<![CDATA[This research examines the impact of the Holistic Mathematics Education (HME) model based on the Among system on the mathematical concept understanding of third grade students at SD Negeri 21 Pulau Punjung. This model holds significant relevance to the current paradigm of liberating learning. In the era of modern education, there is a strong emphasis on learning approaches that promote independence, creativity, and critical thinking among students. The implementation of this model has shown an increase in mathematical concept understanding, as evidenced by statistical analysis (significance level 0.001). Based on the analysis results, it can be proven that the HME model based on the "among" system has a positive impact on the mathematical concept understanding of third-grade students at SDN 21 Pulau Punjung. The success of this method in enhancing mathematical concept understanding underscores the urgency to integrate more innovative and inclusive approaches in the mathematics curriculum, especially at the elementary level, as liberating education focuses not only on academic knowledge but also on the development of students' competencies and character. This study provides empirical evidence of the importance of adopting a more holistic and interactive educational model in elementary schools. Consequently, these findings support a transition towards more responsive, participatory, and future-ready learning methods.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to determine how teachers manage classes in elementary schools in multicultural educational settings. Elementary school teachers must design a learning process that integrates multicultural education so that teachers contribute positively to fostering students' nationalism and multicultural attitudes from an early age. The introduction of multiculturalism aims to shape the character of a country's children who can accept, understand, and respect all people of different races, personalities, social, ethnic, customs, and religions. Efforts to learn multicultural education in elementary schools must be carried out as a means of training and awareness for the younger generation so that they can accept and appreciate all multicultural differences. The research approach used is qualitative by conducting a literature review. The data analysis technique of this research is descriptive qualitative using the content analysis method. The results of this study are that multicultural education in elementary schools is systemic and holistic and needs to be developed based on national culture and character. The strategies teachers use in managing multicultural classrooms are an important part of realizing the lofty ideals of building the next generation who have the traits and characteristics of respecting, tolerating, and being fair to others regardless of their social background, ethnicity, religion, race, and class.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper explores the integration of Human Resources Management (HRM) and digital competencies as a strategic approach in higher education institutions. In this context, "digital competencies" refer to the ability of individuals to use digital technologies effectively and efficiently, encompassing a broad range of skills from basic digital literacy to advanced technical proficiencies. "Digital skills," on the other hand, are specific abilities required to operate digital tools and platforms, including data analysis, software usage, and online communication. Given the rapid advancement of digital technologies, higher education is at a pivotal juncture to embrace these changes to enhance administrative efficiency and academic excellence. The study utilizes a systematic literature review encompassing academic journals, industry reports, and policy documents to examine current practices and theoretical frameworks that align HRM with digital competencies within the sector. Key findings suggest that a strategic integration of digital skills in HRM not only optimizes operational processes but also fosters an environment conducive to digital learning and innovation. The research highlights several critical strategies, including the development of digital training programs for staff, the inclusion of digital competency frameworks in HR policies, and the strategic recruitment of tech-savvy personnel. Engagement with various stakeholders, such as faculty, administrative staff, and students, is crucial for the successful implementation of these strategies, ensuring that the institution's digital transformation aligns with the needs and expectations of its community. The paper concludes with recommendations for higher education leaders to cultivate a digitally competent workforce that can navigate and thrive in a technologically driven educational landscape. This approach is imperative for institutions aiming to maintain competitiveness and relevance in the digital age.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to illustrate the mapping of co-curricular achievements in Kurikulum Merdeka as an effort to build adaptive co-curricular programs utilizing the Problem-Centered Thinking Skills (PCTS) model. By analyzing the relevant documents and regulations, including the implementation guidelines of Kurikulum Merdeka, the dimensions, elements, and sub-elements of the co-curricular programs are analyzed. The findings indicate that a significant portion of co-curricular achievements can be effectively developed into adaptive programs through the application of the PCTS model. This study highlights the importance of integrating the PCTS model in shaping adaptive co-curricular activities that promote critical thinking skills and enhance students' critical thinking within the framework of Kurikulum Merdeka. These insights provide practical recommendations for educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers to facilitate the formation of adaptive co-curricular programs that foster student engagement and develop essential skills. By incorporating the PCTS model, co-curricular activities can become dynamic platforms for students to actively participate in real-world problem-solving, nurturing their critical thinking abilities.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aimed to describe the level of moral reasoning of adolescents in Yogyakarta with different levels of education as a measuring tool for comparison of results and examine them using a systemic-relational paradigm. The research design was a quantitative descriptive survey of adolescents in three secondary schools using purposive sampling. There were 94 junior high school, 93 high school, and 90 vocational high school students. The instrument used in this study was Rest's Defining Issues Test (DIT2) to measure adolescent moral reasoning. The results showed that students' ethical reasoning at different levels of education was mainly at level II (conventional), with stage 4, which was oriented towards legal, social, and religious order, or law and order. The data were then analysed and reviewed using a relational systemic paradigm approach to determine the factors that influence the moral reasoning of adolescents at school. Students' moral reasoning is influenced by their interactions with their environment, family, peers, educational institutions, personal experiences, culture, religion, and perceptions of justice and truth. This paradigm recognises that moral reasoning is not only the result of individual processes but is also influenced by broader environmental factors. Therefore, moral education must focus on students' social and ecological contexts to facilitate the development of better moral reasoning.]]>

A sample of 158 teachers was selected using cluster random sampling techniques. Employing a quantitative correlational approach with an ex-post facto research design, this study analyzed the collected data to determine the relationships between the variables. The results indicate that principal leadership contributes 22.3% to teacher performance, while school climate contributes 68%. Together, principal leadership and school climate account for 62.7% of the variance in teacher performance. The overall teacher performance score was 83.46%, categorized as good. Principal leadership scored 84.16%, also in the good category, and school climate scored 84.66%, deemed conducive. These findings underscore the significant impact of leadership and environmental factors within schools on enhancing teacher performance, suggesting that targeted improvements in these areas could substantially elevate educational outcomes.]]>
