Abstract

The phenomenon of online game addiction among youth has emerged as a critical concern in today’s digital society, significantly influencing social interaction and educational outcomes. This study aims to examine the psychological and sociological effects of excessive online gaming through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from 32 scholarly articles and undergraduate theses published between 2013 and 2025, and analyzed to identify recurring behavioral and academic patterns. The findings indicate that approximately 70% of the reviewed studies reported a decline in face-to-face communication, emotional sensitivity, and empathy among young gamers. Moreover, 65% of the sources highlighted academic disengagement, decreased motivation to learn, and lower performance levels. Prolonged gaming also correlates with heightened stress, anxiety, and irregular sleep cycles, demonstrating the multifaceted nature of this behavioral issue. These impacts extend beyond the individual, disrupting family relations and school environments. The study recommends integrated interventions involving parental monitoring, educator participation, and balanced digital policy implementation to foster responsible gaming habits. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of online game addiction by integrating perspectives from social learning and behavioral addiction theories, providing a conceptual framework for future studies on youth digital behavior.

Abstract

This study explores the legal and managerial implications of the absence of a Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa/BEM) at Universitas Pamulang. Law No. 12 of 2012 on Higher Education recognizes students’ rights to form intra-campus organizations as part of their academic and civic development. Nevertheless, Universitas Pamulang operates only through faculty-based associations (HIMA), without a university-level BEM. Using a normative juridical approach and descriptive qualitative analysis, this research reveals that the absence of BEM restricts student representation, weakens interfaculty coordination, and limits participatory decision-making. From a legal perspective, this condition indicates partial non-compliance with statutory obligations regarding organizational rights. From a managerial perspective, it reflects a governance gap that undermines accountability and inclusivity. The findings highlight the need for universities to align legal compliance with participatory management practices to enhance institutional legitimacy and educational quality. The study recommends that higher education institutions establish representative student bodies to foster democratic engagement and fulfill the mandates of national law.

Abstract

This study addresses the growing challenge faced by Islamic da’wah institutions in balancing managerial effectiveness with the preservation of spiritual values. Many religious organizations struggle to integrate performance-based leadership with transcendental and prophetic principles, leading to either managerial stagnation or value dilution. In response to this issue, this research aims to examine how a spiritual-transformational leadership model is constructed at the Al-Bahjah Da'wah Development Institute (LPD) and how it shapes organizational culture and institutional commitment. This study employs a qualitative design grounded in a constructivist paradigm. Data were collected through systematic field observation, in-depth interviews with organizational actors, and analysis of institutional documentation. The data were analyzed using thematic interpretation involving coding, categorization, and reflective triangulation to ensure credibility and analytical rigor. The findings reveal that leadership at LPD Al-Bahjah is built on the integration of tawhid-based values, moral exemplarity (uswah), a visionary da’wah orientation, and the structured empowerment of human resources. This integration generates a religious-adaptive organizational culture characterized by collective worship practices, high member loyalty, ethical innovation, and sustained institutional growth. The study demonstrates that spiritual and transformational dimensions function synergistically rather than separately, forming a leadership model that strengthens organizational identity, commitment, and resilience amid contemporary social change.

Abstract

This community service study addresses the need to strengthen graduate quality in Islamic educational institutions facing contemporary challenges such as globalisation, cultural transformation, and moral development. The study aims to examine how integrating a networked curriculum model can support the development of graduate quality in State Tsanawiyah Madrasah (MTsN 2 Ciwaringin) and State Aliyah Madrasah (MAN 2 Ciwaringin) located in Babakan Ciwaringin, Cirebon. The research applies the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, focusing on identifying and utilising existing institutional and community assets. The activities were conducted through mentoring, discussions, and collaborative sessions involving teachers as the main participants. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and discussion results, and were analysed descriptively to capture institutional processes and teacher engagement during the program. The findings indicate that both madrasahs demonstrate strong institutional assets, including qualified teachers, supportive learning environments, and connections with surrounding Islamic boarding schools. The integration of the networked curriculum model, implemented through participatory and collaborative processes, strengthens curriculum practices, teacher involvement, and institutional coordination. In addition, internal quality control mechanisms led by madrasah leadership were observed to support the implementation of curriculum integration. These findings are based on teacher participation, institutional processes, and descriptive evaluation rather than direct measurement of student outcomes. The study suggests that integrating a networked curriculum model through the ABCD approach provides a structured framework that supports the development of educational practices and graduate quality in madrasah contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the strategies employed by madrasah principals in managing educational programs and enhancing the quality of graduates in Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (MDTA). The research addresses the limited scholarly attention given to leadership practices in non-formal Islamic educational institutions, particularly regarding how principals manage educational programs to meet community expectations and improve graduate outcomes. This study aims to analyze the managerial strategies implemented by madrasah principals and to identify leadership characteristics that contribute to educational quality improvement. The study applied a qualitative research approach through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation conducted at MDTA Uswatun Hasanah Harjamukti and MDTA Darul Fikr Lemahwungkuk from February 5 to 15, 2025. Data were analyzed descriptively to interpret leadership practices and educational management strategies implemented in both institutions. The findings reveal that graduate quality improvement is influenced by several managerial strategies, including curriculum development, student-centered learning activities, the application of appropriate teaching methods, teacher qualification standards, competency development programs, evaluation systems, and institutional collaboration. The study also identifies the IKLAS leadership framework, Innovative, Creative, Evaluative, Accommodative, and Selective, as a contextual leadership model that strengthens the effectiveness of educational program management in MDTA institutions. This study contributes to the development of leadership studies in non-formal Islamic education by offering a practicum.

Abstract

Environmental degradation driven by plastic waste has intensified the demand for schools to cultivate environmental care as a dimension of student character. Many environmental programs, however, emphasize activity over the management required to make their outcomes endure. This study examines the Adiwiyata program through the lens of strategic management, aiming to analyze students' environmental care character, to examine how the program is implemented, and to evaluate how its strategic management contributes to strengthening that character. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, with the researcher serving as the primary instrument. Data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using the interactive analysis model and validated through triangulation across sources, techniques, and time. The findings demonstrate that environmental care develops as a layered and gradual achievement, sustained jointly by habituation, peer influence, and the discipline of school regulation, and maturing unevenly across grade levels. The program proved strong in formulation and implementation, although it remained constrained by workload, space, and funding. The principal implication is that policy, curriculum, participatory activity, and infrastructure function as an interdependent chain, which provides educational managers with a diagnostic instrument for identifying where character formation breaks down rather than a checklist of activities to complete.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) in Indonesia has transformed consumer payment behavior, particularly among Generation Z. However, empirical studies exploring its influence on merchant adoption in the street food sector remain limited. Previous literature has predominantly examined QRIS usage from the perspective of financial inclusion, with minimal attention to the intergenerational dynamics between digital-native consumers and small-scale vendors. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis to investigate Generation Z’s usage patterns of QRIS and merchant responses to its implementation. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten Generation Z consumers, selected purposively based on their high frequency of QRIS use in food purchases. Two street food vendors were chosen to represent differing age groups and digital literacy levels. Findings indicate that most Generation Z participants consistently preferred QRIS over cash, citing transaction speed, ease of use, and perceived security as key factors. Several respondents stated they would avoid purchasing from vendors without QRIS availability, indicating a demand-driven influence on merchant practices. Merchant responses varied: younger, digitally literate vendors readily adopted QRIS, while older vendors encountered barriers such as limited device access and low digital literacy. The small number of merchant participants reflects the study’s focus on depth of insight rather than breadth of sampling. These results suggest that Generation Z’s payment preferences are accelerating the integration of digital payments in micro and small enterprises, though intergenerational disparities in adoption remain a challenge for broader financial technology inclusion.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) serve as important institutions for religious education, character formation, and community development in Indonesia. Alongside their educational mission, pesantren are increasingly required to strengthen governance practices to ensure institutional sustainability, educational quality, and public trust. The collapse of a building within the Al-Khoziny Islamic Boarding School complex attracted public attention and raised broader questions regarding institutional governance, risk management, and educational responsibility in pesantren environments. However, previous studies have primarily examined pesantren from leadership, curriculum, and management perspectives, while limited research has explored governance and educational responsibility through a Qur’anic ethical framework. This study aims to analyze Islamic boarding school governance and Islamic boarding school education from the perspective of Qur’anic ethics using the Al-Khoziny case as an institutional reflection. The research employs a qualitative library-based approach combined with a case-based institutional analysis. Data were collected from Qur’anic verses, hadith literature, classical and contemporary tafsir, scholarly publications on Islamic education, and documented information related to the Al-Khoziny case. Data analysis was conducted through a dialectical hermeneutic process consisting of textual interpretation, ethical abstraction, and institutional contextualization. The findings indicate that the Qur’anic principles of al-‘adl (justice), al-amanah (trustworthiness), and al-ihsan (excellence) provide an integrated ethical foundation for strengthening governance and educational practices in pesantren. The Al-Khoziny case highlights the importance of accountability, transparency, institutional supervision, and continuous improvement as essential dimensions of pesantren management. The analysis further demonstrates that Qur’anic ethical values can guide institutional decision-making while supporting the educational mission of fostering responsibility, integrity, and social awareness among students and stakeholders. This study concludes that effective pesantren governance cannot be separated from ethical values embedded in Islamic teachings. The integration of justice, trustworthiness, and excellence contributes to the development of governance systems that support both educational objectives and institutional resilience. The proposed Qur’anic institutional ethics model offers practical guidance for pesantren leaders in strengthening governance, educational quality, stakeholder participation, and long-term institutional sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital transformation management through e-learning optimization and visionary leadership at Universitas Islam Negeri Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon as an effort to strengthen the quality, effectiveness, and competitiveness of Islamic higher education in the digital era. Methods: This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders involved in the university’s digital transformation process and supported by institutional documentation, including strategic plans, digital transformation policies, and academic governance reports. Informants were selected purposively based on their direct involvement in planning, implementing, and evaluating digital transformation initiatives. Data credibility was ensured through source triangulation and document verification, while data analysis followed the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings: The study found that digital transformation at Universitas Islam Negeri Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon has been implemented through the strengthening of digital infrastructure, optimization of the SPADA-based e-learning system, digitalization of academic services, and the development of a collaborative digital culture. The findings further indicate that visionary leadership has played a strategic role in formulating digital policies, encouraging institutional adaptation, and fostering stakeholder participation in transformation processes. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including disparities in digital competencies among lecturers and students, limitations in technological infrastructure, and resistance to organizational change. The interaction between digital innovation and leadership commitment has become a key factor in sustaining institutional transformation. Research Implications: The findings provide practical insights for Islamic higher education institutions in designing sustainable digital transformation strategies through the integration of digital learning systems, capacity-building programs, and adaptive leadership practices. Originality: This study contributes to the growing literature on digital transformation in Islamic higher education by demonstrating how e-learning optimization and visionary leadership interact in supporting institutional transformation within a cyber-based university environment grounded in Islamic educational values.

Abstract

This study aims to develop Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media on cultural diversity materials as an innovative product to strengthen cultural literacy and language skills among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) students in Cirebon City. Using the Research and Development (R&D) approach with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), this research focused on producing, validating, and testing the effectiveness of AR media in classroom learning. Data were obtained through literacy and language skill assessments, observations, questionnaires, and interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The results show that the developed AR-based media is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students’ cultural literacy and language performance. Statistical tests indicate significant differences in student outcomes before and after the use of AR media (sig = 0.00 < 0.05). The interactive nature of AR helped students connect cultural content with language expression more meaningfully. The study concludes that AR-based learning media serves as a creative educational innovation to improve literacy and communication skills while fostering appreciation of Indonesia’s cultural diversity among MI students.
