Abstract

This study explores the role of interpersonal intelligence in mediating the influence of character strength and emotional intelligence on juvenile delinquency. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 250 vocational high school students in Cianjur City through a validated questionnaire and analyzed using the SEM-PLS approach. The results showed that character strength had a negative and significant effect on juvenile delinquency, with a coefficient value of -0.321, indicating that increasing character strength can significantly reduce juvenile delinquency. In addition, emotional intelligence also showed a negative and significant effect on juvenile delinquency. This confirms that increasing emotional intelligence also contributes to reducing juvenile delinquency. Interpersonal intelligence negatively and significantly impacts juvenile delinquency, with a coefficient value of -0.161, indicating that better interpersonal skills can reduce the tendency for delinquent behavior. Furthermore, character strength and emotional intelligence were found to have a positive and significant effect on interpersonal intelligence, with coefficient values ​​of 0.370 and 0.484, respectively. Another important finding is the significant negative indirect effect of character strength and emotional intelligence on juvenile delinquency through interpersonal intelligence. This shows that increasing character strength and emotional intelligence can reduce juvenile delinquency by improving interpersonal intelligence. This study concludes that strengthening students’ character and emotional intelligence and increasing interpersonal intelligence are essential strategies for reducing juvenile delinquency

Abstract

Background: The development of a curriculum alignment management guide for Early Childhood Education (ECE) is essential to support curriculum adaptation in non-formal institutions such as Playgroups (KB) and Kindergartens (TK). In the context of curriculum changes, it is necessary to have a curriculum alignment model accompanied by effective management practices, ensuring that the adaptation process can be implemented systematically and effectively. Research Urgency: Curriculum changes at the ECE level require non-formal educational institutions, particularly KB and TK, to make curriculum adjustments. However, there is a lack of strategic and implementable management guides to support this process, especially for institutions that are unaccredited or minimally accredited. Thus, a valid and practical model guide is urgently needed. Research Objectives: This research aims to develop a curriculum alignment model for ECE equipped with a sound management guide, and to validate its feasibility for use by Heads of KB and TK in adapting the old curriculum to the new one. Research Method: The method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Validation was conducted by two experts in the fields of language and curriculum management content to assess the strategic and implementative feasibility of the guide. Research Findings: The validation results showed a score of 4.4 for the language aspect and 4.0 for the management substance aspect, both categorized as very good. The trial implementation involving Heads of KB and TK in Tayu District, Pati Regency, resulted in an acceptance rate of 80.35%, which also falls into the very good category. Research Conclusion: The developed curriculum alignment model is feasible for use as a guide in aligning the PAUD curriculum. It provides strategic and implementative direction for carrying out curriculum adaptation within non-formal education institutions. Research Novelty/Contribution: This research introduces a new contribution in the form of a curriculum alignment management guide for ECE that is both strategic and implementable. It offers practical support for Heads of KB and TK, especially those with minimal or no accreditation, to manage curriculum changes in a more structured and effective manner.

Abstract

Education continues to evolve with the progress of the times. Based on Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System, education is a conscious and planned effort to create a learning environment that enables students to actively develop their potential. An important aspect of Islamic religious education is the understanding of thaharah (purification), as explained in the Safinatun An-Najah book, a primary reference on the subject. Cleanliness holds a significant value in Islam, serving not only as an act of worship but also as a moral aspect that draws individuals closer to Allah. Meanwhile, the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), launched in 2015, emphasize the importance of inclusive and quality education to achieve sustainable development. In line with the era of Society 5.0, technology is increasingly integrated into human life, including education, through virtual spaces and the development of learning methods based on Virtual Reality (VR). VR enhances learning experiences through immersive, interactive simulations, making it well-suited for Generation Z as the digital generation. This study examines the use of mobile-based VR in teaching thaharah from the perspective of the Safinatun An-Najah book. Mobile VR offers an interactive learning experience that can increase students' motivation in understanding thaharah. In addition to making learning more engaging, VR also helps prepare students to navigate technological advancements, thus playing a crucial role in the innovation of Islamic religious education.

Abstract

Despite the centrality of women education in the development of societies, a huge gender gap still exists in education in northern Nigeria, at the detriment of women and girls. The gender disparity in education is induced by a matrix of forces, ranging from poor and negative parental attitude towards the education of the girl child, to stereotyping of girls in the society, leading to high illiteracy among married women and huge school drop-outs. Inspired by the imperative to address the gender concerns, this study investigated the impact of marital responsibilities on the academic activities of married women in Continuing Education Centres in North-west Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was used. A sample size of 306 married women and 152 women without marital status was selected using systematic and stratified sampling techniques. Two instruments (Marital Induced Academic Challenges Questionnaire (MIACQ) and End of Session Examination Scores and were used for data collection. The data collected were analysed using frequency and percentages and t-test. The findings revealed that the inability of married women to relate easily with other learners, inadequate time to do homework without interruption, poor reading skills, and absenteeism in tutorials are some of the academic challenges facing married women as learners. The study concluded that the challenges that emanated from being married women and learners have led to poor academic performance and stress among married women. The maturity displayed by married women learners in coping with the stress of marital and academic responsibilities must be strengthened particularly in the area of development of plan action by the learners themselves. The study recommended that adult and non-formal education programmes such as regular orientation and counseling for both learners and their teachers should be popularized
