Abstract

Purpose of the study: In the context of the digital era, the transmission of moral values faces increasing challenges due to the dominance of globalized, visual, and fast-paced content. This study aims to explore how Gendang Bugis a traditional Bugis musical performance, functions as a medium of moral pedagogy when represented and recontextualized on digital platforms Methodology: This research adopts an exploratory qualitative approach, employing digital ethnographic techniques. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and content analysis of Gendang Bugis representations on social media platforms including YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Survey instruments: semi-structured interview guide and observation checklist. Main Findings: The main results indicate that digital performances of Gendang Bugis effectively transmit core moral values such as discipline, respect, solidarity, and cooperation. Senior performers act as moral role models, while youth audiences engage through affective and interactive virtual platforms. This online interaction fosters deeper value internalization. Moreover, digital platforms broaden access, promote intergenerational moral dialogue, and reinforce the pedagogical strength of traditional arts, even amid concerns over cultural authenticity and shifting modes of transmission in modern contexts Novelty/Originality of this study: This study presents a novel evaluative framework that integrates traditional performance pedagogy with digital ethnography. The results highlight the active role of digitalized traditional arts in moral education. It emphasizes the urgency of developing culturally grounded, digitally adaptive educational content and encourages the integration of traditional arts into both formal and informal education systems in a relevant and contextual manner.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to meticulously explore the moderating effect of financial literacy on the influence of neurotransmitters on investment bias. As a pioneering effort in behavioral finance, this research highlights cognitive and psychological aspects of investors, focusing specifically on female investors, and represents the first study to integrate financial literacy as a moderating variable in the context of neurotransmitter effects. Methodology: A quantitative approach was employed, targeting female stock investors in Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used alongside a semantic differential scale. Data were collected through the distribution of closed-ended questionnaires, preceded by instrument testing and a pre-survey. A total of 581 respondents participated, and data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Main Findings: The main findings reveal that financial literacy negatively affects investment bias, indicating that greater financial knowledge tends to reduce behavioral bias. However, even financially literate individuals may still exhibit bias. Furthermore, neurotransmitter activity shows a significant positive effect on investment bias, suggesting that biological factors amplify biased decision-making. Importantly, financial literacy significantly moderates this relationship in a negative direction, meaning that higher levels of financial understanding weaken the influence of neurotransmitters on investment bias. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research contributes novel insights to the development of behavioral finance theory by introducing financial literacy as a moderating factor in the biological–psychological pathway influencing investment behavior. The practical implications highlight the critical role of financial education in reducing behavioral biases in investment decision-making, especially among female investors.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The rapid advancement of digital technology demands strong digital competence, particularly among civil servants in educational institutions. This study aims to examine the influence of digital competence on civil servants’ performance, investigating both direct effects and indirect pathways through employee engagement and interpersonal communication. Methodology: A quantitative survey method was employed involving 150 civil servants working in public educational institutions in Riau, Indonesia. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Main Findings: The results indicate that digital competence has a significant positive impact on performance, both directly and indirectly. Employee engagement and interpersonal communication serve as effective mediators that enhance the relationship between digital competence and performance. The findings suggest that civil servants who possess strong digital skills, coupled with high engagement and effective interpersonal communication, demonstrate better job performance. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a novel contribution by integrating psychological (employee engagement) and relational (interpersonal communication) dimensions as mediators in the relationship between digital competence and performance. While previous studies have focused mainly on technological aspects, this research highlights the importance of human and social factors in driving performance in digitally transforming institutions. The implication of these findings points to the need for a more holistic approach to digital transformation policies in the public sector, where capacity building should not only address technical skills but also foster engagement and communication abilities among employees.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The study aims to comprehensively map the ability of BIPA students from Timor-Leste in writing biographical texts, while identifying their strengths and weaknesses in several key aspects: clarity of content, writing structure, creativity and language style, adherence to theme, and spelling and grammar accuracy. Methodology: Data were collected through a biographical writing task, which was assessed using a specially designed rubric. A mixed-method approach was applied: quantitative analysis was used to examine the distribution of ability levels across categories, while qualitative analysis explored detailed patterns of strengths and weaknesses for each aspect. Main Findings: The findings show that most students achieved a medium level for clarity of content (57.5%) and writing structure (60%). However, creativity (65% low) and spelling and grammar (52.5% low) emerged as the main challenges. Specific difficulties were identified in the formation of derived words, the use of temporal conjunctions, and the construction of complex sentences. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study places biographical writing as an instrument for diagnosing the writing skills of BIPA students in the sociolinguistic context of Timor-Leste, a domain that is rarely explored. This approach allows for a more detailed mapping of students’ strengths and weaknesses rather than just measuring final scores for pedagogical intervention. The implications suggest that BIPA teachers should prioritize fostering grammatical cohesion, enhancing creativity, and refining the reorientation section of biographical texts. The implementation of a scaffolding model progressing from guided examples to independent production is recommended to systematically develop students’ writing competence.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Basic Sciences courses by examining their effectiveness in developing 21st-century skills, particularly the 4Cs (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity). This evaluation aims to ensure that the courses not only measure knowledge but also assess essential competencies for future learning and work. Methodology: This study employed the CIPP (Context–Input–Process–Product) evaluation model. The evaluators developed and implemented a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model integrated with 4C competencies, abbreviated as PjBL4C. Data were collected through lesson plan analysis, pre-tests and post-tests for content knowledge and 4Cs, and performance assessments of communication and collaboration skills. Student satisfaction was also measured using a structured questionnaire. Main Findings: The implementation of the PjBL4C model in Basic Sciences courses showed a significant improvement in students’ achievement and 4C competencies. The number of students reaching the standard level increased based on pre-test and post-test results. At the end of the course, the evaluation successfully identified the overall 4C profiles of students categorized into three levels: below, approaching, and at standard. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces PjBL4C as an innovative instructional model that simultaneously develops and measures 4C skills in higher education. Additionally, the 4C assessment instrument was designed and aligned with the PjBL syntax, enabling accurate classification of students’ competencies across multiple skill domains.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the management of special health literacy services at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Medan and Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 2 Model Medan, focusing on four management functions: planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision. Methodology: Using a qualitative multisite case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving teachers, administrators, and students. Main Findings: The findings reveal that both madrasahs show a strong commitment to integrating health literacy into their educational practices; however, they differ in formalization and consistency. MAN 1 Medan exhibits a structured and well-documented planning process with clear coordination through the School Health Unit (UKS), whereas MAN 2 Model Medan relies on informal planning and teacher initiative. Implementation at both institutions includes curricular and extracurricular activities, but MAN 1 Medan demonstrates stronger institutional coordination. Supervision mechanisms are largely informal, lacking standardized evaluation systems. The study concludes that while collaborative practices between teachers, students, and external health institutions exist, formal frameworks and documentation are limited. Novelty/Originality of this study: The findings highlight the importance of developing structured systems, clear standard operating procedures, and formal evaluation mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of health literacy services in religious schools. This study contributes to filling the research gap on health literacy management in madrasahs, offering practical insights for policymakers and educators in promoting health education that aligns with religious and cultural contexts.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: School principals often face conflicts that undermine school climate and educational effectiveness, particularly in Indonesian educational settings where diverse stakeholders have competing interests. This study aims to examine the contribution of emotional intelligence and leadership style to the conflict management skills of school principals, particularly within the context of educational leadership in Muhammadiyah secondary schools. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the direct relationships among variables. The measurement instruments included an emotional intelligence scale based on Goleman's model, a leadership style scale grounded in situational leadership theory, and a conflict management skills scale adapted from the Thomas–Kilmann model. Main Findings: The results indicated that emotional intelligence (β = 0.531, p < 0.001) and leadership style (β = 0.309, p = 0.013) significantly contributed to conflict management skills, with emotional intelligence emerging as the stronger predictor. The research model demonstrated good fit (CFI = 0.95; RMSEA = 0.05) and accounted for 44.4% of the variance in conflict management skills. These findings highlight the importance of developing emotional intelligence–based leadership integrated with adaptive leadership styles to enhance conflict management effectiveness. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates the emotional intelligence model and situational leadership theory into a single conceptual framework, empirically tested within the Indonesian educational context, particularly in Muhammadiyah schools.
