Citra Jalatarangga is a karawitan composition that is contextually inspired by the duality of freshwater and seawater springs found at Geger Beach. The duality embodied in this idea serves as the fundamental concept and is subsequently implemented in the formulation and structuring of Balinese karawitan performance techniques. This paper discusses the process of creating the work, the formal structure of the composition, and the aesthetic values contained within it. The karawitan composition Citra Jalatarangga employs three theoretical frameworks as analytical tools to describe the duality of the different water sources. Transformation theory is used to determine the form and structure of the composition, creativity theory serves as a reference in the creative process, and postmodern aesthetic theory functions as a guideline for applying aesthetic nuances to the work. The creative method used in the creation of Citra Jalatarangga is the Panca Sthiti Ngawi Sani method, which consists of five stages: the inspiration stage (ngawirasa), the exploration stage (ngawacak), the conception stage (ngarencana), the execution stage (ngawangun), and the production stage (ngebah). This work utilizes several instruments from the Gamelan Semara Dana as its expressive medium and is structured into three sections, each representing the duality of the water sources through different formulations and performance techniques. In addition, instrument arrangement, costume design, and lighting design also function as supporting aspects in the presentation of the work, which was staged at Wantilan Banjar Sawangan, Desa Adat Peminge.

The results demonstrate that the experimental group, which engaged in GeoGebra-assisted collaborative learning, showed a significant improvement of 27% in their post-test scores, compared to just a 6% improvement in the control group using traditional methods. The study highlights the effectiveness of GeoGebra in fostering a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematical functions by enabling students to visualize and manipulate graphs interactively. Additionally, collaborative learning encouraged peer interaction, reinforcing the learning process and promoting better problem-solving skills. The findings suggest that combining interactive tools like GeoGebra with collaborative learning techniques can enhance students’ mathematical comprehension, leading to improved engagement and performance in mathematics education.

Participatory village development planning is often treated as a technical-administrative routine. In practice, however, planning is inseparable from political dynamics that shape who participates, whose interests prevail, and how scarce resources are allocated. This community empowerment program (PKM) in Kedung Udi Village, Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency, East Java, aimed to strengthen village governance by enhancing the capacity of village officials and community representatives to design and facilitate participatory planning while explicitly addressing the political dimension of planning. The main intervention was a workshop conducted on 22 August 2025, preceded by coordination and situational observation. Workshop modules emphasized: (1) planning as a political decision; (2) navigating dual arenas: formal (Musdes/Musrenbang and RPJMDes, RKPDes, APBDes) and informal (elite networks and gatekeeping); (3) multi-level contestation and policy alignment; and (4) practical tools, including power–interest mapping, programmatic agreements, program tagging for alignment with district planning documents, and transparency/anti elite capture mechanisms. The program resulted in improved participant literacy regarding power relations in planning and produced a follow-up action plan oriented toward institutional advocacy, continuous social control, and routine capacity reinforcement through a university and village partnership.

This study examines the readiness of elementary school teachers to implement AI-based learning in the era of artificial intelligence, as technological advancements increasingly influence instructional practices in basic education. Despite the growing potential of artificial intelligence to support teaching and learning processes, empirical evidence regarding teachers’ preparedness at the elementary level remains limited. This study employed a descriptive quantitative research design involving 18 elementary school teachers. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of 15 Likert-scale items measuring technological skills, knowledge of artificial intelligence, attitudes toward AI, pedagogical readiness, and infrastructure support. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that the overall mean score of teachers’ readiness was 4.08, indicating that teachers are generally ready to adopt AI-based learning. Technological skills emerged as the strongest aspect of readiness, reflecting teachers’ familiarity with digital tools and instructional technologies, while infrastructure and institutional support obtained the lowest mean score, highlighting challenges related to facilities, access to technology, and policy support. These findings suggest that although elementary school teachers demonstrate positive readiness and attitudes toward AI-based learning, effective and sustainable implementation requires strengthened institutional support, improved infrastructure, and continuous professional development to maximize the educational benefits of artificial intelligence in elementary education.

The evaluation of Indonesian language instruction at the junior secondary level remains predominantly oriented toward lower-order thinking skills, thereby constraining the advancement of students’Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This situation necessitates the development of comprehensive assessment tools that are coherently aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. The present study introduces a model for constructing HOTS-oriented assessment instruments targeting procedural text writing in Phase D. The development process was systematically organized through several stages: translating learning outcomes into measurable indicators, preparing assessment blueprints, creating item cards, formulating scoring rubrics for attitudes, knowledge, and skills, and finally analyzing and interpreting the assessment data. These instruments were specifically designed to capture students’ analytical, evaluative, and creative abilities in producing procedural texts that are logical, coherent, and effective. Findings demonstrate that the instruments provide an objective and holistic representation of students’ competency attainment. In summary, the proposed HOTS-based assessment model for procedural text writing is practical, methodical, and contextually relevant, serving as a valuable framework for evaluating Indonesian language learning in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum principles.

Heritage language loss among immigrant and diaspora communities represents a critical challenge to cultural identity, intergenerational communication, and cognitive diversity. Traditional heritage language maintenance approaches face significant barriers including limited resources, lack of qualified instructors, geographic dispersion, and competing demands of dominant language acquisition. This study investigates the effectiveness of bilingual digital story applications as innovative tools for heritage language maintenance among children aged 4-12 years. Through a 24-month longitudinal mixed-methods study involving 1,843 families across eight language communities (Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Hindi, and Polish), we examined language proficiency development, cultural identity formation, family engagement patterns, and app usage behaviors. Quantitative analysis of pre- and post-intervention language assessments revealed statistically significant improvements in heritage language vocabulary (effect size d=0.68), listening comprehension (d=0.54), and oral production (d=0.47) among children using bilingual story apps for at least 20 minutes daily. Qualitative findings from parent interviews and child focus groups highlighted the apps' role in making heritage language learning enjoyable, facilitating parent-child interaction, connecting children to cultural narratives, and normalizing bilingualism. However, effectiveness varied substantially based on app design features, with interactive elements, culturally authentic content, parent involvement scaffolds, and adaptive difficulty showing strongest associations with outcomes. This research demonstrates that thoughtfully designed bilingual story apps can serve as accessible, scalable tools for heritage language maintenance, though they function most effectively as complements to rather than substitutes for rich home language environments and community connections. The study contributes empirical evidence to inform app development, family language planning, and policies supporting linguistic diversity in increasingly globalized societies.
