<![CDATA[The phenomenon of online games is increasingly widespread among children, giving rise to various impacts in everyday life. This study aims to analyze the emotional stability of children addicted to playing the collaborative online game Free Fire and its impact on social relationships. This type of online game offers competitive and collaborative elements, allowing children to engage in virtual social interactions. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with five children aged 11-12 years, and documentation studies. The results revealed that most children play games intensively, more than 10 times a week, and tend to spend money on in-game purchases. Playing Free Fire affects children's emotional stability, leading to behaviors such as irritability and frustration when losing, as well as consumptive tendencies. But, their social relationships remain relatively intact, as the game provides a platform for interest-based social interaction. However, for some children, excessive focus on gaming can interfere with interactions with those around them. This study highlights the importance of time management and parental supervision to balance digital entertainment with children's emotional and social development. The findings contribute to the study of online gaming addiction, specifically focusing on gaming.]]>

<![CDATA[The family has an important role as the first madrasah in forming children's Islamic character, educating them to become a generation with noble morals. This article aims to analyze the role and function of the family in shaping the Islamic character of children in Indonesia. This analysis was carried out using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on PRISMA guidelines by analyzing 14 articles indexed by Scopus. The results of the analysis found five main functions of the family in shaping children's Islamic character, namely: i) religious function, which teaches religious values as the basis of life; ii) love and protection function, which provides affection and a sense of security; iii) socio-cultural function, which introduces Islamic norms and culture; iv) educational function, which guides children to learn Islamic values v) socialization function of Islamic values, which instills good manners and morals. These functions significantly support the formation of children's Islamic character in accordance with the goals of national education and the Independent Curriculum, which encourages synergy between formal and non-formal education. This analysis also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between families and educational institutions to strengthen the role of the family. This analysis also recommends the development of family-based education policies to create an Islamic generation with good and noble character.]]>

<![CDATA[Work safety and crew performance are very important focus areas in the high-risk maritime industry, as exemplified by shipping companies. This study aims to analyze the impact of leadership and managerial competence on crew motivation and performance, as well as their influence on work safety. This study uses quantitative methods with a causal design used to examine cause-and-effect relationships among variables, including leadership, managerial competence, work motivation, crew performance, and work safety. Data were collected through a survey using a Likert-scale questionnaire with five response levels. The respondents were crew members working for a shipping company. Additional data collection techniques included field observations and literature review to complement the theoretical insights. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that transformational leadership and managerial competence significantly influence work motivation and crew performance. Moreover, work motivation serves as a mediating variable, strengthening the relationships between leadership and performance, as well as managerial competence and occupational safety. This study emphasizes the crucial role of effective leadership in workplace safety within the maritime industry. Its implications suggest that companies should enhance competency-based training and leadership strategies to optimize crew performance and ensure sustainable workplace safety.]]>

<![CDATA[A child's independence can flourish and develop further when intentional efforts are made to nurture this trait. In many cases, students tend to rely heavily on their teachers for assistance during classroom activities. Efforts to cultivate character aligned with the cultural values of Thailand nation extend beyond the confines of the school setting; they permeate children's daily lives through consistent introduction and habituation practices. Character development is encouraged not only through classroom and extracurricular activities but also through intentional integration into their everyday interactions and routines. This study thus seeks to explore the impact of the Student-Centered Learning (SCL) approach on fostering student independence at Wittaya Panya School, Thailand. Utilizing a qualitative, descriptive research methodology, this study was conducted at Wittaya Panya School in Khlong Chalem, Kong Ra District, Patthalung Province, Thailand. Data sources comprised primary and secondary data, collected through observation, interviews, and literature review. Findings from this study indicate that by employing a Student-Centered Learning approach, teachers can effectively instill and strengthen the independence of students, which can be integrated into their daily learning processes.]]>
