Abstract

The low financial inclusion index among 15–17-year-olds, at only 57.96%, highlights an urgent need for targeted interventions. Financial inclusion is an important factor in the growth and development of a country, as well as a driver of the achievement of the SDGs. Therefore, community service activities were carried out focused to increase Gen Z's understanding and active participation in financial services. This community service activity uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which consists of five stages: Research and Intervention Goals, Assessment of Needs, Action Planning, Action Taking, and Project Outcomes. A total of 427 tenth-grade students from senior high school in Surabaya participated. Interventions included the development and classroom use of interactive flipbooks on Central Banking, Payment Systems, and Payment Instruments, combined with contextual learning activities such as financial education sessions with Bank Indonesia, bank account openings, and hands-on digital transactions (e.g., QRIS, e-wallets, and mobile banking) during a school entrepreneurship bazaar. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, structured questionnaires, interviews, and behavioral observations. Quantitative analysis was used to measure cognitive gains (test scores) and behavioral indicators (account openings and digital transaction frequency). The results showed a significant increase in students’ knowledge and participation in formal financial systems. The combination of interactive digital media and contextual experiential learning effectively bridged the gap between Gen Z’s digital potential and their financial inclusion. This model can be scaled nationally to support inclusive economic development among youth.

Abstract

The development of the world of education today requires graduates not only to master academic competencies but also to have an entrepreneurial spirit. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen SDG 4 (Quality Education) in order to create competent human resources in entrepreneurship. In this context, the concept of edupreneurship (a combination of education and entrepreneurship) is becoming increasingly relevant, especially for graduates of the Physics Education study program, who have so far been considered primarily oriented toward conventional academic or industrial careers. This study aims to describe the perspectives and factors resulting from the edupreneur course. The method used is a mixed-methods approach, which combines quantitative and qualitative methods. Data collection techniques are carried out through questionnaires distributed to physics education students. Data analysis used is EFA analysis and thematic qualitative description. The results obtained show that the edupreneur course provides three factors for students, namely AE (Entrepreneurial Action), PE (Entrepreneurial Education), and ME (Entrepreneurial Motivation). The results of student perspectives show that the edupreneurship course is essential to teach. It proves that edupreneurship courses can shape students' entrepreneurial spirit. That is because educational programs also require entrepreneurial skills, starting from idea development. The studies suggest that integrating edupreneurship across academic programs is crucial. By highlighting the importance of entrepreneurship in education, this study recommends that edupreneurship courses be integrated evenly into all study curricula, enabling the realization of SDG 4. That is because the curriculum in Indonesia emphasizes not only academic skills but also entrepreneurial skills.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (Pesantren) in Indonesia have begun integrating the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their educational systems to promote ecological awareness and sustainable living among students (Santri). The aim is to explore the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the education and environmental framework at one of Pesantren in Lombok, with a focus on developing ecological awareness among Santri. This research highlights the important role of quality education, particularly in Pesantren, in addressing contemporary environmental challenges. Using a qualitative research approach with a case study methodology, data was collected through interviews with alumni and a literature review. The results showed that Islamic boarding schools have successfully implemented various programs, such as environmentally friendly policies, Islamic-based environmental curriculum, and extracurricular activities centered on nature contemplation. These initiatives not only promote environmental stewardship, but also empower students to actively participate in sustainability efforts. This study concludes that the integration of SDGs in Pesantren education practices significantly contributes to building ecological awareness and is aligned with the broader goals of sustainable development. This research makes a real contribution to the development of sustainable education and environmental conservation practices in Pesantren. The results of this study are not only academically relevant, but can also serve as a concrete example for other Pesantren that want to implement the principles of the SDGs.

Abstract

The mismatch between vocational school graduates' competencies and industry needs remains a major cause of youth unemployment. This research aims to provide a comparative view of the learning models used at the vocational school level to prepare students to have a work readiness attitude t aligned with 21st-century industry demands. This research is a systematic review of literature that explains a connection between learning models at the vocational school level to prepare students' work attitudes according to industry demands. There are seven learning models from 14 articles obtained in the research. This research links the vocational school level learning model, 21st century skills to students' work readiness according to industry demand. The research concludes that the Learning and Training Within Industry, Teaching Factory, Blended Learning, Project Based Learning, Problem Based Learning, Lean Based Learning, and Work Based Learning models can meet the criteria for incorporating 21st century skills to increase the work readiness of vocational school graduates so they can be absorbed in industry.

Abstract

Scientific reasoning is a fundamental skill that must be developed in higher education, particularly in science-related disciplines. However, existing learning resources often lack an explicit focus on data interpretation and evidence-based analysis, both essential for scientific reasoning. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of a data literacy-based e-module designed to enhance undergraduate students’ scientific reasoning skills. Employing a design and development approach based on the ADDIE model, the research included analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The e-module was developed by aligning curriculum needs, scientific reasoning indicators, and core data literacy principles. Content and construct validity were assessed through expert reviews, yielding high validity scores (above 3.7) and strong reliability (α = 0.83-0.94). Small-scale trials with undergraduate science education students demonstrated high levels of learning activity (72%-94%) and consistent student engagement throughout the learning phases. Students' scientific reasoning improved significantly, with N-Gain scores ranging from 0.49 to 0.74, categorized as moderate to high, particularly in indicators such as proportional thinking. Statistical tests indicated no significant differences between class groups, suggesting consistent effectiveness across cohorts. Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with agreement levels reaching 100% on most evaluation indicators. This research contributes to the advancement of pedagogical design by integrating data literacy into the scientific reasoning process, offering a replicable learning resources that can be adapted across science disciplines to better prepare students for data-driven scientific inquiry in the digital era.

Abstract

Social media's increasing impact on local politics has made personal political branding crucial to preserving democracy and raising political literacy. It is crucial for theory and practice to comprehend how such branding affects public perception in the context of regional elections. In this study, the impact of personal branding on Pemalang Regional Head candidates will be examined, with particular attention paid to the phenomenon of branding and political mediatization, in which non-political public figures run for office and acquire legitimacy through digital engagement and personal branding. The study used a qualitative-descriptive approach and gathered information from Vicky Prasetyo's official Instagram account. To evaluate public responses, interaction levels, and thematic content trends, Orange Data Mining software was used in conjunction with a Naïve Bayes sentiment analysis model. According to the findings, personal branding tactics that prioritize visual performativity, emotional intimacy, and endorsements from other public figures result in a preponderance of neutral feeling, which reflects the uncertainty of public perception. According to the study's findings, personal branding in this instance offers electability engagement and symbolic visibility, but it lacks a coherent and substantial policy program narrative. These results illustrate the potential of social media data as an alternate electability metric and lend theoretical support to local political communication research. In practice, the findings can help electoral management organizations, campaign consultants, and political practitioners create more focused digital campaign strategies and regulations that adapt to the dynamics of online political communication, enhancing the quality of democracy and raising citizen political literacy.

Abstract

Solid waste management remains a pressing challenge that affects environmental quality and public well-being. This study examined the influence of bin location on waste sorting behavior among students in selected secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. This study employed a 2 × 4 quasi-experimental design, in which bins for recyclable materials were placed in classrooms and corridors for a 10-day period. Recyclable waste collected was counted, weighed, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that bin location marginally improved sorting behavior, with more materials deposited in classroom bins than in corridor bins. This finding suggests that bins placed in classrooms provide greater accessibility and convenience, thereby encouraging consistent sorting behavior, while bins in corridors are less effective due to distractions and increased foot traffic. The study concludes that strategic placement of bins can enhance students’ participation in waste sorting and contribute to more sustainable waste management practices. School authorities are therefore encouraged to consider bin placement as a behavioral intervention to foster environmentally responsible habits among students.
