Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Curriculum provides various opportunities to improve the competence of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) teachers in responding to educational challenges in the era of Society 5.0. However, previous studies generally examined curriculum implementation, pedagogical competence, professional development, and digital literacy separately. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the opportunities offered by the Independent Curriculum in developing the competence of PAUD teachers in the era of Society 5.0. This study uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. Data were collected through documentation techniques from scientific journals, books, research reports, proceedings, and educational policy documents relevant to the topics of the Independent Curriculum, teacher competence, and Society 5.0. Data were analyzed using content analysis through data reduction, data presentation, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study reveal four main opportunities provided by the Independent Curriculum in developing the competence of PAUD teachers: pedagogical, professional, digital, and social competence. This curriculum promotes child-centered and differentiated learning, strengthens teachers' professional capacity through curriculum planning and assessment development, enhances digital literacy and technology integration in learning, and encourages collaboration between teachers, parents, and the community. These findings suggest that the Independent Curriculum serves not only as an education policy reform but also as a strategic framework for strengthening the competencies of early childhood education (PAUD) teachers to meet the demands of Society 5.0. However, these findings are limited to literature-based evidence and require further empirical investigation.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the predominance of conventional teaching methods, which resulted in low student engagement and learning motivation, as well as the lack of integrated digital learning media that support learning needs in the digital era. This study aimed to develop Webador-based learning media for the Basic Office Management and Business Services subject in Grade X Office Management, determine the feasibility of the developed media, and examine its practicality based on students’ responses. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The research subjects consisted of Grade X Office Management students at SMKN 16 Jakarta. Data collection techniques included expert validation sheets and student response questionnaires, which were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the Webador-based learning media obtained a material expert validation score of 95% and a media expert validation score of 91%, both categorized as highly feasible. The practicality test results showed a score of 96% in the small-group trial and 99% in the large-group trial, both categorized as highly practical. Therefore, the Webador-based learning media was declared feasible and practical to be used as an alternative digital learning medium in the Basic Office Management and Business Services subject for Grade X Office Management students.

Abstract

The government carries out its functions within the bureaucracy as a public institution, particularly in public services. The digitalization of public services refers to the application of information and communication technology in the process of providing services to the public. The concept of e-government in Indonesia is embodied in the SPBE policy. The SPBE policy has been implemented in both the central and regional governments. However, empirically, the implementation of SPBE at the regional government level shows a significant disparity. There is a gap between the ambitions in implementation and the capacity of the bureaucracy. This is interesting to study, especially to understand the implementation of digital public services related to the gap between transformation ambitions and the capacity of the regional bureaucracy. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive literature review method. This method was chosen to systematically and critically examine various written sources relevant to the SPBE topic in the context of the gap between transformation ambitions and the capacity of the regional bureaucracy. The results show that the implementation of SPBE shows a significant gap between the ambitions of digital transformation formulated nationally and the actual capacity of the bureaucracy at the regional level.

Abstract

Note-taking is the process of recording information by writing down ideas, explanations, or important points for future reference. For students, note-taking serves as an essential learning strategy that facilitates knowledge retention, comprehension, and the development of academic potential. This study aims to examine the impact of students' note-taking habits during teachers' classroom explanations on student behavior in Madiun City, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through interviews with 45 students, classroom observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using qualitative techniques. Guided by behavioral theory, which emphasizes that environmental stimuli influence individual responses, this study explored how note-taking habits shape students' attitudes and behaviors. The findings indicate that students who consistently take notes demonstrate more positive behaviors, greater preparedness for future challenges, and stronger learning motivation than those with limited note-taking habits. Although digital technology and internet access have transformed learning practices, the study highlights that handwriting remains an important means of fostering critical thinking, preserving personal identity, and maintaining national values. Digital technology should be viewed as a tool for educational advancement, whereas writing continues to serve as a foundation for meaningful learning and character development.

Abstract

Gratitude is a fundamental affective disposition that plays a crucial role in enhancing university students' psychological well-being and resilience amid academic pressures. However, a methodological gap remains in the use of gratitude measurement instruments within the Indonesian context, as many studies continue to rely on adapted Western scales without rigorous cross-validation and depend primarily on traditional reliability testing. This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of a Gratitude Scale adapted based on the dimensions of intensity, frequency, span, and density using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The participants consisted of 151 active university students in Indonesia selected through convenience sampling. Sample adequacy was verified using the inverse square root method. The results indicated that, after removing items with negative outer loadings, the instrument demonstrated satisfactory convergent validity, with an Average Variance Extracted (AVE) exceeding 0.50 and Composite Reliability values above 0.70 across all dimensions. However, discriminant validity assessment using the Heterotrait–Monotrait Ratio (HTMT) criterion revealed that several dimensions exhibited very high correlations (HTMT > 0.90), suggesting that the gratitude construct within this population is holistic in nature and difficult to distinguish empirically across its dimensions. These findings confirm the overall psychometric robustness of the scale while highlighting the need for further theoretical consideration regarding the multidimensional structure of gratitude in collectivist cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of compensation, work environment, and transformational leadership on employee work productivity at PDAM Tirta Khayangan, Sungai Penuh City. This research employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The population consisted of all 30 employees of PDAM Tirta Khayangan, and a saturated sampling technique was applied. Data were collected using closed-ended questionnaires with a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results show that partially, the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee work productivity, while compensation and transformational leadership do not have a significant effect. Simultaneously, compensation, work environment, and transformational leadership do not significantly affect employee work productivity. The coefficient of determination indicates that the independent variables explain 14.9% of the variation in employee productivity, while the remaining variation is influenced by other factors outside the research model.

Abstract

Self-discipline is an essential capability that supports productivity, performance consistency, and individual success in meeting increasingly complex workplace demands. However, instruments specifically developed to measure self-discipline among workers across diverse professions remain limited. This study aimed to conduct an initial validation of a Self-Discipline Instrument for workers by examining its content validity and construct validity. A quantitative approach with an instrument validation design was employed. The participants consisted of 159 workers from various professions, aged 19–46 years, selected using a convenience sampling technique. The initial instrument comprised 20 items developed based on four dimensions: impulse control, delay of gratification, perseverance and consistency of effort, and goal orientation and commitment. Content validity was assessed using Aiken’s V index, while construct validity was examined through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The content validity results indicated that all items achieved Aiken’s V values ranging from 0.50 to 1.00, suggesting that they were suitable for further testing. The initial CFA results revealed that several indicators had outer loading values below 0.50, necessitating model refinement. The final model retained three constructs—delay of gratification, impulse control, and perseverance and consistency of effort—with a total of 11 indicators. Most model fit indices demonstrated satisfactory results (χ²/df = 1.041; RMSEA = 0.016; GFI = 0.954; AGFI = 0.926; SRMR = 0.049; TLI = 0.992; and CFI = 0.994), although the NFI value (0.868) did not meet the recommended threshold. Discriminant validity was established, with all HTMT values below 0.85. However, construct reliability and convergent validity remained suboptimal, as indicated by Cronbach’s Alpha, Composite Reliability, and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values that fell below the recommended standards. These findings suggest that the instrument demonstrates preliminary evidence of content validity, model fit, and discriminant validity, but further refinement of the items and additional testing are required to achieve stronger psychometric properties.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine how information and communication technology (ICT) is used in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) classes at SMAN 1 Galis Pamekasan. This study employed descriptive qualitative techniques, using PAI teachers and students as data sources. After collecting information through observation, interviews, and documentation, the data were reduced, presented, and conclusions drawn. The research findings indicate that teachers can deliver learning materials in a more engaging and understandable manner by utilizing ICT. Students become more engaged and interested in learning PAI as a result of the use of digital media. However, the implementation of ICT-based learning still faced several obstacles, such as unstable internet connections, limited facilities, and the use of digital devices that could distract students’ concentration during learning activities. To overcome these problems, Teachers take a variety of steps to address this, including developing learning media, participating in technology training, integrating Islamic values into digital learning, and supervising the use of technology so that the learning process could remain effective and relevant to current educational needs.

Abstract

Traditionalism and conservatism have a complex relationship within the context of Islamic educational thought in the twenty-first century. Traditionalism provides a foundation for religious values and ethical principles, while conservatism plays an important role in preserving religious identity and heritage. However, both perspectives may also hinder intellectual progress and limit the ability to respond effectively to the challenges of the modern era. Contemporary Islamic educational thought therefore requires a balanced integration of traditionalism and conservatism with modern perspectives and adaptation to the demands of globalization. Such integration can be achieved by promoting educational innovation that addresses the diverse needs of younger generations while remaining open to new ideas. In addition, Islamic education should adopt a flexible approach to understanding and implementing religious teachings, enabling it to adapt to social change and contemporary challenges. At the same time, it should foster critical thinking toward religious teachings and traditions while encouraging constructive engagement with modern thought to provide relevant solutions to emerging issues. This balanced approach is expected to strengthen the relevance and sustainability of Islamic education in the twenty-first century.
