Abstract

Purpose –  This study addresses a critical gap in character education literature by examining how Indonesian parents in diaspora settings, specifically those with children attending Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL), perceive and implement character education within the family. Given Generation Alpha’s deep immersion in technology and the shifting cultural identities of diaspora families, this research highlights the need for moral resilience fostered through family-based character development. Methods/Design/Approach – Using a qualitative approach, the study employed Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and in-depth interviews involving 30 purposively selected parents of SIKL students across grades X–XII. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, then thematically analyzed with the support of NVivo software. The analysis focused on six key dimensions of parental involvement: parenting, communication, home-based learning, contribution, decision-making, and collaboration. Findings – Parents consistently associated character education with empathy, honesty, religiosity, and emotional intelligence. Role modeling (35%), discussion and reflection (45%), and open communication emerged as dominant methods. Major challenges included children’s technology dependence (65%), limited parent–child time, and academic stress. Key support resources included family centers, faith communities, parenting groups, and social media networks. Originality/Value – This study offers novel insights into character education within transnational families, emphasizing the strategic role of parental engagement in preserving national identity and moral values in intercultural contexts. While exploratory, the study's findings serve as a theoretical and practical foundation for future research across diaspora settings. Practical Implications – Schools serving diaspora populations should institutionalize collaborative character education programs with active parental involvement. Family-centered training modules, value-based projects, and intercultural parenting forums are essential to maintain consistency in moral education. The study’s geographic and informant scope presents limitations, inviting future research to include student and teacher perspectives for a more holistic understanding.

Abstract

Purpose – The focus or main purpose of this study emphasizes appropriate collaboration between the roles of digital literacy, AI platforms, and learning styles in learners so that it provides a significant impact on learning effectiveness, particularly on learners' learning outcomes. Methods/Design/Approach – This study uses a quantitative approach, with a multiple linear regression method. The population and sample are students of Vocational High School (SMK) in East Java, with a research sample of 384 respondents using random sampling and Cochran calculation. Data collection uses a questionnaire (survey) method with a 7-point Likert scale. Validity and reliability tests are used to test the feasibility of the instrument, and continued with model feasibility testing using the classical assumption test, while hypothesis testing uses multiple linear regression test analysis. Findings – The results show that partially and simultaneously the variables of digital literacy, artificial inttelegence, and learning styles have a significant effect on learning outcomes. This is seen from the t-count value > t-table [DL: 6.020 > 1.966; AI: 4.408 > 1.966; 14.166 > 1.966], and also the F-count value > F-table [250.106 > 2.268], in addition the R-Square value also shows 0.664. Originality/Value – This study has strong originality because it simultaneously examines the roles of digital literacy, the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based platforms, and learners' learning styles in influencing learning effectiveness. This study has not been widely conducted comprehensively, thus providing a new contribution in understanding how these three aspects interact with each other and impact the quality of the teaching and learning process in the digital era. Practical Implications – These findings emphasize more on how all actors in education (students, teachers, and educational institutions) are able to integrate digital literacy into the curriculum, utilize artificial intelligence (AI)-based learning platforms that support personalization, and map students' learning styles early to adjust teaching strategies.
