Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the narratives of Kampung Warna-warni Jodipan, Kampung Budaya Polowijen, and Kampoeng Heritage Kajoetangan, three Malang City themed villages that have developed into popular tourist destinations. Social media, especially platforms like Instagram, has become a powerful tool in promoting tourism by enabling destinations to reach global audiences, foster community engagement, and create visually driven narratives that attract visitors. This approach aligns with the Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) 11, a globally recognized framework that emphasizes creating inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and human settlements worldwide. By promoting these villages through effective Instagram storytelling, tourism managers can support SDG 11’s objectives by highlighting unique cultural heritage while also contributing to local economic and social sustainability. This study used a quantitative descriptive content analysis method. The results revealed that the three thematic villages have not yet fully used storytelling techniques in the content created and posted on Instagram, and have not optimally used tourism components, such as attractions, amenities, and accessibility. These findings suggest that the managers of the Kampung Warna-warni Jodipan, Kampung Budaya Polowijen, and Kampoeng Heritage Kajoetangan should consider incorporating storytelling elements and tourism components in creating content to effectively target audiences and highlight the unique qualities of each village.

Abstract

Community empowerment grants is one of many initiatives by the Malaysian government to foster social change, economic development and environmental sustainability at the grassroots' level. Annually, the government through its many ministries offer such grants to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) for community program implementations with a predefined aim, scope and target beneficiaries. Analysis of relevant documents, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions involving representatives of Jabatan Pendaftaran Pertubuhan Malaysia (JPPM) and local NGOs is the qualitative method used to enhance the evaluation of community program grant proposals, particularly with the aim to ensure objectivity, fairness and transparency. In this paper, preliminary studies for developing scoring rubric to address the above issue, drawing from extensive review of current practices and responses received from both the government and the NGOs. The assessment is designed around dimensions of community empowerment deliverables, measurable outcomes, implementation capacity, risk management, and program sustainability, each with their own set of indicators. Additionally, this paper also explored the challenges and potential for the application of the scoring rubric for different type of grants, projects or users. In conclusion, by providing a clear and consistent tool to evaluation community program proposals, it is believed that the decision-making and evaluation processes for public-funded community programs, and subsequently the positive impact of such initiatives by the government can be further improved.

Abstract

Coffee cultivation plays a pivotal role in global agricultural trade, offering cultural, economic, and social value that transcends borders. In Indonesia, particularly in Jember Regency, coffee stands out as a leading agricultural product, supporting local economies and contributing significantly to global coffee exports. Within this context, the Sumber Kembang Farmer Group cultivates and processes coffee, offering a diverse range of products, including coffee logs and ground coffee, derived from both Robusta and Arabica varieties and processed through various methods. This research aims to identify optimal strategies for developing the group's coffee business. A case study approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and a literature review. The analysis used several strategic tools, including the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) Matrix, External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix, Internal-External (IE) Matrix, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) Matrix, and Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). The findings reveal that the coffee enterprise of the Sumber Kembang Farmer Group is positioned in quadrant IV of the IE matrix, indicating a Growth and Build strategy. This positioning underscores the need for an extensive and integrative approach encompassing six strategic components. Prioritizing the improvement of product marketing quality is identified as a critical step toward achieving business development goals.

Abstract

As a vocational college, Politeknik Negeri Jember (Polije) has developed teaching factories, or TeFa, as one manifestation of ‘learning by doing’ to provide skilled graduates for the industrial world. TeFa Integrated Hotel, one of 29 Teaching Factories established by Polije, is gearing up to give the students a small-size hospitality industry simulation. Thus, it intends to improve services by one of which is initiating a hotel laundry business. This research aims to analyse the equipment needed to initiate a laundry business at the TeFa Integrated Hotel. This laundry business is essential for the TeFa to fulfil the needs of customers and its housekeeping section to suppress the operational costs. This research applied a descriptive-qualitative method by collecting data through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FDG). The results showed that to start a laundry business, some equipment must be available, including work equipment such as washing machines, dryers, irons, and ironing boards, as well as consumable equipment such as detergent, softener, bleach, acids, and alkalis. For a small-sized hotel laundry, the work equipment standard that must be met includes the size of the washing machine, which is usually equipped with a drying machine between 8-20 Kg adjusted to the room quota and variety of customers. As equipment is the main supporter in running a business, this research can be impactful in determining the business's success in the future. Additionally, any service improvements made by TeFa Integrated Hotel will further support Polije in providing the best graduates to the industry.

Abstract

Professionalism is a cornerstone of success in the tourism industry, underscoring the need for targeted skill development among students pursuing tourism-related education. Recognising this, Politeknik Negeri Jember (Polije) launched the Edu tourism teaching factory. This innovative initiative integrates Tourism Destination Study Program students into real-world industry environments, fostering professionalism through experiential learning. This effort aligns with Polije’s outcome-based education framework, emphasising the production of industry-ready graduates. A critical component of this initiative is the development of structured teaching materials that address the specific aspects of professionalism required in the tourism sector. However, identifying these components necessitates comprehensive research into students’ perceptions and industry needs. Grounded in the context of global tourism, where professionalism directly impacts service quality and customer satisfaction, this qualitative study explores the requirements for teaching materials that promote professionalism. Using simple random sampling, 125 students were surveyed, complemented by interviews with program managers, Edu tourism administrators, and student representatives. The Miles and Huberman technique was employed for data analysis, integrating triangulated survey and interview data. Key findings revealed that students prioritise politeness, communication skills, and respect, followed by attention to detail, helpfulness, and consideration. Preferred teaching tools include bilingual video tutorials on service excellence, reflecting the industry’s global nature. This study has significant implications for global tourism education and practice. It addresses the critical need to standardise professionalism training. By aligning teaching materials with real-world industry demands, this research supports enhancing service standards and fostering a globally competitive tourism workforce.

Abstract

Design Thinking (DT), originating in industrial design, has evolved into a transformative framework for addressing global educational challenges, particularly in the development of teaching materials. By emphasizing empathy, ideation, and iterative prototyping, DT fosters creativity, collaboration, and adaptability, supporting active, interdisciplinary learning. However, challenges persist in integrating DT into curriculum design, pedagogy, and teaching materials, as well as evaluating its impact on student outcomes. This systematic literature review analyses the worldwide studies from 2010 to 2024 using a semi-systematic approach. Peer-reviewed literature from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was examined through thematic analysis to identify DT’s principles, educational impacts, and implementation barriers. The findings demonstrate DT’s ability to enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and engagement while aligning with technological and sustainability goals. Despite these benefits, institutional and cultural barriers, inadequate teacher training, and resource constraints limit its effectiveness. The review highlights the need for localized frameworks, integration of emerging technologies, and robust empirical research. Addressing these gaps can help educators create inclusive, innovative, and student-centred learning environments, equipping students with skills for an increasingly complex and globalized world.

Abstract

This study explores the pivotal role of language in fostering cross-cultural appreciation among Indonesian International Student Mobility Awards (IISMA) awardees. We examined the experiences of two awardees of prestigious international exchange programs to understand how language acquisition and use influenced their cultural perceptions and interactions. Using a mixed-methods approach, we conducted in-depth interviews and administered surveys to gather data on the participants’ language learning journeys, intercultural communications, and shifts in cultural perspectives. The selected participants represented diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and completed exchanges in countries where they needed to navigate a foreign language. Our findings reveal that language proficiency significantly enhanced the awardees’ ability to appreciate and engage with host cultures. Key themes emerged, including: 1) the role of language as a gateway to deeper cultural understanding; 2) Challenges and breakthroughs in intercultural communication; 3) The impact of idiomatic expressions on cultural insight; 4) Changes in self-perception and cultural identity through language learning; and 5) The development of empathy and cultural relativism. Quantitative data indicated a strong positive correlation between language proficiency and measures of cultural appreciation. Qualitative analysis provided rich insights into the nuanced ways language shaped the awardees’ cross-cultural experiences. This research contributes to our understanding of the intricate relationship between language and culture in international education contexts. It offers valuable implications for enhancing student exchange programs and promoting global citizenship through targeted language and cultural learning strategies.
