Abstract

This study addresses the destabilization of moral frameworks among youth in contemporary Islamic societies, a phenomenon accelerated by rapid digitization. We investigate how the structural and stylistic mechanisms of traditional oral poetry can serve as pedagogical instruments to build ethical resilience among Gen Z and millennial cohorts in modern Aceh. Methodologically, the inquiry adopts a qualitative descriptive design grounded in pedagogical stylistics to conduct a close textual analysis of twenty purposively sampled advice quatrains from the Bunga Rampai Maluku Kie Raha anthology. Our analytical framework evaluates these texts across specific operational metrics: phonology, syntax, and conceptual metaphor. The empirical results reveal that the rigid structural blueprint of the quatrain, particularly the architectural division between the foreshadowing lines (sampiran) and the semantic core (isi), functions as an efficient cognitive delivery system that optimizes mnemonic retention. Additionally, the deliberate deployment of high-impact lexical markers combined with abrupt interrogative rhetorical shifts elevates generic ethical advice into absolute behavioral boundaries. These boundaries directly reinforce Acehnese socio-legal norms. Consequently, curriculum designers and language educators in Aceh can leverage trans-regional oral literatures to diversify character education frameworks, offering a vital alternative as localized oral traditions fade from daily usage. Ultimately, this research demonstrates that UNESCO-recognized traditional poetic structures operate not merely as historical artifacts, but as dynamic socio-pedagogical interventions capable of maintaining ethical stability during acute cultural transitions.

Abstract

The turn of the twentieth century in the Dutch East Indies was characterized by a rigid colonial diglossia and deeply entrenched indigenous patriarchal structures that severely gatekept formal education from women. While traditional scholarship evaluates early feminist movements through isolated socio-historical or biographical lenses, this study addresses a distinct research gap by exploring the trans-regional sociolinguistic dimensions of female resistance. The primary objective is to investigate how language variation, stratified honorifics, and institutional registers are deployed as instruments of defiance in E. Rokajat Asura’s biographical novel Raden Dewi Sartika, drawing conceptual parallelisms with historical Acehnese female discourse. Utilizing a qualitative literary-sociolinguistic framework grounded in Dell Hymes’ ethnography of communication and Mikhail Bakhtin’s heteroglossia, this research evaluates dialogue sequences and narrative prose at a fine granularity. The findings reveal that characters strategically manipulate formal, elite registers and indigenous honorific systems to maintain surface-level compliance while successfully executing subversive institutional demands. This micro-linguistic negotiation directly parallels the historical socio-political discourse of aristocratic female figures in Aceh who appropriated customary speech to command authority. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that early Indonesian female agency relied on the tactical mastery of existing linguistic hierarchies to subvert oppression. These insights offer a novel trans-regional model that enriches the academic understanding of language, gender, and institutional autonomy across the shared socio-cultural landscape of Aceh and the wider Indonesian archipelago.

Abstract

The emergence of Angkatan 45 (the Generation of 1945) marks a critical milestone in the evolutionary trajectory of modern Indonesian literature, characterized by a radical departure from colonial and classical aesthetic constraints. While mainstream literary histories frequently examine this linguistic revolution through a centralized, macro-national lens, few studies investigate how regional identities, specifically the sociopolitical and cultural landscape of Aceh, intersected with this structural transformation. This study investigates the distinct poetic characteristics, philosophical conceptions, and structural dynamics of Angkatan 45 poetry by contextualizing its development within the historical consciousness and resilient cultural framework of Acehnese society during the revolutionary period. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design integrated with a critical historiographical review and micro-level structural textual analysis, this research analyzes the dual ideological pillars of Expressionism and Realism across selected poetic texts and the cultural manifesto of the Surat Kepercayaan Gelanggang. The findings reveal that the aesthetic deconstruction enacted by Angkatan 45, characterized by raw syntactic economy and colloquial diction, was deeply informed by peripheral struggles, where regional cultural symbols and islamic humanism served as vitalist markers of anti-colonial defiance. Ultimately, this paper highlights the pedagogical and socio-cultural value of preserving this decentralized literary genealogy, demonstrating how a period of intense high-stakes crisis successfully revolutionized the linguistic, semantic, and inclusive fabric of modern Indonesian discourse while preserving local cultural sovereignty.

Abstract

Passing accuracy underpins effective tactical execution in youth football, yet young players frequently struggle with spatial consistency during competitive match play. This study evaluated how a Tiki-Taka game-based training regimen affects passing accuracy in Under-13 (U13) players at SSB PSAN Neusu Banda Aceh. Utilizing a quantitative pretest–post-test control group design, we allocated 30 U13 athletes into either an experimental group (n = 15) that underwent Tiki-Taka training or a control group (n = 15) that followed a conventional training curriculum. We assessed passing proficiency via the Soccer Passing Accuracy Test before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis comprised descriptive metrics, Shapiro-Wilk normality verifications, Levene’s homogeneity checks, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Tests, and Independent Samples t-tests. The experimental cohort demonstrated significant post-intervention gains, with mean passing accuracy scores climbing from 4.73 to 6.20 (p = .001). Conversely, the control group showed no meaningful improvement (p = .180). Post-test comparisons revealed a stark performance divergence between the two cohorts (p = .001), establishing that Tiki-Taka game-based intervention outperforms standard drills. Integrating high-density, short-passing games into youth academies enhances immediate technical execution. It also nurtures spatial awareness and rapid collaborative processing, offering coaches a structured framework to optimize tactical development.

Abstract

The Aceh referendum discourse in 1999 emerged as a significant political movement that reflected the collective aspirations of the Acehnese people amid prolonged conflict and strained relations between Aceh and the Indonesian central government. The discourse gained momentum following widespread dissatisfaction with political marginalization, economic inequality, and allegations of human rights violations during the Military Operations Area (DOM) period. This study aims to analyze the historical development of the Aceh referendum discourse and identify the factors that contributed to its failure. This research employs a qualitative approach by integrating historical methods with oral history. Data was collected through interviews with individuals involved in the referendum movement and were supported by literature reviews, archival materials, and official documents. These sources were critically analyzed to reconstruct historical events and interpret the dynamics surrounding the referendum movement. The findings indicate that the referendum discourse was rooted in long-standing historical grievances and evolved into a broad social movement supported by students, civil society organizations, and sections of the Acehnese community. Despite gaining significant public support, the movement failed to achieve its objectives due to limited political preparedness, the absence of a clear constitutional and legal framework, concerns regarding national disintegration, and strong resistance from the central government. The study contributes to the fields of political history, democracy, and conflict resolution by providing a deeper understanding of how local political aspirations interact with state interests. It also offers insights into the challenges faced by self-determination movements within a unitary state system.

Abstract

The integration of local wisdom into formal education has become increasingly important in addressing challenges related to cultural preservation, character development, and environmental sustainability. In Aceh, Panglima Laot is a traditional maritime institution that embodies values of leadership, cooperation, responsibility, deliberation, social justice, and environmental stewardship. However, despite its important role in Acehnese society, the educational potential of Panglima Laot has not been systematically integrated into elementary school co-curricular programs. This study aims to explore how Panglima Laot values can be integrated into elementary school co-curricular programs and to examine their contribution to strengthening students’ character and environmental awareness. A qualitative case study approach was employed in several coastal elementary schools in Banda Aceh. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with Panglima Laot leaders, school principals, teachers, students, and parents, complemented by observations, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Nurmala, V., et al., (2025). The findings reveal that Panglima Laot values can be effectively integrated into co-curricular activities through beach clean-up campaigns, mangrove planting projects, maritime cultural literacy programs, environmental conservation initiatives, and community-based learning activities. The implementation of these activities contributed to the development of students’ responsibility, cooperation, environmental awareness, and appreciation of local cultural heritage. The study also found that collaboration between schools and community stakeholders strengthened the effectiveness of local wisdom-based learning. The study implies that integrating Panglima Laot values into co-curricular programs provides an innovative model for local wisdom-based education that supports character education, environmental sustainability, and the preservation of Acehnese maritime culture. The findings offer practical insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to incorporate indigenous knowledge and local wisdom into elementary school education.

Abstract

Following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the scale of international aid that flowed into Aceh exposed a structural problem instead of solving one. Assistance concentrated in areas that were physically accessible, while many rural communities remained underserved, producing new inequalities rather than an even recovery. This gap opened space for local civil society organizations to take on roles that neither the state nor international agencies had filled. This study examines how Forum Bangun Aceh (FBA), a Banda Aceh based local NGO, strategized community empowerment through its Economic Empowerment program between 2005 and 2019. Using a qualitative case study approach built on systematic document analysis, the study applies Friedmann's (1992) three-dimensional empowerment framework, enabling, empowering, and protecting, to trace how FBA's programs evolved over fifteen years. The findings show that FBA's strategy coherently spans all three dimensions: enabling through post-disaster recovery and disaster risk reduction education, empowering through micro credit, cooperative formation, and skills training rooted in local economic practices, and protecting through multi-stakeholder engagement and advocacy for persons with psychosocial disabilities. These findings carry two implications. Theoretically, they support the argument that empowerment interventions anchored in local value systems tend to outlast those designed externally. Practically, they offer local NGOs and policymakers a working model for sequencing recovery, capacity building, and advocacy without relying on the scale of international actors.

Abstract

The vast Indonesian archipelago, local oral traditions serve as crucial cognitive frameworks for preserving ancestral ecological wisdom and managing socio-environmental risks. On the isolated island of Simeulue, the Nandong oral performance represents a vital cultural institution, yet its specialized maritime sub-genre, the Syair Perahu (Boat Poem), has remained largely unexamined at a fine level of linguistic granularity. This study aims to deconstruct the semiotic mechanisms of the Syair Perahu to understand how physical maritime elements and natural phenomena are assigned practical, survival-based cultural meanings. Using a descriptive qualitative ethnographic design, this research systematically analyzes the transcribed oral verses of the poem through the application of Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic semiotic model (Representamen, Object, and Interpretant). Primary data were gathered through participant observation and in-depth interviews with three respected seniman tutur (oral artists) in Simeulue. The findings demonstrate that the Syair Perahu operates as an active, secular cognitive map and safety manual. Specific linguistic signs, such as local timber (kayu kapo-kapo) and hydrodynamic forms (ransung salodang), are indexically linked to structural durability and strict passenger capacity limits. Similarly, environmental hazards like the angin sumadin and lauik api function as indexical warnings that trigger social safety rules and spiritual invocation, while the capturing of samen-samen fish symbolizes economic self-sufficiency. Ultimately, this study implies that endangered oral literatures are sophisticated educational systems of maritime resilience, highlighting the urgent need for regional heritage bodies to integrate ancestral ecological wisdom into modern coastal safety policies.

Abstract

Advancements in information technology have prompted local governments to enhance digital-based public services through the implementation of the Smart Cityconcept. One initiative undertaken by the Banda Aceh City Government is the provision of free WiFi facilities in several public parks to ensure equitable internet access and improve public digital literacy. However, implementation faces various challenges, such as limited free WiFi network capacity, equipment malfunctions, low public digital literacy, and a lack of public concern regarding the preservation of public facilities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the free WiFi provision policy in Banda Aceh’s public parks in support of Smart City development. A qualitative research method with a descriptive approach was employed. Data were gathered through interviews, observation, and documentation involving informants from the Banda Aceh City Communication, Informatics, and Statistics Agency (Diskominfotik), technical staff, park security personnel, and members of the public including students who use the free WiFi. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the policy implementation has proceeded reasonably well based on the dimensions of "Content of Policy" and "Context of Implementation" as defined by Merilee S. Grindle. The program has yielded benefits by increasing internet access and supporting educational activities, public services, and the community's digital economic activities. Nevertheless, implementation still faces obstacles such as limited network infrastructure, technical disruptions, and suboptimal digital literacy and public participation in maintaining the free WiFi facilities. Therefore, improvements in network capacity, infrastructure maintenance, service coverage expansion, and strengthened digital literacy education are required to ensure the success of Smart Citydevelopment in Banda Aceh.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in Gayo Arabica coffee production in Aceh, Indonesia, occupy a globally recognized niche protected by Geographical Indication (GI) status, yet many remain marginalized within the global value chain due to uneven digital adoption, limited digital literacy, and fragmented institutional support. This study aims to critically examine the practice of digital transformation among Gayo coffee MSMEs, with particular attention to digital branding, institutional and public-administration support, and the strategic opportunities and barriers shaping their global competitiveness. A library research design was employed, synthesizing peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and institutional reports published between 2020 and 2026 and indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar, and SINTA. Thematic and comparative synthesis techniques were applied to extract, categorize, and cross verify findings across sources. The synthesis reveals that digital branding and financial technology adoption substantially strengthen customer engagement and financial performance among Gayo coffee MSMEs; however, these gains remain constrained by low digital literacy, weak cross-stakeholder collaboration, and inconsistent policy implementation at the sub-national level. Collaborative governance arrangements involving government agencies, cooperatives, and digital platforms emerge as a decisive enabler of sustained digital transformation. The findings offer a transferable model for other Geographical Indication based agricultural commodities seeking to convert cultural and ecological distinctiveness into digitally mediated global competitiveness, while also informing public administration strategies aimed at closing the digital divide among smallholder based MSMEs.
