The purpose of this research is to study data-driven planning as a catalyst in accelerating the improvement of sustainable education quality in primary schools by optimizing resources and creating more relevant and measurable programs. Many primary schools in remote areas lack adequate facilities, such as proper classrooms, access to technology, and limited numbers and quality of educators. This inequality leads to disparities in the quality of education received by students. Education planning that is not data-driven often results in education policies that are not well-targeted. The study used qualitative research methods. Data were collected through interviews with principals and teachers as well as observations about the planning process and program implementation in primary schools that have implemented the data-based planning model. The data was analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach, which shows how the application of the data-based planning model impacts on the decision-making process and learning implementation. The results show that using a data-driven planning model has successfully changed the work culture in the school. The traditional and routine approach has evolved into a more reflective and evidence-based approach. After implementing this model, the school showed increased student accountability, more efficient resource management and success in achieving more measurable educational goals. The model also encourages collaboration among teachers and other stakeholders, who help work together to create programs that impact students. The role of the learning community plays a role in changing the culture of intuition to data-driven education planning. The results show that other schools can adopt this model as part of a more adaptive and data-driven strategy to improve the quality of sustainable education.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP STRATEGY AND REWARDS TOWARDS ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT OF PRIVATE KINDERGARTEN (TK) TEACHERS IN EAST JAKARTA

2025-08-19T18:09:43+07:00

Increasing teacher organizational commitment is a reward or appreciation for teacher contributions to the organization. Marjuni (2020), said that giving awards to teachers is very appropriate and beneficial. Because, when teachers are recognized, the results of their hard work will be appreciated and can increase their productivity. This study aims to describe the relevance of giving teacher rewards in relation to the transformational leadership they have. The research method used is qualitative with a case study type in East Jakarta. The data collection techniques used were participant observation, interviews and documentation studies with Myles and Huberman data analysis techniques (data reduction, data verification, data display and conclusion drawing). The results of this study indicate that rewards as remuneration for efforts and work results include various elements. The term 'reward' first reminds us of financial matters, namely 'salary'. However, it should be emphasized that salary is not the only form of reward. In fact, it is sometimes argued that financial payments are not the most effective form of reward. The principal's transformational leadership provides motivation as a form of appreciation for teachers which ultimately increases teacher involvement in the educational process. Rewards offer real recognition to people for their achievements and contributions. Financial rewards consist of job-based pay, which provides a base salary according to the value of the work, and individual-based pay, which provides recognition for a person's contribution, competence, or skills. Awards can also be non-financial, such as recognition. If the award is valuable and achievable, and people know how to achieve it, this award can be a trigger for motivation. A PAUD teacher who has a high commitment will have positive thoughts and behavior, prioritize the interests of the organization, and try as hard as possible so that the organization's goals are achieved and develop for the better. In addition, the characteristics of transformational leadership are very high according to teachers. The level of commitment of teacher organizations is also high. The relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment is at a medium and positive level. The results of this study indicate that the principal's transformational leadership and organizational communication have a joint influence on the variable of teacher organizational commitment by 92.2 % which means very strong. The better the principal's transformational leadership and organizational communication, the better the teacher's organizational commitment.

BEHAVIORAL PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: BRIDGING PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES

2025-08-21T18:41:41+07:00

Public management is, by nature, multidisciplinary, but the integration of psychological ideas and approaches has remained limited and sporadic. This study addresses the need for a unified framework that incorporates psychological insights into public administration research and its applications. Using a conceptual research approach, the study synthesis systematic literature from political science, behavioral economics, and psychology to provide a disciplined framework for Behavioral Public Administration (BPA). No original data were gathered; instead, the study examines previously published material to identify trends in behavior and gaps in existing administrative studies. Four basic ideas define BPA: (1) its broad applicability across administrative domains; (2) the relevance of methodological rigout through experimental designs; (3) a reciprocal exchange between public administration and psychology; and (4) the practical value of behavioral insights in improving governance outcomes. These ideas form the foundation of a conceptual model that connects psychological theory to policy efficacy and administrative conduct. A promising area that clarifies administrative behavior is behavioral public administration. Future studies will enhance methodological tools, experimentally evaluate the framework, and foster multidisciplinary cooperation between public administration and psychology.

A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: LOCATING THE ROLE OF EDUCATORS

2025-09-02T18:04:12+07:00

Although artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in higher education, little research has examined these phenomena from an educational perspective. Through a comprehensive evaluation of 146 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2007 and 2018, this paper addresses the lack of pedagogical and ethical considerations in current AI-oriented publications. Based on accepted rules for evidence synthesis, the review used a methodical approach, including papers indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and EBSCO Education Source. With only 6.2% of academics having an eye toward education, the statistics show a predominance of papers from Computer Science and STEM fields. Four main areas define artificial intelligence applications in higher education: intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive systems and personalisation, assessment and evaluation, and profiling and prediction. Only a tiny minority of research addressed ethical issues or instructional frameworks; most employed quantitative approaches. This assessment concludes that while artificial intelligence shows potential for improving educational processes, current research lacks significant input from teachers and remains technologically oriented. It advocates for multidisciplinary cooperation and theory-based methods to ensure that AI supports ethical norms and educational objectives.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NOZZLE BLADE PRESSURE IMPACT ON PELTON TURBINE BUCKETS

2025-08-21T19:38:13+07:00

The Pelton turbine is a hydroelectric power generation technology whose performance is greatly influenced by the nozzle design, particularly the angle of the water spray to the blades. This study aims to analyze the effect of varying nozzle angles (15°, 30°, and 35°) on the pressure and force distribution on the Pelton turbine blades. Fluid flow simulations were performed using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method with SolidWorks Flow Simulation to model the fluid interaction with the blades in detail. The simulation results show that an angle of 15° produces maximum impact force in the FY direction with a very sensitive response to increasing pressure, while an angle of 35° dominates the force in the FZ direction at high pressure. An angle of 30° provides a more stable force distribution. The conclusion of this study confirms that selecting the right nozzle angle is crucial for optimizing energy transfer and maintaining the structural durability of the Pelton turbine.

The test results show that the higher the speed, the greater the centrifugal force generated, as indicated by the increased radial distance of the ball from the axis of rotation. This research contributes as a practical learning tool to understand the working principles of governors and their applications in mechanical control systems.

ANALYSIS OF SAVONIUS TURBINE BLADES WITH ANGLE VARIATIONS USING FEA SIMULATION IN SOLIDWORKS

2025-08-21T19:53:33+07:00

The global energy crisis and the need for renewable energy sources have driven the development of wind turbine technology, one of which is the Savonius type turbine. This study aims to analyze the effect of blade angle variations on the structural strength of the Savonius turbine using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method in SolidWorks software. Blade models with angles of 0°, 5°, and 10° were analyzed using ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) material, with evaluation parameters in the form of maximum stress, total deformation, and strain. The simulation results show that the 10° blade configuration produces the most optimal structural performance, with a maximum stress of 61.43 MPa, a maximum displacement of 9 mm, and a maximum strain of 0.002. Compared to the 0° and 5° blades, this configuration shows a more even distribution of stress and strain, thus minimizing load concentration at critical points. Although all configurations produce stresses exceeding the elastic limit of ABS material (±45 MPa), the 10° blade is still recommended as the best design alternative from the aspect of load distribution and structural integrity, with the note that materials with higher mechanical strength are required for practical applications.

2025-08-23T14:09:54+07:00

Preoperative anxiety is a common psychological response experienced by patients before undergoing surgery, including caesarean sections. This emotional condition can lead to negative physiological effects, increased surgical risk, and delayed recovery. Pharmacological treatments are often used but may cause side effects, making them less ideal for long-term or preventive use. In contrast, non-pharmacological therapies offer safer, more holistic alternatives that support both physical and emotional readiness for surgery. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of various non-pharmacological interventions in reducing anxiety among patients scheduled for caesarean section. A literature review was conducted by analyzing journal articles published between 2019 and 2024, obtained through Google Scholar, and Publish or Perish. After screening based on relevance, language, content, and publication year, six full-text articles were selected. The analysis revealed that guided imagery, music therapy, lemon verbena aromatherapy, and murottal Qur'an recitation significantly reduced preoperative anxiety. These interventions also showed beneficial physiological outcomes, such as reduced heart rate and blood pressure. Meanwhile, methods like chewing gum and listening to Mozart music showed minimal or no significant effect on anxiety levels. These findings highlight the potential of integrating non-pharmacological techniques into standard preoperative care, particularly in obstetric settings. The therapies are practical, low-cost, and adaptable to cultural and spiritual contexts, supporting the development of holistic and patient-centered healthcare strategies.

This research aims to design, build, and conduct initial effectiveness tests of a Smart Ring as a non-pharmacological technological innovation to help relieve anxiety. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with a Waterfall model approach to the implementation stage. The trial was conducted through an initial case study on a student (N=1) who was identified as experiencing situational anxiety. Data was collected using the STAI-6 instrument to measure state anxiety before and after using the tool, supported by qualitative interviews to obtain user experience feedback. The results of the case study showed that the use of Smart Ring consistently lowered participants' anxiety scores in five different stress-inducing situations, with a score difference of between 4 and 8 points. The most significant decrease (8 points) occurred when participants faced the highest level of anxiety, i.e., during the final project proposal seminar. These preliminary findings present evidence that Smart Rings have the potential to be a functional and effective tool for the modulation of momentary anxiety, with a mechanism of action that can be explained through Attention Control Theory.

DEMOCRACY WITHOUT ALTERNATIVES: ELECTORAL HEGEMONY, VOTER RESISTANCE, AND THE REPRESENTATION CRISIS IN THE SINGLE-CANDIDATE ELECTION OF MAROS REGENCY

2025-09-04T20:25:08+07:00

This study analyzes the 2024 local election (Pilkada) in Maros Regency, which featured only a single candidate pair, as a critical case reflecting the crisis of local democracy in Indonesia. Utilizing a transcendental phenomenological approach and thematic analysis of qualitative data, this research explores the formation of electoral hegemony, manifestations of voter resistance, and the crisis of representation in a non-competitive political setting. The total consolidation of political parties in support of the incumbent, absence of leadership regeneration, and high rates of blank votes and abstention reflect a weakening of pluralism and a substantive democratic deficit. Findings reveal that voters are not apathetic, but instead engage in symbolic political expression by supporting the blank column and forming independent volunteer movements. The blank column functions as a channel of resistance against a system lacking representative options, while grassroots movements embody alternative forms of civic engagement in constrained democratic spaces. This study evaluates minimalist, maximalist, classical, and institutional theories of democracy to understand the tension between procedural legality and substantive legitimacy. While the election complied with legal frameworks, the absence of competition and declining participation undermines political representation and electoral credibility. The key implication of this study is the urgent need for systemic reform of local political institutions, including nomination rules, party internal democratization, and civic education focused on empowerment. The Maros case illustrates not only a stagnation of local democracy but also the transformative potential of civil resistance. Institutional reform and the revitalization of representative channels are essential to restore democratic integrity and legitimacy at the subnational level in Indonesia.

POVERTY OR ECONOMIC STAGNATION? ASSESSING THE DUAL ROLE OF SOCIAL ASISSTANCES IN JAVA

2025-09-04T20:42:11+07:00

This study aims to identify the factors that affect the structural transformation of individuals on the island of Java, including the role of education, technology, access to credit, and the condition of basic needs. This study also analyses the influence of structural transformation on the risk of poverty and extreme poverty. It evaluates the extent to which government social protection programs can encourage structural transformation while reducing poverty. The novelty of the research lies in the use of a simultaneous approach of two micro-outcomes, the transformation of the employment sector and the risk of extreme poverty, to test whether social assistance only acts as a consumption protection or can also be a catalyst for more inclusive, productive, and sustainable village development. The analysis was carried out by multinomial logistic regression using SUSENAS 2022 data, with an analysis unit of 352,646 individuals on the island of Java. Dependent variables include structural transformation and extreme poverty levels, while independent variables include conditions of meeting basic needs and government programs. The results of the study show that individual structural transformations on the island of Java still face complex dynamics; Significant internet use is driving a shift to the non-agricultural sector, while savings, education, telephone, and cooperative credit tend to retain individuals in the agricultural sector. Structural transformation has not been significant enough to reduce the risk of extreme poverty. However, it can reduce the probability of individuals being in the poor category, thus requiring a risk mitigation strategy that is integrated with strengthening the productive economy. Therefore, social protection programs need to be designed more progressively, focusing on improving digital skills, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and graduation mechanisms in order to function as a catalyst for individual economic mobility towards a more productive and sustainable sector.

Workforce agility was found to serve as a moderating variable that strengthens the effect of work motivation on employee performance but weakens the effect of employee engagement on employee performance. These findings suggest that in the dynamic context of start-up environments, workforce agility plays a crucial role in enhancing the effect of work motivation on employee performance, while it may diminish the impact of employee engagement. Future research is recommended to consider additional variables such as organizational culture, job satisfaction, or work stress.

2025-09-10T21:12:42+07:00

This study aims to analyze the level of efficiency in implementing the Output Cost Standard (OCS) at the Witness and Victim Protection Agency using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). DEA analyzes the efficiency levels of input and output variables in the application of OCS in supporting the implementation of Performance-Based Budgeting at the Witness and Victim Protection Agency for the years 2023-2025. The input variables examined in this study are budget realizations based on SBK, broken down by type of expenditure, while the output variables used in this study include performance achievements or output realizations generated by work units. This study was conducted in two stages, with the first stage using a quantitative method to measure the level of efficiency in the implementation of SBK with DEA based on Constant Return to Scale (CRS). The second stage was conducted to develop strategies for improving the efficiency of SBK use using a qualitative method, namely through FGD or Focus Group Discussion. The results of the study show that the implementation of SBKK at the Witness and Victim Protection Agency is already quite efficient, with an average efficiency value approaching 1 (one). There are two SBKKs that have been implemented efficiently and provide optimal output improvements, namely, SBK for Witness and Victim Application Receipt and Review Services and SBK for Witness and Victim Rights Fulfillment Services for Corruption and Money Laundering Crimes. Meanwhile, there are six SBKKs that have not been implemented efficiently, namely the SBKK for Services for the Fulfillment of the Rights of Witnesses and Victims of Terrorism Crimes, the SBKK for Services for the Fulfillment of the Rights of Witnesses and Victims of Serious Human Rights Violations Crimes, the SBKK for Services for the Fulfillment of the Rights of Witnesses and Victims of Trafficking in Persons Crimes, SBKK Services for the Fulfillment of the Rights of Witnesses and Victims of Crimes of Violence Against Women and Children, and SBKK Services for the Fulfillment of the Rights of Witnesses and Victims of Other General Crimes. Based on the results of the efficiency measurement, the strategies that need to be implemented to improve the efficiency of SBKK implementation in supporting performance-based budgeting include the formulation and readjustment of more detailed and segmented cost standards based on regional and local conditions, the development of SBK based on case type and intensity, education and change in the perception of budget users, and the strengthening of regulations and institutions.

SEA LOVE MONTH: INNOVATION IN HANDLING PLASTIC WASTE IN THE SEA THROUGH THE FISHERMAN PARTICIPATION MOVEMENT

2025-09-10T21:14:40+07:00

Marine pollution caused by plastic waste is a serious threat to the sustainability of Indonesia’s marine and fishery resources. As the largest archipelagic country, Indonesia faces major challenges in controlling the influx of plastic waste into the ocean, most of which originates from land-based human activities. In response, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) launched the Sea Love Month (Bulan Cinta Laut or BCL) program in 2022 as an innovative initiative based on fishermen’s participation in tackling marine plastic pollution. This movement supports the national target of reducing marine debris by 70% by 2025, as mandated by Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2018. BCL emphasizes the active involvement of fishermen in collecting plastic waste during fishing activities, while also strengthening public awareness and education in coastal communities about the importance of maintaining ocean cleanliness. This program is part of MMAF’s blue economy policy, which promotes a pentahelix collaboration approach involving government, business sectors, academia, communities, and media. As of 2024, BCL has reached 54 coastal locations across Indonesia, involving more than 4,600 fishermen and successfully collecting over 1,000 tons of marine debris. With its community-based and sustainable approach, BCL serves not only as a marine pollution control initiative but also as a platform to foster collective awareness and social responsibility for the marine environment. The program demonstrates that synergy between government policy and grassroots action is essential to addressing the crisis of marine plastic pollution in Indonesia.
