The aim was to analyze the influence of organizational culture and self-concept on principal decision-making. The study population included all elementary school principals in Jagakarsa District, namely 62 people; the sample studied was 54 principals, selected using the Simple Random Sampling technique. Data were collected through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire, consisting of 24 statements for the organizational culture variable and 25 statements for the self-concept variable. Data analysis was conducted descriptively to describe the condition of organizational culture and self-concept of school principals objectively. The results showed that a positive organizational culture goes hand in hand with a good self-concept of school principals, thus supporting the creation of a conducive school environment. This finding emphasizes the importance of strengthening organizational culture as a supporting factor in the formation of a positive self-concept of school principals.
This study aims to examine the model of women's empowerment based on non-formal education through the Bunda Waste Bank Program in Bangun Rejo Village. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and document studies. Data analysis uses Miles and Huberman's interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, with data validity maintained through source triangulation and triangulation techniques. The results of the study show that the women's empowerment model in this program is studied using five stages, namely preparation, social mapping, planning, implementation, and evaluation. The main characteristic of the model lies in a participatory and contextual approach that allows women to be actively involved in the learning process and program management. This research shows that the Bunda Waste Bank Program can be an example of an adaptive, participatory, and sustainable community empowerment model.
This study aims to examine the role of the Brain-Based Learning model and students' self-confidence levels in influencing critical thinking skills in elementary school math lessons. The research uses a quantitative approach with a 2×2 factorial quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the study were fifth-grade students grouped based on the learning model they received as well as based on high and low self-confidence categories. Data were collected through critical thinking skill tests and self-confidence questionnaires, then analyzed using two-way analysis of variance. The research results show that applying Brain-Based Learning has a significant impact on students' critical thinking skills. Students' level of self-confidence also proves to contribute significantly to achieving these skills. Further analysis reveals an interaction between the learning model and self-confidence, indicating that the effectiveness of the learning model differs according to students' self-confidence characteristics. Students with high self-confidence achieve better results when engaging in BBL-based learning, while students with low self-confidence show better outcomes through cooperative learning of the STAD type. These findings suggest that the development of critical thinking skills is influenced by a mix of cognitive and affective factors.
This article examines consumer protection in cross-border e-commerce, focusing on Indonesia, Singapore, and China. The rapid growth of digital commerce across borders poses significant challenges for national legal systems in safeguarding consumer rights effectively. This study employs a normative juridical approach with qualitative-comparative analysis, exploring relevant legislation, policies, and law enforcement practices in the three countries. The findings reveal that Singapore has established the most comprehensive consumer protection legal framework, closely aligned with international standards. China utilizes a centralized regulatory model that emphasizes platform liability, resulting in stricter oversight of digital transactions. In contrast, Indonesia struggles with fragmented regulations, limited policy integration, and weak law enforcement, leading to less effective consumer protection in cross-border e-commerce. The study concludes that harmonizing international consumer protection standards and strengthening national law enforcement are crucial to addressing the challenges of cross-border e-commerce. Enhanced regulatory cooperation and improvedconsumer digital literacy are also necessary to ensure effective protection in digital markets
