Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine educational management strategies based on local wisdom in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas, particularly in Simeulue Regency. The main focus is on how local values can be systematically integrated into education management to improve the quality and relevance of education in remote areas. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach based on conceptual literature studies. Data were collected through a search of scientific literature, government policies, and previous research results relevant to the topic of local wisdom and education management in the 3T region. The analysis was carried out descriptively and critically to compile a synthesis of education management models based on local cultural values. Results: The results of the study show that education in 3T areas faces infrastructure constraints, limited teachers, and low community participation. However, there is great potential in local wisdom, such as smong culture, mutual cooperation, and nandong, that can be integrated into the education management system. The synthesis produced a conceptual model based on participation, local values, and curriculum contextualization. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in the systematic mapping of local values particularly smong and nandong into a coherent strategic management framework that transforms cultural wisdom into an operational education model. This conceptual contribution provides a new perspective on how indigenous cultural systems can be institutionalized within educational management structures, offering theoretical and practical implications for sustainable education in 3T regions.

Abstract

Objective: The 21st century is characterized by transformation and advancement across multiple domains. These modifications encompass requirements within the educational sector. This essay seeks to analyze the opportunities and obstacles of environmental literacy and awareness in 21st-century schooling. This study sought to determine the impact of contextual problem-based learning on students' environmental literacy. The research employed a posttest-only approach and constituted a quasi-experimental study. The control group underwent conventional training, while the experimental group engaged in contextual problem-based learning. The environmental literacy of students was the dependent variable in this study. The independent variable in this study was contextual problem-based learning. Sixty pre-service biology educators from two complete courses participated in the research during their first semester. The assessments of recent environmental literacy competencies were utilized as study instruments. The research findings indicate a disparity in students' environmental literacy between those subjected to contextual problem-based learning and those who undergo traditional education. The experimental group exhibited superior environmental literacy compared to the control group. Consequently, contextual problem-based learning is a viable approach for augmenting students' environmental knowledge.

Abstract

Objective: This study develops ecolinguistics-oriented General Linguistics teaching materials grounded in Angkola Batak phonological and lexical variation to support contextualized learning and local language preservation in Indonesian universities. Method: Using an R&D approach with the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation), the product was validated and tested with five expert validators, two General Linguistics lecturers, and 60 Indonesian Language and Literature Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tapanuli Selatan. Instruments included expert validation sheets, lecturer and student practicality questionnaires, and pre–post achievement tests. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Content Validity Index (CVI), Cronbach’s Alpha, N-Gain, and a paired-sample t-test. Results: The teaching material showed very high validity (CVI = 0.91), strong reliability (α = 0.86), and high practicality (overall practicality = 91%). Effectiveness results indicated a significant improvement in learning outcomes, with mean scores increasing from 70.27 (pre-test) to 88.56 (post-test) and an N-Gain of 0.60 (moderate–high; p < 0.05). The material enhanced students’ analytical skills in phonology and lexicon while fostering ecolinguistic awareness of regional linguistic diversity. Novelty: The study offers a replicable framework for operationalizing applied ecolinguistics in linguistic pedagogy through local language data.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the farming method based on deep learning in developing naturalistic intelligence among early childhood learners. Method: The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in one cycle with several learning activities such as planting water spinach, understanding the phenomenon of tsunamis, observing clouds, and studying the process of rainfall. Data were collected through systematic observations using indicators of interest, knowledge, skills, and environmental awareness. Results: The findings show a notable improvement in children’s naturalistic intelligence after the implementation of the method. Children who initially showed greater interest in artificial objects demonstrated increased engagement in farming activities, improved understanding of natural phenomena, and heightened empathy and environmental care. Novelty: This study highlights a unique integration of deep learning–based instruction within the farming method, where learning activities are deliberately structured to promote conceptual understanding, active meaning-making, reflection, and the application of knowledge, core principles of deep learning pedagogy. By aligning experiential farming activities with these instructional components, the approach goes beyond routine hands-on learning and supports children in connecting natural phenomena with prior knowledge, reasoning, and environmental values. This integration offers an innovative and theoretically grounded strategy to cultivate naturalistic intelligence in early childhood settings, providing a practical model for teachers seeking meaningful experiential learning that fosters cognitive depth and environmental awareness.

Abstract

Objective: In modern education, assessment is often considered a tool to measure student learning outcomes. However, this approach often ignores the processes students go through to achieve these outcomes. This study aims to explore the impact of implementing process-based assessment in sixth-grade learning, specifically on enhancing students' abilities in communication, teamwork, and critical analysis. The approach taken in this research is a qualitative descriptive technique approach, involving data collection through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results show that the implementation of process-based assessment significantly increased students' active participation, which was reflected in their confidence when expressing ideas and contributing in groups. This study highlights an innovative shift towards process-oriented assessment, advocating for an educational paradigm that recognizes students' individual needs and promotes meaningful learning experiences. Recommendations for educators include designing inclusive assessment strategies and providing constructive feedback to foster important skills in early childhood students, ultimately improving educational outcomes in elementary schools.

Abstract

Objective: This study analyzes the implementation of religious humanistic learning in Islamic Religious Education at Pesat Senior High School Bogor as a response to emerging dehumanization issues in Indonesian education, aiming to explain the concept, identify applied strategies, and evaluate the implications for students’ holistic development. Method: Using a qualitative case study approach through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation analysis, the data were triangulated to enhance validity and capture the real dynamics of religious humanistic learning practices. Results: The findings show that religious humanistic learning strengthens cognitive, affective, and psychomotor outcomes, with improved academic performance, evidenced by an average Islamic Religious Education score of 94. Teachers implement empathetic dialogue, contextual instruction, and value internalization to cultivate critical thinking, spirituality, and ethical behavior, while the school integrates religious habituation, digital ethics guidance, birrul walidain programs, and scholarship initiatives to support these goals. Twenty-first-century skills are enhanced through project-based learning, the Pesat Research Community, edufairs, and talent classes, preparing students to face global challenges creatively, independently, and responsibly in the future. Novelty: This study presents a comprehensive model of religious humanistic learning that integrates spiritual formation, ethical digital culture, parental devotion programs, and research-based activities, offering new insights into the alignment of humanistic pedagogy with Islamic educational values in the Indonesian secondary school context.

Abstract

Objective: To examine whether the English for Nursing Program (ENP) at STIKes Banyuwangi really supports students’ clinical communication needs and is consistent with the institution’s vision to prepare nurses who can compete internationally. Methods: A mixed-method approach was used by applying the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model developed by Daniel L. Stufflebeam. Data were collected from 32 nursing students, 2 ENP lecturers, the Head of the Nursing Study Program, 3 alumni, and 2 clinical instructors through questionnaires, interviews, document analysis, and classroom observation, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results: The ENP goals are in line with institutional aims and national nursing standards, but the support in practice is still limited because English is only offered as a 2-credit subject in one semester. Most students rate their general English as intermediate, with listening and speaking as their weakest skills, and alumni describe their post‑ENP English as only enough for simple tasks, not for sudden or complex clinical interactions. The syllabus already includes basic nursing terms and simple nurse–patient conversations, and most students achieve good scores in conversation and presentation. However, there is still not enough time and exposure to practice more complex and authentic tasks, such as handovers or emergency scenarios. Novelty: This research applies the CIPP model in an ESP context to link ENP evaluation with real communication demands in clinical settings, not only exam scores, and offers practical suggestions such as increasing contact hours, adding realistic simulations and varied listening input, and enhancing cooperation between English lecturers and clinical instructors

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to develop a mediated model that elucidates the relationship between entrepreneurship education and business performance. Methods: In this study, entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial marketing were employed as mediators, while environmental competitiveness and bird-in-hand principles were used as moderators. The data were collected from 326 respondents who had completed four semesters of entrepreneurship education and who owned MSMEs, achieving a 98.7% response rate. The relationships were analysed through the implementation of structural equation modelling. Results: The impact of entrepreneurship education on business performance was not direct; however, it exerted a positive influence on entrepreneurial orientation, as evidenced by the findings of the study. Consequently, this dynamic shift has led to a notable enhancement in the realm of entrepreneurial marketing, thereby contributing to an observed improvement in business performance. The study's findings indicated that environmental competitiveness did not moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial marketing and business performance. Furthermore, the bird-in-hand principle did not demonstrate a moderating effect. Novelty: The novelty statement is particularly strong, positioning the "sequential mediation pathway" as the "missing link" that resolves conflicting results in existing entrepreneurship education literature. It introduces a unique mediated framework where entrepreneurial orientation and marketing serve as the primary drivers. Unlike previous studies that yielded contradictory outcomes, this study demonstrates that these discovered mechanisms are the 'missing links' that determine the success or failure of education-led interventions in MSME performance.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL)–based Student Worksheet (LKPD) assisted by Wordwall media on the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students in science learning, focusing on the aspects of focus, reason, and inference. Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the research involved an experimental group using PBL-based LKPD with Wordwall and a control group receiving conventional instruction. Data were collected through tests, observations, interviews, and documentation, while instrument validation included expert judgment, Aiken’s V analysis, reliability testing, empirical validation, item difficulty, and discrimination analysis. The prerequisite normality and homogeneity tests indicated non-normal and non-homogeneous data, leading to the use of nonparametric statistical analyses. The Mann–Whitney test results showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups across all three aspects of critical thinking, with Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05. N-Gain scores demonstrated high effectiveness in the experimental group (Focus = 96.70%, Reason = 87.90%, Inference = 79.30%), whereas the control group showed only moderate improvement. Correlation analysis using Spearman’s rank test further revealed very strong correlations among the Focus, Reason, and Inference dimensions. The findings conclude that the PBL-based LKPD assisted by Wordwall media is effective in improving students’ critical thinking skills and supports more engaging, interactive, and student-centered science learning in elementary classrooms.

Abstract

Objective:The integration of technology in English language teaching, particularly in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), has transformed classroom practices in higher education. However, students often face difficulties in speaking English fluently within their specialized subjects. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PowerPoint (PPT) as a medium to enhance students’ speaking skills through oral presentations, with a focus on ESP for Business Law, an area that has received limited empirical attention. Method : This research used qualitative approach. Data were collected via observations, questionnaires, and documentation from 48 students enrolled in an English for Business Law course. Results: Findings revealed that (1) PPT effectively supports students in improving their oral communication skills, and (2) students’ speaking performance increased after conducting group presentations using PPT. Novelty: The study’s contribution lies in demonstrating how structured PPT-based presentations can enhance subject-specific oral proficiency in ESP classrooms. These results suggest that lecturers and students should consider integrating PPT in oral presentations to promote language development and engagement in higher education settings.
