Abstract

This study aims to find out the character formation strategy of students of the Department of Office Administration of the Makassar National Vocational School. Character formation in the Vocational High School (SMK) environment is very important, especially in preparing students to not only have technical skills but also strong moral and social values. Characters such as discipline, responsibility, and cooperation are the main foundations in dealing with the world of work and community life in general. In the world of vocational education, character formation often receives less attention than the mastery of technical skills, even though the two should be balanced. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The informants consist of educators, students, and school management. The data was analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana and combined with SWOT analysis to formulate a character-strengthening strategy. The results showed that most students demonstrated good responsibility, discipline, and cooperation, although there were still several challenges such as low intrinsic motivation, the influence of the outside environment, and inconsistencies in the application of character values. The strategies implemented by the school include an exemplary teacher approach, project-based learning, extracurricular activities, and strengthening the role of parents and BK teachers. The recommendations from these results emphasize the importance of implementing holistic learning methods, strengthening a positive school climate, and increasing the capacity of educators in guiding students' character. Character building is not an instant process but requires continuity, for example, and synergy between schools, families, and communities. With the right strategy, vocational school students are expected to be not only technically competent but also ethically and socially superior. This study offers a distinct contribution to the existing literature by highlighting how character-building strategies in vocational schools operate through a combination of classroom learning, extracurricular activities, and teacher modeling.

Abstract

This study analyzes the correlation between classroom management and students’ learning outcomes in the Department of Office Management and Business Services at SMK Negeri 4 Makassar. A quantitative associative approach was employed with 63 respondents selected from a population of 75 students. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The results show that classroom management and learning outcomes are categorized as satisfactory and high, respectively. The correlation coefficient (r = 0.278) indicates a positive but low correlation, with a determination value (R² = 0.077) meaning that classroom management explains only 7.7% of the variation in learning outcomes. Although the effect size is relatively small, the relationship is statistically significant (p < 0.05), suggesting that well-organized classroom environments contribute to better academic achievement. This study highlights that other factors beyond classroom management also influence learning outcomes. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on classroom management within vocational education, which differs from regular schools due to its applied learning orientation and discipline-based environment. The findings contribute to understanding how classroom organization supports effective learning in vocational settings.

Abstract

The question-and-answer learning method is a strategy in the world of education that aims to increase interaction between teachers and students and encourage a deeper understanding of the learning material. The implementation of this method in a vocational school environment is an important aspect in assessing the effectiveness of learning, especially in the subject of Archives. This study focuses on the effectiveness of the application of the question and answer learning method at SMKN 5 Pangkep and identifies supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the application of the question and answer learning method in the subject of Archives at SMKN 5 Pangkep is quite effective. Several indicators that influence this effectiveness are: (1) interesting and challenging material, which is able to increase student involvement in the learning process; (2) varied questions, designed with various levels of difficulty to encourage students' critical and analytical thinking; (3) clear conclusions, which help students understand and connect the concepts that have been learned with practices in the world of work; and (4) good questioning techniques, using simple and easy-to-understand language so that students can respond more actively. However, this study also found challenges in implementing this method, such as a lack of confidence among some students in answering questions and the dominance of certain students in discussions. Some students tended to be passive due to fear of giving wrong answers or feeling less confident in actively participating in class discussions. This situation indicates that although the question-and-answer learning method has the potential to be successful in increasing learning effectiveness, additional strategies are needed to encourage equal engagement of all students. Therefore, a more inclusive approach and other supporting methods are needed to ensure that all students can be more actively involved in the learning process

Abstract

Employee commitment is a critical determinant of public sector performance, particularly in environments undergoing digital transformation. As governments increasingly adopt Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve service delivery, administrative efficiency, and governance outcomes, employee attitudes toward technology become central to successful implementation. This paper examines the relationship between ICT adoption and employee commitment in public sector institutions in developing economies. Drawing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), organizational commitment theory, and institutional theory, the paper conceptualizes how digital systems influence employee engagement, affective commitment, and job satisfaction. The study synthesizes existing literature to show that ICT adoption can strengthen employee commitment through improved job efficiency, transparency, and role clarity, while also identifying barriers such as resistance to change, digital literacy gaps, and organizational culture challenges. The paper proposes a conceptual model linking ICT adoption to employee commitment through mediating factors such as perceived usefulness, leadership support, and training. It concludes with policy recommendations for strengthening human-centered digital transformation in public sector organizations.

Abstract

The advancement of information technology has encouraged transformations in educational systems, particularly through the implementation of e-learning as a digital learning medium. The effectiveness of e-learning is influenced not only by technological availability but also by students’ characteristics, including learning styles. This study aims to examine the effect of learning styles and e-learning utilization on the conceptual understanding of eleventh-grade students at SMKN 8 Makassar. A quantitative correlational approach was employed in this study. The population consisted of 31 students, with 29 students selected as samples using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires that had passed validity and reliability testing. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, validity tests, reliability tests, normality tests, linearity tests, multicollinearity tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that all research instruments were valid and reliable. Correlation analysis revealed that learning styles had a positive relationship with conceptual understanding (r = 0.605), while e-learning utilization had a positive relationship with conceptual understanding (r = 0.622). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that learning styles and e-learning utilization simultaneously had a significant effect on conceptual understanding, with an R value of 0.693 and a coefficient of determination of 0.481. These findings indicate that 48.1% of the variation in conceptual understanding can be explained by learning styles and e-learning utilization, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors outside the research model. The study highlights the importance of aligning instructional strategies with students’ learning characteristics and optimizing e-learning implementation to improve conceptual understanding.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the pattern of parent–child dyadic interpersonal communication in motivating children's learning in RT 05, Pantai Amal Baru Village. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation involving four parents and two children as research informants. The analysis was based on DeVito’s interpersonal communication theory, which includes five dimensions: openness, empathy, supportiveness, positiveness, and equality. The findings revealed that the quality of dyadic interpersonal communication varied among families. The first family demonstrated a higher level of openness, empathy, supportiveness, positive attitudes, and equality compared to the second family. Parents who actively communicated, listened to children's experiences, provided emotional support, and involved children in communication tended to foster stronger learning motivation. Conversely, limited interaction caused by occupational demands and economic factors reduced the intensity of communication and parental involvement in children's education. Nevertheless, children generally showed openness and willingness to communicate with their parents regarding their learning experiences. The study concludes that effective dyadic interpersonal communication characterized by openness, empathy, supportiveness, positive attitudes, and equality plays an important role in enhancing children's learning motivation. Therefore, strengthening the quality of communication between parents and children is essential to create a supportive family environment for children's educational development.

Abstract

Academic libraries play a strategic role in supporting learning processes through the provision of learning resources, academic facilities, and information services that meet students’ needs. Technological advancements and changes in student learning patterns require libraries to continuously improve their facilities to create effective and adaptive learning environments. This study aimed to analyze students’ needs regarding library facilities as a basis for developing facilities that support effective learning at Universitas Negeri Makassar. A quantitative approach with a descriptive research design was employed. The population consisted of all students of Universitas Negeri Makassar, while the sample comprised 100 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to students who were actively utilizing library facilities during the research period. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and mean scores. The findings revealed that all library facility indicators were rated in the high to very high categories. Library Layout obtained the highest mean score (4.28), followed by Book Collections (4.25), Internet Access (4.24), Space Capacity (4.22), and Technological Facilities (4.11). These results indicate that the library facilities generally meet students’ needs and contribute to effective learning. Nevertheless, the development of technological facilities should be prioritized to enhance library services and respond more effectively to the growing demands of digital learning. This study recommends strengthening technological infrastructure, expanding access to electronic information resources, and conducting regular evaluations of user needs as a foundation for sustainable library facility development.
