Abstract

Language politeness plays a crucial role in maintaining harmony and effectiveness of communication, especially for elementary school students in cultural border areas. This study aims to understand the application of language politeness in the elementary education environment in the Java-Sunda border area. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive phenomenological approach to describe the phenomenon of language politeness in learning in grade 5 of SD Negeri Waringinsari and SD Negeri Bener. Data were collected through observation and recording of oral speech between students and teachers during the learning process, which were then analyzed using interactive data analysis techniques. The results showed that the principles of language politeness, formulated by Geoffrey Leech, were well applied by teachers and students in classroom interactions. Applying the principles of proverbs, Wisdom, Generosity, Respect, Simplicity, Agreement, and Sympathy proved effective in creating an inclusive and harmonious learning environment. In addition, the use of mixed language between Indonesian and local languages in classroom communication reflects adaptation to the local cultural context, which helps strengthen the emotional connection between teachers and students. Language politeness is important to maintain effective communication, build positive social relationships, and prevent conflicts that may arise due to cultural differences.

Abstract

Numerous methodologies have been employed to enhance competencies in climate change education. However, applying and systematically evaluating field trips as a pedagogical approach in climate change education must be explored. It is essential to explore pre-service teachers' perceptions regarding the impacts of their participation in field trips. This study evaluated the significant changes observed in pre-service teachers following field-trip-based learning. The field trip program was evaluated using the Most Significant Change (MSC) evaluation model. The results identified several themes of substantial changes in pre-service teachers. This study concludes that field trip-based learning facilitates positive transformations in pre-service teachers, as evidenced by their favorable responses following the field trip and their reflective insights on the conceptual understanding of climate change. This research contributes to scientific understanding by demonstrating that sea level rise, which has led to the submergence of villages along the northern coast of Java, serves as a valuable contextual framework for field trips to study the impacts of climate change. In recognition of the limitations, future research should broaden its scope to include field trip activities in diverse geographical settings.

Abstract

This study examines cultural representations in two English books used by pesantren educational institutions, the English Conversation Club (ECC) and the English Learners Association (ELA) at Pesantren Darussalam Blokagung. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through content analysis and interviews. Informant sources include textbook writers and English course instructors. In contrast, the data analysis used Miles and Huberman's data reduction, data analysis, and inference simulation techniques. The results showed that the textbook contained four cultural values: tolerance, equality, justice, and democracy. The value of tolerance is shown in the interaction between people from different cultures. The value of equality is shown in the inclusive delivery of materials. Both informative texts, conversations, and opinion writing exercises demonstrate fairness, and texts that emphasize balance in decision-making demonstrate a democratic approach. Textbooks do two things: they help students learn the language and 3protect the culture of boarding schools around the world. To help students become confident and culturally sensitive communicators in the era of globalization, this study suggests the creation of relevant teaching materials.

Abstract

Community empowerment plays a crucial role in sustainable and inclusive national development. This study compares community empowerment strategies in Indonesia and Malaysia, with a focus on the impacts of decentralized and centralized approaches. The objective is to analyze how these approaches influence community participation, poverty alleviation, and infrastructure development. Employing a qualitative literature review methodology, data were collected from key government programs, such as Indonesia's National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM) and Village Fund (Dana Desa), as well as Malaysia's Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) and Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA). Findings indicate that Indonesia's decentralized model promotes local innovation and ownership, aligning development with the specific needs of individual communities. Conversely, Malaysia's centralized model ensures efficiency and uniformity but limits local involvement. The study concludes that both approaches have strengths and weaknesses: decentralization enhances community participation, while centralization ensures coordination and efficiency. This research contributes to the literature by proposing a hybrid framework that integrates both approaches, offering a comprehensive model for advancing community empowerment initiatives in diverse socio-economic contexts, particularly in developing countries.

Abstract

This study examines the traditional Islamic education system in Kerinci, Sumatra, a region that has remained relatively overlooked in Indonesian Islamic education scholarship compared to areas such as Java, Aceh, and West Sumatra. Despite Islam's profound influence on the culture and social structure of Kerinci society, historical documentation of its educational practices remains limited. This research aims to reconstruct the history of traditional Islamic education in Kerinci during the 18th and 19th centuries, analyze its curriculum, and explore the integrative role of local customs (adat) in its development. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, this study combines historical, philological, and anthropological methods to examine the topic. Primary data were collected through the examination of Malay-Arabic manuscripts, oral traditions, and in-depth interviews with religious and customary leaders. Secondary sources include colonial archives and previous studies. The analysis follows a heuristic approach, incorporating data collection, source verification, critical interpretation, and historiographic writing. The findings reveal two main educational models: ngajai (informal community-based teaching) and ngajai di umah syiak (instruction at the homes of religious leaders), both of which integrated Quranic literacy, moral education, and local customary values. This research makes a significant contribution by providing the first comprehensive documentation of Islamic education in Kerinci and offers a methodological innovation for studying oral tradition-based Islamic education systems in local contexts.

Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as ChatGPT, into education has raised concerns about their potential to suppress students' critical thinking skills. This study aims to investigate whether ChatGPT facilitates or hinders the development of critical thinking through adaptive and individualized learning interactions. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observations of students and lecturers at Nurul Jadid University. The findings suggest that ChatGPT can enhance classroom discussions, encourage students to consider multiple perspectives, and refine their analytical skills. However, challenges such as over-reliance on AI, information bias, and decreased independent reasoning must be addressed to optimize the role of AI in education. This study concludes that ChatGPT offers significant benefits in fostering engagement and analytical reasoning. Its effective integration requires careful pedagogical strategies. The study contributes to educational research by providing insights into AI-assisted learning and proposing guidelines for maximizing AI's educational potential while mitigating its drawbacks.

Abstract

Indigenous communities are among the vulnerable groups at risk of being left behind in the development process. To uphold the "leave no one behind" principle of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is crucial to examine public policies affecting indigenous peoples. This article focuses on the indigenous community in Bukittinggi, specifically the Kurai people. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, combining an analysis of public policy documents with field research on the traditional leaders of Kurai Limo Jorong. The findings reveal that the Kurai Indigenous community in Bukittinggi resembles antimun bungkuak—present yet unrecognized. While they remain de facto founders of the city, with leaders and traditional institutions still in place, their influence has steadily declined. Public policies have progressively marginalized them, excluding their existence from official development plans and decision-making processes.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the "Digital Forest Predator Game" (DFPG), a digital escape room game designed to teach food web concepts to elementary students in Indonesia. Despite increasing integration of technology in education, elementary students continue to struggle with abstract ecological concepts, particularly in developing countries where both infrastructural and pedagogical barriers exist. Using a quantitative descriptive approach with a one-shot case study design, this research evaluated the implementation of DFPG among 27 fifth-grade students in Surabaya. Data collection employed student response questionnaires that measured three dimensions (interest/motivation, active involvement, and learning effectiveness), as well as concept comprehension tests. Results revealed positive student responses across all dimensions (Interest/Motivation: 3.2/4, Learning Effectiveness: 3.1/4, Active Involvement: 3.0/4) and strong learning outcomes with 70.4% of students achieving high scores (80-100 range) and a mean score of 84.36. The findings demonstrate that interactive digital games effectively bridge the gap between abstract ecological concepts and elementary students' understanding while simultaneously fostering digital literacy and problem-solving skills. This research contributes to educational science by providing empirical evidence of gamification's effectiveness in elementary ecology education and establishing a practical framework for integrating technology in resource-constrained educational settings.
