Disruptions and civic education: How should young people be prepared for an uncertain future?
This book is the latest work by Kerry J. Kennedy, a leading scholar on civic education and global education policy. In this book, Kennedy presents a comprehensive analysis of how civic education needs to be reformulated amidst a rapidly changing and uncertain global landscape. Disruption, which is the key word in this discussion, does not merely refer to the development of digital technology, but to structural changes involving economic, political, social and environmental fields. Kennedy sees that the younger generation is living in the "century of disruption", a time when stability is no longer the norm, and uncertainty is inevitable. Therefore, this book proposes an educational approach that prepares learners to survive and participate meaningfully in this changing world.

This article examines the concept of "Trojan Horse politics" and the challenges associated with priority-based political development in the context of the 2024 simultaneous elections, using an ethical Trojan Horse strategy from a political philosophy perspective. The research is based on a comprehensive literature review of priority-based political frameworks. Data on moral virtues were gathered from various journal articles, academic papers, government reports, social media, online sources, and expert writings, particularly those of Thomas Aquinas. The data analysis employs philosophical hermeneutics, including verstehen, translation, and interpretation techniques. The study, conducted over three months, reveals that prioritisation is critical in selecting potential political leaders and representatives. Virtue should motivate all competencies, guiding prospective leaders in recognising their calling to address societal issues, crafting a vision, setting political agendas, formulating policy programs, and taking bold actions. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of resilience, the ability to inspire risk-taking, and the stimulation of social capital, charisma, and collective potential in fostering national sustainability and achieving social welfare. In preparation for the 2024 elections, political parties must undertake thorough vetting processes and disclose the histories of their candidates to ensure that elected leaders prioritise the public good.
Integrating Gresik’s local cultural wisdom into character education for shaping the Pancasila student profile
This study investigates the possibility of incorporating Gresik local cultural wisdom into character education lessons to achieve the Pancasila student profile. This research technique uses a qualitative research approach. Data collection includes limiting study scope, acquiring information by observation and formal and informal interviews, and documenting findings. The aggregation of open-ended data, derived from common questions, and information processing from many participants are essential elements of data analysis. The cultural knowledge of the Gresik people will be the primary subject of this investigation. More particularly, the discussion topics will be pasar bandeng, rebo wekasan, festival damar kurung, sanggring, and macanan. According to the research findings and the language that describes it, character education in Gresik's local cultural wisdom contains the values of teamwork, patriotism, diligence, creativity, and religious character. This research highlights the innovative aspects of the diverse local wisdom values found in Gresik. Educational institutions can use these values as educational tools to cultivate the character traits outlined in the Pancasila student profile
Differences in understanding between religions and cultures characterise the emergence of intolerance in society. These conditions can contribute to the breakdown of religious life and result in subjective interpretations of truth that disregard others' perspectives. The research method used a mixed method with a sequential exploratory model. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, literature studies (qualitative), and questionnaires (quantitative). This study aims to reveal the dynamics of cultural da'wah, the process of Muhammadiyah internalisation, and the relationship between Muhammadiyah and syncretic Islam in shaping the value of tolerance in Yogyakarta. The results of the study show several things, namely 1) there are dynamics of cultural da'wah described by the concepts of hablumminallah and hablumminannas with examples of each entity's attitude towards the night of Suro; 2) there is involvement of each entity in Muhammadiyah activities with conservative teaching materials and adaptive methods, as demonstrated by the processes of acculturation, assimilation, and accommodation in each entity's religious activities; and 3) the phenomena observed in this case study illustrate the relationship between Muhammadiyah and Syncretic Islam in shaping the value of tolerance in Yogyakarta. The relationship between the two can fulfil the indicators of the active tolerance model by being able to coexist peacefully and strive to respect diversity.
The prolonged conflict between the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has resulted in social disruption, collective trauma, and the weakening of community social structures. Although a peace agreement was reached through the 2005 Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding, the greatest post-conflict challenge lies in rebuilding trust, solidarity, and social harmony. An interesting phenomenon is the success of Acehnese society in achieving social stability through internal strengths, particularly a strong Islamic religious approach and deeply rooted local culture. This article aims to analyze the contribution of religious and local cultural approaches in fostering post-conflict social harmony in Aceh. This study is qualitative in nature, using a descriptive-interpretative approach. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, document analysis, and surveys. Key informants consisted of religious leaders (ulama), traditional leaders, former GAM combatants, women leaders, youth, and village officials located in former conflict-affected regions such as Pidie, North Aceh, and Bireuen. Data analysis employed a thematic approach through data reduction, categorization, interpretation of findings, and inductive conclusion drawing. The findings show that religious approaches, through the active roles of ulama, religious gatherings (majelis taklim), and Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), have been effective in restoring faith-based values and community social ethics. Meanwhile, local cultural elements such as peusijuek (traditional blessing rituals), gampong deliberations, and customary village institutions have served as effective means of social reconciliation, strengthening community ties and resolving horizontal conflicts. The synergy between religious values and local wisdom has formed a strong social system for maintaining peace and preventing future conflicts. In conclusion, religious and local cultural approaches have proven to be fundamental pillars in creating sustainable social harmony in post-conflict Aceh. This model can serve as a strategic reference for other conflict-affected regions seeking to build peace through local potential.
Legal implications of mixed marriage without a prenuptial agreement on land ownership
Mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens and foreign nationals raise complex legal issues, particularly regarding land ownership rights in Indonesia. The absence of a prenuptial agreement in such marriages can result in the loss of land ownership rights for the Indonesian spouse, as regulated under the Marriage Law and the Basic Agrarian Law. The Supreme Court Decision No. 539 K/AG/2021 serves as a significant case to examine the legal implications of mixed marriages without a prenuptial agreement, and this study aims to analyse its impact on the protection of land ownership rights for Indonesian citizens. This research applies a normative juridical qualitative approach by analysing legislation, legal doctrines, and court decisions related to mixed marriages and land ownership. The primary legal basis includes the Marriage Law, the Basic Agrarian Law, Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015, and Supreme Court Decision No. 539 K/Ag/2021, supported by secondary sources such as journals and legal literature. Through descriptive-analytical analysis, this study highlights the legal considerations and implications of the absence of a prenuptial agreement in mixed marriages, particularly regarding the protection of land ownership rights. The research results show that Supreme Court Decision No. 539 K/Ag/2021 emphasises fairness and legal certainty by recognising land and property acquired during mixed marriages without a prenuptial agreement as joint property to be divided equitably. The decision also highlights potential legal risks, as it indirectly enables foreign nationals to benefit from land ownership rights that are prohibited under the Basic Agrarian Law. Therefore, a prenuptial agreement is an essential preventive measure to provide legal clarity, protect Indonesian citizens, and avoid future legal complications in mixed marriages.
The importance of citizenship responsibility for the young generation in the conservative anti-corruption movement
The young generation plays a crucial role in combating corruption; however, their engagement is suboptimal due to insufficient ethical awareness regarding corruption issues and challenges in differentiating between corruption within governmental systems and public services. This research aims to investigate the civic responsibilities of the youth in the anti-corruption movement. The research method employed is qualitative, using an ethnographic approach. This study's findings indicate that civic responsibility manifests in two dimensions: citizen engagement and citizen participation in addressing and eliminating corruption within educational, social, legal, and religious contexts. The youth significantly contribute to the conservative anti-corruption movement by fostering and reinforcing moral, spiritual, cultural, and civic values within an environment that cultivates and shapes the attitudes and behaviours of active, creative, and innovative individuals in the battle against corruption. Consequently, it can be inferred that this conservative anti-corruption initiative aims to cultivate character and integrity among youths through extensive campaigns, promotions, counselling, and mentoring.
This study aims to analyse the content and frequency of civic competence components found in the main textbook (Buku Teks Utama/BTU) for Grade IX Pancasila Education, published in 2023 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia. Civic competence, which encompasses knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, and character, is a critical domain in the formation of democratic and responsible citizens. This research adopts a mixed-methods content analysis that integrates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to examine how these components are presented and distributed throughout the textbook. Data collection involved a systematic process of reading, coding, and recording relevant content, allowing for an in-depth evaluation of textual material. The analysis reveals three major findings. First, the main textbook for Grade IX includes all core components of civic competence, with each aspect represented in various learning sections. Second, the knowledge component is the most dominant, accounting for 49.18% of the total civic competence content, indicating a strong emphasis on cognitive learning outcomes. Third, the main textbook presents these components through structured pedagogical features such as introductions to learning, instructional materials, learning activities, reflective tasks, and assessment instruments. These findings suggest that while the textbook supports the development of civic competence, there is a disproportionate focus on knowledge-based content compared to affective and behavioural dimensions. The study offers insights into the current orientation of Pancasila education and provides recommendations for balancing cognitive and character-based competencies to strengthen civic education in Indonesia’s formal curriculum.
Design of citizenship education model development through digital media in strengthening students' character
This study focuses on designing and developing the Citizenship Education model to strengthen students' character. A continuous effort is needed to create several learning models that strengthen students' positive character. Hence, they remain enthusiastic about completing the lecture on time and are not eroded by life's challenges. It used development research. The analysis results are obtained from several stages: the first stage is an analysis by identifying problems and carrying out task analysis, the second stage is a design by concluding learning objectives, the third stage is a development by creating patterns and utilizing digital media, the fourth stage is an implementation by applying learning pattern that has been designed, and the fifth stage is an evaluation by observing of whether the learning pattern made can be appropriate based on initial beliefs. Referring to the development of the ADDIE instructional model, the next stage is adapted to develop the Citizenship Education learning model called MPC (Modification of Project Citizen). This model is designed to be based on digital media and is produced by considering the implementation of Citizenship Education in strengthening student character.
Citizenship campaigns as community civics to strengthen civic engagement
This research aims to reflect on citizenship campaigns as a means of community civics to strengthen civic engagement through a qualitative approach and phenomenological methods. Participant reflections emphasize how civic engagement manifests in civic activity and political voice through community civics, particularly concerning the socio-cultural dimensions of civic education, which align with the goals of fostering smart and good citizenship. Civic activity is associated with philanthropic movements, while political voice relates closely to political aspirations aimed at influencing policy. This reflection on citizenship campaigns serves as a channel for community civics, enhancing civic engagement in the form of both civic activity and political voice related to the public good and public interest. Campaigns can act as tools for persuasion and the dissemination of ideas that promote the development of citizen attributes. Furthermore, this study enriches the understanding of civic communication which is intrinsically linked to how citizens behave, engage, and participate in civic issues relating to the meaning of aspects of communication and use of media.
Implementation of the “SANTRI” moral movement as an effort to realise the Pancasila student profile
Education, apart from being an effort to transform knowledge, is expected to be able to transform good values in life. Currently, various moral problems in the world of education, especially among students in schools, are increasing, ranging from simple to complex issues. Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile at school is seen as a strategic foundation to shape students with noble character aligned with the six dimensions of lifelong learners. One approach to instilling good character is through moral movements, where the method of habituation allows students to gradually apply values in their daily lives. Using a qualitative approach with data collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review, this study explores how such movements operate in practice. Within this framework, the SANTRI moral movement emerges as a meaningful initiative that embodies politeness, independence, and excellence values that harmonise with the essence of the Pancasila Student Profile. When embedded into the school culture, these efforts subtly but powerfully influence students’ behaviour and mindset, offering a sustainable path toward cultivating strong moral foundations in education.
Community program for managing wetland environment
This study examines community initiatives in the management of wetland ecosystems, with an emphasis on riverbanks in Banjarmasin City. Wetland environmental management presents various challenges. The extent of knowledge and community engagement constitutes a challenge in environmental maintenance and management. This study seeks to evaluate current community programs focused on the sustainable preservation, management, and utilisation of wetland environments along the riverbanks of Banjarmasin City. This study employs a case study methodology, utilising data collection techniques that include direct observation at the site, interviews with community members, youth, and local government officials, as well as documentary analysis. The study's findings indicate that community and youth engagement, comprehensive governmental support, and the integration of knowledge with effective practices are essential for the program's success. The rise of environmental activist communities exemplifies the success of community programs in environmental management. In executing the program to manage the wetland ecosystem, both the community and government encounter numerous challenges, including tourists seeking river tours who lack a comprehensive understanding of environmental stewardship along the Banjarmasin City Riverbanks.
Stakeholder engagement in the development of edutourism at the Sekolah Sungai Siluk Bantul District
Researchers typically focus on the participation of stakeholders who cannot influence the organisation. This right requires a more effective perspective on participation and leads to the granting of power. This research investigates how extensively stakeholders have participated in developing educational tourism at Bantul Regency's Siluk School River. This investigation uses a case study approach and employs descriptive qualitative methods. Researchers gathered the data through observation and conducted in-depth interviews with relevant informants for the study. Researchers gather relevant documents by conducting a literature search to collect data. The researchers conducted qualitative data analysis continuously and thoroughly in an interactive manner. The results showed stakeholders actively developed educational tourism at the Siluk School River. PT PLN contributes to infrastructure development through its corporate social responsibility program. The Selopamioro Village Government actively supports and collaborates with the community's activities. Various communities, universities, and non-governmental organisations actively contribute to community empowerment activities. However, other government institutions, like local governments, still lack clearly defined functions.
Strengthening student tolerance through the integration of Moi community customary values in citizenship learning
This study highlights the significance of integrating Moi community customary values into civic education to encourage students to develop a more tolerant mindset. This study uses a qualitative methodology to incorporate values such as solidarity, mutual respect, and togetherness into the learning process. According to the study's findings, including these values in the education of students not only enhances their capacity to exhibit tolerance towards others but also contributes to a greater sense of solidarity with other individuals and an increased sense of national pride. Furthermore, the incorporation of Moi traditions helps create an inclusive learning environment that equips students with the practical skills necessary to manage diversity. This study found that to successfully implement culture-based education to create a harmonious and pluralistic society, it is required to secure broader support from stakeholders, including educators, policymakers, and local communities.
Social transformation of indigenous communities in forming citizenship identity
The Tobelo Dalam tribe actively represents an indigenous community in Indonesia, consistently maintaining biodiversity in various forest areas of Halmahera, North Maluku. The expansion of timber companies and the mining industry threatens the roaming area of the Tobelo Dalam tribe. Over time, some experienced a cultural shift from nomadic life, embracing modern values while maintaining their identity as an inland community that fully utilises forest products to meet their living needs. This study analyses the existence of the Tobelo Dalam tribe in the Tukur-Tukur hamlet, Dodaga village, East Halmahera and examines how their social transformation patterns shape a citizenship identity. This study employs a qualitative approach through a case study method. Collect data using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. We analysed the collected data using data reduction, presentation, and verification techniques. The research findings show that the Tobelo Dalam tribe in the Tukur-Tukur hamlet, an indigenous community that values the forest ecosystem, has undergone a shift in modern lifestyle due to government policies promoting modern living standards for the community, and internal encouragement from the tribe to leave the forest zone for settlements. The social transformation pattern of the Tobelo Dalam tribe in the Tukur-Tukur hamlet reveals three domains: political factors, cultural factors, and social factors, which are evident in aspects of religion, education, social behaviour, and economy. This study's findings offer stakeholders valuable insights to protect the sustainability of forests and indigenous communities on Halmahera Island from mining impacts.
Legal compliance in market retribution payments
The objective of this study is to critically examine traders' legal compliance practices concerning the payment of market retribution. Additionally, it aims to investigate the factors that impact the policies and efforts made by market managers. This study employs a qualitative research method, utilizing a case study approach that includes observation, interviews, and documentation as components of the research process. The study's findings demonstrate that vendors' compliance with the law regarding the payment of market fees continues to be minimal. The factors that impact the implementation of these policies include perceptions among vendors that they personally own their stalls, poor-quality market services, unstable economic conditions among vendors, and insufficient supervision and enforcement of penalties. Efforts made by market managers to improve traders' compliance are still limited to socialisation and manual collection, without the assistance of a system that is both effective and transparent. According to these findings, there is not only a connection between legal compliance in fee payments and individual legal awareness, but perceptions of fairness, legitimacy, and participatory market governance also influence it.
Thematic learning for character excellence
This study designs and develops the Citizenship Education model to strengthen students' character. We need to continuously create several learning models that reinforce students' positive character. They stay enthusiastic about finishing the lecture on time and do not let life's challenges erode their spirit. They used development research. We obtain the analysis results from several stages: first, we identify problems and carry out task analysis; second, we conclude learning objectives during the design phase; third, we create patterns and utilise digital media in development; fourth, we apply the designed learning pattern in implementation; and fifth, we observe whether the created learning pattern aligns with our initial beliefs during evaluation. The development of the ADDIE instructional model leads to the next stage, which adapts to create the Citizenship Education learning model known as MPC (Modification of Project Citizen). This model focuses on digital media and develops Citizenship Education to strengthen students' character. This study introduces a novel Citizenship Education learning model that utilises interactive digital media to effectively deliver material and systematically shape students' citizenship character in the context of the digital era.
Nation and the construction of masculinities in the Film Seperti Dendam Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas
Films often represent masculinities influenced by social constructions produced and legitimised by the state. This research examines how the state shapes multiple forms of masculinity through the film Seperti Dendam Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas. The film critiques the hegemonic masculinity constructed by the state, while also illustrating that masculinity is not monolithic. Instead, it consists of diverse and sometimes conflicting contextually negotiated constructions. This study uses multimodal discourse analysis to explore the interrelationship between the state, masculinities, and gender representation within the film. The findings reveal that the state plays a significant role in maintaining hegemonic masculinity through policies and regulations that reinforce patriarchal norms. However, the film also opens up spaces for renegotiation, particularly for heterosexual men who fail to conform to dominant standards, allowing them to reclaim recognition within the masculine hierarchy. Furthermore, the film, produced in the Reformation era, set in the Orde Baru era, reflects a transitional moment where representations of masculinity become more fluid and contested. In a patriarchal system, while masculinity is still maintained through social control mechanisms, its boundaries are increasingly permeable, enabling cultural shifts and new gender negotiations. This research contributes to gender and media studies by showing how films, particularly Seperti Dendam Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas, can challenge and disrupt patriarchal constructions of masculinity shaped by the state, thereby opening up new avenues for understanding and redefining masculinity.
Legal policy of the Indonesia's natural disaster insurance system
The role of the insurance sector in national economic growth has a very strong correlation and can be utilised for financing schemes for natural disaster management. This study aims to investigate whether insurance, national economic growth, and the utilisation of insurance for natural disaster management have a constitutional correlation with a constitutional law approach. This research is conducted using the doctrinal research method. The doctrinal research method is an analysis of positive law, related cases, and other relevant references in studying a legal issue. This study found that in the constitutional law system, the correlation between catastrophe insurance and national economic growth is closely related to the mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, which states that the insurance service sector can be classified as an essential for the lives of many people, so that it must be structured based on the principle of kinship. Therefore, the legal policy of the insurance system in Indonesia must be structured based on the principles of economic democracy, togetherness, equitable efficiency, sustainability, environmental insight, independence, and maintaining a balance of progress and national economic unity. In more specific, the correlation between the utilization of insurance in natural disaster management can be linked to the Articles of Human Rights contained in the 1945 Constitution. So the legal policy of the insurance system, especially catastrophe insurance, should not only provide (economic) benefit for business actors but also involve a public service dimension for society.
Family-based traditional market management in Yogyakarta Special Province Indonesia
This research aims to examine the implementation of family-based principles in the traditional market management in Yogyakarta. This research is qualitative research employing a case study approach. Data collection methods were interviews and questionnaires. The research subjects consisted of Traditional Market Traders, Market Heads, and five Indonesian Association of Market Traders including Beringharjo, Sleman, Piyungan, Wates, and Wonosari Market. The results of this research show that the family-based principles are applied in the management of these traditional markets. Based on the interview results and questionnaires, traditional market traders, market heads, and traders’ associations have a strong relationship both structurally and formally as well as culturally and informally. Communication between the three research subjects was established effectively by performing deliberations in policy making. Informal relationships include recitals, joint gymnastics, and cooperation. This study reveals that the value of deliberations is high which reaches 72%; a sense of family is 85.5%; Gotong-royong activity reaches 82%; family value reaches 83%; cultural value is 86%; and confidence level is 81%. This impacts the existence of Yogyakarta's traditional markets which still survive and even become tourist landmarks. This research has limitation on its depth and method usage, so future research needs to be deepened with other methods.
The inspiration for this investigation comes from a new classroom management trend centred around providing students with assistance and guidance to encourage them to be disciplined, to learn, and to participate in class. Within this context, teachers serve as guides and facilitators rather than external controllers of the students' actions. This investigation aims to determine how empathetic communication helps foster more inclusive learning environments and how it influences student behaviour and academic achievement. As a new paradigm in classroom management, compassionate communication is the study's focus. Interviews, observations, and surveys were combined to conduct the study using a mixed-method approach. The Greater Jakarta region's public and private schools, ranging from elementary to vocational levels, provided data collected from 161 respondents and eight teachers. The study results emphasise that teachers who communicate with empathy make students feel more at ease, more willing to share their thoughts, and more inclined to participate actively in class. One of the practical implications is the necessity of teacher training programs that focus on the development of empathetic communication skills to improve classroom management.
Civic engagement of Tengger indigenous community in strengthening ecological citizenship
This study aims to analyze the involvement of the Tengger Indigenous People in strengthening ecological citizenship. Using a case study approach, this research examines how the values of Tri Hita Karana which emphasize harmony between humans and God (parahyangan), among fellow humans (pawongan), and with the environment (palemahan) support sustainable nature conservation practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving traditional leaders, community members, and key stakeholders in the Tengger region. The findings reveal that civic engagement rooted in local wisdom contributes to the preservation of natural resources such as water, reduces soil erosion, and promotes the sustainability of the Mount Bromo ecosystem. Moreover, collective community participation through traditional rituals such as Kasada and Entas-entas serves as a mechanism for fostering environmental awareness and strengthening social cohesion. These findings align with the theory of ecological citizenship, which posits that local community involvement in environmental stewardship is a critical factor in ensuring ecological sustainability. The study recommends the integration of local wisdom into sustainable conservation policies as an effective bottom-up approach.
Protection Bissu right in the Bugis Arajang ritual
The Bissu retain their "marginalised status" for various reasons, the most significant of which is their status as the custodians of the Arajang. This practice is in direct opposition to their religious beliefs. Secondly, they are subjected to discrimination due to their status as indigenous individuals who are members of the queer community. The Bissu's rights have been restricted in the performance of the Arajang ritual in 2022 and 2023, despite the efforts of the state authority, and more specifically, the provincial government, to address the issue. This article employs a qualitative approach with a case study design to comprehensively analyse the lack of performance of the Arajang ritual. In-depth interviews, documentation, and non-participant observation comprise the research methodology. The results suggest that the legal protections are insufficient to adequately safeguard the Bissu during the performance of rituals, as they are sociologically insufficient. Furthermore, the investigation revealed that leadership is a critical element in realising the rights of the Bissu people; however, normative legal guarantees have minimal influence on the capacity to intervene effectively.
Strategies for realizing equitable education rights for people with disabilities at Nurul Maksum Inclusive Islamic Boarding School Semarang
The problems experienced by vulnerable groups, especially people with disabilities, pose a challenge to conducting in-depth studies to produce innovative solutions. This article examines the inclusive education model as a strategy for fulfilling the educational rights of people with disabilities implemented in Islamic boarding schools. This article aims to determine how inclusive education is implemented in Islamic boarding schools, what strategies are used, and the implications of inclusive education in Islamic boarding schools. The research method used is qualitative research using secondary data sources, such as the primary data obtained from interviews with the caretaker of the Nurul Maksum inclusive Islamic boarding school on the YouTube channel: Sahabat Santri Mengabdi. The second secondary data source comes from journal articles and books relevant to the research theme. The results of the study show that the inclusive education model implemented in Islamic boarding schools uses an Islamic approach with an emphasis on patience, sincerity, and Lillahitaala. The implementation of inclusive education prioritises the needs of students with disabilities, especially in learning to read and memorise the Quran. This study contributes to the development of fulfilling the right to education for people with disabilities, which can be implemented in Islamic boarding schools using special methods.
Strengthening civic literacy through learning civic education courses at Ahmad Dahlan University
This research is driven by the significance of civic education in cultivating students' knowledge and comprehension of citizenship, democracy, human rights, and social responsibility. This course at Ahmad Dahlan University is integral to an institutional initiative aimed at enhancing students' civic literacy. Nonetheless, initiatives to enhance civic literacy via the examination of these courses require more assessment. This research aims to examine the civic education course's role in enhancing students' civic literacy. Data was gathered by observation, interviews, and literature review. Analysis involves the collection of facts, presentation, and formulation of findings. The findings indicated that the project-based learning paradigm employed in the civic education course at UAD was beneficial in enhancing students' civic literacy, particularly in relation to democracy and national identity. Interactive pedagogical approaches, such as case studies, enhance students' comprehension of social concerns. Social contextual elements, pedagogical models and methodologies, together with assessment, significantly impact students' motivation and academic performance. Project-based learning surpasses traditional techniques in effectiveness, while regular assessments provide the adaptation of learning models and strategies to meet student requirements, thereby enhancing engagement and motivation.
The ebb and flow of the relationship between the institutional and authority of the directorate general of immigration and the directorate of general legal administration
Since the beginning of independence, the authority to handle citizenship in Indonesia has experienced dynamics closely related to the scope of duties and functions of immigration. This study analyses the institutional relationship and authority between the Directorate General of Immigration and the Directorate General of AHU in handling citizenship in Indonesia. The research method used in this article is normative legal research, or doctrinal legal research. Interview techniques support the exploration of thoughts, views, and opinions related to the research topic. The results of the study indicate that the authority to handle citizenship is always closely related to the duties and functions of immigration, so that the roles of the Directorate General of General Legal Administration (Ditjen AHU) and the Directorate General of Immigration cannot be separated, even though they are administratively separate. However, the institutional relationship between these two institutions continues to face challenges, including weak coordination, overlapping authority, and inefficiencies exacerbated by their placement under different ministries. These issues have led to low operational effectiveness, poor oversight, and unsatisfactory public service delivery, as evidenced by numerous complaints about procedural clarity and fairness. Addressing these challenges requires strong leadership commitment to foster synergy and minimise sectoral interests, with regulatory reform a crucial step toward integrating administrative and field oversight functions for more efficient, accountable, and citizen-oriented management of civic affairs.
Strengthening digital literacy and political culture for gen-Z through Pancasila education learning in higher education
This article reviews the importance of political culture and digital literacy for Generation Z as a prospective demographic group. It examines how Pancasila education contributes to the development of Gen-Z's political culture and literacy in higher education. Using a mixed-method research approach with a sequential transformative strategy model, the study transforms one type of data into another after collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data independently. Research findings indicate that trending topics, viral hashtags, FYP, news feeds, CC, and social media algorithms form the foundation of Gen-Z's digital political literacy and culture. This illustrates that, despite avoiding direct practice, Gen-Z exhibits a keen interest in digital politics. Consequently, Pancasila education provides Gen-Z members with opportunities to become competent political players and participants. The study also shows how Pancasila education incorporates digital-based political literacy and culture by emphasizing civic duties and integrating more "real" materials and ideals. The findings suggest that Pancasila education can enhance Gen-Z's digital political literacy and culture by making the curriculum more relevant to their daily lives and digital experiences. This approach not only strengthens digital literacy but also instills a deep understanding of ethical and responsible citizenship, aligning with the context of nationalism and Indonesian identity. The study concludes that integrating Pancasila values into digital political education is crucial for developing critical thinking skills and fostering civic awareness among Gen-Z, preparing them to navigate the complex digital landscape responsibly.
Validity test of digital learning content in social science education for junior high schools in Singaraja city
This research aims to analyse the needs for developing digital learning media in Social Sciences learning in junior high schools in Singaraja City. This study used qualitative research methods. The process of developing learning media must be carried out by testing construct validity and empirical validity. Material experts, media experts and language experts will carry out validity testing. The results of the analysis of social science education material experts assessed the validity score of the material to be 93, or the criteria "Very Valid". Likewise, the graphic design value is 90 or the "Very Valid" criteria. Meanwhile, the level of grammatical validity is 88 or the criteria "Very Valid". Based on the results obtained through expert testing in the media, material and language aspects, it can be concluded that the developed digital learning media is declared very valid, so it is suitable for use in the social science education learning process. The practicality test of digital learning media was assessed by two social science education groups and 24 students participating in social science education learning. The average score given by social science education teachers was 87.69, or Very Good criteria. Meanwhile, the practicality test assessment is based on assessing students taking social science education subjects with a score of = 79.48 or good criteria. These results show that the digital such as media developed can be used sustainably. This is because teachers and students assess that this digital learning media aligns with the needs of teachers and students.
Liminal legality and delayed citizenship
This article explores statelessness as a multidimensional problem that directly impacts access to education and civic identity, particularly in Asia and Europe. Around 10 million people worldwide are stateless, deprived of basic rights such as education, health and employment due to the absence of legal documents. In Malaysia, thousands of children from migrant communities and ethnic minorities such as the Rohingya and Filipinos in Sabah lack access to national schools and public services due to their legal status. Meanwhile, in Europe, historical legacies such as the breakup of the Soviet Union and structural discrimination mean that many children from groups such as the Roma are born stateless and excluded from the education system. This article highlights that formal policies, such as "Zero Reject", are not enough without political alignment and effective identification mechanisms. Through human rights-based approaches and cross-sectoral cooperation, the elimination of statelessness should be a priority agenda in global citizenship and education policies. This will not only guarantee individual rights, but also build the foundations of an inclusive, just and civilised society.
