Abstract

This study explores the integration of ethnoscience and physics perspectives in determining the Hijri calendar in Kudus City, Central Java. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and document analysis, this research reveals that the Kudus community harmonizes scientific reasoning (hisab) with empirical and religious practices (rukyat) based on local wisdom. The findings show that the hisab imkan rukyah haqiqi tahqiqi method applied in the Menara Kudus Almanac represents an advanced traditional model that aligns with modern astronomical calculations involving the Moon's synodic cycle, celestial geometry, and atmospheric refraction. Scientifically, this study contributes to understanding how local ethnoscience can complement and contextualize formal knowledge of physics and astronomy. Practically, it provides insights for developing culture-based science education, particularly in astronomy learning, and offers empirical references for policy formulation on Hijri calendar standardization. However, the study is limited to the Kudus context, suggesting the need for comparative research across other Indonesian regions and further validation using digital simulation or optical instrumentation to enrich the integration between local wisdom and scientific astronomy.

Abstract

This study develops the DILAN (Dalami/Explore, Informasikan/Inform, Latihkan/Practice, Amati/Observe, Nilai/Assess) learning model assisted by Wayang Kamasan Painting to improve global diversity character and cultural literacy in elementary students. The research is based on the limited use of local wisdom in social studies, which makes learning tend to emphasize memorization. Using a Research and Development (RD) design with the ADDIE model, the study followed five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Research instruments included expert validation questionnaires, observation sheets, student and teacher response questionnaires, and cultural literacy tests. The design test showed a feasibility level of 95% (very good). Validation by content, design, and media experts scored ?90% (very good). Student practicality trials reached 87–92.3% (good to very good), while teacher assessment was 93.8% (very good). Effectiveness testing showed significant results: global diversity (t = 2.104 2.064) and cultural literacy (t = 2.121 2.064), indicating H1 was accepted. Thus, the DILAN model with Wayang Kamasan assistance is valid, practical, and effective. It serves as an innovative learning model that integrates local culture, supports character formation, and strengthens national identity in the globalization era.

Abstract

The growing threat of globalization to local culture has been met with potential mitigations through improving technology, especially in the field of teaching history. Traditional history-teaching methods disregard the importance of students' local cultural and personal identities, leading to low motivation and limited promotion of students' cultural consciousness. For students' historical literacy and to develop innovative methods of cultural heritage preservation, this paper focuses on developing culture-oriented, technology-enhanced digital history teaching resources grounded in the local culture and folk wisdom of Batu Urip Village. A Research and Development (RD) method and the ADDIE framework were used to engage 60 senior high school students in Lubuklinggau. Participants' historical literacy was assessed using observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Both quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques were used to analyze the data. The results show that the digital learning resources developed were valid, practical, and effective in significantly enhancing students' cultural-historical understanding, local history, and the value of history. The addition of Batu Urip's culture story to interactive digital media connects contemporary learning with traditional culture. This research developed a culture-oriented digital learning model in response to the Merdeka Curriculum, increasing local cultural literacy and aiding sustainable cultural preservation in the digital era. This research on history teaching was the first of its kind in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines how Total Quality Management (TQM) affects organizational culture in vocational education, using transformational leadership as a moderating variable. The study was motivated by challenges faced by SMK Negeri 4 Klaten in fostering a culture of caring, contribution, and collaboration to improve school performance and graduate readiness. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 307 respondents: teachers, staff, and students. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire measuring Total Quality Management, organizational culture, and transformational leadership. Direct and moderating effects were investigated using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS, backed by validity and reliability tests using Average Variance Extracted, Composite Reliability, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The findings reveal that both transformational leadership and total quality management have a major positive impact on organizational culture. Additionally, transformational leadership serves as a moderator, strengthening the link between corporate culture and Total Quality Management. By combining transformational leadership with Total Quality Management in vocational schools, this study adds to the body of knowledge on quality management in education. Practically speaking, the results offer guidance to legislators and school administrators on enhancing leadership skills and creating an organizational culture focused on quality.

Abstract

Cultural values are recognized as drivers of entrepreneurial intentions, particularly in communities with strong economic and social traditions, such as the Minangkabau ethnic group, which possesses a high work ethic and entrepreneurial tradition. These values have the potential to serve as social capital to enhance students' entrepreneurial intentions amid the high unemployment of university graduates. This study aims to examine the role of Minangkabau cultural values as social capital in entrepreneurship programs, as well as how these values are internalized by students to shape entrepreneurial intentions. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 442 students in West Sumatra using validated instruments, and the analysis was performed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using Smart-PLS to test direct, mediating, and moderating effects. The findings indicate that Minangkabau cultural values strongly predict social capital and directly enhance entrepreneurial intentions. Social capital significantly mediates this relationship, while the internalization of cultural values shows a small positive effect but a negative moderating effect, indicating a substitution mechanism between practical experience and overall cultural orientation. This study highlights the importance of integrating cultural value strategies and social capital in entrepreneurship education and contributes to the understanding of culture-based entrepreneurship and social capital theory.

Abstract

Students' poor scientific literacy in addressing socio-scientific issues is a critical challenge in 21st century science education. Innovative learning approaches are needed to meaningfully integrate ethnoscience, socio-scientific issues, and digital technology. This study investigates the effectiveness of interactive web-based learning integrating Ethnoscience and Socio-Scientific Issues (ESSI) in improving students’ scientific literacy. Using a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design. Scientific literacy was measured using validated tests and analyzed through independent sample t-tests and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher scientific literacy than the control group (mean posttest = 82.40 vs. 74.15; p = 0.002), with a high N-Gain score of 0.71. The results show that web-based ESSI learning effectively enhances scientific literacy. The study concludes that interactive web-based ESSI learning effectively strengthens students’ scientific literacy. This research contributes to science education by demonstrating the pedagogical value of integrating local wisdom, socio-scientific contexts, and digital media to support contextual and sustainable science learning aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
