Indonesian female migrant workers in Hong Kong face complex psychological challenges due to their dual roles as breadwinners abroad and family caretakers in their home country. This dual burden often leads to stress, work–family conflict, and a lack of future orientation after returning home. This community service program aimed to enhance stress management skills, goal setting, and economic independence through an integrated training based on Participatory Action Research (PAR). The program involved 33 female migrant workers from Indonesian community groups in Hong Kong. The activities consisted of three main components: (1) stress management training based on psychoeducation and Islamic approaches, (2) goal-setting training using SMART principles, and (3) basic entrepreneurship training. Evaluation was conducted using a pre-test and a post-test to measure changes in stress levels, understanding, and stress management abilities. The results indicated a significant decrease in stress levels and improvement in participants’ understanding and coping skills after the training. Furthermore, participants demonstrated higher motivation to plan for the future and to develop small-scale entrepreneurial initiatives. These findings highlight that the PAR-based training effectively strengthens psychological resilience, self-reliance, and emotional well-being among female migrant workers. This model is recommended for replication and sustainable implementation to empower Indonesian migrant worker communities abroad.

Twenty-first-century education requires learners not only to achieve academic proficiency but also to be socially, morally, and environmentally responsible. STEM approaches are proven to enhance cognitive skills, yet they often neglect spiritual and value-based dimensions, limiting their contribution to sustainable learning. This study aims to analyze the concept and implementation of Spiritual-STEM (IS-STEM) for sustainable learning, focusing on teachers ’ understanding, classroom practices, and the dual impacts on students ’ cognitive and affective development. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the PRISMA model. Articles were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, SpringerLink, MDPI, Taylor & Francis, Wiley Online Library, covering the period 2019-2025. A total of 412 articles were identified, of which 21 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using data extraction and thematic synthesis. The review found that IS-STEM served as a bridge between technical competencies and the internalization of spiritual values. Common pedagogical approaches include Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Engineering Design Process (EDP), and Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI). Findings indicate dual benefits: cognitive improvement (conceptual understanding, systems thinking, and problem-solving) and affective development (environmental awareness, social empathy, and moral orientation). Integrating spirituality into STEM strengthens a holistic and sustainable education paradigm. IS-STEM is highly relevant for Muhammadiyah schools and adaptable to global contexts, balancing modern scientific literacy with spiritual development. Further research is recommended to test IS-STEM ’ s effectiveness empirically and to develop valid instruments for evaluating the spiritual dimensions of learning.

The use of online games among elementary school children is increasing as digital technology advances. This phenomenon raises concerns about its impact on children's social and emotional development. This study aims to analyze the effect of online gaming intensity on social and emotional development, as well as the partial effect on emotional development via social development among elementary school students. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method and data collection using questionnaires, involving 250 students selected through proportional random sampling. The data in this study were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS)-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that the intensity of online gaming had a positive but low effect on social development, suggesting a tendency toward social problems. The intensity of gaming also significantly affects emotional development, including increased anger and difficulty managing feelings. In addition, social development has a significant effect on emotional development and acts as a mediator. These findings emphasize the need for family and school guidance in the healthy use of online games.

This study was motivated by the low collaboration skills and learning outcomes in social studies subjects, which are attributed to monotonous learning methods and the underutilization of digital learning media. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the "Journey to Merdeka" educational game integrated with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing students’ collaboration skills and learning outcomes. Employing a mixed-method research and development (R&D) approach, this study involved 8th-grade students from three junior high schools in Brebes Regency. Key stages included product design, validation, testing, and analysis using statistical techniques such as Wilcoxon and N-gain tests. Findings show a significant increase in collaboration skills—students categorized as "very good" rose from 10.81% to 97.30%—and improved learning outcomes, with an N-gain score of 0.6213 (moderate effectiveness). The results confirm that the educational game is valid and well-received, and effective in supporting active learning, problem-solving, and collaborative engagement in social studies.

This study aims to implement the differentiated Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in Sociology learning to develop students' creativity and social awareness regarding various social issues within the school environment. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon of students' low social concern toward their surroundings, such as the lack of response to students with special needs, those with chronic diseases, and common social problems in the school community. This research employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, involving two classes: an experimental class and a control class at SMA Negeri 1 Mojotengah. Research instruments included creativity tests, social awareness questionnaires, observation sheets, and project documentation. The data analysis results showed a significant increase in students' creativity and social awareness in the experimental class compared to the control class, as indicated by a t-test significance value of p < 0.05. These findings confirm that the application of differentiated PjBL can enhance students' active participation in addressing social issues within the school and foster caring and creative characters in line with the Merdeka Curriculum demands.

The escalating smartphone usage (SU) among Junior Secondary School (JSS) students necessitates rigorous investigation of its multifaceted impacts on social skills (SS), communication skills (CS), and student well-being (SW), particularly through the lens of mediation and moderation analysis that current studies have overlooked. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the impact of SU on SS, CS, and SW, considering the mediating and moderating roles of related variables. The research design utilized a survey and a cross-sectional approach involving JSC students in Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia (N=500). Data were collected using a questionnaire developed by adapting standardized instruments to measure SS, SW, CS, and SU, with validation through field trials. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to evaluate causal relationships and correlations between variables while testing the validity of the measurement model. The study results indicate that the variables SS and SW collectively have a significant impact on the increase in CS, accounting for 72% of the change. However, these two variables are less suitable for a direct relationship with SU, while SS, SW, and CS variables are involved. SS and SW are more appropriate when they have an indirect relationship with SU through CS, as indicated by high beta coefficients and correlation values (0.803). CS is a crucial intervening variable in understanding the indirect relationship between SU, SS, and SW. The findings highlight the theoretical importance of CS as a mediating variable in the relationship between SS, SW, and SU while offering practical insights for educators and policymakers to design interventions that enhance communication skills to positively influence students' smartphone usage patterns.

Indonesia has a high risk of geological disasters because its location is on the arc of plate movement. One of the main threats comes from Mount Merapi, an active volcano that often erupts, significantly impacting the surrounding community. This study uses the Participatory Geographic Information System (PGIS) approach to assess the community’s hazard, vulnerability and capacity on the slopes of Mount Merapi, Magelang. This locale-based mapping integrates three main variables to provide a more comprehensive risk picture. The results show that 80% of households are in the high to very high hazard category, with the main threat types being volcanic ash and hot clouds. Household vulnerability varied, with 44.4% in the low category and 16% in the high category, indicating the presence of a significant population that was particularly vulnerable. On the other hand, the capacity of the community is still unevenly distributed, with almost half of the population having a very low capacity. Local Spatial Knowledge (LSK) is essential in reducing disaster risk, including public understanding of natural signs, safe evacuation routes and tradition-based mitigation strategies. Contribution: The integration of LSK with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology strengthens the effectiveness of risk assessment, allowing for more accurate mapping and targeted intervention strategies. Public awareness of risks has grown significantly because of greater access to information enabled by digital technology, although local values still need to be preserved.
