<![CDATA[Indonesia's educational system has undergone a shift from centralization to decentralisation due to the government's proactive efforts. Several programmes have been initiated to promote decentralisation, aiming to provide equal educational opportunities for all students and reduce disparities, especially for those who are disadvantaged. However, in reality some practices may not align with expectations This research aimed to impact the unequal access to education and public services for impoverished communities in Indonesia Employing a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, this study is based in 2 regencies and 2 cities in East Kalimantan province: Samarinda City, Bontang City, North Penajam Paser Regency, and East Kutai Regency. The research focuses solely on high school (SMA) and Vocational High School (SMK) students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Based on the analysis of the 4 districts/cities included in the study, it is evident that both local and central governments have been actively involved in enhancing education services. This is achieved through initiatives like the 12-year compulsory education, BOS funds, regional BOS funds, Poor Student Assistance (BSM), the Kaltim Cemerlang Scholarship, and quota allocations for underprivileged students. The interviews showed that the program has been running well and there is no discrimination. However, there are some obstacles, such as data inaccuracy, facilities and infrastructure.]]>

<![CDATA[The existing comprehension of the concept of limit is marked by a deficiency in prioritising the enhancement of students' cognitive frameworks. The aim of this study is to examine the formation of cognitive structures while acquiring the concept of limitations. This study utilises qualitative approaches, namely descriptive analysis, to examine the development of cognitive processes in the process of acquiring the concept of boundaries. This study investigates the investigation of cognitive structures to ascertain the process of drawing conclusions, with the aim of creating instructional materials that facilitate comprehension of the concept of constraints. The survey included students who were currently enrolled in the 2021/2022 academic year at three public senior high schools in Pontianak. The study aims to analyse the progression of students' cognitive structures during the acquisition of the concept of limitations. The results revealed that all 14 students showed competence in determining the limit of a continuous polynomial function, specifically in the context of a linear function and a quadratic function. Substitution is commonly used to determine the limit of a linear function and the limit of a quadratic function. Only a single student employs the attributes of the limit function and graph trajectory to solve these two categories of problems. Researchers can conduct further investigation to examine the misconceptions that students have regarding the limit of functions. These misconceptions can be detected by analysing problems that involve substitution and have solutions that are already known. In senior high school, it is advisable to use graphs and tables to teach the concept of limit function since they aid in facilitating the learning process.]]>

<![CDATA[In the current era of media saturation, the emphasis on teaching reading is on cultivating students' critical literacy abilities. This enables them to examine the specific social and political biases conveyed by an author and form a critical perspective on the topics addressed in a text. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a critical literacy model in enhancing students' critical literacy abilities during English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Reading classes. A quantitative analytic method was employed for experimental study. The study was conducted in the English Language Education Study Program at a private university situated in Yogyakarta. There were 20 students in the sampling. The individuals in question were students in their fifth semester who enroll in the Critical Reading Class during the Odd Semester of the Academic Year 2022/2023. The data were acquired through the methods of observation, questionnaire administration, interviews, and reading assessments. The study's findings showed that the model was effective, as evidenced by the results of the independent T test indicate a statistically significant difference, with a significance level (two-tailed) below 0.05. In addition, the scores of the pre-test and post-tests in the experimental class surpassed those in the control class. The experimental group demonstrated a substantial improvement in their post-test score, achieving a gain of 3.64 points. In summary, the implementation of the critical literacy framework yielded significant improvements in students' critical literacy skills across various dimensions, including precision, coherence, profundity, analysis, and the identification of latent implications.]]>

<![CDATA[Total Quality Management (TQM) is a management approach aimed at enhancing the quality of products, services, and organizational processes. In educational administration, TQM involves applying these principles to boost the efficiency and effectiveness of the education system. This study investigates whether TQM implementation improves digital transformation initiatives and service delivery in educational settings. Using a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Model (SEM), this research measures and analyzes the relationships between TQM, Digital Transformation, and Prime Services. The study population comprises students from the Faculty of Tarbiyah who have completed at least three semesters, providing them with sufficient experience to assess TQM's effectiveness. Nonprobability quota sampling is used to select respondents based on predetermined criteria. The findings reveal that all reflective indicator variables in the outer model are valid, with high reliability demonstrated by composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha values. The inner model testing shows that exogenous variables can be explained by endogenous variables, including TQM (X1), Digital Transformation (X2), and Prime Services (X3). The results indicate that TQM significantly impacts digital transformation and the enhancement of prime services in education. Recommendations for educational administrators include strengthening TQM principles, increasing investment in digital technology, and focusing on prime services to students. These steps can improve operational efficiency, educational quality, and responsiveness to student needs in the digital era.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to uncover and formulate a conceptual model, implementation strategy, and impact assessment of building prophetic character in students to address sociocultural changes in the global era. Using a qualitative multi-case study design, research was conducted at Madrasah Aliyah Swasta (MAS) Al-Ittifaqiah 2 Ogan Ilir and Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 3 Palembang. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Findings reveal that the vision is based on four pillars—the Qur'an and Hadith, culture, Pancasila, and government—while addressing consumer needs and anticipating sociocultural changes. This vision incorporates values of humanization, liberation, and transcendence, aiming to create "Ulama-intellectuals and intellectuals-Ulama." The model is executed through four pathways: formal education (KBM PAI) to establish an understanding of prophetic values, school-boarding culture to practice these values habitually and build discipline, extracurricular activities to stimulate the internal application of prophetic values, and family and environment to provide external control and reinforcement. Internal and external sociocultural factors act as both supporting and inhibiting instruments. The program fosters individual and social transformation, increasing participation in religious, environmental, and social activities. It also enhances the Madrasah's image as a holistic institution, addresses sociocultural anomalies, and promotes the prophetic paradigm, resulting in a resilient and adaptable prophetic character framework suitable for the global era. The study introduces the Interconnected-Prophetic Elaboration to Sociocultural Change (I-PESC) model, which effectively builds prophetic character, balancing spiritual and social dimensions while promoting unity and moderation. Future research should incorporate field studies to validate these findings and provide more robust evidence.]]>
