Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the implementation of community school policies within the framework of critical education, based on Presidential Instruction No. 8 of 2025 on the eradication of extreme poverty. Research Methodology: This research uses qualitative methods based on policy studies to evaluate the effectiveness, challenges, and opportunities of community school programs in supporting poverty reduction through education. Results: “Sekolah Rakyat” can build critical awareness in poor communities, strengthen local participation, and integrate education with local wisdom. However, the success of this program still faces the challenges of inter-agency coordination, limited human resources, and inadequate facilities. Therefore, sustainable policy support, cross-sector collaboration, and community engagement are essential to strengthen the impact of Community Schools as a tool of social transformation and inclusive education. Conclusions: The implementation of "Sekolah Rakyat" as an alternative education policy in Indonesia has great potential to reduce social and economic disparities, especially for the poor and marginal communities. Paulo Freire's critical education approach provides not only practical knowledge but also critical thinking skills and social awareness to play a role in social change. Education based on local wisdom is considered relevant to the needs of the community. Limitations: This research shows that the "people's school" policy has great potential as a strategy to reduce extreme poverty through education. The government needs to push the mainstream of alternative education policies based on social empowerment into national policies. Contribution: The study emphasizes that "Sekolah rakyat" are not only Centers for academic learning, but also for life skills, character development, and social awareness.

Abstract

This study develops a model for strengthening citizen journalism through local communities as a form of public participation in transparent and accountable governance. The research addresses the increasing public role in disseminating information amid rapid technological growth, which often lacks structured support and leads to misinformation. Using a qualitative descriptive case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and documentation, then analyzed thematically with triangulation for validity. The findings indicate that strengthening citizen journalism through local communities relies on three main pillars: (1) an inclusive and coordinated community organization, (2) an integrated two-way communication system between citizens and government (G2C), and (3) local government support through media literacy training, verification mechanisms, and legal protection. Case studies of Radio KDS 8 and Community Information Groups (KIM) in Malang demonstrate that empowered local communities effectively channel public aspirations, verify information, and serve as communicative bridges between citizens and government. The proposed model offers a strategic policy framework to promote participatory governance, enhance digital democracy resilience, and build public trust. Theoretically and practically, it contributes to improving information accountability, reducing misinformation, and strengthening citizen engagement in local governance.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the socio-educational interactions between teachers and students. This article also looks at a literacy activity utilized by the teachers and students and their interaction patterns. Research methodology: This research applied a naturalistic approach and descriptive qualitative research design. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data then were analyzed descriptively using the Miles and Huberman analysis model, namely data condensation, data presentation, and concluding. Results: The research results show that to improve student literacy, there were two patterns of interaction: first, a one-way interaction pattern centered on the teacher as a facilitator, corrector, evaluator in literacy activities: second, a multi-directional interaction pattern occurred. Literacy activities aim to train the learners’ ability in reading, understanding and commenting. During the core activities, several aspects of the interactions occur between teachers and students, such as conveying information, explaining, motivating, and proposing to students. At the closing stage of literacy, several aspects of the interaction between teachers and students occur. Making summaries and reading about the literacy activities have provided directions for further literacy activities and conducting evaluations that have been carried out. Limitations: There are limitations to the researcher, so this research is limited to one school only with the object of research on all students and teachers assigned to literacy activities at SMA Negeri 1 Latambaga. Contribution: The study is expected to assist the schools in monitoring the literacy activities and developing student literacy, whereas, for students, this study is expected to improve their literacy and broaden their insights about technological and scientific developments.

Abstract

Interactive Biology learning training for rural school teachers aims to improve the quality of teaching by utilizing learning methods that actively involve students, despite the limited resources available. This study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological design to explore the teacher's experience and perception of the training. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The results showed that this training has a positive impact on improving the knowledge and skills of teachers in implementing interactive Biology learning. Teachers feel more confident in using simple teaching aids and environment-based experiments as a learning medium. However, the main challenge faced is the limited facilities and teaching aids in rural schools. In addition, despite the increase in student activity, teachers also face difficulties in managing the diversity of student interests and abilities. Overall, the training improves the quality of teaching in rural schools and provides practical guidance to address existing challenges. This research suggests that continuous training should be conducted and focus on practical solutions related to limited resources

Abstract

Biodiversity is an integral part of the balance of ecosystems that support the survival of various living beings on Earth, including humans. However, threats to biodiversity due to environmental degradation, climate change, and overexploitation have led to significant declines in many species and ecosystems. One effective strategy to address this problem is community empowerment through biology education. Through Biology Education, people can acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the importance of biodiversity conservation as well as the ways in which they can maintain the balance of ecosystems. This study aims to examine how biology education can empower the community in an effort to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem balance. Through a qualitative approach, this study explores the influence of biology education programs on increasing environmental awareness, behavior change, and community involvement in conservation activities. The results showed that biology education can improve people's understanding of the relationship between human activities and their impact on ecosystems. This education Program also encourages communities to engage in various conservation activities, such as afforestation, waste management, and protection of local species.
