Abstract

The technological transformation in education in 2025 has had a significant impact on the way we teach and learn. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and learning analytics enables a more personalized, interactive, and adaptive learning experience. AI helps provide rapid feedback and adapts learning materials to students’ needs, while learning analytics enables real-time monitoring of student progress. Despite the many benefits that can be gained, the main challenges faced are the digital divide between urban and rural areas, limited infrastructure, and issues of training for educators and protection of students’ personal data. Therefore, investment in infrastructure, training for educators, and development of data protection policies are crucial to ensure effective implementation of technology in education. Technology can play a major role in creating a more inclusive and adaptive education, provided that the existing challenges can be overcome.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement of high school students by comparing schools in urban and rural areas. A comparative quantitative approach with correlational survey method was employed, involving 100 eleventh-grade students (50 from urban schools and 50 from rural schools). Data were collected through questionnaires measuring parental involvement based on Epstein's theory and documentation of report card scores for academic achievement. Results revealed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.621; p < 0.05) between parental involvement and student academic achievement. Independent Samples T-Test showed a significant difference (p = 0.002) in academic achievement between urban school students (M = 86.20) and rural school students (M = 82.45). Similarly, parental involvement in urban schools demonstrated higher average scores (M = 82.14; SD = 6.43) compared to rural schools (M = 74.88; SD = 7.12). These findings confirm that geographical context influences patterns of parental involvement in education and its impact on academic achievement. This study contributes to educational policy formulation, particularly in developing effective parental involvement strategies tailored to specific school environments, and highlights the importance of collaborative programs between schools and families to address the urban-rural achievement gap.

Abstract

This study aims to document the ethnobotanical knowledge of the Dayak Kenyah community in East Kalimantan as an effort to preserve culture and the environment. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews, walking transects, and visual documentation, this study identified 47 plant species utilized by the Dayak Kenyah community. The results showed that the plants were categorized based on their main functions, namely as medicine (38%), food (30%), building materials (19%), and ritual purposes (13%). Several types of key plants such as Tengkawang (Shorea spp.), Sungkai (Peronema canescens), Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri), and Katimpun (Uncaria gambir) have important values in the cultural and ecological structure of the community. Custom-based conservation practices such as Tana' Ulen are concrete evidence of the implementation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) that supports the sustainability of forest ecosystems. However, there are indications of a decline in the interest of the younger generation in this local knowledge, with only 27.8% of young informants being able to identify more than 10 types of local plants. This study recommends the integration of TEK with modern conservation strategies and the revitalization of traditional knowledge through local culture-based education to ensure the sustainability of valuable traditional ecological knowledge.

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is an increasingly worrying phenomenon in various countries, including Indonesia. This study aims to explore the role of Guidance and Counseling (BK) Teachers in overcoming juvenile delinquency through a literature review method. This study analyzes prevention strategies, reactive approaches, and curative efforts carried out by BK teachers to deal with deviant behavior committed by adolescents. The results of the study indicate that BK teachers have a key role in preventing and overcoming juvenile delinquency through various approaches, including providing information, group guidance, mediation, home visits, and individual and group counseling. However, the implementation of these strategies often faces internal, external, and institutional obstacles, such as students' lack of confidence to open up, minimal parental attention, and limited school resources. This study emphasizes the importance of a collaborative approach involving teachers, parents, and the community in dealing with juvenile delinquency in a comprehensive and sustainable manner

Abstract

This study examines the process of adapting the Merdeka Curriculum by elementary school teachers in the Indonesia-Malaysia border area, especially in Kapuas Hulu Regency, West Kalimantan. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and case study method, this study aims to explore adaptation strategies, implementation challenges, and leadership roles in implementing the new curriculum in the 3T (underdeveloped, outermost, and frontier) areas. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with six class teachers and one principal, and analysis of learning documentation. The results of the study indicate that teachers' understanding of the basic concepts of the Merdeka Curriculum such as differentiated learning and the Pancasila Student Profile has not been accompanied by adequate technical skills in its implementation. Teachers developed adaptation strategies in the form of simplifying materials, using local content such as folklore and traditional games, and informal collaboration in developing learning. The main challenges to implementation include limited infrastructure (45%), minimal teacher training (30%), and conventional learning culture (25%). The role of the principal as a facilitator and coordinator is very significant in overcoming implementation gaps. This study concludes that the adaptation of the Merdeka Curriculum in border areas requires a flexible and contextual approach by considering local geographic, socio-economic conditions, and human resource capacity. Place-based policies and strengthening collaboration between schools, local governments, and communities are needed to realize the implementation of a just and equitable curriculum throughout Indonesia.

Abstract

Climate change is a major challenge for global society, especially in coastal areas that are vulnerable to the impacts of environmental change. Tanjung Jaya Village in Panimbang District, Banten, is an example of a coastal area that faces major threats due to climate change, such as coastal abrasion, tidal flooding, and changes in weather patterns. The people of Tanjung Jaya Village have rich local knowledge, which has been passed down from generation to generation and has proven effective in managing natural resources and mitigating disasters. This study aims to explore the potential of ethno-sciences or ethnology in addressing the impacts of climate change in this village, with a focus on mangrove management, sustainable agriculture, and coastal ecosystem protection. The results of the study indicate that the integration of traditional knowledge with modern science, such as satellite-based monitoring technology, can increase the effectiveness of climate change mitigation. Therefore, the development of policies that support the strengthening of the role of local wisdom in mitigating climate change is very much needed to increase community resilience to natural disasters

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between ease of digital access and increasing online gambling participation among Indonesian university students. Through a quantitative descriptive approach involving 420 respondents from various universities, the research examines how technological advancement has influenced gambling behavior among students and its multidimensional consequences. The findings reveal a significant correlation between digital accessibility and gambling participation, with 43.3% of respondents having engaged in online gambling and 25.9% remaining active gamblers. Students with easy digital access were nearly three times more likely to gamble online compared to those with limited access. Demographic analysis showed higher participation rates among male students and those residing in urban areas with superior digital infrastructure. The research identified substantial negative impacts on participants, including psychological effects (76.4% experiencing stress and anxiety) and academic consequences (56.6% reporting decreased concentration). Despite 62% of students claiming moderate digital literacy, only 28% demonstrated true understanding of digital risks, revealing a critical gap between technical proficiency and risk awareness. The majority of gambling-involved students (67.2%) reported first encountering gambling through social media platforms, highlighting the influential role of digital marketing in normalizing gambling behavior. This study underscores the need for comprehensive interventions including enhanced digital literacy education, campus-based support services, strengthened regulatory frameworks, and innovative prevention campaigns targeting digital-native students. The research contributes to understanding how rapidly evolving digital ecosystems create unprecedented challenges in academic environments and offers strategic recommendations for institutional and governmental responses to protect student welfare and academic success.

Abstract

Traditional farming systems are a form of long-term interaction between humans and their environment that manifests ecological and cultural adaptation. This study aims to explore the dynamics between the preservation of local knowledge and the pressures of modernization in the transformation of traditional farming systems of indigenous peoples in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua. Using an ethno-science approach with qualitative-descriptive methods through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, FGDs, and documentation studies in the Moskona, Wamesa, and Sumuri indigenous communities. The results of the study indicate that traditional farming systems are still maintained with high dependence on sago (85%), sweet potatoes (72%), taro (66%), and bananas (54%) as sources of food and cultural identity. The transformation of the farming system does not follow a linear pattern from traditional to modern, but rather creates a hybrid system that selectively combines traditional elements with modern technology. Indigenous peoples are not passive in facing change, but actively negotiate and adapt based on their ecological and cultural interests. The ethno-science approach offers a framework for integrating local knowledge into development planning, without ignoring the ecological and spiritual dimensions of indigenous peoples. Dialogue between local knowledge systems and modern science can produce more adaptive and inclusive agricultural policies, especially in indigenous areas such as Teluk Bintuni that face pressure from natural resource exploitation.
