Abstract

Background: The ethno-pedagogical-based educational approach serves as a medium for the socialization of cultural values, as it contains local content that assists individuals in their social lives. Ethnopedagogical education becomes a variant of the learning process that is conducted by studying local arts in each region. One of these local arts is the Rejang Dance of Pedawa Village. This dance contains cultural values that can provide behavioral orientation to the people of Pedawa Village, especially young women. This research aims to analyze the existence of the Rejang Dance of Pedawa Village as an ethno-pedagogical basis that can be optimized in developing the character of young women. Methods: Research on the Rejang Dance of Pedawa Village as a medium for developing adolescent character based on ethno-pedagogy using a qualitative approach. The data analysis techniques from this research consist of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. This research uses a data collection process consisting of interviews, observations, and document studies. Findings: Dance is considered to develop social, emotional, and cognitive intelligence. Learning dance can serve as a medium for improving social intelligence because its teaching emphasizes interaction within learning groups. The desire to continue learning will also shape the character of "self-regulation," where individuals can control themselves and evaluate themselves. The actions and solutions created are not merely formalities but hold significance. Through non-formal educational institutions (traditional villages), character-building youth have the responsible freedom to take all kinds of actions, that are oriented towards the public. Action becomes an embodiment, that students as learners have a contextual orientation, what is obtained is not only enjoyed theoretically but also implemented practically. This is the habitus and utility of education in building students' character in the dimension of "cultural capital." Conclusion: On the other hand, the existence of art attraction can also be used to improve character values for teenage girls. Novelty/Originality of this article: In Ethno pedagogy, the Rejang Dance of Pedawa Village can be seen as an opportunity to instill character and emotional values by integrating traditional elements into character-based learning elements.

Abstract

Background: This qualitative study examines the factors driving the international marriage migration of Thai women to Indian men in the digital age, focusing on how socio-cultural and religious themes are expressed through their YouTube channels and Facebook pages. Methods The research uses a desktop methodology to analyze secondary data, including publicly available videos, posts, comments, and interactions from six selected YouTube channels, each boasting over 100,000 views and active user communities relevant to the topic. Data collection occurred from September to November 2024. The study integrates concepts from globalization, Robert Sternberg’s Triangle Theory of Love, intercultural communication, identity, and diaspora to dissect these dynamics by content analysis. Key findings include the stages of meeting and falling in love, the adaptation process to new family environments, and content produced on social media addressing themes like food culture, religious practices, cultural values, and child-rearing methods. The audience's reflections on these topics were also analyzed. Finding: Although India's population of Thai wives is relatively small, their YouTube and social media platforms have attracted international attention. This visibility can foster greater socio-cultural and religious understanding between India and Thailand, promoting interconnectedness and cooperation in the region. If the Thai embassy and consulates in India were to facilitate a network for these Thai wives, they could effectively champion “Thainess” within the context of “Indianness.” As “civilian ambassadors,” these women could enhance cultural diplomacy between the two nations, contributing to stronger ties and mutual respect. Conclusion: No studies have investigated Thai wives in India functioning as YouTubers. This research underscores the meaningful and authentic socio-cultural and religious perspectives disseminated by these women through digital channels, perspectives largely unacknowledged within the Thai context.

Abstract

Background: The Bhagavad Gita is a sacred text in the Hindu tradition that contains teachings about duty (dharma), devotion (bhakti), wisdom (jnana), and discipline (yoga). This research aims to understand the factors that influence the interest of Pemangku (Hindu priests) in Susut District, Bangli Regency, Bali, in studying the Bhagavad Gita. Methods: Using qualitative research methods, data were obtained through a combination of open and closed questionnaires comprising 34 questions. Finding: The research results show that the majority of Pemangku have undergraduate education (30%) and junior high school education (30%), with 50% of them having never read the Bhagavad Gita. The primary motivations for those who study the Bhagavad Gita are self-development, spiritual improvement, and facing life challenges. Despite high interest, the Pemangku face obstacles such as limited access to learning resources (50%) and difficulty understanding the contents of the text without guidance. The discussion reveals the importance of a structured learning approach involving mentors or teachers and strengthening social support in the learning process. Additionally, adaptive and accessible learning methods need to be developed to bridge the gap between ancient texts and modern life contexts. Conclusion This research concludes that the interest of Pemangku in the Bhagavad Gita is influenced by educational background, personal motivation, learning methods, and access to learning resources. Recommendations are provided to improve the accessibility and quality of learning this sacred text in the future.

Abstract

Introduction: The implementation of Vedic learning through digital platforms represents an innovative approach in Hindu religious education, leveraging technological advancements to enhance learning quality and effectively impart Vedic teachings to younger generations. In an era marked by rapid technological development, the study of Hinduism, particularly Vedic teachings, must be adapted to remain relevant and engaging for adolescents. This study aims to explore Hindu adolescents' perceptions of the effectiveness of Vedic learning through digital platforms and identify the factors influencing their views on this learning method. Methods: A quantitative approach with a survey research design was employed. The sample consisted of 36 Hindu students from seventh grade, selected using proportional random sampling. Data collection was conducted through a Likert-scale questionnaire designed to assess adolescents' perceptions of ease of use, material quality, and interaction in digital learning. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to illustrate adolescents' perceptions of the effectiveness of digital Vedic learning. Findings: The findings indicate that the majority of Hindu adolescents hold a positive perception of digital Vedic learning. Key factors supporting its effectiveness include easy access to materials, flexible study schedules, and enhanced comprehension of Vedic teachings through digital visualization. However, challenges were also identified, particularly the limited direct interaction with instructors, which affects the depth of understanding of more complex Vedic concepts. Some students also expressed that they felt a lack of spiritual experience, which is typically more profound in face-to-face learning settings. Conclusion: In conclusion, digital Vedic learning is considered effective, though several challenges must be addressed, such as enhancing student-teacher interaction and ensuring the continued quality of instructional materials. Novelty/Originality of this article: With the appropriate digital platforms, Vedic education can be well received by Hindu youth and serve as a crucial tool in preserving and promoting Vedic teachings in the digital age.

Abstract

Background: This article attempts to examine the shared perspectives of Sanatan Psycho-spiritual theory and Freud’s psychoanalytic theory apropos of the construction of human personality. The objective of this article is to demonstrate how a theological text, composed approximately 5,000 years ago, articulates key concepts that exhibit remarkable parallels with modern psychological theories, which are grounded in empirical inquiry and theoretical speculation. By examining these intersections, this study aims to contribute to the development of an interdisciplinary framework, bridging ancient philosophical thought with contemporary psychological discourse and opening new avenues for scholarly exploration. Methods: By examining the concept of Tri-Guna alongside Freudian Structural Model of the Psyche, the study aims to foreground how Eastern and Western paradigms participating in a dialogue can offer complementary understandings of human psychology and psycho-spirituality. Findings: Operating from this perspective, this article uncovers the deeper philosophical and psychological underpinnings common to both Freudian and Satan Psycho-spiritual school of thought, focusing on the concepts of Tamas, Rajas, and Sattva, and their Western equivalents – Id, Ego, and Superego. Conclusion: The comparative analysis of the Bhagavad Gita’s concept of Tri-gunas and Freud’s structural model of the psyche reveals a shared perspective that human personality and behavior are fundamentally shaped by underlying biological constructs. This framework highlights the intricate entanglement of Determinism and Free Will within both schools of thought. Novelty/Originality of this article: By disentangling these connections, this paper proposes to offer new insights into how Eastern and Western thought systems converge in their understanding of human nature, mind and psyche and the pursuit of an equanimous-mind. The comparisons in this article shed light on the intricacy and entanglement between Determinism and Free Will, introducing new coordinates for dialogue between the Western model of the psyche and Eastern psycho-spirituality, fostering a discourse that will deepen our perspectives and contribute to the advancement of psychological scholarship.
