Abstract

This study is entitled Implementation of Management in Educational Organizations (Case Study at SMP IT Ruhul Islam Simeulue Aceh). The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of educational management in schools experiencing management problems. This research was conducted at SMP IT Ruhul Islam in Simeulue Regency, Aceh, using a qualitative method with pedagogical and sociological approaches. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, with informants selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, including the principal, teachers, students, parents, and school committee. The results show that the implementation of school management faces various challenges, including suboptimal use of human resources, declining student competitiveness, and limited management effectiveness. Although support from parents with middle-to-upper economic backgrounds helps provide facilities, the school still faces risks due to economic disparities and its temporary infrastructure status. The study also found that the decline in school performance since 2019 was influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly due to the unpreparedness of school leadership in managing online learning. Strengthening discipline, improving management quality, and optimizing resources are essential to enhance graduate competitiveness.

Abstract

The persistent urban–rural digital divide in Indonesia severely limits the quality of technology-enhanced learning in elementary schools. This study evaluates a community service initiative that provided a structured digital literacy training programme to 60 rural elementary teachers in West Java. Employing a one-group pretest–posttest quantitative design, the investigation measured teachers’ digital literacy competence before and after a five-day intensive workshop followed by four weeks of online mentoring, using a validated 30-item Digital Literacy Competence Scale grounded in the DigCompEdu framework. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, paired-samples t‑test, Cohen’s d effect size, and hierarchical multiple regression. The results demonstrate a substantial and statistically significant improvement in overall digital literacy, with a very large effect size (d = 2.39). All six digital competence sub-domains increased significantly, although content creation displayed the smallest gain. Hierarchical regression revealed that pretest scores, younger age, and prior ICT training were significant positive predictors of post-training competence, whereas years of teaching experience and school infrastructure were not. Perceived barriers such as unreliable internet connectivity and device scarcity remained high despite the intervention. The findings confirm that intensive, community-based digital literacy training can dramatically enhance rural teachers’ digital competence, yet they also highlight the necessity of addressing systemic infrastructure gaps. Implications for teacher professional development policy and community service design are discussed, together with study limitations and directions for future research

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding is breast milk given to babies from birth for six months without adding and/or replacing it with other foods or drinks. The initial phase in the life cycle which is a critical period for nutritional management is the infant phase. In this phase, very rapid growth and development occur, requiring high nutritional needs. Malnutrition disorders that occur in the infant phase can be permanent and cannot be recovered even if subsequent nutritional needs are met. This research is an analytical survey using a cross-sectional design. This community service activity was carried out in Aek Haruaya Village, Portibi District, North Padang Lawas Regency in 2026. The target of this activity was 39 pregnant women domiciled in Aek Haruaya Village. It is hoped that after this activity, pregnant women's knowledge about Exclusive Breastfeeding will increase, thereby increasing the coverage of Exclusive Breastfeeding, especially in the Aek Haruaya Village area.

Abstract

Regional economic growth is a fundamenal indicator in assessing development performance and community welfare. Madura Island, as part of East Java Province, continues to record a relatively lower level of economic growth compared to other regions. This study aimed to analyze the effects of Local Own-Source Revenue, Intergovernmental Transfers, Capital Expenditure, and Household Consumption on economic growth in Madura Island. This study uses a quantitative method based on secondary data obtained for the period 2020–2024 across four regencies in Madura Island, namely Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan, and Sumenep. Panel data regression is used as the analytical method. The results show that, partially, Local Own-Source Revenue was found to have no significant influence on economic growth in Madura, while Intergovernmental Transfers, Capital Expenditure, and Household Consumption have positive and significant effects. These findings indicate that economic growth in Madura Island remains dependent on central government transfers, the effectiveness of development expenditure, and household purchasing power, while the role of local revenue has not yet been optimal.

Abstract

The adoption of B20 biodiesel blends in Indonesia’s diesel fleet is a strategic measure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, yet it often elevates nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions due to the fuel-bound oxygen and altered combustion phasing. This study presents a comprehensive numerical and experimental investigation aimed at optimizing the combustion chamber geometry of a 2.5 L turbocharged direct-injection diesel engine to mitigate NOx formation while maintaining engine performance with B20. A parametric design of experiments incorporating bowl diameter, bowl depth, squish clearance, and re-entrant ratio was constructed using a central composite design. Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulations, validated by in-cylinder pressure and emission measurements, were performed for 30 distinct piston bowl configurations. Response surface methodology and a multi-objective genetic algorithm were employed to minimize NOx and soot emissions while limiting fuel consumption penalty. The optimal geometry—characterized by an enlarged bowl diameter (53.2 mm), a shallower bowl depth (17.8 mm), a reduced squish height (1.1 mm), and a mild re-entrant profile (ratio 0.72)—achieved a 34.2% reduction in NOx (from 4.82 to 3.17 g/kWh) compared to the baseline piston, with a moderate soot increase from 9.8 to 12.3 mg/kWh and a specific fuel consumption rise of only 1.4%. The improvement is primarily attributed to enhanced premixed combustion, lower peak temperatures, and a more homogeneous equivalence ratio distribution. The results confirm that tailored piston bowl optimization is a viable, cost-effective pathway for NOx compliance in B20-fuelled engines under Indonesian operating conditions

Abstract

Differentiated learning emerges as a strategic response to the diversity of student characteristics in elementary schools, particularly within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia. The humanistic perspective offers a relevant philosophical foundation because it places students at the center of the learning process and recognizes the uniqueness of each learner. This study aims to analyze how the humanistic perspective contributes to the implementation of differentiated learning in elementary schools through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The study employs the SLR method following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines through systematic identification, screening, and synthesis of literature. Literature was searched in databases such as Google Scholar, SINTA, and reputable international journals within the publication range of 2010 to 2025. From 84 identified articles, 16 articles met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the humanistic perspective, especially the theories of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, provides essential philosophical foundations for differentiated learning by emphasizing self-actualization, freedom to learn, empathy, and the recognition of individual differences. The integration of humanistic principles strengthens the three dimensions of differentiation, namely content, process, and product, by ensuring that learning activities respond to students' readiness, interests, and learning profiles. Furthermore, the implementation of humanistic values ​​in differentiated learning enhances students' learning motivation, engagement, self-confidence, and holistic development. Therefore, the humanistic perspective plays a strategic role as a conceptual basis for designing meaningful, contextual, and learner centered differentiated instruction in elementary schools.

Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life is a critical public health strategy to ensure optimal growth, development, and survival of infants, yet coverage in Indonesia remains below global targets. Pregnant women are a strategic target group for breastfeeding counseling because knowledge, attitudes, and social support formed during pregnancy strongly influence later feeding practices. This analytical survey with a cross-sectional design was conducted as part of a community-based health education program in Aek Haruaya Village, Portibi District, North Padang Lawas Regency, Indonesia, in 2026. A total of 39 pregnant women participated in a structured counseling session on the definition, benefits, and correct practice of exclusive breastfeeding, followed by an assessment of maternal knowledge. Post-education, 51% of respondents demonstrated good knowledge and 49% demonstrated sufficient knowledge regarding exclusive breastfeeding, indicating that most participants reached at least a moderate level of understanding. The activity was well received and highlighted persistent gaps in prior exposure to breastfeeding education among pregnant women in the village. The findings support integrating systematic health education on exclusive breastfeeding into routine antenatal services in rural areas to strengthen mothers’ knowledge and contribute to increasing exclusive breastfeeding coverage.
