Abstract

This study examines the role of women in supporting household economic sustainability, as well as the enabling and constraining factors, through their involvement at the Puspa Nyidro Batik Home Industry in Magelang Regency, Central Java Province. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study involved five female batik workers and one manager as research participants. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that women perform three interconnected roles. First, the productive role is reflected in their participation in batik production, which contributes directly to household income. Second, the reproductive role is evident in their continued responsibility for domestic tasks, including childcare, spousal care, cooking, and household maintenance. Third, the social role is demonstrated through their active participation in community organizations, particularly the Family Welfare Movement (PKK). Despite their significant contributions, women face economic challenges, primarily low and unstable income due to fluctuating market demand. However, flexible working hours, prior batik-making skills, and strong family support serve as key driving factors that enable their sustained participation. This study contributes to the discourse on women’s economic roles in home-based industries by highlighting the intersection of productive, reproductive, and social responsibilities. It also underscores the importance of skills development and targeted economic support to strengthen the resilience of female workers in the informal sector.

Abstract

The increasing number of elderly people is a challenge for all groups. This can become a problem if not addressed immediately. To address these problems, elderly schools are a solution in increasing the capacity of the elderly. This study aims to describe the empowerment process that occurs at the Pancasila Elderly School in Bandungan District. The research method uses descriptive qualitative methods that focus on three stages of the empowerment process: awareness, transformation, and capacity building. Furthermore, the empowerment outcomes focus on cognitive, psychomotor, and independence improvements. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. Analysis techniques used include data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the empowerment of the elderly community through elderly school activities is running well by implementing a gradual empowerment process. At the awareness stage, the Elderly School is able to raise awareness among the elderly to join the elderly school program through various efforts. The transformation stage is marked by increased participation of the elderly in attending the elderly school. Tutors provide material on health to ensure the success of this stage. In the final stage, the capacity building stage, the elderly experience increased capabilities, especially in the health sector, enabling them to live independently without requiring assistance from family and the community. Improvement in the elderly is characterized by cognitive improvement, namely the growth of the elderly's knowledge and ability to think. Furthermore, psychomotor development in the elderly develops through exercise, increasing the elderly's ability to take responsibility for themselves, thus supporting them in achieving independence in their lives.

Abstract

As higher education systems worldwide face increasing pressure to demonstrate measurable learning outcomes and respond to changing societal and labor-market needs, Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has become increasingly important for curriculum transformation. This study analyzes OBE implementation in the Non-Formal Education Program at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), Indonesia, and the Lifelong Learning Program at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, focusing on implementation strategies, challenges, and opportunities. Using a qualitative comparative case study, data were collected from lecturers, students, program managers, and alumni through interviews, observations, curriculum document analysis, and focus group discussions, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model and cross-case comparison. Findings show that UNNES implements OBE with reference to the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI), emphasizing local needs and community empowerment, whereas Chulalongkorn University integrates OBE within a lifelong learning framework characterized by credit flexibility, Recognition of Prior Learning, and alignment with the ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework (AQRF). Both institutions face challenges related to authentic assessment consistency, faculty preparedness, and diverse student backgrounds. Nevertheless, international collaboration, portfolio-based assessment, and sister-curriculum development offer significant opportunities. The study demonstrates how institutional contexts shape OBE implementation and contributes to developing adaptive, inclusive, and student-empowering higher education models in Southeast Asia.
