Abstract

The lack of waste management awareness leading to waste accumulation has prompted elementary schools in Denpasar to implement a Hindu Eco-ethics-based Zero Waste program. Using a qualitative research method with a field study approach, this study aims to explore and analyze the program’s implementation, challenges, and its implications for strengthening student character. Primary data was collected through interviews and observations, supported by secondary data from literature reviews and documentation. Through qualitative data analysis using the Miles and Huberman approach and verified with triangulation techniques, the findings reveal that the Zero Waste program focuses on systematic efforts to enable school communities to manage their own waste. The challenges include awareness gaps, infrastructure limitations, and insufficient external support. Despite these obstacles, the program shows positive impacts on student character building. This research provides guidelines for waste management program development and serving as a reference for future environmental studies.

Abstract

The practice of Balinese Hinduism is increasingly challenged by the economic costs of ritual obligations, contributing to ritual-induced poverty and associated mental health burdens. Although previous studies have documented these problems, little attention has been paid to practical solutions. This qualitative study examines alternative forms of yadnya rituals in Bali that reduce both economic and psychological burdens. Data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving ritual practitioners, crematorium managers, griya priests, and religious leaders in Bangli, Denpasar, Gianyar, and Karangasem. The analysis identifies four adaptive practices: alternative ritual venues, crematorium-based ceremonies, digital technologies, and collective rituals. These innovations reduced ritual costs by approximately 90-97% while alleviating psychological distress associated with social expectations and financial pressure. This study contributes by demonstrating that theological reinterpretation by religious leaders enables communities to preserve ritual values while adapting to contemporary economic and mental health challenges.

Abstract

Indonesia’s English Language Education Departments have two priorities: developing students’ communicative competence and ensuring that students are able to graduate with a TOEFL test score. Such conditions create a form of ‘washback’ where testing priorities are at odds with the principles of communicative language teaching, shaping the approach to teaching. Negative washback has been documented; however, few qualitative studies examine the internal tensions, lived experiences, and emotional struggles of lecturers. This study examines how Indonesian ELED lecturers negotiate the conflict between their CLT philosophy and the demands of standardized testing. A narrative inquiry was conducted with seven lecturers from an Indonesian public university ELED. Data from semi-structured interviews were analyzed using a three-dimensional framework (temporality, sociality, place) to construct and interpret participants’ experiential narratives. Lecturers face a conflict in which they differentiate themselves as either a Teacher or a Test Preparer. To protect their pedagogical values, they practice ‘quiet resistance,’ whereby test practice is incorporated into communicative tasks. While this is a form of active resistance, the emotional costs are significant, leading to feelings of guilt, fatigue, and cynicism. The conflict is pedagogical, personal, and continual, leading to the fragmentation of professional identity and the erosion of psychosocial well-being. Lecturers show resilient agency through covert negotiation; yet, the misalignment between assessment policies and the communicative goals of teaching remains unaddressed, with implications for the sustainability of educators. This study recommends a re-evaluation of assessment policies to align with pedagogical values and lecturer well-being support within institutional frameworks.
