Triana Hermawati — 2026-08-08

Islamic Boarding School Education Curriculum Model for Post-Rehabilitation Students with Psychosocial Mental Disabilities (PDMP) at Ainul Yakin Islamic Boarding School, Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta: Master’s Program in Islamic Education, Universitas Alma Ata Yogyakarta, 2026.

This study was motivated by the absence of an Islamic boarding school curriculum model specifically designed to accommodate the spiritual, psychological, social, and independence needs of post-rehabilitation students with psychosocial mental disabilities (PDMP). This study aimed to develop and examine the effectiveness of the Self Spiritual Akliah (SSA)-based Islamic Boarding School Education Curriculum Model at Ainul Yakin Islamic Boarding School, Yogyakarta.

This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method based on the Borg and Gall model. The research stages included preliminary studies, needs analysis, product development and validation, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), product revision, field testing, and the development of a validated curriculum model. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, literature studies, expert validation, FGD, and pretest and posttest administered to 30 students with PDMP. The data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using N-Gain analysis.

The study produced an SSA Curriculum Model consisting of three dimensions: Self, Spiritual, and Akliah. The Self dimension focuses on independence and self-management; the Spiritual dimension strengthens faith, worship, morality, patience, gratitude, sincerity, and reliance on God; while the Akliah dimension develops thinking abilities, social skills, and adaptability. The model includes educational objectives, learning outcomes, learning materials, instructional strategies, activity programs, mentoring systems, and evaluation instruments. Expert validation and FGD results indicated that the model was feasible, relevant, and applicable.

The effectiveness test showed an increase in the average score from 58.43 in the pretest to 83.10 in the posttest, representing an improvement of 24.67 points. The average N-Gain score was 0.60 or 60.45%, which was classified as moderate or moderately effective. A total of 10 students, or 33.33%, achieved a high improvement category, while 20 students, or 66.67%, achieved a moderate category, with no students in the low category. Therefore, the SSA Curriculum Model was moderately effective in improving the spirituality, independence, social skills, and adaptive readiness of students with PDMP in family and community life.

Friendship Quality and Happiness Among Adolescents Living Away from Home: Insights into Social and Academic Adjustment

Bella Arini Haq — 2026-08-13

Happiness can provide motivation, enthusiasm, and encouragement for teenagers in carrying out various activities both at school and outside of school. One way to get happiness for teenagers is through support and assistance from their family environment including parents, siblings and other extended family. On the other hand, there are some teenagers who live far apart from their parents and family as experienced by teenagers who migrate. Teenagers who feel happy will spend their time socializing and are happy to have more casual friends or close friends. Friendly friendships will help the social and emotional development of adolescents. This study uses correlational quantitative research, to determine the relationship between friendship quality and happiness in overseas adolescents. The results of the simple regression analysis showed a correlation coefficient (rxy) = .582 at p = 0.000 (p <0.05). A significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05) indicates that there is a positive significant relationship between the quality of friendship and the happiness of overseas adolescents.

Gender Equality in Arabic Language Education in the Digital Era: A Critical Analytical Study of the Al-Lughah al-'Arabiyyah al-Muyassarah Textbook at Islamic University of Pemalang

Aziz Muzayin — 2026-08-15

Gender representation in educational materials has become a significant issue because it shapes learners’ perceptions of social roles and identities. Previous studies on Arabic language textbooks have largely reported gender bias, male dominance, and stereotypical portrayals of women. However, few studies have examined textbooks that promote balanced gender representation, particularly those developed within Islamic higher education institutions. This study analyzes gender equality in Al-Lughah al-'Arabiyyah al-Muyassarah, an Arabic language textbook developed by the Language Development Center of Islamic University of Pemalang. Using a qualitative approach, the research employs content analysis and Sara Mills’ feminist discourse analysis to examine five dimensions of gender representation: subject position, object position, professional role representation, activity representation, and visual representation. The findings indicate that male and female characters are represented in relatively balanced ways throughout the textbook. Female characters frequently occupy subject positions, actively participate in academic and social interactions, and appear in diverse professional roles. The textbook also presents masculine and feminine occupational forms in parallel structures while depicting women in educational, recreational, and professional activities. Visual representations further reinforce these inclusive patterns. From Sara Mills’ perspective, the textbook constructs gender equality by positioning women as active learners, professionals, and social actors rather than passive objects. The study concludes that Al-Lughah al-'Arabiyyah al-Muyassarah demonstrates the characteristics of a gender-responsive Arabic language textbook and offers a valuable model for developing inclusive Arabic language teaching materials in the digital era.
Keywords: gender equality, Arabic language education, Sara Mills, feminist discourse analysis, digital era.

Parental Attention and Self Control among Student Athletes and Non Athletes: A Metacognitive Perspective

Purnama Yusti Herasakti Hera — 2026-08-17

The ability of self-control is a crucial psychological foundation for elementary school children to face academic and social challenges. This qualitative study using a comparative case study design aims to explore how parental attention affects the formation of self-control in two groups of students with different background activities: student athletes and non-athletes at SDN Sumbersari I Beji. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 informants (parents, students, classroom teachers, and physical education teachers), behavioral observation at school, and disciplinary records analysis. The results showed differences in variable interaction mechanisms. In the group of student athletes, structured physical training and a strict competitive climate act as external reinforcement that accelerates the internalization of self-control, so that parental attention is more oriented toward maintaining emotional stability to prevent burnout. Conversely, in the non-athlete group with a more flexible daily pattern, parental attention—especially through two-way communication and active monitoring—plays an absolute role as the primary regulator in restraining digital distractions. These findings emphasize that the effectiveness of parental attention in shaping children's character highly depends on the structure of daily activities followed by children outside the home.

The Fourfold Cosmological Structure of Dayak Culture: A Structural Anthropological Analysis

Imam Qalyubi — 2026-08-17

The cosmological worldview of the Dayak communities has long been reflected in various cultural practices, yet studies examining the underlying symbolic structure that integrates these practices remain limited. This study aims to analyze the fourfold cosmological structure (serba empat) as the deep symbolic system underlying the culture of the Dayak communities along the Barito River, Central Kalimantan. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study utilizes field observations, in-depth interviews, documentation, and textual analysis of customary traditions. Data were analyzed using Claude Lévi-Strauss's structural anthropology through the processes of data reduction, categorization, structural interpretation, and verification. The findings reveal that the serba empat cosmology constitutes the underlying cultural structure that organizes ritual practices, traditional architecture, settlement patterns, agricultural activities, healing traditions, oral narratives, and customary institutions. Rather than functioning merely as a numerical concept or ritual convention, the fourfold principle serves as a symbolic framework that integrates relationships among humans, nature, ancestors, and the supernatural. The study further demonstrates that the continuity of Dayak culture is maintained through the persistence of this deep symbolic structure despite religious and social transformations. Theoretically, the findings extend Lévi-Strauss's structural anthropology beyond myth analysis by demonstrating that indigenous cosmology functions as an organizing framework connecting symbolic systems, indigenous knowledge, and cultural practices. This study contributes to the broader understanding of indigenous cosmology and provides a structural perspective for future comparative research on the cultural systems of indigenous societies in Southeast Asia.

Learning the History of Islamic Culture as a Medium for Cultivating Character Education at IRA Medan Middle School

Bunga Sari Siagian — 2026-08-17

The crisis of moral degradation among adolescents is a key phenomenon underpinning the importance of strengthening student character. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Cultural History learning, identify character values, describe obstacles, and formulate recommendations at IRA Medan Junior High School. The method used was descriptive qualitative through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of teachers and students. The findings indicate that Islamic Cultural History learning plays a significant role in instilling the values of discipline, honesty, responsibility, and patience through exemplary figures and storytelling methods. This study's contribution demonstrates positive behavioral changes in students at school and at home. However, limitations in internalizing values lie in differences in student readiness, limited time allocation, and a less than conducive external social environment. Consequently, individual coaching by teachers has not been optimal. Recommendations call for strong synergy between schools, families, and the community, along with the development of innovative, more contextual learning methods.

Comparison of Hadith Thoughts of Sheikh Nuruddin Marbu Al-Makki and Ustadz Yazid bin Abdul Qadir Jawas

Irfan Padlian Syah — 2026-08-18

This study aims to analyze and compare the hadith thought of Syekh Nuruddin Marbu Al-Makki Al-Banjari and Ustadz Yazid bin Abdul Qadir Jawas from methodological, epistemological, and practical perspectives. Both scholars represent contemporary Indonesian hadith scholars with different intellectual backgrounds and scientific orientations, yet both are highly influential in Indonesian hadith discourse. Sheikh Nuruddin Marbu represents the Haramain scholarly tradition rooted in the classical Nusantara scholarly chain of transmission (sanad), while Ustadz Yazid Jawas represents the Salafi orientation based on the methodology of contemporary Saudi Arabian scholars. This study employs a comparative-descriptive method, with critical discourse analysis applied to the primary works of both scholars. The results show fundamental differences in: (1) the epistemology of hadith acceptance, where Sheikh Nuruddin emphasizes sanad transmission and scholarly ijazah, while Ustadz Yazid focuses on matn authenticity based on Wahabi-Salafi jarh wa ta'dil criteria; (2) hadith criticism methodology, where Sheikh Nuruddin adopts an eclectic approach integrating classical and contemporary scholarly perspectives, while Ustadz Yazid tends to selectively follow scholars aligned with the Salafi orientation; (3) the application of hadith in Indonesian socio-religious contexts, where Sheikh Nuruddin is more accommodative toward local traditions, while Ustadz Yazid is more textualist-purificatory. This research contributes by filling the gap in comparative hadith research between traditionalist and Salafi Indonesian scholars, a topic that has not been previously studied with these specific figures.

Formulation of Pedagogical Strategy of Pai Teachers in Internalizing Empathy and Social Sensitivity of Students at Muhammadiyah 2 Junior High School Medan

Yusnifa Aini — 2026-08-18

This study aims to analyze and formulate the pedagogical strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in internalizing the values of empathy and social sensitivity among students at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Medan. Amid the challenges of the digital era and the increasing individualistic behavior among adolescents, the role of PAI teachers becomes essential in shaping students' social character based on Islamic values. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with PAI teachers, homeroom teachers, principals, and students, as well as documentation studies. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the pedagogical strategies implemented by PAI teachers include: (1) habituation strategies through social and religious activities at school, (2) exemplary strategies (uswah hasanah) through teachers' daily behavior, and (3) dialogic-reflective strategies in the learning process by relating Islamic education materials to students' social realities. Supporting factors of these strategies include a school environment based on Al-Islam and Muhammadiyah values, while the inhibiting factors stem from the influence of social media and the low level of students' social interaction. The implications of this study indicate that consistently implemented pedagogical strategies are capable of enhancing students' empathy and social sensitivity within the school environment.

Subject matter expert evaluations also rated it as highly valid, with a total average score of 87.50%. Based on the assessment criteria, these results indicate that the medium and content of the self-concept Rubik's cube are highly valid and suitable for use in orientation services to assist students with self-discovery. Questionnaire results from teachers yielded a total average score of 92.50%, while results from students yielded an average score of 87.18%. Based on the assessment criteria derived from teacher and student responses, the self-concept Rubik's cube is considered highly practical for use in orientation services. In conclusion, the self-concept Rubik's cube medium for orientation services in Grade X at the private high school in Bandung is valid and practical for assisting students with self-discovery.

Nurmala Br Saragih — 2026-08-18

This study aims to determine the use of digital media in fostering students' moral character at SMA Negeri 11 Medan and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that digital media is utilized in Islamic Religious Education through educational videos, online learning platforms, social media, and religious content that support students' moral development. The use of digital media can improve students' discipline, responsibility, and ethical behavior when applied properly and in a well-directed manner. The supporting factors include the availability of technological facilities, school support, and the active role of teachers in character building. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors include lack of supervision and improper use of digital media by students. With proper guidance, digital media can be an effective tool in shaping better student character in the digital era.

The tradition promotes essential character values, including cooperation, responsibility, discipline, respect, social awareness, and religious commitment. The implementation of these values has positively influenced students' attitudes and behaviors, as reflected in their increased participation in collaborative activities, improved discipline, and stronger sense of responsibility toward the school community. The study concludes that integrating local cultural traditions into educational practices provides an effective approach to character education by reinforcing moral values while preserving local cultural heritage.

Exploration of Professional and Pedagogical Competencies of PJOK Teachers Towards the Quality of Physical Education Learning in Elementary Schools

Muchammad Hidayaturrochman — 2026-08-19

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the professional and teaching competencies of Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) teachers and their relationship with the quality of physical education learning in Elementary Schools within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. A qualitative approach with an interactive case study design was applied in three Elementary Schools in Beji District, Pasuruan Regency. The research subjects consisted of three PJOK teachers selected through purposive sampling (SDN Sumber Sari 1, SDI Azzahra, and SDN Beji 1). Data were collected through classroom and field observations, in-depth structured interviews, and review of portfolio documents. Data analysis techniques utilized the interactive model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, consisting of three main stages: data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the professional competence of PJOK teachers was classified as good, as reflected in their mastery of subject matter substance, variety of teaching methods, and high creativity in modifying limited facilities and infrastructure. Their pedagogical competence was also very strong, evidenced by a deep understanding of students' motor characteristics, systematic differentiated learning planning, and the implementation of process-based authentic evaluation. The main supporting factors included visionary support from the school principal and active involvement in the Physical Education Teacher Working Group (KKGO) forum. Meanwhile, the main inhibiting factors included limited physical sports facilities in peripheral areas and a high teaching workload (managing classes 1 to 6 independently). Overall, the linear integration between professional and pedagogical competence significantly improves the quality of PJOK learning, characterized by high active student participation (85–95%), effective allocation of movement time (70–80%), and the creation of an inclusive, safe, and enjoyable learning atmosphere.

The Role of Parental Support and Teaching Styles in Predicting Student Engagement: Rethinking the Related to of Religious Character in Islamic Education

Ricky Zahir — 2026-08-21

Meskipun lebih dari 80% siswa Indonesia dikategorikan memiliki tingkat religiusitas yang tinggi, partisipasi aktif mereka dalam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak masih relatif rendah, menunjukkan adanya kesenjangan antara pemahaman agama dan keterlibatan dalam pembelajaran. Studi ini bertujuan untuk meneliti hubungan antara gaya mengajar guru dan dukungan orang tua terhadap keterlibatan siswa dalam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak, dengan karakter religius sebagai variabel moderasi. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif eksploratif dengan menggunakan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Partisipan terdiri dari 63 siswa dari dua sekolah Islam di Yogyakarta yang dipilih melalui pengambilan sampel acak. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner skala Likert lima poin yang diadaptasi dari instrumen yang telah divalidasi dalam penelitian sebelumnya. Analisis data meliputi evaluasi model luar untuk menilai validitas dan reliabilitas serta evaluasi model dalam menggunakan prosedur bootstrapping untuk menguji hipotesis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dukungan orang tua memiliki pengaruh positif yang signifikan terhadap keterlibatan siswa (t = 2,932; p = 0,004), sedangkan karakter religius juga memiliki pengaruh positif yang signifikan terhadap keterlibatan siswa (t = 3,509; p < 0,001). Namun, gaya mengajar guru dan dukungan orang tua tidak menunjukkan pengaruh langsung yang signifikan terhadap keterlibatan siswa. Lebih lanjut, karakter religius tidak secara signifikan memoderasi hubungan antara gaya mengajar guru dan keterlibatan siswa maupun hubungan antara dukungan orang tua dan keterlibatan siswa. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penguatan karakter religius siswa dan optimalisasi keterlibatan orang tua lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan keterlibatan dalam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak daripada hanya mengandalkan pendekatan pengajaran guru. Studi ini terkait dengan pengembangan budaya religius sekolah dengan menyoroti pentingnya faktor internal siswa dan dukungan keluarga dalam menumbuhkan keterlibatan belajar yang berkelanjutan.

Analysis of Students' Academic Learning Time in Physical Education (ALT-PE) Based on PJOK Teachers' Competence in Pasuruan Regency

Salis Samsul Ma'arif — 2026-08-21

Academic Learning Time in Physical Education (ALT-PE) indicates teaching effectiveness in Physical, Sport, and Health Education (PJOK), yet its attainment depends heavily on teacher competence. This study described ALT-PE levels among elementary school students in Pasuruan Regency and examined differences across three categories of PJOK teacher competence: certified, non-certified, and non-linear (out-of-field). A quantitative comparative, descriptive-inferential design involved 15 PJOK teachers (five per category) and 75 students from 15 public elementary schools. Data were collected through video observation using the ALT-PE Coding Manual with interval recording, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, One-Way ANOVA, and the Games-Howell post-hoc test. The overall mean ALT-PE was 39.69%, below the recommended minimum standard of 50%. Certified teachers achieved the highest mean (66.32%) and were the only group meeting the standard, followed by non-certified (33.68%) and non-linear teachers (19.08%). ANOVA revealed a significant difference among the groups (F = 312.47; p < .001; η² = .956), with all pairwise comparisons significant in the Games-Howell test. These findings confirm that teacher competence, particularly certification status and educational-background alignment, is the principal determinant of effective student learning time in physical education. The study recommends accelerated certification, intensive training for non-linear teachers, and field-aligned teacher placement policies.

Keywords: Academic learning time; ALT-PE; Pasuruan Regency; PJOK teacher competence; teacher certification

The Role of Daurah Murabbiyah Wusthā in Developing the Spiritual and Intellectual Identity of Muslimat Hidayatullah Cadres in Sumatra

Enik Nur Faizah — 2026-08-28

This research aims to analyze the role of Daurah Murabbiyah Wustha in strengthening spiritual identity, enhancing intellectual capacity, and consolidating Islamic brotherhood among the Muslimat Hidayatullah cadres throughout Sumatra. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and a case study design, the research captures the implementation of the daurah on August 30-31, 2025, at the Hidayatullah Batam Main Campus. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document review, then analyzed thematically with validation through source triangulation and discussions with the organizers.

The results show a significant improvement in three main areas. First, spiritual identity: 92% of participants experienced a strengthening of their understanding of Islamic identity based on monotheism and the systematics of revelation, in accordance with QS. Ali Imran:79 and QS. Al-Jumu‘ah:2. Second, intellectual capacity: 87% of participants mastered the material of the Wustha level halaqah (SW, ASWAJA, Al-Harakah, Imamah, Jama‘atun minal Muslimīn, Wasathiyah) and were able to present the material through microteaching, in line with QS. An-Nahl:125. Third, Islamic brotherhood: a network of cadres was formed from 11 regions, in accordance with QS. As-Saff:4. The achievement graph shows an average increase of 27–28% between pre- and post-training scores, with spiritual and brotherhood dimensions reaching over 90%. It is concluded that Daurah Murabbiyah Wustha is effective as a means of standardizing the competencies of murabbiyah and strengthening the cadre of women's da'wah based on the values of monotheism, knowledge, and social networks.

The Role of Learning Motivation in Early Literacy Development: A Phenomenological Study of Elementary Students' Reading and Writing Experiences

Tuti Alawiyah Matondang — 2026-08-29

This phenomenological study aimed to describe the essential structures of learning motivation as experienced by elementary students during reading and writing activities. Employing Moustakas’s transcendental phenomenological approach, the study involved 18 first- through third-grade students from three public elementary schools. Data were collected through semi-structured phenomenological interviews, participant observations, stimulated recall using video recordings, and document collection including reading logs and writing journals. Analysis followed the modified Stevick-Colizzi-Keen method, yielding four invariant themes that constitute the essential structure of motivated literacy experience: the felt sense of competence as embodied satisfaction, the social visibility of literacy achievement, the perceived meaningfulness of the literacy task itself, and the temporal flow of engaged versus disengaged states. The findings reveal that learning motivation in early literacy is not a stable internal trait but a dynamic, context-sensitive intentional relationship between the child and the act of reading or writing. Motivation emerges from a self-reinforcing cycle in which successful performance produces embodied competence, competence becomes socially visible, the task is perceived as meaningful, and temporal awareness recedes, allowing absorption in the activity. The absence of any component disrupts the cycle, producing disengagement. The study contributes a phenomenological grounding to self-determination theory and offers practical implications for literacy instruction that supports children’s embodied, social, and temporal experiences of motivation.

Syaiful Akbar — 2026-08-29

This study aims to examine the influence of Technology Readiness and Technology Self-Efficacy on Employee Performance, with Digital Competence serving as a mediating variable in payment switching companies in Indonesia. The study is motivated by the rapid digital transformation in the payment systems industry, which requires organizations to develop a workforce with adequate technological readiness, confidence in using technology, and digital competence to enhance employee performance. The research framework is grounded in Technology Readiness Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, and Human Capital Theory. A quantitative research approach was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from 175 employees working at four payment switching companies in Indonesia and analyzed using SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that Technology Readiness and Technology Self-Efficacy have positive and significant effects on both Digital Competence and Employee Performance. Furthermore, Digital Competence has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance and is found to mediate the relationships between Technology Readiness and Employee Performance, as well as between Technology Self-Efficacy and Employee Performance. These findings suggest that enhancing employees' technological readiness, confidence in using technology, and digital competence plays a crucial role in improving employee performance in Indonesia's payment switching industry.

However, several challenges remained, including limited computer hardware specifications and insufficient start-up capital for graduates seeking to establish independent businesses. Overall, the management of the PKW program at PKBM Fivty Group has successfully produced graduates who are independent and prepared to engage in entrepreneurship within the creative economy sector

Active Learning Time In Physical Education As Assessed By The Body Mass Index Of Elementary School Students

Muhammad Taufiqi Kurniawan — 2026-09-03

Academic Learning Time in Physical Education (ALT-PE) refers to the proportion of class time students spend actively engaged in motor tasks that align with instructional objectives. This study examined ALT-PE among elementary school students in Kraton District, Pasuruan Regency, and compared it across Body Mass Index (BMI) categories. A descriptive-comparative quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was applied to 60 students in grades IV–VI, selected through stratified random sampling and divided evenly into underweight, normal, and overweight groups. BMI was assessed using a digital scale and a stadiometer, while ALT-PE was recorded through direct observation using a 6-second interval-recording technique adapted from Siedentop, Tousignant, and Parker’s coding instrument. Results showed an overall mean ALT-PE of 34.7%, significantly below the recommended 50% benchmark (p < .001; Cohen’s d = - 2.04). The normal-BMI group recorded the highest mean ALT-PE (44.2%), compared with the underweight (30.0%) and overweight (29.8%) groups. Welch’s ANOVA confirmed a significant between-group difference, F(2, 34.9) = 189.00, p < .001, and Tukey’s post hoc test showed that the normal group differed significantly from both other groups, while the underweight and overweight groups did not differ from each other. These findings suggest that nutritional status is associated with student engagement during physical education and support more inclusive, differentiated instructional approaches.

Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, and Teacher Character in Pasuruan: A Comparative Study Based on Elementary and Junior High School Levels

Akhmad Muzakki Muzakki — 2026-09-04

This study examined differences in physical activity, physical fitness, and teacher character among educators in Pasuruan according to teaching level (elementary versus junior high school). Teachers serve as instructors, classroom managers, and role models; therefore, variations in student characteristics across levels may shape teachers’ activity patterns, fitness status, and professional character. A quantitative comparative survey design was employed with 150 teachers (75 elementary and 75 junior high) selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Physical activity was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, physical fitness with a 2,400-meter run test, and teacher character with a six-pillar character scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and the Mann–Whitney U test. Results indicated no statistically significant differences between the two groups for physical activity (p = 0.871), physical fitness (p = 0.944), or teacher character (p = 1.000). Teaching level therefore does not appear to be a primary differentiating factor. Integrated programs promoting physical activity, fitness, and character can be designed jointly for elementary and junior high school teachers. Future research should consider age, years of service, lifestyle, health status, and work environment.

Spiritual And Emotional Intelligence As Internal Mechanisms For Strengthening Buddhist Character

Ari Suryana — 2026-09-04

Character education in the digital era necessitates proactive pedagogical frameworks that strengthen students' internal psychological capacities. This study aims to empirically examine the simultaneous and partial influence of spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence on the strengthening of Buddhist character. Employing a quantitative approach, the research involved 145 high school students across grades X, XI, and XII at SMA Ahmad Yani Binjai. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, with Buddhist character operationalized through the traditional Dasa Pāramī (Ten Perfections) framework. The findings reveal that both independent variables exert a positive and highly significant impact on character formation. Partially, spiritual intelligence contributes 38.91% to the structural model, functioning as the internal value orientation system, while emotional intelligence contributes 37.13%, serving as the essential self-regulation mechanism. Simultaneously, spiritual and emotional intelligence account for 76% of the variance in the strengthening of Buddhist character (F = 224.617, p < 0.001). The study concludes that robust character formation is not an isolated cognitive process, but rather the result of a complementary integration between spiritual meaning-making (moral knowing) and emotional regulation (moral feeling) to produce definitive moral actions.

The Use of Gemini AI as a Learning Tool for Poster Creation in the Topic of Technological and Scientific Development for Grade XII Students at SMA Al-Hikmah Surabaya

Muhammad Yazid Al Busthomi — 2026-09-04

This study analyzes how to Grade XII students used Gemini AI to create posters on the development of science and technology. A descriptive qualitative design was employed with 25 students at Al-Hikmah Senior High School, Surabaya. The data comprised 25 prompts submitted to Gemini and students’ responses to ten open-ended questions after the activity. The data were examined through reflexive thematic analysis, complemented by a descriptive reading of prompt length and components. The findings show that students used Gemini as an integrated production environment to locate information, formulate titles and copy, generate visual ideas, and revise designs. Their practices nevertheless formed a spectrum ranging from near-complete delegation to collaboration in which students acted as directors and editors. All students reported encountering limitations in AI outputs, particularly inaccuracies, overly general answers, visual mismatches, and typographical errors. They verified outputs through books, teacher-provided materials, articles, and websites, although the depth of verification varied. This study contributes the concept of dual learning: students learned the history of technological development while developing AI literacy through prompting, curation, verification, and creative decision-making. Gemini was most educationally productive when positioned as a dialogic partner subject to human judgment rather than as a substitute for student thinking.

Analysis of Leadership Style, Public Relations, and Institutional Crisis Mitigation In Strengthening Islamic Corporate Culture. (A Case Study at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Salam Magelang )

Nofa Kharida Nofa — 2026-09-04

This qualitative embedded single-case study examines the integration of principal leadership, public relations (PR) strategies, and institutional crisis mitigation in strengthening Islamic Corporate Culture at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Salam, located in Magelang Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected via passive participant observation, documentary analysis, and semi-structured interviews with six key informants (N = 6) selected across four functional tiers: executive leadership (School Principal), operational administration (Vice Principal for PR and Vice Principal for Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan), senior instructional staff, and student leadership (Ikatan Pelajar Muhammadiyah officers). Data rigor was maintained using NVivo 14 software and Lincoln and Guba’s trustworthiness criteria. The findings indicate that the principal operationalizes a hybrid leadership model synthesizing democratic decision-making, humanistic empathy, and spiritual role-modeling (uswah hasanah). PR management is driven by the ethical principle of Tabligh through dialogic engagement and digital branding, while crisis mitigation relies on proactive risk identification and values-aligned communication (Amanah). However, operational bottlenecks including decision making inertia, the absence of standardized SOP blueprints, and underutilized Business and Industry (DUDI) partnerships risk reducing Islamic culture to routine administrative rituals. To address these challenges, this study explicitly proposes an integrated tripartite managerial model that structurally aligns prophetic leadership practices, Tabligh-driven communication protocols, and Amanah-focused risk governance. This framework offers a practical blueprint to systematically transition Islamic organizational culture from superficial compliance into an all encompassing operational work ethic (Itqan) within vocational education management.

Physical Literacy of Elementy School Students in Rembang District: A Comparative Study Based on Teacher Certification Status

Ina Elin Nisak — 2026-09-06

This study describes the physical literacy level of elementary school students and examines differences based on PE teacher certification status in Rembang District. Addressing the physical literacy crisis in the digital era requires quality PE teaching. An explanatory quantitative comparative design was applied to 700 students (grades IV–VI) from 25 schools (508 taught by certified teachers; 192 by non-certified teachers), drawn from a population of 2,800 students across 35 schools. Data were collected with an adapted Physical Literacy Questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s test, and independent-samples t-test. Overall physical literacy was categorized as Good, with 82% of students in Good to Excellent ranges (t(699) = 21.1, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.798). No significant difference appeared between students of certified and non-certified teachers (t(698) = 0.759, p = 0.448, Cohen’s d = 0.064). Certification status is therefore not the primary determinant; teaching experience, teacher dedication, and school facilities appear more influential.

Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, and Teacher Character in Pasuruan Regency: A Comparative Study Based on Gender

Mokhammad Lutfi Firmansyah — 2026-09-06

This study examined differences in physical activity, physical fitness, and teacher character among teachers in Pasuruan Regency according to gender. A quantitative comparative survey with a cross-sectional design was applied to 150 teachers (75 male and 75 female) from elementary and junior high schools. Physical activity was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), physical fitness with the 2,400-meter Cooper run test, and teacher character with a scale based on The Six Pillars of Character. Mean physical activity scores were 975 MET-minutes/week for male teachers and 968 for female teachers. Mean fitness scores were 17.5 and 17.4, respectively, while mean character scores were identical at 39.1. Independent samples t-tests and Mann–Whitney U tests yielded p-values greater than 0.05 for all three variables, indicating no statistically significant gender differences. The findings suggest that shared professional demands and organizational culture may outweigh biological sex in shaping these outcomes. Schools and education authorities can therefore design inclusive health, fitness, and character-development programs for all teachers without gender-based differentiation.

Active Lifestyle, Physical Fitness, and Teacher Charakter among Elementary and Junior High School Teachers in Pasuruan

Darmaji Aji — 2026-09-06

This study examined active lifestyle, physical fitness, and teacher character among elementary and junior high school teachers in Pasuruan. Teachers require adequate physical condition and positive character to perform effectively and serve as role models. A quantitative descriptive-comparative design was applied with 150 teachers. Active lifestyle was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), physical fitness through a 2,400-meter run or walk test, and teacher character via a validated character scale. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and one-sample t-tests in Jamovi. Results indicated that teachers’ active lifestyle exceeded the reference standard (M = 972 MET-minutes/week), while physical fitness remained below the expected standard (M = 17.4). Teacher character scored very high (M = 39.1). Although teachers demonstrated sufficient daily physical activity and strong character, structured exercise is still needed to improve fitness levels. Schools and education authorities are encouraged to support regular fitness programs that enhance teachers’ health, work motivation, and instructional quality.

Madrasah in the Haramain and The Transmission of Islamic Knowledge to the Nusantara

Indriyani Ma’rifah — 2026-09-06

This paper examines the historical development of madrasah in the Haramain and their contribution to the transmission of Islamic knowledge to Nusantara. It focuses on the Haramain as transregional centers of Islamic learning and on the intellectual networks connecting Mecca and Medina with Muslim scholars from the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago. The study employs a historical research method with a qualitative approach, using library research and historical-document analysis. Data were obtained from primary and secondary sources, including historical works, biographical literature, Islamic educational texts, and recent scholarly studies on the Haramain–Nusantara intellectual network. Historical criticism and contextual analysis were used to reconstruct the development of madrasah and examine their role in knowledge transmission. The findings indicate that economic patronage, political interests, theological considerations, and social factors contributed to the emergence and development of madrasah in the Haramain. These institutions developed organized educational systems, distinctive curricula, and teaching practices based on oral instruction, memorization, discussion, and writing. The study further demonstrates that the Haramain played a significant role in shaping Nusantara ulama (Nusantara scholars) through scholarly networks, teacher–student relationships, knowledge transmission, and sanad. The study contributes to a broader understanding of Islamic education by demonstrating that the Haramain–Nusantara relationship was not merely a process of knowledge transfer but also a dynamic process of intellectual exchange and reproduction.

Sports Facility Accessibility, Sports Awareness, and Physical Activity: A Path Analysis of Physical Fitness among Senior High School Students in Batu City

Citra Destiasari — 2026-09-08

Physical activity and physical fitness among Indonesian adolescents, including those in Batu City, remain at concerning levels, warranting serious attention from educators and school sport policymakers. This study examines how sports facility accessibility and sports awareness shape physical activity and physical fitness among senior high school students in Batu City, and further investigates whether sports awareness functions as a mediating pathway linking facility accessibility to physical activity. A cross-sectional correlational survey was conducted involving 701 public senior high school and vocational school students in Batu City, recruited through purposive sampling based on school representativeness. Data were gathered with a six-point Likert questionnaire that met validity (Pearson r = 0.681–0.798) and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.834–0.893) requirements, then analyzed using path analysis in IBM SPSS Statistics. Findings show that sports facility accessibility significantly shapes sports awareness (β = 0.143; p = 0.000) but does not directly affect physical activity (β = 0.003; p = 0.921); conversely, sports awareness strongly drives physical activity (β = 0.673; p = 0.000) and fully mediates the pathway from accessibility to physical activity. Together, the three predictors explain 51.0% of the variance in physical fitness, with physical activity as the strongest contributor (β = 0.689). The study concludes that providing sports facilities alone is insufficient to change students' active lifestyle unless accompanied by strengthened sports awareness and motivation; schools therefore need a dual strategy combining facility improvement with sustained motivational education.

High School Teachers’ Perceptions of Learning Innovation in the Indonesia–Timor-Leste Border Region

Yunawati Sele — 2026-09-08

Learning innovation is an effort that needs to be undertaken by teachers. This study was conducted to describe high school teachers’ perceptions of learning innovation in the Indonesia–Timor-Leste border region. This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach involving 90 high school teachers in Timor Tengah Utara Regency. Data were collected using a questionnaire on teachers’ perceptions of learning innovation. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that high school teachers’ perceptions of learning innovation in the Indonesia–Timor-Leste border region were in the Fair category, with a mean score of 70.73. Most teachers, namely 83.33%, had perceptions in the Poor and Fair categories, while only 14.44% of teachers had perceptions in the Good and Excellent categories. These findings indicate the need to strengthen teachers’ perceptions of learning innovation and provide an empirical basis for developing contextual learning innovation guidelines to help teachers create learning that is creative, adaptive, and appropriate to local conditions.

Islamic Digital Literacy as a Pedagogical Model for Religious Broadcasting in the Formation of Transcendent Character in Early Childhood

Yayu Bondan Pujiniarti — 2026-09-08

The development of digital media has transformed early childhood learning practices, including Islamic education. However, digital media use in Raudhatul Athfal is often positioned merely as a learning aid or entertainment tool rather than as a structured pedagogical model for shaping children’s religious character. This study aims to analyze Islamic digital literacy as a religious broadcasting pedagogy model in developing transcendent character among early childhood learners. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design at Raudhatul Athfal in Bobotsari, Purbalingga, Central Java. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving teachers, the school principal, Islamic media practitioners, parents, and young learners. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. The findings reveal that Islamic digital literacy operates through three main processes: producing digital religious content, curating Islamic values, and internalizing transcendent character. Teachers act not only as instructors but also as content producers, narrators, moral curators, and connectors between school and family. The novelty of this study lies in positioning Islamic digital literacy as a religious broadcasting pedagogy model that does not merely use digital media as an instructional tool, but transforms it into a space for cultivating morality, empathy, care, and spiritual awareness in early childhood.

The Role of Emotional Intelligence, Learning Motivation, and Exercise Awareness in Supporting Physical Education Learning Outcomes of High School Students

Luthfia Wulandari — 2026-09-09

This research is grounded in the significance of psychological and behavioral factors in achieving the objectives of Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK). The study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence, learning motivation, and exercise awareness with PJOK learning outcomes among high school students, both partially and simultaneously. A quantitative approach with correlational research design and multivariate correlational analysis was employed. The research sample consisted of 555 students from UM Malang Laboratory High School, selected through purposive sampling technique.

The findings revealed significant correlations between emotional regulation and PJOK learning outcomes (Sig. = 0.002; r = 0.131), student learning motivation and sports learning outcomes (r = 0.103), and exercise awareness with learning outcomes (r = 0.196). However, the strength of these three relationships was categorized as very low. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that emotional intelligence, learning motivation, and exercise awareness simultaneously had a significant correlation with PJOK learning outcomes (Sig. = 0.000) with a contribution of 4.2% (R² = 0.042), while 95.8% was influenced by other factors outside this research. Therefore, it can be concluded that emotional intelligence, learning motivation, and exercise awareness are significantly related to high school students' PJOK learning outcomes, both partially and simultaneously.

Based on these findings, students are expected to enhance their emotional intelligence, learning motivation, and exercise awareness through literacy development and regular physical activity habits to support improved fitness and learning outcomes.

This study aimed to develop the Ouija Karir board game as a feasible and practical medium to support group guidance services in helping high school students understand career planning. The study was motivated by students’ difficulties in identifying their interests, abilities, personality characteristics, and appropriate educational and occupational choices. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the Four-D (4D) development model, consisting of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. However, the present study was conducted only through the Develop stage, including product development, expert validation, revision, and a limited trial. The participants consisted of one material expert, one media expert, one guidance and counseling teacher, and six eleventh-grade students at SMA Muhammadiyah 18 Sunggal. The product was developed based on John L. Holland’s career choice theory, incorporating six RIASEC personality types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Data were collected through expert validation and response questionnaires using a four-point Likert scale and analyzed descriptively using percentage scores. The findings indicated that the product was highly feasible based on media expert validation (97%) and material expert validation (79.54%). The product was also considered highly practical based on the guidance and counseling teacher’s response (90%) and practical based on students’ responses (51.92%). These findings indicate that the Ouija Karir board game is feasible and practical as a supporting medium for group guidance services to facilitate students’ understanding of career planning. Further research is needed to examine its effectiveness using a larger sample and an appropriate experimental design.

Adrini Yulita — 2026-09-13

Critical thinking is a central competency in physics learning, yet preliminary evidence in this study showed that students' skills remained low while digital teaching materials, local cultural contexts, and structured problem-based learning were not optimally integrated. This study aimed to develop digital teaching materials integrating ethnophysics and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on fluid topics and to evaluate their validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The study employed Research and Development using the ADDIE model. Three expert validators assessed the product, with validity analyzed using Aiken's V. Practicality was evaluated through student and teacher response questionnaires, while effectiveness was examined using pretest-posttest data from experimental and control classes through N-Gain analysis, the Mann-Whitney test, and effect-size analysis. The developed materials integrate fluid concepts with West Sumatran cultural phenomena and include learning materials, worksheets, videos, simulations, exercises, evaluation, and reflection activities. The mean Aiken's V value was 0.78, indicating that the materials met the validity criterion. Student practicality reached 93.92%, corresponding to the very practical category, while all indicators assessed by teachers were also categorized as very practical. The experimental class achieved a critical-thinking N-Gain of 0.613, categorized as moderate, compared with 0.085 in the control class, categorized as low. The Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference in posttest scores between the two classes (p < 0.001), accompanied by a very large effect size (r = 0.859). Based on these validation, practicality, and effectiveness indicators, the developed digital teaching materials met the criteria for validity and high practicality and demonstrated effectiveness in improving students' critical thinking on fluid topics within contextual physics learning.

The Contextual Teaching and Learning Model (CTL) Assisted by Animated Video Media on Indonesian Language Learning Motivation of Fifth Grade Students of SD IT Ar-Rahman, South Lampung

Ira Purnama Sari — 2026-09-13

Low learning motivation in Indonesian language learning in elementary schools can limit students' attention, involvement, and persistence during the learning process. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach assisted by animated video media on the motivation to learn Indonesian language of fifth-grade students at SD IT Ar-Rahman, South Lampung. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent control group design . The research sample consisted of 46 students divided into an experimental group (23 students) and a control group (23 students). The experimental group received CTL learning assisted by animated video, while the control group received Direct Instruction learning assisted by PowerPoint. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test, the Levene test, paired-samples t-test , and inter-group differences using the Independent Samples t-Test and the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test as a confirmatory analysis. The results showed that the average motivation score of the experimental group increased from 80.7391 in the pretest to 91.1304 in the posttest, while the control group increased from 76.7826 to 87.8261. The posttest average of the experimental group was 3.3043 points higher than the control group. The results of the Independent Samples t-Test showed a significant difference between groups (p < 0.001), which was confirmed through the Mann–Whitney U test (U = 159.000; p = 0.001). These findings indicate that the integration of CTL with animated videos has the potential to support learning motivation through contextual, visual, interactive, and participatory learning experiences. This study concludes that CTL assisted by animated videos can be a pedagogical alternative in Indonesian language learning. The implication is that teachers need to integrate audiovisual media in a targeted manner into contextual learning activities, not just using it as a stand-alone presentation medium.

Developing a Global Citizenship Oriented Pesantren Curriculum From an Islamic Educational Perspective

Muhammad Ilman Hafizhul Huda — 2026-09-14

This study aims to analyze th e conceptual relevance of UNESCO’s Global Citizenship Education (GCED) within Islamic educational values and formulate a novel curriculum framework titled Islamic Global Citizenship Education (IGCE) tailored for pesantren (Islamic boarding schools). Employing a qualitative library research methodology, this study systematically retrieved primary and secondary data from official UNESCO documents, classical Islamic texts, and peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. Content analysis, along with comparative techniques, was utilized to evaluate conceptual intersections and synthesize an integrative curriculum model. The results demonstrate a profound alignment between universal GCED dimensions and core Islamic normative principles, specifically linking global awareness to ta‘āruf, respect for diversity to tasāmuh, social responsibility to amanah, peacebuilding to iṣlāḥ, and environmental sustainability to khalīfah fī al-arḍ. Built upon the foundational pillars of the Qur'an, Hadith, and Maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah, the proposed IGCE model integrates four essential core competencies: spiritual, global, social, and digital capabilities. The practical implications of these findings highlight that the IGCE framework can be seamlessly adopted through a cross-curricular approach across pesantren, madrasahs, and Islamic higher education institutions without requiring new standalone subjects. Ultimately, this framework advances the field by bridging the gap between Western global citizenship paradigms and Islamic pedagogy. It provides Islamic educational institutions with a clear, actionable blueprint to nurture graduates who possess strong religious foundations, high digital literacy, cross-cultural competence, and an active commitment to addressing global human issues.

Navigating Positive Discipline in Early Childhood Classrooms: Teachers’ Challenges and Experiences

Cintiya Elna Wibowo — 2026-09-15

This study explored early childhood teachers’ challenges and experiences in implementing positive discipline within a natural classroom setting. Although positive discipline is widely promoted in early childhood education, most existing studies focus on behavioral strategies or program outcomes, with limited attention to how teachers enact positive discipline as an emotionally demanding, relational practice in everyday classroom interactions, especially in Indonesian contexts. Employing a qualitative single-case study design, the research was conducted at TK Aisyah Menuran, Baki, Sukoharjo, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were gathered from four purposively selected teachers through semi-structured interviews, non-participant classroom observations, and institutional document reviews, followed by reflexive thematic analysis. The findings revealed three interconnected themes: (1) balancing emotional responsiveness with behavioral boundaries through “connection before correction,” (2) managing repeated challenging behaviors using redirection and guided situation repair rather than immediate punishment, and (3) maintaining structural rule consistency while flexibly adapting communication strategies to individual child temperaments and developmental readiness. The study demonstrates that positive discipline is experienced not as a rigid set of management techniques, but as a dynamic, relational, and emotionally demanding practice. These insights extend existing literature by conceptualizing positive discipline as an ongoing process of emotional co-regulation and relational negotiation, rather than solely a classroom management toolkit. The findings emphasize the need for professional development that enhances educators’ emotional co-regulation capacities and highlight the importance of aligning home, school behavioral expectations within an ecological framework.

The Effect of Substituting Kimpul Taro Flour (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) on the Quality and Acceptability of Risoles: Family Welfare Education

Mifthahul Jannah — 2026-09-14

Risoles are a type of food that typically uses wheat flour as the main ingredient in their wrappers. The use of local food ingredients as substitutes can serve as an alternative to reduce the use of wheat flour, one of which is kimpul taro flour. This study aims to analyze the effect of substituting 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% kimpul taro flour on the sensory quality and acceptability of risoles. This study employed an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting of 5 treatments and three replicates. The study was conducted through sensory and hedonic tests by 30 untrained panelists. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of 0.05, followed by Duncan’s multiple range test when significant effects were found. The results showed that the substitution of kimpul taro flour had no significant effect on the sensory quality of the risoles—including their shape and aroma—but did have a significant effect on the grayish color of the risoles. The average grayish color value increased from 1.88 in the 0% treatment to 2.00 in the 25% treatment, to 3.00 in the 50% treatment, to 5.78 in the 75% treatment, and to 6.01 in the 100% treatment. In the acceptability test, the substitution of kimpul taro flour at the 25% treatment level still received good acceptance regarding the color quality of the risoles. Overall, kimpul taro flour has the potential to be used as a substitute ingredient in the production of risoles

This study evaluates the implementation of a Qur’an memorization (tahfiz) program using the Ummi Method at SDI Baiturrachman Pinang, an Islamic elementary school in Tangerang City, Indonesia, applying Stufflebeam’s Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, involving the Tahfiz Program Coordinator, Tahfiz teachers, Grade VI students, and parents/guardians, purposively selected until data saturation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation review, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, with credibility established through source and method triangulation, member checking, and an audit trail. The findings show that: (1) the context component was strongly favourable, with the program explicitly aligned to the school’s Qur’anic vision and mission and well received by parents and the community; (2) the input component was adequate, with half of the eight active Tahfiz teachers formally certified by the Ummi Foundation, dedicated Tahfiz rooms, individual Ummi mushaf copies, and a weekly monitoring record, although multimedia facilities remained limited; (3) the process component ran in a structured and consistent manner through five daily stages (recitation, review, talaqqi, individual recitation, and closing) supported by tiered monitoring and regular internal and external supervision, though parental involvement in home review remained uneven; and (4) the product component was strongly positive, with Grade VI graduates averaging at least one juz of memorization at good tajwid quality, 85% of students meeting the school’s target, and observable gains in students’ religious character, including worship discipline, morals, and confidence in Qur’an recitation. The study’s contribution lies in applying a complete, integrated CIPP evaluation to an Ummi-based tahfiz program at the elementary level and in producing an explicit CIPP instrument grid (mapping components, sub-components, and indicators) that other schools running similar programs can adapt for their own evaluations.

Strengthening Green Culture through the Tahfidz Program at the Boarding School of MTsN 2 Demak

Wisnu Mubarok — 2026-09-17

Environmental disasters, including landslides, forest fires, and floods, underscore the importance of environmental responsibility. In Demak, improper waste disposal can obstruct waterways and exacerbate rainy-season flooding, highlighting the relevance of translating Qur’anic values into environmental care. However, how tahfidz activities connect with everyday environmental practices in Islamic boarding schools remains insufficiently understood. This study explored this connection at the Boarding School of MTsN 2 Demak, focusing on practices and supporting and inhibiting conditions. Qualitative field research combined participant observation, interviews with six purposively selected external informants, and document review. Data were organized thematically, with researcher reflections distinguished from external interview accounts. Findings indicate that the connection between tahfidz and green culture was articulated through religious guidance, role modeling, supervised routines, and shared environmental duties. Environmental care was reflected in accounts of scheduled cleaning, shared-space and drain maintenance, and proper waste disposal. Musyrif guidance and student cooperation supported these practices, while uneven awareness, fluctuating motivation, and dependence on reminders constrained independent action. The study’s contribution lies in identifying the everyday educational practices through which Qur’anic learning is connected with environmental responsibility, while distinguishing participation in assigned duties from independent initiative. Practically, the findings suggest explicitly connecting Qur’anic values with environmental tasks and providing opportunities for students to act independently. These contextual findings concern primarily cleanliness and shared responsibility; they do not establish a causal effect of tahfidz on green culture

Sri Armastuty Hartini — 2026-09-19

This study evaluates the implementation of Indonesia’s Minimum Competency Assessment (

Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum

, AKM) program as an instrument of educational quality assurance at elementary school, using Stufflebeam’s Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. A qualitative evaluative design was employed, involving 22 participants: the school principal, five grade-five teachers, one school operator, and fifteen grade-five students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation review, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification), with credibility established through source, method, and time triangulation and member checking. The findings show that: (1) the contextual conditions were favourable, marked by accurate stakeholder understanding of AKM as a diagnostic tool, an active school literacy culture, and supportive policy and environmental conditions; (2) input readiness was adequate, reflected in collaborative instructional leadership, sufficient computer-based national assessment infrastructure, a sustained long-term preparation strategy, and full (100%) participant attendance; (3) the implementation process complied with national procedures, supported by effective team coordination, responsive handling of technical constraints, and a documented culture of post-assessment reflection; and (4) the resulting outcomes indicate a positive contribution to quality assurance, with 73.33% of students reaching the proficient/advanced level in reading literacy and 76.67% in numeracy, surpassing the school’s revised target of 70% (raised from a baseline of 60%). AKM results were actively used to inform remedial teaching, differentiated instruction, and data-based school planning. The study underscores the importance of strengthening teachers’ data-analysis capacity and transforming contextual literacy and numeracy pedagogy as priorities for continuous improvement.

Design and Evaluation of a Virtual Reality Property Business Simulation with an Embedded Building Cost Estimation Module

Mohamad Firzon Ainur Roziqin — 2026-09-19

This study designs and evaluates a virtual reality property business simulation, SmartRoom, whose central feature is an embedded building cost estimation module. Existing virtual reality applications for the property sector stop at visualisation and do not produce a validated cost figure while a design is being explored, so learners of construction cost estimation cannot observe the spatial consequences of their decisions. Following a design science research framework, the artefact was evaluated on three dimensions: cost estimation accuracy, technical performance, and usability. Accuracy was measured against conventional bill-of-quantity calculations on ten building scenarios using mean absolute percentage error. Technical performance was recorded through in-application telemetry at up to eight concurrent users. Usability was measured on thirty participants using the System Usability Scale and the User Experience Questionnaire, with discomfort measured using the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire. The parametric mode obtained a mean absolute percentage error of 7.02 percent and the quantity-based mode 2.14 percent, both within the tolerance of their respective estimate classes. All performance parameters met their thresholds, the System Usability Scale score was 82.00, and all user experience scales were positive. Simulator sickness rose markedly after use and is reported as the principal limitation. Learning effectiveness was not tested.

Development Of Punnett Diagram Learning Media On Trait Inheritance Material In Class IX MTs Darul Ulum

Nurul Kamila Inayah — 2026-09-19

Learning inheritance of traits in grade IX MTs Darul Ulum faces obstacles in the form of abstraction of the concepts of genes, alleles, genotypes, phenotypes, and crossover processes, while the use of visual media that helps students understand the Punnett Diagram is still limited. This condition causes students to tend to memorize procedures without understanding the relationship between whole genetic concepts. This research aims to develop the learning media of the Punnett Diagram and determine the level of validity, practicality, and effectiveness in the inheritance material. The research uses the Research and Development method with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects consist of material experts, media experts, science teachers, and 29 students of grade IX MTs Darul Ulum. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, as well as pretest and posttest. Validity and practicality data were analyzed descriptively using percentages, while effectiveness was analyzed using N-Gain. The results showed that the media obtained an average validity of 86.00 percent with a very valid category. The teacher's response reached 88.40 percent, and the student's response was 85.80 percent, both in the very practical category. The average score of the students increased from 58.62 in the pretest to 81.38 in the posttest with an N-Gain of 0.55 in the medium category. It is concluded that the Punnett Diagram media is valid, practical, and effective as an alternative for science learning.

The Patient-Experience Gap in Supplement Education: A Future-Ready Needs Assessment in Jakarta and West Java

Fransiskus Samuel Renaldi — 2026-09-20

Background: Supplement use is common, but education may omit patient context, interaction screening, adverse effects, and follow-up. This study mapped these needs for a future-ready community-pharmacy and primary-care model. Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional needs assessment included 60 adults in Jakarta and West Java, Indonesia, on 25–26 August 2026. The questionnaire assessed supplement use, safety practices, confidence, patient experience, digital behaviour, and delivery preferences. We summarised frequencies, means, exploratory internal consistency, and Spearman correlations; population inference and causal testing were not intended. Results: Thirty-five (58.3%) used ≥2 supplements; 27 (45.0%) reported a side effect or uncertainty. Risk behaviours included similar-product use (50.0%), long-term use without reassessment (47.5%), and self-increasing the dose (40.0%). Exploratory means were 4.46/5 for patient experience, 4.36 for confidence, and 4.23 for digital readiness; unmet needs were indication/need (56.7%), product selection (65.0%), and adverse effects/red flags (46.7%). Pharmacy counselling, chat/WhatsApp, short video, reminders, and benefit/complaint check-ins were preferred. Conclusion: In this small nonprobability sample, findings suggest a human-led blended pathway using personalised counselling, teach-back, official digital microlearning, and lightweight follow-up. This preliminary blueprint requires co-design, prototype validation, and intervention evaluation.

Web-Based Interactive Media Development For Improving Elementary Students' Conceptual Understanding Of Flat Shapes: A Mixed-Method R&D Study

Ahmad Asrof Azhar Azizi — 2026-09-20

This research was motivated by the low conceptual understanding of fourth-grade elementary students on flat-shape geometry, where 62.8% of students (42 out of 67) scored below the minimum proficiency standard, and instruction remained dominated by lecture methods without interactive digital media. The study aimed to develop and test the effectiveness of web-based interactive learning media to enhance students' conceptual understanding. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a mixed-method design, integrating the ADDIE model (5 phases) and Borg & Gall (10 stages) into four main phases: preliminary study, planning, development, and implementation. Product validation was conducted by three experts (content, media, and instructional design), while effectiveness testing employed a pretest-posttest control group design involving 60 fourth-grade students (30 experimental, 30 control). Expert validation results achieved an average of 89.8% (highly valid), with content expert 87%, media expert 86.4%, and instructional design expert 96%. Small group trials (N=15) obtained 90.45% feasibility, and operational field trials (N=30) obtained 91.53% (highly feasible). Effectiveness results showed the experimental group achieved an average N-Gain of 83.44% (high/effective category), while the control group achieved only 53.08% (medium/moderate category). The Mann-Whitney U test on N-Gain scores yielded Z = -4.887, p < 0.001, indicating a significant difference between experimental and control groups. In conclusion, the web-based interactive learning media proved valid, feasible, and effective in improving fourth-grade students' conceptual understanding of flat shapes.

Digital Media and Public Engagement in the Practice of Digital Heritage Education A Case Study of Saung Angklung Udjo, Bandung

Rumondang Puji Nur Suci — 2026-09-20

Cultural heritage education no longer happens only inside museums, cultural villages, or classrooms; a growing share of it takes place through digital media, before and after instead of a physical visit. This paper is a conceptual, literature-grounded study of how digital media formats shape public engagement within the broader practice of digital heritage education, using Saung Angklung Udjo (SAU) in Bandung as an illustrative case. SAU is built around the angklung, a bamboo instrument whose live performances are themselves participatory: audiences are invited to play alongside performers rather than simply watch. The paper asks how far that participatory character of heritage education carries over into SAU's digital media presence. Methodologically, it combines a narrative review of digital-heritage-education and heritage-pedagogy literature published between 2019 and 2026 with a qualitative, non-metric reading of SAU's own Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube content: each post or video is read against three format categories static image/carousel, short-form video, and long-form video and every category is evaluated against a single criterion, namely whether it functions mainly as information, as low-effort exposure, or as an active invitation for the audience to participate, rather than by follower counts or engagement metrics. The discussion argues that public engagement with digital heritage content is not the same thing as public participation in cultural education, and that SAU's current digital media mix leans more toward the former than the latter a gap with practical implications for how heritage institutions design outreach that actually teaches rather than only reaches.

Integrating Local Wisdom into Deep Social Studies Learning to Strengthen Graduate Profile Dimensions

Elvina Cahyaning Pertiwi — 2026-09-21

The integration of local wisdom into Social Studies learning can create experiences that are closely connected to students’ social and cultural environments while supporting the Graduate Profile Dimensions. This study examines how local wisdom is integrated into Deep Learning in Social Studies and how it contributes to strengthening those dimensions. A literature review was conducted using relevant scientific journal articles published from 2021 to 2026. The literature was selected by considering title and abstract relevance, full-text availability, publication year, and alignment with the focus of the review. The findings were analyzed by grouping evidence according to forms of local wisdom, patterns of integration in learning, Deep Learning principles, and links to the Graduate Profile Dimensions. Local wisdom was integrated as content, context, a learning resource, teaching material or media, and a learning experience. These forms supported mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning and contributed particularly to citizenship, critical reasoning, collaboration, creativity, communication, and faith and devotion. Teachers implemented the integration through project-based learning, case studies, field observations, discussions, and locally grounded materials and media. Local wisdom therefore provides a contextual foundation for Deep Social Studies learning oriented toward strengthening students’ competencies and character.

Implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) Model to Improve Students’ Conceptual Understanding

Nurul Hidayah — 2026-09-21

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in improving students’ conceptual understanding of the topic of states of matter and their changes. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 9 students of the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Study Program. The research instrument was a conceptual understanding test administered before and after the implementation of the PjBL model. The learning process was implemented through an ice cream making project as a learning context for identifying and explaining the concept of changes in the states of matter in everyday life. The research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normalized N-Gain scores, and a paired samples t-test. The results show an improvement in students’ conceptual understanding after the implementation of the PjBL model, as indicated by an increase in the mean score from 60,00 in the pretest to 77,22 in the posttest. The mean N-Gain value of 0,43 falls into the medium category. The results of the paired samples t-test indicate a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. These findings demonstrate that the implementation of the PjBL model is effective in improving students’ conceptual understanding of states of matter and their changes. Project-based learning provides contextual learning experiences through students’ involvement in designing and carrying out projects, so that the concept of changes in the states of matter can be understood more concretely and meaningfully. The results of this study may serve as an alternative for implementing innovative instruction in science learning, particularly in developing conceptual understanding through project-based learning experiences.

Supportive and Nonsupportive Parental Emotion Socialization and Early Childhood Emotion Regulation: A Systematic Review

Tuti Muthmainnah — 2026-09-21

Parental responses to children’s emotions play an important role in the development of emotion regulation during early childhood. This systematic review synthesizes recent evidence on supportive and nonsupportive parental emotion-socialization practices and their associations with children’s emotion regulation. Studies published between 2016 and 2026 were considered, with particular attention to emotion coaching, expressive encouragement, problem-focused and emotion-focused responses, emotion dismissing, minimization, punitive reactions, and parental distress responses. The review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 reporting principles, with methodological quality appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Findings indicate that supportive parental emotion socialization is generally associated with more adaptive emotion regulation, whereas nonsupportive practices show comparatively consistent associations with poorer regulation and greater emotional dysregulation. However, these relationships vary according to child age and emotionality, parental psychological functioning, broader parenting practices, maternal warmth, and sociocultural context. Longitudinal and observational evidence further suggests that parental emotion socialization operates transactionally rather than exclusively through unidirectional parent-to-child effects. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening supportive parental responses while reducing dismissive, punitive, and minimizing reactions to children’s emotions.

Development of Canva-Based Interactive E-Modules for Sundanese Script Learning in Elementary Schools

Abdurohman Abdurohman — 2026-09-21

This study aimed to develop and test an interactive e-module for reading and writing Sundanese script using Canva. The R&D method integrated Borg and Gall (10 stages) and ADDIE (5 phases) into four main stages: preliminary study, planning, development, and implementation. Subjects were 30 sixth-grade students at SDN 1 Bojongkalong, Sukabumi Regency. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and tests. Results showed: (1) The e-module was successfully developed using Canva, enriched with video, audio, and Wayground for pretest/posttest; (2) Feasibility was rated highly feasible by experts (material 90%, media 93.04%, instructional design 85.6%) and users (94.83%); (3) Effectiveness was moderate (N-Gain 0.69), yet student scores improved significantly from 44.83 to 83.00. The novelty lies in integrating Borg and Gall with ADDIE, using Canva-based e-modules specifically for Sundanese script, and incorporating Wayground for interactive evaluation. The implication is that this integrated procedure can serve as an alternative model for developing digital learning media, and the e-module can be used as innovative supplementary learning material.

Research Trends in Digital Humanities for Indonesian Foreign Language Literary Pedagogy

Jastin Martino — 2026-09-21

As Indonesian as a Foreign Language expands globally, international learners face significant cognitive load and affective barriers when encountering unmediated target-language literature. This systematic literature review investigates the integration of Digital Humanities tools, cognitive scaffolding mechanics, teacher agency constraints, and data privacy frameworks across contemporary literature instruction. Guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses protocol, comprehensive searches were conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and SINTA databases, followed by multi-stage screening against predefined eligibility criteria to identify 25 primary indexed studies published between 2021 and 2026 were qualitatively synthesized. Findings reveal that digital tool deployment is dominated by digitized text repositories (48%) and multimodal audio-visual media (34%), whereas interactive web-based simulations constitute only 18%. While digital storytelling mechanics such as visual culinary glossing, comparative folktale mapping, and branching choice simulations mitigate extraneous cognitive load and lower affective reading filters, the field suffers from a proficiency-blindness gap, with 72% of studies targeting unstratified general levels and only 4% addressing advanced learners. Furthermore, a concentration of early-stage development research (44%) and reliance on third-party commercial platforms exposes foreign learners to data telemetry risks while constraining instructor technical agency. To establish ethically sound pedagogy, institutions must transition toward open-source, client-side web architectures specifically client-side HyperText Markup Language and Vanilla JavaScript supported by teacher prompt engineering workflows to guarantee learner privacy and foster instructional autonomy.

Multisensory Haptic-Audio Didactical Design to Support a Visually Impaired Student’s Mastery of Functional Plant Concepts

Abu Abdullah Zar’an Zanzabiyla — 2026-09-21

Visually impaired students have limited access to visual information, which can hinder their understanding of concepts that are difficult to represent through verbal explanations alone. In IPAS learning, this challenge is particularly evident in understanding the functional relationships among plant parts. Although previous studies have reported the potential of tactile and audio media, research that uses learning obstacles as the basis for developing didactical designs to guide students’ learning trajectories remains limited. This study aims to develop a haptic-audio-based didactical design to address learning obstacles in understanding the functional concepts of plants. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using the Didactical Design Research (DDR) method. The participant was a sixth-grade visually impaired student at SKh Negeri 01 Serang City. Data were collected through an initial diagnostic test, classroom observations, teacher interviews, field notes, and a final concept mastery test. Data were analyzed through prospective, metapedadidactical, and retrospective stages. The findings indicate that the main learning obstacle was not the recognition of plant structures through tactile exploration, but the difficulty in connecting these structures with their biological functions. The implementation of haptic-audio media, supported by repeated tactile exploration, audio narration, and teacher prompting, helped the student gradually develop an understanding of structure-function relationships. Retrospective analysis resulted in an empirical didactical design that integrates multisensory experiences with adaptive pedagogical support. This study contributes a learning trajectory-based design for more accessible IPAS learning and provides practical guidance for integrating haptic-audio media into inclusive instruction.

From Policy to Practice: A CIPP Evaluation of Inclusive Vocational Education for Students with Disabilities in Indonesia

Tiya Dirmayani — 2026-09-21

Inclusive vocational education for students with disabilities remains systematically underexamined in program evaluation scholarship, particularly within low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts where institutional capacity and regulatory frameworks are still evolving. This study evaluates the implementation of an inclusive education program at SMKN 2 Malang, Indonesia's longest-established inclusive vocational secondary school, using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed, combining validated Likert-scale questionnaires administered to all pedagogical stakeholders (n = 26) with in-depth interviews, focus group discussion, online interviews, classroom observation, and document analysis. All four CIPP components were rated as "good," yet cross-component analysis revealed a pattern termed functional inclusion with structural fragility: meaningful social and vocational gains were produced through individual commitment rather than institutionalised systems. Critical gaps include the absence of formalised school-level operational guidelines, unstructured special needs teacher-teacher collaboration, non-standardised adaptive assessment instruments, and unsystematic school-to-work transition support. Recommendations are staged across three implementation horizons. The adapted CIPP framework and the proposed typology offer replicable tools for inclusive TVET evaluation in comparable LMIC settings.

Improving Students’ Vocabulary Acquisition Using Kahoot, Quizizz, And Quizlet

Agna Plasela Rosa De Vina1a — 2026-09-21

The aim of this study was to improve students' vocabulary acquisition through the integrated implementation of Kahoot, Quizizz, and Quizlet, operationalized as a Three-Stage Vocabulary Learning Model. In this model, Kahoot supports the engagement and noticing stage, Quizizz facilitates retrieval practice, and Quizlet strengthens long-term vocabulary retention through spaced repetition. The participants of this study were 28 Tenth-grade students at SMA Kristen Abdiwacana Pontianak in the academic year 2025/2026. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. Data were collected through observation checklists, field notes, and vocabulary tests, and were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings indicated that the integrated implementation of the Three-Stage Vocabulary Learning Model contributed positively to students' vocabulary acquisition. In Cycle 1, which included a three-meeting diagnostic phase using conventional instruction followed by a first introduction to the digital model in Meeting 4, only 7 out of 28 students (25%) achieved the minimum passing grade of (75), and the class mean score was 60.07, which remained below the expected standard. Based on the reflection findings from Cycle 1, two instructional improvements were made for Cycle 2: extended vocabulary contextualisation during the Kahoot phase and a guided demonstration of Quizlet's Learn mode. In Cycle 2, a considerable improvement was observed, as 22 out of 28 students (79%) achieved the passing grade and the class mean score increased to 78.71. In addition, observable improvements in students' classroom participation and on-task behaviour were documented through observation checklists and field notes across both cycles. It can be concluded that the integrated implementation of Kahoot, Quizizz, and Quizlet within a Three-Stage Vocabulary Learning Model was effective in improving students' vocabulary acquisition and in creating a more active and participatory learning environment, as evidenced by both the vocabulary test results and the qualitative classroom observations.

Challenges and Barriers in Learning Mahārah al-Kalām among Non-Pesantren Alumni Students of the Arabic Language Education Study Program at IAIN Ternate

Rifan Basahona — 2026-09-21

This study examines the linguistic challenges and systemic barriers in learning mahārah al-kalām (Arabic speaking skill) among non-pesantren alumni students in the Arabic Language Education Study Program at IAIN Ternate, and distinguishes conceptually between the two as a basis for targeted intervention. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation study involving 17 informants (13 students, 3 lecturers, and 1 study program coordinator), analyzed with the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings show, first, that linguistic challenges are inherent and compounding: limited mufradāt mastery, stemming from the absence of prior Arabic foundations, combines with the complexity of nahwu-sharaf, which, through a monitor overuse mechanism, paradoxically inhibits spontaneous oral production. Second, systemic barriers comprise three mutually reinforcing dimensions: psychological barriers in the form of foreign language anxiety socially constructed through social comparison pressure in mixed classrooms; pedagogical barriers stemming from a disproportionate curriculum; and sociocultural barriers marked by the absence of an Arabic-speaking ecosystem. This study contributes a conceptual distinction between linguistic challenges and systemic barriers, identifies social comparison pressure as a new dimension of foreign language anxiety in Islamic higher education, and fills a geographic gap in Indonesian Arabic education literature that has thus far been centered on the western and central regions of the country.

Judicial Considerations in Marriage Dispensation Cases at the Donggala Religious Court: Implications for Adolescent Character Formation and Legal Literacy

Agus Setiawan — 2026-09-21

Legal literacy plays an important role in equipping adolescents with legal knowledge, awareness of consequences, and the ability to make responsible decisions, particularly in relation to interpersonal relationships and marriage. Marriage dispensation cases provide an empirical context for identifying adolescent needs related to responsibility, self-control, psychological readiness, legal awareness, and decision-making. This study aims to analyze the character and legal literacy dimensions reflected in judicial considerations in marriage dispensation cases at the Donggala Religious Court. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through interviews with a judge and a court clerk, supported by documentation of 45 marriage dispensation cases registered between 2024 and September 2026. The findings reveal that cases involving pregnancy before marriage and highly intimate romantic relationships reflect the need to strengthen responsibility, self-control, psychological readiness, awareness of consequences, and mature decision-making among adolescents. Judicial considerations also highlight legal literacy concerning the minimum marriage age, marriage dispensation, rights and obligations, and child protection. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening adolescent legal literacy as a preventive approach through schools, families, religious institutions, and communities.

Japanese Work Culture as a Framework for Vocational Education: A Literature Review

Ranu Iskandar — 2026-09-21

Vocational education is expected to develop not only technical competencies but also a work culture encompassing discipline, quality, safety, problem solving, and continuous improvement. This study aimed to identify and synthesize relevant Japanese work-culture concepts and develop a framework for their application in vocational education. A systematic literature review using a descriptive qualitative synthesis was conducted. Literature was retrieved primarily through Google Scholar using inclusion criteria covering peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2010 and 2026 that addressed 9S, Kaizen, Gemba, Kanban, Poka-Yoke, Muda, Jidoka, Andon, Heijunka, Takt Time, Hoshin Kanri, or Genchi Genbutsu. The selected literature was analyzed according to meaning, purpose, typical tools, implementation examples, involvement level, impact area, and benefits. The synthesis generated a four-layer Japanese Work Culture Framework for Vocational Education: Work Culture Foundation (9S and Kaizen); Evidence-Based Problem Solving and Built-in Quality (Gemba, Genchi Genbutsu, Muda, Poka-Yoke, Jidoka, and Andon); Work and Production Flow (Kanban, Heijunka, and Takt Time); and Strategic Alignment (Hoshin Kanri). The framework demonstrates that Japanese work-culture principles can be pedagogically adapted to strengthen work culture, evidence-based problem solving, quality, workflow management, and strategic alignment in vocational education.

Developing Pastry Vocational Learning Videos for Students with Mild Intellectual Disabilities

Tri Murhanjati Sholihah — 2026-09-21

This study developed and evaluated a pastry vocational-skills learning video for students with mild intellectual disabilities. The research used a Research and Development approach organized through the ADDIE stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The product reported in the main study was a 5-minute-54-second chocochips-cookie learning video designed with simple language, strong visual cues, repeated explanations, clear audio, subtitles, and practical demonstrations. Product validation involved one material expert and one media expert; limited evaluation involved 10 culinary teachers, while student responses were collected from 20 learners. The material expert produced a mean score of 3.7 and the media expert 3.8, both above the report's >3.4 threshold for the very-feasible category. All 30 teacher-questionnaire items were reported valid against an r-table value of 0.532, and reliability reached Cronbach's alpha = 0.982. Student-response scores ranged from 81 to 104, with a mean of 91.00 and a standard deviation of 6.61; the largest category reported in the source was feasible. Classroom implementation also showed that students were attentive to the video and could recall its sequence with teacher prompting during pastry practice. The findings support a visually explicit, repetitive, practice-oriented learning video as a feasible vocational-learning medium within the context studied.

Perceived Need for Green Open Space Mediates Biological Literacy and Critical-Thinking’s Influence on Pro-Environmental Youth Activism

Ahmad Sulaiman — 2026-09-21

Environmental degradation in Indonesia has intensified calls for youth-led environmental activism, yet the mechanisms translating students' scientific knowledge and thinking dispositions into civic action remain underexamined. This study proposes a mediation model in which biological literacy and critical thinking disposition predict environmental youth activism through perceived need for green open space. Using data (N = 230) of Muslim university students aged 17-23, domiciled in Malang, East Java, but originating from diverse Indonesian regions, the data satisfied assumptions of normality, non-multicollinearity, and homoscedasticity. Bootstrapped mediation analyses (5,000 resamples) showed that biological literacy and critical thinking disposition both significantly predicted perceived need for green open space, which significantly predicted activism; indirect effects were significant for both predictors, with near-full mediation for biological literacy and partial mediation for critical thinking disposition. Findings offer a theory-grounded, testable framework linking cognitive-epistemic resources, green-space appraisal, and civic environmentalism among Indonesian Muslim youth.

Modeling Teachers’ Intention to Adopt Ruang GTK: An Extended UMEGA Approach

Okty Ihwanti — 2026-09-21

This study investigated the factors influencing the adoption of the Teacher and Education Personnel Room (GTK Room) platform by teachers and education staff at SMK Negeri 1 Karanganyar, Purbalingga Regency. In this study, the Unified Model of Electronic Government Adoption (UMEGA) model was used. UMEGA was developed by integrating the variables of beliefs and habits into its initial constructs. These variables include performance expectations, effort expectations, social influences, facilitating conditions, risk perception, and attitudes toward behavioral intent. Using saturated sampling techniques, a quantitative approach was used to collect data from 76 participants through interviews, observations, literature research, and questionnaires. The data were then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3 using out-of-model testing (validity and reliability), in-model testing (suitability and R-Square), and hypothesis testing via Bootstrapping. The results of the study showed that the nine hypotheses proposed were accepted in their entirety. They are as follows: Performance Forecasting, Effort Forecasting, Social Influence, and Risk Perception affect Attitude Perception. Situation Easing affects Estimated Effort and Goal Behavior. In addition, Perception, Beliefs, and Lifestyle influence Purpose Behavior. The results show that the following factors influence teachers' willingness to adopt GTK Spaces: technical ease, social support, perception of security, user trust, and habits. These factors also provide practical implications for strengthening the digital transformation of education.

Human Dignity Value Education as an Effort to Prevent Human Trafficking in the Parish of Hati Tersuci Maria Oe-Ekam, South Central Timor

Gerardus B. Duka — 2026-09-22

Abstract:

Human trafficking continues to threaten human dignity in South Central Timor, East Nusa Tenggara, where poverty, limited education, and migration pressures increase vulnerability. The Catholic Church, through its parishes, has assumed a frontline preventive role. This study examines the implementation of human dignity value education as an effort to prevent human trafficking in the Parish of Hati Tersuci Maria Oe-Ekam, South Central Timor. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from January to June 2026 through semi-structured interviews with sixteen informants including the parish priest, catechists, youth leaders, and community members; participant observation; and document analysis. Data were analyzed thematically. The findings show that human dignity education is integrated into catechesis, liturgical homilies, and community-based organic farming training. This approach has raised awareness of trafficking modus operandi and strengthened community vigilance, particularly among youth. However, challenges remain: the absence of a standardized anti-trafficking curriculum, ad hoc coordination with government agencies, and persistent economic vulnerability that drives migration. The study concludes that faith-based value education grounded in Catholic social teaching offers a culturally resonant and community-embedded preventive mechanism. It recommends institutionalizing anti-trafficking modules in parish catechesis, strengthening inter-institutional collaboration, and expanding livelihood programs to address structural drivers of trafficking.

Graciana Amanda Bele — 2026-09-22

The ecological crisis affecting various regions in Indonesia, including Belu Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT), requires an approach that is not only technical but also touches the spiritual and cultural dimensions of society. This study aims to analyze the implementation of ecotheological education in building environmental awareness and social harmony in the community of Manumutin Urban Village, Kota Atambua District, Belu Regency. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show that: (1) ecotheological education in Manumutin Urban Village is implemented through the integration of religious values with environmental management practices, such as communal work cleaning waste and tree planting; (2) the ecotheological approach is proven effective in changing the community’s mindset from anthropocentric to ecocentric, although it still faces challenges in the form of low awareness among some residents in disposing of waste in its proper place; (3) there is a positive correlation between strengthening ecological awareness and strengthening social harmony, where ecotheology-based activities become a space for interfaith and interethnic interaction that strengthens social solidarity. This study concludes that ecotheological education is a strategic strategy in responding to the environmental crisis while strengthening the social cohesion of communities in border areas.

The Effect Of Breadfruit Flour Substitution On The Quality Of Marble Cake: Family Welfare Education

Kamila Raufa — 2026-09-24

The use of local food resources as an alternative to wheat flour represents an effort to promote food diversification. Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis) is a local food commodity that can be processed into flour and utilized as a partial substitute for wheat flour in pastry products, including marble cake. This study was conducted to determine the effect of breadfruit flour substitution at levels of 0%, 15%, 30%, and 45% on the sensory quality of marble cake, covering shape, color, aroma, texture, and taste. The research was carried out at the Culinary Workshop of Universitas Negeri Padang using a quantitative approach and a true experimental design with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), comprising four treatments and three replications. Data were collected through organoleptic testing involving five trained panelists and analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a 5% significance level. The findings indicated that breadfruit flour substitution at 0%, 15%, 30%, and 45% did not produce a significant effect on the shape, color, aroma, texture, or taste of the marble cake, as the calculated F-values for all observed attributes were below the critical F-value of 3.49. These findings indicate that breadfruit flour can be utilized as a partial substitute for wheat flour at levels of up to 45% in marble cake production without resulting in statistically significant changes in sensory quality.
