Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of public participation in the 2024 Regional Head and Deputy Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) of Kutai Kartanegara Regency, addressing the core problem of fluctuating voter engagement and the factors that shape citizens' willingness to participate in both the main election and the mandated revote (PSU). The objective of this research is to analyze the level of public participation and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing voter behavior, particularly in relation to the implementation of KPU Regulation No. 9 of 2022 and the use of local wisdom-based outreach strategies. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results show that the principles outlined in PKPU No. 9 of 2022, especially those pertaining to public engagement, have been effectively implemented through collaborative, adaptive, and culturally grounded socialization efforts that improve political understanding. Supporting factors of participation include political awareness, civic responsibility, emotional proximity to candidates, and pragmatic motivations such as money politics. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include political apathy, distrust in the political system, limited knowledge of candidates, limited time for socialization, geographical barriers, natural disasters, and limited understanding of the PSU mechanism. Overall, public participation in both the Pilkada and the PSU in Kutai Kartanegara reflects a dynamic interaction between enthusiasm and structural and cultural constraints, forming a complex landscape of idealistic and pragmatic voter motivations.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of implementing a game method in learning integers. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group. The sampling technique was random, and the class equivalence test employed a one-way ANOVA. Sampling used a cluster random sampling technique. The data collection technique employed a test method consisting of essay questions in the high-level thinking category. These questions were found to be valid, with a reliability coefficient of 0.75, which falls in the high category. The data analysis employed an independent t-test at a significance level of 0.05, preceded by a prerequisite test of data normality and homogeneity of variance. The results of the study showed that the application of the interactive game method can improve learning outcomes in integer arithmetic operations, which is also indicated by: (1) students are enthusiastic and involved in following the lesson. (2) active student participation increases, (3) learning is more meaningful, and (4) building very positive team collaboration.

Abstract

This quantitative study aimed to examine the simultaneous and partial effects of self-efficacy and gender on mathematics learning outcomes related to circle equations among high school students. Employing a multiple regression design, the research involved 139 twelfth-grade students from SMA Negeri 7 Tambun Selatan, selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected through a self-efficacy questionnaire analyzed using the Successive Interval Method and an essay-based test for learning outcomes. Multiple regression analysis, after fulfilling classical assumptions, revealed that self-efficacy and gender significantly influenced learning outcomes simultaneously (F = 1025, p < 0.00). Partially, self-efficacy emerged as a significant predictor, with a positive coefficient (β = 0.585, t = 5.969, p < 0.001), indicating that higher self-efficacy is associated with improved cognitive achievement. Conversely, gender showed no significant partial effect (p > 0.05). Additional correlation analysis indicated a stronger relationship between self-efficacy and learning outcomes in male students (  = 0.545) compared to female students (  = 0.348). Nonetheless, self-efficacy remained the primary explanatory factor for cognitive achievement in both groups. These findings underscore the dominant role of self-efficacy as the key determinant of success in learning circle equations, surpassing the influence of gender.

Abstract

Learning difficulties in understanding and achieving success in mathematics were identified among students, including dyscalculia, a condition characterized by an inability to perform arithmetic due to disturbances in the central nervous system. This learning disorder results in a less optimal process of constructing knowledge. This study aims to analyze the process skills of students with dyscalculia in constructing ethnomathematics-based knowledge. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, in which data were collected from ethnomathematics-based test items and interviews. The study was conducted at a Special School (SLB) in Jambi City with 2 students with dyscalculia. The findings show that dyscalculic students' process skills have not been fully optimal across most skill indicators. The use of ethnomathematics-based test items only assisted students with counting activities. Both students demonstrated assimilation in the observing and counting stages, but failed to determine relationships between the problem and prior information. In the stages of classifying, collecting, and analyzing data, predicting, measuring, and interpreting data, most activities were carried out through accommodation. Additionally, both students were unable to conduct experiments and communicate their results independently. Overall, students with dyscalculia relied more on accommodation in their thinking.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the victimological impact of the wrongful arrest case involving Pegi Setiawan in the murder of Vina and Eky, as well as its influence on investigative practices and the use of evidence in the criminal justice system in Indonesia. The case drew national attention because it revealed structural weaknesses in law enforcement processes, particularly concerning the haste in naming suspects, the lack of evidence verification, and the suboptimal protection of suspects' rights. This study aims to analyze the forms of victimization experienced by the wrongfully arrested victim, evaluate the factors causing procedural errors in investigations, and identify the implications for the legitimacy of the criminal justice system. Using a juridical-normative approach and case study analysis, this study found that Pegi suffered psychological, social, and economic losses, as well as prolonged stigma due to the mistakes of law enforcement officials. Furthermore, this case demonstrates a discrepancy between the ideal standards of investigation and field practice, including officers' weak objectivity, professionalism, and accountability in assessing evidence. This study concludes that the Pegi Setiawan case reflects the need for deep reforms through strengthening oversight mechanisms, enhancing investigator capacity, and reinforcing.
