Abstract

This research examines the complexity of anti-Dutch memory in Indonesia by focusing on the idea that colonization is opposed to freedom. This research was carried out using qualitative methods. Data was collected using interview techniques, observation, and document study. The collected data was analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. An in-depth analytical exploration reveals how Dutch colonialism practices limited freedom. The concept of freedom in the context of colonialism includes restrictions on human rights, detrimental economic systems, and oppression of local culture. Anti-Dutch memory records persistent resistance through rebellion and war as a manifestation of freedom. The idea of independence was reflected in the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence in 1945, and liberator figures such as Soekarno became symbols of the struggle against colonialism. Anti-Dutch memory plays a central role in forming Indonesian national identity, constructing collective memory as a cultural heritage passed down through generations. This analysis enriches historical and social understanding, shows the complexity of teaching history, and emphasizes the importance of a contextual approach. This analytical exploration guides reflection on general statements and provides a basis for a deeper understanding of how essential freedom was in the struggle against colonialism. This article contributes to the Indonesian history education research literature. It opens space for further discussion about the impact of anti-Dutch memory on national identity and actual freedom in Indonesia.Penelitian ini mengkaji kompleksitas memori anti-Belanda di Indonesia dengan berfokus pada gagasan bahwa penjajahan bertentangan dengan kebebasan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan teknik wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumen. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis tematik. Eksplorasi analitis mendalam mengungkap bagaimana kolonialisme Belanda mempraktikkan kebebasan yang terbatas. Konsep kebebasan dalam konteks kolonialisme mencakup pembatasan hak asasi manusia, merugikan sistem ekonomi, dan penindasan terhadap budaya lokal. Memori anti-Belanda mencatat perlawanan yang gigih melalui pemberontakan dan perang sebagai wujud kebebasan. Ide kemerdekaan tercermin dalam Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia tahun 1945, dan tokoh pembebas seperti Soekarno menjadi simbol perjuangan melawan kolonialisme. Memori anti-Belanda berperan sentral dalam pembentukan jati diri bangsa Indonesia, mengkonstruksi memori kolektif sebagai warisan budaya yang diwariskan secara turun-temurun. Analisis ini memperkaya pemahaman sejarah dan sosial, menunjukkan kompleksitas pengajaran sejarah, dan menekankan pentingnya pendekatan kontekstual. Eksplorasi analitis ini memandu refleksi atas pernyataan-pernyataan umum dan memberikan dasar untuk pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang betapa pentingnya kebebasan dalam perjuangan melawan kolonialisme. Artikel ini berkontribusi pada literatur penelitian pendidikan sejarah Indonesia. Hal ini membuka ruang untuk diskusi lebih lanjut mengenai dampak memori anti-Belanda terhadap identitas nasional dan kebebasan aktual di Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to investigate the impact of high school directors’ digital leadership practices on teachers’ self-efficacy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative survey design, utilizing an online questionnaire. The sample included 300 teachers from 30 high schools in Phnom Penh City. Data analysis was conducted with SPSS version 30, employing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods to answer the research questions. Main Findings: Findings show that both high school directors’ digital leadership practices and teachers’ self-efficacy, overall and by dimensions, were at high levels. A weak but significant positive correlation was found between digital leadership practices and teachers’ self-efficacy. The results also suggest that strengthening digital leadership can indirectly enhance teaching standards by boosting teachers’ self-efficacy. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study contributes new knowledge by empirically linking digital leadership practices of school directors with teachers’ self-efficacy in Cambodia’s secondary education sector. It advances existing research by highlighting the contextual role of digital leadership in improving teacher capacity, offering practical insights for policymakers and school leaders to develop targeted leadership and training programs.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to examine whether and to what extent Technostress Creators (TSC) and Technostress Inhibitors (TSI) predict the level of Transformational Leadership (TRL) among academic administrators at the Preah Sihamoniraja Buddhist University (PSBU) in Cambodia. Methodology: The study used a quantitative predictive correlational design with 123 PSBU academic administrators (e.g., rectors, deans, and department heads) selected through total population sampling. Data were collected using two instruments: the Technostress Creators and Inhibitors scale (TSC/TSI) and the Multiple-Factor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ 5X) for transformational leadership. The instruments were back-translated and validated for clarity and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with computer-based methods. Main Findings: The findings revealed that techno-insecurity (T-INS) was the only statistically significant predictor, negatively associated with TRL. Other TSC and TSI variables were not statistically significant predictors. Overall, regression models for TSC and TSI did not significantly explain variation in TRL levels. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is significant at the theoretical and practical levels. Theoretically, this study broadens the understanding of technostress and transformational leadership style. Practically, this study can be used to examine how academic administrators in higher education perceive technostress and its effects.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to investigate the current self-perceptions of public university staff in Cambodia regarding transformational leadership components, job satisfaction, and academic service quality. Methodology: This study employs the quantitative research design. A sample of 336 staff from three selected public universities located in Phnom Penh completed the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) to measure transformational leadership (TRL) dimensions, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) to measure the level of job satisfaction (JOS), the Service Quality (SERVPERF) to measure academic service quality (ASQ), and a demographic survey. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Main Findings: The study found that public university staff in Cambodia perceived TRL, JOS, and ASQ were at high levels. Ranking from the highest to the lowest mean scores were TRL, JOS, and ASQ, respectively. It was also revealed that there were favorable correlations between TRL dimensions, JOS, and ASQ. This indicates that the TRL dimensions exhibited stronger positive relationships. Every correlation was statistically significant at the 0.01 level. Novelty/Originality of this Study: Through this study, the significance of transformative leadership behavior and its connection to job satisfaction and academic service quality were better understood. The findings of this study offer empirical research on this subject in higher education, which advances the field of leadership studies
