Abstract

The aim of this research focuses on digital literacy, which has a broad influence on students' political participation and helps create movements for change in response to policies directed at the public. The method used includes a literature review and a qualitative approach. In addition, to strengthen the theoretical basis and arguments, a second method is applied through direct interviews, aiming to build a comprehensive understanding of how digital literacy works and how students participate in responding to public policy. The findings show that there are many opportunities, such as using social media, expressing aspirations, and critically examining various information. However, the digital era also presents challenges that require students to improve their digital literacy, especially in relation to political issues. As the future of the next generation, students are expected to have political activity and criticism of the policy. In addition, it is been brought into the light the role of the digital literacy both in reflection and in deeping the reflections on the responsibility of fitting the course of the digital progression that is being designed by the digital literacy.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of fishermen in preserving the environment in Muara Sukalila, Cirebon City. As a coastal community group that relies directly on marine resources, fishermen have a vital interest in maintaining the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems. This research employed a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that fishermen in Muara Sukalila are actively involved in various environmental conservation practices, such as avoiding the use of destructive fishing gear, cleaning up waste around the estuary, and maintaining catch limits to prevent overfishing. Additionally, local wisdom plays a significant role in fostering ecological awareness in the fishermen’s daily lives, including prohibitions against dumping waste into the sea and communal efforts to maintain environmental cleanliness. However, challenges such as limited government support, industrial waste pollution, and climate change continue to pose serious obstacles. Therefore, collaboration among fishermen, the government, and the wider community is essential to strengthen sustainable efforts in coastal environmental preservation.

Abstract

During the 2024-2025 academic year, Grade X of SMK NU Sukagumiwang students showed poor writing performance when composing anecdote texts, mainly due to their lack of interest in writing. To improve this situation, a study implemented the mind mapping model as a teaching strategy to enhance the students' ability to write anecdotes effectively. The study was aimed to assess the impact of the mind mapping model on Grade X students’ anecdote writing skills at SMK NU Sukagumiwang during the 2024–2025 academic year and to examine their level of engagement with this learning approach. This study uses a nonequivalent control group design experimental model. The research population is all grade X students of SMK NU Sukagumiwang Academic Year 2024/2025. The study applied a saturated sampling technique, assigning Class X TKJ with 20 students as the experimental group and Class X TKRO with 20 students as the control group. Research instruments included written tests and observation sheets. Statistical evaluation via the independent samples t-test yielded a t-statistic of 15.962, surpassing the t-table value of 1.686. This outcome confirms that the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted. Accordingly, the results demonstrate that the implementation of the mind mapping model effectively supports the development of anecdote writing skills among grade X students. As such, it is proven that the application of the mind mapping model can increase student activeness in the learning process of anecdote texts for grade X students of SMK NU Sukagumiwang Academic Year 2024/2025.

Abstract

A fundamental issue in the educational ecosystem is the assessment of learning outcomes. In preparing teachers for the Teacher Professional Education Competency Test (UKPPPG), tryout tests serve as strategic instruments. For the Marketing Education Program, these test items must reflect required pedagogical and professional competencies, particularly Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), which integrates content mastery with teaching strategies. This study aims to analyze the quality of tryout test items based on PCK in preparing Marketing Education Program teachers for the UKPPPG. Using a quantitative-descriptive approach with 108 participants (36 male; 72 female), data were analyzed with SPSS 31, focusing on item validity (point-biserial correlation), reliability (Cronbach's α), discrimination index (D), difficulty level (p), and distractor effectiveness. Results indicate sufficient reliability (α = 0.760), though item quality varied: some items were valid, marginal, or invalid—particularly weak in early indicators. Discrimination indices were mostly "fair," with several items rated "good" (D ≥ 0.40) suitable for retention, while "poor" items (D < 0.20) require revision or replacement. The difficulty distribution was unbalanced for summative testing (easy 34%, medium 37%, difficult 29%), suggesting dominance of easy items that reduce discrimination. Distractor analysis revealed an average of 2–3 functioning distractors per item (66%), though some were implausible and required revision. The implications highlight the need for systematic selection and revision of items (stem, key, and distractors), rebalancing difficulty levels, and repeated pilot testing to ensure the instrument achieves higher validity, reliability, and representativeness of PCK-based teacher competencies in 21st-century marketing education.

Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) exert a substantial influence on enhancing students’ academic competencies in Bangladesh. The primary aim of this inquiry is to ascertain undergraduate learners’ viewpoints regarding the deployment of ICT in their studies. In addition, the investigation explores the hindrances that may obstruct the optimal integration of ICT within higher education from the students’ perspective. A survey-based methodology was employed, adopting a quantitative orientation. The study utilized both primary and secondary sources of evidence. For the primary data, an online questionnaire was disseminated to undergraduate students of CCN University of Science and Technology across four designated departments. A total of 120 students enrolled in the Fall 2025 semester participated in the survey. Data collection was executed through a stratified random sampling procedure. The results indicated that students devoted considerable time to utilizing ICT for educational purposes and expressed favorable attitudes toward its application in learning. They acknowledged that ICT significantly contributes to the refinement of their academic abilities; however, they also encountered numerous impediments in classroom usage, such as insufficient training opportunities, technical malfunctions, inadequate user assistance, elevated cost of technological tools, unreliable internet connectivity or infrastructural deficits, concerns over privacy and data protection, and restricted campus internet access. Ultimately, the study proposes several recommendations for higher education administrators and policymakers to facilitate the effective adoption and expansion of ICT in the years ahead. Furthermore, Respondents expected the campus to be able to supply each classroom with suitable equipment and ICT connectivity to enhance the learning process.

Abstract

Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education Regulation No. 9 of 2025 introduces the Academic Ability Test (TKA) as a standard evaluation instrument. Its implementation in Vocational High Schools (SMK), which focus on practical competencies and work readiness, raises the potential for conflict. This study aims to analyse the potential impact and challenges of implementing the TKA in SMKs and its implications for vocational pedagogy. The research method used a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach with a literature review. A policy implementation diagnostic framework and a conflict-ambiguity typology model were used to assess the compatibility between the TKA and the objectives of vocational education. The results of the analysis shed light that there is a dissonance between the academic focus of TKA and the competency-based philosophy of SMK. Implementation challenges are predicted to be systemic, including obstacles related to policy standards, resource availability, and implementer disposition. In addition, at the school level, covert resistance and strategic adaptation to protect the identity of vocational pedagogy are likely to emerge. This policy is categorised as ‘Political Implementation,’ where formal compliance may occur, but actual practice in the field adapts to the needs and characteristics of vocational schools. It can therefore be concluded that the application of standard academic evaluation in vocational schools risks weakening vocational pedagogy and may compromise the core mission of vocational education.

Abstract

This research examines the internalization of honesty as a Christian ethical value among Christian students through a literature study approach. The phenomenon of declining academic integrity in higher education highlights an urgent need for character formation grounded in honesty values, particularly within Christian higher education contexts. The purpose of this research is to describe the concept of honesty in Christian ethics perspective, elaborate the process of honesty value internalization, and identify supporting and hindering factors. The method used is qualitative literature study with content analysis on academic sources from the 2020-2025 period. The study results show that honesty in Christian ethics is not merely moral behavior, but a reflection of character formed through relationship with Christ. The internalization process involves cognitive, affective, and behavioral stages that are strengthened by personal spirituality, contextual religious education, and supportive social environment. However, challenges such as normalization of academic cheating, achievement pressure, and digital culture become major obstacles. This research recommends an integrative model involving family, campus, church, and spiritual community in Christian student character formation. The implications of this research for higher education practice include developing integrative character education curriculum, strengthening lecturers’ role as moral mentors, forming a learning ecosystem that supports honesty value internalization, and multi-stakeholder collaboration in student character formation.
