Economic and Social Analysis of Abaca Fiber MSME Actors’ Welfare: A Case Study in Talaud Islands Regency
This study examines the economic and social determinants of welfare among Abaca fiber-based micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) actors in the Talaud Islands Regency in Indonesia. Despite the global recognition of abaca fiber for its durability and sustainability (used in currency notes, luxury automotive interiors, and marine ropes), local producers continue to experience severe welfare challenges. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, data were collected through a structured survey of 30 entrepreneurs and in-depth interviews supported by field observations and focus group discussions. Findings reveal a significant decline in abaca enterprises, particularly in Essang, where 87% of respondents classify their business as “declining” or “newly initiated.” The average monthly income from this activity ranges between IDR 40,000 and IDR 60,000, deemed insufficient by 93% of the respondents to meet basic household needs. Income instability, driven by fluctuating demand and exploitative pricing by intermediaries, has reduced enterprises to marginal, non-primary livelihoods. Structural fragmentation of the value chain, absence of formal market access, and lack of postharvest support following initial government incentives have further weakened sustainability. While 77% of producers involve family or neighbors in production, indicating latent social capital, collaboration among artisans remains minimal, with 60% reporting rare or competitive interactions. Although 87% expressed a strong interest in training and institutional support, only 13% received direct financial assistance. The study concludes that the persistence of poverty among abaca producers is not due to commodity value but to systemic inequities in market access, institutional neglect, and policy discontinuity. Strategic interventions, such as collective marketing institutions, digital promotion, technological training, and inclusive partnerships, are recommended to transform abaca MSMEs into a sustainable and empowering sector

THE ROLE OF PPKn TEACHERS IN INSTILLING RELIGIOUS CHARACTER VALUES IN STUDENTS OF SMA NEGERI 5 TERNATE CITY
Instilling religious character values is an important part in shaping the personality of students with noble and responsible character. Pancasila and Citizenship Education Teachers (PPKn) have a strategic role in instilling these values through the learning process and example. This study aims to describe the role of PPKn teachers in instilling religious character values in students at SMA Negeri 5 Ternate City and identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that PPKn teachers at SMA Negeri 5 Ternate City play a role as facilitators, motivators, and role models in fostering students' religious character, such as faith values, tolerance between religious communities, honesty, and discipline. These values are instilled through integration in subject matter, religious habituation activities in schools, and through a personal approach to students. However, there are several obstacles faced, such as the lack of parental participation, the influence of the environment outside the school, and limited time in the learning process. This study recommends the need for collaboration between schools, teachers, and parents in supporting the strengthening of students' religious character in an ongoing manner

STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION AND MEDIA USE IN LEARNING ACTIVITIES: A MIXED-METHODS APPROACH
This study investigates university students’ perceptions of technology integration and media use in English language learning using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected from 432 students via a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, including Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. The findings showed a generally positive perception (M = 48.30, SD = 5.81), with no significant differences based on gender (p = .163), but a significant variance based on semester level (p = .026), indicating improved perception with higher academic exposure. Qualitative data from interviews with selected students revealed five central themes: ease of access, technical challenges, platform overload, preference for blended learning, and the influence of prior digital experience. Students favored media such as Kahoot, videos, and animations for their engaging features, although their long-term impact on learning was questioned. Participants with earlier exposure to digital tools adapted more confidently, while others initially struggled. Both statistical and thematic analyses highlight the importance of pedagogical alignment, infrastructure stability, and gradual digital familiarization. The study underscores that technology and media can enhance English learning when meaningfully integrated into instruction and supported by institutional strategies

NARRATIVES OF MERITOCRACY IN EDUCATION AND THE REPRODUCTION OF SOCIAL INEQUALITY: A LITERATURE REVIEW IN A CRITICAL SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE: NARASI MERITOKRASI DALAM PENDIDIKAN DAN REPRODUKSI KETIMPANGAN SOSIAL: TINJAUAN LITERATUR DALAM PERSPEKTIF SOSIOLOGI KRITIS
This study aims to examine how the narrative of meritocracy in education contributes to the reproduction of social inequality through a critical sociological approach. Education is often assumed to be a means of social mobility based on individual ability and effort, but the literature shows that this system is fraught with structural biases. This study uses a systematic literature review method with a critical qualitative approach. Data sources come from scientific articles, academic books, policy reports, and educational documents collected from databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and DOAJ. The selected literature focuses on meritocracy, educational inequality, as well as critical theories of education such as cultural capital, habitus, and symbolic dominance. The analysis was carried out thematically and interpretively. The results of the study show that the education system actually strengthens social stratification through evaluation and selection mechanisms that appear to be neutral. The ideology of meritocracy plays a role in justifying inequality and blaming individuals for their failures. This study concludes that a socially just approach to education needs to be developed to break symbolic dominance and open up space for more inclusive and equitable policie
