Abstract

The evolving socio-political, economic, and technological landscapes of the 21st century demand a critical reassessment of governance theory to ensure its relevance in addressing complex and dynamic challenges. This study aims to revisit classical and contemporary approaches by examining their strengths, limitations, and applicability to modern public administration. Employing an integrative literature review, the research synthesizes conceptual and empirical insights from governance paradigms including network governance, collaborative governance, and adaptive governance sourced from leading academic databases. The analysis reveals that while classical hierarchical models provide structural stability and clear authority, they are increasingly inadequate for responding to transnational issues such as climate change, pandemics, technological disruption, and global inequality. Conversely, contemporary paradigms highlight the importance of flexibility, stakeholder collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making supported by digital transformation. The findings indicate that effective governance in the 21st century requires an integrated framework that balances normative ideals of transparency, accountability, and inclusivity with practical imperatives of responsiveness, resilience, and innovation. This synthesis underscores the necessity of feedback mechanisms, organizational learning, and multi-level coordination to navigate uncertainty and create sustainable public value. The study concludes that the future of governance lies not in discarding classical theories entirely, but in reconfiguring them through a comprehensive model that harmonizes structural order with adaptability, thus equipping institutions to manage global complexities while preserving legitimacy and public trust.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Pancasila Education in fostering democratic citizenship and strengthening social cohesion in Indonesia. The background to this research stems from increasing socio-political challenges, such as polarization, intolerance, low civic participation, and weakening national solidarity in a pluralistic society. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library study method, through a critical review of academic literature, educational policies, and key concepts regarding democracy, citizenship, and Pancasila values. The results of the study indicate that Pancasila Education has a strategic function in instilling the values of divinity, humanity, unity, deliberation, and social justice as an ethical foundation for democratic life. Pancasila Education plays a role not only in the transfer of ideological knowledge, but also in the formation of critical, tolerant, participatory, and responsible attitudes as citizens. In addition, the internalization of Pancasila values can strengthen social cohesion through respect for diversity, deliberative conflict resolution, and the strengthening of an inclusive national identity. However, the effectiveness of Pancasila Education depends heavily on a contextual, dialogical, and participatory learning approach, not simply normative memorization. This study concludes that Pancasila Education is a crucial instrument in building substantive democracy and maintaining social integration in Indonesia. Therefore, strengthening the curriculum, educator competencies, and experiential civic learning practices are urgently needed in the development of Pancasila Education.

Abstract

social, cultural, and economic challenges faced by local communities(Yulianti, 2020); (Ali et al., 2024; Dewanto et al., 2023; Ichsan et al., 2023). This study examines ethnic involvement in community-based education by highlighting the power dynamics and ethical considerations that underlie the learning process and community empowerment. In the context of pluralistic community education, the involvement of ethnic groups is not only about participation, but also concerns bargaining positions, socio-cultural representation, and the challenges of maintaining justice and inclusivity. Through a qualitative approach based on literature studies and selected case studies, this study found that power inequality between education facilitators and local communities can hinder the process of social transformation. In addition, disregard for local values and norms often triggers resistance or misinterpretation of educational goals. Therefore, it is important to design a community-based educational approach that is sensitive to social dynamics, upholds participatory ethical principles, and strengthens community voices in decision-making. These findings recommend strengthening critical pedagogical practices that integrate local values with the goal of continuing education development.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the educational landscape, particularly in higher education. This study aims to investigate the impact of AI integration on students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills through a meta-analysis approach. Data were collected from 12 empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025 that examined the implementation of AI-assisted learning environments in universities. Using a random-effects model, the study analyzed effect sizes to determine the overall impact of AI-based interventions. The results reveal a moderate to strong positive effect (Hedges’ g = 0.64) of AI integration on critical thinking skills, and a significant improvement in problem-solving. Subgroup analysis further indicates that adaptive learning systems and AI-driven feedback tools produce the greatest enhancement in cognitive performance compared to traditional instruction. Moreover, the effectiveness of AI integration is influenced by factors such as duration of implementation, discipline area, and the level of technological literacy among students and instructors. These findings underscore the potential of AI as a transformative pedagogical tool that fosters higher-order thinking and learner autonomy in higher education. The study concludes by recommending that universities adopt AI technologies strategically, emphasizing instructional design that aligns with cognitive development principles to ensure sustainable and equitable learning outcomes.

Abstract

The problem of plastic waste is an increasingly complex environmental issue due to the increasing consumption of single-use plastics and the low level of community-based management. This study aims to analyze the use of plastic waste as a creative economy product through a community-based recycling approach, a sustainable solution that integrates environmental, social, and economic aspects. This approach positions the community as the primary actor in the waste management process, from sorting and processing to the creation of economically valuable products, thereby encouraging active participation and increasing environmental awareness. The research method used was a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving field observations, in-depth interviews with community actors, and analysis of documentation related to community-based recycling activities. The results show that utilizing plastic waste through the creative economy not only reduces the volume of plastic waste but also has a positive impact on increasing community income, strengthening social capacity, and fostering local economic independence. The resulting products possess aesthetic and functional value that is competitive in the local market. The study's conclusions confirm that the community-based recycling approach is an effective and sustainable strategy for managing plastic waste while simultaneously encouraging the development of the community's creative economy. Therefore, policy support, ongoing mentoring, and collaboration between the government, academia, and the private sector are needed to expand the implementation of this model as part of environmentally conscious development and community empowerment.

Abstract

The historical evolution of public administration reflects a fundamental transformation from traditional bureaucratic structures toward increasingly participatory, digital, and technology-driven governance systems. This transition, encompassing traditional public administration, New Public Management, e-government, digital governance, and contemporary smart governance, has reshaped the relationship between government institutions, administrative processes, and citizens. Despite the growing implementation of smart governance, empirical evidence regarding its simultaneous contribution to citizen engagement and administrative efficiency remains fragmented, particularly when positioned within the historical transformation of public administration. This study aims to examine the evolution of public administration toward smart governance and quantitatively assess the impact of smart governance implementation on citizen engagement and administrative efficiency. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed using a cross-sectional survey involving citizens who had experience accessing digital public services. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring smart governance implementation, citizen engagement, and administrative efficiency and were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that smart governance implementation has a positive and significant effect on citizen engagement by strengthening access to information, digital participation, government–citizen interaction, responsiveness, and opportunities for involvement in public decision-making. Smart governance also significantly improves administrative efficiency through streamlined procedures, faster service delivery, enhanced information integration, reduced administrative complexity, and more effective utilization of public resources.
