Abstract

Indonesia has a rich diversity of ethnicity, religion, race, and intergroup (SARA) with more than 1,300 ethnic groups and six official religions, yet the challenge of intolerance in schools still occurs frequently. This study developed a lapbook-based Project Based Learning (PjBL) model to instill the value of unity in ethnicity, religion, race, and intergroup (SARA) diversity in PPKn learning for seventh-grade students at Baitul Quran Darut Tauhid School, Bandung, to address the challenge of intolerance that is still rampant among adolescents. The main objective is to design a systematic learning plan with core components that transform passive learning into authentic projects, thereby enhancing cognitive understanding, tolerance attitudes, and cross-group collaboration in accordance with the Pancasila Student Profile and the Independent Curriculum. This research method is descriptive qualitative with 9 seventh-grade students as participants through purposeful sampling, data collection through participant observation during six PjBL phases, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis of 12 interactive lapbooks produced, analyzed through thematic data reduction, matrix presentation, and source triangulation for validity. The results of the study indicate that effective learning planning produces a visualization lapbook of SARA harmony (ethnic flap, racial-intergroup graph), increasing tolerance attitudes, intergroup collaboration, with integrated authentic assessments that coordinate holistic transformation in 21st-century 4C skills. The implications of the study produce a ready-to-use lapbook-based PjBL module for multicultural schools, which reduces SARA polarization and strengthens national cohesion through the best practices of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

Traditional games represent an important repository of local wisdom and serve as ethnopedagogical resources that transmit cultural values, social norms, and indigenous knowledge across generations. Their decline therefore poses a serious threat not only to cultural continuity but also to culturally grounded learning practices. In Southeast Sulawesi (Bumi Anoa), Indonesia, the increasing dominance of digital play has significantly reduced children’s engagement with traditional games, weakening ethnopedagogical transmission. This study addresses this gap by examining: (1) The distribution and currenct status of traditional games in South east Sulawesi, (2) Their embedded ethnopedagogical values and (3) their continuity in children’s practices. Employing a qualitative multiple-site case study design, data were collected across 17 regencies and cities through field observation, semi-structured interviews with 20 cultural practitioners and community members, educator, researcher and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to reveal cultural meanings, pedagogical values, and transmission patterns embedded in the games. The results show that 38 traditional games were identified across 17 regencies and cities in Southeast Sulawesi, with approximately 90% no longer actively played by children, indicating a significant disruption in ethnopedagogical transmission. While many games share structural similarities with traditional games from other regions, linguistic variations reflect strong localized cultural identities. Only about 10% of the games persist, primarily through adult-led cultural performances or competitions, and institutional documentation remains fragmented and limited. This study contributes a comprehensive regional mapping that bridges cultural documentation and integration of Traditional games into culturally responsive learning to sustain local wisdom in digitalized context.

Abstract

Developing creative thinking skills and sustainability awareness is an important challenge in science learning, especially in dealing with global issues related to sustainability. However, prior studies have often emphasized guided inquiry or project-based approaches, while empirical evidence on the effectiveness of free inquiry particularly in simultaneously strengthening creative thinking and sustainability awareness at the junior high school level remains limited, creating a scientific urgency to test its impact in authentic classroom settings. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing free inquiry learning model in improving junior high school students' creative thinking skills and sustainability awareness. The research used a quasi-experimental method with a matching-only pretest–posttest control group design involving 60 class IX students, consisting of an experimental class and a control class. Research instruments include creative thinking skills tests, sustainability awareness questionnaires, and learning implementation observation sheets. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative techniques and conclusions were drawn based on samples using statistical tests. The research results show that the implementation of free inquiry model is in the very good category. The increase in students' creative thinking skills in the experimental class was moderate and higher than the control class. Apart from that, the sustainability awareness of experimental class students increased significantly and had a strong positive relationship with creative thinking skills. Statistical testing indicated significant posttest differences between groups (p < 0.05), supported by higher learning gains in the experimental class (N-gain = 0.45) compared to the control class (N-gain = 0.30), with the strongest improvements observed in originality and the conceptual–experiential dimensions of sustainability awareness. These findings indicate that free inquiry model is effective in developing students' 21st century competencies.

Abstract

The development of research-based science and technology presents challenges for pesantren in integrating religious and scientific knowledge in a coherent manner. Such integration requires not only curricular adaptation but alse a clear educational philosophy as a foundation for guiding educational practice. This study aims to: (1) examine the construction of educational philosophy, including its metaphysical, epistemological, and axiological dimensions in the integrative development of science-technology research; and (2) analyze the educational goals and institutional governance that support this development at MBS Al-Amin Bojonegoro. This qualitative case study employed document analysis and semi-structured interviews with key institutional actors. Peer debriefing was conducted to strengthen the credibility and validity of the data.  Data were analyzed through five stages: data collection, coding, categorization, interpretation, synthesis and reporting using George R. Knight framework as an analytical lens.. The findings show that the development of science and technology research is grounded in two main paradigms, namely Nushusisasi Sains (Scripturalization of Science) and Saintifikasi Nushush (Scientification of Scripture). These paradigms position knowledge as originating from Allah Swt. and emphasize its ethical orientation toward human well-being. The integration of religion and science-technology is further reflected in its institutional governance, including curriculum structure, teacher development, and research-based learning process. This study contributes by providing a structured philosophical analysis of science -religion integration using George R. Knight’s framework and by showing how philosophical assumptions shape educational governance and research development in pesantren.

Abstract

Tolerance serves as an essential foundation within the plurality of global society; however, contemporary social realities continue to exhibit complex challenges, including discrimination and intolerant narratives that erode social cohesion. Religious educational institutions, specifically Pesantren, play a pivotal role in mitigating these issues through the strategic internalization of spiritual values. This study aims to analyze the mechanisms of internalizing tolerance values among students at Pesantren of Darul Istiqomah for Female Campus, Bondowoso. Some existing studies have not answered how women's Pesantren internalize the character of tolerance. So, this study seeks to fill the gap. Adopting a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews with institutional authorities (the Director of TMI, caregivers, and teachers), and documentation. The data were subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that the cultivation of a tolerant character is executed through three integrated pathways: curricular (classroom instruction), co-curricular (supervised night study), and extracurricular (independent activities and organizational mandates). Furthermore, the 24-hour dormitory system acts as a primary catalyst in fostering spiritual discipline and social sensitivity among students. The implications of this research underscore that a holistic, Pesantren-based educational model which integrates formal instruction with controlled residential life effectively produces moderate individual profiles. This study offers a theoretical contribution to the development of character education curricula as a response to the global crisis of tolerant through a value-based pedagogical approach.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate a Metro City cultural heritage-based science storybook as integrated literacy media for science and Indonesian language learning in elementary school. The development employed the Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), involving expert validators, readability testing participants, and 90 fourth-grade students across three schools for quasi-experimental field testing. Results showed that the storybook met very valid criteria based on expert validation (material 90.4%, language 89.6%, media 91.2%) and achieved a very practical readability rating. Field testing demonstrated significant learning improvements, with the experimental group attaining high N-Gain scores of 0.74 (scientific literacy) and 0.71 (Indonesian language), compared to 0.42 and 0.41 in the control group, supported by very large effect sizes (Cohen's d = 1.92 and 1.67). This study contributes a novel triple integration model that connects science concepts, Indonesian language genres, and local cultural heritage within a unified elementary thematic learning medium.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between curricular transition quality and the religiosity–morality index of university students within the context of higher education reform. Contemporary curriculum changes increasingly emphasize holistic student development, including ethical and spiritual dimensions; however, empirical evidence on their impact remains limited. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 285 undergraduate students who experienced both previous and newly implemented curricula at Universitas Muhmmadiyah Bandung. Data were collected using the Curricular Transition Quality Questionnaire (32 items) and the Religiosity–Morality Index Scale (28 items). Both instruments demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with factor loadings ranging from 0.724–0.892, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) above 0.50, Composite Reliability exceeding 0.90, and Cronbach’s alpha values above 0.89, indicating adequate validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal a significant positive relationship between curricular transition quality and the religiosity–morality index (β = 0.584, p < 0.001), with moderate explanatory power. Among the dimensions, implementation fidelity and faculty competence emerged as the strongest predictors. In conclusion, the quality of curriculum transition plays a substantial role in fostering students’ moral and religious development, although it is not the sole determinant. These findings highlight the importance of systematic, well-supported curriculum implementation as a strategic approach to promoting holistic student development in higher education.

Abstract

The growing incorporation of digital devices into the daily lives of young children has heightened academic discourse around the significance of digital play in early childhood education. Although play-based learning is fundamental to preschool curricula, interactive educational technology is progressively being used to enhance early learning experiences. Nonetheless, empirical evidence on the simultaneous effects of digital play on cognitive and socioemotional development in preschoolers is scarce, particularly in curriculum-aligned classroom settings. This study investigated the effects of structured digital play with interactive educational tools on the development of preschool children. The study employed a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, involving 72 children aged 4 to 6 years from urban preschools, randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The results indicated that children in the experimental group showed markedly greater improvements in attention, executive functioning, early literacy and numeracy, and problem-solving skills than those in the control group (Cohen’s d = 0.54–0.68). Moreover, notable improvements were observed in emotional regulation, social interaction, cooperation, and empathy (Cohen’s d = 0.63–0.70). Classroom observations indicated elevated engagement, collaborative behavior, positive emotional expressions, and the essential role of teacher mediation during digital play. The findings indicate that purposefully designed and integrated digital play can serve as a comprehensive pedagogical strategy in early childhood education. The research provides significant insights into early childhood curriculum development, digital teaching methods, and educators' professional growth in technology-integrated learning environments.

Abstract

Translation specialization in Indonesian Master of Linguistics programs plays a key role in developing graduates’ theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and research competence. However, variations in curriculum structure, content, and epistemological orientation across universities remain underexplored, necessitating a systematic mapping and comparison study. This study aims to map and compare the curricula of translation specializations in Master of Linguistics programs in Indonesia, including their epistemological orientations. A qualitative approach is used, employing descriptive and comparative methods. The data consist of translation specialization curricula from seven universities, collected from official academic documents such as courses offered, syllabi, and program regulations. Data collection is conducted through a documentation study using purposive sampling. Data analysis involves curriculum mapping, curriculum comparison, and determining epistemological orientation. This study shows that curriculum mapping and comparative analysis of translation specializations within the Master of Linguistics Program in Indonesia reveal common core structures in translation theory, practice, and research methodology. Despite these shared foundations, programs display institutional variations in focus, learning opportunities, and curricular structure. The analysis highlights a dominant hybrid epistemological orientation, combining linguistic theory, Translation Studies, and professional practice. This integrated approach allows students to develop theoretical understanding, practical translation skills, and research competence simultaneously. It is reflecting each program’s academic identity while balancing scholarly rigor with applied and industry-relevant training. The study’s findings inform curriculum development, helping universities balance theory, practice, and research to enhance translation education and align it with academic and professional standards.
