Abstract

Decentralization of education through School/Madrasah-Based Management (SBM/M) is a strategy to improve the quality of education by granting schools or madrasas broader authority in managing resources, developing programs, and making decisions according to the needs and characteristics of each institution. This article aims to examine the concept, implementation, and impact of SBM/M implementation in supporting the effectiveness of education management. The study uses a library research method by analyzing various scientific literature, books, and relevant regulations. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of SBM/M can increase school community participation, management transparency, accountability, and the quality of education services when supported by effective leadership, human resource competency, and community involvement. Thus, decentralization of education through SBM/M is a strategic approach in realizing independent, democratic education governance, and oriented towards continuous quality improvement.

Abstract

Children under five may experience adverse consequences from inadequate nutritional intake. Short-term effects include impaired brain development, intelligence, physical growth, and body metabolism, whereas long-term effects include reduced cognitive ability and academic achievement, weakened immunity, increased susceptibility to illness, and a higher risk of diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and health instability in later life. This study aimed to examine the association between mothers' nutritional knowledge and the nutritional status of children under five at Sion Clinic. A descriptive research design was employed. The population comprised all mothers with children under five in the Sion Clinic service area, while the sample consisted of 20 mothers whose children attended immunization services. Participants were selected through accidental (convenience) sampling, and data were collected using a questionnaire. Chi-square analysis yielded a p-value of 0.028, which was below the 0.05 significance level, indicating a statistically significant association between mothers' nutritional knowledge and children's nutritional status. Among the 20 respondents, six mothers (30%) had good knowledge and children with good nutritional status; three (15%) had good knowledge and children with adequate nutritional status; two (10%) had moderate knowledge and children with good nutritional status; five (25%) had moderate knowledge and children with adequate nutritional status; one (5%) had moderate knowledge and a child with poor nutritional status; one (5%) had poor knowledge and a child with adequate nutritional status; and two (10%) had poor knowledge and children with poor nutritional status. The findings indicate that higher maternal nutritional knowledge tends to be associated with better nutritional status among children under five. Maternal knowledge plays an important role in caregiving practices and the provision of appropriate nutrition for children.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of customer satisfaction in facing increasingly competitive service business competition, especially at PT Swakarsa Jaya Indonesia which still faces various complaints related to service quality and the effectiveness of promotional prices. This study aims to analyze the effect of service quality and promotional prices on customer satisfaction at PT Swakarsa Jaya Indonesia. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires using a Likert scale. The study population amounted to 1,000 consumers with a sample of 91 respondents determined using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was carried out through validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, and coefficients of determination. The results showed that service quality has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction with a calculated t value of 5.810 > t table 1.986 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Promotional prices also have a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction with a calculated t value of 2.519 > t table 1.986 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, service quality and promotional prices significantly influence customer satisfaction. Research findings indicate that improving service quality supported by appropriate promotional pricing strategies can increase customer satisfaction levels. An Adjusted R Square value of 90% indicates that variations in customer satisfaction can be explained by service quality and promotional prices, while the remaining 10% is influenced by other factors outside the study. Thus, service quality and promotional prices are important factors in increasing customer satisfaction at PT Swakarsa Jaya Indonesia.

Abstract

Learning readiness and student engagement are fundamental factors influencing the quality of teaching and learning in higher education. Nevertheless, group presentations are often conducted with limited preparation, resulting in superficial discussions, insufficient conceptual understanding, and the potential for misconceptions during classroom learning. This study aimed to explore how the Pre-Presentation Feedback Strategy (SUPP) fosters students' learning readiness and engagement by providing academic feedback prior to classroom presentations. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara, Indonesia. The strategy was implemented across several undergraduate courses for more than two semesters, involving over 200 third-semester and senior students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with student representatives from each class, document analysis, end-of-course evaluations, and the lecturer's reflective notes. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that SUPP enhanced students' learning readiness by encouraging systematic preparation, revision based on academic feedback, and deeper conceptual understanding before presentations. Furthermore, the strategy promoted higher levels of student engagement, as reflected in improved presentation quality, more active classroom discussions, greater self-confidence, and stronger academic responsibility. Students also reported a shift in perception, from initially viewing the strategy as demanding to recognizing its contribution to improving their learning experience. These findings suggest that the Pre-Presentation Feedback Strategy has the potential to foster a more reflective, collaborative, and improvement-oriented learning culture in higher education

Abstract

The integration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in English language learning has become increasingly common in higher education. This study investigated the implementation of critical-thinking-oriented activities in LMS-supported TOEIC instruction and its influence on students’ TOEIC achievement, critical thinking skills, washback effects, and learning perceptions. The study employed a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design involving 60 undergraduate students enrolled in TOEIC preparation classes at a private university in Indonesia. Quantitative data were collected through TOEIC tests and a washback questionnaire, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that students in the experimental group achieved higher TOEIC score gains and demonstrated better critical thinking performance than those in the control group. The questionnaire results indicated high levels of learning orientation, deep learning behavior, learner autonomy, reflective learning, and engagement in LMS-supported activities, while negative washback tendencies were relatively low. Interview findings revealed positive student perceptions of the learning approach.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed digital business and increased the demand for individuals who are capable of adapting to technological change. While previous studies have primarily emphasized digital literacy and technical competencies as determinants of AI adoption, limited research has examined the role of psychological factors, particularly growth mindset, in facilitating AI adoption among vocational high school students. This study aimed to investigate the effect of growth mindset on Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption in digital business among students enrolled in the Office Management and Business Services Program at Harapan Bangsa Vocational High School, Tanjung Morawa. A quantitative predictive correlational design was employed involving 48 twelfth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using validated and reliable Likert-scale instruments measuring growth mindset and AI adoption in digital business. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. The findings revealed that growth mindset had a positive and statistically significant effect on AI adoption in digital business (β = 0.646, t = 5.743, p < .001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.418) indicated that growth mindset explained 41.8% of the variance in AI adoption, while the remaining 58.2% was influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings suggest that students who believe their abilities can be developed through continuous learning and effort are more likely to accept and utilize AI technologies in academic and digital business contexts. Therefore, vocational education should not only strengthen students' technical AI competencies but also cultivate a growth mindset to enhance their readiness to adapt to ongoing technological advancements.

Abstract

A child's identity does not emerge in isolation. It takes shape within the family, molded by the way parents educate, communicate, and instill values day by day. In Muslim families, parenting practices are inseparable from parents' religious understanding, including how they interpret hadiths oriented toward the Hereafter. This study aims to examine the relationship between parents' understanding of Hereafter-oriented hadiths and their parenting practices in supporting children's identity development. A quantitative correlational approach was employed with a population of parents from the Al-Qolam Foundation congregation in Bondowoso Regency. A sample of 30 respondents was selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using JASP version 0.95.3.0. All instruments were declared valid and reliable, and the data met the assumptions for parametric analysis. The Pearson correlation test yielded a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.680 with a significance level of p < 0.001, categorized as a strong relationship. The deeper parents' understanding of Hereafter-oriented hadiths, the more constructive their parenting tends to be in supporting children's identity development. This study confirms that a well-rounded understanding of hadith encourages parents to practice parenting that is not only spiritually oriented, but also responsive to children's developmental needs in accordance with Islamic values.

Abstract

This study analyzed Grade X students' errors in solving mathematical literacy problems involving systems of linear equations in three variables (SPLTV, the Indonesian abbreviation) using Newman's procedure and identified factors associated with those errors. A descriptive qualitative design involved 57 students from three schools in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar: SMAN 15 Banda Aceh (n = 20), SMAN 1 Kuta Baro (n = 17), and SMK SMTI Banda Aceh (n = 20). Data were collected through three written literacy tasks, interviews, and documentation; interview participants represented upper, middle, and lower within-school performance strata. Written responses were coded into reading, comprehension, transformation, process-skill, and encoding errors, while interviews clarified the reasoning behind observed errors. Across 171 student-item responses, transformation errors were most frequent (44; 25.7%), followed by encoding (42; 24.6%), comprehension and process-skill errors (36 each; 21.1%), and reading errors (15; 8.8%). Interview evidence indicated difficulties in converting contextual information into equations, applying elimination or substitution accurately, maintaining calculation precision, and expressing a contextual final conclusion. The findings suggest that instruction on three-variable linear systems should explicitly scaffold mathematical modeling, procedural verification, and interpretation of final answers rather than focusing only on algebraic computation.

Abstract

This study examined whether Problem-Based Learning (PBL) was associated with improved mathematical creative thinking in similarity among ninth-grade students. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used with 22 students in Grade IX-1 at SMP Negeri 1 Sukamakmur, Aceh Besar, selected through purposive sampling. Creative thinking was assessed through four essay problems covering fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Scores were analyzed descriptively and with a paired-samples t-test after checking the normality of score differences. The mean score increased from 31.53 on the pretest to 61.51 on the posttest, a mean gain of 29.97 points. All four indicators improved, with the largest gain in fluency. The paired-samples test showed a statistically significant within-group increase, t(21) = 15.94, p < .001, with a large standardized effect, Cohen's dz = 3.40. All 22 students obtained higher numerical scores, and 21 students (95.5%) moved to a higher descriptive creativity category. These findings indicate substantial improvement after PBL implementation. However, because the study used no control group, the result should be interpreted as strong within-group evidence rather than definitive causal proof. PBL can support creative mathematical thinking by engaging students in exploring, comparing, and explaining alternative solution strategies.

Abstract

This study examines how the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) is implemented through the PPEPP cycle in Indonesian Islamic higher education institutions, the outcomes reported in previous studies, and the conditions that explain variation in implementation. The study uses an integrative literature review with thematic content analysis rather than claiming an exhaustive systematic review. Literature identification and verification were conducted in August 2026 through Google Scholar, GARUDA, journal-publisher pages, institutional repositories, and official government portals. Ten scholarly sources published between 2018 and 2025 that directly addressed SPMI, PPEPP, or closely related quality-management practices in Indonesian higher education were retained for analytical synthesis; Law Number 12 of 2012, Regulation of the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Number 39 of 2025, and the 2026 SPMI implementation guideline were used as policy context. The synthesis shows that PPEPP provides a formal improvement cycle, but its effectiveness depends on leadership commitment, human-resource capacity, quality culture, digital infrastructure, and follow-up mechanisms. Reported outcomes include better documentation, learning and curriculum control, internal audit practices, governance, and research management, although most evidence is qualitative and institution-specific. Persistent constraints include limited personnel, uneven quality literacy, weak cross-unit coordination, administrative burden, and incomplete digital integration. The study contributes an integrative framework that positions quality culture as the mechanism linking enabling conditions to PPEPP implementation and institutional outcomes.
