Abstract

The concept of post-memory, introduced by Marianne Hirsch, offers a framework for understanding how collective memory is transmitted across generations. This study examines intergenerational trauma through a qualitative descriptive analysis of Christina Baker Klein's novel Orphan Train. It focuses on Vivian Daly’s traumatic experiences as an orphan train rider and their impact on her identity and familial memory. The research aims to explore how Vivian’s past shapes her understanding of her history, her role within her family narrative, and how family narratives and inherited objects contribute to preserving memory and transmitting trauma intergenerationally. Findings reveal that family narratives and objects play a critical role in maintaining memory and shaping familial identity. These elements not only preserve individual experiences but also act as conduits for transmitting collective trauma across generations. Contextually, this study highlights the broader relevance of post-memory in social situations such as migration or cultural conflict, where trauma influence’s identity formation and community ties. By situating its findings within the discourse on collective memory and trauma, this research contributes to understanding how personal and familial histories intersect to shape intergenerational identities. This study underscores the importance of considering intergenerational trauma in analysing collective memory processes. Keywords: Collective Memory; Family Narratives; Intergenerational Trauma; Post-Memory

Abstract

This study explores the hidden challenges faced by parents in educating children in the modern era, referred to as “invisible enemies”, focusing on digital technology, individualism, academic pressure, peer influence and consumerist culture. It develops adaptive and responsive strategies to address these hidden challenges as a guide for parents. Employing a literature study with a qualitative-exploratory-descriptive approach, this research analyses the risks of the modern era in child education using Ulrich Beck's risk society theory framework. The findings reveal that parents face various hidden risks, such as exposure to inappropriate digital content, social pressures that undermine collective values, and challenges in balancing child protection with fostering independence. These align with the risk society theory, characterized by the risks arising from technological advancements and social changes, which are not only physical but also psychosocial. In this context, parents act as risk mitigation agents. Their role encompasses not only protecting children from the negative impacts of these risks but also equipping them with adaptive skills, instilling collective values, providing support for emotional balance and interests and fostering independence. This study contributes scientifically to the development of parenting strategies that are more responsive to the challenges of the modern era. It also offers practical guidance for parents, educators, and policymakers to create a resilient, ethical generation capable of navigating future socio-technological dynamics. Keywords: Children; Modern Era; Parents; Risk Mitigation; Societal Risk Theory

Abstract

This article explores the impact of Baby blues on the emotional well-being of young children, focusing on how this condition affects emotional attachment and the quality of interaction between mother and child. Baby blues is a common condition experienced by mothers postpartum and can negatively influence family dynamics, particularly in child-rearing. This study occupies a significant position in the discourse of child developmental psychology by highlighting the often-overlooked emotional impact of Baby blues on children. Using a qualitative method with in-depth interviews of ten mothers who experienced Baby blues, this research employs attachment theory to analyze the collected data. The findings reveal that children of mothers with Baby blues tend to experience emotional issues such as anxiety, insecurity, and stress, which correlate with decreased interaction quality and emotional distance between mother and child. The conclusion of this study underscores the importance of early intervention and strong social support for mothers experiencing Baby blues, as well as the development of holistic strategies to minimize the negative impact on the emotional well-being of children. These findings contribute significantly to the development of policies and interventions aimed at supporting the emotional well-being of young children in families affected by Baby blues.

Abstract

The incidence of violence against women in South Kalimantan has significantly increased, from 531 cases in 2023 to 655 cases in 2024. Amid these rising numbers, a cultural narrative surrounding urang mati jadi hantu (the dead becoming ghosts) often emerges in connection with the deaths of women victims of violence. This study explores the relationship between supernatural beliefs and violence against women in Banjar society, focusing on the use of mystical practices by victims as a form of self-defense, analyzed through the lens of the Learned Helplessness theory. Using Spradley’s ethnographic method, the research was conducted across six regions in South Kalimantan, involving informants familiar with the phenomenon. The findings reveal four patterns in the use of mystical practices: to protect against social stigma, respond to physical violence, manage verbal abuse, and prevent marital infidelity. The analysis, framed by the Learned Helplessness theory, suggests that reliance on mystical practices reflects victims' powerlessness and the inadequacies of formal protection systems. Rather than alleviating their situation, these practices exacerbate it by perpetuating social stigma, even after the victim’s death. The study concludes that more effective protection systems are needed, ones that balance cultural sensitivities with concrete legal and psychosocial interventions in addressing violence against women.

Abstract

Emergent literacy is a significant foundation for early childhood literacy development; however, its implementation in non-formal education spaces, such as public libraries, remains a relatively under-researched area. The present study aims to investigate the implementation of the emergent literacy programme at Kids Library KM 6 Banjarmasin Library as an effort to support the development of children's pre-literacy skills. A qualitative approach was adopted, utilising a case study strategy to collect data through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Thematic analysis techniques were employed to analyse the collected data. The findings indicate that the programme has been meticulously conceived and methodically executed through the utilisation of storytelling activities, reading aloud, and the provision of educational play facilities, which collectively foster children's literacy development. Interactions between children, facilitators and the library environment form a holistic literacy experience. The evaluation process remains informal, yet it has been observed to demonstrate children's active engagement and an enhancement in their interest in reading. The findings of this study underscore the significance of fortifying community-based early childhood literacy through the incorporation of play-based methodologies, multisensory media, and the pivotal role of librarians as facilitators. The findings of this study make theoretical and practical contributions to the development of early childhood literacy policies and services in non-formal education institutions.

Abstract

The ongoing character crisis among Indonesian youth signifies the fragile ethical and social foundation of the younger generation. In this context, character education is no longer a supplementary initiative but an urgent necessity requiring a new approach that is not only normative but also practical and transformative. One innovative effort to address this challenge is the character education program through Military Barracks initiated by Kang Dedi Mulyadi, Governor of West Java for the 2025–2030 term. This study aims to explore the conceptual framework of character education within the program and analyze it through Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development. The research employs a qualitative literature study method. Data were collected from various academic sources, including books, scholarly articles, policy documents, and relevant media reports, and were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings reveal that the military barracks program is not built upon a repressive approach but functions as a moral laboratory that integrates military discipline, humanistic values, and intensive value formation. Participants undergo behavioral transformation through physical routines, spiritual reflection, open dialogue, and empathetic interaction with trainers and facilitators. Within Kohlberg's theoretical framework, this process shifts the participants' morality from the pre-conventional stage—driven by punishment avoidance—to the conventional and post-conventional stages, where values are embraced due to internal moral awareness rather than external pressure. This study contributes academically by highlighting the reinforcement of a contextual and humanistic approach to character education. The military barracks are shown to be a new space for value formation that not only promotes discipline but also revives integrity, empathy, and social responsibility among adolescents. This model opens up new horizons for character education policies that are more adaptive to ethical challenges in the contemporary era.

Abstract

This study developed and evaluated an Islamic-based flipped learning model for early childhood sexuality education in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The model integrates animated videos grounded in Islamic principles, addressing topics of body autonomy, privacy, and personal safety. Sixteen teachers and 96 children (aged 5–6) from four kindergartens participated. Using the ADDIE framework, the learning materials were designed and validated by experts (content validity = 4.8; media validity = 4.5). A quasi-experimental design compared the flipped learning model (47 children) with conventional storytelling using picture books (49 children). Both groups showed significant improvements between pretest and posttest (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank, p < 0.001). However, the experimental group outperformed the control group with higher posttest scores (M = 96.70 vs. 72.76; Mann-Whitney U = 102.000, Z = -7.933, p < 0.001, r = 0.81). These findings demonstrate that integrating Islamic values into a flipped learning approach, supported by parental involvement, is more effective than traditional methods. The model provides a culturally appropriate strategy for strengthening child protection and improving early sexuality education in Muslim-majority contexts.
