Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of pocket books in improving dental knowledge among 5th and 6th grade students at MI Nurul Hidayah, Gandus Village, Palembang City. The research method used is a pseudo-experiment with a pre and post-test design. There were 60 students in the study, divided into two groups: the control group and the experimental group. These findings suggest that the experimental group's understanding of dental caries before and after using pocket books differed significantly. Children in grades V and VI have increased their awareness of dental caries by 13% and 10%, respectively, thanks to pocket books. As a result, one of the best learning resources to raise awareness of dental caries in children is the pocket book.

Abstract

Globalization has boosted economic growth, making shipping the most vital mode of transportation and highlighting the need for competent, English-speaking seafarers. So, maritime academy students must be proficient in oral Maritime English (ME) to ensure clear communication and prevent mishaps. This study explored the roles of Artificial Intelligence (AI)  towards the communication strategies used by students. Using a mixed-methods design, data were collected through speaking activity observations and semi-structured interviews. Before using AI, students relied on strategies like topic avoidance, message abandonment, approximation, code-switching, and stalling. After AI integration, more effective strategies emerged, such as approximation, clarification-seeking, stalling, and self-correction. The roles of AI towards students’ communication strategy were helping them to avoid literal translation, rely less on others, eliminate message abandonment, and reduce stalling, leading to improved fluency, independence, and professional communication in maritime contexts.

Abstract

Community participation is essential in improving education quality, particularly in rural areas facing resource and access limitations. This study explores the role and effectiveness of community involvement in implementing education policies to enhance student learning outcomes. A qualitative-descriptive approach was used, involving field observations, policy document analysis, and in-depth interviews with stakeholders in remote areas. Findings indicate that active participation from parents, community leaders, and local organizations supports policy monitoring, informal learning assistance, and a strong learning culture. However, effectiveness depends on policy literacy, local government support, and collaboration frameworks. The study highlights the need to adapt policies to local socio-cultural contexts and develop partnership models to ensure inclusive and sustainable rural education.

Abstract

Reflective competence is vital for prospective teachers to foster critical thinking and lifelong learning. However, digital learning environments often lack support for metacognitive awareness and self-regulation. This study used a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design involving 128 education students from two Indonesian LPTKs over one semester. Pre-tests and post-tests using the Reflective Thinking Scale (RTS) assessed quantitative changes, while qualitative data came from learning logs and interviews. Results showed a significant improvement in reflective competence (p < 0.01), particularly in critical reflection and thinking strategies. Adaptive gamification that adjusted challenges and feedback in real time enhanced engagement and learning depth. Metacognitive integration in gamification promoted self-regulation, reflective questioning, and skill transfer to teaching practice. Metacognition-based adaptive gamification effectively supports the development of reflective competence in prospective teachers.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant transformation to the field of education, particularly in the implementation of deep learning approaches. This study aims to review various literature sources on the integration of AI in deep learning to create learning experiences that are more personalized, adaptive, efficient, and inclusive. Through a literature review of scholarly sources, this study identifies several AI applications such as chatbots, content recommendation systems, automated assessments, language learning apps, and learning analytics that support the core principles of deep learning: mindfulness, meaningfulness, and joyfulness. The findings indicate that AI can enhance student motivation, provide real-time feedback, and respond to individual learning needs. However, challenges remain in terms of data privacy, technological access gaps, and ethical considerations. Therefore, effective implementation strategies, teacher competency development, and inclusive policies are essential for the successful adoption of AI-based deep learning. This study offers practical insights for educators and policymakers to optimize the potential of AI in improving the quality of education in the digital era.

Abstract

Quality education is closely related to leaders. Leaders who have a vision, are creative, and innovative will be able to advance education in Indonesia. With the progress of education, the community will be satisfied with the needs needed. This study aims to determine the madrasah head's policy in achieving the vision, mission, and educational goals and to find visionary leadership in implementing the vision for the advancement of academic quality. To get good findings, researchers used a qualitative approach. Data collection was conducted using interviews, observation, and documentation. The research informants were the head of the madrasah, the deputy head of the madrasah, and several teachers. This study found that visionary leadership is implemented optimally. This can be seen as follows: 1) Formulating Vision. The formulation of this vision is based on the personal values of the madrasah head. The madrasah principal changed the vision of the madrasah to be more focused in the future by evaluating activities once a semester. Hold weekly meetings to listen to suggestions or complaints from teachers. The principal also makes short and long-term programs. That way the planned activities will run according to plan. 2) Implement the Vision. In implementing the vision, the madrasah principal does things such as giving birth to 5 madrasah principles 1) Faithful, 2) Order and discipline, 3) Ahlakul Karimah, 4) Ukhuwah Islamiyah, 5) Capable.

Abstract

This study explores how parenting styles shape children’s character and resilience against social media influence in the digital era. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews and observations involving 10 parents and 10 children from various backgrounds in Jakarta, Depok, Jelambar, and Bekasi. The findings show that authoritative, permissive, authoritarian, and uninvolved parenting styles affect children’s discipline, responsibility, honesty, and digital ethics differently. Strategies include supervision, access limits, open dialogue, and digital literacy. The study contributes to adaptive parenting approaches and supports the development of family-based digital literacy programs. Collaboration among parents, educators, and stakeholders is essential to foster a safe and supportive digital environment for children’s character development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Indonesia Smart College Card (KIP-K) assistance on student motivation to study at the Faculty of Economics and Business, State University of Jakarta. KIP-K as an educational assistance program from the government is expected not only to ease the financial burden, but also to increase motivation both intrinsically and extrinsically. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with a survey approach through a questionnaire to 84 respondents who are KIP-K recipients. The regression analysis results show that there is a positive and significant influence between KIP-K assistance and student learning motivation, with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a coefficient of determination of 24.6%. This finding reinforces that financial support can be a driver of enthusiasm for learning, both from within students (intrinsic motivation) and due to external factors such as family expectations and rewards (extrinsic motivation). This study recommends that the KIP-K program should continue to be developed, not only in terms of financial assistance, but also with approaches that encourage the growth of sustainable learning motivation.
