Evaluating and Reconceptualizing the Pancasila Student Profile: A Critical Analysis of Value Alignment and Character Education in the Merdeka Curriculum
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the validity of the Pancasila Student Profile as a character assessment framework by examining its alignment with the foundational values of Pancasila. Methodology: This qualitative study employed library research and limited field inquiry. Data were collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. The evaluation was conducted using qualitative content analysis based on four indicators: philosophical consistency, value representation, conceptual coherence, and educational applicability. Triangulation was used to enhance the credibility of the findings. Main Findings: The evaluation revealed that several core values of Pancasila, particularly humanity, unity, and social justice, are not explicitly represented in the current six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. The findings also indicate an overemphasis on project-based implementation. Based on these results, a five-value framework and an integrated character education model emphasizing internalization, habituation, and contextual application were developed. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces a conceptual evaluation framework for assessing the alignment between educational value constructs and national philosophical foundations. It offers a reconceptualized Pancasila Student Profile rooted in the original five principles of Pancasila and proposes an integrated model that extends character education beyond project-based learning toward sustainable value formation and assessment practices.

Artificial Intelligence for Science Learning: A Systematic Review of Self-Regulation and Conceptual Understanding
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study systematically reviews and synthesises the empirical literature on the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in science education, focusing specifically on how distinct AI features support the phases of students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) and the construction of conceptual understanding in science. Methodology: A qualitative systematic literature review reported in line with PRISMA principles was combined with bibliometric mapping. Peer-reviewed articles were retrieved from the Scopus and Sinta databases (2020–2026). Metadata and keyword co-occurrence were analysed using VOSviewer, followed by a thematic synthesis of 25 eligible articles structured around an AI-feature × SRL-phase × conceptual-understanding extraction matrix. Main Findings: AI research in science education has grown sharply since 2022. Intelligent tutoring systems, learning analytics, adaptive simulations, and generative AI predominantly scaffold the forethought and performance phases of SRL, enhance conceptual understanding, reduce misconceptions, and raise motivation through personalised interaction. Support for the self-reflection phase remains comparatively weak, evidence is concentrated in higher education, and longitudinal and developing-country studies are scarce. Novelty/Originality: The review advances an integrative framework that explicitly links specific AI affordances to individual SRL phases and to conceptual change in science, repositioning AI as a cognitive and metacognitive mediator rather than a content-delivery aid, and derives an evidence-based agenda that foregrounds the reflection phase, K–12 science, and Global South contexts.

The Relationship Between Social Support and Academic Stress Among Migrant University Students in Jakarta
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived social support and academic stress among migrant university students in DKI Jakarta, Indonesia. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative correlational design involving 386 migrant university students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Student Life Stress Inventory (SLSI) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Validity and reliability tests were conducted, followed by normality testing using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Because the data were not normally distributed, hypothesis testing was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. Main Findings: The results revealed a significant positive relationship between perceived social support and academic stress among migrant university students (r = 0.627, p < 0.05). The majority of respondents were categorized as having high levels of academic stress and high levels of perceived social support. The findings indicate that students reporting higher social support also tended to report higher academic stress. Novelty/Originality of this study: Previous studies generally reported that social support was associated with lower academic stress. In contrast, this study found a positive relationship between social support and academic stress among migrant university students in a metropolitan setting. The findings provide new insights into the psychosocial dynamics of migrant students and suggest that social support may coexist with heightened academic pressure in urban higher education environments.

From Campus to Corporate: Evaluating Industry Partnerships to Improve the BSOA Internship Program
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study evaluated industry partners and the implementation of the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) internship program from the perspective of interns, with the goal of identifying evidence-based priorities for program improvement. Methodology: An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was employed. Quantitative data were obtained from 70 BSOA interns from academic years 2022–2024 through total enumeration, followed by semi-structured interviews with 10 purposively selected interns using criterion-based maximum-variation purposive sampling. The survey instrument was adapted from a prior internship evaluation tool and contextualized to the BSOA practicum and CMO 104, series of 2017. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, and weighted mean, while qualitative interview data were coded thematically to explain the survey results. Main Findings: Interns rated collaboration and teamwork (4.33), regard for people (4.41), and work ethics (4.43) as excellent. Communication (4.18), decision-making and empowerment (4.06), and compliance with internship requirements (4.16) were rated very satisfactory. Time management (3.09) and low self-confidence (2.77) emerged as the most salient challenges, highlighting the need for clearer pre-deployment guidance, structured feedback, and continuous partner review. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study contributes a program-specific evaluation of internship quality in office administration education by integrating intern ratings of industry partnership quality, regulatory compliance, and encountered problems into a single improvement-oriented framework.
