Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study explores the strategic role of the tourism sector in reducing poverty and unemployment through local economic empowerment, particularly in underdeveloped and border regions of Indonesia. It underscores the importance of a multi-stakeholder collaboration—involving government, private sector, and communities—to address regional disparities, promote inclusive growth, and ensure long-term socio-economic sustainability. Methodology: The research adopts a descriptive-analytic method utilizing secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Ministry of Finance, and relevant literature. Through comparative data analysis and trend observation, the study evaluates the tourism sector’s impact on socio-economic indicators. Main Findings: The findings reveal that the tourism sector significantly contributes to poverty alleviation and employment creation, particularly through the development of nature- and culture-based tourism. A reduction in poverty from 9.71% in 2021 to 9.54% in 2022 suggests that empowerment initiatives are having a positive impact. However, regional disparities remain prominent, especially in Maluku and Papua, indicating the need for region-specific policies. The synergy among stakeholders plays a crucial role in fostering inclusive and sustainable growth. Novelty/Originality of the Study: This research offers a novel integrative framework positioning tourism not only as an economic driver but also as a tool for inclusive development, cultural preservation, and environmental sustainability. Unlike conventional studies focusing solely on economic growth, this study emphasizes the transformative power of tourism as a pillar of resilience-building and long-term poverty reduction in marginalized and remote areas, making it a critical component of national development policy.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: This study aims to analyze the impact of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the development of students’ responsibility character in Chemistry education, with a specific focus on the challenging topic of atomic structure among 11th-grade high school students. Amid increasing concerns about character education in STEM subjects, this study seeks to fill the gap by exploring how active learning models influence affective outcomes alongside cognitive achievement. Methodology: A mixed-methods explanatory design was employed, incorporating a quasi-experimental approach with pretest-posttest control groups. Quantitative data were collected through self-assessment questionnaires, peer evaluations, and teacher observation sheets, while qualitative insights were gathered via semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis of student reflections. The triangulation of data sources provided a comprehensive view of how PBL implementation affects student responsibility. Main Findings: The findings revealed that students in the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in their responsibility character compared to the control group. Higher posttest scores reflected positive behavioral changes in engagement, discipline, and task accountability during Chemistry learning activities. Qualitative data further supported that PBL encouraged students to take ownership of their learning process, collaborate effectively, and complete tasks with greater autonomy and diligence. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This research offers a novel perspective by applying PBL not only as a cognitive learning strategy but also as a tool for character development in complex Chemistry topics. It advances the understanding of integrative pedagogical models that simultaneously nurture academic proficiency and essential life skills, particularly responsibility, in secondary science education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the relationship between students’ attitudes and their motivation to study physics in vocational high schools. Recognizing that physics is often perceived as a difficult subject, this research seeks to understand how affective factors influence student engagement and achievement, particularly in vocational education settings where applied sciences are critical. Methodology: The study employs a quantitative descriptive design with a correlational approach, using validated questionnaires distributed to vocational students. To enrich the quantitative findings, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore students' perceptions more deeply based on specific indicators of attitude and motivation. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics, particularly Pearson correlation analysis. Main Findings: The results revealed that both students’ attitudes towards physics and their motivation to learn were generally in the “fairly good” category. A positive and significant correlation between the two variables was found, with a moderate Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.622, indicating that students with a more positive attitude tend to have higher motivation levels. This emphasizes the vital role of affective domains in supporting physics learning outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces a novel integrated analytical framework that merges quantitative correlation data with qualitative insights, providing a deeper understanding of the synergy between attitudes and motivation. Unlike previous research that often examined these factors independently, this study emphasizes their interrelated impact on vocational physics education, offering new directions for designing affective-based learning interventions aimed at improving student cognitive, affective, and psychomotor performance in technical fields.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: Islamic religious education (PAI) in Indonesia plays a pivotal role in nurturing the character, morality, and spirituality of the younger generation. Among the key institutions delivering PAI are Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), which integrate religious and general education within a unique cultural and educational framework. This study aims to critically analyze the implementation of the Islamic education curriculum in pesantren and to assess its impact on educational quality and relevance in a rapidly changing societal context. Methodology: Adopting a qualitative library research approach, this study systematically examines scholarly literature, policy documents, and prior research to explore curriculum practices in pesantren. The focus is on understanding both traditional and modern models of curriculum integration and the challenges faced in adapting Islamic education to contemporary educational standards. Main Findings: The study reveals that traditional pesantren, emphasizing classical religious sciences, often encounter difficulties integrating competency-based curriculum reforms demanded by modern education systems. Conversely, progressive pesantren that adopt competency-based frameworks exhibit significant improvements in educational quality, particularly in practical skills aligned with societal and workforce needs. However, the transition remains uneven and faces structural challenges. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This research offers a novel perspective by highlighting the tension between maintaining religious authenticity and pursuing educational modernization in pesantren. It proposes a strategic model for curriculum transformation supported by government policy, teacher capacity building, and infrastructural enhancement. This study contributes to reimagining Islamic boarding schools as dynamic institutions capable of preserving religious values while equipping students for global challenges.
