Full text linkThe transformation of Indonesian education through the Merdeka Curriculum has the consequence of the need to strengthen the competence of educators, including Early Childhood Education (ECED) teachers. Teachers are no longer just teachers, but also learning leaders who are required to be able to manage the learning process strategically. This strategic management workshop was organized as a form of community service to equip PAUD teachers with understanding and skills in developing, implementing, and evaluating learning in a planned and adaptive manner. The results of the activity show an increase in teacher competence in applying strategic management principles according to the characteristics of early childhood and the demands of the Merdeka Curriculum
Demystifying the Relationship Between Students’ L2 Grit and L2 Hope
Full text linkGiven the affective turn in the second-language (L2) research and the vital roles of L2 grit and L2 hope in learners’ academic achievement, this quantitative study aimed to explore Chinese senior high students’ L2 grit and L2 hope and examine whether there were possible correlations among the two variables and their components. 335 Chinese senior high students completed the questionnaire. Participants reported moderate levels of global L2 grit and L2 hope, but high levels of consistency of interest (COI). Additionally, no statistically significant gender difference could be observed among variables under investigation, while a statistically significant grade-level difference emerged in global L2 grit and global L2 hope, particularly in perseverance of effort (POE) and pathway. Furthermore, global L2 grit positively correlated with global L2 hope with a small-to-medium effect size. Among components of global L2 grit, POE exhibited the strongest association with L2 hope and its components. These findings extend the positive psychology framework in L2 research by highlighting the close link between L2 grit and L2 hope. Practically, the results suggest that English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) instructors, particularly within the high-intensity examination-oriented educational settings, should spotlight EFL learners’ positive psychological traits in daily teaching practices to promote learners’ well-being during their learning journey
What Works and What Challenges in Blended Learning: A Qualitative Case Study of University Lecturers’ Perspectives at an Indonesian Public University
Full text linkThis qualitative case study was conducted at a public university in Indonesia. Blended learning is an instructional approach that combines face-to-face meetings with online learning activities. Its effectiveness depends significantly on the appropriate integration of digital technologies, particularly during synchronous and asynchronous online sessions. This study explores university lecturers’ perspectives on the implementation of blended learning as experienced by students. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGDs). The participants comprised 37 lecturers from Padang State University, with five of them participating in the FGDs. The findings revealed four dominant themes in lecturers’ perceptions: (1) technical challenges, (2) diminished social interaction between students and lecturers as well as among students, (3) instructional effectiveness, and (4) lecturers’ digital competence. A concise conceptual model shows that technical constraints directly reduce social interaction and instructional effectiveness, while lecturers’ digital competence can mitigate these effects through purposeful design and facilitation. The implications emphasize the need for structured institutional support, including reliable campus connectivity and learning management system uptime, a sequenced and sustained program of pedagogical upskilling for lecturers, and clear integration guidelines that align online components with course learning outcomes, so that blended learning is scalable and effective in developing country contexts with similar conditions. This study provides context rich evidence from Indonesia and contributes to the international literature on blended learning implementation

Transformasi Kewenangan Bawaslu dalam Sistem Penegakan Hukum Pemilu Pasca Putusan MK No. 104/PUU-XXIII/2025 [Transformation of Bawaslu’s Authority in the Election Law Enforcement System Post Constitutional Court Decision No. 104/PUU-XXIII/2025]
No full textElections are the primary instrument for implementing popular sovereignty within Indonesia’s constitutional democratic system. However, the dynamics of election administration still face various challenges such as administrative violations, vote buying, and weak effectiveness in election law enforcement. This study aims to analyze the transformation of the Election Supervisory Agency’s (Bawaslu) authority following the Constitutional Court Decision Number 104/PUU-XXIII/2025, which changed Bawaslu’s recommendations into final and binding decisions. Using a normative juridical research method with legislative, conceptual, and case approaches, this study finds that the Court’s decision brings significant changes to Indonesia’s electoral justice system. First, it strengthens Bawaslu’s position as a quasi-judicial institution with adjudicative functions in election law enforcement. Second, it affirms the principle of checks and balances among election administrators. Third, it enhances legal certainty and accountability in the administration of democratic and integrity-based elections. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of this transformation still depends on regulatory harmonization, institutional reform, and capacity building of Bawaslu personnel at all levels. Abstrak. Pemilihan umum merupakan instrumen utama pelaksanaan kedaulatan rakyat dalam sistem demokrasi konstitusional Indonesia. Namun, dinamika penyelenggaraan pemilu masih menghadapi berbagai pelanggaran administratif, politik uang, serta lemahnya efektivitas penegakan hukum kepemiluan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis transformasi kewenangan Badan Pengawas Pemilu (Bawaslu) pasca Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 104/PUU-XXIII/2025 yang mengubah status rekomendasi Bawaslu menjadi putusan yang bersifat final dan mengikat. Dengan metode penelitian yuridis normatif melalui pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Putusan MK tersebut membawa perubahan signifikan terhadap sistem electoral justice di Indonesia. Pertama, memperkuat kedudukan Bawaslu sebagai lembaga quasi-judicial yang memiliki fungsi adjudikatif dalam penegakan hukum pemilu. Kedua, menegaskan prinsip checks and balances antarpenyelenggara pemilu. Ketiga, meningkatkan kepastian hukum serta akuntabilitas dalam penyelenggaraan pemilu yang demokratis dan berintegritas. Meskipun demikian, efektivitas transformasi ini masih bergantung pada harmonisasi regulasi, reformasi kelembagaan, serta peningkatan kapasitas aparatur Bawaslu di seluruh tingkatan
Parenting Fatigue, Sexual Intimacy, and Religious Coping Strategies: A Critical Review
Full text linkParenting fatigue is a multifaceted phenomenon characterized by chronic physical, emotional, and psychological exhaustion stemming from the unrelenting demands of raising children. This critical review synthesizes empirical findings on the intersections of parenting fatigue, sexual intimacy, and religious coping strategies, with particular attention to cultural and gender dynamics. Results consistently indicate that elevated levels of parenting fatigue correlate with decreased marital satisfaction, diminished libido, and weakened emotional connectivity between partners, often intensifying the risk of long-term relational and mental health complications. Although religious coping—through prayer, communal worship, and faith-based practices—can alleviate stress and bolster resilience, its effectiveness varies significantly across cultural contexts and personal beliefs. Many studies highlight a bias toward traditional family structures and maternal experiences, signalling a shortage of research on fathers, non-traditional families, and diverse religious or spiritual frameworks. The review also uncovers methodological gaps, including limited longitudinal research, insufficient cross-cultural comparisons, and an overemphasis on adverse outcomes to the neglect of positive dimensions such as marital resilience and spiritual growth. Overall, this paper advocates for more inclusive, longitudinal, and culturally sensitive investigations and integrated interventions addressing mental and sexual health. By illuminating the complexity of parenting fatigue and its ripple effects on sexual intimacy and coping mechanisms, this review offers valuable insights for designing culturally attuned mental health and family interventions that holistically support parents and couples. Clinicians can leverage this evidence to develop integrative therapeutic approaches, while policymakers can use it to inform inclusive programs that strengthen diverse family structures—promoting both psychological well-being and relational health
Ensuring Reliability: Adaptation and Validation of the AI Anxiety Scale (AIAS) in Indonesia
Full text linkThis study aims to adapt Wang and Wang’s Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale (2019) into the context of Indonesian culture and language. The research involved 222 respondents, consisting of 89 males and 133 females, aged between 15 and over 35 years old. The adaptation process followed six stages: (1) initial translations by translators with different backgrounds, (2) synthesis of the translations into a single version, (3) back-translation by native speakers of the source language, (4) content validation by an expert committee, (5) testing the pre-final version on relevant subjects, and (6) submission of documentation for evaluation. Reliability testing was conducted using Cronbach’s alpha, while logical validity was assessed with Aiken’s V and construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results indicated that the adapted scale had high reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.916, and adequate validity, with an Aiken’s V value greater than 0.50. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit, with an RMSEA value of 0.066, CFI of 0.938, and TLI of 0.927. The Indonesian version of the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale is deemed valid and reliable, making it suitable for use in Indonesi
