Abstract:The changing characteristics of children’s learning in the digital era have created a need for learning environments that are more interactive, visual, and experience-based. Conventional learning is increasingly considered…
ered less effective in maintaining children’s engagement due to limited opportunities for exploration and direct interaction during the learning process. In response to this condition, the concept of edutechment has emerged as an approach that integrates educational and entertainment elements to create more enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to analyze the implementation of edutechment at Taman Pintar Yogyakarta as a nonformal educational tourism space. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive observational research design. Data were collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and field notes involving child visitors, guides, and employees of Taman Pintar. The data were analyzed descriptively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that Taman Pintar Yogyakarta has implemented the concept of edutechment through the integration of technology, multimedia, simulations, and educational play activities within various interactive attractions. Children were actively involved in exploration, experimentation, and direct interaction with learning media, creating more concrete and enjoyable learning experiences. However, the study also found that some children tended to focus more on entertainment aspects than on understanding educational concepts. Therefore, stronger facilitation and reflective learning strategies are needed to optimize the implementation of edutechment.
Abstract:Children’s oral language development is a fundamental component of early literacy, classroom participation, social communication, and later academic achievement. The growing use of digital technologies in early childhood…
od and primary education has created new opportunities for supporting children’s speaking, listening, vocabulary development, storytelling, expressive language, and communicative confidence. However, the pedagogical contribution of digital technologies remains dependent on how teachers design, mediate, assess, and respond to children’s language learning. This article presents a conceptual narrative literature review that maps, integrates, and critically describes theoretical perspectives and empirical findings on the use of digital technologies in children’s oral language learning. The review draws on selected Scopus-indexed studies and relevant theoretical literature on sociocultural theory, scaffolding, pedagogical content knowledge, TPACK, digital play, professional vision, and formative assessment. The analysis identifies four major themes: digital technologies as mediational tools, teacher practices in digitally mediated oral language instruction, pedagogical and institutional challenges, and instructional responses for meaningful digital integration. The findings suggest that digital technologies such as video-recorded performance, SMART boards, e-storybooks, digital drama, robotics-based storytelling, language screening applications, and virtual interactions can support oral language development when embedded in active, dialogic, and teacher-mediated pedagogy. The review concludes that a pedagogy-first approach is needed to ensure that digital technologies are used not as isolated tools, but as resources for scaffolding, dialogue, play, feedback, formative assessment, and children’s active language participation.
Abstract:This study aims to examine the strategic role of professional associations in early childhood education policy implementation, focusing on HIMPAUDI East Kalimantan. Non-formal early childhood educators in developing regions…
ons face severe structural vulnerabilities, characterized by a substantial policy gap between central government expectations and local capacities, geographical isolation, and low digital literacy. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative design, this research gathered empirical data through in-depth interviews with the Regional Head of HIMPAUDI East Kalimantan and document analysis. The findings reveal that the association does not merely serve as a gathering platform but functions as a vital strategic partner for local governments. Through multi-layered communication, self-funded tiered training programs, and data-driven political lobbying, the association successfully translates rigid macro-regulations into applicable classroom practices while securing local financial incentives for marginalized educators. This community-based resilience mechanism effectively mitigates administrative burdens and compensates for local government bureaucracy delays. The study implies that local governments should transition toward a co-governance model by formally involving professional networks in policy formulation to ensure equitable educational quality in the new capital city (IKN) era.
Abstract:This study describes the strategies and mentoring model implemented by HIMPAUDI in Krui, West Pesisir Regency, to improve the professionalism of early childhood education teachers. This research employed a descriptive qualitative…
alitative approach, with primary data collected through a structured interview with a HIMPAUDI board member in West Pesisir Regency. The findings show that HIMPAUDI mentoring is carried out through tiered training, curriculum and learning workshops, teacher working groups, seminars, mentoring, supervision, sharing of good practices, and socialization of professional ethics. The mentoring model is participatory, collaborative, continuous, needs-based, reflective, and ethical-professional. These activities strengthen teachers pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies, particularly in understanding child development, designing creative learning, developing learning media, adapting the curriculum, and maintaining professional responsibility. However, implementation is constrained by limited time, training costs, unequal access to information, varied teacher motivation, digital competence, and coastal geographical conditions. The study recommends strengthening local professional development through professional learning communities, mentoring cycles, digital support, and institutional collaboration among HIMPAUDI, local government, higher education institutions, and early childhood education providers.
Abstract:This study aims to determine the effect of auditor experience and self-efficacy on auditor performance at the Bone Bolango Regency Inspectorate. This study used a quantitative approach with a causal associative method. Data…
ata were collected by distributing questionnaires to 38 respondents selected using a census sampling technique (total sampling). Data analysis techniques included classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing (t-tests and F-tests) using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 software. The results indicate that, partially, auditor experience has no significant effect on auditor performance, while self-efficacy has a positive and significant effect on auditor performance. Simultaneously, auditor experience and self-efficacy have a significant effect on auditor performance. The coefficient of determination indicates that 73.1% of the variation in auditor performance can be explained by auditor experience and self-efficacy, while the remaining 26.9% is influenced by factors outside the research model.
Abstract:The rapid advancement of digital technology has fundamentally reshaped consumer behavior globally, with social media becoming the primary channel for product information seeking. Approximately 51% of Indonesians rely on…
user reviews before purchasing, and 62% have bought products under the direct influence of Social Media Influencers (SMIs). Despite this, the psychological mechanisms linking influencer characteristics to purchase intention remain fragmented across sectors and platforms. This systematic literature review synthesizes nineteen empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025, spanning beauty, fashion, gadget, and sustainable product sectors across multiple countries, to examine how Source Credibility (attractiveness, trustworthiness, expertise) and Parasocial Interaction (PSI) jointly shape consumer purchase intentions. Three core findings emerge: (1) trustworthiness is the sole credibility dimension that is universally and consistently significant across all contexts, fundamentally challenging assumptions about the equal contribution of the three credibility dimensions; (2) PSI operates not as a single mediator but as a multi-pathway psychological bridge through hedonic value, brand attitude, vicarious experience, and social-personal value whose specific active pathway is contingent on platform, product type, and cultural context; and (3) generational and cultural moderators systematically shape which credibility dimension most powerfully drives PSI. A Proposed Integrative Conceptual Framework and a synthetic cross-study comparison matrix (Table 2) consolidate these findings. Results offer strategic implications for influencer marketing practice and identify priority directions for future research.
Abstract:This study investigated the impact of technology-enhanced Word Wall media on students’ writing skills in an EFL context. The research aimed to determine whether the use of Word Wall as an ICT-integrated learning media could…
could significantly improve students’ writing performance, especially in writing descriptive text. The study employed a pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. The sample consisted of 20 eleventh-grade students selected from SMA Negeri 8 Padangsidimpuan. The data were collected through writing composition tests and observation during the learning process. The results showed that the students’ writing performance improved after being taught through Word Wall media. The mean score of the pre-test was lower than the post-test mean score, indicating a positive effect of the treatment. The hypothesis test also showed that the use of Word Wall media had a significant impact on students’ writing skills. It can be concluded that technology-enhanced Word Wall media is effective in supporting students’ writing development and creating more interactive and engaging EFL learning.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze and describe the management accounting practices applied at Imanuel Church in Gorontalo City as a nonprofit organization. The dimensions examined include budget planning, internal control, financial…
ncial reporting, and the evaluation of financial performance and ministry programs. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Research informants consisted of the Head of BPHMJ (Daily Working Body of the Congregation Council), the Treasurer, the Secretary, and Church Officials directly involved in financial management. The findings indicate that management accounting practices at Imanuel Church have not yet functioned optimally: (1) budget planning lacks a structured and documented annual budget system; (2) internal control does not yet apply the principle of segregation of duties and has no formal internal audit mechanism; (3) financial reporting is limited to recording cash inflows and outflows and does not comply with ISAK 35; and (4) performance evaluation does not use measurable indicators and no comparison between budget and realization has been conducted. Strengthening of a structured financial management system in accordance with applicable accounting standards is needed.
Abstract:Arabic morphology constitutes a fundamental branch of classical Arabic linguistics, focusing on morphological word transformation (tashrif) and derivational morphology. Despite more than a millennium of development, epistemological…
temological inquiry into ilmu sharaf — concerning its sources of knowledge, methods of rule formation, and scientific validity — remains considerably limited in contemporary academic literature, with existing studies tending toward normative and pedagogical orientations that neglect its fundamental philosophical dimensions. This article aims to examine the epistemology of ilmu sharaf from the philosophy of science perspective, tracing its historical genealogy from the early Islamic codification period through to modern Arabic linguistics, and analyzing its contributions to contemporary Arabic morphology. The research employed a qualitative library research method with historical, epistemological, and comparative-linguistic approaches, utilizing critical analysis of relevant primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal that ilmu sharaf possesses a robust epistemological foundation derived from the Qur'an, hadith, classical Arabic fushah poetry, and qiyas (analogical reasoning), and was developed through the methods of sima' (documentation), istinbath (inference), and ta'lil (rational justification) by linguists of the Bashrahn and Kufahn schools. Ontologically, its subject matter is morphological word transformation that produces semantic change; axiologically, it functions to preserve Arabic linguistic purity and facilitate Qur'anic comprehension. The contributions of ilmu sharaf to modern Arabic linguistics are demonstrably significant, particularly in the development of root-and-pattern morphology theory, derivational semantics, and Arabic natural language processing (NLP). These findings indicate that the classical sharaf tradition is not merely historically relevant but also carries important methodological implications for contemporary Arabic computational linguistics.
Abstract:This study aims to formulate a strategy for optimizing the role of the “Pantai Marang” Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) in the management of ecotourism at Pantai Marang, Kaliorang District, Indonesia. The study employed…
ployed a mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative approach was used to identify internal and external factors through interviews and field observations. Meanwhile, the quantitative approach was applied in the IFAS and EFAS analyses using purposive sampling involving three respondents selected based on specific criteria. Data analysis was conducted using the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) method. The findings revealed that the IFAS score was 1.12 and the EFAS score was 0.50, indicating that the position of the “Pantai Marang” Pokdarwis falls within Quadrant I. This condition demonstrates that the “Pantai Marang” Pokdarwis possesses significant strengths and opportunities that support ecotourism development. Therefore, the appropriate strategy to be implemented is a growth strategy, as it offers substantial potential for supporting the development of Pantai Marang as a leading ecotourism destination.
