- Parental support
- career orientation
- higher education decision-making
- vocational high school students
Abstract
This study aims to determine the influence of parental support and career orientation on the decision-making process regarding further education among students at SMK Negeri 1 Tambusai. This is an associative quantitative study. The study population consists of all 308 twelfth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Tambusai. The sampling technique used was random sampling, meaning the entire population was included in the study sample. Questionnaires were used as instruments to measure parental support, career orientation, and decisions regarding further education. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression. The results indicate a significant influence of parental support and career orientation on the decisions regarding further education among students at SMK Negeri 1 Tambusai, with a linearity test significance value (sig) of 0.000 (< 0.05). The calculated F-value of 19,531.925 indicates that both independent variables simultaneously influence the dependent variable, and the significance level (sig) of 0.000 is less than 0.05; thus, the hypothesis stating the existence of a simultaneous influence between the variables is supported. This means that the higher the level of parental support and the better the students’ career orientation, the more mature and appropriate their decisions regarding further education will be.

Planning and Implementing Digital Learning in Indonesia's Twenty-First-Century Education System: An Integrative Review Integrative review of models, determinants, and strategies
Abstract
Digital transformation requires education systems to move beyond the technical adoption of platforms and devices toward pedagogically grounded, inclusive, and sustainable learning designs. This article aims to analyse the urgency, planning models, implementation determinants, and digital media strategies needed to strengthen digital learning in Indonesia's twenty-first-century education system. Using a qualitative structured integrative literature review, this study synthesised conceptual, empirical, and policy literature on digital learning, instructional design, TPACK, SAMR, blended learning, learning analytics, artificial intelligence in education, and Indonesian curriculum policy. The data were analysed through content analysis and thematic synthesis to identify recurring concepts, relationships among components, and implications for educational governance. The results indicate that digital learning in Indonesia is shaped by five interrelated dimensions: system context, instructional design, operational implementation, digital media strategy, and continuous evaluation. The study further proposes an integrative conceptual model that connects ADDIE, TPACK, critical SAMR reflection, blended and hybrid learning, and data-informed evaluation within the specific context of Indonesian education. The discussion argues that digital learning should be understood not as media migration but as systemic pedagogical transformation. The study implies that teachers need stronger digital pedagogical competence, institutions need coherent digital learning ecosystems, and policymakers need to ensure equitable infrastructure, ethical data governance, and sustained professional development.- 0 Citations

- principal leadership
- education management information system
- nature school
- digital transformation
- qualitative case study
Abstract
Digital transformation in education positions school principals as strategic actors in managing the implementation of the Education Management Information System (EMIS); however, empirical studies remain concentrated on formal schools and have not adequately explored alternative school contexts. This study aims to analyze principals' leadership strategies in managing EMIS implementation in nature schools, alternative educational institutions with distinct philosophical, pedagogical, and cultural characteristics. The study employed a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design at two nature schools, Naufal Zahra School and Arrasyid School. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with two principals as key informants and four supporting informants (teachers and system operators), participant observation, and documentary analysis. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model encompassing data condensation, thematic display, and conclusion drawing and verification, supported by source, method, and cross-case triangulation. The findings identify five mutually reinforcing leadership strategies: needs-diagnostic planning, phased socialization and implementation, differentiated training combined with empowering operators as internal technical agents, institutional digital culture building, and adaptive management of implementation barriers. These strategies improved administrative effectiveness, accelerated data-driven decision-making, and strengthened school–parent communication while maintaining coherence with the humanistic values of nature schools. This study contributes to educational leadership theory by demonstrating that successful EMIS implementation in alternative institutions rests on contextual, transformational, and adaptive leadership strategies attuned to organizational culture.

- Integrative curriculum
- Nature-based school
- Ecosystem factors
- Systematic literature review
Abstract
Nature-based schools have grown rapidly worldwide, yet research on how teachers collaborate to develop integrative curricula within these settings—and what ecosystem factors shape such collaboration—remains limited. This study aimed to systematically synthesise existing literature on teacher collaboration in integrative curriculum development at nature-based schools, identify enabling and impeding ecosystem factors, and map current research gaps. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA protocol was conducted, screening 90 articles from four databases (ERIC, Google Scholar, Scispace, and Semantic Scholar) published between 2015 and 2026, from which 43 articles met all inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis revealed four main forms of teacher collaboration: curriculum co-planning and co-design, interdisciplinary team teaching, professional learning communities (PLC), and collaboration with external actors. Four ecosystem factor categories were identified as enablers and barriers: school leadership (the most determinant factor), school culture, educational policy, and the physical-community ecosystem of nature-based schools. Five critical research gaps were identified, notably the scarcity of studies in Asian and Indonesian contexts, the absence of integrative research simultaneously examining all three variables, and the lack of longitudinal studies. These findings indicate that effective teacher collaboration in nature-based schools requires distributed principal leadership, autonomy-supporting policies, and a systemic collaborative culture, with implications for school principals, policymakers, and researchers.

Abstract
This study analyzes the role of In-House Training (IHT) in strengthening teacher professionalism in inclusive learning at coastal elementary schools in Ketapang Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a multi-site case study design at SD Negeri 01 Matan Hilir Selatan and SD Negeri 09 Matan Hilir Selatan. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, school environment observations, and document studies involving two principals and eight classroom teachers. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model through data condensation, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. Data trustworthiness was strengthened through source triangulation, technique triangulation, member checking, and document auditing. The findings indicate that IHT plays a role in improving teachers’ understanding of student characteristics, differentiated instruction, adaptive strategies, and teacher collaboration. SD Negeri 01 Matan Hilir Selatan, which had implemented IHT, demonstrated stronger pedagogical readiness than SD Negeri 09 Matan Hilir Selatan, which had not conducted IHT. However, inclusive learning implementation still faces limited facilities, the absence of permanent special assistant teachers, unequal access to professional development, and geographical challenges in coastal areas. The study confirms that school-based IHT should be strengthened through principals’ academic supervision and local government policy support.

Institutional Leadership in Improving Teacher Performance in Remote Senior High Schools
Abstract
This study examined institutional leadership in improving teacher performance in remote senior high schools. The problem addressed was the persistent gap between leadership policy and teachers' daily professional practice in schools with limited access, infrastructure, and supervisory support. A qualitative multi-site case study was conducted at SMAN 1 Singkup and SMAN 1 Marau through interviews, observation, and document analysis involving principals, vice principals, teachers, and school staff. The findings showed that institutional leadership improved teacher performance when the principal translated school vision into measurable routines, strengthened collegial supervision, protected instructional time, and mobilized local resources. The two schools demonstrated different emphases: SMAN 1 Singkup was stronger in discipline, attendance control, and structured lesson administration, whereas SMAN 1 Marau showed stronger collaborative problem solving and community-based support. The study concluded that teacher performance in remote schools was not determined only by individual competence, but by the quality of institutional arrangements that connected vision, supervision, professional learning, and contextual resource management.

Abstract
This study analyzed digital collaborative leadership in strengthening vocational-school quality at SMKN 1 Rangkasbitung. The main problem was the persistence of administrative supervision, fragmented teacher-performance data, and limited real-time visibility of classroom learning and internship activities. A qualitative case-study design was used through document analysis, digital-practice observation, and semi-structured interviews with nine purposively selected informants: the principal, vice principals, information-technology team, teachers, and students. The findings showed that ESEMKA BESTARI and TEWAK functioned not merely as administrative applications but as governance instruments for reorganizing supervision, discipline, and data-based decision making. Transformative leadership built shared urgency for measurable quality improvement; innovative leadership institutionalized digital workflows; and collaborative leadership expanded accountability by positioning teachers and students as data producers. The study concluded that digital leadership becomes effective when technology adoption is accompanied by cultural reconstruction, ethical data governance, teacher capacity building, and continuous evaluation of platform usefulness.

SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE WHITE BIRD DANCE IN PUTRI SAK AYU STUDIO, MUSI BANYUASIN REGENCY
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the symbolic meaning of the Burung Putih Dance within the cultural context of the Musi Banyuasin community. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach conducted at Sanggar Putri Sak Ayu, Musi Banyuasin Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews with instructors, dancers, and art observers, as well as documentation in the form of photos and performance videos. Data analysis refers to the theory of symbolism in dance. The results show that the symbolic meanings of the Burung Putih Dance are reflected in each movement sequence. The wing-flapping movement symbolizes peace and freedom, the right and left kecubung movement represents the act of driving away pests as a symbol of the relationship between humans and nature in agrarian life, and the bird formation movement reflects togetherness and cooperation. These meanings indicate that the dance movements are not only representational but also contain philosophical values such as harmony, balance, and mutual cooperation, which are integral to the life of the Musi Banyuasin community. The findings affirm that the Burung Putih Dance functions not only as an aesthetic performance but also as a medium for conveying cultural values and local wisdom.

Abstract
The integration of Deep Learning approaches into Project-Based Learning in vocational education, particularly for developing Green Entrepreneurship Competency, remains underexplored. This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of Deep Learning-based Project-Based Learning in improving the Green Entrepreneurship Competency of Grade XI–XII students in the Computer and Network Engineering Department at SMK Negeri 1 Kabupaten Sorong. A quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed, involving 184 students and 64 teachers. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed a significant improvement in Green Entrepreneurship Competency, with the average score increasing from 53.97% in the pre-test to 72.60% in the post-test (gain = 18.63; p < 0.001; Cohen’s d = 0.83). The Green Entrepreneurial Intention dimension showed the highest improvement, while Ecological Awareness demonstrated the strongest correlation with the quality of implementation. Regression analysis identified the quality of Deep Learning-based Project-Based Learning implementation as the strongest predictor of Green Entrepreneurship Competency (β = 0.412; R² = 0.621).

Principal Instructional Leadership and the Reflective Culture of Elementary School Teachers in Batam
Abstract
This study analyzed the instructional leadership of school principals in strengthening teachers' reflective culture in public elementary schools in Sagulung District, Batam City. The study used a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving principals and teachers selected purposively. The data were analyzed through condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing with verification. Credibility was strengthened through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that principals strengthened learning quality by formulating a data-based learning vision, conducting academic supervision, providing feedback, and building collaborative forums. However, teachers' reflection had not yet become a systematic school culture. The main constraints were uneven awareness of reflective practice, limited time due to teaching and administrative workloads, and the absence of structured instruments for documenting and following up reflection. The study concludes that instructional leadership becomes more effective when supervision is linked with collegial reflection, teacher learning communities, and measurable follow-up plans

The Implementation of Learning Community Culture as a Strategy to Accelerate Differentiated Deep Learning
Abstract
This study examined how Learning Community (Komunitas Belajar/KomBel) culture at SMAN 1 Bagan Sinembah contributed to accelerating differentiated deep learning. The study was motivated by the PLC Lite phenomenon, in which learning community activities were conducted formally but had not yet produced meaningful professional collaboration among teachers. A qualitative approach with a single embedded case study design was employed. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving teachers, the KomBel coordinator, and the principal selected purposively. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's interactive thematic model. The findings show that KomBel functions as a trust-based professional learning ecosystem through reflective collaboration, student data utilization, and co-creation of differentiated teaching materials. Differentiated instruction produced multidimensional effects on students, especially affective gains such as self-confidence and intrinsic motivation before cognitive improvement. The sustainability of KomBel requires both systemic institutional support and an authentic collaborative culture.

Evaluation of the Quality of Student Memorization Based on Fahmil (Understanding) of The Qur'an in Tahfizh Al-Qur'an Program at SDIT Plus Usman Bin Ali Medan
Abstract
This study evaluates the quality of Qur’an memorization based on fahmil (understanding) at SDIT Plus Usman Bin Ali Medan. The research is motivated by the tendency of tahfizh learning to emphasize memorization quantity rather than comprehension and internalization of Qur’anic values. A qualitative evaluative approach using the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product) was employed. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving principals, tahfizh teachers, students, and parents. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that fahmil-based evaluation has been implemented by integrating meaning comprehension into memorization activities. Students are assessed not only on memorization fluency but also on understanding and interpretation of verses. This approach improves memorization quality and religious character. However, challenges remain, including the absence of standardized assessment instruments and limited teacher competence in Qur’anic interpretation skills.

Pengaruh Vegetarianisme Terhadap Kesejahteraan Spiritual Umat Buddha Di Vihara Avalokitesvara, Jayapura , Mediasi Pengendalian Diri Dan Welas Asih
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh vegetarianisme terhadap kesejahteraan spiritual umat Buddha di Vihara Avalokitesvara, Jayapura, dengan pengendalian diri dan welas asih (karuṇā) sebagai variabel mediasi. Dalam ajaran Buddha, vegetarianisme bukan sekadar pilihan pola makan, melainkan praktik etis-spiritual yang berlandaskan prinsip ahimsa (tidak menyakiti), welas asih (karuṇā), dan cinta kasih universal (mettā). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional dengan teknik sensus terhadap seluruh 50 umat aktif Vihara Avalokitesvara Jayapura. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner daring dan dianalisis menggunakan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) dengan perangkat lunak SmartPLS 4.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa vegetarianisme tidak berpengaruh signifikan secara langsung terhadap kesejahteraan spiritual (koefisien jalur = -0,019; P = 0,845). Namun, vegetarianisme terbukti berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap pengendalian diri (P = 0,000) dan welas asih (koefisien = 0,716; P = 0,000). Selanjutnya, pengendalian diri (koefisien = 0,393; P = 0,004) dan welas asih (P = 0,000) masing-masing berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan spiritual. Uji mediasi menunjukkan bahwa welas asih memediasi pengaruh vegetarianisme terhadap kesejahteraan spiritual secara signifikan (pengaruh tidak langsung = 0,416; P = 0,000), begitu pula pengendalian diri (pengaruh tidak langsung = 0,305; P = 0,005). Model ini mengindikasikan terjadinya mediasi penuh (full mediation), dengan nilai R-Square kesejahteraan spiritual sebesar 0,852. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa dampak spiritual vegetarianisme tidak bersifat langsung, melainkan harus melalui transformasi batin berupa penguatan pengendalian diri dan welas asih terlebih dahulu. Penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi referensi ilmiah bagi pengembangan program pembinaan umat Buddha di Vihara Avalokitesvara dalam konteks budaya lokal Papua, serta menjadi pijakan bagi penelitian lanjutan tentang spiritualitas dan praktik keagamaan di Indonesia Timur

PAI learning practices in various schools still tend to be teacher-centered and memorization-oriented, so that the development of social and spiritual aspects is not optimal. This study aims to analyze the implementation of collaborative learning in PAI learning and its contribution to the development of students' social and spiritual competencies. The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with a qualitative synthesis approach to 28 articles obtained from the Google Scholar, Scopus, DOAJ, and Moraref databases in the period 2015–2025. Data were analyzed through thematic coding and content analysis to identify patterns of findings related to social competencies, spiritual competencies, and the integration of Islamic values in collaborative learning. The results showed that collaborative learning can improve students' communication skills, cooperation, tolerance, empathy, and social responsibility through discussion activities and group work. Moreover, collaborative learning also supports the internalization of spiritual values such as honesty, social awareness, moral responsibility, and Islamic ethics through reflective and participatory social interactions. This study concludes that collaborative learning is a relevant learning approach for creating more interactive, humanistic Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, oriented toward the integrated development of students' socio-spiritual character

THE EXISTENCE OF TADUT ART IN MUARA DUA VILLAGE, LAHAT: A STUDY OF FACTORS AND PRESERVATION MECHANISMS
Abstract
This study aims to examine the existence of the Tadut art form among the Muara Dua community in Pagar Gunung District, Lahat Regency, as well as to analyze the factors influencing its sustainability and preservation mechanisms. Tadut is a traditional oral literature of the Besemah people that is rich in Islamic values and historically served as a vital medium for religious learning when access to literacy was limited. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with three key informants selected via purposive sampling, and documentary studies. The results indicate that Tadut was introduced to Muara Dua in 1657 by Ki Haji Mahmud as a medium for teaching Islam. During its golden era (1657–1970), Tadut played a central role in Islamic dawah (prosetylization) and education; however, after the 1970s, its function shifted into a ceremonial art performed during tahlilan (mourning rituals) and wedding ceremonies. The existence of Tadut is influenced by social, aesthetic, functional, as well as knowledge and educational factors. Meanwhile, the primary inhibiting factors include socio-cultural changes, shifts in aesthetic values, the loss of its primary function, lack of documentation, and weak regeneration. Preservation efforts undertaken by the community and the local Cultural Heritage Foundation remain sporadic and have not been systematically structured. This study concludes that although Tadut still exists, its sustainability heavily depends on role revitalization, adaptive innovation, and active support from all stakeholders.

Culturally Based Unplugged Coding and Creatif Thinking: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract
Indonesia's traditional games, folktales, and arts remain a largely untapped resource for early computational thinking (CT) education, a field still shaped by Western frames. Unplugged coding offers a developmentally appropriate, screen-free route into CT, yet how it works when grounded in local culture, and how it relates to creative thinking, has not been synthesised. This study addresses that gap through a systematic literature review guided by PRISMA 2020. Searches of Scopus and Google Scholar covered 2015 to 2026. Of 476 records identified, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria and were synthesised thematically. Three patterns emerged. Cultural integration took four forms: narrative-based coding, traditional-game and familiar-context coding, local-wisdom curriculum and materials, and teacher-designed culturally responsive activities. The approach supported creative thinking through three mechanisms: creative expression, divergent thinking, and creative confidence, although direct evidence rested largely on a single study. The corpus also sat on two axes, from strictly unplugged to plugged activity and from explicit local wisdom to broader cultural framing, with the strictly unplugged and local-wisdom combination concentrated in Indonesian work. The review supports neither the claim that the approach transforms early CT education nor the view that culture is mere decoration. It recasts culture less as a motivational layer than as a pedagogical mechanism that can bridge computational and creative thinking when it forms the activity's generative core. A four-dimensional framework of cultural grounding, computational scaffolding, creative activation, and professional enablement is proposed.

- Value-Based Academic Performance.
Abstract
The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has driven significant transformations across various aspects of higher education, including the professional responsibilities of academic staff. While previous studies have predominantly focused on the pedagogical and technological dimensions of AI integration, its implications for educator performance management have received comparatively limited attention. This study aims to analyze the implications of Artificial Intelligence utilization for reducing administrative workload and enhancing teaching quality, as well as to examine its contribution to the transformation of educator performance management in higher education institutions. The study employed an Integrative Literature Review approach based on the framework proposed by Whittemore and Knafl. Data were collected from the Scopus, ERIC, and Google Scholar databases, covering publications from 2021 to 2026. The synthesis of 17 selected articles indicates that AI utilization contributes significantly to improving academic work efficiency through the reduction of administrative and repetitive tasks. This efficiency enables the redistribution of lecturers’ time and resources toward higher-value activities, including instructional innovation, research, and academic collaboration. The findings further suggest that the advancement of AI has the potential to shift faculty performance management from an administrative compliance-oriented approach toward a model emphasizing the quality of contributions and academic impact. This study proposes the concept of value-based academic performance as a conceptual framework for managing human resources in higher education within the context of digital transformation

Challenges of Instructional Leadership Related to Teacher Performance at Sabak Auh Junior High School
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by the school principal in implementing instructional leadership to improve teacher performance at SMP Sabak Auh. Based on findings from the Education Report, although instructional leadership is categorized as good, the quality of teaching remains moderate. This indicates that despite the principal's active role in formulating a vision, managing learning programs, and creating a positive learning climate, the implementation has not fully impacted the quality of teaching. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive and phenomenological methods, collecting data through documentation, interviews, and observations. The findings show that the principal adopts a collaborative approach in setting learning goals, involving all teachers. However, the biggest challenge is the differing understanding among teachers regarding the implementation of these goals in the classroom, as well as the lack of technological skills among some teachers. The principal has implemented continuous training to address these challenges, but limited technological facilities and varying levels of teacher readiness remain obstacles. This study recommends strengthening the provision of technological facilities, enhancing training based on the practical needs of teachers, and increasing opportunities for teacher collaboration to improve teaching quality and achieve learning goals.

Reconstruction of Differentiation-Based Islamic Religious Education Learning Strategies to Accommodate Cognitive and Social Diversity
Abstract
This study aims to reconstruct a differentiation-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning strategy to accommodate the cognitive and social diversity of students. The background of this research is based on the fact that PAI learning practices still tend to be uniform, while classroom conditions show a high level of heterogeneity. The approach used in this study is qualitative with a conceptual study through an analysis of relevant literature from the past five years. The results of the study indicate that differentiated learning can be a strategic solution through the development of three main aspects: content differentiation, process differentiation, and learning products. In addition, the implementation of this strategy is supported by the use of diagnostic assessments, flexible grouping, and adaptive adjustments to learning methods and media. The reconstruction of the PAI learning strategy also emphasizes the importance of integrating Islamic values in every learning process, thus not only improving cognitive learning outcomes but also strengthening the affective and spiritual dimensions of students. The role of the teacher as an adaptive facilitator is a key factor in the successful implementation of differentiated learning. Thus, this study concludes that a differentiation-based learning strategy can create PAI learning that is more inclusive, contextual, and oriented to the needs of students, and contributes to improving the overall quality of learning.

- Pedagogical Competence, Teacher Professional Competence, Organizational Culture, Teacher Professionalism, Elementary Education
- Kompetensi Pedagogik, Kompetensi Profesional Guru, Budaya Organisasi, Profesionalisme Guru, Pendidikan Dasar
Abstract
This study was conducted to empirically analyze the influence of pedagogical competence on teacher professional competence, with organizational culture as a moderating variable at Majalawang Elementary School. Pedagogical competence is a basic skill that teachers must possess to manage learning effectively, while professional competence relates to teachers' ability to master learning materials broadly and sustainably. In addition to individual teacher abilities, school organizational culture also plays a crucial role in supporting the improvement of the quality and professionalism of educators.
The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The study population consisted of all nine teachers at Majalawang Elementary School; thus, the entire population was sampled using a saturated sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a Likert-based questionnaire structured according to the indicators for each research variable. Data analysis was conducted through validity, reliability, and normality tests, as well as Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to determine the influence between variables and the function of organizational culture as a moderating variable.
The results showed that pedagogical competence had a positive and significant effect on teacher professional competence. The better a teacher's ability to understand student characteristics, plan lessons, implement teaching and learning activities, and evaluate learning, the higher their professional competence in carrying out their educational duties. Furthermore, organizational culture has been shown to strengthen the relationship between pedagogical competence and teacher professional competence. A harmonious, collaborative organizational culture supported by good communication among school members can increase the effectiveness of the application of pedagogical competence in supporting teacher professionalism.
This research implies that strengthening school organizational culture needs to be carried out continuously through increased cooperation, discipline, organizational commitment, and the creation of a positive work environment to support the improvement of teacher competence and professionalism optimally. Thus, schools are expected to be able to create better quality education through the development of professional and competitive human resources

Deep Learning Supported by Desmos Classroom to Improve Problem-Solving Skills and Regulate Students’ Emotions
Abstract
Mathematical problem-solving skills are one of the key competencies students must possess in mathematics education. However, in reality, many students still struggle to solve mathematical problems, particularly those involving linear equations. In addition to cognitive factors, affective aspects—such as emotional regulation—also influence students’ success in the learning process. Therefore, there is a need for instructional innovations capable of enhancing mathematical problem-solving skills while simultaneously supporting students’ emotional regulation. This study aims to determine the effect of Desmos Classroom-assisted deep learning on students’ mathematical problem-solving skills and emotional regulation regarding linear equations. This study employed a quasi-experimental method using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The study population consisted of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Kalanganyar. The sample comprised an experimental class that received deep learning instruction supported by Desmos Classroom and a control class that received conventional instruction. The instruments used included a mathematical problem-solving ability test and a student emotional regulation questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics through hypothesis testing. The results indicate that deep learning instruction supported by Desmos Classroom has a positive effect on students’ mathematical problem-solving skills. This is evidenced by an increase in the students’ average score from 57.15 on the pretest to 71.63 on the posttest. The results of the hypothesis test also showed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference following the implementation of the instruction. In addition, students’ emotional regulation achieved an average percentage of 76.08%, which falls into the “very good” category. Thus, deep learning instruction supported by Desmos Classroom can serve as an effective alternative for improving students’ mathematical problem-solving skills while simultaneously supporting their emotional regulation when studying linear equations

Vehicle Adoption Trend Analysis Based on Engine Displacement Segmentation Using Data Mining on Samsat Registration Data
Abstract
Indonesia's South Sumatra province generates substantial four-wheeled vehicle registration activity, yet the administrative records that document this activity have rarely been subjected to systematic analytical scrutiny. This study draws on Samsat vehicle registration data from 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 to examine how new vehicle adoption patterns differ across engine displacement (CC) segments. The dataset spanned 15 Excel files: Dataset A covered the full year 2025 (17,867 units), while Dataset B captured Q1 2026 (6,190 units). Because column naming conventions varied across files, a keyword-matching-based preprocessing pipeline was developed to handle integration. The analysis combined the Mann-Kendall Trend Test, Sen's Slope Estimator, STL Decomposition, Kruskal-Wallis Test, and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) as an out-of-sample projection benchmark.
The Mann-Kendall test returned no statistically significant monotonic trend (p = 0.7105), which indicates that the proportional split between engine displacement categories stayed broadly stable over the observation window. Low-displacement vehicles (≤1,500 cc) held a consistent majority, averaging 66.10% of monthly registrations, throughout the period. STL Decomposition revealed a seasonal component responsible for roughly 50.02% of total data variance; the low-displacement segment peaked in November, while the high-displacement segment peaked in March. Projection accuracy, measured by MAPE, came in at 14.46% for the low-displacement segment (Accurate) and 37.92% for the high-displacement segment (Moderately Accurate). Based on these results, Samsat's administrative data proves to be highly useful for practical applications. Regional governments can utilize this data to improve public service planning and estimate regional own-source revenue (PAD) more accurately

Consumer Trust Mediates Live Streaming Optimization and Product Specialization in Increasing Marketplace Purchase Interest
Abstract
This study addressed the empirical gap regarding the mechanisms underlying consumer purchase decisions within the direct digital commerce framework, focusing on Erlimakids consumers on Shopee and TikTok Shop. The primary objective was to investigate the structural path of live streaming perceptions and product specialization in driving purchase intentions, while concurrently examining the specific role of marketplace consumer trust as an operational mediator. Utilizing an explanatory quantitative approach based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response model, primary data from 161 validated respondents were statistically analyzed via Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The structural model evaluation demonstrated that both live streaming quality and strategic product specialization substantially reinforced consumer trust, which subsequently exerted a critical directive influence on purchase intention. Furthermore, product specialization emerged as the most dominant direct determinant of purchase preferences. The mediation analysis verified that consumer trust in the marketplace operated as a substantive partial mediator, indicating a dual-track cognitive mechanism where purchase intention was simultaneously shaped by trust-based psychological evaluations and direct attribute assessment. Consequently, integrating specialized product positioning with interactive digital communication effectively maximized transactional conversions.

Building the Integrity Fortress: A Holistic Performance Management and Accountability Model for Islamic Educational Institutions
Abstract
Islamic educational institutions are currently facing an accountability crisis and the phenomenon of a "simulacrum of compliance" dominated by secular administrative instruments. The failure of conventional managerial paradigms highlights the urgent need to reconstruct a holistic performance management model. This study aims to formulate an integrated model through four main pillars: Qalbu (intuitive control), Religion (theological foundation), Culture (social control), and Law (formal regulation). Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines, 28 key publications from Scopus, Web of Science, and Sinta (2017–2026) were analyzed thematically. The review indicates that the pillars of Qalbu (muraqabah) and Religion serve as the foundation for internal control, mitigating the risk of moral deviation, while Culture (peer control) and Law (Islamic Boarding School Law 18/2019, e-RKAM) act as instruments for enforcing external collective standards. This research proposes "The Integrity Fortress," a conceptual model that synergizes vertical (transcendental) and horizontal (socio-structural) value flows. As a practical output, this model includes an implementation design matrix tailored for Madrasah Aliyah. The design features concrete applications ranging from "Unsupervised Classrooms" to internalizing Qalbu values to the utilization of the e-Madrasah system for legal certainty, illustrated through a governance scenario for student organization funds (OSIM). In conclusion, accountability in Islamic education requires an interlocking ecosystem where spiritual consciousness is transformed into organizational culture and subsequently formalized within the legal system.

Deep Learning-Based Learning Model Design: Efforts to Improve Critical Analysis Skills in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Subjects
Abstract
This study discusses the development of a deep learning-based instructional design model as an effort to improve students' critical analytical skills in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). The study is motivated by the fact that PAI learning practices are still largely focused on rote memorization (surface learning), resulting in students' critical, reflective, and contextual thinking abilities not being optimally developed. Therefore, this research aims to develop and analyze the effectiveness of a deep learning-based instructional model in enhancing students' critical analytical skills, particularly in the aspects of interpretation, evaluation, and argumentation. This research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by examining national and international scholarly articles indexed in Google Scholar, SINTA, and GARUDA published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that the implementation of deep learning is able to improve conceptual understanding, students' active engagement in learning, learning motivation, creativity, and critical thinking skills. In addition, this approach helps students internalize religious values more deeply and meaningfully. The deep learning approach is considered relevant to the demands of 21st-century learning and the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum because it emphasizes active, reflective, and contextual learning processes. This study contributes to the development of a PAI instructional design that integrates cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions, making it a potential innovative alternative for improving the quality of Islamic education in the modern era

Abstract
The low levels of learning activity, collaborative skills, and learning outcomes in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) remain a major challenge in implementing 21st-century learning, which emphasizes active student participation. Preliminary observations conducted in Class V-B of MIN 4 Tebo revealed that most students demonstrated limited participation in group discussions, ineffective task distribution, and learning outcomes that had not yet met the expected minimum mastery criteria. This study aimed to improve students' learning activities, collaborative activities, and learning outcomes through the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model based on a Mount Merapi simulation in IPAS learning. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which consisted of two cycles involving planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research participants were 16 fifth-grade students of Class V-B at MIN 4 Tebo. Data were collected through observations, achievement tests, interviews, and documentation, while the data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings indicated that the implementation of Project Based Learning based on the Mount Merapi simulation significantly improved students' learning activities from 62.5% in Cycle I to 93.8% in Cycle II. Students' collaborative activities also increased from 47.8% to 86.3%, while learning mastery improved from 64.3% to 100%, with the class average score reaching 86.6 in Cycle II. These findings demonstrate that project-based learning effectively promotes active student engagement, strengthens collaborative skills, and enhances conceptual understanding through contextual and meaningful learning experiences. Therefore, the Project Based Learning model based on the Mount Merapi simulation can serve as an effective instructional alternative for improving the quality of IPAS learning in elementary schools.

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION ON PATIENT LOYALTY, WITH SERVICE QUALITY AND PATIENT SATISFACTION AS MEDIATING VARIABLES (A Study of Patients at the Dental and Oral Health Clinic of the Poncol Community Health Center in Magetan Regency)
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of Total Quality Management (TQM) implementation on patient loyalty with service quality and patient satisfaction as mediating variables at the Dental and Oral Polyclinic of Poncol Health Center, Magetan Regency. This research is motivated by the phenomenon of fluctuating patient revisit rates that showed a declining trend throughout 2025, indicating problems in maintaining patient loyalty. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all patients who made revisit visits to the Dental and Oral Polyclinic of Poncol Health Center during the period January-December 2025, totaling 441 people. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula with a 5% margin of error, resulting in 137 respondents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 4.1.6.6 software. The results showed that: (1) TQM has no direct effect on patient loyalty; (2) TQM has a positive and significant effect on service quality; (3) TQM has a positive and significant effect on patient satisfaction; (4) service quality has a positive and significant effect on patient loyalty; (5) patient satisfaction has no significant effect on patient loyalty; (6) service quality is proven to mediate the effect of TQM on patient loyalty; and (7) patient satisfaction is not proven to mediate the effect of TQM on patient loyalty. These findings reinforce TQM theory (Deming, 1986) and SERVQUAL theory (Parasuraman et al., 1988) which emphasize the importance of quality management implementation in improving service quality, which ultimately can shape patient loyalty. Practically, health center management is advised to focus efforts on improving service quality, particularly on aspects of environmental comfort, service speed, and medical staff interaction with patients, as well as ensuring that every system improvement can be applied to real services that are directly felt by patients.

Integration of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum with the National Curriculum in Primary Schools
Abstract
The development of 21st-century education demands the integration of national education standards with global competencies. Although the integration of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum with the National Curriculum has been implemented in several elementary schools in Indonesia, existing research is still partial and has not presented a comprehensive synthesis of the form of integration, advantages, disadvantages, and recommendations for its implementation. This study aims to describe the form of integration of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum with the National Curriculum in elementary schools and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of its implementation based on the results of previous research. The study used the Systematic Literature Review method with reference to the PRISMA guidelines. Data sources came from scientific articles obtained through the Scopus and Semantic Scholar databases with a publication range of 2022-2026. Of the 602 identified, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Data analysis was conducted descriptively-thematically and supported by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software. The results showed that curriculum integration was carried out through curriculum mapping, alignment of learning outcomes, material integration, bilingual learning, and adjustments to the assessment system. The implementation of this integration contributes to improving students' critical thinking skills, literacy, numeracy, English language proficiency, and global competency without neglecting national values. However, its implementation still faces challenges in the form of limited teacher competency, learning suggestions, dual curriculum management, and learning time allocation. This study contributes in the form of a comprehensive synthesis of the forms, benefits, challenges, and recommendations for implementing the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum Integration with the National Curriculum as a reference for schools, educators, researchers, and policymakers in developing curriculum in elementary school.

Abstract
The advancement of technology in the fourth industrial revolution era has made learning digitalization an urgent priority in primary schools, yet infrastructure limitations remain a significant challenge. SDN 1 Sido Makmur received a single 75-inch Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) unit as a government grant under the national school digitalization program. This study aimed to obtain an in-depth understanding of the IFP implementation process, its supporting and inhibiting factors, and its contribution to learning digitalization at SDN 1 Sido Makmur. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Subjects were determined through purposive sampling, comprising the school principal, three classroom teachers, and six students. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model and validated through triangulation. The findings revealed that the single IFP limitation was addressed through a structured rotation schedule, ensuring equitable classroom access and organically fostering a teacher material-sharing community. Planned IFP use increased student motivation, material visualization quality, and active participation, particularly in IPAS and Mathematics. Implementation success was driven more by transformational leadership and teacher collaboration culture than by device quantity. Government IFP programs will have greater impact when accompanied by management guidance and continuous TPACK training.

Breakfast is a salient hotel service encounter in that it influences the guests’ evaluations early in the day and combines product quality, operational readiness and menu choice. The objective of this research was to find out breakfast quality and menu variety as predictor of guest satisfactions at Pangeran Beach Hotel, Padang. An explanatory cross sectional survey was conducted on 105 guests selected by purposive sampling. The respondents had to be at least 18 years old and had to have stayed at least two nights and used the breakfast service at least twice. Data were collected using 30 items five point Likert questionnaire and were analyzed using multiple linear regression. All items were above the corrected item-total correlation threshold of 0.30. Construct reliability ranged from 0.817 to 0.825. The quality of breakfast was a positive predictor of guest satisfaction (B = 0.365; beta = 0.374; t = 4.266; p < 0.001), as was menu variety (B = 0.272; beta = 0.275; t = 3.135; p = 0.002). The full model was significant, F(2,102) = 18.529; p < 0.001, and accounted for 26.6% of the variance in satisfaction. Somewhat more powerful predictor was the quality of the breakfast. The results suggest the need for integrated controls for taste, freshness, temperature, hygiene and refill speed, and systematic menu rotation based on guest preferences.

THE EFFECT OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND COMPETENCE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE, MEDIATED BY INTRINSIC MOTIVATION, AMONG EMPLOYEES IN THE GENERAL AFFAIRS DIVISION OF THE MADIUN CITY REGIONAL SECRETARIAT
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of work-life balance and competence on employee performance, with intrinsic motivation serving as a mediating variable, among employees of the General Affairs Division of the Regional Secretariat of Madiun City. The increasing complexity of administrative responsibilities, the growing implementation of technology in public services, and the need to maintain a balance between work and personal life require employees to possess adequate competencies and high intrinsic motivation to achieve optimal performance. However, several issues remain, including work-life imbalance, uneven employee competencies, and relatively low intrinsic motivation, all of which may affect employee performance. This study employed a quantitative approach using an explanatory research design. The population consisted of all employees of the General Affairs Division of the Regional Secretariat of Madiun City. A census sampling technique was applied, in which all members of the population were included as research respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine both the direct and indirect relationships among the research variables. The results indicate that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on both employee performance and intrinsic motivation. Competence has a positive and significant effect on intrinsic motivation but does not have a significant direct effect on employee performance. Intrinsic motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, intrinsic motivation significantly mediates the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance through partial mediation, and fully mediates the relationship between competence and employee performance through full mediation. These findings suggest that improving employee performance depends not only on enhancing competence and maintaining work-life balance but also on strengthening employees' intrinsic motivation.

THE EFFECT OF ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT ON FACULTY PERFORMANCE, WITH ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE (A Study of Tenured Faculty at Muhammadiyah University of Jambi)
Abstract
The acceleration of internationalization in Indonesian higher education to support the Golden Indonesia Vision 2045 has triggered a phenomenon gap characterized by high administrative workloads that threaten faculty productivity. This study aims to analyze the influence of Adaptive Leadership and Human Resource (HR) Development on Faculty Performance at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jambi (UM Jambi), utilizing Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) as an intervening variable. Employing a quantitative approach, primary data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires administered to all 73 full-time faculty members through census sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 3.0 alongside Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA). The hypothesis testing results revealed that all direct paths had positive and significant effects (). HR Development showed the strongest direct effect on OCB (), whereas Adaptive Leadership was the primary direct driver of Faculty Performance (). Furthermore, OCB significantly acted as a partial mediator in bridging the impact of both Adaptive Leadership () and HR Development () on Faculty Performance. Theoretically, these findings integrate Adaptive Leadership Theory and Social Exchange Theory, demonstrating that discretionary effort is most effectively triggered when competency investment is paired with flexible leadership. Practically, management is advised to streamline bureaucratic barriers, prioritize capacity-building budgets (doctoral studies and Scopus/WoS publications), and foster a collaborative work culture rooted in Islamic and Muhammadiyah values (AIK).

This research was motivated by the low critical thinking ability of grade III students in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning at SD Negeri 030/VIII Rimbo Bujang, Tebo, which was shown by the initial completeness of 31.58% or six out of nineteen students. The research aims to describe the application of project-based learning, analyze the improvement of critical thinking skills, and assess the achievement of indicators of action success. The research uses the Kemmis and McTaggart model, Class Action Research, which is carried out in two cycles through the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation of learning implementation, critical thinking ability tests, project assessments, documentation, and field notes; Furthermore, it was analyzed descriptively, quantitatively, and qualitatively. The results showed that the average learning implementation increased from 77.5% in the first cycle in the good category to 92.5% in the second cycle in the very good category. The average score of critical thinking increased from 65.47 to 78.05, while classical completeness increased from 36.84% to 57.89%. Project-based learning increases student participation in observing, discussing, drafting products, presenting findings, and drawing conclusions. It was concluded that project-based learning is effective in improving the quality of the learning process and critical thinking skills, but classical completeness of at least 85% has not been achieved, so a follow-up cycle is needed. The next improvement needs to prioritize individual mentoring, strengthening evidence-based reasons, and formative assessments for students who have not been completed optimally.

Abstract
This research was motivated by the low learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo in Natural Sciences (IPA), specifically on Energy and Its Changes material. This issue was driven by the abstract nature of the topic and a teacher-centered learning environment that lacked varied learning media. This study aimed to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo through the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by audio-visual media. The research design employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Hopkins model, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle encompassed four major phases: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The subjects of this research were all 18 fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo, Gorontalo Regency, during the 2025/2026 academic year, consisting of 12 male and 6 female students. Data collection techniques included observation of teacher and student activities, multiple-choice written evaluation tests, and classroom documentation. The gathered data were analyzed descriptively using percentage techniques. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in student learning outcomes across the cycles. In the pre-action baseline condition, the classical mastery reached only 34% (6 students) meeting the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM 70). Following the implementation of Cycle I, the student learning mastery percentage increased slightly to 39% (7 students), which still fell short of the targeted classical success indicator. Reflective improvements were made in Cycle II by enhancing the interactivity of audio-visual media and group engagement. The evaluation in Cycle II revealed a substantial surge in classical mastery, reaching 83% (15 students) who successfully met the Learning Objectives Achievement Criteria (KKTP). The mastery growth from Cycle I to Cycle II was recorded at 44%. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by audio-visual media is highly effective in improving science learning outcomes on Energy and Its Changes for fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo, Gorontalo Regency. -

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NOKESO TEETH-MODIFYING TRADITION AMONG THE KAILI COMMUNITY IN PELAWA BARU VILLAGE
Abstract
This study aims to determine the development of the Nokeso tooth-cutting tradition among the Kaili people in Pelawa Baru Village and to identify the factors influencing changes in its practice. This study employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The informants in this study consist of the village head, customary leaders, community leaders, and community members who are knowledgeable about and have been involved in the execution of the Nokeso tradition. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research results regarding the development of the Nokeso tooth-cutting tradition among the Kaili people in Pelawa Baru Village, the researcher concludes that the Nokeso tradition is a cultural heritage of the Kaili community that is still recognized and respected today as part of their cultural identity. However, throughout its development, the tradition has undergone changes marked by a decline in frequency, the simplification of customary procession stages, reduced community involvement, and a diminishing number of traditional leaders or sando who fully comprehend the complete procedures. These changes are influenced by shifts in the community's way of life, advancements in education and technology, evolving religious understanding, a shortage of practicing sando, and low youth engagement in preserving the tradition. Nevertheless, the community still views the Nokeso tradition as a symbol of maturity, respect for tradition, and a cultural heritage possessing values of culture, togetherness, responsibility, respect for parents, and cultural preservation that need to be maintained amidst modern developments

Integrating GeoGebra with Interactive Flat Panels: The Mediating Role of Student Engagement in Spatial Geometry Learning Outcomes
Abstract
Solid geometry learning in elementary schools remains challenging because its abstract nature makes three-dimensional objects difficult to visualize. This study examined the effect of GeoGebra-Interactive Flat Panel (GeoGebra-IFP) integration on solid geometry learning outcomes, with Student Engagement as a mediating variable. A quantitative one-group pretest-posttest design involved 41 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through a UTAUT2-based GeoGebra-IFP integration questionnaire, a Student Engagement questionnaire covering behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic engagement, a learning achievement test, and classroom implementation observation sheets. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, and path-analysis-based mediation with bootstrapping. The results showed that GeoGebra-IFP integration positively affected learning outcomes and Student Engagement. Student Engagement also positively affected learning outcomes and significantly mediated the relationship between GeoGebra-IFP integration and solid geometry learning outcomes. These findings indicate that interactive learning technology improves achievement both directly and indirectly by strengthening students’ engagement during instruction. Therefore, GeoGebra-IFP can be considered an innovative instructional medium for improving the quality of solid geometry learning in elementary schools.

Behavioral Counseling To Reduce Smartphone Addiction In Childern
Abstract
Uncontrolled gadget use in children can lead to addiction, characterized by difficulty limiting screen time and impaired learning or social activities. This study analyzes the implementation of behavioral counseling in reducing gadget addiction through a narrative literature review. Findings indicate that gadget addiction is a learned behavior maintained by pleasurable reinforcement. Behavioral counseling reduces this behavior by identifying antecedent-behavior-consequence patterns, monitoring usage, establishing behavioral contracts, applying positive reinforcement, controlling stimuli, and developing alternative activities. Intervention effectiveness is strengthened when parents and teachers consistently enforce rules and model healthy technology use. Ultimately, behavioral counseling aims to establish controlled, functional, and developmentally appropriate digital habits.

The Influence of Digital Guest Interaction and Human Interaction on Guest Experience at Aston Nagoya City Hotel Studi komparatif pengaruh interaksi digital dan personal
Abstract
This study examined the effects of digital guest interaction and human interaction on guest experience at Aston Nagoya City Hotel, Batam. A quantitative method with a causal-associative approach was applied. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 178 guests using purposive sampling, of which 177 responses met the criteria for analysis. Multiple linear regression was used to test the hypotheses with the help of SPSS 25.00. The results showed that digital guest interaction had a positive and significant effect on guest experience (t = 5.538; Sig. = 0.000), while human interaction also had a positive and significant effect (t = 8.943; Sig. = 0.000). Simultaneously, both variables significantly influenced guest experience (F = 184.616; Sig. = 0.000), with an adjusted R square of 0.676, indicating that 67.6% of the variance in guest experience was explained by the two variables. Human interaction demonstrated a relatively stronger influence than digital guest interaction. These findings suggest that hotels should maintain reliable digital services while continuously strengthening personal interaction between staff and guests to create a more meaningful guest experience.

Digital Extramural English, Motivation, and VocabularyAcquisition in English as a Foreign Language Contexts
- Informal Digital Learning of English
- Extramural English
- vocabulary acquisition
- motivation
- learning styles
Abstract
In the digital era, English learning often extends beyond the classroom as students engage with authentic content via social media, online videos, and games. This study investigates how Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) and Extramural English (EE) activities foster vocabulary acquisition and motivation among English education students at IAIN Langsa. The researcher employs a qualitative approach, collecting data through semi-structured interviews and observations. Thematic analysis of the data revealed that learning was driven by audiovisual input, a synergy of intrinsic and ideal L2 self-motivation, and mediated by individual learning styles. Despite the prevalence of these behaviors, formal curricula seldom integrate such informal experiences. This research addresses that gap by examining how digital habits influence vocabulary growth and learner autonomy, which aligns with Indonesia's Merdeka Belajar curriculum and its emphasis on self-directed learning. The findings offer pedagogical insights for bridging formal instruction with informal digital practices, making English education more relevant. Conducted during a critical period of digital transformation, this study provides timely contributions to curriculum development and teacher education, empowering learners to harness their daily digital interactions for lifelong language proficiency.

Abstract
This study examined the implementation and effectiveness of HelloTalk in improving Arabic speaking skills among eighth-grade students at Ban Yaning Islamic School, Narathiwat, Thailand. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest model was employed, involving 30 students selected purposively. Data were collected through speaking tests, observation, interviews, and documentation, while speaking performance was assessed through pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that students’ mean score increased from 49.67 in the pretest to 77.33 in the posttest, with a Wilcoxon significance value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant improvement. However, the N-Gain score of 18.83% indicated low practical effectiveness. This study implies that HelloTalk can support Arabic speaking practice as a supplementary medium, but its use should be strengthened through structured teacher guidance, stable internet access, sufficient implementation time, and communicative speaking tasks.

Strengthening Discipline and English Proficiency: EFL Preservice Teachers' Perspectives on Reciting Qur'an with English Translation
Abstract
This study explores EFL preservice teachers' perspectives on reciting the Qur'an with English translation as a strategy to strengthen discipline and English proficiency. Descriptive mixed methods was employed at the English Education Department of UMNU Kebumen, involving 47 preservice teachers from second and fourth semesters. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation over one semester. The findings revealed that students held highly positive perspectives, perceiving the practice as an educational consequence rather than punishment. The activity effectively reduced tardiness frequency, enhanced students' awareness of punctuality, and facilitated internalization of discipline as personal value. Regarding language development, students reported perceived improvements in vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation skills, and recognition of Islamic-English lexical equivalents. The integration of religious values made English learning more meaningful and identity-relevant. All interviewed students expressed intention to implement similar approaches in their future teaching careers with contextual adaptations. This study contributes to the theoretical frameworks of Liberating Discipline Pedagogy, Sociocultural Theory, and CLIL in Pre-Service Teacher Education by demonstrating how religious texts can function as mediational tools for simultaneous behavioral regulation and perceived language development. The findings offer practical implications for English teachers and curriculum developers in Islamic educational contexts.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of Indonesian language literacy and self-confidence on the sales communication skills of students in the Retail Business and Management Program. The primary issue addressed is the importance of strengthening the sales communication competencies of vocational students, which are determined not only by language proficiency but also by the psychological factor of self-confidence. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational-predictive research design. The sample consisted of 100 students enrolled in the Retail Business and Management Program. Data were collected through an Indonesian language literacy test, a self-confidence questionnaire, and a sales communication skills assessment instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression with the assistance of statistical software. The findings indicate that the students' Indonesian language literacy was categorized as high, with a mean score of 78.64, while the mean scores for self-confidence and sales communication skills were 80.12 and 81.36, respectively. The correlation analysis revealed that Indonesian language literacy was positively and significantly associated with sales communication skills (r = 0.621), whereas self-confidence also demonstrated a positive and significant relationship with sales communication skills (r = 0.688). The multiple regression analysis showed that Indonesian language literacy and self-confidence simultaneously exerted a significant influence on sales communication skills (F = 70.12, p < 0.001, R² = 0.591). Partially, self-confidence emerged as the most dominant predictor, with a standardized beta coefficient of 0.519. This study concludes that strengthening Indonesian language literacy and self-confidence is essential for improving the sales communication skills of students in retail vocational education.

Exploring Pragmatic Functions: A Speech Act Analysis of Conversations among Elementary School Students Using Articulate Storyline to Enhance English Speaking
Abstract
The increasing integration of digital tools in education prompts questions about their effectiveness in enhancing key language skills, particularly pragmatic competence. Pragmatic competence refers to the ability to use language appropriately in various social contexts, a skill crucial for effective communication. Despite the growing integration of technology in language learning, there remains a gap in developing students’ ability to use language appropriately in real-life interactions, particularly in non-native English contexts. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the role of Articulate Storyline, an interactive digital tool, in enhancing pragmatic competence among elementary school students (ages 10-12) in Indonesia. Specifically, it investigated how Articulate Storyline can stimulate students’ use of speech acts (locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary acts) in real-word communication settings such as the classroom, library and garden. Research Methodology: The study employed a descriptive qualitative research design, using speech act theory as a framework to analyse the pragmatic functions in students’ conversations. Data was collected from 125 students who engaged with Articulate Storyline in their English language lessons. Conversations were transcribed and analysed to identify the frequency and types of speech acts used in different contexts. The study focuses on how students utilize language in both structured (classroom) and informal (library, garden) settings. Findings: It is indicated that Articulate Storyline significantly enhanced students’ pragmatic competence especially in personal experiences. Conclusion: The study also revealed that conversational context (formal vs informal) played a crucial role in shaping types of speech acts, collaborative, critical and learning engagement.

Learners’ Engagement with Digital Literature in EFL Contexts: A Systematic Literature Review from a Multimodal Perspective
Abstract
This systematic literature review aims to examine how previous studies have investigated learners’ engagement with digital literature in EFL contexts from a multimodal perspective. Existing research has widely discussed digital storytelling, digital multimodal composing, multimodal literacy, and educational technology in English language learning; however, the relationship between digital literature, learner engagement, and multimodal meaning-making remains fragmented. To address this gap, this study reviewed 12 preliminary articles published between 2016 and 2026 from relevant international and Indonesian academic sources, using a systematic review procedure informed by PRISMA 2020 and Zawacki-Richter et al.’s approach to educational systematic reviews. The analysis focused on research demographics, forms of digital literature, dimensions of learner engagement, multimodal elements, benefits, challenges, and research gaps. The findings show that digital storytelling and digital multimodal composing dominate the literature, while other digital literary forms such as interactive fiction, e-poetry, hypertext narratives, fanfiction, and social media-based literature remain underexplored. The review contributes by proposing that EFL learners’ engagement with digital literature should be understood as behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and multimodal participation in meaning-making

Deep Learning Pedagogy, Ethical Awareness, and Critical Digital Literacy in Higher Education: A Systematic Review
Abstract
This systematic literature review examines how deep learning pedagogy influences students’ ethical awareness and critical digital literacy in higher education. Existing research has discussed deep learning, digital literacy, and ethical awareness separately, yet limited attention has been given to how these three constructs intersect as an integrated pedagogical concern in university learning. To address this gap, the review analyzed 16 articles published between 2016 and 2026, selected from Scopus, ERIC, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis Online, and SINTA 1 and 2 journals. The review followed systematic review procedures informed by Zawacki-Richter et al. and PRISMA 2020, with analysis focused on publication trends, countries, research methods, conceptualizations, pedagogical strategies, and research gaps. The findings show that deep learning pedagogy is commonly associated with student-centered learning, higher-order thinking, reflection, problem-solving, and authentic digital inquiry. Its influence is more evident in critical digital literacy than in ethical awareness, although recent AI ethics studies show growing attention to academic integrity, moral sensitivity, and responsible technology use. The novelty of this review lies in synthesizing deep learning pedagogy as a potential pathway for developing ethically aware and critically literate university students in digital higher education

Digital Translanguaging in EFL Learning: A Systematic Literature Review
Abstract
This systematic literature review examines how translanguaging is used in digital platforms for EFL learning, with specific attention to pedagogical practices, multimodal resources, and learner engagement. Existing research has increasingly discussed translanguaging in multilingual classrooms and digital learning environments, yet the relationship among platform use, instructional practice, multimodal meaning-making, and learner participation remains fragmented. To address this gap, the study reviewed selected articles published between 2016 and 2026 from Scopus, ERIC, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis, and SINTA 1 and 2 journals. The review followed the principles of systematic literature review in educational research and was guided by PRISMA 2020 procedures, including identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and thematic synthesis. The findings show that digital translanguaging appears across online English teaching videos, hybrid courses, remote learning platforms, social media, AI-assisted tools, telecollaboration, and digital storytelling. Translanguaging functions as pedagogical scaffolding, interactional support, identity expression, and learner agency. The novelty of this review lies in integrating digital platforms, multimodal resources, and learner engagement into one analytical framework for understanding translanguaging in EFL learning.

Students’ Perceptions of Difficulties in Learning Basic Kanji at Pakuan University and Darma Persada University
Abstract
This study aims to examine the perceptions of Japanese Literature students at Pakuan University and Darma Persada University regarding the difficulties encountered in learning basic-level kanji. Kanji is a type of character originating from China that was introduced to Japan. It is also one of the subjects often considered a daunting and most challenging obstacle for Japanese language learners, particularly beginner students. The difficulties in learning kanji are generally caused by the students' background as users of the Roman alphabet (romaji), which poses challenges when studying kanji. This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collection techniques utilizing a Likert scale distributed via Google Forms to students from both universities. The research participants consisted of 31 students from the Japanese Literature Study Program at Pakuan University and 54 students from the Japanese Language and Culture Study Program at Darma Persada University who had completed the basic kanji course. The results indicated that students experienced primary difficulties in memorizing kanji forms and meanings, distinguishing between onyomi and kunyomi, and applying kanji within the context of jukugo (compound kanji). Furthermore, learning strategies, motivational factors, and the support of the kanji instructional materials used also influenced students' difficulties in learning kanji. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more effective kanji learning strategies and serve as constructive input for educators in determining basic-level kanji learning models.

Abstract
This study examined the partial and simultaneous statistical effects of digital literacy and responsible generative artificial intelligence utilization on vocational students’ academic writing skills. A quantitative explanatory-correlational approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed. The sample comprised 100 students from five vocational study programs selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using two 10-item Likert questionnaires measuring digital literacy and generative artificial intelligence utilization, together with a source-based academic essay performance test assessed using an analytic rubric. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were applied. Digital literacy had a positive and significant statistical effect on academic writing skills (B = 6.413; β = 0.334; p < 0.001). Generative artificial intelligence utilization also had a positive and significant effect and provided a stronger relative contribution (B = 9.097; β = 0.494; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both predictors produced F(2,97) = 42.013; p < 0.001 and explained 46.4% of the variance. These findings indicated that vocational students’ academic writing development required the integration of digital literacy and critical, ethical, and responsible artificial intelligence practices in writing instruction and institutional policy.

Improving Constructing Child Friendly School Culture Through Symbolic Interaction
- Child-Friendly School
- Constructivist Grounded Theory
- School Culture
- Stakeholder Meaning-Making
- Symbolic Interactionism
Abstract
School culture is not a static institutional given but a dynamic social achievement produced and reproduced through the everyday interpretive interactions of all stakeholders: teachers, students, parents, and administrators. This article investigates how the concept of "child-friendly culture" is socially constructed, negotiated, and internalized as a living school culture within Indonesian Child-Friendly Schools (Sekolah Ramah Anak/SRA). Drawing on a qualitative case study conducted at SMA Swasta Harapan Mandiri Medan, an officially SRA, designated school in a multicultural urban context, the article applies the theoretical framework of Constructivist Symbolic Interactionism as elaborated by Herbert Blumer (1969), Kathy Charmaz (2014), and Norman K. Denzin (2019). This integrated framework attends to three dimensions of meaning-making: the symbolic interactions through which "child-friendly" meanings are communicated and shared; the constructivist processes through which these meanings are shaped by actors' reflexive engagement with their social contexts and lived experiences; and the interpretive flexibility through which different stakeholder groups construct divergent yet interrelated understandings of what child-friendly school culture means in practice. Data collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation of school cultural routines, and documentary analysis reveal that "child-friendly culture" is most authentically enacted not through formal policy compliance but through the accumulated symbolic practices of daily school life. The article argues that school culture literacy, the capacity of educational actors to reflectively understand, critically evaluate, and actively shape the symbolic environment of their school, is a precondition for genuine SRA implementation.

Media Framing of Children's Rights, Discrimination, and Prevention Efforts in the Educational Environment
Abstract
Children's rights are fundamental human rights that must be protected. However, violations in the form of bullying and discrimination within educational environments remain a serious problem in Indonesia. This study analyzes media framing of children's rights issues, discrimination, and bullying prevention efforts in Indonesian educational settings using a qualitative descriptive case study approach and Entman’s (1993) framing model. Primary data from national media outlets (Kompas, Saibumi, MetroTVNews, Liputan6, RRI, and Alodokter) covering the period of August to November 2025 show a significant increase in bullying cases, from 285 cases in 2023 to 573 cases in 2024. Physical bullying dominated (55.5%), followed by verbal bullying (29.3%), with cyberbullying also rising sharply by 100%. The media define bullying as a violation of children's rights to protection and a safe education. They diagnose its causes as the lack of school supervision, tolerant norms toward discrimination (based on gender, socio-economic status, and identity), and the influence of social media. In moral judgments, the media portray victims as the vulnerable party and institutions such as KPAI and Komnas PA as defenders of children's rights, while schools and parents are viewed as ethically failing. The recommended solutions include holistic prevention through inclusive curricula, teacher training, psychological support, and child-friendly policies in line with the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and Law No. 35 of 2014. This framing influences public opinion and policy responses toward creating a discrimination-free educational environment.

Transforming Vocational Education Financing Governance through Performance-Based Hybrid Financing in Lampung Province
Abstract
This study analyzes the transformation of vocational education financing governance through performance-based and BLUD-based hybrid financing in Lampung Province. Using a descriptive qualitative design with a multisite case study approach, this study examined three vocational institutions with different governance characteristics: non-BLUD, developing BLUD, and large-scale BLUD schools. Data were collected through policy documents, school financial planning documents, institutional profiles, and relevant secondary data, and were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model. The findings show that conventional financing remains highly dependent on government allocations and community contributions, creating fiscal vulnerability after the abolition of school committee fees. BLUD status strengthens financial autonomy by enabling schools to retain and reinvest revenue generated through Teaching Factory activities, industry partnerships, and production-based learning units. However, the effectiveness of this model depends on entrepreneurial leadership, performance-based budgeting, industrial collaboration, and digital accountability through ARKAS and SIPLah. This study implies that regional governments should accelerate BLUD readiness, strengthen vocational school financial management capacity, and develop hybrid financing policies that maintain a balance between institutional revenue generation, educational equity, and graduate quality improvement.

Analysis of the Factors Contributing to High School Dropout Rates (A Review from the Perspective of Educational Management)
Abstract
The high dropout rate remains a serious challenge in educational development due to the complexity of social, economic, psychological, and educational governance factors influencing it. This study aims to analyze the factors causing school dropouts from the perspective of educational management and to evaluate the effectiveness of school governance in preventing dropout cases. The study employed a qualitative approach with an interpretive paradigm and a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, documentation, and school archive studies, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through data reduction, data display, thematic coding, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that family economic conditions, low learning motivation, weak family support, psychological pressure, social environment, and limited access to education are the dominant factors contributing to school dropouts. From the educational management perspective, student monitoring, counseling services, and early dropout detection systems have not been implemented optimally or sustainably. The study concludes that strengthening student retention-based educational governance, preventive counseling services, and collaboration among schools, families, and communities are essential strategies for sustainably reducing dropout rates.

Interactive Media Innovation in Social Studies Learning to Support Pancasila Student Profile in Elementary Schools
Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the implementation of interactive media in social studies learning to support the development of the Pancasila Student Profile in elementary schools. Previous studies have highlighted the lack of student engagement in traditional social studies learning, yet few have explored the integration of interactive media specifically targeted at the Pancasila Student Profile dimensions. To fill this gap, this research utilized a qualitative descriptive approach conducted at an elementary school involving 25 fourth-grade students. Data were collected systematically through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, and learning documentation. The results showed that the use of interactive media—such as animated learning videos, digital quizzes, and interactive educational applications—significantly improved students' engagement and conceptual understanding. Active student participation increased from 36% to 72%, and learning mastery improved from 40% to 68%. Furthermore, the implementation strongly supported key dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile, specifically critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and global diversity awareness. The study concludes that integrating interactive media in social studies learning effectively enhances learning quality, transforms passive learning environments into active ones, and successfully supports holistic curriculum goals in elementary education.

This study explores the challenges and opportunities of using TikTok as a learning medium at SMK Yuppentek 2, a vocational high school in Tangerang, Indonesia, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten informants, supported by observation and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model with source and method triangulation. The findings show that students mainly perceive TikTok as an entertainment platform. The main challenges include algorithm-driven distractions, limited depth of short-form content, unequal internet access, and the lack of systematic classroom integration. Despite these limitations, TikTok supports vocational skill demonstrations, self-directed learning, creativity, digital literacy, and school promotion. Viewed through the distinction between gratifications sought and gratifications obtained, the findings indicate that TikTok's educational value depends on its ability to meet students' learning motivations and expectations. Therefore, TikTok has the potential to serve as a complementary learning medium in vocational education when supported by appropriate instructional strategies.

- systematic literature review
Abstract
This study aims to systematically review the implementation of social constructivism-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in mathematics education at the senior high school level over the past five years. The review focuses on the forms of PjBL implementation, types of projects, characteristics of student products, project authenticity, meaningfulness, relevance to classroom time constraints, and proposed solutions. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method was employed by analyzing twenty-two articles retrieved from Google Scholar, DOAJ, ERIC, and SINTA databases. The article selection process followed the PRISMA framework, including identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages, and the data were analyzed using a thematic approach. The findings indicate that PjBL generally aligns with social constructivist principles through collaborative activities and social interaction. However, most projects remain dominated by academic and symbolic products, such as reports and presentations, with authenticity levels categorized as low to moderate. Furthermore, limited instructional time and teachers' readiness emerge as major challenges. This review highlights a significant research gap in developing authentic and meaningful mathematics projects that support deep learning and the achievement of advanced-level competencies, providing a novel epistemological perspective on how social constructivism is practically translated into project designs.
