Abstract

This study examined how critical thinking and digital literacy contribute to civic engagement among pre-service primary school teachers in a Civic Education course using Project-Based Civic Learning (PjBCL) at an Indonesian university. Using a quantitative correlational design, data from 126 students were analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling. Pre-post gains were large for critical thinking (d = 1.116), digital literacy (d = 1.418) and civic engagement (d = 1.726). The two competencies operated through different mechanisms. Critical thinking partially mediated the effect of PjBCL on civic engagement (indirect effect = 0.038; 95% CI [0.012, 0.072]), whereas digital literacy did not. Although digital literacy was the strongest direct predictor of civic engagement (β = 0.350; f² = 0.124), its link with PjBCL was negligible (β = 0.004; Q² = 0.001), suggesting students develop it mainly through informal online engagement rather than the curriculum. Building on dual-process theory, the study proposes Digitally Scaffolded Civic Learning (DSCL), which embeds digital literacy in each stage of project-based civic instruction, offering implications for curriculum planners in Indonesian civic education.

Abstract

This study examines the social construction and habituation of Indonesian national identity (ke-Indonesia-an) among early adolescents in two contrasting environments: Semarang, Indonesia, and Sabah, Malaysia. Using a comparative ethnographic design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentary analysis involving 22 participants: 10 students (aged 13–15), 8 parents or guardians, and 4 teachers across three field sites: junior secondary schools in Semarang, Community Learning Centers (CLC) in Sabah, and non-CLC migrant households in Sabah. The analysis integrates Berger and Luckmann's (1966) social constructionism, Bourdieu's (1990) habitus and field theory, and Sayad's (1999) transnational habitus framework. Findings reveal that in Semarang, ke-Indonesia-an is reinforced through coherent institutional mechanisms, producing what Billig (1995) terms “banal nationalism.” In contrast, migrant children in Sabah navigate a fragmented identity process shaped by assimilation pressures, legal precarity, and social stigma, yet sustain “performative nationalism” through CLC education, familial oral histories, and digital media. A critical finding is that family habitus, classified as either aspirational or survival-oriented, serves as the decisive mediating mechanism in the internalisation of national values. The role of public history transmission, particularly through CLC history instruction by Guru Bina and parental oral narratives, emerges as a significant yet undertheorised mechanism in diaspora identity formation. The study contributes to transnational citizenship education, sociology of education, and public history scholarship by demonstrating that national identity formation cannot be reduced to formal schooling alone, and that policy must attend to the family as the primary site of historical memory transmission in transnational contexts.

Abstract

This article reframes the ultimum remedium principle in Indonesian criminal tax law as a problem of fiscal citizenship and Pancasila-based public authority. It asks when criminal enforcement is legitimate, rather than presuming that administrative enforcement is always preferable. The study employs statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. It analyses the 1945 Constitution; Articles 8, 12, 13, 22, 38, 39, 39A, 40, 43A, 44, 44A, 44B, and 44C of the Law on General Provisions and Tax Procedures (KUP Law); and three purposively selected lines of decisions: Supreme Court Decision No. 2239 K/Pid.Sus/2012, Supreme Court Decision No. 1149 K/Pid/2022, and District Court of Boyolali Decision No. 6/Pid.Sus/2023/PN Byl as upheld through Supreme Court Decision No. 4878 K/Pid.Sus/2023. Fiscal citizenship is operationalised through civic trust, civic duty, civic equality, and civic participation, while the Pancasila principles are translated into criteria of integrity, proportionality, legitimacy, accountability, and distributive fairness. The analysis finds that Articles 13 and 40 of KUP Law regulate different legal clocks—administrative assessment and criminal prosecution—and should not be treated as conflicting norms. The cases demonstrate that criminal sanctions can legitimately operate as a last-resort escalation for organised falsification, intentional non-remittance, repeated conduct, or serious fiscal harm. Criminalisation becomes disproportionate when culpability is low, correction and recovery remain effective, or authorities fail to justify why less restrictive measures are inadequate. The article proposes a graduated enforcement test that combines fiscal recovery with reasoned, reviewable, and equality-sensitive criminalisation.

Abstract

This study examines the Kenduri Sko tradition of the Kerinci people in Jambi as a form of counter-hegemony against radical ideologies, drawing on an ethnographic qualitative approach conducted in Tarutung Village through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation with traditional leaders, religious figures, and community members. Kenduri Sko, a ceremonial practice embodying cooperation, solidarity, tolerance, and spirituality, serves as a medium for transmitting cultural values across generations. Through collective participation, traditional leaders, religious figures, and community elders integrate messages of peace, deliberation, and anti-violence into ritual activities, reinforcing social cohesion and early detection of deviant behaviours. Analysis of the Tarutung Village Customary Book, particularly Law Nan 12, reveals codified norms opposing acts of extremism, reflecting the harmony of custom and religion as tools of resistance. The findings indicate that Kenduri Sko strengthens communal resilience, fosters critical awareness, and safeguards local identity against ideological infiltration. Moreover, its principles can be integrated into higher education curricula—such as Pancasila and Civic Education—to promote inclusive, moderate, and nationally oriented character formation. By positioning local wisdom as both a cultural preservation strategy and a pedagogical resource, this research underscores the role of indigenous traditions in fostering social harmony and countering radicalisation.

Abstract

This study critically examines deliberative democracy within school-based climate action, contending that student agency and participation in climate citizenship education are shaped by communicative processes rather than solely by individual capability. While environmental education increasingly addresses climate change, instrumental and technocratic approaches continue to restrict authentic democratic engagement. Employing a critical ethnographic methodology informed by Habermasian communicative action and Freirean critical pedagogy, data were collected from a school-based climate action programme involving teachers, students, and external facilitators. The findings indicate that deliberative processes are shaped by communicative, instrumental, and strategic rationalities, resulting in asymmetrical negotiation, partial compromise, and contingent consensus. Although dialogic spaces foster student participation and critical reflection, these opportunities are constrained by institutional structures, cultural norms, and power relations. The study concludes that student agency is context-dependent and relational, emerging from communicative processes. It recommends repositioning climate education as a dialogic and participatory space to more effectively support democratic engagement.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of community-based schools in enhancing access to quality education in rural Nigeria and South Africa. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population comprised individuals actively involved with community-based schools in selected rural communities across both countries. A total sample of 300 respondents (150 from Nigeria and 150 from South Africa) was selected using a multi-stage sampling technique involving purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling methods. Data were collected using a structured instrument titled Community-Based Schools Educational Access and Quality Questionnaire (CBSEAQ). The instrument’s validity was established through expert review for content and face validity, while its reliability was confirmed through a pilot test, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.82. Trained research assistants administered the questionnaire and ensured informed consent and respondent anonymity. The researchers analysed the data using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics and inferential tests such as t-tests and chi-square tests to compare responses between countries. The findings revealed that community-based schools improve access to quality education, reduce educational disparities, and enhance school effectiveness through active community participation. However, inadequate infrastructure and weak policy implementation continue to limit access to education, while Nigeria shows greater access to education through community-based schools than South Africa because of stronger community involvement. The study recommended strengthening the implementation of community-based education policies through adequate funding, effective monitoring, and improved rural infrastructure. It also emphasises promoting community participation in school governance, continuous teacher development, regular evaluation, and enhanced collaboration between Nigeria and South Africa to share best practices and improve educational access and quality.

Abstract

As public services move onto digital platforms, civic education must prepare citizens not only to use technology responsibly but also to understand, claim, and contest the services through which their rights are realised. This article develops a conceptual and methodological framework that reframes digital administrative burden in Indonesia as a problem of citizenship formation and substantive rights. For citizens facing poverty, disability, old age, rural remoteness, or limited literacy, opaque digital procedures do more than create technical difficulty; they erode civic agency. Drawing on administrative burden theory, Marshall's citizenship rights, Sen's capability approach, and digital citizenship scholarship, the article proposes a model linking learning, compliance, and psychological costs to perceived access, service justice, and civic confidence. It situates this model within Indonesian civic education through Pancasila's principle of social justice and outlines a fieldwork protocol for future empirical testing. The article argues that digital access is never merely administrative: it is where citizens learn whether the state recognises them as equal, rights-bearing members of a democratic community.

Abstract

Pancasila has predominantly been interpreted within a rational-normative philosophical tradition that emphasises conceptual coherence, logical consistency, and systematic relationships among its five principles. While this approach has contributed significantly to the development of Pancasila philosophy, it remains limited in explaining how Pancasila functions as a living reality within Indonesian society. This study proposes an alternative interpretation by examining Pancasila through Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of symbolic forms. Employing a qualitative philosophical approach, the research applies a conceptual adequacy test combined with interpretative conceptual analysis to evaluate the extent to which Pancasila fulfils the characteristics of a symbolic system. The analysis reconstructs five conceptual criteria derived from Cassirer’s theory—mediating function, meaning construction, collective dimension, experiential orientation, and independence from empirical verification—and systematically maps them onto the structure and functions of Pancasila. The findings demonstrate that each principle  (sila) operates not merely as a normative proposition but as a symbolic form that mediates collective meaning, shapes civic identity, provides ethical and political orientation, and legitimises Indonesia’s socio-political order. Furthermore, the study argues that interpreting Pancasila as a symbolic system offers an alternative epistemological framework that complements the dominant rational-formal tradition by explaining its enduring relevance through symbolic mediation rather than solely through logical coherence. This reinterpretation expands contemporary Pancasila studies by connecting them with philosophy of culture, symbolic philosophy, and interpretative approaches to political thought, while providing broader implications for Pancasila education, civic education, and future philosophical research.

Abstract

Recurring forest and land fires and persistent solid waste mismanagement in Jambi Province point to a gap between environmental knowledge and ecological practice among Indonesian secondary students. This study addresses that gap by developing and testing an Integrated Curriculum and Eco-School Model to strengthen Ecological Citizenship in a boarding school setting. Employing a Research and Development design structured around the ADDIE framework, the study was conducted at SMAN Titian Teras Jambi, a full boarding senior high school. Data were gathered through a student profile questionnaire administered to 120 Year 10 and 11 students, focus group discussions with education experts, and daily behavioural observations in classrooms and dormitories. The resulting model embeds Ecological Citizenship indicators within the learning outcomes of Pancasila Education, Biology, and Economics, and introduces an Eco Block habituation system into dormitory routines, linking instruction to boarding life. Validation by three experts in curriculum design, ecopedagogy, and boarding management produced an average feasibility score of 88.57%. Pre-test and post-test scores, analysed using a paired-sample t-test and N-gain across ecological knowledge, attitude, eco-responsibility, and practice, showed that Ecological Citizenship rose from a mean of 62.45 to 84.10 after eight weeks (p < 0.001), with an average N-gain of 0.58. Corresponding gains were recorded in waste sorting (32.5%), resource-saving behaviour (28.4%), and participation in ecological activities (35.1%). These findings demonstrate that integrating curriculum with eco-school habituation in a boarding environment can translate environmental awareness into sustained ecological practice, offering a transferable model for citizenship education linking formal learning with institutional life.

Abstract

Citizenship and the Ethics of Care: Feminist Considerations on Justice, Morality and Politics, written by Selma Sevenhuijsen, examines how the ethics of care can enrich contemporary understandings of democracy, citizenship, and public policy. The book critiques the limits of liberal political theory, which rests on the assumption of rational, autonomous individuals and therefore struggles to explain the interdependence of human relationships. Sevenhuijsen does not reject liberalism. She positions care as a normative dimension that complements justice and broadens its meaning, so that justice is understood as a moral practice sensitive to social context and human vulnerability. The book also shifts citizenship from a legal status to a relational ethical practice grounded in responsibility and respect for human dignity, while rejecting the essentialist view that care belongs to women by nature. Its practical value emerges in discussions of family law, child custody, health care, and the welfare state, where care serves as a standard for evaluating public policy. The book has limits: it offers little guidance on institutional implementation, and its empirical illustrations come mostly from European welfare states. Even so, it offers a normative framework that remains relevant for the Indonesian context, especially for reflecting on social protection, gender equality, child protection, and governance oriented toward social justice and human dignity.
