Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many businesses to shut down their operations and shift to digital platforms to survive and ensure their business continues. Hence, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have undergone an accelerated digital transformation to adopt technological innovations. The research aimed to identify the factors that encouraged and hindered digital innovation in MSMEs during economic destabilization, focusing on the perspectives of young entrepreneurs in Makassar City. Qualitative methods were used, involving in-depth interviews with 25 young entrepreneurs in Makassar City to explore the positive and negative impacts of transitioning to digital platforms post-pandemic. Data analysis was conducted using the inductive content analysis method. The results show that digital innovation in MSMEs after the pandemic is influenced by external factors (market and demand restrictions) and internal factors (personal and professional development). The limited financing, technology, and management of MSMEs compared to large enterprises make them more vulnerable to post-pandemic bankruptcy. Barriers faced in running businesses post-pandemic include market challenges on digital platforms, the need for necessary skills, and infrastructure availability. The implications of these findings are expected to develop programs that support young entrepreneurs and provide recommendations for the government in formulating policies and strategies to encourage digital entrepreneurship, especially in developing countries after the current pandemic.

Abstract

This article aims to determine the impact of education management reforms on school autonomy in encouraging collaboration and competition between schools conducted in Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi. This qualitative case study research was conducted over two months using data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 school principals in Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi, who were selected using purposeful sampling. Data analysis used triangulation techniques. The results showed that government decisions related to school autonomy and similar matters significantly influence relationships (collaboration and competition) between schools. The implications of these findings trigger a discussion on the impact of education management reforms aimed at increasing school autonomy in the context of school-to-school relationships. This study showed that educational management associated with school autonomy significantly influences relationships between schools. Decreasing the role of the state and increasing school autonomy exert different effects on school-to-school relationships depending on the governance model adopted. This study also shows that the experience of school collaboration and competition depends largely on the current policy of reorganizing school networks in cities and districts.

Abstract

Strawberries, which are closely associated with the Ciwidey District in West Java, pass through a supply chain that includes numerous stakeholders, from farmers to retailers. This complex chain results in significant price disparities and lowers farmers' profits. This study aims to analyse the value chain and price disparity of strawberry commodities in Ciwidey District, Bandung Regency, West Java. The value chain analysis method is used to understand and improve the way a product or service generates value, and Hayami's analysis is used to calculate the added value for each actor in this supply chain. Based on the results of the analysis, the value chain of strawberry commodities in Ciwidey District obtained parties/actors that play a role in this supply chain, such as farmers, who act as producers of the strawberry cultivation process. Small collectors who collect the strawberry harvest directly from the farmers do the sorting and grading and sell it to large collectors. Large collectors act as traders who collect the strawberry harvest and distribute the sales more widely. Retailers act as traders who sell strawberries to consumers. The added value obtained by farmers is Rp 300.01/kg, small collectors Rp 6,345.67/kg, large collectors Rp 14,799.29/kg, and retailers Rp 18,224.8/kg. In this strawberry commodity value chain, the disparity value from the farmer to the consumer level is Rp 63,550/kg. The implications of this study provide insight into market dynamics and offer a basis for improvements and interventions that can help all parties, especially in improving the economic conditions of farmers. The strawberry supply chain's complexity impacts various actors differently. Farmers suffer reduced profits due to price disparities, while retailers gain from price markups. Consumers experience price variability. This study highlights the need for interventions to streamline the supply chain, reduce intermediaries, and improve farmers' economic conditions.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the role of Medan Prijaji, a newspaper founded by Tirto Adhi Soerjo in 1907, in the anti-colonial movement during the period 1907-1914. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a critical historical approach through literature study. The research results show that Medan Prijaji not only functions as a medium of information but also as a symbolic public space that enables socio-political mobilization. This newspaper became a catalyst in voicing criticism against colonialism and building community solidarity to achieve social change. These findings also highlight the importance of Medan Prijaji as a cultural resistance tool in facing cultural homogenization due to colonial domination. This research makes an important contribution to the study of socio-political history, particularly regarding the role of media in building resistance and solidarity. Moreover, these findings are relevant for understanding the potential of modern media as a tool of resistance in the current context of globalization.

Abstract

Museums are often underutilised as learning resources, despite their great potential to enhance students' historical understanding and creativity. This lack of utilisation results in limited in-depth and enjoyable learning experiences for students. This research aims to identify the benefits of museums as a source of learning history and its role as an educational tourism destination. The method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that museum visits as an outdoor learning model can improve students' understanding, create a more enjoyable learning atmosphere, and encourage student creativity. In addition, the museum also acts as an educational tourism destination that enriches people's insights about cultural heritage. The findings emphasise the importance of museum integration in the educational process and as a means of educational tourism, by providing practical recommendations for teachers and educational institutions to make optimal use of museums in learning activities.

Abstract

The development of the business world and the industrial world demands more hard skills, creativity and critical thinking from school graduates, including vocational school graduates. One of the efforts to achieve this is by implementing a Merdeka curriculum, where the learning process is constructivism, which means student-centred learning. For this reason, a prospective educator's understanding of the constructivism philosophy contained in the independent learning concept must be improved first. This article will explain the philosophy of constructivism in the concept of independent learning to develop the understanding of prospective educators so they can implement it in learning at vocational schools. The author uses the library research method to explore and collect relevant information and data from various sources. Constructivism is defined as learning that emphasises that knowledge is the formation (construction) of oneself. Constructivism emphasises the process rather than the result and has the principle of student centre learning, the teacher is only a facilitator, and students discover more on their own. This is very much in line with independent learning; students can determine the knowledge they need by emphasising the learning process. Prospective educators have an important role in building the competencies needed by students; these competencies are the 4C abilities (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity). Education that applies the 4C skills and gives the freedom to think critically will form learners with superior and adaptive characteristics.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe teachers' perceptions of the implementation of an independent curriculum in elementary schools. This research is qualitative. Qualitative research explores and understands the meaning of several individuals or groups of people with social problems. The researchers construct reality and understand the meaning, so this research strongly focuses on processes, events, and authenticity. The respondents were elementary school teachers. Data were collected through interviews. The main instrument of this study was the researcher, supported by field notes. All data were collected and reviewed descriptively to obtain reliable and trustworthy findings. The results showed that: (1) teachers' perceptions are positive and good towards the implementation of the Merdeka curriculum in elementary schools, (2) teachers play an essential role in the process of curriculum development and implementation in elementary schools, and the success of curriculum implementation depends on the intensity with which teachers implement the curriculum in the classroom, (3) teachers can develop and implement curriculum and design classes to improve learning quality; (4) socialisation and special technical guidance related to the formation of the Pancasila learner profile have not been maximised; (5) not all elementary school teachers have adopted Merdeka curriculum; (6) not all teachers have information technology skills; and (7) the obstacle in implementing Merdeka curriculum is the lack of stable internet access, especially for remote schools that have geographically difficult internet access.

Abstract

This study utilized Twitter data to examine narratives related to psychosocial responses to the impacts of COVID-19 among Indonesians, which were further discussed in the context of coping strategies. We collected and analyzed tweets containing coping-related trending hashtags, namely #Covid-19, #coronavirus, #lockdown, #dirumahsaja (stay at home), #newnormal, #pakaimasker (wear a mask), #amandirumah (safe at home), #vaksin (vaccine), #ppkm (referring to the micro-lockdown term), #coping, and the keyword “mental health.” A total of 24,502 tweets were collected from three distinct periods: the Early COVID-19 Emergency Responses Phase, the New Habit Adaptation Phase, and the Early Mass Vaccination Phase, using a Python-based library. After filtering out duplicate and irrelevant tweets, a total of 6,265 tweets were subjected to deductive content analysis procedures. This study found that Indonesian Twitter users more often tweeted narration related to problem-focused coping strategies during the three periods of COVID-19 in Indonesia, followed by seeking social support in the first and the third periods, while cognitive coping was the second most strategy in the second period. Informational sharing, problem-solving strategies, and criticism were the three most forms of problem-focused coping strategy. Calls or appeals and social support seeking was the most form of social coping strategies. The forms of cognitive coping were finding meaning or reflection, views, and optimism. This study implies the exploration of the speech-act psychology, the intersection of psychology, communication, and even technology to understand how individuals and communities adapt to crises. The findings also inform public health communication strategies, social media governance, and mental health interventions aimed at mitigating the impacts of crises.
