Abstract

Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning in elementary schools is often delivered in a theoretical manner and remains insufficiently connected to students’ real-life experiences. In contrast, the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes contextual learning and character development by integrating Pancasila Student Profile values. This highlights the need for teaching materials that support conceptual understanding while reflecting local cultural contexts. This study aimed to develop a local wisdom–based Natural and Social Sciences teaching module integrated with the Pancasila Student Profile for elementary school students. The module was developed using the ADDIE model and implemented with 182 students in Grades 3, 4, and 5. Data were collected through expert validation, teacher response questionnaires, and student learning outcomes. The results indicated that the developed module achieved a high level of validity (76.62) and was considered highly practical by teachers. Statistical analysis also confirmed that the module was significantly effective in improving students’ learning outcomes. The implementation produced average scores of 81.41 in Grade 3, 81.35 in Grade 4, and 80.40 in Grade 5. These findings demonstrate that integrating local wisdom into teaching modules can enhance contextual learning while strengthening students’ cultural identity. Therefore, the module offers a relevant instructional resource to support the effective implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary education.

Abstract

This study examines how teachers contribute to the development of discipline and responsibility among elementary students, focusing on State Elementary School Puncu 2 in Kediri Regency. The research aims to examine the specific roles teachers play in fostering these character traits and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors that Influence their implementation. A qualitative case study design was applied, involving teachers and upper-grade students as participants. Data were gathered through classroom observations, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and examined using an interactive analytical framework comprising data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Credibility was strengthened through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that teachers function as moral exemplars, facilitators, classroom organizers, and evaluators in cultivating students’ discipline and responsibility. Character formation is implemented through structured habituation, consistent rule enforcement, reflective habit journals, classroom duty systems, daily task checklists, and positive reinforcement strategies. The effectiveness of these efforts is supported by strong teacher commitment, principal leadership, collaborative engagement with parents, and a conducive school culture. Conversely, variations in family background, inconsistent reinforcement at home, and limited student self-awareness present notable challenges. Overall, the study concludes that sustained teacher consistency, school-family partnership, and an enabling educational environment are decisive factors in successfully embedding discipline and responsibility at the elementary level.

Abstract

This study examines how a love-based curriculum is institutionalized within Islamic education management to develop a humanistic school culture. The research addresses the persistent gap between value-based educational leadership discourse and its practical implementation in institutional management, particularly in faith-based schooling contexts. This research employed a qualitative interpretive case study design conducted at MAN Kotawaringin Timur, Indonesia. Data were collected from 24 participants, including school leaders, teachers, staff members, students, and a school committee representative, through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and analysis of institutional documents. Data were analyzed using iterative thematic coding to identify patterns of value integration across management practices. The findings reveal that the love-based curriculum functions not only as a pedagogical approach but also as an organizational governance framework embedded in four interconnected managerial dimensions: value-oriented strategic planning, empathetic-participatory leadership, dialogical learning practices, and continuous character-oriented evaluation. These dimensions collectively form an integrative Islamic education management model that transforms ethical values into institutional drivers shaping relational trust, psychological safety, and student social-religious engagement. Theoretically, this study contributes to value-based educational leadership and school culture research by conceptualizing love as an institutional governance mechanism within Islamic educational management.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Talking Stick cooperative learning model on students' learning outcomes in science subjects at SDN Tindaki. The background of this research is the relatively low learning outcomes of students in science subjects. Therefore, an appropriate learning model is needed to improve students' understanding and participation during the learning process. This research employed a quantitative, pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest method. The study subjects were 16 fifth-grade students from SDN Tindaki. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, and analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics, including a t-test after satisfying normality test requirements. The results showed that the average pretest score was 56.25, while the average posttest score increased to 81.56. The results of the hypothesis test showed that the calculated t-value (13.27) was greater than the t-table value (2.131) at the 0.05 significance level. This indicates that the cooperative learning model of the Talking Stick type significantly improves students' learning outcomes in science subjects for fifth-grade students at SDN Tindaki.

Abstract

Pesantren is a distinctive Islamic educational institution in Indonesia that functions not only as a center for transmitting religious knowledge but also as a medium for internalizing values, shaping character, and strengthening social life. This study examines the history of Pondok Pesantren Syekh Hasan Yamani and its influence on Islamic education in West Sulawesi, focusing on its establishment, development, and contributions to the region. This research uses a qualitative approach with a historical perspective, applying methods such as heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Data were collected through literature review, field observations, interviews with pesantren leaders, teachers, alumni, and community figures, as well as document analysis. This approach enables a systematic reconstruction of the pesantren’s historical development and its social-religious significance. The findings reveal that Pondok Pesantren Syekh Hasan Yamani was established in 1980 under the leadership of KH. Muh. Said Al-Mahdaly, continuing earlier da‘wah activities through religious gatherings and majelis taklim. Over time, the pesantren has adapted to societal changes while maintaining its traditional Islamic values. Its contributions are reflected in strengthening religious education, fostering students’ moral character, and serving as a center for da‘wah and community empowerment. Thus, the pesantren plays a strategic role in developing Islamic education and reinforcing Islamic identity in West Sulawesi.

Abstract

The rapid integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in higher education has raised pedagogical and ethical concerns regarding its role in academic writing. This study investigates students’ views on the anticipated functions, perceived benefits, and challenges of AI-assisted academic writing. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was employed, involving 89 second-year students with prior experience using GenAI tools. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and qualitative interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that most students perceive GenAI as a writing assistant (85%) and feedback provider (78%). A substantial proportion report increased writing efficiency (82%) and improved writing quality (76%) when using GenAI tools. However, concerns regarding over-dependence (45%) and potential plagiarism risks (32%) were also identified. Overall, students position GenAI as a supportive pedagogical aid that enhances drafting and revision processes while acknowledging important ethical and cognitive challenges. These findings highlight the need for structured instructional guidance and the development of AI literacy to ensure responsible and pedagogically aligned integration of GenAI in academic writing instruction.

Abstract

This research addresses the fading existence of the Sining ritual tradition among the Gayo community in Central Aceh, driven by modernization and globalization, which have diminished youth interest in this cultural heritage. The objective is to explore the educational values and local wisdom embedded in Sining and to examine its potential for revitalization as a source of character education. This study employs a literature review method with a qualitative approach. Data were gathered from books, scholarly journal articles, and research reports through documentary study. Analysis was conducted using qualitative content analysis, involving data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results reveal that the Sining ritual holds deep symbolic and philosophical meanings, reflecting harmony with nature, gratitude, mutual cooperation, respect for ancestors, and a sense of divinity. It serves as a medium for transmitting values of character education, such as discipline, responsibility, teamwork, empathy, and social concern. Revitalizing Sining also plays a crucial role in preserving Gayo local wisdom, including botanical knowledge, traditional farming systems, and vernacular architecture. Furthermore, the tradition embodies social values that strengthen community solidarity and religious values that integrate Islamic teachings with local culture. The study concludes that Sining is a comprehensive cultural entity worthy of revitalization as a source of character education grounded in local wisdom.

Abstract

Microteaching plays a crucial role in preparing student-teachers to become effective educators by bridging theoretical knowledge and practical classroom skills. However, students often face significant challenges in applying pedagogical theories to real teaching contexts, particularly within faith-based and multilingual settings such as UNIQHBA. This study aims to identify and analyze the academic needs of students in microteaching classes by examining the perspectives of both students and lecturers. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and non-participant classroom observations with final-year education students and microteaching lecturers. The findings reveal key academic needs, including difficulties in lesson planning and time management, challenges in using instructional English, low teaching confidence, inadequate feedback mechanisms, and limited access to teaching resources. These results indicate a persistent gap between pedagogical theory and actual classroom practice. The study concludes that microteaching programs require redesign to incorporate scaffolded practice, structured reflection, and improved resource availability.
