Jurnal Diskursus Pendidikan Sosiologi (JDPS) is a scholarly publication focused on research studies in Sociology Education, Sociology, and Social Sciences in general. Sociology education serves as a pivotal term in generating diverse studies, encompassing aspects from the examination of learning media to investigating the implementation and impact of sociology learning. Sociology, as an interdisciplinary field, does not operate in isolation; rather, it necessitates the synthesis of various multidisciplinary approaches to comprehensively explain empirical facts within the social dimension. Serving as the foundation for scientific disciplines, sociology education accommodates various disciplines in its study. Jurnal Diskursus Pendidikan Sosiologi (JDPS) encapsulates the aspirations and conceptual thoughts derived from local, national, and international studies within the context of sociology education. As an academic forum, JDPS aims to function as a central hub for the documentation and dissemination of systematic thought results, fostering opportunities for scientific debates on various academic and real-world discourses emerging in scientific development.

Peran LSM PIKUL dalam Gerakan Sosial-Eknomi di Pulau Semau
This study examines the strategic role of PIKUL NGO in fostering socio-economic movements based on local potential in Semau Island, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. The research focuses on how NGOs act as facilitators to build independence and resilience among island communities through participatory and collaborative approaches. A descriptive qualitative case study was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with program managers, field observations, and document analysis. Data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation, while analysis followed the stages of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal that PIKUL’s participatory strategies successfully strengthened community capacity in managing local resources, improved economic well-being, and enhanced social solidarity and ecological awareness. Key programs include local food processing training, adaptive agriculture, renewable energy initiatives, and gender equality and social inclusion workshops. The study highlights that PIKUL’s empowerment model not only produces material benefits but also fosters critical awareness and self-confidence among communities. This model enriches community empowerment theory by emphasizing the importance of synergy between civil society organizations, local government, and grassroots communities in achieving sustainable development.

Rasionalitas Siswa dalam Pemilihan Jurusan di SMA
This study aims to (1) describe the background of students' rationality in choosing a major in high school, and (2) explain the relationship between actors and resources in the decision-making process. The research method used is a qualitative case study approach, involving six 12th-grade students at SMA Negeri 97 Jakarta. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and literature study, then analyzed descriptively using Coleman's rational choice theory framework. The results of the study indicate that internal factors, especially interests, talents, and future orientation, are the main determinants in major selection. External factors such as parental support, peer influence, and the role of guidance counselors function as supporting factors, not the main determinants. In addition, students are able to consider the advantages and disadvantages of the chosen major. These findings confirm that major selection is the result of interactions between actors (students) and resources (family and self-potential), which impacts the direction of their education and career.

Pergeseran Makna Anak Dalam Praktik Pilihan Hidup Tanpa Anak (Childfree)
Childfree is a conscious decision made by individuals or couples to not have children, a phenomenon increasingly visible among urban women in Jakarta. This choice often challenges dominant social, cultural, and religious norms that define motherhood as a central role for women. The study aims to explore the background of women’s decision-making in Jakarta, interpret the meaning of childfree for them, and analyze this phenomenon within Zygmunt Bauman’s concept of liquid modernity. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, conducted in Jakarta between October–November 2023 and November 2024. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review, involving four key informants and two triangulation informants. The qualitative design allowed for a deeper understanding of the subjective experiences and interpretations of women who consciously chose to be childfree. Findings reveal that childfree is not merely a rejection of motherhood but a pursuit of meaning, autonomy, and self-determination. Financial, psychological, and philosophical considerations strongly influence these decisions, while challenges arise from family expectations, peer groups, and cultural norms that continue to stigmatize childfree women. Social media plays a crucial role as a space for education, discussion, and emotional support, enabling women to connect with communities that validate their choices. Ultimately, childfree emerges as part of the broader dynamics of urban modernity, reflecting shifting values, individualization, and the negotiation of identity in contemporary society.

Partisipasi Politik Digital melalui Aplikasi X
This study aims to (1) describe the reasons why individuals use X accounts as a medium for political participation, (2) identify the forms of political participation carried out before and after the 2024 Presidential Election, and (3) explain the social and political impacts experienced by account owners and the wider digital community. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed, focusing on seven X accounts actively engaged in political participation. Data were collected through observation of posts, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and validated using triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that the main motivations for political participation through X include a sense of safety in expressing opinions, interest in learning about politics, awareness of the influence of political dynamics on daily life, and identification with political figures. The forms of participation observed encompass digital campaigning, online discussions, expressions of criticism and support toward the government, and contributions to demonstrations. Political participation via X has significant implications for digital democracy by expanding access to information, strengthening social interaction among users, fostering collective awareness, and opening spaces for public deliberation. These results highlight X as a crucial digital arena that reinforces democratic practices in Indonesia.

Tebet Eco Park sebagai Ruang Sosial Inklusif bagi Penyandang Disabilitas
This study examines the extent to which the claim of Tebet Eco Park as an inclusive urban park, following its revitalization, is realized in practice, and how persons with disabilities experience and interpret the park as a social space. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, documentation, and literature review involving five persons with disabilities and triangulation informants from the Jakarta City Parks and Forestry Agency, park management, and non-disabled visitors. The findings reveal that while the revitalization primarily emphasized ecological and aesthetic improvements, the inclusivity dimension remains limited. Barriers identified include uneven guiding blocks, insufficient tactile information, and restricted accessibility of facilities. Despite these challenges, persons with disabilities continue to use the park as a site of social reproduction through recreational activities, adapting to spatial constraints in various ways. Conceptually, the study positions urban parks as social spaces in the process of becoming inclusive, highlighting the gap between the official representation of inclusive space and the lived experiences of users with disabilities. These insights contribute to the theoretical discourse on Lefebvre’s production of space and provide practical recommendations for policymakers and urban planners to strengthen accessibility and equity in public space design.
