The Application of Inquiry-Based Learning Model to Improve High School Students' Speaking Skills: A Qualitative Descriptive Study in Klaten Regency

2025-11-26T04:05:07+00:00

This study aims to describe the application of the Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) model in improving the speaking skills of high school students in Klaten Regency. The background of this study is based on the low speaking skills of students in Indonesian language learning, which is still dominated by lecture methods and does not provide enough space for students to express themselves. The research approach used was qualitative descriptive with the research subjects consisting of one Indonesian language teacher and six 11th grade students at a public high school in Klaten Regency. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the application of the IBL model through five main stages—orientation, question formulation, exploration, explanation, and reflection—successfully created an active, collaborative, and communicative learning atmosphere. Students became more courageous in expressing their opinions, thinking critically, and arguing logically. In addition, IBL helped foster language ethics, self-confidence, and structured speaking skills. Factors supporting the successful implementation of this model included the role of the teacher as a facilitator, a conducive learning environment, and learning topics that were relevant to students' lives, while obstacles included shyness, differences in speaking abilities among students, and limited learning time. Overall, this study concludes that the Inquiry-Based Learning model is effective when applied to Indonesian language learning to improve the speaking skills of high school students in Klaten Regency because it is able to harmoniously integrate cognitive, affective, social, and linguistic aspects.

Transformation of Traditional Literary Values in Students’ Attitudes and Behavior

2025-11-26T04:05:20+00:00

This study aims to analyze the transformation of traditional literary values into the attitudes and behaviors of school students. Traditional literature, as part of the nation’s cultural heritage, contains moral, ethical, social, and religious values that are highly relevant to shaping the character of the younger generation. However, globalization and the rapid development of information technology have diminished students’ appreciation of traditional literary works. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of learning documents. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validation conducted through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that integrating traditional literature into Bahasa Indonesia learning and extracurricular activities can instill values such as mutual cooperation, respect, responsibility, and honesty in students. Changes were evident in improved discipline, mutual respect, and active participation in school social activities. This study recommends strengthening a local wisdom-based curriculum to enhance character education through traditional literature.

Local Wisdom-Based Education in Indonesian School

2025-11-26T04:05:28+00:00

Local wisdom-based education is an essential approach to addressing the challenges of globalization, which often erodes national cultural identity. This study aims to describe the implementation of local wisdom-based education in schools, analyze its benefits, and identify the obstacles encountered in practice. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of teachers, students, and community figures directly involved in local wisdom-based educational practices. The findings indicate that local wisdom-based education is implemented through curriculum integration, local content subjects, and extracurricular activities rooted in local culture. The core values instilled include cooperation, deliberation, social responsibility, environmental awareness, and appreciation of cultural traditions. These practices positively influence students’ character formation, enhance self-confidence, and strengthen the relationship between schools and local communities. However, several challenges remain, such as teachers’ limited competence in delivering culture-based learning, the scarcity of culturally relevant teaching materials, and the dominance of global popular culture that tends to attract students more than their local traditions. This study recommends several strategic steps: strengthening the curriculum with local wisdom integration, improving teacher capacity through training, providing regulatory and resource support from the government, and encouraging active community involvement in school programs. With strong collaboration among schools, government, and society, local wisdom-based education can serve as a sustainable strategy to build young generations who are of strong character, globally competitive, and firmly rooted in their cultural heritage.

Globalization and Cultural Exchange

2025-11-26T04:04:28+00:00

The worldwide integration process has established transnational education as an essential instrument for cultural sharing and international unity. This paper examines how transnational education supports globalization and international relations through its ability to spread knowledge and promote cultural understanding and diplomatic power. The study demonstrates through case examinations of Fulbright Program and Erasmus+ and Confucius Institutes and international branch campuses that education serves as a diplomatic instrument to build trust between states and societies while creating lasting networks. The research reveals ongoing issues with elitist accessibility and Western-centric educational programs and potential neo-colonial practices which prevent equal participation and mutual benefit. The analysis suggests that policy modifications should broaden educational opportunities while strengthening South-South relations and digital inclusion and intercultural education components. The solutions to these problems will enable TNE to develop into an inclusive instrument which strengthens cultural exchanges between nations and supports cooperative international relations during global interdependence.

Advancing Sustainability through Strategic Design Management in Architecture

2025-11-26T04:05:35+00:00

Sustainability has evolved from a supplementary consideration in architecture to a central pillar of design practice, particularly within leading global firms. This paper examines the convergence of sustainable strategies and design management processes across innovative architectural practices, focusing on case studies of Foster + Partners, ZGF Architects, and Haptic Architects. These firms represent diverse application contexts: desert urbanism in the Middle East, adaptive reuse in Sydney, and government renovation projects in North America. By analyzing their design approaches, performance metrics, and project outcomes, the study highlights how sustainable integration is not just a technical exercise but also a managerial and cultural challenge. Design management emerges as a necessary driver of success, harmonizing the creative ambitions of designers, the pragmatic expectations of clients, sustainability certification frameworks, and measurable performance outcomes. The cases reveal that sustainability thrives when interdisciplinary collaboration is strategically managed, when advanced digital tools are utilized to track and simulate outcomes, and when life-cycle perspectives define the design process from conception to occupancy.

The paper further interrogates challenges including cost barriers, technological uncertainty, and inconsistent regulatory frameworks, emphasizing that sustaining innovation requires long-term engagement, iterative learning, and a client culture oriented toward environmental responsibility. As architecture confronts the climate crisis, design management is positioned not as an administrative backdrop but as a transformative methodology that aligns creative vision with environmental necessity. The research concludes by identifying strategies of replicability across firms and contexts, suggesting pathways for global best practices and advancing discourse toward sustainable architectural paradigms for the 21st century.
