This collection contains selected papers from The Third  Economic, Law, Education and Humanities International Conference (3th ELEHIC 2022) held in Padang, Indonesia on  November, 23^rd,  2022. This event was hosted by the Faculty of Economy and Business, Faculty of Cultural Science, Faculty of Law, and Faculty of Education of Universitas Bung Hatta.

The conference was held to address institutional transitions occurring in Indonesia’s public and private spheres, as technology, religious integrity, and the COVID-19 pandemic continue to influence an evolving society.  

This collection contains 24 peer-reviewed articles utilising multidisciplinary models of analysis to explore key questions posed by social scientists across the Global South. Scholars explore the need for new legal frameworks to protect working citizens in the age of technology and social uncertainty. As digital applications and artificial intelligence continue to take over human resources and support roles, employees in many industries are left legally vulnerable to the decision-making processes of these same technologies, sometimes being completely replaced by them. Legal frameworks are therefore required to adapt to Industry 4.0 at an exponential rate to maintain their relevance for the everyday lives of Indonesia’s population. This special issue deals with both practical and theoretical questions about the role of technology in job security and industry development within the Indonesian context.  

These papers will be of interest to academics, students, and professionals researching or working on Economics, Law, Cultural Science, and Education.

This collection contains selected papers from the International Conference on Learning Innovation and Research in Basic Education 2022 held in Malang, Indonesia on 3-4 September 2022. This event was hosted by the Graduate School Universitas Negeri Malang.

The conference was organised to attract speakers and delegates interested in the themes of transformation and innovation in basic and primary education environments. Education for young children is considered one of the cornerstones of development for most societies across the Global South. However, in a post-pandemic society, the role of teachers and educational institutions has evolved, supporting children through their emotional and character development, a task historically isolated within the home. Furthermore, the Fourth Industrial Revolution has seen a rise in the use of technology by students at an accelerated rate, both within and beyond the classroom. This, then, forms the backdrop of this collection of 25 peer-reviewed papers that investigate the impact of educational infrastructures on the development of technical skillsets and character in students.

Containing a diverse array of studies evaluating the successes and challenges relating to new teaching models and the development of emotionally healthy and technologically literate young minds, this special guest-edited issue will be of interest to academics, students, or professionals researching or working on basic and primary Education.
