Abstract

The quality of the implementation of dance studios as non-formal educational institutions can be measured through the quality of program execution and the management systems applied. Dance studios function not only as spaces for arts education but also as culture-based business units that require quality control to ensure the achievement of performance targets, service quality, and business objectives. However, preliminary studies indicate that most dance studios in Indonesia have not yet implemented standardized and modern management systems. This study aims to describe the development of a web-based application, Quality Index version 1.0, as an instrument for standardizing business processes and controlling the quality of dance studio management in Indonesia. The research employs a development research method with a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing the design, functions, and initial implementation of the Quality Index application version 1.0. The results show that the application can present a database of dance studios based on established quality standards and facilitate the direct collection of management data through on-site assessments. The application serves as a systematic, measurable quality control tool. It is concluded that the Edumatriks Quality Index version 1.0 has the potential to serve as a standard quality parameter for dance studio management. This research contributes to the development of technology-based evaluation and management models in community dance arts education.

Abstract

Publications on ecotourism in Southeast Asia over the past decade have shown significant development. This article aims to map the dynamics of those publications through a bibliometric study of 377 documents from the Scopus and Web of Science databases since 2014 to 2024. Data processing used Bibliometrix and VOSviewer software. The findings show publication dominance by Thailand through Srinakharinwirot University. International collaboration networks are led by the University of Göttingen and the University of Tartu. Publication sources on sustainable tourism are distributed across a number of globally reputable journals in various disciplines. The findings show that ecotourism studies are not limited to conservation. Based on the thematic review, research directions have shifted toward biodiversity conservation, strengthening sustainable tourism frameworks, and inclusive economic approaches for local community well-being. This study highlights the importance of integrating cross-cutting ecological and socioeconomic perspectives in ecotourism development and opens space for more contextual and applied academic exploration.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of local wisdom–based digital learning media on elementary students' national insight while controlling for digital readiness. A quasi-experimental matching-only pretest–posttest control group design was employed. Participants were selected through purposive sampling from one public primary school, yielding 54 Grade V students. To reduce selection bias, students were matched on pretest national insight scores, prior academic achievement, and gender distribution, yielding equivalent experimental (n = 27) and control (n = 27) groups. Data were collected using a 20-item National Insight Test (? .80) and an 18-item Digital Readiness Scale assessing technological competence, attitudes, and self-efficacy (? .80). The intervention lasted four weeks, with the experimental group receiving culturally grounded digital instruction and the control group receiving conventional instruction. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), with posttest national insight as the dependent variable and digital readiness as a covariate. Assumption tests were satisfied (p .05). The overall model was statistically significant, F(2, 51) = 14.87, p .001, explaining 37% of variance in posttest scores (R² = .37). Digital readiness significantly predicted national insight, F(1, 51) = 18.42, p .001, partial ?² = .27, while instructional condition showed a smaller but significant effect, F(1, 51) = 4.36, p = .041, partial ?² = .08. The findings suggest that although culturally grounded digital media enhances national insight, students' digital readiness plays a more substantial role in determining learning outcomes.

Abstract

While thelaboreconomy in Indonesia has experienced fast growth on digital platforms, the legal status oflaborworkers remains unclear. They are referred to only as "partners," robbing them of protections given to formal employees. This phenomenon raises constitutional problems, as the 1945 Constitution provides strong guarantees of the right to work, treatment, and social security for every citizen. This study will examine the constitutionality oflaborworker rights from state responsibility and digital sovereignty perspectives, and whether it is necessary to reformlaborlaw in Indonesia. This research uses a normative juridical approach, with qualitative analysis of formal rules, including laws and default rules that apply to court decisions, as well as comparative best practices from other countries, particularly the European Union and the United Kingdom. Such a finding reveals a constitutional void that would produce an architectural mismatch between the proposed constitutional norms and protection forlaborworkers in Indonesia at one end, and on the other is a lack of state presence to regulate the monopolizing practice of digital platforms and the normalizing practices of the precarious nature of digital work culture. The comparative study with the EU and the UK shows that Indonesia is a laggard in ensuring legal certainty. This article develops a new paradigm forlaborers'rights, called "digital constitutional protection," a novel term grounded in progressive legal theory. It makes an academic contribution by advancing a theory of constitutional law and a practical one through proposing adaptive, fair approaches to regulatory reform.

Abstract

The development of Augmented Reality technology offers new opportunities in education by providing visual, interactive, and exploratory learning experiences, particularly in dance learning that requires strong visual comprehension. This study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an AR-based dance-teaching module to increase elementary students’ interest in learning. Grounded in a pragmatic paradigm, the research employed a mixed-methods approach using the Design and Development method. Participants included AR experts, dance teachers, and 20 fifth-grade students from Cendekia Leadership School Bandung. Data were collected through interviews, observations, expert validation, tests, and questionnaires, while learning interest was analyzed using the SAFARI indicators: pleasure, interest, attention, and active involvement. Statistical analysis included normality testing, paired-samples t-tests, and N-Gain calculations. Results showed the module was rated “Very Feasible” by experts with a mean score of 90.97%. Field testing indicated significant improvement in student scores from a pre-test mean of 60.15 to a post-test mean of 80.45, with a significant difference (p 0.001) and a high N-Gain of 0.81. Questionnaire findings revealed students’ learning interest reached a Very High level (92.19%). Therefore, the AR-based module effectively enhances learning interest through interactive, visually engaging dance instruction for elementary learners.

Abstract

Problem-solving skills are fundamental competencies in science education, particularly in basic chemistry, as they enable students to implement conceptual knowledge to real-life phenomena. This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the problem-based chemistry test and to describe students' problem-solving skills. The test consisted of five essay-based problem-solving items administered to 123 first-year biology education students enrolled in a general chemistry course. Data were analyzed using EFA with SPSS 25 and Rasch Model with Winsteps Software version 3.73. The results indicated that all items fit the Rasch Model and demonstrated good item reliability, with a range of difficulty levels. However, person reliability was low, suggesting that the test had limited sensitivity in differentiating students' ability levels. Analysis of students' abilities revealed that most students were classified as having low to very low problem-solving skills, while a smaller proportion demonstrated moderate to high ability. A substantial number of persons misfit were identified, indicating irregular response patterns that may be influenced by test-taking behavior or the open-ended nature of the items. These findings suggest that the test is suitable for formative and diagnostic assessment of problem-solving skills in basic chemistry; however, further refinement and additional items are suggested to improve measurement precision.

Abstract

This study examines how multicultural learning is articulated and enacted within Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in practice-based higher education and develops an Embodied Multicultural Learning Framework based on the findings. Although OBE emphasizes clearly articulated, measurable learning outcomes, limited attention has been given to how multicultural learning unfolds in embodied studio practices. Using an interpretive qualitative case study design, this research analyses a course syllabus and semi-structured interviews with ten undergraduate students at ISI Bali. The findings show that multicultural competencies are indirectly embedded within general ethical and professional learning outcomes, while assessment criteria primarily prioritize technical performance. At the same time, students experience multicultural learning through bodily adaptation, shifting insider–outsider positioning, peer interaction, and reflective reinterpretation of cultural meaning during studio practice. The study concludes that multicultural learning in practice-based disciplines cannot be fully captured by formal outcome indicators alone, as it develops through embodied and relational processes. This research contributes to the field by proposing a conceptual framework integrating curriculum articulation, embodied engagement, relational negotiation, and reflective integration to inform curriculum design and assessment in practice-based education.

Abstract

The current research examines differences between genders and cultures concerning scientific literacy and numeracy skills of Indonesian secondary school students residing in Sundaland, Indonesia. This quantitative study used hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) and analyzed results from literacy tests, questionnaires, and interviews conducted among the stratified sample. According to the analysis, Javanese students achieved the best results in the test; Balinese respondents scored the lowest due to unequal infrastructure and limited access to technology. Moreover, males showed greater results in numeracy, whereas females demonstrated their advantage in scientific literacy. In addition, the use of the mother tongue helped students achieve a better understanding of the concepts; Batak and Minangkabau respondents with long-standing cultural learning traditions showed higher results. Thus, this paper supports the idea that inclusive educational policy is a key factor for closing the literacy gap in ethnically diverse countries. Ethnomathematics and multicultural education practices should be used more often for improving academic performance in Indonesia. Even though this work has some limitations, including the geographic location of respondents and the lack of longitudinal studies, the author managed to conduct a valuable study on the issue under consideration. It will contribute to the development across diverse populations.

Abstract

The linguistic functions used in textbooks strengthen students' understanding of how gender representation is expressed. This study aims to examine the power of gender-based language functions in an English book. This manuscript incorporates a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through content analysis in examining gender representation and the variety of language functions. Data were analyzed in three stages: identification, categorization, and interpretation, aimed at determining the patterns of gender representation and the use of language functions in textbooks. The results showed that males were represented at a higher rate (54.13%) than females (45.87%) based on criteria for measuring gender representation, including pictorial illustrations, characters, gender mentions, role models, activities, and patterns of referencing females and males. A number of the six types of language functions used by the authors in their books, namely Referential, Emotive, Conative, Phatic, Metalingual, and Poetic, represent the highest female gender compared to the other five types. These findings conclude that language functions play a substantial role in shaping gender representation, promoting established beliefs about the roles of men and women. This study broadens applied linguistics in education by showing how textbook constructs of language proficiency shape students' perspectives on social consciousness and gender identity.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of a TPACK-based Electronic Student Worksheet (E-LKPD) on the digital literacy and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) of eighth-grade students in science learning. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed, involving an experimental class (n=27) that used the TPACK-based E-LKPD and a control class (n=27) that received conventional instruction using printed LKPD. Data were collected through validated digital literacy questionnaires, HOTS assessments, and student perception questionnaires. Mann-Whitney U tests indicated statistically significant differences in both digital literacy (p=0.014) and HOTS (p=0.004), favoring the experimental group, with moderate effect sizes (0.4390). Spearman's correlation showed a strong positive relationship between digital literacy and HOTS (? = 0.686; p 0.001; 95% CI [0.519; 0.801]). Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) indicated that students' positive perceptions of the TPACK E-LKPD predicted their digital literacy (?=0.635;p=0.004), which in turn was associated with higher HOTS scores (?=0.218; p=0.0216). These findings show that TPACK-based E-LKPD is effective not only in improving two key 21st-century skills simultaneously, but also in revealing a mechanism in which positive student perceptions support digital literacy development and, in turn, higher-order thinking. The study provides empirical evidence for using TPACK as a design framework for digital science worksheets to support digital literacy and higher-order thinking in secondary science education.
