This research is motivated by the lack of local history content of the Cirebon Sultanate in history textbooks used at the high school level. This research aims to: (1) identify Cirebon local history teaching materials that can be integrated into high school history learning in Cirebon City; (2) formulate an initial design for Cirebon local history teaching materials; (3) develop Cirebon local history teaching materials; and (4) implement these teaching materials to increase students' historical awareness and local wisdom. This research uses the 10-step research and development method of the Borg and Gall model. The effectiveness test was conducted through a quasi-experimental method by comparing the experimental class and the control class. The results of the study indicate that the integration of local history material of the Cirebon Sultanate in high school history learning is important. The developed teaching materials have been shown to have a positive effect on increasing students' historical awareness and local wisdom in the experimental class compared to the control class. This study concludes that the Cirebon Sultanate local history teaching materials are effective for use as Cirebon local history teaching materials in high school.

This study examines the implementation of a Lesson Study based collaborative mathematics learning model and its contribution to student learning outcomes, learning activities, and lecturers’ pedagogical development in higher education. The study employed a mixed methods approach with an embedded design, integrating quantitative data from pretest, posttest, and learning activity observations with qualitative data from classroom observations, lecturer reflections, peer lecturer feedback, and learning documentation. The research was conducted in the Islamic Economics Study Program at STIES Nahdlatul Ulama Bengkulu, involving 28 students enrolled in the Economic Mathematics course, one course lecturer, and peer lecturers participating in the Lesson Study team. The intervention was implemented through three Lesson Study cycles consisting of planning, implementation, and reflection. The quantitative findings show that students’ overall mathematics learning outcomes increased from a pretest mean score of 58.00 to a posttest mean score of 77.50, with improvements observed across conceptual understanding, formula application, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, and contextual connection with Islamic economics. The highest gain was found in students’ ability to connect mathematical concepts with Islamic economics contexts. Qualitative findings further revealed that Lesson Study supported more reflective, adaptive, and student centered teaching practices through collaborative planning, classroom observation, and post lesson reflection. These findings suggest that integrating Lesson Study with collaborative mathematics learning can provide a meaningful instructional model for non mathematics students in Islamic higher education, especially when mathematical concepts are connected to relevant disciplinary contexts.

This study aims to analyze the management of the Merdeka Curriculum in strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile at H Moenadi State Vocational School. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research involved key stakeholders, including the principal, vice principal for curriculum, teachers, students, and parents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has been carried out relatively well across the stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation. Teachers generally understand the curriculum as a flexible and student-centered framework and have integrated project-based learning through the Project for Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) to foster students’ character and 21st-century skills. The results also reveal positive impacts on students’ cooperation, independence, creativity, critical reasoning, and self-confidence. However, challenges remain in the form of variations in teacher readiness, administrative workload, limited instructional time, and inconsistent reflective documentation. The study concludes that effective curriculum management, supported by continuous professional development, structured collaboration, and systematic evaluation, is essential to ensure the sustainability and quality of Merdeka Curriculum implementation in vocational education.

This study examines the effects of leadership behavior, quality of work life, and work motivation on lecturer performance at IAIN Takengon. Using a quantitative ex post facto research design, data were collected from 97 lecturers through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and path analysis. The results indicate that leadership behavior and quality of work life have significant direct effects on both work motivation and lecturer performance. Work motivation emerges as the strongest predictor of lecturer performance and also functions as a significant mediating variable in the relationships between leadership behavior and performance, as well as between quality of work life and performance. The simultaneous analysis shows that leadership behavior, quality of work life, and work motivation jointly explain a substantial proportion of the variance in lecturer performance. These findings highlight the importance of effective leadership practices, supportive working conditions, and sustained motivation in enhancing lecturer performance in higher education institutions. The study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of an integrated model that explains lecturer performance through the interaction of organizational and psychological factors within the context of Islamic higher education

This study examines a community-based digital education synergy model that integrates parents, teachers, and community support to strengthen children’s character and language skills in Gunungsitoli City. Focusing on listening, speaking, reading, and writing, the research employed a mixed-methods design with a dominant qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and a short micro-intervention involving technology-assisted language tasks. Participants included teachers, parents, students, and community informants from two elementary schools in rural settings with limited internet access, device availability, and varying levels of digital literacy. The findings show that children’s language development in the digital era is influenced not merely by technology use, but by the quality, consistency, and direction of adult guidance. Descriptive results indicate strong performance in gadget supervision (mean 3.58), literacy support (mean 3.57), and content mentoring and communication (mean 3.44), while parent-school collaboration showed the lowest score (mean 3.26), indicating the need for stronger two-way communication. The study formulates the 3P Cycle model Planning, Mentoring, and Assessment supported by four pillars: home-school communication, content curation and gadget governance, meaningful language practice, and community support. Girls tended to show stronger verbal expression and interpersonal communication, suggesting the importance of gender-sensitive mentoring strategies. The study concludes that technology becomes educationally effective when used wisely, consistently, and collaboratively. Strengthening home-school-community partnerships can foster children’s language competence, prosocial behavior, digital ethics, and safer learning ecosystems in the digital era. Practical recommendations include digital parenting training, reflective feedback journals, and community literacy spaces for sustained support.

The implementation of multicultural education in Indonesia often encounters epistemological challenges, namely the dominance of Western educational theories that tend to be secular and only focus on socio-cognitive engineering, while ignoring the spiritual dimension that is the core of Islamic Religious Education. This condition triggers disparities in students who may understand tolerance intellectually, but are emotionally and spiritually fragile. This article seeks to reconstruct the position of Islamic Religious Education as the main discursive authority in character education, by making local wisdom in the Book of Jawahirul Adab as a pedagogical case study to fill this spiritual void. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis methods and contextual hermeneutics, this study dialogues the dimensions of James A. Banks' multicultural education with the concept of tazkiyatun nafs (purification of the soul). The results of the comparative analysis show that Islamic ethics provides axiological reinforcement to Banks' theory through the "Tazkiyah-Based Multiculturalism" model that prioritizes inner management. An analysis of the Jawahirul Adab (The Book of Adab) finds that the elimination of the trait of ujub (inheritance) serves as an internal mechanism for Prejudice Reduction, while the prohibition against ngutek-ngutek drengki (introverted behavior) is a psycho-spiritual prerequisite for the success of Equity Pedagogy. This study also reveals that the rhythmic structure of nadhom in the book serves as a more effective pedagogical instrument for internalizing values than instructional prose texts. This integration of traditional values offers a fundamental solution to the problem of "spiritual emptiness" in modern multicultural education.
