Abstract

Critical thinking is essential in 21st-century higher education, yet traditional Pancasila education often fails to develop this competency. This mixed-method study investigated how deep learning approaches pedagogical strategies emphasizing mastery, problem-solving, and disposition development enhance critical thinking among 120 undergraduate students at Universitas Wiralodra. Students were divided into experimental groups receiving deep learning instruction and control groups receiving traditional methods. Results showed experimental group students achieved substantially higher critical thinking scores with large effect sizes (Cohen's d=1.66, p<0.001). Qualitative findings revealed that problem-based learning, Socratic dialogue, and reflective practices enhanced students' analytical abilities and engagement. The main contribution of this study is demonstrating that contextualized deep learning pedagogies can effectively transform civic education from knowledge transmission to critical competency development in Indonesian higher education settings. Practically, this research provides evidence-based implementation frameworks for educators seeking to enhance critical thinking through authentic problem-solving and collaborative inquiry in Pancasila education.

Abstract

This study examines the perspectives of teachers and students on the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) by employing a systematic approach guided by the PRISMA framework. Of the total 225 journals found through the Mendeley, Taylor&Francis, and ScienceDirect databases (2020-2024), as many as 21 relevant articles were analyzed in depth. The research methods include, qualitative evaluation, using library research. The result of the study showed that CLT has great potential in improving students' communication skills through activities such as group discussions and real-life situations. Students show a positive attitude towards CLT because the activities are relevant to their communication needs. However, challenges such as time constraints, supporting materials, and teacher training hinder its implementation. Many teachers continue to use traditional methods due to limited training and institutional support, even though they recognize the benefits of CLT. The study recommends intensive training for teachers, curriculum reform, and the use of digital tools to support CLT learning. Adaptation of this method to the cultural and social needs of students is also needed to maximize learning outcomes. These findings provide important insights for the development of education policies that support the effective implementation of CLT.

Abstract

Civic education is expected to develop critical thinking and democratic values, yet traditional instructional practices often limit these outcomes. This study investigates the effects of deep learning pedagogical models—understood here as instructional approaches emphasizing meaningful engagement, inquiry, and authentic problem-solving, distinct from deep learning in artificial intelligence on students' critical thinking skills and democratic value formation in Indonesian high schools. A mixed-method approach was employed involving 150 students assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction through problem-based learning, deliberative discussion, service learning, case analysis, and reflective activities, while the control group followed conventional teaching methods. Quantitative data were collected using the California Critical Thinking Skills Test and the Democratic Values Scale, supported by classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The results show that students in the experimental group achieved significantly higher critical thinking scores (M = 78.5) than those in the control group (M = 64.8), with a large effect size (d = 1.58). Similar patterns emerged for democratic values, particularly political tolerance, civic engagement, and political efficacy (d = 1.46). Qualitative findings confirm that students became more analytical, open to differing views, and confident in civic participation. These findings contribute to civic education research by providing empirical evidence that integrated deep learning pedagogical models can simultaneously develop both cognitive and democratic competencies, offering a replicable instructional framework for transformative citizenship education in diverse societal contexts.

Abstract

The digitalization of spatial planning permits has become an important part of urban governance reform, particularly in efforts to improve administrative efficiency and coordination. However, digitalization not only brings procedural changes but also affects how administrative decisions are made and legally accountable. This research aims to analyze digital-based spatial planning permits as an instrument of administrative law, focusing on their implications for the structure of administrative decisions, legal certainty, and administrative justice in urban governance. This research uses a qualitative approach with a juridical-normative method enriched by conceptual analysis. Research data is sourced from administrative legal norms, relevant laws and regulations regarding spatial planning and permits, as well as relevant scientific literature. The research results indicate that the digitalization of permits changes the structure of administrative decision-making from an individual-hierarchical model to a system-based integrated model, which increases procedural efficiency but simultaneously introduces new complexities in the division of legal authority and responsibility. Additionally, digitalization tends to strengthen procedural certainty, but it has not fully guaranteed substantive legal certainty and administrative justice. This research confirms that the success of digital spatial planning licensing is highly dependent on strengthening the administrative legal framework, harmonizing regulations, and establishing effective accountability mechanisms and legal protection.

Abstract

Digital transformation has increasingly been discussed as a potential driver of reform in natural resource governance, particularly in the management of protected forests through land-use permitting systems. In practice, however, the digitalization of licensing processes has largely emphasized administrative efficiency and procedural simplification, while its function as a legally institutionalized instrument of environmental control remains limited. This study examines the regulatory and institutional configuration of land-use permitting in protected forest areas in Indonesia and develops a policy reform framework that positions digital transformation within governance and legal reform. Employing a normative legal approach combined with qualitative policy analysis, the research reviews statutory frameworks, institutional arrangements, and policy documents related to forestry regulation, spatial planning, and digital licensing systems. The analysis indicates that protected forest governance continues to face regulatory fragmentation, overlapping institutional mandates, limited spatial data integration, and accountability constraints within existing digital licensing structures. In response, the study formulates a sector-specific reform framework structured around four interconnected pillars: regulatory harmonization, institutional integration and accountability, integrated digital licensing architecture, and environmental justice and public participation. Rather than proposing a demonstrated policy outcome, the framework provides a normative and institutional proposition for embedding digital transformation within preventive (ex ante) environmental control and legally coherent governance structures. The results reinforce the conceptual development of digital governance reform in protected forest management while outlining directions for future empirical and socio-legal research.

Abstract

Current advances in information technology have had complex impacts, particularly in the realm of human rights and licensing. These challenges include the enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) laws, and the lack of synchronization between top-down and bottom-up regulations, leading to disharmony between national regulations and the needs of the local digital ecosystem. This study aims to explore the digital licensing regulatory framework in Indonesia with a focus on implementation in West Java, identify legal gaps, and formulate an adaptive regulatory model appropriate to the local context. The study uses an empirical legal approach with analysis of primary and secondary legal documents, in-depth interviews with 45 intellectual property rights law experts, regulators, and digital industry players in West Java, and focus group discussions (FGDs) to validate the findings. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis framework and local context-based regulatory analysis. The findings indicate that the implementation of digital licensing regulations in West Java faces multiple challenges, including weak law enforcement infrastructure at the district/city level, disparity in human resource capacity between Bandung as the center and its outlying areas, and low digital literacy among local creative industry players. This research produces a locally context-based adaptive regulatory model that can serve as a policy reference for local governments in formulating a comprehensive and responsive digital licensing legal framework.

Abstract

Administrative discretion in licensing governance is a form of modern bureaucratic practice, but it also carries the potential risk of serious legal accountability deviations. In the context of developing countries such as Indonesia, where the scope of public officials' authority is often not clearly defined , administrative freedom is often a paradoxical instrument: on the one hand, it allows the necessary governance flexibility to respond to diverse local conditions, but on the other hand, it has the potential to create loopholes for corruption, collusion, and nepotism in the licensing process. This study aims to investigate the pattern of administrative discretion in licensing governance in Indonesia, identify factors that influence the legal accountability of public officials in the use of discretion, and formulate an analytical framework for legal accountability based on the local institutional context. The study uses an empirical juridical approach with a qualitative method based on grounded theory. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with 48 participants consisting of licensing officials, administrative law experts, business actors, and members of the supervisory commission, as well as analysis of primary legal documents and focus group discussions (FGDs) as triangulation of findings. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis framework and a layered legal accountability matrix. The findings indicate that administrative discretion in licensing governance in Indonesia is multidimensional and influenced by six determinant factors: regulatory clarity, human resource capacity of officials, local political pressure, internal oversight mechanisms, bureaucratic organizational culture, and accessibility of administrative justice. This study produces a legal accountability model of administrative discretion based on institutional context that can be a reference for licensing system reform in Indonesia.

Abstract

In the implementation of modern administrative law, the authority to issue permits to regulate public space is inseparable from the individual's right to legal certainty in business and activities. In the context of contemporary state administrative law, the tension between the broad authority to issue permits held by government officials and the increasing demands for legal certainty from the public and business actors is an issue that has not been fully resolved, both theoretically and in policy implementation. This study aims to investigate the relationship between licensing authority and legal certainty from the perspective of contemporary state administrative law in Indonesia, identify structural factors that determine the quality of legal certainty in licensing governance, and formulate a normative and institutional framework capable of optimizing licensing authority as an instrument for creating legal certainty. The study uses a normative juridical approach with a comparative analysis of legal documents and a systematic and comprehensive library research method. The collection of legal materials is carried out through the study of primary legislation, judicial decisions, comparative administrative law doctrine, and internationally reputable scientific literature. The analysis is conducted using a layered normative analysis framework that integrates the dimensions of legality, proportionality, and legal certainty. The findings indicate that legal certainty in licensing authority in Indonesia is multidimensional and influenced by five structural factors: coherence of licensing regulations, clarity of authority boundaries, standardization of administrative procedures, legal protection mechanisms, and consistency in the application of norms by licensing bodies. This study produces a normative framework for legal certainty in licensing based on contemporary administrative law principles that can serve as a reference for licensing regulatory reform in Indonesia.

Abstract

Coastal zones hold a crucial role in maintaining ecological stability, supporting economic livelihoods, and safeguarding the welfare of nearby communities. Yet the governance of coastal space in Indonesia remains constrained by persistent institutional fragmentation and inconsistent regulatory norms. This study examines how regulatory misalignment emerges within coastal spatial licensing practices, using the construction of a sea barrier in the coastal waters of Tangerang Regency as the principal empirical case. Unlike earlier studies that mainly discuss broad policy arrangements or governance systems in general terms, this research focuses closely on how differences in regulatory interpretation appear during concrete licensing procedures. A qualitative approach guides the inquiry, combining normative legal analysis with a governance perspective to identify the relationship between regulatory design and institutional conduct. The findings indicate that fragmented regulations, overlapping authority among agencies, and weak interinstitutional coordination together generate inconsistencies that weaken the credibility of the permitting process. These conditions create legal uncertainty and increase the likelihood of disputes over coastal spatial utilization. This article offers a case-oriented analysis of how interactions between regulation and institutions influence the outcomes of coastal licensing, and it contends that building more coherent and sustainable coastal governance in Indonesia requires stronger regulatory alignment, deeper institutional collaboration, and clearer policy guidance.

Abstract

This fundamental change in the legal architecture of licensing has complex and multi-layered implications for government administrative governance, particularly regarding the redistribution of authority between government institutions, a paradigm shift from obligation-based licensing to risk-based licensing, and the restructuring of the legal responsibilities of administrative officials in the digital licensing ecosystem. This study aims to analyze the legal implications of the transformation of licensing regulations on administrative governance in Indonesia, map the shift in institutional legal responsibilities post-reform, and formulate a framework for adapting administrative law that is responsive to the dynamics of the digital technology-based licensing system. The research employed a normative juridical method reinforced by an empirical juridical approach. Analysis of primary and secondary legal documents was combined with in-depth interviews with 52 informants, including administrative law academics, officials from the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, regional regulators, business actors, and judges at the State Administrative Court in three major cities . Data were analyzed using an integrated statute, conceptual, and case approach within a transformative legal implications analysis framework. The findings identify four main legal implications of the transformation of licensing regulations: (1) a shift in the legal paradigm from ex-ante to ex-post, which changes the nature of administrative officials' legal responsibilities; (2) a restructuring of the state administrative lawsuit mechanism against digital licensing decisions; and (3) a weak legal protection framework for business actors who rely on self-declaration-based standard certificate conformity. This research produces a transformative licensing administrative legal adaptation framework that serves as an academic and policy reference for administrative law reform in the era of digital licensing governance.
