This study investigates the complex bidirectional relationship between Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the Human Development Index (HDI) in Indonesian provinces, with Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), Education, and Health as mediating factors. Addressing interprovincial development inequality, this research uniquely accounts for socioeconomic heterogeneity by classifying provinces into fast, medium, and slow economic growth categories. Using panel data from 2010 to 2023 for 34 provinces, the study applies robust econometric methods, including panel unit root, cointegration, Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) for long-run estimation, and Granger causality tests. Findings reveal consistent long-run cointegration among all variables across categories. FMOLS results generally show that FDI, GRDP, Education, and Health positively and significantly influence HDI. However, notable anomalies include a negative impact of Health on HDI in fast-growing provinces and Education in slow-growing provinces. Granger causality tests demonstrate varied dynamics: bidirectional FDI-HDI relationships at the national level and in medium-growth provinces, but unidirectional causality from FDI to HDI in fast and slow-growth provinces. These results underscore the critical need for adaptive, regionally specific investment and human development policies to address persistent disparities and optimize FDI's contribution to equitable development across Indonesia.
Rediscovering Local Wisdom: A Cultural Turn in Islamic Economic Education

Published: 31 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences
This study explores the urgent need for a cultural turn in Islamic economic education by emphasizing the integration of local wisdom into its theoretical and pedagogical frameworks. While contemporary Islamic economics has developed rapidly in institutional and academic domains, its educational approaches often remain disconnected from the socio-cultural contexts in which it operates, by overlooking indigenous economic values and practices rooted in local traditions—such as mutual cooperation, ethical trade, and community-based redistribution—Islamic economic education risks becoming abstract, elitist, and less impactful at the grassroots level. This paper argues that local wisdom is not merely a cultural artifact, but an epistemic resource aligned with the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, capable of enriching curriculum content and pedagogical methods. Through a conceptual-normative analysis, this research highlights how incorporating local wisdom can bridge epistemological gaps, foster inclusive education, and promote a more holistic understanding of Islamic economics that is both theoretically grounded and contextually relevant. The findings suggest that reclaiming local wisdom is essential for improving educational outcomes and restoring the ethical and social dimensions of Islamic economics in pluralistic and postcolonial societies like Indonesia.

Two sustainable development goals, poverty reduction and environmental quality, present challenges in Indonesia. While extreme poverty in Indonesia declined from 1990 to 2022, CO2 emissions rose, making Indonesia vulnerable to achieving these goals. This study investigates the conflict between extreme poverty alleviation and environmental quality improvement as measured by CO2 emissions, focusing on the relationship between the two. Using 1990-2022 time series data and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) approach, the results show that economic growth reduces extreme poverty but increases CO2 emissions. In addition, improving human quality (HDI) reduces CO2 emissions and extreme poverty. These findings confirm the relationship between economic growth, poverty alleviation, and environmental quality. Therefore, the government must adjust its economic development policies to be environmentally friendly and support improving human quality to overcome this challenge.

The importance of political education lies in the principle of popular sovereignty, which holds that a just government is determined by the people and must be held accountable to them. Limited public exposure to political education has led to immature participation and weak attitudes toward the democratic process. Left unaddressed, this may trigger conflicts, undermine security, and risk national disintegration. This research aims to assess the extent to which political education can be regarded as a planned and structured process designed to shape voters’ political identity, foster political awareness, and cultivate ethically and morally responsible participation. Political education, as a product of public policy, can be evaluated directly during its implementation. It serves as a step toward achieving policy objectives through administrative and political measures. Using a normative juridical legal research method with a statutory approach, this study examines the internal aspects of positive law related to political education. Findings indicate that voter participation remains minimal despite its vital role in sustaining democracy. Active and informed voter engagement is essential for building a strong and lasting democratic foundation. The study highlights that political education should be a continuous process within communities, not limited to the period preceding elections. This is particularly relevant in the context of Indonesia’s upcoming 2029 General Elections and 2029 Simultaneous Regional Elections, where the focus should shift from short-term mobilisation to long-term democratic capacity building
Beyond Sanctions: Progressive Legal Strategies for Victim Empowerment and Violence Prevention

Published: 27 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Media of Law and Sharia
Domestic violence (DV), particularly when experienced by wives as victims of physical, psychological, sexual, and economic abuse, remains a deeply concerning legal and social phenomenon in Indonesian society. This study examines the normative dimensions of DV against women through the lens of progressive legal theory and the framework of positive law. The findings reveal that uncontrolled jealousy, economic pressure, and alcohol consumption are among the primary triggers of domestic violence. Such violence manifests in physical, sexual, psychological, and financial forms, all of which have a profound impact on victims' overall well-being. (UU PKDRT) provides a clear legal foundation for victim protection, including through protective orders. However, from a progressive legal perspective, the response to domestic violence must go beyond a rigid and normative application of the law by embracing a more humane, empathetic, and victim-oriented approach. Law enforcement officials, including judicial bodies, are expected to consider the psychological and mental condition of victims in handling such cases. Furthermore, effective recovery requires multi-sectoral involvement, including legal advocates, healthcare professionals, social workers, and volunteer companions, to ensure that victims receive holistic protection encompassing legal, emotional, and social support

Published: 27 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Media of Law and Sharia
Legal protection for justice seekers can be achieved through the good faith of the state administrative agency or official responsible for executing the state administrative court's decision, coupled with active community oversight of the implementation process. Indonesia requires an executive institution to implement PTUN (Peradilan Tata Usaha Negara) execution, ensuring that legal enforcement operates more efficiently, particularly within the realm of state administrative justice. This research aims to reveal and analyze how legal protection for justice seekers is implemented through state administrative courts and what steps can be taken so that legal protection can be binding. The method applied in this research is a statutory approach, a concept approach, and testing it with case studies of several cases of the State Administrative Court in Indonesia. This study found that a comprehensive approach encompassing good faith implementation, community involvement, establishment of executive institutions, capacity building, training initiatives, and public awareness campaigns is essential for safeguarding legal protection within state administrative justice systems. This collective effort aims to ensure the effective implementation of administrative court decisions, uphold the rule of Law, and protect the rights of justice seekers in Indonesia

Published: 22 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences
This study analyzes the performance differences of Indonesia’s banking sector stocks, represented by the Infobank15 index, before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Using ANOVA and Post Hoc Testing, the study finds no significant differences in stock returns across these three periods despite the substantial economic disruption caused by the pandemic. Like other industries, the banking sector faced a downturn at the start of the pandemic but managed to recover. This finding underscores that the banking sector maintained stability across different periods due to the strong financial fundamentals, including consistent Non-Performing Loan (NPL) and Return on Assets (ROA) ratios throughout the pandemic. The government’s support, such as credit restructuring policies and digitalization of banking services, facilitated the sector’s adaptation to economic challenges, allowing for continued operations despite social restrictions. The study highlights that the banking sector’s ability to expand its digital services mitigated the crisis's immediate impacts and positioned it as an attractive option for investors seeking stability. This study offers insights for policymakers and adds to the literature on the banking sector’s resilience during global crises.

This study examines the factors influencing crime rates across various regions in Mindanao, Philippines, from 2009 to 2022, addressing its economic and security challenges. Like many developing countries in Asia, the Philippines faces disparities in economic growth, with Mindanao lagging behind other areas in terms of development. This issue is further intensified by travel advisories from foreign governments, such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, impacting tourism and foreign investment. By analyzing GRDP per capita, mean years of education, unemployment rate, urban population, police operating expenses, and police visibility, the research uses panel regression analysis to determine significant crime predictors. Results show that mean years of education have a considerable positive relationship with crime rates, suggesting that higher education levels may be linked to increased crime, particularly through the involvement of educated individuals in sophisticated crimes, such as white-collar crime or drug-related activities. Meanwhile, police visibility has a significant negative relationship with crime rates, indicating that a higher police presence is an effective deterrent, as criminals are reluctant to engage in criminal activities when a strong police presence is evident. Other variables, such as GRDP per capita, unemployment rate, urban population, and police operating expenses, were insignificant. These findings underscore the complexity of crime factors and the necessity for strategic police allocation and education reforms, providing insights for policymakers in addressing crime. The study’s implications extend beyond the Philippines, offering insights for other countries facing similar challenges in balancing economic growth and crime prevention.

Challenges and Strategies of Women in Local Governance during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Phenomenological Study
Scholarship on women in political leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights their notable effectiveness in crisis governance. While some scholars attribute this to gendered traits, others point to institutional, political, and economic factors. However, limited research has examined the lived experiences of women leaders to understand what drives their crisis responses. This study addresses that gap by exploring how women at the local level, specifically women Punong Barangays (PBs) in Bukidnon Province, Philippines, perceived their leadership roles during the pandemic, focusing on the challenges they faced and the strategies they employed to overcome them. Using a phenomenological approach, data were collected through key informant interviews with purposive and snowball sampling. Data triangulation and ethical procedures, including informed consent, ensured validity and reliability. Thematic collation analysis revealed that women PBs encountered non-cooperation from residents, health risks, resource shortages, organizational constraints, emotional and physical strain, and role conflicts. To navigate these, they employed strategic communication, community education, and local partnerships to foster cooperation and address immediate needs. Effective resource management, personal resilience, and strong support networks, including family and faith, were instrumental in sustaining their efforts. Ultimately, these women viewed their leadership as a mandated duty, driven by commitment to public service and their close connection to grassroots communities. Findings suggest that women’s effectiveness in crisis leadership stems not only from gendered attributes but also from motivations such as civic responsibility, community proximity, and emotional strength. The study contributes to rethinking women’s political leadership in decentralized governance and offers insights for policy reforms to better support local women leaders beyond gendered expectations.

This research explores the complexities of mass mobilization through the hashtag #PeringatanDarurat in Indonesia's digital democracy, analyzing how social media transforms public participation in the contemporary democratization process. In the dynamic digital communication landscape, hashtags have evolved into strategic instruments for mobilizing collective awareness, shaping public opinion, and driving socio-political action. Through qualitative research with a constructivist approach, this comprehensive study will delve into the perspectives of X social media users, where hashtags serve as a communication medium capable of transcending traditional geographical and structural boundaries. The research methodology includes analyzing digital content by influencers, activists, and public figures who play a crucial role in issue dissemination and systematic observation of virtual interactions. The main focus of the research is to uncover the complex dynamics of how the hashtag #PeringatanDarurat shapes public narratives, creates spaces for democratic dialogue, and mobilizes the masses through social media platforms. This study aims to provide a deep understanding of the transformation of democratic practices in the digital era by showcasing the potential of social media in shaping social movements, raising critical awareness, and encouraging citizen participation. This research finds that the hashtag #PeringatanDarurat on social media X has become an effective tool for digital activism that mobilizes the public to reject the revision of the Regional Election Law. This movement demonstrates the power of mass autonomous communication in pushing back against policies, encouraging real action, and strengthening digital democracy in Indonesia.
Effectiveness of Macroprudential Policy on Banking Credit Growth in Indonesia (2015-2023)

Published: 12 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences
The COVID-19 pandemic shows that macroprudential policy is one of the crucial instruments in mitigating economic shocks and ensuring the financial system. This study examines the effectiveness of macroprudential policies on banking credit growth in Indonesia from 2015 to 2023 by analyzing the impact of the Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI), Minimum Reserve Requirement (GWM), Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), and Non-Performing Loans (NPL). This study aims to give regulators insights into optimizing policy combinations to mitigate financial risks while supporting sustainable economic growth. The results of panel data regression revealed that DTI and CAR significantly impact banking credit growth. In contrast, GWM and NPL didn’t have a significant effect. These findings emphasize the critical role of macroprudential policies in maintaining a balance between credit growth and financial stability, especially in times of economic uncertainty. This study contributes to policymakers and financial regulators optimizing macroprudential frameworks to enhance financial resilience and support sustainable credit distribution in Indonesia’s banking sector.

Published: 11 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences
This study aims to analyze the influence of macroeconomic indicators such as exports, imports, inflation, exchange rates, and the Bank Indonesia (BI) rate on foreign exchange reserves in Indonesia during the 2010-2023 period. The research methodology employed is multiple linear regression analysis and the Error Correction Model (ECM) with monthly time series data. The results indicate that exports, inflation, and exchange rates significantly affect Indonesia's foreign exchange reserves in the long run. Exports and exchange rates have a positive effect, while inflation also positively affects foreign exchange reserves. Conversely, the benchmark interest rate (BI Rate) has a significant adverse impact. In the short term, only inflation and exchange rate have a significant effect, negatively impacting foreign exchange reserves. This research contributes original value to the literature by integrating a broad set of macroeconomic indicators into a single, comprehensive model. This approach is seldom found in previous studies. Whereas earlier research typically assessed these variables in isolation or limited combinations, this study concurrently examines their collective impact within a consistent ECM framework over a 14-year monthly dataset. As such, this study enhances the current understanding of the short- and long-term macroeconomic dynamics affecting foreign exchange reserves and provides valuable insights for policymakers in formulating external sector strategies.
How Regional Economic Growth, Population, and Manufacturing Value-Added Contribute to Regional Labor Force Participation
Muhammad Farid Alfarisy
Published: 11 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Journal of Economics Research and Social Sciences
This study investigates the relationship between manufacturing value-added, GRDP (Gross Regional Domestic Product), and population growth on the labor participation rate in the region. The sample comprises 16 provinces in total. It consists of 10 provinces that experienced economic growth rates lower than the national growth rate between 2017 and 2019. The remaining six provinces have economic growth that exceeded the average national economic growth from 2017 to 2019. These 6 provinces are located on Java Island, and the other 10 provinces are located outside Java Island. Thus, we also added the province location variable to our analysis. We employed panel data regression to estimate the data. This study finds that the region’s economic and population growth substantially impacts the region’s labor participation rate. While the manufacturing value-added, the labor productivity rate, and the location do not significantly affect the labor participation rate of the region. Since economic and population growth are significant factors influencing labor force participation, some government policies should prioritize promoting sustainable economic development and attracting people to the province. The result of the study on the effect of manufacturing value-added and labor productivity shows that it has no impact on labor participation rates. This suggests that policies aimed solely at boosting manufacturing output or labor productivity may not automatically translate into higher labor force participation. Policymakers should, therefore, diversify their focus to other sectors, such as services or technology, that might better encourage workforce engagement.
Pencegahan Pembunuhan-Bunuh Diri Oleh Keluarga: Tinjauan Teori Sosio-Kriminologi

Published: 08 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Indonesian Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology (IJCLC)
The phenomenon of family murder-suicides presents a paradox. In various studies, the family is viewed as a support system for suicide prevention, yet in these cases, family members are encouraged to end their lives together. This research focuses on the question, "What does socio-criminology offer in preventing family murder-suicides?" The study employs a literature review method on two cases to illustrate the issues at hand. The findings attempt to offer prevention strategies through the connection between lifestyle, routine activities of the perpetrators, and suicide or murder acts. The influence of unstructured socialization can increase the likelihood of family murder-suicides. The research also suggests the structure of communities and families to prevent other factors that drive suicide or murder in the cases reviewed in this study. Additionally, this study recommends three prevention programs based on socio-criminological theories
Audit Sosial Dalam Pencegahan Korupsi PBJ pada Sektor Kontruksi di Indonesia
Corruption in the procurement of goods and services (PBJ) in the Indonesian construction sector is the second largest corruption case after bribery in Indonesia. This corruption is carried out by involving the government and private contractors, thus damaging the quality of infrastructure and misusing public funds. Many studies have discussed corruption in PBJ, none have specifically highlighted the relationship between contractor compliance, the role of the community, and the effectiveness of social audits. This study uses a socio-legal method with a political economy of law approach to determine contractor compliance and the role of the community in preventing corruption in PBJ in the Indonesian construction sector, as well as the effectiveness of social audits in preventing corruption in the construction sector. The results show that contractor compliance with procurement regulations reduces the potential for corruption in construction projects. Community participation in public monitoring is important to detect violations. Social audits are effective in increasing transparency and accountability, but require government support and access to information. Collaboration between the community and the government is crucial to improving the accountability of construction projects and building public trust. This collaboration allows the community to be involved in the oversight process and ensure that projects are implemented in accordance with applicable regulations. With community involvement, potential violations can be detected early, so that preventive measures can be taken before the problem develops into corruption

Abstract
Corruption in the Piggyback (PGB) in the Indonesian construction sector involves the government and private contractors, which damages the quality of infrastructure and misuses public funds. As of September 2024, the KPK recorded 1,639 corruption cases, with 394 occurring in the PBJ sector, making it the second-largest corruption sector after bribery. Satria Unggul W.P Satria Unggul W.P (2023) stated that PGB is prone to corruption because it is related to the state budget, while Cesar Rengganis (2021) highlighted its negative impact on infrastructure. Social audits are considered effective in increasing transparency and accountability, as expressed by Satria Unggul W.P. (2023). Marten Bunga (2019) and Steven Ferico (2020) emphasize the importance of public awareness of corruption. This study found that although many studies discuss corruption in PGB, none have specifically highlighted the relationship between contractor compliance, community roles, and the effectiveness of social audits. This study formulated two main problems: 1) how is contractor compliance and the role of the community in preventing PGB corruption in the Indonesian construction sector? 2) how effective is social audit in preventing corruption in the construction sector? The socio-legal method and the political economy of law approach help us understand PGB corruption and the factors that influence the effectiveness of social audits in preventing it. The results of the study show that contractors' compliance with the regulations on the procurement of goods and services (PBJ) reduces the potential for corruption in construction projects. Public participation in public monitoring is important to detect violations. Social audits are effective in increasing transparency and accountability, but they require government support and access to information. Collaboration between the community and the government is essential to increase the accountability of construction projects and build public trust. This collaboration allows the community to be involved in the monitoring process and ensure that the project is implemented in accordance with applicable regulations. With community involvement, potential violations can be detected early, so preventive measures can be taken before the problem develops into corruption.

Published: 06 August 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (IJIEF)
Mosque-based Islamic microfinance uniquely combines religious values with community economic empowerment. This study examined the business success of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that receive financing and mentoring from Jogokaryan Mosque. The measurement of business success was viewed from the perspective of Maqasid Sharia, which includes business experience, business justice, business welfare, financial wisdom, and one additional variable: the quality of worship. The research method used was the Asnaf Muslimpreneur Success Index (AMSi) to gauge the level of business success among MSME actors. The study population consisted of MSME actors who received financing and participated in a series of programs organised by Jogokaryan Mosque. A sample of 56 respondents was obtained using a purposive sampling technique. The result showed that the level of business success among MSMEs associated with Jogokaryan Mosque was categorised as medium-high success. This success was beneficial for MSME actors and could be further enhanced through a series of supporting programs with consistent intensity. The implication of this study was to evaluate the empowerment program offered by Jogokaryan Mosque and enhance the quality of both program delivery and financing. In fact, the goal was to boost business success and empower MSME actors in their entrepreneurial endeavours

This research aims to analyze stunting prevention policies in Bogor City using the theoretical framework of George Edward III's policy implementation model. The method employed was a literature review with a qualitative approach, referring to secondary data from journals, policy documents, and other literature sources. The findings showed that stunting prevention policies in Bogor City have been implemented through several programs, such as Penting Lur, SALSA, Taleus, and the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH), with varying levels of effectiveness. Communication factors, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure play an important role in determining the success of policy implementation. However, challenges such as cross-sectoral coordination, limited resources in certain areas, and low public awareness of nutrition remain obstacles that must be addressed. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in improving the effectiveness of stunting prevention programs locally, particularly in Bogor City.
Policy Implementation of Rumah Dataku Development for Quality Family Village in Kiaracondong Sub-district, Bandung City, Indonesia
Rumah Dataku is a vital component of the Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas (Quality Family Village) program, serving as a data center for population, health, and socio-economic information at the village/urban ward level. However, comparative studies on Rumah Dataku across different areas remain limited. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Rumah Dataku in Kampung KB Bintara and Kampung KB Sakura, Kiaracondong District, Bandung City, and provide strategic recommendations to improve program effectiveness. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The study applies George C. Edward III’s policy implementation theory, focusing on communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Findings show that Kampung KB Sakura excels in human resources, equipment, and funding, while Kampung KB Bintara faces significant limitations. Both villages struggle with consistently applying Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The study recommends partnerships, regular training, and continuous evaluation to ensure the sustainability of Rumah Dataku.

Published: 31 July 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (IJIEF)
Economic growth disparities among OIC member states remain a persistent challenge that demands nuanced, data-driven policy responses. This study investigates the determinants of economic growth in OIC member states from 2010 to 2022. This study offers new insights by analysing four macroeconomic variables, explicitly distinguishing between high and low-income nations. The study's approach provides an in-depth understanding of how each variable impacts different stages of development, supporting more adaptive monetary and fiscal strategies. Panel regression analysis was employed, with a random effects model applied to the low-income country group and a common effects model used for the high-income group. The findings reveal a consistent negative impact of private debt on economic growth across both income groups. In contrast, inflation exhibited no significant influence on economic development in either category. FDI has shown a positive effect on the economic development of high-income countries, while no significant effect was observed for low-income countries. Conversely, trade openness has significantly stimulated economic growth in low-income nations, whereas no significant impact has been observed in high-income countries. Based on these findings, policy recommendations for OIC member states should prioritize debt reduction strategies across all income levels. Policies to enhance FDI in developed economies and promote trade openness are essential for economic growth in low-income OIC member countries.
Determinants of Islamic Financial Institutions on Poverty Reduction: A Systematic Review
Rafiq Azzam Al Afif, Ahmad Baihaqi Esaputra, Rahmatdi, Mirzam Arqy Ahmadi
Published: 31 July 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (IJIEF)
This study explores the multifaceted determinants of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) in alleviating poverty by employing a qualitative meta-synthesis approach guided by the ENTREQ protocol. The research synthesizes findings from 23 scholarly articles indexed in Scopus to identify key internal and external factors influencing IFI performance in poverty alleviation. These determinants are systematically categorized into a strategic quadrant model: internal-structural, internal-behavioural, external-structural, and external-behavioural. Internal-structural elements such as institutional capacity, operational models, access to capital, and adherence to Islamic values significantly affect the success of IFIs, while internal-behavioural dimensions highlight the roles of innovation, religiosity, and community-based initiatives. Externally, the legal and policy environment, cultural dynamics, public perception, and economic conditions emerge as critical influences on IFIs’ outreach and effectiveness. The findings reveal that IFIs often face challenges in maintaining their developmental focus due to resource limitations, regulatory gaps, and competitive financial landscapes. Nonetheless, when grounded in Islamic ethical principles and supported by appropriate institutional frameworks, IFIs demonstrate a strong potential to deliver inclusive financial services and uplift marginalized communities. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach to consolidating diverse themes into a coherent analytical framework, offering actionable insights for practitioners, regulators, and scholars. It emphasizes that successful poverty alleviation through IFIs requires a synchronized interplay of ethical commitment, institutional readiness, policy support, and grassroots participation. The results contribute to the development of strategic recommendations for enhancing the role of Islamic finance in addressing poverty across different socio-economic and regulatory contexts.
Students’ Avoidance of English Use in English MKU During and Post-Pandemic
Corry Caromawati, Levita Dwinaya
Published: 31 July 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Journal of Foreign Languange Teaching and Learning
Background: English as a general subject, known as Mata Kuliah Umum (MKU) in Indonesian tertiary education, primarily aims to develop students’ second language (L2) proficiency. These courses are therefore designed to encourage the use English during classroom interactions. However, many students choose to remain silent or resort to using Indonesian instead.
Objective: This study examines students’ unwillingness to communicate/participate in English during classroom instruction, both during and post pandemic.
Methods: It employs the third generation of the Activity Theory as the analytical framework, with the units of analysis being activities across the micro, meso, and macro levels. Using a case study approach, data were collected from multiple perspectives–students, teachers, and policymakers– through interviews. Course syllabi were analyzed as part of the dataset.
Findings: The findings suggest that the policy makers’ decisions influenced the communication behaviour in both online and offline classes. This study highlights the importance of fostering L2 use habits through policymaking strategies such as aligning instructional practices with intended learning outcomes, establishing explicit language-use rules, and providing supportive tools and learning environments.
Conclusion: Additionally, it emphasizes the need for teachers to deepen their understanding of the Communicative Language Teaching Approach (CLTA), particularly in balancing the development of both fluency and accuracy.
Can Indonesia's Digital Banks Combat PEPs and Financial Crimes?
This article examines the impact of advanced technologies on enhancing due diligence for Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) within Indonesia's digital banking sector. With the rapid growth of digital banking, there is a pressing need to address the heightened risks associated with PEPs, including potential corruption and money laundering. The study explores the challenges posed by traditional due diligence methods in the face of evolving financial technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), which offer innovative solutions to improve compliance and risk management. It emphasizes the importance of robust regulatory frameworks designed to safeguard the financial system, while also highlighting the operational realities faced by digital banks in adhering to these regulations. The research employs qualitative analysis to investigate how technology can streamline compliance processes, enhance customer due diligence (CDD), and facilitate the identification and monitoring of high-risk clients.

Community research is an instrument in the juvenile justice system used to provide a comprehensive overview of the social, psychological, and family conditions of children involved in criminal acts. This study examines the extent to which community research results influence judges' decisions in imposing sanctions or rehabilitation on children in conflict with the law. This research was conducted using an empirical juridical method that examines approaches to legal studies and phenomena occurring in Merauke Regency. The data obtained were then processed into primary and secondary data. The results indicate that although community research provides invaluable information in determining more rehabilitative decisions, there are challenges in terms of limited time and available resources, which can affect the quality of the research results. This study recommends improvements in the process of implementing community research and increasing the time allotted to obtain more accurate results that are appropriate to the needs of children. Furthermore, the study emphasizes that decisions made by judges can provide better recovery and rehabilitation for children
Kesiapan Lembaga Pelaksana dan Bentuk Implementasi Pidana Kerja Sosial di Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta
The main punishment mentioned in Law Number 1 Year 2023 on the Criminal Code consists of imprisonment, closure, supervision, fine and community service. The renewal of the types of basic punishment, in this case social work punishment, certainly requires institutional readiness in its implementation and supervision. In this study, the researcher will examine how the concept of the implementation of social work punishment in Criminal Law Reform in Indonesia and how the challenges of implementing agencies in the framework of implementing social work punishment as a form of punishment in national criminal law reform. The research method used in this research is Normative Empirical. The research concludes that the form of social work punishment in Law Number 1 Year 2023 on the Criminal Code is by means of criminal offenders being required to carry out work or social activities that are beneficial to the community within a certain period of time. The challenges that will be faced by the government in relation to the implementation of social work punishment mainly lie in the unavailability of facilities and infrastructure and the lack of coordination between institutions implementing social work punishment. In addition, the difficulty also lies in the fact that the Government Regulation has not been ratified as an implementing regulation regarding social work punishment, so that the institutions implementing social work punishment cannot be sure of the concept and form of implementation of social work sanctions.

Published: 31 July 2025 by Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta in Journal of Foreign Languange Teaching and Learning
Background: Recent studies found that some English textbooks do not support Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) principles that are suitable to be emphasised in teaching with the current emancipated curriculum in Indonesia.
Objective: This study attempts an analysis on exercises in an English textbook entitled “Think” (CEFR A1) by Cambridge University Press for seventh graders. The research was to analyze the extent to which the exercises in the textbook follow the principles of CLT, to explore the teachers’ perspective in the use of textbooks to support CLT, and to describe the students' performances of the communicative classroom activities.
Methods: The research used a qualitative case study method employing document analysis, teachers’ interview and classroom observations in a private Islamic Junior High School in Semarang, Central Java.
Findings: The results show that the textbook strongly promotes communicative competence dominated by task completion activities with a proportion of individual tasks excelling in pair/group works in them.
Conclusion: However, the large number of exercises makes this book seem like a workbook. Although the teachers have adequate understanding of CLT principles and the activities presented in the textbook, the interviews showed that time constraints meant that most of the time, they could only use task completion and role play. The results of the students' performance showed that most of them succeeded in practicing the role play well although the low achievers who had problems in practicing the dialogue needed better scaffolding and time during the tasks completion.

Background: The Nigerian English language curriculum for writing mostly encourages a teacher-centred approach whereby the teacher simply gives writing task to students and leave them to figure it out on their own. This leaves many of the students stuck and thereby losing interest in English composition.
Objective: This study hereby investigates how Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) impacts the writing performance of secondary school students in Nigeria to see if a more student-centered approach might change the students’ perspective and performance. The study specifically focuses on organization and structure in expository writing. It primarily aims to determine whether using a student-centred approach like IBL can improve students’ writing performance.
Methods: A seven-week experimental study was conducted, and this involved an experimental group that was taught using IBL strategies and a control group that received traditional instruction. At the beginning of the study, each group consisted of 20 students, making the initial sample size 40. However, only 10 students from each group completed both the pre-test and post-test, which resulted in 20 valid responses. This reduction was largely because of the students’ motivation and attitudes toward the process, which affected their participation. Data collection included pre-tests and post-tests to assess students’ writing performance.
Findings: The results of the experiment underscore that no significant differences were observed between the performance of the experimental and control group. While IBL did not lead to measurable improvements in students’ ability to organize and structure expository essays, the study highlights the value of active student engagement in the learning process.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that the results may differ with a larger sample size and a longer period of intervention.

Should refer to the principle of lex specialis then the law enforcement of online fraud crimes can be applied Article 27 paragraph (2) of the ITE Law which is more fulfilling and in accordance with the trial facts contained in the three Decisions at the Mataram District Court
Pengaruh Tingkat Keseriusan Pelanggaran dan Edukasi terhadap Whistleblowing Intentions dengan Pemahaman sebagai Variabel Pemediasi
Latar Belakang: Kasus pelanggaran dan kecurangan, termasuk korupsi, masih menjadi tantangan utama di berbagai sektor di Indonesia. Di tengah lemahnya penegakan hukum dan kurangnya perlindungan bagi pelapor pelanggaran (whistleblower), sistem pelaporan seringkali tidak optimal. Keadaan ini diperburuk oleh rendahnya pemahaman mengenai whistleblowing, baik di tingkat individu maupun kelembagaan, seperti yang terjadi pada kasus pengadaan proyek Dinas Perhubungan Karawang, yang merugikan negara hingga miliaran rupiah.Tujuan Penelitian: Untuk menganalisis pengaruh tingkat keseriusan pelanggaran, edukasi whistleblowing, dan pemahaman whistleblowing terhadap niat pelaporan pelanggaran (whistleblowing intentions) di Dinas Perhubungan Komunikasi dan Informatika Karawang.Metode Penelitian: Sampel penelitian ini adalah pegawai Dinas Perhubungan Komunikasi dan Informatika Karawang yang berjumlah 120 orang. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data primer yang diperoleh melalui kuesioner. Penelitian ini dianalisis menggunakan metode Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)Hasil Penelitian: Edukasi whistleblowing dan pemahaman whistleblowing berpengaruh signifikan terhadap niat whistleblowing. Tingkat keseriusan pelanggaran tidak berpengaruh langsung, namun berpengaruh secara tidak langsung melalui pemahaman whistleblowing (full mediating). Pemahaman whistleblowing juga memediasi sebagian pengaruh edukasi terhadap niat whistleblowing (partial mediating). Keaslian/Kebaruan Penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan pengenalan pemahaman whistleblower sebagai variabel mediasi merupakan aspek baru dari penelitian ini. Tambahan ini memperkaya literatur dengan mengeksplorasi faktor yang sebelumnya kurang dibahas dalam niat whistleblower. Studi ini juga menyoroti peran pendidikan whistleblower dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan keberanian untuk melaporkan pelanggaran. Fokus pada program pendidikan ini sebagai sarana untuk meningkatkan mekanisme pelaporan merupakan kontribusi unik untuk lapangan.
