Abstract

The aim of this research project is to determine whether Indonesian high school students can understand both English and Chinese well through the Simultaneous English–Mandarin Learning (SEMLM) model. This need for two-language competence arises from a global context in which English is the dominant language of science and international communication; yet Mandarin is becoming more visible in Southeast Asia due to geographical changes driven by China’s economic and political awakening. Traditional language teaching in Indonesia has prioritised English, or else has various foreign languages simply following one another, leaving no chance for comprehensive bilingual development among our children. It was a mixed-method study conducted at three schools in Jakarta and Bandung. Data were collected using standardised assessments (Cambridge PET, HSK Level 2), classroom observation and interviews with teachers and students. The study found that simultaneous learners showed improvements in both languages that were more balanced and deeper than those of students following a sequence, with effect sizes of 0.83 for English and 0.76 for Mandarin. Qualitative data from students’ language strategies reveal that they actively applied methods across languages, such as comparing grammars between Mandarin and English, code-switching, or translanguaging, to understand a particular concept more deeply without their minds being overloaded. Supported by cross-linguistic transfer, cognitive interdependence theory, and research on optimal cognitive load management, the study's screen reveals that it is possible to integrate both languages into a single instructional model. The students may, in fact, fare better metalinguistically, staying alert and responding more quickly. The study also recommends long-term research, the adaptation of digital teaching materials, and broader teacher training to ensure the sustainability of this model across different educational contexts

Abstract

With the Pancasila concept as a semantic frame, this report conceives democracy as a discursive system created by language. The research uses an interdisciplinary approach, integrating political theory, linguistics, and cultural analysis. It applies a mixed-method design, combining critical discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, and a quantitative model. The dataset contains about 950,000 words of electoral discussions (2019–26). These include official statements, campaign narratives, news reports, and digital communication. The findings reveal a semantic shift from deliberative language grounded in Pancasila, such as musyawarah and mufakat, to a competitive, evaluative, identity-based rhetorical mode. Competitive lexical items account for 41.7% of all words in the data. The count of deliberative terms drops to 18.6%. There is a strong positive relationship between the intensity of data evaluation and engagement (r = 0.72, p < .001). Qualitative examination shows competing framing, symbolic simplification, and identity polarisation dominate. Elections become a rivalry rather than a collective decision-making process. This semantic change is verified against three provable sources. The first is the nationwide shift from Pancasila scholarship to digital communication, which has heightened its seriousness. The research concludes that the fragility of Indonesia's direct electoral system stems from semantic differences between Pancasila’s deliberative aspect and patterns of public language. To maintain democratic legitimacy, social harmony, and long-term viability, Indonesia's electoral democracy must be adjusted

Abstract

First-time voters are a strategic group in the sustainability of democracy because the first political experience gained in an election can shape their political orientation, behavior, and participation in the long term. However, electoral education has so far tended to be placed within a framework of technical socialization, such as voting procedures, introduction to election participants, and the exercise of voting rights. This approach has not fully explained how electoral education shapes citizens' capacity to understand power, political interests, elite competition, policy choices, and the political consequences of casting a vote. This article analyzes electoral education for first-time voters from a political science perspective using the concepts of political socialization, political efficacy, civic political education, and democratic participation. The study employs a qualitative approach through a literature review and conceptual analysis of political science literature on democracy, voter behavior, civic education, and political participation. The article argues that electoral education needs to shift from an electoral literacy model toward political literacy, namely the ability of first-time voters to understand elections as an arena for the distribution of power and the articulation of interests in a democracy. Such electoral education not only enhances technical voting skills but also builds critical awareness, political efficacy, the ability to evaluate candidates and programs, and resilience against money politics, disinformation, identity politics, and political manipulation. This article offers the conceptual framework of "electoral education–political literacy–political efficacy–democratic participation" as an approach to strengthening the quality of democracy through first-time voters.

Abstract

The development of democracy is not solely determined by electoral competition and institutional reform but also by the capacity of political institutions and citizens to transform institutional changes into meaningful democratic practices. This article examines the role of constitutional adjudication in Indonesia’s political development through the process of judicialization of politics, focusing on Constitutional Court Decision No. 60/PUU-XXII/2024 concerning regional head candidacy thresholds. This study employs a qualitative case study approach using document analysis and process tracing of constitutional provisions, electoral regulations, the Constitutional Court decision, institutional documents, and academic literature on political development, judicialization, political education, political literacy, and political efficacy. The findings demonstrate that the Constitutional Court decision transformed the electoral opportunity structure by altering the basis of candidacy requirements from legislative seat ownership toward electoral support. This transformation expanded political access and strengthened electoral inclusion. However, institutional openness does not automatically generate political development because citizens require adequate political capacity to understand, evaluate, and utilize newly created political opportunities. This article proposes the concept of judicialized political development, arguing that judicial intervention contributes to democratic development when institutional change is mediated through political education, political literacy, political efficacy, and democratic participation
