Abstract

Background of the problem: During the colonial period, the struggle for independence in Indonesia encompassed sacrifices, warfare, and diplomatic efforts. Despite the traditional and localized nature of early 18th-century women's resistance movements, this study scrutinizes the significant influence of individual pioneers on the wider struggle. Purpose: This research aims to elucidate the character values and fighting spirit embodied by Cut Nyak Dien, an iconic pioneer of women's resistance in Indonesia. Historically, regional fighters in the archipelago primarily resisted 18th-century colonialism to defend religion and state sovereignty. Method: Employing a historical research methodology with a library study approach, this study reveals that Cut Nyak Dien's fierce loyalty, indomitable spirit, and steadfast faith profoundly reflect the inherent kindness and courage of her people. Result: Her struggle exemplifies a relentless, unyielding resolve against colonial rule, inspiring subsequent generations of Acehnese and other Indonesian women to continue the resistance. Implication: The findings underscore Cut Nyak Dien's critical role in shaping the trajectory of women's involvement in the Indonesian independence movement, establishing a powerful legacy of resilience and leadership against colonial oppression.

Abstract

Background of the problem: This systematic literature review examines the changing significance of human contact in digital learning environments since the 1990s, highlighting a significant gap in comprehending its precise influence on learning dynamics. Purpose: The study sought to investigate the fundamental motives thoroughly for personal sharing, the specific importance of feedback, the expression and modification of current communication theories, and the observable impacts on both online and organizational learning outcomes. Method: A descriptive, qualitative systematic literature review was conducted, with data meticulously collected from prominent scientific databases such as Scopus and Web of Science and processed through thematic synthesis. Result: Essential studies indicate that incentives for personal communication include the intrinsic human desire for connection, cognitive involvement for collaborative knowledge creation, and emotional expression for support. Feedback is recognized as a crucial component, defined by its promptness, customization, and reciprocal nature. Littlejohn's communication theory exhibits persistent relevance, adjusting to an increased array of digital symbols and dynamic online environments. Personal communicative acts greatly improve student engagement, satisfaction, and academic success in online education, while also promoting knowledge exchange, innovation, and adaptability within corporate learning frameworks. Implication: These findings show that it's important to build online learning spaces that focus on real personal connections and strong feedback, which can improve how effective and engaging education and organizational growth can be.

Abstract

Background of the problem: The incorporation of digital technologies in rural tourism governance is essential for improving transparency, efficiency, and community involvement. Desa Wisata Nusa, situated in Aceh Besar, Indonesia, exemplifies a tourism town with significant potential for digital transformation under the Smart town paradigm. Purpose: This study seeks to evaluate the degree of digitalization in the governance of Nusa Tourism Village by examining stakeholder perspectives across three dimensions: Smart Governance, Smart Society, and Smart Economy. Method: A mixed-method approach was utilized, gathering data from 50 respondents embodying the Penta helix paradigm, which encompasses academics, business, community, government, and media. The research employed Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) to pinpoint areas necessitating enhancement and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to investigate perceptual disparities among stakeholder groups. Result: The findings reveal considerable differences in stakeholder perceptions across all parameters. The preparedness of the workforce for digital tourism has become a crucial issue necessitating urgent focus. Conversely, elements like digital marketing, operational efficacy, and availability of digital educational resources were seen as operating satisfactorily and should be preserved. Implication: The results underscore the significance of focused capacity enhancement and reinforced multi-stakeholder collaboration to facilitate sustainable digital governance in tourism communities. These results enhance the wider discussion on rural digitalization and provide actionable consequences for policy formulation and execution.

Claiming the Republic: A Semiotic Analysis of Ownership and Citizenship in Taufik Ismail’s Poetry Reni Wati Br Sagala Sagala; Rosmawaty Harahap

Abstract

A Discussions of ownership, sovereignty, and citizenship have long occupied a central position in Indonesian literary discourse, particularly in poetry that engages with questions of national identity and political ethics. Taufik Ismail’s poem “We Are the Legal Owners of This Republic” exemplifies this tradition by foregrounding ownership as a collective claim and moral responsibility. However, existing studies tend to treat the poem thematically, paying limited attention to the semiotic processes through which ownership is constructed and to its relevance for regional contexts such as Aceh. This study aims to examine how the meaning of ownership is articulated in the poem and to explore its implications for understanding civic consciousness within the broader framework of Aceh Studies. Employing a qualitative research design, the study uses a semiotic approach grounded in Roland Barthes’ theory of signification. The analysis focuses on key linguistic signs, including collective pronouns, legal terminology, and symbolic expressions, and interprets their denotative and connotative meanings in relation to socio-political discourses. The findings show that ownership in the poem is constructed as a collective and ethical claim rather than a purely legal status, emphasizing responsibility, solidarity, and popular sovereignty. The poem also functions as an implicit critique of political authority by reaffirming the moral legitimacy of the people. These findings contribute to literary studies by demonstrating the value of semiotic analysis for uncovering ideological meanings in poetry and to Aceh Studies by illustrating how national literary texts can illuminate regional concerns related to citizenship, autonomy, and collective identity.

Abstract

A Women’s leadership in social development and education has been widely discussed in Indonesian scholarship, yet many studies continue to privilege national narratives while giving limited attention to regional socio historical contexts such as Aceh. Aceh possesses a distinctive tradition of women’s authority grounded in Islamic values, moral responsibility, and community-oriented education, which has rarely been examined in relation to national female figures. This study addresses this gap by critically reinterpreting the social and educational leadership of Fatmawati Soekarno through an Aceh centered analytical lens. The objective of this study is to examine how Fatmawati’s leadership ethos in education and social welfare resonates with Acehnese traditions of women’s leadership and to assess its relevance for Aceh Studies. Employing a qualitative interpretive research design, the study draws on historical and discursive analysis of primary documents and secondary scholarly literature related to Fatmawati, women’s leadership, education, and Acehnese socio cultural history. The findings reveal that Fatmawati’s leadership was predominantly articulated through moral authority, educational advocacy, and community oriented social care rather than formal political power. These characteristics closely align with established models of women’s leadership in Aceh, where legitimacy is grounded in ethical credibility, service, and educational engagement. An important finding is the strong discursive compatibility between Fatmawati’s national leadership ideals and Acehnese gender traditions, challenging assumptions that national female figures lack regional relevance. The study contributes to Aceh Studies by demonstrating the value of integrating national historiography with regionally grounded analysis. It offers theoretical and practical insights for understanding women’s leadership in education and social development within Aceh and comparable contexts.

Abstract

Traditional literary forms have long served as culturally embedded means of transmitting ethical values and shaping collective character. In Acehnese society, traditional rhymes constitute an important yet underexamined literary practice through which moral orientations are communicated indirectly via aesthetic and linguistic form. While previous studies have highlighted the educational or thematic value of such rhymes, limited attention has been paid to the role of stylistic features in mediating character formation within specific cultural contexts. This study aims to examine how traditional Acehnese rhymes encode and transmit moral values through their stylistic organization, and to identify the implications of these mechanisms for understanding character formation in Aceh. The study adopts a qualitative research design grounded in stylistic analysis. Data consists of selected traditional Acehnese rhymes sourced from culturally authoritative compilations. The analysis focuses on diction, figurative language, imagery, rhyme patterns, and meaning construction, using an interpretive framework informed by contemporary stylistics and applied linguistics. The findings reveal that moral values such as humility, respect for elders, moral consistency, and social responsibility are embedded systematically in linguistic and aesthetic structures rather than conveyed through explicit moral instruction. Figurative language and imagery drawn from every day and ecological experience function as key mediators of ethical understanding, while regular rhyme patterns enhance memorability and communal circulation. These stylistic elements together form an integrated moral ecosystem that supports character formation within Acehnese cultural life. The study contributes to Aceh Studies by demonstrating how traditional literature operates as a living moral resource. It also offers interdisciplinary insights relevant to character education, cultural sustainability, and the role of local knowledge in contemporary society.

Abstract

Background: Aceh Singkil students migrating to Banda Aceh for higher education enter a highly diverse, multi-ethnic urban campus environment. As an ethnic minority, these students face significant social and linguistic pressures to adapt to the dominant cultural norms, risking the loss of their distinct “Kalak Kampong” (village resident) identity and native language. Objective: This study investigates how Aceh Singkil diaspora students negotiate and maintain their Kalak Kampong cultural identity while dealing with these adaptation pressures in Banda Aceh. Methodology: Using a qualitative descriptive approach, primary data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 Aceh Singkil students enrolled in various universities. The transcripts were analyzed utilizing the Miles and Huberman interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification. Key Findings: The findings reveal that students actively employ strategic code-switching and bicultural integration. They utilize the Indonesian language and modify their social behavior for interethnic communication to ensure academic and social integration. Simultaneously, they strictly preserve the Singkil language and core communal values during intra-group interactions to maintain hometown solidarity. Furthermore, students maintained strong cultural pride and benefited from a welcoming campus environment that fostered curiosity rather than prejudice. Implications: The study demonstrates that internal provincial student mobility does not inherently erase minority identities. The practical implications highlight the need for university administrators to design inclusive campus policies and revitalize formal regional student organizations to actively support cultural diversity and bicultural resilience in modern educational hubs.

Abstract

Traditional pottery enterprises continue to face structural challenges that limit their ability to generate economic value, particularly in micro-scale, community-based settings where production relies heavily on manual techniques and tacit knowledge. These constraints often manifest in inefficient process design, uneven time allocation, and inconsistent quality control, all of which restrict value creation and weaken the economic resilience of artisans. Responding to these challenges, this study aims to examine how value is created within a traditional pottery production system and to assess whether targeted, context appropriate interventions can enhance value added without compromising artisanal identity. Using a production-oriented value chain approach, the research employs detailed observation, cost analysis, and semi structured interviews to map production activities and quantify value added across stages. This methodological combination enables a granular assessment of how specific production practices shape economic outcomes. The findings show that baseline value creation is weakly embedded in production activities and heavily dependent on extended labor input. Structural inefficiencies limit reinvestment capacity, particularly in drying and firing. However, targeted process improvements, including enhanced forming tools and controlled firing, significantly increased quality consistency and reduced defect rates. These interventions nearly doubled value added per production cycle while preserving traditional product characteristics. The study contributes to value chain scholarships by demonstrating the importance of production level granularity in informal manufacturing contexts. Practically, the results highlight the potential of modest, culturally aligned process improvements to strengthen productivity, income stability, and long-term sustainability in traditional craft industries.
