THE MYSTERY OF THE RED SUITCASE: UNCOVERING THE CRIME OF HEINOUS MURDER WITH MUTILATION
This research focuses on the study of criminal law regulation in the positive legal system in Indonesia, as well as assessing the extent to which these regulations cover the crime of mutilation. In addition, this study also analyzes the application of the provisions of article 340 of the Criminal Code in the case of the "Red Suitcase" in Kediri with Decision Number 67/Pid.B/2025/PN Kdr. This research utilizes a normative juridical approach as the main method, namely a legal research approach that directs its main focus to the study of legal norms, legal principles, legal theories, and current laws and regulations. The results of the study revealed that until now, the crime of mutilation has not been specifically regulated in the Criminal Code. Therefore, prosecutors and judges usually apply article 338 or article 340 depending on the elements contained in the crime of mutilation. In case number 67/Pid.B/2025/PN Kdr, the defendant was tried for murder accompanied by mutilation, and was declared proven to meet all the elements listed in article 340 of the Criminal Code. As a result, the defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment as the maximum sanction other than the death penalty. This research can enrich the study of Indonesian criminal law by analyzing the legal basis of the crime of mutilation through a court decision, in the midst of the absence of special regulations regarding the criminal act.
COMMITMENT TO LEARNING MEDIATES THE INFLUENCE OF TIME MANAGEMENT AND WELLBEING ON STUDENT LEARNING INDEPENDENCE
In facing the demands of higher education in the 21st century digital era, student learning independence is the main key to academic and professional success. Time management and well-being play a crucial role in forming a learning commitment that supports optimal mastery of independence. Therefore, the essence of this study is designed to examine the influence of time management and well-being on student learning independence, with learning commitment as a mediating variable, specifically at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law (FIS-H) Makassar State University (UNM). This study chose a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) technique analyzed using SmartPLS software. A total of 100 active FIS-H UNM students were selected as respondents through proportionate stratified random sampling from a population of 4,150 students. This study used a Likert scale questionnaire of 1-5 to explore time management, well-being, learning independence and learning commitment, with indicators such as schedule preparation, personal growth, and intrinsic motivation. The research findings are expected to demonstrate a significant influence, both directly and indirectly, between time management and well-being on students' independent learning in the social sciences, with commitment to learning as the primary intermediary. This study concludes that independent learning is key for students in developing independent learning skills and strengthening their academic adaptation.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE PJBL ON LOCAL WISDOM OF BALINESE CUSTOMARY TRADITIONS ON CREATIVE THINKING SKILLS AND GOTONG ROYONG CHARACTER IN PANCASILA EDUCATION SUBJECT FOR FIFTH GRADE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
The purpose of this research is to determine the influence of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) Model Based on Local Wisdom of Balinese Traditional Traditions on the Ability to Think Creatively and Character of Mutual Cooperation in Pancasila Education Subjects in Grade V Elementary School Students. Quantitative research methods, types of pseudo-experimental research approaches, and Non-Equivalent Control Group Design experimental research designs. The research population consisted of 195 elementary school students. The research sample was taken with simple random sampling of the class intake obtained, namely SD Negeri 7 Sumerta as an experimental group, and SD Negeri 4 Sumerta as a control group, thus the total sample number in this study was 32 students from SD Negeri 7 Sumerta (experiment), and 32 students from SD Negeri 4 Sumerta (control), so that the total sample amounted to 64 students in class V. The data collection instruments were a questionnaire on the character of mutual cooperation and a test of creative thinking ability. The prerequisite test for data analysis consisted of a normality test, a variance homogeneity test, a covariance matrix homogeneity, a correlation test between variables, a linearlity test, and an outlier test. Hypothesis testing was carried out with MANOVA. The results showed that the F value was 17.543 with a significance level of 0.000 in Pillai's Trace, Wilks' Lambda, Hotelling's Trace, and Roy's Largest Root. The Sig. value < 0.05 which means that there is a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group simultaneously in the two dependent variables. The conclusion is that the PJBL model based on local wisdom of Balinese traditional traditions has a significant effect on students' creative thinking skills and mutual cooperation character. The suggestion for the next research is to be able to carry out experimental research by integrating local wisdom with learning models that are relevant to the demands of the times in other learning.
LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENT WORKSHEET BASED ON MIKIR STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE NUMERACY ABILITIES
Mathematical numeracy skills are essential competencies needed by students to understand and solve contextual problems in everyday life. However, various assessment results indicate that the numeracy skills of junior high school students in Indonesia are still relatively low, necessitating innovation in mathematics learning. One effort that can be done is through the development of Student Worksheets (SW) that are systematically designed and oriented towards students' thinking processes. This article aims to systematically review the research literature related to SW development, mathematical numeracy skills, and the potential integration of the MIKiR (Experience, Interaction, Communication, and Reflection) strategy in junior high school mathematics learning. The research method used is a systematic literature review of journal articles. The results of the study indicate that contextual SW can improve students' numeracy skills, but most studies have not integrated learning strategies explicitly into the SW design. This study confirms a research gap related to the development of SW based on the MIKiR strategy to improve junior high school students' mathematical numeracy skills
SCENARIO ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY IN THE UTILIZATION OF PUBLIC SPACE (CASE STUDY: KEBUN BUNGAN STADIUM MEDAN)
Kebun Bunga Stadium is one of public spaces provided by the Government of Medan. Over time, there has been a decline in performance including facilities that are starting become obsolete and limited sports infrastructure due to lack of maintenance. Therefore under these conditions, Kebun Bunga Stadium was revitalized as a form of effort to meet the training infrastructure for athletes in order to realize the capital of North Sumatera as a city of athletes. The revitalization is multi-year contract used regional budget (APBD) 2023 and 2024 with a total cost are Rp. 191,665,325,000. Kebun Bunga Stadium has several facilities such as an international-standard soccer field, tennis courts, volleyball courts, rock climbing walls, a skate park, a gym, a playground, an indoor sports field, a water park, a jogging track, and others. After revitalization, there are several sports facilities will be subject to fees, which will be used as a buffer for maintenance costs and a source of regional revenue. However, there is no clear information about public perception of these fees. Furthermore, every project supported by government must generate economic and social benefits for the community. Therefore, the benefits obtained must be greater than the costs incurred in order to support the sustainable facility. To understand this issue, a questionnaire was distributed to determine the public perception fees and scenario analysis of economic feasibility to ensure the feasibility and sustainability of the public space.
SOEHARTO MUSEUM AS AN EDUCATIONAL MEDIUM: A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS AND CHALLENGES IN HISTORY EDUCATION
This research is motivated by students’ low interest in history lessons, which is often caused by monotonous teaching methods. The research questions include: (1) How is the experience of learning history at the Soeharto Museum? (2) What materials and media are presented? and (3) What are the effectiveness and challenges of history learning in this museum? The objectives of this study are: (1) to describe the history learning experience at the Soeharto Museum, (2) to identify the materials and media used, and (3) to analyze the effectiveness and challenges encountered. This qualitative research was conducted through interviews with museum managers and visitors, non-participant observation, and documentation. The findings show that: (1) the Soeharto Museum is effective as a medium for historical education that is both empirical and affective, through collections, visual narratives, documentary films, and guided tours; (2) the materials and media, including interactive storytelling, discussions of values, national songs, and reflection activities, are tailored to visitors’ age levels, thus engaging cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains; (3) the museum’s effectiveness is evidenced by positive responses from visitors and educational institutions, and by the adoption of similar methods by other museums. This experience- and emotion-based approach aligns with constructivist theory, although the main challenge remains maintaining relevance in the digital era. The museum addresses this through technological innovation and communicative educators.This research highlights the importance of collaboration between schools and museums to make history learning more contextual, reflective, and adaptive. The Soeharto Museum serves as an effective educational medium by integrating traditional and digital approaches to foster nationalism and historical awareness among younger generations.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNOLOGY ON THE MOTIVATION TO LEARN ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS
Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning in secondary schools is still often conducted using conventional methods, resulting in suboptimal student participation and learning motivation. The development of educational technology provides opportunities to create more interactive learning experiences, one of which is through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of AR-based learning in improving students learning motivation in PAI subjects at Vocational High School (SMK). This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design and purposive sampling technique. The research subject cosisted of 46 students divided into an experimental group (n = 21) and a control group (n = 25). Learning motivation was measured using a questionnaire based on the ARCS model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satifaction). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics (Mean and N-Gain), and inferential statistics, including prerequisite tests, paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, complemented by effect size analysis using cohen’s d. The result indicated a significant difference in learning motivation between the experimental and control groups after treatment (p < 0.0001) with a cohen’s d value of 1.767, indicating a large effect size. These findings suggest that AR-based learning is effective in enhancing students learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education.
NEGOTIATING GENDER ROLES IN CULTURE-BASED CREATIVE ECONOMIES: A STUDY OF THE KAMPOENG LAMA TOURISM VILLAGE COMMUNITY, DELI SERDANG REGENCY
This study aims to analyze the influence of gender equality and community participation on affirmative economic development in the tourism village of Hariara Pohan, with tourism village sustainability functioning as a mediating variable. The objective is to understand how social empowerment and cultural governance contribute to equitable and long-term economic benefits in community-based tourism. The research used a quantitative survey method and involved 165 respondents who were actively engaged in tourism and local creative economy activities. A structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale was administered, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess both direct and indirect causal relationships among the studied variables. The results indicate that gender equality and community participation significantly enhance tourism village sustainability, particularly through strengthened decision-making roles, cultural heritage protection, and collective responsibility. Both variables also directly influence affirmative economic development by improving micro-enterprise growth, access to capital, and fair distribution of tourism income across households. Furthermore, tourism village sustainability mediates these relationships, demonstrating that social empowerment leads to stable economic outcomes when supported by cultural preservation and environmental stewardship. In conclusion, the study underscores that sustainable and inclusive tourism development requires not only economic planning, but also equitable participation, gender-balanced leadership, and strong cultural identity. These elements are essential for building resilient rural tourism economies.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MERIT SYSTEM IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN SOUTH BURU REGENCY
This study examines the implementation of the merit system in the promotion and transfer of civil servants within the Regional Secretariat of South Buru Regency, Indonesia. Despite formal regulations mandating merit-based human resource management, personnel decisions in local governments often remain vulnerable to political influence. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this study applies the policy implementation framework of Van Meter and Van Horn to analyze policy standards, resources, inter-organizational communication, and implementer disposition. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving key administrative actors. The findings reveal that although merit system standards are clearly regulated and widely acknowledged, their implementation remains largely symbolic. Limited human resource capacity, fragmented personnel data systems, weak coordination, and inconsistent commitment among implementing actors undermine substantive compliance. Political considerations continue to shape promotion and transfer decisions, negatively affecting professionalism, employee morale, and organizational effectiveness. This study contributes to public administration literature by demonstrating how political dynamics and institutional constraints hinder merit system implementation at the local level and highlights the need for stronger operational guidelines, capacity building, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.

SERVICE QUALITY, STORE ATMOSPHERE, AND PRODUCT VARIETY ON CONSUMER PURCHASE DECISIONS AT TOKO SEMBAKO BU SRIYU KEDIRI
This research investigates how service quality, store atmosphere, and product variety affect customer purchase choices at Toko Sembako Bu Sriyu in Kediri City. A quantitative approach was adopted, gathering data through surveys from 200 previous store customers selected via purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS was applied to the data. The partial analysis (t-test) revealed that neither service quality nor store atmosphere significantly impacts purchasing decisions. In contrast, product variety demonstrated a positive and significant effect. Simultaneous testing (F-test) confirmed that, taken together, all three variables significantly influence purchase decisions. Nevertheless, the model's explanatory power is limited, as shown by a low R² value of 0.043, implying that factors outside this study account for most of the variance in consumer decisions. This analysis confirms that product variety is the key factor driving purchasing behavior among grocery store consumers. This study intends to contribute practical knowledge to retail marketing management literature and to provide actionable guidance for grocery retailers seeking to refine their marketing strategies.

This case study provides valuable insights into how character education can be a powerful tool in reshaping school culture and enhancing the holistic development of students.
Strategic Communication and Religious Tolerance in Multicultural Societies: A Bibliometric Review from Scopus Database
Religious tolerance is essential for sustaining social cohesion in multicultural societies shaped by globalization and digital communication. Strategic communication contributes to inclusive narratives and interfaith understanding, yet research integrating these domains remains fragmented. This study systematically maps the intellectual structure, research trends, and gaps in strategic communication and religious tolerance scholarship using a bibliometric approach. A descriptive quantitative analysis examined 290 Scopus-indexed publications published between 1985 and 2025. Citation analysis, co-authorship mapping, and keyword co-occurrence were applied to identify dominant themes, influential contributors, and knowledge structures. The findings indicate a highly centralized research landscape dominated by Western countries, particularly the United States and Australia. Public relations emerges as the principal conceptual framework linking organizational, community, and institutional communication, while religious tolerance is often treated implicitly rather than as a core analytical concept. The study reveals limited representation of non-Western contexts, highlighting a significant research gap and opportunities for more inclusive).
THE ROLE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN SUPPORTING STUDENT DISCIPLINE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
Physical Education has strategic potential in shaping elementary school students' discipline due to its activity-based learning characteristics, rules, and direct experience. This study aims to analyze the role of Physical Education in shaping elementary school students' discipline through the learning process that takes place in the school environment. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The research subjects included Physical Education teachers and elementary school students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, learning observations, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions by applying triangulation of sources and techniques to ensure data validity. The results of the study indicate that the formation of student discipline through Physical Education takes place through teacher role models, the application of clear and consistent learning rules, and the habituation of disciplined behavior integrated into physical activities. Students learn to understand the meaning of discipline through direct experience that links orderly behavior with the smooth running of learning activities. This study concludes that Physical Education not only functions as a means of developing physical abilities, but also as an effective vehicle for internalizing the value of discipline in the learning lives of elementary school students.
LINKING CARBON DISCLOSURE AND CARBON PERFORMANCE TO FIRM VALUE: AN INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE CREATION MODEL
This study investigates the impact of financial flexibility, CSR disclosure, carbon emission reporting, and carbon performance on the valuation of Indonesian energy firms (2019-2023), moderated by corporate governance. To address the research objectives, a quantitative framework was utilized through panel data regression analysis with STATA 15. This study comprised 42 energy sector companies, selected via purposive sampling. The findings elucidate that financial slack has an influential positive effect on firm value, while CSRD has no direct effect but becomes influential when moderated by corporate governance. CED has an influential positive effect on firm value, while CP demonstrates no measurable impact. These findings confirm that transparency of social and environmental information is more valued by the market than actual environmental performance in creating sustainable value.
MINDFUL LEARNING STRATEGIES IN SUPPORTING THE MENTAL WELL-BEING OF SLOW LEARNERS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Mindful learning strategies act as a relevant learning approach for slow learners who need a calmer, more conscious and focused learning approach to support their mental well-being.

The validity of the data in this study is through source triangulation and technique triangulation. The data analysis technique is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study showed that (1) mindful learning was applied through: simple breathing exercises, teaching that focused on one activity in full, self-reflection after learning; (2) Factors supporting implementation include teacher support, classroom atmosphere, suitability of learning methods, and support from schools, while inhibiting factors include time constraints, variations in students' abilities, and unstable environmental atmosphere
PROTECTION OF LINEAGE (HIFZ AL-NASL) IN DETERMINING THE LEGAL PARENTAGE OF CHILDREN BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK: A NORMATIVE ANALYSIS AND JUDICIAL PRACTICE OF THE PRINGSEWU RELIGIOUS COURT
Focused on the Islamic principle of hifz al-nasl, this study has a dual aim: first, to analyze the framework for establishing the legal parentage of children born out of wedlock, and second, to scrutinize related judicial practices at the Pringsewu Religious Court. The research applies a normative juridical method, utilizing statutory, conceptual, and case study approaches to examine laws, the Compilation of Islamic Law, and court decisions. Analysis is conducted through grammatical and systematic interpretation. According to the study, judicial practice at the Pringsewu Religious Court involves two distinct methods for establishing parental lineage. The first, a normative-preventive method, ties the child's legal status directly to the lawful nature of the parents' marriage, effectively preventing children born from invalid unions from being recognized as legitimate. In contrast, the normative–progressive approach grants legal protection by affirming the child’s biological parentage, ensuring legal certainty, identity, and safeguarding the child’s rights. This practice is concretely reflected in Case Number 57/Pdt.P/2024/PA.Prw and Case Number 28/Pdt.P/2025/PA.Prw, and demonstrates the court's effort to balance the enforcement of Islamic family law norms with child protection in accordance with the principles of maqasid shariah, specifically ḥifẓ al-nasl.
BUILDING A SUPERIOR SCHOOL IDENTITY: THE ROLE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND TEACHER COMPETENCE IN STRENGTHENING SCHOOL BRANDING
In an era of increasingly competitive education, schools are not only required to excel academically but also to have a strong image and identity in the community. This study used a literature review method. The results of relevant research discuss the relationship between leadership, teacher competency, and school branding strategies. The study shows that the principal's transformational leadership plays a crucial role in creating a vision and organizational culture that supports the strengthening of school identity. A visionary, inspiring, and participatory principal can increase teacher motivation and build a positive and innovative school climate. Meanwhile, teacher competency has a direct influence on the effectiveness of school branding, as teachers represent the school's values, quality, and character in the eyes of the community. Teachers who are professional, creative, and possess communication skills and mastery of information technology can significantly enhance a school's positive image.
SHIFTS IN VOTER BEHAVIOR AND THE ELECTORAL CHALLENGES FACING PKB IN THE 2024 DEMAK LOCAL ELECTION
Recent developments in Indonesia’s local democracy reveal a reconfiguration of voter behavior that challenges assumptions about the durability of identity-based electoral loyalty. This article analyzes the electoral defeat of the National Awakening Party (PKB) in the 2024 Demak local election as an empirical anomaly, given the party’s strong socio-religious embeddedness and its electoral dominance in the simultaneous legislative election within the same district. Rather than attributing the outcome solely to organizational weakness, the study situates PKB’s loss within broader shifts in voter rationality, the declining mobilizational capacity of religious identity, and structural constraints shaping local party performance. Employing a qualitative, narrative-based literature review, the article engages with scholarship on voting behavior, Islamic political mobilization, party institutional functions, and subnational democratic competition in Indonesia. The analysis demonstrates that voters increasingly evaluate candidates and parties through pragmatic, contextual, and performance-oriented considerations, thereby weakening the determinative role of Nahdlatul Ulama based identity appeals. Concurrently, deficiencies in candidate recruitment, limited campaign adaptability, and coordination challenges within broad electoral coalitions constrained PKB’s capacity to convert symbolic legitimacy and organizational networks into effective electoral support. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the declining electoral relevance of religious identity and emphasizing adaptive party organization in local Indonesian politics contemporary.
AN ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT IN ECONOMICS AT A VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
This study investigates students’ learning achievement in Economics among Grade XI students at a vocational high school, where Economics functions as an adaptive subject within the curriculum. The study was motivated by preliminary observations indicating uneven achievement, particularly in calculation-based economic topics. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, involving 68 students from the Accounting and Office Management programs selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through documentation of students’ daily assessment scores and a diagnostic test focusing on selected Economics topics. Supporting data were obtained through classroom observations and structured interviews with the Economics teacher. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive percentage techniques by classifying students’ scores into achievement categories. The results indicate that the average learning achievement score was 76.4, categorized as “Good.” However, 22% of students did not meet the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). Further analysis shows that students performed better in theoretical topics than in calculation-based materials, and Accounting students achieved higher average scores than Office Management students. These findings suggest that although overall learning achievement is satisfactory, targeted instructional strategies are required to improve students’ understanding of quantitative Economics concepts in vocational education contexts.

IMPLEMENTATION OF DEEP LEARNING, LEARNING ENGAGEMENT, AND EMOTIONAL REGULATION ON THE IMPROVEMENT OF CRITICAL THINKING AND COLLABORATION AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Contemporary education faces substantial challenges in preparing elementary students for twenty-first century competencies, necessitating transformative pedagogical approaches beyond conventional instruction. This quasi-experimental investigation examined the influence of deep learning pedagogy on critical thinking abilities and collaborative competencies among fifth-grade elementary students, by student engagement and emotional regulation hypothesized as mediating mechanisms. Forty participants were systematically allocated into experimental and control cohorts, receiving deep learning intervention and conventional instruction respectively across an eight-week duration. Quantitative analysis utilizing ANCOVA revealed statistically significant enhancement in critical thinking (F = 58.743, p < 0.001, partial η² = 0.614) and collaboration (F = 52.186, p < 0.001, partial η² = 0.586) inside of the experimental cohort. Path analysis confirmed partial mediation effects, by student engagement mediating 42.8% of critical thinking variance and 40.3% of collaboration variance, while emotional regulation mediated 29.9% and 31.2% respectively. Structural equation modeling demonstrated acceptable model fit (CFI = 0.942, RMSEA = 0.068), explaining 71.3% of critical thinking variance and 68.7% of collaboration variance. Qualitative observations documented progressive transformation in classroom discourse patterns, collaborative behaviors, and metacognitive awareness. Findings provide empirical substantiation for deep learning implementation in elementary contexts, highlighting interconnected roles of behavioral participation, emotional investment, cognitive strategy deployment, and affective regulation in fostering higher-order thinking and interpersonal competencies essential for future-ready learners.

ACADEMIC SUPERVISION AND TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF PRINCIPAL PRACTICE IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
This study aims to examine the implementation of academic supervision conducted by the principal in improving teachers’ pedagogical competence at SD Negeri Jombor, Jumo District. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to explore the planning, implementation, follow-up, and impact of academic supervision on teachers’ pedagogical practices. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving the principal and teachers. The data were analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that academic supervision has been implemented through structured planning and classroom observation; however, it has not been carried out optimally due to limited time, uneven supervision frequency, and the absence of systematic follow-up programs. Academic supervision contributes positively to improving teachers’ pedagogical competence, particularly in lesson planning and instructional implementation, although improvements in student-centered learning and assessment practices remain limited. The study highlights the importance of needs-based, collaborative, and continuous academic supervision to enhance teachers’ pedagogical competence effectively.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FREE NUTRITIOUS FOOD PROGRAM AND THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION: AN EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE IN INDONESIA
The Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program is a strategic policy intervention designed to improve students' nutritional status, thereby supporting the quality of education in Indonesia. However, empirical evidence suggests that the impact of school meal programs on educational outcomes is not always direct or uniform, because these outcomes are influenced by various mediating and moderating factors. This article aims to synthesize scientific evidence on the implementation of the MBG and its implications for educational quality from an educational management perspective. This study uses a systematic qualitative review approach to empirical publications published between 2004 and 2025. Of the 266 documents identified through database searches and citation chains, the 50 most relevant articles were analyzed in depth using thematic analysis. The synthesis results indicate that MBG contributes to improvements in students' nutritional and health status, thereby enhancing prerequisites for learning, such as attendance, concentration, motivation, and class participation. The causal pathway from improved nutritional status to academic achievement is non-linear and is mediated by other factors, including the quality of teaching, the learning environment, and students' socio-economic conditions. The findings confirm that variations in MBG's impact across regions are primarily explained by differences in the quality of managerial implementation, cross-sectoral coordination capacity, sensitivity to the socio-cultural context, and the level of stakeholder engagement. This article proposes a conceptual model of MBG implementation in which implementation management directly influences both nutritional status and learning readiness, which act as mediators, while regional context and stakeholder engagement serve as moderators for these relationships. These findings contribute to the education policy literature by clarifying the mechanisms through which school feeding programs operate as educational management policies and as investments in human resource development.
ETHICS OF GADGET USE AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS: A REVIEW FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY
The increase in gadget use among elementary school students is a phenomenon that is not only pedagogical and psychological in nature, but also has complex ethical implications. This article aims to examine the use of gadgets among elementary school children through a critical synthesis of various moral philosophy perspectives within the framework of technoethics, so that technology is not understood merely as a learning tool, but as an agent that shapes children's habits, social relationships, and value orientations. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on PRISMA standards on 22 scientific articles published in the last five years and sourced from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink databases. The analysis was conducted using a thematic approach to integrate empirical findings with the perspectives of deontological ethics, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, care ethics, discourse ethics, responsibility ethics, and family ethics. The results showed that unethical gadget use has the potential to reduce empathy, weaken social interaction, disrupt cognitive function, and hinder the formation of children's moral character. From a technological ethics perspective, these findings confirm that the effectiveness of educational technology cannot be separated from the moral responsibility of adults as technology controllers. This article concludes that the use of gadgets by elementary school students should be viewed as a moral practice that requires a normative and conceptual framework, not merely technical regulations, so that technology can contribute positively to the human and moral development of children.
DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOPRENEURSHIP LEARNING TOOLS IN VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF MODELS, COMPONENTS, AND IMPLICATIONS
This study aims to map the trends in the development of technopreneurship learning tools in Vocational High Schools by analyzing the development models, core components, and pedagogical implications to identify research gaps. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA approach and PICo framework, this study selected five relevant articles from Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and Dimensions databases for the period 2021-2025. The results of the data analysis show that the ADDIE and Borg & Gall development models are the most dominant because of their systematic structure in ensuring technical and pedagogical quality. The main components of the learning tool focus on three main aspects: digital technology integration, strengthening 21st-century skills (4Cs), and technical mastery of entrepreneurial management. Pedagogically, the implementation of these tools has been proven effective in improving student learning outcomes, motivation, and independence, as well as transforming the role of teachers into facilitators in the digital ecosystem. Despite the positive impact, a research gap was found in that current development is still limited to independent modules and has not touched on the formation of a comprehensive digital entrepreneurship ecosystem to overcome the low level of students' digital-preneurship skills in the field.

Second, the law enforcement mechanism is multi-layered, from pre-action to enforcement, with the Police Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as the primary guideline. Third, inhibiting factors include uneven human resource capacity in understanding human rights, the existence of ambiguous articles, political intervention, and a repressive legal culture. Supporting factors include the constitutional basis of the 1955 Constitution and Law No. 9/1998 as the legal basis.
THE ROLE OF MARITIME AND COMMERCIAL PILLARS: THE GLORY OF THE MAJAPAHIT KINGDOM IN 1350-1389
This study examines the important role of maritime power and trade in supporting the political and economic supremacy of the Majapahit Kingdom during the reign of Hayam Wuruk (1350–1389 AD). Using historical literature research methods, this study went through four stages, namely heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The results of the study show that Majapahit successfully integrated a strong maritime defense system with a structured trade network. The kingdom strategically positioned its naval forces in various maritime zones and optimized river infrastructure, particularly the Brantas and Bengawan Solo rivers, to connect inland production areas with major ports such as Canggu, Tuban, Gresik, and Surabaya. Additionally, Majapahit applied the diplomatic principle of Mitreka Satata in establishing peaceful and stable relations with regional and inter-regional kingdoms, such as China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. This approach created a safe and profitable trading environment. As a result, Majapahit emerged as a dominant maritime and commercial power in the 14th century, demonstrating that the maritime and trade sectors were the cornerstone of the kingdom's prosperity

THE EFFECT OF PROJECT BASED LEARNING MODEL WITH WAMENA LOCAL WISDOM ON LEARNING OUTCOMES AND PROBLEM SOLVING OF GRADE V ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN WAMENA
This study examines the effects of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with Wamena local wisdom on elementary students’ learning outcomes and problem-solving skills. Integrating culturally relevant pedagogy into innovative learning models is expected to enhance meaningful learning, particularly in remote regions with strong local traditions. A quasi-experimental design employing a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group was used. The participants were 112 fifth-grade students from two elementary schools in Wamena, Indonesia. Data were collected using learning outcome tests and problem-solving assessments and analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results indicate significant differences in learning outcomes and problem-solving skills between students taught using PjBL integrated with local wisdom and those taught using conventional learning models. Students in the PjBL group achieved higher scores in both dependent variables. These findings demonstrate that integrating local wisdom into project-based learning enhances students’ conceptual understanding and problem-solving abilities. This study contributes to elementary education literature by highlighting the pedagogical value of culturally contextualized project-based learning in improving learning quality in geographically and culturally distinctive regions.
UTILIZATION OF VILLAGE POTENTIAL FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN BELITAR SEBANG VILLAGE
Sustainable tourism development still often uses a needs-based approach, so it does not optimize the assets that local communities already have. This study aims to analyze the strategy of utilizing local potential through the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach in building sustainable tourist destinations in Belitar Sebang Village. A descriptive qualitative research method with a case study strategy was applied, where data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study identified three strategic asset clusters, namely unique natural assets (such as the dichotomy of hot and cold waterfalls), living cultural assets (including the art of Kuda Lumping and palm sugar production), and artificial assets that are integrated with the environment. The scientific contribution of this research lies in the provision of an ABCD-based analytical framework that integrates the dichotomous assets of nature and culture as the foundation of destination competitiveness. The study's conclusions show that development effectiveness is highly dependent on collaborative governance that empowers all local assets, where the ABCD approach offers a relevant conceptual foundation for achieving economic and socio-cultural sustainability

THE INFLUENCE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND INTRINSIC MOTIVATION ON STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT WITH DIFFERENTIATED LEARNING AS A MODERATION VARIABLE AT UPT SMPN IN BANGKALA DISTRICT, JENEPONTO REGENCY
This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional intelligence, intrinsic motivation, and differentiated instruction on students’ academic achievement, as well as to examine the moderating role of differentiated instruction among students of UPT SMPN in Bangkala District, Jeneponto Regency. The background of this research arises from the persistent issue of low academic performance, which is presumed to be associated with students’ emotional competence, learning motivation, and the implementation of instructional practices that have not fully accommodated diverse learning needs. A quantitative approach was employed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS 4.The results indicate that emotional intelligence has a positive and significant effect on academic achievement. Intrinsic motivation also demonstrates a positive and significant influence on students’ academic performance. Furthermore, differentiated instruction significantly affects academic achievement, suggesting that instructional strategies tailored to students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles contribute toimproved learning outcomes. The moderation analysis shows that differentiated instruction strengthens the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement; however, it does not moderate the effect of intrinsic motivation on academic achievement. Overall, this study affirms the importance of enhancing students’ emotional competence, fostering intrinsic motivation, and implementing differentiated instruction to improve academic performance at the junior secondary level. These findings provide valuable implications for teachers, schools, and policymakers in designing more adaptive and student-centered instructional practices.
DISASTER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION COMMUNICATION MITIGATION (ACEH TAMIANG CASE STUDY)
This study aims to analyze in-depth public perceptions and assessments of organizational communication mitigation in disaster management in Aceh Tamiang Regency, specifically regarding information clarity, speed of message delivery, inter-agency coordination, and the level of public trust in disaster information received. Furthermore, this study aims to identify and evaluate various communication media used in disaster mitigation, both conventional and information technology-based, and assess their effectiveness in improving preparedness, risk understanding, and community response to disasters. This study employed a case study approach, with documentation as the data collection technique. The researchers also employed domain analysis, and triangulation as a data validity check technique. The results indicate that the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) has implemented organizational communication mitigation in Aceh Tamiang Regency through the use of social media, specifically the Instagram account @bpbd_acehtamiang, as the primary channel for disseminating disaster information, from early warnings of extreme weather events and evacuation activities to post-tropical cyclone Sinyar data updates. However, the research findings also revealed significant limitations in the effectiveness of this communication mitigation, primarily due to the limited human resources of the BPBD, which are not commensurate with the population of Aceh Tamiang, weak cross-agency coordination, and the suboptimal use of other communication media such as TikTok and YouTube, which tend to be passive and ceremonial. Public perceptions indicated dissatisfaction with the speed of response and distribution of post-disaster aid, which was considered slow and fraught with image interests, as well as the lack of structural and non-structural mitigation efforts such as area-based early warning, environmental management, and forest rehabilitation. Overall, the results of this study confirm that the communication mitigation of the Aceh Tamiang BPBD organization has not been carried out in an integrated, sustainable, and community-oriented manner, thus requiring strengthening the communication system, increasing institutional capacity, and a more educational and participatory media strategy
STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF IMAGERY IN THE POETRY COLLECTION OF SLEEPING SONGS BY AMA GASPAR
This study aims to describe the type, distribution, and tendency of the use of imagery in the collection of poems Lagu Sleep by Ama Gaspar as a representation of the aesthetic strategy of contemporary Indonesian poetry. The focus of the research is directed at six types of imagery, namely visual, hearing, smell, taste, tactile and movement images, which play an important role in building the reader’s aesthetic meaning and experience. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a type of literature research. The data source is in the form of a collection of poems Sleeping Song by Ama Gaspar which contains 82 poems, with 52 poems selected as research data based on the completeness and clarity of the imagery elements. Data in the form of words, phrases, and expressions were analyzed using content analysis techniques through the stages of identification, classification, and interpretation of images. The validity of the data is maintained through repeated reading and checking the consistency of classification by peer researchers. The results of the study showed that 151 imaging data were found spread across six types of images, with details: 50 data visual images, 35 data auditory images, 32 motion images, 18 sensory images, 10 sensory images, and 6 sensory images. Visual imagery is the most dominant type, characterized by visual depictions of objects, light, colors, and spaces that function to concretize the inner experience of the lyrical figure. Auditory and motion imagery support mood dynamics and emotional conflict, while other imagery enriches layers of affective and symbolic meaning. The discussion suggests that the dominance of visual imagery reflects the tendency of visuality in contemporary poetry, while other variations of imagery show the use of human sensory experience as the primary poetic strategy. The novelty of this research lies in the comprehensive mapping of all types of imagery and its tendency to dominate contemporary poetry works that are relatively new and have not been studied stylistically, especially the work of Ama Gaspar. These findings contribute to the development of the study of the stylistics of Indonesian poetry and can be used as a reference in literary learning.
DEVELOPING DESCRIPTIVE TEXT TEACHING MATERIAL BASED ON LOCAL WISDOM FOR STUDENTS OF SMPN 2 SETIA JANJI
This study aims to develop English descriptive text teaching materials based on the local wisdom of Asahan Regency using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model and to examine the feasibility of the materials as well as students’ responses toward their implementation. The study is motivated by students’ low achievement and limited interest in learning descriptive texts, which are largely caused by the use of generic teaching materials that are not contextualized to students’ real-life experiences. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design consisting of needs analysis, material design, product development, expert validation, and limited field testing at SMP Negeri 2 Setia Janji. Data were collected through classroom observations, questionnaires, and interviews, and were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques. The findings indicate that the developed teaching materials were considered valid and feasible by material and media experts. The results of the field testing also reveal an improvement in students’ engagement, learning motivation, and understanding of the structure and vocabulary of descriptive texts. Integrating local wisdom within the PBL framework enables students to connect language learning with their cultural and environmental contexts. Therefore, the developed materials are effective as contextual and meaningful English learning resources that support the development of 21st-century skills and strengthen the Pancasila Student Profile.
OPTIMISATION OF AVIATION HUMAN RESOURCES: THE ROLE OF TRAINING, DISCIPLINE AND JOB SATISFACTION IN ENSURING FLIGHT SAFETY
Commercial aviation has experienced significant growth in recent years; in 2024, passenger growth reached 54.76 million. This is inseparable from supporting factors such as aviation security, where Aviation Security personnel serve as a strategic element responsible for flight safety. However, the performance of Aviation Security personnel at Terminal 3 still faces obstacles. Field phenomena indicate low work discipline with an average lateness rate of 35.83% and a competency urgency where 96% of personnel require additional training. Additionally, a pre- research survey revealed a job satisfaction level of 76% and performance realization of 68%, both still below the management standard of 90%. The objective of this study is to analyze the factors influencing the performance of these Avsec personnel, specifically at Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport. The sample consists of 200 respondents determined using a saturated sampling technique, focusing on Aviation Security personnel assigned to Security Check Point 2. Data collection utilized an online questionnaire instrument. Data analysis was undertaken employing SEM-PLS 4. On the basis of the analytical outcomes, it may be adduced that, with respect to direct effects, training exerts a positive and statistically significant influence on performance, whereas work discipline does not manifest a positive effect on performance. Nonetheless, in regard to indirect effects, both training and work discipline evince a positive and significant influence on the performance of Aviation Security personnel when their effects are channelled through the mediating construct of job satisfaction. The research implications suggest that increased training activities, work discipline behavior, and job satisfaction impact performance, thereby enhancing the performance of Aviation Security personnel as the front line of aviation security operations.
THE MEANING OF HAWĀ IN THE QUR'AN PERSPECTIVE OF TAFSIR FI ZHILALIL QUR'AN BY SAYYID QUTHB AND ITS RELEVANCE TO ADULTERY
This study examines the meaning of the word al-hawā in the Qur'an, the perspective of Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur'an by Sayyid Quthb and its relevance to Adultery. The phrase al-hawā is one of the important terms in the Qur'an that has various meanings and moral implications in human life. In the Qur'an, al-hawā is not only understood as a desire or impulse of the soul, but also as an inner tendency that if not controlled can drag people to moral deviations, including adultery. This study aims to analyze Sayyid Quthb's interpretation of the pronunciation of al-hawā, understand its implications on human behavior, and explain its relevance to the phenomenon of Adultery in the moral and spiritual perspective of Islam. This research is a library research with a qualitative approach and thematic method (maudhu'i). The primary data source is Tafsir Fi Zhilalil Qur'an by Sayyid Quthb, while secondary data sources come from relevant tafsir books, books, and scientific literature. The data analysis technique was carried out through descriptive-analytical analysis of the verses of the Qur'an that contain the utterance of al-hawā. The results of the study show that Sayyid Quthb interprets al-hawā as the desire of the soul that tends to drive people to transgressions, acts beyond the limits, and disobedience. According to him, following the hawā of lust is the root of moral and civilizational damage, when hawā is used as a standard of truth instead of revelation, injustice, moral deviation, and the destruction of the social order are born. Its relevance to Adultery lies in the view that it is a manifestation of the domination of lust over faith and reason. Therefore, controlling the desires of lust by structurally improving the order of life can prevent the occurrence of adultery.
THE ROLE OF PARENTING IN LIMITING THE RISK OF NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE AUD SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT IN KB/RA BINA MUTIARA HATI SEMARANG
This study aims to investigate the role of parental parenting in limiting the negative influence of the social environment on early childhood development. The background of this research departs from the phenomenon of increasing the negative influence of the social environment that can have an impact on children's behavior and social development. The purpose of the study was to analyze the influence of various parenting models, namely permissive, authoritarian, and democratic, on children's social resilience. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews and direct observation of parents and children at KB/RA Bina Mutiara Hati Semarang on October 1 – November 10, 2025. The results of the study show that democratic parenting is more effective in forming children's social resilience to negative environmental influences, while permissive and authoritarian parenting is less optimal in achieving it. These findings highlight the importance of a parenting approach that involves two-way communication and mutual understanding in shaping a child's character. The novelty of this research lies in the emphasis on the function of parenting as a protection against negative social influences that have not been explored much in the previous literature.
ADAPTIVE GOVERNANCE IN POVERTY ALLEVIATION EFFORTS THROUGH ECOTOURISM AT NGERONG CAVE IN RENGEL VILLAGE
This study discusses poverty alleviation efforts through ecotourism in Rengel Village, Rengel District, Tuban Regency. This study aims to analyse the application of adaptive governance in poverty alleviation efforts through Ngerong Cave Ecotourism in Rengel Village. This research method used a descriptive qualitative approach and data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the adaptive governance theory from Sharma-Wallace (2018), the study results lie on the eight indicator: collaboration, coordination, social capital development, community empowerment and involvement, capacity building, connecting knowledge and decision-making through data collection, improving leadership capacity, and utilizing or creating governance opportunities. The findings reveal that efforts to alleviate poverty through Ngerong Cave Ecotourism have not shown significant improvement in poverty caused by lack of collaboration among various parties, the lack of community empowerment and involvement, and the absence of proactive measures to create governance opportunities. On the other hand, managers have coordinated professionally, built substantial social capital, increased capacity, and made decisions in accordance with the adaptive governance approach. This study contributes to expanding the literature on adaptive governance used in rural ecotourism as an effort to reduce poverty.
LEGAL PROTECTION OF ADOPTED CHILDREN’S RIGHTS UNDER THE CIVIL CODE AND ISLAMIC INHERITANCE LAW
Child adoption transcends mere legal formality, representing a profound social and humanitarian responsibility. Its core must be the child’s best interests, not just fulfilling parental desires, thereby offering children a path to a more prosperous life. This research employs a normative juridical method, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches to compare the legal protection of adopted children’s rights under the Civil Code and Islamic Inheritance Law. The findings reveal distinct paradigms. The Civil Code establishes adopted children in a position equal to biological children regarding custody, care, guardianship, and education. It ensures legal parity, administrative certainty, and prioritizes parental suitability for the child’s welfare. Conversely, Islamic law maintains the child’s lineage with their biological parents; adoption does not create a blood relationship. It is viewed as a social responsibility and virtuous deed. Nonetheless, Islam fundamentally supports initiatives for child protection and welfare. A key mechanism is the obligatory bequest (wasiat wajibah), which guarantees inheritance rights for adopted children. This provides concrete legal protection, as explicitly stipulated in Article 209 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), ensuring their financial security while honoring biological lineage principles. Thus, both systems, through different means, aim to safeguard the rights and future of adopted children.
EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF PROGRAM AND ACTIVITY PLANNING AT THE SOCIAL AFFAIRS OFFICE OF MALUKU PROVINCE: A DATA-BASED PARTICIPATORY PLANNING PERSPECTIVE
This study examines the quality of program and activity planning at the Social Affairs Office of Maluku Province from a data-based participatory planning perspective. High-quality planning is essential for ensuring that social welfare programs are effective, efficient, and responsive to real community needs, particularly in a geographically dispersed and socially diverse region such as Maluku. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis involving key planning actors within the institution. The findings indicate that planning practices have increasingly incorporated stakeholder participation and the use of social data to identify priority issues and design targeted interventions for vulnerable groups. Participatory mechanisms involving government units, community representatives, and traditional leaders contribute to greater contextual relevance and policy alignment. In addition, the utilization of integrated social data supports more evidence-based decision-making and program justification. However, the study also reveals several challenges, including limited depth of stakeholder involvement in decision-making, inconsistencies in data quality and integration, uneven analytical capacity among planners, and weak feedback follow-up mechanisms. These constraints limit the full realization of participatory and data-driven planning as a strategic tool for social development. The study concludes that strengthening institutional capacity, improving data governance, and enhancing inclusive participation are critical to improving planning quality and ensuring sustainable social welfare outcomes in Maluku Province.

This study aims to describe the professionalism of school principals in improving the performance of Social Sciences (IPS) teachers at Ngaweet Private Elementary School, West Halmahera Regency. The professionalism of school principals has an important role in creating a conducive work climate, fostering teacher competence, and encouraging the improvement of the quality of learning. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research subjects include school principals, social studies teachers, and several related parties in the school environment. Data collection techniques are carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation, while data analysis is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the professionalism of school principals is reflected in managerial skills, leadership, academic supervision, and teacher coaching and development. The principal actively provides guidance, motivation, and evaluation of the performance of social studies teachers, so that it has a positive impact on learning planning, the implementation of the teaching and learning process, and the assessment of student learning outcomes. However, there are still several obstacles, such as limited infrastructure and sustainable development of teacher competencies. Therefore, efforts are needed to consistently improve the professionalism of school principals and support from various parties to improve the performance of social studies teachers optimally.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEARNING FROM A PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE
Character development at the elementary school level has become an increasingly urgent issue due to growing moral challenges arising from social change and the expansion of digital technology. Empirical findings indicate that character education practices in elementary schools remain largely normative and have not yet fully supported deep value internalization among students. This study aims to examine character development in elementary school learning through a philosophy of science perspective, encompassing ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review using PRISMA guidelines, analyzing 22 relevant scholarly articles published between 2021 and 2025. The findings reveal that integrating the philosophy of science into elementary learning provides a strong conceptual foundation for character education, where values are not merely introduced as rules but are understood, interpreted, and practiced through reflective and contextual learning experiences. In conclusion, the philosophy of science perspective can function as a comprehensive pedagogical framework for character development in elementary school students.
THE PHENOMENON OF ISLAMIC JOKES ON SOCIAL MEDIA: BETWEEN ENTERTAINMENT AND THE INTERNALIZATION OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION VALUES
The phenomenon of Islamic jokes on social media has become increasingly popular alongside the rapid growth of digital platforms as spaces for expression and education. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic jokes as a form of entertainment as well as a medium for the internalization of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) values. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through content analysis of Islamic humor-themed posts on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, with a specific focus on TikTok. The findings indicate that Islamic jokes serve two primary functions. First, they function as a light, contextual, and easily accessible form of entertainment for the digital generation. Second, they possess the potential to internalize Islamic values through moral messages, character development, and the creative delivery of religious teachings. Nevertheless, the study also identifies the risk of meaning distortion and oversimplification of religious teachings when such content is not accompanied by proper understanding.

GENDER INJUSTICE AGAINST FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE NOVEL LUKA PEREMPUAN ASAP BY NAFI'AH AL-MA'RAB
The quality of women’s resources is a strategic issue that plays an important role in shaping social life and future generations. However, until now, women still face various forms of injustice due to the strong construction of patriarchal culture and unequal gender relations. Literature is an important medium to represent this reality as well as a means of social criticism. This study aims to examine the forms of gender injustice experienced by female characters in the novel Luka Perempuan Asap by Nafi’ah Al-Ma’rab through the perspective of feminist literary criticism. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and literature. Data in the form of words, sentences, and paragraphs representing gender injustice were collected through intensive reading techniques and analyzed based on the framework of gender injustice Yulianeta (2021), which includes marginalization, domination, subordination, and repression. The results of the study showed that there were 20 data on gender injustice experienced by female figures, with subordination as the most dominant form, followed by domination, repression, and marginalization. The character of Mun as the main character experiences the most intense gender injustice, both in the family, education, and social realms. These findings confirm that the four forms of gender injustice are interrelated and form a structural system of oppression against women. The novelty of this research lies in the analysis of the relationship between forms of gender injustice as an ideological unit in the narrative of the novel. This research contributes to enriching the literary study of Indonesian feminism and increasing critical awareness of the issue of gender injustice through the reading of literary works.
EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SHIPPING TRAINING POLICY AT THE BAROMBONG SHIPPING POLYTECHNIC
Introduction: This paper examines the implementation of maritime training policies at Politeknik Pelayaran Barombong, a maritime vocational school in Makassar, Indonesia. The maritime sector is crucial for Indonesia, an archipelagic nation relying heavily on sea transportation for logistics, infrastructure, and industry. This study investigates how the institution’s training programs align with international standards and their effectiveness in preparing skilled seafarers. The research questions are: How is the maritime training policy implemented at Politeknik Pelayaran Barombong? What are the outcomes in terms of graduate competency and industry absorption? Novelty: This research fills a gap by analyzing maritime training policies at a specific Indonesian institution, focusing on the direct impact on industry employment, a topic not widely explored in previous studies. Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was used, employing interviews, direct observations, and documentation to gather data from key informants at Politeknik Pelayaran Barombong, including instructors and maritime experts. Results: The study finds that Politeknik Pelayaran Barombong has successfully implemented maritime training policies, ensuring adequate infrastructure and adherence to international standards like STCW. However, challenges remain, particularly in achieving optimal graduation rates for participants with lower educational backgrounds. Despite this, 85% of graduates are absorbed by the maritime industry within six months. Conclusion: While the implementation of maritime training policies has been successful, improvements are needed to enhance graduation rates and address challenges faced by students. Expanding the focus to include external industry stakeholders could help bridge gaps between academic curricula and industry needs.

CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF THE REPRESENTATION OF SANTRI IDENTITY IN TAJ YASIN’S DEBATE SPEECHES DURING THE 2024 CENTRAL JAVA GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION
Identity politics rooted in pesantren culture plays a significant role in electoral contestation in Central Java; however, studies examining how santri identity is discursively represented, particularly within candidate debate forums, remain limited. This research aims to analyze the construction of santri identity in three debate speeches delivered by Taj Yasin during the 2024 Central Java gubernatorial election using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The data consist of debate transcripts, which are examined through three analytical levels: textual analysis, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice. The findings reveal that santri identity is constructed through the strategic use of religious and pesantren-specific diction such as nglakoni, ngopeni, and akhlaq, as well as through narratives of moral exemplarity and genealogical references to respected religious figures, including the teachings of K.H Maimoen Zubair. This identity construction is further reinforced by visual performativity, particularly the consistent use of sarong and black cap throughout the debates, and by framing pesantren values as the normative foundation for policy arguments in education, sharia-based economics, environmental issues, and social development. At the sociocultural level, the construction of santri identity resonates strongly with the religious and pesantren-oriented character of Central Javanese society, functioning as both symbolic capital and a political communication strategy. This study concludes that santri identity operates not merely as a personal attribute but as a deliberate discursive strategy that integrates language, symbols, and cultural values to establish political legitimacy in the electoral arena.
BRIEF READING, SIGNIFICANT IMPACT: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A 15 MINUTE READING HABITUATION PROGRAM USING PICTURE STORYBOOKS TO STRENGTHEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ CHARACTER
Strengthening character education at the elementary school level is increasingly important in addressing contemporary educational challenges. One practical strategy widely implemented in schools is a 15-minute reading habituation program utilizing picture storybooks. This study aims to systematically examine the contribution of short reading habituation using picture storybooks to the development of elementary school students’ character. This research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by analyzing relevant national and international journal articles published between 2022 and 2025. Data were collected from reputable academic databases and analyzed descriptively to identify key patterns related to literacy practices, character formation, and the pedagogical role of picture storybooks. The findings indicate that consistent short-duration reading activities effectively support the internalization of character values such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, empathy, and cooperation.

STRENGTHENING SOCIAL SCIENCE LEARNING THROUGH INTEGRATION OF GLOBAL GENDER EQUALITY PERSPECTIVES
Gender equality is a global issue that continues to face challenges in its implementation across countries. School learning plays a strategic role in instilling the values of justice and equality from an early age. One such approach is through the subject of Social Studies. This article aims to examine how strengthening Social Studies learning through the integration of a global perspective on gender equality makes learning more relevant, contextual, and better able to foster critical awareness in students. This research uses a literature review. Data were obtained from various literature sources, including national and international journal articles and books related to Social Studies learning themes, gender equality, and global perspectives. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically by mapping the relationship between ten main Social Studies themes and gender equality issues in a global context. The results of the study indicate that gender equality can be integrated comprehensively into Social Studies subject themes, such as culture, history, environment, individual identity, social relations, power, economics, technology, global connections, and citizenship. The integration of a global perspective into Social Studies learning helps students understand gender equality as a cross-border, cross-cultural social issue. Thus, Social Studies learning plays a vital role in fostering inclusive, just, and responsible attitudes among global citizens.
