Abstract

The environmental crisis has become an urgent global issue due to damage caused by human activities and failures in environmental management, such as improper waste handling that triggers flooding, as well as mining and industrial activities that drive ongoing climate crises. This phenomenon reflects humanity’s failure to fulfill its role as stewards (khalifah) of the earth. This study aims to analyze the concept of ecological piety from the perspective of Qur’anic exegesis and to explore its application in green Islamic character education. Employing a qualitative approach with a literature review method, this research examines classical and contemporary tafsir texts, books, and relevant scholarly articles. Data were collected through in-depth document analysis and thematically analyzed to identify key concepts and strategies for implementing environmentally conscious character education. The findings reveal that ecological piety in the Qur’an emphasizes moral and spiritual responsibility to preserve the environment as an act of worship and devotion to Allah SWT. Ecological piety needs to be integrated into Islamic education curricula to cultivate environmentally caring attitudes grounded in faith. The implications of this study encourage the development of green Islamic character education models to support the creation of environmentally aware Muslim generations who are responsible for the earth’s sustainability.

Abstract

The rapid flow of globalization has brought various influences to the life of a nation, including the quality of education in Indonesia. Therefore, Indonesia requires a generation that is not only intelligent but also possesses strong character, upholds religious values, and is capable of addressing various problems such as violence, bullying, misuse of technology, intolerance, and lack of politeness. This study aims to strengthen character education values through the exemplary life of Sunan Sendang Duwur in history learning. The research was conducted at the Sunan Sendang Duwur tomb complex. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design by describing and presenting the conditions as they actually occur. In addition, a historical approach was used, consisting of five stages: topic selection, source collection, verification, interpretation, and historiography. From these stages, the researcher was able to classify the findings, which indicate the presence of character education values embedded in the Islamization carried out by Sunan Sendang Duwur. Religious values, tolerance, social care, love of peace, and environmental awareness can be internalized by students as part of efforts to strengthen and habituate these values in daily life.

Abstract

The quality of early childhood education continues to face challenges in providing learning methods that optimally accommodate the diverse potentials of children. One potential alternative is to utilize local wisdom as a contextual approach to support the development of children's multiple intelligences. This study aims to analyze the potential of the Nyadran tradition as an educational medium in stimulating various intelligences in early childhood, based on Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research involved 42 early childhood students and 4 teachers from two early childhood education institutions. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles & Huberman’s interactive analysis model. The findings indicate that the Nyadran tradition facilitates activities that integrally develop visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, musical, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences. Activities within this tradition encourage children to actively engage, collaborate, express themselves, explore the environment, and reflect on themselves through various cultural practices. This study concludes that Nyadran has the potential to serve as an effective local wisdom-based pedagogical strategy to support the holistic development of early childhood learners. The implications encourage educators to integrate local cultural values into meaningful and relevant learning experiences for children.

Abstract

Cooperation trains children to interact positively, respect others, and understand that collective success is more important than individual achievement alone. Nowadays, the decline of students’ cooperative character has become a major challenge for teachers. This study aims to analyze the effect of the 5E Learning Cycle model assisted by the Snakes and Ladders game on students’ cooperative character in social studies learning for fourth-grade elementary school students. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The population consisted of 282 students, and through cluster random sampling, 32 students were assigned respectively to the experimental group and the control group. Data were collected using a four-point scale questionnaire and analyzed with a t-test. The results showed that the experimental group had an average post-test score of 89.80% (high category), while the control group had 69.06% (moderate category). The t-test produced tcount = 15.743 > ttable = 1.999, indicating that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. Thus, the 5E Learning Cycle model assisted by the Snakes and Ladders game had a significant effect on students’ cooperative character in social studies learning. The implication of this study is that it can serve as a reference for innovative learning strategies that encourage active student engagement while instilling social values relevant to the Pancasila Student Profile.

Abstract

The implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors has an impact on children's growth and development. Independence is one of the urgent needs in the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors, especially in disaster-prone areas such as the foot of Mount Merapi. This study aims to analyze the independence of early childhood in the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors at the foot of Mount Merapi. Data collection was conducted using observation, interviews, and documentation of five research subjects: children aged 3-5 years, parents, close family members, and teachers. The results of the study showed that children aged 3-5 years demonstrated positive independence in the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors, both at home and at school. Three out of five children were independent in washing their hands, both at home and at school. Additionally, three out of five children were also independent in using toilets at home. All five children demonstrated independence in disposing of waste, consuming healthy food and drinks, and balancing sleep/rest needs with activities at home. At school, all children have demonstrated independence in the indicators of using healthy toilets, disposing of waste, consuming healthy food and drinks, and balancing rest and activities. The implications of this research can serve as a foundation for teachers, parents, and policymakers to design curriculum and environment-based interventions, particularly in disaster-prone areas, to ensure that children's independence in Clean and Healthy Living Behavior continues to develop and supports their health and resilience in facing environmental risks.

Abstract

Learning in elementary schools requires approaches that can enhance students’ abilities, particularly scientific literacy, which includes understanding, interpreting, and applying scientific concepts in everyday life. However, conventional teaching practices still commonly used in classrooms lead to low levels of cooperative character and scientific literacy among students. This study aims to examine the effect of the Panca Pramana learning model on students’ cooperative character and scientific literacy. The type of research conducted is a quasi-experiment with a Posttest Only Control Group Design. The population of this study consisted of all fifth-grade students, totaling 62 students, with the research sample being class VA and VB. Data collection methods and instruments included questionnaires and essay tests. The data analysis methods applied were descriptive statistical analysis and inferential analysis. The results showed that the average score of cooperative character in the experimental group (83.26) was higher than that of the control group (71.16), and the average score of scientific literacy in the experimental group (82.32) was higher than that of the control group (67.10). Based on the results of data analysis, cooperative character and scientific literacy were found to be significant (0.000 < 0.05). Thus, learning through the Panca Pramana learning model has a positive effect on the cooperative character and scientific literacy of fifth-grade students. The implication of this study is that by applying the Panca Pramana learning model, students better understand the learning material provided and participate more actively in the learning process.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the challenges faced by the Alpha Generation in maintaining character values amid the rapid development of digital technology. Instilling character values has become crucial in shaping resilient, tolerant, and integrity-driven individuals in the 21st century. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital technology in instilling character values in early childhood, referring to the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (Proyek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila, P5). A qualitative approach using a case study method was employed in this research. The subjects included principals and teachers of Groups A and B from five early childhood education institutions that met the criteria of technological ownership, high accreditation, and involvement in character education. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, with data analysis following the Miles and Huberman model, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that digital technology, using videos, images, animations, audio, and educational games, can effectively shape children’s character values, particularly in the dimensions of religiosity, independence, creativity, cooperation, and global diversity. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of collaboration among teachers, principals, and parents, as well as the availability of technological infrastructure, in optimizing digital media as a fun and meaningful tool for instilling character in the Alpha Generation.

Abstract

Exclusiveness is a challenge for Indonesia as a pluralistic nation. Based on the data, cases of intolerance have even begun to target the world of education. In response to this challenge, religious universities in Indonesia have come together to implement a collaborative program called Nationhood Community Program Service, which is well-known as Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) Nusantara. However, there has been no description of the form and implications of the program in concrete terminologies. This research aims to examine in depth the essence and implications of KKN Nusantara in developing the moderate character based on the Concept of Religious Moderation. This research utilized a qualitative type, with a phenomenological approach. Through purposive sampling technique, the main data was obtained through interviews with student representatives, lecturers, and the community. The data was then corroborated with a literature study, validated using triangulation techniques, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman approach. The results showed that the essence of KKN Nusantara is presented as an embodiment of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and is expressed in the form of several work programs, including Independence Day Celebrations, the introduction to holy places, socialization of religious moderation, and preservation of local culture. As a conclusion, the implementation of KKN Nusantara produces positive implications in developing the moderate character of the community based on the Concept of Religious Moderation, both towards the attitude of national commitment, tolerance, non-violence, and accommodation for local culture.

Abstract

Biology learning materials, particularly on the reproductive system, often emphasize mechanistic and biological aspects while overlooking the importance of integrating adolescent sex education and gender equity values. This gap may perpetuate misconceptions and gender bias among students. This study aims to critically analyze the representation of gender equity and sexuality education in senior high school Biology textbooks through a critical discourse analysis framework. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional model consisting of text analysis, discourse practice analysis, and social practice analysis. The study involved three widely used Grade XI Biology textbooks, including one government-issued and two private publishers' editions as comparative data sources. The findings reveal a uniform pattern of placing reproductive system topics at the end of the textbooks, predominantly presenting anatomical and physiological content without integrating comprehensive, inclusive, and gender-equitable sexuality education. Moreover, the textbooks demonstrate gender bias, insufficient discussions on consent, sexual violence, and unequal access to contraceptive information. This study concludes that the textbooks reproduce patriarchal ideologies and exclusive scientific discourse, failing to address adolescents' psychosocial and ethical aspects of sexuality. The findings highlight the urgent need for textbook revisions that promote comprehensive, gender-equitable, and contextually relevant sex education for high school students.
