CII Education: An Offering Concept for Indonesian Education (Study on SMK KITA and EF-ILC)
Indonesia's goal to achieve the vision of “Indonesia Emas 2045” requires the role of the education sector. However, the current education system faces several critical challenges, such as corruption, discrimination, declining nationalism, and ineffective governance, which can hinder sustainable development. This research proposes the Contextualized Inclusive and Integrative Education (CII Education) model as an innovative framework to address these issues. The main objective of this research is to analyze and integrate three key educational concepts, namely Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), Inclusive Education, and Integration Education, into a comprehensive educational approach that aligns with national development goals. Using a qualitative research methodology, this study employs literature reviews, field observations, and empirical data collection from two institutions: SMK KITA and EF-ILC. CTL improves student engagement and critical thinking, while Inclusive Education ensures accessibility without discrimination. Moreover, TIE strengthens long-term knowledge retention by linking students’ cognitive, emotional, and social learning processes. Data findings from observed classrooms suggest that the CII model enhances students' academic performance and social adaptability. The study concludes that CII Education provides a structured and adaptable solution for improving Indonesia’s education system. Its implications in the future will include policy recommendations for national education reforms, teacher training programs, and industry-academic collaborations. Further research is required to explore the scalability of this model across different socio-economic and educational settings to ensure sustainable educational development in Indonesia
Developing a Prototype of a Self-Regulated Learning-Based Learning Model for English Language Learning for Junior High School: Introduction, The Objectives, Method, Result and Discussion, Conclusion
This study aims to develop a prototype learning model based on self-regulated learning for students who study English at Junior High School, and find effective strategies to support teachers in adopting and adapting self-regulated learning-based learning in their English classes. The era of globalization requires mastery of English language to access global information, communicate among countries, and increase competitiveness. The 2045 Golden Indonesia Vision [5} also emphasizes the importance of developing the quality of human resources, including English language. However, data show that Indonesia English language proficiency is still low according to EF English Proficiency Index. Also, one of the main challenges is the very limited use of English language in daily life. The conditions mentioned above are challenges for the autonomous learning of high school students. Therefore, a teaching and learning model facilitating students with the ability to systematically manage their learning process is really needed to achieve their learning goals. The components of SRL include cognitive strategies, beliefs and motivation, and resource management. The self-regulated learning-based learning model is seen as the right solution to improve students' self-regulated abilities in learning English language. This learning model follows a three-phase cycle model which includes the Forethought phase, the Performance phase, and the Reflection phase. Developing the prototype of a Self-Regulated Learning-Based Learning Model for Junior High School English participants follows the ADDIE Model. This development model has 5 stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. However, there are only three stages of the ADDIE Model implemented in the research, namely Analysis, Design, and Development. Through this study, the prototype of a SRL-based Learning Model is developed. The implications of this prototype are (1) teachers becoming more aware to facilitate students’ learning English with learning strategies, and (2) students are rather more goal and strategy-oriented since they implement the SRL in order to get better achievement
Sustainable Consumer Purchasing Behavior as a Result of Kopi Kenangan's Sustainable Business Practices
The coffee industry has become one of the sectors receiving increasing attention in the context of sustainability, both from environmental and social perspectives. As awareness grows about the importance of sustainability, consumer purchasing behavior towards coffee brands has also become a primary focus of research. This study builds upon previous research titled "Sustainable Business of Kopi Kenangan as a Startup Company in Improving the Company's Reputation and Competitiveness." This prior study, completed in 2024, concluded that sustainable business is a crucial strategy for startups to enhance reputation and competitiveness. Kopi Kenangan serves as a successful example of a startup that has integrated sustainable business practices, achieving notable success. The importance of sustainable business in boosting a startup's reputation and competitiveness is emphasized by financial and strategic benefits such as cost savings, increased productivity, improved reputation, and greater competitiveness. This study, as a continuation, explores how sustainable business is viewed from the perspective of one of the company's stakeholders: consumers. According to a 2023 Nielsen survey, 75% of respondents indicated that they are more likely to choose products from companies with clear and measurable sustainability programs, while 68% of respondents consider ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors in their purchasing decisions. The current research focuses on Kopi Kenangan, a company facing increasingly fierce competition in the coffee industry. Therefore, the question arises as to how consumer purchasing behavior towards the Kopi Kenangan brand is influenced by sustainability aspects. This study will attempt to answer whether consumers are more likely to choose brands that demonstrate a commitment to environmental and social well-being and how factors such as environmental awareness, social justice, and corporate transparency influence consumer purchasing preferences

The challenges faced by the Sedulur Sikep are inseparable from the context of social pressures and domination they experienced, particularly during politically sensitive periods, such as the post-G30S/PKI 1965 era. Government policies related to KTP (Resident Identity Card), marriage registration at the KUA (Office of Religious Affairs), and compulsory formal education have influenced the lives of Sedulur Sikep. Findings show that the Sedulur Sikep have maintained the core values of Samin’s teachings while remaining open and willing to adapt to social changes. Future research should focus on the younger generation of Sedulur Sikep to explore their sociocultural adaptatio
Feedback, Performance, and Accountability: A Quantitative Study of Government Valuers in Non-Ministry of Finance Institutions
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Government Functional Valuer Position outside the Ministry of Finance in supporting state asset management. Using a quantitative approach based on a Likert scale, this research analyzes key variables such as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Return on Investment (ROI), Feedback and Evaluation, Benchmarking, Productivity, and Job Satisfaction. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to valuers and related stakeholders in regional government agencies. The results show that Feedback and Evaluation have a significant impact on Productivity (r = 0.942), emphasizing the importance of feedback mechanisms in optimizing valuer performance. Additionally, Benchmarking is closely related to Job Satisfaction (r = 0.923), indicating that implementing global standards contributes to improved motivation and work quality. However, the KPI and ROI variables, while conceptually relevant, do not show a statistically significant impact on Productivity. This study recommends strengthening feedback systems, adopting best practices through benchmarking, and enhancing training programs to improve valuers' technical competencies. These policy implementations are expected to improve efficiency and accountability in managing state assets
Investigating the Challenges of Bureaucratic Reform in Developing Countries: A Case Study Approach

Employing a qualitative research method that includes a literature review and case study approach, the research highlights the various obstacles governments face, such as resistance to change, lack of institutional capacity, corruption, and political interference. The study identifies common trends and key factors hindering reform efforts by analyzing multiple case studies from different developing nations. A significant finding is the role of entrenched political elites, who often resist changes that may diminish their influence or control over resources. Additionally, weak governance structures and insufficient training programs for civil servants contribute to the slow pace of reform. The study also discusses the importance of fostering a culture of transparency and accountability within public institutions and the need for comprehensive strategies that address both the technical and human aspects of reform. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on public administration reform by providing insights into the multifaceted challenges that developing countries face. It offers recommendations for policymakers to create more adaptable and resilient bureaucratic systems that are better equipped to meet the demands of modern governance
The Role of Women’s Leadership in Enhancing Work-Life Balance and Flexible Work Arrangements: A Study in the Financial Industry
This study analyzes the influence of women's leadership on implementing flexible work arrangements (FWA), with work-life balance (WLB) acting as a mediator, in the financial industry in West Java and Jakarta. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 110 respondents working in various financial institutions and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that women’s leadership significantly and positively affects the adoption of FWA, primarily through its impact on employees' WLB. Women leaders are shown to have a deeper understanding of the importance of balancing work and personal life, which fosters the successful implementation of flexible work practices. This research contributes to the existing literature on women's leadership, work-life balance, and flexible work policies, particularly in the financial sector. From a practical standpoint, the results provide important insights for organizations aiming to develop leadership strategies and inclusive work policies that promote employee well-being and organizational effectiveness through better WLB and FWA practices
The Effect of Building Area and Cost on the Accuracy of Cost Estimation in State Buildings
Accurate cost estimation during the conceptual stage is crucial in ensuring effective budget allocation and reducing financial risks in government building projects. In Indonesia, especially Jakarta, the cost estimation process for government buildings is essential to optimize resource distribution. However, challenges persist in improving the precision of these estimations, particularly regarding how building area and construction cost impact the estimation process. This study employs multiple regression analysis to examine the relationship between the building area, construction cost, and the accuracy of conceptual cost estimations in Indonesian government building projects. The study was conducted using a sample of 100 completed projects in Jakarta. The regression analysis results reveal that both the building area and construction cost significantly negatively impact cost estimation accuracy, with a combined explanatory power of 58%. An increase in the building area and construction cost corresponds to more significant deviations in the estimated cost from the actual figures. The study highlights the need for more advanced estimation methodologies and standardized practices to improve accuracy in cost estimation. The findings offer practical recommendations to policymakers and construction professionals, suggesting ways to enhance cost estimation accuracy in the public sector, ultimately leading to better resource allocation and more successful project outcomes
Enhancing Experience-Based Cultural Walking Tours through the 4E Framework: A Case Study of Glodok (Chinatown), Jakarta
This study investigates how the Glodok Walking Tour can be optimized using the 4E Experience Framework—Entertainment, Education, Esthetics, Escapism—to enhance tourist involvement in cultural preservation. Although Jakarta is rich in heritage, tourism strategies often emphasize its modern image, resulting in the underutilization of areas like Glodok. As one of Southeast Asia’s oldest Chinatowns, Glodok offers cultural, and culinary attractions that align with contemporary tourists’ preferences for immersive experiences. While walking tours provide a sustainable platform for cultural engagement, existing designs often lack comprehensive experiential quality. This study seeks to address how the Glodok Walking Tour can be enhanced through the 4E framework to strengthen tourist involvement in heritage preservation. A qualitative case study was conducted, combining interviews with a tour guide and four tourists and participatory observation during the Glodok Walking Tour by Jakarta Good Guide. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s model, involving data reduction, thematic coding based on the 4E framework, and conclusion drawing. Triangulation ensured validity. Results Findings revealed gaps across all dimensions: weak interpretive techniques and lack of hands-on activities (Entertainment); information overload and limited contemporary relevance (Education); poor environmental conditions and insufficient engagement with landmarks (Esthetics); and restricted immersion due to noise and lack of local engagement (Escapism).Optimizing the Glodok Walking Tour through improved storytelling, multisensory learning, enhanced environmental quality, and direct engagement with local stakeholders can transform it into a more meaningful experience. These enhancements foster deeper emotional connections and contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage
