Ketimpangan Maritim dan Akses Pendidikan: Studi Sosiologi Pendidikan Atas Ketergantungan Mahasiswa Kepulauan Pada Kapal PELNI
Inequalities in access to education in Indonesia’s island regions are influenced not only by economic and social factors but also by limited geographical mobility. This study aims to analyze how the dependence of students from island regions on maritime transportation specifically Pelni ships affects their access to higher education. The study employs a qualitative approach using phenomenological methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 25 students from island regions in Eastern Indonesia who are pursuing higher education in Makassar. The findings indicate that Pelni ships serve as educational infrastructure enabling academic mobility for students from remote areas to higher education centers. However, limited sailing schedules, long travel durations, and high mobility costs create a distinct form of educational inequality in island regions. On the other hand, travel via Pelni ships also serves as a space for the formation of social capital through student interactions and migrant networks. This study introduces the concept of maritime educational inequality as a form of educational disparity arising from differences in access to maritime transportation infrastructure. These findings expand the field of the sociology of education by positioning geographical mobility as a key factor in the reproduction of educational inequality.

Developing VOCAYO: A Tourism-Based Vocabulary Learning Application for EFL Students in Takengon
This study reports the development of VOCAyo, a digital vocabulary learning application designed for EFL learners in Takengon, Central Aceh, with a specific focus on tourism contexts. Using the Dick and Carey instructional design model, the research followed six systematic phases: needs assessment, instructional analysis, learner and context analysis, formulation of objectives, development of assessment instruments, and prototype design. Data were collected from 120 students, 12 teachers, and 9 tourism practitioners through questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions, curriculum reviews, and document analyses. Findings revealed a persistent gap between English instruction and the communicative demands of the tourism sector. Students and teachers highlighted the lack of contextualized vocabulary, while practitioners identified recurring situations requiring descriptive, hospitality, and transactional language. Despite these gaps, learners demonstrated strong motivation, high smartphone ownership, and readiness for digital learning. VOCAyo was therefore designed as a mobile-friendly, offline-capable app integrating tourism-based vocabulary, interactive tasks, and embedded assessments that ensure objectivity, usability, and fairness. The study contributes to mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) by embedding localized, socio-economic content into digital tools, bridging the divide between classroom instruction and real-world tourism communication.
The Culture of Misuh in Contemporary Multicultural Surabaya
This study examines the dynamics of misuh, a form of course or profane language, in public advertisements across Surabaya, analyzing it as both a linguistic and social phenomenon that reflects broader cultural transformations in an urbanizing society. Historically functioning as an expression of intimacy, assertiveness, and informal social control, misuh has undergone shifts in function and spatial presence alongside increasing demographic diversity and the modernization of urban governance. Using qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and field observations, this research explores residents' perceptions of written misuh, its perceived effectiveness, and the factors contributing to its persistence or decline. Findings indicate that while misuh remains present, its occurrence has diminished and is now largely confined to more localized areas or neighbourhoods with higher levels of public non-compliance. This decline is shaped by three major factors: growing cultural pluralism that demands more inclusive communication, emerging language ideologies that frame misusing as impolite or inappropriate, and the strengthening of formal institutional mechanisms for regulating public space through signage, CCTV, and reporting systems. The study also identifies a migration of misuh to new mediums, particularly truck bodies, which serve as mobile spaces for expressing identity, humour, social critique, and religiosity. Overall, the findings suggest that misuh has not disappeared but has undergone symbolic and functional transformation, reflecting ongoing negotiations of identity, shifts in power structures, and evolving social values ??in an increasingly modern and multicultural Surabaya.
Eksplorasi Koneksi Matematis Siswa Dalam Menyelesaikan Masalah Numerasi Konteks Kearifan Lokal Sawah Lodok Manggarai
This qualitative study aims to explore and describe the profile of elementary students' mathematical connection skills in solving numeracy literacy problems contextualized in local wisdom. Conducted from November 2024 to June 2025 at Inpres Mawe Elementary School, Manggarai Timur, the research involved selected fifth-grade students categorized into high, moderate, and low proficiency groups using purposive sampling. Data were collected through written tests and in depth interviews. The written test was designed to assess students’ ability to connect mathematical concepts within real-life and cultural contexts, while interviews were used to further investigate students’ reasoning and understanding. Data validity was ensured through methodological triangulation, comparing written responses with interview results. The data analysis process followed the Miles and Huberman model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal notable differences in students' abilities: students with high mathematical connection ability demonstrated good ability to identify, connect, and apply various mathematical concepts in the context of local culture. However, procedural errors were still found in the final calculation stage of problem solving; those at the moderate level showed partial understanding; and low-performing students struggled to relate mathematical concepts to practical or cultural settings. The results underscore the significance of integrating local wisdom into mathematics education to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and numeracy skills. The study recommends instructional approaches that emphasize holistic thinking and the use of diverse representations to strengthen students’ mathematical connections.

Cultivating Good Practices of In-Depth Learning by High School Teachers in Makassar City: a Qualitative Case Study Analysis
This study aims to describe and analyze good practices in the implementation of Deep Learning among high school teachers participating in the Makassar City Class 1K Batch 1 Program, particularly in relation to the context of implementation, supporting factors, obstacles, and good practices that emerged in the learning process. This research was motivated by the education transformation program initiated by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) through the South Sulawesi Province Teacher and Education Personnel Center, which promotes a learning paradigm oriented towards awareness, meaningfulness, and joy of learning. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study design and involved 33 teachers from 11 public and private schools. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation, which were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that deep learning is able to facilitate active student engagement through reflective discussions, problem solving, and collaborative activities. Teachers develop comprehensive lesson plans in the form of teaching modules that are aligned with learning objectives and outcomes. However, the implementation of learning faces obstacles in the form of time constraints, low student interest in reading, a learning orientation that is still focused on grades, diversity in initial abilities, and limitations in learning media. Nevertheless, there are good practices that show an increase in motivation, enthusiasm, and meaningful learning experiences for students. This study concludes that deep learning has significant potential to improve the quality of the teaching and learning process, but requires more systematic support through the strengthening of academic culture, the provision of learning facilities, and the continuous professional development of teachers. These findings can be used as a reference for policy makers and educational institutions in developing a more extensive and sustainable deep learning-based teacher training model.

Pola Pikir Berkembang Guru PAUD dan Perubahan Perilaku Belajar Anak: Studi Deskriptif di Kabupaten Manggarai
This research is situated within the field of early childhood education (ECE), focusing on the exploration of teachers’ growth mindset and its impact on children’s learning behavior. The article aims to describe how growth mindset is formed and understood by ECE teachers, and how such an approach influences children's motivation and learning independence. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 29 ECE teachers in Manggarai Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires, documentation, and interviews, then analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that ECE teachers demonstrate a strong tendency toward a growth mindset, despite the lack of sufficient training in stress management or psychological well-being. Teachers remain committed to continuous learning and to creating learning environments that support children's exploration. This mindset-based approach positively impacts children's behavior, including increased independence, curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning. The study contributes significantly to the body of literature on psychosocial approaches in ECE, particularly in under-researched local contexts. These findings highlight the need for systemic support for teachers' well-being and capacity building as key agents in early childhood education transformation..

The objective of this study is to analyze elementary school students' questions in science learning using the demonstration method. The design employed in this study is qualitative and descriptive. The research location is situated in SDI Tenda, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The study's participants included 14 The subjects who participated in the study consisted of 143 fourth and fifth-grade students. The demonstration method was employed to facilitate science learning, with students and teachers engaging in collaborative learning activities. Furthermore, students were presented with videos containing demonstrations pertinent to the designated learning topic, specifically that of force. During the learning process, researchers obtained data by recording questions raised by students both verbally and in writing during the demonstration and by observing the video. These inquiries were subsequently analyzed to ascertain the types of inquiries that are adapted to the level of thinking in Bloom's Taxonomy. In addition to documenting students' inquiries, researchers obtained data through the conduct of interviews with classroom teachers and students. The findings of the study suggest that the inquiries posed by students during the learning process predominantly align with the cognitive domains of recollection, comprehension, and analysis. According to Bloom's Taxonomy, remembrance and comprehension are classified as lower-order thinking skills. Pedagogues must implement improvements in their instructional methodologies to facilitate the development of higher-order thinking skills in their students.
Food Stall in Ruteng: A Linguistics Landscape Study
This study examines the linguistic landscape (LL) of food stall signage in Ruteng by analyzing the linguistic forms, typologies, and communicative functions embedded within bottom-up commercial signs. Grounded in LL theory and enriched by geosemiotic, mobility, and language ideology perspectives, the research employed a descriptive qualitative design to explore how language operates symbolically and informationally in everyday public spaces. Thirty-six food stall signs were collected through field observation and analyzed for their linguistic composition, spatial emplacement, and semiotic features. The findings reveal that Indonesian overwhelmingly dominates monolingual signage, reflecting national language policy and shared linguistic norms, while bilingual and multilingual signs incorporate regional languages, Arabic, and English to index ethnic identity, religious affiliation, cultural heritage, or aspirations toward modernity. All signs constitute bottom-up signage, highlighting individual agency and cultural creativity in shaping the local LL. Functionally, the signs perform both informational roles—such as conveying menu offerings and halal status—and symbolic roles, expressing identity markers, migration histories, and ideological values. Overall, the study demonstrates that food stall signage in Ruteng functions as a meaningful semiotic artifact that materializes the intersection of language, identity, and mobility in the public sphere, offering valuable insights into the sociolinguistic dynamics of multilingual Indonesian communities.
Relasi Alam Dan Manusia Pada Leksikon Baju Adat Mollo Selatan : Kajian Ekolinguistik
One of the phenomena in wearing traditional South Mollo clothes is the Pilu pattern (head cover) for Usif (king) who resembles a deer, containing the philosophy of “Lus tae Nonoa on the head” a symbol of glory, power, and might. The Timor deer (Cervus Timorensis) is an endemic animal typical of TTS Regency, which is now almost extinct. One of the causes of the criticism of the Timor deer ecosystem is the reduction in the original habitat of the Timor deer, namely in the hills and mountains that have become residential areas and tourist attractions. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a common thread between the extinction of several endemic animals that represent local wisdom of human relations with nature in South Mollo traditional clothes and the reduced use of lexicon of South Mollo traditional clothes in everyday life. This phenomenon serves as the foundation for examining the lexicons of elements and components forming South Mollo traditional dress, along with their philosophical meanings. This study applied a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, gathering data through in-depth interviews and field observations. The results identified 27 lexicon [JW1] on the traditional clothes of South Mollo and there are 10 meanings contained in the traditional clothes of South Molo, namely friendship and brotherhood maun uaf (betel fruit), maun of (betel leaf), and puah (betel nut), and los (betel leaf). chalk)); power (besimnasi/crocodile), might (besimnasi/crocodile), strength (lus/deer), simplicity (lus/deer), honesty (monk/gecko), consistency (pah/earth), life (pah/ground, oel/ water), warmth (heat/sun), and protection and dignity, (beti/blanket and tais/sarong
Strengthening Academic Supervision through Learning Management Systems (LMS): A Qualitative Study of Secondary Schools
Studi ini menelaah peran Learning Management System (LMS) dalam memperkuat supervisi akademik. Supervisi akademik sangat penting untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru dan capaian belajar siswa, namun pendekatan tradisional seringkali terkendala oleh keterbatasan waktu, beban kerja, serta praktik yang tidak konsisten. Integrasi platform digital menawarkan peluang baru untuk meningkatkan efektivitas supervisi. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metodologi interpretatif, penelitian ini mengumpulkan data melalui wawancara dengan kepala sekolah (n = 3) dan pengawas (n = 3) dari sekolah-sekolah yang telah mengadopsi LMS untuk supervisi. Hasil penelitian mengungkap lima tema utama: (1) tujuan pengembangan LMS, (2) perencanaan supervisi dengan menggunakan LMS, (3) pembangunan hubungan dalam supervisi virtual, (4) penilaian dan umpan balik, serta (5) tantangan implementasi. LMS terbukti memfasilitasi perencanaan supervisi yang fleksibel, memperkuat komunikasi, dan mendukung penilaian berbasis data, sekaligus menyediakan ruang virtual untuk kolaborasi. Selain itu, LMS meningkatkan pengembangan profesional guru melalui penguatan literasi digital dan praktik reflektif. Meskipun demikian, terdapat beberapa hambatan yang masih dihadapi, termasuk keterbatasan infrastruktur, konektivitas yang tidak stabil, serta perbedaan kompetensi digital di kalangan pendidik. Studi ini menekankan pentingnya pengembangan sistem yang berkelanjutan, pelatihan yang terarah, dan investasi kelembagaan untuk mengoptimalkan pemanfaatan LMS dalam supervisi. Temuan ini berkontribusi pada wacana inovasi pendidikan dan memberikan wawasan praktis bagi para pembuat kebijakan serta pimpinan sekolah dalam memajukan praktik supervisi yang berkelanjutan.

Patterns and Factors Affecting Social Interaction Among Passengers on Pelni Ship: A Sociological Analysis
Social interaction on Pelni ships has its own unique characteristics. This study aims to reveal the social interaction between passengers on Pelni ships as a unique social space that is formed during sea voyages in Indonesia. Pelni ships, with their various facilities and passenger classes, serve as a platform for individuals from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds to interact. This research employs a qualitative approach using participatory observation and in-depth interviews with 25 passengers on the Makassar-Baubau-Raha-Kendari route in February 2025 The findings of this study indicate that the ship's space creates unique temporary social relationships, ranging from light conversation, cooperation in joint activities, to minor conflicts due to differences in values and customs. Several factors that influence interaction patterns include the duration of the trip, the layout of the ship, and the socio-cultural values brought by the passengers. In addition, social interaction is also influenced by social status and access to certain facilities, which sometimes reinforces social stratification on the ship. However, in some cases, these differences actually serve as catalysts for solidarity and cooperation among passengers. This study offers insights into the social dynamics within the mobile social space of a Pelni ship, reflecting the diversity of Indonesian society while also highlighting the challenges of maintaining social harmony amid such diversity. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for improving service design and social policies on board ships to enhance the quality of the passenger experience.
Exploring the Cultural Ecological Awareness in the Ola Ma Farming Cycle of the Lewotala Indigenous Community
This study examines the ecological awareness of the Lewotala Indigenous community as expressed through the Ola Ma farming cycle—a culturally grounded framework that underpins the community's unique relationship with nature, vital for both their survival and environmental preservation. The primary aim is to describe the Ola Ma farming cycle and analyze the aspects of cultural ecological awareness it embodies. The research investigates the community's perceptions and attitudes toward their natural environment as well as their strategies for fostering sustainable human–nature interactions. Employing a qualitative methodology with an ethnoecological approach, data were gathered through systematic observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which encompasses data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Ola Ma farming cycle is conducted according to the Tonu Wujo Calendar—a traditional, orally transmitted twelve-month calendar based on indigenous computational methods. Moreover, two distinct models emerged in the community's understanding of nature: a vertical model reflecting their relationship with a Supreme Being and a horizontal model characterizing their direct engagement with the natural world. Both models underscore the importance of a nature-based lifestyle as a cornerstone for building and maintaining sustainable human–environment relationships. Consequently, the ecological awareness inherent in the Ola Ma farming practice is crucial for cultivating, nurturing, and safeguarding nature, ensuring the continuity of both human life and the natural ecosystem. Sustaining and enhancing this awareness will require multifaceted strategies and the active engagement of diverse stakeholders.
Teachers Perspectives on the Policy of Eliminating National Examinations and Its Impact on Junior High School Students in Sleman, Yogyakarta
Teachers feel uneasy with the decreasing motivation of students to learn. This has an impact on the decreasing academic quality at the elementary and secondary education levels. One of the causes is the elimination of national exams at the elementary and secondary levels. The elimination of national exams makes students reluctant to study seriously at school. The pros and cons of the policy of eliminating the implementation of national exams in Indonesia are the background to the study of this phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to describe the perspectives of teachers on the policy of eliminating national exams and their impact on junior high school students in Sleman, Yogyakarta. This study was conducted using a qualitative method. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and literature studies. Data analysis in this study was carried out with the stages of data classification, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that 80% of teachers consider that the elimination of national exams has an impact on the lack of student learning motivation and results in a decrease in student enthusiasm in doing assignments. Thus, the results of this study are expected to be a consideration in evaluating the government's policy of eliminating national exams.
Eksplorasi Gender Dalam Seni Ketuk Tilu: Implikasinya Dalam Pendidikan Dan Budaya Masyarakat Priangan
Ketuk tilu sebagai seni pertunjukan tradisional Priangan mengalami transformasi signifikan dari ritual kesuburan agraris menjadi hiburan rakyat, menciptakan ruang negosiasi gender yang kompleks melalui interaksi ronggeng dan pamogoran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi representasi dan relasi gender dalam seni ketuk tilu serta menganalisis implikasinya terhadap praktik pendidikan dan dinamika sosial-budaya masyarakat Priangan kontemporer. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi pustaka, penelitian menganalisis sumber primer dan sekunder periode 2000-2025 melalui pendekatan hermeneutik dengan tahapan klasifikasi tematik, analisis kritis, interpretasi kontekstual, dan perumusan implikasi. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan ambivalensi simbolik ronggeng yang dihormati sebagai mediator spiritual sekaligus terstigmatisasi, dengan tubuh perempuan menjadi lokus kontestasi antara otoritas personal dan kontrol sosial. Elemen-elemen simbolik seperti selendang, gerak pinggul, dan struktur spasial pertunjukan merefleksikan konstruksi gender dalam masyarakat Sunda. Transformasi historis menunjukkan degradasi status ronggeng pada masa kolonial dan proses "domestikasi" pasca-kemerdekaan, sementara era kontemporer memunculkan reinterpretasi kritis yang menantang stereotip gender tradisional. Dalam konteks pendidikan, ditemukan kesenjangan pengintegrasian perspektif gender dalam kurikulum, meskipun muncul inisiatif inovatif berbasis komunitas yang mengembangkan pendekatan pembelajaran berperspektif gender. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa ketuk tilu dapat menjadi medium strategis untuk menegosiasikan identitas gender dalam masyarakat Priangan yang bertransformasi, dengan rekomendasi pengembangan kurikulum pendidikan seni yang memasukkan analisis kritis terhadap dimensi gender serta kolaborasi lintas-sektor dalam revitalisasi seni tradisional yang lebih inklusif. Kata kunci: Ketuk Tilu, Ronggeng, Representasi Gender, Pendidikan Seni, Budaya Priangan Ketuk tilu as a traditional performing art from Priangan has undergone significant transformation from an agrarian fertility ritual to popular entertainment, creating complex gender negotiation spaces through interactions between ronggeng (female dancers) and pamogoran (male dancers). This research aims to explore gender representation and relations in ketuk tilu art and analyze their implications for educational practices and socio-cultural dynamics of contemporary Priangan society. Using a qualitative approach based on library research, this study analyzes primary and secondary sources from 2000-2025 through hermeneutic interpretation with stages of thematic classification, critical analysis, contextual interpretation, and formulation of implications. Results reveal the symbolic ambivalence of ronggeng who are respected as spiritual mediators while simultaneously stigmatized, with the female body becoming a locus of contestation between personal authority and social control. Symbolic elements such as scarves, hip movements, and spatial structures of performances reflect gender constructions in Sundanese society. Historical transformation shows degradation of ronggeng status during colonial periods and "domestication" processes post-independence, while the contemporary era brings critical reinterpretations challenging traditional gender stereotypes. In educational contexts, gaps in integrating gender perspectives into curricula were found, although innovative community-based initiatives have developed gender-responsive learning approaches. This study concludes that ketuk tilu can serve as a strategic medium for negotiating gender identity in transforming Priangan society, with recommendations for developing arts education curricula that incorporate critical analysis of gender dimensions and cross-sector collaboration in revitalizing more inclusive traditional arts. Keywords: ketuk tilu, ronggeng, gender representation, arts education, Priangan culture

The Influence of a Scientific Approach to Improve Students’ Mathematical Understanding Ability
Mathematics is important to be taught to children, starting from elementary school to high school. Mathematics can help students to develop the ability to understand, reason, solve problems, communicate, and develop students' curiosity. Elementary school students need to have understanding skills, one of which is mathematical understanding. Currently, students' mathematical understanding skills are not optimal because students lack enthusiasm in learning, learning has not involved the role of students actively, and students feel that math is difficult. Based on this situation, there needs to be an alternative that can overcome students' difficulties in learning mathematics, namely by applying a scientific approach. This study aims to determine the effect and improvement of the application of the scientific approach to the mathematical understanding ability of the presentation and interpretation of data in class IV SDN 6 Nagrikaler. The samples used in this study were grade IV A and C students of SDN 6 Nagrikaler. The type of research in this study is Quasi Experiment with a non-equivalent control group design. This study resulted in an increase in the average experimental class better than the control class and the magnitude of the influence of the scientific approach on students' mathematical understanding ability of 41.1%. So it can be concluded that there is an increase and a good influence from the application of the scientific approach to students' mathematical understanding ability. Thus, the scientific approach can be used in grade IV learning, especially the presentation and interpretation of data.

Stigmasisasi “Perempuan Alat” di Borong, Manggarai Timur Ditinjau dari Perspektif Filsafat Karol Wojtyla
Women workers in the entertainment sector, such as pubs, are particularly vulnerable to discriminatory treatment and stigmatization from society. This issue is also prevalent among women in Borong. This study explores the community's views in Borong, East Manggarai, regarding their perceptions of women pub workers through the lens of Karol Wojtyla's philosophy. Utilizing a qualitative method, data was collected through in-depth interviews with community members. The community's perspectives from the field research were then analyzed in the context of Wojtyla's philosophical thoughts on persona. The study found that women workers in Borong's pub entertainment sector do experience societal stigmatization. The most common stigma involves labeling them as "tool women," and categorizing them as "heavy equipment" or "light equipment." This stigmatization is highly detrimental to these women. According to Wojtyla, negative stigmatization contradicts the concept of humans as unique, valuable, and precious individuals. Labeling humans as "tools" opposes the idea of humans as individuals who embody personal subjectivity. Humans, as persons, are not objects, as in the cosmological view, but are someone, based on the personalistic view. In conclusion, the stigmatization of women as tools diminishes their dignity as unique and valuable individuals. This study recommends that citizens be educated to develop solidarity and sensitivity towards human dignity. They should become individuals who respect other human beings. The stigmatization of viewing women as tools must be eradicated to uphold the noble dignity of humans. Everyone needs to learn solidarity with all, including those considered weak.

Study on the Advantages and Novel Strategies to Teaching Indonesian in Elementary Schools through the Incorporation of Deep Learning and Total Physical Response integrated Content-Language based Learning through the Whole Language Method
This research aims to examine the trends, innovations, and challenges in acquiring Indonesian language skills in elementary education. The main findings of this research emphasize critical areas such as new innovations in Indonesian language learning based on Deep Learning with the Total Physical Response integrated Content-Languagebased Learning through the Whole Language Method approach (TPR-CLIL-WLM). This research underscores the importance of collaboration between theory, principles of character values, and technology in enhancing the acquisition of Indonesian language skills. This research significantly contributes to building a foundation for future research and education, especially in the integration of locally-based innovations with deep learning methodologies in the global context of the Indonesian language. Deep Learning prioritizes student engagement through thinking, feeling, acting, and reflecting, resulting in active student participation with enjoyable and meaningful awareness. Whole language integrates students' social-functional-linguistic experiences with contextual elements in PPBI. Total Physical Response and Content-Language based Learning uphold the development of students' sociocultural constructivist perspectives. The integration of Teaching and Learning Indonesian Language (TLIL) based on Deep Learning through the TPR-CLIL-WLM approach focuses on the learning process rather than the learning outcomes, which tend to filter students with certain competencies, thus greatly valuing each student's abilities, needs, and processes. Thus, this integration is highly recommended. In addition, this integration also stimulates students to enhance the 6Cs skills as 21st-century essential skills.
