The study employed multistage sampling techniques. Data were collected using a researcher-designed questionnaire, Stakeholders’ Perception of Civic Education Practices in Upper Basic Schools Questionnaire (SPCEPSQ), consisting of two sections: demographic information and 15 items assessing perceptions of civic education and its impact on student engagement. Findings of the study revealed among others that; majority of teachers in Kwara agree that Civic Education enhances student engagement, highlighting its perceived value in fostering civic responsibility and participation; parents believed that the subject promotes responsibility and active participation, administrators affirm that it fosters discipline and social awareness. The study concludes that, there is urgent need for multi-level reforms aimed at strengthening the implementation of Civic Education such as specialized teacher training, adoption of learner-centered pedagogies, curriculum modernization, and stronger policy frameworks backed by sufficient resources and political will

Abstract

This study adopted the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model with a cooperative approach in order to enhance student participation and learning achievement. The research was conducted at SMKN 1 Patumbak, involving all 35 students from class XI AKL 1. The method employed was Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was structured into two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection phases. Data were collected using student learning activity observation sheets and learning outcome test instruments. The research findings revealed that the application of the cooperative-based PjBL model was able to encourage students to keep progressing over time. This model proved effective, as reflected in the surge of learning activity percentage from 65% in the first cycle to 88% in the second cycle. Student learning outcomes also showed considerable improvement, marked by the pre-test average score of 68.2 which rose to 75.8 in the first cycle, then increased again to 86.7 in the second cycle. Furthermore, classical learning completeness also experienced a jump from 34% to reaching 91%.

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the effectiveness of using prehistoric cave painting animation videos as a learning medium in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills, active engagement, and understanding of cultural context in art education at the secondary school level. The study employed a mixed-method approach involving 20 students who were purposively selected as participants. Data were collected through observations, written tests, and in-depth interviews to obtain a comprehensive understanding of both the learning process and outcomes. The analysis was conducted using the Conceptual Framework (artist, artwork, world, and audience), The Four Frames (subjectivity, cultural, structural, and postmodern), and Cognitive Load Theory to understand the dynamics of students’ cognitive processes. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ analytical writing skills, classroom engagement, and understanding of cultural values embedded in artworks. In addition, students demonstrated stronger critical reflection and a high level of cognitive retention. These findings confirm that animation-based learning is effective not only as a visual medium but also as an integrative pedagogical approach.

Abstract

This article reviews the role of political ecology of young people in Cerekang Village who are part of the Cerekang Indigenous people. The Cerekang Indigenous People are an area that lives around the Cerekang river and Pismiaoni Hill, Manurung Luwu Village, East South Sulawesi. The Cerekang youth group that joined the Pejuang Muda Wija To Cerekang (PMWTC) has been contesting in its role in protecting the environment and customary territories from the destruction of the mining industry and the conversion of land into ponds within the framework of political ecology. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with PMWTC youth informants, heads of customary institutions, and local communities selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis is carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. This article finds that the contestation of the Cerekang youth group is classified as a political ecological role that is consciously actively involved in organizing and maintaining customary forest areas in the form of spatial emancipation, transformative participation, and ecological schools. In terms of novelty, this research provides a framework for understanding the political role of indigenous youth based on environmental awareness. Thus, political ecology with a direct demonstration of traditional values that position themselves as the vanguard of the guardian of customary forest areas from the threat of massive and extractive environmental damage.

Abstract

Internal Quality Audit (AMI) is critical for Indonesian higher-education accreditation, yet study programs still score 60+ indicators manually by cross-referencing a 200-page Self-Evaluation Report (LED) and a 50-sheet Study Program Performance Report (LKPS), a process that takes 3–5 days per program and varies between assessors. This study develops an automated quality-assessment agent that ingests both documents and benchmarks three open-weight Large Language Models, Qwen 3.5 35B, DeepSeek-R1 32B, and Mistral-Small 3.2 24B, on 19 LAM-Teknik indicators sampled across all nine accreditation criteria (9 qualitative, 6 quantitative, 4 composite). The reference scores are taken from the certified human assessor's official record produced during the program's 2024 post-audit cycle. The results show that Qwen 3.5 attains the lowest MAE (0.605) and RMSE (0.769) with 100% within ±1 accuracy and 32.5 s per indicator; DeepSeek-R1 is the most cautious but the slowest (MAE 1.395; 79.9 s) and collapses on quantitative items (MAE 2.17); Mistral is the fastest (13.6 s).

Abstract

Homeschooling in Indonesia has developed from a marginal family-based practice into a legally recognized alternative pathway within the national education system. Yet research on its legality, pedagogy, digital mediation, and child development remains dispersed across different disciplines. Objective: This article synthesizes Indonesian homeschooling scholarship through a meta-narrative systematic review to identify the main research traditions, their assumptions, and their implications for policy and practice. Methods: Following RAMESES-oriented principles, literature published between 2014 and 2024 was searched in Google Scholar Indonesia, Garuda, SINTA, and related indexed sources using Indonesian and English keywords. Twelve Indonesia-focused studies were selected and mapped by focus, method, narrative tradition, and key findings. Findings: Three dominant narratives emerged: legal-administrative studies emphasize recognition, equivalence examinations, and PKBM procedures; socio-digital studies highlight ICT-supported autonomous learning and learning hubs; and psychological-developmental studies foreground flexibility, parental roles, agency, and well-being. Conclusion: Homeschooling offers adaptive learning but requires assessment models that protect autonomy while ensuring accountable quality.
