Abstract

Marriage is often considered an important phase in the lives of Indonesian women, reflecting the success and completeness of a woman's identity as a wife and mother. However, an increasing number of middle-aged women (aged 40–60) are unmarried in an ever-evolving social context. This phenomenon elicits diverse responses from society, ranging from negative stigma to social pressure, which ultimately affects the comfort and psychological well-being of women who experience it. This study aims to explore middle-aged women's perceptions of marriage, identify factors hindering marriage, and understand their conditions and expectations as unmarried women. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with four main informants and four supporting informants in Medan. Data were analyzed through thematic reduction and categorization. The study results show that middle-aged women perceive marriage as a form of worship and a long-term commitment. Although they had a desire to marry in the past, they experienced various obstacles, including emotional trauma, the absence of a serious partner, and social and cultural pressure. Nevertheless, they demonstrated economic and emotional independence and were able to build a positive meaning of life outside the institution of marriage. Family support proved to be an important factor in maintaining psychological stability. This study concludes that the single status of middle-aged women results from a complex life process, not merely a form of failure. Therefore, society needs to stop stigmatizing and build a more inclusive understanding of women's life choices.

Abstract

Bullying remains a prevalent issue in many school environments, including vocational institutions, with harmful effects on students’ psychological well-being and social development. While previous studies have explored general bullying prevention strategies, limited attention has been given to how integrity-based character education, led explicitly by Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) teachers, contributes to this effort. Addressing this gap, the present study aimed to describe the role of PPKn teachers in strengthening integrity character education to prevent bullying at SMK Karya Bhakti, Batubara Regency. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The participants consisted of PPKn teachers, homeroom teachers, and selected students who were purposefully chosen based on their involvement in character-building efforts. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, including data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that PPKn teachers played a strategic role in shaping students’ integrity, particularly through learning emphasizing honesty, responsibility, and exemplary conduct. Teachers also contributed by fostering an inclusive classroom climate and employing persuasive, educational approaches in addressing bullying behavior. Their involvement extended beyond formal instruction to daily interactions that modeled ethical behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of Islamic counseling with dhikr in reducing public speaking anxiety among eighth-grade students of IT An-Nafis Private Junior High School. The problem of public speaking anxiety experienced by students has the potential to disrupt their learning process and speaking skills development, necessitating appropriate intervention. This research employs a quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. The sample consists of eight students with high anxiety levels selected purposively from a population of 47 eighth-grade students. The intervention was conducted through four sessions of Islamic counseling that integrated dhikr. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test with SPSS version 30 showed significantly decreased anxiety levels (p = 0.012). Before the intervention, all students (100%) experienced high anxiety, while after the intervention, 75% were in the low anxiety category and 25% in the moderate category. These findings indicate that Islamic counseling with dhikr is effective as a spiritual-psychological approach to reducing anxiety in public speaking among eighth-grade students.

Abstract

Learning the Indonesian language in elementary schools often encounters challenges, particularly in fostering active student participation and ensuring comprehension of texts, especially fables. To address this issue, Student Worksheets (LKPD) are designed to enable learners to construct their knowledge through meaningful learning activities independently. This study aims to examine the impact of LKPD implementation on students’ learning outcomes in Indonesian language lessons, focusing on fable texts. A quantitative approach was employed using a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design, involving 25 fourth-grade students from MIS Al-Hidayah Sidodadi as participants. A multiple-choice test served as the primary instrument to measure achievement. The data analysis revealed a significant improvement in learning outcomes after the introduction of LKPD, as evidenced by the paired-sample t-test result showing a significance value (2-tailed) of less than 0.001, which is below the 0.05 threshold. Consequently, the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted. These results align with Bruner’s constructivist theory, which emphasizes the importance of active student engagement in building knowledge through exploration and structured activities. Therefore, the use of LKPD has been proven effective in enhancing students’ learning outcomes in Indonesian language instruction.

Abstract

This study addresses the problem of low critical thinking skills among elementary school students, particularly in science learning about the circulatory system. The research aimed to examine the effectiveness of the role-playing learning model in improving fifth-grade students’ critical thinking abilities. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was applied, involving 50 students divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests, analyzed through normality, homogeneity, and independent t-tests with SPSS software. The results indicated that the experimental group, which engaged in role-playing activities, showed a significant increase in critical thinking scores from 48.80 to 82.80, compared to the control group, whose scores increased from 28.60 to 63.20. The t-test analysis confirmed a significant difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that role-playing is an effective instructional model to enhance students’ critical thinking skills, especially in understanding complex biological concepts such as the circulatory system.

Abstract

Lack of learning media innovation is making students less active and leading to a low understanding of student concepts related to the material IPAS. This study aims to develop a board game exploring the Indonesian culture "JATARA", which is appropriate and effective as a cultural exploration medium for grade IV elementary school. The novelty of this study lies in the larger physical game board and the guidebook equipped with modules and handouts of material about Indonesian culture. This study uses the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were grade IV students of Lamenta State Elementary School. The data collection techniques used were questionnaires and tests. The research findings revealed that: (1) expert validation produced an average score of 91.25%, categorized as "very appropriate"; (2) material expert validation produced a score of 87.5%, categorized as "very appropriate"; (3) small group trials conducted by teachers and students produced scores of 97.92% and 95.83% respectively, both categorized as "very appropriate"; (4) large group trials produced a score of 96%, also categorized as "very practical"; (5) The evaluation test results were 100% in the "very effective" category. These results indicate that JATARA media is suitable and effective for use as a cultural exploration medium for grade IV elementary school. This media contributes significantly to "IPAS" learning by offering practical and innovative solutions that can increase student involvement and understanding in a cultural context, at the elementary education level.

Abstract

The development of information and communication technology has provided new opportunities in learning, including in Islamic Education, which often faces challenges in attracting the interest of elementary school students. This research aims to explore the use of the CulapCulip YouTube channel as an innovative medium for PAI learning at SDIT Ummi Aida Medan. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects include the school principal, PAI teachers, students, and parents. The research findings show that the utilisation of CulapCulip has a positive impact on students in three main aspects. First, from the motivation aspect, students are more enthusiastic, focused, and eager to participate in lessons due to the short, engaging, and age-appropriate video presentations. Secondly, from the aspect of understanding, students find it easier to comprehend abstract material, such as the stories of the prophets, and are able to retell the core lesson in their own words. Thirdly, from the aspect of religious attitudes, students show more positive behavioural changes, including diligently memorising prayers, emulating honesty, and behaving politely. For teachers, this media facilitates the delivery of material, creates a more interactive classroom atmosphere, and saves teaching time. In addition, the support from school principals and parents emphasises that CulapCulip is not only effective as a learning medium but also relevant in shaping the Islamic character of students. Thus, the use of CulapCulip YouTube can be an alternative strategy for innovative, enjoyable, and contextual PAI learning in facing the challenges of education in the digital era.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy is one of the essential skills developed in mathematics learning, as it supports critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in daily contexts. However, many students still struggle to apply mathematical symbols and strategies effectively. This study aims to analyse students’ numeracy literacy skills in solving systems of linear equations in two variables (SPLDV) by considering reflective and impulsive cognitive styles through the assimilation and accommodation framework. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with eighth-grade students at MTs N 2 Batang Hari as participants. Subjects were selected using the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT) to identify reflective and impulsive cognitive styles. Data were collected through numeracy literacy test questions, think-aloud protocols, and semi-structured interviews. Students’ responses were analysed based on indicators of numeracy literacy and their cognitive processes of assimilation and accommodation. The findings indicate that reflective students (R1 and R2) could analyse information accurately, employ mathematical symbols appropriately, construct SPLDV models, and conclude solutions logically. They predominantly demonstrated assimilation processes, showing careful and systematic reasoning. In contrast, impulsive students (I1 and I2) could identify information but struggled to use symbols and formal methods, often relying on guessing strategies. Their responses reflected accommodation processes, with lower accuracy and incomplete reasoning. In conclusion, reflective students achieved proficient numeracy and literacy skills, while impulsive students remained at a basic level. These results highlight the importance of tailoring instructional strategies to students’ cognitive styles to strengthen numeracy literacy competencies.
