Abstract

This study aimed to create an instrument for an entrepreneurship system that aids in improving the employability skills of Vocational High School (SMK) students. The background of the study stems from the persistent issue of unemployment that SMK graduates, in particular, face relative to graduates from other institutions, and the lack of a single instrument that can comprehensively assess the school entrepreneurship system’s performance. The adopted methodology is the research and development (R&D) technique, which aims to create an instrument, as outlined by Djemari Mardapi. The steps involved creating definitions, designing frameworks, drafting content, and undergoing validation to assess the expert viewpoint, followed by Aiken’s V index, the analysis of internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha, and construct validity through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results indicate that the instrument developed has high content validity (Aiken’s V index from 0.85–1.00), excellent reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.900), and adequate construct validity with a KMO of 0.948 and CFA model fit indices within the standard range. These indicators affirm that the instrument can be used to assess the entrepreneurship system in vocational schools.

Abstract

This study explores the transformation of community behavior regarding the use of hygienic latrines in Pengikik Village, a remote island community with historically poor sanitation practices. Inadequate latrine management contributes significantly to environmental degradation. Promoting the widespread use of healthy latrines, which are facilities designed for safe and sanitary human waste disposal, is a key strategy for improving public health. Using a phenomenological framework design, the research draws on data from six purposively selected informants through semi-structured interviews. The analysis employs Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann’s theory of social construction to examine behavioral changes. The findings indicate that 19 out of 53 households have constructed private healthy latrines, and eight communal units have been built with septic systems. Behavioral change occurred through three interrelated processes: targeted socialization and education by health workers, gradual internalization of hygienic practices, and normalization of latrine use in daily life. These processes have reshaped community perceptions, fostering a collective understanding of the importance of sanitary facilities in the community. As a result, the community has shifted away from open defecation and toward the consistent use of healthy latrines.

Abstract

Coastal governance policies in Indonesia have undergone significant changes over time, influenced by dynamic knowledge development. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of coastal and small island governance policies in Indonesia using a Knowledge-Based Governance approach. The method used was qualitative content analysis of 67 regulations issued by the Indonesian government between 1960 and 2024. The results show that the knowledge gained in coastal zone management comes mostly from reflections on the past and the present. Dialectical learning involving public consultation and discussions among stakeholders is limited and has not been widely implemented. Co-evolution, in which stakeholders, knowledge, and institutions interact dynamically, is a key factor in creating policies that are responsive to environmental challenges. This study suggests that the government strengthen inter-agency coordination and increase the participation of the community and relevant parties in the decision-making process. This is useful for creating policies that are more flexible and adaptive to changes. Therefore, it is important to integrate learning that involves various perspectives to produce policies that are more innovative, comprehensive, and in line with the needs of Indonesia's coastal communities.

Abstract

Among the most prevalent forms of digital entertainment are two-dimensional (2D) mobile games, which are engaging, readily accessible, and compatible with a wide range of devices. This study sought to design and implement a 2D obstacle-avoidance game using Unity. The development methodology employed is the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC), comprising six stages: concept, design, material collection, assembly, testing, and distribution. The game, named Highwash Rush, was developed with various control features, including gyroscope sensors, swipe gestures, and directional buttons, and is equipped with a progressive scoring system and sound effects to enhance player experience. Black Box and Alpha Testing conducted on several Android devices demonstrated that the game operated stably, responded effectively, and adhered to the original design specifications. The findings suggest that implementing the MDLC method, excluding the distribution stage, in unity-based educational game development is effective for producing engaging and interactive multimedia applications suitable for practical use.

Abstract

The passing of Law Number 6 of 2014 on villages has opened up new opportunities for villages to manage their economic resources on their own, including forming BUMDes. However, the management of BUMDes is actually shaped by local political factors and complex power dynamics. This study explores how power functions within the management of BUMDes Bersama and how these practices affect village governance and community participation. This study used a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The theories applied include Local Politics and Regional Autonomy theory, Michel Foucault's Power Relations theory, and the Good Governance theory. The results show that, although BUMDes aim to improve the welfare of village communities through the collective management of economic businesses, local political intervention changes the function of this institution. Political actors utilize BUMDes to gain political support by directing facility assistance to the farmer groups that support them. This practice causes BUMDes to lose neutrality and reduces community trust in the institution. On the other hand, BUMDes management becomes less transparent, with decision-making dominated by certain parties, without inclusive involvement of all elements of the community.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Business Incubation Program by PLUT KUMKM in Padang City, West Sumatra. Business incubation refers to a structured process involving guidance, mentoring, and business development provided by an incubator to support the growth of participating MSMEs. The research adopts George C. Edward III’s (1980) policy implementation model, which  emphasizes four key variables that influence successfulimplementation : communication, resource, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with daya collected through in-depth interviews and documentation analyses. The research results show that the PLUT Business Incubation Program has met its objectives of providing guidance and assistance to MSMEs participating in the incubation. Support from agency leadership and the commitment of facilitators are reinforcing factors for implementation, while a clear organizational structure and the existence of SOPs support smooth execution of the program. Next, the factors influencing the Implementation of the Business Incubation Program by PLUT are:  Supporting factors: leadership support, competence of implementers, adequate facilities, good internal coordination, and tangible benefits for participants. Inhibiting factors: Limited human resources and budget, uneven socialization, varying participant motivation, and lack of follow-up mentoring after the program. This study affirms that the PLUT KUMKM business incubation program plays an important role in enhancing the capacity and competitiveness of SMEs; however, it requires strengthening communication aspects, resources, and an implementation strategy that is more adaptive to the needs of SMEs business actors.

Abstract

 This study aims to analyze the role of the government in the process of appointing honorary and contract workers in Pasaman Regency and the factors that influence the role of the government in the process of appointing honorary and contract workers in Pasaman Regency. The appointment of contract workers to PPPK is the process of changing the status of contract employees to that of Government Employees with Work Agreements, who are appointed based on work agreements for a certain period to carry out government duties. This process is an effort by the government to provide a more certain status and equal rights to contract employees who have not had a clear status as PPPK or ASN. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and data collection techniques in the form of interviews and documentation. This study uses Rasyid's theory (1997) which states that there are 4 roles of government consisting of (1) Role as Regulator, (2) Role as Dynamicator, (3) Role as Facilitator and (4) Role as Catalyst. The results of the study show that the Pasaman Regency Government has carried out these four roles, but has not been running optimally. As a regulator, the regional government acts only plays a role as an implementer of central policies without the authority to establish new regulations. As a dynamicator, the government is trying to mobilize regional apparatuses and honorary workers to actively participate in PPPK selection, although coordination is not yet optimal. As a facilitator, BKPSDM provides consultation services, administrative assistance, and digital-based information access but is still hampered by human resources. Meanwhile, as a catalyst, the government plays a role in accelerating the administrative process and encouraging the resolution of obstacles between the agencies. Bureaucratic structure, communication, resources, and disposition are factors that affect the implementation of policies.  The primary challenges are inadequate discipline, heavy workload, shortage of digital system expertise, and small workforce.  To make the process of selecting contract and honorary employees more efficient and transparent, this study suggests enhancing agency collaboration, bolstering human resource capabilities, and streamlining bureaucratic structures.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Kopi Aie Langang Sirukam Social Forestry Business Group (KUPS) Non-Governmental Organization in improving the capabilities of Londo coffee farmers in Nagari Sirukam, Solok Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were obtained through interviews, direct observations, and document reviews involving KUPS administrators, the Nagari government, the LPHN institution, the non-governmental organization KKI WARSI, and farmers. The results of this study show that KUPS has an important function as a mediator, mentor, and bridge in improving the capabilities and independence of farmers. The empowerment process is carried out through continuous training programs, intensive guidance, and institutional system development, which involves active participation to support joint marketing. KUPS initiatives have succeeded in stabilizing coffee prices, improving post-harvest processing quality, and expanding market reach through digital platforms and exhibitions. However, the implementation of empowerment faces several obstacles, such as limited facilities and equipment, dependence on external funding, and uneven levels of farmer participation. Cooperation between KUPS, the Nagari Government, LPHN, and KKI WARSI has been a major driver in strengthening farmers’ capacity and promoting sustainable local economic growth. Strengthening local institutions and developing independent funding strategies is necessary to ensure long-term sustainability and community resilience.

Abstract

The Lestari Cooperative Farmers Group is a solution to the challenges faced by the community in Nagari Taratak Jarang, Solok Regency, particularly the difficulty in accessing business capital owing to limited banking services. Banking institutions often implement complex procedures and requirements that are difficult for individuals without a collateral or adequate credit history to meet. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of cooperatives and obstacles experienced by farmer groups in their efforts to improve the economic welfare of the Taratak Jarang community. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative, with informants selected through purposive sampling, including the Cooperative Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and cooperative beneficiaries. Data sources include primary data obtained from interviews and documentation and secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), literature, reports, journals, and other sources. Data analysis was conducted based on the Miles and Huberman framework, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research findings indicate that the Lestari Cooperative Farmers Group in Taratak Jarang makes a substantial contribution to the economic welfare of its members through savings, loan services, and capital support, although administrative processes and financial recording are still carried out manually. Guidance is provided through deliberations and regular meetings, but the lack of formal training in cooperative and business management hinders the improvement of skills among both the management and members. Member participation is generally good but inconsistent due to economic factors, workload in the field, and a lack of understanding of the cooperative's benefits. Human resources, finances, and facilities have been utilized fairly well, but the potential has not been fully realized because of managerial limitations and slow technology adoption. The minimal use of digital devices for bookkeeping and communication is a major obstacle to work efficiency and effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the processes and challenges experienced by students of the Indonesian Education study program in utilizing Canva as a learning medium in PjBL. This research uses a descriptive qualitative research method with thematic interviews and data analysis techniques. This research not only explores the processes and challenges but also relates to the TPACK framework. The results show that students have been familiar with Canva since high school and that the frequency of use increases as the semester rate increases. Canva's use of media is considered to help in planning creative, efficient, and collaborative project outcomes. However, several challenges in its use still arise, especially those related to unstable Internet connections, weak coordination between group members, and limited premium access. These findings confirm that the use of Canva not only enriches students' learning experiences but also demonstrates the integration of technology, pedagogy, and content elements as described in the Pedagogical Knowledge and Technology Content (TPACK) framework. Through this integration, students learn to balance technological skills with pedagogical understanding and learning materials. Overall, Canva's implementation in PjBL contributes to strengthening 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and digital literacy. This study recommends increasing digital infrastructure support and learning technology training for students so that the use of Canva in PjBL can be more optimal and sustainable.
