Abstract

The objective of this study is threefold: firstly, to analyse the implementation of agile governance in the application of Sisenso Mobile (Online Attendance Information System) in Klungkung Regency; secondly, to identify the factors that hinder its implementation; and thirdly, to examine the impacts generated by the system. The present study employed a qualitative approach, utilising a descriptive method. The present analysis was conducted based on George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory, which consists of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, as well as Luna et al.'s agile governance theory, which includes the principles of good enough governance, business-driven, human-focused, based on quick wins, systematic and adaptive approach, and simple design and continuous refinement. The findings indicate that the implementation of Sisenso Mobile has been relatively optimal. From the perspective of policy implementation, the indicators of communication, disposition, and bureaucratic structure have effectively supported policy implementation. Nevertheless, the resource indicator continues to encounter difficulties, primarily due to restricted funding for system development and the disparate distribution of internet infrastructure, particularly within the Nusa Penida Islands. From the perspective of agile governance, the implementation of all principles has been achieved through the adoption of adaptive and collaborative system development, orientated towards organisational needs and supported by mechanisms of continuous evaluation and refinement. The implementation has been shown to have a positive impact on the attendance discipline of civil servants and has encouraged the continuous enhancement of the Sisenso Mobile application, rendering it more adaptive and sustainable

Abstract

This study examines culturally grounded English interpretation as a strategic capability for sustainable tourism entrepreneurship in Lake Toba, Indonesia. Rather than viewing English merely as a translation or service-communication tool, the study conceptualises interpretation as a place-based entrepreneurial capability through which Batak cultural knowledge can be communicated to international tourists, transformed into innovative tourism experiences, and connected to locally retained value. An interpretive qualitative case-study design was employed. Participants were purposively selected from cultural custodians, traditional leaders, tourism entrepreneurs, tour guides, destination managers, community representatives, and tourists with direct experience of cultural tourism in the Lake Toba region. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, non-participant observation, and analysis of English-language tourism materials and digital content. Reflexive thematic analysis combined inductive and deductive coding. The findings show that literal translation may communicate visible elements of Batak heritage while failing to convey their historical, social, symbolic, spiritual, and relational meanings. Effective interpretation therefore requires community-based cultural co-creation to ensure authenticity, protect culturally sensitive knowledge, maintain local differentiation, and preserve community control over representation. The study identifies culturally grounded English capability as integrating cultural knowledge, communicative English, storytelling, intercultural sensitivity, digital competence, ethical judgement, and product-development awareness. These capabilities support opportunity recognition and innovation in guided experiences, workshops, homestays, geo-cultural trails, audio guides, and digital heritage content. The study proposes a process-oriented model linking community co-creation, interpretation, opportunity recognition, product innovation, local value creation, and sustainable tourism entrepreneurship.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) cooperative learning model assisted by Wordwall media on students' learning outcomes in biodiversity material, considering the low active involvement of students in conventional biology learning. The research uses an experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 33 students from class X at SMA Negeri 14 Gowa, selected through purposive sampling from a population of 360 students. The instrument used was a multiple-choice learning outcome test administered before and after the treatment, accompanied by a documentation study. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Paired Samples T-Test assisted by SPSS. The research results showed an increase in the average learning outcomes from 54.06 in the pretest to 80.97 in the posttest, with a t-test significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), thus H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. These findings prove that the TAI model assisted by Wordwall has a significant impact on improving students' learning outcomes. Practically, this model can be used as an alternative biology learning strategy that encourages student activity, collaboration, and motivation in the classroom.

Abstract

Geography education in high schools requires learning resources that link concepts to real-world phenomena. The Rammang-Rammang Karst area holds potential as a natural laboratory due to its diverse geospheric and socio-environmental phenomena. This study aims to analyze Rammang-Rammang's potential as a natural laboratory based on the characteristics of geospheric phenomena, the relevance of the subject matter, and student geographical activities. A qualitative descriptive method with an exploratory approach was employed, utilizing field observations and literature reviews. Analysis involved data reduction, categorization of geospheric components, interpretation, and mapping the connections between specific features and the learning curriculum. The results indicate that the karst formations, Stone Forest, caves, Pute River, Berua Village, agricultural lands, and vegetation are relevant to lithospheric dynamics, geomorphology, hydrology, the biosphere, and human-environment interactions. The area also fosters skills in observation, mapping, spatial interpretation, environmental analysis, and critical thinking. Rammang-Rammang can be developed into an authentic learning space through field studies, problem-based inquiry, and geospatial technology, while adhering to conservation principles

Abstract

The integration of indigenous knowledge into higher education is increasingly important for preserving cultural identity amid rapid digital transformation. This study examines the integration of the belis tradition of East Nusa Tenggara into digital learning and its relationship with students' cultural learning outcomes. Methods: A quantitative explanatory design was employed involving one hundred and fifty university students participating in digital learning activities incorporating belis-related materials. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire measuring digital learning quality, belis indigenous knowledge integration, digital literacy, and cultural learning outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. Results: The findings indicate that digital learning quality and belis indigenous knowledge integration positively and significantly predict cultural learning outcomes, whereas digital literacy does not have a significant partial effect. The regression model demonstrates that the predictors collectively provide a substantial explanation of variation in students' cultural learning outcomes. Conclusion: Integrating belis indigenous knowledge into well-designed digital learning can strengthen cultural learning and provide a meaningful approach to preserving, interpreting, and transmitting indigenous knowledge in higher education.
