Intergenerational learning and Sikolohiyang Pilipino

Research on intergenerational learning delves into both the reciprocal transfer of knowledge and learning relationships between different generations. However, as this is an emerging research topic, there is a gap in the information available from various cultures. This paper aims to present intergenerational learning through the development of non-western indigenous psychology via the lens of Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Filipino psychology) in order to broaden the existing perspectives and understanding of intergenerational learning, engagements, and programs. By utilizing the theoretical framework of Sikolohiyang Pilipino, notably as espoused by Virgilio Enriquez, indigenous Filipino values are identified as key to understanding the predominance of family and community as venues and arenas for intergenerational learning in the Philippines. This underscores the importance of using the philosophical arguments associated with different cultural perspectives to challenge current assumptions and biases in intergenerational research and of being mindful when applying concepts that predominate in one culture to another. Additional intergenerational research in the Philippines will benefit from the inclusion of Sikolohiyang Pilipino as a theoretical framework since this will enable a deeper understanding of educational concepts within Filipino culture.

"Bukan hanya sekedar kumpulan kutipan wawancara": Meningkatkan kualitas riset kualitatif bidang psikologi di Indonesia

Relativitas merupakan kata kunci yang menggambarkan irisan antara psikologi ulayat dan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif. Paradigma pendekatan kualitatif mengapresiasi keberagaman dan subjektivitas realitas, yang oleh hegemoni paradigma kuantitatif (positivisme) dianggap kurang ilmiah dan kurang ajeg. Saya mengkritisi perkembangan kualitas dan kuantitas studi kualitatif pada artikel-artikel yang diterbitkan di Jurnal Psikologi Ulayat: Indonesian Journal of Indigenous Psychology. Pada periode 2017–2020, jumlah artikel kualitatif pada jurnal ini menempati posisi yang sebanding dengan artikel dengan pendekatan lainnya. Meski jumlah yang sebanding ini menunjukkan minat dan persepsi yang positif terhadap pendekatan kualitatif, namun masih ada beberapa ruang perbaikan yang perlu dipikirkan untuk meningkatkan kualitas studi kualitatif. Dalam catatan editorial ini, saya mengedepankan beberapa argumen yang menekankan pentingnya mengintegrasikan tradisi kritik untuk membuat studi kualitatif lebih bermakna dan holistik dalam menggambarkan realita yang dikonstruksikan subjek penelitian.
