<![CDATA[Children aged 5-6 years tend to have a short attention span, so special strategies are needed to build their learning readiness from the beginning of classroom activities. This study aims to determine the application of ice-breaking activities for learning preparation for children aged 5-6 years at KB/RA Muslimat NU Darussalam Alastuwo. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The subjects of the study were 20 children of Kindergarten B and 2 teachers. The results show that activities such as clapping games, interactive songs, and rhythmic movements are used to prepare children for learning before learning begins. However, the variation of activities is still limited, so it is necessary to develop more creative strategies. The recommendation of this study is that teachers can integrate ice-breaking activities inclusively and diversely in the daily curriculum.]]>

<![CDATA[Lecturers' social competence is essential in fostering a harmonious academic environment, particularly in religious universities where moral, spiritual, and cultural values intersect. This study investigates how social competence measured through communication, empathy, conflict management, and collaboration affects campus harmony. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through a survey of 150 lecturers and students and in-depth interviews with 15 lecturers. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that social competence significantly predicts campus harmony. Communication and empathy emerged as the most influential dimensions, followed by collaboration and conflict management. Classical assumption tests confirmed the validity of the model. Thematic analysis of qualitative data reinforced these findings, highlighting that informal dialogue, emotional sensitivity, and cooperative engagement are central to building inclusive and respectful campus communities. The integration of both data types through triangulation validated the multidimensional impact of social competence. This study concludes that social competence must be institutionalized through structured training and policy reforms in religious universities to improve educational climate and interpersonal relations. Findings contribute to the discourse on relational pedagogy, emphasizing that social competence is not peripheral but central to holistic education.]]>

<![CDATA[Lecturers' social competence is one of the most crucial aspects in efforts to improve the quality of education in higher education, especially in the environment of Religious Higher Education, where in addition to being required to have superior and in- depth academic abilities, lecturers must also be able to develop adequate social competence in order to establish effective and harmonious interactions with students, fellow colleagues, and the wider community; in this article, various challenges faced by lecturers in Religious Higher Education in the process of developing social competence are discussed in depth, as well as solutions that can be applied to overcome the obstacles that arise in order to improve the quality of their social competence; this study uses a qualitative approach that allows detailed identification of internal and external factors that influence the development of lecturers' social competence, while providing practical recommendations that are expected to be a reference in supporting the development of sustainable social competence in religious higher education. The results of this study indicate that the development of social competence of lecturers in religious universities faces various significant challenges such as the lack of specific training in social skills, differences in values and cultures that affect interactions between lecturers and students and colleagues, and high academic loads that limit the time and energy of lecturers to develop social aspects. Therefore, strategic solutions that need to be implemented include organizing training and workshops that focus on developing communication skills, conflict management, and leadership.]]>

<![CDATA[The Liturgy of the Word serves to strengthen faith, shape congregational identity, and transform congregational life. Meanwhile, preaching, as part of the Liturgy of the Word, has a sacramental dimension and functions to renew the Word of God in the context of people's lives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the competence of church administrators in delivering the Liturgy of the Word and sermons, explore contextual challenges in its implementation in the midst of congregations without priests, and formulate strategies for empowering liturgy and homilies based on local culture as a relevant and sustainable pastoral solution. The approach used in this research is participatory action research. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that in St. Damian Parish, Lau Baleng, there is a competency gap among church administrators in the understanding and animation of the Liturgy of the Word as well as preaching skills. The quality of service, including the abilities to inculturate the liturgy in Karo culture, requires structured training. A pastoral approach in liturgy is key to creating meaningful experiences for the people, especially in a multicultural context.]]>

<![CDATA[Students’ environmental awareness remains relatively low, whereas Pancasila Education holds the potential to integrate environmental care values into learning. This study aimed to analyze the needs for animated video learning media based on environmentally conscious characters in Pancasila Education. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining quantitative and qualitative data through observations, interviews, and questionnaires with eighth-grade students and teachers. The analysis focused on pedagogical, technical, cognitive, aesthetic, and evaluative aspects to identify the requirements for effective media development. The findings revealed a strong demand for innovative media that integrates environmental values. Students expressed high interest in learning through animated visual content, which they perceived as engaging and easier to understand. Teachers highlighted the relevance of such media to support character education and facilitate abstract Pancasila concepts. The needs analysis thus provides a comprehensive foundation for designing and developing animated video learning media in subsequent research stages. In conclusion, this study indicates the necessity of animated video media that embodies environmental care values in Pancasila Education. The results serve as an essential initial step for future research in developing valid, practical, and effective instructional media.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the influence of digital competence on the performance of Aparatur Sipil Negara or ASN or civil servants within educational institutions in Siak Regency, Indonesia. Amidst growing demands for digital transformation in public service, technical skills alone are often insufficient without the support of relational competencies such as communication. Grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this research examines how interpersonal communication mediates the relationship between digital competence and ASN performance. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, involving 50 ASN respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires adapted from validated instruments, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that digital competence has a significant direct effect on ASN performance, while also indirectly enhancing performance through improved interpersonal communication. The mediating role of communication was confirmed as statistically significant, suggesting that digital competence promotes relational fluency, which in turn facilitates better task execution and coordination. These findings offer both theoretical and practical insights, particularly in the context of local public institutions in developing regions. Theoretically, the study expands the TAM framework by incorporating human interaction factors. Practically, it recommends that digital training for ASN should include not only technical modules but also communication skills development. This study concludes that sustainable digital transformation in the public sector requires simultaneous investment in both technology and people—particularly in building communicative capacity as the foundation of effective governance.]]>

<![CDATA[Tembang writers typically employ words that are not literal but rather words have figurative meanings. One of those is metaphor. This study aims to analyze metaphors in Nyidham Sari songs and reveal their role in conveying cultural values and moral messages in language learning, as well as understand how traditional Javanese songs can serve as an educational tool to transmit knowledge and cultural values to contemporary learners. The data of the research are metaphors within the Nyidham Sari tembang. To analyse the data the researcher identified metaphors to understand the metaphor meaning and the function in the context of the tembang. This study employs the basic theory of the Conceptual Metaphor by Lakoff and Johnson. This study shows that Nyidham Sari tembang uses natural metaphors, journey metaphors, and cultural value metaphors to describe abstract concepts and convey deep messages. The research results indicate that metaphors in Nyidham Sari tembang play an important role in conveying cultural values and moral messages. The result of this study also has implication on language teaching, namely, teaching metaphor, interpretation skill development, teaching material, and critical thinking development. Finally, this study is expected to inspire other researchers who interest to explore metaphors in different cultural. ]]>

<![CDATA[Self-confidence is a crucial psychological attribute that shapes students’ academic performance, social interactions, and personal development. Factors such as life experience, self-evaluation, and beauty privilege play a significant role in influencing how college students in Yogyakarta perceive and express their confidence. This study aims to determine the effect of life experience, self-evaluation, and beauty privilege on the self-confidence of female college students in Yogyakarta. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The sample consisted of 300 female students from several universities in Yogyakarta who were selected by purposive sampling technique. The instrument used is a scale that has been validated and tested for reliability. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the three independent variables of life experience, self-evaluation, and beauty privilege simultaneously had a significant effect on the self-confidence of female students. Partially, self-evaluation contributes the most, followed by life experience, while beauty privilege has a smaller but still significant influence. The findings suggest that self-confidence is not only determined by internal factors such as self-evaluation, but also by life experiences and perceptions of physical attractiveness. This research contributes to the development of strategies to increase the confidence of female college students through psychological and social approaches.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership, workload, and work environment on job satisfaction among healthcare workers at the Cibiru District Community Health Center in Bandung and examine their relevance to education and competency development. The research method used was quantitative descriptive research with a population of all employees at the Cibiru District Community Health Center in Bandung, totaling 74 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicate that leadership has a positive and significant influence on employee work performance. The work environment also has a positive and significant influence on employee performance. However, workload does not show a significant influence on job satisfaction, although the direction of the relationship is negative. Simultaneously, the variables Leadership, Workload, and Work Environment significantly influence employee job satisfaction, with 44% of the variation in work levels explained by this model. These findings confirm that formal education, leadership training, and a healthcare curriculum that integrates managerial and leadership aspects are important foundations in improving healthcare worker satisfaction and performance. This study implies the need to strengthen the educational dimensions and healthcare curriculum to develop effective leaders, create a supportive work environment, and encourage improved service quality in healthcare centers.]]>
