Teacher welfare is a crucial factor influencing motivation and performance, especially in early childhood education settings. This study investigates the effect of welfare fulfillment on teacher performance, with work motivation as a mediating variable, among kindergarten teachers in Tunjungan District, Blora Regency. A quantitative ex post facto design was employed, involving a total population of 82 kindergarten teachers through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis in SPSS 25 to test both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings revealed that teacher welfare fulfillment significantly influenced work motivation, with a path coefficient of 0.742 (R² = 0.551). Welfare fulfillment also had a direct positive effect on teacher performance, while motivation had a significant effect on performance with a path coefficient of 0.745 (R² = 0.250). The indirect effect of welfare on performance through motivation (0.55) was greater than the direct effect (0.318), confirming the mediating role of motivation. These results suggest that fulfilling teachers’ welfare needs—both material and psychosocial—enhances motivation and, consequently, improves professional performance. The study supports motivational theories such as Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and McClelland’s theory, emphasizing the importance of well-being in educational outcomes. Welfare fulfillment plays a vital role in enhancing teacher motivation and performance. Future studies should explore additional variables and broader contexts to increase the generalizability of the findings.

English proficiency is vital for chemical engineering students to access scientific literature and technical documentation. Among the critical skills, reading comprehension plays a central role. This study investigates the relationship between reading self-efficacy and reading comprehension in first-year chemical engineering students at Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 66 participants. Data were gathered using a reading self-efficacy questionnaire and a standardized reading comprehension test. Pearson product-moment correlation analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel to determine the relationship between the two variables. The analysis indicated a moderate positive correlation between reading self-efficacy and reading comprehension (r = 0.469). The p-value (7.04 × 10⁻⁵) was below the 0.05 threshold, confirming statistical significance. These findings suggest that students with higher confidence in their reading abilities tend to perform better in reading comprehension tasks. The results support the initial hypothesis that self-efficacy significantly influences reading comprehension. This underscores the need for instructional strategies that build students' confidence in reading. To enhance reading comprehension among chemical engineering students, educators should prioritize methods that foster reading self-efficacy. One effective approach is the use of top-down reading strategies, which encourage active engagement with texts and can improve both confidence and comprehension outcomes.

Character education in early childhood is often dominated by verbal instruction, which may limit children's ability to internalize moral values through lived experience. This study explores the potential of multisensory character education—an approach that engages visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile senses—to enhance social–emotional development among young learners in Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive survey was conducted with 20 early childhood teachers at RA Al Jihad, Malang. A 30-item Likert-scale questionnaire measured three constructs: multisensory character education, children’s social development, and emotional development. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. Teachers reported high levels of multisensory implementation (M = 4.21), with similarly high ratings for children’s social (M = 4.18) and emotional (M = 4.09) development. A strong positive correlation was found between multisensory character education and social–emotional outcomes (r = 0.683, p 0.01), with 46.6% variance explained (R² = 0.466). These findings suggest that multisensory strategies, grounded in experiential learning and sociocultural theory, effectively promote empathy, cooperation, and emotional regulation. This study expands current literature by demonstrating that multisensory learning supports not only cognitive but also affective and behavioral development in early childhood. Practical implications point to the need for more sensory-rich, child-centered pedagogies in character education programs.

This study investigates the indicators of social literacy embedded in the social and cultural diversity material within the Pancasila and Citizenship Education textbook for Grade IV of elementary schools (SD/MI), published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. Social literacy is essential for fostering students’ awareness and appreciation of Indonesia’s diverse society. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study employed content analysis to examine the textbook. Data were collected through systematic reading and note-taking. The analysis followed six stages: data collection, sampling, recording, data reduction, conclusion drawing, and narrative construction. The findings reveal that the textbook integrates social literacy through its presentation of social and cultural diversity. The content not only introduces key social and cultural concepts but also encourages the development of interpersonal skills, such as communication, empathy, and openness to difference. These elements promote active engagement with diversity in everyday social contexts. The integration of social literacy within the textbook fosters a deeper student understanding of ethnic, religious, cultural, and linguistic diversity in Indonesia. This approach supports the formation of student character grounded in the values of tolerance, inclusivity, and national identity. By embedding these principles in Pancasila and Citizenship Education, the curriculum contributes to shaping responsible citizens who value plurality as a foundational aspect of Indonesian society.

This study investigates the structure and relevance of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching materials at Padjadjaran University, focusing on their impact on student learning outcomes and the effectiveness of instructional media. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing thematic and content analysis. Data were gathered through interviews with lecturers, classroom observations, and an in-depth review of Semester Learning Plans (RPS) and PowerPoint (PPT) teaching materials. The analysis shows that current PAI materials successfully incorporate key themes such as Islamic moderation and anti-corruption values. However, they fall short in fostering active student engagement and interactivity. The use of static media, such as text-heavy PPTs, limits the development of critical thinking and practical application. To address these issues, the study recommends enhancing teaching materials with multimedia content and real-world case studies. Furthermore, aligning the curriculum with Outcome-Based Education (OBE) principles could strengthen the development of global competencies and 21st-century skills within an Islamic ethical framework. Improving PAI teaching materials through multimedia integration and OBE alignment can significantly enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. These strategies offer practical pathways to better prepare students to navigate contemporary challenges while upholding Islamic values.
