Abstract

The role of Indonesian academies as science communicators evolves together with changing government regimes. Globally, science academies are typically not-for-profit, independent academic communities committed to providing advice for the nation in matters pertaining to science and technology. In Indonesia, science academies are historically formed under state regimes. This article, drawing on Niilo Kauppi’s framework, examines five years of science communication by the Indonesian Academy of Sciences, and two organizations under its auspices: the Indonesian Young Academy of Sciences and the Indonesian Science Fund. It reflects on their efforts to bridge the gaps between science, policy, and the public. Within the academy’s network, at times members relinguish their scientific identities to occupy the space between government and public — which in certain contexts might become disadvantageous. This is especially so in conditions where unequal power is held between the State and scientists, where the mobilization of resources, relationships, and symbols of sciences — staples for science communication —becomes ineffective.

Abstract

One of the sectors and regions affected by the recession in Indonesia’s economic condition is Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Yogyakarta. Some of the problems that arise include a decrease in MSME turnover, which leads to a reduction in the number of employees. MSMEs need to maintain their businesses if they need to keep up with increasingly rapid technological developments in the online realm in their marketing strategies. The method used in this research is community-based research (CBR) based on cases in the field, which takes the MSME community as the research objective studied through digitalization on social media, especially Instagram. This study aims to discover how MSMEs can innovate in selling through online channels via social media, especially Instagram, to increase sales of these MSMEs. The media used is Instagram, so MSMEs can develop more in online marketing. The results of this research identify the formation of an Instagram social media account complete with the MSME logo and the structure of the Instagram feed used to increase sales during the recession. The empowerment that continues to synergize with various parties will be one of the strengths of developing MSMEs.

Abstract

VR has emerged as a promising tool for revolutionizing science education, offering immersive and interactive experiences that can enhance student understanding. It holds significant potential as a communication medium for explaining the complexities of science in classroom settings. Despite its potential, VR’s penetration in science education remains limited. This research explored the facets influencing VR adoption in education, focusing on science teachers' perspectives in Jakarta. Using a qualitative approach, the study investigates how the SCOT concept, grounded in communication theory, affects the adoption of VR in the educational sector. Key themes identified included the role of networking, school culture, socioeconomic disparities, policies, and pedagogical considerations. Teacher characteristics—such as openness to innovation and collaborative skills—were found to act as catalysts for adoption. Conversely, resistance to change and limited access to resources emerged as significant obstacles. The research underscores communication plays a pivotal role in the diffusion of VR technology in educational contexts. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and technology developers. This research contributes to education sector by providing a nuanced understanding about social construction in VR adoption, complementing prior quantitative studies.

Abstract

This study examines the policy of raising subsidized fuel prices in Indonesia through a dramaturgical lens, employing discourse analysis as its methodology. Each fuel price increase triggers intense political debates, involving key governmental figures and eliciting diverse public responses. The research contrasts two pivotal periods: the policy decisions during President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's administration in 2013 and those under President Joko Widodo in 2022. Using a dramaturgical framework, the study analyzes the dimensions of scripting, setting, staging, and performance in policymaking, highlighting how each administration constructs distinct policy narratives. In 2013, the policy faced significant opposition and robust public discourse. In contrast, by 2022, media strategies were strategically employed to shape the narrative and mitigate dissent. The findings reveal contrasting approaches by the two administrations in managing the political and social consequences of the fuel price increases. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of public policy in the context of economic and political challenges, emphasizing the critical role of communication strategies in the implementation of contentious policies.

Abstract

Brands, including AGAVILab, have implemented an Instagram content management strategy to address the challenges of building brand awareness, which is particularly important for startups not yet well-known to the public. Therefore, the company needs to enhance its efforts to create brand awareness, which is crucial for consumers when choosing products. As a startup that provides biotechnology research materials, AGAVILab is not yet well-known to the public. Therefore, the company needs to enhance its efforts to create brand awareness, which is crucial for consumers when choosing products. This research aims to describe how AGAVILab manages its Instagram content to build brand awareness using storytelling techniques. The study employs Regina Luttrell's Circular Model of SoMe for Social Communication to explain the content management process and Maylanny Christin's Triangle of Storytelling to illustrate the relationships among the key components in storytelling content. The research follows a descriptive qualitative approach conducted over nine months, from April to December 2023. The primary sources include social media monitoring of the @agavi.lab Instagram account, interviews, and literature reviews. The findings reveal that AGAVILab's content management strategy aims to increase brand awareness and public trust in its products. This strategy comprises four stages: analyzing the Instagram account, designing and producing content, maintaining audience engagement, and evaluating performance. AGAVILab seeks to establish a strong brand presence and foster engagement with its target audience through this approach. The study provides practical implications for startups in niche industries seeking to build digital brand visibility and offers a theoretical contribution by contextualizing social media storytelling as an effective communication strategy within the biotechnology sector.

Abstract

This study explores a comparative analysis of Germany and Indonesia in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of addressing cross-cultural dimensions in global health crises—a field that remains underexplored. By enhancing preparedness for future emergencies, the research critically examines whether theoretical assumptions developed in Global North contexts can be meaningfully extended to Global South settings. Specifically, this study hypothesizes that political predispositions, media use, and media evaluation are associated with policy malaise, and investigates these associations in light of cross-cultural differences. Using data from Germany (n = 1,458) and Indonesia (n = 1,043), the findings reveal significant differences between the two nations in the prevalence of political predispositions, media consumption habits, media evaluations, and levels of policy malaise. Further analysis demonstrates that while assumptions developed and tested within Global North contexts are partially applicable to Global South settings, the observed effect sizes vary. Finally, the study situates its results within the distinct cultural and political contexts of each nation, offering a nuanced critique of how social constructs shape policy perceptions in non-Western societies.
