Abstract

Pastoral program planning is a critical function in Roman Catholic parishes; however, many rely on subjective judgment and manual scoring, resulting in inconsistent prioritization of programs. This study aims to design, implement, and evaluate a web-based Decision Support System (DSS) integrated with the Santa Veronika Kaiwatu Parish information system, using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to optimize pastoral program selection. The system evaluates twelve program alternatives across six criteria: spiritual impact, community reach, resource availability, urgency, sustainability, and administrative feasibility. The methodology includes database integration, PHP-based SAW computation, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with fifteen parish staff and council members. Results indicate zero deviation in SAW calculations compared to manual reference scores, confirming computational accuracy. Performance testing shows response times under 1.2 seconds for up to twenty alternatives, validating system efficiency. UAT results demonstrate high user satisfaction (mean score 4.31/5), highlighting ease of use, interface clarity, and transparency in ranking results. These findings suggest that the integrated DSS effectively enhances decision-making, resource allocation, and stakeholder confidence in program prioritization. In conclusion, the SAW-based DSS provides a replicable model for parish administration. Future research may explore advanced multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques and predictive analytics to further improve planning accuracy and scalability in multi-parish contexts.

Abstract

Environmental issues have become a growing global concern, making it essential to instill environmental awareness and collaboration skills in students from an early age. However, preliminary observations in several elementary schools in Kalimanah District, Purbalingga, revealed that science and social studies learning (IPAS) is still dominated by lecture-based methods, resulting in low student engagement, limited environmental awareness, and underdeveloped collaboration skills. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on environmental awareness and collaboration skills among fourth-grade elementary school students. The research employed a quantitative approach involving 60 fourth-grade students in Kalimanah District, Purbalingga, divided into an experimental group (PBL) and a control group (expository learning). Data were collected through environmental awareness questionnaires and collaboration skills observation sheets and analyzed using inferential statistics, including independent-sample t-tests and correlation analysis. The findings showed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher environmental awareness and improved collaboration skills compared to the control group. All indicators of environmental awareness—such as maintaining classroom and school cleanliness, caring for plants, supporting green programs, managing organic and non-organic waste, and maintaining sanitation facilities—improved substantially under the PBL model. Furthermore, active group interaction during PBL activities facilitated the development of collaboration skills, including shared responsibility, communication, and joint problem-solving. These results indicate that PBL effectively enhances students’ environmental attitudes and collaborative competencies through hands-on, contextualized, and meaningful learning experiences, offering both theoretical and practical implications for elementary science and social studies education.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of government political communication with digital media platforms, focusing on the role of homeless media accounts and counter-narratives in shaping public perceptions. The research highlights how government programs, traditionally delivered through formal and bureaucratic channels, are now repackaged into digital content such as short videos, infographics, memes, and pop culture elements to align with social media algorithms. Using a case study of 40 homeless media accounts announced under INMF, this study analyzes how 27 of these accounts provide counter-narratives “statements of attitude” to quickly influence public discourse, generate speculation, and challenge dominant narratives. The findings reveal that immediacy, diversity of cues (visual, audio, textual), multilingual communication (Indonesian and English), and direct personal interactions are key factors enhancing audience engagement and political communication effectiveness. From a programmable politics perspective, these results illustrate the government’s increasing reliance on platform mechanisms and digital engagement logic, emphasizing the shift from top-down, bureaucratic communication to participatory, digitally mediated communication. The study contributes to understanding how digital media reshapes political communication, public perception management, and symbolic resistance through social media, providing practical insights for government communication strategies in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the “Sekolahku Pesantrenku” program in shaping the religious character of elementary school students. The background of this research is the increasing concern over moral degradation among students in the 21st century, which requires schools to strengthen character education through structured religious habituation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation process of the program, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine its impact on students’ religious character development. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design conducted at SD Negeri 1 Karangmangu. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving teachers, students, and parents. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the program is implemented through daily, weekly, and integrated curriculum activities such as congregational prayers, *Qur’an* recitation, memorization of short *s?rahs*, and moral habituation. The findings indicate that the program significantly improves students’ discipline, worship habits, moral behavior, and social attitudes. Supporting factors include teacher role modeling, parental involvement, and school commitment, while challenges include differences in student abilities and limited time allocation. In conclusion, the *“Sekolahku Pesantrenku”* program effectively strengthens students’ religious character through continuous habituation and integrated learning practices, although improvements in monitoring and consistency are still needed to maximize its impact.

Abstract

Criminal law enforcement traditionally emphasizes punitive measures, often neglecting the needs of victims and the broader social community. In Indonesia, this approach has led to insufficient attention to victim restitution, perpetrator accountability, and social harmony. This study aims to analyze the position of restorative justice within Indonesian criminal law, assess the alignment of the National Criminal Code with restorative principles, and propose a synchronization model to ensure effective and equitable implementation. A normative legal research design was employed, utilizing primary legal materials, including Law Number 1 of 2023, Peraturan Jaksa (Prosecutor's Regulation) Number 15 of 2020, and Peraturan Kepolisian (Police Regulation) Number 8 of 2021. Secondary materials consisted of scholarly articles, books, and international guidelines on restorative justice. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis to interpret legal norms, compare institutional arrangements, and identify gaps in procedural standards. The findings reveal that while Indonesian regulations have incorporated restorative principles, implementation remains fragmented, with varying standards across police, prosecutors, and courts. Restorative justice can enhance victim protection, encourage perpetrator accountability, and restore social balance, but requires clear normative boundaries, procedural safeguards, and institutional oversight. The study concludes that a synchronized model integrating case selection, victim protection, perpetrator accountability, and alignment with the Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (National Criminal Code) can facilitate consistent, legally sound, and socially responsive criminal justice practices in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study addresses the increasing prevalence of broken homes and their multifaceted impacts on children and family systems. Globally and in Indonesia, high divorce and separation rates have raised concerns about children's psychological, educational, and social development. The study aims to explore broken homes from philosophical perspectives—ontology, epistemology, and axiology—to provide a holistic understanding of their effects and implications for counseling and family support. A qualitative literature review was conducted, analyzing national and international academic journals, books, theses, and proceedings related to family disruption, child development, and guidance counseling. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 50–70 relevant sources, and data were extracted using a structured template, ensuring validity through expert review and reliability via cross-checking and consensus. NVivo 12 software facilitated thematic coding and analysis, linking observed phenomena to structural, cognitive, and value-based dimensions. The findings indicate that broken homes disrupt family structures (ontology), shape children's knowledge and perceptions of relationships (epistemology), and affect ethical and value frameworks (axiology). Children often experience insecurity, loneliness, and emotional challenges, although resilience and positive adaptation can occur with proper guidance. The study concludes that philosophical perspectives enrich understanding of broken homes and recommends future empirical and longitudinal research to develop effective interventions that support children's well-being, resilience, and ethical development.

Abstract

The life insurance industry in Indonesia continues to grow significantly but faces persistent challenges related to low public trust, largely due to claim disputes and insurance company bankruptcies. Insurance agents play a crucial role as the primary link between companies and customers, where their relational behaviors and professional competence shape customer perceptions and loyalty. This study examined the effects of Customer Relationship Building Behavior (CRBB) and agent competence on customer trust, customer satisfaction, and renewal intention in the Indonesian life insurance industry, with agent competence representing the knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes of insurance agents. A quantitative survey was conducted with 237 life insurance policyholders in the Jabodetabek region and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results showed that approaching and common grounding had a positive effect on customer trust, while only communication had a positive effect on customer satisfaction. Agent competence had positive effects on both customer trust and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, customer trust enhanced customer satisfaction and renewal intention, while customer satisfaction was the strongest predictor of renewal intention. The study concluded that, in the Indonesian life insurance industry, agent competence is a key driver of customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty. These findings provide both theoretical contributions to relationship marketing literature and practical implications for insurance companies in developing agent training programs that emphasize technical competence and transparent communication. They also offer implications for regulators in strengthening professional certification requirements to reduce information asymmetry and enhance consumer protection.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of an audiovisual flashcard method to enhance beginner music students' applied understanding of figured bass. Figured bass, a core component of Western tonal music theory, is traditionally taught through written analysis, leaving students with limited auditory and practical integration. This gap often results in students recognizing notation visually but struggling to perform harmonically on an instrument. The study aimed to determine whether flashcards could bridge this gap, improve aural skills, and facilitate the practical application of harmonic theory. The research employed a qualitative action research approach involving 25 undergraduate music students at Pelita Harapan University, Class of 2025. Over six learning cycles, students used flashcards containing triads and seventh chords across major and minor scales. Observations, timing of student responses, and questionnaires were collected to evaluate performance and cognitive processing. Results indicate that the flashcard method significantly accelerated students' recognition and execution of figured bass. Students demonstrated improved accuracy, faster response times, and better harmonic internalization. However, some cognitive load challenges emerged with complex chords and inversions. The method also exposed gaps in foundational skills, guiding targeted interventions. In conclusion, audiovisual flashcards effectively transform abstract theoretical understanding into concrete performance skills, enhancing both cognitive and practical learning. Future research should explore digital interactive versions, cross-instrument application, and long-term retention to further optimize multimodal music pedagogy.

Abstract

Climate change has become a critical factor influencing financial and insurance sectors, particularly through physical risks affecting property assets. Indonesia, with its high exposure to hydrometeorological hazards, presents a unique context for analyzing the integration of physical risk into property insurance underwriting. This study aims to explore how physical risk is understood, assessed, and incorporated into the underwriting decision-making process at a national general insurance company, referred to as Company XYZ. A qualitative case-study approach was employed, combining primary data from in-depth interviews and written responses from ten cross-functional informants with secondary data from internal company documents, claims data, and annual reports from 2020–2025. Thematic analysis was used to interpret patterns in the data. Results indicate that physical risks, particularly floods and extreme weather, are recognized as major factors shaping underwriting decisions, with integration occurring across marketing, underwriting, reinsurance, risk engineering, and claims functions. While historical-data-based approaches dominate current practice, forward-looking assessments are increasingly considered necessary. The study concludes that effective incorporation of physical risk requires enhanced data quality, professional judgment, and advanced analytical tools to support adaptive and sustainable underwriting. Findings provide practical insights for insurance practitioners and contribute to understanding organizational responses to climate-related financial risks.

Abstract

Digital marketing has become an essential strategy for strengthening the competitiveness of micro, small, and medium enterprises, particularly rural food-based businesses that still depend on conventional marketing systems. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital marketing among marning SMEs in Bukit Barisan Village, Merigi District, by identifying adoption levels, inhibiting factors, and strategic business opportunities. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method through observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and mentoring activities involving marning business actors, with a specific focus on Sifa Rasa Shop. The analysis used the 7P marketing mix and SWOT approach to evaluate internal strengths, weaknesses, external opportunities, and threats. The results show that digital marketing adoption remains limited. Of 22 identified business actors, only 11 participated in training, seven were interested in mentoring, and only two implemented digital marketing through platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Shopee. Major barriers included low digital literacy, product legality and certification limitations, packaging problems, dependence on traditional sales, and limited managerial readiness. However, Sifa Rasa Shop demonstrated strong potential through product variety, competitive pricing, legality, attractive packaging, and marketplace utilization. In conclusion, digital marketing implementation is still transitional but promising when supported by structured training, mentoring, product legality, and continuous digital capacity building.
