Abstract

Background. The integration of digital media in higher education has redefined how students engage with learning materials and construct reflective understanding. Podcasts, as a form of digital narrative, provide flexible, accessible, and multimodal learning experiences that foster critical thinking and personal connection with content. Purpose. This study aims to explore how educational podcasts enhance student engagement, promote reflective learning, and support independent knowledge construction in higher education.   Method. Using a qualitative mixed-method design, data were collected from 120 university students through surveys, focus group discussions, and reflective journals. Thematic and descriptive statistical analyses revealed that podcasts significantly increased learners’ motivation, concentration, and comprehension of complex concepts. Students reported that the narrative and conversational tone of podcasts stimulated reflective thinking and emotional engagement, making learning more meaningful and personalized. Results. The results also indicated that integrating podcasts into coursework encouraged continuous learning beyond the classroom and improved retention through self-paced listening.   Conclusion. The study concludes that podcasts function not only as instructional media but also as digital narratives that humanize learning by merging information delivery with reflection and storytelling.

Abstract

Background. The rapid deployment of smart city technologies in Jakarta has transformed urban governance, enabling data-driven decision-making and enhanced public services. However, this transformation also raises complex legal and ethical challenges related to data protection, surveillance, and citizens’ digital rights. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the existing legal frameworks that regulate smart city governance in Jakarta and evaluate their effectiveness in balancing technological innovation with the protection of citizen privacy.   Method. A qualitative legal research method was employed, combining normative juridical analysis with policy review and expert interviews to examine statutory instruments, regulatory gaps, and institutional practices. Results. The results reveal that while Indonesia’s data protection legislation provides a foundational basis for digital governance, inconsistencies in implementation and weak interagency coordination hinder comprehensive enforcement. The governance framework remains technologically progressive yet legally fragmented, lacking clear accountability mechanisms for data handling and public transparency. Conclusion. The study concludes that Jakarta’s smart city model requires a more integrated and adaptive legal architecture that aligns innovation objectives with citizen-centric principles. Strengthening regulatory harmonization and participatory governance is crucial to ensuring sustainable, ethical, and rights-based smart city development.

Abstract

Background. The rapid advancement of digital surveillance technologies in the age of big data has raised significant concerns regarding privacy rights and state power. As governments and corporations increasingly rely on digital surveillance to enhance security and gather data, the implications for personal privacy have become more complex. Purpose. The study aims to assess the adequacy of current legal frameworks in balancing the demands of security with the protection of individual freedoms.   Method. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving an analysis of international legal documents, case law, and expert interviews. Results. The findings indicate that existing laws, while addressing privacy to some extent, often lack enforceability and fail to effectively limit state surveillance powers. Conclusion. This study concludes that stronger, more adaptive legal frameworks are necessary to ensure privacy protection while accommodating legitimate state surveillance needs. The research contributes to the growing discourse on the intersection of law, technology, and human rights, offering recommendations for reforming legal safeguards in the digital age.

Abstract

Background. Growing adoption of cryptocurrencies has generated significant legal concerns related to asset classification, consumer protection, anti-money laundering compliance, taxation, financial stability, and cross-border enforcement. Regulatory responses vary considerably across jurisdictions, creating legal uncertainty and challenges for governments, businesses, and investors. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the principal legal challenges in cryptocurrency regulation and compare regulatory approaches adopted by different jurisdictions worldwide. Method. A qualitative comparative legal research design was employed, utilizing doctrinal analysis of legislation, regulatory frameworks, policy documents, judicial decisions, and institutional reports from selected jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union, China, Japan, Singapore, and El Salvador. Results. The findings reveal substantial regulatory fragmentation driven by differences in legal traditions, policy priorities, and institutional capacities. Legal classification ambiguity, anti-money laundering compliance, cross-border enforcement difficulties, consumer protection concerns, and adaptation to technological innovation emerged as the most significant regulatory challenges. Jurisdictions implementing balanced and adaptive regulatory frameworks demonstrated greater regulatory certainty and market stability than those adopting highly restrictive or excessively permissive approaches.   Conclusion. The study concludes that effective cryptocurrency governance requires regulatory clarity, risk-based supervision, and enhanced international cooperation to address the evolving complexities of digital asset markets while supporting innovation and financial integrity.

Abstract

Background. The integration of historical context in STEM education has gained increasing attention as a means to enhance student engagement and comprehension. STEM fields, traditionally perceived as highly technical, often lack connections to real-world applications and human stories. By incorporating historical narratives into STEM curricula, educators can humanize the subject matter and make scientific concepts more relatable. Purpose. This study explores the role of historical context in STEM education through a narrative inquiry approach. The research aims to investigate how educators incorporate history into their teaching practices and the impact this integration has on students’ learning experiences. Method. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing interviews and reflective journals from STEM educators and students. Results. The findings reveal that incorporating historical context significantly enhances student engagement, fosters a deeper understanding of scientific concepts, and increases the relevance of STEM subjects in students' lives. The study also highlights the challenges educators face in integrating history into their teaching, particularly in terms of curriculum constraints and the lack of resources.   Conclusion. The research concludes that historical context is a valuable tool in humanizing STEM education, making it more engaging and accessible. This approach promotes a more holistic understanding of science, emphasizing its societal relevance and the human dimensions behind scientific discoveries.

These platforms facilitate real-time, interactive content sharing, creating a dynamic environment for users to engage with various languages and cultures. Purpose. This research aims to investigate the impact of TikTok and Instagram on language acquisition and cultural understanding among users, particularly focusing on their educational potential.   Method. The study employs a qualitative research approach, using content analysis of popular educational videos on both platforms. In-depth interviews with users from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds were also conducted to explore personal experiences and learning outcomes. Results. The findings suggest that TikTok and Instagram significantly contribute to informal language learning, offering learners access to authentic content, native speakers, and cultural expressions. Additionally, the study highlights the role of visual and interactive elements in enhancing comprehension and retention. Conclusion. In conclusion, social media platforms, while not substitutes for formal education, serve as valuable supplemental tools for language and cultural learning.
