Abstract

In the context of globalization, the main challenge for PAK education is how to form graduates who not only have a strong theological understanding, but also adequate social sensitivity and intercultural abilities. Meanwhile, in the context of multiculturalism, PAK higher education is required to open a space for dialogue with the diversity of beliefs and cultural values that live in society. The transformative higher education of PAK produces not only ecclesiastical educators or ministers, but also agents of social change capable of bridging the Christian faith with the challenges of the contemporary world. The method used in this study is a qualitative study based on the study of theological and educational literature. This study emphasizes that PAK higher education must continue to move in a contextual, reflective, and transformative direction in order to remain relevant and meaningful in its encounter with a pluralistic global reality.

Abstract

Permendikbudristek No. 41 of 2021 concerning Recognition of Past Learning (RPL) is a strategic breakthrough in recognizing non-formal and informal learning experiences as learning achievements. This policy reflects a new paradigm of education that is inclusive, fair and flexible. This article aims to analyze the content, objectives, and implications of this law by emphasizing the opportunities and challenges in its implementation. In the context of Christian education, RPL opens up opportunities for the integration of ecclesial service experiences and faith-based learning into formal academic recognition. This strengthens the contextual approach and expands access to higher education for ministers and congregations. However, challenges such as standardization of assessments, institutional readiness, and understanding the concept of RPL still need to be addressed. This study uses qualitative methods and aims to contribute to relevant and transformative Christian education systems and practices.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of community empowerment and ecotourism as an innovative approach to developing Bukit Tawap Tourism Village. Key problems include low community participation, poor environmental conservation, and limited stakeholder collaboration. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach using Scheyvens’ (2018) empowerment theory, covering economic, psychological, social, and political dimensions. Data were collected through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Findings show that ecotourism has enhanced income, self-confidence, social cohesion, and political participation. However, challenges remain, such as unequal distribution of economic benefits, low community motivation, and limited access to information. The study recommends increasing inclusivity of economic benefits, community training, and transparent resource management. By addressing these challenges, Bukit Tawap Tourism Village has the potential to become a sustainable, innovative, and inclusive model for rural tourism development.

Abstract

This research explores tropical villa design approaches in Bali, focusing on space efficiency, thermal comfort, and the application of local wisdom within Indonesia’s tropical climate. Between 2020 and 2025, the growth of tourism and property industries in Bali has significantly increased, often leading to villa designs that overlook local sustainability principles. This study uses a qualitative approach through case studies and literature review of tropical villas that successfully integrate these principles. Data was collected through field observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that design approaches emphasizing space efficiency, local materials, and Balinese architectural elements can enhance thermal comfort while reinforcing local identity in tropical villa design.

Abstract

The implementation of hospital accreditation often primarily focuses on administrative compliance, frequently overlooking the crucial need for organizational culture shifts that foster continuous service quality. At RSUD Prabumulih, for instance, accreditation is still largely perceived as a short-term project rather than a catalyst for cultural transformation. This research utilizes Transformational Leadership Theory (Bass & Avolio, 1994) and Organizational Culture theory (Robbins, 2006) to analyze the interaction between leadership and culture in achieving accreditation. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document review, and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques (Miles & Huberman, 1994).The findings indicate that transformational leadership (manifested through role modeling, motivation,intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration) plays a crucial role in building a collaborative and quality-oriented organizational culture, thereby driving accreditation success.

Abstract

Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in his or her ability to complete tasks or face certain situations. This concept was introduced by Albert Bandura through social-cognitive theory and has become one of the important indicators in determining individual success. Self-efficacy has been shown to have a significant influence on performance in various contexts, such as education, organization, and social life. This article aims to examine the concept of self-efficacy from Bandura's perspective, analyze its influence on individual performance, and present practical implications for the world of education and work. The results of the study show that individuals with high levels of self-efficacy tend to be more motivated, able to manage stress, and show better performance. Understanding the factors that shape self-efficacy, such as success experiences, modeling, verbal persuasion, and physiological conditions, is important for sustainable self-capacity development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the stability of imported commodity prices in Indonesia, by focusing on the dynamics of the relationship between the rupiah exchange rate and the price of imported commodities in a certain period. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis methods to see the causal relationship between exchange rate fluctuations and imported commodity prices. The secondary data used includes the exchange rate of the rupiah against the US dollar and the prices of several strategic imported commodities such as food, energy, and other consumer goods, collected from official sources such as Bank Indonesia and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results show that exchange rate fluctuations have a significant influence on changes in imported commodity prices, where depreciation of the rupiah exchange rate tends to cause an increase in the price of imported commodities, while appreciation of the exchange rate tends to reduce the price of these commodities.
