Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of internal quality assurance systems in bridging students’ skill gaps in vocational education. A qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, documentation, and surveys, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the internal quality assurance system has been implemented across all stages of the quality cycle, including standard setting, quality mapping, planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. However, the implementation remains largely procedural and has not been fully integrated to produce optimal educational outcomes. Students demonstrate adequate technical skills, yet still face limitations in non-technical skills such as communication, adaptability, and problem-solving. These gaps are attributed to the suboptimal use of data in decision-making, limited involvement of industry stakeholders, and the underdeveloped quality culture within schools. This study concludes that internal quality assurance contributes to improving educational processes but has not been fully effective in bridging students’ skill gaps. Therefore, strengthening the integration of the quality cycle, adopting data-driven approaches, and enhancing collaboration with industry are essential to improve the relevance and quality of educational outcomes.

Abstract

The swift development of digital technologies has transformed marketing practices worldwide, prompting small businesses to increasingly utilize digital platforms to strengthen their market presence, improve customer interaction, and enhance operational efficiency. This study explores the level and characteristics of digital marketing adoption among Stamford University graduates who run small businesses in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Employing a mixed-methods design, data were gathered through a structured questionnaire (n = 30) and in-depth semi-structured interviews (n = 10). The results offer insights into the types of tools employed, perceived advantages, implementation barriers, and the role of academic background in shaping digital marketing practices. The findings indicate that 83% of participants had adopted at least one form of digital marketing, with social media platforms particularly Facebook (90%) and Instagram (65%) being the most used. In contrast, more advanced tools such as SEO (28%), Google Ads (20%), and email marketing (15%) were used far less frequently. Although 76% of respondents reported improvements in customer reach and 69% experienced increased brand visibility, only 41% observed a meaningful rise in direct sales. Several challenges were identified, including limited technical expertise (reported by over 60% of participants), time constraints (45%), and insufficient understanding of return on investment. While respondents acknowledged that their education at Stamford University provided a solid theoretical grounding in business and marketing, 62% admitted that their practical digital marketing skills were largely developed independently. These findings point to a clear gap between academic instruction and practical application, emphasizing the need to incorporate hands-on digital literacy training into business curricula. Overall, this study contributes to the ongoing discussion on SME digital transformation in emerging economies and highlights the critical role of educational and institutional support in fostering effective digital marketing adoption.

Abstract

Science Process Skills (SPS) is an essential foundation in physics learning that requires the identification of students' initial profiles to ensure the development of appropriate teaching materials. However, this identification is often overlooked. Furthermore, the integration of the local environmental context and the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) approach has the potential to be a relevant framework for improving scientific skills and environmental awareness. This study aims to identify students' SPS profiles as an empirical basis for developing an ecotourism-STEM-based physics e-module. The method used is a quantitative descriptive study with a survey technique. The research subjects consisted of 176 10th-grade students from SMAN 2 Mataram City and 38 students from SMAN 10 Mataram City who were selected purposively based on access to local ecotourism potential. The SPS test instrument was developed based on six main indicators, namely observation, classification, interpretation, prediction, experimental planning, and communication. Data were analyzed descriptively to map students' SPS profiles. The identification results show that students' SPS profiles are in the medium to low category with significant variability. The average SPS score at SMAN 2 Mataram City reached 38.52 (medium category) with a range of 3–68, while at SMAN 10 Mataram City the average score was 25.00 (low category) with a range of 3–75. The dimensions of experimental planning and data interpretation were the aspects with the lowest achievements, indicating that physics learning is still verification and procedural. This study concludes that identifying the SPS profile is a crucial stage in developing teaching materials that are adaptive to student needs. These findings form the basis for the development of an ecotourism-STEM integrated physics e-module designed to develop science process skills in a targeted manner while instilling environmental awareness through a contextual local context.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology in education has significantly transformed evaluation practices and teacher professional development. However, many educational institutions still rely on conventional evaluation systems that emphasize administrative reporting rather than providing meaningful feedback for improving instructional quality. This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational evaluation to support reflective teaching and data-driven professional development. A mixed-method sequential explanatory design was employed, involving 120 teachers and school administrators from junior high schools in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Quantitative data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data from interviews and document analysis were examined using thematic analysis. The findings reveal a high level of teacher acceptance of AI-based evaluation systems, with an overall mean score of 4.28 (very positive category). The highest-rated aspect was continuous feedback provision (M = 4.36), followed by comprehensive evaluation data (M = 4.32). Qualitative findings indicate that AI-based evaluation enhances teachers’ understanding of classroom interaction patterns, student engagement, and instructional effectiveness. These findings demonstrate that AI-assisted evaluation systems contribute to more effective monitoring of teaching performance and strengthen evidence-based instructional decision-making. This study provides empirical evidence for the development of AI-integrated evaluation frameworks that support sustainable improvement in teaching quality and teacher professional competence.

Abstract

Science education in elementary schools must adapt to advancements in artificial intelligence and the demands of 21st-century skills, particularly students scientific thinking abilities. Conventional teaching methods have been shown to limit students exploration, active participation, and scientific reasoning; therefore, the integration of more adaptive and interactive approaches through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Game-Based Learning (GBL) strategies is necessary. This study aims to describe the urgency and forms of AI implementation in IPAS instruction to stimulate students scientific thinking skills at SDN 19 Kota Bima. The study employed a qualitative approach with data sources comprising teachers, students, and learning activities. Data collection methods included classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, involving IPAS teachers and students as participants selected through purposive sampling based on the research needs. The learning context was observed directly. Data analysis was conducted through thematic coding, data reduction, data presentation, and verification using source triangulation, member checking, and peer discussion. The research findings, based on interviews, indicate that the integration of AI through GBL in IPAS learning has transformed the instructional design into a more exploratory approach. This is evident from the increased active participation of students and enhanced collaboration, as observed through an increase in their ability to observe, ask questions, test hypotheses, and draw conclusions in accordance with the indicators of scientific thinking. Based on interviews with teachers and students, IPAS learning through AI functions as a digital experimental medium that enables students to solve problems independently with the teacher serving as a facilitator. This approach also fosters a transformation of the school’s learning culture toward inquiry-based learning that is more adaptive, enjoyable, and relevant to advancements in educational technology.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of children’s storybooks on elementary school students’ reading interest. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 54 fourth-grade students aged 9–10 years from a public elementary school in Indonesia, consisting of 25 males and 29 females. The students were divided into three groups: 18 students in the control class, 18 in experimental class 1, and 18 in experimental class 2. Data were collected using a reading interest questionnaire administered during pretest and posttest, supported by observation and documentation. The data were analyzed quantitatively using paired samples t-tests to examine within-group differences and additional analyses, including independent samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA, to compare differences between groups. The results showed no significant difference in the reading interest of students in the control class. In contrast, significant improvements were found in both experimental classes after the implementation of children’s storybooks. Furthermore, the between-group analysis indicated that the experimental groups demonstrated greater improvement compared to the control group. These findings suggest that the use of children’s storybooks has a positively and statistically significant effect on improving students’ reading interest. Therefore, children’s storybooks can be considered an effective instructional medium to enhance reading interest among elementary school students.

Abstract

The persistent misalignment between national higher education policy mandates and institutional governance practices in Indonesian vocational higher education institutions (VHEIs) continues to obstruct effective lecturer performance management. This study develops and validates the Data-Driven Policy–Governance Alignment Model (DPGAM), a theoretically integrated framework that synthesizes policy alignment theory, institutional analytics theory, and organizational learning theory to diagnose and bridge the policy–governance gap in VHEIs. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design with a comparison group longitudinal component, this study aimed to analyze data from 4,424 lecturers across 142 VHEIs between 2022 and 2024. A 48-item validated instrument, the Governance Alignment Assessment Tool (GAAT), measured six governance dimensions. Common method bias was assessed using Harman's single-factor test (variance explained = 22.7%, below the 50% threshold) and procedural remedies. Structural equation modeling (SEM) identified Policy Compliance Index (? = 0.421, p < .001), Governance Transparency Score (? = 0.318, p < .001), and Data Infrastructure Quality (? = 0.287, p = .003) as the strongest predictors of the Policy Alignment Score (PAS). Post-DPGAM implementation demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the Composite Lecturer Performance Index (CLPI) from 63.5 to 76.8 (Cohen's d = 1.32, p < .001; difference-in-differences = 11.4 points). Unexpectedly, private polytechnics showed disproportionately lower transparency compliance than community colleges, challenging assumptions about institutional size and governance capacity. The model demonstrated strong construct validity (Cronbach's ? = 0.74–0.87) and acceptable model fit (CFI = .962, RMSEA = .048). These findings offer a theoretically grounded, empirically validated, and reproducible governance framework for policymakers and administrators in vocational higher education

Abstract

The Pancasila Student Profile is one of the government's efforts to internalize Pancasila values ??in society through education. This study was conducted to analyze the implementation of the Pancasila student profile in the independent curriculum, especially in differentiated learning methods in Elementary Schools. The purpose of this study is to describe the application of the Pancasila student profile in the independent curriculum for students of UPT SD Negeri 17 Durian, Medang Deras District, using the Pancasila student profile dimension indicators. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects were the principal, the fourth-grade homeroom teacher, and fourth-grade students of SD Negeri 17 Durian. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using data triangulation techniques. The results of the study show that the implementation of the independent curriculum is effective in shaping students' character. Most students are in the good category in the dimensions of faith and noble character (68%), global diversity (46.6%), cooperation (31.6%), independence (96%), creativity (21.6%), and critical reasoning (47.97%). Implementing this curriculum not only increases students' motivation and potential but also shapes their character, developing them into intelligent and disciplined individuals. These results imply that the independent curriculum can shape the Pancasila Student Profile.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of academic culture on organisational sustainability, with faculty performance as a mediating factor, in the context of higher education. A qualitative case study approach was employed. In this study, mediation is interpreted as an explanatory process that describes how academic culture influences organisational sustainability through faculty performance, consistent with the qualitative research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 30 faculty members from private universities and analysed using thematic analysis in NVivo 14. The findings reveal that academic culture serves as a fundamental driver shaping faculty behaviour and work orientation. Individual motivation, institutional demands, and administrative workload influence faculty performance. The key finding of this study highlights that faculty performance serves as a key mechanism connecting academic culture and organisational sustainability. Organisational sustainability is conceptualised as a multidimensional construct encompassing academic quality, governance, and innovation. This study contributes to theory by proposing a more integrated understanding of the relationship among academic culture, faculty performance, and organisational sustainability. This study contributes theoretically by integrating academic culture, faculty performance, and organisational sustainability into a comprehensive conceptual model. Practically, the findings emphasise the importance of strengthening academic culture, improving faculty performance, and enhancing leadership roles in promoting sustainability in higher education institutions, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia
