Abstract

Basic literacy skills are fundamental in developing high-quality human resources from an early age. However, many children in Padangsidimpuan still face difficulties in recognizing letters, reading syllables, and understanding simple texts. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of basic literacy training through a community-based education program in improving children’s early literacy abilities. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The subjects consisted of 20 children who participated in four sessions of literacy training. Data were collected through literacy tests covering letter recognition, syllable reading, and comprehension of short texts. The data were analyzed by comparing the pretest and post-test results. The findings show a significant improvement in all aspects of basic literacy. The average pretest score of 56 increased to 82 in the post-test. Children also demonstrated higher learning motivation, engagement, and self-confidence throughout the program. The community-based education approach successfully created a fun, meaningful, and participatory learning environment, making it a promising solution to the low literacy skills among children in the area. In conclusion, basic literacy training through community education programs is effective in supporting the development of early reading skills in children and is feasible to be replicated in other communities. This study highlights the importance of collaboration between the community, parents, and educators in realizing an intelligent young generation in Padangsidimpuan.

Abstract

This study examines the philosophical and legal basis of the sale and purchase agreement of bankrupt objects involving the assets of the debtor who has been declared bankrupt. The transaction is not merely an economic exchange, but must also integrate ethical values ​​of muamalah, such as good faith (husn al-niyyah), distributive justice, and transparency of information in order to minimize the level of uncertainty (gharar) inherent in bankrupt assets Faustina & Hoesin (2022). From an Islamic perspective, the basic sharia principles that guide the validity of the sale and purchase agreement are an important foundation so that the rights of buyers with good faith are maintained and protection of creditor interests is still accommodated through mechanisms such as actio pauliana (Haryanto & Calvin, 2021). Furthermore, this study highlights the problems that arise in legal practice, such as the validity of the sale and purchase agreement (PPJB) that has not been formally certified, which has the potential to complicate legal certainty for buyers and threaten the balance between private and public interests (Amini & Wardani, 2023). By applying a normative legal methodology that relies on secondary data from legal literature and court decisions, this study formulates a transaction mechanism that not only ensures fairness and transparency, but also strengthens the integrity of the legal and economic systems in bankruptcy situations. On the other hand, the integration of ethical values ​​​​and principles of justice is expected to create harmonious cooperation between bankrupt actors, creditors, and good-faith buyers, thereby creating sustainable legal stability and certainty.
