Abstract

General Background: Mathematics plays a fundamental role in developing logical and systematic thinking skills for elementary students, yet its abstract nature often leads to low engagement and achievement. Specific Background: At SDN 64/II Perumnas 1, third-grade students showed limited understanding of fractions due to lecture-dominated teaching and minimal use of concrete media. Knowledge Gap: While previous studies highlight the benefits of interactive approaches, structured applications of the demonstration method in teaching fractions within the Indonesian primary school context remain underexplored. Aims: This study aimed to improve both the learning process and outcomes in mathematics by applying the demonstration method with concrete, participatory experiences. Results: Conducted as Classroom Action Research in two cycles with 12 students, the findings revealed improvements in teacher performance (from 76.50% to 100%), student engagement (from 0% to 58.33% categorized as “Very Good”), and learning achievement (from 41.66% to 83.33% mastery). Novelty: The study demonstrates that structured use of demonstration—supported by tangible media and active student participation—can effectively transform abstract concepts into meaningful learning experiences within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Implications: These findings suggest that demonstration-based learning enhances conceptual understanding and student participation, providing a practical strategy for primary educators to strengthen mathematics instruction.Highlight : Demonstration method improved learning process and outcomes in fractions. Student engagement shifted from passive to active participation. Learning outcomes increased from 41.66% to 83.33%. Keywords : Demonstration Method, Learning Process, Learning Outcomes, Fractions, Primary Education

Abstract

General Background: Education in elementary schools forms the foundation of human resource development, yet mathematics often becomes a major challenge due to students’ limited understanding of abstract concepts. Specific Background: At SDN 027/II Sungai Arang, nearly half of the fourth-grade students failed to reach the minimum competency score in fractions, caused by monotonous, teacher-centered methods and low engagement. Knowledge Gap: While the Indonesian Kurikulum Merdeka promotes student-centered, project-based learning, its empirical implementation in rural schools with limited resources remains underexplored. Aims: This study aimed to improve mathematics learning outcomes in fractions through the application of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model. Results: Conducted as Classroom Action Research in two cycles, the study revealed improvements in teacher performance (from 77.27% to 100%), student engagement (increase in highly active students from 6 to 12), and learning outcomes (mastery rising from 64% to 84%). Novelty: Unlike previous studies in better-equipped contexts, this research demonstrates the effectiveness of PjBL in a resource-limited elementary school, highlighting its adaptability and contextual relevance. Implications: The findings suggest that PjBL not only enhances conceptual mastery of fractions but also fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and motivation, thus offering a viable pedagogical strategy for advancing Kurikulum Merdeka in diverse educational settings. Highlights: PjBL improves student engagement and critical thinking. Learning outcomes in fractions increased from 64% to 84%. Effective even in resource-limited elementary schools.

Abstract

General Background: The rapid growth of laundry services in urban Indonesia reflects increasing consumer demand for convenience, yet many micro-enterprises lack structured financial planning. Specific Background: Duta Laundry, a micro-scale service provider, sets prices based on market observation without applying analytical tools such as Break Even Point (BEP) analysis. Knowledge Gap: Prior studies on BEP in laundry businesses often overlook integration with daily service volume, month-to-month performance, and strategic pricing implications. Aims: This study analyzes the application of BEP to determine service price feasibility, evaluate sustainability, and provide strategic recommendations for micro-enterprises. Results: Findings indicate Duta Laundry’s BEP is reached at 107 transactions (749 kg) or Rp2,675,000 revenue per month, far below the realized 600 transactions (4,200 kg), indicating profitability. Comparative analysis shows May incurred a Rp710,000 loss due to high variable costs, while June achieved a Rp3,710,000 profit after cost efficiency improvements. Novelty: The study integrates BEP calculation with actual operational data, monthly performance comparison, and direct linkage to pricing and efficiency strategies. Implications: Implementing BEP in micro-service enterprises enhances data-driven decision-making, improves cost control, and supports sustainable competitiveness in volatile markets.Highlight : Determine the minimum service volume to avoid losses. Cost efficiency affects profits and business continuity. Data-based pricing increases competitiveness.

Abstract

General Background: Employee retention has emerged as a pressing concern for organizations amid increasing competition for skilled talent, particularly in knowledge-intensive sectors. Specific Background: While career development and compensation are widely recognized as key determinants of employee commitment, their indirect effects through psychological mechanisms remain underexplored in Indonesia’s industrial context. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have largely examined these factors in isolation, within limited geographic or sectoral contexts, and rarely integrated job satisfaction and organizational engagement as dual mediators. Aim: This study investigates the extent to which organizational career development and compensation influence employee retention, with job satisfaction and organizational engagement as intervening variables, in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry in Jakarta. Results: Using survey data from 221 millennial employees analyzed through PLS-SEM, the findings show that career development enhances job satisfaction, while compensation improves both job satisfaction and engagement. In turn, satisfaction fosters engagement and directly increases retention, although career development and compensation do not directly affect retention. Novelty: The research advances employee retention models by simultaneously integrating career development, compensation, satisfaction, and engagement in a multi-path mediation framework. Implications: Organizations should emphasize the tangible implementation of career pathways and transparent compensation systems to build satisfaction and engagement, thereby securing long-term retention.Highlight : Career development and compensation influence job satisfaction. Job satisfaction increases organizational engagement. Engagement and satisfaction together support employee retention Keywords : Organizational Career Development, Compensation, Job Satisfaction, Organizational Engagement, Employee Retention

Abstract

General Background: Faith education is fundamental in shaping the character and personality of Muslims, serving as a moral foundation and guide in daily life. Specific Background: The Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat, with its long-standing Sufi tradition, emphasizes dhikr (remembrance of Allah) as a core spiritual discipline to deepen faith. At Persulukan Thariqus Sa’adah in Aek Hitetoras Village, structured oral and silent dhikr, guided by mursyid, is central to religious practice. Knowledge Gap: While previous studies explore the moral contributions of Sufi orders, limited research examines how Naqsyabandiyah dhikr methods directly strengthen aqeedah (Islamic creed). Aims: This study investigates the methods, applications, and outcomes of Naqsyabandiyah dhikr in enhancing congregants’ faith. Results: Using a qualitative field approach, findings reveal that consistent dhikr, coupled with sharia adherence, muraqabah (spiritual vigilance), and moral guidance, cultivates tauhid, purifies the soul, and fosters spiritual stability. Congregants report increased closeness to Allah and stronger commitment to Islamic principles. Novelty: The study highlights the integration of Imam al-Ghazali’s Sufi principles with Naqsyabandiyah practices, showing their combined impact on faith formation. Implications: These findings suggest that structured dhikr, rooted in classical Sufi teachings, remains a relevant and effective model for contemporary Islamic faith education and spiritual character building. Highlights: Strengthening aqeedah through structured dhikr. Integration of sharia and spiritual discipline. Relevance of classical Sufi teachings today. Keywords: Faith Education, Naqsyabandiyah Tarekat, Dhikr Practice, Spiritual Development, Imam al-Ghazali
