Abstract

Character education plays an important role in shaping children's personalities so that they are not only academically better, but also have a disciplined and empathetic attitude. The home environment, namely parents, is the main foundation in the process of internalizing moral values through role modeling, habituation, and daily interactions. However, the implementation of character education at home still faces various obstacles, such as a lack of role models, a lack of understanding of parenting, and the influence of digital challenges. This study aims to examine and formulate contextual character education strategies at home to foster discipline and empathy in children. This study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by searching for scientific articles, books, and research reports through Google Scholar, SINTA, DOAJ, and university portals from 2015 to 2025. Data analysis used thematic analysis techniques with stages of literature identification, selection, quality evaluation, and theme classification. The results of the study show that effective contextual strategies include habituation, the 5S culture (Smile, Greet, Say Hello, Be Polite, Be Courteous), parental role modeling, responsive parenting, strengthening religious values, shared literacy, and moral communication. These strategies can strengthen children's discipline and foster empathy through the formation of prosocial behavior, understanding of other people's feelings, and consistency in carrying out positive activities within the family environment. Thus, family-based character education needs to be designed in a contextual, consistent, and sustainable manner in order to optimally shape disciplined and empathetic character

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the gaps in elementary school students’ mathematical literacy when solving contextual problems. Mathematical literacy is understood as students’ ability to formulate, apply, and interpret mathematics in various real-life contexts. However, learning practices in elementary schools are often still dominated by procedural and textbook-oriented approaches, resulting in a gap between expected competencies and students’ actual abilities. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design. Data were collected through contextual mathematical literacy tests, analysis of students’ written work, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews with students and teachers. The results indicate that the most prominent gaps occur in (1) understanding contextual situations, (2) translating contexts into mathematical representations, (3) selecting appropriate problem-solving strategies, and (4) interpreting mathematical solutions back into real-life contexts. These gaps are influenced by limited exposure to contextual problems, teachers’ focus on procedural mastery, and students’ low confidence in reasoning and argumentation. The findings suggest that systematic efforts are needed to integrate contextual and meaningful learning into elementary mathematics instruction to strengthen students’ mathematical literacy.

Abstract

Islamic character education within the family plays a strategic role in shaping children’s moral and spiritual development amid the challenges of modern life, particularly rapid digitalization and changing parenting patterns. Parents, as the first and primary educators, bear significant responsibility in instilling Islamic values through role modeling, habituation, and daily interactions. This study aims to systematically examine the role of parents in instilling Islamic character in children, the strategies employed, and the challenges encountered in contemporary contexts.This study employs a literature review method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data sources consist of nationally accredited SINTA journals, reputable international journals, scholarly books, and relevant academic documents published between 2015 and 2024. Data were collected through a systematic literature search across several academic databases and analyzed using content analysis techniques, including data reduction, data presentation, and thematic conclusion drawing.The findings indicate that the parental role in instilling Islamic character in children encompasses five main dimensions: role modeling (uswah hasanah), habituation of worship practices, value-based communication, digital supervision and parenting, and emotional–spiritual support within the family. Parental role modeling and worship habituation emerged as the most influential factors in shaping children’s character. Furthermore, digital challenges require parents to adopt adaptive and dialogical Islamic parenting strategies. This study concludes that Islamic character education within the family requires a holistic approach that integrates behavioral, habitual, emotional, and spiritual dimensions simultaneously. The findings are expected to contribute theoretically to Islamic education studies and practically to guide parents in fostering Islamic character in children in the modern era.

Abstract

This study aimed to empirically examine the impact of online game usage on the social development of fourth-grade students at SD IT Al-Husnayain, Mandailing Natal, using Erikson’s psychosocial development theory as an analytical framework. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents, and supporting documentation. The research subjects included fourth-grade students, classroom teachers, and parents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed through thematic stages consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicated that the majority of students engage in online gaming with high intensity, spending more than two hours per day on gaming activities. This condition has contributed to shifts in children’s social behavior, as reflected in increased verbal conflicts, the use of aggressive language, emotional outbursts, and a decline in the quality of social interactions within both school and family environments. From Erikson’s perspective, uncontrolled online game usage may hinder the successful resolution of the psychosocial crisis of industry versus inferiority, as children tend to derive their sense of achievement and competence more from virtual experiences than from real-life social interactions. However, the study also revealed that when online games are used in a structured, limited manner and under the supervision of teachers and parents, they can serve as a positive learning medium that enhances students’ motivation and engagement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how thematic hadith learning can instill religious moderation as the basis for shaping students' faith and character. Religious moderation is understood as a balanced, non-extreme religious attitude that is able to respect differences. In Islamic education, moderation not only serves to build harmonious social attitudes, but also strengthens true faith and noble character. This study uses the library research method by collecting and analyzing literature related to hadith, Islamic education, and religious moderation. The results of the study show that the values of moderation, such as tawassuṭ (middle way), tasāmuḥ (tolerance), tawāzun (balance), and i‘tidāl (justice), can be effectively applied through thematic hadith learning. This model not only adds to theoretical understanding but also encourages students to practice Islamic teachings in a balanced manner that is relevant to their daily lives. Thus, thematic hadith learning plays an important role in shaping students who have strong faith, moderate character, and are able to live harmoniously amid diversity. This study suggests further empirical research to observe the application of this model in schools or madrasas directly

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an ethnomathematics-based mathematics worksheet (LKPD) to enhance students’ numeracy literacy skills. The research applied a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, consisting of the stages of define, design, develop, and disseminate. The findings from the define stage revealed that students’ numeracy abilities were still relatively low, while the teaching materials used in schools had not incorporated local cultural elements into mathematics learning. During the design stage, the worksheet was created by integrating mathematical concepts with local cultural contexts to provide more meaningful and engaging learning experiences. In the develop stage, the LKPD was evaluated by subject experts, media experts, and educational practitioners. The validation results indicated that the product achieved a highly valid category in terms of content, language, presentation, and visual design. Classroom trials demonstrated that the ethnomathematics-based LKPD improved students’ abilities to interpret numerical information, solve contextual mathematical problems, and relate mathematics to everyday situations. In addition, students showed greater participation, enthusiasm, and motivation during learning activities. Therefore, the developed LKPD can serve as an innovative learning resource to support the improvement of students’ numeracy literacy.
