Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the influence of Indonesian language usage, cultural values preservation, and digital education engagement on the formation of national identity among Indonesian students in the digital era. The research addressed the urgent question of how educational practices rooted in language and culture can support national unity amidst rapid technological transformation. Method: A quantitative approach utilizing Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) via SmartPLS 4 was conducted. Data were collected from 350 students across diverse educational institutions using a structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale to measure Indonesian Language Usage (ILU), Cultural Values Preservation (CVP), Digital Education Engagement (DEE), and National Identity (NI). Reliability and validity of constructs were established, and the structural model was evaluated for explanatory power. Results: Measurement model analysis indicated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s alpha 0.88–0.92) and validity (AVE > 0.68). The structural model confirmed that ILU (β = 0.342; p < 0.001), CVP (β = 0.385; p < 0.001), and DEE (β = 0.298; p < 0.001) each contributed significantly and positively to national identity, collectively explaining 67.2% of its variance (R² = 0.672). Novelty: The study provides empirical evidence using advanced SEM-PLS analysis to demonstrate that cultural values have the strongest effect on national identity, followed by language and digital engagement. This highlights the essential role of integrating cultural and linguistic components into digital education design, offering a strategic framework for sustaining Indonesia’s unity in the digital age.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates how the integration of Total Quality Management (TQM) and transdisciplinary collaboration supports the curriculum restructuring process at the Department of Educational Management, Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA), in achieving international accreditation standards set by ACQUIN. The abstract clearly and succinctly outlines the process of curriculum reform, emphasizing the systematic stages and quality framework applied. Method: A qualitative descriptive method was applied to explore the institutional strategies and processes involved in curriculum reform. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving internal and external stakeholders, including lecturers, students, international academics, and partner institutions. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, focusing on the stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation. Results: The curriculum restructuring process followed three systematic stages: internal review, external review, and sanctioning meetings. Each stage was guided by the PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) cycle, ensuring that quality assurance, reflection, and continuous improvement were embedded throughout the process. Multi-stakeholder participation was central to every stage, promoting alignment with international standards and responsiveness to both institutional and global needs. Transdisciplinary collaboration particularly with academics from Malaysia and Thailand, as well as local NGOs enhanced curriculum content, learning outcomes, and pedagogical design, ensuring both contextual relevance and international compatibility. Novelty: This study proposes a quality-based curriculum management model that integrates TQM principles with transdisciplinary collaboration. Unlike conventional curriculum reforms, this model positions quality assurance mechanisms and global collaboration as the core drivers of sustainable change. The findings provide both practical and theoretical insights for higher education institutions seeking international recognition, demonstrating that structured, quality-driven curriculum restructuring can strengthen institutional competitiveness and educational relevance in the global landscape.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of behavioral bias on investment decisions of undergraduate students in Indonesia in the context of higher education with risk perception as a mediating variable and financial literacy as a moderating variable as a basis for strengthening the behavioral-based financial literacy curriculum in universities, as well as preparing students to become rational investors. Method: The study used a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 385 undergraduate students in Indonesia who are active individual investors and registered with the Kustodian Sentral Efek Indonesia (KSEI). The structural model analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 4, while the moderated mediation test was performed using PROCESS Model 59 in SPSS. Results: The study's results indicate that behavioral bias has a significant adverse effect on risk perception, which in turn hurts the investment decisions of students in Indonesia. Financial literacy is proven to act as an important moderating variable. It can weaken the adverse effect of behavioral bias on risk perception and change the impact of risk perception on investment decisions to be positive at high levels of financial literacy. In addition, risk perception mediates the relationship between behavioral bias and investment decisions, especially at moderate levels of financial literacy. Novelty: The findings underscore the importance of integrating behavioral aspects in developing financial literacy curricula in higher education to equip students with the cognitive and affective competencies needed for rational investment decision-making. This study contributes to the behavioral finance literature and offers practical and theoretical contributions for educators and policymakers in designing contextual and behavioral-based financial literacy education for students.
