Abstract

Masyarakat Desa Tesbatan menghadapi tantangan rendahnya pemanfaatan potensi lokal sebagai sumber ekonomi baru, akibat keterbatasan pengetahuan dan keterampilan dalam pengelolaan wisata berbasis alam dan budaya. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas Kelompok Tani Hutan Sismeni dalam mengelola potensi lokal menuju pengembangan desa wisata berbasis partisipatif. Desa Tesbatan memiliki kekayaan alam dan budaya seperti air terjun, kawasan hutan, seni tradisional, kuliner lokal, dan kerajinan tangan yang belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan, diskusi kelompok terfokus (FGD), praktik lapangan, serta evaluasi pre- dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman peserta terhadap potensi wisata desa, yang ditunjukkan dengan kenaikan skor rata-rata dari 66,36 menjadi 91,82, atau sebesar 38,35%. Selain itu, kegiatan ini menghasilkan peta potensi awal, rencana aksi sederhana, dan dokumentasi visual yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk promosi digital desa wisata. Kesimpulannya, pendekatan partisipatif terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kapasitas dan keterlibatan masyarakat dalam pengembangan desa wisata yang berkelanjutan. Secara ilmiah dan sosial, kegiatan ini berkontribusi pada penguatan model pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis potensi lokal, serta membuka peluang riset lanjutan mengenai efektivitas promosi digital dan keberlanjutan kelembagaan desa wisata.

Abstract

Lecturers in vocational education institutions exhibit unique characteristics in delivering instruction and supporting student learning, particularly in practical classes that emphasize real-world experiences and industry-related skills. This study explores students’ perceptions of lecturers' attitudes and their influence on student engagement in the Forestry Department of the State Agricultural Polytechnic of Kupang. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight students and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that key aspects of lecturers' attitudes influencing student engagement include enthusiasm in teaching, fairness in treatment, and supportive responses to students’ questions and mistakes. While no distinctive attitudes specific to vocational lecturers were identified, the study found that students in East Nusa Tenggara possess unique cultural and linguistic traits, which shape their perceptions of lecturers' attitudes. These findings underscore the importance of enhancing the pedagogical competencies of vocational lecturers to create a participatory, equitable, and contextually relevant learning environment, particularly in regions with diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Abstract

This study investigates the English language needs, perceptions, and learning preferences of students in the Animal Feed Technology program at Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Kupang, located in Eastern Indonesia. Recognizing the region’s limited access to quality education and its impact on English proficiency, the research aims to answer three core questions: (1) What are the students’ English language needs and wants? (2) How do they perceive their academic and professional English requirements? (3) What are their preferred learning methods, materials, and classroom environments? Further, mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 97 student respondents who completed a structured questionnaire and seven students who participated in a focus group discussion (FGD). The findings reveal that most students self-identify as beginners in English, rarely use the language in academic contexts, and lack confidence in their communicative abilities. Despite these challenges, they are highly motivated by future career aspirations, identifying speaking, technical writing, and vocabulary development as crucial language skills. Students prefer multimedia and contextualized materials and favor collaborative and hands-on learning environments. The results highlight a significant gap between students’ current English proficiency and the demands of their academic and professional contexts. Based on these findings, the study recommends the development of an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) curriculum tailored to Animal Feed Technology, emphasizing functional communication, practical application, and learner-centered instruction. This research contributes to the literature on vocational ESP and provides actionable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to improve language education in underrepresented regions.

Abstract

The Tesbatan region, located in the Amarasi District of Kupang Regency, is rich in biodiversity and local cultural heritage, making it a potential hub for ecotourism development. This study aims to develop a comprehensive strategy for biodiversity conservation and creative economic ecotourism to promote sustainable growth in the region. The primary objective is to combine conservation efforts with local economic empowerment through creative industries such as handicrafts, traditional cuisine, and cultural performances. This research utilizes a systematic approach that includes field surveys, literature reviews, and the application of tools like MICMAC, MACTOR, and ISM for data analysis. Data was collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with local stakeholders. The study identifies key variables, influences, and stakeholders involved in the management of biodiversity and ecotourism. The findings suggest that integrating biodiversity conservation with ecotourism and creative economic activities can enhance both environmental sustainability and local community welfare. The proposed strategies involve strengthening local institutions, promoting participatory resource management, and developing integrated ecotourism attractions. In conclusion, this research provides a practical framework for managing Tesbatan’s natural and cultural assets sustainably, fostering both environmental protection and socio-economic development.
