Ethno-science is as an attempt "to recast what serves as science to others, their practice of taking care of themselves and their bodies, their botanical knowledge, but also the form of their classification, making connections, etc. Educational research is a systematic attempt to gain a better understanding of the educational process, with the aim of increasing its efficiency. This is done by applying the scientific method to studying educational problems. Ethno-science learning aims to reconstruct cultural knowledge and local wisdom. This learning process is very flexible and useful in combining basic and applied scientific research in education.

Abstract

This study examines how three-dimensional geometric concepts are applied in the daily lives of the residents of Kampung Kuta, a traditional settlement in Karangpaningal Village, Tambaksari District, Ciamis Regency. The research employs an ethnographic approach to ethnomathematics to explore the relationship between local culture and mathematical knowledge. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews with residents, and the documentation of various related records. The findings reveal that various community activities, including the process of designing and constructing traditional houses and crafting tools, are rich in the application of spatial geometry principles. For instance, the distinctive roof shapes of stilt houses and the use of natural materials demonstrate a profound understanding of three-dimensional geometric concepts. This study reinforces the view that integrating local cultural elements into mathematics education can serve as an effective alternative for learning geometry in a more meaningful and contextualized manner.

Abstract

Educational systems and the competence of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) teachers play a crucial role in shaping the quality of human resources and national competitiveness. This study aims to comparatively analyze the education systems and TVET teacher competencies in Indonesia and Malaysia, two neighboring countries with similar cultural backgrounds but different educational governance and policy orientations. The study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach based on document analysis of laws, regulations, policy reports, and relevant literature related to national education systems and TVET teacher development in both countries. The findings indicate that Indonesia and Malaysia differ significantly in terms of educational structure, governance, funding mechanisms, and curriculum implementation, particularly at the secondary and vocational education levels. Malaysia demonstrates a more centralized and systematically evaluated education policy framework, supported by higher public investment in education. In contrast, Indonesia faces challenges related to educational quality, equity, and consistency in policy implementation. At the TVET level, both countries encounter similar issues, especially regarding teacher quality, uneven distribution of vocational teachers, and limited industry experience among educators. In Indonesia, the Professional Teacher Education Program (PPG) is expected to address shortages and improve the quality of vocational teachers. Meanwhile, Malaysia emphasizes the Modern Apprenticeship or dual system to enhance teachers’ industry exposure and practical competence. Despite differences in terminology, both countries recognize four essential domains of TVET teacher competence: pedagogical, professional, personal, and social or communication competence. The study concludes that strengthening industry collaboration and continuous professional development is essential to improving TVET teacher competence and aligning vocational education outcomes with labor market needs.

Abstract

Indonesia currently faces serious environmental damage, which significantly disrupts the sustainability of national development. Students play a crucial role in environmental conservation efforts by fostering awareness of environmental preservation. Government policies, such as Decree of the Director General of Higher Education (Kepdirjen Dikti) Number 84/E/KPT/2020 and several other state and government regulations, constitute public policies in the field of education that can contribute to environmental sustainability. This study aims to analyze the profile, context, and substance of state and government policies on the Civics course, which are relevant to environmental sustainability efforts from a public policy and education perspective. The research used normative juridical, qualitative, and literature study methods. The normative juridical method examined the substance of government regulations, while the qualitative method employed interviews with several lecturers and students as informants. The literature study examined all relevant sources and documents in various forms. The results of the study indicate that several state and government regulations constitute policies for the realization of environmental sustainability, including those related to higher education. The environmental theme integrated into the Citizenship course is very strategic as a preventive measure against environmental damage. Government officials at the Ministry of Environment, law enforcement officers, officials from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Kemendiktisaintek), university leaders, lecturers teaching Citizenship courses, environmental figures and activists, students, and other educational stakeholders are policy actors. The threat of increasingly severe environmental damage and the need for students to understand it are policy issues. The Ministry of Environment, the Indonesian National Police, Kemendiktisaintek, universities, and various institutions outside the government are policy institutions. The public's expectation of students who are aware of and responsible for environmental sustainability is a policy issue. Several policy elements need to be refined.
