Abstract

Economic literacy among high school students remains critically low, as evidenced by test scores falling far below national and regional expectations in South Kalimantan. This issue stems from abstract, non-contextual learning models and globalization, which gradually erodes traditional local economic wisdom. This study aims to develop and describe the design of the Banjar Economic Platform (BEP), an integrated digital platform that documents the Banjar economic lexicon and serves as a culturally responsive economics learning resource. Adopting a Research and Development (R&D) methodology guided by the ADDIE model, this study involved 35 purposively selected participants, including native Banjar speakers (N=3), media and subject matter experts (N=4), and high school economics teachers (N=28). Data were collected via semi-structured interviews and structured questionnaires, then analyzed using a sequential mixed-methods approach. The needs analysis revealed that incorporating the Banjar economic lexicon (e.g., bajajak, basawah, maadati, baulah, basambat, and maulah) is highly relevant for making abstract economic concepts meaningful. Expert media validation yielded an overall Aiken’s V coefficient of 0.89, falling into the "Very High" validity category. Furthermore, functional evaluation through black-box testing demonstrated a 100% success rate across all critical system features and operational workflows. The BEP offers a practical, culturally responsive framework that bridges modern economic theory with traditional practices. It serves as a novel educational model that operationalizes ethnolinguistic preservation to foster sustainable economic literacy and safeguard cultural identity in the digital era.

Abstract

This study is a preliminary investigation aimed at mapping the profiles and dynamics of students’ digital competencies based on the five domains of the Digital Competence Framework (DigComp): Information & Data Literacy, Communication & Collaboration, Digital Content Creation, Security & Safety, and Educational Problem Solving. This study employs a quantitative descriptive approach using an observational method involving 195 high school students selected through purposive sampling via the Google Forms platform, as well as 66 university students from 12 public and private universities. The research instrument consists of a Likert-scale-based observation sheet validated using the Rasch Model (Rating Scale Model) with the assistance of Winsteps software. Overall, students’ digital competencies fall into the “fairly good” category. The Security & Safety and Communication & Collaboration dimensions showed the highest levels of achievement, while Digital Content Creation ranked the lowest. The pattern of digital competency development shows an upward trend in higher grade levels, although not in a linear fashion. These findings indicate that students are still predominantly technology users and have not yet reached their full potential as digital creators. Therefore, there is a need to strengthen project-based learning and pedagogical innovations closely linked to digital skills to develop digital competencies more comprehensively and sustainably as part of efforts to support the 21st-century Global SDGs program.

Abstract

The Umbul Dance is a traditional performing art form that emerged from the helaran tradition of the agrarian community in Situraja, Sumedang Regency, West Java. This dance has spiritual, aesthetic, and pedagogical dimensions, and has become a cultural symbol of the Sundanese people, passed down orally across generations. This study aims to examine the origins, transformation of form and function, and the role of the Umbul Dance in local cultural education. Using the primary theoretical foundation of Louis Gottschalk, who emphasizes reconstructing the significance of the past through a process of critical selection, verification, and interpretation of sources, using a cultural history approach, oral history according to Paul Thompson and Alessandro Portelli, and ethnopedagogy based on Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, this study employed in-depth interviews, participant observation, and visual documentation. The findings indicate that the Umbul Dance has undergone significant revitalization since 1976 through the active participation of community leaders and the arts community, successfully transforming it from a local ritual into a representative art form in education. Its existence is integrated into the Independent Curriculum as part of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) to instill local character values. This research confirms that the Umbul Dance is not merely a cultural heritage, but also a contextual educational strategy instrument based on local wisdom that can respond to the challenges of the times.

Abstract

Despite the extensive proliferation of the School Literacy Movement, current operational paradigms remain predominantly student-oriented, thereby failing to substantively position teachers as primary agents of literacy production, particularly within the purview of vocational education. This study aims to describe the implementation, the supporting and inhibiting factors, and the impact of the SAKA Guru Program (One Teacher One Literary Work) in holistically building teacher literacy culture at SMK Negeri 1 Ponorogo. Adopting a qualitative approach with a case study design, empirical data were harvested via semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis utilizing six key informants. The data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis through six stages: data familiarization, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining themes, and producing the research report; their validity was strengthened through source triangulation, method triangulation, and member checking. The empirical findings delineate three primary insights. First, the program's implementation produced a work-production-based teacher literacy model that positions teachers as the principal actors in the transformation of vocational literacy culture. Second, the program's success and sustainability were determined by the balance between systemic supporting factors (leadership support, facilities, training, a sharing culture, and appreciation) and inhibiting factors rooted in individuals and time constraints. Third, the program's impact emerged through a cycle of participation, work production, strengthening of professional identity, and replication of literacy culture, thereby encouraging the creation of literary works, reinforcing reading and writing habits, and cultivating a literacy culture among teachers. This study advances the theoretical paradigms of literacy as a social practice and the School Literacy Movement by translating these concepts into the realm of vocational teachers, while concurrently offering a holistic, teacher-centered literacy implementation model with teachers as producers of works that can be effectively replicated within analogous vocational contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the collaboration of the three-center education system consisting of family, school, and community in the implementation of a home-based Qur’anic reading control program and its contribution to improving students’ Qur’anic literacy. The study addresses three main issues, namely how collaboration is structured and implemented, how the program improves students’ reading ability, and what factors support and hinder its implementation. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving teachers, students, parents, and community members. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that collaboration is systematically organized through clear role distribution, continuous communication, and the use of a reading control book as a monitoring tool. The program significantly improves students’ Qur’anic literacy in terms of reading fluency, pronunciation accuracy, application of tajwid, and consistency in reading habits. In addition, the program fosters discipline and intrinsic motivation among students. The main supporting factors include teacher commitment, parental involvement, and community support through Qur’anic learning activities, while the main inhibiting factors are limited parental time and variations in Qur’anic literacy among parents. The study concludes that structured collaboration supported by a monitoring mechanism is an effective strategy for sustaining Qur’anic literacy development. The implication of this study highlights the importance of integrating home, school, and community roles through continuous supervision to enhance religious literacy in primary education.

Abstract

Waste management has become an increasingly significant global challenge, requiring sustainable approaches such as waste-to-energy (WtE), which can reduce waste volume while generating alternative energy. However, existing waste management studies are still dominated by technical perspectives and have not sufficiently integrated educational dimensions within school environments. This study aims to analyze the development of literature related to school-based waste management using a waste-to-energy approach and to develop an integrated waste management model for Adiwiyata schools. The study employed a systematic literature review (SLR) based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines combined with bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. Data were collected from Scopus publications from 2006–2025, resulting in 133 articles selected for analysis. The findings indicate a significant increase in publications since 2016, accompanied by a paradigm shift from waste disposal toward resource recovery and circular economy approaches. This study proposes a quadruple system model consisting of institutional, operational, financial, and evaluative dimensions integrated with an educational dimension as a hidden curriculum. The proposed model is expected to support sustainable waste management and strengthen environmental education implementation in Adiwiyata schools.

Abstract

The crucial role of shadow teachers is often fraught with significant challenges. High workloads, constant demands to adapt to the diverse needs of children with special needs, lack of adequate training, and limited institutional support can trigger burnout. Therefore, concrete strategies are needed to address this issue. The aim of this study is to describe strategies for overcoming burnout in substitute teachers in inclusive elementary schools in Indonesia. Participants in this study were shadow teachers with a minimum of 3 years of work experience, considering that they would provide insight into dealing with children with special needs in inclusive classes during the daily teaching process. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological research type. Broadly speaking, there are three main techniques in data collection: interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study show various strategies used by teachers in handling student tantrums, namely Seeking Social Support, Acceptance and Positive Values ​​(Emotionally Focused Coping), Managing Break Time and Self-Calming, Self-Development and Introspection, and Conducting Diversion Activities (Escape Avoidance). The findings suggest that mentor teachers do not rely on a single strategy but instead build a coping ecosystem that connects the professional realm (team discussions, self-evaluation) with the domestic/personal realm (family, diversional activities). The implications of this research suggest that inclusive teacher resilience is formed when the boundaries between work support and family support converge positively.

Abstract

In the digital era, the development of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) has become one of the major challenges in education, particularly in biology, which requires students to understand complex concepts. This study aimed to analyze students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) through web-based learning integrated with multiple representations in biology education in Bandung, Indonesia. This study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving Grade 10 and Grade 11 science-track students selected through purposive sampling from five senior high schools in Bandung, Indonesia. The research instrument consisted of a test comprising both multiple-choice and essay questions. The findings revealed that cognitive ability was the most prominent HOTS dimension, followed by logical analysis, problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative thinking skills. These results indicate that web-based learning integrated with multiple representations can facilitate students’ understanding of biological concepts more effectively. The presentation of various visual representations, including images, three-dimensional animations, videos, tables, diagrams, and graphs, along with case-study features, helped transform abstract content into more concrete and structured forms, thereby strengthening higher-order thinking skills. The findings further suggest that multiple representations enable students to understand biological phenomena from multiple perspectives, critically evaluate information, and apply conceptual knowledge to solve complex problems.

Abstract

Education for sustainability requires learners who are both conscious of sustainability and able to generate creative responses to complex socio-ecological problems, yet how these two capacities relate remain unclear and scattered across disconnected studies. This systematic review synthesized empirical research on the relationship between sustainability consciousness and student creativity in formal secondary-to-tertiary education. Following PRISMA 2020, Scopus and Web of Science were searched (2015–2026); records were screened in two stages, appraised with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and combined through thematic synthesis. Eleven studies met the criteria. Across diverse subjects and countries, the two constructs were consistently and positively associated, although the reported direction varied sustainability consciousness predicting creativity, creativity predicting sustainability consciousness, and the two co-developing under shared interventions. However, sustainability was operationalized inconsistently, no study employed the full tripartite sustainability-consciousness construct, and cross-sectional designs precluded causal inference. The review exposes a fragmented evidence base and the absence of an integrative framework. It calls for mechanism-based, longitudinal designs that align comprehensive sustainability-consciousness and creativity measures, and recommends active, integrative pedagogies for cultivating both capacities across diverse subjects, with particular relevance for science education.

Abstract

Students’ achievement goals are shaped by various internal and external factors, including the school climate, which influences academic motivation. This study aimed to examine the relationship between school climate and achievement goals among senior high school students. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 126 tenth-grade students selected through random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring school climate and achievement goals. Prior to hypothesis testing, assumption tests were conducted. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test indicated that the data were normally distributed (p = 0.200), and the linearity test confirmed a linear relationship between the variables (p < 0.05). Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between school climate and achievement goals (r = 0.494, p < 0.001), indicating a moderate correlation. The coefficient of determination showed that school climate accounted for 24.4% of the variance in students’ achievement goals. These findings suggest that a supportive and positive school climate is moderately associated with stronger achievement goal orientation among students. The study underscores the importance of fostering a conducive school environment to support the development of students’ academic goals.
