In the current era of information technology, web-based training systems are critical for enhancing the efficiency of training processes. This study focuses on the development of a Management Information System (MIS) tailored for computer programming training, utilizing a web-based training (WBT) platform. The primary objective is to introduce a framework for a web-based MIS that optimizes the management and delivery of computer programming courses. Computer programming education presents unique challenges, such as real-time participant tracking and dynamic content management, which are addressed by this MIS. The system was developed using the waterfall model, with data collected through interviews, observations, and requirements analysis. Key features include training schedule management, participant tracking, material organization, session management, evaluation tools, and reporting capabilities. Real-time feedback enhances participant engagement, while session management improves the overall learning experience. The web-based platform offers flexible access and simplifies the management of training processes, enabling users to track schedules, access materials, and monitor progress. Validation results show a high validity score (V = 0.883), exceeding the required threshold, and the materials received a validity score of 0.864, confirming their suitability for basic programming competency training at Medan State University. These results demonstrate the system’s effectiveness and potential for wider application, making it a valuable tool for improving the management and delivery of programming courses across various educational contexts.

This quantitative study examines the impact of entrepreneurial competence and education on the performance of small industrial enterprises, specifically in Medan's leather shoes and wood furniture industries. The research focuses on a sample of 154 businesses from a total population of 250, utilizing questionnaires and Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) for analysis. The findings highlight the positive influence of entrepreneurial competence and non-formal education on business performance. The study underscores self-efficacy's role as a mediator between entrepreneurial competence and performance, indicating that entrepreneurs with higher self-efficacy effectively navigate business challenges. However, the study doesn't confirm self-efficacy as a mediator for formal and non-formal education's impact on performance. This suggests that while competence and non-formal education directly benefit performance, the interplay of self-efficacy with formal education is more complex. In conclusion, the research emphasizes the importance of entrepreneurial competence for business success and the role of self-efficacy in overcoming challenges. While self-efficacy's role in formal education needs more exploration, this study enhances understanding of factors affecting small industrial enterprises' performance, offering practical insights for ambitious entrepreneurs.

This study investigates the processes of knowledge sharing, retention, and production within Indonesian Islamic universities, employing a case study approach. The research prioritizes qualitative data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data analysis involved descriptive methods based on events observed during field activities. Findings reveal that knowledge sharing among lecturers primarily revolves around interaction, communication, and the exchange of information, knowledge, and experiences both face-to-face and virtually. Policies at the faculty and program levels facilitate these activities, emphasizing the collaboration between senior and junior lecturers in research and community service. Knowledge production is inherently linked to knowledge sharing and retention, occurring organically within the university setting. However, the contribution and intervention of faculties and study programs remain limited. Enhanced involvement of faculties and programs in implementing knowledge management practices is essential for improving overall performance. Consequently, it is imperative for universities to adopt knowledge management as a foundational aspect of their operations.

This study investigates the incorporation of the Pancasila learner profile in the Mardika Basa lan Sastra Jawa textbook for grade VII SMP/MTs and its alignment with Javanese cultural character values. The Pancasila learner profile aims to cultivate students' values and character based on Indonesia's foundational philosophy. Understanding how textbooks reflect these values, particularly within the context of Javanese culture, is important for character education. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to analyze the textbook. Data were collected through data cards, questionnaires, and interviews with teachers. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman technique, and data validity was ensured through triangulation. The findings indicate that the Mardika Basa lan Sastra Jawa textbook for grade VII, following the Merdeka Curriculum, integrates the Pancasila learner profile in each chapter. This is reflected in the value content, lesson preparation, and learning activities. The Javanese cultural character values corresponding to the Pancasila student profile include andhap asor (humility), babar binuka (openness), tepa salira (tolerance), laku hambeging kartika (noble conduct), wicaksana (wisdom), and niteni, nirokke, nambahi (observe, imitate, add). The study highlights that Javanese cultural values align well with the Pancasila learner profile, contributing positively to character development. These values not only strengthen the national identity but also foster ethical and responsible behavior among students. This research provides valuable insight into how Javanese cultural values can reinforce the Pancasila learner profile in education, supporting national character-building efforts.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating Civics Education and Religious Education materials in enhancing students' understanding of citizenship concepts and moral values. The study involves detailing the number of students and the demographic information of two groups of 10th-grade students from three well-accredited high schools in Ambon City, with each group consisting of 35 students: one experimental group and one control group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, classroom observations, and questionnaires. The research results indicate that the experimental group experienced an increase in average scores from 60 to 85, while the control group only increased from 60 to 70. Paired t-test analyses showed that this increase was statistically significant, with t-values of 3.34 for the experimental group and 2.10 for the control group, both groups having a significance level smaller than 0.05. Observations and questionnaires also revealed that students in the experimental group were more active in classroom discussions and exhibited a more positive attitude toward the material taught. These findings affirm that the integration of civics and Religious Education materials can significantly enhance students' understanding, attitudes, and behaviors regarding moral values and citizenship. This research underscores the significant impact of integrating Civics and Religious Education on enhancing students' understanding of citizenship and moral values. It contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence and emphasizing the necessity of comprehensive teacher training to effectively implement holistic curricula. The implications of this study highlight the need for adequate teacher preparation and ongoing evaluation to ensure successful curriculum integration, positioning this approach as an effective strategy in moral education to shape a younger generation with integrity and responsibility.

This research aims to empirically examine the influence of lecturer competencies, students' digital experience, and self-regulated learning moderated by digital learning facilities on students' subjective perceptions of blended learning. The study employs an explanatory quantitative method involving a population of 328 students, with 273 respondents participating in lectures using the blended learning model at universities in Lampung Province. An analysis is conducted using the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) model, preceded by tests for normality and reliability. Simultaneous testing of students' subjective perceptions of blended learning indicates a significant value. Another finding in this research reveals that students' experiences, such as knowledge, usage, awareness, information-seeking skills, and information sharing, predominantly influence students' subjective views on blended learning, with a coefficient value approaching one, namely 0.975. Recommendations for future research could focus on evaluating the success of the blended learning model through a combination of face-to-face learning within the classroom and the utilization of Learning Management Systems (LMS), considering the social, cognitive, and affective environment that supports students.

Toilet training is one of the important efforts in improving the independence and personal hygiene of preschool children, especially in the context of thaharah values in Islam. This study aims to describe the efforts to improve thaharah and independence of preschool children through toilet training in two daycare centers in Semarang City. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study approach model. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with educators, and documentation. The results showed that both daycare centers have integrated the values of thaharah in their toilet training programs. The approaches used include habituation, modeling, and the use of language that is suitable for children's understanding. In addition to increasing independence in toilet use, the toilet training program also succeeded in fostering children's awareness of the importance of maintaining personal hygiene in accordance with religious teachings. Challenges faced in implementing toilet training include differences in children's characteristics, lack of parental support, and limited facilities. This study contributes to the development of toilet training programs that are oriented towards religious values. Recommendations include the importance of collaboration between educators, parents, and religious leaders in instilling the values of thaharah from an early age. In addition, it is necessary to develop a more comprehensive curriculum that integrates cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects in the toilet training process.
