Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of verbal bullying most often experienced by students and identify differences in experiences based on gender factors. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from school students through a survey and analyzed to reveal patterns of verbal bullying. The results showed the three most dominant types of verbal bullying: name-calling, insults, and teasing. In addition, further analysis showed that the experience of verbal bullying was influenced by gender factors, with patterns and intensity varying between male and female students. These findings highlight the need for school policies and intervention programs that consider gender aspects to create a safe and bullying-free learning environment. This study makes an essential contribution to efforts to prevent verbal bullying, both through educational approaches and evidence-based policies.

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to assess the environmental education integration model's effectiveness in improving elementary school students' knowledge and attitudes in science subjects. Efforts to integrate environmental education with subjects in elementary schools have developed to emphasize the importance of student knowledge development. However, limitations in time and learning achievement targets require carefully designed integration methods. This study is an experiment that applies the integration of Environmental Education (EE) with science lessons through video media and class discussions. This research is classified as quantitative research with a quasi-experimental approach. The population of this study consisted of 4th-grade elementary school students in Makassar City. The data analysis technique used was the pretest-posttest group design, and hypothesis testing was analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. The results of this study indicate that there is potential to support the integration model. Environmental Education integration material was selected by reviewing the science lesson planning documents and searching for relevant environmental issue news on electronic media. The findings revealed differences in students' knowledge and attitudes before and after receiving environmental education through the integration of science learning. The changes in students’ environmental knowledge and attitudes were also significantly different before and after the environmental education was provided.

Abstract

Globalization has redefined the skills required for success in higher education, with intercultural competence (IC) emerging as a critical attribute for global citizens. This study explores the role of student exchange programs in promoting IC among higher education students in Indonesia, focusing on four key dimensions: cultural awareness, knowledge, attitude, and language skills. Drawing on theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence, this paper examines the transformative potential of exchange programs in enhancing students' ability to navigate diverse cultural contexts. Despite the documented benefits, such as improved cultural sensitivity, broader knowledge horizons, and enhanced employability, challenges remain, including socio-economic constraints and adaptation issues in host countries. By addressing these dynamics within Indonesia’s unique socio-economic and educational landscape, this study provides valuable insights into the internationalization of higher education in emerging economies. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive program design and policy interventions to ensure equitable access and sustained development of IC. This research contributes to the broader discourse on global education and offers practical recommendations for institutions and policymakers to optimize the impact of exchange programs. 
A Lived Experience Well-Understood: What Montesquieu’s The Spirit of the Laws Can Tell Us about Civic Learning in Higher Education Berebon, Charles

Abstract

 This article explores how Montesquieu’s theoretical response to the perceived dangers of modern commerce can inform contemporary approaches to teaching citizenship in higher education. I argue that a Montesquieu-inspired framework for civic learning, which emphasizes a thorough study of a nation’s constitutional and positive laws, would (1) require a foundational level of scientific and economic literacy to understand how recent innovations in commercial modernity might undermine the authority of these laws if left unregulated, and (2) foster an appreciation for the laws, customs, institutions, and practices that these same innovations threaten to erode. The article concludes with practical recommendations for cultivating resilient future stewards of our self-governing republic. I contend that universities must create learning environments that inspire students to pursue diverse forms of success and recognition, particularly by imposing significant restrictions on the use of electronic devices in classrooms.

Abstract

Impunity, defined as the exemption from punishment for acts that harm individuals or society, remains a critical challenge in nations where the rule of law is weak. It manifests through the failure to prosecute human rights violators and criminal offenders, often due to systemic corruption, weak judicial institutions, and entrenched patronage networks. In Nigeria, persistent social unrest and the absence of peaceful coexistence stem largely from the culture of impunity, where offenders evade justice and are sometimes celebrated rather than punished. This breakdown of societal values exacerbates insecurity and erodes public trust in governance. This paper critically examines Nigeria’s sociopolitical landscape, arguing that impunity is the primary driver of the nation’s cyclical security crises. Drawing from philosophical and legal perspectives, the study posits that the effective enforcement of the rule of law is indispensable in addressing Nigeria’s security challenges. By advocating for institutional reforms, judicial independence, and accountability mechanisms, this paper proposes a philosophical panacea to impunity and its attendant crises.

Abstract

The modern university often functions as an instrument of domestication, prioritizing the reinforcement of social and economic norms over the expansion of intellectual and imaginative frontiers. The Anthropocene epoch compels us to reimagine the humanities not as isolated, hierarchical disciplines but as foundational to understanding human existence and ethical responsibility within a more-than-human world. This essay advocates for restructuring the American academy in line with Mark C. Taylor’s vision of a multidisciplinary space dedicated to the “comparative analysis of common problems”. It proposes that religious traditions provide valuable frameworks for integrating the humanities (literature, philosophy, arts), social sciences (governance, law), and STEM fields. Furthermore, as society confronts unprecedented environmental, technological, and economic upheavals, engaging with religious texts becomes essential for critiquing the limitations of liberal ideologies ill-equipped to address the climate crisis. This paper introduces the concept of “rewilding” higher education, modeled after conservation principles, emphasizing three key tenets: creativity, curriculum, and collaboration. While focusing on the intersections of religion, ecology, and climate ethics, this approach has implications for all academic disciplines..

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of science learning experiences on students’ science performance in Indonesia, utilizing data from PISA 2015 assessment. Science learning experiences refer to students’ engagement in different science subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth and Space Science, Applied Science, and Integrated Science. A quantitative approach was employed using multiple statistical analyses, including descriptive analysis, independent t-test, and regression analysis. The findings indicate that students who enrolled in specific science subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, and Biology exhibited higher science performance compared to those who did not. However, inconsistent results were found for Applied Science and Integrated Science. These findings suggest that the type and structure of science education play a critical role in students’ academic achievement. The study highlights the need for curriculum improvements to enhance science learning experiences in Indonesian Schools.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to examine the role of optimism as a mediator in the relationship between social support and adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) treatment among people living with HIV (PLHIV). The study involved 53 respondents who had undergone at least one follow-up visit, selected from Gaya Celebes Foundation, the Peer Support Concern Foundation (YPKDS), the Indonesian Positive Women Association (IPPI), and Kassi-Kassi Community Health Center. Data collection was conducted using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R). The results of SEM analysis showed: (1) a significant effect of social support on treatment adherence (f=0.367; t=3.803; p=0.000); (2) a significant effect of optimism on treatment adherence (f=0.186; t=2.476; p=0.013); (3) a significant effect of social support on optimism (f=0.295; t=5.130; p=0.000); and (4) a significant effect of social support on treatment adherence mediated by optimism (t=2.057; p=0.040) with a total upsilon (v) of 0.026. These findings indicate that social support influences ARV treatment adherence among PLHIV, and this influence is strengthened when optimism acts as a mediator.  Keywords: Optimism, Social Support, Treatment Adherence, ODHIV

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of Interactive Multimedia Learning Objects (IMLO) on the reading interest of mentally impaired students at SLB Al Qasmi Watampone. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observation, teacher interviews, and document analysis. The focus was on four key indicators of reading interest: joyful feeling, willingness, attention, and participation, as adapted from Slameto (2010). Five students with mentally impaired were observed during reading sessions that incorporated IMLO, while two teachers provided insights on students' behavior and learning progress. The findings revealed that the use of IMLO significantly improved students’ engagement in all four aspects of reading interest. Students showed greater emotional enjoyment, motivation, focus, and active involvement in reading activities when interacting with multimedia-based materials. Teachers noted that IMLO encouraged autonomy and curiosity, although limitations such as limited device access, the need for supervision, and weak memory retention remained challenges. Overall, IMLO proved to be an effective tool for supporting literacy development among mentally impaired students. The study suggests that with adequate infrastructure and teacher training, IMLO can be implemented successfully in inclusive education settings to enhance student motivation and participation in reading.

Abstract

Abstract. Many students feel less self-efficacy in their writing abilities, especially in producing writing that meets academic standards. Bad previous experiences often influence one's approach to writing academic assignments. As a result, students tend to feel anxious, demotivated, or even experience writer's block, which can delay their progress on the final research report. This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence tools on students’ self-efficacy in writing their final research report. This research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews and documentation analysis involving six undergraduate students who completed their final research report using artificial intelligence tools. Findings suggest that utilizing artificial intelligence tools, such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and DeepL, in the writing of the final research report can enhance students’ self-efficacy. The conclusion affirms that AI tools not only impacts the quality of the writing produced as the medium in the digital era and education, but also the internal processes that shape students' self-efficacy and behaviors in academic writing. Keywords: Self-Efficacy; Artificial Intelligence; Undergraduate Students; Influences; Final Research Report
