Abstract

Money politics poses a serious threat to the quality of democracy by undermining electoral integrity and discouraging meaningful political participation. Civics (PPKn) education plays a strategic role in fostering students’ political awareness and encouraging them to reject unethical political practices. This qualitative descriptive study involved 5 PPKn teachers and 8 high school students in Meukek District, South Aceh. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that PPKn teachers play a crucial role in curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities. In curricular settings, they strengthen students’ understanding of the negative impacts of money politics through subject content and critical discussions. In extracurricular contexts, they promote student involvement in election simulations and political awareness campaigns. However, most schools in Meukek lack extracurricular programs focused on political education. Inhibiting factors include limited student interest in politics, economic constraints, cultural influences, low political literacy, and the pervasive culture of transactional politics. Enhancing the role of PPKn teachers across educational dimensions is essential to developing politically aware, critical-minded students who support clean and fair democratic practices.

Abstract

This article investigates university teachers' perceptions of innovative pedagogical approaches in entrepreneurship education, particularly those integrating digital technologies with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI). It highlights AI’s potential to personalize learning paths, support adaptive feedback, and facilitate more nuanced and contextualized assessments of students' entrepreneurial competencies. Drawing on a qualitative study involving 147 university instructors through semi-structured interviews, the research explores their current teaching practices, attitudes toward AI integration, and concrete suggestions for its effective and ethical use. The results reveal a range of influencing factors, including digital literacy, institutional support, and pedagogical orientations, which shape the willingness and readiness of instructors to adopt AI-driven tools. The study also discusses barriers to adoption such as limited resources and concerns over the human dimension of teaching while emphasizing opportunities for enhancing engagement, autonomy, and innovation in entrepreneurship education through AI.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the Mentimeter-based brainstorming method on students' critical thinking skills in the teaching of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn). The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of implementing the Mentimeter-based brainstorming method on students’ critical thinking abilities. The background of this study is based on the importance of developing critical thinking skills as a demand of 21st-century learning, in which students are expected to be able to analyze, evaluate, and express their opinions logically and reflectively. This research employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group type. The sample consists of two classes divided into an experimental group and a control group. The instrument used was a set of multiple-choice questions designed to measure indicators of critical thinking. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24. The results of the study show a significant difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups. Students who participated in learning using the Mentimeter-based brainstorming method showed greater improvement in critical thinking skills compared to those who learned through conventional methods. These findings confirm that the integration of interactive technology into active learning models can create a participatory, reflective, and democratic learning environment. This study recommends the use of Mentimeter as a strategic innovation to enhance students' critical thinking skills across various educational levels.

Abstract

Character instilling in students is the primary mandate of education in Indonesia, including in madrasah that combine general and religious education. One of the popular strategies in character formation in the madrasah environment is the application of educational punishment. The punishment to shape the character of lower-class students still causes controversy among educators, parents, and education experts. The study reviewed the literature on the role and effectiveness of educational punishment in shaping the character of madrasah students, with a focus on lower-class students. The method used is a literature study with descriptive analysis of the results of previous research and related policies. Research findings show that educational punishment is still commonly used in lower-class madrasah, employed through various methods. Educational punishment in the form of self-reflection and social tasks is effective in instilling discipline and responsibility in students. Physical punishment or humiliation has negative impacts, including fear, aggressiveness, and a decreased interest in learning. Positive discipline based on religious values is more effective, but its implementation is less consistent in the field. Further research on the wise application of educational punishment can reinforce students’ character. It is crucial to uphold humanistic principles and consider the psychological development of children.

Abstract

This study evaluates the efficacy of Task-Based Learning (TBL) in enhancing students’ English speaking proficiency, particularly in delivering procedure texts, and identifies the most pronounced pronunciation improvement. Conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Cikakak, ninth-grade students were randomly assigned to an experimental class using TBL or a control class receiving conventional instruction. The speaking assessment evaluated fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, and idea organization. This study addresses the research gap by analyzing pronunciation aspects, unlike previous studies that focused solely on TBL for teaching procedure texts at the junior high school level. The experimental class showed a substantial improvement, with a mean score surge from 57.80 to 80.50, while the control class experienced only a modest improvement from 55.67 to 62.33. The N-Gain score of 51.94 for the experimental group was effective, while the control group’s gain of 14.06 was ineffective. Statistical tests confirmed a significant disparity between the groups. Students also showed a favorable response to the TBL method, supporting the assertion that TBL effectively enhances speaking skills and engages students in learning.
