Abstract

In the modern era, the advancement of information and communication technology has significantly impacted various aspects of human life, including consumption behavior and business practices. The internet, as a core technological tool, has become an inseparable part of daily activities. E-commerce, particularly platforms like Shopee, has gained immense popularity in Indonesia, providing easy and efficient online shopping experiences. This study examines the influence of two key factors, ease of use and consumer trust, on purchase decisions in e-commerce, specifically in the rural community of RW 07, Desa Sirnasari, Tasikmalaya. Using a quantitative approach, the research employs associative causal methods and data collection through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and literature studies. The findings reveal that both ease of use and consumer trust significantly affect purchase decisions, with trust having a more substantial impact. The study's results highlight that improving user-friendliness and transparency can enhance consumer trust and purchasing behavior. This research contributes to the literature by offering insights into consumer behavior in rural areas and provides practical recommendations for e-commerce platforms to improve services. Future research can explore other influencing factors such as price, social influences, and product quality.

Abstract

Conventionally, the quantitative research approach is believed to be used in natural science to experiment with phenomena and test theories and hypothesis. However, it has been practiced by researchers in social science and education at present. The study aims to critically analyze the philosophical stances of quantitative research and to explore the uses and limitations of quantitative research methods in education. I used document analysis as a research method where I collected previously published books, journal articles, and book chapters in the related field, read them, explored the required information from the materials, analyzed them critically, and made the arguments in different themes. The study revealed that quantitative research is based on the positivist paradigm which believes in objectivity, and experimental reality. It further showed that quantitative research is significant in the field of education to test the methods, and teaching-learning theories, to see the cause-and-effect relationship, and to see the causal relationship between the variables. Moreover, it shows that quantitative research is significant to explore the results that can be generalized in a large population. Additionally, the study explored that quantitative research has several issues such as negligence on educational complexities, sampling bias, issues of validity, and generalizability, and ethical issues related to consent, confidentiality, anonymity, sampling, data collection, interpretation, and reporting. It suggests that researchers in education should incorporate the qualitative method and mixed-method research to address diversity, emotion, experience, and multiple realities.

Abstract

The study explored teachers’ resilience in challenging environments in Morogoro Municipality using a mixed-methods approach. It combined quantitative data from a resilience scale with qualitative insights from interviews with nine teachers. Findings indicated that many teachers reported low resilience, correlating with issues like high turnover and job dissatisfaction. Teachers expressed a lack of confidence and competence, influenced by socio-economic factors and difficult work conditions. Thematic analysis revealed varied individual experiences of resilience, highlighting the need for supportive school cultures and targeted strategies to enhance teachers' coping abilities. The study advocates for tailored professional development programs addressing teachers’ specific needs, particularly those with low resilience. Recommendations include fostering positive school environments, promoting social support, and improving time management and coping strategies. By focusing on these areas, educational institutions can build a more resilient teaching workforce, benefiting both educators and students. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on teacher resilience, suggesting that systematic support can improve educational outcomes and retention in Morogoro Municipality and beyond.

Abstract

Research shows that English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) significantly impacts higher education globally; however, more studies on its implementation in specific regions, particularly in Asia, are needed. This review examines how EMI is used in Asia by analyzing 30 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024 from the ERIC and Taylor and Francis database. The findings highlight that EMI improves language skills, academic literacy, global competitiveness, and cultural awareness. However, its success depends on several factors, such as adapting teaching strategies, providing institutional support, and using approaches like translanguaging to overcome language barriers and meet diverse student needs. While EMI offers benefits like enhanced language proficiency, confidence, teamwork, and career readiness, it also faces challenges, including limited English proficiency, insufficient teacher training, lack of support, cultural concerns, and increased student pressure. To address these challenges and improve EMI outcomes, educators are encouraged to use interactive teaching methods, refine assessment practices, and foster cross-cultural understanding. Institutions should also focus on strengthening teacher training, improving language support, and enhancing course quality, while students are urged to build confidence and critical thinking skills. In conclusion, while EMI is a valuable tool for advancing education in Asia, its success depends on careful planning, strong support systems, and flexible teaching strategies.

Abstract

Despite the increasing focus on Bilingual Education (BE) in Asia, driven by globalization and the importance of teaching English, comprehensive analysis comparing teaching methods across countries and their impact on academic performance and language development remains limited. This study reviews BE program implementation, evaluates its effects on students’ academic performance and language skills, and offers suggestions for improving BE practices in Asia. Articles published between 2020 and 2024 were reviewed, focusing on methods utilizing English alongside another language. The study found that BE in Asia uses dual language programs, English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), and translanguaging techniques to support language and cultural growth. BE in Asia has great potential to improve student’s language skills and cultural understanding. However, its success relies on addressing quality teacher training, support for native languages, and the use of real-world learning experiences. Future research should expand its focus by exploring different databases, studying underused BE methods, examining cultural views on bilingualism, and addressing gaps in teacher training and teaching resources to create more inclusive and effective educational strategies.

Abstract

English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) plays a crucial role in connecting non-native English-speaking countries globally, making it a vital subject in higher education. Despite a significant body of research focusing on Asian countries, studies on ASEAN countries remain limited. This study examines the role of English in academic settings across Southeast Asia and its impact on language proficiency among learners and educators. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 29 peer-reviewed journal articles from the Education Resource Information Center (ERIC) databases between 2020 and 2024, the research found that ASEAN countries have implemented policies supporting English as a Lingua Franca, which universities have adopted by using English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) to enhance students' academic and professional success. While the use of English benefits students academically, professionally, and psychologically, challenges such as grammatical errors, communication difficulties, and mental barriers like anxiety and lack of confidence hinder the learning process. Nonetheless, pedagogical approaches suggested by the article authors aim to address these issues. The study concludes that while policies and teaching strategies improve English proficiency, cultural and individual factors influence its consistent use in daily life. Future studies should include ASEAN countries not covered in this research, such as Brunei Darussalam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, and Singapore, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of ELF’s role.

Abstract

The main problem of this research is that community participation in development is still not optimal, with low enthusiasm in planning deliberations and minimal contribution in implementation, this is thought to be caused by ineffective democratic leadership styles, lack of socialization and lack of acceptance of input from the community regarding this problem. Data collection in this research used field research with descriptive-quantitative analysis methods that describe and explain current social phenomena by examining the relationship and influence between Democratic leadership and Community Participation. This research method uses quantitative analysis techniques through simple linear regression analysis, product moment correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination which is intended to determine the magnitude of the influence of an organization's Democratic Leadership on Community Participation. The results of this research are based on hypothesis testing (t-test) which shows that there is an influence of Democratic Leadership on Community Participation of 79.7% and the remaining 20.3% is influenced by other factors. The conclusion in this research is that Democratic Leadership empirically has a significant influence on Community Participation in Jatimulya Village, Kasokandel District, Majalengka Regency.
