Digital Learning Factory for Developing Soft Skills and Scientific Creativity of Prospective Science Teachers toward SDG 4
Objective: This study aims to analyze the urgency of implementing the Learning Factory (LF) model in developing soft skills and scientific creativity in prospective science teachers at the Faculty of Science, Engineering, and Applied Sciences (FSTT) of Mandalika University of Education. This study also aims to identify the gap between the competencies acquired during education and the needs of the world of work in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Method: This study uses a survey approach through a tracer study involving alumni of the Physics Education, Chemistry Education, Biology Education, and Mathematics Education study programs at FSTT Undikma. Data were collected through questionnaires to determine the relevance of graduates' competencies to the needs of the world of work, then analyzed descriptively. Results: The results showed that most alumni were able to find employment relatively quickly after graduation. However, some alumni felt that the jobs they obtained were not fully in line with their field of study. This indicates a gap between higher education competencies and the needs of the world of work. The Learning Factory model, which is based on project-based learning and industrial experience, has the potential to improve technical skills while strengthening students' collaboration, communication, and innovation abilities. Novelty: This study highlights the importance of integrating the Learning Factory model with the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach to improve graduate employability through the development of more holistic competencies that are relevant to the needs of the world of work.

The Use of Technology Bloom's Taxonomy in Formative and Summative Evaluation: A Systematic Literature Review
Objective: This study aims to systematically examine the use of Bloom's Taxonomy in formative and summative evaluations as an important instrument for measuring student learning outcomes. The revised Bloom's Taxonomy offers a systematic cognitive framework from levels C1 (remembering) to C6 (creating), which can be used as a basis for developing valid and meaningful evaluations. Method: This study was conducted using a systematic literature review method on 30 articles published between 2020 and 2025. The analysis results indicate that the application of Bloom's Taxonomy in formative evaluations is still dominated by lower cognitive levels (C1-C2), despite efforts to strengthen the approach to higher-order thinking. Meanwhile, Bloom-based summative evaluations have demonstrated increased validity and alignment with learning outcomes, particularly through the use of rubrics and authentic assessments. Results: This study also identified various challenges, such as low teacher competency in developing taxonomy-based instruments and the suboptimal integration of technology, including artificial intelligence, to support adaptive evaluation. Nevertheless, several practical strategies were identified, such as teacher training, the use of competency-based question banks, and the development of digital-based project evaluations. Novelty: The integration of Bloom's Taxonomy into learning evaluation has significant potential to improve assessment quality, mainly if supported by systemic policies, ongoing training, and technological innovation. This research provides a conceptual contribution to the development of an evaluation system that is fair, objective, and relevant to the needs of 21st-century education.
Assessing the Equity of Educational Access in the Prabowo Administration Era: Policy Analysis and Alternative Solutions Toward Inclusive Education in Indonesia
Objective: Equitable access to education is a fundamental prerequisite for human capital development and social justice in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of education equity policies under the administration of President Prabowo Subianto, focusing on programs such as Sekolah Rakyat, the Indonesia Smart Program (PIP), and the Frontline Teacher and School Initiatives (GGD/SGD). Method: Employing a qualitative approach through library research, the study systematically reviews secondary data from scholarly literature published in the last five years, government policy documents, and reports from national and international institutions, including UNICEF and UNESCO. The analysis was conducted through thematic coding, synthesis of findings, and evaluative assessment using an input–output–outcome framework. Results: The findings reveal that affirmative programs have significantly expanded access to education, particularly in frontier, outermost, and underdeveloped (3T) regions, as well as for marginalized groups. However, persistent challenges remain in the uneven distribution and quality of teachers, inadequate physical and digital infrastructure, limited digital literacy, and policy approaches that are still largely top-down and insufficiently responsive to local contexts. These issues hinder the achievement of truly inclusive and high-quality education. Novelty: The key contribution of this study lies in its integrative perspective that combines structural (infrastructure), technological (digital platforms), human resource (teachers), and normative (human rights-based) dimensions. By advancing adaptive, evidence-based, and participatory strategies, this study provides a comprehensive framework for reshaping education policy in Indonesia toward greater inclusivity and equity.
Rebranding and Restructuring Strategy of Physics Education Study Program in PTS NTB: UNDIKMA Case Study
Objective: This study investigates the declining enrollment trend in the Physics Education Study Program at Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika (UNDIKMA), a private higher education institution in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The objective is to identify the factors contributing to reduced student interest and to propose strategic interventions to revitalize the program amid increasing competition between public and private universities. Method: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining longitudinal analysis of enrollment data with qualitative insights from interviews, surveys, and document reviews. Comparative data from similar study programs at both private and public universities in the region were also examined. Additionally, SWOT and TOWS analyses were conducted to generate strategic recommendations.

Technological Evaluation of Binder Type and Percentage on the Calorific Value and Combustion Rate of Tobacco Stem Briquettes
Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of binder type and percentage on tobacco stem briquettes' calorific value and combustion rate. It also seeks to integrate sensor-based technology to enhance the accuracy of thermal performance measurements, aligning with sustainable energy research and innovation. Method: The research employs an experimental method conducted in three main stages: material preparation, briquette production, and performance testing. The briquettes were made from Tobacco Stem Charcoal (TSC) combined with two types of binders—Tapioca Flour Binder (TFB) and Glutinous Rice Flour Binder (GRFB)—at varying percentages (10%, 12.5%, and 15%). Combustion rate and calorific value were measured using a combination of manual testing and digital sensors (e.g., thermocouples and data loggers), allowing for real-time monitoring and accurate thermal profiling. Results: The results showed that increasing the binder percentage led to a higher calorific value and a lower combustion rate. Calorific values for TFB reached up to 11,844.89 cal, while GRFB reached 10,038 cal. In contrast, TFB's combustion rate decreased from 0.5569 g/min to 0.3826 g/min as the binder percentage increased. Sensor-based measurements confirmed the thermal performance patterns and provided more detailed combustion dynamics data. Novelty: This study contributes to optimizing bio-briquette formulation using agricultural waste and introduces digital sensor technology into the testing process. Integrating technological tools allows for enhanced measurement precision, making this approach a novel contribution to environmentally friendly energy solutions and applied physics education.
