The Role of Family and Peer Support in Promoting Students’ School-Related Well-Being during Crisis: A Mediation Model of Basic Psychological Needs
The enforcement of physical distancing measures to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 led the Indonesian government to implement remote learning. This situation created challenges for students’ academic well-being due to changes in their social environments. Grounded in Basic Psychological Needs Theory (BPNT; Deci & Ryan, 2000, 2017), the present study examined a model linking social support (from family, friends, and significant others) to school-related subjective well-being through the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy, relatedness, and competence) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 665 Indonesian students who participated in home-based learning. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to test the proposed hypotheses. The single-level model analysis indicated that social support was strongly associated with school-related subjective well-being, and this relationship was mediated by basic psychological needs. Further multiple-mediator analyses revealed that satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs mediated the relationship between family and friend support and school-related subjective well-being. However, basic psychological needs did not mediate the effect of significant others’ support on subjective well-being. These findings contribute to the literature on psychological well-being by highlighting the mediating role of basic psychological needs in the relationship between different sources of social support and students’ school-related subjective well-being.
Assessment Structuring in the Problem Based Learning Model in Sociology Learning at SMAN 1 Gurah
Learning is a process in which a person's environment is intentionally arranged to enable individuals to engage in certain behaviors under specific conditions or to generate responses to specific situations. One learning model widely used to involve active student involvement is Problem Based Learning (PBL). Based on the results of data collection on learning patterns for sociology subjects at SMAN 1 Gurah, it was found that in learning practices there are still several problems, especially in terms of assessment. Therefore, this study was conducted to describe the process of preparing assessments by grade XI teachers in implementing the Problem Based Learning model at SMAN 1 Gurah and identify obstacles that arise along with strategies used to overcome them. By using observation, interview and documentation methods. The resulting data shows that the application of assessments in the PBL model at SMAN 1 Gurah has led to meaningful learning practices as stated by Ausubel, although it still requires strengthening in pedagogical communication and development of assessment literacy so that assessments can function optimally as a means of supporting learning and supporting the Pancasila student profile.

Revitalizing Local Knowledge to Address Students’ Moral Degradation in the Metaverse Era: An Embedded Mixed Methods Digital Sociology Study
The rapid development of digital technology, particularly the emergence of the metaverse, has fundamentally reshaped adolescents’ patterns of social interaction, cultural practices, and moral frameworks. While the metaverse provides new opportunities for learning and communication, it also raises serious concerns regarding moral degradation, especially among high school students as digital natives who are highly vulnerable to global influences. The weakening of local cultural values, which have long served as moral compasses, further exacerbates this condition. Therefore, an integrative approach is required to safeguard moral resilience in digital environments. This study aims to measure the level of students’ moral degradation, analyze the relationship between moral perception and moral construction, and explore strategies for revitalizing local wisdom as a mitigation effort. An embedded mixed methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from 202 students through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed with Jamovi 2.6.44 using descriptive statistics, reliability testing, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. Qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with teachers and cultural figures, then analyzed through thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s procedures. The results show that both moral perception and moral construction are categorized as high. However, the significant correlation (r = 0.675; p < 0.001) reveals a gap between moral awareness and behavior. Qualitative findings emphasize that local values such as Maja Labo Dahu and Nggahi Rawi Pahu have potential as cultural filters, though their application in virtual interactions remains inconsistent.
Negotiation of Chinese Identity in Islamic Education in Public Schools: An Anthropological Study at SMPN 2 Pontianak
Amid the increasing complexity of cultural and religious diversity in public schools, maintaining the sustainability of inclusive Islamic values is becoming increasingly urgent. This study aims to examine how Islamic education in multiethnic schools can be a space for identity negotiation between Islam and Chineseness, especially for Chinese students at SMP Negeri 2 Pontianak City. This study uses an anthropological approach with qualitative methods, involving participatory observation and in-depth interviews with 9 informants, consisting of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, homeroom teachers, Chinese students, and parents. The results show that the practice of Islamic education in this school is carried out through a humanistic approach that is open to diversity, without emphasizing cultural uniformity. Interethnic interactions run harmoniously and contribute to the formation of tolerance values and cross-cultural understanding. Islamic education not only functions as a medium for fostering religiosity, but also strengthens inclusive citizenship identity. This study contributes to the development of a pedagogical model based on local wisdom and universal Islamic values in creating a moderate, fair, and adaptive learning space in a multicultural formal education environment.

Hegemony and Transformation: A Comprehensive Analysis of Gender Issues in the Global Dynamics of the 21st Century
Gender inequality remains one of the most pressing challenges on the global development agenda. Although significant progress has been achieved through the MDGs and SDGs, the gap between men and women in economic access, political representation, and personal security remains very wide. This study aims to explore the sociological roots of gender inequality, its impact on the global economy, and how the currents of globalization and digitalization create both new opportunities and threats to gender justice. The method used in this study is a comprehensive analysis through an in-depth literature review of patriarchal structures, intersectionality theory, and the dynamics of gender issues in the 21st century. The analysis covers the mechanisms of perpetuating patriarchy through the institutions of family, education, and religion, as well as its manifestations in the capitalist economy and digital space. The results show that patriarchal hegemony remains a structure that is difficult to dismantle and is transforming into more complex forms in the digital era, such as technology-mediated gender-based violence. The gender wage gap and unpaid care work continue to hinder global economic potential, while women's representation in strategic decision-making remains far from targets. Intersectionality theory emphasizes that the discrimination experienced by women overlaps with issues of race, class, and colonialism, thus requiring non-monolithic solutions. This study concludes that gender transformation is not merely a moral issue but a prerequisite for the progress of civilization, demanding legal reform, inclusive education, and cross-national commitment to deconstruct oppressive hegemonic structures.

This study examines the position of religion in development through a descriptive-qualitative approach using literature review. Religion is not only understood as a spiritual belief system but also as a source of ethics, social guidance, and cultural power that shapes public policy and the direction of national development. In the Indonesian context, religion is closely linked to Pancasila and national identity, meaning that development is not entirely secular but grounded in divine values, social justice, and humanity. The findings indicate that religion contributes significantly to education, economy, socio-cultural life, politics, and environmental sustainability through institutions such as Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), zakat and waqf systems, religious philanthropy, interfaith moderation, and eco-theology. However, religion also faces challenges including secularization, politicization of faith, radicalism, commercialization of religion, and moral decline. Therefore, a constructive integration between religious values, scientific knowledge, and public policy is essential to achieve holistic, ethical, and sustainable development. Consequently, religion should not be seen as an obstacle to modernization but as a moral compass that guides development toward justice, dignity, and civility. Keywords: religion, development, ethics, Indonesia, religious moderation. Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas posisi agama dalam pembangunan dengan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif berbasis studi literatur. Agama dipahami bukan sekadar sistem kepercayaan spiritual, tetapi juga sebagai sumber etika, pedoman sosial, dan kekuatan budaya yang mempengaruhi kebijakan publik serta arah pembangunan nasional. Dalam konteks Indonesia, agama memiliki keterkaitan yang kuat dengan Pancasila dan identitas kebangsaan, sehingga pembangunan tidak bersifat sekuler murni, melainkan berlandaskan nilai Ketuhanan, keadilan sosial, dan kemanusiaan. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa agama memiliki kontribusi signifikan pada bidang pendidikan, ekonomi, sosial-budaya, politik, dan lingkungan melalui pesantren, zakat-wakaf, filantropi, moderasi beragama, serta eco-theology. Namun, peran agama juga menghadapi tantangan seperti sekularisasi, politisasi agama, radikalisme, komersialisasi, dan degradasi moral. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan integrasi yang konstruktif antara nilai agama, ilmu pengetahuan, dan kebijakan publik agar pembangunan berjalan secara holistik, beretika, dan berkelanjutan. Dengan demikian, agama tidak menjadi hambatan modernisasi, tetapi berfungsi sebagai kompas moral (moral compass) dalam mewujudkan pembangunan yang adil, bermartabat, dan berkeadaban. Kata Kunci: agama, pembangunan, moral, Indonesia, moderasi beragama

These media are considered capable of facilitating contextual, reflective, and applicable biotechnology learning so that they are relevant to support the achievement of SDGs 2 related to sustainable food security
Philosophy of Islamic Education for Development Character Education Digital Era within Primary Education in Pangandaran Regency
The rapid development of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the learning ecology of primary school aged children, thereby generating new challenges in the development of character education. This study aims to analyze how the philosophy of Islamic education, through the philosophical frameworks of ontology, epistemology, and axiology, can serve as both a conceptual and operational foundation for character education development in the digital era within primary education in Pangandaran Regency. The research employs a qualitative approach with an interpretive critical paradigm, utilizing philosophical inquiry alongside contextual empirical analysis that includes social data, educational policy documents, and relevant findings from previous studies. The findings indicate that digital character education should not be understood merely as the addition of media ethics content, but rather as an inherent component of the fundamental aims of Islamic education in cultivating morally grounded and dignified human beings. Ontologically, learners are positioned as moral subjects who must be guided to responsibly manage digital freedom. Epistemologically, character formation requires authentic experiences, habituation, and reflective processes within real digital contexts. Axiologically, the use of technology must be oriented toward public benefit (maṣlaḥah), the protection of human dignity, and the strengthening of learners’ agency. These findings suggest the necessity of developing a model of character education based on digital ta’dīb that integrates Islamic values, digital literacy, school culture, teachers’ exemplarity, and collaboration among families and communities. This model is considered relevant for addressing the challenges of character education in the digital era in a contextual and sustainable manner

Teacher Strategies in Cultivating Empathy and Sympathy in Students at State Junior High School 7 Muaro Jambi
Empathy and sympathy are essential elements in character development and social harmony, especially during adolescence. In the context of education, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in instilling these values thru learning integrated with Islamic moral and social teachings. However, at SMP Negeri 7 Muaro Jambi, low levels of empathy and sympathy were still found among 7th-grade students, as reflected in their lack of caring behavior and weak positive social interaction. This study aims to analyze teachers' strategies in fostering empathy and sympathy among seventh-grade students thru Islamic Religious Education (PAI) lessons. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained thru observation, interviews, and documentation, which were then analyzed descriptively thru data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing processes. The research findings indicate that PAI teachers employ several key strategies, namely modeling attitudes, cultivating positive social behaviors, discussions and group work, integrating Islamic values into learning materials, and a personal approach to students. These strategies have been proven to foster the development of empathy and sympathy in students, as demonstrated by their caring attitude, mutual respect, helpfulness, and ability to understand the feelings of others in school life.
Actualization of Islamic Education Curriculum Values from the Perspective of the Philosophy of Science in the Era of Artificial Intelligence (A Study at SMPN 4 Banjar City)
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents both challenges and strategic opportunities for the field of education, including the strengthening of the Islamic Education Curriculum. This study aims to analyze the actualization of Islamic Education curriculum values from the perspective of the philosophy of science in the era of artificial intelligence, based on an empirical study conducted at SMPN 4 Banjar City. The focus of the analysis is directed toward how the ontological, epistemological, and axiological values of Islamic Education are internalized and adapted within learning practices that increasingly engage with AI-based technologies. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of curriculum documents and instructional practices. The findings indicate that the actualization of Islamic Education curriculum values positions students not only as learners who are faithful and morally grounded, but also as rational and critical agents capable of utilizing AI technology in an ethical and responsible manner. From the perspective of the philosophy of science, the ontological dimension is reflected in the reinforcement of the understanding of human nature as rational and moral beings; the epistemological dimension is evident in the integration of sources of knowledge derived from revelation, reason, and technology; while the axiological dimension is manifested in value orientations toward public benefit (maslahah), justice, and social responsibility. This study affirms that Islamic Education in the era of artificial intelligence should not adopt a resistant stance toward technology, but rather undertake a reflective and critical reconstruction of values in order to remain relevant, humanistic, and transformative in shaping students’ character amid digital disruption.

The Influence of Marketing Mix and Brand Image on the Decision to Choose Kindergarten Education in South Semarang: The Mediating Role of Parental Trust
This study analyzes the factors influencing parental decision-making when selecting a kindergarten (TK) in South Semarang, Indonesia. It examines the direct and indirect effects of the marketing mix—conceptualized through price, place, and physical evidence—and brand image on the school choice process, with trust hypothesized as a critical mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire distributed via WhatsApp to parents of kindergarten students. Data from 153 valid responses were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0.0.9. The results confirm that both the marketing mix and brand image exert significant positive direct effects on parental trust and, subsequently, on the school decision-making process. Trust fully mediates the relationship between the marketing mix and decision-making and partially mediates the relationship between brand image and decision-making. Notably, brand image demonstrates the strongest direct influence on the final choice. The model explains a substantial proportion of variance in trust (65.8%) and in the decision-making process (67.8%). This research provides a nuanced, context-specific model for early childhood education (PAUD) marketing within a developing urban setting.

Internalizing Islamic Education through the Tablighi Jamaat Movement in Shaping the Religious Character of the Wetu Telu Indigenous Community of Bayan, Lombok
This research examines the process of internalizing Islamic education through the Jamaah Tabligh movement in shaping the religious character of the Wetu Telu indigenous community in Bayan, Lombok. The Wetu Telu community is an indigenous community with unique Islamic practices, blending local traditions with Islamic teachings. The presence of the Jamaah Tabligh movement, as a transnational da'wah (Islamic missionary) movement, has significantly influenced the transformation of religious understanding and practices among the local community. This research aims to analyze the da'wah strategies of Jamaah Tabligh in internalizing Islamic educational values, identify the dynamics of interaction between normative Islamic teachings and Wetu Telu local traditions, and evaluate the impact of the movement on the formation of the community's religious character. A qualitative approach using ethnographic methods was employed to collect data through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies. The results show that Jamaah Tabligh applies a persuasive and cultural approach in the process of internalizing Islamic education, emphasizing practical worship, noble morals, and purification of faith. This internalization process faces challenges in the form of cultural resistance and concerns about the loss of local identity. However, cultural negotiation occurs, resulting in a synthesis between universal Islamic values and local wisdom. The impact of this movement is evident in increased awareness of worship, strengthening of community morals, and a gradual shift in religious practices towards a more orthodox understanding of Islam, although some members of the community still maintain elements of Wetu Telu tradition as part of their cultural identity.
The Importance of Digital Literacy in Facing the Impact of Information Technology on Student Character
The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has brought significant changes to the world of education and has influenced the character development of students. The use of digital technology provides opportunities to improve the quality of learning, but also raises various problems, such as declining ethics, low social empathy, plagiarism, and misuse of digital media. This shows that the ability to use technology technically is not necessarily accompanied by wise and characterful attitudes. Therefore, digital literacy is a crucial aspect in addressing the impact of technological developments on students' character. This study aims to examine the role of digital literacy in shaping and strengthening students' character in the digital era. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by examining relevant scientific articles, books, and policy documents published in the period 2015–2025. Data were obtained from Google Scholar, Scopus, and ResearchGate, then analyzed qualitatively through thematic selection and synthesis. The results of the study indicate that digital literacy encompasses cognitive, social, and ethical aspects that play an important role in the development of students' character, such as honesty, responsibility, independence, and digital ethics. Furthermore, information technology has both positive and negative impacts on student character, which is heavily influenced by digital literacy levels and the role of educators and educational institutions. This study recommends integrating digital literacy into the curriculum and strengthening the role of educators so that the use of technology in education focuses not only on technological mastery but also on character development in students.

Islamic Educational Values in the Implementation of the Ngarosul Tradition among the Community of Margabakti Village, Cibeureum District, Tasikmalaya
Etymologically the ngarosul ritual is a local tradition that centers on appointing an individual deemed religiously competent to lead prayers for a person who is approaching death. The core of this tradition lies in the community’s spiritual supplication: if the person being prayed for is still granted the opportunity to live, it is hoped that they will be swiftly restored to health; however, if their time has come, it is expected that their passing will occur peacefully and without obstacles. This study aims to provide an in-depth description of the Islamic educational values embedded within the practice of the ngarosul tradition in Cibeureum, Tasikmalaya. The researcher employed a qualitative approach through field research to examine this phenomenon empirically. Data were collected comprehensively through observation and in-depth interviews with informants, as well as direct engagement with the research setting and the ritual activities taking place. Based on the analysis, the study found that the ngarosul practice embodies strong religious and educational values that significantly influence the spiritual life of the local community. This tradition not only functions as a ritual expression but also serves as a medium for internalizing Islamic teachings, particularly those relating to tawakkul (trust in God), sincere effort, respect for the processes of life and death, and the reinforcement of social solidarity within the community

The background of this research is the importance of innovation in education in the digital age, where teachers are required to be highly creative in presenting lessons to enable more active and creative students. The primary focus of this research is to explore how the creativity of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers can be enhanced through the use of Information Technology (IT)-based media. The problem formulation in this study is Creativity Enhancement Strategy: Islamic Religious Education teachers utilize IT-based learning media such as PowerPoint (PPT) and smartphones to create varied teaching materials. This strategy involves the use of creative applications such as Canva to design materials and CapCut or TikTok to document and publish student assignments. Forms of Creativity: Teacher creativity is manifested in two main forms, namely Ideas (unique thinking for learning solutions) and Products/Services (such as making explanatory videos, digital calligraphy, and educational content on social media). Impact and Constraints: The use of IT has been proven to increase student motivation and activeness in learning Islamic Religious Education, although there are still technical constraints in the form of unstable internet connections. This study employed qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and students, and documentation. The study took place at SMP Negeri 1 Kolaka. The focus of the study included strategies for enhancing teacher creativity and the forms of creativity generated during the learning process. This study concludes that the creativity of Islamic Religious Education teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Kolaka is very important to motivate students to be more active and accelerate the achievement of learning objectives through the integration of relevant and innovative technology.
The Role of Teachers in Improving Early Childhood's Religious Values
This study aims to analyze the role of teachers in fostering religious values in early childhood within a formal educational setting. This study employed a qualitative approach with descriptive methods to gain a deep understanding of religious learning practices implemented by teachers. Data collection techniques included observation of learning activities, in-depth interviews with teachers, and documentation studies relevant to the early childhood religious education process. The data obtained were analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and systematic conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through diligent observation and triangulation of data collection techniques. The results indicate that teachers play a strategic role in strengthening religious values in early childhood, manifested through their understanding of basic religious concepts, the implementation of habitual worship practices, the use of varied and contextual learning strategies, and modeling religious attitudes and behaviors in daily life within the school environment. These findings confirm that optimizing the role of teachers significantly contributes to the internalization of religious values in early childhood and is a crucial factor in the formation of religious character from an early age.
Uniformed Protest, Unruly Dissent: Roses, Discord, and Tear Gas in Indonesia, Nepal, and Serbia
The phenomenon of secondary school students’ involvement in political protests in Indonesia, Nepal, and Serbia during August–September 2025 emerged almost simultaneously, yet exhibited divergent patterns of mobilization. At the same time, scholarship on social movements has remained dominated by studies of university students, while secondary students are often relegated to the margins, with virtually no cross-national comparative analyses available. This study aims to compare forms of solidarity, agency, and institutional support surrounding students in the three cases by integrating the perspectives of Political Opportunity Structure (POS) and structuralism. Methodologically, the research employs a comparative study based on scholarly literature, media reports, and relevant academic documents. The findings reveal that Nepal demonstrates generational solidarity that fosters transformative agency; Serbia illustrates institutional solidarity that generates moral agency; whereas Indonesia operates within a structural vacuum, producing only a fragile form of pseudo-agency. These variations are further shaped by historical trajectories, economic inequalities, educational institutions, political culture, and geographic conditions. The study underscores that student agency is relational, constituted through the interplay between external political opportunities and the availability of internal structural supports. Normatively, the findings suggest that when students receive institutional backing or inclusive spaces for participation, they can function as moral and political agents reinforcing state accountability. Conversely, state repression does not produce uniform outcomes: in Serbia, repression strengthened moral consolidation through symbolic peaceful acts; in Nepal, state pressure fueled coordinated radical escalation; while in Indonesia, repression accelerated fragmentation, rendering student protests fragile, anarchic, and vulnerable to manipulation.
The Use of Application Anyflipas Media Storytelling in Early Childhood
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the AnyFlip application as a digital storytelling medium in improving early childhood language skills. The research method uses a quantitative experimental approach with a Pre-experimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design involving early childhood children at TK Aisyah Bustanul Athfal through purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted in three sessions with a duration of 30 minutes per session in experimental and control classes. The experimental class applied the storytelling method using the AnyFlip application that facilitates interactive learning through visual and audio features, while the control class used conventional methods. The research instrument was a performance test to measure speaking ability and story retelling. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-test after meeting the normality and homogeneity prerequisite tests. The results showed a significant difference with the experimental class average of 80.70 and control class of 67.50. A significance value of less than 0.05 indicates that the AnyFlip application has a positive effect on improving early childhood language skills. The study concludes that integrating AnyFlip with storytelling methods is effective in developing children's expressive language skills in the digital era.
Songs That Merge With Prayer: The Theological Meaning of Qui Bene Cantat, Bis Orat in the Formation of Faith at the Solafide Sereh Christian Church
This study examines the theological meaning of the expression qui bene cantat, bis orat in worship singing practices and its contribution to the formation of the faith of the GKI Solafide Sereh congregation due to shifts in contemporary church music practices that have the potential to place singing more as an aesthetic expression than as a prayer that is experienced theologically. This study uses a qualitative approach with a contextual theology paradigm. Data was collected through participatory observation in worship services, in-depth interviews with liturgical ministers and congregants, and analysis of the lyrics of hymns used in worship services. The analysis was conducted using a theological-hermeneutical approach, viewing singing as a locus theologicus, or a space where faith is experienced and lived out. The results of the study indicate that hymns are understood by the congregation as a form of personal and communal prayer that brings about an experience of closeness to God, especially when supported by theological lyrics that are relevant to life experiences. Hymns function as an affective, relational, and transformative medium that shapes individual faith while strengthening communal faith identity. This study concludes that in the context of GKI Solafide Sereh, singing with sincerity not only deepens prayer, but also shapes a living and sustainable faith in the practice of church life.

Political Participation of Millennials and Gen Z: Transformation of Youth Voter Engagement Patterns in Indonesia's Electoral Democracy System
The transformation of Indonesia's political landscape is marked by the emergence of millennials (born 1981-1996) and Gen Z (born 1997-2012) as new political forces reshaping electoral participation dynamics. This study analyzes the political engagement patterns of young voters in Indonesia's democratic system using qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through surveys of 850 respondents aged 17-40 across five provinces, in-depth interviews with 45 key informants, and social media content analysis. Findings reveal that millennials and Gen Z exhibit distinct participation patterns from previous generations, characterized by digital platform utilization, issue-centric orientation, and skepticism toward traditional political institutions. Results show that 67.3% of young voters prioritize specific issues over party affiliation, 72.8% use social media as their primary source of political information, and 58.4% demonstrate preference for independent or non-partisan candidates. This study identifies three major transformation dimensions: digitalization of political activism, depersonalization of partisan loyalty, and democratization of political information access. The theoretical implications enrich discourse on political participation theory in digital society contexts, while practical implications provide guidance for political elites and democratic institutions in accommodating young voters' aspirations.

A Qualitative Study of Social Construction in Boboiboy and Its Implications for Elementary Education
Amidst the rapid currents of the postmodern era, children's media narratives no longer present a singular, black-and-white reality; rather, they are replete with fragmentation of meaning, moral ambiguity, and cultural hybridity. The animated series Boboiboy emerges as a popular culture artifact exercising strong dominance in constructing the imagination of children across the Nusantara region regarding the figure of the "hero." This study aims to deconstruct the concept of heroism depicted in Boboiboy and analyze its pedagogical implications for primary education. This research is a qualitative study grounded in the philosophy of science within the postpositivist paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth observation (thick description) of the audio-visual texts of the Boboiboy Galaxy series, and subsequently analyzed using hermeneutic approaches and critical discourse analysis. The research results reveal three fundamental findings Ontologically, Boboiboy deconstructs the singular subject into a fragmented subject (split subject) through the elemental split mechanism, reflecting a fluid and situational postmodern identity; Epistemologically, there is a shift in the validity of power from internal virtue (virtue ethics) toward technological determinism mediated by "power spheres."; Axiologically, the implications for primary education demand a transformation from a pedagogy of value transmission toward critical media literacy. Educators need to facilitate students in navigating the moral values behind technological simulacra, positioning popular culture as a space for critical dialectics within the classroom

Speech Act Strategies of Prospective Indonesian Language Teacher Students in Academic Presentations: a Pragmatic Perspective
Public speaking is a crucial skill for students, especially prospective teachers, who serve as primary communicators in the learning process. However, numerous studies have shown that prospective teachers still face a variety of challenges in public communication, particularly in digital-based academic presentations, including linguistic, psychological, technical, material mastery, body language, environmental, and visual aid use. Therefore, this study aims to describe students' speaking strategies in academic presentations from a pragmatic perspective. This study uses a qualitative approach with observation and interviews with students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Mataram. Data in the form of students' oral utterances during academic presentations were analyzed using speech act theory to identify the types and pragmatic functions of the speaking strategies used. The results of the study indicate that students utilize various speaking strategies through assertive, directive, expressive, and commissive speech acts. Assertive speech acts are used to convey academic material, directive speech acts function to direct the audience's attention, while expressive and commissive speech acts are used to maintain politeness, manage awkwardness, and respond to academic pressure during presentations. These findings indicate that students' speaking strategies serve as pragmatic mechanisms in managing obstacles to public communication, while also being an important provision in developing the professional competence of prospective teacher students in the digital era.
PERSUASIVE WRITING SKILLS OF INDONESIAN STUDENTS IN THE AI ERA: A LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF ARGUMENTATION
This study analyzes how Indonesian students construct persuasive arguments in the context of the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a writing partner. The study employed an explanatory sequential mixed methods design involving linguistic analysis of 200 persuasive texts and in-depth interviews with 20 students. Quantitative findings indicate a dominance of inductive reasoning, a weak connection between claims and evidence, and a low use of warrants and backing. Style patterns exhibit high repetition, minimal metaphors, and homogenous sentence structures consistent with AI output. Qualitative findings reveal a reliance on AI that produces surface coherence but does not strengthen argumentative logic. Synthesis of the findings resulted in the AI-Assisted Persuasive Reasoning Framework, which explains how AI enhances the mechanical aspects of writing but tends to weaken rhetorical originality and depth of reasoning. The results emphasize the need to develop persuasive writing pedagogy based on critical digital literacy so that students can utilize AI without losing their academic identity.

Teacher Strategies in Administering Remedial Exams to Improve Learning Achievement of Arithmetic Operations Material in Elementary Schools
This study aims to analyze teacher strategies in administering remedial exams to improve the learning achievement of arithmetic operations in elementary schools. The study used a qualitative case study design with a qualitative approach conducted at Muhammadiyah Condongcatur Elementary School, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region. The research subjects consisted of one fourth-grade teacher and two fourth-grade students who experienced difficulties in learning mathematics. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation, then analyzed interactively through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed that teacher strategies in administering remedial exams include four main aspects, namely planning, implementation, monitoring or supervision, and remedial strategies. In the planning aspect, teachers make special schedules, give preliminary assignments, adjust the form of questions, and communicate intensively with students and parents. In the implementation aspect, remedial exams are carried out in a controlled manner with an emphasis on honesty, independence, and teacher guidance. The monitoring aspect is carried out through gradual corrections and re-discussions to diagnose student misconceptions. Remedial strategies are applied flexibly, adaptively, and repeatedly until learning completeness is achieved according to the principles of mastery learning. The main obstacle identified was students' low mastery of the prerequisite material. This study concluded that pedagogically and diagnostically managed remedial exams can significantly improve learning outcomes, not just improve academic grades.
From Servant Leadership to Cadre Retention: Cadre Education as an Institutional Mechanism (Political HRM) in Political Parties
contributes to cadre retention by positioning cadre education programs as the primary institutional mechanism. The study examines whether cadre retention is influenced directly and indirectly by servant leadership, with cadre education and development programs conceptualized as Political Human Resource Management (Political HRM) and positioned as a key mediating variable. The study employs a quantitative approach using a structured questionnaire survey administered to members of a cadre-based political party organization. From a total population of 2,073 registered cadres recorded in the organizational database, all were internally ensured to receive the research questionnaire, and 551 respondents voluntarily completed it (voluntary random sample). The data were subsequently analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with a hierarchical component model (HCM) two-stage approach to model multidimensional constructs. The findings indicate that servant leadership does not have a significant direct effect on cadre retention; however, it exerts a very strong influence on the quality of cadre education and development programs, which in turn have a positive and significant effect on cadre retention. These results confirm an indirect-only mediation (full mediation) pattern. The model explains a substantial proportion of variance in cadre education programs (53.2%) and cadre retention (50.7%) and demonstrates strong predictive relevance, underscoring that retention in cadre-based organizations is predominantly system-driven.This study offers a conceptual and empirical model that extends the understanding of how leadership operates in value-based political organizations by positioning institutional mechanisms as the primary pathway through which leadership influences cadre sustainability. The study contributes to the leadership, organizational retention, and HRM systems literature by introducing Political HRM as an institutional architecture that translates leadership values into long-term cadre development systems.

An Integrative Theoretical Approach to Property Law and Social Literacy for the Protection of Community Property Rights
At present, legal protection of property has not been normatively integrated with public legal literacy, resulting in legal certainty over ownership rights that has not been effective in preventing disputes and violations of property rights at the social level. This study aims to propose the concept of an Integrative Theory of Property Law and Social Literacy for the Protection of Community Property Rights. The research employs a conceptual approach through literature review and normative legal analysis to synthesize agrarian law concepts, social literacy, and legal protection theory in order to formulate an integrative model of community property rights protection that is effective both juridically and socially. The findings indicate that the protection of property rights within the Indonesian property law system has not yet been fully effective, as it remains heavily reliant on a normative–formal approach that emphasizes administrative legality, while the dimensions of social literacy and the legal culture of society have not been systematically integrated. Through a conceptual reconstruction based on the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA), this study affirms that property rights are not merely a juridical status guaranteed by the state, but also a social relationship that requires public understanding, awareness, and active participation for legal protection to function in practice. Social literacy is shown to serve as a preventive protective instrument that strengthens certainty and justice of property rights prior to the emergence of disputes, while simultaneously acting as a bridge between legal norms and social practices. Therefore, an integrative theoretical model that combines agrarian law, socio-legal literacy, and legal culture offers a more substantive, collaborative, and sustainable framework for the protection of property rights, and provides a theoretical and normative foundation for policy development, legal education, and reform of the property rights protection system in Indonesia.
The Role of Ambidextrous Leadership and Self-Serving Bias in Enhancing Organizational Agility through Psychological Safety as a Mediating Variable in Non-Formal Education
Rapid environmental changes require organizations, including education and training institutions, to develop high adaptive capabilities, commonly referred to as organizational agility. This study aims to examine the role of ambidextrous leadership and self-serving bias in enhancing organizational agility through psychological safety as the mediating variable in non-formal education. A quantitative research design was employed using a survey method involving 108 employees of Build Better Communication, a non-formal education. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that ambidextrous leadership has a positive and significant effect on organizational agility (β = 0.394; p < 0.05) and psychological safety (β = 0.568; p < 0.05). Psychological safety also has a positive and significant effect on organizational agility (β = 0.335; p < 0.05). Self-serving bias has no significant direct effect on organizational agility (β = 0.028; p > 0.05), but it significantly influences psychological safety (β = 0.245; p < 0.05). Furthermore, psychological safety partially mediates the relationship between ambidextrous leadership and organizational agility (β = 0.190; p < 0.05) and fully mediates the relationship between self-serving bias and organizational agility (β = 0.082; p < 0.05). The R-square values of 0.412 for Psychological Safety and 0.433 for Organizational Agility indicate a moderate explanatory power of the model. These findings highlight the critical role of ambidextrous leadership and psychological safety in enhancing organizational agility and emphasize psychological safety as a key psychological mechanism linking leadership behavior and cognitive bias to organizational adaptability.

National Education Based on the Concept of the Pancasila Legal State as a Form of Character Formation for a Dignified National Civilization
National Education is an education based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which is rooted in religious values, Indonesian national culture and responsiveness to the demands of changing times. To realize this ideal, the struggle of the community, the government, and the implementation of Education is needed. National education functions to develop abilities and form the character and civilization of a dignified nation in order to educate the life of the nation. The application of education based on Pancasila values is very important to improve the quality of education in Indonesia and form a better student character. Therefore, the government, educators, and non-formal educational institutions need to continue to work together and be committed to developing and implementing Pancasila values in the Indonesian education system. The world of education is expected to be a driving force to facilitate character development, so that members of the community have an awareness of the harmonious and democratic life of the nation and state while still paying attention to the joints of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and social norms in society that have become a common agreement. The formulation of national education goals in Indonesia requires at least some foundations of national education.

Criminal and Civil Legal Protection for Female Students as Victims of Sexual Violence in Islamic Boarding Schools
Sexual violence against female students in Islamic boarding schools constitutes a serious violation of human rights and reveals structural deficiencies in legal protection within religious-based educational institutions. This study examines the scope and effectiveness of criminal and civil legal protection for female students as victims of sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. The research employs a normative juridical method, using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Primary legal materials include the Indonesian Criminal Code, Law No. 12 of 2022 on the Crime of Sexual Violence, Law No. 35 of 2014 on Child Protection, and regulations concerning witness and victim protection. The case approach focuses on the Decision of the Central Java High Court Number 238/PID.SUS/2025/PT SMG, which affirmed the conviction of a pondok pesantren caretaker for committing sexual violence against female students and imposed both imprisonment and restitution obligations. The case illustrates that criminal legal protection in Indonesia predominantly emphasizes punitive sanctions against perpetrators, reflecting a retributive justice orientation. However, the implementation of civil legal protection, particularly victims’ rights to restitution, compensation, and long-term psychological recovery, remains limited and inconsistently enforced. The study finds that unequal power relations, institutional protection of perpetrators, and social stigma continue to hinder victims’ access to comprehensive justice. This research concludes that effective legal protection requires an integrated framework combining criminal accountability, civil liability of perpetrators and educational institutions, and a victim-centered recovery approach, supported by strengthened state supervision over Islamic boarding schools to ensure substantive justice for female students.
The Influence of Principal Supervision and Motivation on Teacher Performance at MTS Muhammadiyah Garut
The success of education as a system in schools is determined by many factors, and one of them is teacher performance. It plays a strategic role in the overall education and learning process at school. Teacher performance is understood as the work performance and appearance of teachers in carrying out their profession professionally and effectively to produce quality graduates. Many factors can influence teacher performance in schools, two of which are educational supervision and strong motivation. The aim of this research is to describe the influence of principal supervision and motivation on teacher performance at MTS Muhammadiyah Garut. The research method used in this study is the survey method with correlational analysis. This means that data is collected with the help of questionnaires. In this study, the instrument used to gather data on the three variables being researched was a questionnaire. Based on the data analysis results, it is concluded that: 1) The results of the hypothesis test show that there is a significant positive relationship between the independent variables of school principal supervision (X1) and motivation (X2) and the dependent variable of teacher performance (Y) with a correlation coefficient of 0.874. The multiple regression relationship is linear with the equation model Y = -44.596 + 1.021 X1 + 0.606 X2; 2) The independent variables of school principal supervision (X1) and motivation (X2), both individually and together, make a significant contribution to the dependent variable of teacher performance (Y). The contribution of each independent variable to the dependent variable is as follows: school principal supervision variable is 67.8% and motivation variable is 48.8%. The contribution of both independent variables together to the dependent variable is 76.4%. Knowing that the contribution of school principal supervision (X1) and motivation (X2), 76.4%, to the performance of the teacher (Y), it can be concluded that 23.6% of the performance of the teacher is due to other factors

Digital Diplomacy and Nation Branding of Indonesian Ecotourism: An Analysis of the Role of Environmental Education in the YOLO Program on the CubMu Platform as an Instrument of Public Diplomacy
This study analyzes the potential of Indonesia’s ecotourism as a soft power instrument in digital public diplomacy through the CubMu platform and the YOLO (You Only Live Once) program. The main objective of this research is to examine how environmental narratives are constructed and disseminated through digital storytelling as part of Indonesia’s efforts to build a sustainable global image. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review and digital discourse analysis, this study finds that CubMu’s communication practices contribute to framing ecotourism as a reflection of Indonesia’s commitment to global environmental issues, although its dissemination remains predominantly regional. The YOLO program demonstrates potential in reaching the global youth audience through emotionally engaging and visually appealing narratives; however, its effectiveness is limited by risks of over-commercialization and digital infrastructure gaps in rural areas. The study concludes that integrating ecotourism and digital diplomacy can strengthen Indonesia’s position as a proactive actor in environmental diplomacy while opening new avenues for sustainability-oriented soft power.
Optimizing Writing Skills through the Integration of PjBL and Learning Media
Writing is a crucial skill in Indonesian language learning, requiring the integration of cognitive, linguistic, and psychomotor aspects. However, the reality on the ground shows that students' mastery of writing skills is still suboptimal due to internal and external factors. This article discusses optimizing writing skills through the integration of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model and visual learning media. PjBL provides an authentic framework that motivates students through the completion of real projects and systematic stages, from determining fundamental questions to reflection. The integration of visual media serves as a visual stimulus that simplifies abstract information, stimulates critical thinking, and helps students organize ideas systematically into written text. The teacher's role transforms into a facilitator, mentor, and motivator who accompanies each phase of the project to ensure the achievement of learning objectives. Through this synergy, writing learning becomes more concrete, interactive, and meaningful for students.

The implementation of these strategies contributes to the development of discipline, responsibility, cooperation, leadership, and a sense of patriotism among students. Consequently, the Hizbul Wathan scouting program serves as a strategic medium for strengthening national character education in elementary schools.
The Relationship between Principals' Managerial Behavior and Teachers' Job Stress: A Systematic Review of the Literature
The Relationship Between Principals' Managerial Behavior and Teachers' Work Stress: Systematic Review Literature. Stres kerja guru merupakan isu kritis dalam dunia pendidikan yang berdampak pada kualitas pembelajaran dan kesejahteraan psikologis. Di tengah tuntutan profesional yang terus meningkat, peran kepala sekolah sebagai pemimpin manajerial menjadi penentu utama dalam menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang mendukung atau justru memperparah tekanan kerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana perilaku manajerial kepala sekolah berdampak pada stres kerja guru. Metode yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR) sesuai panduan PRISMA 2020, dengan menganalisis 11 studi empiris dari konteks sekolah di Indonesia yang terbit antara 2021–2025. Data dikumpulkan melalui identifikasi sistematis di berbagai basis jurnal dan disintesis secara tematik. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa perilaku manajerial kepala sekolah memiliki peran ganda: sebagai pemicu stres (jika otoriter, tidak transparan, atau tidak responsif) dan sebagai peredam stres (jika humanis, adaptif, dan suportif). Dua jalur utama teridentifikasi, interaksi emosional (dukungan psikologis, komunikasi terbuka) dan struktural organisasi (pengaturan beban kerja, fasilitas, sistem penghargaan) yang secara bersamaan menurunkan stres dan meningkatkan komitmen serta kinerja guru. Hal ini menegaskan bahwa kepemimpinan sekolah yang berbasis kesejahteraan bukan hanya ideal, tetapi menjadi kebutuhan dalam menciptakan lingkungan pendidikan yang sehat dan berkelanjutan.

This study contributes to the digital school management model in faith-based educational institutions.
Teacher Creativity in Utilizing Learning Media for Fiqh Subjects at MI Al Mawaddah Warrahmah Kolaka
This study aims to analyze teacher creativity in utilizing learning media in Fiqh subjects at MI Al Mawaddah Warrahmah Kolaka and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. This study is motivated by the importance of teacher creativity in using learning media to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, especially in Fiqh learning, which is often considered monotonous and less interesting for students. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, Fiqh teachers, and students as research subjects. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study indicate that teacher creativity in utilizing learning media has begun to be applied through the use of laptops, the internet, and presentation media in delivering Fiqh materials. However, the implementation is not optimal because there are still obstacles such as limited technological skills, a lack of variety in media use, and facilities and infrastructure that are not fully supportive. Supporting factors include the availability of technological facilities and school support, while inhibiting factors include limited teacher competence in using technology and a lack of learning innovation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve teacher competency and optimize the use of educational technology to improve the quality and meaningfulness of Fiqh learning.
Legal Protection of Citizens' Education Regarding Freedom of the Press as an Implementation of the Indonesian Legal State
The press, as an information medium, is a tool for conveying or obtaining various important information, such as political, entertainment, social, and other issues. Through the press, people can learn or obtain useful information. Meanwhile, the press, as an educational medium, means that the information or news disseminated through the media also serves to educate, contain truth, educate, and encourage good deeds. Freedom of the press constitutes one of the fundamental pillars of democracy and the rule of law. In Indonesia, press freedom is constitutionally guaranteed under Articles 28E and 28F of the 1945 Constitution and further regulated by Law Number 40 of 1999 concerning the Press. This article aims to analyze the legal protection of press freedom in Indonesia and the challenges faced in its implementation. This study employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. The findings indicate that although press freedom is normatively well protected, practical challenges remain, including the criminalization of journalists, the use of ambiguous provisions under the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (EIT Law), and political as well as economic pressures on media institutions. Therefore, strengthening regulatory frameworks, ensuring consistent law enforcement, and enhancing media independence are essential to guarantee responsible press freedom within the framework of a rule-of-law state.

Educational Ministry Field: Where and To Whom Is Education Directed
The message of Christian education represents a theological and educational mandate rooted in the Great Commission and the concept of missio Dei, which positions the entire world and all humanity as the field of God-centered education. However, previous studies have tended to separate the geographical and relational dimensions of educational engagement, resulting in the absence of an integrative educational and theological framework, particularly within the context of Indonesia’s pluralistic society. This study aims to construct an integrative theological framework regarding the field of ministry of the message of Christ based on spatial (where) and relational (to whom) dimensions. The method used is a literature review with a content analysis approach and theological-conceptual synthesis of biblical sources and contemporary theological and missiological literature. The results of the study show that the field of gospel ministry covers the whole world, local communities, and daily life, while the goal of the ministry includes all human beings, especially marginalized communities and pluralistic societies. Evangelism is realized holistically through living witness, acts of love, and verbal preaching. In conclusion, the field of evangelical ministry is universal, relational, and existential, and affirms that every believer actively participates in the missio Dei through a transformative contextual life in a pluralistic society.

This study aims to analyze the Human Resources (HR) management strategy in optimizing teacher professionalism at Muhammadiyah Condongcatur Elementary School. Teacher professionalism is a key pillar in ensuring the quality of education at the elementary school level, but the challenges of curriculum dynamics and workload require a comprehensive managerial strategy. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Principal, Vice Principal, and Teachers, as well as observations, and supported by documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted with the help of the Atlas.ti 9 software to map the relationships between managerial variables. The results show that the HR management strategy is carried out through an integrated cycle, including: 1) Linearity-based planning and real needs analysis; 2) Competency development through applied training and inter-disciplinary collaboration; 3) Reflection-based performance evaluation for policy making; and 4) Internalization of Islamic organizational culture as a reinforcement of moral integrity. Although the reward system has been implemented, the aspect of transparency remains a note for future development. In conclusion, the synergy between administrative support, sustainable capacity development, and spiritual values is key to creating a solid ecosystem of teacher professionalism in elementary schools.

Nggusu Waru Local Wisdom as an Ethical Framework for Gender-Inclusive and Child-Friendly Social Transformation in the Context of Social Development in Bima Society
Gender inequality and the vulnerability of women and children remain structural and cultural problems in many regions of Indonesia, including Bima. Various government policies have not yet been fully effective, as their implementation does not always align with the local values embedded in society. Nggusu Waru, a form of local wisdom from Bima that embodies eight moral principles related to knowledge, integrity, social responsibility, and the protection of vulnerable groups, actually holds significant potential as an ethical framework for promoting more gender-just social development. However, these values have experienced a decline in meaning due to modernization and the lack of cultural regeneration. This conceptual article proposes the integration of Nggusu Waru into social development through processes of value re-articulation, participatory approaches, and mainstreaming into village-level policies. Theoretical analysis indicates that gender inequality can only be addressed effectively when structural change is accompanied by transformation in social norms. By integrating gender theory, social norms theory, cultural capital, and Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, this article formulates a conceptual model that positions Nggusu Waru as a value-based foundation for strengthening the protection of women and children, enhancing women’s participation in the public sphere, and fostering a new, more egalitarian social culture. This integration is not merely an effort at cultural preservation, but a pragmatic, contextual, and sustainable strategy of social transformation aimed at creating a women-friendly and child-caring environment within Bima society.
The Relationship Between Free Nutritious Food Consumption (MBG) and Students' Focus on Learning in the Last Hour at SMAN 4 Bima City
Decreased student focus during the final period of class is a pedagogical challenge influenced by various factors, such as physical fatigue and mental saturation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the consumption of Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) and student focus at SMAN 4 Kota Bima, and to identify factors that influence the effectiveness of this nutritional support. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with educators and field observations. The results showed that the MBG program made a positive contribution to maintaining energy stability and cognitive responsiveness of students compared to students who did not consume it. Students who received MBG appeared calmer, more ready to learn, and able to maintain concentration longer during critical school hours. However, the effectiveness of MBG is not fully optimal because it is influenced by multidimensional variables such as nutritional menu variations, students' rest patterns at home, and the teaching methods used by teachers. The study concluded that although MBG provides a strong physical foundation, significantly improving learning focus requires a synergy between varied nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, and interactive pedagogical innovations in the classroom.

The Importance of Morning Exercise Habits for Early Childhood Concentration Agustin Hamida
This study aims to explore early childhood teachers’ understanding of the importance of physical activity in supporting young children’s concentration and learning readiness. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research was conducted from July to September in five kindergartens in Bekasi City, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured interviews with ten kindergarten teachers and direct classroom observations of physical activity practices. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of meaning related to teachers’ understanding, perceptions, and instructional practices. The findings reveal that teachers generally perceive physical activity primarily as a means to support children’s physical health, while its pedagogical role in enhancing concentration and self-regulation is not yet fully understood. Although teachers observed that children tended to be calmer and more focused after engaging in physical activity, such perceptions were not consistently translated into planned and integrated classroom practices. The study also identified a gap between teachers’ conceptual understanding and the actual implementation of regular physical activity, influenced by academic pressures, limited time, and the absence of clear institutional policies. These findings are consistent with previous international studies while highlighting contextual challenges within Indonesian early childhood education. Furthermore, the results demonstrate strong relevance to current national education policies in 2025, particularly the 7 Habits of Great Indonesian Children program, which emphasizes healthy and active lifestyles as a foundation for character development and learning readiness. The study concludes that strengthening teachers’ pedagogical understanding and institutional support is essential for integrating meaningful physical activity into early childhood education practices.
Application of the Jigsaw Type Cooperative Learning Model with the Guided Discovery Method Used by Prompt Tools on the Surface Area of Curved Sided Template
Curved-sided geometric shapes have a high level of abstraction, often leading to misconceptions and difficulties in visualizing threedimensional shapes. The Jigsaw cooperative model can enhance interaction and conceptual elaboration through the division of learning roles among students, while the guided discovery method helps students understand concepts and the origins of formulas more deeply. The use of teaching aids also provides concrete experiences that can strengthen visualization and reduce misunderstandings. The synergy of these three approaches has the potential to create more effective, active, and meaningful learning, while meeting the demands of current learning and curriculum that emphasize collaboration, exploration, and conceptual understanding. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach because the purpose of the study was to describe the application of the jigsaw cooperative learning model with the guided discovery method assisted by teaching aids on the surface area of curved-sided geometric shapes. The research subjects were grade IX students. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation. Based on the results of observations of student attitude assessments, the percentage of cooperative attitudes was obtained at85,29%, a responsible attitude of83,82%, a self-confident attitude of75%, and a meticulous attitude of75%. . Based on student learning outcomes, the average student score is69,41, and 71% of students met the Minimum Competency Criteria (KKM). These findings confirm that this learning strategy is effective in creating an active and meaningful learning environment
Manajemen Kesiswaan Dalam Mengembangkan Potensi Siswa Di SD Muhammadiyah
The development of students’ potential is not limited to academic aspects but also includes non-academic aspects that require systematic and sustainable student management. SD Muhammadiyah, as an educational institution that emphasizes holistic education, needs to implement effective student management to optimize students’ talents and interests. This study aims to analyse the implementation of student management in developing students’ potential at SD Muhammadiyah, covering the stages of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, vice principal for student affairs, classroom teachers, and extracurricular instructors. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that student management is implemented in an integrated manner through four main functions. The planning stage is based on the school’s vision and mission, supported by budgeting through the School Revenue and Expenditure Budget (RAPBS) and the implementation of initial diagnostic assessments. The organizing stage includes grouping students into categories of academically gifted, talent-gifted, and interest-based students, as well as providing adequate facilities and infrastructure. In the actuating stage, students’ potential is developed through differentiated instruction, scheduled and intensive coaching, the formation of competition teams, and active collaboration with parents. The controlling stage is carried out through regular evaluation meetings, monitoring of students’ achievements, and follow-up actions to improve programs. Overall, the implementation of systematic and sustainable student management has proven effective in supporting the optimal development of students’ potential.
Evaluation of the International Community Service Program: The Influence of FOMO, Perception of Program Benefits on Student Motivation with the Moderating Variable of Financial Literacy
This study aims to analyze the influence of FOMO and program benefits on students' motivation to participate in International Community Service Programs with financial literacy as a moderating variable. The research uses a quantitative approach with Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The research results show that financial literacy is the main factor influencing students' motivation to participate in the International Community Service Program. The FOMO variable does not have a significant effect on motivation, although financial literacy can change its influence in a positive direction. Initially, the program benefits had an impact on motivation, but it became insignificant when financial literacy was included in the model. The results of the moderation analysis show that financial literacy does not act as a moderating variable, but rather as a variable that directly influences students' motivation. These findings indicate that students' decisions to participate in the International Community Service Program are more influenced by considerations of their financial capabilities. Therefore, universities need to provide financial support such as scholarships, cost subsidies, and collaboration with foreign partners to increase student participation.
