Novelty/Originality of this study: These findings confirm that warm interpersonal relationships between lecturers and students are the main foundation that determines the effectiveness of all motivational strategies implemented.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Kahoot media on the learning outcomes of Grade V elementary school students in Pancasila Education at Kecamatan Guguak, Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota, West Sumatra. Methodology: A quasi-experimental method was employed using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The experimental group (n = 12) received PBL instruction integrated with Kahoot media across two learning sessions, while the control group (n = 15) underwent conventional instruction. Data were collected using a validated 15-item multiple-choice cognitive test and analyzed using the Liliefors normality test, Fisher homogeneity test, and independent samples t-test (α = 0.05). Main Findings: The experimental class achieved a posttest mean of 86.67 (gain = +28.89), significantly higher than the control class mean of 71.56 (gain = +17.34). The independent samples t-test yielded t-hitung = 3.524 > t-tabel = 2.060 (df = 25, p = 0.002 < 0.05), confirming that the PBL model assisted by Kahoot exerts a significant positive effect on student learning outcomes compared to conventional instruction. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a novel empirical contribution by integrating the PBL instructional model with the Kahoot gamification platform specifically within Pancasila Education at the elementary level in the Indonesian regional context of Lima Puluh Kota Regency. Unlike prior studies examining PBL or Kahoot independently, this research provides rigorous quasi-experimental evidence of their combined synergistic effect on student achievement.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study evaluates the effectiveness of a school-wide smartphone-ban policy in reducing cyberbullying among junior high school students and identifies the factors that support or hinder its implementation in two public junior high schools in the Bandung area, Indonesia. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive–evaluative design was used. Data were collected from junior high school students at SMP Negeri 35 Bandung and SMP Negeri Satu Atap Nagrog through a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire covering six effectiveness indicators, complemented by structured observation. The sample was drawn using the Slovin formula and analysed using descriptive statistics and an effectiveness-percentage classification. Main Findings: A majority of respondents reported that the ban was consistently enforced (69.14%) and that cyberbullying incidents had declined after its introduction (61.73%). The composite effectiveness score was 78.67%, which falls in the “effective” category. Restricting in-school smartphone access reduces the opportunity structure for cyberbullying, but the effect is conditioned by student compliance and the consistency of school supervision. Novelty/Originality of this study: While the international literature on school phone bans focuses largely on academic performance and general well-being, this study foregrounds cyberbullying as the primary outcome and provides school-level evidence from the under-represented Indonesian context, framed through an input–process–output–outcome systems lens.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the role of tahfidz extracurricular activities as a model for religious character education in Islamic elementary schools, focusing on the transformation from memorization to internalization. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at MI Nurul Rahman Bondowoso. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. Main Findings: The findings reveal that structured and repetitive tahfidz activities contribute significantly to the development of students’ discipline, spiritual habits, and religious character. The internalization of values occurs gradually through memorization, repetition, habituation, and teacher modeling. The triangulation results indicate that structured activities, spirituality by repetition, and values by teacher modeling shape discipline. However, the internalization process varies among students, indicating certain limitations in achieving optimal outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a conceptual contribution by positioning tahfidz extracurricular activities not merely as a memorization practice but as a systematic model for transforming memorization into internalized religious values. It highlights the “memorizing to internalizing” framework as a distinctive approach to religious character education in Islamic elementary schools.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to develop a culturally grounded learning model that integrates Sundanese local wisdom, ecological ethics, and entrepreneurship to strengthen the sustainable management of natural resources within the indigenous community of Kampung Sunda, Desa Laksana, Bandung Regency, West Java. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive–constructive design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, documentation, focus group discussions (FGD), and SWOT analysis with traditional leaders, community members, and local officials selected purposively. Data were analyzed thematically using the Miles and Huberman interactive model and organized through the Standard Model of Indigenous Learning framework. Main Findings: An effective learning model must be anchored in Sundanese cosmology tri tangtu di buana and silih asih, silih asah, silih asuh and enacted through contextual, participatory, active, reflective, and collaborative strategies. Agricultural, forest, water, and biodiversity resources governed through tumpangsari, leuweung titipan, and collective irrigation support ecological enterprises, while ecologized cultural learning, environment-based modules, holistic assessment, and multi-stakeholder collaboration enhance entrepreneurial knowledge and skills. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates cultural, ecological, and entrepreneurial dimensions within a single learning model rooted in a living indigenous tradition, operationalized through the Standard Model of Indigenous Learning. It offers a transferable design for ecopreneurship education in indigenous territories and contributes directly to the achievement of SDG 4, SDG 8, and SDG 15.
