This study aims to explore the relationship between creativity in learning resource design and the improvement of literacy and numeracy skills among students in the Kampus Mengajar Program, Batch 7. Specifically, the study seeks to: 1) identify the correlation between creativity in learning resource design and literacy, and 2) examine the relationship between creativity in learning resource design and numeracy. Employing a quantitative research design, the study uses a product-moment correlation method with a non-probability sampling approach, consisting of 30 students. Data were collected through a Google Forms questionnaire, and prerequisite tests, including normality and linearity tests, were conducted. Hypothesis testing was performed using a correlation test. The results reveal a statistically significant positive relationship between creativity in learning resource design and literacy (Sig. = 0.027 < 0.05), as well as between creativity in learning resource design and numeracy (Sig. = 0.019 < 0.05). These findings suggest that creative learning resource design developed by students in the Kampus Mengajar program plays a key role in enhancing both literacy and numeracy skills in schools. The study contributes to the understanding of effective teaching strategies within the Kampus Mengajar Program and highlights the importance of creative approaches in addressing educational challenges.

This study aimed to identify the best practices for promoting 22 science student teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in life science at a teacher preparation institution in southern Thailand. This action research followed a process of four stages: (1) plan, (2) act, (3) observe, and (4) reflect. Each cycle involved reflecting on the outcomes to revise and improve teaching practice. The research was conducted over 64 hours, through 11 lesson plans. Data were collected using post-lesson reports, semi-structured interview, lesson plans, students’ diaries, and classroom observations. Qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The study identified seven best practices for promoting science student teachers’ TPACK in life science: (1) surveying challenging life science topics, (2) building a clear understanding of TPACK, (3) demonstrating TPACK-based lessons, (4) designing and refining lesson plans with expert guidance, (5) engaging in microteaching and real-class teaching, (6) reflecting on teaching practices through self and peer evaluations, and (7) revising lesson plans based on feedback. These practices provide an effective framework for integrating technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge in life science.

This study explores the legal and policy dimensions influencing security, economic development, and education in the Indonesia-Malaysia border region, identifying key challenges and offering policy recommendations. Using a qualitative methodology and NVIVO 12+ software for data analysis, the research examines legislation documents, government reports, and policy frameworks to uncover significant gaps. The study reveals critical deficiencies, including underfunded educational institutions, inadequate healthcare facilities, and insufficient infrastructure, which hinder both human development and economic growth. For instance, many border villages face infrastructural deficits such as unpaved roads and unreliable electricity, limiting access to education and curbing local economic opportunities. The research also highlights the fragmentation of legal and policy frameworks, which often prioritize national security and macroeconomic goals over local needs, exacerbating socio-economic inequalities. Inadequate security measures further undermine regional stability, facilitating transnational crimes such as human trafficking and illegal trade. The study emphasizes the interconnectedness of education, infrastructure, security, and economic development, underscoring how deficiencies in one area adversely affect the others. This paper offers novel insights into border governance, proposing an integrated policy approach that aligns legal, economic, and educational objectives to foster sustainable development, enhance security, and promote regional cooperation. The findings provide valuable implications for policymakers seeking to improve governance in border regions facing similar socio-political challenges.
 

This study aims to find the relationship between prospective biology teachers' ethnicity and teaching skills to preserve indigenous knowledge in Indonesia. The research intervention integrates the Science Integrated Learning (SIL) model with NGSS dimensions in the teaching practices of prospective biology teachers. The method chosen was embedded experimental with a quasi-experimental design consisting of three stages: a qualitative stage before, a qualitative stage during, and a qualitative stage after the intervention. The research targets were 60 prospective science teachers in two different cluster universities, each with 30 prospective teachers. Interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data in the form of statistical test results. The analysis of the comparison test using the t-statistic model obtained a difference in the average score of microteaching practice of 0.3, with an average of the first practice of 2,613 with a standard deviation of 0.3024 and the second practice of 2,921 with a standard deviation of 0.3122. The second microteaching practice experienced an increase in scores from the first practice. The study concluded that prospective biology teachers' skills in preserving indigenous Indonesian traditional knowledge can be realized through the SIL Model integrated with NGSS.  The research results allow prospective teachers to utilize students' experiences as learning sources and hopefully can contribute on the development of prospective teacher education policies oriented toward preserving Indigenous knowledge in Indonesia.

There is a growing global consensus on the need to enhance product durability as a response to increasing concerns about waste and consumer rights. Modern equipment, including motor vehicles, farm and construction machinery, and consumer goods, has become more sophisticated, making repairs more complex and costly. Manufacturers often restrict access to repair manuals, software updates, and spare parts, or design products in ways that impede easy repair. This article examines the interconnected concepts of the right to repair, product durability, obsolescence, and consumer rights protection. The European Union (EU) has emerged as a leader in consumer protection initiatives, introducing comprehensive measures addressing the right to repair and product durability. These initiatives have been widely adopted, either fully or partially, by nations across the globe. This study analyzes the EU's key legislative and regulatory approaches, concluding that they are highly consumer-centric and provide a valuable framework for other jurisdictions. However, one critical area requiring further attention is product recycling. The article emphasizes that manufacturers, sellers, and recycling companies should be held accountable for managing their waste domestically, adhering to the highest workplace safety and environmental standards. Governments are encouraged to promote the reuse of products and establish systems that facilitate repair and reuse activities. Additionally, the authors advocate for an expanded research program to enable large-scale industrial recycling of consumer waste, ensuring a more sustainable and circular economy. This study highlights the importance of a holistic approach to addressing product durability and repairability, advancing global consumer and environmental interests.
