Abstract

Despite numerous welfare programs, poverty and inequality persist in Indonesia. Islamic philanthropic instruments such as Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah (ZIS) hold great potential to complement state efforts. However, their effectiveness is hindered by fragmented governance, low public trust, and the underutilization of professional social workers. This study aims to conceptualize an integrative model for optimizing ZIS by aligning Islamic values, public policy frameworks, and social work practices. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through a thematic literature review, this study analyzed academic publications, legal documents, and institutional reports. Findings propose a triadic synergy model comprising Islamic ethical principles, a supportive regulatory environment, and professional social work engagement to enhance inclusive and accountable ZIS governance. The model underscores the importance of distributive justice and sustainable empowerment for marginalized communities. This conceptual framework offers a foundation for developing Islamic social policy and invites empirical validation across diverse regions in Indonesia.

Abstract

The high rate of recidivism indicates that the rehabilitation programs available in correctional institutions have not been fully effective in assisting inmates with their rehabilitation and reducing the likelihood of reoffending after release. The Class IIA Women's Correctional Facility in Bandar Lampung is a specialized institution for female inmates, including those with a history of recidivism. This study aims to analyze the rehabilitation programs for female recidivist inmates at the Class IIA Women's Correctional Facility in Bandar Lampung and identify the challenges encountered in their implementation.  A qualitative approach with a descriptive framework is employed to evaluate the rehabilitation programs at the institution in addressing female inmate recidivism. Data collection methods include interviews with prison staff, former inmates, and experts in the field of corrections, complemented by a literature review and direct observations.  The findings reveal that while rehabilitation programs at the Class IIA Women's Correctional Facility in Bandar Lampung have an impact on inmates, they remain suboptimal. Vocational training programs are not sufficiently aligned with labor market demands, and psychological and social support services are limited, despite many inmates facing trauma and mental health issues. Societal stigma and a lack of family support further hinder reintegration efforts.  To reduce recidivism and enhance reintegration, it is crucial to provide relevant vocational training, improve psychological services, and implement strategies to foster societal acceptance. Collaboration between the government, correctional institutions, and community organizations is essential in supporting former inmates and minimizing the risk of reoffending.

Abstract

This study aims to examines the critical role of social media in public outreach within the fields of education, economy, and health, emphasizing its integration with religious values. Using a systematic literature review approach, this study analyzes academic sources, reports, and case studies to explore how platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube facilitate the dissemination of faith-based content, particularly in Islamic contexts. The findings indicate that social media enhances religious education, supports Islamic economic practices (e.g., zakat distribution and halal investments), and promotes health awareness campaigns aligned with Islamic values of hygiene and wellness. However, challenges such as the digital divide in underprivileged communities, misinformation about health practices, and privacy concerns in faith-based financial transactions hinder the full potential of social media outreach. To address these issues, greater collaboration between religious institutions, government agencies, and social media platforms is necessary, particularly through digital literacy programs, content regulations, and joint awareness campaigns. Strengthening these efforts can ensure that social media serves as a powerful tool for community education, empowerment, and the promotion of religious values in modern society.

Abstract

The ability to represent mathematical ideas is a fundamental component of mathematical understanding and communication. However, many students still struggle to express mathematical concepts in varied forms such as visual, symbolic, or verbal representations. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Meaningful Instructional Design (MID) learning model in improving students’ mathematical representation skills, while also considering the role of students’ cognitive styles. A quasi-experimental research design was implemented involving two groups: an experimental group taught using the MID model and a control group taught using conventional expository methods. The participants were selected using a cluster random sampling technique from a population of junior high school students. Data were collected through a validated mathematical representation test and a cognitive style questionnaire. The collected data were then analyzed using two-way ANOVA with a 5 percent level of significance, following prerequisite tests for normality and homogeneity using SPSS version 25 and Microsoft Excel. The results showed that students who learned through the MID model exhibited significantly higher mathematical representation skills than those taught using the expository model. Furthermore, students’ cognitive styles also had a significant main effect on their representation abilities. Despite these main effects, the interaction between the learning model and cognitive style was not statistically significant. These findings indicate that the MID model is a robust instructional approach that can enhance students’ mathematical representation skills across different cognitive style profiles. The study highlights the importance of adopting meaningful learning frameworks that prioritize concept-building and student engagement, regardless of learners’ individual differences.

Abstract

The formation of character and ethics is crucial from childhood, as children easily absorb behaviors and values from their surroundings. Ethics is an integral part of human attitudes and interactions, which do not develop naturally but are shaped through guidance, education, and social influence from parents, teachers, and the community. Instilling ethical awareness at an early age is essential to fostering responsible and respectful individuals. This study aims to cultivate ethical awareness among children in Sidomulyo Village through a counseling-based approach conducted at SDN 07 Mesuji as part of a KKN (Real Work Lecture) program. The counseling method involves interactive discussions and role-playing activities designed to reinforce moral values and social etiquette.The findings indicate that this counseling approach leads to a noticeable improvement in the ethical behavior of the children in Sidomulyo Village. The program's effectiveness is evident in the children's increased understanding and application of moral values in daily interactions. These results suggest that structured ethical counseling can be a valuable tool in character education when supported by teachers, parents, and the school community.
