Writing is a fundamental language skill that supports students’ ability to communicate ideas, construct knowledge, and achieve academic success. However, many elementary school students continue to experience difficulties in generating ideas, organizing paragraphs, and expressing thoughts effectively in written form. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Think Talk Write (TTW) cooperative learning model on the writing skills of fourth-grade students at SDN 11 Sengkuang Bora, Melawi Regency, West Kalimantan. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 22 fourth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected through writing tests administered before and after the implementation of the TTW model. Students’ writing performance was assessed based on content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and a paired-sample t-test with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics Version 27. The results revealed that students’ mean writing score increased from 62.77 in the pretest to 77.95 in the posttest, indicating an improvement of 15.18 points. The normality test confirmed that both datasets were normally distributed, with significance values greater than 0.05. Furthermore, the paired-sample t-test produced a significance value of 0.000, which was lower than the 0.05 significance level. These findings indicate that the Think Talk Write learning model had a significant positive effect on students’ writing skills. The study concludes that TTW is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing elementary students’ writing achievement by promoting active thinking, collaborative discussion, and structured writing practices.

Ethnopedagogical Learning Management Based on Banten Culture: An Innovation for Strengthening Early Childhood Character through the Integration of Digital Portfolios

2026-05-10T09:02:25+07:00

The limited integration of local cultural values into early childhood education management has raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of character development programs in increasingly globalized societies. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an ethnopedagogical learning management model based on Banten local culture integrated with digital portfolios in strengthening early childhood character. A quantitative approach employing a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was utilized. The study involved 130 children aged 4–6 years from several kindergartens in Banten Province, Indonesia, who were assigned to experimental and control groups. The intervention was implemented through a structured learning management model that incorporated local cultural values into planning, implementation, assessment, and stakeholder collaboration processes, while digital portfolios were used to document and monitor children's developmental progress. Data were collected using validated observation instruments measuring three dimensions of character development: discipline, empathy, and independence. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, independent sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). The experimental group achieved a high effectiveness category with an average N-Gain score of 0.75, compared to 0.32 in the control group. The results indicate that the integration of ethnopedagogical principles and digital portfolio systems contributes not only to improved character development but also to more culturally responsive and sustainable educational management practices. The study highlights the potential of culture-based learning management as a strategic approach for strengthening children's character while preserving local cultural identity in the digital era.

Negotiation of Tradition and Modernity Practices and Meanings of Marriage Beliefs in the Mangir Community, Bantul

2026-05-09T10:36:01+07:00

This study examines the persistence and transformation of marriage beliefs within the Mangir community of Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in the context of increasing modernization and social change. While modernization is often associated with the decline of traditional practices, local marriage traditions in Mangir continue to influence decision-making and social behavior across generations. This research aims to explore how marriage beliefs are maintained, legitimized, and negotiated within contemporary social contexts. A qualitative case study approach was employed to investigate the experiences, interpretations, and practices of community members. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving traditional leaders, village officials, married community members, and younger-generation residents. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of qualitative analysis consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that marriage beliefs persist through the interaction of collective memory, personal experience, family socialization, and traditional authority. Practices such as petungan (auspicious day calculations), ngalang (ritual detouring), restrictions associated with Wednesday Pon, and post-marital residential norms function as culturally embedded mechanisms for managing uncertainty and preserving social harmony. The study further demonstrates that younger generations do not simply reject traditional beliefs but actively negotiate them through adaptive strategies that accommodate modern educational, occupational, and mobility demands while maintaining cultural legitimacy. These findings suggest that tradition and modernity are not mutually exclusive but coexist through continuous processes of cultural adaptation and reinterpretation. The study contributes to broader discussions on cultural resilience, community-based risk management, local wisdom, and the sustainability of traditional institutions in contemporary society.

Determinant Factors of E-Learning Adoption in Higher Education: A Systematic Review and Contextual Study of PEGASUS at Palembang Tourism Polytechnic

2026-05-09T10:03:21+07:00

The rapid digitalization of higher education has increased the importance of understanding the factors that influence e-learning adoption, particularly within vocational and tourism-oriented institutions. This study aims to identify and synthesize the key determinants of e-learning adoption in higher education and to contextualize these findings for the implementation of the PEGASUS platform at Palembang Tourism Polytechnic. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Relevant studies published between 2015 and 2025 were retrieved from major academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. A total of 47 eligible studies were selected and analyzed using thematic synthesis. The findings reveal that e-learning adoption is influenced by four interconnected dimensions: technological, individual, social, and organizational factors. Individual factors emerged as the most influential determinants, with performance expectancy and effort expectancy identified as the strongest predictors of adoption. Technological infrastructure, accessibility, and system quality were found to be essential enabling conditions, while social influence and institutional support significantly shaped users’ acceptance and continued use of e-learning systems. The review also highlights the unique challenges faced by tourism education institutions, where practical training, experiential learning, and interpersonal skill development limit the effectiveness of fully online learning environments. Consequently, blended learning is identified as the most suitable approach for tourism higher education. The study concludes that successful e-learning adoption requires not only technological readiness but also organizational capability, strategic leadership, and continuous capacity building. These findings provide practical insights for strengthening digital transformation initiatives and optimizing the implementation of PEGASUS at Palembang Tourism Polytechnic.
