The study employed qualitative description with SWOT and ASOCA Analysis. In Bandung Regency, there's a notable security vulnerability. The data indicates: 1) Potential disturbances exceed 70%, 2) Disorder threshold surpasses 60%, and 3) Actual disruptions are above 30%. Addressing this and to achieve structural synchronization between the National Police and the Regional Government, a strategy is devised titled \"Structural Reform of the Police Organization at the Village Government Level.\" This aims to optimize police performance, resonating with the National Police's 2005-2025 Grand Strategy. SWOT analysis reveals 1) Strength in Leadership, 2) Weakness in Organizational Structure, 3) Opportunities within the Legal Framework, and 4) Threats from misalignment with the Village's Regional Government. ASOCA Analysis emphasizes several factors. Internally, it points out the Police Leadership's ability and members' loyalty. It stresses the importance of harnessing police resources and an Organizational Performance Improvement Program. There's a highlight on the intellectual prowess of police members and their potential to act creatively. Externally, the community's aspiration for better police service is noted. The Bandung Regency's distinct culture and traditions play a role. Challenges persist, like the misalignment of the organizational structure with geographical realities and limited flexibility in local Police management. Community participation and educational levels remain concerns. Lastly, the Village Police follows a \"Line and Staff Organization\" model. This aligns with the higher-level organizational structure, emphasizing task decentralization and role clarity, ensuring a robust hierarchy and efficient task delegation.","PeriodicalId":506933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139236072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limited career opportunities, high demands of teaching, and low pay deter new recruits from joining the teaching profession. The objective of the present study is to find the relationship between pre-service teachers’ emotional intelligence and their perceptions of self-efficacy. The study randomly selected 103 student teachers who have enrolled in the two-year Bachelor of Education program. Data collected using questionnaires were analysed by employing Pearson product-moment correlation to examine the correlation between the variables. Results of the study revealed that there exists a statistically significant positive correlation between pre-service teachers’ emotional intelligence and their perceptions of self-efficacy. The results of the study might help researchers, teacher educators, and curriculum designers of teacher education to focus on aspects that might enhance their emotional intelligence and self-efficacy, which will help young recruits in the teaching profession to excel in their profession as well as governments and institutions to retain the teachers in the profession.","PeriodicalId":506933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":"73 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139259915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the native language of the community is Thai, Malay is taught as an additional language due to its cultural and historical significance. The study adopts a qualitative approach, conducting interviews and surveys with community members, educators, and language experts. Participants' perspectives and experiences regarding their proficiency in Malay as a second language are examined to understand their motivations, challenges, and perceived benefits. Preliminary findings indicate that learning Malay facilitates improved communication with the Malay-speaking community and enhances cultural exchange. Additionally, it grants access to historical and religious texts written in Jawi script, strengthening their connection to their cultural heritage. The research focuses on the impact of learning Malay as a second language on social integration within the Muslim community of Ban Iso Narathiwat, Thailand. It aims to investigate how the learning of Malay influences interactions, mutual understanding, and social relationships in a diverse and dynamic community. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term effects of bilingualism and its implications on other aspects of community life.","PeriodicalId":506933,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Studies","volume":"16 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139269797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
