Research is a mandatory task for bachelor, master, doctoral degrees, in completing lectures at various universities in Indonesia. Several approaches in research methods are used by researchers who focus on qualitative research. Each study program has a different perspective on technical research concepts, as well as different methods with different objectives. Researchers characterized by naturalistic characteristics with a subjective perspective become a way to conduct research in the natural realm. Many quantitative researchers are considered unscientific, but by strengthening field data and observations to the point of saturation, qualitative research is valuable and also meaningful. In this study, the case study approach, phenomenology and ethnography will be elaborated in a research context that is relevant to the phenomena that occur today in real life. Penelitian adalah tugas wajib bagi para sarjana S1, S2, S3, dalam menyelesaikan perkuliahan di pelbagai Universitas di Indonesia, beberapa pendekatan dalam metode penelitian digunakan peneliti yang fokus pada penelitian Kualitatif. Setiap program studi memiliki perbedaan cara pandang pada konsep penelitian secara teknis, begitupun metode berbeda-beda dengan tujuannya yang berbeda pula. Peneliti yang berciri khas naturalistik dengan cara pandang subjektif menjadi cara untuk melakukan penelitian pada ranah alamiah. Banyak peneliti kuantitatif di anggap tidak ilmiah, namun dengan penguatan data-data lapangan dan observasi hingga titik jenuh justeru penelitian kualitatif menjadi bernilai dan juga bermakna. Pada kajian ini, pendekatan studi kasus, fenomenologi dan etnografi akan dijabarkan dengan konteks penelitian yang relevans dengan fenomena yang terjadi dewasa ini dalam kehidupan nyata.

species complex (FOSC). Selected isolates from each lineage were tested on the banana varieties Gros Michel and Cavendish to characterise their pathogenicity profiles. More than 65 % of the isolates were diagnosed as Tropical Race 4 (Foc-TR4) due to their pathogenicity to Cavendish banana, which supports the hypothesis that Foc-TR4 is of Indonesian origin. Nine independent genetic lineages for Foc are formally described in this study. This biodiversity has not been studied since the initial description of Foc in 1919. This study provides a detailed overview of the complexity of Fusarium wilt on banana and its diversity and distribution across Indonesia.

Abstract Indigenous knowledge provides specific views of the world held by various indigenous peoples. It offers different views on nature and science that generally differ from traditional Western science. Futhermore, it introduces different perspectives on nature and the human in nature. Coming basically from a Western perspective on nature and science, the paper analyzes the literature in science education focusing on research and practices of integrating indigenous knowledge with science education. The paper suggests Didaktik models and frameworks for how to elaborate on and design science education for sustainability that takes indigenous knowledge and related non-Western and alternative Western ideas into consideration. To do so, indigenous knowledge is contextualized with regards to related terms (e.g., ethnoscience), and with Eastern perspectives (e.g., Buddhism), and alternative Western thinking (e.g., post-human Bildung ). This critical review provides justification for a stronger reflection about how to include views, aspects, and practices from indigenous communities into science teaching and learning. It also suggests that indigenous knowledge offers rich and authentic contexts for science learning. At the same time, it provides chances to reflect views on nature and science in contemporary (Western) science education for contributing to the development of more balanced and holistic worldviews, intercultural understanding, and sustainability.

This article discusses the efforts of the Indonesian Government in handling the outbreak of Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19). The handling strategies assessed by understanding the efforts, steps, and policies formulated and implemented by the government while the analysis used a deliberative policy analysis approach was used. This approach analyzes the narratives and arguments of the authorities to understand the decision making and policy implementation. The research used a qualitative approach by utilizing descriptive analysis methods. Then the data collection technique used literature studies. The findings found that, first, negative narratives and the slow response of the government. Before COVID-19 approached Indonesia, narratives delivered by the elite government showed that there was no sense of crisis so that it slow-down decision making. Second, weak coordination, especially between the central government and regional governments. This asynchronous coordination created uncertain handling for the control of Coronavirus. Third, citizen ignorance or disobey government instruction. The impact is, the handling effort has stalled because it is not supported by the wider community. The combination of these three factors complicates the government's efforts to control the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia.

Dengan memahami upaya, langkah, dan kebijakan yang diformulasi dan diimplementasikan oleh pemerintah maka dapat dinilai strategi penanganan tersebut. Untuk menganalisis kasus ini, pendekatan deliberative policy analysis digunakan. Pendekatan ini menganalisis narasi dan argumentasi pihak berwenang untuk memahami pembuatan keputusan dan pelaksanaan kebijakan. Penulisan artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan memanfaatkan metode deskriptif analisis. Sementara itu, teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan yang memanfaatkan buku, artikel jurnal, surat kabar, berita online, serta website lembaga-lembaga otoritatif. Temuan penting dari tulisan ini adalah, pertama, narasi negatif dan lambannya respons pemerintah atas penyebaran COVID-19. Narasi-narasi yang disampaikan oleh elite politik sebelum COVID-19 masuk ke Indonesia menunjukkan nihilnya perasaan adanya krisis (sense of crisis) yang mengancam sehingga memperlambat pengambilan keputusan. Kedua, lemahnya koordinasi antar-stakeholder, khususnya antara pemerintah pusat dan pemerintah daerah. Ketidaksinkronan koordinasi ini mengakibatkan pengendalian virus korona menjadi terkatung-katung. Ketiga, ketidakacuhan atau ketidakpatuhan warga atas himbauan pemerintah. Impaknya, upaya penanganan menjadi tersendat karena tidak didukung oleh masyarakat luas. Kombinasi dari ketiga faktor inilah yang memperumit upaya pemerintah untuk mengendalikan penyebaran COVID-19 di Indonesia. Kata Kunci: Indonesia, COVID-19, Virus Korona, Penanganan, Kebijakan

Bruner argues (in Slameto,2010:11) , it would be nice if the school could provide opportunities for students to progress quickly according to students' abilities in certain subjects. To improve the learning process needs an environment called discovery learning environment. Thus learning media have roles and functions that greatly influence teaching and learning. The instructor of the learning media itself is a teaching aid that also influen ces the climate, conditions and learning environment that is organized and created by the teacher. Hamalik (1986) suggests that the use of instructional media in the learning process can generate new desires and interests, generate motivation and stimulation of learning, and even bring psychological effects to students. In the teaching and learning process, the teacher has the duty to encourage, guide, and provide learning facilities for students to achieve goals. The role of the media is very important to assist teachers in achieving these goals. Especially in cognitive students, because learning is influenced by the frequency of encounters with stimuli or the provision of the same or similar stimulus and response made in the form of learning media. The purpose of this paper provides an understanding of the importance of the role of learning media in the development of students' stimulus abilities in cognitive thinking. So the role of the teacher is needed in the development of appropriate learning media. Keyword : learning, learning media,  cognitive thinking

With the development of technology and information learning media play an important role in assisting the teaching and learning process, so that an educator can take advantage of learning media that began to develop to be used as a tool in delivering material so that the learning process is easier to do. Learning media is very diverse so that an educator must be clever in choosing the appropriate learning media to be applied in school or in the classroom so that a learning goal can be achieved as expected. The existence of learning media in the midst of the development of the era, the teaching and learning process is easier to implement and very important role for a student in following the teaching and learning process. With learning media that are very helpful for students and teachers in the teaching and learning process, students are not easily bored in following the teaching and learning process, students are easier to understand the material, the learning process becomes more effective and efficient, and learning goals are easily achieved as expected. Thus, the role of learning media is needed by an educator and student so that a teaching and learning process can be made easier to understand the material, and foster students' interest in learning.

This research delves into the intricate dynamics of sustainable financial performance, driven by the interplay between Sustainable Management Control Systems (SMCS) and Eco-Innovation. Additionally, it evaluates the pivotal mediating roles of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Digital Adaptability within this relationship, specifically within the context of Indonesian companies. Employing a survey methodology via carefully designed questionnaires, responses were collected from managerial representatives of the companies. The results underscore the significance of most hypotheses, revealing a notable influence of SMCS and eco-innovation on sustainable financial performance. However, some hypotheses regarding the mediating role of SCM and digital adaptability exhibit mixed outcomes. These findings emphasize the essential roles of SCM and digital adaptability in amplifying the effects of SMCS and eco-innovation on sustainable financial performance. Nevertheless, the intricate interdependencies suggest the presence of other influential factors affecting the relationship between digital adaptability and sustainable financial performance, warranting further exploration. The study's limitations include its focus on Indonesian organizations, reliance on self-reported data with response bias potential, cross-sectional design lacking causality establishment, and unexplored alternative mediating variables. This study enriches managerial decision-making and contributes valuable insights to sustainability management, especially in Indonesia, opening new avenues for academic research and inquiry.
