Abstract

The swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is a critical domestic ruminant in Indonesia. Continuous morphological evaluation is vital for conserving this genetic resource. This study characterized qualitative and quantitative traits of swamp buffalo populations in Tuban and Pacitan districts, East Java, Indonesia. Using purposive sampling, 64 adult buffaloes (32 per district) were assessed. Buffalo samples aged more than 25 months, regardless of sex. Qualitative analysis identified regional variation in body stature and coloration between populations. Quantitative metrics included chest girth, body length, height, head length, neck length, tail length, horn length, and estimated body weight. Tuban buffaloes exhibited a chest girth of 182.31 ± 24.76 cm, body length of 148.94 ± 22.34 cm, height of 119.56 ± 12.48 cm, head length of 46.63 ± 7.80 cm, neck length of 42.88 ± 7.70 cm, tail length of 76.63 ± 9.15 cm, horn length of 14.44 ± 3.98 cm, and estimated body weight of 1045.49 ± 401.51 kg. Pacitan buffaloes displayed higher averages, including a chest girth of 194.44 ± 24.49 cm, body length of 152.25 ± 23.83 cm, height of 122.13 ± 16.81 cm, head length of 49.88 ± 5.28 cm, neck length of 44.31 ± 8.24 cm, tail length of 77.69 ± 10.24 cm, horn length of 13.63 ± 3.90 cm, and estimated body weight of 1208.98 ± 415.66 kg. Despite these differences, one-way ANOVA revealed no statistically significant divergence (p > 0.05) in quantitative traits between populations. These findings provide critical baseline data for conserving East Java’s swamp buffaloes.

Abstract

Background: Character education plays a vital role in shaping students’ behavior and attitudes, particularly in the development of social character during adolescenceSocial Science, as a subject that discusses human relationships and social phenomena, serves as a strategic medium for internalizing character values. Objective: This study aims to examine the implementation of character education through integrated Social Science learning in shaping the social character of junior high school students. Method: A descriptive qualitative approach was employed in this study, which was conducted at Al Hasib Junior High School, Pakis District, Malang Regency in 2024. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of time and technique. Result: The findings show that the implementation of character education at Al Hasib Junior High School is conducted through three main school programs: (1) curriculum development that integrates character values into learning materials; (2) extracurricular and school-wide activities designed to cultivate students' social behavior; (3) evaluation mechanisms to assess character development; and (4) the application of core character pillars. Overall, these efforts align with the guidelines issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. Conclusion: Integrated Social Science learning can be effectively utilized as a vehicle for character education, especially in fostering social character among junior high school students. The structured programs and institutional policies at Al Hasib Junior High School have successfully supported this educational goal. Contribution: This study provides practical insights for educators and school policymakers into how character education can be systematically implemented through subject-based learning. It serves as a reference for schools aiming to integrate character values into their curriculum and build a strong social foundation in their students.
