Abstract

Digital literacy has become a key foundation for educational innovation and economic participation in the 21st century. As global economies transition toward digitalization, integrating digital competencies into senior high school curricula is increasingly viewed as essential for supporting Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8), which emphasizes decent work and inclusive economic growth. This study investigates the role of public policy in shaping digital literacy education in senior high schools through a comparative case study of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Canada. Employing qualitative policy analysis, the research explores how each country’s policy framework conceptualizes, implements, and evaluates digital literacy initiatives. The analysis focuses on curriculum integration, resource allocation, and stakeholder involvement, while also examining how these programs contribute to employability and economic resilience. The findings reveal notable differences in policy design and institutional commitment, with Canada demonstrating a more systematic integration of digital literacy, the Philippines emphasizing access and equity, and Indonesia facing challenges related to resource disparities and curriculum consistency. These variations illustrate how national contexts influence the inclusiveness and effectiveness of digital literacy policies. The study concludes with recommendations for policymakers to design context-sensitive, equitable, and future-oriented digital literacy strategies that align with labor market demands and promote sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital platforms in higher education has paved the way for Virtual Exchange (VE) as a viable alternative to traditional student mobility programs. VE leverages online technologies to connect university students from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds, enabling cross-cultural communication and global collaboration without the financial and geographical barriers associated with physical exchanges. Despite its potential, challenges remain regarding student engagement, technological limitations, and reduced immersion compared to face-to-face interactions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VE in fostering intercultural awareness and teamwork skills among university students. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys to measure intercultural competence and collaboration with qualitative interviews to explore students’ experiences in depth. The findings indicate that VE contributes significantly to the development of intercultural understanding, digital literacy, and teamwork, with students reporting enhanced awareness of cultural diversity and improved adaptability in online collaboration. Visual and statistical analyses highlight clear patterns in how VE facilitates skill development, while qualitative data emphasize both the benefits and obstacles students encounter, such as managing time zone differences and cultural nuances. The study concludes that VE represents an inclusive and scalable educational approach that complements traditional exchange programs, offering broader access to global learning opportunities while addressing issues of equity and accessibility. However, its limitations suggest that VE should be integrated strategically, potentially through hybrid models that balance virtual and physical mobility to maximize its impact.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of restorative and civil governance models in resolving environmental disputes at the local government level. As environmental conflicts become more complex and widespread, traditional legal approaches often fail to provide quick, sustainable solutions. Restorative governance models, which prioritize community involvement, collaboration, and the restoration of relationships, offer a promising alternative to adversarial legal proceedings. The research combines policy analysis and semi-structured interviews with local government officials, mediators, and community representatives to assess the implementation and outcomes of these models in real-world contexts. Findings indicate that restorative practices, when integrated with civil governance mechanisms, significantly reduce dispute resolution times (a 40% improvement) and enhance community satisfaction compared to traditional litigation processes. These models foster a more inclusive and cooperative environment, ensuring that all stakeholders, including local communities, are actively involved in decision-making processes. However, challenges such as legal framework rigidity, political pressures, and resource limitations still impede the widespread adoption of restorative practices. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating restorative approaches into local environmental policies, advocating for legal reforms and enhanced resource allocation to support these methods. Limitations of the study include its regional focus and the need for broader, longitudinal research to assess the scalability of restorative and civil governance models across different geographic contexts and environmental issues.
