Abstract

This study aims to explore the epistemological beliefs and reflective practices of Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative phenomenological approach with a semi-structured interview data collection method. Research participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique with the criteria of ECE teachers. Having at least three years of teaching experience and have taught at the Playgroup and Kindergarten levels, literate in using information technology, teach actively during the pandemic, active in self-development activities, and willing to be a research participant. There are two participants, IT and RA, who graduate from S1 level, Art Education and ECE. They teach in different schools and have teaching experience of thirteen and five years. The analysis was carried out with IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis), which resulted in the theme of the teaching process during a pandemic, teaching obstacles during a pandemic, factors that supported teaching during a pandemic, factors that hindered teaching during a pandemic, and beliefs in education during a pandemic based on their knowledge. The study results are that ECE teachers feel less confident about teaching during the pandemic because online learning is a new thing. They think that they don't have sufficient knowledge about online learning for early childhood education. They don't have the confidence to make sure that the students will understand, especially in the assessment process, which is believed to be a better face-to-face meeting.

Abstract

Meditation is an effective technique for increasing focus and concentration, especially in the context of sports. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of meditation training in improving the concentration abilities of pencak silat athletes. Using an experimental approach, the training was carried out in three sessions divided into two meetings. Training success was measured using a pre-test and post-test design. The research results showed a significant increase in the athletes' ability to focus and concentrate after participating in the training. These findings support previous research results which state that meditation can increase concentration and self-control in athletes, so that they are able to execute strategies and techniques more effectively in competitions.

Abstract

Collective action has long been driven by social psychological mechanisms, particularly collective identity and group efficacy. This narrative review examines the interplay of identity, emotion, and structural conditions in predicting participation in collective mobilization. Drawing on empirical findings from multiple cross-national studies, the review integrates qualitative and quantitative insights to understand how emotional catalysts and digital narratives reinforce collective identification. The methodology involved a systematic review of studies indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using key terms such as "collective action," "social identity," and "group efficacy." Inclusion criteria prioritized peer-reviewed journal articles that employed mixed-method approaches to examine protest dynamics, psychological predictors, and digital activism. The findings confirm that strong social identity, group efficacy, and collective emotion (especially anger and hope) serve as principal motivators for collective participation. However, participation is also mediated by internal constraints such as identity misalignment, and external structural barriers such as authoritarianism, resource scarcity, and cultural repression. Digital media has emerged as a crucial enabler, reinforcing group solidarity and mobilization narratives. These insights underline the importance of inclusive, context-sensitive policies and interdisciplinary strategies in overcoming systemic impediments to mobilization. Future studies should address variations across cultural and geopolitical contexts and explore how technological innovation can facilitate equitable collective engagement. Understanding the synergy between psychological and structural determinants is essential for advancing sustainable collective action.

Abstract

Urban social isolation has emerged as a pressing global public health concern, driven by the interplay of social, psychological, and environmental determinants. This narrative review aims to synthesize contemporary evidence on the causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies for social isolation in urban settings. The literature was collected from PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using a combination of keywords related to social isolation, urban design, and community psychology. Inclusion criteria emphasized peer-reviewed empirical studies focused on urban populations, with a preference for mixed-method and interdisciplinary approaches. Findings reveal that fragmented community networks, psychological distress, and inadequate access to safe and inclusive public spaces consistently exacerbate urban isolation. Vulnerable populations—particularly the elderly, migrants, and LGBTQIA+ individuals—are disproportionately affected, often facing systemic barriers such as economic inequality, housing insecurity, and social exclusion. The review underscores the role of participatory community interventions, equitable urban planning, and policy integration in addressing the root causes of isolation. Global best practices demonstrate that inclusive urban infrastructure, cross-sector collaboration, and technology-enabled outreach can significantly enhance social connectivity. This review concludes that urban social isolation must be tackled through systemic reforms, locally tailored interventions, and inclusive public policies. Recommendations for future research include longitudinal studies and mixed-method evaluations that account for intersectional identities and structural inequities. The synthesis offers a holistic framework to guide policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in developing sustainable urban communities that prioritize social cohesion and mental well-being.

Abstract

Community-based suicide prevention programs are gaining recognition for their holistic, participatory, and context-sensitive approaches to reducing suicide rates. This narrative review aims to synthesize recent empirical findings on the effectiveness of such interventions, especially in integrating local engagement, educational and religious institutions, sociocultural strategies, and comparative international practices. Utilizing a structured literature search across Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar, relevant peer-reviewed articles were selected and analyzed thematically. The results demonstrate that community-driven programs effectively reduce suicide risks by enhancing early detection, emotional support, and crisis response capacities. Engagement of schools and religious leaders fosters mental health literacy, while cultural adaptation improves acceptance and inclusivity. International comparisons reveal that while developed countries benefit from advanced infrastructure and formal systems, developing nations often succeed through community innovation and resilience. Nevertheless, systemic challenges—such as policy gaps, mental health service disparities, and social stigma—persist across contexts. These findings reaffirm the need for a multisectoral, collaborative framework that integrates policy support, community empowerment, and sustainable funding. Strategic use of digital tools and long-term program evaluation is essential. This review contributes to the growing body of knowledge advocating for community-centric, culturally responsive, and structurally supported suicide prevention models.
