Abstract

The Community Partnership Program (PKM), entitled Increasing Environmental Awareness and School Entrepreneurship through Smart Farming and Solar-Based Waste Processing, aimed to enhance environmental awareness and strengthen school entrepreneurship in Pangkajene Kepulauan Regency, Indonesia. The program engaged teachers and students through three integrated innovations: (1) a solar-powered aquaponics smart farming system, (2) an educational waste-processing unit (eco-station), and (3) a mini solar power plant (PLTS). These innovations created a contextual and sustainable learning ecosystem while addressing limited knowledge of waste management, renewable energy, and entrepreneurship. The program resulted in a moderate improvement in teachers’ understanding (N-Gain >= 0.5), the establishment of a school waste-processing unit, and the implementation of contextual science lesson plans by more than 70% of teachers. In addition, the school produces 5–6 kg of vegetables and catfish weekly, approximately 105 kg of compost within six months, and at least two value-added products. More than 30 students actively participated in production and distribution activities, fostering entrepreneurial and environmental competencies. Overall, the program strengthened school capacity and contributed to SDGs 4 (Quality Education), 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and 13 (Climate Action)

Abstract

The deep learning approach in education emphasizes the importance of comprehensive conceptual understanding through the active engagement of students in the learning process. This approach is not only oriented toward mastering subject matter but also toward developing critical and reflective thinking skills, as well as the ability to connect knowledge with real-life experiences. However, in practice, the implementation of learning that promotes deep understanding still faces several challenges, such as the dominance of teacher-centered instruction and the limited use of learning strategies that encourage active student participation. This study aims to analyze the optimization of deep learning implementation in the learning process at SDN Pampang, Makassar City. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. The research informants consisted of the school principal, six classroom teachers, and eighteen students from grades IV, V, and VI. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using an interactive analysis model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The results indicate that the implementation of deep learning at SDN Pampang is carried out through the integration of three main dimensions: meaningful learning, mindful learning, and joyful learning. Teachers connect learning materials with students’ real-life experiences to create more contextual learning. In addition, teachers encourage students to reflect on their learning processes and create an active and enjoyable learning environment. This implementation has been shown to increase student engagement in the learning process and help them understand concepts more deeply. Therefore, optimizing deep learning can be an effective strategy for improving the quality of learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has influenced learning behavior in higher education, particularly in smartphone usage and reading activities. This study aimed to explore English Education students’ experiences and perceptions of smartphone usage and reading interest outside classroom hours at Bosowa University. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design involving 10 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and follow-up interviews and were analyzed thematically through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing based on Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s framework. The findings revealed that most participants spent more time using smartphones for entertainment purposes such as social media, short videos, and online communication than for academic reading activities. Participants also preferred instant and visually attractive digital content because it was perceived as more practical and enjoyable than reading lengthy academic texts. Excessive smartphone usage was perceived to contribute to students’ reading habits, concentration, time management, and motivation to engage in literacy activities outside classroom hours. In addition, limited literacy support within students’ social environments contributed to low reading interest. The study concludes that excessive smartphone usage for entertainment purposes may contribute to lower reading engagement and weaker academic literacy habits. Therefore, balanced smartphone usage and stronger literacy support are needed to encourage more productive reading activities outside classroom learning.

Abstract

Elementary school learning is still predominantly oriented toward academic achievement and content mastery, providing limited opportunities for students to experience meaningful, enjoyable, and conscious learning. This condition reflects a gap between the principles of deep learning, which emphasize cognitive, emotional, and reflective engagement, and classroom practices that remain largely teacher-centered and outcome-oriented. This study aims to analyze and explore the implementation of meaningful, enjoyable, and conscious learning from the perspectives of elementary school teachers and students as essential dimensions of deep learning. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed involving teachers and students from seven elementary schools. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that teachers implemented meaningful learning by connecting lessons with students’ real-life experiences, enjoyable learning through interactive and creative activities, and conscious learning through reflective practices that foster self-awareness and active participation. These integrated dimensions create a more engaging and holistic learning environment. This study concludes that meaningful, enjoyable, and conscious learning provides a strong pedagogical foundation for implementing deep learning and offers practical guidance for designing student-centered learning environments in elementary education.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the phenomenon of declining politeness among students in the digital era, which is reflected in the gradual disappearance of the “Tabe” cultural practice within the school environment. The main problem identified at UPT SPF SDN Pampang is the low level of students’ ethics, both in behavior and speech, caused by the influence of social media content and the lack of filtering toward external cultures. This study aimed to formulate concrete and systematic strategies to revitalize the culture of Tabe’ through the perspective of Ki Hadjar Dewantara’s educational philosophy in order to restore students’ character and moral values. The methodology employed in this study was qualitative research with a phenomenological approach to explore more deeply the authentic experiences of teachers regarding changes in students’ behavior. The research subjects were selected through purposive sampling, namely classroom teachers who interact daily with students and thoroughly understand the students’ character conditions at school. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participatory observations of students’ spontaneous behavior, and documentation of habituation activities. The findings revealed that the consistency level of students in practicing the Tabe’ culture ranged only from 10% to 40%. Efforts to revitalize this culture were carried out by providing direct role models (Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha), in which teachers consistently used expressions such as “Please,” “Sorry,” “Thank You,” and “Excuse Me.” In addition, the use of video and audio technology to introduce local songs containing moral messages, as well as collaboration between schools and parents, became key factors in guiding children according to their natural development and character. Therefore, it can be concluded that the revitalization of local wisdom integrated with the philosophy of national education can serve as an effective moral safeguard for students amid the challenges of social change and the digital era. Keywords: Ki Hadjar Dewantara, character education, politeness, elementary education, Tabe’ culture.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has brought significant changes to the field of education, particularly in students' learning patterns in the digital era. Instagram and TikTok, which were initially known as entertainment platforms, are now increasingly being utilized as learning support media. This study aims to examine how students use Instagram and TikTok as learning strategies and as media for learning reflection in higher education. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a purposive sampling technique. The research subjects consisted of 50 active students from several universities in South Sulawesi, particularly in the cities of Makassar, Bone, and Barru, who belong to the digital native generation. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and short interviews. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students utilize Instagram and TikTok not only as entertainment platforms but also as alternative learning media. TikTok is used to access tutorial videos, concise explanations of learning materials, and practical study tips that are easy to understand. Meanwhile, Instagram is utilized through micro-blogging features such as Instagram Stories to share learning progress, learning reflections, and academic interactions. The use of these platforms has positive impacts, including increased learning motivation, easier access to information, enhanced student creativity, and more interactive learning experiences. This study demonstrates that social media has substantial potential as a supporting learning medium in the digital era, particularly for digital native generations within higher education environments.

Abstract

Sentence writing provides insight into young EFL learners’ developing control of grammar, vocabulary, syntax, and writing conventions. This study investigated recurring sentence-writing patterns and linguistic challenges among Grade Six EFL learners in one Indonesian primary school. Using a qualitative descriptive document-analysis design, 28 students each produced five sentences through a picture-based task, yielding 140 sentence units. Data were analyzed through sentence-level qualitative content coding supported by descriptive frequencies and percentages. The findings showed that 36.4% of the sentences were complete without major structural problems, while 50.0% were complete but problematic. Non-standard or unidentifiable constructions accounted for 37.1% of the data, whereas S+V+C was the most frequent recognizable pattern at 33.6%. Recurrent challenges included vocabulary choice, word order, verb form and use, article or determiner use, capitalization, and subject–verb agreement. These context-specific findings may help primary-school English teachers identify sentence-level areas requiring instructional attention. However, the findings are limited to one class, one school, and one picture-based task.

Abstract

This study looks at how students view tourist advertising movies as genuine resources, the advantages and difficulties they encountered, and their recommendations for classroom integration. Fifty English for Tourism students at Bosowa University in Gowa, South Sulawesi, participated in a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. Three focus groups, semi-structured interviews, and a 25-item questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model were used to gather data. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and Pearson correlation were used to evaluate quantitative data; reflexive thematic analysis was used to assess qualitative data. The results revealed a preponderance of favorable opinions. On a five-point scale, Attitude Toward Videos had the highest mean score of 4.28, while Perceived Usefulness received a mean score of 4.12. While technological access obstacles had a negative correlation with video acceptance (β = −0.38, p < 0.01), perceived usefulness had a substantial correlation with attitude toward videos (r = 0.72, p < 0.001). Three themes emerged from the qualitative analysis: curriculum optimization, scaffolded challenges, and transformative engagement. Although there were still pedagogical and technological issues, students appreciated the videos' realistic tourism contexts. According to the study's findings, promotional videos for travel are seen favorably as genuine resources for English for Tourism classes.
