Tutor Empowerment in the Non-Formal Education Ecosystem: A Digital Multimodal Based Entrepreneurship Development Model for Economic Independence in the Era of Disruption
In the midst of the structural challenges of Indonesia's job market and digital disruption, non-formal education (PNF) plays a crucial role in equipping the community with relevant skills. This article analyzes a tutor empowerment model as a strategic effort to develop digital multimodal based entrepreneurship education in the PNF program in Ungaran Regency. Using a qualitative case study approach, this study examines the process and impact of training programs designed to improve the digital and pedagogical competencies of tutors. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically. The results show that this empowerment program significantly transforms the role of tutors from conventional teachers to digital learning architects who are able to design interactive learning experiences. The implementation of multimodal pedagogy has been proven to increase student engagement and learning motivation, as well as facilitate the development of early-stage digital entrepreneurship skills. This study concludes that tutor empowerment is a critical-path factor for the success and relevance of PNF in the digital era. However, the sustainability of these innovations is highly dependent on the existence of systemic support and affirmative policies to address the professional precariats that educators in the non-formal pathway have been facing.

The Impact of Dialogical Approaches in Extension Programs on Changing Mothers' Behavior for Stunting Prevention in Rural Areas
In Indonesia, numerous initiatives have been implemented to address the issue of stunting; however, these efforts have yet to yield optimal results. This study aims to critically evaluate the effectiveness of an extension program that utilizes a dialogical approach in modifying maternal behaviors related to the provision of adequate nutrition for their children. In the context of non-formal education, extension serves as a crucial learning process for adults, particularly in enhancing their overall quality of life. The research was conducted using a quantitative methodology, employing survey techniques to gather data, which were subsequently analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. This study is among the first to empirically compare dialogical and traditional extension approaches within the context of rural Indonesia, providing robust quantitative evidence that interactive, collaborative learning environments significantly outperform conventional one-way communica-tion models in promoting sustainable behavioral changes among mothers. The findings reveal that the extension program, when executed with a dialogical approach, exerts a significant positive influence on altering mothers' nutritional practices for their children. This outcome stands in stark contrast to traditional, linear extension models, which typically rely on one-way communication from the instructor to the participants. In contrast, the dialogical approach fosters an interactive environment where mothers are encouraged not only to ask questions and share personal experiences but also to engage in a more collaborative learning process that ultimately enhances their behavioral change towards better nutrition.

Deculturalisation Trajectory of the South African Early Childhood Development Centres: Parents’ Voices
Traditionally, family sociocultural values are core to childcaring and rearing, crucial and a necessity for children’s cognitive development, growth, and learning; thus, this qualitative study sought views of parents on the sociocultural development of their 0-4-year-old children attending ECD centres/preschools/ECD Centres, in four ECD centres in the East London District, of the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa (SA). Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) Ecological Systems Theory was used as a theoretical framework to guide this study. The study was located within the Interpretivist paradigm and used a Case study design to explore the topic. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, which was analyzed using a thematic approach. Purposive sampling was used to sample fourteen parent participants comprising nine females and one male aged between 25 and 50 years and four grandmothers aged between 55 and 80 years. The research question was, do parents perceive any alignment between home and ECD centres in terms of sociocultural values. The parent participants in this study echoed the importance of family sociocultural values which are ignored and rejected by ECD centres as irrelevant. The study therefor concludes that the ECD centres are perpetuating deculturisation of mainly Black children. The study, therefore, recommends the compulsory use of South African indigenous languages in ECD centres to embed and transmit sociocultural values.
