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.

Abstract

Physics learning in schools can foster essential skills for the current era, one of which is scientific literacy. Scientific literacy involves examining phenomena in students’ everyday lives, which can be explored through local wisdom. However, there are still limited studies that integrate local wisdom into physics learning to develop students’ scientific literacy. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to develop a student worksheet (LKS) integrated with the local wisdom of the Boranan Lamongan dance to enhance students’ scientific literacy. This research describes the feasibility of the developed worksheet in terms of its validity and practicality. The study employed the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The worksheet was tested on a limited scale in class XI science students at an Islamic Senior High School in East Java. The results show that the integration of local wisdom is feasible for use in physics learning to promote scientific literacy. The validity aspect achieved a PoA score of 84.13% (very valid), while the practicality aspect, assessed through learning implementation, obtained an average score of 96.04% (very practical). Overall, the findings indicate that the student worksheet integrating the Boranan Lamongan dance is feasible as a learning medium to foster students’ scientific literacy. Furthermore, this research contributes to the preservation of local culture by incorporating the Boranan dance into physics education.

Abstract

Practice-based microteaching is now an important method in pre-service teacher education, particularly in ICT, as it creates a forum to practice teaching skills in a structured setting. However, the success of this depends greatly on the quality of guidance, which has the capacity to deliver timely and critical feedback. Self-efficacy, being the belief that an individual is capable of completing tasks, has been a significant predictor of learning achievement and motivation. The present research aims to examine the pre-service ICT teachers' learning achievement and the learning motivation of high and low self-efficacy individuals within a practice-based microteaching environment supported by mentoring. In experimental design, the subjects (N = 82) were divided into high and low self-efficacy according to a standardized self-efficacy scale. The data analysis in this study employed the t-test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The findings of this study indicated there was no difference in learning achievement between the two groups on practice-based mentoring in microteaching for pre-service ICT teachers. Moreover, in intrinsic motivation, it was found that high self-efficacy practice-based mentoring microteaching students have significantly higher intrinsic motivation than low self-efficacy students. In the present study, however, low self-efficacy students for practice-based mentoring microteaching show significantly greater extrinsic motivation than high self-efficacy students. This research offers additional reference to scholars, teachers, and policymakers in investigating the role of self-efficacy in learning activity, learners' accomplishment in learning, and to supporting SDGs 4 and 5 in promoting the quality of education as well as gender equality.

Abstract

Integrating career orientation into high school education is a critical step in equipping students to make informed and purposeful decisions about their future. Considering the growing diversity of career opportunities and the increasing competitiveness of the global labor market, such programs play a key role in helping students understand professional pathways and the competencies required for success. This study investigates the benefits and impact of structured career orientation initiatives on students' decision-making processes at the high school level. Using documentation analysis, the study examined 32 documents consisting of research reports, educational policy documents, journal articles, school activity records, and relevant theoretical sources that met specific criteria of relevance, recency, and completeness. The analysis followed three stages, namely data reduction, categorization, and conclusion verification, allowing for a systematic interpretation of how career orientation programs function in various educational settings. The findings indicate that career orientation not only introduces students to diverse fields of work but also enables them to recognize their individual interests, talents, and necessary skills to achieve long-term goals. Additionally, the program strengthens students' confidence in selecting appropriate career paths and emphasizes the collaborative role of parents and teachers in offering consistent guidance and support. These findings also contribute to the achievement of SDG 4 through inclusive quality education, SDG 8 by supporting students’ readiness for decent work, SDG 10 by reducing disparities in educational and career access, and SDG 17 through strengthened collaboration among schools, families, and stakeholders.

Abstract

Cultural tourism in traditional Indonesian villages holds significant potential for preserving cultural heritage while driving local economic growth. Tamkesi Traditional Village in North Central Timor, East Nusa Tenggara, is one of the most iconic heritage sites with unique architecture and cultural traditions. This study aims to analyze the development of cultural tourism in Tamkesi using the 6A tourism framework, namely Attractions, Amenities, Supporting Services, Activities, Accessibility, and Available Packages, and collaborative governance principles. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving in-depth interviews with local stakeholders, direct observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that despite Tamkesi’s strong appeal and cultural authenticity, its tourism development faces limitations in amenities, accessibility, supporting services, and structured tour packages. Collaborative governance among local communities, government agencies, and tourism actors is identified as a crucial strategy to address these gaps and promote sustainable cultural tourism development. The study concludes that integrated planning and community-based collaboration are essential for strengthening all components of the 6A framework. This research contributes to the achievement of SDG 11 by supporting cultural heritage preservation and sustainable settlements, and to SDG 17 by reinforcing multi stakeholder partnerships to ensure effective and sustainable cultural tourism governance.
