Abstract

Background. Rural schools often face challenges in promoting sustainable development due to limited resources and the disconnect between global educational frameworks and local contexts. Local wisdom, rooted in the cultural and environmental knowledge of rural communities, offers valuable insights that can be integrated into curriculum design to foster sustainability and relevance in education. Despite its potential, the integration of local wisdom into formal education remains underutilized in many rural areas, limiting the impact of education on sustainable development. Purpose. This study aims to explore how local wisdom can be leveraged in curriculum design to promote sustainable development in rural schools. Method. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research involved interviews and focus group discussions with educators, community leaders, and students from three rural schools. The study examined existing curricula, identified elements of local wisdom, and explored ways to incorporate these elements into formal education. Data were analyzed thematically to identify key strategies for integrating local wisdom into teaching practices. Results. The findings reveal that incorporating local wisdom into the curriculum enhances students’ understanding of sustainable practices by connecting global sustainability goals with local knowledge and practices. Educators and community leaders played a critical role in bridging this gap, creating a more relevant and contextually grounded learning experience for students. The study also highlights the importance of collaboration between schools and local communities in fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility for sustainable development. Conclusion. In conclusion, leveraging local wisdom in curriculum design can significantly contribute to sustainable development in rural schools by creating more relevant, practical, and community-centered learning experiences. Further research is recommended to explore scalable models for integrating local knowledge into educational frameworks.

Abstract

Background. Educational institutions face increasing demands for transparency and accountability in their administrative processes. Traditional systems often lack the necessary security, efficiency, and transparency to meet these demands, leading to issues such as fraud, mismanagement, and mistrust. Blockchain technology, known for its decentralized and immutable nature, has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges within educational administration. Purpose. This research aims to explore the potential of blockchain technology in enhancing transparency and accountability in educational administration. The study focuses on how blockchain can improve data integrity, reduce administrative costs, and streamline processes in educational institutions. Method. A qualitative approach was adopted, involving case studies of institutions that have implemented blockchain-based solutions for administrative purposes. Data was collected through interviews with administrators, technology experts, and stakeholders to assess the impact of blockchain technology on transparency and accountability. Results. The findings indicate that blockchain significantly improves data security and traceability, ensuring that records are tamper-proof and easily auditable. It also reduces administrative overhead by automating processes and streamlining communication between stakeholders. Furthermore, blockchain enhances stakeholder trust through transparent and decentralized decision-making. Conclusion. Blockchain technology holds great promise for revolutionizing educational administration by providing a secure, transparent, and efficient system. Future research should focus on addressing scalability challenges and exploring broader applications of blockchain in educational settings.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the advantages, disadvantages, and ideal picture of superior schools and acceleration programs. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with literature study. The results of the theoretical review present concepts and definitions of excellent schools and acceleration programs. The advantages of excellent schools include a quality learning environment, skilled teachers, and a curriculum focused on critical skills. Disadvantages of excellent schools include high competition and lack of involvement in non-academic aspects. The strengths of accelerated programs are that the academic challenges match the abilities of gifted and bright students. Disadvantages of accelerated programs include social and emotional gaps and a lack of focus on non-academic skills. The ideal picture of excellent schools and accelerated programs includes a balanced approach between academic and non-academic needs, emotional and social support for students, and flexibility in the curriculum. In conjunction with the curriculum reform in Curriculum 2013 (K13), a school policy with an SKS (Satuan Kredit Semester) system was created that emphasizes students' independent and collaborative learning abilities based on Independent Learning Activity Units (UKBM).
