Abstract

Strengthening students’ character has become a major priority in modern education, requiring relevant and applicable value internalization models. This study is motivated by the limitations of previous research that tends to address character education in a general manner and the lack of studies integrating Imam Zarkasyi’s educational values within public senior high school contexts. This research aims to describe the forms of value internalization, analyze the implementation of spiritual programs, and evaluate the effectiveness of strategies applied at SMAN 1 Makarti Jaya. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Research informants include the principal, spiritual program supervisors, Islamic education teachers, and students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques based on the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that the internalization of Imam Zarkasyi’s values is realized through structured religious habituation, teachers’ exemplary behavior as role models, and the strengthening of a school culture grounded in discipline and responsibility. These strategies have proven effective in enhancing students’ religiosity, integrity, and discipline, while also reinforcing a value-based and character-oriented school ecosystem.

Abstract

This study examines novice English course teachers’ views on the use of anonymous peer feedback as a means of enhancing grammar awareness. The participants consisted of 14 newly appointed English teachers at a language course institution in Sidoarjo who took part in a grammar-awareness workshop within a Teacher Induction Program. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the study gathered data through classroom observation and a post-workshop questionnaire. The results reveal that anonymous peer feedback fostered more active engagement, lowered participants’ anxiety, and supported reflective awareness of grammatical accuracy. In addition, the workshop enabled teachers to recognize recurring grammatical errors and encouraged self-regulated learning during professional development. These findings suggest that anonymous peer feedback can serve as an effective and supportive strategy for strengthening grammar awareness in English teacher induction and training contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent of EFL students’ understanding of the suffix -en in English word formation at Tadulako University. This research employs a descriptive quantitative design, with data collected through a multiple-choice test and a questionnaire focusing on recognition, word formation, and meaning of the suffix -en. The data are analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that students experience low difficulty in recognizing the suffix -en, moderate difficulty in understanding its meaning, and high difficulty in word formation using the suffix -en. These results suggest that students’ difficulties lie mainly in productive and semantic aspects rather than in formal recognition, indicating the need for explicit instruction focusing on word formation practice and contextualized meaning analysis.

Abstract

Globalization has brought significant and multidimensional changes to the social life of the people of Simpang Baru Village, Binawidya District, Pekanbaru City, influencing patterns of behavior, interaction, and values through the rapid flow of information, technology, and global culture. This study aims to describe and analyze the impact of globalization on technology use, economic activities, cultural practices, and social interaction within the local community by employing a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving community members and local stakeholders to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The findings indicate that globalization has generated positive impacts, particularly in the technological aspect, where easier access to information and communication technologies has improved efficiency in daily activities and expanded community knowledge. Economically, globalization has opened new opportunities through digital platforms, small businesses, and access to broader markets, contributing to improved livelihoods and economic growth. In terms of lifestyle, the community has increasingly adopted modern ways of living characterized by practicality and global connectivity. However, the study also reveals several challenges arising from globalization, including weakened face-to-face social interaction as digital communication becomes more dominant, a gradual decline in local cultural values and traditions, especially among younger generations, and increased dependence on technology that reduces social sensitivity and communal solidarity. In conclusion, globalization presents both opportunities and challenges for the social life of the Simpang Baru community; therefore, it needs to be managed wisely so that its benefits can be maximized without neglecting local cultural identity and the preservation of social cohesion.

Abstract

This study investigates the speech acts in Hayle Bieber’s motherhood journey interview with WSJ.Style using Searle’s framework (1979), containing an illocutionary point, direction of fit, and psychological state. Employing qualitative content analysis, 34 units of utterances were identified. The discoverers emphasize that assertive (58,82%) dominates the result, followed by expressive (38,24%) in the second position. This determines that Hailey Bieber interviewed to share her experiences and express emotions as a new mom. In a case of direction of fit, most utterances are identified as word-to-world, portraying her tendency to describe events that correspond to reality. Hence, null fit emerges in expressive utterances to cover her personal emotions. Otherwise, psychological state represents belief and emotions, which are proven based on her statements on personal conviction and affective responses. Certainly, the findings expose that Hailey Bieber builds an identity as a reflective and emotionally attached mother. Furthermore, this study verifies how speech acts determine personal branding in celebrities’ media interviews and contributes to a deeper understanding of language use attached to emotions.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the main strategies in increasing the competitiveness and sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the tourism sector in Medan City through digitalization and technological innovation in the framework of an inclusive economy. The focus of the research includes the use of digital technology in marketing, optimization of online reservation systems, the use of e-commerce platforms, and the application of service automation to increase operational efficiency and MSME revenue. Digitalization is seen as a strategic solution to overcome MSMEs' dependence on conventional methods in marketing, production, and business management which has been the main obstacle in facing competition with large companies and imported products. Based on data from the Medan City Cooperative Office, there are around 18,000 active MSMEs, but the level of digital adoption still varies. This study uses a quantitative method with purposive sampling techniques on 100 MSMEs from the souvenir, culinary, and handicraft subsectors that have interacted with local digitalization programs. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with a Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) approach because the research variables were latent and construct-based. This approach allows testing of structural relationships as well as direct and indirect influences between variables. The novelty of this research lies in the development of the Conceptual Model of Inclusive Digitalization for SME Competitiveness (CDISC), which integrates digital inclusivity indicators—including digital access, digital literacy, and technological readiness—with MSME competitiveness indicators. The results of the research are expected to make a theoretical and practical contribution to the development of MSME digitalization policies that are sustainable, inclusive, and oriented towards increasing turnover, expanding market reach, and operational efficiency of MSMEs in Medan City

Abstract

This study examined how students’ religious beliefs relate to their motivation to learn English in four Islamic secondary schools in Central Java, Indonesia. Using a mixed-methods design, questionnaires were administered to 287 students, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven purposively selected participants. Correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between religious beliefs and English learning motivation (r = .308, p .001), and regression analysis indicated that religious beliefs explained 9.5% of the variance in motivation (R² = .095). Qualitative findings revealed that students positioned English within Islamic concepts of lifelong knowledge-seeking (thalab al-‘ilm) and global Islamic communication (da’wah), viewing English as compatible with, and supportive of, their religious identity rather than as a threat. These results suggest that, in Islamic school contexts, religious beliefs can function as a motivational resource for learning English when appropriately acknowledged in pedagogy.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of Good Corporate Governance (GCG), sales growth, capital structure, liquidity, and firm size on firm value in industrial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2023 period. A quantitative approach was employed using secondary data obtained from published financial statements. The sample consisted of 20 industrial companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 100 panel data observations. Panel data regression analysis was conducted using EViews 12. The findings indicate that capital structure has a positive and significant effect on firm value, while GCG, sales growth, liquidity, and firm size do not show a significant influence. Simultaneously, all independent variables jointly affect firm value. These results suggest that an optimal capital structure plays a crucial role in enhancing firm value by strengthening investor confidence and improving market perceptions. Therefore, managers in industrial sector companies are encouraged to carefully manage their capital structure to maintain financial stability and increase investment attractiveness in the capital market.
