Abstract

This study is inspired by the relevance of positive social attitudes in developing harmonious connections with others, including peers, family, and society. The study examines how differentiated digital media, grounded in Balinese folklore and cultural values, influence the social perspectives of elementary school students. The research method adopted is quantitative, with an experimental component. The study's findings indicate that utilizing digital media rooted in Balinese culture, particularly through folklore, significantly enhances students' social attitudes, including helping one another, empathy, tolerance, peaceful living, and social participation. These improvements are closely tied to the cultural messages embedded in the stories. The results support earlier research that folklore, as a cultural artifact with strong moral messages, can shape future behavior. This study highlights the importance of integrating cultural heritage into digital learning tools to build moral and social values. The recommended steps include producing more culturally-based educational resources, providing teacher training to apply culturally-rich materials, and conducting further studies to evaluate the long-term impact of folklore-based digital media on character education.

Abstract

Early marriage remains a global concern, hindering the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly gender equality. This practice causes a variety of health problems and violates girls' fundamental human rights, including the right to decide when and whom they will marry. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a short film intervention titled RABI (Remaja Anti Bertindak Nikah Dini), which integrates local wisdom to improve knowledge and attitudes regarding early marriage prevention among adolescent girls in Lumajang, Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 137 junior and senior high school students from the Puskesmas Rogotrunan. The intervention consisted of a pre-test, a short film screening, and a post-test. Results revealed a significant improvement in students' post-test scores, with a Wilcoxon test p-value of 0.000, indicating the effectiveness of the intervention. The integration of local wisdom in educational videos enhanced message acceptance and comprehension. The contribution of this research to science is that the results can serve as a reference in health education and efforts to prevent early marriage, thereby improving the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents and contributing to the reduction of early marriages and enhancement of adolescent health. This approach can serve as a relevant medium for adolescent education, requiring further implementation with region-specific adjustments. Collaboration between governments, educational institutions, and communities is crucial to reducing early marriage rates in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores strategies to enhance the visitor experience at the Subkoss Garuda Sriwijaya Museum through historical and cultural education. Visiting museums is essential in education, as it offers contextual learning experiences that allow visitors to understand history and culture directly through interaction with authentic local artifacts and narratives. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this research aims to analyze the role of educational initiatives in strengthening the museum's function as a public learning space. The findings reveal that contextual education, emphasizing the values of Indonesia's independence struggle and local cultural heritage, effectively enhances visitors' emotional attachment and intellectual engagement. Key innovations include the integration of interactive media, thematic guided tours, and experiential learning activities, all of which collectively create a more dynamic and meaningful museum experience. The museum also offers public programs, including history competitions, community discussions, and participatory activities, which expand educational outreach and foster social cohesion. These efforts have led to a consistent increase in visits from diverse demographic groups. This study concludes that collaboration between museum managers and stakeholders in the education sector is crucial for developing sustainable, engaging, and participatory museum programs. It contributes to the field of museology and public history by demonstrating that educational innovation can transform museums into vibrant centers of community learning and cultural preservation.

Abstract

Every student pursuing studies in a foreign country is highly likely to encounter challenges related to cultural shock, as they must adapt to an environment and regulations that differ from those of their home country. The process of adapting to a cross-cultural environment is critically important for students participating in international exchange programs. This process becomes significantly easier when individuals possess a high level of cultural intelligence and are supported by pre-departure training activities that provide comprehensive information on all necessary preparations for studying abroad. This study employs a quantitative approach, measured through multiple linear regression analysis, by sampling 105 students from Universitas Padjadjaran who participated in the IISMA and IISMAVO programs in 2022. The results of this study indicate that cultural intelligence and pre-departure training have a positive influence on cross-cultural adjustment. This research provides new insights and perspectives in the field of human resource management, particularly in organizational behavior, regarding the relationship between cultural intelligence and pre-departure training on cross-cultural adjustment. It serves as a reference for conducting more in-depth future studies.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is designed to provide flexibility and autonomy for schools in Indonesia to create learning experiences that align with local contexts and the individual needs of students. Education plays a vital role in integrating local potential and wisdom to achieve relevance at both the local and individual levels. Indonesia's rich cultural heritage offers numerous opportunities for integration into learning; however, many of these potentials remain underexplored and underutilized in scientific educational contexts. This study aims to identify and examine the potential and local wisdom of the Toraja people relevant to biological concepts and to develop an ethnopedagogical framework as a foundation for contextualized learning materials for senior high school students in Phases E and F. Employing a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA model, the research screens, selects, and analyzes sources addressing the scientific relevance of the Toraja community's local potential and wisdom on topics such as biodiversity, genetics, anatomy, and more. Findings reveal that the local potential and indigenous knowledge embedded in Toraja wisdom can be adapted into scientific concepts that support the achievement of biology learning outcomes at the senior high school level in Phases E and F. This study contributes to the advancement of ethnopedagogy as an innovative educational approach that aligns teaching practices with local cultural values. Moreover, it provides a framework that can guide the development of learning content, modules, student worksheets, projects, quizzes, and assessment tools to foster meaningful and contextualized learning experiences.

Abstract

As students of BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia untuk Penutur Asing or Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) learning, cultural aspects are fundamental to understand. One reason is that having cultural awareness can increase the success of the language learning process, including BIPA learning. This study aims to describe the dynamics of cultural transfer and its challenges in Indonesian language learning for pluricultural-based foreign speakers. This research applies a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The results indicate that cultural learning for BIPA students is achieved through three key aspects: cultural products, cultural values, and cultural behavior. Inherent teaching methods are more recommended than separate teaching methods. The challenges of cultural transfer in BIPA learning start with: 1) very different cultural backgrounds; 2) BIPA programs tend to be theoretical; 3) Indonesian culture is very diverse and complex; 4) cultural education requires teachers to have the capacity and experience in cultural understanding and communication; and 5) the fast speech tempo of Indonesian society. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the dynamic process of cultural transfer and the challenges of learning Indonesian for pluricultural-based foreign speakers. This research is expected to contribute to the development of BIPA teaching-learning activities that are more adaptive, contextual, and capable of enhancing cultural understanding for learners.
