This study aims to analyze the role of environmental education in shaping responsible consumption patterns among university students. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with several students from different faculties who were involved in environmental-based activities such as green campus programs and environmental education courses. The results show that environmental education plays a significant role in increasing environmental awareness and encouraging behavioral change toward sustainable consumption. Students who participated in environmental learning activities demonstrated greater awareness in reducing single-use plastic, conserving energy, and choosing eco-friendly products. However, some respondents argued that the impact of environmental education is limited when it remains theoretical and lacks practical implementation. The findings emphasize that the effectiveness of environmental education depends on the integration of theory, practice, and supportive campus culture. Therefore, universities should strengthen environmental education through experiential learning, environmental campaigns, and sustainable campus facilities to foster students’ environmental responsibility and long-term sustainable behavior.

Penelitian ini membahas bagaimana mahasiswa memandang peran Pendidikan Pancasila dalam memperkuat pemahaman Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) dan prinsip keadilan sosial dalam sistem pendidikan Indonesia. Melalui pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif, studi ini menelusuri persepsi mahasiswa terhadap relevansi nilai-nilai Pancasila, khususnya sila kedua dan kelima, dalam membentuk karakter, kesadaran kritis, serta sikap inklusif dalam lingkungan akademik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa menilai Pendidikan Pancasila tidak hanya sebagai mata kuliah normatif, tetapi juga sebagai sarana pembentukan etika sosial, penghormatan terhadap martabat manusia, dan penguatan kepekaan terhadap ketidaksetaraan sosial. Namun demikian, mahasiswa juga melihat adanya tantangan berupa kurangnya metode pembelajaran yang kontekstual, sehingga nilai-nilai HAM dan keadilan sosial belum sepenuhnya diinternalisasi secara mendalam. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan model pembelajaran berbasis dialog, studi kasus, serta integrasi isu-isu sosial aktual agar Pendidikan Pancasila semakin relevan dan berdampak bagi generasi muda.

Knowledge must be managed effectively to facilitate transfer between individuals, groups, and organizations. The Informatics Engineering study program currently lacks a system for knowledge management. Currently, the study program facilitates offline discussion forums for the sharing of knowledge gained by lecturers and students. These offline discussion forums require significant costs, time, and space, often resulting in delays in knowledge sharing. This research focused on the analysis and design of a Knowledge Management System to meet the needs of Informatics Engineering students at Universitas PGRI Madiun. The system development method used was the Knowledge Management System Lifecycle (KMSL). In this study, the TIF KMS system using the KMSL method has been successfully built. The results of testing using the Blackbox Testing method showed that 5 scenarios and 18 cases were successfully executed as expected with a 100% success rate. Based on the system test results, the TIF KMS is ready to proceed to the implementation stage. Future implementation can be done by developing additional features such as a digital library

This  study explores the motivational factors that encourage students from Kudus who are studying at UIN Walisongo Semarang to join KMKS (Keluarga Mahasiswa Kudus Semarang), a regional student community that serves as a social and emotional support system for migrant students. Increased mobility in higher education often places migrant students in situations requiring significant academic, social, and cultural adjustment, making social support and a sense of belonging critical. Guided by McClelland’s theory of needs, this research aims to identify how the need for achievement, affiliation, and power is reflected in students’ experiences as members of KMKS. This study employs a qualitative phenomenological approach involving five participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that students primarily join KMKS to fulfill strong affiliative needs, such as seeking social connectedness, emotional comfort, familiarity, and a supportive environment among peers from the same region. Additionally, participation in KMKS contributes to personal development, including increased confidence, improved communication skills, and readiness to take organizational responsibilities. The needs for achievement and power appear indirectly through involvement in committees, leadership roles, and contributions to organizational development. KMKS also functions as a crucial coping resource, helping students reduce stress, loneliness, and adaptation difficulties. The implications of this study highlight the importance of regional student communities as a meaningful support system for migrant students, emphasizing their role in facilitating adaptation, strengthening social identity, and fostering personal growth.

This study aims to analyze the role conflict experienced by PGSD (Elementary School Teacher Education) students at the University of Riau between academic and organizational activities, as well as to examine its impact on students’ self-development. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 30 active students engaged in both academic and student organization activities. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire based on three dimensions of role conflict proposed by Greenhaus and Beutell (1985): time-based, strain-based, and behavior-based conflicts. The results show that the level of role conflict among PGSD students is categorized as moderate, with an average score of 64.61. This indicates that most students are able to balance academic and organizational roles, although they face challenges in time management and role pressure. Furthermore, role conflict contributes positively to self-development, as students enhance their time management, responsibility, leadership, and communication skills. Therefore, role conflict can serve as a learning medium if managed adaptively. This study recommends that universities provide training in time management and organizational guidance to help students achieve a balanced integration between academic and extracurricular commitments.
