Abstract

Objective: This study explored the integration of multimodal texts in language learning within the Merdeka Belajar curriculum framework, which emphasizes four core competencies aligned with the 21st-century educational goals. Method: Using Arts-Based Educational Research (ABER) with the Art in Research approach, we developed a music and poetry video depicting the Puragabaya Legend from Galunggung, Tasikmalaya as an innovative digital teaching material. Result: The creative process successfully produced digital performance that meets both aesthetic and educational requirements. The Puragabaya Music and Poetry Video demonstrates an effective integration of verbal metafunctions (narrative structure and cultural storytelling) and visual metafunctions (symbolic imagery and representational elements) that enhance students' comprehension and cultural understanding. The video effectively bridges traditional storytelling with contemporary digital literacy demands, providing concrete examples of metaphorical language use within authentic cultural contexts. Novelty: This research contributes to educational innovation by demonstrating how arts-based digital materials can serve both pedagogical and aesthetic functions, offering a replicable model for integrating local cultural content into language learning curricula through creative multimedia production.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) policy in elementary schools across South Sulawesi Province during its first semester of execution. The research background stems from the urgency of improving school-age children’s nutrition as part of a broader human resource development strategy. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using an evaluation study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and parents; direct observation of meal distribution processes; and analysis of policy documents and implementation reports. The evaluation approach adopted in this study is the Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM) developed by Malcolm Provus. This model focuses on analyzing the gap between the established standards of the MBG policy and its actual implementation in schools. The evaluation process includes: (1) identifying program standards or criteria, such as meal portions, nutritional content, and distribution mechanisms; (2) measuring actual performance through observations and interviews; (3) comparing standards and implementation outcomes to detect discrepancies; and (4) analyzing the causes of these discrepancies and providing recommendations for improvement. This approach allows the researcher to systematically identify areas of strength as well as areas needing improvement, providing a strong basis for data-driven decision-making. Data analysis employed Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the MBG program has had a positive impact on student attendance, learning motivation, and nutritional awareness among pupils. However, challenges were identified, including budget constraints, unequal distribution of food supplies, and a lack of training for school nutrition staff. This study provides practical contributions for local governments and education offices to improve program effectiveness, as well as academic contributions for developing school-based nutrition policy studies. Recommendations include strengthening cross-sectoral coordination, optimizing budget allocation, and enhancing the capacity of school personnel. Thus, this initial evaluation serves as an important foundation for formulating sustainable policies to support children’s optimal growth and development.

Abstract

Objective: To develop and test an entrepreneurial success model for creative micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in West Java, Indonesia, by examining five entrepreneur-level factors entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial alertness, entrepreneurial creativity, opportunity recognition, and entrepreneurial orientation and to derive implications for entrepreneurship education. Methods: A quantitative explanatory survey of 432 creative-industry MSME owners was conducted (January–March 2025). Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM (SmartPLS 4) to estimate direct and mediating effects. The analysis followed standard procedures for outer/inner model evaluation (indicator loadings ≥0.70 where retained; reliability and HTMT satisfied) and bootstrapping (5,000 resamples) for path significance. Results: All five factors contributed significantly to entrepreneurial success. Self-efficacy, alertness, and entrepreneurial orientation showed positive direct effects, while creativity mediated the effects of self-efficacy and alertness, and opportunity recognition mediated the effects of alertness and entrepreneurial orientation. The structural model explained R² = 0.716 (71.6%) of the variance in success (creativity R² = 0.644; opportunity recognition R² = 0.584), indicating substantial explanatory power. Novelty: The study shows that entrepreneurial traits influence success primarily through the mediating mechanisms of creativity and opportunity recognition. This trait–mechanism coupling provides a clearer explanation of how entrepreneur-level factors translate into performance and offers actionable guidance for entrepreneurship education targeting these mediating capabilities.

Abstract

Objective: The widespread phenomenon of bullying in Indonesian elementary schools, with 41.1% of students experiencing harassment, demonstrates the urgent need for effective character development. The deep learning approach, which emphasizes meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning, offers an innovative solution for developing students' peace-loving character. This study aims to develop teaching materials based on the deep learning approach to foster peace-loving character as an effort to prevent bullying behavior in elementary school students. The research employs a Design and Development (D&D) approach using the PPE (Planning, Production, Evaluation) method. The planning stage includes needs analysis, curriculum analysis, and literature review. The production stage develops teaching materials based on deep learning principles. The evaluation stage involves validation by material, media, and language experts through focus group discussions (FGD). The product consists of teaching materials titled "Peace-Loving Friends" integrated with deep learning principles. Validation results show feasibility scores: material expert 4.2/5.0 (excellent), media expert 4.4/5.0 (excellent), and language expert 4.3/5.0 (excellent). The teaching materials include 6 learning modules with activities that stimulate meaningful learning (89%), mindful behavior (92%), and joyful experience (87%). The deep learning-based teaching materials prove suitable for developing peace-loving character in elementary school students. This approach successfully integrates cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects in holistic and enjoyable learning.

Abstract

Objective: Teaching materials are a vital part of teaching, especially in higher education. Although teaching materials have been used in learning, the reality is that the availability of teaching materials that support the learning process using a case study approach in the Doctoral Program in Primary Education is still very limited, especially in the course Theory and Application of Civic Education in Primary Schools, which requires a case study approach as a stimulus for learning. This study also addresses the challenge of doctoral students' critical thinking skills through learning using the developed teaching materials. Method: This study uses a research and development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model, which specifically focuses on the development and validation of the feasibility of case study-based teaching materials. Results: The developed case study-based teaching materials showed very feasible results from various expert judgments. Validation by language experts resulted in an average score of 80%, while material experts gave a score of 90%, and media experts gave a feasibility score of 93%. Novelty: The case study-based teaching materials developed have a complete range of features tailored to field requirements, such as the availability of case study assignments for students that are integrated through barcode scanning to save time in the learning process. This accessibility makes it easier for both lecturers and students to access the assignments given and complete them on time despite the busy schedules of doctoral program lecturers and students.

Abstract

This research seeks to present a comprehensive depiction of scholarly developments in the field of teaching and learning within Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) by examining patterns of scientific productivity, dominant publication outlets, as well as the most active authors, countries, and their collaborative networks. Data were obtained through the extraction of relevant articles from the Scopus online database in November 2023. A total of 490 Scopus-indexed publications produced over a twenty-year period (2003–2023) were identified and selected for bibliometric analysis. The retrieved records were exported in BibTeX format and subsequently transformed into a data frame using functions available in the bibliometrix package. The results reveal a steady and notable growth in research output related to teaching and learning on ESD throughout the past two decades. In addition, the analysis highlights a shift in research emphasis: earlier studies tended to focus more broadly on ESD discourse, whereas more recent publications demonstrate increasing attention toward empirical investigations specifically addressing teaching and learning practices within the ESD context. Unlike existing ESD bibliometric studies that emphasize general thematic development, this review uniquely foregrounds the evolution of teaching and learning research within ESD. The fundamental finding reveals a clear longitudinal shift from conceptual discourse toward empirically driven pedagogical research, indicating the maturation of ESD as an evidence-based educational field.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of green transformational leadership education grounded in local wisdom on sustainable performance, with green behavior positioned as a mediating variable among employees at PT Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP). Method: An explanatory quantitative research design was employed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The sample consisted of 100 employees, determined based on the ten-times rule relative to the number of measurement indicators. Data were collected through structured online questionnaires and field observations. The measurement model was evaluated using convergent validity, discriminant validity, and reliability testing, while the structural model was assessed through path coefficients, R², Q², and hypothesis testing using bootstrapping procedures. Results: The findings indicate that green transformational leadership education based on local wisdom has a positive and significant direct effect on sustainable performance (β = 0.519; T = 7.433; p < 0.001) and on green behavior (β = 0.661; T = 11.749; p < 0.001). Green behavior also significantly influences sustainable performance (β = 0.359; T = 4.613; p < 0.001). Furthermore, green behavior partially mediates the relationship between green transformational leadership education and sustainable performance (β = 0.238; T = 4.195; p < 0.001). The model explains 64.5% of the variance in sustainable performance and demonstrates strong predictive relevance (Q² = 0.80). Novelty:This study offers empirical evidence on the behavioral mechanism through which green transformational leadership education embedded in local wisdom enhances sustainable performance. Distinct from existing literature that applies Western-centric frameworks, this research demonstrates that integrating indigenous values such as metapoko-pokofali and mefalo-falo into leadership education strengthens the internalization of pro-environmental behavior. By positioning green behavior as a partial mediating construct, the research provides a contextualized model for strengthening long-term organizational performance in resource-intensive industrial settings.

Abstract

The Javanese people created some batik patterns depicting the human life-cycle, from birth to death. These motifs have high cultural and philosophical value. They are also used in important ceremonies throughout the human life-cycle. This cultural richness can be integrated into BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) learning. This study aims to design a strategy for integrating Javanese life-cycle batik into BIPA learning with portfolio writing models. This study employs a descriptive research approach with a qualitative focus. Data for this study was collected through observations at a reputable cultural museum, interviews with guides, documentation of batik motifs and literature on Javanese life-cycle batik. To ensure the validity and credibility of the data, triangulation techniques were employed. The results indicate that the life-cycle batik comprises 16 motifs used in seven traditional ceremonies marking stages of the human life-cycle. This diversity of life-cycle batik can be integrated into BIPA teaching materials using Notion as the medium. These materials cover vocabularies (40 words), as well as listening, speaking, reading and writing, and Indonesian cultural awareness. This study contributes to the development of alternative BIPA teaching materials that integrate culture. Integrating Javanese batik motifs representing the life-cycle into BIPA learning could enhance cross-cultural understanding and contextual language skills.

Abstract

Objective: Vocational education plays a strategic role in preparing competent workers aligned with industrial needs, yet the implementation of the Skills Competency Test (UKK) still faces issues such as gaps between taught competencies and industry demands, mismatches between education and the labor market, and the lack of UKK standardization. This study aims to analyze vocational school policies in designing UKK schemes to enhance the relevance of vocational education to labor market needs, focusing on the effectiveness of these policies in preparing students to face workplace challenges. Method: The research method is carried out through case studies with the stages of formulating research focus, data collection, data processing and analysis, triangulation of findings, and drawing conclusions as a basis for recommendations for improving the vocational education system. Results indicate UKK scheme selection relies on internal and external factors, particularly industry synchronization. The industrial scheme is more technologically adaptive and cost-efficient than LSP. However, trade-offs include limited facilities and the short three-year LSP certificate validity relative to industry demands. Periodic evaluation of materials and tools is essential to address gaps, enhance quality, and prepare graduates for global competition. Novelty: Going beyond procedural compliance, this study offers new insights into UKK standardization by analyzing strategic scheme selection. This study integrates policy analysis with implementation results to redefine UKK as a mechanism for operationalizing national standards and enhancing graduates' global competitiveness.
