Abstract

Teacher professional development is essential for improving the quality of early childhood education and requires effective principal strategies to support continuous professional learning. However, evidence on such strategies in integrated Islamic early childhood education settings remains limited. This study aimed to analyse principal strategies for teacher professional development at TK IT Al Ittihad Pekanbaru, Indonesia. A descriptive qualitative single-case study was conducted involving four purposively selected participants, comprising the principal, vice principal, and two teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis, and analysed using Braun and Clarke’s reflexive thematic analysis supported by ATLAS.ti 9. The findings revealed eight interconnected themes: strategic planning, teacher professional development initiatives, competency strengthening, professional learning culture, monitoring and evaluation, follow-up actions, supporting factors, and implementation barriers. The findings suggest that, within the context of TK IT Al Ittihad Pekanbaru, teacher professional development was perceived to be supported through interconnected practices involving instructional leadership, collaborative professional learning, continuous improvement, and the integration of Islamic values. These findings contribute to the educational leadership literature by providing contextual evidence on principal strategies for teacher professional development in integrated Islamic early childhood education settings.

Abstract

Character education plays a vital role in fostering politeness and discipline among elementary school students. Indonesian Language instruction provides a strategic context for character development because language use reflects students' attitudes, discipline, and social behavior. This study aimed to describe the strategies of a character education program implemented through Indonesian Language instruction to foster politeness and discipline in an elementary school. A qualitative case study was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah Kadisoka, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, over a four-month period. The participants consisted of one principal, one vice principal for curriculum affairs, one fifth-grade Indonesian Language teacher, and one purposively selected fifth-grade student who participated in the interviews. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations involving fifth-grade students, and document analysis and were validated using source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that character education was implemented through three interconnected strategies: (1) integrating politeness and discipline values into lesson planning, (2) implementing learning activities based on teacher modeling, classroom rules, and habitual use of polite language, and (3) reinforcing moral knowledge, moral feeling, and moral action throughout the learning process. Evidence from classroom observations showed that students generally demonstrated polite language use, compliance with classroom norms, and positive communication during learning activities, while the interviewed student's perspectives complemented these observational findings. The study proposes a conceptual model illustrating how Indonesian Language instruction can support the integration of character education within the school context. These findings provide practical guidance for teachers and school leaders in implementing systematic and integrated character education programs.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has created opportunities to improve physical education through interactive learning media. This study aimed to develop an interactive learning media application using ML Kit pose estimation to support the learning of fundamental non-locomotor movements among elementary school students. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. The product was validated by one learning expert, one subject-matter expert, and one media expert, and implemented with one physical education teacher and 19 elementary school students at MIN 24 Aceh Utara. Data were collected through validation questionnaires, observations, interviews, and system performance testing. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive percentage analysis, while qualitative data were used to support product evaluation. The results showed that the developed media was highly feasible, with validation scores of 95% from the learning expert, 93% from the subject-matter expert, and 98% from the media expert. The pose estimation system achieved an accuracy of 99.56% in detecting students' non-locomotor movements. The application provided real-time visual feedback to support movement accuracy and student engagement. In conclusion, the developed interactive learning media is highly feasible and technically accurate for supporting the teaching of fundamental non-locomotor movements in elementary schools. The integration of ML Kit pose estimation provides an innovative approach to enhancing interactive and technology-assisted physical education learning.

Abstract

This study describes Total Quality Management (TQM) practices and their perceived relationship with community interest in enrollment at TK Aisyiyah Pembina Banguntapan. A qualitative single case study design was employed. Data were collected through four semi structured interviews with four informants, consisting of the principal and three school committee members who were also parents, supported by non participant observations, WhatsApp group monitoring, and documentation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, coding, thematic categorization, comparison across data sources, and triangulation. The findings show that TQM practices were implemented through identifying parents’ needs, evaluation based quality planning, stakeholder involvement, learning standardization, integration of religious and life skill programs, teacher competence development, responsive communication, and continuous service improvement. These practices were perceived by stakeholders as supporting parental trust and community interest through perceived service quality, religious value alignment, teacher responsiveness, communication, accessibility, reputation, and social recommendations. However, changes in enrollment from 56 applicants in 2024/2025 to 73 in 2025/2026 represent descriptive enrollment dynamics and do not demonstrate that TQM directly caused enrollment growth. The study contributes a contextual understanding of TQM practices in a faith based early childhood education institution.

Abstract

Rice-field pawning remains a common form of community-based financing in East Lampung, Indonesia, where agricultural land is pledged as collateral to meet urgent economic needs. However, the utilization of pledged land by the murtahin may create an imbalance in rights, obligations, risks, and economic benefits when the arrangement lacks clear contractual boundaries. This study aimed to analyze the utilization of pawned rice fields from the perspective of Sharia economic law and to formulate a reconstruction of justice governing the relationship between rahin and murtahin. A qualitative field research design was employed in Purbolinggo District, East Lampung Regency. Data were collected through field observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that rice-field pawning was predominantly based on oral agreements and customary practice, with the murtahin controlling and cultivating the land and receiving agricultural yields until the debt was repaid, while contractual duration, benefit allocation, and utilization mechanisms remained unclear. The proposed reconstruction emphasizes restoring rahn to its debt-security function, separating the loan agreement from land-utilization arrangements, establishing a definite contractual period, strengthening written documentation, and regulating agricultural benefits proportionately. The study concludes that these mechanisms provide a more balanced framework for protecting both parties, strengthening contractual certainty, and aligning rice-field pawning with Sharia economic law.

Abstract

Tondongkura Village has considerable potential for peanut farming but faces irrigation constraints due to hilly topography and dependence on gasoline-powered pumps. This community engagement program aimed to empower peanut farmers through a solar-powered irrigation system based on a DC pump as an appropriate technology for sustainable agriculture. A participatory approach was implemented through five stages: problem identification, system design, technology implementation, training and technology transfer, and mentoring and monitoring. The program involved 21 peanut farmers from the Bujung-Bujung Farmers Group. The results showed an increase in the average evaluation score from 36.3% to 72.1%, representing an improvement of 35.7 percentage points. The implementation strengthened farmers’ knowledge, skills, and independence in operating and maintaining the irrigation system while reducing dependence on fossil-fuel-based pumping. The program demonstrates the potential of solar-powered irrigation as an appropriate technology to support more efficient, energy-independent, and sustainable peanut farming.

Abstract

This community service activity introduced Autodesk Sketchbook as an accessible medium for digital painting and culturally relevant visual expression at Ranggong Daeng Romo Junior High School, Takalar Regency. The activity involved 30 Grade VIII students selected by the school and was delivered in a multimedia room through orientation, feature demonstrations, guided practice, independent production, presentations, and feedback. The implementation sequence comprised socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and reflection. The evidence available for this report consists of facilitator field notes, photographs, and student work samples. These materials document students' participation and the use of brushes, layers, color, and export functions to produce digital sketches. Because individual pre-test and post-test sheets, attendance records, and completed scoring rubrics were not available in the archived materials, this article does not calculate the proportion of students meeting a performance threshold and does not make a causal claim about changes in creativity. Its practical contribution is a replicable workshop sequence and a proposed analytical rubric covering ideas and creativity, composition, color use, digital techniques, neatness, and independence. The activity demonstrates the feasibility of introducing digital art literacy through guided practice, while systematic assessment and follow-up training are recommended for future cycles.

Abstract

Digital transformation has reshaped organizational landscapes, including how organizations develop human resource (HR) competencies. Information technology (IT) has become a strategic infrastructure supporting employee learning, training, and career development. This study aims to explore the forms of IT utilization in HR development, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and analyze their implications for the effectiveness of HR development at the organizational level. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Abdul Muthalib Sangadji Ambon, formerly IAIN Ambon. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten informants, participatory observation, and documentation studies, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Data validity was maintained through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate six principal forms of IT utilization in HR development: Learning Management Systems (LMS), virtual training and blended learning, mobile learning/microlearning, HR Information Systems (HRIS) for career planning, community-based knowledge management systems, and people analytics for identifying development needs. Supporting factors include leadership commitment, infrastructure readiness, and employee digital literacy, while inhibiting factors include cross-generational digital competency gaps, workload constraints, and insufficient evaluation of digital learning's impact on performance. This study contributes contextual insights into organizational actors' experiences of IT integration in HR development and highlights its potential to support adaptive, technology-based HR development. The findings also provide practical considerations for HR practitioners in designing employee digital capability strategies.

Abstract

Coastal economic empowerment increasingly depends on collaboration among public institutions, community organisations, and local intermediaries, yet the mechanisms through which collaborative capacity becomes durable economic autonomy remain insufficiently understood. This study examines how collaborative governance operates in coastal Pangkep, Indonesia, and why relational gains do not always translate into stronger economic control. A qualitative single-case study used semi-structured interviews with three purposively selected key informants representing the district fisheries authority, fisheries extension service, and fisher-group leadership. Interviews were conducted on 8–10 July 2026 and triangulated with field observations and relevant policy, planning, programme, statistical, and community documents. Data were analysed through deductive–inductive thematic coding and cross-informant comparison. Findings show that collaboration functions primarily through a brokered network linking government, extension services, and community organisations. This arrangement strengthens information exchange, trust, technical learning, financial awareness, and livelihood adaptation. However, limited access to untied finance, appropriate technology, storage, logistics, and diversified markets constrains the conversion of these capacities into economic autonomy; patron–client relations simultaneously provide livelihood protection and reproduce dependence. The study conceptualises this gap as a conversion bottleneck. Policy should therefore combine institutionalised collaborative brokerage with participatory procurement, flexible financing, value-chain infrastructure, and market diversification. The findings are analytically transferable rather than statistically generalisable and remain bounded by the three-informant case design.

Abstract

Community cadres often work between voluntary participation and paid public service. This study examines the service arrangement of Bina Keluarga Balita (BKB) cadres integrated with Posyandu in Natar Village, South Lampung, and evaluates its conformity with ijarah al-asykhash under Islamic economic law. Using empirical legal research with a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and document review involving ten purposively selected informants from provincial and subdistrict program institutions, the village government, Posyandu management, and BKB cadres. Data were analyzed inductively using source triangulation and a normative matrix covering the parties, consent, services, service period, ujrah, rights, obligations, and dispute prevention. The findings show that the village head's decree establishes organizational membership rather than a complete service contract. Duties and schedules are mainly communicated orally, activities generally follow the monthly Posyandu agenda, and cadres receive IDR 130,000 per month, but these elements are not brought together in one clear agreement. The absence of a written document does not automatically invalidate ijarah because Islamic law recognizes oral agreements. The main weakness is uncertainty about the authorized service recipient, detailed duties, scheduling, the basis and procedure of payment, and responsibility. The arrangement therefore cannot be consistently classified as either pure tabarru' or fully specified ijarah. A two-layer governance model is proposed: an appointment decree that establishes institutional status and a service agreement that clarifies duties, duration, compensation, accountability, complaints, and termination. This model can strengthen preventive legal protection while preserving the community-based character of BKB cadres.
