Abstract

This study reports the development and evaluation of SIDANGKE (Sistem Informasi Stunting Kabupaten Enrekang), a mobile learning application designed to improve public literacy on stunting prevention in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The research adopted an applied Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, comprising analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The application was developed based on community needs, local health data, and instructional design principles to ensure contextual relevance and usability. Data were collected through interviews, observations, expert validation instruments, and pre-test and post-test assessments involving parents of toddlers, community health cadres, and health practitioners. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis, including expert validation scores and the N-Gain test to measure effectiveness. The results indicate that the SIDANGKE application achieved a content and media validity score of 91.8%, classified as very high, and a practicality score of 89.6%, indicating strong usability and user acceptance. Furthermore, the effectiveness analysis produced an N-Gain value of 0.67, reflecting a moderate-to-high improvement in users’ knowledge and understanding of stunting causes, prevention strategies, and early intervention practices. These findings demonstrate that mobile learning can serve as an effective medium for community-based health education, particularly in rural areas with limited access to conventional learning resources. The study supports mobile learning theory, multimedia learning principles, and health literacy frameworks, while also aligning with regional stunting reduction policies and national digital transformation initiatives. Overall, SIDANGKE represents a valid, practical, and effective digital innovation that can be scaled and replicated to strengthen community health literacy and support sustainable stunting prevention programmes in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates how constructivist pedagogy enhances the research proposal and manuscript writing competence of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) undergraduates. Responding to the challenges of low academic writing quality and limited publication outcomes in Indonesian higher education, the study implemented a twelve-week constructivist intervention integrating guided inquiry, peer collaboration, project-based learning, and reflective practice. A mixed-method quasi-experimental design was employed, combining quantitative (pretest–posttest) and qualitative (reflective journals and interviews) data. Participants comprised 22 students enrolled in a Research Proposal Writing course at Universitas Muhammadiyah Enrekang. Quantitative results revealed a statistically significant improvement across all five writing dimensions—Conceptual Clarity, Argument Development, Methodological Coherence, Language Accuracy, and Organization—with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.18). Students’ writing self-efficacy also increased substantially in cognitive, linguistic, and regulative domains (p < .001), reflecting enhanced confidence, autonomy, and reflective awareness. Thematic analysis of qualitative data identified four major patterns of growth: (1) deepened understanding of research logic, (2) increased collaborative engagement, (3) development of reflective and self-regulated learning, and (4) shift from dependence to autonomy. The integration of both data strands confirms that constructivist pedagogy improves not only writing performance but also higher-order cognitive and affective capacities, enabling students to view writing as a process of inquiry rather than a static product. The findings extend constructivist learning theory within EFL contexts and provide an instructional model for fostering academic literacy and research competence aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).

Abstract

This study examines the management of innovation initiation in Islamic education and its implications for strengthening madrasah competitiveness, using MAN 2 Tulungagung and MAN 2 Kota Kediri as multisite cases. While existing studies on Islamic educational innovation primarily focus on implementation and outcomes, the initiation phase of innovation remains underexplored, particularly in the context of madrasah management. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach within a naturalistic paradigm, this research explores how innovation initiation is strategically managed across three domains: curriculum, student development, and human resources (teachers). The findings indicate that innovation initiation is driven by benchmarking, internal awareness building, and systematic identification of student potential through psychological and talent–interest assessments. MAN 2 Tulungagung initiated innovation through talent-based superior classes and differentiated instruction aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, supported by structured teacher development. In contrast, MAN 2 Kota Kediri adopted an integrative model that connects intrakurikuler, kokurikuler, and ekstrakurikuler programs through its “Red Carpet” philosophy, emphasizing holistic talent development and character formation. Across both sites, innovation initiation is characterized by collaborative decision-making, curriculum flexibility, professional learning communities, and strong leadership commitment. This study contributes novel insights by conceptualizing innovation initiation as a strategic managerial process that precedes implementation and directly shapes institutional competitiveness. It demonstrates that innovation initiation grounded in Islamic educational values functions as a foundational driver of academic excellence, institutional differentiation, and sustainable competitive advantage in contemporary madrasahs.

Abstract

This study aims to identify research gaps in the harmonisation of school leadership and foundations in the development of human resources (HR) within Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions. Although several studies address the relationship between leadership and HR development, research specifically examining the dynamics between school leadership and foundations in the context of ECE remains limited. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data collection techniques include in-depth observations, and interviews. The data obtained is analysed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the educator standards at TKIT Nurussyifa encompass four key competencies: pedagogical, social, personal, and professional. Each teacher is expected to possess these competencies to effectively fulfil their responsibilities. The headteacher’s role is to lead and guide teachers in school activities and programmes, while teachers are accountable for the learning process. The foundation plays a crucial role in supporting the headteacher and teachers, as well as managing the school’s operational funding. In terms of management and HR development, the foundation seeks to enhance teaching quality through selective and intensive teacher recruitment. The headteacher also actively contributes to the professional development of teachers through relevant seminars and training. The practical implications of this study suggest that school and foundation managers must continue to collaborate to create an environment conducive to the development of quality human resources. Consequently, this harmonisation benefits not only the educational institution but also positively impacts students and the broader community.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the factors influencing loyalty toward KUR (People’s Business Credit) guarantee products offered by Askrindo Syariah at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in the Makassar Region. The study explores four independent variables: service quality, technological innovation, institutional reputation, and collaboration effectiveness. The research adopts a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 30 branch managers of BSI who utilize Askrindo Syariah’s KUR guarantee products during 2023–2024. Statistical analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression via SPSS. The results indicate that service quality, technological innovation, institutional reputation, and collaboration effectiveness have positive and significant effects on loyalty, both partially and simultaneously. The adjusted R² value of 0.744 shows that 74.4% of the variance in loyalty can be explained by the four variables. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing digital innovation, institutional trust, and inter-institutional collaboration to sustain long-term partnerships in Islamic financial ecosystems

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the Work Environment, Training and Development of Human Resources on Employee Performance mediated by Job Satisfaction. The research approach uses a quantitative approach with primary data sources through the distribution of questionnaires to 86 operational marketing employees of PT Bank Central Asia Tbk Makassar Branch as respondents. To measure the direct influence of the Work Environment, Training and Development of Human Resources variables on employee performance and its influence if mediated by the job satisfaction variable, the Structural Equation Model-PLS path analysis tool is used. The results of the study indicate that partially, the variables of Work Environment, Training, and Development of Human Resources have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while the variable of job satisfaction does not affect employee performance. Furthermore, the variables of Work Environment, Training, and Development of Human Resources also have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Meanwhile, the study found that the indirect effect of the variables of Work Environment, Training, and Development of Human Resources on employee performance, mediated by job satisfaction, is positive and significant.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Operating Expenses to Operating Income ratio (BOPO) in moderating the effect of Net Interest Margin (NIM) on profit growth in state-owned banks in Indonesia. Banking profitability is not only determined by interest margin performance but also by operational efficiency, making BOPO a critical contextual factor in explaining profit growth dynamics. The population consists of four state-owned banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, observed over the period 2013–2023. Using a saturated sampling technique, the study analyzes 44 annual financial report observations. The research applies a quantitative approach with panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results indicate that NIM has a positive and significant effect on profit growth, showing that higher interest margin management contributes directly to increased profitability. Furthermore, the interaction term between NIM and BOPO is statistically significant, confirming that BOPO acts as a moderating variable that strengthens the relationship between NIM and profit growth. This finding implies that the positive impact of NIM on profit growth becomes stronger when banks operate more efficiently in controlling operating costs relative to operating income. The study highlights the importance of integrating margin management and operational efficiency strategies to enhance sustainable profit growth in state-owned banking institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the management of inclusive education services as a strategic approach to enhancing school competitiveness in primary schools and madrasah ibtidaiyah in Tulungagung, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative multi-case study design, the research was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Tulungagung, SDI Al Azhaar Tulungagung, and MI Modern SAKTI Permatahati Ibu Tulungagung. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving school leaders, inclusion coordinators, Special Assistant Teachers, classroom teachers, and parents. Data analysis followed an interactive model consisting of reduction, display, and cross-case thematic verification. The findings reveal a coherent managerial cycle comprising needs analysis, integrated planning, consistent implementation, and continuous evaluation. Early identification and institutional readiness assessment ensure precise service alignment. Planning integrates individualized education programs, teacher professional development, and structured parental collaboration. Implementation operationalizes curriculum adaptation, therapeutic support, and inclusive participation in flagship programs. Evaluation mechanisms generate feedback loops that sustain service innovation and organizational learning. The study proposes a conceptual framework linking inclusive service management to student achievement, public trust, and institutional differentiation. Inclusive education management emerges not only as a rights-based obligation but also as a strategic driver of sustainable school competitiveness grounded in service quality and reputational capital.
