Abstract

The increasing competition among private higher education institutions (PHEIs) at the regional level often leads to managerial isolation, limiting collective capacity to improve quality and competitiveness. This study aims to develop a co-opetition-based collaborative governance model through hybrid governance mechanisms to enhance the regional competitiveness of private universities. Employing a qualitative multiple-case study design, data were collected from 28 institutional leaders in the Cirebon region through in-depth interviews, institutional document analysis, and reflective field observations. Data were analyzed using an interactive approach involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that private universities demonstrate strong readiness to transform competitive relations into a more collaborative and synergistic ecosystem. The study identifies a hybrid governance model integrating formal legal arrangements with informal trust-based relational mechanisms among institutional leaders. A distinctive feature of this model lies in the incorporation of local Islamic values as ethical capital for mitigating inter-institutional conflicts and strengthening collaborative commitment. The findings further indicate that co-opetition practices contribute to resource-sharing efficiency, support accreditation improvement, and strengthen collective bargaining capacity at the regional level. This study contributes to the development of a co-opetition-based governance framework by integrating strategic, relational, ethical, and cultural dimensions into higher education governance practices. Practically, the study highlights the importance of institutionalized inter-university collaboration forums to sustain competitive synergy within emerging regional higher education ecosystems.

Abstract

The phenomenon of online game addiction among youth has emerged as a critical concern in today’s digital society, significantly influencing social interaction and educational outcomes. This study aims to examine the psychological and sociological effects of excessive online gaming through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from 32 scholarly articles and undergraduate theses published between 2013 and 2025, and analyzed to identify recurring behavioral and academic patterns. The findings indicate that approximately 70% of the reviewed studies reported a decline in face-to-face communication, emotional sensitivity, and empathy among young gamers. Moreover, 65% of the sources highlighted academic disengagement, decreased motivation to learn, and lower performance levels. Prolonged gaming also correlates with heightened stress, anxiety, and irregular sleep cycles, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of this behavioral issue. These impacts extend beyond the individual, disrupting family relations and school environments. The study recommends integrated interventions involving parental monitoring, educator participation, and balanced digital policy implementation to foster responsible gaming habits. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of online game addiction by integrating perspectives from social learning and behavioral addiction theories, providing a conceptual framework for future studies on youth digital behavior.

Abstract

This study explores the legal and managerial implications of the absence of a Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa/BEM) at Universitas Pamulang. Law No. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education recognizes students’ rights to form intra-campus organizations as part of their academic and civic development. Nevertheless, Universitas Pamulang operates only through faculty-based associations (HIMA), without a university-level BEM. Using a normative juridical approach and descriptive qualitative analysis, this research reveals that the absence of BEM restricts student representation, weakens interfaculty coordination, and limits participatory decision-making. From a legal perspective, this condition indicates partial non-compliance with statutory obligations regarding organizational rights. From a managerial perspective, it reflects a governance gap that undermines accountability and inclusivity. The findings highlight the need for universities to align legal compliance with participatory management practices to enhance institutional legitimacy and educational quality. The study recommends that higher education institutions establish representative student bodies to foster democratic engagement and fulfill the mandates of national law.

Abstract

While empirical debates persist regarding the developmental impacts of screen time on early childhood, the pedagogical potential of touchscreen interfaces as positive motor stimulators remains under-explored. This study investigated the optimization of early childhood fine motor skills including finger flexibility, hand-eye coordination, and movement control through a structured touchscreen finger-painting intervention. Adopting a two-cycle action research framework, the intervention was deployed among 20 children aged 4 to 5 years. Data were gathered using a triangulated approach comprising systematic observation, practitioner interviews, and artifact documentation. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant developmental shift, where the percentage of children reaching high-level mastery of Developing as Expected and Very Well Developed increased from 65% in Cycle I to 80% in Cycle II. Beyond statistical gains, the qualitative insights demonstrated that the interactive haptic and visual feedback of the touchscreen interface significantly enhanced spatial control and visual-motor coordination. The primary contribution of this study lies in redefining digital interaction, demonstrating that touchscreen finger painting serves as an active pedagogical scaffolding tool rather than a medium for passive consumption.

Abstract

Early childhood language development requires active dialogic interaction; however, conventional morning meeting routines frequently default to passive, teacher-centered monologues. While digital media provides robust multimodal stimulation, it is rarely integrated directly into face-to-face collaborative routines to overcome expressive language constraints. This study investigates how the systematic integration of interactive digital media into morning meeting routines scaffolds both the receptive and expressive language capacities of young learners. Employing a cyclical practitioner-led action research design, the study involved 17 young learners aged between 5 and 6 years who initially exhibited severe communicative passivity. The intervention utilized interactive presentations, digital word cards, and audiovisual storytelling across two complete instructional cycles. Data were gathered through behavioral observation, dialogue transcription, and performance rubrics validated via inter-rater reliability protocols. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant acceleration in overall language mastery, escalating from a pre-intervention baseline of 41% to an optimal 86.2% by the conclusion of the second cycle. Furthermore, qualitative micro-analysis demonstrated that synchronized visual and auditory cues successfully reduced extraneous cognitive load. This cognitive optimization enabled the children to transition from silent peer mimicry to autonomous sentence construction and coherent narrative expression. By bridging the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning with sociocultural scaffolding principles, this research establishes that digital tools can function as collaborative social glue rather than isolating devices. Ultimately, this instructional framework provides a cost-effective and scalable blueprint for international educators seeking to optimize child-centered communicative agency in resource-constrained environments.

Abstract

Early numeracy lays a critical foundation for abstract mathematical reasoning; however, conventional early childhood instruction frequently relies on abstract, worksheet-driven tasks that hinder active cognitive engagement. Framed by embodied cognition and constructivist theories, this practitioner action research evaluated the impact of a nature-based loose parts pedagogy, utilizing twigs, leaves, seeds, and stones, on early numeracy acquisition among 15 preschool children aged 4 to 5 years across two action cycles. Data were collected using validated observation rubrics, performance assessments, and video documentation. Results demonstrated substantial gains in developmental mastery, expanding from a baseline of 20.00% to 40.00% in Cycle I, and reaching 80.00% in Cycle II. Inferential verification confirmed that these gains were statistically significant (p < 0.001) with an exceptionally large effect size (r = 0.89). Granular analysis revealed that one-to-one correspondence achieved the highest growth trajectory, surging by +1.80 points on a 4-point scale (a 107.78% relative increase). Parallel improvements were recorded in teacher instructional facilitation (69.44% to 86.11%) and student active engagement (68.05% to 83.33%). Natural loose parts provided tactile-sensory scaffolding that mediated the cognitive transition from concrete physical manipulation to spatial-numerical mapping and symbolic abstraction. This research establishes nature-based loose parts pedagogy as an equitable, scalable, and low-cost early STEM intervention that bridges concrete tactile exploration with abstract mathematical reasoning.

Abstract

Pre-writing readiness in toddlers aged 2.5 to 3 years requires fine sensory-motor integration, yet conventional early childhood instruction heavily relies on abstract paper-and-pencil worksheets that frequently induce motor fatigue and disinterest. Grounded in Gibson's Affordance Theory and Eco-Friendly Pedagogy, this study evaluated the efficacy of a two-dimensional stamping intervention utilizing upcycled loose-part materials to foster graphic-motor readiness in early childhood classrooms. Employing a Practitioner-Led Action Research design embedded within a Design-Based Research framework across two cycles, the investigation involved a purposive sample of 14 toddlers aged 2.5 to 3 years at an early childhood learning center. Data were collected using a validated Graphic-Motor Readiness Rubric and analyzed using non-parametric statistics, with inter-rater reliability confirmed by Cohen's Kappa (k = 0.86). Quantitative findings demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in graphic-motor skills, with the overall median score progressing from 1.50 at baseline (IQR = 0.50) to 2.60 in Cycle II (IQR = 0.50), achieving a 65.1 percent target mastery rate. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Testing confirmed significant cumulative performance gains (Z = -3.32, p = 0.001) accompanied by an exceptionally large effect size (r = 0.89). Qualitative observations revealed a dramatic surge in behavioral task persistence, expanding from an average of less than 4 minutes during worksheet tasks to 18 to 22 minutes per eco-stamping session. Upcycled materials functioned as active sensorimotor catalysts whose tactile affordances elicited adaptive digital grasp mechanics and dynamic force regulation. This study provides a cost-effective, sustainable pedagogical model for replacing abstract worksheets with tactile loose-part experiences in early childhood education.

Abstract

Passive, worksheet-based instructional routines in early childhood education often restrict sensory-motor exploration and peer interaction, leading to diminished classroom engagement. To address this challenge, this study investigated how an interactive culinary pedagogy transforms behavioral, emotional, and social engagement while fostering fine motor precision and collaborative competencies among preschoolers aged 5–6 years (N = 10). Employing a mixed-methods action research case study design, data were gathered across baseline, Cycle I, and Cycle II observations using validated rubrics evaluated by two independent observers (k ≥ 0.83). Quantitative scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and rank-biserial effect sizes, complemented by reflexive thematic analysis of qualitative field notes and video recordings. Results demonstrated statistically significant improvements across all constructs (p < 0.005, r ≥ 0.88). Overall engagement rose from a baseline mean of M = 1.85 (SD = 0.32) to M = 3.70 (SD = 0.21) in Cycle II (Z = -2.82). Fine motor precision advanced from M = 1.60 (SD = 0.28) to M = 3.60 (SD = 0.23) (Z = -2.82), characterized by mature pincer grasps and enhanced hand-eye coordination. Collaborative competencies similarly evolved from parallel play to synchronized group problem-solving (M = 1.45 to M = 3.50, Z = -2.81). As a key theoretical and practical contribution, this study validates an integrated framework of embodied sensory-motor collaboration, establishing culinary pedagogy as a viable dual-targeted intervention that bridges physical manipulation with socio-emotional development in early childhood settings.
