Abstract

Migrant students face unique challenges and obstacles in their educational journey, particularly in terms of social support and overall well-being. This study aims to examine the relationship between social support and the well-being of migrant students participating in the Affirmation of Education Program (ADik) in Papua and the 3T Regions. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from a sample of 34 active students through surveys and in-depth interviews. The study employed non-probability sampling, ensuring equal opportunity for 66 eligible students. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS, and the instrument's reliability and validity were established through pretesting. The results indicated that migrant students' well-being scores were particularly low in the area of mental well-being. Regression tests revealed that emotional support, network support, and informational support significantly influenced student well-being, while reward support and instrumental support showed no effect. Additionally, the network of religious groups and student diversity were found to play a role in determining student welfare. These findings underscore the importance of social support interventions targeting emotional support, networking, and information to enhance the well-being of migrant students in the ADik program in Papua and the 3T regions. Future programs and policies should prioritize the development of these aspects to improve the overall welfare of migrant students. This study contributes to our understanding of the challenges faced by migrant students and emphasizes the need for inclusive educational initiatives that address their social support needs and promote their well-being

Abstract

Technological advancements have rapidly impacted society, transforming the way gadgets are utilized for social interaction. Among students, the use of gadgets for socializing has been on the rise. However, differences in interaction patterns between gadget-mediated and face-to-face interactions have yet to be fully understood. Therefore, this study aims to investigate student social interaction activities through gadgets and in real-life settings. Additionally, the research explores social interaction patterns and experiences among students at SMA IT Plus Bina Bangsa Sejahtera Bogor, a high school that initially prohibited smartphone use during learning but later modified their policy prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing observation, documentation, and interviews with 30 randomly selected respondents. The study was conducted over a two-month period, from January to February 2023, at SMA IT Plus Bina Bangsa Sejahtera Bogor. The analysis reveals that gadget-mediated interaction patterns involve cooperation, accommodation, assimilation, acculturation, competition, and opposition. Prolonged gadget usage for extended hours was observed, emphasizing their significance in students' lives. Interpretation of gadget-mediated text messages sometimes leads to misunderstandings. However, communication differences between virtual and face-to-face interactions were minimal, as both modes effectively addressed problems. This research deepens our understanding of student social interaction dynamics and highlights the impact of gadget usage on interpersonal communication. It provides insights for schools, families, and policymakers to enhance positive gadget usage and improve the quality of student interactions.

Abstract

This study examines the lack of comprehension among students regarding subject matter that is highly relevant to their daily lives, emphasising the importance of their understanding. The encounter with diverse situations outside the classroom is a common experience for students; however, the insufficient availability of learning tools, unappealing media, and inadequate utilisation of school facilities contribute to their limited understanding. To address this issue, learning films are proposed as an alternative media to enhance student engagement, serve as effective learning materials, and make use of school resources such as projectors. The aim of this research is to create and evaluate the effectiveness of instructional video media with a diversity theme in improving learning outcomes among class III elementary school students. The design and development (D&D) method, specifically the PPE development model, was utilised in this study, involving three stages: planning, development, and evaluation. The input of media experts, material experts, and learning experts was sought to assess the feasibility of the learning videos. The results indicated that the learning films received a feasibility rating of 95% in the "extremely feasible" category, affirming their suitability for educational settings. Experts predicted that the implementation of learning films could significantly enhance student learning outcomes. The methodology encompassed data collection through the D&D method, including planning and conducting evaluations by experts, as well as the subsequent analysis and interpretation of the results. Ultimately, this study aims to improve the actual learning outcomes of class III elementary school students through the utilisation of instructional video media with a diversity theme.

Abstract

In Indonesia, educators have made notable strides in advancing their teaching methodologies. The research conducted was a quantitative study with a total of 118 university lecturers in East Java using a purposive sampling technique by distributing questionnaires using a Likert scale. SMART-PLS 3 is used as an analysis tool with PLS-SEM. This study found that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on disruptive innovation (T= 3.564, β= 0.285, P= 0.000). Transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on knowledge acquisition ability (T= 13.110, β= 0.645, P= 0.000). Transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on the ability to share knowledge (T= 11.940, β= 0.617, P= 0.000). The ability to acquire knowledge has a positive and significant effect on disruptive innovation (T= 2.481, β= 0.274, P= 0.011). The ability to share knowledge has a positive and significant effect on disruptive innovation (T= 2.994, β= 0.273, P= 0.003). Knowledge acquisition ability mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and disruptive innovation (T= 2.396, β= 0.177, P=0.177). Knowledge-sharing ability mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and disruptive innovation (T=3.052, β=0.169, P=0.002). These findings contribute to the theory of transformational leadership regarding the most effective leadership style in influencing the improvement of knowledge sharing ability, knowledge acquisition ability and disruptive innovation. Researchers found a lack of research linking transformational leadership and radical innovation. This is what encourages research to be carried out in the hope of novelty and the development of research on leadership theory.
