Abstract

This study examines the experiences of 32 Indonesian students enrolled in an international business program at a Thai university, focusing on their difficulties, motivation, and attitudes towards learning English. Data were collected through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and interviews. The research investigates factors such as language difficulties, anxiety, study habits, and the motivation to improve language skills. The results indicate that students face moderate difficulties in mastering English, but their motivation to learn the language is high. Anxiety related to speaking English is present but not overwhelming. Students’ study habits are slightly above neutral, suggesting room for improvement in learning strategies. Despite facing difficulties, students express a strong interest in improving their English proficiency. They enjoy listening to music and watching films in English. The study points to the need for tailored support to address language anxiety and study habits to help students succeed in language learning and academic work. The findings stress the importance of creating a positive and engaging learning environment that promotes linguistic and personal development.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of cultural approaches through the integration oftraditional dance in the teaching of Indonesian as a Foreign Language (BIPA) at Hebei ForeignStudies University (HISU), China. The primary focus is on the use of Jathilan (a traditional Javanesedance) and Betawi dance as instructional media to foster cultural awareness and enhance languageskills among international learners. This qualitative case study involved data collection throughdirect observation of both online and offline learning sessions, as well as in-depth interviews withBIPA instructors and participants actively involved in the dance-based learning process. Thefindings indicate that the incorporation of traditional dance significantly boosts learners’motivation, deepens their understanding of Indonesian culture, and creates an inclusive andparticipatory classroom environment. Active involvement in dance practice also strengthensstudents’ emotional and cognitive engagement in language learning. A key element in the success ofthis program is the collaboration between Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ) and HISU through aninternational community service initiative. The study concludes that performing arts-based culturalapproaches offer an innovative pedagogical strategy for BIPA instruction and serve as an effectivetool for Indonesia’s cultural diplomacy on the global stage.

Abstract

This study aims to introduce dance learning media using Augmented Reality with Movement Literacymaterial based on Laban Notation symbols for junior high school students. The background of thestudy is based on the low interest of students in learning dance and difficulties in understanding theelements of space, time, and energy due to the limitations of conventional media that are not inaccordance with the characteristics of the digital generation. The method used is research anddevelopment (R&D) with initial stages including needs analysis, product design, productdevelopment, implementation through limited trials, and product evaluation. The product developedis an Augmented Reality (AR) application that presents movement literacy based on Laban Notationin an interactive 3D form, so that students can learn movement visually, kinesthetically, andreflectively. Initial results based on needs analysis and the designed product show that theapplication is considered interesting, easy to use, and helps understand basic dance movements, andis in accordance with the characteristics of students in the digital era. Teachers gave positiveresponses to the potential of this media as a supporter of deep learning that is conscious, meaningful,and enjoyable. Thus, it is hoped that the AR-Motion Literacy application can be an innovativealternative in dance learning, especi

Abstract

Higher art education emphasizes theoretical mastery as a crucial foundation, yet many studentsstruggle to apply this knowledge in both criticism and creation. The persistent gap between 'knowing'and 'doing' remains a critical challenge in art pedagogy, often hindering learning outcomes. Thisarticle proposes a structured pedagogical model designed to bridge this divide. By synthesizingScaffolding Theory and Situated Learning Theory, the model presents a systematic four-stepframework: (1) theoretical deconstruction for deep comprehension, (2) methodological bridgingbetween theory and artistic objects, (3) dialogic operationalization through analytical frameworks,and (4) simulation and analytical design. This model is demonstrated through a case study applyingHomi K. Bhabha’s Cultural Hybridity Theory to Lenong Betawi, a traditional Indonesianperformance art. The proposed framework offers practical guidance for art educators to transformstudents’ passive theoretical knowledge into active analytical and creative competence. Itcontributes to the field of art pedagogy by integrating established educational theories into acoherent, actionable strategy for teaching theory application in art practice

Abstract

This study analyzes dance as a medium of cultural acculturation through the creation of NandakZabet Tak-Tung, rooted in the Betawi cultural framework. It focuses on adapting Zapin and Samrahmovements to represent Arab-Malay Peranakan heritage, while exploring interdisciplinaryconnections with music, scenography, and other artistic elements. The research employs a qualitativemethod with systematic stages: defining focus, collecting data via direct observation, in-depthinterviews, and document analysis. Data are organized into a structured matrix to supportinterpretation.The theoretical foundation draws from Alma M. Hawkins’ creative concept in Moving from Within,translated by I Wayan Dibia, encompassing six aspects: experiencing, seeing, feeling, imagining,transforming, and forming. These guide the choreographic process, resulting in a work thatreconfigures Zapin and Samrah into a dynamic structure emphasizing movement exploration andembodiment.Through imaginative choreography inspired by local traditions, the study proposes the use of ArabMalay Peranakan-based movement to enrich Betawi dance. It contributes to the preservation andinnovation of Indonesian performing arts by integrating cultural heritage with contemporaryexpression. Ultimately, this research supports the advancement of knowledge, technology, and sociocultural development within a humanistic and locally grounded artistic landscape.

Abstract

This article aims to identify and classify the mask collections at the Mpu Tantular StateMuseum, Sidoarjo, as a visual narrative of the cultural richness of East Java and itssurrounding regions. Through in-depth identification activities conducted from September17–19, 2025, the mask collections were classified into three main variants based on regions:Topeng Malang (Malang Masks), Topeng Madura (Madura Masks), and some other regionalmasks.The Malang mask collection, the most numerous collection, represents the epic tale ofPanji Asmorobangun. Its characteristic features include symmetrical, refined carvings andthe use of philosophical colors. The green color shown by Panji symbolizes chivalry andtranquility, contrasting sharply with the fiery red possessed by Klana Sewandana, whichrepresents anger. The faded colors on the ancient masks emphasize their inherent historicaland spiritual gravitas and value as evidence of the preservation of this noble art form.The Madura mask collection, associated with the Madura’s puppet maskperformances, displays characters that reflect the resilience of the community from theMadura island, also known as the salt island. Their characteristics are simpler but firm, hard,and expressive (such as bulging eyes or fangs), implying a strong fighting spirit andstraightforward demeanor.The other regional masks group completes the Nusantara (an archipelago country)mosaic, including collections from Cirebon (such as the White Elephant mask), Yogyakarta,as well as the Sandur mask (from Jombang/ Tuban) and the Dongkrek mask (from Madiun).The presence of these masks from outside the immediate region confirms East Java’s culturalconnection and acculturation with the wider archipelago.Overall, the mask collection at the Mpu Tantular museum functions as a "spiritualwindow" that reflects the contrast and unity of values, ranging from the agrarian idealism(Malang) to the coastal fighting spirit (Madura). These artifacts are an invaluable treasurethat ensures moral philosophy and local wisdom continue to live on as an educationalmedium for future generations.
