Abstract

This research intends to investigate the meaning contained behind the Tor-Tor dance. The researcher intends to use theories in this research, namely semiotic theory, nonverbal communication theory, and dance. The purpose of this research is to find out the meaning contained in the clothes and accessories used, song lyrics, and the meaning of each Tor-Tor Huda-Huda dance movement. The research method used in this research is an interpretive approach using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. Researchers collected data in the form of observations and secondary data in the form of journals, articles on the internet that support this research. The reason, why researchers are interested in it, is because dance is not only a means of expression but as a means of communication to express and express, commenting on the reality of life through dance movements. As a means of communication, dance through space-time movement carries a certain mission or message to be understood by the audience, while the body is the dancer's tool for communication. So the success or failure of communication through dance is also determined by the dancer's movements in each movement. For this reason, this research is considered important because of the diversity of meanings.

Abstract

This community service focused on strengthening the Islamic character education of Muslim children within Japanese families through a series of highly interactive activities. The program was structured around practical engagement, including seminars, communal prayers, and targeted Quran recitation sessions. These components were specifically designed to deepen the children's grasp of core Islamic values and actively cultivate their religious practices. The results following the program were noteworthy. Data indicated a significant boost in the participants’ understanding of Islamic character, marked by a 30% increase in comprehension. Furthermore, there was a 25% rise in their active engagement with religious practices. Beyond the statistical improvements, a crucial, lasting outcome was the successful establishment of a supportive community network. This network now provides a vital lifeline for Muslim families in Japan, helping them navigate their daily lives while securely maintaining their cultural and religious identity. This program's success underscores its critical importance for ensuring the continued development of Islamic character among the younger generation in Japan, directly addressing the unique cultural and societal challenges they face. The findings strongly affirm that interactive and hands-on methods are essential for effective character education, pointing to a clear need for sustained support and the expansion of similar programs to benefit more Muslim families across the country.

Abstract

Interest and motivation in learning mathematics among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) students remain relatively low, particularly in understanding basic arithmetic concepts such as addition and subtraction. This condition has led to poor learning outcomes and a lack of active student engagement in the learning process.This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Scratch-based learning media in improving MI students’ arithmetic skills. To achieve this objective, a qualitative research method with a case study approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman.The findings indicate that the use of Scratch media can enhance learning motivation, student engagement, and understanding of arithmetic concepts in a more enjoyable and interactive way. Thus, Scratch-based learning media is proven effective in improving the arithmetic skills of MI students. It is recommended that teachers utilize interactive digital media such as Scratch as an innovative alternative in teaching mathematics at the elementary madrasah level.

Abstract

There are strong shreds of evidence that the choice of instructional materials has large effects on students’ achievement. This study was to assess the efficacy of using ELT research papers as authentic materials in teaching research-based article writing. This study was aimed at revealing whether or not there is a significant difference in students’ writing skill in terms of ELT research paper writing between the students who were taught by using ELT research papers as authentic materials and those who were taught by using textbook materials provided by the faculty. This study belongs to a quasi-experimental study with an experimental and control group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study was 75 students from the fourth semester of English Education Study Program of IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. The sample was selected through cluster random sampling and consisted of 50 students that were divided into two groups. The instrument used to collect the data was a writing test. Consequently, normality and homogeneity of the data were tested. A t-test was used to compare the mean of the two groups. The hypothesis was designed and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that there is a significant difference in students’ academic writing skill between the students who were taught by using the ELT research papers as authentic materials and those who were taught by using textbook materials. The t-test revealed that t-value is higher than t-table (6.07>2.01). Therefore it is concluded that the authentic instructional materials could significantly improve students’ academic writing skill.

In recent years, Indonesian educational institutions and authorities have been concerned about religious intolerance and cultural diversity. According to some reports, Indonesia has recently seen an increase in the number of incidents involving religious intolerance as well as violations. Therefore, Indonesia's national motto, "unity in diversity," must be preserved by implementing preventative measures. This study explored the efforts accomplished by Indonesian EFL Teachers in fostering religious moderation in society in order to establish peace and harmony through the integration of religious moderation values in ELT instructional materials. Through a qualitative case study design, this study involved four EFL teachers in an Islamic State University in Central Java, Indonesia, as research participants. The data of this study were garnered through an in-depth interview with the four participants. The data of this study were then evaluated narratively.
