Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to explore and strengthen early childhood education (ECE) teachers’ understanding of fundamental electrical energy concepts, including sources of electrical energy, energy conversion, and simple electrical circuits. It also seeks to equip teachers with the ability to design Learn and Play–based science activities that are concrete, exploratory, and grounded in children’s daily experiences. Methods – The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative testing and qualitative phenomenological analysis. The study involved 20 ECE teachers from six institutions in Madiun City and Madiun Regency. The intervention was carried out across three phases: basic training, mentoring on theoretical and practical concepts, and pedagogical assistance. Data were obtained through pre-tests, post-tests, observation, learning plan assessments, and in-depth interviews. Findings – Results revealed significant improvements in teachers’ conceptual understanding and pedagogical readiness. Teachers demonstrated enhanced literacy regarding electrical energy, increased confidence in explaining basic scientific concepts, and improved skills in designing interactive Learn and Play activities. The mentoring phases also showed that teachers could connect personal experiences with scientific explanations, leading to more meaningful learning preparations and effective classroom implementation. Research implications – Strengthening teachers’ scientific literacy through structured mentoring can reduce misconceptions in early childhood science learning. The model used in this study may serve as a reference for ECE professional development programs focusing on science education. Originality – This study offers a unique integration of Learn and Play activities with phenomenological exploration of teachers’ personal experiences related to electrical phenomena. It fills the research gap on electrical concept literacy among early childhood teachers, a topic rarely examined in previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study mapped PAUD compliance with the eight National Education Standards (SNP) in Tanah Bumbu Regency and developed an evidence-based planning framework for improving institutional quality toward National Standard School status. Methods: A quantitative descriptive-analytical survey was conducted across 325 PAUD units in 12 sub-districts. Stratified purposive sampling yielded 36 nominated schools subjected to four data streams: (1) an 80-item SNP self-assessment instrument (score range 80–400); (2) Academic Ability Tests (TKA) across audio, visual, and kinesthetic domains; (3) direct Facilities and Infrastructure (SAPRAS) observation; and (4) BAN-PDM accreditation records. Weighted aggregation based on Rasch Model logit person measures (Winsteps) produced a psychometrically calibrated institutional ranking. Findings: Average SNP compliance was approximately 65.5%. The three lowest-performing standards were Facilities and Infrastructure (50%), Educator and Education Personnel (55%), and Graduate Competency (60%). Cluster analysis yielded three institutional categories: Ready, Developing, and Needs Intervention. A three-phase planning framework (2026–2030) projects overall compliance reaching 83–85% under consistent implementation. Research Implications: The gap-based framework offers a replicable model for district-level PAUD planning. Key limitations include potential social desirability bias in self-assessment data, a sampling procedure biased toward higher-performing units, and the absence of longitudinal follow-up. Originality: The study integrates multi-source triangulation with Rasch-based institutional ranking to generate a cluster-differentiated, phased planning framework advancing beyond prior district-level SNP compliance surveys by translating gap profiles directly into measurable, standards-linked KPIs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of the KOMPAK Learning Model in improving learning engagement among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in inclusive elementary school settings. The investigation focuses on three core components of engagement attention, active participation, and responsiveness to instructional cues which frequently present challenges for students with ASD during classroom learning. Methods: A quantitative approach employing a one-group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design was used. Thirty children diagnosed with ASD were selected through purposive sampling. Learning engagement data were gathered using an observational instrument previously validated for reliability. A paired-sample t-test was conducted to compare engagement levels before and after implementation of the KOMPAK model. Findings: The results indicate a statistically significant increase in learning engagement within the sample following the intervention. Mean scores rose from 56.30 at pretest to 78.45 at posttest. The paired-sample t-test yielded p < 0.001, and the effect size (d = 0.85) fell within the large range. While these findings suggest that the KOMPAK Learning Model may enhance attention, participation, and responsiveness among students with ASD, they should be interpreted within the limitations of a single-group design. Research implications: The study provides preliminary empirical support for the KOMPAK Learning Model as an adaptive instructional strategy in inclusive elementary schools. Its application may assist teachers in fostering more consistent engagement among students with ASD, thereby contributing to improved inclusive learning quality and supporting students’ social–academic development. Originality: This research contributes to the field of inclusive education by offering empirical evidence on a learning model tailored to the distinct characteristics of children with ASD. Its emphasis on learning engagement rather than solely academic or behavioral outcomes distinguishes it from prior studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how Dayak Kanayant families in West Kalimantan negotiate traditional parenting values with the influence of digital technology in the context of family-based informal learning. The study responds to the limited attention in educational technology scholarship to indigenous family environments as informal learning spaces shaped by cultural logic, kinship relations, and distinctive forms of digital mediation. Methods:  This study employed a qualitative ethnographic approach in Desa Terap, Toho District, Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan. Data were collected over four months through in-depth interviews, participant observation, field notes, and documentation involving parents, grandparents, and children. Data analysis was conducted using a thematic-interpretative approach through repeated reading of interview transcripts and field notes, initial coding, theme development, ethnographic interpretation, and triangulation across interviews, observations, and documentation. Findings: The findings show that parenting in Dayak Kanayant families is practiced collectively through the involvement of parents, grandparents, and extended family members. Children learn discipline, respect for elders, cooperation, and cultural responsibility through observation, imitation, and direct participation in family and community activities. The presence of digital technology, particularly smartphones, creates new tensions by shifting some children’s attention from communal activities to screen-based activities. However, digital technology is neither fully rejected nor simply accepted. Families negotiate its use by regulating screen time, prioritizing customary and family obligations, and using digital communication to maintain emotional and educational connections with parents working outside the village. Research Implications: The findings suggest that educational technology should not only be understood as a school-based learning tool, but also as a culturally mediated learning resource within family environments. Therefore, digital literacy and family education programs need to consider kinship structures, intergenerational authority, and the local values of indigenous communities. Originality: This study contributes to educational technology scholarship by showing how indigenous families negotiate digital technology through culturally embedded parenting practices, rather than experiencing technology merely as a disruptive force against tradition.

Abstract

Purpose: This study assesses the project performance of a revetment construction project at Manado Bay, Bersehati Market Complex (contract value IDR 11,120,996,728; duration 133 calendar days) using the Earned Value Management method, while examining its effectiveness as a real-project-based learning medium in the Construction Management course. Methods: A quantitative-descriptive approach using Earned Value Analysis was employed over 19 weeks, applying three primary EVM indicators BCWS, BCWP, and ACWP, from which SPI, CPI, and project completion projections (ETC, EAC, ETS, ECD) were derived from the project's BoQ, planned and actual S-curves, and weekly execution reports. Findings: At week 19, SPI = 2.6 (ahead of schedule) and CPI = 0.4 (severe cost overrun). EAC reached IDR 50,896,353,625.36 (≈4.6× the original budget); estimated completion is 167 days, exceeding the contract by 34 days. The paradoxical coexistence of high SPI and critically low CPI constitutes an educationally valuable scenario for analytical learning. Research Implications: Real project data has strong potential to strengthen students’ conceptual understanding of EVM, cultivate integrated data-interpretation skills, and build forecasting competencies aligned with construction industry demands. Civil engineering programs should systematically incorporate real project case studies supported by comprehensive assessment rubrics. Conclusion: EVM analysis of real government project data constitutes an effective and theoretically grounded PBL medium for Construction Management instruction, simultaneously developing technical competency and higher-order analytical thinking aligned with KKNI Level 6 and SN-Dikti requirements. Originality: This study is the first to integrate quantitative EVM project-performance analysis with a theoretically grounded pedagogical framework within a single coherent research design, addressing a gap in civil engineering education literature in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Live Worksheets as digital interactive media in improving SPOK (Subject, Predicate, Object, Adverb) sentence structure understanding among deaf students in special education. This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 13 deaf students at the SMALB level of SLB Negeri Pangeran Cakrabuana selected through random sampling. Data were collected using multiple-choice and essay tests and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and N-Gain analysis. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding of SPOK sentence structure after the implementation of Live Worksheets, with the average score increasing from 52.04 in the pretest to 80.84 in the posttest and an N-Gain score of 61% categorized as moderate improvement. The Wilcoxon test result showed a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. These findings imply that Live Worksheets can serve as an effective interactive learning medium to support Indonesian language learning, particularly sentence structure instruction for deaf students in special education settings. The originality of this study lies in the application of Live Worksheets specifically to improve SPOK sentence structure understanding among deaf students, an area that has received limited attention in previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose: Research on second language acquisition has progressively evolved alongside advances in digital technology, which provides various interactive learning applications. One widely used application is Duolingo, which offers a gamified approach to learning a second language. This study aimed to identify research clusters, map research developments, and analyze the density of research topics concerning the use of the Duolingo application in second-language learning. Methods: This study constitutes quantitative literature research employing a bibliometric approach. Primary data were sourced from the Google Scholar database for the period 2016–2025 and analyzed using VOSviewer software to identify research trends, conduct keyword co-occurrence analysis, and generate network, overlay, and density visualizations. Findings: The findings identified five research clusters, revealing an evolution from descriptive-assistive approaches (2016–2017) toward the exploration of motivational mechanisms (2018–2022), causal impact testing (2018–2024), and multidimensional integrative models (2023–2024). Gaming and Duolingo occupy the highest-density zones, whereas second language acquisition modeling (SLAM) algorithms are in a very low-density zone, representing a potential area for future scientific breakthroughs. Research implications: This study provides implications for educators to utilize Duolingo as a learning medium in second language instruction and for researchers to avoid repetitive descriptive studies and shift toward cross-disciplinary innovation in developing adaptive gamification system prototypes. Originality: The novelty of this study lies in its systematic bibliometric mapping of Duolingo research developments in second language learning, which identifies thematic gaps between saturated and underexplored topics and provides a roadmap for future interdisciplinary research.

Abstract

Purpose: In the digital era, visual media acts as a "third classroom" influencing early childhood development. This study analyzes the effectiveness of Kinderflix’s daily life content as a medium for imitation in shaping adaptive behaviors, including self-help, communication, social-emotional, and motor skills. Methods: This qualitative research employs content analysis. Data were collected from six popular daily lifevideos via purposive sampling. The observation instrument was structured based on Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, focusing on the phases of attention, retention, motor reproduction, and motivation. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources and theories. Findings: Findings indicate that Kinderflix methodically applies modeling principles through multisensory stimulation. Strategies include: (1) repetitive articulation and expressive gestures for attention; (2) interactive songs as mnemonic tools for retention; (3) invitations for active participation for motor reproduction; and (4) vicarious reinforcement for motivation. This content systematically builds adaptive behavior structures, fostering independence and social responsiveness. Research implications: Kinderflix serves as an effective adaptive educational instrument rather than mere passive entertainment. This study highlights the necessity of parental roles as active mediators to facilitate the transition from digital information to real-life action. Originality: The uniqueness of this research lies in proving how local Indonesian content, such as Kinderflix, can turn digital viewing into real action for children. At a time when similar research is still rarely done in Indonesia, this study is here to explain in depth how the video works in shaping children's independence and social skills through real human examples.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to develop a web-based performance index assessment system for hazardous and toxic waste management by integrating technical and supporting indicators using the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches. The study also examines the system’s role in supporting transparent environmental evaluation and applied environmental learning. Methods: A quantitative research and development approach was employed using the MCDM-AHP method. Data were collected through literature review, regulatory analysis, expert judgment involving five environmental experts, and system simulations on three industrial entities with different waste management characteristics. The system was developed using a Python-Django framework and PostgreSQL database. Findings: The results indicate that the developed system provides objective, transparent, and consistent environmental performance assessments, with performance index values ranging from 60% to 92%. Industrial entities with higher levels of digitalization and standardized environmental management systems achieved better performance scores. The integration of environmental impact assessment also improved risk identification and monitoring effectiveness. Research Implications: The findings imply that digital-based environmental assessment systems can strengthen accountability, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making in hazardous waste management. However, the study is limited by the small number of expert respondents and simulation entities, which may affect broader generalizability. Originality: This study offers a novel contribution by integrating environmental performance indicators, MCDM-AHP analysis, and a web-based digital assessment platform into a unified hazardous waste management evaluation system that can also support applied environmental education and sustainability-oriented industrial governance.
