Abstract

This study examined the effect of using Google Earth as an instructional medium on elementary students’ spatial ability in IPAS (Integrated Science and Social Studies) learning focused on spatial concepts. A quantitative quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest design was employed. The sample comprised 52 sixth-grade students: an experimental class from SD Negeri 4 Palu (n=29) and a control class from SD Negeri 20 Palu (n=23). The intervention lasted four sessions using structured exploration activities with Google Earth supported by worksheets, while the control group learned with conventional media (static maps/pictures). Spatial ability was measured using a 35-item test (25 multiple-choice and 10 open-ended items) converted to a 0–100 scale. Data were analyzed descriptively, followed by gain/N-gain computation, an independent-samples t test at α=0.05, and effect size estimation using Cohen’s d. Results indicated a significant difference in improvement between groups (p = 0.000019) with a large effect (Cohen’s d = 1.20). The largest gains were observed in distance–direction–location relations and 2D–3D transformation skills. These findings suggest that Google Earth is an effective interactive visual medium to enhance elementary students’ spatial understanding in IPAS learning

Abstract

In a dynamic global era full of multidimensional challenges, education is required to focus not only on academic aspects, but also to develop the moral, social, and spiritual qualities of students in a balanced manner. Islamic educational psychology offers an integrative framework by combining theories of developmental and learning psychology with the principles of Islamic teachings. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with a literature study (library research). The results of the study show that Islamic educational psychology integrates modern psychological theories such as behaviourism, cognitive, and humanistic with the principles of the Qur'an and Sunnah. The main principles applied include the development of natural potential, tawhid, exemplary behaviour (uswah hasanah), compassion (rahmah), and the process of purification of the soul (tazkiyah al-nafs). Islamic educational psychology provides a comprehensive basis for developing learning that focuses not only on cognition, but also on the balanced formation of character and spirituality.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of price fairness and free shipping on purchasing decisions in the TikTok application. This research uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents who are TikTok Shop users. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results indicate that partially, price fairness has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions. Free shipping also has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, with a greater influence compared to price fairness. Simultaneously, price fairness and free shipping significantly affect purchasing decisions on the TikTok application. The coefficient of determination shows that both variables explain a substantial proportion of the variance in purchasing decisions, while the remaining variance is influenced by other variables outside this study. These findings suggest that fair pricing strategies and free shipping promotions are important factors in increasing consumer purchasing decisions in e-commerce platforms. Therefore, sellers on TikTok Shop are advised to maintain price fairness perceptions and optimize free shipping programs to enhance competitiveness and customer loyalty.

Abstract

This study examines the use of nano influencers on social media to increase public awareness of cultural institution programs in Indonesia. Nano influencers, who have between 500 and 10,000 followers, are considered effective in building audience engagement through a personal and authentic approach. Institutions such as Balai Media Kebudayaan (BMK) which manages the digital platform IndonesianaTV, utilize nano influencers to disseminate cultural information widely but still relevant to certain audiences. The purpose of this study is to explore how collaboration between cultural institutions and nano influencers can increase public awareness and understanding of local culture. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with an inductive approach, where data was collected through interviews and observations of 20 nano influencer accounts that are active in promoting IndonesianaTV. The results of the study show that educational content delivered by nano influencers on social media has succeeded in reaching small but significant communities, as well as building positive public perceptions of local culture. These findings can be a reference for other cultural institutions in utilizing digital communication strategies to get closer to their audiences and increase their interest in Indonesian culture.

Abstract

Organizational commitment refers to employees’ involvement, trust, and loyalty toward the organization, and it plays a key role in employee retention and improving company performance. This study aims to examine the influence of person-job fit—the compatibility between an individual and their job—on organizational commitment among car salespersons. Using a quantitative method with simple regression linear analysis and accidental sampling, data were collected from 140 respondents through the person-job fit scale translated by Astuti and Amir (2023) from Lauver and Kristof-Brown (2001), and the organizational commitment scale by Mowday, Porter, and Steers (1979), adapted by Rahmat, Bakar, and Anwar (2022). The results of simple linear regression show that person-job fit has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment (R² = 0.138; β = 0.371; F = 22.026; p 0.001), indicating that the higher the person-job fit, the stronger the organizational commitment among salespersons. These findings suggest that companies should emphasize the recruitment process to enhance person-job fit, thereby increasing employee loyalty and productivity.

Abstract

Every adult Muslim carries a spiritual responsibility to organize and conduct life according to the principles of Islamic law. In the discipline of Usul Fiqh, Islamic legal foundations are primarily derived from four mutually acknowledged sources: the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma', and Qiyas. The Qur'an and Sunnah function as the principal normative references that contain legal principles, ethical values, and rulings, both explicitly stated and implicitly indicated. However, the development of time and the emergence of new contemporary issues that are not directly addressed in the Qur'an or Hadith require an adaptive legal methodology. In this regard, Ijma' and Qiyas play a crucial methodological role in shaping Islamic legal development. Ijma' refers to the consensus of qualified scholars after the passing of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in determining legal rulings on specific matters, thereby providing collective legitimacy. Meanwhile, Qiyas operates through analogical reasoning by relating new cases to established textual rulings based on shared effective legal causes (‘illat). Through these four foundations, Islamic law remains dynamic, applicable, and capable of addressing societal needs across different periods and contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze public service innovation strategies in realizing smart government and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in their implementation. Digital transformation in government is an urgent need in the information technology era, especially to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of public services. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of government agencies implementing digital-based public service innovations. Data analysis was conducted interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was maintained through triangulation of sources and methods. The results show that public service innovation strategies towards smart government include service digitalization, business process simplification, data integration, strengthening transformational leadership, and increasing human resource capacity. The implementation of innovations has been proven to increase service time efficiency, information transparency, and public participation.
