Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing, branding, electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), and reputation on the decision to enroll in Islamic schools. Methods: The research employs multiple linear regression analysis to test the proposed hypotheses. Results: The findings indicate that digital marketing has a positive but statistically insignificant effect (β ≈ 0.092, p = 0.269) on enrollment decisions. In contrast, branding (β ≈ 0.263, p < 0.001), e-WOM (β ≈ 0.297, p = 0.012), and reputation (β ≈ 0.412, p < 0.001) exert significant positive influences, with reputation as the most dominant factor. The overall regression model is statistically significant (F = 120.1, p < 0.001), with an R² of 0.624, explaining 62.4% of the variability in enrollment decisions. Islamic schools should prioritize strengthening branding, leveraging e-WOM, and maintaining robust reputations to boost enrollment rates, while optimizing digital marketing through integration with other strategies for greater impact. Novelty: This study offers actionable insights for Islamic educational institutions to enhance their competitive edge in the sector, particularly by identifying key drivers beyond digital marketing—such as branding, e-WOM, and reputation that significantly shape enrollment decisions.

Abstract

Objective: The phenomenon of moral decline and increasing intolerance among students shows the existence of a spiritual crisis in modern educational practices that tend to be cognitive and instrumental. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the value of mahabbah (divine love) in education at SMK Al-Munawaroh Tasikmalaya as a strategy for the formation of social and spiritual character of students. Method: The research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a case study method, through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and analysis of school policy documents. Results: The results of the study show that the value of mahabbah is implemented integratively through religious habituation, social activities, and learning based on religious moderation. This approach not only fosters empathy, tolerance, and social responsibility, but also strengthens students' spiritual awareness. These findings strengthen Carl Rogers' humanistic educational theory and extend it with Jalaluddin Rumi's sufistic dimension which places love as a force of self-and social transformation. The implementation of mahabbah has proven to be in line with national policies such as Strengthening Character Education (Perpres No. 87 Tahun 2017) and Religious Moderation (KMA No. 183 Tahun 2019). Novelty: This study concludes that mahabbah-based education can be an integrative model of humanistic Islamic education that is relevant to the context of Indonesia's pluralistic society. The implications of the study confirm the need to develop similar models in other educational units through a longitudinal approach to measure the long-term impact on the formation of students' character.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of integrating computer-based learning media with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the development of critical thinking skills in early childhood education. Specifically, the study focuses on how this integration enhances children’s abilities to analyze, interpret, infer, and evaluate information, as well as its impact on motivation, creativity, independence, and learning engagement. Research Method: This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a Pretest–Posttest Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 30 children in Group B at TK Pertiwi No. 3 Pattiro Bajo, Bone Regency, who were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction using computer-based learning media integrated with the PBL model, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected through observation sheets measuring children’s critical thinking skills and were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent samples t-tests. Research Findings: The results indicate that the experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in critical thinking skills compared to the control group. The mean posttest score of the experimental group increased from 65.3 to 83.1, while the control group only increased from 64.9 to 71.5. The t-test results revealed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05), confirming that the integration of computer-based learning media with the PBL model effectively enhances early childhood learners’ critical thinking abilities, including analysis, reasoning, and conclusion-drawing skills. Novelty: This study demonstrates that the integration of computer-based learning media with the PBL model is an innovative and effective pedagogical strategy for early childhood education. The novelty lies in applying a synergistic digital–problem-based approach at the early childhood level, which not only improves critical thinking skills but also strengthens motivation, creativity, independence, and sustained engagement. The findings contribute new insights into how technology-supported PBL can be used to foster higher-order thinking skills from an early age.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of the Wokwi Simulator Platform as a STEM-based learning innovation in Internet of Things (IoT) courses in higher education. This study uses a qualitative approach with a single instrumental case study design involving 24 undergraduate students from one IoT practicum class at the Information Technology Education Study Program, University of West Sulawesi, in the period September–October 2025. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and learning documentation, and then analysed using the interactive analysis model Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results revealed three main interrelated themes. First, the efficiency and flexibility of using Wokwi allows students to conduct repeated experiments without hardware limitations, thus encouraging the formation of active experimentation. Second, the virtual debugging process directs students to focus more on programming logic and scientific reasoning, thus strengthening the reflective observation stage. Third, holistic STEM integration is reflected through the use of real-time data visualisation features that help students understand the interconnectedness of cross-disciplinary concepts in the abstract conceptualisation stage. In the context of previous research on virtual labs and STEM-based IoT learning, these findings expand existing studies by presenting qualitative empirical evidence on how simulated environments support experiential learning processes rather than simply improving learning outcomes. This study concludes that the Wokwi Simulator Platform functions as an effective pedagogical medium in supporting STEM-oriented IoT learning, especially in the context of higher education with limited laboratory resources. These findings provide implications for designing IoT curricula that emphasise data-driven analysis and interdisciplinary integration, and further research is needed to examine the transfer of learning from virtual simulations to physical hardware implementations.
