Integrating TPACK and digcompedu to strengthen primary school teachers’ digital competence
No full textThe rapid digitalisation of education requires teachers to develop comprehensive competence that integrates technological, pedagogical, and ethical digital practices. However, existing research often examines the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) model and the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) framework separately, resulting in limited conceptual guidance on how both can be systematically combined to strengthen teachers’ digital competence. This study applies a qualitative systematic literature review using the PRISMA 2020 protocol to analyse peer-reviewed articles published between 2017 and 2025 across Scopus, ERIC, and SINTA databases. Thirty studies met the inclusion criteria and were synthesised thematically. The findings show that TPACK provides the pedagogical–technological knowledge base, while DigCompEdu operationalises digital professionalism through measurable and ethical indicators. Their integration promotes reflective, inclusive, and learner-centred digital pedagogy and offers a multi-level foundation aligned with global policies (SDG 4), national education reforms (Merdeka Belajar), and institutional digital ecosystems. This review proposes an integrated conceptual map highlighting how global, national, institutional, and teacher-level factors interact to support digital competence development. The integrated framework provides direction for professional development, curriculum design, and future empirical validation in primary education
Development of electronic atlas based on identification of herbaceous vegetation in mount mutis national park
Full text linkGunung Mutis National Park (TNGM), located in South Central Timor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, contains a diverse range of highland herbaceous vegetation with the potential to be used as a learning resource. However, the lack of locally contextualized learning media poses challenges for Biology Education students in identifying herbaceous species during field studies. This research aims to develop an electronic atlas (e-atlas) based on herbaceous vegetation identification in TNGM as an interactive digital learning medium. This study employed the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), involving 25 students and 3 expert validators. Data were collected through validation questionnaires, learning outcome tests, student questionnaires, and lecturer reflections, then analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The results indicate that the e-atlas is valid in terms of content and design, practical in application, visually engaging, and effective in enhancing students' understanding of herbaceous species. A total of 12 species from 8 families were documented and included in the e-atlas, complete with scientific information. This e-atlas has the potential to serve as a contextual learning medium based on local resources, promoting ecological literacy and improving botany education in conservation areas
Toxic Positivity and Mental Health Help-Seeking Intentions and Attitudes among Filipino High School Students
Full text linkThis study explores the emerging trend of toxic positivity among high school students, a topic with limited prior research. It examines behavioral and attitudinal patterns related to toxic positivity, help-seeking intentions, and attitudes, differentiated by gender and grade level. The participants included 263 public high school students in Baguio City, Philippines. Data were collected using the MHSIS, ATSPPH-SF, and TPT. Findings demonstrated excellent reliability for the MHSIS scale (α = 0.906), as well as acceptable to moderate reliability levels for the ATSPPH (α = 0.616) and TPT (α = 0.669). Results further indicate that female students exhibit slightly higher levels of toxic positivity than male students. Students in grades 7 and 8 are more inclined to seek professional assistance. Specifically, grade 8 students consistently demonstrated a stronger intention to seek help than grade 9 students. Additionally, a negative correlation was identified between toxic positivity and help-seeking attitudes: higher toxic positivity levels correlate with reduced help-seeking intentions, and vice versa. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and suggests the development of a School-Based Mental Health and Wellness Program
The Role of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Psychological Well-being among College Students: The Mediating Role of Emotional Intelligence
Full text linkThis study aims to examine the effect of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on Psychological Well-Being (PWB) among college students, with Emotional Intelligence (EI) as a mediating variable. Although ACEs are widely known to affect mental health, research exploring the psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship in Indonesian college student populations remains limited. Using a quantitative explanatory design and purposive sampling, 440 students aged 18–25 years completed standardized measures of ACEs, EI, and PWB. Data were analyzed using PROCESS Macro Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Results showed that ACEs had a significant negative effect on PWB (B = -0.651, t = -5.464, p < .001), whereas EI had a significant positive effect on PWB (B = 0.722, t = 12.475, p < .001). EI also partially mediated the effect between ACEs and PWB, emphasizing the importance of enhancing emotional intelligence in educational settings. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening emotional intelligence to mitigate the adverse impact of early negative experiences on psychological well-being.
Trapped by Fast Beauty Trapped by Fast Beauty: How Scarcity Promotion and Social Influence Drive Gen Z’s Impulse Buying
No full textThe growth of the cosmetics industry in Indonesia has led to the emergence of the fast beauty phenomenon, characterized by rapid production, low-cost ingredients, and aggressive promotion. This phenomenon has negative impacts, including the increasing tendency of online impulse buying, especially among Gen Z, the dominant users of e-commerce platforms. This study aimed to examine the influence of scarcity promotion and online social influence on online impulse buying of fast beauty products among Gen Z. A quantitative method was employed by distributing online questionnaires to 534 respondents, and the data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23. The results showed that scarcity promotion had a significant positive effect on online impulse buying (β = 0.190, p < 0.05), while online social influence had a significant negative effect (β = -0.201, p < 0.05). Furthermore, both variables simultaneously had a significant effect on online impulse buying behavior (F = 30.959, p < 0.05). Contrary to expectations, the negative effect of online social influence may be explained by Gen Z’s tendency to critically evaluate online information before making purchase decisions. This research contributed to consumer psychology literature and provided practical insights for marketers in developing effective digital marketing strategies
The Effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) Group Counseling in Enhancing Academic Resilience among Students with Academic Difficulties
Full text linkMany students struggle to cope with academic pressure, leading them to give up easily when they receive poor grades, face difficult assignments, or experience failure. Over time, these experiences can erode self-confidence and foster self-deprecating beliefs, such as perceiving themselves as “stupid.” This study examined the effectiveness of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) group counseling in enhancing the academic resilience of students with academic difficulties. The research was conducted at SMP Pembangunan Laboratorium UNP with a sample of 20 students. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed. Participants were selected using random sampling, and data were collected using a Likert-type academic resilience scale. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann–Whitney test. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a significant increase in academic resilience in the experimental group (Z = −2.81, p = .005) and a significant change in the control group (Z = −2.81, p = .005). Furthermore, the Mann–Whitney test showed a significant difference in posttest academic resilience scores between the experimental and control groups (Z = −3.80, p = .001), demonstrating that REBT group counseling is effective in improving the academic resilience of students with academic difficulties
Formulation and characterization of dermal patch containing mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) peel extract using ethyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone polymers
Full text linkMangosteen peel extract (Garcinia mangostana L.) shows strong potential in treating diabetic ulcers. Topical applications via dermal patches enable direct delivery of active compounds while protecting wounds from contaminants, preventing bacterial invasion, and maintaining moisture factors essential for promoting effective wound healing in diabetic patients. The dermal patches of mangosteen peel extract were developed using a combination of EC and PVP K-30 polymers. Previously, the mangosteen peels were extracted utilizing the ultrasound-assisted extraction method. Subsequently, the dermal patches were prepared utilizing solvent casting techniques, employing a combination of ethyl cellulose and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in ratios of 1:3 (F1), 1:2 (F2), and 1:1 (F3). The dermal patches were assessed for their physicochemical properties, including organoleptic characteristics, thickness, weight uniformity, folding endurance, moisture uptake, moisture loss, and pH values. The content of alpha-mangostin was analyzed using UV spectrophotometry, while the interactions between the active ingredient and excipients were examined through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The crystallinity profiles were analyzed using an X-ray diffractometer. Surface morphologies were assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The dermal patches were thin, light yellow, smelled of menthol, uniform in size, and exhibited good folding endurance (>300 folds). The moisture uptake and moisture loss were minimal. The pH values ranged from 6.99 to 7.24. The total xanthone concentrations in patches F1, F2, and F3 were 95.26% ± 0.47, 71.42% ± 1.99, and 78.54% ± 0.47, respectively. It showed no chemical interaction between active ingredients and excipients and had amorphous forms. The surface morphologies displayed smoothness for F1, whereas F2 and F3 exhibited solid spots. It was concluded that formulation F1, which contained ethyl cellulose and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in a 1:3 ratio, was the optimal formulation
Chemical composition and antibacterial properties of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb. essential oil against acne-related bacteria
Full text linkCurcuma aeruginosa Roxb. is used empirically for various treatments, including maintaining healthy skin. However, adequate research is needed before use for medicinal purposes. This study was proposed to determine the chemical content and antibacterial properties of C. aeruginosa against acne-causing bacteria. Water-steam distillation was applied to distill the essential oil. Its organoleptic, yield, and refractive index were also determined. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was performed to identify the chemical compounds. The antibacterial property against acne-causing bacteria was investigated using the diffusion and microbroth dilution methods. The essential oil of C. aeruginosa had a bitter taste, an aromatic odor, and a brownish color with a yield of 0.66% and a refractive index of 1.4921. GC-MS analysis showed 1,8-cineole (30.72%) as the major compound. The inhibition zone diameter varied based on the test bacteria. The 10% essential oil was better at inhibiting Propionibacterium acnes than Staphylococcus aureus or Staphylococcus epidermidis. The MIC and MBC values of the essential oil against P. acnes were the same at 0.07%. The C. aeruginosa essential oil has the potential to be developed into anti-acne preparations
When Darkness Meets Pressure: The Impact of Dark Triad Personality Traits on Work Stress among Employees in Indonesia's Collectivistic Cultures
Full text linkWork stress is a prevalent issue across organizational settings, yet its relationship with dark personality traits remains underexplored in collectivistic culture contexts. This study investigates the impact of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy on work-related stress among employees in Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative methodology and a cross-sectional design, with 255 employees in Indonesia selected via quota sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the General Linear Model (GLM). The findings indicate that psychopathy positively affects work stress, while Machiavellianism negatively impacts work stress. Narcissism does not have a significant effect on work stress. Marital status influences stress levels, with unmarried employees showing greater vulnerability to stress than those who are married. These results suggest that both Dark Triad personality traits and certain demographic factors contribute to variations in work stress. The study highlights the importance of considering personality and demographic characteristics in recruitment and employee support initiatives. Tailoring stress management strategies to individual profiles may enhance employee well-being and promote greater organizational effectiveness
Academic Self-Efficacy as a Mediator: Examining the Link Between Career Calling and Employability in Higher Education
Full text linkIn today's increasingly competitive job market, employability has become a vital competency for students. This study examined the relationship between career calling and student employability, with a particular focus on the mediating role of academic self-efficacy. Utilizing a quantitative correlational design, the research involved 703 student participants. Data were collected through validated Likert-type instruments measuring career calling, academic self-efficacy, and employability. Path analysis conducted using JASP software revealed significant positive associations among the three variables. Mediation analysis demonstrated that career calling had a direct effect on employability (direct effect = 0.112, p = 0.002), as well as a stronger indirect effect through academic self-efficacy (indirect effect = 0.549, p < 0.001). These findings underscore the pivotal role of academic self-efficacy as a mediator, suggesting that its influence on employability is more substantial than the direct effect of career calling alone
