Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Project-Based Learning model integrated with a deep learning approach on the learning motivation, critical thinking skills, and independence of eleventh-grade students at SMAN IT Syech Walid Thaib Shaleh Indragiri. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group, this research provides quantitative evidence of the pedagogical shift from passive instruction to active cognitive engagement. The findings reveal that the experimental group achieved statistically superior gains in motivation, analytical complexity, and self-regulated learning compared to the control cohort. By embedding rigorous academic standards into authentic, student-led projects, the intervention successfully transformed the classroom environment into a hub for intellectual discovery. Metacognitive reflection, as a cornerstone of the deep learning framework, proved vital in deepening student understanding and fostering long-term academic autonomy. This study demonstrates that the strategic fusion of project-based structures and deep learning principles is a robust, replicable model for enhancing student outcomes, offering critical insights for educators and policymakers dedicated to advancing high-quality secondary education and preparing students for multifaceted modern challenges.

Abstract

The digital transformation of the radio broadcasting industry requires a paradigm shift from traditional audio-centric models to integrated multi-platform strategies. This study examines the content production process of the @globalfmsby Instagram account to understand how Radio Global FM Surabaya maintains its relevance among modern women and families. Employing a descriptive-operational case study approach with immersive participatory observation, this research identifies three critical production phases: pre-production, production, and post-production. Findings reveal that the station utilizes a structured methodology involving audience-based content pillars, visual assets synchronized with brand identity, and the application of AIDA copywriting techniques bolstered by analytical evaluation. The results demonstrate that effective media convergence is not the byproduct of spontaneous creativity but the result of rigorous, data-driven planning and systematic content management. This study contributes to the literature by providing a professional framework for radio stations seeking to harmonize their broadcast heritage with the requirements of the social media attention economy, ensuring sustainable audience engagement in an increasingly fragmented digital environment.

Abstract

The integration of digital infrastructure within the smart city framework of Palangka Raya has fundamentally reconstructed the communication paradigms and sociological structures of its urban residents. This empirical inquiry investigates the complex transition from conventional face-to-face engagements to technologically mediated networks, examining the accompanying social disruptions and emergent community resiliencies. Utilizing a qualitative case study design with a triadic data collection approach, this research identifies an expansion of spatial-social boundaries characterized by highly efficient yet increasingly impersonal relationships. The accelerated adoption of municipal platforms triggers systemic disruptions, manifested through widening digital divides, intensified individualization of daily routines, and a pronounced erosion of organic communal safety nets. Conversely, urban citizens demonstrate active agency by mobilizing self-taught digital literacy, establishing interest-driven cyber spaces, and re-engineering social schedules to balance virtual connectivity with physical cultural rituals. This dynamic synthesis culminates in the conceptualization of an adaptive hybrid society, demonstrating how developing urban populations maintain humanistic resilience and cultural identity while absorbing technocratic modernizations.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed educational practices and generated critical debates regarding whether AI enhances teacher performance or threatens the continuity of the teaching profession. This study aims to examine the role of AI in education by analyzing its contributions, limitations, and potential relationship with human teachers. Employing a non-empirical qualitative literature review approach, this research synthesizes international scholarly publications concerning generative AI, personalized learning, classroom management, human-AI collaboration, and the human dimensions of teaching. The findings indicate that AI significantly improves educational efficiency through automation, adaptive learning support, and data-driven instructional assistance. Nevertheless, AI remains limited in performing affective, ethical, and relational functions that constitute essential components of effective teaching. The study concludes that AI is unlikely to replace teachers entirely but will reshape their professional roles through collaborative human-AI models. This research contributes to the theoretical development of hybrid intelligence perspectives in education and provides a comprehensive understanding of technology integration that preserves the centrality of human pedagogical expertise.

Abstract

This study investigates the policy implementation of digital public service governance in Indonesia through a non-empirical library research design anchored in public administration theory. By synthesizing peer-reviewed literature, statutory regulations, and official institutional reports, the research evaluates the interplay between legislative mandates, bureaucratic restructuring, and organizational adaptation. The findings indicate that while national regulatory frameworks provide essential legal certainty, successful digital transformation is critically dependent on overcoming structural inertia and fostering inter-agency synergy. Furthermore, the analysis highlights that digital literacy and strategic leadership serve as vital determinants for bridging the gap between policy design and grassroots execution. Ultimately, this study contributes to the broader discourse on public sector modernization by demonstrating that technological integration must be accompanied by comprehensive cultural shifts within state institutions to achieve sustainable administrative efficiency and enhanced public service delivery.

Abstract

The controversy surrounding myths has generated theoretical and practical debates, particularly regarding their relationship with religious values and systems of belief. Religions based on sacred texts often position myths as superstitious elements that should be abandoned, while anthropological perspectives recognize myths as cultural mechanisms that communicate moral values, regulate behaviour, and preserve collective identity. This study examines the pamali tradition maintained by the Muslim indigenous community of Kampung Naga as a representation of myth within a religious context. Employing a philosophical-ethnographic approach with descriptive analysis, this research aims to describe the forms and expressions of the pamali myth, analyze the construction of ethical intelligence embedded within pamali, and examine its function as an ethical norm in the religiosity of the Kampung Naga community. The findings reveal that pamali operates as an explicit cultural expression containing ethical messages related to personal conduct, social relationships, environmental responsibility, and spiritual awareness. The study identifies four interconnected dimensions of ethical intelligence, namely personal ethics, social ethics, natural ethics, and religious ethics, which collectively construct a moral framework guiding community life. These findings emphasize that indigenous myths can serve as meaningful ethical resources that connect cultural heritage, religious values, and sustainable social practices.

Abstract

Transformational leadership has become an essential approach for strengthening human resource capacity and improving school performance. However, qualitative evidence explaining how transformational leadership fosters the competency development of teachers and educational staff within Islamic senior secondary schools (madrasahs) remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the role of the principal’s transformational leadership in promoting competency development and improving school performance at MA Miftahul Falah, Bandung City. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving the principal, vice principals, teachers, educational staff, and other relevant stakeholders selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing supported by source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that transformational leadership is implemented through shared vision, inspirational motivation, open communication, empowerment, and support for continuous professional development, contributing to enhanced instructional quality, administrative effectiveness, and organizational performance. The study further reveals that religious values, a family-oriented organizational culture, and the intrinsic motivation of teachers and educational staff reinforce the effectiveness of transformational leadership. These findings contribute to educational leadership literature by proposing a context-sensitive perspective that integrates transformational leadership, competency development, and organizational culture to achieve sustainable school performance in madrasahs.

Abstract

Grassroots political party administrators interact directly with the public while carrying out organizational responsibilities in environments characterized by political pressure, public scrutiny, competing interests, and rapidly changing social dynamics. These conditions require not only technical and political competence but also psychological resources that enable administrators to remain confident and adaptive in fulfilling their roles. This study examined the relationship between resilience and self-confidence among political party administrators at the sub-district and urban-village levels in East Jakarta. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was employed using a census approach. Of the 200 administrators in the target population, data from 178 eligible respondents were analyzed. Resilience was measured using the 25-item Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25), whereas self-confidence was assessed using a 20-item Self-Confidence Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and path analysis, with social pressure and anxiety included as control variables. The results indicated that resilience was positively and significantly associated with self-confidence (β = 0.555, t = 10.669, p < 0.001) and represented the strongest predictor in the model. Social pressure and anxiety remained significant negative predictors, while the overall model explained 72.3% of the variance in self-confidence. These findings demonstrate that resilience is a critical psychological resource supporting administrators' confidence in performing organizational responsibilities under demanding political conditions. Political organizations should therefore complement technical, organizational, and political capacity-building initiatives with resilience development and psychological support programs to strengthen the effectiveness of grassroots administrators.

Abstract

This study aims to identify, map, and describe the psychosocial factors associated with online gaming addiction tendencies among Generation Z in Surabaya from a Communication Science perspective. The study focuses on how psychological needs and social relationships interact with technological characteristics in shaping patterns of excessive online gaming. An empirical descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving eight Generation Z informants aged 14–24 years who were selected through purposive sampling based on indicators of problematic digital-media use. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings identified three psychological factors, namely emotional regulation and escapism, self-expression in virtual spaces, and instant gratification through game-based reward systems, as well as three social factors consisting of group conformity and mabar culture, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and virtual community bonding. Emotional regulation and escapism appeared among all eight informants, while social factors were dominant among five informants compared with three whose dominant patterns were psychological. The findings indicate that online gaming addiction tendencies are not solely associated with individual self-control but emerge through the interaction between psychological needs, peer relationships, virtual belonging, and technological features that sustain player engagement. The study contributes to Communication Science by integrating Uses and Gratifications, Technological Determinism, and virtual communication perspectives to explain the psychosocial dynamics underlying problematic online gaming among Generation Z.

Abstract

This study examines parent–child communication patterns in supervising gadget use among children aged 7–9 years in Sidoarjo Regency. A descriptive qualitative design was employed involving six parents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and documentation and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that parental supervision is predominantly characterized by open, dialogic, and two-way communication. Parents combine explanations, advice, negotiation, time restrictions, content control, and consequences to guide children’s gadget use. Conversation orientation appears relatively dominant because children are generally allowed to express opinions, objections, and experiences, while conformity orientation remains visible through parental authority and rule enforcement. Active mediation, restrictive mediation, and co-use operate simultaneously and are adapted to family circumstances. Consistent communication and understandable explanations also support children’s acceptance of digital boundaries and emerging self-regulation. However, peer influence, parental fatigue, and limited time can reduce supervisory consistency. Overall, effective gadget supervision depends on balancing parental authority with responsive communication, clear boundaries, and sustained involvement in children’s digital activities. This balance promotes responsible technology use while preserving supportive family relationships overall.
