Abstract

This study examines the role of student organization participation in developing leadership skills and soft skills in higher education. Recognizing that universities must foster not only academic achievement but also competencies relevant to professional needs, the research employs a quantitative survey method using a Likert scale questionnaire distributed to 120 active students from three universities in Bogor, Tuban, and Jakarta. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to assess the influence of organizational participation levels. The results indicate that involvement in student organizations has a positive and significant impact on leadership and soft skills, particularly in communication, teamwork, and decision-making. These findings highlight the vital role of student organizations as complementary non-formal learning spaces that provide contextual and practical experiences. The study contributes both theoretically to higher education research and practically by offering insights for universities in designing strategies to enhance leadership and soft skills through student organization empowerment.

Abstract

This study explores the personal experiences of talented adolescents in facing often-overlooked challenges and examines the role of school counseling programs in addressing their needs. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, the research involved 15 gifted students aged 13–17 enrolled in academic enrichment programs at three secondary schools, along with 3 school counselors as supporting informants. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and participatory observations, then analyzed using NVivo-assisted thematic analysis. The findings reveal three key themes: excessive academic pressure and anxiety, difficulties in building peer relationships, and limitations of counseling programs that emphasize learning issues over psychosocial needs. Additionally, communication gaps among students, teachers, and counselors were identified, contributing to feelings of isolation. The study concludes that counseling programs should adopt a holistic approach integrating academic, social, and emotional support. Theoretically, it enriches understanding of the psychosocial dynamics of gifted adolescents, while practically offering recommendations for more adaptive and inclusive policies and counseling services.

Abstract

This study explores how Curriculum Navigation and local sport wisdom contribute to creating meaningful Physical Education (PE) in rural elementary schools. Using a mixed-methods approach involving literature review, field observations, and interviews with teachers, stakeholders, and practitioners, the research focuses on curriculum design that integrates local context and traditional sports. The findings show that incorporating local sport wisdom enhances student motivation, participation, motor skills, cultural identity, and social relationships. Moreover, place-based and culturally relevant pedagogy strengthens students’ sense of ownership and enriches the learning experience. The study concludes that the synergy between curriculum design and local sport traditions fosters more meaningful PE and recommends curriculum adaptation and teacher training that are responsive to local culture to improve learning effectiveness and sustain cultural values.

Abstract

This study analyzes how marginalized urban adolescents negotiate their identities through participation in informal learning spaces and how social interaction dynamics within these spaces influence learning and self-recognition. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research was conducted in an informal education community in Cirebon City involving 20 informants, including adolescents, community facilitators, and non-formal educators. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and community document analysis, then examined using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that informal learning spaces act as arenas for identity negotiation, enabling adolescents to build self-confidence, expand social networks, and develop life-relevant skills. Moreover, informal education helps reduce social stigma by providing a safe environment for self-expression and active participation. In conclusion, the study offers theoretical insights into the relationship between identity and learning spaces and provides practical implications for designing informal education programs that are inclusive, transformative, and empower marginalized urban youth.

Abstract

This qualitative study explored how higher education TVET students and instructors engage during pre-laboratory idle time, a phase often overlooked in laboratory-based instruction. Guided by Engagement Theory and Self-Determination Theory, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and institutional documents in two Philippine state universities. Interview protocols were pre-tested through cognitive interviews to ensure clarity, construct alignment, and contextual fit. Thematic analysis revealed four themes: proactive behavior and routine, instructor presence, emotional and motivational tensions, and environmental and institutional influences. Results show that idle time can foster readiness, self-regulation, and collaboration when supported by clear expectations, instructor visibility, and enabling environments. The study highlights the value of structuring idle time as a vital component of TVET pedagogy.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of experience-based learning in strengthening sustainable character education in high schools. Using a mixed methods design combining a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest and qualitative case study, 200 students from two Indonesian schools were divided into experimental and control groups. Quantitative data were analyzed using mean difference tests and ANCOVA, while qualitative insights were obtained through interviews, observations, and reflections. The results show a significant improvement in discipline, responsibility, empathy, and cooperation among students in the experimental group. The study concludes that direct learning experiences, supported by reflection and social engagement, effectively foster long-term character values and contribute conceptually to sustainability-oriented education strategies, offering practical guidance for schools in designing experiential curricula.

Abstract

The development of educational technology has brought significant changes in the learning process, especially in encouraging critical thinking skills as one of the main competencies of the 21st century. This study aims to analyze the influence of the use of digital learning tools on the development of critical thinking skills of high school students in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving 60 students in grade XI who are divided into two groups, namely the experimental group that learns using digital learning tools and the control group that learns using conventional methods. Data were collected through critical thinking skills tests before and after treatment (pre-test and post-test) and analyzed using a paired sample t-test to identify significant differences between groups. The results of the study show that the use of digital learning tools has a positive and significant effect on improving students' critical thinking skills. Interactive digital media has been proven to be effective in improving students' analytical skills, evaluation, and reflective reasoning during the learning process. This study concludes that the integration of digital technology in teaching and learning activities can strengthen the quality of learning while developing students' critical thinking skills. These findings provide practical implications for educators and curriculum developers in designing innovative technology-based learning strategies that align with the demands of modern education.
