Analisis Kesiapan Implementasi Kebijakan Tes Kemampuan Akademik (TKA) 2025 oleh Kemendikbud

Juriyah Juriyah, Tomulyo Fahrudin, Jalaludin Jalaludin — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 21:50:26 +0800

Indonesia’s educational assessment reform has entered a new phase with the introduction of the 2025 Tes Kemampuan Akademik (TKA), in response to the abolition of the National Examination (UN) and the redefined function of the National Assessment (AN), which now focuses on system-level evaluation rather than individual performance. This study aims to analyze the readiness level for implementing the TKA 2025 policy prior to its nationwide rollout. A qualitative method was employed using a descriptive policy analysis design, guided by George C. Edward III’s policy implementation framework, which comprises four key variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Data were drawn from secondary sources, including regulatory documents, official socialization materials, and national media coverage, and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal varying levels of readiness across the dimensions. The bureaucratic structure appears procedurally mature, owing to prior experience with the National Assessment. In terms of disposition, stakeholder enthusiasm—particularly among students—is high, as the TKA will serve as a university admissions tool. However, implementation readiness remains hindered by limited resources, notably the digital infrastructure gap between developed and underdeveloped regions. Furthermore, although policy communication has been relatively effective in disseminating information, a paradox emerges: the test is voluntary yet high-stakes, potentially generating anxiety among student participants. The study concludes that the successful implementation of TKA 2025 will largely depend on the state’s ability to bridge resource disparities and align policy communication in an inclusive and consistent manner.

Dampak Media Sosial terhadap Kesehatan Mental Remaja: Analisis Temuan Terbaru tentang Kecemasan, Depresi, dan FOMO

Marsal Yunas Muliadi Hasibuan, Sabarrudin Sabarrudin — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 12:10:25 +0800

The increasing use of social media among adolescents has had a significant impact on mental health, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). This phenomenon indicates that social media functions not only as a tool for communication and self-expression but also as a risk factor for adolescents’ psychological well-being. This study aims to analyze and synthesize recent findings on the relationship between social media use and adolescent mental health, as well as to identify intervention strategies through guidance and counseling approaches. A library research method was employed by reviewing primary sources such as academic journals and scholarly books, along with relevant secondary literature. The findings reveal that excessive use of social media is correlated with increased anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and FOMO. Key contributing factors include cyberbullying, social comparison, and the pressure to construct a perfect online persona. Guidance and counseling interventions can address these issues through preventive, curative, and developmental services, focusing on enhancing digital literacy, emotional regulation, and psychological resilience. This study underscores the critical role of guidance and counseling in helping adolescents achieve balance between their online and offline lives, thereby supporting more stable and adaptive mental health.

Integrasi Nilai Lokal dan Agama: Kolaborasi Blater dan Ulama dalam Pemberdayaan Masyarakat di Sampang

Achmad Sofyan, Maimun Maimun — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 12:37:55 +0800

The limited research on the collaboration between traditional leaders (Blater) and religious scholars (ulama) in community development forms the background of this study, despite the significant role such cooperation plays in preserving local values and strengthening religious life, particularly in Sampang. This study aims to examine the forms, strategies, and challenges of integrating local and religious values through the collaboration between Blater and ulama in the context of community empowerment. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving 12 key informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed thematically. The findings indicate that the collaboration between Blater and ulama actively integrates local values into religious practices, reinforces social bonds among residents, and supports community empowerment initiatives. However, several challenges persist, such as resistance from certain community members and limited human and material resources. These findings align with theories of social capital and value integration, which emphasize the importance of synergy between traditional and religious institutions in community development. The main conclusion of this study is that the collaboration between Blater and ulama serves as a key factor in uniting local and religious values to strengthen social structures and accelerate community empowerment. The study offers theoretical contributions to the discourse on socio-religious cooperation, as well as practical recommendations for local governments and stakeholders to promote sustainable and context-sensitive collaborative programs. Moreover, it opens opportunities for further exploration in other regions to better understand the dynamics of local cooperation in community empowerment contexts.

Strategi Manajemen Konflik atas Pendirian Taman Pendidikan Qur’an

Asma'I Gunarsih, Siti Choiriyah — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:54:28 +0800

This study is motivated by the limited research on conflict management tactics in the establishment of non-formal Islamic educational institutions, particularly Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPQ), despite the fact that conflicts arising during their development have significant implications for the sustainability and social legitimacy of religious education at the community level. The aim of this study is to identify the types of conflict that occur in the process of founding TPQs, analyze conflict management tactics based on Rahim and Bonoma’s Dual Concern Model, and explore the role of Islamic ethical values in community mediation and reconciliation. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected from eight key informants—including TPQ administrators, religious leaders, community members, and village officials—selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and reflective documentation, which were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that all five conflict management strategies—integrating, obliging, compromising, dominating, and avoiding—were effectively internalized through Islamic values such as musyawarah (deliberation), islah (reconciliation), and ukhuwah (brotherhood). This process successfully transformed conflict into an opportunity for moral education and strengthened community social cohesion. The study expands Western conflict management frameworks into a transformational-spiritual model rooted in Qur’anic ethics, offering both theoretical contributions to conflict studies and practical guidance for managing Islamic educational institutions in an ethical, participatory, and values-based manner.

A. Khuzainol Mubarok, Maimun Maimun, Achmad Anshari — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 17:23:44 +0800

This study is driven by the limited research on the struggles of rural women in pursuing higher education amidst the dominance of patriarchal culture, despite the significant impact of this phenomenon on improving human resource quality and promoting gender equality at the local level. The research aims to describe and analyze the motivation, family support, and social challenges faced by women in Plakpak Village, Pegantenan District, Pamekasan Regency in accessing higher education. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Ten participants were selected through purposive sampling, consisting of five women with higher education backgrounds, three parents, and two community leaders. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that women's motivation to pursue higher education is driven by spiritual and moral values, such as the desire to gain knowledge, elevate family dignity, and challenge gender stereotypes. Parental support, particularly from mothers and fathers, emerged as a key factor in overcoming the constraints of patriarchal norms. However, community responses remain mixed, with both support and resistance toward women's roles in higher education. The study concludes that higher education enhances women's social status but has not yet fully eliminated gender disparities due to the persistent strength of patriarchal values. The implications highlight the importance of synergy between education, family, and community in fostering gender equality in alignment with the principles of justice in Islam.

The research subjects included media experts, content experts, and 20 students from class XII C. Instruments consisted of validation sheets and student response questionnaires. Validation results showed that Blooket received a score of 95% from media experts and 90% from content experts, categorized as "Highly Valid" and "Feasible." Field trials indicated a significant increase in student learning interest, with an average score of 4.68 in the "Very High" category. These findings demonstrate that Blooket is effective as an interactive and enjoyable evaluation tool that enhances student participation in SKI learning. The implications of this study support the adoption of game-based digital evaluation media as an innovative alternative in Islamic Religious Education, particularly in SKI, to boost student motivation and engagement in the digital era.

Museum Goedang Ransoem Sawahlunto: dari Museum menuju Wisata Heritage tahun 2005–2019

Intan Fahira, Siti Fatimah — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 05:29:05 +0800

Although the history of the Ombilin mining site and its infrastructural transformation has received scholarly attention, studies specifically tracing the functional transformation of the Goedang Ransoem Museum in Sawahlunto remain limited. This research aims to describe the process of functional transition of the Goedang Ransoem Museum from its inauguration as a museum to its transformation into a heritage tourism destination in the city of Sawahlunto. The study employs historical research methods, including the heuristic stage for data collection, followed by source criticism through external and internal evaluations, data interpretation, and historiographical writing as the final stage. The findings reveal that following the closure of the Ombilin mine in the early 1990s, various remnants of colonial infrastructure—including the former communal kitchen building for mine workers—underwent functional changes. The Goedang Ransoem Museum, which had previously served several non-museum functions, was officially inaugurated as a museum in 2005 and reclassified as a heritage tourism site in 2019. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of post-industrial spatial transformation in the context of colonial heritage preservation. The implications highlight the importance of adaptive management of historical assets as part of a sustainable cultural tourism development strategy in post-mining regions.

Ainul Mardiah, Syafri Anwar — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 16:30:41 +0800

The low geography learning outcomes among Grade X students, as indicated by scores falling below the standard, serve as the background of this study. One of the main contributing factors is the use of learning methods that lack engagement and interactivity. This research aims to examine the implementation of learning using interactive media, compare learning outcomes between control and experimental classes, and analyze the effect of using interactive media on geography learning outcomes. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, using purposive sampling to select two classes—E2 as the experimental class and E4 as the control class. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and testing. The research instruments underwent validity and reliability testing, while data analysis included tests of normality, homogeneity, hypothesis testing, and gain analysis. The findings show that the average post-test score of the experimental class using the interactive Quizizz media was 88.63, compared to 74.03 in the control class. This difference indicates a significant positive effect of using Quizizz on students' geography learning outcomes. The study concludes that integrating interactive media such as Quizizz is effective in enhancing learning outcomes, particularly when aligned with students’ characteristics and learning needs. The practical implication recommends that teachers adopt digital interactive media in geography instruction to foster a more engaging and participatory learning environment.

Nur Halimah, Rahmi Seri Hanida, Ali Yusron — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0800

The declining spirit of cooperation among elementary school students, as a consequence of modernization and individualism, underscores the urgency of revitalizing gotong royong values within educational settings. This study aims to analyze students’ understanding of gotong royong, describe its implementation in Civics Education (PKn) instruction, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors influencing its application at SD IT Al-Munawwar. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving fifth-grade teachers and students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation, analyzed using the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman, which encompasses data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings indicate that fifth-grade students possess a strong conceptual and practical understanding of gotong royong, demonstrated through classroom duties, group assignments, and concern for peers in need. This value is reinforced by teacher role models, participatory teaching methods, and a school culture that emphasizes togetherness. Inhibiting factors were minimal and predominantly observed among lower-grade students who require further guidance. The study concludes that gotong royong plays a vital role in shaping students’ social and moral character. The implications point to the need for strengthening character education theory grounded in Pancasila values and developing contextual learning models that foster cooperation, solidarity, and empathy at the elementary level.

Risda Heldriyana Br Bangun, Zakia Zuzanti — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 20:08:00 +0800

Analytical thinking is a critical cognitive skill that supports students in making rational and realistic career decisions. This study is motivated by the low level of analytical thinking ability among senior high school students, which contributes to their unpreparedness in determining career direction. The objective of this research is to analyze the level of analytical thinking ability among students at SMA Swasta Masehi Berastagi from the perspective of career guidance. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. The sample consisted of 18 students selected through total sampling. The research instrument utilized a Guttman Scale comprising 18 statements based on three dimensions of analytical ability as outlined by Anderson and Krathwohl: differentiating, organizing, and attributing. The analysis revealed that students' analytical thinking ability was at a moderate level (58%). The organizing aspect achieved the highest score (62%), followed by attributing (57%) and differentiating (55%). These findings suggest that while students demonstrate a fair ability to organize information, they struggle to distinguish relevant information and relate it to career decision-making factors. The study concludes that there is a need to strengthen analytical thinking skills through career guidance services that integrate reflective strategies and self-analysis activities. The practical implication is that guidance counselors should develop counseling approaches grounded in analysis and self-reflection to better support students’ career exploration and planning in a more focused and in-depth manner.

Yuliana Putri, Wahidah Fitriani — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Learning difficulties in Islamic Religious Education (PAI), particularly in abstract subjects such as akhlak, fikih, and the application of Islamic values in daily life, remain a significant challenge at the junior high school level. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Jigsaw Learning model in addressing learning difficulties and improving student learning outcomes in PAI at SMPN 4 Kota Solok. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 60 eighth-grade students divided into two groups: an experimental class (using the Jigsaw Learning model) and a control class (using conventional methods). Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, classroom observations, and student perception questionnaires. The findings showed an increase in the experimental class’s average score from 67.9 to 86.5, while the control class improved from 68.1 to 76.4. An independent sample t-test revealed a significant difference between the two groups (t = 4.85 > t table = 2.00; α = 0.05). These results confirm that the Jigsaw Learning model effectively enhances conceptual understanding, student collaboration, and active participation in PAI instruction. The study concludes that collaborative learning through peer teaching within group structures fosters deeper comprehension and promotes both individual and social responsibility. The implications highlight the importance of integrating cooperative learning strategies in PAI contexts and recommend the incorporation of digital tools to further support critical thinking and social empathy development among students.

Mohammad Arif Zainuddin Rofiqi, M. Yahya Ashari — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 19:13:04 +0800

The suboptimal implementation of human resource development (HRD) management in Islamic educational institutions—particularly regarding the integration of training and coaching programs with institutional quality improvement—remains a critical challenge. This study aims to describe and analyze the HRD management practices at MA Al-Azhar Peterongan Jombang and their implications for enhancing the quality of Islamic education institutions. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving the head of the madrasa, teachers, and administrative staff as key informants through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed thematically through coding, categorization, and interpretation. The findings reveal that HRD management at MA Al-Azhar encompasses four core functions: planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision—all grounded in Islamic values. The HRD programs include professional training, spiritual development, and academic supervision, which positively influence teachers’ motivation, work ethic, and professionalism, although they have not yet fully translated into improved student academic performance. The study suggests that HRD contributes indirectly to institutional quality through the reinforcement of an Islamic work culture. These findings have implications for the development of a spiritually grounded conceptual model of HRD management as a policy reference for sustainable quality improvement in Islamic education, while also enriching the theoretical discourse on Islamic educational management.

Rizki Hidayatullah Achmad, Muhammad Yusuf — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 15:43:52 +0800

Although religious guidance in schools has been widely studied, research that specifically examines Muslim students’ perceptions of religious activities in non-Islam-based schools remains very limited. This study aims to explore the forms of religious activities implemented at SMA Don Bosco and to analyze Muslim students’ perceptions of these religious guidance programs. This qualitative case study involved ten Muslim students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of meaning in students’ experiences. The findings show that the school organizes six types of religious activities: a short Friday sermon at the beginning of each month, salat Dzuhur in congregation, tahfiz Al-Qur’an, recitation submission and murajaah, pesantren Ramadhan, and celebrations of Islamic holy days (perayaan hari besar Islam/PHBI). All of these activities receive positive responses from students because they provide spiritual, social, and emotional benefits, including increased discipline, sense of responsibility, and strengthening of religious character. These findings contribute to the development of habituation theory in religious education and broaden understanding of the role of non-Islam-based schools in fostering the religious development of Muslim students. The study underscores the importance of structured, participatory, and engaging religious activities in shaping students’ religious character and recommends that schools maintain and further develop varied religious guidance programs. Future research is recommended to employ triangulation methods and expand research sites to obtain a more comprehensive picture of religious guidance practices in different non-Islam-based school contexts.

The phenomenon of foreign language use in students’ utterances, particularly English and Korean, is increasingly present in both academic and everyday communication and gives rise to interference that has the potential to affect the structure and normative rules of Indonesian. This study aims to identify and analyze the forms and causal factors of foreign language interference in the utterances of students at Universitas Peradaban. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using a linguistic analysis approach by classifying interference into phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical aspects. The findings show that the most dominant interference occurs at the lexical level, characterized by the direct use of English words or phrases without translation, such as deadline, submit, and mute, as well as syntactic deviations resulting from the influence of foreign sentence structures. The main factors causing interference include habitual use of foreign languages in course materials, the influence of digital media, and the perception that using foreign languages reflects a higher level of intellectuality. In conclusion, foreign language interference in students’ utterances is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also reflects social and cultural dynamics within the academic environment. The implications of this study underscore the need to strengthen awareness and guidance regarding the proper use of Indonesian in higher education in order to maintain the identity and function of Indonesian as the national language amid the pressures of globalization.

Decolonizing Curriculum through Love and Deep Learning: Toward an Integrative Cognitive, Affective, and Spiritual Framework

Akbar Yusgiantara, Rustam Ibrahim — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 21:19:16 +0800

This study introduces Love Education for Deep Learning as a conceptual framework that redefines education from a technocratic instrument into an ethical and transformative arena. Grounded in cognitive, emotive, and spiritual qualities rooted in mahabbah (love) and rahmah (compassion), the paradigm connects the global movement toward humanistic curricula with decolonial critiques of Eurocentric education. Through conceptual inquiry and systematic narrative synthesis, the study advances three key contributions: it articulates love and deep learning as mutually reinforcing foundations for educational practice; it proposes a triangulated cognitive, affective, and spiritual framework for understanding learning processes; and it establishes the Love Curriculum as an epistemological novelty in curriculum theory. A cycle implementation model is proposed to link education policy, teaching practices, and student outcomes, thereby offering a conceptual roadmap for the implementation of Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar reform. Although conceptual in nature, this paradigm delineates a research agenda for empirical and cross-cultural investigations on motivation, resilience, and critical thinking, and supports global efforts to rehumanize and decolonize education.

Tama Tarina Habsari, Ilham Rizki Nurjati, Panca Dewi Purwati — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Listening skills are a fundamental competence in Bahasa Indonesia instruction, yet in practice listening activities often take place in a passive manner and are insufficiently supported by appropriate instructional media, causing many students to struggle to maintain attention and follow the storyline of aural texts. This study aimed to describe the implementation of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model combined with a Board Book Audio Aural and to analyze its influence on story comprehension and cooperation among 22 fifth-grade students at SDN Boyolali. A descriptive qualitative approach with a field study design was employed, using participatory observation, field notes, documentation, quizzes, and event-sequencing tasks as data collection techniques. The findings indicate that all stages of TGT were implemented effectively and that the use of the Board Book Audio Aural in the tournament phase helped most students to listen more attentively. Groups with strong internal coordination obtained higher quiz scores and were able to reconstruct the story sequence more accurately and quickly, although several challenges—such as unstable classroom conditions and variation in students’ ability to maintain focus—still affected the learning process. Overall, the integration of TGT and Board Book Audio Aural was found to enhance students’ listening skills and collaborative interaction, thereby underscoring the importance of multimodal media and structured cooperative strategies in listening instruction at the elementary school level.

Listening skills for aural texts among elementary school students remain relatively low, as reflected in their suboptimal ability to identify essential information, grasp the main message, and provide logical responses to spoken texts. Although listening instruction has been widely studied, research that specifically integrates concrete audiolingual media with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model remains limited. This study aimed to describe the implementation of Kartu Memory Listening media within a PBL framework in listening instruction and to examine its effectiveness in improving students’ listening skills and critical reasoning. A mixed-methods approach with an embedded concurrent design was employed, involving 28 third-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Listening skills data were collected using pretest–posttest assessments with teacher-read announcement stimuli supported by teacher cards, while students used learner cards containing characteristics and keywords of various types of announcements along with visuals of four common public locations (stations, ports, airports, and bus terminals). Critical reasoning was assessed through observations conducted by two observers using a standardized instrument. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles–Huberman technique. The results show a significant improvement in listening skills, with a mean posttest score of 91.6 (very good category), and in critical reasoning, with a score of 87.5 (good category). These findings enrich theoretical discussions on the use of concrete audiolingual media within a PBL framework and provide practical implications for Bahasa Indonesia instruction in elementary schools, while also opening avenues for further research on additional factors that may influence learning outcomes but were not examined in this study.

Representasi Feodalisme Pesantren dalam Media Televisi: Analisis Pemberitaan Trans7 dan Realitas Sosial di Pesantren An-Nur 2 Bululawang Malang

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 21:52:32 +0800

Pesantren feudalism as an issue of media representation has increasingly come to the fore in line with the widening gap between dramatized news coverage and the everyday realities of pesantren communities, particularly amid digital disruption that drives sensational narratives at the expense of factual accuracy. This study examines the media representation of pesantren feudalism in Trans7 news coverage and compares it with the social reality at Pesantren An-Nur 2 Bululawang, with the aim of analyzing how a feudal image is constructed in television reporting and how this construction intersects with, and often contradicts the educational, ethical, and cultural dynamics practiced within the pesantren. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were obtained through broadcast document analysis, observation of the pesantren environment, and in-depth interviews with caregivers, ustaz, and santri, and subsequently analyzed interpretively. The findings reveal three main patterns of media representation: symbolic dramatization of authority, selective emphasis on hierarchical relations, and visual framing that reinforces feudal stereotypes of pesantren. Conversely, field data show that authority in the pesantren is ethical, contextual, and pedagogical in nature, embodied through the principles of adab, ta’dzīm, mutual respect, and dialogical learning processes, while also uncovering negative data or anomalies related to variations in disciplinary practices and differences in understanding among santri. The study concludes that media narratives tend to oversimplify pesantren traditions and fail to capture their complexity as dynamic Islamic educational institutions. The implications of these findings enrich scholarship on media representation and the culture of Islamic education, while encouraging journalists, policymakers, and pesantren leaders to foster more accurate, ethical, and constructive public communication about the pesantren world.

Pemahaman Guru PAI tentang Hakikat Manusia dan Daya-daya Ruhani dalam Pembelajaran: Studi Fenomenologis pada SDIT Mutiara Hati

Laila Kamilatu Rahmi, Heru Yama Putra, Fadriati Fadriati, Ermis Suryana — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Although the nature of the human being and spiritual faculties has been widely discussed in the Islamic education literature, research that specifically explores how guru PAI interpret and implement these concepts in classroom practice through a phenomenological approach remains very limited. This gap highlights the need for studies that examine teachers’ authentic experiences in understanding fitrah, akal, and qalb as pedagogical foundations, particularly in the context of Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu. This study aims to describe guru PAI’s understanding of human nature, identify their interpretations of students’ spiritual faculties, and explain how these understandings influence pedagogical strategies at SDIT Mutiara Hati. The research employs a qualitative approach with an interpretative phenomenological design, involving six teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using phenomenological stages that include horizontalization, clustering of essential themes, and interpretation of meaning. The findings show that all teachers view humans as beings endowed with fitrah, akal, and qalb, which are manifested in classroom practice through habituation of moral conduct, role modeling, reflective dialogue, and the facilitation of emotional–spiritual experiences. Students’ rational faculties are activated through value-based discussions and reflective questioning, the qalb is nurtured through gentle approaches and the presentation of exemplary stories, and fitrah is preserved through daily spiritual activities and the habituation of positive behaviors. These findings contribute theoretically to the development of a holistic Islamic education paradigm that integrates cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions. Practically, the study underscores the importance of strengthening teachers’ competence in spiritual guidance and the need for school support in building a learning culture oriented toward character and spiritual formation, while also opening avenues for further research on the development of instruments for assessing spiritual dimensions and more systematic learning models grounded in fitrah, akal, and qalb.

Adolescent mental health problems, particularly among students in vocational high schools (SMK), are becoming increasingly prominent and constitute a critical concern in educational settings, including among students in the Computer and Network Engineering (Teknik Komputer dan Jaringan, TKJ) Department at SMK X who face academic pressure, limited emotional support, and the absence of counseling services, all of which contribute to the emergence of depressive symptoms. This study aims to understand the role of emotion regulation in dealing with depression among TKJ students at SMK X. A non-experimental quantitative method was employed, involving 150 students aged 15–18 years. Data were collected using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and analyzed using Spearman correlation and simple linear regression. The findings show that emotion regulation has a significant effect on depression, accounting for 33.4% of the variance in depressive symptoms. The cognitive reappraisal strategy has a positive relationship with depression, indicating that the more frequently students change the way they think about emotional situations, the higher their depressive symptoms. Conversely, expressive suppression shows a negative relationship with depression, meaning that the greater their ability to suppress emotional expression, the lower the depressive symptoms they experience. These findings confirm that certain emotion regulation strategies are not yet fully adaptive for students and underscore the importance of paying attention to emotion regulation in understanding the dynamics of depression among vocational high school adolescents.

Zahra Kayla Sudrajat, Riana Sahrani — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 17:21:13 +0800

Adolescence is a developmental phase characterized by identity formation, emotion regulation, and increasingly complex interpersonal relationships, in which family experiences play a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of romantic relationships, including how adolescents develop intimacy, passion, and commitment as described in Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love. Although dysfunctional families are known to disrupt emotional development and relationship quality, studies that specifically examine how such conditions affect the components of love in adolescents remain limited. This study aims to determine the relationship between family dysfunction and the Triangular Theory of Love among adolescents who are currently in romantic relationships. A quantitative method with purposive sampling was employed, involving 280 adolescents aged 17–24 years who met the research criteria. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using the Family Assessment Device (FAD) to measure the level of family dysfunction and Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale (STLS) to measure intimacy, passion, and commitment, and were then analyzed through validity and reliability testing, assumption testing, and Pearson correlation analysis. The results show that most respondents fall into the low family dysfunction category and report generally high love quality, particularly in the dimensions of intimacy and commitment. Correlation analysis reveals a significant negative relationship between family dysfunction and love quality (r = –0.199; p < 0.001), indicating that the higher the level of family dysfunction, the lower the quality of intimacy, passion, and commitment in adolescents’ romantic relationships. These findings underscore the importance of functional family conditions in fostering healthy romantic relationship quality among adolescents and provide an empirical basis for the development of family-based interventions and adolescent mentoring programs in educational and psychosocial service contexts.

Layda Rizkina Ramadhani, Rita Markus Idulfilastri — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 19:41:54 +0800

This study examines the role of parenting styles in shaping the autonomy of individuals who occupy the middle-child position in the family during early adulthood. The problem arises from the phenomenon that some middle children tend to exhibit lower levels of independence due to feelings of being overlooked within family dynamics, which affects their decision-making abilities, emotional regulation, and personal autonomy. The study aims to determine the extent to which authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful parenting styles contribute to the development of autonomy among middle children in early adulthood. Using a correlational quantitative survey method, the research involved 459 participants aged 18–29 years who occupy the middle-child position, with measurements conducted using validated autonomy and parenting style scales. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and regression to examine the relationships and the magnitude of parenting style contributions to autonomy. The findings show a significant effect of parenting styles on autonomy (R² = 0.086), indicating that 8.6% of the variance in autonomy is explained by parenting styles. Specifically, the authoritative parenting style provides the largest contribution (R² = 0.031), followed by authoritarian (R² = 0.020) and permissive (R² = 0.010) styles, whereas the neglectful parenting style does not show a significant effect (p = 0.901). These findings underscore that positive parenting, particularly the authoritative style that integrates warmth and control, plays an important role in fostering the autonomy of middle children in early adulthood. The implications highlight the urgency of implementing balanced and supportive parenting practices to optimize the development of middle children’s independence within complex family dynamics.

Model Teacher Centric Branding sebagai Strategi Membangun Reputasi Sekolah Islam Terpadu: Studi Kualitatif Deskriptif di Indonesia

Angga Ramadhan, Hamdi Abdul Karim — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Although educational branding has received attention in previous studies, research that specifically examines Teacher Centric Branding (TCB) as a teacher-based value approach to building the reputation of Sekolah Islam Terpadu (SIT) remains very limited. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms through which institutional reputation is formed via the internalization of Islamic values, exemplary practice, and the support of teachers’ spiritual leadership as a living brand. The study employs a qualitative approach with an interpretative phenomenological design, involving 12 participants selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings show that value internalization through structured spiritual development serves as the foundation of teachers’ professional identity; teacher role modeling in interactions with students and parents emerges as the most influential factor in shaping public perceptions; and spiritual leadership plays a crucial role in ensuring value consistency and institutional cultural stability. These findings expand theoretical understanding of internal branding, the human brand, and value-based leadership in the context of Islamic education, and affirm that SIT reputation is more strongly built through the quality of teachers’ values and behaviors than through external promotional strategies. The implications of this study include strengthening teacher development programs, enhancing communication competencies, and developing indicators of role modeling as an integral part of school branding strategies, while also opening opportunities for further research in other SIT contexts by involving more stakeholders and employing longitudinal designs to more comprehensively understand the dynamics of TCB formation.

Efektivitas Media Visual Flipbook Peta dalam Meningkatkan Pemahaman Siswa pada Materi IPS Kelas VI

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 17:27:38 +0800

Although visual learning media have been widely examined in social studies education, research that specifically investigates the integration of a digital flipbook format with spatial map visualization to address the spatial literacy crisis among elementary school students remains limited. This study aims to empirically test and analyze the effectiveness of the Media Visual Flipbook Peta in improving sixth-grade students’ understanding of IPS content, particularly related to spatial and geographical concepts. A quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design was employed, involving 22 sixth-grade students at SDN Citengah selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using pretest and posttest instruments and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, paired t-test, and Normalized Gain (N-Gain). The results show a statistically significant increase in understanding, as evidenced by the Wilcoxon test (p = 0.000) and paired t-test (p = 0.000), with the mean score increasing from 95.45 to 99.09 and the standard deviation decreasing from 8.18 to 4.33, indicating a more homogeneous distribution of understanding. The N-Gain value of 0.381 (38.1%) falls within the medium effectiveness category and is influenced by a ceiling effect, as 77.27% of students had already achieved the maximum score on the pretest. These findings contribute to the development of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) in the context of primary education and deepen understanding of the integration of interactive digital media to enhance spatial literacy. The study concludes that the Media Visual Flipbook Peta is important for improving conceptual understanding and equalizing students’ levels of understanding in spatial social studies content and recommends that educators and curriculum developers adopt multimodal and interactive digital media for teaching abstract concepts. The implications include theoretical contributions to the educational technology and multimedia instructional design literature, as well as practical implications for elementary schools, teachers, and policymakers to invest in the development of digital learning media and teacher capacity building in technology integration, while opening avenues for further exploration of long-term retention, affective and psychomotor dimensions, and replication in student populations with more diverse initial ability levels.

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 20:40:29 +0800

Although differentiated instruction has been widely examined in the context of the Kurikulum Merdeka, research that specifically focuses on its application to address disparities in students’ learning abilities in Pendidikan Pancasila at the elementary school level remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of differentiated instructional strategies in improving the learning outcomes of Grade IV students at SDN Protomulyo 2. Using a quantitative approach with a Classroom Action Research (Penelitian Tindakan Kelas, PTK) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the study was implemented over several cycles comprising planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages, involving 30 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected through achievement tests and observations of student activities, and were analyzed descriptively to identify changes in learning outcomes and engagement. The results show a substantial improvement in learning outcomes, as evidenced by 66.7% of students achieving the very good category after the intervention. In addition, classroom learning became more active, inclusive, and responsive to individual learning needs in terms of content, process, and product. These findings reinforce the theoretical foundations of differentiation and extend understanding of its application in Pendidikan Pancasila at the elementary level. The study underscores the importance of instructional strategies that are adaptive to diverse student abilities and recommends that schools optimize teacher training in the design and sustainable implementation of differentiated instruction.

Reputasi Sekolah dalam Perspektif Orang Tua Milenial: Studi Kualitatif tentang Faktor-faktor Branding yang Mempengaruhi Keputusan Memilih Sekolah

Junaidi Junaidi, Hamdi Abdul Karim — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 09:04:03 +0800

Although school choice and educational branding have been widely examined, research that specifically investigates how school reputation, digital branding, teacher quality, flagship programs, and social verification interact in millennial parents’ decision-making processes remains relatively limited. This study aimed to explore in depth the mechanisms underlying millennial parents’ considerations when choosing schools for their children by focusing on six key factors: school reputation as an initial filter, digital branding as the shaper of primary perceptions, teacher quality as the basis for substantive evaluation, flagship programs as institutional differentiators, the physical environment as tangible verification, and word of mouth as the final validation. The study employed a qualitative case study design involving 12 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, supporting observations, and a review of digital documentation, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that millennial parents’ decisions are shaped by the interaction between symbolic image, digital representations, and empirically verified evidence at the interpersonal level, whereby reputation and digital branding function as triggers of initial perceptions, while teacher quality, flagship programs, and the school environment serve as the ultimate determinants of trust. These results contribute to the development of educational brand equity theory by adding the dimension of digital credibility and provide methodological enrichment by demonstrating the importance of qualitative approaches for understanding the motives and processes underpinning educational decision-making. Practically, the study underscores the need for consistency between digital branding and schools’ actual practices, the strengthening of teachers’ capacity as the primary representatives of the brand, and the optimization of testimonial-based communication strategies. Future research is recommended to test this model quantitatively and to extend its application to different demographic contexts.

Meutia Zuniar, Prana Dwija Iswara — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 20:38:36 +0800

Dysgraphia, as a specific writing disorder, constitutes a significant barrier to narrative writing instruction among upper-grade elementary school students. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of dysgraphia, its impact on narrative writing ability, and effective instructional strategies based on a synthesis of recent literature. A systematic literature review method was employed by analyzing 15 SINTA-indexed articles published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that dysgraphia has multidimensional characteristics covering physical–motor aspects (difficulties with fine motor coordination, illegible handwriting), linguistic aspects (systematic spelling errors, limited vocabulary), and cognitive aspects (limited working memory capacity, poor organization of ideas. The impact of dysgraphia on narrative writing ability is reflected in low technical quality of writing, incoherent narrative structure, and psychological consequences such as anxiety and avoidance of writing activities. Effective instructional strategies identified in the reviewed studies include multisensory approaches, curriculum modification through product differentiation, the use of assistive technology, and intensive collaboration among teachers, parents, and specialists. The study concludes that comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of dysgraphia and the implementation of integrated inclusive instructional strategies have the potential to significantly improve students’ narrative writing ability, while also underscoring the urgency of developing identification and intervention models for dysgraphia that are contextually aligned with instructional needs in Indonesia.

Fadli Maulana Arif, Iswantir Iswantir — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 08:51:39 +0800

Although madrasah reform has received attention in various previous studies, research that specifically examines the implementation of institutional values and the curriculum of Madrasah Nizhamiyah in contemporary madrasah contexts remains limited. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in applying institutional values and Nizhamiyah curriculum principles in contemporary Indonesian madrasahs. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological case study design was employed, involving 14 PAI teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and curriculum documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and implementation patterns. The findings indicate that institutional values serve as the primary foundation of teaching practice, shaping students’ discipline, integrity, and collective responsibility. The integration of religious and general curricula is carried out holistically, although variations in implementation emerge due to differences in teacher creativity and limitations in formal guidelines. The principles of Madrasah Nizhamiyah are applied implicitly through the teacher’s role as a scholarly and moral figure, a character mentor, and a developer of students’ intellectual competencies. These findings contribute to the development of contemporary Islamic education theory and broaden understanding of the implementation of institutional values and Nizhamiyah principles in modern madrasah practice. The study concludes that the internalization of institutional values and the strengthening of the teacher’s role as a scholarly–moral figure are crucial for the success of madrasah reform, with theoretical implications for enriching the literature on contemporary Islamic education and practical implications for madrasahs and policymakers to reinforce operational guidelines, teacher training, and curriculum integration, while also opening avenues for further exploration of the application of Nizhamiyah principles in cross-disciplinary and long-term learning.

Strategi Branding Program Studi Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Membangun Identitas Akademik dan Citra Digital Perguruan Tinggi: Studi Kualitatif

Fadli Maulana Arif, Junaidi Junaidi — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 16:21:54 +0800

Although higher education branding strategies have been widely examined in previous studies, research that specifically discusses the role of branding in shaping the academic identity and digital image of Islamic Religious Education study programs remains relatively limited. This study aimed to explore the branding strategies of the Islamic Religious Education Study Program in constructing its academic identity and strengthening the digital image of the university. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving program leaders, lecturers, and students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations of academic activities and the study program’s digital media, and analysis of institutional documents, then analyzed using thematic analysis to identify emerging patterns and key themes.

Digital media, particularly the website and social media, play a strategic role in communicating academic identity and building institutional image, although challenges remain in maintaining message consistency and managing content. These findings underscore the importance of a clear academic identity, the active involvement of internal actors, and integrated digital branding management in enhancing the competitiveness and image of the Islamic Religious Education Study Program, while also offering theoretical contributions to the study of value-based higher education branding and practical implications for study program managers in designing sustainable branding strategies.

Etika Komunikasi Masyarakat Madura: Analisis Nilai Tengka dan Pengaruh Globalisasi terhadap Penggunaan Bahasa Ibu

Anisya Umi Khoiroh, Maimun Maimun, Achmad Sofyan — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 06:21:23 +0800

Studies on communication ethics grounded in Madurese local wisdom, particularly the value of tengka as a normative guide for honor and respect in social interaction, remain relatively limited, even though this phenomenon significantly affects the continuity of cultural identity and communication patterns amid globalization. This study aimed to analyze tengka as the ethical foundation of communication within Madurese society and to examine shifts in the use of the Madurese language, especially its speech levels, under the influence of globalization. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, involving members of the Madurese linguistic community selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, cultural observation, and literature review, and were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns of meaning and communicative practices associated with tengka. The findings show that the levels of the Madurese language (very refined, refined, and coarse) function as a social mechanism for expressing respect, maintaining harmony, and upholding the value of tengka. However, the dominance of the Indonesian language in public spaces and rapid social change have weakened younger generations’ understanding of speech levels and the value of tengka. These findings reinforce cross-cultural communication ethics theory that emphasizes the importance of local norms in maintaining social relations and affirm that tengka plays a central role in shaping communication ethics in Madurese society, despite facing the challenges of modernization. The study’s implications include strengthening the literature on communication ethics rooted in local culture and providing recommendations for local governments, educational institutions, and cultural communities to enhance the preservation of the Madurese language and the value of tengka through cultural education and language revitalization programs, while also opening avenues for further research on the adaptation of tengka in digital contexts and among younger generations.

Peranan Overthinking terhadap Kecemasan Sosial Mahasiswa yang Mengalami Impostor Syndrome

Najla Nada Muslimah, Riana Sahrani — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 16:03:52 +0800

Social anxiety is one of the mental health problems frequently experienced by university students and affects both academic processes and social life on campus, particularly when it intersects with a tendency toward overthinking and experiences of impostor syndrome. This study aimed to analyze the role of overthinking in social anxiety among students experiencing impostor syndrome. The research involved 385 students aged 18–25 years (135 male and 250 female), who were first screened using the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) to ensure that participants indeed experienced impostor syndrome. Overthinking was measured using the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), while social anxiety was measured using the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A). A quantitative approach with simple linear regression analysis was employed. The results showed a significant role of overthinking in social anxiety, with R = 0.531, R² = 0.282, F = 150.484, and p = 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that the higher the level of overthinking, the higher the social anxiety among students experiencing impostor syndrome, with a contribution of 28.2%. These findings underscore the importance of paying attention to overthinking as a psychological factor contributing to increased social anxiety in students with impostor syndrome and indicate the need for psychological interventions focused on managing ruminative thinking patterns to support students’ mental health and academic functioning.

Afif Rifqy Ashiddiqi, Rossanita Truelovin Hadi Putri, Ospa Pea Yuanita Meishanti — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0800

Differences in environmental conditions between wetland and dryland areas are presumed to affect the morphological characteristics of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency, South Sumatra, in both vegetative and generative growth, while in-depth studies on the morphology of fruits, stems, and leaves across these two land types remain limited. This study aimed to describe the morphological differences of oil palm grown on wetland and dryland sites and to develop the findings into a contextual educational leaflet as a learning medium. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through field observations in Airwall Village and Markisa Village, Lubuk Batang Subdistrict, OKU, with purposive sampling of productive and healthy oil palm plants. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively. The results show that oil palm grown on wetland areas has larger fruits with bright orange coloration, taller and more slender stems, and dense dark green leaves as a consequence of relatively optimal water and nutrient availability; conversely, oil palm on dryland exhibits smaller and duller fruits, shorter stems, and yellowish-green leaves that reflect drought stress and nutrient deficiency. These morphological findings were then packaged in the form of a contextual educational leaflet that visually compares plant characteristics in the two land types as an engaging, practical, and environmentally based biology learning medium. The study concludes that environmental conditions have a marked influence on oil palm morphology and that the findings have the potential to be utilized as innovative teaching materials in contextual biology learning in schools.

The findings show that the clean water supply program has reached 270 out of 281 households; however, service effectiveness remains low due to a system that is unable to meet demand during peak hours, weak water pressure in higher elevation areas, and unstable flows that reduce community satisfaction and disrupt residents’ daily activities. Program effectiveness has not been optimal because of limited infrastructure capacity, the absence of water quality testing in accordance with health standards, budget constraints, and geographical as well as system maintenance challenges. The study concludes that effective and sustainable clean water provision in Nagari Gunuang Malintang requires strengthening technical and institutional aspects and cross-sector collaboration so that clean water services can meet community needs more equitably and reliably.

Rekonstruksi Pendidikan Islam Modern: Analisis Pemikiran Al-Ghazali dan Fazlur Rahman

Laila Kamilatu Rahmi, Heru Yama Putra, Jamilus Jamilus — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 21:00:08 +0800

Although modern Islamic education has attracted considerable scholarly attention, studies that specifically synthesize the educational thought of Al-Ghazali and Fazlur Rahman to formulate a holistic and contextual model of Islamic education remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the concept of Islamic education according to Al-Ghazali, examine Fazlur Rahman’s ideas on contemporary Islamic education, and synthesize both perspectives as a basis for reconstructing modern Islamic education. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical and comparative design. Data were drawn from 50 documents in the form of classical texts, books, journal articles, and relevant scholarly works selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using document analysis and examined thematically through stages of coding, categorization, comparison, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that Al-Ghazali emphasizes educational goals oriented toward the formation of insan kamil through the integration of intellect, heart, and action, whereas Fazlur Rahman stresses adaptive, contextual, and integrative education through the development of critical thinking skills and contextual understanding of religious texts. The synthesis of these two strands of thought produces a model of modern Islamic education that underscores a balance between spiritual character formation, mastery of knowledge, and adaptive capacity in responding to contemporary social challenges. These findings contribute to the development of modern Islamic educational theory by enriching an integrative framework that bridges classical tradition and neo-modernist thought, and affirm the importance of integrating spiritual, moral, and intellectual values into curricula and learning strategies that are holistic, contextual, and character-oriented. The study also opens up opportunities for further empirical research to examine the implementation of this modern Islamic education model in educational practice.

Although the concepts of tarbiyah, ta‘lim, and ta’dib have been widely discussed in Islamic education studies, research that specifically examines Islamic Religious Education teachers’ understanding of these three concepts and their implications for classroom instructional practice remains relatively limited. This study aimed to explore Islamic Religious Education teachers’ understanding of the terms tarbiyah, ta‘lim, and ta’dib and how this understanding is manifested in their teaching practice. The study employed a qualitative approach with a field study design involving ten Islamic Religious Education teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education classroom practice remains dominated by a ta‘lim-oriented approach that focuses on content delivery and cognitive achievement, whereas the concept of tarbiyah is more often understood implicitly as the cultivation of religious attitudes and habits, and ta’dib tends to be reduced to general etiquette or politeness. These results reveal a gap between the normative concepts of Islamic education and pedagogical practice in formal schools and provide an empirical contribution to the development of contemporary Islamic education studies. The study concludes by underscoring the importance of integrating tarbiyah, ta‘lim, and ta’dib holistically within Islamic Religious Education instruction and recommends strengthening teachers’ conceptual competence through continuous professional development programs to improve instructional quality and the formation of adab and student character.

The phenomenon of Korean Pop (K-Pop) has become an important part of global popular culture and is highly favored by Indonesian adolescents, such that fans’ emotional involvement with their idols often forms one-way or parasocial relationships that may be associated with feelings of loneliness. This study aimed to examine the relationship between parasocial relationships and the level of loneliness among adolescent K-Pop fans. A quantitative approach was employed with 207 adolescents aged 15–19 years who were active K-Pop fans and had been part of a fandom for at least six months. The instruments used were the Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) to measure parasocial relationships and the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 to measure loneliness. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation. The results showed a significant but weak positive relationship between parasocial relationships and loneliness among adolescent K-Pop fans, with a correlation coefficient of rₛ = 0.316 and a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.01). These findings indicate that the higher the level of adolescents’ parasocial relationships with K-Pop idols, the higher the level of loneliness they experience, thereby providing important implications for parents, educators, and mental health practitioners to pay closer attention to the dynamics of parasocial relationships in the context of adolescents’ use of digital entertainment media.
