Abstract

This research explores the political education intervention of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) as an effort to promote social justice and enhance political participation among novice voters. The designed GEDSI political education program will examine the relationship between political knowledge and political engagement of novice voters, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of political rights and obligations, as well as critical skills in participating in the political process. This research method utilizes a mixed methods approach by integrating quantitative and qualitative data to explore the experiences of novice voters in terms of political knowledge and political engagement. The quantitative approach employs a quasi-experimental design with the intervention process of political education program comprising pre-test, intervention, and post-test on 36 respondents, which are then analyzed using Repeated Measures Anova. Meanwhile, qualitative data gathered from in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of novice voters throughout the process of political education intervention program are analyzed using coding analysis. The research findings indicate that after the implementation of the GEDSI political education program, there is an increase in political knowledge and political engagement among novice voters. This confirms that political education intervention can have a positive impact on strengthening political participation among novice voters, while also promoting social justice. As a recommendation, continuous efforts are needed to develop and implement political education programs that encompass various aspects of political life to broaden their scope and impact.
