Abstract

Integrity is an essential character that every prospective clergy must have. In the context of higher education, especially theological higher education institutions, the formation of integrity becomes an integral part of the process of forming students' personalities. This study aims to describe the character portrait of integrity in prospective clergy students at the Sekolah Tinggi Teologi Amanat Agung, Jakarta. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. The research respondents were 58 students of the Sarjana Teologi study program. The research instrument was a questionnaire developed based on the dimensions of integrity according to the concept of personal integrity, namely honesty, moral consistency, responsibility, and moral courage. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to map the tendencies of the respondents' integrity characters. The results of the study showed that most prospective clergy students had a high level of integrity in the aspects of honesty and responsibility, but there were still weaknesses in the aspect of moral courage in facing situations that demanded difficult ethical decision-making. These findings indicate that the process of forming integrity in prospective clergy requires further strengthening, especially through a seminary-based learning approach. This study is expected to be a reference for theological higher education institutions in compiling a character formation curriculum that is more effective and relevant to the needs of the times.

This research uses a qualitative method by using literature revieu from various literatures such as scientific journals, books, and researches related to the subject matter. This research analyzes the comparative results of the thoughts of these character education figures, which although they have positive differences in their thoughts, are for the advancement of education in Indonesia which creates individuals who are virtuous and have good personalities, are able to think critically, actively, and participate in society. Nevertheless, both agree that character education should be the main focus in the education system in Indonesia in order to create qualified individuals who are able to make a positive contribution to society. Therefore, a joint effort from all parties is needed to strengthen character education in Indonesia to achieve this goal.

Abstract

The quality of education is closely tied to the professional competencies of teachers, which in turn are influenced by the effectiveness of school leadership. While numerous studies have examined the role of principals in enhancing teacher performance, limited research has explored the contextual dynamics of leadership practices in Indonesian secondary schools, particularly in less-represented regions such as Merauke. This study investigates how principals at SMP IT Lukman Al Hakim and SMP Muhammadiyah Merauke employ leadership strategies to foster teacher professional development, with a particular emphasis on pedagogical, professional, and technological competencies. A qualitative descriptive design was adopted, involving in-depth interviews, document analysis, and observations with school principals, teachers, and administrative staff. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of leadership practices, challenges encountered, and strategies for overcoming barriers. The findings reveal that both schools implement transformational leadership, albeit with different emphases. SMP IT prioritizes inclusive collaboration and reflective supervision, while SMP Muhammadiyah focuses on curriculum innovation and digital integration. Despite positive impacts, challenges persist, including limited time for continuous professional development, teacher readiness in adopting digital tools, and structural constraints within school management. The study concludes that leadership, when adaptive and contextually grounded, significantly enhances teacher competence and indirectly improves student outcomes. This research contributes to the literature by providing comparative insights into leadership practices in Indonesian junior secondary schools, offering both theoretical and practical implications for educational leadership and policy.

Abstract

This article synthesizes the theory of moral development according to Lawrence Kohlberg with the values of Aswaja NU and the practice of guidance-counseling (BK) as a conceptual model of early childhood moral education in Indonesia. The purpose of the paper is to formulate an integrative framework that combines moral rationality (Kohlberg) with the spiritual-cultural dimension of Aswaja NU through the medium of implementing BK services in PAUD and elementary schools. The method used is a systematic review based on PRISMA 2015–2025 on reputable databases, followed by screening, quality assessment, and content analysis with thematic coding of 35 journal articles and 5 relevant book chapters. The results show: (1) the child's preconventional stage becomes the foundation of moral reasoning that needs to be stimulated through social-reflective experiences; (2) Aswaja values (tawassuth, tawazun, tasamuh, i'tidal, amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, rahmah) complement the individualistic-secular bias in the Kohlberg framework; (3) classical, group, and individual BK services are effective in internalizing values through dialogue, example, habituation, and behavior reinforcement. Conclusion: Kohlberg-Aswaja-BK integration produces a holistic, contextual, and applicative "Aswaja-Based Moral Counseling" model that is holistic, contextual, and applicative to strengthen character education and religious moderation in early childhood in Indonesia.

Abstract

Education is one of the main means of character building, which aims to prepare students to become individuals who are not only intelligent but also have integrity and social responsibility. Previous research has discussed the integration of local wisdom in education, but few have focused on how the values of Sundanese customary law can specifically shape the character of university students. This study aims to fill that gap by examining how these values are interpreted, lived, and transformed into behavioral attitudes among students of IPI Garut. This study aims to explore the implications of Sundanese customary law values in shaping the character of students at Institut Pendidikan Indonesia (IPI) Garut. The research employed a quantitative associative-correlational design to determine the relationship between the understanding of Sundanese customary values and student character. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 316 respondents and analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression with SPSS 30 software. The findings revealed that Sundanese customary law has a positive and significant effect on character formation (r = 0.478; p < 0.001; R² = 0.229), meaning that 22.9% of the variation in student character can be explained by the understanding and application of customary law values. These values, including silih asah, silih asih, and silih asuh, are reflected in moral attitudes, social responsibility, and academic integrity. The study concludes that integrating Sundanese customary law into higher education can strengthen contextual character education rooted in local wisdom and cultural identity.
