Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Ummi Method in improving the Quranic reading skills of early childhood students at TKS Al Azhar Pagendingan, Galis, Pamekasan. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of the school principal, six classroom teachers, six parents, and 24 students from the TK A and TK B groups. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, utilizing source and technique triangulation to ensure data validity. The results indicate that the Ummi Method effectively improves children's Quranic reading skills in a gradual manner, encompassing the ability to recognize Arabic letters (hijaiyah), articulate letter sounds correctly (makhraj), and read according to vowel markers (harakat), while also enhancing reading fluency, self-confidence, and learning motivation. This effectiveness is supported by teacher competence, structured instruction, a religious school environment, the use of appropriate learning media, and collaboration between the school and parents. The study confirms that the Ummi Method not only enhances technical Quranic reading skills but also fosters a love for the Quran in children through systematic, enjoyable instruction that aligns with the developmental characteristics of early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the communication practices of the Military District Command (Kodim) in fostering urban communities, communication strategies in conveying social security messages, the role of public communication by territorial officials in managing local issues, and efforts to build synergy between territorial officials and Medan residents in implementing urban community development policies. The study used a qualitative approach with library research methods and a case study of Medan City. Data were obtained from scientific journals, books, policy documents, institutional reports, and various publications relevant to public communication, TNI social communication, social security, and urban community development. Data analysis was conducted through content analysis and thematic analysis to identify key themes related to the research focus. The results show that the communication practices of the Military District Command (Kodim) in fostering urban communities are carried out through social communication, community dialogue, outreach, interpersonal communication with Babinsa (village supervisory officers), and the use of digital media. The social security communication strategy is implemented through persuasive, educational, participatory, and dialogical approaches aimed at increasing public awareness of various social threats. Public communication by territorial officials also plays a role in early detection of potential conflicts, managing information, clarifying local issues, and building coordination with various stakeholders. Synergy between territorial officials and residents is built through inclusive, transparent, and trust-based communication, thereby strengthening community participation and urban social resilience. The synthesis of studies yielded a collaborative public communication model encompassing social development, social security education, local issue management, and community partnership building.

Abstract

The urgency of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI) as a legislative body in the Indonesian constitutional system. Using a normative juridical approach and literature study, this study shows that the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia is not just a formal representative institution, but a fundamental pillar in realizing constitutional democracy, people's sovereignty, and good governance. Through the functions of legislation, budget, and supervision, the House of Representatives plays a strategic role in maintaining the balance of power, ensuring government accountability, and translating people's aspirations into public policy. Contemporary challenges such as the degradation of public trust, the politicization of laws and regulations, and the dynamics of representation emphasize the need to strengthen the integrity, transparency, and institutional capacity of the House of Representatives. In conclusion, the existence of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia is urgent and inseparable from the survival of the nation and state that is democratic, constitutional, and just.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of discipline among children from an early age, the role of teachers in instilling discipline, and the impact on children's social development at TK Plus Usman Al-Farsy, Pademawu, Pamekasan. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. Research informants included the school principal, teachers, and students' parents. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The results indicate that discipline is instilled through habitual practices integrated into all school activities—such as arriving on time, lining up, praying, performing congregational Dluha prayers, queuing, maintaining cleanliness, and tidying up learning materials. Teachers act as role models, guides, motivators, and supervisors, supported by intensive communication with parents. Consistent application of discipline has a positive impact on children's social development, evidenced by increased responsibility, independence, cooperation skills, adherence to rules, empathy, and improved social interaction. These findings confirm that cultivating discipline from an early age serves as an effective strategy for holistically supporting children's social development.

Abstract

This study examines the role of music as a trigger for interaction in the communication dynamics between broadcasters and teenage listeners of Pro 2 RRI Surabaya. The study is significant because, amid the rapid growth of digital media, radio continues to maintain audience engagement through a combination of music and participatory interaction. The objective of this research is to understand how music stimulates interaction and how communication dynamics are formed between broadcasters and teenage listeners. This study employs an ethnography of communication approach based on Dell Hymes’ theory to analyze communication events occurring within the context of radio broadcasting. A qualitative research method was used, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving broadcasters and listeners of Pro 2 RRI Surabaya. The findings reveal that music functions not only as entertainment but also as a communication medium that encourages listeners to participate through song requests, comments, and interactions across various digital platforms. The communication dynamics identified in this study are characterized by two-way, interactive, and participatory communication conducted through radio broadcasts as well as social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok. The study concludes that music serves as a primary trigger for interaction while strengthening social relationships and emotional closeness between broadcasters and teenage listeners.

Abstract

The quality of education at Al-Qur’an-based educational institutions is influenced by various factors, including teaching methods and the quality of human resources; therefore, efforts are needed to identify the relationship between these two factors in supporting the improvement of educational quality. This study aims to analyze the relationship between teaching methods and human resources—both partially and simultaneously—on the quality of education at the Ashabul Qur’an (AQUR) School in Payakumbuh. The study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational method. All 52 active teachers were selected as the sample through total sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire that met validity and reliability requirements, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, linearity tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results indicate that teaching methods are positively and significantly correlated with educational quality (β = 0.583; p = 0.005), as are human resources (β = 0.727; p = 0.002). Simultaneously, both variables are positively and significantly associated with the quality of education (F = 22.388; p < 0.001) with a coefficient of determination of 47.7%. These findings indicate that improving the quality of education requires strengthening teachers’ competencies as well as implementing effective teaching methods as key strategies for enhancing the quality of the learning process and outcomes in Qur’an-based educational institutions.

Abstract

This article discusses the diplomacy of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH as a model of political communication, conflict resolution, and the development of civilization of the people. This study is important because prophetic diplomacy is often understood only as a historical event, even though it contains principles of negotiation, conflict control, respect for treaties, and peace preaching strategies that are relevant to contemporary society. The purpose of this research is to explain the pattern of diplomacy of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH in the pre-prophetic phase, the da'wah phase of Makkah, and the state phase of Medina. The research uses a qualitative method based on literature studies with a historical-normative approach. The main data are taken from the Qur'an, hadiths, the book of sirah, and modern academic literature on diplomacy, the charter of Medina, and the Treaty of Hudaibiyah. The results of the study show that the Prophet's diplomacy is built on the principles of trust, patience to listen, deliberation, respect for the interlocutor, commitment to agreements, and long-term benefit orientation. The event of the laying of Hajar Aswad, the dialogue with Quraish figures, the Charter of Medina, and the Hudaibiyah Agreement show his capacity as a spiritual leader as well as a statesman. This article concludes that prophetic diplomacy is a model of public communication ethics and conflict resolution that is able to transform tribal communities into civilized people.
