Abstract

Education quality in elementary schools is strongly influenced by the professional competence of teachers, particularly their pedagogical abilities. In Gunem District, Rembang Regency, disparities in education quality remain evident, with many schools still falling short of the expected standards. This study aims to examine the influence of teachers’ pedagogical competence on education quality in public elementary schools. Employing a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected through a proportional random sample of 106 teachers from a total population of 144. The main research instrument was a Likert-scale questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were confirmed through Pearson correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha tests. Data analysis was performed using simple linear regression with SPSS 25. The results indicate a positive and significant effect of teachers’ pedagogical competence on education quality, with a correlation coefficient of 0.630 and an R² value of 0.397. These findings highlight the importance of continuous professional development programs to strengthen teachers’ pedagogical competence as a key strategy for improving education quality in elementary schools.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest palm oil-producing countries in the world, significantly contributing to global palm oil needs. The use of palm oil as fuel is generally achieved through the biodiesel manufacturing process; however, this process remains costly and thus less economical. Additionally, the primary obstacle in using crude palm oil (CPO) is its high viscosity, which can cause blockages in the fuel injector channels of diesel engines. Therefore, modifications are necessary to enhance the characteristics of CPO so that it can be used directly as diesel engine fuel. This can be achieved through heating and the addition of 2-EHN additives. This study aimed to optimize the characteristics of CPO using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to determine the optimal combination of temperature and 2-EHN concentration. The optimal point was identified at a temperature of 50°C and a 2-EHN concentration of 2%. The results of the CPO characteristic test showed a viscosity of 4.45 CSt, a density of 0.884 g/ml, a cetane number of 56.9, and a calorific value of 9314 kcal/kg

Abstract

 The elevated demand of Muslim consumers for halal products is a business opportunity for producers or companies. So that attention to consumer behavior of halal products is part of market valuation that is important for achieving success in the halal industry. Meanwhile, the millennial generation will have an influence in determining the trend of product use especially since entering the digital era. So it is important to conduct further studies on the behavior of the millennial generation in consuming halal products. This research was conducted by collecting data through distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents classified as millennial generation. Then the data collected is processed with Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) and gives conclusion that the interest of millennial generation in buying halal products is influenced by Islamic branding and individual religiosity factors. While the satisfaction of the millennial generation in consuming halal products is influenced by the price factor of these products, Islamic branding and religiosity factors. Furthermore, Islamic branding indirectly influences the buying interest and satisfaction of the millennial generation in consuming halal products through a variable mediating religiosity. Therefore, Islamic branding is an urgent matter that must be fulfilled for companies that have a focus on the development of halal industrial.
