Bibliometric Mapping of Technology Acceptance Model and Electronic Service Quality Research: The Position of Digital Public Services

2026-07-23T17:25:57+08:00

Digital transformation has established the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Electronic Service Quality (E-S-QUAL) framework as prominent theoretical perspectives for explaining technology adoption and digital service performance; however, the position of digital public service within this research landscape remains empirically unclear. This study maps the relative position of digital public service within the intellectual structure of TAM and E-S-QUAL research. A bibliometric approach was applied to 1,000 documents published between 2016 and 2026 and retrieved from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish using the keywords “Technology Acceptance Model,” “Electronic Service Quality,” “Digital Public Service,” “Perceived Usefulness,” and “Perceived Ease of Use.” The data were analyzed using VOSviewer 1.6.21 through bibliometric network mapping, yielding 211 keyword items across eight clusters, 6,468 links, and a total link strength of 25,815. The findings demonstrate that digital public service occupies a peripheral position within the broader TAM and E-S-QUAL research landscape. Public-sector terms, including “public administration,” “e-government,” and “citizen,” were substantially less prominent than commercial constructs such as “usefulness” and “mobile banking” and education-related terms such as “higher education.” This thematic imbalance indicates that public administration has not yet become a central domain within technology acceptance research despite the rapid expansion of digital government initiatives. The study contributes a bibliometric overview of the underrepresentation of digital public service in TAM and E-S-QUAL scholarship and identifies opportunities to extend these frameworks toward digital governance, citizen-centered service design, and public trust.

Bibliometric Mapping of Public Trust in the Free Nutritious Meal Program

2026-07-23T17:32:47+08:00

Public trust is essential to the effective evaluation, legitimacy, and continuous improvement of the Free Nutritious Meal Program. Although research on government programs has expanded, bibliometric evidence concerning the position of public trust within the scientific literature on this program remains limited. This study maps the bibliometric landscape, thematic structure, and relative position of public trust in studies related to the Free Nutritious Meal Program published between 2016 and 2026. A descriptive quantitative approach employing bibliometric methods was used. Data were retrieved from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish using the keywords “public trust,” “government program,” “free nutritious meal program,” and “social media.” A total of 995 documents meeting the established inclusion criteria were exported in RIS format and analyzed using VOSviewer through network, overlay, and density visualizations. The findings reveal that the bibliometric network comprised 112 items distributed across eight clusters, interconnected by 1,941 links with a total link strength of 5,520. The dominant keywords were public trust, government, social media, and health, indicating that existing scholarship has primarily examined public trust in relation to governance, digital communication, and public health. By contrast, research specifically addressing public trust in the Free Nutritious Meal Program remains underdeveloped. These findings demonstrate a clear thematic gap and highlight the need for further investigation into the determinants, formation, and consequences of public trust in the program. This study contributes a systematic overview of the field and provides a foundation for future research on government communication, program legitimacy, and public perceptions of nutrition-related social policies.

Bibliometric Mapping of Flash Flood and Emergency Response Research: The Position of Public Response

2026-07-23T17:38:05+08:00

Public response to emergency measures is critical to the effectiveness of flash flood disaster management because these events occur suddenly and provide only a limited warning period. Although research on disaster emergency response has expanded, bibliometric evidence concerning the position of public response within the scientific literature on flash floods remains limited. This study maps the thematic structure and relative position of public response in flash flood and emergency response research. A quantitative bibliometric approach was employed using 991 documents retrieved from Google Scholar through a Boolean search for “flash flood,” “public response,” and “emergency response” in article titles, abstracts, and keywords. The documents were exported in CSV format and analyzed using VOSviewer 1.6.21 through network and density visualizations. The findings indicate that “flash flood” was closely connected to the core themes of emergency response, including disaster, case study, emergency service, disaster management, policy, landslide, and disaster risk reduction, with 63 occurrences, 141 links, and a total link strength of 395. By contrast, “public response” occupied a peripheral position and displayed substantially weaker connections within the network. Density visualization further showed that the most concentrated research areas surrounded the terms “disaster” and “policy,” whereas “flash flood” was positioned at the boundary of this high-density area. The separate clustering of “flash flood” and “flash flooding” also indicates terminological inconsistency across the analyzed literature. These findings demonstrate that flash flood research remains dominated by operational, institutional, and policy-oriented dimensions of emergency response, while public responses to emergency directives remain underexplored. This study contributes to the identification of thematic gaps and highlights the need for standardized terminology and further research on how communities interpret and respond to emergency instructions during flash flood events.

Pengaruh Kualitas Pelayanan Publik dan Komunikasi Publik terhadap Kepuasan Masyarakat Nagari Koto Tangah Kecamatan Tilatang Kamang

2026-07-23T19:20:14+08:00

The quality of public services and effective public communication are important factors in increasing community satisfaction and strengthening trust in government institutions. However, service delivery at the nagari government level still requires continuous evaluation to ensure its alignment with community needs and expectations. This study aims to analyze the effects of public service quality and public communication on community satisfaction in Nagari Koto Tangah, Tilatang Kamang Subdistrict. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to community members and analyzed using multiple linear regression, partial tests (t-tests), simultaneous tests (F-tests), and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that public service quality had a positive and significant effect on community satisfaction, with a t-value of 32.380 and p < 0.001. Public communication also had a positive and significant effect on community satisfaction, with a t-value of 30.697 and p < 0.001. Simultaneously, public service quality and public communication had a significant effect on community satisfaction, with an F-value of 563.899 and p < 0.001. The adjusted R-squared value of 0.753 indicates that the two variables explained 75.3% of the variation in community satisfaction, while the remaining 24.7% was influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings confirm that improving service quality, supported by transparent, responsive, and effective public communication, is an important factor in increasing community satisfaction with nagari government services. Practically, the findings can serve as a basis for the Nagari Koto Tangah Government to continuously improve its service standards and public communication strategies.

Analisis Gaya Bahasa Sarkasme dan Satire dalam Novel “Orang-Orang Oetimu” Karya Felix K. Nesi

2026-07-24T07:33:04+08:00

Sarcasm and satire in literary works serve as means of conveying social criticism with contextual and profound meanings. This study aims to describe the forms of sarcasm and satire and to reveal the meanings contained in the novel Orang-Orang Oetimu by Felix K. Nesi. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a stylistic approach. The research data consisted of words, phrases, sentences, and dialogues containing sarcasm and satire. The data were collected through critical reading, coding, and note-taking and were then analyzed by identifying, classifying, and interpreting their meanings based on the context of the story. The results revealed 27 instances of sarcasm and 11 instances of satire. Sarcasm was used to express anger, insult, disappointment, and criticism directly through harsh and sharp words. Meanwhile, satire was used to convey indirect social criticism of social, political, moral, and societal behavioral issues. The findings showed that sarcasm was used more dominantly than satire. In addition, the use of local terms from Timorese communities strengthened the linguistic characteristics and the expression of criticism in the novel. This study confirms that figurative language in Orang-Orang Oetimu functions not only as an aesthetic element but also as a medium of social criticism and meaning construction. These findings contribute to the development of stylistic studies and literary analysis, particularly in understanding the functions of sarcasm and satire in representing social realities.

Penerapan Intervensi "Pelangi Emosi" Berbasis Seni dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Regulasi Emosi Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus di Panti Asuhan X

2026-07-24T07:48:43+08:00

Emotion regulation is an individual’s ability to control behaviors that are inconsistent with the emotions experienced and to manage oneself so as not to depend on either negative or positive moods. Based on observations and interviews conducted during the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Program at Orphanage X, children with special needs exhibited various emotional challenges, such as tantrums, impulsive behavior, and difficulties expressing emotions. This study aims to develop and evaluate an activity-based intervention module to improve the emotion regulation abilities of children with special needs at Orphanage X. The study employed a research and development method comprising the stages of needs analysis, design, trial, and evaluation. The intervention module integrates collective painting activities, educational games, video presentations, and emotion activity sheets designed for easy implementation by caregivers. The results of the module implementation showed improvements in the children’s ability to recognize emotions, a reduction in negative emotional responses, and increased social participation. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of collective art activities as a medium for emotion regulation, systematically organized and adapted to the characteristics of the children at Orphanage X. This study provides a practical contribution in the form of an original and applicable intervention module to support caregivers in facilitating the emotional and social development of children with special needs.

Analisis Deiksis Eksofora dalam Novel “Bulan Patah” Karya Maria Matildis Banda

2026-07-24T07:57:56+08:00

Pragmatic studies, particularly exophoric deixis, are important for understanding the meanings of utterances that refer to contexts outside the text in literary works. The novel Bulan Patah by Maria Matildis Banda contains various forms of exophoric deixis that contribute to constructing meaning and clarifying the relationships among characters, time, place, and social situations in the story. This study aims to describe the use of exophoric deixis in the novel Bulan Patah by Maria Matildis Banda. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach based on Bambang Kaswanti Purwo’s theory of deixis. The data source was the novel Bulan Patah, while the data consisted of words, sentences, and paragraphs containing exophoric deixis. The data were collected through a literature review and coding cards and were then analyzed by identifying and classifying the forms of deixis based on the context of the utterances. The results showed that exophoric deixis in the novel included person, place, time, and social deixis. A total of 929 instances of person deixis, 57 instances of place deixis, 106 instances of time deixis, and 652 instances of social deixis were identified. The use of these forms of deixis functions as a referential marker whose interpretation depends on the context of the speech situation, including the speaker, interlocutor, time, place, and social relationships. These findings confirm that exophoric deixis helps readers understand the meanings of utterances more accurately while clarifying the relationships among characters, spatial and temporal settings, and social situations in the novel. This study contributes to the development of pragmatic studies and can be used as a research reference and teaching material in Indonesian language and literature education.

Analisis Gaya Bahasa dalam Kumpulan Cerita Rakyat Adonara

2026-07-24T08:12:08+08:00

Adonara folktales are an oral literary heritage containing cultural, moral, and social values passed down from generation to generation. However, studies on figurative language in Adonara folktales remain limited because previous research has focused primarily on themes and moral values. This study aims to analyze the types of figurative language and the meanings contained in a collection of Adonara folktales through a stylistic approach. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a stylistic approach. The data sources were the book Kumpulan Cerita Rakyat Adonara and accounts provided by informants, while the research data consisted of words, phrases, and quotations containing figurative language. The data were collected through documentation and interviews, with informants selected using purposive sampling, and were subsequently analyzed descriptively based on stylistic theory. The results showed that three folktales, namely Asal Usul Lamawolo, Asal Mula Waikebo, and Kwewa Wu’u, contained repetition, personification, symbolism, enumeration, allonym, bombast, euphemism, and metaphor, which belonged to the categories of comparative, emphatic, and contradictory figurative language. The use of these forms of figurative language serves to enhance the aesthetic presentation of the stories, clarify meanings, create atmosphere, and convey the cultural values and moral messages of the Adonara community. These findings confirm that figurative language plays an important role in strengthening aesthetic value while representing the cultural identity and local wisdom of the Adonara community. This study contributes to the development of stylistic studies on regional literature and encourages greater appreciation and preservation of folktales as part of the nation’s cultural heritage.

Alienasi Perempuan pada Novel Pasola Karya Maria Matildis Banda (Pendekatan Psikologi Sastra)

2026-07-24T08:22:16+08:00

The novel Pasola by Maria Matildis Banda represents the lives of women who experience various forms of alienation due to patriarchal culture, social norms, and traditions that restrict their freedom. This study aims to describe the forms, causal factors, and impacts of alienation experienced by the female characters in the novel. The study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method and a literary psychology perspective based on Erich Fromm’s theory of alienation. The data source was the novel Pasola, while the data consisted of textual passages representing female alienation. The data were collected through documentation and coding techniques and were then analyzed through the stages of identification, classification, and interpretation. The results revealed 31 instances encompassing two forms of alienation, four causal factors, and four impacts of alienation. The forms of alienation consisted of alienation from oneself (self-alienation) and social alienation. The factors causing alienation included transcendence, rootedness, relatedness, and frame of orientation and devotion. The impacts of alienation included self-alienation, stress, anxiety and depression, superficial social relationships, and the loss of autonomy and creativity. These findings indicate that the female characters in the novel experience alienation due to the dominance of social systems and patriarchal culture that restrict their freedom, identity formation, and social relationships. This study contributes to the development of literary psychology studies, particularly the application of Erich Fromm’s theory of alienation, and enriches the understanding of the representation of women’s psychological experiences in Indonesian literary works.

Pengembangan dan Inovasi Kurikulum di TPA/MDA dalam Menghadapi Tantangan Era Digital

2026-07-24T08:33:59+08:00

Qur’anic Education Centers (TPA) and Madrasah Diniyah Awaliyah (MDA) are non-formal Islamic educational institutions that play an important role in shaping character, instilling Islamic values, and developing school-age children’s ability to read the Qur’an. However, developments in information technology, globalization, and social change require curriculum renewal to ensure that TPA/MDA education remains relevant to students’ needs. This study aims to analyze the concept of TPA/MDA curriculum development, the urgency of curriculum innovation, the forms of innovation that can be implemented, and the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. This study employed a library research method by examining books, scientific journal articles, educational regulations, and relevant previous studies. The results show that TPA/MDA curriculum development needs to be implemented systematically through the stages of planning, implementation, evaluation, and continuous development. Curriculum innovation can be realized through the integration of character education, digital literacy, project-based learning, experiential learning, the strengthening of religious moderation, and the use of digital technology in the learning process. The implementation of an innovative curriculum is supported by teacher competence, the availability of facilities and infrastructure, parental involvement, and the commitment of institutional administrators, whereas limitations in these aspects may hinder its implementation. This study confirms that collaboration among all stakeholders is necessary to develop a TPA/MDA curriculum that is adaptive and relevant to the needs of twenty-first-century students without neglecting Islamic values as the primary foundation of education. These findings contribute to the conceptual development of the curriculum for non-formal Islamic education and provide practical guidance for TPA/MDA administrators in designing contextual and sustainable learning innovations.

2026-07-24T08:45:02+08:00

Educational cost management is an important component of educational management because it determines the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and accountability of educational provision. However, the implementation of educational cost oversight and accountability still faces various constraints that may affect the quality of educational financial governance. This study aims to analyze the implementation of educational cost oversight and accountability from an educational management perspective and to identify the factors influencing its effectiveness. The study employed a library research method with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained by reviewing books, scientific journal articles, regulations, and documents relevant to educational financial management and were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the effectiveness of educational cost oversight is influenced by internal control systems, the competence of financial managers, stakeholder participation, and the use of information technology. Educational cost accountability is realized through the preparation of transparent and accurate financial reports that are accessible to interested parties. The application of transparency and accountability principles can increase public trust and promote the efficient use of educational budgets. This study confirms that strengthening financial oversight and accountability systems needs to be positioned as an integral part of good educational governance. These findings contribute to the development of educational financial management studies and provide practical implications for educational institutions in improving the quality of budgetary control, reporting, and responsible use.

This performance was supported by stakeholder involvement and the availability of regulations and technical guidelines but still faced obstacles in the form of local political dynamics, time constraints, and the complexity of the Pilkada stages. The findings also indicate the need for improvements in administrative verification, public communication, and interinstitutional coordination. This study confirms that strengthening institutional capacity and coordination among election administrators is necessary to improve the professionalism, integrity, and quality of future Pilkada implementation.

Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Peralihan Gaya Hidup Punk di Kalangan Remaja di Bukittinggi

2026-07-27T19:30:37+08:00

Although the phenomenon of the punk lifestyle among adolescents has been widely studied, research specifically analyzing the factors influencing adolescents’ transition to a punk lifestyle in Bukittinggi City remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the internal and external factors influencing the transition to a punk lifestyle among adolescents in Bukittinggi City. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design and involved 10 informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and were subsequently analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which comprises data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that the transition to a punk lifestyle was influenced by internal factors, including the search for self-identity, the need for freedom of expression, and the desire to gain social acceptance. External factors included disharmonious family conditions, limited parental attention, peer influence, the social environment, and economic conditions as a supporting factor. These findings confirm that the transition to a punk lifestyle results from the interaction between individual psychological factors and the social environment. This study contributes to the development of Alfred Adler’s style of life theory in explaining adolescent behavior and broadens the understanding of the psychological and social dynamics underlying adolescents’ involvement in punk communities. The implications of this study include theoretical contributions to social psychology and guidance and counseling studies, as well as practical implications for families, schools, and the government in designing adolescent development programs responsive to their psychological and social needs. Future research is recommended to expand the geographical scope and employ a mixed-methods approach.

Strategi Pondok Pesantren Bai’aturridhwan Bukittinggi dalam Mengatasi Dampak Negatif Budaya Digital pada Santri

2026-07-27T19:44:00+08:00

Although the negative impacts of digital culture on the character and behavior of santri have been widely studied, research specifically analyzing Islamic boarding schools’ strategies for managing and addressing these impacts, particularly at Pondok Pesantren Bai’aturridhwan Bukittinggi, remains relatively limited. This study aimed to analyze the strategies implemented by the Islamic boarding school to address the negative impacts of digital culture on santri, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting their implementation, and explain the contribution of these strategies to the character development of santri. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Informants were selected through purposive sampling and included the head of the Islamic boarding school, teachers, dormitory supervisors, and santri directly involved in the implementation of the development programs. Data were collected through observation, semistructured interviews, and documentation and were subsequently analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which comprises data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that Pondok Pesantren Bai’aturridhwan Bukittinggi implemented preventive and educational strategies through restrictions on device use, supervision of santri activities, enforcement of regulations, moral education, teacher role modeling, habituation of religious practices, and the strengthening of digital literacy based on Islamic values. The success of these strategies was supported by the commitment of the leadership, cooperation among all elements of the Islamic boarding school, and a religious environment, whereas barriers to their implementation included rapid technological development, the influence of the external environment, and the diverse characteristics of the santri. These findings confirm that the integration of supervision, religious habituation, role modeling, and digital literacy based on Islamic values contributes to the character development of santri in confronting digital culture. This study strengthens the application of character education theory and strategic management in the context of Islamic education and provides practical implications for Islamic boarding schools in formulating santri development policies that are adaptive to advances in digital technology.

Trauma Psikologis dalam Novel Namaku Alam Karya Leila Salikha Chudori (Pendekatan Psikologi Sastra)

2026-07-28T08:19:15+08:00

The representation of psychological trauma in literary works is important to examine in order to understand the effects of political violence, social stigma, discrimination, and intergenerational trauma on individuals’ lives. This study aimed to describe the forms of psychological trauma experienced by the characters in the novel Namaku Alam by Leila Salikha Chudori and identify the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the character Segara Alam. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a literary psychology approach. The data source was the novel Namaku Alam, published by Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia. Data were collected using reading and note-taking techniques and subsequently analyzed through the stages of identification, classification, interpretation, and validation based on psychological trauma theory and the PTSD criteria in the DSM-5-TR published by the American Psychiatric Association. The results showed that the psychological trauma experienced by the characters included interpersonal trauma and attachment trauma. Interpersonal trauma was experienced by the characters Ibu, Segara Alam, Bimo, and Kenanga as a result of violence, intimidation, loss, and sociopolitical pressure. Attachment trauma was experienced by Om Aji, Bimo, and Kenanga as a result of disrupted emotional relationships with family members and significant others due to political stigma and family separation. Segara Alam also exhibited PTSD symptoms comprising intrusion, avoidance, negative alterations in cognition and mood, and alterations in arousal and reactivity. These findings confirm that the political violence of 1965 not only caused individual psychological trauma but also affected family relationships and generated intergenerational trauma. This study contributes to the development of literary psychology studies and broadens the understanding of representations of the psychological impacts of political violence and intergenerational trauma in literary works.

Hubungan Self-Control dan Celebrity Worship pada Generasi Z Penggemar K-POP

2026-07-28T08:46:03+08:00

The development of Korean Pop (K-Pop) through social media and fan communities has encouraged Generation Z to engage in various fan club activities. Although such involvement can provide entertainment, social support, and a space for identity formation, excessive idolization may develop into celebrity worship; therefore, self-control is necessary to ensure that fan engagement remains adaptive. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-control and celebrity worship among Generation Z K-Pop fans. The study employed a nonexperimental quantitative approach with a correlational design and involved 163 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the 10-item Brief Self-Control Scale, with a reliability coefficient of α = 0.749, and the 25-item Celebrity Attitude Scale, with a reliability coefficient of α = 0.896. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation after the assumption of normality had been met. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between self-control and celebrity worship (r = 0.522; p < 0.001). These findings indicate that high self-control does not necessarily reduce fans’ involvement with their idols but instead supports the more planned, proportionate, and healthy management of fan club activities, including the regulation of time, expenditure, and emotional responses. Conversely, limited self-control may lead to more impulsive and less structured fan activities. This study confirms that celebrity worship is a multidimensional phenomenon that is not necessarily maladaptive when balanced by strong self-control. These findings contribute to the development of social psychology research on fan behavior and provide practical implications regarding the importance of strengthening self-control among Generation Z so that their involvement in fan activities continues to provide psychological and social benefits without disrupting daily functioning.

Metode Guru dalam Pembinaan Nilai-Nilai Akhlak Siswa melalui Shalat Zuhur Berjamaah di SMP Negeri 1 Kecamatan Jujuhan Ilir Kabupaten Bungo

2026-07-28T08:56:05+08:00

The cultivation of students’ moral values through the implementation of congregational Dhuhr prayers at school continues to face various challenges, including low student discipline, suboptimal teacher guidance methods, inconsistent supervision, and the influence of the environment and technological developments. This study aimed to analyze the methods used by teachers to cultivate moral values through congregational Dhuhr prayers, identify the moral values instilled, and examine the supporting and inhibiting factors in their implementation at SMP Negeri 1 Jujuhan Ilir Subdistrict, Bungo Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The research informants consisted of Islamic Religious Education teachers, the school principal, and students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and were subsequently analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data trustworthiness was established using source and method triangulation. The results showed that teachers applied the methods of habituation, role modeling, advice, rewards, punishment, supervision, and evaluation in cultivating students’ moral character. The moral values instilled included discipline, responsibility, religiosity, politeness, and social concern. The implementation of moral development was supported by the roles of teachers and families and the availability of school facilities and infrastructure, whereas the inhibiting factors included low student awareness, suboptimal supervision, limited facilities, environmental influences, and technological developments. These findings confirm that moral development through congregational Dhuhr prayers has been implemented effectively but requires consistency in applying the methods and synergy among the school, teachers, families, and the surrounding environment. This study contributes to the development of research on character education based on religious habituation and provides practical implications for schools in strengthening teacher supervision and collaboration with parents to optimize students’ moral development.

Beyond the Textbook: Komik AR Synergia dan Transformasi Pembelajaran Sumber Energi di Kelas V SD

2026-07-29T09:13:25+08:00

The dominance of teacher-centered instruction and the limited use of interactive media constitute barriers to improving students’ learning outcomes in abstract Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) content. This condition was evident among fifth-grade students at SDN Gondang 1, Bojonegoro Regency, only 48.3% of whom achieved learning mastery based on the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria (KKTP) score of 73 for energy sources content. This study aimed to develop the Augmented Reality (AR)-based SYNERGIA Comic and analyze its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving fifth-grade students’ learning outcomes in energy sources content. The study employed a research and development method using the 4D model, which comprised the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages, and was conducted at SDN Gondang 1 from February to July 2026. Product validation involved two validators, namely a subject matter expert and a media expert. Product trials were conducted through a limited trial involving 10 students and an extensive trial involving 24 students. Validity and practicality data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 10 statement items, whereas media effectiveness was analyzed using N-gain scores. The results showed that the media achieved a subject matter validity level of 90% and a media validity level of 88%, both of which were categorized as highly valid. The practicality level reached 98% based on the teacher’s assessment, 94% based on students’ responses in the limited trial, and 97.08% in the extensive trial, all of which were categorized as highly practical. The mean N-gain score reached 0.91 in the limited trial and 0.80 in the extensive trial, both of which were categorized as highly effective, with classical mastery of 100% at both testing stages. Thus, the AR-based SYNERGIA Comic was declared valid, practical, and highly effective as an IPAS learning medium for energy sources content. These findings contribute to the development of technology-based learning in elementary schools and provide teachers with a practical alternative for helping students understand abstract scientific concepts within the context of the Kurikulum Merdeka.

Efektivitas Pengelolaan Badan Usaha Milik Nagari Karya Anak Nagari dalam Meningkatkan Pendapatan Nagari di Nagari Pinaga Aua Kuniang Kabupaten Pasaman Barat

2026-07-29T09:22:11+08:00

Nagari-Owned Enterprises (BUMNag) were established as instruments to optimize the economic potential of nagari and increase Nagari Own-Source Revenue in accordance with Government Regulation Number 11 of 2021. However, the management of the laying-hen farming business unit operated by BUMNag Karya Anak Nagari in Nagari Pinaga Aua Kuniang, West Pasaman Regency, has faced declining egg sizes, rising feed costs, and fluctuating profits, while previous studies have focused primarily on trading and service business units. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of BUMNag Karya Anak Nagari’s management in increasing nagari revenue and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 10 informants selected through purposive sampling, consisting of the Wali Nagari, the BUMNag Director, the farm manager, a farm worker, and six nagari residents. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation and were subsequently analyzed based on Duncan’s three effectiveness indicators in Steers, namely goal attainment, integration, and adaptation. The results showed that BUMNag management had been implemented but was not yet fully effective. The production of large eggs decreased by 30.99% from January to June 2026, whereas the proportion of small eggs increased from 12.28% to 32.74% during the same period. The business unit’s net profit also declined from IDR 7,900,000 to IDR 1,444,900, while its contribution to Nagari Own-Source Revenue remained inconsistent because it was recorded in detail for only two of the six months observed. Supporting factors included support from the nagari government, the division of responsibilities among management personnel, and strong community demand for eggs, whereas inhibiting factors included high feed costs, limited capital, and the absence of standard operating procedures for farm management. This study concluded that the effectiveness of BUMNag management needs to be improved through production cost control, capital strengthening, the development of standard operating procedures, and improvements in financial recording and contributions to Nagari Own-Source Revenue. These findings provide practical contributions to the nagari government and BUMNag management in sustainably improving the governance of livestock business units.

Efektivitas Implementasi Peraturan Wali Kota Padang Nomor 32 Tahun 2021 tentang Tata Cara Penguncian Ban, Penderekan, dan/atau Pemindahan Kendaraan Bermotor dalam Penertiban Parkir di Bahu Jalan oleh Dinas Perhubungan Kota Padang

2026-07-29T09:32:34+08:00

Illegal parking on road shoulders has become an urgent problem in urban areas because high levels of traffic and commercial activity encourage the use of road shoulders, which should function as spaces for vehicle movement. Although the Padang City Government has enacted Padang Mayor Regulation Number 32 of 2021 concerning Procedures for Wheel Clamping, Towing, and/or Relocating Motor Vehicles, empirical studies on the effectiveness of its implementation remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the regulation in controlling parking on road shoulders and to identify the factors affecting its implementation. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design involving 12 informants, consisting of officials from the Padang City Transportation Agency, field enforcement officers, residents, and business operators at four enforcement locations selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and document analysis and were subsequently analyzed using an interactive model through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was strengthened through source and method triangulation. The results showed that policy implementation had been procedurally effective, as indicated by the fulfillment of five effectiveness indicators, namely policy appropriateness, implementers, targets, environment, and process. Policy implementation was also supported by adequate communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. However, enforcement outcomes were not yet optimal because parking violations continued to recur even though the number of vehicles towed decreased from 115 units in 2024 to 88 units in 2025. The main constraints included weak continuity of supervision after officers left the locations, a limited number of tow trucks, and insufficient alternative parking spaces. This study concluded that effective parking enforcement requires strengthened continuous field supervision, additional tow trucks, and the provision of adequate parking facilities. These findings contribute to the development of studies on local traffic policy implementation and provide practical recommendations for the Padang City Government to improve the sustainability and consistency of parking enforcement on road shoulders.

2026-07-29T14:36:42+08:00

The Pringgasela weaving industry constitutes both a cultural heritage and a source of livelihood for the local community. However, previous studies have tended to examine marketing, tourism, women’s empowerment, and craft sustainability separately, leaving its economic contribution as a local ecosystem insufficiently explained in an integrated manner. This study aimed to analyze the contribution of the Pringgasela weaving industry to the economy of the East Lombok community and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its sustainability. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach conducted in Pringgasela Village. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with actors involved in weaving production and development, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that the weaving industry contributed as both a primary and supplementary source of income, created household-based employment opportunities, expanded women’s economic participation, encouraged product diversification among micro, small, and medium enterprises, and connected craft production with cultural tourism. However, the sustainability of these contributions remained constrained by limited market access, competition with mass-produced textiles, uneven adoption of digital marketing, and weak artisan regeneration. This study concluded that the economic sustainability of the Pringgasela weaving industry requires stronger business institutions, cultural identity-based product innovation, optimized digital marketing, a more equitable distribution of added value, and greater youth involvement. These findings contribute to the development of studies on culture-based local economies and provide practical implications for governments, business actors, and communities in strengthening the weaving industry ecosystem sustainably.

Fenomena Kecenderungan Online Disinhibition pada Siswa Kelas XI di SMA Swasta Banuhampu

2026-07-31T15:08:14+08:00

The development of digital technology has transformed adolescents’ communication patterns and given rise to the phenomenon of online disinhibition, namely the tendency of individuals to behave more freely, boldly, and expressively in online interactions than in face-to-face interactions. This phenomenon has the potential to influence students’ social behavior, communication patterns, and interpersonal relationships. This study aims to identify the level of online disinhibition tendencies among Grade XI students at SMA Swasta Banuhampu and analyze the factors influencing them. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design involving 100 Grade XI students who were active social media users.

2026-08-05T20:40:32+08:00

Although moral education in Islam has received considerable attention in various studies, research specifically examining the quality of hadiths concerning the moral conduct of students and educators through an integrated analysis of the sanad and matan remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the quality of hadiths concerning the moral education of students and educators and to examine their relevance to contemporary Islamic education. This study employed a qualitative approach using library research focused on hadiths contained in the major hadith collections, particularly the Kutub al-Tis‘ah. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using the methods of takhrij al-hadith, naqd al-sanad, and naqd al-matan. The results showed that the principal hadith narrated by ‘Ubadah ibn al-Samit through Imam Ahmad was classified as sahih li ghairihi because it was supported by corroborating chains of transmission, whereas the supporting hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah through Imam al-Tabrani was classified as da‘if because its chain contained a narrator classified as matruk. Despite their differing levels of quality, both hadiths contain fundamental educational values of respect, compassion, humility, and moral responsibility. These findings strengthen the development of the concept of ta’dib and broaden the understanding of prophetic pedagogy in the context of contemporary education. This study affirms that authentic hadiths play an important role as a normative foundation for students’ character formation. The theoretical implication of this study lies in enriching the literature on hadith tarbawi, whereas its practical implication encourages educators, curriculum developers, and Islamic educational institutions to integrate verified prophetic values and prioritize the cultivation of moral conduct before the process of knowledge transmission. This study also opens opportunities for further research on the contextual application of hadith values in digital learning environments.
