Abstract

This study explores the strategies and readiness of the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Program at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) in developing a global-standard education model rooted in local and national values. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews with educators and administrators, and document analysis at TK-KB-DC Lab UPI Bumi Siliwangi. The findings reveal that UPI’s laboratory school implements a contextual learning ecosystem by integrating child-centered pedagogy, holistic-integrative early education, and multicultural values, while incorporating national curriculum regulations. The learning environment fosters creativity, empathy, and independent thinking through thematic, play-based, and multisensory activities. Strategies such as the BKBB (Culture, National Character, and Play) model, international partnerships, digital learning integration, and active parent involvement highlight the institution’s adaptability to global education demands. This research concludes that UPI successfully builds a prototype of early childhood education that is globally competitive yet deeply rooted in Indonesian cultural and educational values, supporting the vision of World Class Education.

Abstract

This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) aimed at improving students' critical thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education at SMK Negeri 7 Sarolangun through the implementation of the Mind Mapping Method. The study was conducted in two cycles with four stages in each cycle: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 24 students from class X who participated in the implementation of this method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation to assess the development of students' critical thinking abilities. The results showed an improvement in critical thinking skills in each cycle. In cycle I, students' critical thinking skills reached 87.5% with an excellent category, while in cycle II, it increased to 93.57% with an excellent category. This improvement demonstrates the effectiveness of the Mind Mapping Method in helping students organize ideas, connect concepts, and analyze learning materials more systematically. Therefore, this study proves that the Mind Mapping-based learning method can be an effective alternative in improving critical thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education at SMK Negeri 7 Sarolangun. The implications of these findings highlight the importance of innovative teaching methods to support the optimal development of students' critical thinking abilities.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the efforts of Akidah Akhlak teachers in shaping students' good character at MTs Aradal-Haq Pematang Lumut in Jambi Province, the obstacles faced in its implementation, and the results achieved from these efforts. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation with the main informants being Akidah Akhlak teachers, supported by the head of the madrasah and students of MTs Aradal-Haq Pematang Lumut. Data analysis was carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that Akidah Akhlak teachers play an active role in shaping students' akhlakul karimah through various efforts, including setting an example, instilling good and religious behavior, providing advice and motivation, relating Akidah Akhlak material to everyday life, and providing educational reprimands and sanctions. The obstacles faced by Akidah Akhlak teachers include differences in students' family and environmental backgrounds, low awareness and discipline among some students, the influence of social circles and social media, limited learning time, and a lack of cooperation with some parents. Nevertheless, various consistent and continuous guidance efforts have shown positive results, marked by an increase in politeness, discipline, responsibility, awareness of worship, and the formation of positive behavioral habits in students' daily lives. Thus, the role of Akidah Akhlak teachers has proven to be very important and strategic in nurturing character and instilling akhlakul karimah values in students at MTs Aradal-Haq Pematang Lumut, Jambi Province.
