Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the challenges of implementing Joyful Learning in primary school mathematics instruction across four public schools in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi, addressing the gap between national curriculum policy endorsement of student-centered pedagogy and its actual classroom practice. Methods: A qualitative multi-site case study design was employed involving 12 mathematics teachers and 60 students across urban and peripheral schools. Data were collected through 48 classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, lesson plan (RPP) analysis, school assessment reports, and a student engagement questionnaire, analyzed using Miles and Huberman's (2014) interactive model. Findings: Only 25% of observed lessons incorporated joyful elements (40% urban vs. 10% peripheral schools). Student engagement averaged 2.3 out of 5.0, with 65% reporting persistent confusion and average achievement scores of 65/100. Research Implications: Effective Joyful Learning requires sustained mathematics-specific teacher professional development, equitable resource allocation, and structured community engagement programs. Policymakers should develop ready-to-use joyful mathematics modules aligned with Kurikulum Merdeka objectives and establish dedicated infrastructure funding for peripheral schools. Originality: This study provides the first multi-site empirical evidence of Joyful Learning implementation in a mid-sized Indonesian city, revealing how urban-peripheral resource disparities systematically determine pedagogical innovation outcomes at the primary school level.

Abstract

Purpose: This study assesses the project performance of a revetment construction project at Manado Bay, Bersehati Market Complex (contract value IDR 11,120,996,728; duration 133 calendar days) using the Earned Value Management method, while examining its effectiveness as a real-project-based learning medium in the Construction Management course. Methods: A quantitative-descriptive approach using Earned Value Analysis was employed over 19 weeks, applying three primary EVM indicators BCWS, BCWP, and ACWP, from which SPI, CPI, and project completion projections (ETC, EAC, ETS, ECD) were derived from the project's BoQ, planned and actual S-curves, and weekly execution reports. Findings: At week 19, SPI = 2.6 (ahead of schedule) and CPI = 0.4 (severe cost overrun). EAC reached IDR 50,896,353,625.36 (≈4.6× the original budget); estimated completion is 167 days, exceeding the contract by 34 days. The paradoxical coexistence of high SPI and critically low CPI constitutes an educationally valuable scenario for analytical learning. Research Implications: Real project data has strong potential to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding of EVM, cultivate integrated data-interpretation skills, and build forecasting competencies aligned with construction industry demands. Civil engineering programs should systematically incorporate real project case studies supported by comprehensive assessment rubrics. Conclusion: EVM analysis of real government project data constitutes an effective and theoretically grounded PBL medium for Construction Management instruction, simultaneously developing technical competency and higher-order analytical thinking aligned with KKNI Level 6 and SN-Dikti requirements. Originality: This study is the first to integrate quantitative EVM project-performance analysis with a theoretically grounded pedagogical framework within a single coherent research design, addressing a gap in civil engineering education literature in Indonesia.

Abstract

The community service activity with the title "Improving the Quality of Research and Publication in the Scopus Journal for Lecturers and Students" aims to improve the ability of lecturers and students to produce quality scientific works, especially for publication in Scopus-indexed international journals. In today's academic context, publication in international journals is becoming increasingly important, so appropriate support is needed to overcome various challenges faced in the research and writing process of articles. The method applied in this program is a collaborative approach, which includes interactive workshops and direct mentoring by lecturers. Presentation sessions were also organized to share research findings, providing opportunities for participants to learn from each other. The results of this activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of research techniques and how to write good scientific articles. In addition, the program has successfully formed collaborative groups between students and lecturers, which creates high motivation to continue research. The evaluation of participants showed satisfaction with the implementation of the program and expectations to continue similar activities in the future. This activity concludes that the mentoring program not only improves the quality of research but also creates a positive research culture in the academic environment. This is very important for the development of science and the reputation of higher education institutions.
