Authors: Khairunnisa Rifdah Yuri , Hartanti Dwi
Published: February 2025

Peraturan Otoritas Jasa Keuangan No. 51/POJK.03/2017 requires public companies to publish a Sustainability Report to the Financial Services Authority and public disclosure. The Sustainability Report functions to respond to challenges in fulfilling sustainability strategies, intended to motivate companies to take advantage of opportunities and mitigate risks so that they can meet stakeholder expectations. Materiality has a fundamental role in the development and preparation of Sustainability Reports. Regulations in the European Union have made it mandatory to apply double materiality as an approach to disclosing material topics in sustainability reporting, which is regulated in Directive (EU) 2022/2464. Double materiality is based on identifying material issues from two perspectives: environmental and social materiality (outward impact) and financial materiality (inward impact). This research aims to analyze the initial application of the double materiality approach to the Sustainability Report 2023 of companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in the energy sector (IDXENERGY) and the basic material sector (IDXBASIC). Researchers conducted content analysis on companies registered on the Indonesian Stock Exchange which are classified in the energy sector and basic material sector based on the Indonesia Stock Exchange Industrial Classification or IDX-IC. The results reveal the voluntary implementation of the double materiality approach in several companies in the energy sector and basic material sector. This research also shows the suitability of the selection of sustainability topics in the report with the GRI Standards for the oil and gas sector (GRI 11), coal sector (GRI 12) and mining sector (GRI 14).

Authors: Kerebungu Ferdinand , Sakka Senden , Salem Veronika E. T. , Fathimah Siti
Published: February 2025

This research delves into the social status competition observed in Tondon Matallo. The primary focus of the competition revolves around the pricing and quantity of buffaloes purchased and slaughtered during this significant ceremony. Notably, the acquisition of a substantial number of buffaloes, often involving significant financial investment, does not necessarily alter individuals' social status. Consequently, the study aims to elucidate the dynamics of social status competition and identify the factors influencing it in North Toraja, employing Lewis Coser's conflict theory. Adopting a qualitative research methodology. The findings show that social values that previously focused on aspects of togetherness are now prioritised. The rambu solo becomes the main stage for economic competition. The dynamics of social interaction have become more structured and focused on aspects related to competition, creating relationship dynamics that are different from everyday situations. Perceptions of social status that were previously influenced by age, wisdom or positive contributions to the community, are now more related to the financial ability to purchase and slaughter buffalo, creating a shift in perceptions of what is considered prestigious and contributes to social status. As such, social values that previously focussed on aspects of togetherness have shifted during the rambu solo ceremony creating a new perspective on how cultural change can affect community dynamics. This reflects an evolution in the values recognised and valued by the community during such special events.

Published: February 2025

For years, the residents of Rupat Island have been involved in economic activities in Malaysia. The border area has undergone many changes in recent years, especially in the Rupat Island region. This study aims to analyze policies based on the economic activities of the community on Rupat Island. The research method used is qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, and secondary data was obtained from documentation held by Unit Pengelola Pelabuhan (Port Operator). Research findings indicate that the commodities produced by the people of Rupat Island are mostly sold to neighboring Malaysia, particularly fresh fish catches from the sea. This occurs due to the relatively high selling price compared to the prices in Dumai or its surrounding areas. In addition to marine products sold to Malaysia, rubber from plantations has also become a commodity exported to the neighboring country. The community engages in this practice with the hope of achieving a higher selling price than if they were to sell in the local market. The people of Rupat Island are currently consuming many Indonesian products, especially staple food items, to meet their basic needs. This is different from before the improvement of road infrastructure and the operation of the roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) passenger and cargo ferries that began in 2011. Sustainable development policies and programs are needed so that the community can feel the impact of development and empowerment. The development of roads and bridges, the enhancement of economic growth in the primary and secondary sectors, as well as the provision and management of transportation infrastructure and facilities, aim to improve accessibility and the quality of regional infrastructure to facilitate the smooth flow of economic activities for the community.

Comparison of Alternative Approaches to Lesson Study
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Byoung-Wan , Chang In-Sil
Published: February 2025

Objectives This study compared and analyzed five alternative approaches to lesson study: instructional consulting, instructional coaching, lesson study of learning community, viewing lessons through students' eyes, and instructional criticism.
Methods This study employed a literature review method to compare five alternative approaches to lesson study. A systematic comparative analysis was conducted using four key criteria: the purpose of the lesson study, the focus of observation, the relationship between the observer and the teacher, and the recording method. The analysis was based on a thorough examination of the theoretical foundations, prior studies, and practical cases of each approach.
Results The alternative approaches to lesson study share a common emphasis on fostering teacher reflection, with a particular focus on students' learning rather than external standards or the teacher's instructional behavior. Observation records predominantly adopt qualitative formats suited to qualitative research, moving away from quantitative checklists, and prioritize pre- and post-reflection documents. These approaches are characterized by horizontal relationships between lesson observers and teachers, avoiding hierarchical structures. Regarding the differences among the approaches, instructional consulting promotes a more horizontal relationship compared to traditional instructional supervision, while instructional coaching further reinforces this dynamic. The lesson study of learning community approach emphasizes comprehensive observation, while the “viewing lessons through students' eyes” method prioritizes detailed qualitative recording, centering on the students' perspective rather than the teacher's.
Conclusions This study highlights the need for reforms in public lesson observation practices and instructional consultation processes, as well as enhancements in the formats of lesson observation records.

The collected data were analyzed using content analysis, which involved a process of reading the data together, initial categorization, repeated readings, secondary recategorization, expert review, and final category confirmation.
Results The analysis of the participant observation journals revealed that the pre-service early childhood teachers' learning about early childhood mathematics education was categorized into four themes: 1) “Mathematics beyond activities, embedded in children's everyday lives,” 2) “Mathematics approached with confidence and joy, breaking away from the prejudice that it is difficult,” 3) “Mathematics with teachers and peers, as important as play materials,” and 4) “The deepening of mathematics through the encounter between texts and the preschool classroom.”
Conclusions Through field observations, pre-service early childhood teachers gained a comprehensive understanding of the objectives of early childhood mathematics education, the role of young children as active participants in mathematics, approaches to teaching mathematics, and the importance of teachers and the learning environment. The study suggests that meaningful learning for pre-service teachers occurs through experiences that immerse them in the context of children's lives, engage their senses, and enable them to actively respond to changing situations.

Objectives This study aimed to identify latent profiles of career development competency among general high school students and examine the effects of individual and school-related factors on these profiles, along with differences in academic-related psychological characteristics such as school life satisfaction, autonomous learning motivation, self-directed learning, and academic self-efficacy.
Methods Using data from the 2023 Career Education Status Survey for elementary and secondary schools conducted by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (KRIVET), a latent profile analysis (LPA) of career development competencies among general high school students was performed utilizing SPSS 26.0 and Mplus 8.8. Furthermore, to examine the factors influencing profile classification and differences in dependent variables while accounting for classification errors, the three-step approach proposed by Vermunt (2010) was employed.
Results The analysis revealed three distinct profiles of career development competency: “low competency group” (30.8%), “moderate competency group” (48.0%), and “high competency group” (21.2%). Each group exhibited differences in components such as job understanding, optimism, and communication. Key influencing factors included the presence of a desired career, level of educational aspirations, satisfaction with school career activities, and parental communication. Additionally, higher levels of career development competency were significantly associated with greater satisfaction with school life and improved academic-related variables.
Conclusions This study holds significance in systematically evaluating career development competency in high school students and providing foundational data for designing tailored career education programs. It emphasizes the importance of satisfaction with career activities and advocates for individualized career education that reflects the needs of students.

Objectives This study aims to explore the effects of group art therapy on the self-expression and positive peer relationship experiences of children with borderline intellectual functioning.
Methods The study was conducted at Y Alternative School in Seoul, targeting 10 children identified as showing borderline intellectual functioning. Among them, 4 participants who consistently attended therapy sessions were selected. The group art therapy was conducted over 16 sessions, once a week for 90 minutes, from August 23, 2023, to December 18, 2023. The participants were divided into two groups, each led by two therapists, including the principal researcher. The sessions involved discussions with the teachers and parents of the participants, art therapy activities, and observational records. Qualitative analysis was performed on the collected data through content analysis and thematic interpretation.
Results The results revealed that the program facilitated changes in emotional expression, communication, and peer interactions during the therapy process. Moreover, the children displayed positive shifts in attitudes towards self-expression and relationships with peers. The study identified noticeable progress in their ability to build positive peer relationships and enhanced self-expression capabilities.
Conclusions The findings confirm the effectiveness of group art therapy for children with borderline intellectual functioning in fostering positive developmental experiences in self-expression and peer relationships. This study suggests the possibility of developing new forms of therapeutic programs tailored to the needs of this population.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the degree of harm form patient safety incidents in the intensive care units(ICUs) of general hospitals.
Methods Using patient safety report data from 2021 to 2023, a total of 668 cases were analyzed after excluding those with missing data from the reports in the ICUs of general hospitals. Descriptive statistics, Cross-tabulation analysis and multinomial logistic regression were conducted using the SPSS 26.0 program.
Results The degree of harm among patient safety incident was as follows: non-harm events 50.1%, adverse events 37.9%, and sentinel events 12.0%. Factors influencing adverse events among patient safety incidents were infections, injuries, and medications. Factors influencing sentinel events were medical equipment and instruments, medical supplies, treatments, procedures, surgeries, and medications.
Conclusions To prevent patient safety incidents in ICUs of general hospitals, it is necessary to develop and implement patient safety education programs, secure skilled nursing staff, and make efforts to improve ICU facilities and the environment.
