Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the implementation and outcomes of a School–Family Literacy Partnership model in fostering reading habits among children in early childhood education. It also investigates how the integration of school and family literacy practices supports sustainable reading habit formation. Method: A mixed-methods intervention design was employed involving two early childhood education institutions in Indonesia. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, reading journals, and program evaluation records, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results:  Integrating school literacy activities, home reading practices, parental involvement, monitoring, and reading recognition created a supportive literacy environment that strengthened children's reading engagement. Students achieved an average of 71 and 73 books per student, while program effectiveness reached 93.1% and 87.5%, indicating the important role of parental involvement in sustaining reading habits. Novelty: A School–Family Literacy Partnership Model is proposed to conceptualize reading habit formation as the outcome of coordinated interactions between school and family literacy environments. The model extends existing literacy interventions by emphasizing cross-context collaboration as a key mechanism for developing sustainable reading habits in early childhood education.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the research was to develop and evaluate a POAC-Based Educational Management Model for literacy development in early childhood education and to assess its effectiveness and feasibility. Method: The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE framework, integrating quantitative and qualitative methods. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, reading journals, and expert validation, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results:  The proposed model achieved a 91.9% validity score and demonstrated high implementation effectiveness, with 93.1% in RA Ma'arif and 87.5% in TK Melati. The findings show that systematic planning, effective stakeholder coordination, structured implementation, and continuous monitoring significantly enhanced literacy development and fostered a sustainable literacy culture. These outcomes indicate that management-driven literacy programs can improve educational quality by ensuring consistent and collaborative literacy practices, supporting the achievement of SDG 4, particularly in promoting inclusive and equitable quality learning opportunities. Novelty: This study introduces a POAC-Based Educational Management Model that conceptualizes literacy development as a management-driven process rather than solely an instructional activity. The model provides a practical and sustainable framework for strengthening literacy culture in early childhood education institutions.This management-oriented approach contributes to the literature by offering an innovative strategy for advancing SDG 4, particularly through improving the quality, effectiveness, and sustainability of literacy education in early childhood settings.

Abstract

Objective: Student well-being has become an increasingly important indicator of educational quality; however, existing research has largely examined it through individual programmes or psychological interventions rather than as a product of school culture. This article investigates how Family-Oriented School Culture fosters student well-being in Islamic junior high schools. Method: A qualitative multisite case study was conducted in two Islamic junior high schools in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analysed through within-site and cross-site analysis, with triangulation employed to enhance credibility. Result: Analysis identified four interconnected dimensions of Family-Oriented School Culture: (1) a family-like school climate, (2) emotional and spiritual support, (3) collective character development, and (4) non-academic support systems. Together, these dimensions formed an integrated organizational culture that strengthened students' sense of belonging, emotional security, responsibility, empathy, discipline, and interpersonal relationships. Positive character and well-being developed simultaneously through sustained interactions among teachers, students, families, and the wider school community rather than through isolated support programmes. Novelty: By conceptualizing Family-Oriented School Culture as an organizational mechanism for student well-being, the article extends existing literature that primarily emphasizes individual interventions and school climate as separate constructs. The proposed framework offers practical guidance for school leaders in developing safe, inclusive, supportive, and family-oriented educational environments that contribute to student well-being and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4.

Abstract

Objective: To examine the effect of scaffolded Project-Based Learning on junior high school students’ critical thinking skills in science learning on the topic of food additives.  Method: Employing a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design involving three intact junior high school classes (Classes 8E, 8F, and 8H). Students participated in scaffolded Project-Based Learning activities on the topic of food additives.  Results: The findings revealed that scaffolded Project-Based Learning effectively improved students’ critical thinking skills across the three participating classes. The mean N-Gain scores reached 0.70 in Class 8E, 0.94 in Class 8F, and 0.91 in Class 8H, all of which were categorized as high. The greatest improvements were consistently observed in the interpretation, inference, and self-regulation indicators, while the explanation and evaluation indicators demonstrated comparatively lower gains in some classes. These findings indicate that integrating structured scaffolding into Project-Based Learning effectively promotes higher-order thinking by supporting students in interpreting information, analyzing contextual problems, drawing evidence-based conclusions, and regulating their own learning processes. Novelty: Extends previous research by integrating structured scaffolding into Project-Based Learning to strengthen junior high school students’ critical thinking skills in science learning on the topic of food additives. Furthermore, the study contributes to the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 by providing empirical evidence that scaffolded Project-Based Learning promotes meaningful, student-centered, and competency-based science education that develops essential twenty-first-century skills.

Abstract

Objective: To develop a conceptual framework that integrates negative politeness strategies (Brown & Levinson, 1987) with their linguistic realization (House & Kasper, 1981) in the context of thesis supervision negotiations via WhatsApp. It further examines how power, social distance, and the degree of imposition shape the selection of politeness strategies and their linguistic markers across episodes of digital academic negotiation. Method: Employing a qualitative approach, this study adopts a sociopragmatic corpus-based design using a small specialized corpus comprising 37 speech events extracted from WhatsApp interactions between undergraduate students and their thesis supervisors. The data were analyzed through a multi-layered analytical framework linking sociopragmatic variables, negative politeness strategies, and their corresponding linguistic mitigation devices. Results: Students consistently constructed request sequences using a multi-stage discourse structure consisting of greetings, apologies, the core request, and expressions of gratitude. Their requests were predominantly realized through indirect strategies (87.9%), accompanied by politeness markers such as respectful emojis (89.2%) and expressions of gratitude (86.5%). In contrast, supervisors typically responded briefly and asymmetrically, with only 29.7% of responses explicitly granting the request, reflecting an asymmetric distribution of politeness marking associated with institutional power relations. Novelty: To contribute by integrating negative politeness strategies and their linguistic realizations into a unified multi-layered analytical framework, rather than treating them as separate objects of investigation as in previous studies. It also extends the taxonomy of politeness markers by incorporating multimodal digital resources, particularly emojis, as integral components of negative politeness strategies in digital academic communication. By clarifying how respectful and equitable communication is co-constructed between students and supervisors, this study also contributes to efforts toward Quality Education (SDG 4), particularly in strengthening inclusive and supportive pedagogical relationships in higher education.

Abstract

Objective: To examine the forms, directness strategies, pedagogical functions, and sociopragmatic motivations of teachers' directive utterances in Indonesian language learning at Muhammadiyah Islamic Junior Secondary Schools1, Malang City. Method: A qualitative case-study design is proposed, combining non-participant observation, audio-video recording, field notes, and teaching-document analysis. Directive units are interpreted through an integrated coding matrix covering linguistic form, degree of directness, pragmatic modifiers, lesson phase, and pedagogical uptake. Descriptive frequencies are used only to display the qualitative patterning of the corpus. Results: The provisional analytical model indicates that commands and instructions constitute the largest category (31.18%), followed by question-directives (23.66%) and requests (16.13%). Direct strategies account for 55.91% of the modeled corpus, yet their interpersonal force is frequently softened by markers such as silakan, coba, mari, vocatives, and the particle ya. Procedural organization, participation elicitation, and cognitive scaffolding emerge as the dominant pedagogical functions. Novelty: Rather than treating directives as isolated sentence types, this study connects form, social relations, pedagogical purpose, and student uptake in a single sociopragmatic-pedagogical framework. The analysis demonstrates how teacher authority can be enacted without eliminating solidarity, dialogic participation, or value-sensitive communication in an Islamic junior secondary school.

Abstract

Objective: Coastal tidal flooding is an increasing challenge in Indonesia due to sea-level rise, land subsidence, and climate change. This study aims to evaluate the performance of floating fiber embankment technology as an adaptive infrastructure solution for tidal flood mitigation and its contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 and SDG 13.  Method: The study used numerical simulation and laboratory experiments to analyze the structural behavior of floating fiber embankments under hydrostatic pressure. ANSYS software was applied to evaluate stress, strain, and deformation, while physical model testing was conducted to validate simulation results. Results:  The results showed that the floating fiber embankment has good stability and adaptive capability. The simulation produced maximum stress of 8.231 × 10⁶ Pa, strain of 0.00045 m/m, and deformation of 0.0043 m, while laboratory testing resulted in similar values with stress of 8.210 × 10⁶ Pa, strain of 0.00044 m/m, and deformation of 0.0041 m. Novelty: The study introduces an adaptive floating fiber embankment concept as a sustainable coastal protection solution. Unlike conventional static structures, this technology can adjust to tidal changes and support climate-resilient infrastructure development aligned with SDG 11 and SDG 13.
