Abstract

This study assesses the combined effects of Inquiry-Based Learning, Technology Integration, and Peer Mentoring on educators' Professional Competence in Indonesia. In this quantitative study, a sample size of 86 respondents was drawn through simple random sampling. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale used for measuring perceptions about the variables. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, along with multiple linear regression. The results showed that all three independent variables significantly and positively predict Professional Competence, jointly accounting for 68.3% of the variance. Among these, inquiry-based learning had the strongest individual effect, followed by peer mentoring and technology integration. These findings support the integrated approach in professional development programs. This study offers valuable suggestions for policymakers and educational stakeholders to further improve the professional competencies of teachers, leading to a better quality of education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of zakat transparency and government support on community trust and poverty alleviation in West Java. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 respondents through a structured questionnaire employing a Likert scale (1-5). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results reveal that both zakat transparency and government support positively influence community trust, which acts as a mediator between zakat transparency, government support, and poverty alleviation. The findings indicate that when zakat institutions are transparent and the government provides adequate support, community trust is fostered, leading to more effective poverty alleviation efforts. This study underscores the importance of transparency and government involvement in poverty reduction programs, offering valuable implications for policymakers and zakat institutions.

Abstract

Digitalization has become a disruption worldwide, including in Indonesia. One dominant aspect of this phenomenon is digital transactions. Bank of Indonesia (BI) reported that the cumulative value of electronic money transactions for the period of January to August 2024 reached IDR 1.6 quadrillion, representing a 35.76% growth compared to IDR 1.18 quadrillion (yoy). This highlights the role of digital transactions as a solution and convenience for various activities, including online crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is a rooted culture in Indonesia and demonstrates sustainable economic benefits in West Java. This activity does not always run smoothly, as issues arise within crowdfunding management institutions, leading to societal trust issues. Based on this phenomenon, strengthening the digital ecosystem in West Java is worthy of study. This research aims to measure society's digital competence level about digital transaction activities, particularly crowdfunding. This research uses a descriptive analysis method with a quantitative approach. Primary data from 258 respondents were obtained through questionnaire distribution targeting urban and rural communities in West Java was employed. The data were analyzed using simple regression analysis. The results show that the level of digital competence in society is not yet optimal; however, digital competence significantly influences digital transaction activities positively. Therefore, exploration is needed to establish credible crowdfunding management in West Java.

Abstract

The circular economy has emerged as a transformative approach to addressing the global plastic waste crisis by emphasizing resource recovery, recycling, and sustainability. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research dynamics in circular economy and plastic management, utilizing data exclusively from the Scopus database and analyzed with VOSviewer. Key findings reveal significant growth in research activity over the past two decades, with central themes such as "circular economy," "waste management," and "plastic waste" dominating the field. The analysis identifies strong international collaborations, with countries like the United Kingdom, China, and India serving as key contributors. Emerging topics, including "pyrolysis" and "sustainable development," indicate a shift toward innovative technologies and broader sustainability goals. Despite advancements, gaps remain in understanding the socioeconomic implications of circular economy practices and consumer behavior's role in driving sustainability. This study provides critical insights into the research landscape, guiding future studies and policy frameworks toward effective and equitable plastic management solutions.
