Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how maritime habitus shapes the learning ethos of Bajo youth in Kawite-Wite Village, Muna Islands, Southeast Sulawesi, by addressing a research gap in coastal education studies that have largely emphasized access, participation, and dropout, while paying limited attention to maritime culture as both educational capital and structural challenge. Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach within a critical sociology of education paradigm using a phenomenological-sociological design. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation involving 24 informants, consisting of 16 Bajo youth aged 13-18 years and 8 supporting informants, including teachers, a school principal, fishermen parents, a senior fisherman, a Bajo community figure, and a local education observer. Data were analyzed interactively through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Findings: The findings reveal three central patterns. First, maritime habitus functions as cultural capital through hard work, resilience, solidarity, responsibility, independence, and collective discipline. Second, it produces educational tension through seasonal absenteeism, fatigue, family labor demands, and the risk of school dropout. Third, Bajo youth construct a hybrid future orientation by negotiating their roles as students and children of fishing families. Research Implications: The study implies that coastal education should be culturally responsive, flexible, and connected to maritime life. Originality: This study advances the concept of maritime habitus as an analytical lens for understanding learning ethos as a negotiation between the school field and the sea field.

Abstract

Purpose The government is introducing the BOSP as a strategic instrument to support the basic operational needs of schools. The provision of BOSP aims to expand access to education for the entire community. Methods This research used a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was tested through triangulation of techniques and sources. Findings Planning has been carried out systematically, based on data, and involving various stakeholders through the preparation of the RKAS. The implementation of the use of BOSP shows a dualism of needs between regular classes and the KKO program. BOSP is effective in supporting basic education services, but has not been able to optimally accommodate the specific needs of the KKO program. BOSP financial reporting has been running well administratively and financially, marked by completeness of documents, timeliness, and the use of the ARKAS system. Supervision of BOSP use has been implemented through a multi-layer control system involving internal and external supervision. Research Implications This study implies that improving school quality can be strengthened through effective management of operational assistance funds for educational units, teacher development, and active parental involvement in school programs. Originality This study is original because it examines the management of operational assistance funds for educational units, emphasizing active partnerships between schools and school committees in improving school quality.

Abstract

Purpose this study was motivated by the limitations of English learning for visually impaired students, which is still dominated by the use of conventional Braille without audio support, resulting in less optimal understanding of pronunciation, vocabulary, and language context. The study aims to describe students’ perceptions, analyze the role of an AI-based Braille–audio dictionary in understanding abstract materials, illustrate active participation, and identify learning obstacles and experiences. Methods this research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies conducted at SLB Negeri Mempawah and SLB Negeri Rasau Jaya. Findings the findings revealed that the integration of Braille and audio improved students’ understanding of vocabulary, pronunciation, and language context more comprehensively. The media also encouraged emotional engagement, active participation, and learning independence. Although technical obstacles and the need to adjust the audio pace were identified, the AI-based Braille–audio dictionary remained effective and relevant in supporting inclusive learning. Research Implications the study suggests that integrating AI-assisted Braille–audio learning media can enhance accessibility and learning outcomes for visually impaired students. The findings provide practical implications for educators, schools, and policymakers in developing more inclusive English language learning environments that support student participation, autonomy, and meaningful learning experiences. Originality this study offers a novel contribution by examining the use of an AI-based Braille–audio dictionary as an inclusive English learning tool for visually impaired students. Unlike conventional Braille-based learning resources, this approach combines tactile and auditory modalities, providing a more comprehensive learning experience that supports vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation development, and contextual language understanding.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether incorporating the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) method into Indonesian language instruction may enhance elementary school students' critical thinking abilities. The study was carried out in response to students' poor critical thinking abilities and the underutilisation of interdisciplinary teaching methods in Indonesian language instruction. Methods: This study used a nonequivalent control group design and a quasi-experimental method in a quantitative manner. 55 primary school kids made up the participants; they were split into two groups: an experimental class (n = 28) and a control class (n = 27). Pretests and posttests of critical thinking skills, classroom observations, and documentation were used to gather data. Descriptive statistics, homogeneity and normality tests, paired-sample t-tests, and independent-sample t-tests were all used in the data analysis. Findings: The findings showed that students' critical thinking abilities were much enhanced by the use of the STEM methodology. While the independent-sample t-test revealed significantly higher posttest scores in the experimental group relative to the control group (p < 0.05), the paired-sample t-test revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores in the experimental class (p < 0.05). The STEM intervention had a significant educational influence on students' critical thinking abilities, according to the computed effect size. Research implications: Because of the study's single-school context, limited sample size, and lack of random assignment, the results should be interpreted cautiously even though they show the efficacy of STEM-based Indonesian language acquisition. To improve the findings' generalisability, larger and more varied sample sizes from various educational environments should be used in future research. Originality: By incorporating the STEM approach into Indonesian language learning an area that has gotten little attention in prior research this study makes a unique addition. This study shows how STEM integration in language instruction can improve students' critical thinking abilities, in contrast to the majority of STEM studies that concentrate on science and maths.

Abstract

World-Class University (WCU) is a goal for universities around the world, including those in Indonesia, to demonstrate excellence in various fields, resources, and faculty measured by all relevant criteria as well as academic excellence and quality, as evidenced by a range of achievements. Academic pressure is one of the challenges faced by faculty members in the context of achieving various academic goals, with a focus on the antecedents and consequences of this issue within the WCU. The purpose of this article is to identify and synthesize the antecedents and consequences of academic pressure on WCU faculty members using a narrative review approach. Data were obtained from the Scopus database using the keywords “international ranking,” “World Class University,” or “academic,” yielding a total of 376 articles, of which 141 were suitable for in-depth analysis start at 2005-2024. This study examined the antecedents of academic pressure, including external factors such as the Tri Dharma, scientific publications, administrative workload, and frequently changing policies, as well as internal factors such as self-efficacy, personal capacity, time management, and work-life balance and the ambivalent consequences that trigger stress, burnout, a decline in work-life balance, and a deterioration in academic quality; yet, on the other hand, they can also enhance faculty competence, strengthen research culture, and accelerate global competitiveness. This research provides a comprehensive conceptual framework grounded in empirical evidence to help policymakers and strategists design faculty management approaches that are more supportive and focused on long-term academic performance. The conclusion of this study is that the consequences of academic pressure on lecturers not only have a negative impact but can also be a trigger for lecturers to improve their performance. Based on the background, this study has a different focus from previous research, namely related to the antecedents and consequences of academic pressure on lecturers at world-class universities as a novelty.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze students’ learning needs as the basis for developing a Motif-Orientation-Position-Size (MOP-Size) framework in Karawo textile art education, particularly in supporting students’ ability to translate motif knowledge into structured textile composition. Methods: A descriptive quantitative needs-analysis design was employed involving 45 Visual Arts Education students who had participated in Karawo textile learning. Data were collected using a 30-item Likert-scale questionnaire covering five dimensions: learning conditions, motif-placement understanding and difficulties, perceived need for the framework, application readiness, and expected benefits. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution, and category analysis. Findings: The results show that all dimensions were generally in the moderate category. However, the motif-placement dimension revealed the most critical gap, with 42.22% of students in the low and very low categories. Meanwhile, the need for the framework, readiness to apply it, and perceived benefits showed positive tendencies, indicating acceptance of structured learning support. Research Implications: The findings indicate that Karawo learning requires structured scaffolding to support students’ compositional decision-making. The MOP-Size framework is proposed as a preliminary instructional structure that can guide motif analysis, orientation testing, positional arrangement, and size scaling in textile design learning. Originality: This study introduces MOP-Size as a context-based instructional construct that operationalizes motif, orientation, position, and size as teachable variables in traditional textile education, particularly in Karawo learning.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-integrated RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create) learning model in improving fifth-grade students’ critical thinking skills on natural disaster topics. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental approach using a nonequivalent control group design. The research was conducted at SD Negeri Tegalkalong I, Sumedang Regency, Indonesia, involving 60 fifth-grade students divided into an experimental class (n = 30) and a control class (n = 30). The experimental class used the AI-integrated RADEC model, while the control class used the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. Data were collected through a HOTS-based critical thinking test consisting of 19 essay items, observations, and documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and N-Gain analysis. Findings: Both learning models improved students’ critical thinking skills. However, the AI-integrated RADEC model produced significantly greater improvement than the PBL model, as indicated by the independent-sample t-test result (p = 0.001 < 0.05) and a higher N-Gain score in the experimental class (0.8152, high category) than in the control class (0.6013, medium category). Research Implications: Integrating AI into RADEC learning can support the development of critical thinking skills and strengthen disaster education in elementary schools. However, the findings should be interpreted cautiously because the study was limited to one school, a relatively small sample, and two learning sessions. Further research with larger samples and longer implementation periods is recommended. Originality: The novelty of this study lies in integrating AI into the Read and Discuss stages of the RADEC model as a tool for information evaluation and reflection rather than a direct answer provider.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the factors influencing foreign learners’ needs for interactive digital Indonesian language learning materials (Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing/BIPA) by integrating technological and cultural dimensions within the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework. Methods: A quantitative explanatory survey design was employed involving 210 foreign learners enrolled in BIPA programs across several institutions in Indonesia. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring user interface quality, digital interactivity, cultural relevance, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and learners’ needs. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. Findings: The results revealed that user interface quality and digital interactivity significantly influenced perceived ease of use, while digital interactivity and perceived ease of use significantly affected perceived usefulness. Perceived usefulness was found to positively influence foreign learners’ needs for interactive digital BIPA materials. Cultural relevance also had a significant direct effect on learners’ needs, although its influence on perceived usefulness was not significant. These findings indicate that both technological usability and cultural authenticity play important roles in shaping learners’ expectations and preferences toward digital BIPA materials. Research Implications: The findings provide practical guidance for BIPA educators, instructional designers, and educational institutions in developing user-centered, interactive, and culturally responsive digital learning materials. Emphasis on intuitive interfaces, meaningful interactivity, and authentic cultural content can enhance learner engagement and learning effectiveness. Originality: This study extends the Technology Acceptance Model by integrating cultural relevance and digital interactivity into a single framework to explain foreign learners’ needs for interactive digital BIPA materials, offering a more comprehensive understanding of technology-enhanced language learning in intercultural contexts.
