Abstract

This research explores how educators view digital literacy in virtual instruction, examining the impact of both internal and external factors on digital skills. Through a combination of methods, information was obtained from surveys completed by 103 lecturers and from detailed interviews with 15 lecturers in Tangerang City. Results indicate that 76.7% of respondents feel external factors, such as institutional support and infrastructure, are primary drivers for successful digital integration. Additionally, 69.9% of lecturers reported that internal factors, including attitudes, beliefs, and intentions, directly impact their digital teaching effectiveness. Educators proficient in digital literacy supported interactive online environments, while those with limited skills faced challenges that impacted student engagement and comprehension. The findings highlight the significance of ongoing digital literacy education, backing from organizations, and establishment of policies to encourage effective digital incorporation. These results emphasize the key role of digital literacy in improving online teaching and provide guidance for institutions seeking to enhance teacher preparedness in digital education

Abstract

The study is aimed at trend analysis, adoption, and effects of remote work, flexible schedules, and a four-day work week on performance and employee well-being; it engages in a systematic literature review methodology for data collection on several industries concerning the pros and cons of different flexible employment paradigigms. Remote working has been embraced best in knowledge-intensive industries, where it increases productivity significantly but at the same time enhances the risk of feeling isolated, and flexitime gives a good work-life balance but needs clear demarcations in the use of this flexibility to prevent over-commitment. Though the four-day work week is hardly ever adopted, experimentation has demonstrated its potential for increasing happiness and well-being in workplaces without compromising productivity. Appropriating hybrid models, deploying outcome-based performance measurement, and making training available are recommendations organizations could take on to make the most of flexible working arrangements. Hence, the study argues for personalized approaches to flexibility regarding the work at hand and the demands of the organization to ensure optimum performance and employee satisfaction

Abstract

This study examines the role of therapeutic communication styles in managing spinal tuberculosis (TB) care, emphasizing their impact on building trust, reducing anxiety, and motivating patient engagement. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in the post-positivist paradigm, the research was conducted at RS Premiere Bintaro with an orthopaedic surgeon and a purposive sample of spinal TB patients and their caregivers as participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and non-participatory observations, analyzed using a thematic framework. The findings reveal that communication styles such as Impression, Attentive, Open, and Friendly styles significantly enhance therapeutic relationships. The Impression Style fosters trust through positive first impressions, while the Attentive Style reinforces empathy and active listening, addressing psychological and emotional concerns. The Open Style empowers patients by providing transparent and comprehensive explanations, and the Friendly Style alleviates anxiety using humor and informal conversations. Additionally, involving caregivers using the Relinquishing Style underscores the importance of shared decision-making and collaborative care. This study highlights the necessity of adopting adaptable communication styles tailored to patient and caregiver needs in managing chronic conditions like spinal TB. It recommends integrating these styles into healthcare training programs, emphasizing the ethical use of humour and non-verbal communication to enhance patient comfort and adherence. Future research should explore diverse settings and larger sample sizes to validate these findings and extend their generalizability.

Abstract

In the era of increasing globalization, the diversity of cultures and religions in Indonesia presents significant challenges for the education system. Religious tolerance, a crucial aspect of fostering a harmonious and civilized society, must be instilled from an early age. Civic Education (PKn) at the elementary school level plays a key role in this process, as its curriculum aims to cultivate responsible citizens who respect differences and can coexist peacefully with others of varied backgrounds. Despite various policies and programs aimed at promoting tolerance, incidents of intolerance among youth persist, indicating that current educational approaches may not be fully effective. This research seeks to evaluate and analyze the implementation of PKn in enhancing religious tolerance at the elementary school level, focusing on teaching methods and student engagement. Using a literature review with a critical analysis approach, the study examines books, journal articles, research reports, and policy documents related to PKn and religious tolerance. The findings reveal that PKn is effective in instilling tolerance values, though challenges such as inadequate teacher training and resource limitations hinder its full potential. The study concludes with recommendations for improving PKn implementation to better address the needs of the 21st century, emphasizing the need for a collaborative effort among government, schools, and families to support a more inclusive educational environment. This research underscores the importance of refining PKn practices and offers a foundation for future studies on civic education and religious tolerance.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the effectiveness of interpersonal communication through understanding and strengthening self-concept. Effective interpersonal communication is a crucial skill in human life, contributing to building meaningful relationships, fostering trust, and resolving conflicts. However, a weak self-concept often hinders effective communication, such as low self-esteem or social anxiety. This research highlights that a positive self-concept is key to boosting confidence, openness, and empathy, essential elements in social interactions. In increasingly complex cross-cultural communication, a strong self-concept is the foundation for adapting to diverse social backgrounds. The study emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance, feedback management, and motivation for personal growth as primary components in enhancing interpersonal communication skills. These findings provide insights into how individuals can build more harmonious and constructive relationships by managing a healthy self-concept effectively.

Abstract

Islamic populism as part of contemporary political dynamics in Indonesia is unlikely to ever subside even though Indonesia was hit by the Covid 19 outbreak. In the context of power contestation, many scholars have argued that Islamic populism in Indonesia plays a very important role in supporting the elite to mobilize the masses and gain support for their political legitimacy.  However, there is limited study to explain the role of ideology the FPI as social agent of Islamic populism.  The study exemplifies the role of ideology of the Front Islamic Defender reflecting in the idea of ‘amar maruf nahi mungkar’ in current development of Islamic politics in Indonesia. By using a structural political economy approach, the author argues that although the formal organisation of the FPI has been dismantled by the Indonesian governement, yet the Islamic populism as a contested idea that has strong historical roots will continue to exist and develop if the contestation for power continues. As a political ideology that has a strong social and material basis, ‘amaruf nahi mungkar’ will still exist and become the ideological basis that supports the legitimacy of political elites in the contest for power and resources.

Abstract

The Collaborative abilities are essential for student achievement in the educational environment of the twenty-first century. Nonetheless, both international and domestic evaluations have shown that college students frequently struggle to collaborate well with others, interact critically, and co-create knowledge. In order to foster collaborative abilities, this study intends to investigate the effects of incorporating the Trilogy of Scientific Philosophy Thinking ontology, epistemology, and axiology into the Asian Community Education course. The study used a posttest-only control group and a quasi-experimental design. Two courses were used: the control group got case studies with no philosophical integration, whereas the experimental group was instructed using case studies enhanced with philosophical trilogy materials. Purposive sampling was used to choose the sample, which included 60 college students. A collaborative skills questionnaire was used to gather data, and both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. According to the results, the experimental group outperformed the control group on all four aspects of collaboration: respect for variety, communication, accountability, and interdependence (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate how philosophical reasoning might improve students' ability to work together in a meaningful way. Building future-ready students and transformational community educators requires introspective, ethical, and integrative thinking, all of which are fostered by incorporating philosophical frameworks into learning modules.

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of Field Theory (FT) literature trends through bibliometric analysis for the previous 20 years. The data analyzed consists of 447 peer-reviewed journal articles from 228 sources retrieved in the Web of Science (WoS) database with Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) indexing, from 2003 to October 2022. An overview of 447 articles was presented by utilizing Biblioshiny and HistCite. To visualize the data, we used VOSviewer software. Bibliometric analysis enabled us to chart the development of the FT literature. and its variants, provide a thorough understanding of the FT field's dynamics (structure), and identify journals, authors, subtopics (themes), and their interconnections and network relationships. The results of this study obtained two significant findings, namely that studies on FT grew rapidly from 2003 to 2022, especially in 2016. In addition, there are seven research clusters where neo-institutionalism and Pierre Bourdieu are the dominant themes.
