Abstract

This study explores how classroom tasks enhance students’ communicative competence in English in a receptionist training program using Project-Based Learning (PJBL). By incorporating role-playing, simulations, and task-based interactions reflecting real-life scenarios such as guest greetings, check-ins, complaint handling, and local knowledge sharing, the program aims to develop four components of communicative competence: grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis and then analyzed thematically. The findings show that tailored classroom tasks improve students’ ability to use appropriate grammar and vocabulary, adjust communication to social contexts, organize coherent responses, and employ strategies to overcome communication barriers. This study highlights the critical role of classroom tasks in bridging the gap between theoretical learning and professional demands, offering practical insights for educators to design effective ESP curricula tailored to the hospitality sector

Abstract

This study examines the management of the Islamic Propagation Council of Indonesia (DDII) in the context of developing an Islamic society in Metro. In the era of modernization, Islamic propagation organizations face challenges in re-examining their roles and functions, especially when dealing with complex political and social dynamics. As a structural Islamic propagation institution, DDII has a strategic position in shaping the order of Islamic life through the approach of Islamic propagation bi al-lisān and bi al-hāl. This study aims to analyze three main aspects: the concept of Islamic propagation of DDII, Islamic propagation management in developing Islamic society, and the implementation of the concept of developing Islamic society in Metro City. Using a qualitative approach with a single instrumental case study method, this study involved participant observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. Key informants included the leadership of DDII Metro City, senior figures of the organization, religious figures, and the local Muslim community. The results of the study indicate that DDII has developed an adaptive and inclusive Islamic propagation model with a focus on strengthening aqidah, empowering the economy of the community, and optimizing the role of the mosque. In the digital era, DDII responded to the challenges by developing digital da'wah infrastructure and improving the competence of da'i in the use of modern technology. Despite facing various challenges, including the shifting role of da'wah organizations in the context of contemporary politics, DDII managed to maintain its position as a moral force that contributed to the development of Islamic society and the integrity of the nation. This study provides theoretical contributions in the development of structural da'wah management and practical contributions for stakeholders in optimizing the role of da'wah for the development of Islamic society

Abstract

Al Islam education is the foundation of all sciences in the formation of the nation's character, especially in school students labeled as Islamic. In this case, it is inseparable from Al Islam education for inclusion in elementary schools (SD). This study aims to analyze the concept of Al Islam education learning in an independent curriculum-based inclusion school in grade 2 of SD Muhammadiyah 1 Kebomas, and analyze the application of Al Islam education learning in an inclusive school based on an independent curriculum in grade 2 of SD Muhammadiyah 1 Kebomas. The researcher compiled this research using qualitative research methods, while the data collection techniques used in this study were observation, interview, and documentary techniques. The data analysis techniques used by the researcher are the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana models, which consist of three stages: data representation, data display, and conclusions. From the data collection and analysis techniques used by the researcher, it was found that the learning of Al Islam education in inclusive schools does not prevent Al Islam education from being taught to inclusion students; that is, in the application of Al Islam education, there are things that must be adjusted to the abilities of inclusion students, which is also in accordance with the independent curriculum applied in the 2nd grade of SD Muhammadiyah 1 Keboma

Abstract

The Korean Wave has spread increasingly across various countries, with social media and peer groups serving as its primary channels of dissemination. Traditional values play an important role in adolescents’ decisions to adopt cultural elements from the Korean Wave phenomenon. This study aimed to analyze the influence of social media access, traditional values, and peer interaction on adolescents’ Korean Wave behavior. A quantitative research design was used, involving 100 adolescent Korean fans purposively selected from the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). Data were collected online using Google Forms and analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS. The SEM analysis results show that the Korean Wave behavior is influenced by social media access, traditional values, and peer interaction. Social media access and peer interaction were found to have a direct positive effect on Korean Wave behavior. Additionally, social media access had an indirect effect on Korean Wave behavior through peer interaction. In contrast, traditional values were found to have a significant negative effect on Korean Wave behavior. It is recommended that the government adopt creative strategies to rebrand local culture to remain competitive in the era of cultural globalization amid the Korean Wave phenomenon. Raising adolescents’ awareness and appreciation of Indonesian culture is also essential and can be fostered through school activities and the internalization of cultural values within families

Abstract

The objective of this descriptive qualitative research is to analyze the significance and religious purpose of the Upah-Upah Tondi tradition contained in the Batak Mandailing tribe. The data for this research are from the literature. The data sources of this research are journals, books, and articles about the Upah-Upah Tondi tradition. There are significant differences in the Upah-Upah Tondi tradition. They can be divided into the materials used and behavioral processes. The materials used in the Upah-Upah Tondi tradition are customized according to the level of illness. Ordinary illnesses typically involve the use of boiled eggs. Symbolically, a round egg, consisting of a yolk and white, represents the wholeness of the spirit and body.  Severe illnesses usually affect chicken and goat heads. Chicken is the most important requirement in this tradition because it symbolizes hope in the recovery process from the illness. Therefore, the behavioral process in Upah-Upah Tondi, like the rotation of the tray to the right, symbolizes goodness. Batak Mandailing people believe that good things come from the right, whereas the rotation of the tray to the right symbolizes goodness. The religious purpose of the Upah-Upah tradition includes the value of faith, gratitude, and connecting relatives

Abstract

This research and development (R&D) study aimed to develop, validate, and test the effectiveness of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) based reading comprehension materials for eleventh-grade students. Recognizing that reading comprehension is a critical yet challenging skill, this study addressed the need for more creative and effective teaching methods. OBE, which focuses on organizing the educational system around essential outcomes students must achieve, was employed as the foundational framework. The study followed the Borg & Gall R&D cycle. The population was students of SMK AL WASHLIYAH 12 SEI RAMPAH, with a sample of 15 students from class XI-1 selected as the experimental group. Data were collected through literacy studies, interviews, observations, group discussions, and documentation. Material validation was analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques, resulting in an average validity score of 4.1, indicating a "good" level of quality. The effectiveness of the developed materials was determined using the N-gain score. The results demonstrated a significant improvement, with an average increase of 9.13% in learning outcomes and a classical passing rate of 86.66%. The N-gain score of 81.94% further confirms the high effectiveness of the OBE-based materials. It was concluded that the developed reading comprehension materials are both valid and effective, making them a viable tool for enhancing English reading instruction and achieving defined learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between digital literacy competencies and learning outcomes through the implementation of blended learning models in Indonesian higher education institutions during the post-pandemic period. Employing a qualitative research methodology, this investigation utilized semi-structured interviews were conducted with 25 university students and 15 faculty members across five Indonesian universities, complemented by a document analysis of institutional policies and learning management system data. Through thematic analysis, following Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach, four primary themes emerged: (1) Digital Competency Development, (2) Pedagogical Transformation, (3) Learning Engagement Adaptation, and (4) Institutional Infrastructure Challenges. The findings revealed that students with higher digital literacy levels demonstrated enhanced learning outcomes in blended environments, characterized by improved critical thinking skills, increased collaborative engagement, and greater autonomous learning capabilities. However, significant disparities exist in digital access and competency levels, creating educational inequities that require institutional interventions. The study concludes that successful blended learning implementation necessitates comprehensive digital literacy development programs, robust technological infrastructure, and adaptive pedagogical strategies that bridge the digital divide, while enhancing educational quality in post-pandemic higher education contexts

Abstract

This study presents a systematic literature review focusing on learning models, strategies, and the design of digital teaching materials in the context of education in the digital era. Drawing from 38 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2023, the research explores how digital technology has transformed pedagogical practices. The analysis reveals a strong emphasis on student-centered learning models, where students actively construct knowledge and develop problem-solving skills, rather than passively receiving information. Learning strategies such as problem-based, project-based, and research-based learning are widely promoted to foster critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. A key finding is the increasing adoption of blended learning, which combines face-to-face instruction with online platforms, thereby supporting more flexible and interactive educational experiences. However, the success of these strategies heavily depends on educators’ digital literacy, especially their competence in integrating technology with pedagogy and content. The design of digital teaching materials must also be aligned with learning objectives and students' needs. Effective materials incorporate diverse formats, such as infographics, videos, podcasts, and virtual labs, and are grounded in principles of relevance, consistency, and adequacy. The study concludes that digital pedagogy is becoming more widely implemented in Indonesia’s educational landscape. To ensure its effectiveness, educators must be equipped with adequate ICT skills, supported by proper infrastructure, and encouraged to collaborate with students for continuous improvement. With the right approach, digital technology can enhance educational outcomes, promote lifelong learning, and respond to the evolving needs of students in a technology-driven society

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between digital governance implementation and administrative corruption reduction in Southeast Asia, focusing on how e-government services influence citizen trust and mitigate corrupt practices. Through qualitative analysis of eight Southeast Asian countries, this research explores the mechanisms through which digital transformation enhances transparency, accountability, and public participation in governance processes. The study employs in-depth interviews with government officials, civil society representatives, and citizens to understand the multifaceted impact of e-government initiatives on corruption reduction. Findings reveal that countries with higher E-Government Development Index (EGDI) scores demonstrate significantly lower corruption levels and enhanced citizen trust, with Singapore leading the region in both digital governance maturity and corruption perception scores. The research identifies key success factors including robust ICT infrastructure, comprehensive digital literacy programs, and strong institutional frameworks that support transparent governance practices. However, challenges persist in bridging the digital divide and ensuring equitable access to digital services across socioeconomic groups. The study concludes that while e-government services demonstrate substantial potential for reducing administrative corruption, their effectiveness depends critically on contextual factors including political commitment, technological readiness, and citizen engagement levels. These findings contribute to the growing body of literature on digital governance and provide practical insights for policymakers seeking to leverage technology for anti-corruption efforts in developing nations
