The objectives of this research are to analyze the implementation of social science education learning and the construction of students' knowledge after participating in social science education learning activities using cultural eco-literacy approach. This research is a qualitative approach using a case study design, that focuses on analyzing curriculum content, learning activity, methods, and learning outcomes. This research involves 40 students and 4 teachers in social science education learning. Data were analyzed using Critical Discourse Analysis and Cultural Content Analysis. The important findings found in this research are 1) social science education learning is able to accommodate the importance of historical heritage preservation, which was originally considered as the weakness in social science curriculum content. Curriculum content strengthened by cultural eco-literacy and carried out using Direct Instruction Model leads to the dialogic social science education learning in the formation of students' knowledge related to cultural environment preservation. The results of learning showed that cultural eco-literacy approach works successfully and is compatible with new curriculum content in social science education learning; and 2) social science education learning which places eco-literacy as education successfully shapes students' understanding concerning representation, relation, and identity of historical heritage preservation. Students are able to think analytically and see critically that cultural environment preservation is everyone's responsibility that can be conducted collectively. It indicates the advanced thoughts about the impact of eco-literacy activity. The conclusion of this research is that eco-literacy as curriculum content, educational rationale, and learning activity has successfully led to more progressive learning in achieving the purpose of the formation of cultural environment preservation thought.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the influence of political knowledge on the political behavior of highly educated Muslim society in addressing political issues. This research used cohort-based quantitative method through data collection, interviews, and documentation. To collect information from respondents, this research used questionnaire to reveal their political knowledge levels and behaviors. Interviews towards respondents were also conducted to directly confirm the information in the questionnaire. This paper presents information that highly educated Muslims cannot always be invited to dialogue-based solely on political knowledge in understanding and responding to political issues but must be invited to understand through thinking channels outside of knowledge. There is another dimension that shapes the political attitudes of highly educated Muslims in Indonesia, in this case, the religious doctrine which is more dominant than knowledge. Thus, knowledge is not the main factor in controlling people's actions and attitudes, but only a small part of the accumulation of factors.

Schools in the United States are becoming increasingly multiculturally diverse; therefore, identifying a means to implement global citizenship effectively into the social studies curriculum is imperative. This qualitative case study sought to gain insight into the perceptions of pre-service teachers on global citizenship education in social studies. Twenty students were selected purposively for this study. Data were obtained from multiple sources, including open-ended semi-structured focus group interviews, classroom observations, discussion posts, and essay questions were analyzed. To increase the verisimilitude of the study, the researchers bracketed themselves and used member checking and outside readers. The findings of this study indicated that global citizenship should be incorporated by teachers for students to become culturally sensitive and to gain an awareness of global issues. As global citizens, students should possess the tools and resources to advocate for social justice, unity, and equity. Their knowledge of historical and current events, viewed through critical and analytical lenses, would expose the unjust/just and unfavorable/favorable outcomes and activities. Hence, this knowledge equips students with the wisdom to form economic, political, social, and environmental decisions to create a better world.

This paper aimed to assess improvements in content knowledge and argumentation quality of pre-service science teachers (PST) through a socio-scientific issues-based (SSI-based) module course. The study was designed as action research with 25 PSTs. Data collection instruments were an energy-related content knowledge questionnaire and video recordings. An energy-related content knowledge rubric was used to evaluate the content knowledge of PSTs, while their argumentation quality was analyzed using a video analysis inventory. The module course was completed in eight weeks. Findings showed that the SSI-based teaching modules course improved energy-related content knowledge with all PSTs increasing by a minimum of one criterion on the rubric. Although the number of arguments decreased weekly, the argumentation quality also increased. Thus, it can be inferred that SSI-based module teaching is a practical tool to teach energy-related content knowledge and argumentation qualities. The study suggests that action research can contribute to developing an effective learning environment. Further studies that include the actual practices of PSTs as they reflect and revise their learning are indicated.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of science teaching, based on the Common Knowledge Construction Model (CKCM), on cognitive and psychomotor learning in 7th -grade students. The study group consisted of 29 students from two public schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the 2018-2019 academic year. The study was carried out following a semi-experimental pre-test post-test control group research design. The data were collected with a &quot;Scientific Inquiry Skills Test,&quot; and a &quot;Psychomotor Skills Rubric&quot; (PSR) developed by the researchers. The PSR was used to evaluate the practice exam results of both groups. Data were analyzed with a standard statistics package. It was determined that the scientific inquiry skills post-test scores of the experimental group (X=15.87) were higher than the control group (X=10.92). The difference was observed to be significant. Also, a comparison of the total post-test PSR scores showed a statistically significant difference between the experimental (X=15.44) and control groups (X=13.30).

This research focuses on the legal basis for anti-corruption measures in Indonesia and Malaysia and touches upon aspects of enforcement. These two neighboring countries have different legal systems and, of course, their own unique characteristics. That said, these two countries also have many similarities in terms of culture, religion, geography, and social history, and both governments have implemented anti-corruption policies and made corruption a criminal offence. The impact on preventing and combating corruption in both countries has been different, however. In terms of international ratings, Indonesia is at a very high level of corruption, while Malaysia is at a moderate level. This study therefore aims to identify an effective legal basis for anti-corruption and law enforcement strategies that can prevent corruption. The study's methodology employed legal content analysis using a historical, jurisprudence, and comparative approach, with interviews and analytical methods also being critical. The study found that the legal basis for preventing corruption plays a strategic role in enforcing anti-corruption legislation. Thus, the implementation of prevention and the enforcement of anti-corruption laws have different effects. Two approaches for preventing and combating corruption were identified, namely the legal and non-legal approaches. The legal approach focuses on developing and enforcing criminal law with the support of the criminal justice system, and the two countries apply a similar approach here. The non-legal approach, meanwhile, introduces preventive enforcement policies, such as by establishing law enforcement agencies and special courts for corruption and improving public service facilities.

Retirement is considered an event that requires individual readjustment, so it can affect the psychological wellbeing of the elderly, especially for women. Better self-esteem can encourage individuals to respect themselves more, however, leading in turn to improvements in the dimension of psychological wellbeing. The aim of this study is to establish how self-esteem influences psychological wellbeing in elderly retired women. This study follows a randomized pretest and posttest, control group design. The research subjects were therefore divided into experimental and control groups, each comprising six people. The experimental group all received life review therapy, whereas the control group did not. All the subjects were elderly retired women with low-to-moderate levels of self-esteem and psychological wellbeing. The study used the Rosenberg self-esteem scale and the Ryff psychological wellbeing scale. Data analysis involved a non-parametric Wilcoxon analysis and the Mann-Whitney test. The results revealed that life review therapy improved self-esteem in the experimental group, and there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group, with the experimental group showing a significant increase in its posttest scores. The results also showed an increase in psychological wellbeing along with self-esteem. It was therefore concluded that life review therapy can improve the psychological wellbeing of elderly retired women in Indonesia.

Over the last decade, STEAM has been treated as a model of interdisciplinary integral education that facilitates solving social, ecological and economic problems related to technological development in different countries. STEAM education is most efficient when it is organised in early childhood education, thus increasing children's motivation to study and to link STEAM disciplines with their career, as well as to develop as engaged citizens. The conducted empirical research revealed the following new data on STEAM at an early age: a) early childhood teachers apply practices of STEAM education that target the development of children's soft (problem-solving, creativity, ability to learn, communication) skills more frequently and employ practices for nurturance of their hard (mathematical, technological, engineering) skills less frequently ; this imbalance is favourable for the development of a proactive and critically thinking child, who is able to make decisions in a responsible way, but it does not ensure the sustainable development of STEAM abilities; b) the application of innovative STEAM education practices has effects on teacher professional development; c) STEAM practices have a bigger integral impact on the development of 3-6 year-old children's competences through the teacher professional development rather than directly.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of the family in cultivating value for children. In addition, it is also used to analyze the effect of values on children's attitudes, beliefs and behavior in the family. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the role of value education in reducing stress levels. This research applies a combination of survey and qualitative research. Both approaches were chosen because when analyzing and understanding the process by which a family instills values in children, we cannot rely on written questions and answers--we also need structured interviews that can solicit data that would be unobtainable through surveys. This research was conducted in the city of Kediri over a 14-month period from January 2019 to March 2020, and it involved 300 informants. Results show that the key to successful value cultivation is indeed family. The family can act as a vehicle for the process of seeding and applying values. The cultivation of values, however, is not limited to the parents--it can extend to other adults who live with their children, such as grandparents. A well-internalized value can improve the welfare of all family members, and the process of instilling values in children can improve their attitudes. In addition, a child's self-confidence and behavior can also improve. Children can also exploit these internalized good values when dealing with stress.

This research explores the learning of Islamic Arabic literary works (&quot;Al-Adab Al-'Arabi&quot;) typical of &quot;Pesantren&quot; (Islamic boarding schools) and the role of Kyai in the cultural transformation of the teachings of piety in Arabic literature. This study used a phenomenological design and applied qualitative approach for the data analysis. The qualitative studies are focused on three research themes, namely (a) learning Arabic literature; (b) cultural transformation in &quot;pesantren,&quot; and (c) teaching &quot;pesantren,&quot; a qualitative approach that aims to understand cultural transformation in &quot;Pesantren,&quot; interpret the Arabic literature learning typical of the &quot;pesantren,&quot; interpret the behavior of &quot;Kyai&quot; and &quot;santri,&quot; and connect meanings based on empirical reality. This research was conducted by involving 20 Santris and 7 Kyaisat the Pesantren of Darussalam Ciamis and Pesantren Miftahul Huda II Bayasari as participants. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The data accuracy was checked by digging and collecting data from phenomena and contexts from the cultural transformation of the teachings of truth in a typical Islamic boarding school experienced by the students in accordance with their belief level. Researchers describe data in patterned language about what the individual has seen and felt. Furthermore, the fundamental integration of the collected data's descriptions into one statement is the essence of the Arabic literary learning experience in the scope of cultural transformation. The results showed that the students had the experience of learning Arabic literature typical of &quot;pesantren,&quot; which influenced their behavior. &quot;Kyai&quot; and center made Arabic literature as a way of life. Interestingly, these characteristics make Arabic literary works typical of &quot;pesantren&quot; capable of fostering a sense of language and literary sensitivity (&quot;Al-Tadzawwuq Al-Adabi&quot;), building character education for &quot;santri&quot; (students), encouraging the growth of &quot;tasamuh&quot; (tolerance) and culture. This finding would likely serve as a reference to increase the development of traditional &quot;pesantren.&quot; The government should support any efforts attempted to preserve Islamic culture by examining &quot;Pesantren&quot;-specific Arabic literature for the archipelago's Islamic community.

The existence of mono-loyalty in the simultaneous system of centralization and decentralization in Indonesia is used by the authorities to control the bureaucratic structure. Several problems occur in personnel management, however. The existence of mono-loyalty also has implications for regional employment patterns. The changes in staffing patterns are highlighted in the Regional Government of the East Java Province through the Staff Agency Bureau (BKD) of the East Java Province. The study's aim is to describe the staffing pattern of the Regional Government of the East Java Province and evaluate its effectiveness. This study follows a descriptive design with a qualitative approach, and observations, interviews, and documentation were conducted to feed into the data-analysis process. The results revealed a paradigm shift in organizing and conducting government bureaucracy, followed by changes in staffing patterns in local government. The regional government of East Java Province has adopted an integrated pattern, one that combines elements of centralization and decentralization. The use of this pattern follows the theory of effectiveness, but in its implementation, there is no risk management that guides the continuity of the pattern in achieving the stated organizational goals.

The focus of this qualitative study is upon 15 Grade 12 students situated in an English Communications (ECM) classroom in rural Nova Scotia and the impact a daily classroom circle had upon their academic engagement. ECM is intended for students who may require further support to develop their skills as readers, writers, and language users as they enter the job market or community colleges. There is no formal curriculum for ECM, and often the demographics of such classrooms are comprised of some of the province's most vulnerable populations. In this paper, we demonstrate the impact the daily classroom circle had upon late adolescents' understanding of themselves as thinkers with ideas to share. Overall, we see this study as significant for teachers in high-poverty contexts, particularly the importance of using a classroom circle as a consistent space to communicate elevated expectations for students who have experienced academic struggles.
