Development of a Task-Based Yogyakarta Studies Learning Model in University
No full textLearning about Yogyakarta is one form of implementing the Regional Regulation of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. It is hoped that the Yogyakarta Studies learning will be able to incorporate the unique character values of Yogyakarta into the learning process. The purpose of this research is to develop a Task-Based Keyogyakartaan Learning Model for Higher Education. The research method used is Research and Development, with the research subjects being UNY academic staff who participated in the Yogyakarta Studies course. Data was collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The research instruments used were questionnaires, interview guidelines, and questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive techniques. Based on the data analysis conducted, task-based learning in higher education is still very low, at only 5%. Currently, 85% of Yogyakarta Studies learning is still lecture- and discussion-based, and 10% is case study-based. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a prototype of the Task-Based Yogyakarta Studies Learning Model for Higher Education. The resulting prototype is a Task-Based Yogyakarta Studies Learning Model product designed for university students, particularly those in the Faculty of Languages, Arts, and Culture at Yogyakarta State University
Theoretical Foundations of the Charter of Human Rights
Full text linkThis research is an attempt to understand the intellectual and philosophical roots of the charter of human rights. In this pursuit, it addresses schools of thought and philosophies such as humanism and the principle of human agency, rationalism and reasoning, individualism and the role of individual will, natural law as inherent and inalienable rights, and also contractarianism as the basis of social order. Each of these currents in the history of thought has played a significant role in shaping the modern concept of human rights and has provided the groundwork for the drafting of documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and international covenants. The present examination shows that these foundations, despite their differences, emphasize common principles such as liberty, equality, human dignity, and the right to choose; principles that today form the basis of human rights thought. Consequently, understanding these theoretical underpinnings helps us to comprehend human rights not merely as a set of legal regulations, but as the embodiment of a humanistic and universal idea; an idea that constantly seeks to safeguard the status and dignity of all individuals, irrespective of their race, gender or beliefs
A Juridical Review of the Criminal Act of Fraud under the Pretense of CPNS Test Passing
Full text linkThe selection of Civil Servant Candidates (CPNS) in Indonesia is highly competitive and often exploited by irresponsible actors offering fraudulent “guaranteed admission.” This study provides a juridical review of CPNS-related fraud using a normative legal method, analyzing primary sources such as the Indonesian Penal Code (Article 378 KUHP and Article 492 of the new Criminal Code), the Anti-Corruption Law, the State Civil Apparatus Law, and the Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) Law. Secondary sources, including legal literature and judicial decisions, support the analysis. Findings show that fraud schemes typically involve false identities, forged documents, and deceptive promises of CPNS admission in exchange for money. Such practices meet the elements of criminal fraud and may result in imprisonment, fines, or administrative sanctions for officials. The study concludes that CPNS fraud undermines public trust and calls for stronger enforcement, public awareness, and transparent recruitment systems
The Legal Framework for the Establishment of Social Enterprises as New Legal Entities in Indonesia
Full text linkSocial enterprises have emerged in Indonesia at various scales, from micro to macro. However, their existence remains elusive due to the lack of specific legislation governing the legal form of social enterprises, creating a legal vacuum.. The creation of Social Enterprises as a new legal entity in Indonesia is covered in this paper. This research employs both a legislative and a philosophical approach as a normative legal study. According to the study's findings, Indonesia need legislation that expressly governs social enterprises in order to protect social entrepreneurs' admirable objectives from abuse and provide legal stability. Making Social Enterprises a new legal entity and drafting laws specifically for them are two ways that the legal construction pertaining to Social Enterprises is carried out. Regulations pertaining to Asset Lock, Profit Lock, and Mission Lock are included in the statute
Gamifying Vocabulary Learning: The Effectiveness of Digital Game-Based Learning in Motivating EFL Learners
Full text linkThis study examines the effectiveness of game-based learning in boosting motivation among EFL junior high school students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, utilizing a Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework. The research used a quasi-experimental method to assess the influence of digital game-based learning on student motivation. The research was conducted pre- and post-test in a single subject class. Data were gathered from 31 students through adapted Self-Regulation Questionnaires for Learning (SRQ-L), supplemented by semi-structured interviews to gain deeper insights into students' motivational experiences. This research revealed a notable enhancement in autonomous motivation relative to managed motivation, with students predominantly motivated by intrinsic reasons such as curiosity and the perceived value of English proficiency. Results from the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test indicated statistically significant enhancements, suggesting that Blooket may enhance intrinsic motivation by providing engaging and interactive learning experiences. Digital game-based learning was also found to reduce external stresses, cultivating a conducive atmosphere for language acquisition. The study offers insights for incorporating Blooket into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) settings to enhance motivation and engagement
The Functional Importance of the Makhalla Institution in Shaping Competitive Qualities
Full text linkThis paper explores the functional role of social institutions – particularly the makhalla – in the development of competitive qualities among youth in Uzbekistan. Drawing on classical and contemporary sociological theories, it analyzes how institutions such as the family, education, law, and the state influence youth behavior, values, and capacity for competition in a rapidly changing socio-economic environment. The makhalla, as a culturally embedded and community-based institution, serves as a key intermediary in implementing state policy, promoting spiritual and moral development, and fostering youth engagement. The study emphasizes the importance of a systems-based, structural-functional approach in understanding how institutional frameworks support the integration, socialization, and empowerment of young individuals. The paper also highlights the need for empirical, sociological research to assess the effectiveness of these institutions, especially in the context of global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, the paper concludes that the institutional support system – centered around makhalla and family structures – plays a crucial role in nurturing a generation of socially responsible, skilled, and competitive youth
An Exploration of English Teachers’ Experiences, Challenges, and Impact in ICT Integration at Senior High Schools
Full text linkThis study explores the experiences and challenges English teachers face in using ICT in the classroom, their strategies for overcoming these challenges, and highlights their impact on the learning process of using ICT in their classrooms. It seeks to understand the role of ICT in shaping the learning process and outcomes. By examining teachers’ perspectives, this study provides a deeper understanding of ICT use in the context of senior high school level, including how teachers create, use, and assess technology in learning. Using a descriptive qualitative approach focusing on descriptive narrative, the research was conducted in two Senior High Schools in Bungku Tengah District, Central Sulawesi. Data were collected through structured interviews with four English teachers based on 17 questions according to the interview guideline. Data analysis techniques used by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana: data condensation, coding, data display, and drawing conclusions. The findings revealed specific challenges aligned with the study's focus on exploring experiences, such as limited facilities, technical issues, a lack of ICT skills among teachers and students in using ICT, and low student engagement and enthusiasm. To address these challenges, teachers implemented strategies such as creating learning materials, using learning applications such as Pijar Sekolah applications, Google Forms, learning videos, reaching out to students, dividing students into groups, establishing learning agreements, and creating a more structured learning process. Teachers observed that ICT improved teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes more interactive. Students responded positively and showed enthusiasm toward technology-based learning. However, concerns were raised about students' reliance on technology, students prefer to use Google Translate instead of printed dictionaries. The study emphasizes the need for ongoing support, access to adequate resources, and continuous teacher training to maximize ICT's role in improving English language education
Problems of Active and Passive Construction in English and Indonesian
Full text linkThis research aims to compare the differences between active and passive constructions in English and Indonesian and identify the difficulties experienced by learners in understanding and using both constructions. This research uses qualitative method with contrastive analysis technique in comparing the grammatical forms of English and Indonesian sentences as well as the pragmatic value between active and passive constructions. Data collection is done through literature review of related academic sources such as textbooks, journals, as well as previous studies. The following research shows that English directs in using the active structure in the struggle for openness and clarity, even Indonesian directs in using the passive structure in contemplating for polite or rational context. The fundamental difference is how to form passive sentences: English uses the auxiliary verb ‘to be’ and the past participle, and Indonesian uses prefixes such as ‘di-’ and ‘ter-’. The findings have pedagogical implications in grammar teaching, especially in facilitating students to overcome first language interference. The research provides suggestions for contextualised and step-by-step teaching for active and passive constructions

Enhancing Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Conceptual Understanding Through Technology Integration: A Systematic Literature Review
Full text linkThis systematic review analyzes the role of technology integration in improving the conceptual understanding of pre-service mathematics teachers based on the latest literature (2016–2025). Current research remains limited in addressing how technology is integrated into pre-service teacher training, with the majority of previous studies focusing instead on technology use among students. This study aims to explore the types of technology utilized in pre-service teacher education and to analyze their influence on the development of pre-service teachers’ conceptual understanding. The implementation method followed the PRISMA guidelines with a systematic search in six databases (Scopus, ERIC, ProQuest, Emerald, Taylor & Francis, Springer), resulting in 17 articles that met the inclusion criteria after going through a rigorous selection. The results of the study reveal two key mechanisms: (1) Dynamic visualization and representation (through dynamic geometry software such as GeoGebra) that transforms abstract concepts into concrete, facilitating the understanding of mathematical principles and the relationships between concepts; (2) Interactive learning (Web 2.0-based) that encourages independent exploration, collaboration, and the development of critical thinking. Successful implementation depends on structured guidance within the framework of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). The study's conclusions confirm that the integration of technology significantly strengthens the conceptual competence of pre-service teachers as the foundation of effective teaching practices while addressing the gap in previous training models
