Abstract

Mathematics learning at the elementary level requires instructional approaches that promote conceptual understanding, active participation, and problem-solving abilities. However, students may experience difficulties understanding two-dimensional shapes when learning activities rely primarily on teacher explanations and individual exercises. This study aims to examine the implementation of the collaborative-based Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model in improving mathematics learning outcomes and strengthening student collaboration in learning two-dimensional shapes. The study employs a convergent mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from learning outcome tests and questionnaires with qualitative data obtained through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings highlight the role of heterogeneous group formation, peer discussions, idea exchange, shared problem-solving, and individual assessments in supporting students' mathematical learning experiences. The implementation also provides opportunities to develop communication, teamwork, and individual responsibility. The study emphasizes that integrating collaborative engagement with individual accountability is important for creating meaningful mathematics instruction. The implications suggest that teachers should organize structured cooperative learning activities that balance peer interaction and individual assessment to support conceptual understanding and improve the quality of elementary mathematics education.

Abstract

Educational services are intangible, making it difficult for prospective students and parents to assess their quality before experiencing them. This challenge highlights the importance of experiential marketing as an approach to communicating educational service value and creating meaningful experiences for prospective students. This study aims to analyze the implementation of experiential marketing through the “A Day as an MA Student” program based on Schmitt’s (1999) five experiential modules: sense, feel, think, act, and relate. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that the act dimension was the most clearly documented, while think was partially documented. The sense and relate dimensions were identified implicitly, whereas the feel dimension lacked supporting evidence. Furthermore, most prospective students obtained information about the madrasah through family members, neighbors, and alumni rather than social media. This study implies that experiential marketing should be developed as part of a sustainable educational marketing management strategy, with systematic planning, implementation, measurement, and evaluation across all five experiential dimensions. Such an approach can help educational institutions communicate their service value more effectively and strengthen prospective students’ engagement.

Abstract

Employee performance is an important factor in achieving organizational goals and is influenced by various individual and workplace factors. Work-life balance and motivation are considered essential aspects that may contribute to employees' ability to perform effectively, particularly among employees with an interest in K-pop. This study aims to examine the effects of work-life balance and motivation on employee performance, both partially and simultaneously, and to identify the variable with the stronger influence. This study employed a quantitative approach using an online questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. A total of 103 respondents were selected through purposive sampling from an initial population of 113, after excluding eight respondents who did not meet the research criteria and two outliers. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results indicate that work-life balance (B = 0.309; p < 0.001) and motivation (B = 0.412; p < 0.001) have significant positive effects on employee performance. Simultaneously, both variables explain 47% of the variance in employee performance (R² = 0.470). Motivation demonstrates a stronger influence (β = 0.461) than work-life balance (β = 0.328). These findings suggest that organizations should promote work-life balance and strengthen employee motivation to improve performance. Future research may examine additional factors associated with employee performance.

Abstract

The availability of adequate educational facilities and infrastructure plays an essential role in supporting effective teaching and learning processes, particularly in Vocational High Schools (VHS), where practical learning requires appropriate equipment and learning resources. However, limited facilities and infrastructure may hinder the implementation of diverse and optimal learning activities. This study aims to analyze the limitations of educational facilities and infrastructure in supporting the learning process at the vocational high school level. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through direct observation and interviews with two informants, namely a supervising teacher and a subject teacher responsible for Communication and Network Technology and Fundamentals of Computer and Network Engineering. The findings reveal several limitations, including the absence of a computer laboratory, restricted access to laptops and projectors, and insufficient learning resources. These conditions reduce learning variations and require teachers to adapt their instructional strategies. To address these challenges, teachers utilize students' personal laptops, YouTube as an alternative learning resource, and gradual facility procurement based on priority needs and available budgets. This study implies that adequate planning, provision, and management of educational facilities and infrastructure are essential to improving the quality and effectiveness of vocational learning.

Abstract

The sustainability of Islamic educational institutions depends on financing systems capable of balancing institutional autonomy, financial stability, and long-term development. However, existing financing sources, including government assistance, community participation, waqf, and Islamic social finance, have not been optimally integrated to support institutional sustainability. This study aims to analyse financing policies and institutional self-reliance in Islamic educational institutions and formulate an integrated policy model to strengthen their financial sustainability amid institutional transformation. This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical policy approach. Data were collected through document analysis of institutional regulations, budget documents, institutional statistics, programme documents, and relevant scholarly literature, supplemented by an illustrative case of a pesantren-based cooperative. The data were analysed using content analysis and thematic synthesis, supported by source triangulation. The findings propose a three-layer financing model comprising certainty, sustainability, and development, integrating government assistance, community participation, educational waqf, Islamic social finance, and institutional enterprises. The study recommends establishing dedicated endowment budget nomenclature, integrating digital philanthropic platforms, strengthening financial governance literacy, and replicating alumni-based enterprise models to enhance institutional autonomy and long-term sustainability.

Abstract

The development of students’ religious character has become increasingly challenging in the digital era, as digital media influences students’ attitudes, behaviours, and religious practices. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) therefore plays an essential role in fostering religious values through meaningful and sustainable educational practices. This study aims to examine the strategies employed by PAI teachers to develop students’ religious character and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in their implementation. A qualitative descriptive case study approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation. The data were analysed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source and method triangulation were used to strengthen data credibility. The findings indicate that PAI teachers develop students’ religious character through positive habituation, role modelling, religious activities, and the integration of Islamic values into classroom learning and school culture. These strategies contribute to students’ religious obedience, tolerance, and harmonious social relationships. However, inconsistent religious practices outside school and the influence of digital media remain significant challenges. The study implies that religious character education requires more contextual and creative teaching strategies, responsible digital media use, consistent teacher role modelling, and collaboration among schools, families, and communities.
