Abstract

Objective: This research investigates forest management practices in conservation zones implementing community-based ecotourism approaches across four distinct coastal regions in North Sumatra: Kota Pari, Pantai Cermin, Perbaungan, and Teluk Mengkudu Villages. By examining these locations, we sought to provide a comparative assessment of education-centered management frameworks and their effectiveness in ecological preservation and community development within varying socioeconomic environments. Method: Our methodology incorporated field observations, stakeholder interviews with 60 key informants, document analysis, mixed-method data evaluation, and 8 focus group discussions conducted throughout January-December 2023. We surveyed 400 households (100 per village) to gather quantitative data regarding educational impacts, conservation perceptions, knowledge acquisition, and CBE program participation levels. Data analysis employed comparative thematic methodology and triangulation from multiple sources to enhance finding validity. Results: Findings revealed notable differences in educational approaches to community-based ecotourism among the researched locations. Kota Pari demonstrated superior results with a 71% reduction in illegal logging and development of 24 knowledge-based livelihood activities. Pantai Cermin successfully leveraged tourism dynamics for environmental education through visitor-community learning exchanges, while Perbaungan Village effectively addressed agricultural-conservation tensions through structured intergenerational knowledge transfer. Teluk Mengkudu Village, having adopted this model most recently (two years prior), showed promising results through its youth-centered educational approach despite resource limitations. Cross-village analysis revealed that implementation duration, educational approach quality, institutional support, and community socioeconomic characteristics significantly influenced program outcomes. Novelty: This study contributes three novel insights to the field: (1) it identifies developmental pathways for educational components in community-based conservation, demonstrating how approaches evolve from targeted activities in early implementation toward comprehensive learning systems as programs mature; (2) it positions education not merely as information transfer but as a transformative process developing community capabilities for both environmental stewardship and sustainable livelihoods; and (3) it challenges conventional distinctions between conservation education and economic development by demonstrating how integrated approaches can simultaneously build ecological knowledge, practical skills, and entrepreneurial capacities. The research provides evidence-based recommendations for designing adaptable education-centered Community Based Ecotourism models applicable across diverse socioeconomic contexts and implementation phases.

Abstract

Objective: As a dynamic educational orientation, efforts to fulfill political awareness require the latest methodological updates. This research offers an ideal media formulation that can help accelerate efforts to revitalize political awareness. Method: To achieve this, the research method applied goes through at least three interrelated stages; 1) qualitative exploration by reviewing research developments in the literature in a study of aligned themes; 2) objective measurement of research subjects (young citizens) using the verbal rating scale (VRS), numeric rating scale (NRS), and graphic rating scale (GRS) methods. The data obtained from these two methods is then used to determine the ideal formulation for realizing political awareness (conceptual framework development, CFD). Results: The measurement results show that the political awareness profile of young citizens is increasingly diverse and shows new trends. The formulation of the best political education media at least fulfills the ideal learning media according to aspects; content, completeness of information, ease of information transactions, and navigation of its use. Novelty: This research offers an innovative framework that can be adapted to evolving socio-political contexts, making it a significant advancement in the field of political education. The positive coordination between awareness (as a learning objective) and the use of technology is a relationship addressed in this study. Concerns that the progressive development of technology might undermine political awareness can be resolved through the analytical findings of this research. Engaging interactive digital tools, such as social media, holds significant potential to be developed as a means of enhancing political awareness.

Abstract

Objective this study aims to examine how educational management strategies influence the development of financial resource utilization, entrepreneurial competence, and business growth in MSMEs operated by housewives in Kota Pari Village. We sought to identify the most effective educational approaches to enhance rural women entrepreneurs' ability to sustain and expand their businesses despite limited resources and traditional constraints. Method a sequential mixed-methods approach was employed, beginning with quantitative data collection through structured questionnaires distributed to 200 MSME operators using Google Forms. This was followed by in-depth interviews with 30 purposively selected participants. Six focus group discussions (FGDs) with village officials and MSME stakeholders provided additional contextual insights. Quantitative data analysis used path analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic coding and triangulation to ensure validity. Results educational management interventions significantly affected business success (R² = 0.487; p < 0.001), both through direct pathways (β = 0.342; p < 0.001) and indirect effects mediated by entrepreneurial capability development (β = 0.305; p < 0.001) and improved capital management (β = 0.253; p < 0.001). Relationship-based educational approaches, particularly mentorship programs (β = 0.412; p < 0.001), demonstrated superior effectiveness compared to traditional instructional methods. Contextually relevant educational content focusing on immediate business challenges was shown to have much higher implementation rates than generic business training. Novelty this research is one of the first to empirically explore educational management in the context of rural women entrepreneurship in Indonesia. We uncover previously undocumented barriers to educational effectiveness for rural women entrepreneurs and provide a contextually grounded framework for designing educational interventions that are better adapted to the social and economic realities of housewife-operated enterprises in Indonesia's developing rural economy.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate G-Bond, a gamification-based learning media designed to improve students' literacy, visualisation, and numeracy skills in learning chemical bonds. Methods: The research uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a 4D (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) model, limited to the development stage. A total of 35 high school students in Gresik Regency participated in the pretest-posttest design of one group. Five experts carry out validation through content assessment, design, and visualisation. Practicality was tested through a student questionnaire, and effectiveness was measured using an N-Gain score. Results: The G-Bond application obtained a perfect validity score (average = 5), was rated very practical (95.14%), and showed moderate to high effectiveness in improving literacy (N-Gain = 0.34), numeracy (0.34), and visualisation (0.74). The most significant improvement occurs in the visualisation aspect. Novelty: G-Bond is the first gamification medium to simultaneously integrate three main skills in one interactive platform based on the topic of chemical bonding. Unlike previous media that focused only on a single aspect or were less connected to the curriculum, G-Bond presents relevant and adaptive game-based contextual challenges for both online and offline learning. Future integration with Augmented Reality (AR) and AI technologies is proposed to enhance immersive and personalised learning experiences.

Abstract

Objective: this research examines the intricate processes contributing to educational development inequity among girls from impoverished female-headed households (pekka) in Pakpak communities at Pegagan Julu VIII Village, North Sumatra. The study explores the interplay between cultural traditions, socioeconomic constraints, and gender ideology that restricts girls' educational opportunities despite Indonesia's commitment to gender equality in educational development frameworks. Method: the investigation employed qualitative feminist methodology, gathering comprehensive life stories from seven Pakpak girls (ages 15-20) who experienced educational discontinuation. Data collection involved in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and focus group discussions with participants and their families, conducted over nine months of ethnographic fieldwork. Results: the analysis revealed that educational development inequity stems from two interlocking systems: patriarchal cultural structures and extreme poverty conditions. These systems create a "patriarchy-poverty nexus" that produces double marginalization of girls—first by systematically restricting their access to higher education in favor of male siblings, and second by imposing additional economic burdens wherein girls must abandon education to financially support their brothers' schooling. Significantly, mothers in these households often serve as unwitting agents reproducing patriarchal values despite their own marginalized position as household heads. Novelty: this study contributes uniquely to educational development discourse by identifying specific mechanisms through which traditional values intersect with economic hardship to create gender-based educational disparities in indigenous communities. Unlike previous research focusing solely on economic barriers, our findings illuminate how cultural interpretations of gender responsibility result in female educational sacrifice becoming normalized as familial duty, providing new insights for addressing educational inequity in traditional communities undergoing uneven development processes.
