Abstract

Background. Despite Japan’s global reputation for technological innovation, female representation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields remains disproportionately low. Cultural expectations, gender norms, and limited role models contribute to the underrepresentation of young women in STEM pathways. Purpose. This study explores how digital storytelling can serve as a transformative pedagogical tool to support the development of STEM identity among female high school students in Japan. Method. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, the study engaged 15 female students aged 16–18 from three urban high schools. Participants created and reflected on personal digital stories that connected their lived experiences with STEM-related aspirations, interests, or challenges. Results. Data were collected through digital artifacts, in-depth interviews, and reflective journals, then analyzed thematically. Findings reveal that digital storytelling enabled participants to articulate their evolving sense of agency, challenge internalized gender stereotypes, and envision themselves in future STEM careers.  The process fostered increased confidence, self-recognition as potential STEM contributors, and a sense of belonging in scientific discourse. Conclusion. This study demonstrates the potential of narrative-based, multimodal learning tools in reshaping STEM identity formation for underrepresented groups. It contributes to feminist pedagogy and STEM education research through the intersection of narrative, identity, and digital media.

Abstract

Background. The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) into history education holds the potential to enhance student engagement and comprehension by providing immersive, interactive learning experiences. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining pre- and post-tests with interviews and focus groups. The findings suggest that AR can serve as a transformative tool in history education, bridging the gap between abstract content and lived experience.Purpose. This study investigated the effectiveness of AR-enhanced history lessons in Japanese high schools. A total of 200 students aged 15–18 participated in a quasi-experimental study, with one group receiving AR-based instruction and a control group continuing traditional methods. Method. Quantitative results showed a 25% improvement in historical knowledge among AR users versus 5% in the control group (p < 0.001). Qualitative feedback indicated higher engagement, improved retention, and greater enthusiasm toward history learning. Result. The findings indicate a significant increase in student engagement and understanding of historical events, with 85% of students reporting improved retention and a deeper understanding of history. Teachers noted a positive shift in students’ enthusiasm for learning history.Conclud. AR technology enhances history education by providing immersive and interactive learning experiences, leading to greater student engagement and better knowledge retention.

Abstract

This study explores the enduring and evolving influence of Sufism on Indonesian Islamic spirituality, examining its contemporary reinterpretation amidst modern challenges. Indonesian Islam has historically embraced mystical traditions, fostering a unique spiritual landscape distinct from more legalistic or fundamentalist expressions. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for appreciating the breadth of Islamic practice in the archipelago. The research aims to analyze how Sufi practices and philosophies are adapted and re-articulated by contemporary Indonesian Muslims, identifying the motivations behind this reinterpretation and its impact on individual and communal spirituality. Employing a qualitative research design, this study utilizes in-depth interviews with 25 Sufi practitioners, scholars, and community leaders across Java and Sumatra. Observational data from Sufi tariqa gatherings and contemporary spiritual forums further enriched the findings. Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring patterns and interpretations. Results indicate a significant re-engagement with Sufism, driven by a search for inner peace, spiritual authenticity, and a moderate alternative to rigid interpretations of Islam. The study found that Sufism continues to be a vital source of spiritual resilience and ethical guidance. In conclusion, Sufism remains a powerful force in Indonesian Islamic spirituality, offering a dynamic and adaptable framework for contemporary religious life. Its reinterpretation underscores its enduring relevance in cultivating a compassionate and tolerant Muslim identity.

Abstract

Quantum simulation of complex molecular dynamics using quantum annealing has great potential to solve complex and complex molecular simulation problems. Quantum annealing, which optimizes the search for solutions in the energy space by utilizing quantum phenomena, offers advantages in speeding up the simulation process compared to classical methods. This study aims to explore the use of quantum annealing in complex molecular simulations, focusing on its effectiveness in finding molecular configurations with minimum energy. The method used involves simulation experiments using quantum annealing hardware and comparing the results with classical simulations. The results show that quantum annealing can improve computational time efficiency and produce more accurate solutions on large molecules with complex interactions. Although there are some limitations of current quantum hardware, the results of this study show the great potential for the use of quantum annealing in molecular dynamics simulations. Further research needs to be focused on improving quantum hardware and developing more advanced algorithms to support more complex molecular simulations.

Abstract

Escalating deforestation and the shortcomings of conventional, state-centric forest management paradigms necessitate the exploration of alternative governance models. Hutan Adat (Indigenous Forests), managed through customary laws, represent a long-standing yet frequently overlooked approach to ecological stewardship. This research aims to analyze the principles and practices of Hutan Adat management by the Dayak community in Borneo, evaluating its effectiveness and potential as a replicable model for sustainable forest governance. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this study utilizes ethnographic observation, in-depth interviews with community elders, and participatory mapping. The findings reveal a sophisticated governance system rooted in local wisdom, spiritual values, and collectively enforced customary laws (hukum adat). This system effectively regulates resource extraction, conserves biodiversity, and ensures equitable benefit sharing, resulting in lower deforestation rates and greater ecological integrity compared to adjacent state-managed areas. The study concludes that the Dayak Hutan Adat is a robust and effective model of sustainable forest governance. Its formal recognition and integration into national policy frameworks are crucial for achieving conservation goals while upholding indigenous rights and promoting social justice.
