Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of a realistic mathematics learning approach (PMR) on the ability to recognize the concept of numbers. This research is a quantitative research with pre-experimental design. This research was conducted at Pertiwi Batusangkar Kindergarten, Tanah Datar District. The data collection technique in this study is total sampling. In general, the results of this study indicate that the open-ended learning approach has a significant effect, that t0 is greater than the tt value table (14.01> 2.9980), so the null hypothesis (h0) proposed is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (ha) accepted to develop the ability to recognize children's number concepts at the age of 4-5 years. Thus the realistic mathematics education learning approach (PMR) has an effect on the introduction of the concept of numbers in early childhood.

Abstract

The formation of numerical concepts is a critical stage in early childhood development. Understandingnumbers lays the groundwork for future mathematical abilities and academic success. This study aimsto investigate the effect of an open-ended learning strategy on the capacity of 4-5-year-old childrento recognize number concepts. To reach the research goal, a quantitative approach was used, alongwith experimental methodologies. The study participants were children aged 4-5 years old, and datawas collected via total sampling. The experimental group was taught using an open-ended learningtechnique, while the control group followed a traditional structured teaching method. Pre-and post-testswere used to examine the children’s ability to recognize number concepts. Statistical analysis, includingt-tests, was used to compare the performance of the experimental and control groups. The results of thisstudy show that using an open-ended learning strategy improves the capacity of 4-5-year-old children torecognize number concepts. In comparison to traditional structured teaching method, the open-endedapproach stimulates active inquiry, independent thinking, and problem-solving, which improves children’scognitive development with regard to numerical concepts. This study suggests that open-ended learningtechniques are excellent educational strategies for developing number concept identification in youngchildren. This study’s findings have ramifications for early childhood educators and curriculum makers.This study stresses the necessity of implementing such tactics in educational settings by demonstratingthe benefits of an open-ended learning strategy in developing number concept awareness. Open-endedlearning techniques can improve children’s mathematics ability while also contributing to their generalcognitive development. Furthermore, these findings may motivate additional study and inquiry into theuse of open-ended learning approaches in various domains of early childhood education, increasing ourunderstanding of successful teaching strategies for young children.

Abstract

The conventional strategic management approach often overlooks ethical and spiritual dimensions, despite the increasing complexity of global challenges that necessitate the integration of such values. This study aims to analyze the application of Sharia-based strategic management in organizations or companies to establish an efficient, competitive managerial system grounded in Islamic ethical principles such as ʿadl (justice), ṣidq (truthfulness), amānah (trustworthiness), and iḥsān (excellence). The methodology includes literature review, a qualitative approach, and case studies with normative analysis of scholarly literature, fatwas, trade contracts, and online business practices. The main findings indicate that Sharia-based strategic management can achieve a balance between operational efficiency and competitive advantage while maintaining spiritual and social values. Three key pillars were identified: ethics as the foundation of strategy, efficiency in resource management aligned with the prohibition of isrāf (wastefulness), and the pursuit of long-term, value-driven competitive advantage. This study concludes that the model is not only applicable to Islamic organizations but also holds potential as a universal framework for sustainable modern managerial practices. The findings offer both conceptual and practical contributions to the development of management systems that integrate religious values with contemporary business goals.

Abstract

Dengue remains a major vector-borne disease and a persistent public health problem in Indonesia. West Java is one of the provinces with a high dengue burden, while climatic variability may shape ecological conditions that support Aedes mosquito survival and dengue transmission. This study aimed to describe the spatial distribution of dengue incidence according to rainfall, air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed in West Java from 2019 to 2023. A descriptive ecological time-series study was conducted using aggregated dengue data from 27 districts/cities and climate data from four meteorological stations managed by the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics. Dengue incidence rates were mapped at the district/city level, while climate variables were interpolated using the Inverse Distance Weighting method in QGIS and classified with natural breaks. Spatial overlay was used to identify visual coincidence between dengue incidence and climate variability. Dengue incidence showed an uneven spatial pattern, with higher incidence repeatedly observed in Bandung Raya, parts of Bogor, Sumedang, and Tasikmalaya. Areas with higher dengue incidence often coincided with moderate-to-high rainfall, warm temperatures, high relative humidity, and relatively low wind speed. These findings suggest that integrating climate information into routine dengue surveillance may support risk stratification and early warning in West Java. Further analytical studies are needed to quantify the association between climate variability and dengue incidence.
