Abstract

Conversation skills often pose a major obstacle for self-directed learners of Arabic due to the limited availability of conversation partners and authentic practice environments. The emergence of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, presents new opportunities; however, its use for conversational practice remains suboptimal due to the absence of structured pedagogical approaches, including gamification elements that could enhance motivation. The main research question is: How can the use of ChatGPT as a virtual conversation partner for self-directed conversational practice be improved by integrating principles of gamification and artificial intelligence to effectively enhance Arabic speaking skills?. This research aims to: (1) design a model for self-directed conversational practice based on ChatGPT and integrated with gamification elements (points, levels, challenges, immediate feedback); (2) test the effectiveness of this model in improving speaking fluency, vocabulary mastery, and learner self-confidence; (3) identify the strengths and limitations of ChatGPT as a conversational agent in the context of Arabic language teaching. The research adopts a design-based research methodology and consists of three phases: needs analysis, model development, and a limited-scale experiment. Participants are 30 self-directed learners of Arabic at the basic and intermediate levels. Instruments include oral tests (pre- and post-), an observation form for interactions with ChatGPT, a motivation questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data will be analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, while qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic analysis. The research is expected to provide: (1) a structured protocol for self-directed conversational practice using ChatGPT with gamified scenarios (e.g., daily tasks, conversation challenges, a point system); (2) empirical evidence of significant improvement in speaking fluency (with a minimum target of 25%) and learning motivation compared to traditional methods; (3) practical recommendations on how to formulate effective prompts for ChatGPT to generate responses appropriate to learners' proficiency levels and to support topic-based conversational practice. Optimizing the use of ChatGPT for self-directed conversational practice requires pedagogical design that not only relies on AI capabilities alone but also incorporates gamification principles to maintain engagement and sustainability in learning. The findings of this research are expected to serve as a reference for developers of Arabic teaching materials and for self-directed learners in using AI effectively. Further research is recommended to test this model over a longer period and with a broader population

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Instagram as an online platform in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMAN 2 Sarolangun. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, this research involved 30 students of class XII F3 and PAI teachers as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analysed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model with source and technique triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal three dominant patterns of Instagram utilization: passive content consumption, active content creation, and interactive digital discussion. Several supporting factors were identified, including students' pre-existing familiarity with the platform, the abundance of Islamic educational content, and the flexibility of the Kurikulum Merdeka framework. Instagram positively impacted students' learning motivation by presenting PAI material in visually engaging and contextually relevant formats. Furthermore, guided Instagram engagement cultivated key dimensions of Islamic digital literacy character, including tabayyun (information verification), tasamuh (tolerance), and adab (digital ethics). However, risks of distraction and unequal internet access remain critical challenges requiring structured pedagogical intervention.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model in improving students' learning interest in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMK Negeri 7 Tanjung Jabung Barat. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart cycle model, the study was conducted in two cycles involving 30 XI-students during the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, classroom observation sheets, formative tests, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and the qualitative analysis model of Miles and Huberman. The findings revealed significant improvements across all measured dimensions. The average learning interest score increased from 52.4 in the pre-cycle stage to 82.5 in Cycle II, representing a cumulative improvement of 57.4%. Student activity levels rose from 30.0% to 85.3%, while the percentage of students achieving the Minimum Completeness Criterion (MCC) increased substantially from 30.0% to 90.0%. Student responses also indicated a highly positive perception of the Jigsaw model, with an average positive response rate of 86.0%. These findings demonstrate that the Jigsaw cooperative learning model effectively promotes autonomy, competence, and social connectedness the three fundamental components of intrinsic motivation thereby making it an effective, evidence-based, and pedagogically sound instructional strategy for Islamic Religious Education in vocational secondary schools.

Abstract

The integration of interactive multimedia in education has gained considerable attention, yet its practical application in Indonesian vocational settings remains limited. This study examines the effectiveness of Powtoon-based interactive learning media on students' learning interest in ICT subjects at MA Darusshiddiqien NW Mertak Paok, Central Lombok. Employing a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design, data were collected from 26 students of class XI-IPS using a 22-item Likert-scale questionnaire. The chi-square test yielded a calculated value of 19.774, which exceeded the table value of 9.488 at a 5% significance level with df = 4. These results indicate a statistically significant effect, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The findings suggest that Powtoon-based interactive media contributes positively to enhancing students' learning interest in ICT education. However, the small sample size and single-group design limit the generalizability of the results. Future research should consider larger samples and comparative designs to validate these findings across diverse educational contexts

Abstract

The growing coffee consumption culture in urban society and the increasing use of digital platforms have changed how coffee shops identify customer demand, manage inventory, and maintain service consistency. In this context, supply chain performance has become an essential managerial concern because coffee shop businesses must respond to fluctuating demand, short product life cycles, intense competition, and customer expectations for fast and reliable service. This study aims to examine the effect of market orientation on supply chain performance, with supply chain integration as a mediating variable. This research employed a quantitative explanatory approach using survey data collected from coffee shop owners or managers in Jabodetabek. The respondents were selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 66 coffee shops that met the research criteria. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that market orientation positively affects supply chain integration and supply chain performance. Supply chain integration also improves supply chain performance and partially mediates the relationship between market orientation and supply chain performance. These findings indicate that market orientation is not merely a marketing activity, but also a managerial capability to interpret changes in urban digital consumer behavior and translate them into operational coordination, procurement, inventory management, and supplier collaboration. The study implies that coffee shop managers should integrate digital market insights with supply chain practices to maintain product availability, freshness, service speed, and service consistency.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of collateral quality in the settlement of non-performing financing at Bank NTB Syariah. The study is motivated by the importance of collateral as a risk mitigation instrument in Islamic banking, which plays a crucial role in determining the success of financing recovery. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving financing officers and risk management staff and were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings show that collateral quality significantly influences the effectiveness of non-performing financing settlement. High-quality collateral characterized by clear legal certainty, complete documentation, stable value, and high liquidity can accelerate the settlement process and reduce losses, while weak collateral tends to slow down liquidation and increase financing risk. Several obstacles were identified, including incomplete legal documents, ownership disputes, declining asset values, low market demand for certain assets, and limited collateral appraisal capability. The bank addresses these issues through improved verification processes, inter-unit coordination, periodic valuation, prioritization of restructuring before collateral execution, and staff training. This study concludes that effective collateral quality management is essential to optimize non-performing financing settlement and maintain financing risk stability in Islamic banking.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Quote Creator application in poetry writing activities and to describe the results of composing poems using the application for second-semester students. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving 28 second-semester students from the English Education Department at Universitas Islam Madura, Indonesia. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the implementation of Quote Creator went through three stages: feature exploration, guided writing, and publication. Students developed multimodal awareness by combining text and visual elements such as colors, backgrounds, images, and fonts to strengthen the meaning of their poems. Students wrote about personal themes including family affection, simplicity, nature, hope, and love, using simple yet communicative English. Increased student confidence was reported because the digital format produced neat and visually appealing results. However, challenges in arranging words in English indicated the need for continued pedagogical guidance. This study suggests that Quote Creator, when used with appropriate teacher guidance, can serve as an effective offline digital tool for creative writing instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the characteristics and levels of heavy metal content of Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), and Zinc (Zn) in soil at various locations in Hila village, Romang Island, and to evaluate its safety based on the applicable soil quality standards by comparing it with the Regulation of the Minister of Environment Number 128 of 2003, concerning Soil Quality Standards for Agricultural and Residential Activities. Sampling was carried out randomly in a stratified manner at several points representing coastal areas, lowlands, and highlands. Analysis of heavy metal content was carried out using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry method using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) atomic absorption spectrometer Buck Scientific 205 version 3.94C. The results of the study showed that the element Iron (Fe) had the highest levels compared to other elements in all sampling locations, ranging from 12,450 – 18,920 mg/kg, followed by Manganese (Mn) with a range of 320 – 680 mg/kg. Meanwhile, the element Cadmium (Cd) showed the lowest levels, which were below 0.5 mg/kg in all locations. Comparison of the measurement results with soil quality standards for agricultural and residential purposes showed that all measured heavy metal levels were still below the safe threshold, except for the elements Iron and Manganese, which had high levels but were natural conditions and not pollution. These results serve as important baseline data for environmental management and sustainable land use in Hila Village, Romang Island.
