BEduManagers Journal : Borneo Educational Management and Research Journal
Scope The BEduManagers Journal : Borneo Educational Management and Research Jornal provides those interested in the effective management of the educational process with a broad overview of developments and best practice in the field, with particular reference to how new ideas can be applied in the educational environment and worldwide. Educational management refers to the administration of the education system in which a group combines human and material resources to supervise, plan, strategies, and implement structures to execute an education system. The education system is an ecosystem of professionals in educational institutions, such as government ministries, unions, statutory boards, agencies, and schools. As the whole structure and philosophy of education goes through a sea-change, and as budgets are cut, educational managers need to keep abreast of new developments in order to maximize their resources and determine the most appropriate management strategy for their institution.

Stimulasi Gangguan Artikulasi Anak Usia 4-6 Tahun Melalui Permainan Ampar-Ampar Pisang di TK Buah Hati Kutai
Abstract Articulation disorder is a speech impairment in children characterized by difficulty in correctly pronouncing phonemes, thus requiring stimulation according to developmental stages. This study aims to examine the implementation of articulation disorder stimulation in children aged 4-6 years through the Ampar-Ampar Pisang game at Buah Hati Kindergarten, Kutai Kartanegara, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors. The research employed a qualitative case study method with five children as research subjects. Data were collected through non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity tested using source and technique triangulation. The results showed that stimulation was carried out in four stages: introduction, play, repetition, and evaluation. In the introduction stage, educators build emotional readiness; in the play stage, children actively play while singing; lyric repetition strengthens articulation; and evaluation is conducted to record children’s articulation progress. Supporting factors for stimulation include a cheerful play atmosphere, educator consistency, regular play routines, and parental involvement. Inhibiting factors include differences in character, children’s emotional levels, and an unconducive environment. The study concludes that enjoyable play fosters children’s confidence and motivation in pronouncing difficult phonemes. From a neuroscience perspective, songs and movements activate auditory, motor, and emotional areas simultaneously, strengthening neural pathways involved in articulation development. The novelty of this research lies in utilizing the Ampar-Ampar Pisang game as an articulation stimulation medium integrated with neuroscience and contextual learning approaches, which remain rarely explored in early childhood education.
Penguatan Identitas Budaya Siswa Sekolah Dasar Melalui Pembelajaran Berbasis Kearifan Lokal: Kajian Hubungan Manusia, Kebudayaan, Dan Pendidikan Karakter
The cultural identity crisis among the younger generation, particularly elementary school students, is a serious challenge in the era of globalization, which is increasingly eroding local wisdom values. This article aims to critically examine the relationship between humans, culture, and elementary education, and to analyze the role of local wisdom-based learning in strengthening cultural identity and character development in elementary school students. The method used is a systematic literature study with a descriptive qualitative approach, sourced from indexed national and international journals over the past decade. The results of the study indicate that humans and culture are inseparable entities; culture dialectically shapes human perspectives, values, and behavior. In the context of elementary education, local wisdom, which encompasses the values ​​of mutual cooperation, deliberation, courtesy, tolerance, and responsibility, plays a strategic role in the holistic and contextual formation of student character. Local wisdom-based learning has been proven to strengthen students' socio-cultural identity, increase the relevance of education to real life, and serve as a foundation for authentic character development. This article recommends the systematic integration of local wisdom into the elementary school curriculum as a critical response to cultural homogenization caused by globalization. These findings contribute to the development of an educational approach grounded in the nation's cultural roots.
Implementasi Pembelajaran Deep Learning dalam Manajemen TK Berbasis PAUD Holistik Integratif

A Learning Culture of Generation Z in Arabic and English Language Education in the Era of Digital Disruption
This study aims to describe the learning culture of Generation Z in Arabic and English language education in the era of digital disruption. This qualitative literature study employs a descriptive-analytical approach by examining relevant books and scientific publications from the last decade to identify the characteristics, learning behaviours, and technological influences shaping this generation. The research objects are studies discussing Generation Z and their learning culture in language education, while data were collected through documentation techniques and analysed using content analysis. The findings show that Generation Z demonstrates a fast, visual, interactive, and technology-based learning orientation, supported by digital platforms, multimedia resources, and gamified learning environments. Their learning culture reflects autonomy, collaboration, and global connectivity, yet it is also challenged by digital distraction, low critical digital literacy, and unequal digital resource availability—particularly in Arabic language learning. English learning benefits from abundant digital materials, while Arabic learning remains limited in academic digital content. The study concludes that effective language education for Generation Z requires blended learning, gamification, critical digital literacy reinforcement, and the active role of lecturers as facilitators who guide students to use technology productively. These results imply the need for curriculum redesign, pedagogical innovation, and improved digital infrastructure to support adaptive and future-oriented language learning.

Dosen PPPK antara Profesionalisme dan Kepastian Karier: Perspektif Manajemen Pendidikan
Abstrak - Kebijakan pengangkatan dosen sebagai Pegawai Pemerintah dengan Perjanjian Kerja (PPPK) sering diposisikan sebagai solusi efisiensi dan profesionalisasi sumber daya manusia pendidikan tinggi. Namun, dari perspektif kebijakan publik dan manajemen pendidikan, kebijakan ini menyisakan persoalan fundamental terkait keadilan, keberlanjutan karier, dan tata kelola profesi dosen. Artikel ini bertujuan mengajukan argumen kritis mengenai ketegangan antara tuntutan profesionalisme dan lemahnya kepastian karier dosen PPPK melalui pendekatan literature review. Kajian dilakukan terhadap publikasi ilmiah dan dokumen kebijakan dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir. Hasil telaah menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan PPPK cenderung menempatkan profesionalisme sebagai kewajiban individual dosen tanpa diiringi desain kebijakan karier yang sistemik dan berkelanjutan. Ketidakjelasan jalur karier, keterbatasan akses terhadap jabatan akademik dan struktural berdampak terhadap mutu akreditasi program studi, serta perbedaan hak dengan dosen PNS menunjukkan adanya inkonsistensi antara tujuan profesionalisasi dan praktik kebijakan. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa tanpa reformulasi kebijakan yang berorientasi pada keadilan dan keberlanjutan, skema PPPK berpotensi melemahkan komitmen profesi dan mutu pendidikan tinggi dalam jangka panjang. Kata kunci : dosen PPPK, kebijakan publik, profesionalisme, kepastian karier, manajemen pendidikan.
