Abstract

Bullying in multiethnic classrooms remains a persistent challenge, particularly in educational settings where cultural diversity is not always supported by strong intercultural understanding. Previous studies have widely emphasized the importance of intercultural sensitivity for promoting inclusive learning environments; however, there is limited empirical research that examines how intercultural sensitivity is experienced and enacted in everyday classroom interactions as a mechanism for bullying prevention in higher education contexts. This study aims to explore how intercultural sensitivity contributes to bullying prevention within the culturally diverse classrooms of Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through in depth interviews with students and lecturers from multiple ethnic backgrounds. The findings reveal that intercultural sensitivity supports bullying prevention by reducing stereotyping, enhancing empathy, and encouraging more respectful and constructive peer interactions. The study concludes that strengthening intercultural sensitivity is a crucial cultural approach for fostering safer and more inclusive multiethnic classroom environments.

Abstract

Early childhood education in non-formal playgroups such as At-Taqwa in Pajar Bulan Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, faces challenges in introducing the alphabet due to boring print media even though audiovisual facilities are available, causing low interest in learning and suboptimal literacy development. This study aims to develop valid and practical 3D animated video learning media for introducing the alphabet for early childhood. Using research and development (RD) with the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation), a population of 41 children with one-to-one (3 children) and small group (10 children) trial samples. Instruments include a Likert Scale expert validation questionnaire, a Guttman Scale practicality questionnaire, interviews, and observations; data analysis using a percentage formula. The results show high validity (average 90.83%: material 90%, media 87.5%, language 95%) and practicality (100% in both trials). In conclusion, the media is effective in increasing interest in learning and mastery of the alphabet, ready to be implemented in PAUD.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of educational quality, school facilities, and brand image on students’ decisions to enroll at RK Bintang Timur Rantauprapat Private High School. Increasing competition among private secondary schools in the Labuhanbatu region compels institutions to identify and understand the determinants shaping students’ school selection decisions. A quantitative research design with a survey method was employed. The population comprised all Grade 10 students of RK Bintang Timur Rantauprapat Private High School, totaling 146 students. A saturated sampling technique was applied, whereby the entire population served as the research sample. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS, including validity and reliability testing, classical assumption testing, and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that educational quality, school facilities, and brand image each exert a positive and statistically significant partial effect on students’ school choice decisions. Simultaneously, the three independent variables demonstrate a significant collective influence on students’ enrollment decisions. The coefficient of determination indicates that a substantial proportion of variance in students’ decisions is explained by these variables, while the remaining variance is attributable to other factors beyond the research model. These results highlight the strategic importance of improving instructional quality, enhancing facilities, and strengthening institutional branding to attract prospective students.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia have long been recognized as indigenous educational institutions that play a strategic role in shaping individuals with strong moral and religious character. This study aims to analyze the mechanism of moral character formation among pesantren students through the integration of Information Processing Theory, the Cognitive-Behavior perspective, and Qur’anic values. The research employs a qualitative library research approach focusing on conceptual analysis and theoretical synthesis rather than field-based numerical data. Data sources consist of primary references such as the Qur’an and authoritative works in cognitive and educational psychology, supported by secondary sources including accredited journals and classical as well as contemporary Qur’anic commentaries. Data were collected through systematic documentation and analyzed using descriptive content analysis following the interactive model of Matthew B. Miles and A. Michael Huberman. The findings reveal that moral formation in pesantren is not an instant or mystical process, but a structured cognitive-spiritual mechanism involving attention, encoding, storage, and retrieval of moral information reinforced by repetition, modeling, and reflective practices. The Cognitive-Behavior framework underscores the significant role of the kyai as a living model shaping students’ belief systems and behavioral schemas, while Qur’anic concepts such as tadabbur, tazkiyatun nafs, and muraqabah function as metacognitive and spiritual control mechanisms. Theoretically, this study contributes by proposing an integrative conceptual model that bridges modern cognitive psychology and Islamic educational thought, demonstrating that moral character formation can be systematically explained through information-processing architecture enriched by cognitive-behavioral constructs and grounded in Qur’anic epistemology. This model extends the application of Information Processing Theory beyond academic learning into the domain of moral education, recontextualizes Cognitive-Behavior principles within a faith-based institutional setting, and offers a multidisciplinary framework for understanding character education as a structured cognitive-spiritual process. The study concludes that pesantren education represents an integrated cognitive-spiritual ecosystem that systematically cultivates sustainable moral character.

Abstract

Correct Qur’anic reading is a foundational religious obligation for Muslim children and a key element in character formation, particularly within diaspora contexts where access to structured religious education is limited. While studies on Qur’anic literacy are well established, empirical research examining the pedagogical contribution of university students to Qur’anic learning among Indonesian diaspora children in the Middle East remains scarce. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the role of KKNI students from the Faculty of Islamic Studies, Universitas Muhammadiyah North Sumatra, in enhancing the Qur’an reading skills of fourth-grade Indonesian diaspora students in Madinah. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reading performance assessments, and documentation. The findings indicate that structured mentoring, the application of the talaqqi method, and sustained motivational support contributed to measurable improvements in reading fluency, accuracy of makharijul huruf, and adherence to tajwid rules. These results highlight the strategic function of KKNI students not merely as instructional assistants but as facilitators of context-sensitive Qur’anic learning. The study concludes that university student engagement can play a significant role in strengthening Qur’anic literacy and religious character development among Indonesian diaspora learners.

Abstract

Music arts education plays a strategic role in developing the creativity of junior high school students, but is often hampered by monotonous approaches and limited facilities. This study aims to describe the strategies of music arts teachers in developing student creativity at the UPT SMP Negeri 3 Lintau Buo Utara. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study population consisted of music arts teachers and students in grades VII-VIII, with a purposive sample of one teacher and 6-8 students. Instruments included observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, analyzed through data reduction, narrative presentation, and triangulation. The results show that teachers implemented direct practice strategies (learning by doing), creative exploration, group work, and simple media such as recorders and pianicas, increasing active involvement and student confidence. It was concluded that these strategies were effective in creating conducive learning, although limited to generalizations in the local context.

Abstract

Deixis is an important pragmatic feature in song lyrics because it enables listeners to interpret meaning based on context, perspective, and interpersonal relations between the songwriter and the audience. In linguistic and pragmatic studies, deixis plays a crucial role in constructing narrative voice, emotional expression, and contextual interpretation. Although previous studies have analyzed deixis in various song lyrics, limited attention has been given to how different types of deixis contribute to the expression of internal conflict, identity struggle, and self-reflection in Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero”. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of deixis found in the song lyrics Anti Hero by Taylor Swift and to describe the contextual meaning of those deixis. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method using a pragmatic approach based on Levinson’s (1983) deixis framework. The data source was the official song lyrics obtained from the Genius website and analyzed through systematic identification, classification, and contextual interpretation using an analytical rubric. The findings reveal that the lyrics contain several types of deixis, namely person, temporal, spatial, discourse, and social deixis, each contributing to the construction of meaning within the song. The study concludes that deixis in “Anti-Hero” functions not merely as a grammatical referencing system but as a pragmatic resource that shapes contextual meaning, emotional expression, and self-reflective narrative, allowing listeners to engage with the songwriter’s personal perspective.

Abstract

Quality education requires a solid philosophical and theoretical foundation. Educational philosophy provides the normative direction and values of education, while learning theories offer empirical guidance for designing effective and learner-centered instruction. This study examines how both perspectives strengthen educational foundations through optimizing the educational role of libraries in the digital era. Using a descriptive qualitative literature review supported by findings from the Darul Ma’arif Al Insan Foundation, the study reveals that philosophy shapes educational orientation, whereas learning theories guide practical instructional strategies. Their integration reinforces libraries as active learning centers that promote information literacy, character development, independent learning, and lifelong learning. Libraries managed in alignment with philosophical principles and learning theories—through relevant collections, adaptive services, and supportive environments—can enhance their function as non-formal educational institutions. Thus, educational philosophy and learning theories are strategic components in building an adaptive and sustainable education system in the context of digital transformation.

Abstract

This study addresses the low mastery of science process skills (SPS) of high school students on electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions, which is exacerbated by the limitations of conventional E-LAPD in the Industry 4.0 era. It aims to identify the SPS profile of 25 grade XI students purposively sampled from a population of 75 people at Muhammadiyah 4 Sidayu High School, Gresik, through a mixed descriptive approach to the preliminary study design. The instrument includes six reliable SPS test essay questions (Cronbach's Alpha 0.80) measuring observation, classification, prediction, measurement, communication, and conclusion drawing, plus questionnaires and interviews, analyzed using SPSS 26 descriptive statistics, Azwar categorization, and qualitative content analysis. The results show that 60% of students have very low SPS and 40% have low without medium or high achievement, with the percentage of observation indicators (17.13%), classification (16.82%), prediction (16.21%), measurement (17.13%), communication (13.91%), and conclusion drawing (18.81%). In conclusion, conventional E-LAPD fails to facilitate inquiry, so it is necessary to develop guided inquiry-based learning for systematic KPS improvement.

Abstract

Pronunciation remains one of the most challenging skills for EFL students in Indonesia, particularly at the elementary school level where teachers often lack English expertise and class time is limited. This study examined the effectiveness of the ELSA Speak application as an AI-powered pronunciation learning tool in addressing these challenges. Using a true experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures, the study was conducted at UPT SD Negeri 79 Gresik involving nine sixth-grade students randomly assigned to experimental (n=5) and control (n=4) groups. The experimental group received three treatment sessions using ELSA Speak, while the control group followed conventional instruction. Results revealed a substantial and statistically significant improvement in pronunciation scores in the experimental group compared to the control group (p=0.016), with the experimental group demonstrating a dramatic gain from pre- to post-test (p0.001). These findings indicate that ELSA Speak's features — particularly its accurate pronunciation modeling and real-time automated feedback — effectively compensate for the constraints of conventional EFL instruction in elementary settings. This study contributes novel evidence for the application of mobile-assisted language learning at the elementary school level in Indonesia, a context previously underexplored in the literature. Practically, integrating ELSA Speak into classroom instruction is recommended as a feasible and impactful strategy to enhance pronunciation learning, provided that device access and internet connectivity are adequately supported.
