Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in Sekolah Ramah Anak (SRA), a national child-friendly school program in Indonesia, identifying supporting and inhibiting factors at SDN Ngupasan and SDN Tegalrejo 2 in Yogyakarta City. The study used a qualitative approach with a multiple-case design. The research subjects included the principal, the school committee, and students. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis in this study used the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification. Data validity was verified through triangulation. The results showed that TQM has been implemented effectively through the principle of customer focus by accepting student and parent input, developing programs based on student interests and talents, involving all school members and related parties, and measuring quality through assessments, parent satisfaction surveys, and academic and non-academic achievement standards. The school's commitment is reflected in its vision, mission, short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals, as well as in continuous improvement based on measurement results. Supporting factors include active participation of the school community, cooperation between parents and related parties, the availability of child-friendly facilities and infrastructure, government support, funding, and training. Inhibiting factors include limited conceptual understanding, suboptimal parental support, limited facilities and funding, minimal training, resistance to change, bullying, and suboptimal data utilization. This research emphasizes the importance of TQM in creating SRA that are safe and comfortable for students.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component of English language learning. Nevertheless, many junior high school students encounter difficulties due to monotonous instructional methods. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Scramble Words technique on vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the study involved 61 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 7 Palu, who were divided into an experimental and a control group. Data were collected through a vocabulary pretest and posttest focusing on nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives. The experimental group was instructed using the Scramble Words technique, whereas the control group received conventional teaching. Based on the analysis, the experimental group showed superior gains in vocabulary mastery compared to the control group. This difference was statistically significant, as evidenced by the t-test, which showed that the calculated t-value exceeded the t-table value at the 0.05 level. These findings suggest that the scramble words technique is an effective and engaging approach for enhancing vocabulary mastery among junior high school students.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ethnoscience-based PjBL model in improving the understanding of Biotechnology concepts through a systematic literature review. The research method uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that follows the PRISMA standard, with data sources obtained from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases for the period 2013–2025. A total of 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using a bibliometric approach and qualitative thematic synthesis. The results of the study show that PjBL-Ethnosains consistently provides a significant improvement in the mastery of Biotechnology concepts across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Adaptive models such as CEL-BaDiS and CEL-BaDiS Up resulted in increased high-level thinking skills, including creativity and problem-solving, with gains reaching the medium-high category. In conclusion, Ethnoscience-based PjBL effectively strengthens understanding of Biotechnology concepts by integrating local cultural context into the scientific inquiry process. This study suggests developing a PjBL-Ethnoscience model with a more explicit syntax and rigorous experimental testing to produce a more comprehensive quantitative effect measure.

Abstract

Businesses in the tourism services industry must possess superior, competitive human resources due to increasingly intense competition. Employee performance plays a crucial role in business success, particularly in the service sector, which is highly dependent on service quality. This study aims to examine the effects of service competence, work motivation, and transformational leadership on employee performance at PT HAS Nawara Nusantara, with employee engagement serving as a mediating variable. This research employs a quantitative, survey-based approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to employees of PT HAS Nawara Nusantara who had worked at the company for at least 1 year. Both direct and indirect relationships among variables were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that employee engagement is positively and significantly influenced by service competence, work motivation, and transformational leadership. Furthermore, employee engagement has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, whereas service competence and work motivation do not have a significant direct effect on employee performance. Employee engagement serves as a mediating variable in the relationships among service competence, work motivation, transformational leadership, and employee performance. In conclusion, companies can implement human resource development strategies by enhancing service competence, strengthening work motivation, and applying transformational leadership to foster high and sustainable employee engagement.

Abstract

Urban ecological crises demand a citizenship approach that goes beyond normative compliance and emphasizes citizens' ecological responsibility in public spaces. In Bandung City, the achievement of green open space (GOS) in 2020 reached only 12.25% of the total city area, far below the minimum requirement of 30%. This issue is not only structural but also cultural, as reflected in low citizen participation and the dominant perception of parks merely as recreational spaces. This article analyzes how Bandung City residents construct the functions of GOS parks and the role of Civic Education (PKn) in fostering ecological citizenship through citizen participation. The research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, using field observation, in-depth interviews, and policy documentation. Data analysis was conducted through reduction, display, and verification. The research results indicate that citizens' social construction of GOS remains oriented toward social-recreational purposes and has not yet been fully internalized as an ecological obligation. The novelty of this research lies in conceptualizing GOS as a civic learning space that connects the social construction of public space with ecological citizenship within a Civic Education perspective. These findings strengthen the argument that strengthening Civic Education based on local GOS issues contributes significantly to the sustainability of city parks.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Ummi Method to increase students' interest and enthusiasm in learning the Qur'an at the TPQ Riyadlul Jannah Islamic Boarding School in Ngreni, Simo, Boyolali. This study uses a qualitative, phenomenological approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis was conducted using the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to comprehensively understand the learning process. The results showed that the Ummi Method improved students' reading quality, motivation, and confidence through structured, interactive, and enjoyable learning. Students experienced significant progress in pronunciation accuracy, recitation fluency, and memorization thanks to the memorization target system, reading and listening exercises, and munaqosyah activities. The implementation of the Ummi Method consisted of seven main stages: opening, apperception, concept planting, concept understanding, skill training, evaluation, and closing. In addition, the application of the classical-individual model, the mapping of abilities through initial screening, and the development of teacher quality through tahsin, tashih, certification, and routine evaluation further strengthen the effectiveness of this method. Thus, the Ummi Method has proven to be an effective strategy for teaching the Qur'an, increasing students' interest in learning, reading quality, and discipline.

Abstract

The film Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan (2025) presents a representation of masculinity that differs from the dominant patterns commonly found in mainstream Indonesian cinema. The male protagonist, Jonathan, is not portrayed as a stable, heroic, or authoritative figure, but rather as a vulnerable individual experiencing an identity crisis and in need of self-reflection to achieve independence. This study analyses how Jonathan’s masculinity is constructed through visual and narrative signs in the film, using Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical design. Primary data were obtained through close viewing of scenes, dialogues, gestures, and visual elements in the film, while secondary data were collected from relevant literature on semiotics, film studies, and masculinity studies. The analysis applies Barthes’ three levels of meaning denotation, connotation, and myth, and is further enriched by R.W. Connell’s perspective on hegemonic masculinity. The findings indicate that the film deconstructs the myth of hegemonic masculinity that emphasises absolute independence, emotional control, and dominance, and instead offers an alternative masculinity that values vulnerability, self-awareness, and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle as new forms of strength. Thus, Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan not only represents individual transformation but also reflects a broader shift in the discourse on masculinity within contemporary Indonesian socio-cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effect of the lottery card method on student learning outcomes in acid-base solution material during video-assisted discovery learning. This study used a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study population consisted of all 247 ninth-grade students at SMA Negeri 5 Palu, across eight classes.  Two classes were selected as samples, namely class XI Merdeka 5 (control) and class XI Merdeka 6 (experimental), each with the same number of 34 students, using simple random sampling. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests. The control class used only the discovery learning model, while the experimental class used the lottery card method in video-assisted discovery learning. From the analysis results, the N-ngai score for the control class was 0.49, and for the experimental class was 0.67, both of which were classified as moderate. Although both were moderate, the N-ngai score for the experimental class was higher than that for the control class. The t-test results showed a significance value of 0.001, which is less than 0.05, so it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore, it can be said that the lottery card method in discovery learning assisted by video media has an effect on student learning outcomes in acid-base solution material.

Abstract

The Policy of the Public Information and Documentation Management Officer is designed to guarantee public access to information and strengthen transparency in local government administration. However, in practice, implementing this policy often reveals gaps between normative compliance and the operational performance of public information services. This article analyzes the implementation of the Public Information and Documentation Management Officer policy in Pohuwato Regency using the policy implementation model proposed by Van Meter and Van Horn. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that, normatively, the local government has established relatively comprehensive regulations and operational standards for public information services. Nevertheless, policy implementation has not been comprehensive and remains largely limited to responding to public information requests via online channels. Unsustainable resource availability, weak organizational functions for implementation, the absence of structured, formal communication mechanisms, and external support that remains primarily normative have led the policy to operate partially and reactively. These findings confirm that the implementation of the Public Information and Documentation Management Officer policy in Pohuwato Regency remains dominated by administrative compliance, without adequate institutional and operational strengthening to develop a functional, sustainable public information service system.

Abstract

This study aimed to (1) develop an AI-integrated Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) learning media to enhance students’ speaking self-efficacy and (2) evaluate its effectiveness in classroom settings. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the media integrated AI Speech Recognition and Text-to-Speech (TTS) features within ALM-based learning sequences—dialogue modelling, imitation, repetition drills, and guided practice—across five modules: Materials, Reading Practice, Listening Practice, Speaking Tools, and Chatbot Practice. A quasi-experimental implementation with undergraduate students measured self-efficacy using a 19-item questionnaire adapted from Darmawan et al. (2021) and based on Bandura’s self-efficacy theory. The instrument showed high reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.930) and item validity (r > 0.30). Results revealed significant increases in all self-efficacy dimensions—Personal Ability Belief (3.596→4.387), Growth Through Effort (3.620→4.480), and Influencing Factors (3.583→4.361). The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test confirmed a significant improvement (p = 0.000). Overall, AI-assisted, repetition-based learning with instant feedback effectively enhanced learners’ confidence, persistence, and emotional regulation in English speaking.
