Positive Discipline as an Agent of School Culture Transformation: A Sociological Study at SMA Negeri 2 Minas

Rizki Hardi Nata — 2026-09-30

This study examines the role of positive discipline as an agent of school culture transformation in Indonesian secondary education through a case study at SMA Negeri 2 Minas, Riau. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive sociological design, the research explores patterns of social interaction, value internalization, and cultural change within the school community. Data were gathered through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and the principal, as well as document analysis, and were analyzed thematically. The findings show that positive discipline functions not merely as a behavioral control system but as a transformative mechanism that strengthens character, reinforces collective responsibility, and cultivates a reflective school culture. Teachers shift their roles from controllers to facilitators of awareness and dialogue, while students engage actively in self-assessment and collaborative rule-making. These practices encourage empathy, inclusivity, and social cohesion, enhancing the school’s humanistic climate. The study contributes to sociological perspectives on education by framing positive discipline as a mechanism of cultural reconstruction within learning institutions, aligning with the goals of human-centered and transformative education in the 21st century.

The Sociology of Educational Datafication: Power, Surveillance, and Inequality in Digital Higher Education

Novran Juliandri Bhakti — 2026-09-30

The expansion of digital technologies in higher education has led to the emergence of datafication — the process by which educational practices and human behaviors are transformed into quantifiable data. While datafication promises efficiency, transparency, and evidence-based decision-making, it also introduces critical ethical and sociological challenges related to surveillance, power, and inequality. This literature-based study explores educational datafication through the theoretical perspectives of Michel Foucault’s disciplinary power, Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capital and social reproduction, and Neil Selwyn’s critique of digital education. By synthesizing studies published between 2018 and 2025, this research highlights how datafication has reshaped academic autonomy, intensified digital surveillance, and reproduced social hierarchies in higher education. The paper argues that understanding datafication as a sociological phenomenon not merely a technological innovation is essential for developing critical digital ethics and equitable governance in academia.

Ari Kurniawati — 2026-09-30

This study aimed to examine the influence of Chromebook use on the learning creativity of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Minas. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed. The population consisted of 72 students, with 37 students selected using purposive sampling based on active Chromebook usage. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with Spearman’s correlation using JASP software due to non-normal distribution. The result showed a positive and significant correlation (ρ = 0,668; p < 0,001), indicating that Chromebook use contributed 44,6% to the variation in students’ learning creativity. These findings suggest that digital devices, when integrated pedagogically, can enhance students’ creative thinking and problem-solving skills. Implications for teachers, schools, and future research are discussed to optimize technology integration in education.

Strengthening Leadership Attitudes in Social Relations through Models Project Based Learning Integrated with Artificial Intelligence: A Literature

Oki Fitrian Rizki — 2026-09-30

The development of education in the digital era requires learning innovations that focus not solely on cognitive aspects but also on character building and strengthening 21st-century competencies, including leadership skills. In education, leadership is not only defined as the ability to direct a group but also reflects responsibility, communication skills, the ability to make appropriate choices, and social sensitivity in establishing relationships with others. This article aims to analyze the literature on how the combination of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can contribute to strengthening students' leadership attitudes in the context of social relationships. The method used is a literature study with a content analysis approach to various relevant scientific references. The results of the review indicate that PjBL creates a collaborative and contextual learning situation, allowing students to gain experience in task division, managing differences of opinion, and collective responsibility. Meanwhile, the application of AI supports learning differentiation, data-driven reflection, monitoring group member participation, and flexible problem-solving simulations. The combination of these two approaches produces a more dynamic learning environment, involving active participation, and aligned with the individual needs of students. Therefore, the integration of PjBL and AI has the potential to be an alternative innovative learning strategy to strengthen leadership attitudes in the dynamics of social relations, especially in sociology learning.

Wahdini Dwiranda — 2026-09-30

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis – MBG) is a national policy in Indonesia aimed at improving students’ nutritional intake and supporting learning performance. However, the effectiveness of school feeding programs depends not only on food availability but also on how students socially interpret and respond to the initiative. This study examines students’ participation in the MBG program using the perspective of Weber’s social action theory.

This research employed a qualitative case study conducted at a public senior high school. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 24 students and supported by participation data from 80 students involved in the program. The sampling strategy used purposive sampling to capture diverse participation patterns. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and interpreted through Weber’s typology of social action.

The findings indicate that students’ participation is influenced by several factors, including embarrassment when consuming the packaged meals (omprengan), time constraints due to school activities, lack of interest in the menu, parental restrictions, bringing food from home, and the preference to purchase food from school canteens. These responses reflect different forms of social action: instrumentally rational, value-rational, affective, and traditional. The study highlights that the success of school feeding policies depends not only on nutritional provision but also on the social meanings attached to them by students
