Abstract

This research examines the integration of Sundanese local wisdom as a culturally grounded framework for collaborative learning in the Indigenous Village of Ciptagelar, Sukabumi. Using a qualitative approach and a systematic literature review to explore core cultural values, including sabilulungan (cooperation), ecological reverence, and customary practices. The findings show that incorporating these values can improve student engagement, socio-emotional development, and ecological awareness. The implementation is constrained by limited teacher training, a lack of contextual learning resources, and insufficient policy support. The study proposes a hybrid collaborative learning model that systematically involves indigenous community members as co-educators and employs contextualized learning modules grounded in Ciptagelar epistemologies. This model offers a structured way to bridge formal education with local knowledge systems and provides practical implications for educators and policymakers seeking sustainable, identity-affirming education rooted in local wisdom.

Abstract

Deep learning is an essential approach in Early Childhood Education (ECE). However, its implementation in practice has not been fully optimal, as many educators see it as just a curriculum rather than a pedagogical approach. This study explores how prepared teachers are to apply the three core pillars of deep learning: mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research employs triangulation through observation, interviews, and document analysis at RA Azzahra Majalengka. The results show that these pillars are in use, but their application is only partial and not yet at an excellent standard. Teachers create opportunities for exploration, but reflection is limited; activities meant to be meaningful are not well integrated across subjects; and enjoyable learning tends to be overly structured. These findings highlight the need for equal, comprehensive deep learning training for all ECE teachers to enhance their ability to create meaningful, holistic learning experiences.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy within Social Sciences study programs at State Islamic Religious Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) in Indonesia. The research is motivated by the national importance of MBKM as a strategy to enhance the quality of higher education. At the same time, its application within PTKIN, particularly in the social sciences and religious studies, remains understudied and faces various practical challenges. This study aims to understand how MBKM is implemented, the factors that shape its execution, and its influence on teaching practices and graduate competencies. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis in selected PTKINs. The findings reveal significant variation in MBKM implementation, influenced by institutional readiness, resource availability, and the involvement of lecturers and students. Despite obstacles such as curriculum adjustment and resistance to change, the study identifies positive outcomes, including enhanced learning creativity, improved practical skills, and greater curriculum relevance to industry and community needs.

Abstract

Music education in elementary schools plays an essential role in nurturing students’ musical sensitivity and vocal expressiveness. However, initial observations of third-grade students at Pedagogia Elementary School showed that singing activities were conducted without accompaniment or expressive guidance, resulting in flat, monotonous performances. This study investigates the effect of a Musical Instrument Digital Interface/MIDI-assisted music-dynamics learning strategy on vocal expression and musical awareness. Using a descriptive quantitative approach with a one-group pretest–posttest design, the study involved 25 third-grade students who learned dynamic markings such as forte, piano, crescendo, and decrescendo supported by MIDI tracks. Data were collected through observation sheets, vocal performance rubrics, and field notes. The findings reveal significant improvements in articulation clarity, in the accuracy of applying dynamic symbols, and in the liveliness of facial expressions. Overall, the results demonstrate that integrating MIDI technology can effectively strengthen expressive singing skills and enrich musical learning experiences in elementary education for young learners.

Abstract

This study examines the challenges and ethical dilemmas faced by English Language Education students at Muhammadiyah University of Luwuk in using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for academic writing. It identifies patterns of AI usage in the writing process. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings show that although AI improves writing quality, increases time efficiency, and helps generate ideas, its use raises concerns. The main challenges include overreliance on AI, reduced critical thinking, potential plagiarism, difficulty creating effective prompts, overly general or irrelevant outputs, and unverifiable references. Interview results reveal linguistic and stylistic features of AI-generated texts. Students acknowledge the risks of misuse and propose solutions, including ethics training, university guidelines, mentoring, and access to reliable tools. This study recommends developing clear institutional policies, improving AI literacy, and implementing strict oversight to ensure AI is used ethically and effectively as a support tool rather than a substitute for students’ abilities.

Abstract

The GROW coaching model has gained attention in educational contexts, yet empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness remains varied. Differences in research designs, performance indicators, and implementation have produced fragmented findings, making it difficult to obtain a consistent understanding of the model’s impact. This study aims to analyze this gap through meta-analysis. A total of 22 empirical studies were analyzed using a random-effects model, supplemented with heterogeneity tests, forest plot analysis, effect size calculations, and publication bias identification. The meta-analysis yielded a pooled effect size of 0.43, indicating a moderate level of effectiveness with no evidence of publication bias. These findings demonstrate that the GROW model consistently contributes to the development of multiple domains of educator competence, including managerial skills, supervisory abilities, and teaching and learning practices. Overall, the results affirm that the GROW model reliably supports educator competency development, although its effectiveness remains shaped by contextual factors.

Abstract

The digitalization of Islamic philanthropy has increasingly shaped contemporary sadaqah practices, particularly through the rise of mobile app-based platforms. These innovations offer alternative charitable pathways that coexist with traditional street crowdfunding, creating diverse options for donors in the digital era. This study examines the preferences of Indonesian higher education students regarding traditional street crowdfunding and mobile application-based sadaqah platforms, and identifies key factors influencing their choices. Using a cross-sectional quantitative design, data were collected from 235 students across four higher education institutions in Indonesia using a structured questionnaire that assessed demographics, technology adoption, religious practice intensity, trust factors, and platform preferences. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the data. The results indicate that 61.7% of respondents prefer mobile application-based platforms, while 38.3% favor traditional street crowdfunding. Higher religious practice intensity and older age were significantly associated with a preference for traditional crowdfunding. Overall, the findings highlight a generational shift toward digital platforms, driven by convenience, transparency, and familiarity with technology. These insights suggest that organizations engaged in Islamic philanthropy should integrate digital innovations while maintaining traditional religious values to develop more inclusive, adaptive philanthropic strategies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by e-LKPD Liveworksheet on the critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects at the elementary school level. Strengthening critical thinking is essential in supporting 21st-century learning, which requires students to analyze information, evaluate ideas, and solve problems independently. This research employed a quasi-experimental Pretest–Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group Design with 58 students, divided into an experimental and a control group. Critical thinking skills were measured using a validated and reliable ten-item multiple-choice test. Data were analyzed for normality and homogeneity, and an independent t-test and N-Gain calculations were performed using SPSS version 22. The findings indicate that the PBL model supported by e-LKPD Liveworksheet significantly improved students’ critical thinking skills, evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05) and an average N-Gain score of 0.6179 in the medium-high category. These results demonstrate that integrating PBL with digital worksheets encourages active, contextual, and technology-enhanced learning. The study concludes that e-LKPD–assisted PBL is an effective and innovative strategy for enhancing elementary students’ critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the need to preserve local cultural values within modern educational settings, particularly the Bugis–Makassar values of siri’ (self-worth), pesse (empathy), sipakatau (humanizing one another), and sipakainge’ (mutual reminder). These values are considered essential for strengthening students’ character and fostering harmonious social interaction in schools. This research aims to analyze how Bugis–Makassar cultural values are integrated into the learning process at Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Darud Da'wah Wal-Irsyad (MAS-DDI) Baru-Baru Tanga Pangkep. A qualitative approach was employed with participants including the principal, Islamic Education teachers, Guidance and Counseling teachers, Islamic Cultural History teachers, and students from grades XI and XII. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, and validated using data triangulation. The findings reveal that cultural values are integrated into both formal and non-formal learning through contextual, collaborative, and reflective strategies. These practices contribute to character development, enhanced learning motivation, and the strengthening of students’ cultural identity.
