Abstract

This study explores the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) simulations in middle school science education, focusing on improving students’ conceptual understanding of complex topics such as metamorphosis. The research adopts an experimental design with a treatment group using AR simulations and a control group utilizing traditional teaching methods. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of AR in enhancing students' engagement, motivation, and understanding, as well as to evaluate the perceptions of both students and teachers regarding its use in the classroom. Data is collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure conceptual understanding, along with perception questionnaires to gather feedback on the AR learning experience. The results of this study are expected to reveal that students in the AR treatment group will demonstrate greater improvements in their conceptual understanding compared to those in the control group. Additionally, it is anticipated that both students and teachers will report positive feedback on the use of AR, citing its interactive and immersive nature as a key factor in boosting motivation and engagement. The study also addresses challenges such as access to technology, cost, and the need for teacher training in effectively integrating AR into the curriculum. The findings suggest that AR can significantly enhance science learning outcomes, making complex concepts more accessible and engaging. The study concludes with recommendations for schools to adopt AR technology, ensure teacher training, and invest in the necessary resources to support AR integration in the classroom. By doing so, AR can play a pivotal role in improving middle school science education.

Abstract

This research seeks to evaluate how asset and logistics management innovation enhances operational efficiency in the Household Division of the East Java Provincial Secretariat. The study focuses on the bureaucratic reform initiative aimed at attaining transparent, accountable, and effective asset management via digital transformation. The emphasis lies on how digital inventory systems, purchasing methods, and asset allocation aid in minimizing budget waste and improving efficiency. This research utilized a qualitative descriptive strategy through a case study technique. Data were gathered via extensive interviews, direct observation, and analysis of internal documents, subsequently undergoing data reduction and triangulation to confirm validity. The results indicate that the adoption of the e-inventory system has enhanced administrative efficiency by as much as 30%, but issues persist with data integration and employee digital skills. Additionally, the lack of a real-time public monitoring system restricts transparency in logistics management. The research advises enhancing employee training, creating cohesive SOPs, and adopting technology-driven assessment systems. These actions are anticipated to promote effective, efficient, and sustainable asset management in the East Java Provincial Secretariat.

Abstract

This research seeks to examine the innovative governance of police logistics to enhance the operational service efficiency at the Logistics Bureau of East Java Regional Police. The research context arises from the need to reform police logistics management to meet technological innovations and demands for public accountability. This research utilized a qualitative method featuring a case study approach, incorporating extensive interviews with logistics officers, operational personnel, and third-party providers, along with firsthand observations of digital logistics management systems. The results indicate that the adoption of the Integrated Logistic Management System (ILMS) and barcode tracking has improved transparency, distribution speed, and efficiency in operational budgets. Nonetheless, difficulties persist in human resource capability and interdepartmental collaboration. The dialogue suggests that these advancements correspond with adaptive governance theory, stressing bureaucratic adaptability in response to organizational shifts, and public service motivation, which underscores the importance of motivation and professionalism in enhancing the quality of public services. The research finds that digital innovation and performance-oriented assessment enhance the efficiency of police operational services. It suggests enhancing human resource capabilities, performance assessment systems, and collaboration among units to attain transparent, effective, and sustainable logistics management.

Abstract

This study compares hybrid and traditional face-to-face learning environments to assess their impact on student collaboration, engagement, and social interaction. Hybrid learning models combine in-person and online instruction, providing flexibility but also introducing challenges in maintaining meaningful student interactions, particularly for remote learners. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid classrooms in fostering social engagement, collaboration, and peer relationships compared to traditional classrooms. A comparative design was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and surveys to measure student engagement, satisfaction, and collaboration. The findings indicate that while hybrid learning offers flexibility, it often leads to reduced social presence and collaboration quality, especially for remote students. Traditional classrooms, on the other hand, foster stronger peer relationships and dynamic in-person collaboration. The study suggests that hybrid learning spaces can be improved by integrating advanced communication tools and designing activities that encourage interaction between remote and in-person students. The research emphasizes the importance of creating balanced learning environments that promote both flexibility and social engagement. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of hybrid learning on student collaboration and engagement and to identify strategies to enhance the effectiveness of hybrid models.

Abstract

This research examines the innovation of community empowerment rooted in local wisdom for environmental management and green economy advancement in Ketegan Village, Taman District, Sidoarjo Regency. The study stems from the increasing environmental issues resulting from urban development and the limited public understanding of sustainable economic measures. The research examines how local values—like cooperative efforts and social responsibility—can be incorporated into innovative, economically effective environmental management frameworks. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data collection involved in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and the documentation of environmental policies and socio-economic information. The results indicate that residents of Ketegan have effectively created an empowerment model that integrates tradition and innovation via waste bank management, the use of organic waste for compost and biogas, and community-driven green economy projects engaging women and youth. Cooperation between the government, community, and universities has been essential in maintaining these initiatives. However, institutional capability, online marketing, and program viability continue to pose considerable obstacles. The research suggests enhancing community potential by providing training in green entrepreneurship, facilitating digital transformation, and incorporating local wisdom principles into sustainable development strategies. The results confirm that innovation rooted in local wisdom can effectively create resilient, competitive, and environmentally aware communities.
