Abstract

Indonesia's National Health Insurance system (JKN), covering more than 270 million participants in 2024, created a strategic paradox for partner hospitals: guaranteed patient volume on one hand, but fixed INA-CBG tariffs, tiered referral systems, and strict accreditation requirements on the other, demanding new competitive capabilities not accommodated by prior research models. This study aimed to develop and formulate an integrated conceptual framework explaining the roles of digital transformation, big data analytics, and organizational agility as antecedents of hospital competitive advantage, with service quality as a mediator and Islamic work ethics as a moderator. The study was designed using an explanatory quantitative cross-sectional approach with proportional stratified random sampling targeting 150 managerial and clinical respondents from six BPJS partner hospitals in Kuningan Regency, West Java, with data to be analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4. The framework produced nine hypotheses grounded in Dynamic Capabilities Theory, SERVQUAL Theory, and Islamic Work Ethics Theory, and extended a prior research model by replacing a static information-systems construct with three dynamic capability constructs. The study concluded that hospital competitive advantage under JKN depends on simultaneous investment in digital capabilities reinforced by Islamic work ethics as a conditional amplifier, providing a theoretical foundation and empirical validation agenda for hospital managers, BPJS Kesehatan regulators, and future researchers.

Abstract

Islamic education positions the teacher not merely as a mu'allim (knowledge transmitter), but fundamentally as a murobbi a holistic educator who nurtures, guides, and models character for students. This study aims to: analyze the concept of murobbi from Qur'anic, hadith, and classical Islamic scholarly perspectives; examine the relationship between the murobbi role and teacher exemplariness (uswah hasanah); and critically assess the relevance and urgency of this concept in the contemporary era of digital disruption. A qualitative library research method is employed, using primary sources (Qur'an, hadith, classical Islamic texts) and secondary sources comprising peer-reviewed national and international journals. The theoretical framework integrates Al-Attas's concept of ta'dib and adab with Bandura's social learning theory, offering a cross-paradigmatic analysis of teacher exemplariness. Findings reveal:  the murobbi concept, rooted in the Arabic rabb, entails a holistic educational mission transcending mere instruction to encompass spiritual, moral, and character formation; uswah hasanah is not merely a pedagogical method but the ontological foundation of the murobbi's identity affirmed by Qur'anic verses, Prophetic traditions, and classical Islamic scholars; in an era of digital disruption, the murobbi as an authentic role model constitutes an irreplaceable anchor for character formation that cannot be substituted by artificial intelligence or digital tools. This study concludes that reconstructing teacher identity as murobbi is a historical and educational imperative for producing intellectually capable and morally grounded students (insan kamil).

Abstract

Students’ civic responsibility in Citizenship Education remains a significant challenge in elementary schools. Teacher-centered learning practices often limit students’ opportunities to analyze social issues, express opinions, and develop responsible citizenship attitudes. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Controversial Issues learning model in improving students’ civic responsibility in Citizenship Education. This research employed a quasi-experimental method using a non-equivalent control group design. The research subjects consisted of 60 students, including 30 students in the experimental group and 30 students in the control group, while 35 students participated in the instrument testing process. Data were collected through tests and questionnaires using a civic responsibility test and a civic responsibility questionnaire that met validity and reliability requirements. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through an independent sample t-test. The findings revealed a significant difference between students who participated in the Controversial Issues learning model and those who received conventional instruction. The experimental group achieved higher civic responsibility scores than the control group, indicating that the model effectively enhanced students’ civic responsibility. Therefore, the Controversial Issues learning model can be considered an effective alternative for fostering students’ civic responsibility and active participation in social life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) in the relationship between entrepreneurial mindset and career readiness among vocational high school (SMK) students. The background to this research is the relatively high rate of open unemployment among SMK graduates, making the strengthening of entrepreneurial orientation a strategic priority. The study employs a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modelling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The sample comprised 108 Year 12 students from SMK 3 Balikpapan, selected via purposive sampling. The construct of entrepreneurial mindset was measured across four dimensions: opportunity orientation, innovation proneness, risk tolerance, and future focus; entrepreneurial self-efficacy was measured through opportunity identification, innovation & creativity, resource gathering, and risk & uncertainty management; and career readiness was operationalised through career clarity, self-presentation, work readiness attitude, and entrepreneurial readiness. The results of the hypothesis testing indicate: (1) entrepreneurial mindset has a positive and significant effect on career readiness; (2) entrepreneurial mindset has a positive and significant effect on; (3) ESE has a positive and significant effect on career readiness; and (4) ESE partially mediates the effect of entrepreneurial mindset on career readiness. The R² value for career readiness of 0.543 indicates that the model has substantial predictive power. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening entrepreneurship programmes in vocational schools that not only target mindset but also build entrepreneurial self-confidence as a bridge to comprehensive career readiness.

Abstract

Students showed low speaking skills as indicated by students appearing to lack confidence, hesitation, and often afraid of making mistakes when asked to answer questions, express opinions, or tell stories in front of their friends. Therefore, this study aims to improve language skills, namely speaking in fifth grade elementary school students by implementing the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model with the help of digital storytelling media in Indonesian language learning. This study was a quasi-experimental type with a posttest only non-equivalent control group design. The population and sample in this study were 65 fourth grade students of Saraswati 1 Denpasar Elementary School. Student character data were collected using the Likert scale observation method. Data were analyzed using quantitative analysis techniques. Data analysis was carried out using paired sample t-test calculations. Based on the test results, t count > t table (13.77 > 1.998) and a significance value of less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05) was obtained. The average score of speaking skills in the experimental class was higher than the average score of speaking skills in the control class (85.25 > 52.87), so it can be said that the Think Pair Share learning model assisted by digital storytelling in Indonesian language learning can influence speaking skills.

Abstract

Peat water is a potential raw water source in Central Kalimantan; however, its utilization is limited due to its high acidity (pH 3–5) and high organic matter content, which causes a brownish-red color. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize TiO₂–ZnO nanocomposites using the co-precipitation method and evaluate their effectiveness as photocatalysts for the purification of peat water from Sei Gohong Village, Palangka Raya. The nanocomposites were synthesized through the co-precipitation method using low-temperature processing (<100°C). Material characterization was carried out using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM–EDX), and UV–Visible spectroscopy. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of TiO₂ and ZnO crystalline phases, with the main diffraction peak positions at 2θ of 54.67° (A1), 49.02° (A2), 55.70° (A3), 54.06° (A4), and 54.97° (A5). SEM–EDX characterization of sample A2 showed an average particle size of 180.51 ± 2.03 nm. Photocatalytic performance testing demonstrated that the A2 nanocomposite (75% TiO₂:25% ZnO) exhibited the highest peat water purification efficiency, achieving an absorbance reduction of 67.35% after 5 hours of UV irradiation and increasing the peat water pH from 4 to 7. These findings indicate that the synthesized TiO₂–ZnO nanocomposite has good potential as an effective photocatalyst for peat water purification.
