Abstract

This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences among the 2006 School-Based Curriculum (KTSP), the 2013 Curriculum, the Merdeka Curriculum, and the 2025 Curriculum (Deep Learning) by examining their characteristics, objectives, learning competencies, assessment systems, and the roles of teachers and students. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a literature review method. Data were collected from books, scientific journal articles, government regulations, and other relevant academic sources. The collected data were analyzed through comparative content analysis to identify the development, continuity, and transformation of curriculum policies in Indonesia. The findings indicate that each curriculum reflects different educational priorities and approaches. The KTSP (2006) emphasizes school autonomy in curriculum development, while the 2013 Curriculum focuses on character education and scientific learning. The Merdeka Curriculum provides greater flexibility through differentiated learning and competency-based education. Meanwhile, the 2025 Curriculum (Deep Learning) strengthens meaningful learning experiences by integrating critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, digital literacy, and technology-assisted instruction. These curriculum transformations demonstrate Indonesia's continuous efforts to improve educational quality in response to changing societal and technological demands. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and curriculum developers in designing more adaptive and sustainable curriculum policies. The study also highlights the importance of comprehensive teacher training and effective policy dissemination to ensure successful curriculum implementation.

Abstract

Islamic educational institutions play a strategic role in promoting multicultural educational values, particularly in modern Islamic boarding schools. This article analyzes the model of multicultural Islamic education at the Al-Muhibbin 4 Bahasa Modern Islamic Boarding School in Jatirogo, Tuban, with a primary focus on the integration of Islamic values and cultural arts. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of learning practices, dormitory life, language immersion, and the pesantren’s arts and cultural activities. Data analysis was conducted through data condensation, data presentation, and the derivation and verification of conclusions. The results of the study indicate that multicultural education at the pesantren is not only taught through tolerance-based curriculum but is also shaped by an educational ecosystem that encompasses classrooms, mosques, dormitories, student organizations, four-language instruction, wayang performances, karawitan, religious music, cultural parades, and drama. The main finding of this article is the Textual-Cultural Integration model, an educational model that connects the Qur’an, hadith, ethics, fiqh, and Islamic scholarly traditions with cultural realities through integrative pedagogy. The novelty of this article lies in the expansion of the Integrated Twin Towers paradigm from the relationship between religious and general knowledge to the relationship between Islamic texts and cultural contexts. This model contributes to the development of modern Islamic boarding schools that are religious, moderate, creative, and culturally aware.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of instructional video usage on learning outcomes in creative evening-style bun hairstyling practice among Grade XI Beauty Cosmetology students at SMK Negeri 3 Tangerang. Instructional videos are implemented as a learning medium to support students’ understanding of procedural steps in practical competencies that require high psychomotor skills. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model. The sample consisted of 29 valid students selected through purposive sampling from a population of 31 students. Data were collected using cognitive tests (pretest and posttest) and psychomotor performance assessments based on structured rubrics covering preparation, technique, cleanliness, time accuracy, and final result. The cognitive data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, followed by effect size analysis. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p = 0.315), with a small effect size (r = 0.186), indicating that the video functioned mainly as a reinforcing medium for theoretical understanding. However, psychomotor assessment results demonstrated a high level of student achievement, with a mean score of 89.14 and 100% of students achieving competency above the minimum mastery criteria (KKM ≥ 80). The findings indicate that instructional video usage is highly effective in improving students’ practical skills in hairstyling practice, although its impact on cognitive improvement is limited due to already high baseline knowledge levels. This study highlights the importance of integrating video-based learning to enhance vocational skill mastery in Beauty Cosmetology education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of the muhadharah program in developing students' da'wah skills at MTs Al-Ittihadiyah Bromo The focus of the study includes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the muhadharah program in developing students' da'wah skills. The method used in this study is qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the muhadharah program is effective in developing students' da'wah skills. The da'wah skills in question include the courage to appear in public, proficiency in delivering da'wah in three languages, fluency in reading the holy verses of the Qur'an, and being accustomed to being a prayer reader. Although there are obstacles such as inadequate available facilities and infrastructure, low levels of student participation that tend to be dominated by the same person, and lack of teacher creativity in the coaching process. Therefore, continuous improvement efforts are needed so that the muhadharah program is implemented optimally in developing students' da'wah skills.
