Abstract

Filling the Employee Performance Target (SKP) through the e-Kinerja application is an essential instrument in realizing accountability and improving the performance of civil servants, including in the education sector. This study focuses on the role of the Department of Education and Culture of Pesisir Selatan Regency in supervising the filling of the SKP for school principals through the e-Kinerja application, identifying the obstacles encountered, and examining the efforts made to improve supervision effectiveness. The research approach used is qualitative with a descriptive method. The data were obtained through interviews and document studies. The results show that the Department of Education and Culture has carried out supervisory roles through socialization, technical assistance, coordination with supervisors, and administrative monitoring of SKP filling. However, the effectiveness of supervision is not yet optimal due to limited human resources, low conceptual understanding of school principals regarding performance-based SKP, limited information technology competence, and the suboptimal technical guidelines for filling SKP. Therefore, there is a need for strengthening continuous performance development and evaluation to make the SKP filling through e-Kinerja more effective as a tool for assessment and improving the performance of school principals.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of the Webtoon application as a learning medium and to examine students’ perceptions of its use in reading comprehension skills of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 6 Bengkulu Tengah. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects included one English teacher and eight eleventh-grade students who were selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that the use of the Webtoon application as a reading learning medium has a positive impact on students’ reading comprehension skills. Webtoon can increase students’ interest, motivation, and engagement in the learning process. Visual support in the form of images, character expressions, and storylines helps students understand the reading content, identify main ideas, comprehend new vocabulary, and follow the storyline coherently. In addition, students showed very positive perceptions of the use of Webtoon because the learning activities became more interesting, enjoyable, and less monotonous. However, this study also identified several challenges in using Webtoon as a learning medium. These challenges include limited internet access, which occasionally disrupted students’ ability to access the application; limited storage capacity on students’ devices, which prevented some students from installing the application; and students’ tendency to focus more on visual elements than on the reading text itself. Nevertheless, these challenges did not significantly hinder the learning process, as they could be addressed through clear instructions, continuous guidance, and effective classroom management by the teacher. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Webtoon application is an effective, relevant, and practical learning medium to support students’ reading comprehension skills at the secondary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to develop YouTube-based learning media for Aqidah Akhlak (Islamic Faith and Morality) subjects at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Elementary Islamic Schools) and to assess its feasibility in terms of validity and practicality. The background of this research is based on the still-dominant use of lecture methods and textbooks, which are less effective in attracting students’ interest in learning in the digital age. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects consist of six material experts, two media experts, four Aqidah Akhlak teachers, and thirty third-grade students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The data collection instruments were validity and practicality questionnaires, which were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The results show that the developed YouTube media has an overall validity score of 2.75, categorized as Valid Without Revision (VTR). Additionally, the practicality test results indicate that the media is categorized as Very Practical, with a percentage of 94% from teachers and 95% from students. These findings indicate that the YouTube media is feasible and easy to use for teaching Aqidah Akhlak. This study contributes to the development of innovative digital learning media and supports the transformation of more interactive and contextual Islamic Education learning at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of efficiency policies and budget cuts on the management of the treasurer’s inventory money at the Directorate General of Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The implementation of government efficiency measures and fiscal tightening has raised concerns regarding the flexibility and effectiveness of inventory money in supporting daily operational activities. The purpose of this research is to analyze how efficiency and budget reduction policies affect planning, utilization, control, and accountability of the treasurer’s inventory money. This study employs a qualitative research method using in-depth interviews with relevant officials, analysis of financial and administrative documents, and direct observation to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The results show that efficiency policies and budget cuts lead to reduced flexibility in fund utilization, increased administrative burden for treasurers, and the need for adjustments in financial management practices. Although these policies strengthen financial discipline and accountability, they also create challenges in responding to urgent operational needs and maintaining service performance. The study concludes that effective management of treasurer’s inventory money under efficiency and budget cut policies requires adaptive strategies, improved coordination, and clear regulatory guidance to ensure public service delivery remains effective while upholding principles of transparency and accountability.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of implementing the Wattpad application as an English learning medium for reading comprehension among students at SMA Negeri 6 Bengkulu Tengah, to analyze students’ perceptions of the use of Wattpad as a learning medium for reading comprehension, and to identify and analyze English teachers’ perceptions regarding the challenges and opportunities during the implementation of Wattpad in reading comprehension instruction. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation involving one English teacher and eight eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The results indicate that Wattpad is used as a learning medium that supports reading activities through the selection of reading texts tailored to students’ proficiency levels and interests, followed by discussion activities and reading comprehension tasks. Students showed positive perceptions toward the use of Wattpad because the reading texts were considered more engaging, contextual, and easier to understand compared to those found in textbooks, thereby enhancing students’ engagement and motivation in reading. From the teachers’ perspective, the use of Wattpad provides more opportunities than challenges, particularly in supporting digital literacy and helping students comprehend reading texts in a more natural way through various instructional activities such as identifying main ideas, discussing vocabulary and moral values, and creating summaries. Nevertheless, several challenges were identified during the implementation, including limited internet access, differences in students’ language proficiency levels, and the need for careful selection of reading materials. Overall, with appropriate teacher guidance and suitable selection of reading materials, the Wattpad application can be used as a relevant learning medium to support English reading comprehension skills at the secondary school level.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of gamified vocabulary learning using Kahoot and Quizizz on EFL university students’ engagement and vocabulary retention. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory and cognitive learning theories, the study employed a quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test non-equivalent group design involving 293 non-English-major students enrolled in general English courses at an Indonesian public university. The experimental group received vocabulary instruction through Kahoot and Quizizz, while the control group was taught using conventional vocabulary exercises. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered at three stages (pre-test, post-test, and delayed post-test), an engagement questionnaire measuring behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using t-tests, one-way ANOVA, repeated-measures ANOVA, and Pearson correlation, while qualitative data were thematically analysed to support interpretation. The findings revealed that students exposed to gamified instruction achieved significantly higher vocabulary gains and demonstrated stronger long-term retention than those in the control group. The experimental group also reported significantly higher levels of engagement across all dimensions. A strong positive correlation was found between engagement and vocabulary retention, indicating that engagement played a mediating role in learning outcomes. The study concludes that pedagogically designed gamified vocabulary learning enhances both engagement and sustainable vocabulary retention in EFL higher education contexts.

Abstract

Modern society in the information age presents a great deal of complexity. Such a situation triggers individual adaptation to a very complex society that is increasingly open to the bonds of applicable norms. The impact is that individuals develop behavior patterns that deviate from general norms, by doing as they please for their own benefit and personal interests (individualism), which then interferes with and harms themselves and others. The peer counseling training activity is carried out using methods such as: self-reflection, group discussions, and games. The results of this research indicate that peer counseling training activities for SMAK Cint Carolus students as Young People were conducted over four days, specifically on November 15, 22, 29, and December 6, 2025.  The students of SMAK Cint Carolus as Young People come from 3 (three) classes. The number of students from SMAK Cint Carolus participating in this training is 20, consisting of 5 from Class X, 10 from Class XI, and 5 from Class XII.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy, work ethic, and work discipline on the performance of daily contract employees at the Secretariat of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Kerinci Regency. The main issue identified is the mismatch between compensation and workload, which has the potential to reduce employee motivation and productivity. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method, involving 20 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that self-efficacy, work ethic, and work discipline significantly affect employee performance, both simultaneously and partially. Self-efficacy has the most dominant influence compared to the other variables, with a regression coefficient of 0.45. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.68 indicates that 68% of the variation in employee performance can be explained by the three independent variables. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the organization improve self-efficacy through training, strengthen a positive work culture, and establish a fairer compensation system.

Abstract

This study discusses the use of animated video media in tooth-brushing instruction for students with mild intellectual disabilities at the Al- Azra'iyah Koto Baru Simalanggang Special Needs School. The purpose of this study was to improve the tooth-brushing skills of students with mild intellectual disabilities. The main objective of this study is that students with mild intellectual disabilities are not yet able to understand the steps for brushing their teeth properly, correctly, and sequentially. This study used a classroom action research method because it aimed to improve outcomes and systematically refine the learning process through designed actions. This study was conducted in two cycles, including planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. After the actions were administered in cycle I, results showed a slight increase in the tooth-brushing skills of students with mild intellectual disabilities, but these actions did not produce the expected results. After reflecting on cycle I, the study continued to cycle II. Only after the actions were administered in cycle II did the expected results be achieved.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the effectiveness of four bankruptcy prediction models Altman Z-Score, Grover, Springate, and Zmijewski in detecting financial distress within companies for the 2021–2025 period. Employing a scoping review method, this research examines relevant scientific articles published during this timeframe to map which model maintains the most consistent accuracy amidst post-pandemic economic dynamics. The literature analysis indicates that the Altman Z-Score model tends to exhibit the highest precision due to its comprehensive variables, which encompass aspects ranging from liquidity to accumulated profitability. Meanwhile, the Springate and Grover models demonstrate robust performance in assessing operational efficiency, although the Grover model frequently yields more optimistic results. On the other hand, the Zmijewski model was found to have a lower accuracy rate due to its narrow focus on leverage ratios. This study concludes that selecting the appropriate prediction model is crucial for investors and management in implementing early financial risk mitigation. This research recommends the integration of these models tailored to specific industry characteristics to achieve more accurate and credible detection results.
