Abstract

This study aims to explore the influence of cultural values on the eating habits of Program Pendidikan Kompetensi Umum IPB University students, representing the younger generation in a multicultural and globalized context. Employing a nutritional anthropology approach and qualitative methods through observation and in-depth interviews with students from diverse cultural backgrounds the research finds that food functions not only as a biological need but also as a marker of identity and cultural heritage. Family upbringing and pride in traditional cuisine are key factors influencing students’ food preferences. Despite living in a dynamic and modern academic environment, many students continue to maintain their regional dietary practices as a form of emotional connection and cultural preservation. The findings suggest that student eating patterns result from a complex interaction between culture, self-identity, and social surroundings. Therefore, nutrition intervention programs in university settings should be designed with cultural sensitivity. Providing healthy food options inspired by regional flavors and involving families in nutrition education can promote more sustainable and culturally rooted eating habits.

Abstract

"First love" is often understood as the earliest romantic relationship, but evidence from psycholinguistics, interpersonal communication, and autobiographical memory suggests that it is more accurately conceptualized as a narrative cognitive status. This article presents a structured narrative review and introduces a minimal measurement framework for assessing this status through three indicators: the WE Index, defined as the proportion of “we/us” pronouns relative to personal pronouns and love labels or metaphors; Perceived Responsiveness; and Age Event Compatibility as a proxy for cultural scripts. Drawing on a synthesis of more than 100 peer reviewed studies, the article proposes a process model linking WE Index to Responsiveness, Event Centrality, and First Love Labeling, with emotional intensity and age event fit acting as contextual drivers or moderators. The synthesis reveals consistent patterns: a higher WE Index is associated with higher perceived responsiveness; responsiveness facilitates shared reminiscing and increases event centrality; and higher centrality predicts the labeling of an experience as “first love,” particularly when age event expectations are culturally congruent. The article also outlines a rapid operationalization package, including a 5 to 10 minute speech sample, a brief responsiveness scale, a short age event fit check, and a concise centrality measure, designed for replication in small scale research and educational contexts. As a narrative review, this framework does not estimate effect sizes and is subject to heterogeneity and retrospective bias across included studies, indicating the need for future empirical testing.

Abstract

This study explored common reading difficulties among Standard Six pupils in public primary schools in Tanzania. Employing a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focused group discussions (FGDs) involving 54 participants: seven (7) Head teachers, five (5) external school quality assurers, six (6) English teachers, and thirty-six (36) Standard Six pupils. Findings indicated that reading was a critical challenge among the pupils, particularly in areas such as fluency, decoding, comprehension, and vocabulary. Cognitive constraints, particularly memory issues, further exacerbate these difficulties. This study recommends targeted interventions, including the use of interactive instructional strategies and enhanced teaching and learning environments, such as access to learning materials and the utilization of teaching aids, to promote reading skills and memory retention among pupils.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of local wisdom embedded in the Hedung Huriq dance as a pedagogical resource for Social Studies (IPS) and Civic Education (PKn) in elementary schools. The research positions Hedung Huriq not only as a cultural performance but as a repository of historical memory, social norms, and civic values that are vital for character learning. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews with cultural leaders and teachers, direct observations of symbolic dance movements, and document analysis. The findings show that Hedung Huriq encapsulates values of cooperation, discipline, responsibility, respect for ancestral customs, conflict resolution, and cultural identity formation. These values align with IPS competencies related to cultural understanding, social interaction, and historical reasoning, as well as PKn competencies concerning democratic values, social responsibility, and national identity. The study proposes an ethnopedagogical integration model that includes curriculum alignment, project-based cultural inquiry, reflective learning cycles, and collaboration with local cultural actors. The model demonstrates how traditional arts can foster motivation, deepen cultural awareness, and strengthen civic character. This research contributes to the limited literature on dance-based ethnopedagogy and offers a context-specific framework for embedding local wisdom into elementary-school learning.

Abstract

The collapse of global commodity markets during the 1929 economic crisis profoundly affected export-oriented colonial industries, including the sugar sector in the Dutch East Indies. While previous studies have examined the macroeconomic decline of the Javanese sugar industry during the Great Depression, limited attention has been given to how global market shocks reshaped labor conditions and local industrial structures at the factory level. This study investigates the impact of the 1929 global economic crisis on the labor conditions and structural transformation of the Sragi Sugar Factory in Pekalongan Regency during the period 1928–1933. Using historical research methods, the study analyzes colonial statistical reports, archival documents, newspapers, and secondary historical literature through heuristic, source criticism, interpretation, and historiographical synthesis. The findings show that the collapse of global sugar prices, which fell from approximately ƒ14.25 per quintal in 1929 to ƒ3.46 in 1934, triggered drastic production reductions across Java. At the Sragi Sugar Factory, these pressures led to significant structural changes, including production restrictions under the Chadbourne Agreement, declining plantation areas, and workforce reductions exceeding 60 percent. Labor conditions deteriorated through wage cuts of up to 50 percent, the replacement of permanent employment with daily contract labor, and increased economic vulnerability among workers and their families. Beyond immediate labor impacts, the crisis also transformed the regional economic structure as sugarcane cultivation declined and workers shifted toward subsistence agriculture and alternative sectors. This study contributes to the historiography of colonial economic history by demonstrating how global commodity crises reshaped labor relations and industrial organization at the local level within the plantation economy of colonial Java.

Abstract

Climate change necessitates behavioral transformation among Generation Z, who are heavily influenced by TikTok. This study analyzes the impact of TikTok exposure on pro-environmental behavior among Universitas Padjadjaran students using the Theory of Planned Behavior. Data from 310 respondents were processed using SEM-PLS. Results indicate that TikTok exposure significantly is significantly associated with attitudes and subjective norms, driving environmental intentions and actions. A critical finding reveals that attitude (T-Stat 10.761) serves as a stronger mediator than subjective norms (T-Stat 6.943), suggesting that personal conviction outweighs social pressure. The model shows strong predictive power, with behavioral intention demonstrating a strong association with pro-environmental behavior (T-Stat 101.724). In conclusion, TikTok effectively mobilizes environmental action by internalizing personal values rather than mere social conformity.

Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct the historical development of Kampung Pecinan Lasem, one of the oldest Chinese settlements in Indonesia, throughout the twentieth century. Although Lasem has long been recognized as an important historical settlement, scholarly discussions have largely focused on Chinatowns in larger urban centers, leaving smaller historical communities such as Lasem relatively underexplored. This research therefore examines the transformation of Kampung Pecinan Lasem through three interconnected dimensions: architectural development, Chinese–Javanese cultural acculturation, and socio-economic dynamics. The study employs the historical method, which includes heuristics through field observations, interviews, and document studies, followed by source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The findings indicate that the development of Kampung Pecinan Lasem was strongly influenced by major political transitions in Indonesia, from the colonial period and Japanese occupation to the independence revolution and the New Order era. These changes shaped the transformation of architectural forms from traditional Chinese–Javanese structures into hybrid forms incorporating European and modern elements while maintaining symbolic cultural features. Cultural acculturation also occurred in everyday practices such as batik production, religious rituals, language use, and culinary traditions, resulting in the emergence of a distinctive local identity known as “Cina Lasem.” In addition, the settlement played an important socio-economic role as a center of trade and batik production that supported local economic networks involving both Chinese entrepreneurs and Javanese workers. These findings demonstrate that Kampung Pecinan Lasem represents a historically resilient cultural landscape where architectural hybridity, cultural interaction, and economic cooperation enabled the community to adapt to changing political and social conditions throughout the twentieth century.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of power and social stratification within pesantren and madrasah through a critical sociological lens. The analysis incorporates Max Weber’s theory of authority, Antonio Gramsci’s concept of hegemony, and Pierre Bourdieu’s framework of habitus, capital, and symbolic violence. Findings reveal that the authority of the Kyai is legitimized through scholarly lineage and spiritual obedience, producing a stable hierarchical structure supported by cultural hegemony. Social stratification emerges through a combination of ascribed status (genealogy) and achieved status (religious competence and functional roles), including the strategic contributions of the Nyai, Senior Students, and Santri Ndalem. Modernization and labor-market demands have stimulated structural changes, generating new institutional stratification between traditional (salaf) and modern pesantren. The study concludes that pesantren represents a dynamic social arena where spiritual power, social hierarchy, and modern pressures interact, shaping institutional resilience and the social mobility of its alumni.

Abstract

Performance management constitutes a strategic instrument through which banking organizations align corporate objectives with individual employee contributions. In an increasingly competitive banking environment, the effectiveness of performance appraisal systems plays a critical role in sustaining productivity and service quality (Armstrong, 2014). Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), with its strong focus on the microfinance sector, relies on Mantri (microcredit officers) as the frontline in credit distribution and micro-customer management (Megawaty, 2016). The performance appraisal of BRI’s Mantri is primarily based on the achievement of business targets, particularly loan disbursement, alongside the fulfillment of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) encompassing both quantitative and qualitative dimensions (PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia, 2018). This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Mantri performance appraisal system by examining the balance between target achievement and other KPI components. A qualitative case study approach was employed at one BRI unit, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct work observations, and analysis of performance appraisal documents. The findings indicate that target achievement remains the dominant factor in Mantri performance evaluation. However, qualitative indicators such as Non-Performing Loan (NPL) levels, procedural compliance, and behavioral competencies significantly influence final performance ratings. These findings suggest that high target achievement alone does not guarantee superior performance appraisal outcomes when other KPI dimensions are not adequately fulfilled. Conversely, Mantri who slightly underperform in meeting targets but maintain strong credit quality and demonstrate sound professional behavior may still receive favorable evaluations. The study highlights the importance of balancing target-oriented and quality-oriented indicators to ensure sustainable and fair performance appraisal practices within BRI.

Abstract

A persistent Problem facing South African secondary learners today is still learner ill-discipline, which under-mines the effectiveness of teaching and learning. This qualitative case study investigated the forms of learner ill-discipline existing in Grade 10 classes at a particular high school in South Africa. A total of eight people participated in the inquiries, including six Grade 10 students from the school because of which this study took place, a subject teacher, and the principal. To generate data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the school principal, teachers, and students. In addition, non-participant observations were made in class and outside. It was found that the prevailing forms of learner ill-discipline were many, including late-coming and absenteeism, improper dressing, use of cell phones during lessons, refusal to do one's homework and lack of academic responsibility, and disruption in class. Such conduct was found to rob instructional time, weaken learner engagement and challenge teacher–learner relations. The findings are consistent with prior studies by others that document truancy, interference in the classroom and school rules were central disciplinary problems in secondary education. The study concludes that in Grade 10 ill-discipline among learners reflects several incompatible elements, but echoing one another at school as well as among learners. This kind of situation demands our attention in action, teaching approaches and policy direction.
