Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of training, teaching experience, and work motivation on the performance of State Vocational High School teachers in Jeneponto Regency, both partially and simultaneously. Method: The study used Explanatory Research with a quantitative approach through a cross-sectional survey design. The study population came from three State Vocational High Schools in Jeneponto Regency totaling 134 teachers, with a sample of 100 teachers obtained using the Proportionate Random Sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression. Results: The results showed that training, teaching experience, and work motivation had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (Sig. <0.05). Simultaneously, the three variables explained 67.4% of the variation in teacher performance (R² = 0.674), while 32.6% was influenced by other factors outside the model. Novelty: This study emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach in improving the performance of vocational teachers by integrating aspects of competence, professional experience, and work motivation in the context of regional Vocational High Schools. These findings provide an empirical basis for formulating more contextual and sustainable vocational school teacher development policies at the local level.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the influence of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) on Generation Z university students' Netflix subscription intention. The research is motivated by the increasing reliance of students on streaming platforms for entertainment, cultural exposure, and informal learning, alongside heightened psychological pressures associated with digital connectivity. Method: A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using online questionnaires distributed to 385 university students aged 18–24 who actively use Netflix. Out of 400 questionnaires distributed, 385 were returned and deemed valid (response rate: 96.25%). Non-probability purposive sampling was applied. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, reliability and validity testing (HTMT criterion for discriminant validity), and hypothesis testing using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with bootstrapping. Results: Students exhibited moderate-to-high FOMO levels (M = 3.87, SD = 0.92) and predominantly high subscription intentions (M = 4.12, SD = 0.78) on a 5-point Likert scale. FOMO had a significant positive effect on subscription intention (β = 0.432, p < 0.001), explaining 43.2% of the variance. Perceived usefulness, social influence, and digital literacy were measured as contextual variables but not incorporated into the structural model. The remaining 56.8% of unexplained variance indicates that other psychological, social, and technological factors warrant future investigation. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence that FOMO is a significant predictor of streaming platform adoption among Generation Z. The findings offer practical implications for platform providers and educational institutions to develop targeted interventions addressing psychological drivers and digital literacy competencies relevant to subscription behavior in higher education contexts.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the elements affecting the compliance of individual taxpayers in Indonesia. This study will focus on the role of taxpayer awareness and tax center activities in affecting compliance. Method: In this research, the author intends to examine the variables in question, in which a quantitative approach will be used. In this case, the author used a structured questionnaire to collect the primary data, which was distributed to 285 respondents who were selected using the purposive sampling method. This research is based on a taxonomy of three exogenous variables: tax knowledge, ease of administration, and law enforcement, which is in turn is impacted by a mediating variable, taxpayer awareness, a moderating variable of tax center activity, and an endogenous variable of taxpayer compliance. The data collected will be processed using descriptive statistics and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). Results: Law enforcement, tax knowledge, and ease of administration increases taxpayer awareness and compliance. It has been shown that taxpayer awareness mediates the relationship between these three variables and compliance. Tax center activities moderate the relationship between tax knowledge and awareness, but do not moderate the relationship of ease of administration and law enforcement on tax awareness. Novelty: This research is innovative because it incorporates tax center activity both as a moderating variable and taxpayer awareness as a mediating variable within a single structural model. More specifically, this study aids in the empirical understanding of the tax center’s limitations, which seem to be more effective in reinforcing the educative (knowledge) dimension rather than the administrative/law enforcement dimension.

Abstract

Objective: The implementation of Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools brings significant changes in learning approaches, assessments, and the role of teachers. The background of this change is based on the need for an education system that is more flexible, student-centered, and able to accommodate the diverse potential of students. Method: The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method on articles published between 2020 and 2024. The SLR process was conducted in a structured, transparent, and replicable manner to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the literature synthesis. Results: The study results show that most teachers welcome the Merdeka Curriculum because it provides flexibility in designing contextual learning. However, various obstacles have also been identified, such as teachers' limited understanding of the curriculum content, insufficient ongoing training, difficulties in adapting to new learning tools, and limited infrastructure and policy support in some regions. These obstacles highlight the urgent need to strengthen teachers' capacities through training, mentoring, and the provision of adequate resources. Novelty: The uniqueness of this study lies in its methodological contribution, namely the comprehensive application of the Systematic Literature Review method to synthesize literature on teachers' perspectives on the Merdeka Curriculum. This approach is rarely used in similar studies, providing a comprehensive and evidence-based overview that can serve as a reference for policy and learning practices.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities and examines the mediating role of reflection on learning outcomes in fully online Indonesian higher education. Methods: Using a mixed-methods case study approach, data were collected through questionnaires (28 statements) and semi-structured interviews from 20 third-year students at a university in Cirebon, Indonesia. Participants were purposively selected based on completion of technology literacy courses and one semester of experience with both learning modalities. Qualitative data from one lecturer supplemented student perspectives. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. Results: Asynchronous learning demonstrated high effectiveness in fostering critical thinking (77%), self-paced learning (85%), and draft revision opportunities (88%). Synchronous learning showed strong preference for immediate feedback (71%) but faced significant technical challenges, with 90% reporting audio problems and 65% experiencing delayed engagement. High neutrality in perceived skill improvement indicated uncertainty about comparative effectiveness. Interviews revealed 60% preferred synchronous learning despite technical obstacles, while 40% preferred asynchronous learning for flexibility. Novelty: This study introduces a dual reflection pathway framework explaining how learning modalities activate distinct cognitive processes. Asynchronous learning operates through deliberate reflection via a three-stage mechanism (generalization, monitoring, refinement) with documented iterative cycles, while synchronous learning facilitates spontaneous reflection through immediate social presence. This framework advances theoretical understanding of reflection's mediating role in online learning effectiveness within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Mathematics reading, encompassing the comprehension of mathematical texts, symbols, and visual representations, is a critical yet underexplored dimension of numeracy literacy. Many students struggle to connect textual information with mathematical concepts, leading to reduced problem-solving performance, especially in word problems under the National Curriculum. This study aims to examine the effectiveness, types, and impacts of mathematics reading activities, as well as the instructional strategies and classroom conditions that support their integration. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 19 Scopus-indexed empirical studies (2019–2024) using the PRISMA framework, the analysis highlights that activities such as close reading, text-to-symbol transformation, questioning strategies, and digital tools significantly enhance contextual understanding, problem modeling, and complex problem-solving skills. Among the identified approaches, the Gasing Method emphasizing gradual transition from concrete to abstract understanding, mental arithmetic, and intensive reading of problem texts aligns strongly with the needs of numeracy literacy development. Integration is most successful when supported by scaffolding, metacognitive strategies, and a literacy-rich learning environment. These findings suggest that embedding structured mathematics reading activities, including those within the Gasing Method framework, can foster literate, confident, and capable problem-solvers in elementary education while supporting the National Curriculum’s emphasis on contextual and critical thinking

Abstract

Objective of this study is to explore the culture shock experienced by Sudanese students studying at a university in Palembang, Indonesia, focusing on both students' psychological and sociocultural adaptation challenges and strategies when adapted to a new cultural environment. The method is qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through questionnaires and unstructured interviews to obtain a deeper exploration of students’ perspectives. As a result, the findings reveal that Sudanese students experienced the four stages of culture shock such as honeymoon, crisis, recovery, and adjustment. During the crisis stage, students reported difficulties related to language barriers, food, climate differences, and communication patterns with local students. Over time, in the recovery and adjustment stages, students gradually adapted by building social networks, improving language skills, and engaging in local cultural practices. Furthermore, this study offers novelty by integrating intercultural adaptation theories and exploring the under-researched experiences of African students in Indonesia by providing insights into how they enhance academic adaptability and sociocultural competence during classroom activities. The findings reveal that social adaptation strategies significantly improved students' English ability by encouraging actual language exposure, improving academic confidence, and promoting greater understanding and production of academic texts.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines how digital literacy and Indonesian language proficiency shape university students’ patterns of social media use. Digital literacy is conceptualized not merely as technical ability, but as a reflective and ethical capacity to access, evaluate, and produce information responsibly. Indonesian language proficiency is similarly positioned as a key indicator of students’ logical reasoning, clarity of expression, and politeness in digital communication. Using a mixed-methods approach with 75 Communication Science students, this study collected quantitative data through Likert-scale questionnaires measuring digital literacy, language proficiency, and ethical awareness, while qualitative insights were obtained from open-ended responses describing students’ verification practices, communicative strategies, and perceptions of responsible online behavior. The results show that 84% of students routinely verify information sources before sharing, 78% maintain polite and audience-appropriate language when interacting online, and 92% express pride in using proper Indonesian in digital spaces. These findings indicate that higher digital literacy is associated with stronger discernment, self-regulation, and ethical awareness in social media use, while greater Indonesian language proficiency supports clarity, civility, and context-sensitive communication. The integration of these competencies fosters responsible and reflective participation in online environments. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating how language proficiency complements digital literacy in fostering responsible digital behavior and strengthening students' communicative ethics. Importantly, these insights have practical implications for curriculum development and character education in higher education, by promoting an integrated approach that combines digital literacy and language ethics to prepare students for responsible digital citizenship.
