Abstract

This study scrutinized teachers' strategies for developing students' speaking confidence. The qualitative approach was adopted using observation and interviews as data collection methods. Four English teachers with a myriad of experiences in coping with students' problems with speaking confidence were invited as samples. The analysis of data procedures involved Kawulich's (2004) work, including Narrative, Coding, Interpretation, Confirmation, and Presentation. The findings revealed that the students had low confidence in speaking due to being Afraid of Speaking, Feeling Inferior, and Being Shy. Teachers developed strategies to cope with problems, including guiding the students when speaking, conducting peer tutoring, habituating students to speak, and giving games to motivate them to learn. Based on the data, some improvements were achieved after the strategies: teachers as guides followed by speaking as habits improved students' speaking confidence; Peer Tutors and Teachers as Guides boost students' understanding; Peer Tutors and Games promote more enthusiasm for students. This study recommends that the principals facilitate teachers' autonomy in teaching, such as conducting programs compatible with students' learning needs by providing collaborative learning opportunities and involving fun learning activities to get students' enthusiasm, which will generate their motivation and confidence

Abstract

The proliferation of technology has significantly impacted learning development. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of learning technologies based on students’ perspectives and to discover the challenges encountered when using technologies. In conducting a qualitative case study, the researcher collected data using an open-ended questionnaire at the Open University of Mataram. The data from six informants were analyzed by using the thematic analysis technique. The analysis procedures were based on Kawulich's (2004), which encompassed narrative, coding, interpretation, confirmation, and presentation. The result showed that the students found technology in their learning was effective primarily in creating attractive, practical, and accessible learning experiences, promoting flexible learning and independent learners, and enriching and deepening understanding. Meanwhile, three main challenges were identified: an unstable network, social media, environmental distraction, and a lack of technological competence among students. This study recommends researching teachers’ perspectives on digital transformation for further studies

Abstract

This research investigates the relationships between cash flow, sales growth, tax incentives, and accounting conservatism. The study reveals that cash flow significantly influences accounting conservatism, indicating that firms with higher cash flows tend to adopt less conservative accounting practices to seize growth opportunities. Additionally, strong sales growth is associated with reduced accounting conservatism, as companies aim to meet market expectations and present favorable financial results. However, the interaction between cash flow and tax incentives, as well as sales growth and tax incentives, does not significantly affect accounting conservatism. These findings suggest that firms prioritize immediate financial performance over tax strategies when making accounting decisions. The research highlights the need to explore further industry-specific factors, long-term effects, and the practical implementation of tax incentives. By addressing these aspects, future studies can provide deeper insights into how financial reporting practices evolve and inform better corporate governance and stakeholder communication. Overall, this research contributes to understanding the dynamics influencing accounting conservatism in a changing economic landscape

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between financial distress, capital intensity, and tax aggressiveness, focusing on the moderating role of firm size. Utilizing a sample of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2021 to 2023, the research employs quantitative methods to analyze the influence of financial distress and capital intensity on tax aggressiveness. The findings reveal that financial distress significantly increases tax aggressiveness, indicating that firms facing economic challenges are more likely to pursue aggressive tax strategies to enhance their cash flow. Additionally, capital intensity is positively associated with tax aggressiveness, as firms leverage their capital assets for potential tax benefits. However, the study finds that firm size does not significantly moderate the relationships between financial distress or capital intensity and tax aggressiveness, suggesting that the effects of these variables are consistent across different firm sizes. These results underscore the complex dynamics of corporate tax behavior and highlight the need for firms to carefully consider their tax strategies in the context of financial conditions and capital structure. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of tax aggressiveness in emerging markets and provides implications for corporate managers and policymakers regarding tax planning and regulation

Abstract

The circulation of alcoholic drinks in Jayapura City is increasingly widespread and can even be said to be out of control. Alcoholic drinks are openly sold in shophouses adjacent to housing or residential areas of community members. The implementation of the Regional Regulation on Alcoholic Drinks in Jayapura City has not been successful in lowering the amount of alcoholic beverages in circulation. The purpose of this study is to determine what factors impede the implementation of the policy for supervision and control of sales of alcoholic beverages in Jayapura City, Papua Province, as well as issues pertaining to its implementation throughout the city. Descriptive and qualitative research methods were employed in this study. Techniques for documentation, interviews, and observation were used to gather data. The findings of the study demonstrate that this strategy may be effective provided it is backed by thorough and unambiguous policy text as well as an environment that is favorable to its implementation, such as agency cooperation, community involvement, and enough funding. However, a number of obstacles prevent theJayapura City's application of this policy, including economic and political interests that support the sustainability of the alcohol industry, a community culture that considers alcohol to be part of social tradition, as well as limited human resources and budget for effective supervision. Apart from that, the lack of understanding and consistency of implementing officials in enforcing policies is also a big challenge

Abstract

The high unemployment rate in Papua Province, reaching 65,000 people, is one of the main challenges in achieving regional development goals, especially in the employment sector. This unemployment is spread across various districts/cities in Papua and is an obstacle to achieving the targets of the Papua Provincial Government's technical institutions, namely the Department of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises and Manpower (Perindagkop UKM dan Manpower), which is regulated by Gubernatorial Regulation Number 34 of 2019. This regulation only regulates employment matters but does not cover aspects of workforce placement, which should be an important part of reducing unemployment. This research aims to describe and analyze the evaluation of employment policies in Papua Province, especially those related to Gubernatorial Regulation Number 34 of 2019 concerning the organization and work procedures of the Department of Industry and Trade, UKM, and Manpower, and identify the obstacles that exist in implementing these policies. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and data collection through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with stakeholders related to employment policies in Papua

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant health issue worldwide, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. The Indonesian government has implemented various strategic nutrition programs to address stunting issues. Through strong collaboration among the government, communities, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, efforts to reduce stunting are expected to proceed effectively and efficiently. This research uses scientific methods, specifically data collection and data analysis techniques, with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection methods include primary data, interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the policy evaluation on stunting prevention through the "Bridal Class" program at the Family Learning Center (Puspaga) in Surabaya City show a reduction in stunting rates, which has positioned Surabaya as the city with the lowest stunting rate at the national level. Surabaya's government is also targeting Zero Stunting and Zero New Stunting by 2024. The study's findings indicate that the "Bridal Class" program has been successfully implemented in Keputih Village, Surabaya City, according to established procedures. This is evidenced by the ease of community participation in the "Bridal Class," offered through various methods, including online, offline, and hybrid formats. The stunting rate in Keputih Village, Surabaya City, has remained stable from January 2024 to October 2024, with continuous monitoring in place
