Abstract

This study investigates elementary students’ perceptions of using songs in English language learning, exploring how songs affect vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, listening comprehension, and overall student engagement. The background highlights the growing trend of incorporating music into language instruction, yet there is a gap in understanding how younger students perceive its effectiveness. A quantitative research design with a descriptive approach was employed, utilizing a questionnaire to gather data from 30 Grade 5 students at a private elementary school in Manado. The results indicate that students perceive songs as a highly effective and enjoyable tool for learning English, with a mean score of 4.61, reflecting strong agreement on their impact on vocabulary and pronunciation. However, some students expressed concerns about the long-term retention of vocabulary and the limited contribution of songs to grammar and speaking fluency. The study concludes that while songs enhance motivation and specific language skills, a more integrated approach combining songs with other methods is necessary for comprehensive language acquisition. This research contributes valuable insights into the pedagogical value of music-based instruction in language learning and offers practical recommendations for educators.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the improvement of children’s learning motivation through the implementation of performance task activities in Group B at TK Bunga Bangsa. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved 22 children (11 boys and 11 girls). Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that prior to the intervention, children’s learning motivation was relatively low, with only 9 children (40.9%) demonstrating consistent focus and enthusiasm. After the implementation of various performance tasks—such as reciting short prayers, role-playing with zoo themes, explaining the chicken life cycle, and presenting artwork using banana midrib stamping techniques—children’s motivation increased significantly. A total of 17 children (77.3%) showed higher levels of focus, confidence, and active participation. These results suggest that performance task activities provide meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences that effectively enhance early childhood learning motivation. The study implies that performance tasks can serve as an alternative pedagogical strategy to support more engaging and successful early childhood education.

Abstract

Protected forest management in Indonesia, particularly in Sukabumi Regency, faces various challenges related to policy implementation and inter-agency coordination. This study aims to analyze protected forest management in Sukabumi through the application of good governance principles, with a focus on improving institutional capacity and coordination between stakeholders. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, documentation studies, and field observations. The results indicate that the main obstacles in protected forest management are budget constraints, low inter-agency coordination, and the community's economic dependence on forest resources. Although planning is in place, implementation in the field remains limited. This study concludes that strengthening technical capacity, inter-agency coordination, and more consistent application of good governance principles can increase the effectiveness of protected forest management. The contribution of this research is to provide practical solutions to improve forest governance and enhance the sustainability of protected forest management in Indonesia.

Abstract

Universities pursuing Green University status often face a critical conflict between sustainability mandates and the deep-seated cultural tradition of receiving floral boards (papan bunga), which generates massive, unmanageable waste. This study applies the Design Thinking methodology to resolve this cultural-environmental conflict at a state university in South Tangerang. Through the Empathize and Define stages, the study identified that the root problem lay not in waste management, but in the cultural habit of sending physical tokens. Consequently, the Ideate phase formulated a "Dual-Strategy Approach": a Primary Prototype (Official Appeal for Substitution) to eliminate the waste source, and a Secondary Prototype (Standardized Handling SOP) as a contingency for waste management. Field testing of the Primary Prototype during the Rector's Inauguration achieved a 100% reduction in waste, reducing floral board deliveries from over 300 to zero, substituting 317 tree seedlings and digital greetings. Given this absolute success in prevention, the Secondary Prototype (SOP) was not operationally executed but was validated as a necessary blueprint for future compliance risks. While the intervention effectively eliminated the waste source, the high volume of substituted seedlings introduced a new logistical challenge regarding land allocation. The study concludes that shifting the operational focus from downstream handling to upstream prevention via formal policy nudging is the most effective strategy for achieving genuine zero-waste targets in academic institutions.

Abstract

This study explores the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in character formation, particularly in the context of the Independent Curriculum and integrated Islamic schools. The research highlights the importance of religious activities, such as Tadarus (Quran recitation), in fostering a disciplined, focused classroom atmosphere, while also integrating key character values, such as religiosity, discipline, responsibility, honesty, and noble morality, into the curriculum and teaching practices, by using a qualitative case study approach with observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that while religious practices and value discussions engage students, self-reflection remains moderate, suggesting the need for a more systematic approach to foster deeper personal reflection. The study’s contribution lies in providing a comprehensive framework for managing PAI learning, emphasizing the integration of character education within Islamic schools. Future research should explore the impact of socio-cultural contexts, technology integration, and enhanced self-reflection on character development strategies in PAI education.
