Abstract

Under Jokowi’s presidency, the BRI project was able to further strengthen the bilateral ties between Indonesia and China. This study aims to analyse and focus on: first, the pros and cons of Indonesia's interests in the BRI projects under Jokowi's presidency; second, the political leadership of Jokowi in managing and implementing BRI projects in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach to gather comprehensive data through a literature review. As an analytical tool for this research, the author used the political leadership theory by Kalevi Jaakko Holsti. The finding showed that, first, those who are pro-BRI will provide full support, supervision, and evaluation from year to year. Meanwhile, there are several cons to the BRI project due to fear of the debt trap, the influx of Chinese workers, the environmental damage, the overlapping maritime claims, anti-communist sentiment, and the image of Chinese products. The negative sentiment towards the BRI project can be eased with a soft-infrastructure approach that touches community (people-to-people) bonds. Second, regarding Jokowi's eight-year leadership, Jokowi's type of political leadership is more directed as a conciliator, especially in the China BRI project. It is based on Jokowi's record of making China a good partner and big brother.

Abstract

International doctoral students often face complex challenges related to academic responsibilities, financial pressures, and adapting to new cultures, especially those from developing countries seeking upward mobility and long-term stability. This study explores the experiences of an Indonesian PhD student in Taiwan who, while enrolled in two simultaneous doctoral programs, also works as an English teacher and research assistant. The goal is to understand how international doctoral students shape their well-being and academic identity while managing multiple roles. Using narrative inquiry as the chosen method, this research analyzes autobiographical reflections. It uses thematic narrative analysis to examine how the participant interprets and finds meaning in his experiences across academic, professional, and emotional areas. The results show that employment serves both as an economic strategy and a professional growth opportunity, strengthening the participant’s academic identity. Despite the challenges of a heavy academic workload and adjusting to a new culture, the participant finds support mainly from his spouse and his personal ambitions. His well-being is seen not as a static state but as a dynamic process influenced by resilience, meaning-making, and long-term goals. The study concludes that the well-being of international doctoral students is actively shaped through the negotiation of their identities, responsibilities, and opportunities during a transnational academic journey.

Abstract

A person’s success in achieving educational competencies is influenced not only by intellectual factors but also by non-intellectual factors, such as learning motivation. Cognitive ability is another essential component of successful science learning. However, students’ learning motivation and cognitive abilities in science remain relatively low. Therefore, this study aimed to improve students’ learning motivation and cognitive abilities through the implementation of a local wisdom-based discovery learning model. A pre-experimental study employing a one-group pretest-post-test design was conducted. Learning motivation was measured using a questionnaire, cognitive abilities were assessed through pre-test and post-test instruments, and learning implementation was evaluated using an observation sheet. The data were analyzed using N-Gain and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results showed significant improvements in both learning motivation and cognitive abilities after the implementation of the learning model (Wilcoxon, p < 0.001). The N-Gain score for learning motivation was 0.67 (medium), while the N-Gain score for cognitive abilities was 0.54 (medium). The average implementation of learning across three meetings reached 92%, indicating excellent implementation fidelity. This study contributes empirical evidence by demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating Reog Ponorogo local wisdom into the discovery learning model to enhance students’ learning motivation and cognitive abilities in Indonesian junior secondary science education. These findings suggest that integrating local cultural contexts into science instruction can serve as an effective strategy for improving students’ learning outcomes.
