Abstract

This study explores the role of social, cultural, and economic environments in determining employment opportunities for vocational high school graduates, with a case study at SMKN 1 Mondokan, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving students, alumni, teachers, parents, and industry partners. The results show that the social environment, particularly family support, teacher guidance, and peer influence plays a significant role in shaping graduates' readiness and access to employment. Culturally, local values, societal norms, and school work culture influence graduates' career perceptions and decisions, often creating tension between vocational ideals and traditional community expectations. Economically, the financial condition of graduates' families and the limited availability of local job opportunities significantly impact employment outcomes. Many graduates are compelled to work outside their area of expertise due to economic pressures or the lack of industry-aligned opportunities. Furthermore, although the school has implemented vocational programs such as internships, teaching factories, and entrepreneurship education, collaboration with industry remains inconsistent and fragmented. The study concludes that enhancing employment prospects for vocational graduates requires a systemic integration of educational institutions, industry partnerships, family involvement, and culturally adaptive career guidance. The findings contribute to strengthening the link between vocational education and the labor market, especially in semi-rural settings.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of the Ketarunaan extracurricular program on improving students’ punctuality at SMK Gula Rajawali, Kota Madiun. Punctuality is a fundamental aspect of character development that is essential for academic, social, and professional success. However, a lack of timeliness remains a persistent challenge in educational environments. The Ketarunaan program at this school is believed to hold significant potential in instilling discipline through its structured and distinctive activities. This research adopts a qualitative approach to explore how the implementation of the Ketarunaan program affects students' punctual behavior. The conceptual framework highlights three main mechanisms through which the program operates. First, the consistent practice of morning assemblies and marching routines trains students to arrive on time. Second, self-awareness training encourages students to understand the value of time and the consequences of indiscipline, fostering internal motivation. Third, a participatory approach and habituation across all Ketarunaan activities actively engage students, making them more motivated to comply with time-related rules. These three pillars synergistically contribute to the enhancement of students’ punctuality. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of the Ketarunaan program as a strategy for strengthening time discipline and to offer valuable insights for the development of similar programs in other educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of digital technology in the context of 21st century learning innovation, focusing on aspects of educational management and administration. Using a literature study approach, this study examines various national and international literature related to 21st century skills (4C), digital literacy, Learning Management System (LMS), and innovative learning models. The results of the study indicate that the integration of digital technology has a positive impact on learning effectiveness, increasing student participation, and efficiency of educational administration. In addition to pedagogical aspects, the success of digital transformation is greatly influenced by infrastructure readiness, educator competence, and school leadership and policies. The main challenge is found in the form of a digital divide between urban and 3T (underdeveloped, leading, and outermost) areas. This study offers a systemic approach to managing digital learning and suggests the need for cross-sector collaboration to create an adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable education ecosystem.

Abstract

This study examines strategies for equalizing educational access and promoting social justice for underprivileged communities in Indonesia through a qualitative approach and a literature review method. The research background highlights disparities in educational access due to high costs, geographical inequalities, and weaknesses in the implementation of government assistance policies. The literature review involved 15 journal articles published between 2020-2024, covering themes such as educational inequality, affirmative policies, and the concept of social justice in education. Descriptive-qualitative analysis reveals that although programs such as KIP (Indonesia Smart Card) and BOS (School Operational Assistance) have been implemented, challenges in distribution and data verification continue to hinder equality. Proposed strategies include strengthening community-based affirmative programs, decentralizing assistance policies, integrating social-educational data, improving educational literacy, and fostering cross-institutional partnerships. The findings affirm that educational management models should be oriented toward distributive justice and inclusivity, enabling them to address the economic, cultural, and structural barriers faced by poor communities. This research is expected to contribute theoretically to the sociology of education and provide practical recommendations for policymakers to strengthen educational inclusion for vulnerable groups.

Abstract

The Character education is a foundational element in shaping children's personality, particularly in the context of globalization where negative influences are prevalent. In Indonesia, Islamic character education rooted in religious values plays a crucial role in early childhood development. This study focuses on exploring the role of parents in the internalization of Islamic character values based on Muhammadiyah principles, especially Ilmu Amaliah (Practical Knowledge) and Amal Ilmiah (Scientific Practice), as implemented at Aisyiyah Unggulan Gemolong Elementary School. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with parents and teachers, participatory observation in school activities, and analysis of school documents. The data were then analyzed thematically to identify patterns of parental involvement and the integration of Muhammadiyah values in character education. The findings reveal that parental involvement takes multiple forms, including participation in parenting seminars, school committee meetings, use of communication books, and supervision of daily Islamic routines at home. The school supports this process through structured programs such as daily charity, social service activities, public speaking (khitobah), adhan training, and life skills development. A key component identified is the home visit program, which allows teachers to better understand students' home environments and foster deeper collaboration with families. The synergy between school and parents effectively promotes the internalization of Ilmu Amaliah (knowledge implemented in daily life) and Amal Ilmiah (action informed by reflective and scientific thinking). Through shared values and joint initiatives, students experience Islamic teachings not only cognitively but also through daily habits and social practices. The research underscores the importance of school-family collaboration in fostering Islamic character aligned with Muhammadiyah's progressive Islamic vision.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of parental involvement and family support on students' academic achievement. The background of the research is rooted in the phenomenon of declining student performance, which is not solely caused by internal factors, but also by external influences, particularly from the family environment. The research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational survey method. The sample consisted of 11th-grade students and their parents at SMA Islam Al Azhar 7 Solobaru, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure the level of parental involvement, types of family support, and students' academic outcomes, which were assessed through report card scores. The statistical analysis revealed a significant and positive correlation between parental involvement and students' academic achievement (r = 0.642; p < 0.01), as well as between family support and academic achievement (r = 0.599; p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that both variables simultaneously contributed 51.2% to student academic outcomes. These findings indicate that higher levels of parental engagement and stronger family support positively influence student learning outcomes. The results suggest a need for strengthened collaboration between schools and families as a strategic effort to improve educational quality.

Abstract

In early 2025, numerous cases of human rights violations in the circus industry emerged in Indonesia, bringing public attention to the exploitation of both workers and animals. This study explores the portrayal of exploitation in Francis Lawrence’s Water for Elephants through Karl Marx’s theory of labor exploitation combined with the animal ethics perspective of Singer and Regan, presenting an insightful dual perspective in film analysis. This qualitative research employs a literature study method, analyzing scenes, dialogues, and visual elements of the film. The findings reveal that Water for Elephants portrays various indicators of exploitation: hazardous work conditions, low wages, lack of healthcare access, abuse, and poor living conditions. These conditions reflect capitalist-driven oppression for profit maximization in circus environments. The study concludes that the movie serves as a critical commentary on the ethical implications of labor and animal rights violations, reinforcing the need for broader societal awareness and reform in the treatment of both humans and animals in entertainment sectors.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and design an effective school and parent collaboration model in supporting student learning outcomes. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive explorative with the subjects of the principal, teachers, and parents of MI Muhammadiyah Godog Polokarto Sukoharjo. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman technique which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that effective forms of collaboration include open two-way communication, active participation of parents in school activities, mentoring children's learning at home, and parent capacity building programs. However, there are obstacles such as time constraints, gaps in understanding learning methods, and the absence of systematic collaboration guidelines. This study resulted in a comprehensive and adaptive collaboration model design which is expected to be a practical guideline for schools to realize sustainable synergy, so that it has a positive impact on improving student learning outcomes in both academic and character aspects.
