Abstract

This study aims to analyze student consumer behavior in achieving maximum satisfaction through an ordinal approach. The main focus of this study is to evaluate how the combination of consumption of academic support goods (books, stationery, photocopying) and basic necessities (food, internet, transportation) interacts with budget constraints in forming consumer equilibrium. Using a descriptive quantitative method, this study involved 108 students of Economics Education, class of 2016, at the University of Jambi, as respondents selected through proportional random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using linear regression and the application of the Lagrange function to determine the optimal point of satisfaction. The results showed that simultaneously, the combination of consumed goods significantly influenced the level of student satisfaction, with food and internet as the most dominant determinants. Empirical findings identified that the point of maximum satisfaction was achieved at a combination of internet consumption of 1,783 GB and food of 1,030 portions per year with a total budget of IDR 11,585,622. The novelty of this study lies in the application of ordinal utility theory to dissect the specific consumption patterns of prospective economics education students, which revealed a shift in priorities from physical literature to digital access. The implications of this research contribute to the development of microeconomics, particularly consumer behavior theory, by providing empirical evidence regarding the "survival equilibrium" among college students. In the field of economics education, these results emphasize the importance of strengthening financial literacy so that students can allocate resources more productively. Educational institutions can use these findings as a policy basis for providing more affordable access to digital literacy to align consumption realities with ideal academic needs.

Abstract

Teachers' leadership style is a critical determinant of instructional effectiveness, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts where student engagement is essential. This study aims to identify the dominant leadership styles applied by English teachers and to evaluate the level and characteristics of students' learning motivation in junior high schools on Bangka Island. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 20 English teachers and 20 seventh-grade students. The Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) and a multi-dimensional motivation scale were utilized. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and mapping into the Ohio State leadership quadrants. Findings reveal that teachers predominantly exhibit a "High Initiating Structure and High Consideration" style (Quadrant III), indicating an effective balance between task-oriented and relationship-oriented behaviors. Students' motivation was generally high, driven by strong internal factors such as sense of agency (84%) and need for action (76%). However, external support from "significant others" showed significant variability. The study suggests that teacher leadership is not a fixed trait but a situational capability to synchronize instructional structure with students' psychological needs, thereby fostering an optimal EFL learning environment.

Abstract

The quality of educational output is a crucial indicator of successful human resource development, but the effectiveness of teacher certification policies in improving student academic achievement remains a matter of debate in the educational management literature. This study aims to empirically analyze the influence of certified teachers on the graduation rate of social studies students at public high schools in Jambi City. Using a quantitative approach, this study analyzed panel data covering 11 schools during the 2017–2019 period. The selected estimation method through formal testing is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The results revealed that the presence of certified teachers has a positive and significant effect on student graduation rates (p = 0.0099 < 0.05), with a regression coefficient of 1.518. The Adjusted R-squared value of 0.7209 indicates that teacher professionalism contributes dominantly to the variation in student academic achievement, amounting to 72.09%. The novelty of this study lies in the application of panel data analysis to evaluate the impact of education policies at the local level, which is able to capture specific characteristics between schools that are not observed in conventional cross-sectional studies. Theoretically, these findings strengthen Human Capital Theory by proving that standardizing teacher competencies through certification is a strategic investment that improves internal school efficiency. The implications of this research emphasize the importance for policymakers to improve the quality of post-certification training to ensure the sustainability of its positive impact on graduate quality. This study contributes to the literature on educational effectiveness in developing countries by empirically demonstrating the crucial role of teachers as the primary cognitive agents in the school system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determinants of boarding house purchasing decisions among university students, focusing on the influence of parental economic status and lifestyle. Amidst increasing global educational mobility, understanding student consumption behavior is crucial for the development of the educational property industry. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, this study involved 82 students of the Economics Education Study Program at the University of Jambi who were selected through a total sampling technique . Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The research findings indicate that partially, economic status and lifestyle have a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Simultaneously, both variables contribute 34.1 % to the stability of students' housing choices. Interestingly, the lifestyle variable was found to have a more dominant influence (t-test 5.595) than economic status (t-test 2.126), indicating that subjective value orientation and social identity are prioritized over budgetary rationality. The novelty of this study lies in identifying the phenomenon of inconsistent economic behavior of students, where academic knowledge of economics is often distorted by the demands of a modern lifestyle which triggers a high frequency of residential changes. The implications of this research emphasize the need for boarding house providers to adapt digital and social lifestyle-based facilities. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of consumer behavior theory by emphasizing lifestyle's role as a critical moderator of economic decisions in academic settings.

Abstract

The gap between mastery of pedagogical theory and practical competency in the classroom remains a fundamental challenge in global teacher education. This study aims to analyze the effect of the School Field Introduction (PLP) program as a new policy instrument to bridge this gap on the teaching readiness of prospective teacher students. Using a quantitative approach with an ex-post facto design , this study involved 97 Economics Education students from the 2016 intake of the University of Jambi as respondents. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire instrument and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results empirically prove that PLP has a positive and significant influence on teaching readiness, with a regression coefficient of 0.579 and a high significance value. These findings indicate that direct immersion experiences in schools through cultural observation, assistance, and guided practice play a vital role in transforming declarative knowledge into procedural knowledge and increasing the self-efficacy of prospective teachers. The novelty of this study lies in evaluating the impact of the implementation of the latest teacher education standards regulation (Permenristekdikti No. 55/2017) in the specific context of economics education. This research contributes to the education literature by confirming that PLP is not simply a curricular routine, but rather a key determinant of teacher professionalism. Consequently, Teacher Training Institutions (LPTK) need to strengthen the quality of mentoring during PLP to ensure adaptive and competent graduates.

Abstract

Public interest in improving their quality of life through higher education continues to grow, as evidenced by the rapid growth of private universities. However, access to higher education remains unequal, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to examine the extent to which demand for higher education in Jambi Province is influenced by per capita income and population growth. Using a panel data design, this study analyzes data from 2018–2022 from six districts/cities in Jambi. The data were processed using panel data regression with the help of EViews 12 software. The model selection process (through the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests) showed that the Common Effect Model (CEM) was the most appropriate predictor for the data and research objectives. Empirically, the test results show that per capita income has a positive and significant effect on the demand for higher education. This indicates that increased economic capacity drives preference for higher education opportunities. Furthermore, population growth also has a substantial impact on the demand for higher education, confirming that demographic dynamics influence the public's need for access to this level of education. These findings indicate that the public tends to view higher education as an important means of improving living standards, both socially and economically. Therefore, higher education policies need to consider responses to income variations and demographic dynamics to ensure equitable access and improve the quality of human resources in Jambi Province.
