Abstract

Students must master the capacity to read comprehension because it is closely tied to their whole learning process and their ability to develop a broad perspective. Classroom Action Research was used in this study. The VAKT (Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic, and Tactile) method is used to increase students' reading comprehension skills. A diagnostic test to cycle I and cycle II (68.69 73.74 81.66) revealed that while students' average reading comprehension score was 68.69, after cycle I evaluation, their reading comprehension increased to 73.74, resulting in an increase in students' reading comprehension ability from the Diagnostic Test to cycle II of 81.66. and the results of previous research indicate that incorporating the VAKT learning approach (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, and tactile) into the classroom can raise students' interest and motivation to improve their reading comprehension, as evidenced by the results display.

Abstract

Stunting is a multidimensional child-growth problem shaped by biological, social, environmental, and family-behavior factors. This study examined the relationships of Islamic religious understanding and Islamic parenting behavior with a composite stunting-risk indicator among families with children under five in Mamuju Regency. A cross-sectional correlational design involved 150 parents or primary caregivers from five health-center service areas, with 30 respondents from each area, and data were collected from January to April 2025. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, multiple linear regression, and HC3 robust standard errors. Islamic religious understanding was positively correlated with Islamic parenting behavior (r = 0.269, p = 0.001) and weakly negatively correlated with the stunting-risk indicator (r = -0.171, p = 0.037). Islamic parenting behavior was not correlated with the stunting-risk indicator (r = -0.053, p = 0.522). In the simultaneous regression model, the coefficient for religious understanding was negative but not robust after HC3 adjustment (β = -0.169; p OLS = 0.047; p HC3 = 0.120), while parenting behavior remained nonsignificant (β = -0.007; p OLS = 0.932; p HC3 = 0.937). The model explained 2.9% of outcome variance. Thus, religious understanding was related to parenting behavior, but its relationship with the stunting-risk indicator was weak and sensitive to the estimation method, whereas the parenting score showed no statistical relationship with the outcome. Because the outcome was a composite score rather than a standard anthropometric diagnosis, the results should not be interpreted as evidence of stunting prevalence. Faith-sensitive education should therefore be integrated with nutrition, feeding practices, WASH, growth monitoring, and access to health services.
