Abstract

This study presents a systematic literature review of the POAC (Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling) management model as a strategic approach to planning the annual programs of PAUD (Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini) units. The review examines how each component of the POAC model contributes to enhancing leadership, improving the quality of planning, and facilitating program implementation in early childhood education settings. Through an extensive thematic analysis of peer-reviewed literature published between 2018 and 2024, the study identifies patterns, strengths, and practical challenges associated with the application of the model in PAUD institutions. Findings indicate that POAC-based management enhances administrative coordination, fosters participative leadership, and supports effective monitoring mechanisms. However, gaps persist in empirical evidence linking POAC to measurable child developmental outcomes, particularly in low-resource educational environments. The study recommends future research that integrates POAC with local context-specific strategies and calls for more evidence on its pedagogical impacts. Overall, this review affirms POAC's potential as a valuable framework for improving the governance and quality of early childhood education in Indonesia.

Abstract

The current state of sectoral performance reveals that Nigeria’s productivity framework is inherently weak in delivering the desired socioeconomic outcomes in terms of employment generation. This study examined the impact of foreign direct investment and diaspora remittances on youth unemployment in Nigeria from 1986 to 2022. This study employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) approach to achieve its objectives. The dependent variable of this study is youth unemployment, while the independent variables are foreign direct investment, remittances, inflation, and real gross domestic product. The data for these variables were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the National Bureau of Statistics. The key results indicate that all variables are negatively correlated with youth unemployment, although foreign direct investment and inflation exhibit a significant relationship with youth unemployment at the 0.05 significance level. This study recommended, among other things, the need for the Nigerian government to attract foreign direct investment by improving the ease of doing business and promoting economic growth through infrastructure provision, which will also enhance FDI attraction in Nigeria.

Abstract

Regional integration is a crucial strategy to foster economic growth, competitiveness, and political stability among developing countries. This study examines the impact of regional integration on economic growth in the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD) using a composite integration index that encompasses trade, finance, infrastructure, production, and the movement of persons. Grounded in endogenous growth theory, particularly the Lucas model, the research highlights human capital, trade openness, and knowledge spillovers as key drivers of long-term growth. Employing dynamic panel data methods and the System GMM estimator, the study addresses challenges such as endogeneity and heterogeneity among member countries. Key variables include regional integration indices, human and physical capital, institutional quality, and exchange rates. Robustness tests confirm the validity of the model. Results show a positive and significant effect of regional integration on economic growth, primarily through trade, finance, infrastructure development, and the free movement of people. In contrast, production integration shows no significant impact. Economic growth persistence is also observed, with past growth strongly predicting future growth across CEN-SAD countries. These findings suggest that strengthening regional integration and addressing structural challenges will likely enhance economic performance and development in the region. Policy implications include promoting greater collaboration in infrastructure, financial markets, and labor mobility to maximize the benefits of growth.

Abstract

This study seeks to assess the execution of the Independent Learning-Independent Campus (MBKM) program at Universitas Cahaya Prima (UNCAPI) Bone and to identify the facilitating and obstructive elements affecting its implementation at UNCAPI Bone. The research employs qualitative methods, utilizing data collection approaches such as observation, interviews, and documentation. This study involved seven informants. The findings of this study indicate that the execution of the MBKM program at UNCAPI Bone, assessed through the indicators of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, has been conducted "effectively." From a communication perspective, there is effective interaction between professors and students. From a resource perspective, lecturers as facilitators offer guidance, support, and inspiration to students. The lecturers exhibit a supportive disposition and maintain a favorable outlook on the execution of the MBKM program. Lecturers have elucidated the mechanisms, systems, and procedures of the MBKM program to students from a bureaucratic structural perspective. The facilitating elements for the execution of the MBKM program include the endorsement from universities, the favorable outlook of lecturers, and the proactive engagement of students in the MBKM initiative. Concurrently, the impediments include inadequate value conversion, insufficient socialization, disorganized human resource development, and a continued lack of student enthusiasm in the MBKM program.

Abstract

Discipline is the key to success, so if someone has undisciplined behavior, it will have a negative impact on themselves and others because it can distance them from success. The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of group guidance on students' disciplinary behavior at SMA Negeri 2 Tarakan. This study adopts a quantitative approach through a pre-experimental method, utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design to assess changes before and after the intervention. The data collection technique in this study was a questionnaire. Student discipline is reviewed from 3 aspects, namely: 1) order; 2) ability to control oneself; and 3) ability to concentrate. The population of this study was 451 grade XI students at SMA Negeri 2 Tarakan. The sample in this study consisted of 12 students, selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods, with the assistance of SPSS version 25 software. The results of the study indicate that during the pretest phase, students' discipline levels were categorized as high and very high, with an average score of 156.7. Following the implementation of the posttest, the average score increased to 175.3, remaining within the very high category. Hypothesis testing using a paired sample t-test (parametric) revealed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05. This result leads to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho), indicating that group guidance has a significant effect on student discipline at SMA Negeri 2 Tarakan.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of entrepreneurship education in fostering entrepreneurial interest among students in the Sharia Economics study program, Faculty of Sharia and Islamic Economics, Tomakaka University, Mamuju. It also aims to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in starting a business. This study uses a qualitative research method with data collection through interviews with students who have received entrepreneurship education through entrepreneurship courses. The results show that entrepreneurship education provided through entrepreneurship courses can foster students' entrepreneurial interest. This is indicated by growing self-confidence in students, the ability to think creatively, being more able to face challenges and exploit opportunities, and increasing insight into the business world. Supporting factors in starting a business are interest, motivation, mentality, and talent, as well as external factors such as market opportunities, capital, economic conditions, and family support. Inhibiting factors in starting a business are fear of failure, lack of confidence, lack of capital, lack of mentor guidance, and minimal insight into the world of entrepreneurship.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of self-management techniques on the learning discipline of eighth-grade students at Frater Don Bosco Middle School, Tarakan. Learning discipline remains a significant obstacle in the school environment. Self-management techniques were chosen as an intervention because they can train students to manage their time, behavior, and learning responsibilities independently. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group type. The sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class, which were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instrument used was a learning discipline questionnaire. The results showed a significant increase in student learning discipline after being given self-management treatment, compared to the control class. This finding indicates that self-management techniques have a positive effect on improving student learning discipline. The implication of this study is the importance of implementing self-management strategies in the learning process to support optimal student academic achievement.

Abstract

In recent years, the eating behaviors of Generation Z teenagers have become a growing concern for health educators, parents, and policymakers due to the rising influence of digital media, shifting cultural norms, and school environments. These factors, alongside gender and school type, shape how teenagers make food choices and perceive their health. This study investigated gender and school-type differences in food preferences, dietary habits, perceived health outcomes, and the influence of social, cultural, and digital factors among Generation Z teenagers in selected secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study used a descriptive survey design to cover the perceptions among 150 Gen Z teenagers in selected public and private secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling method ensured balanced representation. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.84), reviewed by experts. Trained assistants administered the instrument during school hours. ANOVA and Tests of Between-Subjects Effects analyzed hypotheses using SPSS version 25 at a 0.05 significance level. The result showed no significant difference in food preferences among Gen Z teenagers based on gender and school type (F = 1.309, p = .274). However, school type significantly influenced how food preferences affected daily dietary habits (F = 4.580, p = .034). There was no significant relationship between dietary choices and perceived health outcomes (F = 0.286, p = .594), nor did social, cultural, and digital influences significantly shape food preferences (F = 0.695, p = .406). Female students in private schools reported higher influence from external factors (Mean = 3.10), while males showed more stable patterns across both school types. The study concludes that while school type plays a role in dietary behavior, gender differences are less pronounced. It recommends targeted nutrition education and health promotion strategies, particularly in public schools, to improve adolescent food practices and well-being.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technology has presented new challenges in treaty law, especially regarding the validity of legal relations that occur without face-to-face meetings. This study uses a normative-empirical method to analyze the application of treaty law in the context of the AI ecosystem. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between the legal terms of agreements based on Article 1320 of the Civil Code and the practice of agreements made through AI-based digital media. The data sources came from a literature study of laws and regulations, jurisprudence, and online treaty practices. Data collection techniques are carried out through literature studies and participatory observation of the implementation of AI in community legal interactions. The data analysis technique uses the law enforcement approach and the concept of recht vacuum to assess whether there is a legal vacuum. The results of the study show that agreements made through AI are still declared valid and binding as long as they meet the legal elements of the agreement according to the Civil Code, except for certain types of agreements that legally require face-to-face meetings such as land buying and selling, notary deeds, and grants, in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions
