Abstract

This descriptive qualitative research explores the social interactions and underlying factors contributing to child marriage in Rajek Dusun, Berang Village, Simpang Teritip District. Child marriage, defined as marriage involving individuals under 16 for women and 19 for men, remains prevalent despite legal prohibitions. The study employs interviews and observations to gather data from individuals, objects, and entities that provide relevant information. Findings indicate that socio-economic pressures, cultural customs, and lack of awareness about legal and health implications drive child marriage. The research highlights the adverse outcomes of early marriage, particularly for young women who face increased risks to their reproductive and mental health. Community perspectives reveal that traditional norms often override legal measures, perpetuating the practice. The study underscores the need for comprehensive community education programs focusing on early marriage's legal, health, and social implications. Collaborative efforts between local government and community leaders are essential to raise awareness and support young individuals in their transition to adulthood. By prioritizing education, health services, and vocational training, the community can work towards reducing the incidence of child marriage and promoting healthier, more prosperous futures for its members.

Abstract

This study utilized a descriptive survey design to examine the perception of teachers on the impact of COVID-19 on academic achievement among post-primary school students in Southeast Nigeria. Data were collected via a structured online questionnaire targeting teachers, comprising demographic details and thirty Likert-scale statements. The survey, distributed through social media, garnered 124 voluntary responses from July 3rd to July 20th, 2024. Initial data processing was done in Microsoft Excel, followed by detailed analysis in SPSS. Descriptive statistics and normality tests were conducted, and the Kruskal-Wallis and Jonckheere-Terpstra tests were used to compare group medians and test hypotheses. Ethical considerations ensured confidentiality and informed consent. Findings indicate that the shift to remote learning during the pandemic exacerbated existing disparities in access to technology, internet connectivity, and educational resources, particularly in rural areas. Lack of electricity and inadequate teacher training in digital pedagogy further hindered online instruction effectiveness. Students faced significant challenges with online learning platforms, home distractions, and decreased motivation due to isolation from the school environment. Language barriers and limited parental support also contributed to these challenges. However, the pandemic prompted innovations in educational delivery methods, highlighting the need for robust infrastructure and comprehensive training to support remote learning. The study underscores the importance of addressing these disparities and enhancing digital literacy to improve academic outcomes and resilience against future disruptions. Recommendations include continued investment in educational technology and support systems to bridge the gap between pre- and post-pandemic academic environments.

Abstract

Fiscal policy is a fundamental tool for achieving macroeconomic goals such as economic stability, growth, and income equality. This study explores the concept and philosophy of fiscal policy, emphasizing its role in both modern and historical contexts, including its implementation during the Prophet Muhammad’s era. Employing a qualitative methodology with a literature review approach, the research analyzes fiscal policy instruments, including taxes, subsidies, debt, and state budget expenditures, particularly within the Indonesian context. Findings reveal that fiscal policy reflects Keynesian principles, emphasizing government intervention to address market inefficiencies, stabilize the economy, and promote equitable growth. Historical analysis highlights the philosophical alignment of fiscal policies during the Prophet Muhammad’s time with modern practices, focusing on justice, equality, and sustainability through instruments like zakat, kharaj, and wakaf. The study underscores the effectiveness of fiscal policy during crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, in mitigating severe economic impacts and fostering long-term development. To optimize fiscal policy, this research suggest that governments should enhance transparency, accountability, and technological integration to improve resource management and efficiency. Additionally, adopting principles of equity and sustainability from historical Islamic fiscal policies and fostering collaboration among stakeholders can address contemporary economic challenges while upholding philosophical foundations.

Abstract

This study explores the management methods of the Independent Curriculum (Merdeka Curriculum) for children with special needs (CSN) in Indonesia, emphasizing its flexibility and individualized learning approach. The research aims to evaluate the curriculum's effectiveness in supporting CSN's holistic development while addressing key challenges such as limited resources, teacher training, and the need for adaptive instructional strategies. Using a qualitative, descriptive-exploratory design, data were collected from special schools and inclusive schools through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. Participants included teachers, school principals, parents, and supporting professionals. The findings reveal that implementing the Merdeka Curriculum enhances inclusivity and individual potential by providing tailored educational strategies, particularly through the development of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). However, challenges such as resource constraints, insufficient training, and limited collaboration with stakeholders were identified as barriers to optimal implementation. The study highlights the importance of adaptive teaching methods, flexible assessment systems, and enhanced coordination among educators, caregivers, and professionals to maximize CSN’s development. This research contributes both theoretically and practically by offering insights into inclusive curriculum management and providing actionable recommendations for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders.

Abstract

Budget efficiency is crucial for the financial sustainability and service quality of public healthcare institutions. This study examines the influence of employee satisfaction on budget efficiency performance in the Financial Department of Gunung Jati Regional Hospital, Cirebon City, with work motivation as an intervening variable.
