Abstract

Effective geography education requires instructional media capable of visualizing spatial phenomena in a realistic and interactive manner. Google Earth, a digital mapping application based on satellite imagery and geospatial data, offers an innovative approach to address this need. This study aims to examineimplementation and advantages of Google Earth as a contextual learning medium in geography education through a systematic literature review. The analysis reveals that Google Earth significantly enhances students’ comprehension of key geographical concepts, including absolute and relative location, spatial distribution, spatial interaction, and regional dynamics, through 3D visualizations and geospatial data exploration. Furthermore, its integration supports project-based and inquiry-based learning models aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. However, several challenges hinder its implementation, such as limited technological infrastructure, low digital literacy among educators and learners, and various technical issues. To fully leverage the potential of Google Earth in geography instruction, strategic implementation planning, teacher training, and institutional support are essential.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of teachers in overcoming conflicts that occur in new students, especially grade 7 students at Zamzam Integrated Islamic School (ZIIS). Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, this study reveals various types of conflicts experienced by students, such as individual conflicts, between individuals, and between individuals and groups. Factors that trigger conflict include emotional immaturity and family background (broken home). The research shows that teachers play an important role as mediators, non-judgmental companions, teachers of problem-solving skills, and communicators between schools and parents. These strategies are strengthened by the synergy between teachers, the support of the principal, and the involvement of parents through the “parent teaching” program. The results confirm that effective conflict management contributes to the creation of a comfortable, conducive learning environment that supports students' character development. This study is expected to be a reference for other educational institutions in managing student conflicts constructively. Keywords: teacher role, conflict management, new students

Abstract

This study looks at how Islamic moral qualities including trust (amanah), justice (ʿadl), honesty (ṣidq), and tabligh are used in strategic leadership at SMK Nurul Abror Al Robbaniyin. Using a qualitative technique with a case study design, interviews were done with the principal, vice principal, and institutional managers, and participatory observations were collected. These results reveal that these principles are utilized to handle administration and finance, communicate inside the institution, make decisions, and divide up roles. These results help us learn more about the type of Islamic educational leadership that is both morally and spiritually right and good for managing. Islamic ethics builds a company culture that is transparent, responsible, and encourages everyone to get involved. By putting these values into practice, leaders not only show that they are moral people, but they also create a management system that makes sure that institutions are good and that everyone is treated fairly. In theory, this study helps to create a framework for value-based leadership in Islamic education. To reach this goal, this research suggests improving value-based leadership training and doing more research in other settings of other Islamic institutions to make a more adaptable ethical leadership model that can change with the times.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The development of education in the era of globalization has undergone significant changes as a direct result of advances in science and technology. In this situation, building a brand image is one of the important strategies that must be implemented by educational institutions to increase competitiveness and gain trust and legitimacy from the wider community. The strategy can be realized through a differentiation approach, which is creating unique values that distinguish an institution from other institutions. This study aims to examine the strategy of UNIA Prenduan Islamic Boarding School University Student in building a brand image in the community and identifying supporting and inhibiting factors that influence the implementation of the strategy. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, while data analysis is carried out using an interactive analysis model: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results showed that the Islamic Boarding School University Student strategy includes strengthening Islamic identity, using digital media as a means of da'wah, involvement in socio-religious activities, strengthening institutional networks, and exemplary in community life. Supporting factors include institutional support, community participation, internal enthusiasm, and program sustainability. The obstacles faced are limited resources, time management, and diverse community expectations. The findings are expected to be a strategic reference for educational institutions in shaping a strong, positive, and sustainable institutional image in the community.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the potential of the SOLO Taxonomy (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) as a framework to improve the quality of learning and assessment of Natural Sciences (IPA), especially in encouraging deep conceptual understanding (deep learning) and high-level thinking skills (HOTS). Using narrative literature review with a qualitative approach to analyze three dimensions: (1) The epistemological relevance of SOLO to the complexity of science, (2) Evidence of implementation in learning/assessment design, and (3) Operational challenges of its implementation. The synthesis of data is sourced from scientific journals, textbooks, and the latest empirical studies. The results are that SOLO (based on five levels: Pre-Structural to Abstract Extended) has proven to be effective in Authentic Assessment, i.e. Measuring students' cognitive structure and HOTS more accurately than conventional assessments. The Instructional Guide i.e. Scaffolding (e.g., concept map, analogy) successfully guides students towards systemic thinking (Relational-Abstract level). Implementation challenges, namely the subjectivity of teacher assessment and the difficulty of applying abstract levels, are overcome through collaborative training, SOLO templates, and technology (e-rubric, AI). The implication is that SOLO shifts the focus of learning from the product (correct answer) to the process of knowledge construction.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of a cooperative learning approach in developing students' emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is an individual's ability to recognize, understand, and manage their own emotions and establish healthy social relationships, which are crucial for supporting successful learning and character development. A cooperative learning approach provides space for students to interact, collaborate, and respect each other in the learning process, thus contributing to the strengthening of aspects of emotional intelligence such as empathy, self-control, social awareness, and communication skills. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study type, with data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques in one Islamic junior high school (MTs). The results showed that the consistent implementation of cooperative learning was able to create a learning environment conducive to the development of students' emotional intelligence. Strategies such as dividing students into heterogeneous groups, assigning shared responsibilities, and group reflection proved effective in fostering mutual respect, open communication, and increasing self-awareness. These findings indicate that cooperative learning not only encourages academic achievement but also plays an important role in developing students' character and emotional intelligence.

Abstract

The digital transformation in education has fostered the development of interactive learning media tailored to 21st-century student needs. One subject that requires innovative approaches is Shorof in Arabic, often seen as abstract and difficult by students in elementary Islamic schools. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Canva-based educational games in improving Shorof learning outcomes at MIN 3 Rokan Hulu. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental design, the study involved two groups of fifth-grade students: one experimental (Canva) and one control (traditional methods). Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and questionnaires. Results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s post-test scores, with a 20.25-point increase compared to 8.75 in the control group (t-test p = 0.003 < 0.05). Observations and surveys also indicated greater engagement and motivation. In conclusion, Canva-based game media significantly enhance Shorof learning, aligning well with the Merdeka Curriculum's digital learning goals.

Abstract

This research aims to develop the language skills of children aged 4-5 years through the use of fantasy puppet media in Al-Fajri Early Childhood Education (PAUD), East Tanjung Jabung. This Classroom Action Research (PTK) was carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The data collected includes children's ability to retell fairy tales and name the puppets. The results showed significant improvements in both abilities. At the end of Cycle II, 75% of children reached the BSB category in retelling fairy tales, and 83% of children reached the BSB category in naming puppets. These findings indicate that fantasy puppet media is effective in improving children's language skills through interactive and fun learning. This research supports the theories of constructivism and multiple intelligences, and provides an important contribution to the development of creative learning media based on local culture. The conclusion of this study shows that the use of fantasy puppet media is effective in improving the language skills of early childhood. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers and parents be more active in using creative media such as puppets to support children's language development, so that they can communicate better and build the social skills needed in everyday life
