Unveiling the Role of Risk-Taking Ability in Mediating the Influence of Entrepreneurship Education, Digital Financial Literacy, and Financial Self-Efficacy on Students’ Courage to Start a Business
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effects of Entrepreneurship Education, Digital Financial Literacy, and Financial Self-Efficacy on Students’ Courage to Start a Business, with Risk-Taking Ability as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach with a survey design was employed, with 100 university students in Banyumas Regency selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through a structured online questionnaire and analyzed using SEM-PLS with a bootstrapping procedure. The results indicate that Entrepreneurship Education, Digital Financial Literacy, and Financial Self-Efficacy have positive and significant effects on Risk-Taking Ability. Furthermore, Risk-Taking Ability has a positive and significant effect on Students’ Courage to Start a Business. In addition, Risk-Taking Ability is proven to positively and significantly mediate the effects of the three independent variables on students’ entrepreneurial courage. These findings suggest that students’ entrepreneurial courage is largely determined by their ability to assess risks and opportunities and to make decisions under uncertainty. This study contributes theoretically by uniquely integrating financial aspects and psychological aspects within a single framework grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, Social Cognitive Theory, and Behavioral Finance Theory. By linking students’ digital financial capability with their risk-taking ability, the model explains how financial knowledge strengthens psychological readiness in entrepreneurial decision-making. The findings also provide practical implications for higher education institutions and policymakers in designing entrepreneurship programs that simultaneously develop digital financial competence and risk-taking capacity.

Leveraging Teacher Development Program through Organizational Support to Foster Teacher’s Thriving at Work
type: item
description: This study aims to empirically examine the effect of a teacher development program on educators’ psychological well-being, which is dichotomously conceptualized through the variables of thriving at work and emotional exhaustion. This study employed a quantitative method analysis. A total of 225 teachers who participated in the Teachers’ Transformation Program in Central Java Province, Indonesia, were asked to complete the survey developed using a purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The teacher’s development program is significantly and positively associated with psychological meaningfulness and thriving at work. In contrast, the efficacy of the teacher’s development program on role overload and psychological exhaustion is not statistically supported. In addition, perceived organizational support significantly moderates the effect of teachers’ development program on role overload and emotional exhaustion, while the moderating effect of school support on the relationship between teachers’ development program, psychological meaningfulness, and thriving at work is not significantly supported. This study contributes to the literature on teacher professional development, particularly in how the national teacher development program could potentially influence teachers' wellbeing (both positively and negatively). Policy makers should not only focus on improving competencies but also on managing teachers’ workload to prevent burnout in implementing the teacher development program.

From Design to Classroom: Developing a Generative-AI Enhanced Gamified Project-Based Civic Learning Framework
type: item
description: This study aims to developed and preliminarily evaluated a Generative-AI-supported gamified Project-Based Civic Learning (GPBL-Civ) framework to strengthen student engagement and creative performance. This study employed a research and development method using the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation), The study involved undergraduate Civic Education students and aimed to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a gamified project-based civic learning strategy supported by generative AI. Data were collected using expert validation instruments and student assessment tools. Feasibility was evaluated by four experts across strategy and content dimensions using Likert-scale questionnaires aligned with course learning outcomes. Effectiveness was examined through a single-group pretest–posttest design in one Civic Education class. Student engagement was measured using a validated engagement scale, while creativity was assessed using rubric-based evaluations of student projects. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics and normalized gain (N-gain) to determine improvements in engagement and creativity. The results indicate that the Generative-AI-assisted gamified Project-Based Civic Learning framework was rated “feasible” to “very feasible” by expert validators assessing both strategy and content. Classroom try-out results showed moderate improvements in student engagement (average N-gain = 0.66) across behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. Student creativity also demonstrated meaningful gains (average N-gain = 0.68), as reflected in rubric-based assessments of originality, elaboration, and effectiveness. Overall, the findings suggest that the developed framework has strong potential to enhance student participation and improve the quality of project outcomes in Civic Education courses. The instructional package may serve as a practical classroom supplement for university instructors implementing project-based civic…

ESP-Based English Learning Model for Enhancing Financial Competence among Accounting Students: A Design-Based Research Study
type: item
description: This study aims to design, implement, and evaluate English learning models based on English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to enhance the competencies of finance students in accounting. A Design-Based Research (DBR) approach was employed to ensure the relevance and adaptability of the model through iterative refinement based on field feedback. Analysis of interviews and observations, conducted using thematic analysis, revealed that students experienced difficulties in understanding English terminology in finance, particularly in the contexts of reports, auditing, budgeting, and general financial communication. The developed learning model emphasizes module-based analysis of reports, financial statements, budget preparation, and audit scenarios, incorporating project-based activities that integrate professional skills, language, and contextual understanding. The model was implemented over one semester with 120 students from the Accounting Study Programs of three universities in East Java—Universitas Kahuripan Kediri, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional "Veteran" Surabaya, and Universitas Islam Malang—selected purposively to represent diverse academic and cultural learning contexts. Results indicate a significant improvement in students’ understanding of terminology, financial literacy, communication skills, and English-speaking ability. The statistical analysis showed a highly significant p-value (< .001) and a large effect size (d = 1.21), providing strong empirical evidence that the ESP-Accounting model effectively enhances integrated linguistic and financial competencies. This model can be adapted by other institutions to strengthen collaboration between lecturers and accounting professionals. Research in this area contributes to the advancement of language learning in educational and vocational contexts and enhances graduates’ readiness for the global workforce.

Digitalizing Teaching At The Right Level (TARL): An Online Assessment System for Mapping Literacy Competencies in Primary Education
type: item
description: This study aims to develop and validate ASI ASLI (Aplikasi Sistem Asesmen Literasi), an online-based literacy assessment and decision-support system designed to map elementary school students’ reading competencies and support differentiated instruction aligned with the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) framework. This study employed a research and development (R&D) approach adapted from Borg and Gall, with the development process conducted up to the main field testing stage through large-scale implementation in primary schools in Central Lombok Regency. A total of 4,058 students in Grades III–V participated, selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling strategy across urban, coastal, and rural contexts. Data were collected through literacy assessments embedded in the ASI ASLI system, expert validation instruments, teacher response questionnaires, and classroom observations, then analyzed using a mixed-methods approach. Findings indicate that ASI ASLI demonstrates strong technical feasibility, usability, and instructional relevance. Competency mapping revealed gradual improvement across grade levels; however, a substantial proportion of students remained at the Special Intervention and Basic levels, with pronounced disparities in rural areas. These findings highlight the urgent need for differentiated, data-informed instructional interventions and targeted policy support to address foundational literacy gaps.

Teacher Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Skills (TPCK-S) and Student Cognitive Agency: Determinants of Deep Learning Outcomes in Immersive Geometry Instruction
type: item
description: This study aims to investigates the determinants of student success in hologram-enhanced geometry classrooms by examining the mediating role of teachers' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Skills (TPCK-S). Employing a Sequential Explanatory Mixed-Methods Design, this research analyzed data from 12 secondary mathematics teachers (purposively sampled) and 248 Grade 8 students from four public schools implementing the national 'Kurikulum Merdeka' in a provincial capital city in Indonesia. Quantitative analysis utilizing Spearman’s rank-order correlation revealed a robust positive revealed a robust positive relationship (r = 0.78, p = 0.002) between teacher performative skills and student deep learning achievement. To explain this statistical link, a qualitative phase involving classroom observations and semi-structured interviews was conducted with four teachers selected through extreme case sampling. The findings illuminate a "Flywheel Mechanism," demonstrating that high-TPCK-S teachers act as "Pedagogical Orchestrators" who effectively transfer "Cognitive Agency" to students. This agency characterized by student-led hypothesis testing and spatial reasoning is identified as the primary driver of deep conceptual understanding. Conversely, low TPCK-S results in passive student observation. These results suggest that educational development must shift focus from mere technology procurement to the cultivation of teachers' orchestration skills.

Cognitive–Cultural Balance in Designing Culture-Based HOTS Tasks: Evidence from Prospective Mathematics Teachers
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate how prospective mathematics teachers integrate cognitive and cultural dimensions in designing culture-based Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) tasks. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through task analysis, observation, and in-depth interviews. Data analysis in this study employed thematic analysis using a hybrid inductive–deductive approach. The study involved seventh-semester Mathematics Education students who had completed core pedagogical and professional courses as well as teaching practicum and were therefore considered ready as prospective teachers. Their task designs were analyzed using the Cognitive Demand and Cultural Value Framework, resulting in three classifications: cognitive dominance, cultural dominance, and cognitive–cultural balance, with one participant representing each category. Participants with cognitive dominance demonstrated strong mathematical reasoning and structured problem design but tended to disregard cultural authenticity and traditional norms. Conversely, culturally dominant participants displayed rich cultural sensitivity yet neglected mathematical coherence and contextual logic. Only participants achieving cognitive–cultural balance successfully integrated analytical rigor with cultural meaning, producing problems that were both mathematically valid and culturally grounded. These findings highlight that cognitive and cultural dimension are complementary rather than opposing forces. The study concludes that developing dual cognitive and cultural literacy is essential for prospective mathematics teachers to design transformative learning experiences that connect logical reasoning with cultural understanding, underscoring the need for teacher education institutions (LPTK) to integrate this balance explicitly into curriculum design to better prepare future teachers.

Non-Labeling Diagnostic Assessment from a Human Dignity Perspective: Implications for Students’ Academic and Character Development
type: item
description: This study aims to analyse how the results of the Middle Years Information System (MidYIS) initial assessment can be interpreted and utilised pedagogically as a non-labelling assessment to support students’ academic and character development. A descriptive quantitative approach was used in this study, with a cross-sectional design, involving all 10th-grade students (n=35) at a private Christian high school in an urban Indonesian context as the sample, using a total sampling technique. Data were obtained from MidYIS Standard Age Scores (mean = 100, SD = 15) across six cognitive domains. The data analysis techniques in this study employed descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests. The findings reveal significant cross-domain variation. Mathematics and Non-Verbal Reasoning demonstrate strong performance, with 45.7% of students in the Well Above to Far Above categories. In comparison, Perceptual Speed and Accuracy is the strongest domain (65.7% Above Average or higher). In contrast, Vocabulary shows greater dispersion, with 34.3% in the Below to Far Below categories. The Overall Ability mean (≈105.67) is slightly above the international benchmark, yet substantial intra-individual differences are evident, including cases of high mathematical ability alongside lower verbal performance. These results demonstrate that cognitive profiles are multidimensional and that a single ability label constitutes a scientific fallacy. MidYIS should therefore function as a reflective tool for differentiated learning rather than a predictive or labelling instrument, supporting educational practices grounded in assessment for learning and respect for human dignity.

Transcending Institutional Origins: The Homogeneity of Multidimensional Moderate Character Among Prospective Elementary Teachers
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of "Institutional Transcendence" by examining whether institutional origins (public vs. private schools) influence the multidimensional moderate character of prospective elementary teachers. Employing a comparative quantitative approach combined with structural modeling, data were elicited from 76 second-semester students of the Elementary School Teacher Education program. The results of a One-Way ANOVA demonstrate no statistically significant disparity in moderate character levels based on institutional origins (F=0.071, p=0.791 > 0.05). Furthermore, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) confirms the structural integrity of the multidimensional model (R2 = 0.196), identifying Cultural Adaptability and Conflict Resolution as the most significant drivers of moderation. These findings suggest that the higher education environment acts as a potent "Equalizer," effectively homogenizing values through a shared academic ecosystem. The study concludes that while the "Equalizer" effect successfully aligns cognitive and affective dispositions, a "Knowing to Action Gap" persists, necessitating a pedagogical shift toward experiential "Moral Action" to transform theoretical moderation into decisive civic courage.

Transforming Economics Learning in the AI Era: An Analysis of Senior High School Students’ Acceptance of Artificial Intelligence through the UTAUT Framework
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students’ acceptance of AI use in Economics learning by applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. This research employed an explanatory quantitative method with Total sampling, involving 170 students from SMA Negeri 3 Nganjuk, Nganjuk Regency, as respondents. The research instrument consisted of a five-point Likert scale questionnaire measuring six main UTAUT constructs. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that Social Influence is the most dominant variable with a significant effect on Behavioral Intention (β = 0.300; p = 0.001), while Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy did not show significant effects. Additionally, Facilitating Conditions and Behavioral Intention significantly affect Use Behavior. These results show that the UTAUT model is relevant for explaining AI technology acceptance in Economics learning. The study concludes that Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, and prior Experience are the dominant determinants of AI acceptance in this context, while Performance Expectancy (β = 0.117; p = 0.204) and Effort Expectancy (β = 0.179; p = 0.053) did not reach statistical significance, findings consistent with Table 6. These results underscore the necessity for educational institutions to prioritize adequate digital infrastructure, foster supportive social environments, and provide progressive exposure to AI technologies to enhance successful implementation in Economics education.

description: This study aims to develop and validate a higher-order organizational commitment instrument integrating spiritual dimensions and Islamic educational values, grounded in the three-dimensional model proposed by John P. Meyer and Natalie J. Allen (Affective, Continuance, and Normative Commitment), with the addition of a spiritual-value dimension reflecting Islamic educational principles. A quantitative research design was employed involving 100 lecturers at Universitas Pamulang selected through simple random sampling. The initial instrument consisted of 24 items proportionally distributed across three dimensions, with a balanced composition of favorable and unfavorable statements. Data were analyzed using Second-Order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with SmartPLS 4, alongside Content Validity Analysis (CVA) to ensure item relevance and representativeness. The findings indicate that the higher-order construct demonstrated satisfactory convergent validity, with factor loadings exceeding 0.50 and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values above 0.50 across dimensions. Affective Commitment demonstrated the strongest contribution to the higher-order construct, followed by Continuance Commitment and Normative Commitment. Reliability analysis confirmed strong internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alpha and Composite Reliability exceeding recommended thresholds. The developed instrument is empirically valid and reliable for assessing organizational commitment among lecturers in value-based higher education settings and contributes to the advancement of psychometric measurement by integrating organizational theory with spiritual and Islamic educational values.

Evaluation of the Implementation of the Christian Religious Education Curriculum Using the CIPP Model: Alignment with the Indonesian Qualifications Framework and Outcome-Based Education
type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Christian Religious Education Study Program curriculum, based on the Indonesian Qualifications Framework (IQF) and an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, at STAK Terpadu PESAT Salatiga using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. The study employed a quantitative evaluative approach involving 13 lecturers and 86 students as respondents. Data were collected using a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through Welch’s t-test. The results showed that all CIPP components were categorized as good. The context and input aspects reflected adequate planning and resource availability. However, the process and product components were identified as suboptimal due to insufficient alignment between semester learning plans, active learning strategies, authentic assessment practices, and graduate learning outcomes, and evidence of competency attainment did not demonstrate strong performance outcomes. Inferential analysis showed that there were no significant differences in perceptions between lecturers and students regarding the process (p = 0.602) and product (p = 0.980), with very small effect sizes. These findings indicate perceptual convergence between lecturers and students while highlighting the need to enhance the quality of Outcome-Based Learning and Teaching (OBLT) and Outcome-Based Assessment and Evaluation (OBAE) practices. The findings imply that curriculum development within the Christian Religious Education Study Program should prioritize authentic assessment, strengthen lecturers’ pedagogical competencies, and systematically integrate cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions within a holistic and sustainable Outcome-Based Education (OBE) framework.

Personalization of Adaptive Learning Modules: Differential Impact Analysis Based on Students' Prior Knowledge Profiles and Self-Regulated Learning Levels
type: item
description: This study aims to identify student learner profiles based on a combination of prior knowledge and Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) levels and to analyze the differential impact of an adaptive learning module on knowledge and SRL improvement in each profile. Using a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, 92 undergraduate physics education students were selected through purposive sampling. K-Means cluster analysis was applied to form learner profiles, followed by a six-week pre–post intervention and qualitative interviews. The results identified three learner profiles (Proficient-Autonomous Learner, Resilient-Developing Learner, and Proficient-Fragile Achiever). The result showed that the adaptive module significantly improved Results showed significant knowledge gains across profiles, while SRL improvements differed significantly. The Proficient–Fragile Achiever group demonstrated the largest SRL gain (p < .001; large effect size, d > 0.80), associated with more frequent scaffolding support. In conclusion, the effectiveness of adaptive modules is highly dependent on learner profiles, with the most significant benefits in their ability to provide external support for building self-regulation skills. These findings imply that learning technology design should incorporate SRL as a key variable for personalization, and institutions can utilize these platforms as intervention tools for students with weak learning independence.

Designing Aceh Local History Teaching Materials to Strengthen Social Cohesion: A Qualitative Study
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the design process of Acehnese local history teaching materials oriented toward strengthening students’ social cohesion. The research employed a qualitative case study approach involving six social studies teachers, twelve students, and two curriculum developers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of curriculum documents and teaching materials. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that local history learning in Aceh remains dominated by elite-centered narratives and does not adequately represent the roles of cross-ethnic and cross-class actors in shaping social cohesion. Empirical evidence shows that integrating alternative sources—such as local archives, oral histories, and multi-perspective case studies—broadens students’ understanding of social cohesion as a historically constructed process formed through interaction and social negotiation rather than as a given condition. These findings underscore that strengthening social cohesion through history education requires a shift from single narratives toward contextual and inclusive instructional design. However, challenges remain in the availability of contextual teaching resources and pedagogical strategies. Overall, the study highlights the importance of systematically designing local history teaching materials aligned with social cohesion theory to enhance the role of history education in fostering national character.

Integrating Emotional Intelligence into Midwifery Education: A Scoping Review of Curriculum Innovations
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and midwifery service quality and its implications for higher education curricula. A scoping review method was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and aligned with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Articles were retrieved from four databases (Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar) and limited to publications between 2020 and 2025. The data were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. The findings consistently demonstrate that EI is positively associated with academic achievement, clinical performance, decision-making, and quality of care, and in several studies functions as a predictor of professional outcomes. Educational strategies such as simulation-based learning, scenario-based approaches, and structured reflective practice were reported to enhance self-awareness, emotional regulation, and professional confidence. The evidence suggests that EI is most effective when integrated longitudinally and embedded within clinical education rather than delivered solely as a stand-alone subject. Systematic integration of EI within midwifery curricula represents a strategic pathway to strengthening professional competence, patient safety, and maternal-neonatal care quality.

title: Documenting Nature, Constructing Meaning: A Qualitative Case Study of Inquiry-Based Science Learning Integrated with Video-Based Environmental Observation to Foster Critical Thinking in Elementary Education
description: This study aims to explore how inquiry-based elementary science learning integrated with video-based environmental observation supports the development of students’ critical thinking. A qualitative case study design was employed involving fifth-grade students at a public elementary school located in the Lake Tondano area of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The learning intervention was structured as a project in which students documented lake ecosystem observations through short videos and presented their findings during classroom discussions. Data were collected from student-produced videos, classroom observations, group interviews with students, teacher interviews, and researchers’ field notes. The data were analyzed using an inductive thematic approach to identify patterns of critical thinking and students’ processes of scientific meaning-making. The findings reveal that inquiry-based video projects enabled students to develop a more concrete and contextual understanding of ecosystems through direct observation, interpretation of local environmental conditions, and construction of causal explanations grounded in visual evidence.

An Integrative Model of Mathematical Well-Being and Anxiety Reduction (I-WARM): Evidence from Teachers’ and Students’ Perspectives
type: item
description: This study aims to develop an Integrative Model of Mathematical Well-Being and Anxiety Reduction (I-WARM) based on the perspectives of secondary school teachers and students in Kupang City, Indonesia. A mixed-methods sequential exploratory design was employed, involving 211 students and 32 mathematics teachers. Quantitative data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires to measure levels of mathematical well-being and mathematics anxiety, while qualitative data explored pedagogical practices and classroom environments that support students’ well-being. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the level of each variable, instrument validity and reliability tests (through item-total correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha), and Pearson correlation analysis. Meanwhile, qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques through the processes of data reduction, coding, categorization, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students’ mathematical well-being was at a moderate to high level, whereas mathematics anxiety was at a moderate level. Correlation analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between mathematical well-being and mathematics anxiety (r = −0.236, p < 0.05). Qualitative results highlight autonomy-supportive teaching, competence development, and social relatedness as key protective factors against mathematics anxiety. By synthesizing Self-Determination Theory and Control-Value Theory, the proposed I-WARM model provides a conceptual roadmap for educators to foster resilient learning environments. These findings suggest that reducing anxiety requires a shift from deficit-based interventions to well-being-centered pedagogical strategies.

Bridging Policy and Practice: An Analysis of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) Curriculum Implementation Using David C. Korten’s Fit Model
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum at a faculty in a state-owned university in East Java using David C. Korten’s fit model, which emphasizes three elements: program, organization, and beneficiary alignment. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 lecturers, 6 students, and 3 administrative staff members, as well as through observations and documentation studies. The data were analyzed using the interactive analysis model. The results indicate that the implementation of OBE has achieved a progressive alignment between program design, organizational capacity, and beneficiaries, although it remains in a consolidation phase. The adoption of the Case Method and Project-Based Learning, supported by the SIM OBE information system, has successfully shifted the academic culture toward a student-centered learning approach, with average learning outcome achievements exceeding 70 percent of the class average score. The discussion of the findings suggests that while structural support and stakeholder involvement are relatively strong, several challenges remain, particularly regarding the consistency of pedagogical practices and the standardization of assessment among faculty members. These dynamics indicate that successful curriculum transformation requires a “triple alignment” among policy regulations, organizational culture, and classroom-level implementation. This study contributes to the conceptual framework of educational policy implementation by emphasizing that academic transformation is not merely administrative but requires strong synergy between curriculum design and operational capacity. The findings provide strategic insights for higher education institutions to optimize OBE implementation through the systematic integration of digital systems, faculty mentoring, and stakeholder collaboration to enhance graduate competitiveness.
