Abstract

Background: Education plays a crucial role in improving a country's economy, particularly through entrepreneurship education. With rapid technological advancements, the traditional entrepreneurship model has evolved into technopreneurship, which focuses on digitalization and industrial transformation. However, many educational institutions lack a clear and adequate understanding of this concept, necessitating effective learning methods that enable students to grasp and apply the principles of technopreneurialism. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a multimodal-based learning model in technopreneurship education to enhance entrepreneurial creativity among equality education students. Research Method: The research employs a qualitative case study method. Data collection was carried out through observation, documentation, and interviews with 10 participants, consisting of students and teachers from an equality education school. Research Findings: The findings indicate that the multimodal-based learning model successfully created a more interactive, communicative, and active learning environment. In the context of technopreneurship, this model was shown to increase students' confidence and communication skills, allowing them to engage in discussions and interact effectively. Research Conclusion: Multimodal-based learning effectively enhances students' creativity and multimodal literacy, which has a positive impact on the innovation, development of ideas, and products with high commercial value. The curriculum for technology-based entrepreneurship education must continuously adapt to the needs of the business market to fully leverage this potential. Research Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the application of a multimodal-based learning model within the specific context of technopreneurship education in equality schools. This study demonstrates that this method not only improves technological literacy but also significantly boosts students' creativity and self-confidence in developing innovative business ideas.

Abstract

Background - Early childhood education based on local wisdom is important to develop children’s potential holistically, nurture various aspects of their development, preserve cultural heritage, strengthen national identity, and at the same time make education more contextual and meaningful. Research Urgency - The urgency of this research lies in the need to preserve local wisdom in early childhood education amid the rapid influence of globalization. Current practices often emphasize academic achievement while neglecting cultural values and contextual learning. Without immediate efforts, there is a risk that younger generations will lose connection to their cultural identity. This study is therefore crucial to provide a holistic learning model that not only fosters children’s development but also strengthens cultural identity and ensures meaningful, context-based education. Research Objectives - This study aims to analyze the implementation of early childhood education based on local wisdom in PAUD Terpadu Citra Bakti and to formulate recommendations for a contextual and culturally responsive learning model that supports the holistic development of young children. Research Method - The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving teachers, children, and parents. The data analysis technique used Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which consists of data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Research Findings - The findings reveal that the implementation of local wisdom-based learning has a positive impact on children. These positive impacts include introducing and familiarizing children with cultural values from an early age, enhancing active participation in learning activities, utilizing local culture as a contextual learning resource, and fostering the development of children’s abilities through various learning activities. Research Conclusion – The implementation of local wisdom-based learning in PAUD Terpadu Citra Bakti has proven to be an effective means of introducing, instilling, and preserving culture from an early age. Thus, local wisdom-based learning not only strengthens children’s cultural identity but also stimulates the development of cognitive, socio-emotional, language, and motor skills. Research Novelty/Contribution - The novelty of this research lies in its analysis of early childhood education practices that genuinely integrate local wisdom into the teaching and learning process. Rather than merely describing cultural values, this study examines how local wisdom is utilized as learning resources, teaching methods, and a means of fostering children’s holistic development. Thus, the research demonstrates that local wisdom can serve as a pedagogical approach that is relevant, contextual, and meaningful for early childhood education.

Abstract

Background - The low level of productive digital literacy skills among equality education learners in Community Learning Centers (CLC) has become a major challenge to community empowerment in the digital era. Digital literacy training in CLC is still conventional, lecture-centered, and lacks contextual relevance. Research Urgency -  Non-formal education institutions need innovative and participatory learning models to strengthen digital competence and creativity among learners. However, existing digital literacy programs remain limited to basic operational skills and have not yet developed productive digital capabilities. Research Objectives - This study aims to develop a productive digital literacy training model based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) that is innovative, participatory, and contextually appropriate for equality education learners in CLC. Research Method - The research used a modified Borg and Gall Research and Development (R&D) model, consisting of nine stages: preliminary study, planning, initial product development, expert validation, limited trial, first product revision, large-scale trial, second product revision, and dissemination. The research subjects were equality education learners from three PKBM in West Bandung Regency. Research Findings - The findings show that learners’ productive digital literacy skills were initially low, particularly in content evaluation, knowledge construction, and digital content creation. The developed PjBL model was validated as highly feasible (average score of 82.7%). Model implementation demonstrated good adherence to the PjBL syntax (85.2%) and positive responses from both learners and tutors (85.3%). The large-scale trial showed a 25.4% improvement in digital literacy, with N-Gain values categorized as moderate to high. Research Conclusion - The PjBL-based training model effectively enhances the productive digital literacy skills of PKBM learners, promoting active learning and digital creativity in non-formal education settings. Research Novelty/Contribution - This study contributes theoretically by integrating the PjBL framework into digital literacy training within non-formal education, and practically by offering an applicable model for PKBM institutions, policymakers, and community educators to improve digital empowerment programs.

Abstract

Background: While matrilineal parenting influences adolescent character, Western-derived parenting typologies are often applied monolithically, obscuring nuanced, role-specific practices within kinship-based systems. Aim: This study examines how parenting practices by mothers, fathers, and maternal uncles (mamak) are differentially associated with twelve adolescent character strengths in Minangkabau, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 296 primary caregivers used a culturally contextualized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test multivariate relationships between nine parenting dimensions (three practices × three caregivers) and character outcomes. Results: Mother’s authoritative practices positively predicted all character strengths. Mamak’s authoritarian practices displayed dual effects: positively predicting discipline and respect but negatively predicting honesty and creativity. Father’s authoritative practices fostered independence and confidence, while his permissiveness was particularly detrimental. Discussion/Implication: Findings reveal a specialized “parenting ensemble,” where effects depend on the cultural legitimacy of the caregiver’s role. This challenges universal parenting models and suggests family support programs must be role-specific: strengthening authoritative communication universally, refining the mamak’s disciplinary approach, and clarifying the father’s unique supportive niche to holistically foster adolescent character

Abstract

Background: Women's empowerment is an important component of sustainable development. However, gender inequality remains evident in Indonesia's agricultural sector. Although women account for about 36.7% of the agricultural workforce, their contributions are often viewed only as supporting roles rather than as primary actors. Women Farmers Groups (WFG) have emerged as grassroots organizations that promote women's empowerment through non-formal education programs, including skills development, entrepreneurship training, financial literacy, and awareness of women's rights. Research Urgency: Previous studies on WFG empowerment mainly emphasize economic outcomes, while psychological empowerment such as self-confidence and personal potential development has received limited attention. Understanding these aspects is important to strengthen women’s participation and independence in rural communities. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyze the empowerment process through non-formal education programs in WFG, focusing on strengthening women's self-confidence and personal potential, as well as identifying supporting and inhibiting factors. Research Method: This study employed a qualitative case study approach with data were collected through interviews with six informants, observations, and documentation analysis. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman’s interactive model combined with Longwe’s gender empowerment framework. Research Findings: The findings show that empowerment occurs through four stages: awareness building, capacity development, participation, and self-reliance. Non-formal education programs such as skills training, life skills education, entrepreneurship training, and literacy activities significantly increased members’ confidence and potential. Internal support from leadership and member commitment, along with external institutional support, strengthened the empowerment process despite challenges related to time limitations and diverse member capacities. Research Conclusion: Non-formal education within women farmers groups provides an effective approach to strengthening women’s psychological and social empowerment in rural agricultural communities. Research Novelty: This study highlights psychological empowerment through non-formal education within women farmers groups, a dimension rarely explored in previous research that mainly focused on economic outcomes.
