Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between teachers’ professional commitment, well-being, and their adoption of technology in educational settings, focusing on economics educators in Indonesia. As digital integration becomes increasingly essential in teaching, understanding the internal factors that shape educators’ readiness to use technology is crucial. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS), the study analyzes questionnaire data from 207 respondents to examine both direct and indirect effects among the key variables. The findings show that teacher well-being significantly enhances professional commitment, which in turn positively influences technology adoption. Additionally, self-development and pedagogical competence contribute meaningfully to teachers’ willingness to integrate technological tools into their instructional practices. These results extend the application of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT-1) by demonstrating how psychological and professional factors shape technology acceptance in educational contexts. Overall, the study provides important insights for improving teacher training programs, strengthening institutional support, and promoting effective digital integration in economics education. By emphasizing the interconnected roles of well-being, commitment, and competence, the research highlights pathways for enhancing pedagogical innovation and supporting sustainable educational development

Abstract

We report a controlled, semester-long teaching experiment in an upper-division antitrust economics course. Two back-to-back sections were held constant in content, assessment, and grading; they differed only in policy and guidance on generative AI: one section was permitted to use AI with disclosure and structured training, the other was prohibited from using AI and received parallel non-AI study guidance (n = 29 vs. n = 28). We find no detectable effect of AI permission on proctored exam scores or final grades. By contrast, AI access is associated with higher engagement on in-class activities, longer and more concentrated AI sessions in other courses (15–30 minutes), greater metacognitive behaviors (preferring one’s own answers, catching errors, modifying outputs), more positive perceptions—especially regarding efficiency, confidence, and engagement—and stronger intentions to continue using and studying AI, as well as choosing AI-intensive careers. Standardized course evaluations are also consistently higher in the AI section. Taken together, structured AI access with guardrails appears, in our setting, to reshape how students learn and feel about learning, without raising exam scores.

Abstract

Production efficiency is a benchmark used to determine whether a production activity is running well so that it can achieve maximum profits.This research aims to analyze production levels, factors that influence organic and inorganic rice production results and analyze the level of efficiency. This study uses a quantitative approach. The population in this study were organic and inorganic rice farmers in Sawit District. Determining the sample in this research uses the method simple random sampling  with a total sample of 59 organic farmers and 59 inorganic farmers. Data collection techniques use interviews. The data analysis technique used is production analysis using the Cobb-Douglas production function with multiple linear regression. Technical efficiency analysis uses a frontier production function withStochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Allocative efficiency analysis uses comparative analysis of marginal product value and input prices. Economic efficiency analysis uses a combination of technical efficiency and allocative efficiency. The research results show that the average organic rice production in Sawit District is higher than the average inorganic rice production. Factors that significantly influence production levels are land area, seeds and fertilizer, while pesticides and labor do not significantly influence production levels because their use is not in accordance with needs. Organic and inorganic rice farming is approaching efficiency, where organic rice is technically more efficient than inorganic rice production but has not yet reached price and economic efficiency. It is recommended that in further research, other variables such as age and education can be added as well as analysis of farming development so that it can determine more appropriate decisions.

Abstract

The creation of young entrepreneur in Indonesia has been developed by the government as part of the increase and improvement of the national economy. Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) is an educational institution that potentially produces young entrepreneurs. This research aims to determine the factors that influence santri’s (Pesantren’s students) entrepreneurial motivation, such as family environment, Pesantren environment, peer environment, self-efficacy and entrepreneurial knowledge. This research is a quantitative research which applies questionnaire techniques to collect data taken from 52 santri who are active in Pesantren Fadhlul Fadhlan business unit. The results of this research show that the family environment and Pesantren environment have a positive and significant effect on santri’s entrepreneurial motivation. The peer environment has no effect on santri’s entrepreneurial motivation. Entrepreneurial knowledge moderates the influence of the peer environment on santri’s entrepreneurial motivation. Meanwhile, self-efficacy does not moderate the influence of the family environment, Pesantren environment, and peer environment on santri’s entrepreneurial motivation.

Abstract

Problem Based Learning is a suitabled educational model for the complex economics social studies. However, in practice, teachers in schools seldom develop this model to meet the unique characteristics and learning needs of students. Additionally, the implementation of interactive learning media is also crucial to increase the effectiveness of the model. Based on the reasons, this study attempts to develop the implementation development of Problem Based Learning model asissted by Quizizz on economics social studies at junior high schools. This study used a qualitative approach by Research and Development (R&D) method through the 4D research stages (define, design, develop, and disseminate). This study was conducted at National JHS 32 Semarang, focus on the 9th grade. The limited experiment was done in a class with 30 students and the next experiment was done in two class which also have 30 student each. The instruments in this study include observations, interview, and questionaries. In addition, the validity of data is tested using the data triangulation techniques. The research finding focused on developing the Problem Based Learning syntax and integrating the Quizizz as an auxiliary model. According to the validity questionnaire assessment, the average feasibility assessment for development products was 91% (Very Good) and 9% (Good). Meanwhile, student satisfaction responses to development were 98% (Strongly Agree) and 2% (Agree). Thus, the Problem Based Learning model assisted by Quizizz was declared worthy of dissemination. Based on the finding of this studies, the use of the Problem Based Learning Model assisted by Quizizz needs to be adjusted to the students' characteristics and learning needs in order to maximize the learning outcomes. Besides, the teachers could redevelop the research products by integrating other interactive learning media to boost the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning model.

Abstract

The high unemployment rate of vocational high school graduates in Semarang City proves that students' entrepreneurial intentions have not developed optimally, so it is necessary to understand the factors that influence it, especially self-efficacy, teacher support, and Industrial Internship experience. This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and teacher support on vocational high school students' entrepreneurial intentions, with Industrial Internship as a mediating variable. This study aims to analyze the impact of self-confidence (self-efficacy) and teacher support on vocational high school students' entrepreneurial interests, by placing Industrial Internship (Prakerin) experience as a mediating variable. The method used is a non-experimental quantitative approach, where data were collected through distributing questionnaires to 216 respondents from grade XII students at SMKN Semarang City. Statistical analysis was carried out using path analysis techniques, supported by t-tests, coefficients of determination, and Sobel tests using SPSS software. The research findings reveal that both self-efficacy and teacher support have a positive and significant influence in shaping entrepreneurial intentions, both directly and indirectly. Furthermore, Industrial Internships were shown to function as a mediator, strengthening the relationship between the two independent variables and entrepreneurial intentions. The implications of this study emphasize the need to improve students' personal competencies, optimize the role of educators, and provide quality industrial internship experiences to foster an entrepreneurial spirit among SMKN students in Semarang City, particularly in the areas of Online Business and Marketing.

Abstract

This study aims to examine entrepreneurial behavior among university students and to investigate the effects of perceived desirability, perceived feasibility, and propensity to act, with entrepreneurial intention as a mediating variable and displacement events as a moderating variable. Entrepreneurial behavior reflects the realization of entrepreneurial intention through concrete actions in creating, developing, and managing business ventures. This research employed a quantitative approach using an ex post facto causal research design. The population consisted of 3.221 students from the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Semarang, cohorts 2023–2024, with a sample of 356 respondents selected using the Slovin formula and proportionate random sampling. Data were collected through a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0, including direct, mediation, and moderation analyses. The results indicate that perceived desirability, perceived feasibility, propensity to act, and entrepreneurial intention have significant direct effects on entrepreneurial behavior, while perceived desirability, perceived feasibility, and propensity to act also significantly influence entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial intention mediates the relationships between these antecedent variables and entrepreneurial behavior, and displacement events strengthen the effect of entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial behavior. These findings contribute to entrepreneurial behavior literature by emphasizing the role of displacement events in accelerating the transformation of intention into action and highlight the importance of practice-based learning, action-oriented academic environments, and institutional support in fostering student entrepreneurship.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of Human Development Index (HDI), School Participation Rate (APS), and Labor Force Participation Rate (TPAK) on poverty levels in Kediri Regency during the period 2010-2024. The method used is multiple linear regression with secondary time series data, analyzed using statistical software to test causal relationships among variables. The results show that IPM and APS have a significant negative effect on poverty levels, while TPAK does not have a statistically significant effect. These findings underscore the importance of improving education quality and human development to reduce poverty rates, as well as the need for employment policies that can create productive job opportunities. This study provides empirical contributions to the literature on poverty alleviation using a long-term quantitative approach at the regency level. Furthermore, the study offers practical recommendations for local governments in formulating effective strategies to reduce poverty.
