RELATIONSHIP OF SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-EFFICACY WITH SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN LOW-INCOME STUDENTS
type: item
description: Subjective well-being among vocational high school students from low socio-economic backgrounds represents a critical issue in vocational education, as it is closely related to psychological readiness, learning motivation, and academic adjustment. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-esteem and self-efficacy with subjective well-being among vocational high school students from low socio-economic families. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The participants consisted of 250 vocational high school students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through subjective well-being, self-esteem, and self-efficacy questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using parametric statistical techniques, including correlation and multiple regression analyses. The results indicated that self-esteem had a positive and significant relationship with subjective well-being. Similarly, self-efficacy was found to have a positive and significant relationship with subjective well-being. Simultaneously, self-esteem and self-efficacy significantly contributed to students’ subjective well-being. These findings suggest that internal psychological factors play an essential role in shaping students’ subjective well-being, particularly among those facing socio-economic constraints. This study highlights the importance of strengthening self-esteem and self-efficacy through school-based guidance and counseling services as a strategic effort to enhance the subjective well-being of vocational high school students from low socio-economic backgrounds. The findings are expected to provide empirical evidence for the development of more contextual and sustainable psychological intervention programs in vocational education settings.

INTEGRATING PAI VALUES INTO THE PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING MODEL TO STRENGTHEN RELIGIOUS CHARACTER
type: item
description: This study examines the integration of Islamic Religious Education values into the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model as an effective pedagogical approach in shaping the religious character of students. The method used in this study is a literature review, which includes an analysis of literature related to the application of PBL and IRE values. The results indicate that through learning focused on contextual problem-solving, active participation, and reflection on Islamic values, students not only enhance their intellectual skills but also experience a deep internalization of spiritual values. The PBL model creates a collaborative, transformative, and meaningful learning environment, making the development of religious character a practical reality in daily life. Therefore, the systematic integration of PAI values and PBL is essential to address the challenges of character education in the complex and digital modern era.

type: item
description: This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Talking Stick learning model in creating a pleasant learning atmosphere in Grade VII of MTs Ma'arif NU 09 Kutawis Purbalingga.

THE ROLE OF PAI LEARNING IN SHAPING STUDENTS' RELIGIOUS CHARACTER IN THE DIGITAL AGE: INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED MEDIA
type: item
description: In the digital age marked by advances in information technology, PAI learning plays an important role in shaping students' religious character. This study aims to explore how the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-based media can improve the effectiveness of PAI learning and support the development of students' religious character. The methods used in this study are literature review and qualitative analysis of various relevant sources. The results of the study indicate that the application of AI can enhance students' engagement in cognitive, affective, and behavioral aspects, which positively impacts the cultivation of religious character. However, the use of AI must be supported by a strong Islamic value and ethical framework, content monitoring, and teacher involvement as moral role models. With an integrative and targeted learning model, the combination of PAI and AI-based media can be an effective strategy to address the challenges of the digital age and strengthen students' religious identity sustainably.

RELIGIOUS CHARACTER EDUCATION IN SHAPING STUDENTS' PERSONALITIES
type: item
description: Religious character education plays a crucial role in shaping students' personalities in an increasingly complex era of globalization. This study aims to explore how religious character education can be implemented in formal and non-formal education contexts and its impact on students' character development. The method used in this study is a literature review, which involves analyzing various sources, including books, journal articles, and educational policy documents.

IMPLEMENTATION OF AL-GHAZALI'S CONCEPT OF MORAL EDUCATION AT THE TAHFIDZ AN-NABA ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL, SURO, BANYUMAS
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the implementation of Al-Ghazali’s moral education concept at Tahfidz An-Naba Islamic Boarding School, Suro, Banyumas. Al-Ghazali is one of the most influential figures in Islamic thought who emphasized that moral education is the essence of education. Tahfidz An-Naba was chosen as the research site due to its strong commitment to character building among students. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method using field studies and documentation. The findings reveal that the pesantren applies Al-Ghazali’s moral education concept through seven main methods: mujahadah (spiritual struggle), riyadhah (spiritual training), exemplary role models, habituation, advice and counsel, storytelling, and rewards. Supporting factors include parental support and strong cooperation between teachers and mentors, while obstacles include weak internal communication, the diverse backgrounds of students, and the influence of digital devices. Overall, the implementation of Al-Ghazali’s moral education concept is considered effective in fostering noble character (akhlaqul karimah) among the students.

APPLICATION OF BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING MODELING TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE THE SELF-CONFIDENCE OF STUDENTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES IN SOPPENG
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of applying behavioral counseling with modeling techniques to improve the self-confidence of eleventh-grade students with intellectual disabilities at SLB As’Adiyah Cabenge, Soppeng Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach with an A-B-A-B Single Subject Research (SSR) experimental design. Data collection techniques involved observation sheets in the form of a checklist assessment scale during the experiment (Baseline B1-B2) intervention when applying behavioral counseling techniques with modeling techniques. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, both within and between conditions. The results showed that the application of behavioral counseling with modeling techniques had a significant impact on increasing the self-confidence of students with intellectual disabilities. This was evident from the increase in scores during the intervention phase (B1) compared to the initial baseline phase (A1), as well as the stability of scores in the final baseline phase (A2), indicating that the intervention effect was sustainable. Repeated intervention in phase (B2) also showed higher score increases compared to baseline phase 2 (A2). There were clear changes between baseline A1, intervention B1, baseline A2, and intervention B2. At baseline A1, students showed low self-confidence (average score 50), but then increased to 55.7–72 in the B1 intervention phase. The sustainability of the intervention effect was observed in the baseline A2 phase, where the obtained score of 55.7 increased to 61.5. Subsequently, the intervention (B2) was repeated, resulting in a score increase from 61.5 to 75. Thus, this intervention was effective in increasing the self-confidence of students with intellectual disabilities at SLB As’Adiyah Cabenge, Soppeng Regency.

DEVELOPMENT OF PERISAI DIRI DIGITAL COMICS BASED ON SIRI' NA PACCE CULTURE TO PREVENT HARASSMENT
type: item
description: Study aims to develop the “Perisai Diri” digital comic, based on the Siri’ Na Pacce cultural values, to prevent sexual harassment among students at UPT SPF SMP Negeri 5 Makassar. Sexual harassment is any form of sexually connotative act carried out without the consent of the other party or through coercion. Therefore, there is a need for effective information service media that can deliver educational messages to both victims and potential perpetrators, incorporating strong local cultural values in an engaging format. The main focus of this study includes four aspects: (1) identifying the needs for developing the “Perisai Diri” digital comic based on Siri’ Na Pacce culture, (2) designing the prototype of the comic, (3) assessing the validity of the media, and (4) assessing the practicality of the media. The research employed a modified Borg & Gall development model, consisting of seven stages: preliminary study, initial design planning, prototype development, expert validation, product revision, limited trials, and refinement. Data were collected through questionnaires, expert validation sheets, and instruments for measuring practicality and effectiveness. The findings show that the “Perisai Diri” digital comic is considered highly necessary and relevant by students and guidance counselors. The media proved effective and practical in supporting digital guidance and counseling services. Therefore, the “Perisai Diri” digital comic is recommended as an innovative medium that can effectively address students’ needs, particularly in preventing sexual harassment.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FEAR OF MISSING OUT (FOMO) AND SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT AMONG STUDENTS AT SEMARANG STATE UNIVERSITY
type: item
description: Rapid technological advances coupled with high mobile connectivity have driven an increase in social media usage, particularly among students. This is because students are in the emerging adulthood phase, a transitional phase from late adolescence to early adulthood, during which social media is often used to support developmental tasks. However, intensive social media use also poses risks to mental health, one of which is the emergence of the phenomenon known as fear of missing out (FoMO). FoMO drives the urge to stay constantly connected to social media, potentially leading to excessive digital consumption patterns. This study aims to analyze the relationship between fear of missing out (FoMO) and social media engagement among students at Semarang State University as a basis for formulating strategies to optimize social media use and prevent its negative impacts. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational research design, and the data analysis technique used was simple linear regression. The population in this study consisted of 375 students selected using proportional stratified random sampling. The instruments used included the Fear of Missing Out Scale: FoMOs and the Social Media Engagement Scale for Adolescents (SMES-A). Data analysis revealed a positive correlation between fear of missing out and social media engagement, with values of R = 0.952, R² = 0.907, and B = 0.721. These results indicate that an increase in fear of missing out influences students' social media engagement. This finding underscores the importance of interventions that promote healthy and proportional use of social media.

ANALYSIS OF THE NEEDS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF PAI STUDENTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE BASED ON THE MERDEKA CURRICULUM
type: item
description: Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in the digital era faces serious challenges due to fundamental shifts in the characteristics and learning needs of students who are increasingly immersed in digital ecosystems. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and learning needs of PAI students in the digital era as a basis for developing Merdeka Curriculum-based learning designs. A qualitative approach was employed using library research method through content analysis of relevant scientific literature. The findings reveal that PAI students in the digital era are characterized as digital natives with visual and interactive learning preferences; they require contextual content, varied digital media, active-collaborative methods, and differentiated approaches. The learning environment is marked by opportunities such as expanded access and gamification, while simultaneously threatened by digital distraction and unverified religious content. Based on these findings, a responsive PAI learning design under the Merdeka Curriculum can be constructed upon five core principles: differentiated learning, pedagogical technology integration, Pancasila Student Profile reinforcement, Islamic project-based learning, and authentic digital assessment.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of game-based Joyful Learning in enhancing students’ motivation and learning activeness in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMP Negeri 2 Sumber, Cirebon Regency. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-associative design was employed to measure the effect of Game-Based Learning on both dependent variables. The research sample consisted of 76 ninth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, observations, and open interviews, and analyzed using MANOVA with SPSS version 25.0. The results revealed that game-based Joyful Learning had a significant and strong effect on students’ learning motivation (η² = 0.730) and activeness (η² = 0.754). Multivariate analysis further confirmed a simultaneous significant effect (Sig. = 0.000) between both variables. The approach successfully fostered an interactive, enjoyable, and meaningful learning environment, encouraging students’ cognitive, affective, and social engagement. This study concludes that game-based Joyful Learning is an effective strategy to enhance the quality of Islamic Religious Education in the digital era.

“I AM ALSO ALLOWED TO BE TIRED”: A CASE STUDY OF THE PERSON-CENTERED APPROACH IN THE FIRST DAUGHTER WHO FEELS BURDENED BY HER PARENTS' EXPECTATIONS
type: item
description: This study aims to describe the psychological dynamics and changes in emotion regulation of a first-born adolescent girl who feels burdened by parental expectations through a Person-Centered approach. The research employed a qualitative single case study design. The participant was an eighth-grade female student experiencing pressure to remain strong and serve as a role model for her siblings. Data were collected through four individual counseling sessions using semi-structured interviews, observation, and anecdotal records, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Findings indicate that initially the participant suppressed her emotions to maintain a strong self-image. Throughout the counseling process, she gradually developed awareness of her emotional needs and shifted toward more open self-acceptance. The changes occurred gradually and remained influenced by ongoing family dynamics.

REALIZING SUSTAINABLE ISLAMIC EDUCATION THROUGH AN INCLUSIVE INTEGRATIVE PROGRAM AT SD NEGERI 2 KARANGNANGKA BUKATEJA PURBALINGGA
type: item
description: This article aims to examine and formulate strategies for the implementation of sustainable Islamic education through an integrative and inclusive program approach at SD Negeri 2 Karangnangka Bukateja Purbalingga. Islamic education plays a central role in shaping the character of students from an early age, but its implementation is often fragmented and fails to address the reality of diversity in the school environment. An inclusive integrative program is seen as a strategic approach that integrates religious material with social, cultural, and diversity values, as well as accommodating the needs of all students, including those with special needs. The method used in this study is qualitative with a case study approach at schools that have implemented inclusive principles in Islamic Religious Education. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The expected result is the formation of an integrative and inclusive Islamic Religious Education model or framework that is not only academically relevant but also applicable in the context of basic learning. Thus, this article is expected to contribute to the development of a more equitable, sustainable, and diversity-oriented education system.

DETERMINANT FACTORS OF CAREER READINESS IN URBAN STUDENTS: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING SERVICES
type: item
description: Career readiness has become a critical issue in the global era; however, there is still a lack of research that specifically focuses on the context of urban students who face unique social, economic, and educational dynamics compared to students in other regions. This study aims to identify the determining factors of career readiness, evaluate the effectiveness of career guidance services, and examine the role of school counselors (BK teachers) in enhancing the career readiness of urban students. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing 20 relevant scientific publications using the PRISMA protocol. The results indicate that internal determinants of career readiness include interest, self-efficacy, motivation, discipline, career expectations, and future orientation. External factors encompass internship experiences, industrial work practices, career guidance services, the role of BK teachers, and access to labor market information. The effectiveness of career guidance services lies in preventive and responsive interventions, supported by the role of BK teachers as facilitators who provide access to real-world experiences and strategic networks with industry and educational institutions to strengthen career readiness. This study recommends that BK teachers implement digital media-based modeling techniques in group guidance services. Future research is encouraged to utilize qualitative and quantitative methods to further explore the determinants of career readiness and the effectiveness of career guidance services for urban students.

THE APPLICATION OF COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL COUNSELING USING SELF-RESTRUCTURING TECHNIQUES FOR STUDENTS WHO SPEAK IN PUBLIC AT STATE HIGH SCHOOL 12 IN EAST LUWU
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the application of Cognitive Behavioral Counseling with Cognitive Restructuring Techniques in increasing students' confidence in public speaking at SMA Negeri 12 Luwu Timur. Specifically, this research sought to understand the overview of students' confidence before and after the intervention, as well as how the cognitive behavioral counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques was implemented. A quantitative approach with a Quasi-experimental design model and a nonequivalent control group design was used in this study. The research population consisted of 71 ninth-grade students, with a sample of 20 students divided into an experimental group and a control group, each comprising 10 students, selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using public speaking confidence scale instruments and observation guidelines, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon test. The research results indicate that at the pretest stage, the public speaking confidence level of students in both groups (experimental and control) was in the low category. However, after the intervention, the experimental group's confidence level showed a significant increase, reaching a very high category in the posttest, while the control group remained in the low category. The implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Counseling with Cognitive Restructuring Techniques was carried out through five structured stages: rational treatment, analysis of the counselee's thoughts, introduction and practice of coping thoughts (CT), shifting from negative thoughts to CT, and positive reinforcement and evaluation. Student participation during this process was recorded as high. The significant difference between the two groups indicates that the application of Cognitive Behavioral Counseling with Cognitive Restructuring Techniques is effective in increasing students' confidence in public speaking.

description: Islamic Religious Education (IRE) plays a strategic role in instilling moral values and shaping the character of young children. Early childhood is a golden period in a child’s personality development, thus requiring a learning approach that aligns with their psychological characteristics and developmental stages. This study aims to examine the role of Islamic Religious Education in instilling moral values in young children through a developmental psychology approach, as well as to analyze the implementation of PAI instruction, the roles of teachers and parents, and their impact on children’s moral behavior. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive qualitative research design. The research was conducted at Wadi Fatimah Islamic Kindergarten, Kedawung Subdistrict, Cirebon Regency, with the research subjects being classroom teachers and parents of students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed descriptively to obtain a comprehensive picture of the process and results of instilling moral values in children. The research results indicate that the implementation of Islamic Religious Education through habit formation, modeling, and contextual learning activities is capable of positively shaping children’s moral behavior. The developmental psychology approach helps children understand moral values through concrete experiences and behavioral reinforcement. Additionally, collaboration between teachers and parents has proven to play a crucial role in strengthening the internalization of moral values in children, both at school and within the family environment.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GROUP GUIDANCE WITH COGNITIVE RESTRUCTURING TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE ACCEPTANCE OF TRADITION IN STUDENTS
type: item
description: This study aims to increase students' acceptance of tradition at SMA Negeri 1 Mejobo Kudus, through group guidance services with cognitive restructuring techniques. Tradition plays an important role in the formation of character, morals, and collective identity, but globalization and modernization have led to a decline in the participation and appreciation of the younger generation towards tradition. This study uses a quantitative approach with a One Group Pre-test Post-test design involving 8 students as a sample selected by stratified random sampling. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test show a significant increase in the acceptance score towards tradition from an average of 103.125 (low category) to 184.125 (very high category), with a significance value of 0.012 <0.05. So it can be concluded that group guidance services with cognitive restructuring techniques are effective in changing students' negative mindsets towards tradition to be more positive and rational, thereby increasing students' involvement and appreciation of traditional values.

SUPERVISION OF THE “PALEMBANG CERDAS” EDUCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OF BAZNAS, PALEMBANG CITY, 2021–2023
type: item
description: Education is a fundamental right for every citizen and a crucial factor in human development. To broaden learning access for children from low‑income families, BAZNAS of Palembang City launched the “Palembang Cerdas” education assistance program. This study evaluates the program’s implementation effectiveness, its oversight mechanisms, and the challenges encountered during the 2021‑2023 period. The methodology includes literature review, field observation, in‑depth interviews with beneficiaries and BAZNAS officials, and analysis of administrative documents. Findings show that applying the principles of right targeting, right purpose, right quantity, right timing, and right administration enhanced transparency and accountability in the allocation of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah funds, resulting in a significant increase in scholarships disbursed and a reduction of educational disparity in Palembang. However, three major obstacles were identified: (1) limited human resources, (2) an administrative system that is not yet fully digitized, and (3) sub‑optimal inter‑institutional coordination. Recommendations include strengthening human‑resource capacity through specialized training, implementing a real‑time, dashboard‑driven information system, and deepening collaboration with local government, educational institutions, and the private sector. Implementing these suggestions is expected to not only improve the quality and equity of education in Palembang but also position “Palembang Cerdas” as a replicable model for similar education assistance programs nationwide.

EXPLORING ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL VALUES IN THE TRADITION OF TOMB VISITATION: A CASE STUDY IN TANJUNG MENANG MUSI VILLAGE, RANTAU BAYUR DISTRICT, BANYUASIN REGENCY
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the Islamic educational values embedded in the ziarah kubur (grave visitation) tradition practiced by the community of Tanjung Menang Musi Village, Rantau Bayur District, Banyuasin Regency. This tradition is not merely a religious ritual but also serves as a medium of social and spiritual learning that contributes to the moral and character formation of the community. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings reveal four main dimensions of Islamic educational values within the ziarah kubur tradition: (1) the religious dimension, which cultivates faith in Allah and awareness of mortality; (2) the moral and ethical dimension, which fosters humility, sincerity, and respect for ancestors; (3) the socio-educational dimension, which strengthens brotherhood, cooperation, and social responsibility; and (4) the internalization dimension, which transforms these values into daily religious and communal practices. These results affirm that local Islamic traditions can serve as effective forms of non-formal Islamic education, consistent with Albert Bandura’s social learning theory and Thomas Lickona’s character education theory. Thus, the ziarah kubur tradition functions as a form of cultural da’wah that integrates spiritual, moral, and social aspects within the framework of Islamic education in the community.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
type: item
description: Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in the 21st century is required not only to transfer religious knowledge but also to holistically develop students' critical thinking skills and 21st-century competencies. However, the reality in the field shows that PAI learning is still dominated by conventional methods that are less capable of optimally developing students' critical thinking abilities and 21st-century skills. This study aims to: (1) describe the planning and implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) in PAI; (2) analyze the development of 21st-century skills through PjBL in PAI; (3) examine the improvement of students' critical thinking skills through PjBL in PAI; and (4) analyze the relevance of PjBL to Islamic values and student character formation. This study employs a qualitative approach with a library research design, collecting and analyzing reputable national and international journal articles published between 2020 and 2025. The results show that the implementation of PjBL in PAI is proven effective in developing 21st-century skills including critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, while simultaneously internalizing Islamic values and forming students' character holistically and sustainably. PjBL is a highly relevant learning model and is recommended to be consistently applied in PAI learning at various educational levels.

THE “SEDEKAH BUMI” LOCAL WISDOM APPROACH TO HELPING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS UNDERSTAND CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUES
type: item
description: Climate change has become an urgent global issue, while elementary school students’ understanding and actions regarding this issue remain limited. Learning in schools tends to be theoretical and has not yet integrated contextual local values. This study aims to develop a learning design based on the local wisdom of Sedekah Bumi to enhance students’ understanding of climate change and to foster environmental care character. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using a design research model, involving 20 fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Gedongboyountung. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that integrating Sedekah Bumi values improves students’ conceptual understanding of climate change and promotes attitudes of mutual cooperation, responsibility, and environmental awareness. The learning process becomes more contextual, meaningful, and enjoyable. The findings support the integration of local wisdom into environmental education curricula to create sustainable learning that is relevant to the Indonesian cultural context.

THE PRINCIPAL’S STRATEGY FOR MOTIVATING TEACHERS’ SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING AT SD IT RAUDHATUL JANNAH IN TALANG UBI DISTRICT, PALI REGENCY
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the principal’s strategies in motivating teachers’ self-directed learning at SD IT Raudhatul Jannah, Talang Ubi District, PALI Regency. This research employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The research informants included the principal, teachers, the school committee, and educational staff. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the principal’s strategies in motivating teachers’ self-directed learning are implemented systematically based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The fulfillment of physiological needs is carried out by creating a comfortable and supportive working environment. Safety needs are addressed through a supportive psychological climate, open communication, and a family-oriented working relationship. Social needs are fulfilled through the development of a collaborative culture, teacher forums, and professional learning communities. Esteem needs are met through material and non-material appreciation, which enhances teachers’ self-confidence and intrinsic motivation. Furthermore, self-actualization needs are reflected in teachers’ increased awareness, initiative, innovation, and continuous reflection in self-directed learning. Supporting factors include supportive and visionary leadership, a conducive school culture, adequate facilities, and teachers’ commitment to professionalism. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors consist of limited time due to administrative workload, differences in technological literacy, and the suboptimal follow-up of training outcomes.

PATTERNS OF TEACHERS’ INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ISLAMIC CHARACTER BUILDING AT THE INSAN MULIA RABBANI INTEGRATED ISLAMIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE TALANG UBI DISTRICT
type: item
description: This research examines Teacher Interpersonal Communication Patterns in the Management of Islamic Character Development at Insan Mulia Rabbani Integrated Elementary School in Talang Ubi District. The study aims to explore the interpersonal communication methods of educators and the management tactics used in instilling Islamic character, particularly through the core activities of Islamic Personal Development (Bina Pribadi Islami/BPI). Information collection utilized triangulation (in-depth interviews, observation, and document review). Data analysis was conducted inductively and interactively, encompassing data condensation to identify key points, structured presentation of findings, and drawing valid conclusions. The main conclusion indicates that verbal interactions between teachers and students are highly flexible and personal, emphasizing exemplary behavior (uswah hasanah) and adapting the language of advice. Key management tactics include the implementation of graduated sanctions and the alignment of school values ​​with the family environment through the Amal Yaumiyah program. Although the strategy has been implemented, crucial obstacles have emerged, such as the limited time allocated for BPI and minimal parental participation (approximately 20%). Based on these findings, the study suggests improving resources and establishing a more flexible communication approach, aimed at strengthening internal coordination and increasing the active role of external parties for the sustainability of character building.

type: item
description: This research evaluates the Islamic Education (PAI) curriculum management at SDN 32 Talang Ubi PALI using the CIPP model. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative descriptive data from 175 respondents. Context evaluation (criteria: background, problems, opportunities) scored 16.14%, revealing a vision-practice gap despite management's openness to integrating Islamic values into Kurikulum Merdeka. Input (criteria: teacher competence/readiness) scored 20.21%, revealing digital proficiency but hindered by non-integrated modules, the lack of child protection SOPs, and the absence of a prayer room (mushola). Process (criteria: procedures, methods, supervision) scored 23.99%, indicating inclusive activities though still lecture-dominant, with weak physical documentation and low parental synergy (9.15%). Product (criteria: cognitive, affective, psychomotor) scored 19.99%, noting good learning outcomes, yet character habituation remains inconsistent and lacks independent worship monitoring tools. Overall, curriculum management is categorized as Good (80.33%). Recommendations include building a prayer room, formalizing child protection policies, optimizing gamification, and developing a worship monitoring app to maintain character continuity between school and home.

description: This study examines the effect of compensation on work discipline and teacher performance at MTs Al Azhar Center Baturaja. The research is grounded in the issue of high disciplinary expectations imposed on teachers despite relatively limited financial compensation, which may affect their professional performance and institutional sustainability. The objectives of this study are: (1) to analyze the effect of compensation on teachers’ work discipline, (2) to determine the effect of work discipline on teacher performance, and (3) to examine the direct effect of compensation on teacher performance. This research employed a quantitative approach using a verificative survey design. Data were analyzed through simple linear regression, t-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The findings indicate that compensation has a positive and statistically significant effect on work discipline (t = 10.885; p < 0.05; R² = 0.656). Work discipline also has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance (t = 8.380; p < 0.05; R² = 0.531). Furthermore, compensation directly and significantly influences teacher performance (t = 5.796; p < 0.05; R² = 0.351). These findings suggest that fair and adequate financial compensation strengthens teachers’ discipline and enhances their pedagogical performance. Therefore, effective compensation management is a strategic factor in improving and sustaining teacher performance in Islamic educational institutions.

THE ROLE OF SCHOOL COMMITTEES IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE TANAH ABANG SUBDISTRICT, PALI REGENCY
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the role of School Committees in improving the quality of educational services in public elementary schools across Tanah Abang District, Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency. This qualitative research employed a multiple-case study design involving three public elementary schools. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, limited participant observation, and document analysis. The analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, enriched with pattern matching and cross-case analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the implementation of school committee roles remains largely administrative and symbolic. The advisory function is procedural rather than deliberative; supporting is incidental rather than strategic; controlling is constrained by limited capacity and transparency; and mediating lacks institutionalization. Drawing on public value governance and co-production perspectives, educational service quality requires institutional capacity building, transparency mechanisms, deliberative planning, and participatory evaluation forums. The study proposes an Integrative School Committee–Service Quality Model positioning the committee as a co-producer of educational service quality.

INTEGRATING ETHICS, REASON, AND SOCIETY: A COMPARATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW OF EDUCATIONAL THOUGHT IN AL-GHAZALI, AL-FARABI, AND IBN KHALDUN
type: item
description: This study examines the educational thought of classical Islamic scholars—Al-Ghazali, Al-Farabi, and Ibn Khaldun—and its relevance to contemporary Islamic education. The research employs a literature review approach by analyzing scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2025 retrieved from Google Scholar with active DOI references. The analysis focuses on identifying the key educational concepts proposed by these thinkers and exploring how their ideas contribute to the philosophical foundations of Islamic education. The findings reveal that classical Islamic educational thought emphasizes a holistic approach to human development that integrates moral, intellectual, and social dimensions. Al-Ghazali highlights the importance of moral and spiritual education through the cultivation of character and ethical values. Al-Farabi emphasizes rational inquiry and philosophical understanding as the foundation for building virtuous citizens and a harmonious society. Meanwhile, Ibn Khaldun introduces a sociological perspective that links education with cultural transmission and the development of civilization. The synthesis of these perspectives demonstrates that classical Islamic educational philosophy offers an integrative framework that remains relevant for addressing contemporary educational challenges. Therefore, revisiting the educational ideas of these scholars can provide valuable insights for developing a balanced and holistic model of Islamic education in modern contexts.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMPATHY AND BULLYING BEHAVIOR IN SMKN STUDENTS IN WEST CIKARANG
type: item
description: This study aims to obtain an overview of the level of empathy and its relationship with bullying behavior in students of State Vocational High School (SMKN) in West Cikarang. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method to identify the relationship between empathy variables and bullying behavior. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling, with a total of 124 respondents from SMKN students in West Cikarang. This method was chosen because of the ease of access to research subjects that are in accordance with predetermined criteria. Data collection was carried out using two main instruments, namely the bullying instrument adapted from the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ) to measure bullying behavior, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) to measure students' empathy levels. Both instruments have been widely used in previous studies and have good validity and reliability in measuring the construct in question. The data analysis techniques used in this study are descriptive statistics and correlation analysis to see the relationship between the two variables. The results of the study showed that there was a significant negative relationship between empathy and bullying behavior in SMKN students in West Cikarang. This means that the higher the level of empathy that students have, the lower their tendency to engage in bullying behavior. Conversely, low empathy is associated with increased potential for bullying behavior. These findings affirm the importance of developing empathy as one of the preventive efforts to reduce bullying behavior in the school environment, as well as being the basis for schools to design more effective and sustainable intervention programs.

SCHOOL COUNSELOR'S ETHICAL DILEMMA: SCOPING REVIEW
type: item
description: Ethical dilemmas are an inherent part of professional practice and can arise in all fields, including the role of school counselors. In the context of educational settings, school counselors are frequently confronted with complex situations that require them to balance professional responsibilities, institutional policies, and the best interests of students. However, not all counselors are fully aware that the challenges they encounter constitute ethical dilemmas, which can lead to uncertainty and inconsistency in decision-making processes. This lack of awareness may hinder their ability to respond appropriately and professionally when faced with sensitive situations. Several common ethical dilemmas experienced by school counselors include issues related to confidentiality, mandatory reporting, professional competence, boundary management, and multiple role relationships. Confidentiality, for instance, often becomes a dilemma when counselors must decide whether to maintain student privacy or disclose information for the sake of the student’s safety or well-being. Similarly, reporting obligations can create tension between ethical principles and legal requirements. Issues of competence may arise when counselors feel inadequately prepared to handle certain cases, while boundary concerns and multiple roles—such as being both a counselor and a teacher—can blur professional limits and complicate interactions with students. These dilemmas can create significant challenges for school counselors in making sound ethical decisions, particularly when clear guidelines are lacking. Therefore, this research is important as it highlights the need to identify and understand the conditions that trigger ethical dilemmas in school counseling practice. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for policymakers and counseling practitioners to develop comprehensive ethical guidelines and support systems. Ultimately, such efforts can assist school counselors in making informe…

FROM REFORM TO RECONSTRUCTION: EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF MUHAMMAD ABDUH AND MUHAMMAD IQBAL IN CONTEMPORARY ISLAMIC EDUCATION
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the reform and reconstruction of Islamic education through the educational thought of Muhammad Abduh and Muhammad Iqbal in the context of contemporary Islamic education. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method. The data were collected from scholarly journal articles accessed through the Google Scholar database with a publication range from 2020 to 2025. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis and comparative analysis to identify the main concepts within the educational thought of both thinkers and examine their relevance to contemporary challenges in Islamic education. The findings indicate that Muhammad Abduh emphasized educational reform through rationality, the rejection of taqlid, and the integration of religious and modern sciences within the Islamic educational curriculum. Meanwhile, Muhammad Iqbal emphasized the reconstruction of Islamic educational philosophy through the concept of khudi, which focuses on the development of self-awareness, creativity, and moral responsibility. The comparative analysis shows that both perspectives offer complementary approaches in constructing a more holistic paradigm of Islamic education. The integration of Abduh’s educational reform and Iqbal’s philosophical reconstruction provides a relevant conceptual framework for developing Islamic education capable of responding to modern challenges while preserving its spiritual and moral foundations.

RECONSTRUCTING CONTEMPORARY ISLAMIC INTELLECTUAL THOUGHT: A CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW
type: item
description: This article aims to analyze the development of the reconstruction of contemporary Islamic intellectual thought through a literature review approach. The study employs a qualitative method by examining various academic journal articles, scholarly books, and relevant scientific publications discussing the reform of modern Islamic thought. The selected sources include publications from 2020 to 2025 as well as seminal works of influential Muslim thinkers such as Muhammad Abduh, Muhammad Iqbal, and Fazlur Rahman as theoretical foundations. The findings indicate that the reconstruction of contemporary Islamic intellectual thought revolves around several major themes, including the reform of Islamic epistemology and ijtihad methodology, the transformation of Islamic education, modern Islamic political and civilizational discourse, the reconstruction of hermeneutics and theology, and the development of gender and Islamic economic perspectives. The literature further reveals that contemporary Islamic thought increasingly adopts contextual approaches aimed at bridging classical Islamic intellectual traditions with the demands of global modernity. Therefore, the reconstruction of Islamic intellectual thought extends beyond theoretical discourse and contributes to institutional reform, socio-political governance, and the advancement of Islamic civilization in response to contemporary challenges.

AN ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS' PERCEPTIONS OF TEACHER COMPETENCE AND THE ATTRIBUTION OF LOW LEARNING QUALITY
type: item
description: This study aimed to analyze the principal’s perceptions of teacher competence and the principal’s attribution of the low quality of learning at SMA Negeri 1 Talang Ubi, Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency. The study focused on the principal’s perceptions of four teacher competencies, namely pedagogical, professional, personal, and social competencies, as well as how the principal attributed the factors causing the low quality of learning originating from both internal and external school factors. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal as the main informant, classroom observations, and documentation studies of learning devices and relevant school documents. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data trustworthiness was ensured through credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability tests by applying triangulation and member checking. The results showed that the principal generally had a positive perception of teacher competence in pedagogical, professional, personal, and social aspects. However, improvements were still required in terms of learning innovation and adaptation to evolving educational policies. The principal also attributed the low quality of learning relatively evenly to internal and external factors. Internal factors were related to teachers’ readiness and adaptability in implementing learning processes, while external factors included student characteristics, parental involvement, and limitations in school facilities and educational regulations. These findings indicate that the principal has an objective and constructive perspective in addressing issues related to learning quality and in formulating improvement efforts.

STUDENTS' READINESS TO MASTER 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS
type: item
description: The development of information technology, globalization, and the industrial revolution 4.0 requires the education system to prepare students with relevant 21st century skills. These skills are in line with the four pillars of UNESCO education, namely learning to know, learning to do, learning to be, and learning to live together, which includes critical thinking skills, problem solving, creativity, communication, collaboration, information literacy, and metacognition. This article aims to examine the readiness of students to master 21st century skills and the factors that influence them. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various relevant scientific sources. The results of the study show that students' readiness is influenced by four main factors: relevant curriculum, innovative learning strategies, integration of technology in the teaching and learning process, and a conducive learning environment. The achievement of 21st century skills can be realized through project- or problem-based learning, personalization of learning, strengthening collaboration and communication, empowerment of metacognition, and design of learning activities that are contextual and relevant to the real world. The main principle of 21st century learning emphasizes that learning must be student-centered, collaborative, contextual, and integrated with people's lives. These various skills need to be taught explicitly and planned. The role of teachers is crucial in implementing learning that is able to facilitate the development of these skills. In conclusion, educational institutions need to develop adaptive and innovative learning models so that students are able to face global challenges in the future and become competent, creative, and highly competitive individuals.

AN ANALYSIS OF QIRA’AH INSTRUCTION IN THE DIGITAL AGE TO ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING OF QUR’ANIC TEXTS AMONG SECOND-SEMESTER ARABIC LANGUAGE EDUCATION STUDENTS AT UIN RADEN INTAN LAMPUNG
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the low ability of students to understand the text of the Qur'an despite having the ability to read Arabic. In the digital era, Arabic language learning has developed through the use of various technological media that can support the learning process of qira'ah. This study aims to analyze the implementation of qira'ah learning in the digital era and its contribution to improving the understanding of the text of the Qur'an among Arabic Language Education students at Raden Intan State Islamic University, Lampung. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. The research subjects consisted of 20 students and 1 lecturer teaching the qira'ah course. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that qira'ah learning in the digital era has utilized various media such as YouTube, Google Classroom, and digital dictionary applications. The use of digital media can increase student motivation and engagement in learning and help understanding the comprehension and structure of the text. However, there are still obstacles such as limited digital literacy and difficulties in understanding the meaning of the text in depth. Thus, digital-based qira'ah learning has the potential to improve understanding of the Quranic text, but requires more effective learning development strategies to achieve optimal results.

THE APPLICATION OF SPIRITUAL VALUES IN A COGNITIVE FRAMEWORK FOR COPING WITH STUDENTS' ACADEMIC STRESS
type: item
description: Academic stress is a significant challenge faced by students in Islamic boarding schools, considering the pressures from high academic demands and strict discipline. This study aims to analyze the role of integrating spiritual values into students' coping thoughts as a strategy to manage academic stress. Through a qualitative approach, data were collected via in-depth interviews, observations of students, and document studies at the Al-Majidiyah boarding school. The collected data were then analyzed using thematic analysis, which includes: a) initial coding, marking data segments relevant to spirituality-based coping; b) theme grouping, organizing emerging codes into main themes; and c) theme interpretation. The research results indicate that spiritual values, such as sincerity, trust in God (tawakkul), patience, and gratitude, play a crucial role in helping students manage academic stress. Students who apply these values in their thoughts and behavior report lower stress levels, better emotional calmness, and higher resilience in facing academic pressures. Religious guidance and mentorship from boarding school advisors also have a significant influence in directing students to use spiritual values as an effective coping strategy. The integration of spiritual values into coping thoughts has been shown not only to help alleviate academic stress but also to enhance students' learning motivation and discipline. This study concludes that spiritual values can be an effective approach to supporting the mental and spiritual well-being of students in the Al-Majidiyah boarding school environment in Pamekasan.

LOW PHYSICAL AGGRESSION BUT HIGH EMOTIONAL REACTIVITY: A MIXED-METHODS ANALYSIS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN’S SELF-REGULATION
type: item
description: Aggressive behavior begins to emerge in early childhood as part of social-emotional development and is closely associated with self-regulation capacity. If not appropriately addressed, aggressive behavior may persist and have negative implications for later academic success. This study aimed to (1) describe the profile of aggressive behavior in preschool children and (2) explore this profile in relation to children’s self-regulation abilities based on teachers’ observations. This study employed a mixed-methods design using a concurrent embedded model. The research population consisted of 877 children aged 4–6 years, with total population sampling applied. Quantitative data were collected using an aggressiveness scale, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with five teachers selected based on children classified in the moderate and high aggression categories. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, whereas qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that aggressive behavior among children was generally low, with 63.4% of children classified in the low aggression category and only one child in the high aggression category. Emotional aggression—such as anger, crying, and expressions of dislike—was the most dominant form. Children’s aggression was predominantly reactive, triggered by frustration, peer conflict, competition over toys, or unmet desires. Verbal and physical aggression emerged in specific contexts, particularly among children with lower self-regulation abilities.

THE UNSPOKEN VOICE: THE EXPERIENCE OF EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION THROUGH JOURNALING AMONG MALE COLLEGE STUDENTS
type: item
description: This study aims to understand the subjective experience of male students in using journaling as a means of expressing emotions. Previous research has focused more on journaling as an intervention, while individual experiences in undergoing the process, particularly in male students, are still limited to study. This study uses a qualitative approach with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) analysis. Three male students who had been journaling regularly for at least three years were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed following the stages of science. The results show that journaling functions as a private, safe, and reflective space that allows for the expression of emotions without social judgment. This practice facilitates the release of emotions, supports self-reflection, and allows for the negotiation of internalized masculinity norms in a non-confrontational manner. These findings confirm the relevance of journaling in the context of guidance and counseling and expand the study of masculinity by showing that the expression of emotions can take place through internal processes.

TEENAGERS' EXPERIENCES IN PERCEIVING THEIR BODIES AS A TRIGGER FOR LOW SELF-ESTEEM
type: item
description: Weight dissatisfaction is a common psychological phenomenon experienced by adolescents and has the potential to affect the development of self-esteem. Social pressure, ideal body standards, and social comparison make adolescents more vulnerable to negative self-evaluations. This study aims to explore in depth the subjective experiences of adolescents experiencing weight dissatisfaction and its impact on self-esteem. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design and was analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Study participants consisted of two adolescents who were purposively selected and met the criteria for experiencing weight dissatisfaction and low self-esteem. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The results revealed three main themes: adolescents' dissatisfaction with their body condition, the impact of body dissatisfaction on self-esteem, and adolescents' efforts to overcome body dissatisfaction, which were broken down into nine superordinate themes. The findings indicate that body dissatisfaction contributes to decreased self-esteem, the emergence of negative emotions, and social avoidance. However, adolescents also demonstrate adaptive coping strategies through social support and self-acceptance processes. This study provides theoretical implications for the phenomenological understanding of body image and practical implications for guidance and counseling services oriented towards self-acceptance and strengthening social support for adolescents.

THE IMPACT OF THE TIKTOK APP ON STUDENTS' BEHAVIOR TOWARD TEACHERS
type: item
description: This study aims to describe the intensity of TikTok application use and analyze its influence on the morals of ninth-grade students toward teachers at SMPN 1 Talang Kelapa. The background of this research stems from the increasing use of TikTok among teenagers, which has the potential to affect behavior and moral values in interactions with teachers. The study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational method. The sample consists of 60 students selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, then analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26. The results show that the intensity of TikTok use is categorized as high (mean = 78.45), while students’ morals toward teachers are categorized as fairly good (mean = 68.12). The correlation test resulted in r = -0.612 (p = 0.000), indicating a significant negative relationship between the two variables. The regression results show R² = 0.375, meaning that TikTok usage influences 37.5% of students’ morals. Thus, the higher the intensity of TikTok use, the lower the students’ morals toward teachers. Cooperation among teachers, parents, and the school is needed in character development and digital literacy so that social media can be used positively.

THE MALAY KINGDOM AND THE SPREAD OF ISLAM IN JAMBI: A STUDY OF LOCAL HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the Malay kingdom and the spread of Islam in Jambi in relation to local history and religious traditions. This study examines the role of the Jambi Malay Kingdom in the process of spreading Islam since the 15th century AD, with a focus on the transition from a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom to an Islamic sultanate through trade, political marriages such as that of Ahmad Salim (Datuk Paduka Berhala) with the daughter of Pagaruyung, and the preaching of ulama. The study explores the history of Islamization through heritage sites such as the Orang Kayo Hitam Site, the Olak Kemang Stone House, the Seribu Pilgrimage Mosque, and the Gentala Arasy Museum, which reflect the acculturation of Islam with local Malay culture. In addition, the religious traditions of the Jambi Malay community are discussed such as the commemoration of Assyura, Nisfu Sya'ban, grave pilgrimages, and the art of Zapin-hadrah which integrates Islamic law with local customs, demonstrating the harmony of religion and culture until now. This study uses a historical method (library research) consisting of four stages, namely heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The data collected comes from various sources, such as books, articles, and documents relevant to the topic discussed.

RESPECT FOR KNOWLEDGE AND SCHOLARS IN THE QUR'AN: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF IBN KATSIR'S TAFSIR AND AL-MISBAH'S TAFSIR AS A FOUNDATION FOR EDUCATION (Q.S. AL-MUJADALAH: 11)
type: item
description: This study examines the concept of honoring knowledge (‘ilm) and scholars (‘ulama) in the Qur’an through a comparative analysis of the classical exegesis of Ibn Kathīr and the contemporary interpretation of M. Quraish Shihab’s Tafsir Al-Mishbah on Qur’an Surah al-Mujādalah verse 11. The background of this research arises from the shifting perception of religious authority in modern society, characterized by rapid information flows, the rise of instant religious figures, and the weakening of traditional Islamic scholarship. The objectives of this research are: (1) to explain the Qur’anic concept of knowledge and scholars; (2) to compare the interpretative frameworks of Ibn Kathīr and Quraish Shihab; and (3) to identify educational values derived from both exegetical approaches. This qualitative study employs library research, using Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr and Tafsir Al-Mishbah as primary sources. Data were analyzed through content analysis and comparative methods to examine methodological differences, interpretative emphases, and educational implications. The findings show that Ibn Kathīr prioritizes authentic narrations (riwāyāt) in interpreting the verse and highlights social ethics and the Prophet’s exemplary conduct. Meanwhile, Quraish Shihab adopts a maqāṣid-oriented approach, emphasizing universal moral principles and contextual relevance to modern social and educational settings. The study reveals that knowledge in Islam integrates rational, spiritual, and moral dimensions. Scholars are regarded as the inheritors of prophets, entrusted with intellectual and ethical responsibilities. In conclusion, both tafsir traditions complement each other: Ibn Kathīr provides strong textual-historical foundations, while Al-Mishbah offers contextual insights essential for constructing relevant and holistic Islamic educational frameworks.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SELF-MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE GROUP COUNSELING IN REDUCING TRUANCY AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling using the self-management technique in reducing truancy behavior among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Patianrowo. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a nonequivalent control group design. The sample was selected through purposive sampling and involved 17 tenth-grade students identified as having high levels of truancy behavior, who were divided into an experimental group (n = 8) and a control group (n = 9). Data on truancy behavior were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using non-parametric statistical tests, namely the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test. The results of the Wilcoxon test in the experimental group showed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.005 (p < 0.05), indicating a substantial reduction in truancy behavior after the implementation of group counseling with the self-management technique. In contrast, the control group did not demonstrate a significant change. Furthermore, the Mann–Whitney U test on post-test scores revealed an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), confirming a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups.The novelty of this study lies in the integration of the “7 Kebiasaan Anak Indonesia Hebat” (Seven Habits of Great Indonesian Children) into the implementation of group counseling with the self-management technique, including habits such as waking up early, religious observance, regular physical exercise, learning enthusiasm, and going to bed early as supporting strategies for fostering students’ disciplinary behavior. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that group counseling using the self-management technique is significantly effective in reducing truancy behavior among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Patianrowo.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BEHAVIORAL CONTRACT GROUP COUNSELING IN IMPROVING THE DISCIPLINE OF 11TH-GRADE STUDENTS AT PILANGKENCENG STATE HIGH SCHOOL, MADIUN REGENCY
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of group counseling using the behavioral contract technique in improving the discipline of eleventh-grade students at Pilangkenceng State Senior High School, Madiun Regency. The problem of low student discipline often becomes an obstacle in the learning process, so a systematic and structured approach is needed to improve student discipline. In this study, the method used was an experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design involving two groups: an experimental group that was given a group counseling intervention with the behavioral contract technique and a control group that did not receive the intervention. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and student discipline questionnaires that measured aspects of discipline such as tardiness, attendance, and compliance with school rules. The results showed that there was a significant increase in discipline in the experimental group after being given the intervention compared to the control group. This finding proves that the application of the behavioral contract technique in group counseling can be an effective alternative in improving student discipline. Therefore, it is recommended that schools consider implementing this technique as part of their character building and student discipline program

THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH AS THE FOUNDATION OF MODERN ISLAMIC EDUCATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW BASED ON THE QUR’AN AND THE SUNNAH
type: item
description: Islamic education in the modern era faces complex challenges due to globalization, secularization, and the rapid flow of modernity that threatens the foundation of faith among young Muslim generations. This research aims to analyze the concept of aqidah from the perspective of the Qur'an and As-Sunnah as the fundamental foundation of Islamic education, identify the urgency of aqidah as the foundation in the modern Islamic education system, and formulate a conceptual framework for implementing aqidah in the design of modern Islamic education curriculum. This research employs library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach, where data sources consist of primary sources in the form of the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as secondary sources in the form of scientific journals, books, and articles published over the last 10 years. Data analysis uses content analysis techniques through stages of data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The research findings indicate that: (1) aqidah in the Qur'an and As-Sunnah constitutes the epistemological and philosophical foundation that shapes students' Islamic worldview through the dimensions of tawhid (Rububiyah, Uluhiyah, and Asma wa Sifat); (2) aqidah becomes urgent as an epistemological filter, spiritual fortress, and intrinsic motivator in facing the challenges of globalization and modernity; (3) the implementation of aqidah in the curriculum requires a systematic approach through five dimensions: content, methodology, environment, evaluation, and integration with contemporary needs. This research contributes to formulating a conceptual framework for developing Islamic education that is characterized, has integrity, and is relevant to contemporary needs without neglecting aqidah as its main pillar.

A MULTICULTURAL-BASED MODEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION CURRICULUM TO PROMOTE RELIGIOUS MODERATION: A CASE STUDY AT PADAMARA STATE HIGH SCHOOL 1
type: item
description: This research aims to analyze and conceptualize a multicultural-based Islamic Education (PAI) curriculum development model in strengthening religious moderation within pluralistic school settings. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Padamara, Purbalingga, which represents a religiously diverse student population. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving school principals, teachers, and students. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, coding, thematic categorization, and source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that the strengthening of religious moderation is not limited to formal instruction but is implemented through an integrative model consisting of three main dimensions: intracurricular, co-curricular, and school culture. These dimensions interact to create a holistic learning experience that fosters tolerance, balance, and respect for diversity. However, the implementation also faces challenges, including varying levels of teacher understanding of religious moderation and uneven student engagement. This study contributes by proposing a contextual and applicable conceptual model of multicultural-based Islamic education curriculum development in pluralistic school environments. The findings highlight the importance of a whole-school approach in fostering sustainable religious moderation.

THE VALUES OF PLURALISM IN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: A PERSPECTIVE FROM AL-QASIMI’S EXEGESIS
type: item
description: This study examines the values of pluralism in Islamic religious education through the perspective of Al-Qasimi’s exegesis (Mahasin at-Ta’wil). This study stems from the reality of diversity in Indonesian society, which demands a religious understanding that is inclusive, tolerant, and in harmony with the social context. The research method used is descriptive-analytical with a qualitative approach based on a literature review, with the primary source being Al-Qasimi’s interpretation of Qur’anic verses related to pluralism and tolerance. The analysis reveals that Al-Qasimi interprets verses on pluralism in a moderate and rational manner. Through Surah Al-Hujurat: 13, he emphasizes human equality and the importance of mutual understanding (ta’aruf) as the purpose of diversity. In Surah Al-Kafirun: 6, he affirms the principle of religious freedom without coercion. Meanwhile, in QS. Al-An’am: 108, he highlights the ethics of interfaith dialogue and the prohibition against denigrating other beliefs to maintain social harmony. These values of pluralism have strategic implications for Islamic religious education, particularly in shaping students’ character to respect differences, uphold justice, and engage in polite dialogue with various groups. Thus, the Al-Qasimi Exegesis makes a significant contribution to the development of moderate, humanistic Islamic education that is responsive to the challenges of diversity in the modern era.

CURRICULUM FOR MULTICULTURAL ISLAMIC EDUCATION AND RELIGIOUS MODERATION AT JAMBUDESA PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
type: item
description: This study develops a comprehensive multicultural Islamic education curriculum grounded in religious moderation principles, specifically designed for SD Negeri 1 Jambudesa a rural elementary school in a religiously diverse community. Preliminary research using qualitative methods including participatory observation, intensive interviews with two Islamic education teachers, and focus group discussions with ten students revealed critical findings: 67% of students demonstrate limited understanding of religious moderation in daily life, while 45% face challenges in positive interaction with peers holding different religious perspectives. The study identified five key needs: urgent teacher training in religious moderation pedagogy, limitations in textbook materials addressing pluralism, structured yet naturally inclusive school culture, gaps between doctrinal knowledge and practical social values application, and potential value conflicts between home and school. Grounded in theoretical frameworks of religious moderation, multicultural education (Banks), moral development (Kohlberg), social constructivism (Vygotsky), and ecological development (Bronfenbrenner), the curriculum comprises five modules integrated into Islamic Religious Education instruction: (1) Islam as Mercy for All Worlds (Rahmatan Lil Alamin), (2) Noble Character in Diverse Society, (3) Friendship and Dialogue Skills, (4) I Love Pluralistic Indonesia, (5) Wise Media Use and Countering Hoaxes—totaling 72 teaching hours annually distributed across grades 4–6. Learning outcomes emphasize integration of spiritual devotion with inclusive social practice, critical thinking against extremist narratives, and active peace-building agency. Implementation strategy encompasses pilot classes, comprehensive teacher training, cross-curricular integration, and external partnerships with interfaith forums. Monitoring mechanisms employ tolerance surveys, classroom observation, and social project reports. This curriculum m…

AL-MARAGHI’S EXEGESIS AND THE CONCEPT OF ISLAMIC PARENTING: AN EXAMINATION OF ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL VALUES IN THE FAMILY
type: item
description: The family is the primary and most influential institution in a child’s educational development, where Islamic values are deeply instilled through parenting patterns rooted in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. In this context, Tafsir al-Maraghi by Ahmad Musthafa al-Maraghi holds a significant role as it presents rational, contextual, and educationally rich interpretations of the Qur’an. This study aims to examine the concept of Islamic parenting within Tafsir al-Maraghi and to explore Islamic educational values applicable to family life. This research employs a library research method with a thematic (maudhū‘i) approach and content analysis. The primary source is Tafsir al-Maraghi, supported by secondary sources from Islamic education and family psychology literature. The findings reveal four fundamental pillars of education in Tafsir al-Maraghi: monotheistic education (tauhid), parental moral exemplarity, affection and communication within the family, and the habituation of worship and social responsibility. These values align with contemporary Islamic parenting principles emphasizing the balance between love, discipline, and spirituality.

EDUCATIONAL ETHNOGRAPHY: SCHOOL LIFE PRACTICES AND THE FORMATION OF MULTICULTURAL IDENTITY AT SMP NEGERI 1 SUMBANG
type: item
description: This study aimed to describe school-life practices that reflect multicultural values and to analyze the process of multicultural identity formation among students at SMP Negeri 1 Sumbang. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, the research explored the lived experiences of students, teachers, and other school actors through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings showed that ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic diversity shaped an inclusive social environment within the school. Multicultural values were implicitly integrated into learning activities, particularly in Pancasila Education, Religious Education, and Indonesian Language classes, although they were not yet supported by a systematic curricular policy. Students' social interactions demonstrated ongoing identity negotiation through language, cultural symbols, and cross-group collaboration. Teachers played a significant role in fostering inclusive and dialogical pedagogy to prevent identity-based tension. This study concludes that multicultural identity formation is not an automatic process but emerges through continuous social experiences supported by a school culture that respects diversity.

THE EFFECT OF GROUP COUNSELING USING THE SOLUTION-FOCUSED BRIEF COUNSELING APPROACH ON ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION BEHAVIOR AMONG STUDENTS AT TANJUNGANOM STATE HIGH SCHOOL 1, NGANJUK REGENCY
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effect of group counseling services using the Solution-Focused Brief Counseling approach on the academic procrastination behavior of 12th-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Tanjunganom, Nganjuk Regency, during the 2025/2026 academic year. This study employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method and a one-group pretest–posttest design. The research subjects consisted of 61 students with high levels of academic procrastination. The research instrument was an academic procrastination questionnaire developed based on indicators of delaying the start of tasks and avoiding academic tasks, and its validity and reliability had been tested. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the normality test using the Shapiro–Wilk test indicated that the pretest and posttest data were not normally distributed; therefore, hypothesis testing proceeded with the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The analysis results showed a decrease in the average academic procrastination scores of students from the pretest to the posttest. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that group counseling services using the Solution Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) approach significantly influence the reduction of students’ academic procrastination behavior. This study provides practical implications for guidance and counseling teachers to utilize the SFBC approach as an alternative intervention in helping students overcome academic procrastination, particularly at the high school level.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL MATURITY AND FORGIVENESS AMONG STUDENTS AT STATE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 19 IN MEDAN
type: item
description: This study aimed to examine the relationship between emotional maturity and forgiveness among students of SMP Negeri 19 Medan. The research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational method. The sample consisted of 146 students selected through disproportionate stratified random sampling. The research instruments included two scales, namely the emotional maturity scale and the forgiveness scale, both of which had been tested for validity and reliability prior to data collection. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation technique. The results revealed a highly significant positive relationship between emotional maturity and forgiveness, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.773 and a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher levels of emotional maturity are associated with higher levels of forgiveness among students. Furthermore, emotional maturity contributed effectively 59.8% to forgiveness, while the remaining 40.2% was influenced by other factors beyond the scope of this study. These findings emphasize the importance of emotional maturity as a contributing factor in supporting forgiveness among adolescents in the school environment.

SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE AS A MECHANISM FOR ADDICTION RECOVERY AMONG INDIVIDUALS IN PESANTREN-BASED
type: item
description: This research aims to explore spiritual experiences as an addiction recovery mechanism in individuals undergoing pesantren-based rehabilitation. This study uses a qualitative approach with an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) design to understand the life experiences of participants in interpreting the recovery process. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, observations, and field records of individuals who are undergoing or have completed pesantren-based rehabilitation programs. The results show that spiritual experiences play an important role as an important mechanism in addiction recovery through four main dimensions, namely: spiritual awareness as a turning point for change, spiritual practice as a means of self-regulation against craving and prevention of relapse, religious community as a source of recovery support, and identity reconstruction as part of recovery transformation. These findings suggest that addiction recovery in the context of pesantren-based rehabilitation is not only related to the cessation of substance use, but is a psychospiritual process that involves a change in the meaning of life, self-control, communal support, and the formation of a new identity. This study proposes the concept of spiritual recovery mechanism as a theoretical contribution to expand the perspective of recovery capital in the study of addiction recovery.

FOSTERING SOCIAL COHESION THROUGH ISLAMIC EDUCATION: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF MULTICULTURAL VALUES IN INDONESIAN PESANTREN
type: item
description: Indonesia, as the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, faces persistent challenges in maintaining social cohesion amid rising religio-political tensions and multicultural fragmentation. Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) hold a distinctive role as institutions of religious socialization and cultural negotiation. This study explores how pesantren foster social cohesion through a qualitative multi-site case study of three prominent institutions in Java recognized for moderate Islamic thought and engagement with diversity. Data were collected via interviews, participant observation, and document analysis of classical texts (kitab kuning) and institutional curricula, analyzed through Berger’s theory of social construction and Durkheim’s concept of moral education and solidarity. Findings reveal that pesantren integrate universal values such as cooperation (ta’awun), tolerance (tasamuh), and justice (‘adalah) into formal curricula, while hidden curricula and communal practices provide experiential pluralism. Institutional traditions, including national celebrations and interfaith dialogues, further bridge religious identity with civic belonging. These layered processes cultivate graduates with “hybrid identities” that harmonize Islamic piety with commitment to the Indonesian nation-state. The study concludes that pesantren offer an indigenous model of fostering social cohesion neither fully secular nor exclusively religious highlighting their potential as long-term strategies against extremism and as significant contributors to the sociology of education and Islamic studies in contexts of modernity and pluralism.

THE ROLE OF MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY (MBCT) IN ENHANCING SELF-ESTEEM AMONG MINORITY ETHNIC ADOLESCENTS: A LITERATURE REVIEW
type: item
description: Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by increased vulnerability to psychological challenges, particularly among individuals from minority ethnic backgrounds. Experiences of discrimination and social exclusion may negatively affect adolescents’ self-esteem and identity development. Therefore, identifying effective interventions to support their psychological well-being is essential. This study aims to explore the role of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in enhancing self-esteem among adolescents with minority ethnic identities. This study employed a narrative literature review design, analyzing 10 selected articles published between 2012 and 2024. The literature search was conducted using academic databases, including Google Scholar and Sage Journals, with keywords related to MBCT, self-esteem, adolescents, and ethnic minority. The selected studies were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to identify key patterns and relationships. The findings reveal that self-esteem among minority adolescents is influenced by a complex interaction of developmental factors, ethnic identity, and experiences of discrimination. Discrimination consistently emerges as a significant risk factor, while ethnic identity and supportive environments function as protective factors. MBCT demonstrates potential as an effective intervention by enhancing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and adaptive coping strategies, thereby helping adolescents manage the psychological impact of discrimination. In conclusion, MBCT offers a promising approach to improving self-esteem among adolescents with minority ethnic identities. However, its effectiveness depends on the presence of inclusive and culturally sensitive environments. Future research should focus on context-specific applications, particularly in non-Western settings.

STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKING IN TUITION-FREE ISLAMIC SCHOOLS FUNDED BY BOS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the process of strategic decision-making in the management of Islamic schools that do not charge tuition fees (SPP) and rely on the School Operational Assistance Fund (BOS) as the main source of funding. The focus of this research is to understand how policies and important decisions are made by school management in dealing with various resource limitations. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews with teachers at SDIT Bani Daud Curug-Kota Serang. Through this method, the researcher obtained a deeper understanding of decision-making practices that occur within the school environment. The results of the study indicate that teachers are actively involved in the decision-making process through deliberation forums and regular school meetings. In these forums, teachers have the opportunity to express their opinions, provide input, and offer solutions to various problems faced by the school. This participation reflects the implementation of participatory management, which provides opportunities for educators to contribute to determining school policies. In addition, the implementation of flagship programs such as the Qur’an memorization (tahfidz) program has been running well due to the support and active role of teachers in guiding and motivating students. However, the school also faces several challenges, particularly the limitations of facilities and infrastructure such as sports facilities, as well as limited resources due to the absence of tuition fees. Therefore, a participatory and deliberation-based decision-making model becomes an important strategy in maintaining the sustainability of educational programs in schools with limited funding.

STRENGTHENING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SCHOOL-BASED MANAGEMENT THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCE COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT
type: item
description: School-based management (SBM) is one form of implementation of educational decentralization policy that aims to improve the effectiveness of education management and the quality of learning at the educational unit level. This study aims to analyze the concepts, principles, quality indicators, and implementation of SBM in improving the quality of education. The study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained from various scientific literature sources in the form of books, academic journals, and educational policy documents relevant to the topic of educational decentralization and education management. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify key concepts, compare previous research findings, and compile a conceptual synthesis regarding SBM implementation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of SBM has the potential to improve the quality of education by strengthening school independence, more flexible resource management, and increasing stakeholder participation in educational decision-making. However, the effectiveness of SBM implementation is still influenced by the quality of principal leadership, managerial capacity, school organizational culture, and community support. In addition, resource inequality and low understanding of the SBM concept also become obstacles in its implementation. Therefore, strengthening the implementation of MBS needs to be directed at improving human resource competency, strengthening transparent and accountable school governance, and developing a continuous monitoring and evaluation system to achieve systematic and sustainable improvements in education quality.
