Abstract

Student well-being is a crucial factor influencing academic engagement, psychological adjustment, and overall success in higher education, particularly during the first year of study when students face significant academic and social transitions. First-year students often experience challenges such as adapting to new learning environments, managing academic demands, and building social connections, which can affect their psychological well-being. This study aims to analyze and explore the level of well-being among first-year students in the Guidance and Counseling program. Using a survey design, the research involved 188 active first-year students selected from five student cohorts. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of 18 items measured on a 4-point Likert scale, and analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that 77% of students fall within the moderate category of well-being, 20% in the high category, and 3% in the low category. Conceptually, these findings suggest that the majority of students maintain an adequate level of psychological well-being, yet there remains a considerable proportion requiring targeted support. The study concludes that enhancing responsive self-development programs is essential to strengthen the psychological well-being of first-year students during their academic transition.

Abstract

Character education in schools often faces challenges in internalizing values through real-life experiences. Limited student engagement makes character education less meaningful. This study aims to describe the implementation of character education through the Community Service Program (Sekolah Kerja Nyata, SKN) and to identify the values it fosters. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, supervising teachers, and students. The results show that SKN successfully fostered values such as responsibility, cooperation, social awareness, independence, and religiosity. Students demonstrated improvements in discipline, communication skills, and leadership through participation in social activities. The program aligns with experiential character education approaches that emphasize social interaction as a means of value formation. The study concludes that SKN is an effective model of character education by integrating academic learning and attitude development through direct engagement. SKN also has the potential to be adopted as a co-curricular activity within the new curriculum structure, as it supports cross-disciplinary learning and character development through contextual, project-based approaches. These findings provide a foundation for developing similar programs in other schools to strengthen character formation relevant to real life.

Abstract

The low level of student initiative, despite relatively high levels of empathy and resilience, presents a significant challenge in character development at the secondary level, as it has the potential to hinder independence, proactive behavior, and readiness to meet both academic and life demands. This study aims to analyze the relationship between initiative, empathy, and resilience, while also identifying their implications for strategies to strengthen student character. Employing a quantitative descriptive correlational design, the research involved 300 respondents using an 18-item questionnaire that was both valid and reliable (Cronbach’s α = 0.86–0.90). Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test. The findings indicate that empathy ranked highest, followed by resilience, while initiative ranked lowest, highlighting the need for interventions to foster autonomy and proactive behavior. A strong positive correlation was found among the three variables, particularly between initiative and resilience (r = 0.79), indicating interdependence. These results recommend enhancing empathy through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), resilience through counseling, and initiative through independent projects and coaching, in alignment with the Pancasila Student Profile (Profil Pelajar Pancasila) and the World Economic Forum’s character taxonomy, to support students’ holistic development.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students on the topic of plant parts in fourth-grade elementary school, which is caused by the limited use of engaging learning media that suit the students’ characteristics. The purpose of this study is to develop interactive learning videos to improve students’ learning outcomes. The development model used is the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subjects of this study were 18 fourth-grade students. The data collection methods and instruments used in this development research included questionnaires and multiple-choice tests. The data analysis techniques employed were qualitative descriptive, quantitative, and inferential. The results of the study indicate that the interactive learning videos developed were effective in improving students’ learning outcomes, as evidenced by the increase in average scores and positive responses from the students regarding the learning process. The implications of this study suggest that interactive video media can be an appropriate solution for teaching science, especially for visually-oriented topics, and can encourage teachers to be more innovative in designing technology-based learning.

Abstract

The low level of students’ responsibility character, attributed to the dominance of conventional teaching methods, highlights the need for innovative learning models grounded in local culture that can meaningfully instill character values. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Picture and Picture model assisted by the traditional game sepit-sepitan on the responsibility character of elementary school students. A quasi-experimental approach was employed, using a non-equivalent control group design. The study involved 30 students selected through cluster random sampling, consisting of 17 students in the experimental group and 13 in the control group. Data were collected using an observation sheet measuring responsibility character on a dichotomous scale. The data were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. The analysis revealed that tcount = 2.90 exceeded ttable = 2.048 at the 5% significance level, indicating that H₀ is rejected and H₁ is accepted. These results suggest that the Picture and Picture model assisted by the sepit-sepitan game has a significant positive effect on improving students' responsibility character. The findings imply that the integration of culturally-based learning models can serve as an effective and enjoyable strategy for strengthening character education from an early age.

Abstract

The development of the times and shifts in social values have led to a weakening of the internalization of character values in people's lives, especially among the younger generation. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to analyze the values of character education contained in the theatrical work Segara Tanpa Tepi. The approach used is a descriptive, qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The subject of the study is the theatrical work [Segara Tanpa Tepi] as a medium for expressing Hindu character education values. Participants involved in this study were artists and spiritual figures. The selection of participants used a purposive sampling technique. The methods used for data collection included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentary studies. The research instruments were interview sheets, observation sheets, and documentation studies. The research data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods, following the steps of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study on understanding Segara Tanpa Tepi, a religious concept that encompasses basic human abilities, are accompanied by contextual views on Dharma Luas, Nyelisik Sangkan Paran, and Margi Uter. In addition, a finding that in packaging his wayang performance, the puppeteer is truly influenced by his fundamental ability factors, namely thinking (idep), speaking (sabda), and acting (bayu). It is concluded that the theatrical work Segara Tanpa Tepi serves as a medium for internalizing character education values rooted in the teachings of Tri Premana and local Balinese Hindu wisdom. Through aesthetic and spiritual experiences, this theater successfully conveys profound moral, religious, and social messages to the community. The implication of this research is that traditional performing arts can be used as an object of study to understand and convey character values, especially in the context of character education that is rooted in local culture and religious values.

Abstract

The transformation of local cultural values to the younger generation faces challenges due to the limited internalization of values in socio-economic practices. This study aims to explore and analyze local cultural values that develop in traders’ economic practices and examine their relevance as a medium for learning the Pancasila economic principles. This research employs a qualitative approach using an ethnographic method. The research subjects consist of traders as the main actors of economic activities, selected through the snowball sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, with interview guidelines serving as the main research instrument. Data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The results show that traders’ economic practices reflect local cultural values aligned with the principles of the Pancasila economy, including barelaan, papadaan/bubuhan/badingsanakan, batutulungan, bakalah bamanang, ampun saorang, and honesty. These values function as guidelines for economic interaction as well as social mechanisms for maintaining solidarity and sustaining relationships among economic actors. Overall, the study concludes that local cultural values are concretely integrated into economic practices and contribute to strengthening character-based economic principles grounded in Pancasila. The findings have both theoretical and practical implications for developing learning strategies and preserving cultural values within the economic context.

Abstract

Lotisan is a peripheral culinary tradition that holds significant value in maintaining social cohesion within Javanese rural communities. Amid the growing tendency toward individualism in modern life, integrating local wisdom into formal education remains a crucial challenge. This study aims to analyze the meaning of the lotisan culinary tradition from the perspective of Javanese society, examine its integration into history learning through demonstration methods in the topic of prehistoric human life, and evaluate its implications for the development of students’ cooperation character. This research employed a qualitative approach with a single case study design. Data were collected through non participant observation, in depth interviews, document analysis, and literature review. The participants included school leaders, history teachers, students, and community representatives selected through purposive sampling. Data validity was ensured through triangulation techniques, and data were analyzed using an interactive model combined with content analysis to interpret both primary and secondary data.The findings indicate that lotisan functions as a form of social capital that strengthens cooperation and social solidarity. Its integration into history learning through contextual and project-based approaches creates interactive and meaningful learning experiences while reinforcing the internalization of cooperative values among students. This study concludes that local culinary traditions can serve as effective pedagogical media for character education. The implication is that history learning should utilize local wisdom as a contextual resource to foster not only cognitive development but also students’ character formation.

Abstract

Character formation at the elementary school level is a priority in the Indonesian education system however, its implementation remains less balanced compared to cognitive achievement. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Tri Hita Karana based digital comic learning media in enhancing students’ global diversity and independence. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent post-test only control group. The participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group that used digital comics and a control group that received conventional instruction. Data were collected through validated questionnaires and analyzed using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The results revealed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), with a stronger improvement in global diversity (η² = 0.457) than in independence (η² = 0.097). These findings indicate that integrating local cultural values into digital media effectively strengthens students’ cognitive, affective, and social character development. This study implies that local wisdom based digital comics can serve as an innovative strategy for character education in elementary schools and support the contextual and meaningful implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile.

Abstract

Low IPAS learning outcomes, along with variations in parenting styles and students’ levels of independent character, indicate a problem that requires empirical investigation. This study aims to examine the relationship between parenting style and independent character on IPAS learning outcomes among fifth-grade students in the 2023/2024 academic year. The research employed an ex post facto design. The population consisted of 181 fifth-grade students, with a sample of 123 students selected through random sampling techniques. Data were collected using questionnaires to measure parenting style and students’ independent character, as well as documentation of IPAS Final Semester Examination (UAS) scores. The analysis results revealed that parenting style contributed 4.3%, independent character contributed 66.6%, and the combination of both variables contributed 68.5% to students’ IPAS learning outcomes. These findings indicate that independent character plays a more dominant role than parenting style in directly influencing IPAS learning outcomes, although both variables are interconnected. The study implies that systematic strengthening of students’ independent character within school practices, supported by positive parenting at home, is essential for improving academic achievement. Strengthening collaboration between schools and parents through structured programs focused on fostering self-regulated learning, responsibility, and autonomy may serve as an effective strategy to enhance student performance. Based on these findings, future research is recommended to employ longitudinal designs to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamic relationships among variables and to explore potential mediating or moderating factors.
