Nationalism, Citizenship Identity, Public Opinion Construction, and Social Control in TribunNews Coverage of the LPDP Student Citizenship Controversy: A Framing Analysis Using Robert N. Entman's Model
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze how TribunNews constructs the controversy surrounding LPDP alumna Dwi Sasetyaningtyas regarding her child’s citizenship status and to identify the dominant framing patterns used in shaping public perceptions of nationalism, citizenship identity, and public opinion. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model. The data consisted of 16 purposively selected news articles published by the TribunNews network between 22–28 February 2026. Data were collected through digital searches, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using Entman’s four framing elements. To enhance research credibility, the study applied an audit trail, peer checking, and expert validation. Main Findings: This study extends the application of Robert N. Entman's framing model by identifying the dynamic evolution of media framing in a citizenship controversy. It contributes to communication and social science studies by demonstrating how media framing functions not only as a representation of events but also as a mechanism for constructing nationalism, citizenship identity, public opinion, and collective social norms. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is the first to examine TribunNews' framing of the LPDP student issue in the controversy over the citizenship status of children using Entman's model. This novelty expands the application of framing theory in the realm of sovereignty and national loyalty, which has never been studied before.

Extent of the Factors Contributing to the Dropout Rate of Mindanao Children’s Library Foundation Incorporated (MCLFI) Scholars
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: The study seeks to determine the extent of the factors contributing to the dropout rate of scholars at the Mindanao Children’s Library Foundation Incorporated (MCLFI) in Barangay Manongol, Kidapawan City, during the second semester of the academic year 2023–2024. It specifically aims to examine the influence of family, personal, academic, peer, and environmental factors on dropout cases. Furthermore, it identifies the most common factor compelling MCLFI scholars to leave school and discontinue their educational pursuits. Methodology: A descriptive-quantitative design was employed to investigate the factors contributing to dropout. Fifty former MCLFI scholars were randomly selected as respondents. Data were gathered using a self-made survey questionnaire, validated by three research experts, covering family, personal, academic, peer, and environmental factors. Results were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure the extent of influence and determine the most prevalent reasons for scholar dropout. Main Findings: The results reveal that personal factors significantly influence scholar dropout, ranking highest among the categories measured. Issues such as lack of motivation, discipline, and self-related challenges hindered scholars from pursuing their education. On the other hand, environmental factors were identified as the least influential in shaping dropout decisions. Overall, the findings suggest that while external pressures matter, the internal struggles of learners exert greater influence on their persistence in completing academic requirements. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is distinctive as it focuses on dropout cases within a foundation-based educational program, the MCLFI, a context rarely explored in dropout-related literature. Most research on academic attrition emphasizes public and private schools, while this study highlights the struggles of scholars supported by a non-governmental organizatio…

Social Learning and Community Empowerment in Halal Certification: A Qualitative Study of P3H Mentoring at LP3H IAIN Bone
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study analyzes social learning processes and community empowerment, framing P3H mentoring as a form of social intervention that drives changes in MSMEs' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, through the transformation of halal certification awareness among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through Halal Product Process Assistance (P3H) conducted by the Halal Product Process Assistance Institution (LP3H) of IAIN Bone in Bone Regency, departing from the issue that increased access to halal certification programs has not always been followed by changes in MSME understanding and awareness regarding the substance of halal product assurance. Methodology: This study employs a descriptive-analytical qualitative approach with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, selecting informants via purposive sampling consisting of LP3H management, P3H assistants, and MSME actors, and analyzing data through reduction, coding, data display, and conclusion verification, with data validity tested through triangulation and member checking. Main Findings: The P3H assistance takes place through four stages: preparation, pre-certification, data input and field verification, and post-certification, driving a shift in MSME awareness across cognitive, affective, and conative aspects from viewing halal certification as an administrative obligation toward seeing it as an instrument for consumer protection and business development, supported by the SEHATI program, proactive assistance approaches, and religious-economic motivations, while hindered by low digital and legal literacy, data security concerns, and SIHALAL system constraints. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a distinct novelty by examining the transformation of awareness in resolving the specific phenomenon of 'cultural halal', the deep-rooted community belief that food produced by fellow Muslims inherently guarantees halal status without formal …

Integrating Hikmah Values into Sustainable Housing Development: Evidence from Muslim Communities in Bone Regency, Indonesia
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study examines how hikmah (Islamic wisdom) is implemented in housing property development among Muslim communities in Bone Regency, how sustainable housing development is realized in that context, and how hikmah strengthens community perceptions of sustainable housing. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive field research design was used. Ten purposively selected informants (residents, a developer, a housing-association representative, government officials, and an academic) were studied through semi-structured interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation, analyzed with NVivo 12 using coding, data display, conclusion drawing, and source/technique triangulation. Main Findings: Hikmah operates at conceptual (economic, environmental, social, spiritual) and operational (institutional governance, area planning) levels. Sustainability experienced by residents is predominantly social and spiritual rather than ecological or financial, with places of worship acting as a centripetal force. Community perception strengthens through consistent realization of developers' promises rather than normative rhetoric, though a regulatory vacuum and conceptual-standardization gap persist. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study proposes a Hikmah-Based Property Development Model that integrates four dimensions of hikmah as a contemporary maqāṣid al-shariah framework applied to housing, extending the Brundtland sustainability definition and SDG 11 with a spiritual-community pillar not previously articulated in sustainable-housing literature.

Pre-Service Teachers’ Political Conversations on Social Media: Marites–Makabayan Interpretations for Social Studies Education
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study explored how Filipino pre-service teachers experience and interpret political conversations on social media, distinguish Marites-oriented from Makabayan-oriented discourse, and understand the implications for civic learning, integrated social science education, and their future responsibilities as social studies teachers. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive design was used with eleven second-year pre-service teachers from the College of Teacher Education at President Ramon Magsaysay State University, Castillejos Campus, during the academic year 2025–2026. Individual audio-recorded interviews were conducted through Google Meet or face-to-face according to participant preference and convenience, using an expert-reviewed semi-structured guide. Audio-checked transcripts were manually coded and analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase procedure, followed by expert theme review and participant member checking; reported English translations were checked by a language expert. Main Findings: Four themes were developed: political talk as everyday digital exposure; participation as selective and emotionally negotiated; distinguishing Marites from Makabayan discourse; and social media as informal civic learning. The themes indicate learning outcomes involving political awareness, reflective participation, source verification, evidence-based judgment, perspective-taking, respectful dialogue, and responsible digital participation. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study advances a culturally grounded Marites–Makabayan framework for examining the credibility, tone, ethics, evidence, and public purpose of online political discourse. As a context-sensitive continuum rather than a fixed binary, the framework contributes to integrated social science education and digital civic pedagogy—teaching that connects interdisciplinary analysis with source evaluation, civic online reasoning, ethical dialogue, and the preparation of future…

Analysis of the Effects of Firm Size and Net Income on Stock Prices With Earnings Per Share as a Moderating Variable in Energy Sector Companies
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to determine the effect of firm size and net income on stock prices, as well as to test whether earnings per share can serve as a moderating variable in the relationship between these two variables and stock prices. Methodology: This study employs a quantitative approach with a sample of 66 financial statements from energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis with the aid of IBM SPSS software to test the influence and moderating effects among the variables. Main Findings: The results of the study indicate that firm size has no effect on stock prices, whereas net income has a positive effect on stock prices. Furthermore, earnings per share does not moderate the effect of firm size on stock prices or the effect of net income on stock prices; therefore, it does not serve as a moderating variable in this study of companies in the energy sector. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study reexamines the effects of firm size and net income on stock prices, with earnings per share serving as a moderating variable, in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2024–2025 period. It aims to evaluate the moderating role of earnings per share and provide updated empirical evidence on these relationships.

type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine how network governance explains workforce training employability at BBPVP Makassar by synthesizing regulatory, statistical, institutional, and scholarly secondary data on vocational training, labour-market transition, actor coordination, and graduate employment outcomes in South Sulawesi. Methodology: This article uses qualitative secondary data analysis. The data corpus consists of Permenaker No. 6/2025, BPS labour-market publications, BBPVP Makassar public information, OECD, ILO, and WEF reports, and peer-reviewed literature. Data were organized in Microsoft Word and Excel through document review, source triangulation, coding, and thematic synthesis. Main Findings: The secondary evidence indicates that employability is shaped by more than classroom-based training. BBPVP Makassar requires an integrated network with industry, local government, employment services, certification bodies, schools, instructors, alumni, and digital labour-market information. Coordination, trust, resource exchange, programme integration, and tracer-based performance measurement are central conditions for reducing skill mismatch and strengthening graduate transition into work. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study contributes a secondary-data-based network governance reading of vocational training in Makassar. It links labour-market indicators, vocational-training regulation, employability theory, and network governance dimensions into an analytic framework that can guide later field research, tracer studies, and policy evaluation at BBPVP Makassar.

description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital innovation in EduTech platforms in improving elementary students' cognitive understanding and socio-environmental behavioral intention, comparing EduTech-based learning with conventional methods within an Education for Sustainable Development framework. Methodology: This study used a quantitative quasi-experimental Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design involving 50 fourth-grade students (25 experimental, 25 control) at UPTD SD Inpres Oelmasi, selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using validated comprehension tests and Likert-scale questionnaires, then analyzed using N-Gain scores, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene's homogeneity test, Mann-Whitney U test, and rank-biserial correlation (effect size). Main Findings: Both groups showed improved post-test scores, but the experimental group using EduTech achieved a higher mean N-Gain than the control group. Shapiro-Wilk and Q-Q plot results indicated non-normal data distribution, so hypothesis testing used the Mann-Whitney U test (U = 169.5, p < .05), confirming a statistically significant difference favoring EduTech. The rank-biserial correlation (r = .445) indicated a moderate practical effect, demonstrating EduTech's meaningful contribution to students' understanding of social and environmental sustainability.. Novelty/Originality of this study: Unlike prior studies that mostly focus on general academic achievement or specific subjects, this study specifically evaluates EduTech's effectiveness in supporting integrated social and environmental sustainability learning at the elementary level. By empirically testing the Connectivism theory and TPACK framework together, it extends evidence on early-age digital pedagogy for Education for Sustainable Development and offers practical guidance for teachers implementing ESD-based digital learning strategies.

type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to explore how halal certification and Muslim-friendly attributes shape destination image and influence tourists' visit intention in Surakarta, while examining how halal tourism contributes to social learning, cultural education, and the strengthening of local identity through tourism experiences. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving tourism managers, government representatives, tourism business operators, and tourists. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña with NVivo 12 software and validated through source triangulation, method triangulation, and member checking. Main Findings: The findings reveal that halal certification enhances tourists' trust by reducing uncertainty regarding tourism products and services, while Muslim-friendly attributes improve travel experiences and strengthen destination image. Beyond influencing visit intention, halal tourism also promotes social learning by increasing visitors' understanding of local cultural values, religious practices, and community traditions. The interaction between tourists and local communities contributes to cultural preservation, intercultural understanding, and the reinforcement of local identity within the tourism environment. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study extends halal tourism research by integrating Signaling Theory, Social Learning Theory, and Heritage Education to explain halal tourism as both a destination development strategy and a medium for social education. It demonstrates that halal certification and Muslim-friendly attributes not only enhance destination image and visit intention but also foster cultural literacy, strengthen local identity, encourage intercultural interaction, and support community-based learning in cultural tourism destinations.

type: item
description: Purpose of the Study: This study explores how managers facilitate informal workplace learning within Cambodia’s sub-national administrations. It examines the managerial practices, workplace conditions, and organizational factors that support employee learning and development and contribute to organizational capacity within decentralized public-sector organizations. Methodology: A qualitative exploratory design was employed to examine managers’ experiences of facilitating informal workplace learning within Cambodia’s sub-national administrations. Data were collected through 14 semi-structured interviews involving 16 managerial participants, including governors, deputy governors, administrative directors, deputy administrative directors, and office chiefs across multiple levels of sub-national administration. Interviews were conducted in Khmer, transcribed, translated into English, and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Main Findings: Four interrelated dimensions of managerial facilitation of informal workplace learning were identified: structuring opportunities for learning, creating supportive learning climates, developing employee capability through work participation, and managing organizational constraints affecting learning. The findings demonstrate that managers play a central role in creating learning-supportive workplace environments that foster employee development and strengthen organizational capacity within Cambodia’s sub-national administrations. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study provides an empirically grounded framework of managerial facilitation of informal workplace learning within a decentralized public-sector context. It advances workplace learning research by introducing Constraint-Adaptive Learning Facilitation as an emerging conceptual proposition and demonstrates how workplace learning can strengthen employee capability, organizational capacity, and public service effectiveness.

type: item
description: Purpose of the Study: This study examines the influence of healthcare worker performance on patient satisfaction at Masohi Regional General Hospital, Central Maluku Regency, by positioning hospital care as a public service interaction shaped by social relations, patient perceptions, communication, and trust. Methodology: This study used a quantitative explanatory design. Data were collected from 50 patients through accidental sampling using a structured questionnaire measured with a five-point Likert scale. Validity and reliability testing, simple linear regression, t-test, and coefficient of determination analysis were conducted using statistical software. Main Findings: The findings show that healthcare worker performance has a positive and statistically significant influence on patient satisfaction. This result indicates that patient satisfaction is not only a managerial indicator, but also a social expression of trust, perceived fairness, respect, responsiveness, and the quality of interaction between citizens and public service providers. In a regional public hospital, timely service, empathy, clear communication, and professional behavior shape patients' experiences of access, dignity, and confidence in public institutions. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study contributes to social science and public administration literature by interpreting patient satisfaction as a social outcome of public service relations rather than merely a medical service indicator. It provides contextual evidence from a regional public hospital in eastern Indonesia, where resource limitations, post-pandemic pressures, and unequal access shape patient experiences and expectations.

Social Dynamics of Collaborative Management in Coastal Conservation: Community Participation in Negeri Lima, Central Maluku
type: item
description: Purpose of the Study: This study aims to analyze collaborative management in coastal conservation programs in Negeri Lima, Leihitu Subdistrict, Central Maluku Regency, by examining how planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, and controlling functions are practiced through multi-stakeholder participation. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation review, and literature study. Fifteen informants were selected purposively from Harmoni Alam Indonesia, village government, marine and fisheries authorities, environmental organizations, and community members. Data were analyzed through reduction, display, thematic interpretation, and verification. Main Findings: The findings show that collaborative management strengthened stakeholder interaction, shared responsibility, and community involvement in coastal conservation. Planning and organizing created clearer program direction, while commanding and coordinating encouraged collective action. However, unequal participation, limited technical capacity, weak communication mechanisms, and non-standardized monitoring reduced the depth of collaboration. These conditions reveal that conservation is not only ecological work but also a social process involving power relations, trust, local knowledge, and institutional learning. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study contributes by applying Henri Fayol's classical management functions to analyze collaborative coastal conservation in a small-island village context. It offers a socio-managerial perspective that links stakeholder participation, community agency, and coastal governance, thereby enriching studies on collaborative management in coastal societies.

Digital Public Services and Community Access: Effectiveness of the Digital Village Application (DIGIDES) in Waiheru Village, Ambon City
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Digital Village Application (DIGIDES) in improving administrative public services, service access, citizen participation, and community satisfaction in Waiheru Village, Baguala District, Ambon City. Methodology: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving village officials, the application operator, and community beneficiaries. Data were analyzed through reduction, display, verification, and interpretation based on public service effectiveness indicators. Main Findings: The findings show that DIGIDES has improved service accuracy, administrative efficiency, population data management, and transparency for village officials and digitally capable residents. However, its community-level use remains limited because of uneven digital literacy, inadequate socialization, operator dependency, and unstable internet connectivity. These constraints affect service access, restrict citizen participation, and create uneven changes in village governance: residents who are digitally literate benefit from faster services, while older residents, low-literacy groups, and people with limited internet access remain dependent on face-to-face assistance. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study combines effectiveness analysis with a social impact perspective by treating village digitalization not merely as a technological innovation but as a public service process that shapes inclusion, access, participation, and relations between village officials and citizens.

Work Environment Conditions and Their Influence on Employee Performance within a Public Service Organization: Evidence from the Ambon City Environmental and Waste Management Agency
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the effects of physical and non-physical work environments on employee performance at the Ambon City Environmental and Waste Management Agency and to measure the magnitude of their partial and simultaneous influences on work outcomes. Methodology: This quantitative study employed structured questionnaires as research instruments, a survey method, and multiple linear regression analysis. Data were processed using IBM SPSS Statistics software. Respondents were all employees of the Ambon City Environmental and Waste Management Agency, selected through a census technique, and measured using Likert-scale items. Main Findings: The results show that the physical work environment significantly affects employee performance, while the non-physical work environment also has a positive and significant influence. Simultaneously, both variables strongly predict performance levels. Regression coefficients indicate that non-physical aspects contribute more dominantly, and the model explains a substantial proportion of performance variance among employees in the organization. These findings highlight the importance of improving workplace conditions in public sector institutions to enhance the quality of public service delivery and organizational responsiveness to community needs. Furthermore, a supportive work environment contributes not only to employee productivity but also to broader social welfare by enabling government agencies to perform their public duties more effectively. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers new empirical evidence from eastern Indonesia’s municipal environmental sector by integrating physical and non-physical workplace factors with integrity-related organizational issues. It advances existing knowledge by providing context-specific data for public agencies managing sanitation services and by supplying a practical model for targeted workplace improvement policies.

Public Policy Evaluation of Free Health Social Security: Social Equity, Governance, and Access in Maluku Province
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study evaluates the implementation of the free public health insurance program managed by the Maluku Provincial Health Office, focusing on policy performance, social equity, governance capacity, and access for low-income and vulnerable communities in an archipelagic setting. Methodology: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a public policy evaluation design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Informants were selected purposively from health officials, program administrators, and beneficiary communities. Data were analyzed through data reduction, thematic categorization, data display, conclusion drawing, and source triangulation. Main Findings: The program reduces financial barriers and improves formal access to health services for disadvantaged groups. Administrative performance is relatively effective, particularly through same-day activation and interagency verification mechanisms. However, fiscal limitations, uneven health infrastructure, data governance problems, weak information dissemination, and geographic fragmentation across islands continue to limit substantive equity. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a theory-based evaluation of provincial-level health insurance implementation using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation framework. It explicitly links effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy to welfare state theory, social protection, distributive justice, decentralized governance, and spatial access in an archipelagic region.

Constructing Political Reality in International Crisis: Media Framing of Donald Trump’s 48-Hour Ultimatum on the Iran-US/Israel Conflict
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the social construction of political reality regarding the Iran–United States/Israel triadic conflict in Indonesian online journalism, specifically examining how media framing of Donald Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum shapes public risk perception and global moral accountability. Methodology: This study employs a descriptive-interpretive qualitative design utilizing Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis model. The data sources comprise representative news articles harvested from diverse Indonesian digital news platforms, including state-owned, market-driven, and independent networks. Data were systematically collected through non-participant observation and purposive digital screening, followed by text categorization based on Entman’s four diagnostic functions: problem definition, causal diagnosis, moral judgment, and treatment recommendation. Main Findings: The findings indicate that Indonesian online media generally transformed the military ultimatum into a broader social reality of global economic crisis centered on the Strait of Hormuz. Ideological variations significantly dictated the framing: market-driven platforms simplified crisis causality by placing explicit blame on Iran to amplify economic anxieties, whereas state-owned and independent media maintained institutional neutrality by balancing multi-actor political justifications. These structural variations confirm that media acts as an ideological apparatus that packages moral judgments, heavily governing public empathy and civic consciousness toward foreign crises. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to communication sociology and social science by shifting from static bilateral conflict analysis to a multi-actor geopolitical triad during an acute escalation point. It uncovers the institutional maneuvering of media in a major Muslim-majority nation trapped between global economic dependencies, Islamic solidarity, and diplomatic neutrality, pr…

The Influence of Public Service Quality in the Health Sector on Public Satisfaction at the Lateri Village Community Health Center, Baguala District, Ambon City
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the effect of public service quality in the health sector on community satisfaction as service users at the Lateri Village Community Health Center, Baguala District, Ambon City. From a public administration perspective, healthcare services are positioned as an integral part of public service delivery, which constitutes the government’s responsibility in fulfilling citizens’ basic rights and in promoting responsive and accountable governance. Methodology: A quantitative explanatory design was employed using simple linear regression analysis. Data were collected from 80 service users through a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. Service quality indicators were adapted from established healthcare quality frameworks and reinterpreted within a public service governance perspective. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS after validity, reliability, and classical assumption testing. Main Findings: The findings indicate that public healthcare service quality has a positive and significant effect on community satisfaction. Improvements in accessibility, efficiency, humane interaction, and service reliability contribute to more favorable citizen evaluations of public service performance. These results suggest that service quality functions not only as an operational standard but also as a governance mechanism that shapes public trust and institutional legitimacy at the local level. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides empirical contributions to the development of public administration by integrating health service quality dimensions into a public service analysis framework. It enriches the social science literature, particularly in the study of public service quality and community satisfaction in primary healthcare services. Furthermore, the study offers practical implications for improving the performance of public sector organizations, especially Community Health Centers (Pus…

Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 50 patients who received services at Puskesmas Rumah Tiga during the research period. Respondents were selected using accidental sampling, based on their availability at the time of data collection.The questionnaire measured three variables: facilities and infrastructure, health workers’ competence, and community satisfaction. All items were assessed using a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS to determine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on community satisfaction. Main Findings: These findings make an important contribution to social science by demonstrating how the quality of physical resources and the competence of health workers shape community perceptions of public services. From a social and policy perspective, the results underscore the need for simultaneous investment in infrastructure and human resource development to enhance health service performance, strengthen public governance, and promote inclusive social development through responsive and citizen-oriented service delivery Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study provides empirical evidence from a primary healthcare center in Ambon City, Maluku Province. Research examining similar variables has mostly been conducted in western Indonesia, particularly in Java and Sumatra. Studies focusing on eastern Indonesian urban contexts remain relatively limited.The findings highlight the importance of improving both service facilities and staff competence to enhance community satisfaction. For local health administrators and policymakers, the results suggest that efforts to strengthen infrastructure …

Teaching and Advocating Green Skills for Students as Social Agents: Sustainability Education Practices of Public-School Teachers at the Secondary Level
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: The study explores how public secondary teachers teach and advocate green skills for students, highlighting the need for promoting sustainable living and economies in the future. Methodology: Using the descriptive-survey design of quantitative research, eighty-six (86) teachers in public secondary schools in a province in the Philippines are surveyed using a questionnaire with a validity index of 0.98 (excellent) and reliability index of 0.962 (excellent). The gathered data are then analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Main Findings: The findings show that public secondary school teachers emphasize immersive, participatory, and interdisciplinary learning when teaching green skills into their classroom practices, revealing the importance of green skills as integral soci-environmental competencies. However, they still need to provide holistic and comprehensive support for developing these skills outside of the classroom. To ensure a more thorough approach to fostering green skills in students, the curriculum can be enhanced to include sustainable development and environmental literacy, and teachers can get professional development to improve their ability to work with organizations and institutions. The study reveals a discrepancy between the actual teaching of green skills and their advocacy, calling for an intensive and sustainable approach to strengthening academic integration as well as sustainable community practice in green education. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study contributes to the body of knowledge by examining the extent to which teaching and advocating green skills can lead to improved teacher professional development initiatives and partnerships for sustainable development, thereby bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and practices.
