Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of the village governance system in Indonesia within the context of decentralization following the enactment of Law Number 6 of 2014 on Villages. Although numerous studies have discussed village autonomy, fiscal decentralization, and Village Fund management, existing literature tends to focus on fragmented aspects such as financial accountability or leadership, without providing a comprehensive synthesis of institutional structure, authority distribution, participatory governance, and implementation challenges within a unified analytical framework. Therefore, this literature review is necessary to bridge this gap by offering an integrative analysis of how regulatory frameworks, institutional capacity, and socio-political dynamics interact in shaping village governance outcomes. Utilizing a qualitative literature study approach, this article analyzes legal documents, academic publications, and empirical research findings related to village governance. The findings indicate that while villages are normatively granted broad authority and increased fiscal resources, implementation remains constrained by weak administrative capacity, limited community participation, and persistent elite dominance. However, innovative practices such as administrative digitalization and transparency initiatives demonstrate significant potential when supported by strong leadership and institutional reform. This study concludes that strengthening village governance requires a holistic strategy that integrates regulatory refinement, differentiated institutional capacity development, participatory oversight mechanisms, and sustainable community empowerment..

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of global policies on gender equality on the formulation and implementation of education policies in Indonesia. Using a thematic narrative review approach, this study synthesizes academic literature, global policy documents, and national implementation reports to trace the relationship between international frameworks such as SDG 4.5 and UNESCO guidelines with gender-responsive policies at the national level and practices in schools. The analysis results show that although global policies have influenced the direction of national regulations, implementation at the school level is still uneven and does not fully reflect the principle of structural equality. Gaps exist in cultural aspects, teacher capacity, monitoring mechanisms, and the policy adaptation process. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the development of policy transfer studies in gender education and offers a conceptual model that can be used for further research and more effective policy formulation.

Abstract

Emotional factors are often considered crucial in influencing students’ success in English speaking activities, particularly in public speaking contexts. Emotional intelligence plays an important role in supporting students’ confidence and effectiveness in public speaking activities. This study aimed to examine the relationship between students’ emotional intelligence and their public speaking performance in English presentations. This research employed a quantitative correlational design involving 25 twelfth-grade students at SMAN 1 Mungka who were selected using total sampling. Data were collected through an emotional intelligence questionnaire and documentation of students’ public speaking performance scores. The questionnaire was validated using Aiken’s V through expert judgment and demonstrated acceptable reliability based on Cronbach’s Alpha. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis with the help of SPSS. The findings revealed that students generally showed a good level of emotional intelligence and moderate public speaking performance. The correlation analysis indicated a very strong and significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and public speaking performance (r = 0.956, p 0.01). These results suggest that emotional intelligence contributes to students’ success in delivering English presentations.

Abstract

Distance learning has been one way to provide accessible education across Indonesia's vast geographical area and dense population. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT with its free access, may have disrupted the reciprocal learning process between the tutor as an online lecturer and the students. This research involved 42 active tutors from the English Education Department at Universitas Terbuka (UT), the only open and distance learning university in Indonesia. With more than 650.000 students, the university relies heavily on online tutorials (Tuton), in which student-tutor interaction has been significantly influenced by the presence of ChatGPT. By gathering data through open and closed-ended questionnaires and analyzing it using a mixed-methods approach, the study revealed a contrast in perspectives among tutors, which the researchers refer to as a ‘paradox of perspective’. This condition presents with the fact that the tutors were struggling to identify the AI used, even though they seemed to show they could adjust to the situation. They also questioning the authenticity of students work yet unable to detect the ChatGPT intervention.  The finding might imply an urge for a distance learning institution like UT to address the issue. There are two major recommendations from the tutor by having a guideline for ChatGPT usage by the students and training for the tutor in dealing with the AI disruption.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the pattern of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in instilling the urgency of healthy food consumption in students at SD Negeri 14 South Pontianak. Islamic religious education at the elementary school level not only focuses on the formation of moral and religious character, but also integrates health values through the concept  of halalan thayyiban as part of Islamic teachings. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was obtained through observation of the PAI learning process, interviews with PAI teachers and students, and documentation of various school habituation programs. The results of the study show that PAI teachers apply an integrative learning pattern through strengthening material on halal food, thayyib, and eating manners in Islam. Teachers combine interactive lecture methods, discussions, examples, and habituation through the Healthy Canteen program, appeals to bring nutritious provisions, and supervision of snack consumption in the school environment. Students show an increased understanding of the characteristics of healthy food and begin to implement more selective eating behaviors. This study concludes that the pattern of PAI in SD Negeri 14 South Pontianak contributes significantly to fostering students' awareness of the importance of healthy food, both from a religious and physical health perspective, thereby supporting the formation of healthy character and lifestyle from elementary school age.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to empirically analyze the influence of self-discipline and peer environment on the academic achievement of junior high school students in Sepaku District, both partially and simultaneously, within the framework of integrating internal and external factors of adolescent development. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was used to test the influence of self-discipline and peer environment on students’ academic achievement through inferential statistical analysis. The study population consisted of 1,125 students, with a sample of 137 students determined using the Slovin formula at an 8% error rate. Data were collected through questionnaires, documentation, and observation, and then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that self-discipline has a positive and significant effect on the academic achievement of junior high school students in Sepaku District. Students’ ability to manage time, obey rules, and maintain consistency in learning plays an important role in improving academic performance. Conversely, the peer environment has a negative and significant effect, indicating that less supportive social interactions can reduce students’ focus, commitment, and learning outcomes. Simultaneously, these two variables contribute 52.0% to the variation in academic achievement, suggesting that learning success is influenced by the synergy of internal and external factors.

Abstract

Many partnerships between vocational high schools (SMK) and industry (DUDI) remain limited to formal administrative arrangements such as Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), without effective managerial governance. As a result, these collaborations often have limited impact on graduate employability. This study analyzes how managerial functions—planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling (POAC)—shape the effectiveness and sustainability of school–industry partnerships in Indonesia and proposes an adaptive partnership management model. This research employed a qualitative comparative multi-site design involving two private vocational schools in Mojokerto, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 27 key informants, supported by alumni data (n=87), participatory observations, and document analysis. Data validity was ensured through source and methodological triangulation. The findings reveal two partnership archetypes: (1) the Gradual Collaborative Model, characterized by value-based planning, formal structures, and institutionalized governance; and (2) the Adaptive Operational Model, which demonstrates strong operational flexibility but limited strategic documentation. Based on these findings, the study proposes an Adaptive-Strategic Partnership Model that integrates POAC managerial functions, collaborative governance principles, and outcome-based evaluation within a dynamic partnership cycle. The novelty of this research lies in reconceptualizing classical management theory in the context of inter-organizational educational partnerships and proposing a tiered DUDI engagement typology as a strategic instrument for strengthening vocational education governance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of principal supervision, principals’ pedagogical competence, and principals’ welfare on teacher performance in public junior high schools in Penajam Paser Utara Regency. A quantitative approach with an ex post facto causal design was applied. The population consisted of 447 teachers, and a sample of 212 teachers was selected using the Slovin formula with a 5% margin of error. Data were collected through structured questionnaires using a four-point Likert scale. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson Product Moment correlation, while reliability was measured using Cronbach’s Alpha. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression with SPSS version 22, following classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The findings indicate that principal supervision, principals’ pedagogical competence, and principals’ welfare each have a significant effect on teacher performance. Partially, principal supervision improves teachers’ professional performance through systematic and continuous academic guidance. Principals’ pedagogical competence also has a positive impact by strengthening instructional leadership and enhancing effective teaching practices. Additionally, principals’ welfare contributes positively by fostering a stable and supportive organizational climate. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect teacher performance (F = 220.970, p 0.05), demonstrating that the combination of supervision, competence, and welfare plays a crucial role in improving teacher performance. These results suggest that enhancing teacher performance requires an integrated approach that combines effective supervision, strong pedagogical leadership, and adequate welfare conditions. Strengthening these factors is essential to support sustainable improvements in the quality of education in public junior high schools.
