Abstract

The Extended Mind concept, as introduced in The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain by Annie Murphy Paul, challenges the traditional view that cognition is solely confined to the brain. This book argues that human thinking extends beyond neural processes, incorporating the body, environment, social interactions, and technology. By understanding these external cognitive factors, individuals and organizations can optimize learning, problem-solving, and productivity. This article reviews the key ideas of the book, highlighting its relevance to education, the workplace, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) as a cognitive extension. The first major aspect, thinking with the body, demonstrates that gestures, movement, and physical interaction enhance cognitive performance, creativity, and problem-solving. In education, incorporating physical movement into learning activities improves comprehension, while in the workplace, structured movement fosters innovation. The second aspect, utilizing space and environment, emphasizes the impact of well-designed physical spaces on cognitive efficiency. Proper lighting, workspace flexibility, and architectural elements influence focus, productivity, and collaboration. The third aspect, social interaction as a thinking tool, underscores how collaboration and discussion accelerate information processing and critical thinking. Work environments that promote interaction enhance decision-making and employee satisfaction. Finally, integrating technology in cognitive systems explores AI's role in augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it. AI can streamline data analysis and decision-making but must be used as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for human cognition. The book's insights offer valuable recommendations for education and industry. Educational institutions should integrate embodied learning techniques and create interactive learning environments. Organizations should design workspaces that enhance cognitive efficiency and balance AI integration with human expertise. Ultimately, The Extended Mind is a compelling read for educators, professionals, and researchers seeking to understand and enhance human cognition. Its synthesis of neuroscience, psychology, and real-world applications makes it an essential resource in the modern era of AI and digital transformation.

Abstract

Transparansi penggunaan keuangan didalam pemerintahan desa meupakan salah satau faktor utama penentu kesuksesan dalam pembangunan desa. Akan tetapi, dengan adanya dana desa juga dapat menimbulkan permasalahan yang baru dalam pengelolaannya. Berdasarkan pengamatan awal yang dilakukan penulis bahwa terdapat beberapa masalah yang terjadi di Desa Cendana Hitam yang pertama adalah mengenai prioritas anggaran dana desa yang masih kurang maksimal dilaksanakan, kemudian yang kedua terkait publikasi anggaran dana desa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengelolaan dana desa serta bagaimana transparansi pengelolaan dana desa di Desa Cendana Hitam Kecamatan Tomoni Timur Kabupaten Luwu Timur. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalaui observasi, wawanncara, dan dokumentasi. Adapaun hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa pengelolaan dana desa yang dilakukan oleh Pemerintah Desa Cendana Hitam sudah dilakukan berdasarkan Permendagri Nomor 113 Tahun 2014, dimana pengelolaan dana desa meliputi, tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan serta pertanggungjawaban sudah dilakukan dengan baik. Kemudian, pemerintah desa belum menerapkan prinsip tranparansi secara 100% namun, transparansi baru dilakukan 50% dimana belum semua masyarakat dilibatkan dalam proses perencanaan pembangunan sampai dengan serah terima hasil pembangunan dimana hanya masyarakat tertentu atau orang-orang yang berkepenting saja yang dilibatkan oleh pemerintah desa. Oleh karena itu, dalam meningkatkan transparansi pengelolaan dana desa maka sebaiknya pemerintah desa menyediakan informasi yang dapat dengan mudah diakses oleh masyarakat desa serta melibatkan masyarakat dalam setiap proses penggunaan dana desa. Transparency in the use of finance in village government is one of the main factors determining success in village development. However, the existence of village funds can also create new problems in their management. Based on initial observations made by the author, there are several problems that occur in Cendana Hitam Village, the first is regarding village fund budget priorities which are still not implemented optimally, then the second is related to the publication of the village fund budget. This research aims to find out how village funds are managed and how transparent the management of village funds is in Cendana Hitam Village, East Tomoni District, East Luwu Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation. The results of this research show that the management of village funds carried out by the Cendana Hitam Village Government has been carried out based on Permendagri Number 113 of 2014, where the management of village funds includes the planning, implementation and accountability stages have been carried out well. Then, the village government has not implemented the principle of transparency 100% however, transparency has only been 50% where not all communities have been involved in the development planning process up to the handover of development results where only certain communities or people with interests have been involved by the village government. Therefore, to increase the transparency of village fund management, the village government should provide information that can be easily accessed by village communities and involve the community in every process of using village funds.

Abstract

Artikel konseptual ini menawarkan kerangka integratif untuk memperkuat organisasi publik melalui tiga domain yang saling menguatkan: desain organisasi berbasis kontingensi, budaya integritas dan pengendalian internal berbasis risiko, serta transformasi digital yang ditopang tata kelola data. Berangkat dari teori organisasi, kepemimpinan, pengambilan keputusan, manajemen kinerja, dan studi pemerintahan digital, artikel ini menegaskan bahwa persoalan kinerja layanan publik jarang bersumber dari satu faktor. Kualitas layanan, akuntabilitas, dan responsivitas lahir dari interaksi antara struktur, dinamika manusia, proses keputusan, dan sistem pengawasan. Di era digital, sistem informasi dan tata kelola data dapat mempercepat koordinasi, transparansi, dan auditabilitas, tetapi hanya efektif jika didahului penyederhanaan proses dan standar minimum yang jelas. Artikel ini merumuskan proposisi konseptual dan jalur implementasi bertahap bagi organisasi publik.
