Abstract

This edition of AJCE exemplifies how cross-cultural collaborations and hands-on learning and participation can foster a better and more meaningful process of community engagement. The cross-cultural collaborations enable the co-production of knowledge and creativity between stakeholders from different cultures, in addition to creating cultural competence where people from different realities treat and support others with sensitivity and respect. The hands-on learning process encourages a deeper engagement where stakeholders are more responsive to the reality of the situation they are in and therefore creates better agility for adaptations towards various issues or adoptions of new skills. By focusing on cross-cultural collaborations and hands-on learning, we aim to present how the articles in this issue promote a future agenda of community engagements that are more globalised, culturally competent, and attuned to the realities. Through such an agenda, these studies broaden the discourse on community engagement towards a more equitable and active participation across societies.

Abstract

This study examines the engagement process of mathematics teachers in improving their pedagogical competence by integrating technology into contextual learning. The integration of technology into the contextual teaching and learning (CTL) approach offers significant opportunities to enhance teacher professionalism. Studies of CTL have shown that such an approach enriches pedagogical competence, strengthens content mastery, and encourages teachers to adapt to digital innovations, develop reflective and analytical practices, and pursue continuous improvement in mathematics teaching. However, many teachers still experience gaps in this technology, particularly in digital literacy, resistance to change, and limited access to adequate facilities and training. This study engaged a community of senior high school mathematics teachers in Bandung, Indonesia, and 56 participants joined the project. The project involved the design and implementation of a digital technology training program to develop learning materials, including teaching modules, electronic learning resources, electronic worksheets (kinesthetic, visual, and auditory), activities for solving non-routine mathematics problems, peer-teaching simulations, and reflective practice. Based on questionnaire, interview, and documentation results, the findings indicate a significant improvement in CTL-based mathematics instruction through technology integration. The evaluation criteria were rated as very good, particularly in the use of AI, AR, ThingLink, and GeoGebra. As a result, this community engagement initiative facilitated the effective implementation of technology-based CTL in enhancing the quality of classroom interaction, conceptual presentation, and student learning motivation, while simultaneously strengthening teachers’ professionalism and their ability to evaluate and refine their teaching practice.

Abstract

The disruptive situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have intensified economic challenges in rural areas, underscoring the urgency of building rural economic resilience. This study explores a model for revitalizing the local economy in Puhsarang Village in East Java, Indonesia. The project was developed as a community service collaboration among universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, programming a digital transformation for a tourism-based context. Seventeen micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) participated in the community service project, selected through purposive sampling in collaboration with the local church. Entrepreneurs, ranging from religious souvenir shops to food vendors, benefited from a tailored program in product development and digital marketing. The impact of the service-learning was studied by employing a mixed-methods approach. The data was collected through qualitative interviews and questionnaires and analyzed quantitatively as a post-program evaluation. Key findings highlight the potential of semi-outdoor diners, woodcraft workshops, and religious tourism products to expand market reach via online platforms. The collaboration community program engaged seven lecturers and 27 students to apply academic knowledge and intercultural skills in real-world settings, with above-average evaluation scores reflecting its impact. Results show increased sales and improved business capacity among participants, as perceived benefits and experiential outcomes of the program. This initiative demonstrates how cross-cultural collaboration in community service, when aligned with digital transformation strategies, can foster sustainable and inclusive growth, offering practical insights for strengthening rural economies in line with the SDGs.

Abstract

Being community responsive in such a multicultural context requires an intercultural approach to bridge the mutual understanding and collaboration. There is a surge to introduce intercultural learning to students within their role as a global community. This study analyzes the 2023 International Architecture Workshop (IAW) taking place in Bali, a collaboration among the University of Ulsan, Universitas Gunadarma, and Parahyangan Catholic University, through the lens of intercultural learning. Due to an increasing demand for intercultural competence, transnational collaboration, and community-responsive design literacy, this workshop provides important capacities in architectural education. This workshop shows how a situated pedagogy can reconfigure students’ design processes, highlighting cross-cultural and community-embedded encounters. Drawing on participant observation, field documentation, informal interviews, and design analysis, the study demonstrates how communication across linguistic and cultural differences operated as a multi-channel problem-solving activity. The immersive experiences of participants in the village have foregrounded local knowledge as relational, performative, and ecologically situated, disrupting abstract and studio-bound design habits. The workshop further revealed how heterogeneous institutional cultures crystallized into distributed expertise, producing hybrid and collective strategies through iterative negotiation rather than individual authorship. The findings of this study show that multi-channel communication practices enabled intercultural comprehension, distributed expertise generated hybrid forms of collective authorship, and community immersion sharpened sensitivity to cultural, ecological, and social conditions. These findings affirm how the pedagogical value can be situated, encouraging community-engaged learning. The study positions the IAW as a transferable model for intercultural and community-responsive architectural education within the ASEAN region.

Abstract

This paper examines the concept of urban farming in residential areas with limited space to provide food security while improving the environment. The practice of cultivating food crops, vegetables, fruits, or medicinal plants in small spaces such as yards, rooftops, balconies, walls, terraces, or indoor spaces is a form of domestic adaptation with significant ecological and social impacts in urban areas. This study is part of a community service program that aims to maximize limited space for food production and green space. Three phases of the activity methodology are involved in this program, including collecting spatial data to identify potential areas for urban farming, developing a design concept for a limited-land development that is based on food security, and conducting community workshops aimed at building awareness and collective participation in sustainable environmental management. The approach used in this program allows the community to actively participate in both design and implementation processes. The result of the activities showed how urban farming practices facilitate the development of community-based collective mechanisms, including the recycling of used objects as planting media and design elements. It provides a model for optimizing limited land that can be adapted to urban residential contexts. This urban farming model practice expands the discussion of participatory-based community engagement through collective mechanisms to formulate space-optimization strategies. Thus, urban farming on limited space is both a strategy for providing micronutrients and a spatial design strategy for enhancing environmental quality and social sustainability within densely populated urban areas.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of a participatory model for developing a paper waste recycling system and integrating it within architectural design education. In response to the high level of paper waste inherent in design studio learning, the initiative treats waste not as a final output but as reusable material for further resources. A student-led, participatory model was established to design and implement a paper waste recycling system, including the establishment of a sorting hub in the studio environment, regular waste tracking, and hands-on workshops on various forms of paper reuse and recycling. The process evolved through regular feedback, peer coordination, and internal reflection, eventually forming a self-sustaining initiative. Evaluation methods included surveys, interviews, and visual documentation throughout the process. Framing design learning as both a material and behavioral practice, this study contributes a model with potential replication for embedding circular practices into higher education, particularly in resource-intensive creative disciplines.

Abstract

One of the tenets of higher education is the extension of the community that responds to the social and cultural surroundings, including the Indigenous Peoples (IP) and their rights to education. A supportive and relevant education with respect to cultural identity becomes important. This study aims to assess a community extension initiative at its preliminary stage in developing IPEd in the Philippines based on the teachers’ and learners’ awareness level of such programs. The study was conducted in two IPEd schools, Manirub Integrated School and Ugis Elementary School, at Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat. The study examined the teachers’ and learners’ awareness level related to the IPEd, including its association with the learners’ Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ), providing a basis for developing culture-based education pedagogy. The research employed statistical curve regression analysis using SPSS software. The study identifies several challenges in implementing IPEd that are related to teaching materials and the integration of cultural values and beliefs. Furthermore, there is a need to consider the IP learners' intellectual and emotional readiness, which is influential for responding to learning programs. The result also shows that the IPEd learners of both schools have a positive response to the IPEd teachers after undergoing training for a culture-responsive teaching pedagogy. Such a community extension initiative becomes crucial to assist teachers in developing the culture-based education programs for preparing the IP learners to have a future success in learning and in maintaining their cultural identity as an indigenous people from Teduray or Manobo Dulangan.
