Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of various planting media mixtures and watering frequencies, as well as their interactions, on the growth of coconut seedlings (Cocos nucifera L.) during the nursery stage. The research was conducted in Medan Selayang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, from November 2025 to February 2026, using a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD/RAK) with two factors: three types of planting media (P0: Cow Manure + Topsoil, P1: Goat Manure + Topsoil, P2: Chicken Manure + Topsoil) and three watering frequencies (A0: twice daily, A1: no watering, A2: once every two days). The measured parameters included plant height, stem diameter, and leaf count. The results showed that the planting media significantly affected plant height, stem diameter, and leaf count, with the best results obtained from P2 (Chicken Manure + Topsoil). Watering frequency also had a significant impact, with A2 (once every two days) producing the highest growth across all parameters. Additionally, the interaction between planting media and watering frequency significantly influenced plant growth, with the best combination being P2A2. This study highlights the importance of selecting the right planting media and watering regime for optimizing the growth of coconut seedlings.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the role of operational management and digitalization in improving Sharia insurance services. The increasingly advanced development of digital technology requires Sharia insurance companies to improve service quality to make it faster, more effective, and easier for the public to use. However, several obstacles remain in implementation, such as operational system readiness, human resource quality, and customer data security in digital services. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and literature review related to operational management, digitalization, and Sharia insurance services. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative techniques by collecting, compiling, and analyzing data obtained during the study. The results show that operational management plays a crucial role in improving service quality through work system management, service quality enhancement, and human resource management. Furthermore, digitalization has a positive impact on Sharia insurance services, such as facilitating service access, accelerating service processes, and increasing customer satisfaction. However, the implementation of digitalization still faces several obstacles, such as a lack of public understanding of digital services and data security risks. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that operational management and digitalization have a mutually supportive relationship in improving the quality of Sharia insurance services. Therefore, Sharia insurance companies need to continuously improve their operational systems, human resource quality, and digital service security to optimize customer service.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of academic supervision by the madrasah principal in improving the quality of teachers’ instructional administration at MAN Serdang Bedagai. A qualitative single-case study design was employed. Eight key informants were selected purposively, comprising the madrasah principal, the vice principal for curriculum affairs, a member of the academic supervision team, and five teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis and were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings generated five major themes: systematic but flexible supervision planning, integration of instructional-document review with classroom observation, collaborative supervisory feedback, improvement in teachers’ instructional administration, and limitations in follow-up sustainability. Academic supervision contributed to improvements in teaching modules, assessment rubrics, teaching journals, and remedial and enrichment programmes, particularly by strengthening the alignment among learning objectives, instructional activities, assessment, and classroom practices. Teachers responded more positively when feedback was delivered through professional dialogue rather than fault-finding evaluation. However, limited written recommendations, overlapping schedules, supervisors’ workload, teachers’ administrative responsibilities, and inconsistent follow-up reduced the sustainability of the improvements. The study concludes that academic supervision is most effective when implemented as a continuous cycle of planning, observation, feedback, revision, and monitoring. Madrasah principals should therefore strengthen written feedback, differentiated professional assistance, and systematic follow-up to ensure that improvements in instructional administration are consistently reflected in classroom instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the integration of Islamic values into financial education curricula at Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia. Financial education based on Islamic values is a fundamental need for developing a Muslim generation that possesses both financial competence and strong moral integrity. Using a library research method, this study collects, analyzes, and synthesizes relevant scholarly literature, including books, journals, academic articles, and educational policy documents published between 2020 and 2025. The review findings indicate that integrating Islamic values such as amanah (trustworthiness), justice, maslahah (public interest), and the prohibition of riba (usury) into financial education curricula enhances Islamic financial literacy and fosters responsible economic behavior. Islamic educational institutions, including pesantren, madrasahs, and Islamic higher education institutions, have substantial potential to implement sharia-based financial education. Nevertheless, challenges remain in curriculum standardization, teacher competence, and the availability of integrated teaching materials. This study recommends developing an integrated curriculum that comprehensively combines modern financial literacy with Islamic economic principles.

Abstract

The quality of learning in Indonesia still faces various challenges, such as the mismatch between the curriculum and student needs and limited resources. Curriculum evaluation based on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) model is considered a comprehensive approach to improving the overall quality of education. This study used a literature review method with qualitative and comparative analysis of various studies on the application of the CIPP model in curriculum evaluation, specifically the Merdeka Curriculum and the 2013 Curriculum. The results show that context evaluation helps adapt the curriculum to the needs of the learning environment, while input evaluation highlights the importance of teacher readiness and supporting facilities. Process evaluation reveals the need for innovation in learning methods for greater effectiveness, and product evaluation shows improved student learning outcomes despite persistent implementation challenges. The CIPP model has proven effective as a holistic and sustainable evaluation tool to support improvements in the quality of learning. Thus, the implementation of CIPP-based curriculum evaluation is highly recommended as a strategy to improve the quality of education systematically and adaptively according to current developments.

Abstract

Students’ mental health is a crucial aspect of education as it affects their ability to regulate emotions, adapt, and cope with academic demands. Generation Z faces various challenges, including academic pressure, changing social interactions, and exposure to digital environments. From the perspective of the psychology of religious development, religiosity and religious coping are viewed as psychological resources in dealing with stress. This study aims to analyze the relationship between religiosity, religious coping, and the mental health of Generation Z students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 36 students selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results show that religiosity and religious coping simultaneously have a significant relationship with mental health. However, partially, both variables do not show a significant effect. These findings indicate that spiritual aspects contribute to mental health but are also influenced by other psychosocial factors. Therefore, the integration of religious values in educational settings is important to support students’ mental health.

Abstract

The curriculum is a fundamental component of the education system, determining the direction, objectives, and learning process. In the context of history education in Indonesia, the curriculum plays a crucial role in developing students' historical awareness, national identity, and national character. This article aims to analyze the development of the history education curriculum in Indonesia and the shifting learning paradigms that have occurred over time. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach that analyzes various sources, books, scientific journals, and educational policy documents. The results of the study indicate that the history education curriculum in Indonesia has undergone a transformation, shifting from a narrative and indoctrinative approach to a competency-based approach and historical thinking. This change is also marked by a shift from a teacher-centered learning model to a student-centered one. Furthermore, recent curricula, such as the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum, provide greater scope for the development of critical thinking skills, historical source analysis, and project-based learning. However, the implementation of the history curriculum still faces various challenges, such as low student interest in learning, limited teacher competency, and the lack of utilization of digital technology in history learning. Therefore, strengthening historical literacy, pedagogical innovation, and technology integration are crucial factors in developing future history education curricula.

Abstract

Data security is a crucial aspect in the digital era, especially for the CSV (Comma Separated Values) data format, which is frequently used for data storage and exchange. This study aims to analyze and compare the performance of the Twofish and Blowfish cryptographic algorithms in securing CSV data. The analysis is based on three main parameters: encryption time, decryption time, algorithm security level, and changes to the encrypted or decrypted files. The Twofish algorithm is known for its Feistel structure and its flexibility with key sizes up to 256 bits, while Blowfish uses a variable key size up to 448 bits with a simple Feistel structure. The results show that Blowfish has higher encryption and decryption speeds than Twofish, with an average speed of around 275.85 ms for Blowfish and 655.672 ms for Twofish. However, Twofish excels in security. This study is expected to serve as a reference in selecting the right algorithm for securing CSV data based on specific user needs, both in terms of speed and security.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has made a significant contribution to the transformation of biology learning in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using digital technology on learning outcomes of senior high school students. The method used is a meta-analysis of 20 relevant research articles published between 2020 and 2025. The data analyzed consists of average learning outcomes of experimental and control classes, which were then calculated using effect size. The results indicate that digital technology is generally effective in improving biology learning outcomes across all senior high school levels, with a higher tendency of effectiveness in upper-level classes. Furthermore, the type of digital technology-based media also influences the level of effectiveness, where interactive, visual, and immersive media such as artificial intelligence, audiovisuals, and virtual laboratories have a greater impact compared to less interactive media. Therefore, the utilization of digital technology in biology learning needs to be adjusted to the characteristics of the material and students, and supported by teacher competence to ensure optimal learning.
