Mar'atu Nafilah, Nasya Dinda Afrilla, Charmelia Nuraini

The purpose of this study is to examine how students' motivation to engage in volunteer work inside educational programmes is impacted by social responsibility and community involvement. Purposive sampling was utilised to pick 248 high school students as respondents in a quantitative study. The questionnaire instrument was created using theoretical measures of community involvement and social responsibility. It was then evaluated for construct validity using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and for validity using expert judgement. Cronbach's Alpha and McDonald's Omega coefficients were used in reliability tests. The findings demonstrated a multifaceted factor structure that identified cultural empathy, social justice orientation, and contextual awareness as important determinants of student volunteer motivation. The model demonstrated good explanatory power to the volunteer motivation variable (R2 = 0.998) and high reliability (α > 0.80). These results support the critical role that school-based social programmes and character education play in fostering prosocial behaviour in teenagers. In addition to serving as a foundation for the development of civic education curricula and policies, the created instrument offers a valid and accurate evaluation framework for gauging student volunteer motivation in educational settings.

mazaya tari karamina ariska

Abstract This study examines the interaction between student engagement, teacher immediacy, and English learning achievement among secondary school and university students in Cirebon, West Java. The urgency of this research lies in the high levels of English learning achievement, which negatively affect students’ learning performance. Using path analysis on data from 289 participants, the results show that teacher immediacy significantly mediates the relationship between student engagement and English learning achievement (indirect effect = 0.281, p < 0.05). The model accounts for 31.5% of the variance in English learning achievement (R² = 0.315). These findings highlight the crucial role of self-regulation and metacognitive strategies in reducing anxiety and enhancing learning effectiveness. This research supports the need for intervention programs that strengthen student engagement and teacher immediacy, particularly within the local educational and cultural context of Cirebon. Further studies are recommended to explore other contextual factors more deeply.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of EFL Learners’ Attitudes, Beliefs, and Practices Toward English Language Learning and Achievement

Valia Rachmawati, Ajeng Aliya Zahwa

This research investigates the psychometric properties of an instrument developed to assess Indonesian EFL learners' attitudes, beliefs, and practices (ABP) related to English language learning and achievement. The instrument was specifically crafted to capture cognitive, affective, and behavioral tendencies that may influence second language acquisition. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was utilized to examine the model’s construct validity and reliability. The findings revealed that the attitude and belief components showed adequate internal consistency, as indicated by acceptable values of Cronbach’s Alpha and Composite Reliability. Conversely, the practice construct displayed weaker reliability with several indicators contributing less substantially. Discriminant validity was supported through both Fornell-Larcker and HTMT assessments. While overall model fit was marginally below ideal thresholds, shortcomings were largely associated with the practice component. These insights highlight the necessity for further refinement of the instrument, especially for application in diverse sociocultural ELT contexts, and suggest directions for future research and instructional improvements.

SOCIAL SUPPORT AS A BUFFER AGAINST LONELINESS, STRESS, AND DEPRESSION IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Dhevina Tiara Dharmansyah, Delita Rosliana, Nazwa Zahira Shofa

This study aims to examine the role of social support as a protector against loneliness, stress, and depression in college students in Indonesia. The approach used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental method, involving 291 active students from various universities. The sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique, with the criteria being active students and willing to fill out the questionnaire online. The instrument was compiled based on the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping theory. (Schaefer et al., 1981)and this study was analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique through SmartPLS software. The results showed that stress had a significant effect on students' perceptions of social support, while loneliness and depression did not show a direct effect. This study supports the buffering theory(Brann et al., 2022), which states that social support has an effective role in the early stages of stress, but is less effective when individuals have experienced chronic psychological conditions such as depression and loneliness. This study emphasizes the importance of early intervention based on social support to prevent mental health deterioration among college students.

Basman Rabbanie, Ratri Nuryanni Qudawatullathifa

This research is based on based on the observation that Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PKn) learning at the elementary school level is often still conventional, teacher-centered, and less student-involved, resulting in low learning outcomes and student engagement. The purpose of this study was to analyze the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in PPKn learning and measure its effectiveness in improving the quality of elementary school students' learning holistically, covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, this study was conducted at one of the elementary schools in Cirebon Regency with subjects of grade V teachers and 35 students. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model (data reduction, data presentation, verification) and data triangulation. The results showed that the application of PBL significantly increased student engagement (physical, emotional, cognitive), learning outcomes (average scores increased from 72 to 83), and the development of citizenship attitudes (mutual respect, cooperation, social concern). In conclusion, the PBL model effectively creates participatory, contextual, and collaborative civics learning, not only improving conceptual understanding but also fostering democratic and responsible characters. This study contributes theoretically by strengthening constructivism theory and practically as a reference for civics teachers for innovative and meaningful learning.
