Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of discipline through the habit of healthy living in early childhood by examining the patterns, forms, and indicators that emerge in healthy routines, the impact of healthy living behaviors on children’s independence and sense of responsibility, and parental support. Methodology: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with observation sheets, interview guidelines, and documentation as instruments. The research subjects were nine children aged 3-4 years. Data were obtained through direct observation, recorded semi-structured interviews, field notes, and photographic documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was strengthened through source and technique triangulation. Main Findings: The results of the study show that discipline and healthy living behaviors are formed through routine habits, teacher role modeling, consistent school culture, and parental support. Children demonstrate disciplined behavior by willingly following rules, eating independently, and taking responsibility for cleaning up their eating utensils. Healthy living behaviors practiced by children include washing their hands with soap, using clean eating utensils, and brushing their teeth after meals. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers new insights into the process of internalizing discipline and healthy lifestyle behaviors in early childhood through school routines, teacher consistency, and parental support at home. These findings emphasize the importance of school culture synergy, teacher role modeling, and family support in forming the foundation for sustainable positive behaviors from an early age.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine how a Tri Hita Karana-based Morning Assembly program functions as a holistic character education practice in early childhood education. Methodology: A qualitative case study was conducted in an early childhood education institution in Bali, implementing a Tri Hita Karana-based Morning Assembly program. Participants were selected using purposive sampling and included teachers directly involved in Morning Assembly, along with the school principal as a supporting informant. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, document analysis, and reflective field notes. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis to identify patterns across implementation structure, teacher mediation, internalization processes, and ecosystem reinforcement. Main Findings: The findings reveal that Morning Assembly operates through a structured three-phase sequence—pre-activity, core activity, and closing reflection—systematically embedding spiritual, social, and ecological values into daily routines. Teachers play a central mediating role by embodying and interpreting Tri Hita Karana values in relational practice. Character internalization occurs through repeated exposure, emotional engagement, reflective facilitation, and consistent reinforcement within a culturally coherent ecosystem. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study proposes a Holistic Character Education Model grounded in Tri Hita Karana, demonstrating how local philosophical wisdom can be operationalized into a structured pedagogical system in early childhood education. Unlike character education approaches that emphasize discrete moral instruction, the model conceptualizes character formation as a cyclical, ecosystem-based process that integrates spirituality, social harmony, and ecological responsibility into daily lived experience.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to describe and analyze how Islamic values are integrated into the curriculum at public junior high schools in the Luwuk sub-district, and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in their implementation. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and school principals, direct classroom observations, and analysis of curriculum documents and syllabi. Data were analyzed descriptively through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Main Findings: The findings reveal that the integration of Islamic values is carried out implicitly through character strengthening, habituation programs, and contextual approaches across various subjects. Although not all schools apply this integration systematically, educators consistently strive to instill values such as honesty, responsibility, and tolerance. Key supporting factors include teachers' commitment and the reinforcement of school culture, while the main challenges involve limited training opportunities and the absence of standardized curriculum guidelines. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers new insights into the practice of integrating Islamic values into formal education at the junior high school level, focusing on local-level factors influencing its implementation. It also highlights the importance of empowering teachers and formulating clearer curricular policies to support the successful integration of these values.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to critically evaluate the concept of Smara Sādhanā as presented in the Lontar Kama Tattwa and to examine its relevance in strengthening premarital education in Denpasar. The research addresses the growing phenomenon of premarital sexual practices and the shifting moral values reflected in the discourse of “sing beling sing nganten,” which indicate a process of desacralization of marriage and sexuality. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative approach with a critical–interpretative design. Primary data are derived from classical Balinese Hindu texts categorized under Kama Tattwa. Secondary data are collected from scholarly literature and relevant studies. Main Findings: The findings reveal that Smara Sādhanā conceptualizes sexuality as a sacred and conscious practice that integrates physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions, grounded in dharma and realized within the institution of marriage. The study also finds that contemporary social phenomena, such as the normalization of premarital sex and gender bias, reflect a disconnection between traditional ethical teachings and modern practices. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a novel contribution by bridging classical Hindu philosophical texts with contemporary educational and social issues. It reconstructs premarital education through the lens of Smara Sādhanā, positioning sexuality as a form of spiritual discipline rather than merely a biological or social act. Furthermore, this research introduces a culturally rooted and philosophically grounded framework that addresses both moral challenges and gender issues in modern Balinese society, thereby enriching the discourse on sexuality education within religious and cultural contexts.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify the theological values ​​embedded in the study of Arabic calligraphy and to contribute to the formation of the religious character of Islamic boarding school students. Methodology: This study employed an interpretive research paradigm with a qualitative approach, conducted through interviews with 12 teachers (ustadz) and focus group discussions (FGD) with 6 students. The data obtained were analyzed using qualitative content analysis techniques. Furthermore, the researchers conducted observations and document analysis to strengthen the data presented. Main Findings: The findings of this study indicate that theological values ​​in Arabic calligraphy are integrated into three main aspects: spirituality, Islamic aesthetics, and morality. In the spiritual aspect, the values ​​of tauhidiyah (monotheism), ikhlas (sincerity), dhikrullah (remembrance of Allah), tadabbur (religious service), and tazkiyatul nafsi (observance of one's soul) are found. In the Islamic aesthetic, the values of jamal (community), creativity, patience, and perseverance are essential to the learning process. In the moral aspect, calligraphy instills amanah (trustworthiness), tawadhu' (religious tolerance), and ukhuwah (brotherhood). Learning Arabic calligraphy contributes to strengthening spirituality, forming personal morals, instilling etiquette, developing Islamic aesthetics, and strengthening students' socio-religious character. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study has contributed to the strengthening of arts-based Islamic education that integrates theological values, aesthetic practices, and holistic character formation in a sustainable manner. This research has implications suggesting that Arabic calligraphy can be used as an effective pedagogical instrument for shaping socio-religious character education for students in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the scientific literacy profile of high school students in physics using the PISA 2025 framework, focusing on identifying strengths and weaknesses in each competency dimension as a basis for developing ethnoscience-integrated learning. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative survey with a diagnostic approach using a science literacy test adapted from the PISA 2025 framework. The instrument consisted of 20 multiple-choice items. Data were collected online and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Benchmark Reference Assessment (PAP). Sampling used simple random sampling on grade XI students. Main Findings: The results show that students’ scientific literacy is in the moderate to low category with uneven competency distribution. Students performed better in explaining scientific phenomena but showed low achievement in designing investigations, evaluating evidence, and interpreting data. Scores ranged from 25 to 85, with an average of 55.07, indicating limited higher-order thinking skills. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides an updated empirical mapping of students’ scientific literacy using the PISA 2025 framework, which is still rarely applied. It offers a diagnostic basis for integrating ethnoscience in learning, emphasizing the development of higher-order thinking and contextual understanding aligned with students’ cultural environments.
