Abstract

This study adopted the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model with a cooperative approach in order to enhance student participation and learning achievement. The research was conducted at SMKN 1 Patumbak, involving all 35 students from class XI AKL 1. The method employed was Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was structured into two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection phases. Data were collected using student learning activity observation sheets and learning outcome test instruments. The research findings revealed that the application of the cooperative-based PjBL model was able to encourage students to keep progressing over time. This model proved effective, as reflected in the surge of learning activity percentage from 65% in the first cycle to 88% in the second cycle. Student learning outcomes also showed considerable improvement, marked by the pre-test average score of 68.2 which rose to 75.8 in the first cycle, then increased again to 86.7 in the second cycle. Furthermore, classical learning completeness also experienced a jump from 34% to reaching 91%.

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the effectiveness of using prehistoric cave painting animation videos as a learning medium in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills, active engagement, and understanding of cultural context in art education at the secondary school level. The study employed a mixed-method approach involving 20 students who were purposively selected as participants. Data were collected through observations, written tests, and in-depth interviews to obtain a comprehensive understanding of both the learning process and outcomes. The analysis was conducted using the Conceptual Framework (artist, artwork, world, and audience), The Four Frames (subjectivity, cultural, structural, and postmodern), and Cognitive Load Theory to understand the dynamics of students’ cognitive processes. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ analytical writing skills, classroom engagement, and understanding of cultural values embedded in artworks. In addition, students demonstrated stronger critical reflection and a high level of cognitive retention. These findings confirm that animation-based learning is effective not only as a visual medium but also as an integrative pedagogical approach.

Abstract

This article reviews the role of political ecology of young people in Cerekang Village who are part of the Cerekang Indigenous people. The Cerekang Indigenous People are an area that lives around the Cerekang river and Pismiaoni Hill, Manurung Luwu Village, East South Sulawesi. The Cerekang youth group that joined the Pejuang Muda Wija To Cerekang (PMWTC) has been contesting in its role in protecting the environment and customary territories from the destruction of the mining industry and the conversion of land into ponds within the framework of political ecology. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with PMWTC youth informants, heads of customary institutions, and local communities selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis is carried out in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. This article finds that the contestation of the Cerekang youth group is classified as a political ecological role that is consciously actively involved in organizing and maintaining customary forest areas in the form of spatial emancipation, transformative participation, and ecological schools. In terms of novelty, this research provides a framework for understanding the political role of indigenous youth based on environmental awareness. Thus, political ecology with a direct demonstration of traditional values that position themselves as the vanguard of the guardian of customary forest areas from the threat of massive and extractive environmental damage.

Abstract

Internal Quality Audit (AMI) is critical for Indonesian higher-education accreditation, yet study programs still score 60+ indicators manually by cross-referencing a 200-page Self-Evaluation Report (LED) and a 50-sheet Study Program Performance Report (LKPS), a process that takes 3–5 days per program and varies between assessors. This study develops an automated quality-assessment agent that ingests both documents and benchmarks three open-weight Large Language Models, Qwen 3.5 35B, DeepSeek-R1 32B, and Mistral-Small 3.2 24B, on 19 LAM-Teknik indicators sampled across all nine accreditation criteria (9 qualitative, 6 quantitative, 4 composite). The reference scores are taken from the certified human assessor's official record produced during the program's 2024 post-audit cycle. The results show that Qwen 3.5 attains the lowest MAE (0.605) and RMSE (0.769) with 100% within ±1 accuracy and 32.5 s per indicator; DeepSeek-R1 is the most cautious but the slowest (MAE 1.395; 79.9 s) and collapses on quantitative items (MAE 2.17); Mistral is the fastest (13.6 s).

Abstract

Homeschooling in Indonesia has developed from a marginal family-based practice into a legally recognized alternative pathway within the national education system. Yet research on its legality, pedagogy, digital mediation, and child development remains dispersed across different disciplines. Objective: This article synthesizes Indonesian homeschooling scholarship through a meta-narrative systematic review to identify the main research traditions, their assumptions, and their implications for policy and practice. Methods: Following RAMESES-oriented principles, literature published between 2014 and 2024 was searched in Google Scholar Indonesia, Garuda, SINTA, and related indexed sources using Indonesian and English keywords. Twelve Indonesia-focused studies were selected and mapped by focus, method, narrative tradition, and key findings. Findings: Three dominant narratives emerged: legal-administrative studies emphasize recognition, equivalence examinations, and PKBM procedures; socio-digital studies highlight ICT-supported autonomous learning and learning hubs; and psychological-developmental studies foreground flexibility, parental roles, agency, and well-being. Conclusion: Homeschooling offers adaptive learning but requires assessment models that protect autonomy while ensuring accountable quality.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of self-regulation on academic procrastination among Grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Kradenan. The study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design. The population consists of all 376 Grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Kradenan; a total sampling technique was used, meaning the entire population served as the research sample. Data were collected using a self-regulation scale based on Bandura's theory and an academic procrastination scale adapted from the Pure Procrastination Scale. Data analysis involved normality tests, linearity tests, and simple linear regression analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics software. The results indicate that self-regulation has a significant negative effect on academic procrastination, with a significance value of 0.000 and a regression coefficient of -0.430. Self-regulation contributes 34.8 percent to students' academic procrastination, while the remainder is influenced by factors outside the variables studied. It can be concluded that higher levels of student self-regulation are associated with a lower tendency to procrastinate on academic tasks. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for guidance and counseling teachers in designing appropriate services to help students improve their self-regulation skills.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) in education based on Jerome S. Arcaro’s framework and to formulate their practical implications for educational management. The research employed a library research method with a qualitative approach through content analysis of scientific literature, books, and relevant documents published between 2017 and 2026. The findings indicate that TQM in education is founded on five core principles: customer focus, total involvement, measurement, commitment, and continuous improvement. These principles operate as an integrated system that supports the enhancement of educational quality. However, their implementation continues to face various cultural and structural challenges, including organizational silos, hierarchical organizational cultures, limited data utilization, weak long-term commitment, and excessive administrative burdens. To address these challenges, educational institutions need to strengthen stakeholder participation, promote data-driven decision-making, reinforce quality assurance systems, ensure consistent leadership support, and implement continuous improvement cycles. The integration of these principles contributes to the development of a quality culture and a learning organization capable of adapting to changing educational demands and environmental dynamics.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the declining internalization of religious values, low discipline in worship practices, and weak self-control among students at MTs Darul Qur'an Wadda'wah Jayapura. Previous studies have examined art therapy and the integration of art into counseling; however, studies specifically developing an Islamic calligraphy-based counseling model to foster students' religious attitudes remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the implementation of a calligraphy-based counseling model in shaping students' religious attitudes. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings revealed that the calligraphy-based counseling model contributed positively to the development of students' religious attitudes through three main dimensions. First, the internalization of Qur'anic values, in which calligraphy helped students understand, internalize, and apply the messages of the Qur'an in their daily lives through writing and reflecting on selected verses. Second, spiritual awareness, whereby calligraphy provided meaningful experiences that fostered inner peace, strengthened students' closeness to Allah SWT, and increased their participation in religious activities. Third, religious self-regulation, as calligraphy activities cultivated patience, discipline, accuracy, responsibility, and emotional self-control through a writing process requiring concentration and perseverance. This study contributes to the enrichment of Islamic guidance and counseling scholarship through the utilization of spirituality-based art as an alternative approach to strengthening religious character in school settings.

Abstract

The demands of digitalization require Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers to integrate technology into their teaching to make the teaching-learning process more meaningful and students more active. This study aims to describe the use of Wordwall-based learning media in PAI instruction for students at SDN 20 Simpang Mandong, covering the implementation process, student engagement, as well as supporting and inhibiting factors. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The results indicate that the PAI teacher utilized a Wordwall word search template to assess student learning on the topic “Drawing Close to Allah through the Asmaul Husna,” which was designed and adapted by the teacher and then implemented using the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) instructional model. It was found that student enthusiasm was high and assessment results exceeded the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria (KKTP). The main supporting factor was the adequacy of school facilities and infrastructure, while the inhibiting factor was occasional Wi-Fi connection disruptions. This study concludes that the integration of Wordwall and the TGT model is an effective adaptive strategy for Islamic Education teachers in responding to the demands of digitization, while also providing theoretical and practical contributions to the development of digital-based Islamic Education learning assessment in non-urban elementary schools.
