Abstract

Stagnation in agriculture is the principal explanation for poor economic performance in many developing economies of the world, and rising agricultural productivity is the core reason for successful industrialization. The study analyzed the contribution of agricultural subsector to the economic development of Nigeria. Secondary data were sourced from various issues of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) annual reports and statement of account, Statistical Bulletin between 1981 – 2020. The study employed a unit root test for stationarity, cointegration test of long-run relationship to avoid spurious regression, Ordinary Least Square to investigate the impact of all the independent variables (Agricultural subsectors) on the dependent variable (GDP). The Granger causality test was used to test the causal relationship between the time series data. The null hypothesis for the unit root and cointegration were rejected. The result of the regression analysis showed a good fit with high R2, and some of the variables were significant. Some of the variables have unidirectional causality between each other, but there is no causal relationship between some of them. The study recommends that forest resources should be better harnessed to contribute more to the nation's gross domestic product. Also, the use of improved livestock breeds should be encouraged to improve their output further.

Abstract

This study examines the significance of the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (ACGS) funds in improving agricultural performance in Nigeria. The study uses descriptive statistics and trend analysis to analyze the relationship between ACGS funds and agricultural output in Nigeria, assessing its impact on crop production, livestock, and fishery sectors. The study utilized a quantitative research design to investigate the effect of agricultural credit guarantee scheme funds on agrarian performance in Nigeria. Time series data spanning a period of 41 years (1981-2021) was collected from secondary sources, specifically the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). The data collected included variables such as gross domestic product (GDP) as a proxy for agricultural performance and the total volume and number of loans issued for cash crops, food crops, and mixed farming as proxies for ACGSF disbursements. This study's findings revealed that Nigeria's Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund (ACGSF) has had a significant impact on the agriculture sector, particularly in livestock, crops, and fisheries. The fund experienced a low level of funding before 1999 but increased significantly after the advent of democracy, focusing on agriculture. Livestock and crop production had the highest loan guarantee funding in 2014, while fisheries peaked in 2009. Using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller approach, all variables were found to be stationary at the levels, and some were found to be stationary at the first difference. None of the variables were stationary at the second difference. The estimated F-ratios for Livestock, Crop, and Fishery were 49.71, 190.38, and 122.45, respectively, indicating that the agricultural credit guarantee significantly influences all sectors' output. The adjusted R2 values for Livestock, Crop, and Fishery were 82.97%, 94.67%, and 75.69%, respectively, indicating a good fit for the regression models. The regression results reveal a positive relationship between the GDP of Livestock and cattle and other livestock, with other livestock being significant at the 1% level. The GDP of Fishery also shows a positive significant relationship with ACGSF Fishery. The recommendation is to increase investment in livestock, crop, and fishery sectors to diversify the economy, improve GDP, and reduce dependency on other countries. Loans should be available to qualified individuals as soon as due by participating banks, and more funds should be made available to cash crops and other sectors to earn more foreign exchange. Increased publicity about the scheme is recommended.

Abstract

Nature-based education offers a transformative approach to sustainable education by integrating natural environments and sustainability principles into active learning experiences. In Indonesia, Saga Lifeschool, along with over 200 nature-based schools under Jaringan Sekolah Alam Nusantara (JSAN), exemplifies this model through its "Sekolah Alam Way" (SA WAY) system. This system emphasizes holistic education aligned with sustainable development goals and the core values of Pancasila, including environmental stewardship, community spirit, and global diversity appreciation. This research aims to assess the quality improvement needs in SA WAY’s implementation of nature-based education, focusing on enhancing educational practices that promote academic, ethical, social, and environmental growth. The study applies theories such as experiential learning, place-based education, and embodied cognition to evaluate how hands-on activities—such as outdoor projects, environmental conservation, and community engagement—support cognitive, ethical, and social development. Findings indicate that while SA WAY effectively instills these values, improvements in resources, teacher training, and outdoor learning infrastructure are needed to further enhance educational quality and sustainability. The research highlights the importance of continuous development in these areas to ensure the long-term success of nature-based education and its alignment with sustainable practices.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of empowerment modules into internship programs at PKBM Alam Jingga, an Indonesian institution dedicated to holistic education through nature-based learning. The modules aim to enhance students' personal development by cultivating critical thinking, creativity, and global citizenship skills. Additionally, the research focuses on how these modules align with the Pancasila student profile, promoting values such as faith, noble character, and community spirit—essential for nurturing responsible and culturally aware individuals. Utilizing a document analysis method, feedback from students, instructors, and supervisors was evaluated through models like Kirkpatrick's and CIPP to assess the program's effectiveness. The findings demonstrate that the empowerment modules significantly contribute to students' academic and personal growth, fostering deeper engagement with their education and societal roles. This study underscores the importance of refining internship practices to address the evolving demands of the workforce while maintaining alignment with the core values of Pancasila. The integrated approach offers a framework for developing well-rounded individuals, equipped for both career success and meaningful contributions to society.

Abstract

This study explores the dynamics of parent-school collaboration in the design of online curricula for non-formal education institutions in East Java Province, Indonesia. Against the backdrop of increasing reliance on digital learning platforms, particularly within community-based educational centers like PKBM, the research addresses a critical gap in understanding how parental involvement can enhance the relevance, accessibility, and effectiveness of online learning. Guided by theories on parenting, educational design, and cultural contextualization, the study adopts a qualitative design-based research approach. Using purposive sampling, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis involving educators, parents, and administrators from selected non-formal schools. Thematic analysis revealed several key findings: (1) parent-school collaboration significantly improves curriculum contextualization by incorporating cultural and familial values; (2) communication channels and engagement strategies require structured facilitation to be effective; and (3) such collaboration positively impacts student engagement and learning outcomes. The study concludes that meaningful stakeholder engagement, especially with parents, is essential for tailoring online curricula in non-formal settings, thereby offering a sustainable model for inclusive education across diverse communities in Indonesia.
