Abstract

The handling of problematic students in schools has become an important issue in the world of education, especially when the policies taken cause controversy. One policy that has attracted a lot of public attention is sending troubled students to military barracks as a form of character building and discipline. This policy has sparked debate in the community because it involves approaches, educational values, and long-term impacts on the psychological development of students. This research also aims to analyze the implementation of the policy from various perspectives, including local government, school, parents, students and psychology education experts. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through documentation studies and secondary interview analysis. The results showed that the policy of sending troubled students to military barracks reaped pros and cons, although it received support from several parties because it was considered to form discipline and character, many parties considered the militaristic approach was not in accordance with the principles of humanistic education and had the potential to cause psychological impacts and violations of human rights. This research concludes that in an effort to foster troubled students, the approach should pay attention to the balance between discipline and empathy, and prioritize pedagogical principles and the protection of children's rights. Therefore, a more participatory, evidence-based policy formulation is needed and involves the active role of all parties to create a fair and effective education system in dealing with deviant behavior in the school environment. Keywords: Education policy, Problem students, Military barracks, Multi-stakeholder perspective, West Java.

Abstract

The system of government is the fundamental structure in state administration that determines the direction of power management, the relationship between state institutions, and the form of interaction between the government and the people. Constitutionally, Indonesia adheres to a presidential system of government as stated in the 1945 Constitution. However, in practice, this system has undergone adjustments and influences from the parliamentary system, resulting in a unique and distinctive model of governance. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the presidential system in Indonesia, evaluate its strengths and weaknesses, and examine the dynamics of transformation and adaptation of the system within the socio-political context of Indonesia. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review by analyzing academic literature, scientific journals, constitutional documents, as well as historical and legislative studies. The findings indicate that Indonesia’s presidential system offers strengths such as executive stability, strong legitimacy from voters, policy consistency, and clear separation of powers. However, it also has weaknesses including the potential for power concentration, difficulty in leadership transition, deadlocks between the executive and legislative branches, and lack of flexibility during crises. In practice, Indonesia's presidential system has undergone hybridization through the adoption of parliamentary elements, especially in the legislative oversight mechanisms over the president. Therefore, the presidential system in Indonesia cannot be understood as a rigid model, but rather as an evolving and adaptive system that aligns with the needs of democracy and national political realities. This study recommends the strengthening of checks and balances mechanisms as well as institutional reforms to ensure a more effective, democratic, and accountable system of governance.

Abstract

The implementation of the Non-Cash Food Assistance Program (BPNT) in Karangmulya Village, Kadungora District, Garut Regency, still faces several challenges that hinder its overall effectiveness. One major problem is the lack of coordination between implementing officers and Beneficiary Families (KPM), which leads to an increase in the number of recipients each year without proper verification. Furthermore, some officers do not fully understand their responsibilities in managing the program, resulting in frequent errors in targeting assistance. This study aims to analyze how BPNT is implemented at the village level. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with George C. Edward III's implementation theory (in Subarsono, 2011: 90–92) as its analytical tool, focusing on four indicators: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Data were collected through observation, interviews with relevant stakeholders, and documentation. The findings indicate that implementation in Karangmulya Village is not optimal and remains inconsistent with the established policy objectives. Many residents still do not know how to access or benefit from this program. Therefore, systematic and widespread community outreach is urgently needed. Through consistent outreach and interagency coordination, the village government can gradually improve program understanding, targeting accuracy, and overall service delivery.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the public policy on street children enforcement implemented by the Social Services Department of Bandung City. The issue of street children in Bandung City is a complex social phenomenon that requires serious attention from the Social Services Department. Despite various enforcement efforts, the number of street children remains fluctuating from year to year. The study also identifies the challenges and efforts made in its implementation.  This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation, using the Miles and Huberman data analysis model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Informants in the study were purposively selected from the Social Services Agency, Satpol PP, and street children as the target group of the policy. Policy evaluation was conducted based on six indicators from William N. Dunn (Dailati, 2018), namely effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results of the study indicate that policy evaluation is not yet fully optimal across all indicators. The obstacles faced include budget constraints, inadequate facilities, lack of coordination between institutions, and minimal involvement of street children's families. Efforts that have been made include outreach, guidance, and cross-sectoral cooperation, but these have not been able to resolve the root of the problem comprehensively. Therefore, a more integrative, sustainable, and child-friendly policy strategy is needed.

Abstract

This study employs a qualitative research method to examine the implementation of the PASTI OKE application at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Garut Regency. The objective of this research is to understand how the PASTI OKE application is implemented at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Garut Regency. This study is motivated by the fact that the majority of the public are unaware that population administration services are now available online. The techniques used to collect data in this study include interviews, documentation, and observation. The data analysis process involves steps such as reducing data, presenting data, and finally drawing conclusions. The number of research informants is three people. The results of the study indicate that one of the factors hindering the implementation of the PASTI OKE application is the community, particularly the elderly and residents with limited access to digital technology. To address this, the Population and Civil Registration Office has assigned two staff members to each sub-district to socialize and assist the community in using population services through the PASTI OKE application.

Abstract

The transformation of religious communication in the digital era has positioned social media as a new space for disseminating religious values. TikTok, as one of the most popular platforms in Indonesia, functions not only as a source of entertainment but also as an arena for contesting religious discourse. This study aims to examine the role of TikTok in shaping the discourse of religious moderation among the younger generation. The method employed is a literature review using a thematic approach, involving analysis of various academic publications from 2020 to 2025 that are relevant to the themes of religious moderation, social media, and digital communication. The findings indicate that several TikTok content creators have successfully represented the values of moderation—such as tawasuth (moderation), tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balance), and i’tidal (justice)—through visual storytelling, informal language, and communication strategies that are contextual and adaptive to digital culture. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, such as the dominance of extreme religious narratives, negative audience responses, and limited digital literacy. This study concludes that TikTok holds strategic potential for disseminating messages of moderate and inclusive religiosity, provided that appropriate communication strategies are employed, digital literacy is strengthened, and collaboration is fostered among content creators, communities, and religious institutions through the establishment of a systematic and organized moderation content task force.

Abstract

In recent years, identity politics has been increasingly used in political contests in Indonesia. Identities such as religion, ethnicity, and race are exploited by political actors to gain support, often in ways that divide society. This raises concerns about the disruption of national unity. In such situations, religious moderation becomes an important approach to maintaining social harmony. Religious moderation emphasizes fairness, balance, tolerance, and respect for diversity. This study aims to examine how religious moderation can be a strategy in dealing with identity politics that has the potential to undermine national unity. The method used is a literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was obtained from scientific journals, books, and relevant national policy documents from the past 10 years. The results of the study show that although the concept of religious moderation has become part of government policy, its implementation in society still faces many challenges, such as a lack of understanding at the community level and the use of religious issues in politics by the elite. Therefore, strategies to strengthen moderation need to be implemented through inclusive education, the involvement of religious and community leaders, digital campaigns that appeal to the younger generation, and the strengthening of social activities that foster cooperation across groups. With these steps, religious moderation can become a real force in building a peaceful, inclusive, and united Indonesia.

Abstract

Amidst the rapid development of digital politics, social media has become a discursive space that influences patterns of religious interaction in Indonesia. Platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter are not only means of communication, but also battlegrounds for narratives between religious moderation and extremism. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of how social media contributes to strengthening the values of religious moderation through a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature review method. The findings reveal that young people, digital religious figures, and online communities play a crucial role in spreading messages of peace through creative, educational, and contextual content. However, challenges such as low digital literacy, algorithmic echo chambers, and the politicization of religion in digital campaigns remain major obstacles. Therefore, synergy between the government, civil society, and digital platforms is needed to make social media a strategic tool in building an inclusive, tolerant, and sustainable space for religious diversity.

Abstract

The phenomenon of religious and political polarization has created serious pressure on religious moderation work, both in India and Indonesia. In India, interfaith activists who strive to maintain harmony between Hindu and Muslim communities often face stigmatization, labeling themselves as "anti-national," and pressure from the politically dominant majority group. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, religious moderation activists also experience high social and psychological burdens, especially after the 2024 election which was colored by identity sentiment and religious-based disinformation. This article attempts to comparatively review the forms of burnout experienced by moderation activists in both countries, and explain the patterns of structural, digital, and cultural pressures that make tolerance work increasingly vulnerable and marginalized. Through a qualitative approach with literature studies, this article shows that the struggle of moderation activists is not only about defending diversity, but also about surviving amidst increasingly extreme identity politics. These findings invite readers to understand that religious moderation requires social protection, policy support, and strengthening of a healthy digital space to prevent systemic fatigue that can endanger democracy itself.
