Utilization of Instagram Social Media in Marketing Assisted MSME Products in Ciater Village, South Tangerang
In running their business, the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) group under the supervision of the Ciater sub-district, in South Tangerang still uses traditional methods, and does not yet know and utilize social media, such as Instagram. Even though Instagram can promote businesses with the potential to reach a wider and more interesting audience because users can share photos, videos and integrate them with social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Through socialization and outreach activities on the importance of using Instagram to MSME business actors in Ciater Village, South Tangerang City, which is carried out in Community Service activities, Pamulang University, it is hoped that there will be a transfer of knowledge and strategies for using social media to market MSME products. The activity method in the form of training is carried out interactively, starting with a presentation of material related to the benefits of Instagram in marketing MSME products, followed by questions and answers and ending with direct practice by participants, such as techniques for operating Instagram via participants' cellphones. The results of this counseling can directly motivate them to immediately create an Instagram account and they can start by making a product marketing plan via Instagram.
The Importance of Morning Exercise Habits for Early Childhood Concentration
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 Motif Creation with Techniques Pounding Ecoprint Using Sidamanik Tea Leaves as a Natural Dye
This research aims to identify and analyze the effectiveness of motif creation using the pounding ecoprint technique with Sidamanik tea leaves as a natural dye, and to determine the factors influencing the final ecoprint results.

For motif sharpness, ecoprint on canvas fabric with a mixture of tunjung, soda ash, and alum mordants achieved the highest score (90%), while rayon fabric with tunjung, soda ash, and alum mordants showed the lowest score (61%). Regarding color fastness, the most significant color change occurred in samples with tunjung pre-mordant and alum post-mordant. Canvas fabric with tunjung mordant demonstrated the best color fastness (72%), whereas rayon fabric with tunjung mordant had the lowest color fastness (42%). Overall, this study suggests the potential of Sidamanik tea leaves as a natural dye in ecoprint, with the appropriate selection of fabric type and mordant being crucial for optimal results.
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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.
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.

Learning and Capacity Building for Persons with Disabilities through a Strengths-Based Perspective: Assessment of the ROPES Framework in the 'Tumbuh Mandiri' Farmers Group
Persons with disabilities continue to face various challenges, including dependence on external assistance, limited access to economic resources, non-inclusive policies, and programs that have not fully supported sustainable independence. This study offers an alternative perspective by applying a strengths-based approach, which views persons with disabilities as individuals with potentials, capacities, and resources that can be developed. The analysis employs the ROPES framework (Resources, Options, Possibilities, Exceptions, and Solutions) proposed by Clay Graybeal to identify individual and collective strengths. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this study explores the lived experiences and capacities of persons with disabilities within their social context. The research was conducted among members of the “Tumbuh Mandiri” Disability Farmers Group in Cimahi City, Indonesia. Informants consisted of one group leader and two administrators selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that strengths-based and experiential learning processes within the group play a significant role in fostering members’ social and economic independence. These results suggest that a strengths-based approach provides an important foundation for designing inclusive, sustainable, and capacity-oriented disability empowerment programs.

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
