The Effectiveness of Using Learning Management Systems in Improving the Quality of Learning in Madrasas
type: item
description: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using a Sharia-based Learning Management System (LMS) to support learning in Islamic schools. The main focus of this study is to identify the limitations of conventional LMSs in accommodating Islamic values ​​and to explore the contribution of Sharia-based LMSs in shaping the character of religious and noble students. The approach used was qualitative with library research methods, involving the analysis of various academic literature related to Islamic education and learning technology. Data were collected through an in-depth review of books, journals, and policy documents, then analyzed descriptively, critically, and thematically. The results show that conventional LMSs do not fully meet the needs of holistic Islamic education because they only focus on technical aspects. In contrast, Sharia-based LMSs have proven more effective in integrating spiritual values ​​through features such as prayer reminders, Islamic content, and etiquette-based communication ethics. This LMS not only improves the efficiency of online learning but also strengthens the development of students' Islamic character. Therefore, the implementation of a Sharia-based LMS is a strategic step in addressing the challenges of digitalization while maintaining the integrity of Islamic values ​​in education.

Teacher Strategies in Improving Students' Reading Literacy Skills through Interactive Digital Mediaat the Elementary Madrasah
type: item
description: This study is a qualitative study using a library research approach, which is included in the literary research category. This method is carried out through reading, taking notes, synthesizing, and analyzing various relevant library sources, such as books, scientific journals, articles, and other documents. The focus of this study is to examine teachers' strategies in improving the reading literacy of elementary madrasah students through the use of interactive digital media. The results of the literature review indicate that the use of digital media such as audiovisual e-books, educational videos, and game-based applications can significantly increase students' interest, motivation, and reading skills. The role of teachers as facilitators and designers of adaptive learning is a key factor in the success of this digital media integration. This study also emphasizes the importance of teachers' digital literacy competencies, infrastructure readiness, and content suitability with Islamic values ​​and the local context. These findings reinforce the theories of social constructivism and multimedia learning, which emphasize the importance of social interaction and multisensory stimulation in the learning process. However, challenges such as the digital divide still need to be addressed through ongoing training and collaboration between stakeholders. The implications of this research point to an inclusive and sustainable digital learning transformation, with teachers as the main agents of change in building a contextual and valuable digital literacy culture in madrasas

The Impact of Low Parental Support on Students' Learning Achievement and Emotional Condition
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the impact of low parental support on student achievement and emotional well-being at the secondary education level. Using a qualitative approach and descriptive survey methods, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires distributed online to students in several urban areas in Indonesia, and triangulated through interviews and consultations with guidance and counseling teachers. The results indicate that low parental involvement, both academically and emotionally, has a direct impact on decreased learning motivation, limited understanding of material, and impaired psychological well-being. Students who do not receive attention or validation from their parents tend to experience feelings of neglect, stress, and ongoing anxiety. Furthermore, negative parental responses to academic failure exacerbate the emotional distress experienced by students. These findings emphasize the importance of active and empathetic parental involvement in supporting children's learning. This study recommends the need for strategic collaboration between schools and families through parenting training, teacher-parent communication forums, and family-based intervention programs to create a supportive and sustainable educational ecosystem.

Analysis of the Implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Enhancing the Pancasila Student Profile
type: item
description: The Merdeka Curriculum is an educational policy designed to address the challenges of 21st-century learning by emphasising the strengthening of character and student competencies. One of the main focuses of the Merdeka Curriculum is the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile as a reflection of Indonesian students who are faithful, devoted to God Almighty, noble in character, independent, critical thinkers, creative, cooperative, and globally diverse. This research aims to analyse the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in enhancing the Pancasila Student Profile in educational units. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results show that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum through project-based learning, differentiated instruction, and strengthening school culture can encourage the development of students' character and competencies in accordance with the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. However, several obstacles are still found, such as teacher readiness, limited facilities, and uneven understanding of the concept. Therefore, continuous support and improvement of educators' competencies are needed to ensure the optimal implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.

The Utilisation of Learning Management System (LMS) in Enhancing Learning Effectiveness in Secondary Schools
type: item
description: The development of information and communication technology encourages the education sector to adapt through the use of digital learning technology. One of the developing innovations is the use of Learning Management System (LMS) in the learning process at secondary schools. This research aims to describe the utilisation of LMS in enhancing the effectiveness of learning. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with teachers and students as research subjects. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The research results show that the use of LMS can significantly enhance the effectiveness of learning. This is marked by increased student participation in learning activities, the development of learning independence, and the ease for teachers in managing materials, assignments, and learning evaluations. LMS also supports the creation of more flexible, structured, and interactive learning because it can be accessed anytime and anywhere. However, the utilisation of LMS still faces several obstacles, such as limited technological infrastructure and differences in digital literacy levels between teachers and students. Therefore, adequate support in terms of facilities and infrastructure, as well as the enhancement of digital competencies, is necessary so that the implementation of LMS can run optimally, effectively, and sustainably in improving the quality of learning in secondary schools.

Islamic Religious Education Teachers' Perceptions of the Implementation of Character Education in Middle Schools
type: item
description: Character education is a key focus of the national education system, particularly at the junior high school (SMP) level. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers hold a strategic position in integrating character values ​​into the learning process, both in and outside the classroom. This study aims to analyze PAI teachers' perceptions of the implementation of character education in junior high schools. The research method used is a desk study by analyzing literature related to character education, the role of teachers, and the implementation of Islamic values ​​in schools. The results show that most PAI teachers view character education as an integral part of the mission of Islamic education, as it not only teaches cognitive aspects but also shapes students' attitudes, morals, and spirituality. However, teachers also face several challenges, such as time constraints, the influence of the digital environment, and a lack of support from some parents. This study confirms that the implementation of character education will be effective if PAI teachers are given adequate space to integrate Islamic values ​​into the curriculum, receive institutional support, and build collaboration with all involved parties.

The Role of Islamic Religious Education Teachers in Shaping Students' Digital Literacy in the Modern Era
type: item
description: The development of digital technology has had a significant impact on the world of education, including the learning process of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). PAI teachers are required not only to master religious material but also to possess digital literacy skills to be able to guide students in facing the challenges of the modern era. Digital literacy in this context goes beyond the technical ability to use technology, but also encompasses ethical, critical, and religious understanding of media. Thus, PAI teachers play a crucial role in shaping a generation that is not only digitally literate but also able to use technology wisely in accordance with Islamic values. This study used a library study method by reviewing various literature related to digital literacy, the role of teachers, and Islamic education. The results of the study indicate that PAI teachers have a strategic role in three main aspects: as guides of digital ethics, facilitators of technology utilization in learning, and role models in the wise use of digital media. This aligns with the needs of education in the era of the Industrial Revolution 5.0, where technological mastery must be balanced with the instilling of spiritual and moral values. Challenges that arise include limited teacher digital competence, limited resources, and the rapid flow of negative information that has the potential to damage students' character. However, with the right strategies such as integrating Islamic digital literacy into learning, digital training for teachers, and collaboration with parents, Islamic Religious Education teachers can shape a digitally literate generation that is intelligent and has an Islamic character, so that they are ready to face the complex dynamics of global life.

The Impact of Academic Pressure on Students' Mental Health in the Context of Modern Education
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the impact of academic pressure on students' mental health in a modern, competitive, results-oriented education system. Current education is characterized by high demands, a dense curriculum, and cognitive-based assessment standards, which often neglect students' emotional aspects. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive survey method, involving 30 high school students in grades 11 and 12 from three major cities in Indonesia. Data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire and analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results showed that the majority of students experienced academic pressure that negatively impacted their mental health, such as stress, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and academic burnout. Furthermore, students also found it difficult to manage their time between schoolwork and personal needs. Although some students stated they received support from their schools, most felt that the education system still did not adequately address the balance between academic achievement and mental health. Therefore, a more humane educational policy reform is needed, with an empathetic and responsive approach to students' psychological conditions. This study recommends the importance of integrating mental health support services into the curriculum and learning system in schools

Strengthening Character Education in Islamic Elementary Schools through a Holistic Learning Approach
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a holistic learning approach in strengthening character education in Islamic elementary schools. Education at this level is not only aimed at mastering academic knowledge, but also instilling moral, spiritual, and social values ​​​​in accordance with Islamic teachings. The reality in the field shows that learning practices are still dominated by conventional methods that emphasize memorization, while character building is often positioned as an additional aspect. This creates a gap between the ideal goals of Islamic education and the implementation of daily learning. This study used a literature study method by analyzing various literature in the form of books, scientific articles, and relevant curriculum documents. A descriptive qualitative approach was used to identify key concepts, compare expert views, and compile a synthesis regarding holistic learning and its relevance to character education in Islamic elementary schools. The results show that a holistic approach is able to strengthen character education by integrating cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and spiritual aspects in the learning process. Strategies that can be implemented include integrative thematic learning, Project Based Learning, teacher role models, religious habits, and the development of an Islamic school culture. However, challenges faced include limited teacher competence, limited learning facilities, and an educational orientation that emphasizes academic achievement

Implementation of Educator Performance Management in Improving Student Learning Quality
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the implementation of structured and highly disciplined teaching staff management at SMP A. Wahid Hasyim Tebuireng, which focuses on improving the quality of learning through teaching staff personnel management. The objectives of this study are: (1) to determine the performance management of teachers, (2) to determine the quality of student learning, and (3) to analyze the implementation of teaching staff performance in improving the quality of student learning at SMP A. Wahid Hasyim Tebuireng. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis is carried out through data processing, categorization, and interpretation. The results of the study indicate that management has an important role in the education system because it is able to optimize human resources in a directed manner to achieve institutional goals. Based on GR Terry's theory, management functions include planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. The implementation of these four functions at SMP A. Wahid Hasyim is running well and has a positive impact on improving the quality of learning. However, it was found that the madrasah still needs to optimize training and guidance related to the use of learning technology, especially in the preparation of lesson plans, syllabi, teaching methods, and teaching materials to support the effectiveness of the learning process.

Utilization of Microlearning Media as an Innovative Solution to Improve Student Learning
type: item
description: The development of digital technology encourages higher education institutions to adopt more flexible, adaptive, and relevant learning strategies. Students as a digital generation need short, practical, and technology-based learning methods. One approach that is considered capable of answering these challenges is microlearning. Microlearning is a learning strategy that presents material in the form of small and dense units, which supports a fast and efficient learning process. Learning media plays an important role in optimizing this strategy, because it is able to convey content visually, auditorily, and interactively. The use of media such as short videos, animations, and infographics helps students understand concepts more easily and interestingly. This study aims to analyze the use of microlearning media as an innovative solution to improve the quality of student learning. In addition to exploring the form and effectiveness of the media used, this study also highlights various implementation challenges, such as limited technology infrastructure and digital literacy. The results of the study show that microlearning media is not only a learning aid, but also a driving force for the transformation of higher education. Therefore, a systematic implementation strategy and institutional support are needed so that microlearning media can be applied optimally and sustainably in the campus environment.

The Influence of the Number of Business Actors on Price Stability in the Oligopoly Model
type: item
description: This research aims to analyze the influence of the number of business owners on price stability in an oligopoly market structure. In an oligopoly market, the interaction between business entities plays a crucial role in determining prices. A small number of businesses tends to create price instability due to interdependent competitive strategies, including potential collusion or aggressive price reactions. Conversely, as the number of businesses increases, competition becomes fiercer and the tendency for prices to stabilize also increases. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach thru literature studies and microeconomic theory analysis using the Cournot and Bertrand models. The study results show that market structure significantly determines price formation patterns, with the number of business operators being an important variable in creating market efficiency and price stability. Additionally, strategic interdependence between firms explains the phenomenon of price stickiness and extreme fluctuations in oligopolistic markets. This finding contributes to understanding the dynamics of oligopoly and the policy implications for regulating a healthier and more competitive market structure. This research also recommends the importance of regulation to increase the number of business actors in order to foster a fair competitive climate and stable prices, thereby protecting the interests of consumers broadly.

The Effect of Inflation and the Open Unemployment Rate on the Number of Poor People In North Sumatra
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of inflation and the open unemployment rate on the number of poor people in North Sumatra Province during the period 2007–2020. The focus of this study is to determine the extent to which macroeconomic factors such as inflation and unemployment affect poverty levels in areas with diverse economic structures between urban and rural areas. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The analytical method used is multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) approach, and is complemented by classical assumption tests such as normality, autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests to ensure the model used meets the BLUE (Best Linear Unbiased Estimator) criteria. The results of the study indicate that partially, the unemployment variable has a positive and significant effect on poverty with a probability value of 0.0006 <0.05, which means that every 1 percent increase in unemployment increases the number of poor people by 0.0419 percent. Meanwhile, inflation also has a positive and significant effect on poverty with a probability value of 0.0305 < 0.05, where every 1 percent increase in inflation increases the number of poor people by 0.0722 percent. Simultaneously, inflation and unemployment have a significant effect on poverty with an R-Squared value of 0.6684. This finding emphasizes the importance of inflation control policies and job creation as strategic efforts to reduce poverty levels in North Sumatra Province.

The Influence of Friendship Environment on Promiscuity Among Students of the Faculty of Economics State University of Medan
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of peer groups on promiscuity among students majoring in Economics Education. The college years are an important transitional phase during which students form their identities and expand their social networks. In this context, peers serve as significant sources of emotional support and behavioral references. However, intensive interaction with peers can also encourage individuals to engage in deviant behavior, such as promiscuity, which is often associated with premarital sex, alcohol consumption, and drug use. The research results indicate a positive and significant correlation between the peer environment and promiscuity, with a calculated t-value (10.055) exceeding the table t-value (1.69236) at a significance level of 0.000, which is less than 0.05. Each one percent increase in the peer environment contributes to a 1.153 increase in promiscuity, indicating that the higher the peer environment, the higher the promiscuity among students. The coefficient of determination of 0.754 indicates that the friendship environment can explain 75.4% of the variation in promiscuity. This study is supported by Bandura and Sutherland's theory, which explains that deviant behavior is learned through social interaction and observation of peer behavior. These findings emphasize the importance of understanding the dynamics of the peer environment in efforts to prevent promiscuous behavior among college students. Thus, this study is expected to provide insights for the development of effective intervention strategies to reduce promiscuous behavior on campus.

Approaches in Educational Supervision: Directive, Non-Directive, and Collaborative Analysis in Improving Teacher Professionalism
type: item
description: Educational supervision is an important strategy to improve the quality of learning and the professionalism of educators. There are three main approaches to supervision, namely directive, non-directive, and collaborative. The directive approach places the supervisor as the main provider of direction, suitable for novice teachers or those who need intensive guidance. The non-directive approach emphasizes teacher autonomy in identifying and solving learning problems, so it is suitable for experienced, independent teachers. Meanwhile, the collaborative approach combines the two, emphasizing the partnership between supervisor and teacher in the process of reflection and decision-making. The analysis shows that there is no absolute superior approach. The effectiveness of supervision is largely determined by the suitability of the approach to the characteristics of the teacher, the objectives of supervision, and the educational context. In practice, professional supervisors need to be flexible and able to adjust the approach as needed. The right approach can improve teacher motivation, competence, and performance in managing learning. Therefore, a deep understanding of these three approaches is crucial in implementing effective and sustainable educational supervision.

Narrative Research & Grounded Theory Research Design
type: item
description: Qualitative research is an approach that aims to understand social reality, human behavior, and the meaning contained in it through the perspective of the subject under study. In contrast to quantitative research which emphasizes numbers and generalizations, qualitative research prioritizes depth of understanding and interpretation of meaning. In qualitative research, there are various designs that can be used, including Narrative Research and Grounded Theory which are often the main choices for researchers who want to explore complex phenomena. Narrative Research focuses on stories or narratives told by individuals, with the aim of uncovering personal meaning, life experiences, and a person's subjective interpretation of the events they experience. Through this approach, researchers seek to understand how individuals make meaning of their lives, and how these experiences shape their identities and behaviors. Meanwhile, Grounded Theory aims to build theories that are truly born from field data through an inductive approach. Researchers collect data without bringing an initial theory and gradually form categories, concepts, until finally producing a theory that can explain the phenomenon under study. This process involves iterative data collection and analysis through open, axial and selective coding techniques. This article not only discusses the definitions and characteristics of the two designs, but also reviews the types of research, distinctive features, advantages, essential differences, and challenges that may be faced in their application. These challenges include the difficulty in obtaining authentic narratives, the potential for researcher subjectivity, and the complexity of the theory development process. This article is organized through a literature study and descriptive analysis that aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how and when Narrative Research and Grounded Theory can be appropriately applied in qualitative research.

The Influence of Educational Digitalization Policy on Secondary School Students' Learning Motivation
type: item
description: This study aims to self-determination theory approach. This theory emphasises the importance of three basic aspects in building intrinsic motivation, namely autonomy, competence, and connectedness. In the context of digital policy, these three aspects are crucial to be studied further in order to understand how technology contributes to students' enthusiasm for learning. The method used is library research with a qualitative approach. Data were collected from various literature sources, such as scientific journals, books, and policy reports that are relevant to the theme of educational digitalisation and learning motivation. The analysis was carried out thematically to explore the relationship between digital policies and students' psychological conditions in the learning process. The results of the study show that digitalisation policies can increase students' learning motivation if supported by adequate facilities, teacher training, and a fun learning approach. However, in areas that are less ready in terms of infrastructure, this policy actually creates gaps and reduces learning enthusiasm. Therefore, an inclusive and contextual implementation strategy is needed so that digitalisation really has a positive impact on students' learning motivation.

Integration of Islamic Legal Values ​​in the National Education System Conceptual and Implementative Studies
type: item
description: This study aims to formulate a conceptual and implementative framework for integrating Islamic legal values ​​into the Indonesian national education system. This is done as an effort to address the increasingly worrying character crisis and moral degradation among the younger generation. The national education system has so far prioritized a technocratic approach that tends to ignore the dimensions of values, ethics, and spirituality so that education loses its main function as a means of forming a whole person. The research method used is a qualitative approach with library research. An in-depth literature review was conducted on the basic principles of Islamic law, such as justice, responsibility, compassion, equality, and social solidarity, and their relevance in educational practices in Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that the integration of Islamic legal values ​​can be done through three main approaches, namely curricular, methodological, and cultural. Despite facing challenges in the form of ideological resistance, limited resources, and low-value literacy among educators, the development of a value-based curriculum, teacher training, and strengthening school culture can be effective solutions. This research makes an important contribution to the development of a more humanistic, character-based, and transcendental value-oriented national education.

Teacher Training Innovations to Improve Education Inclusion In Schools
type: item
description: Inclusive education emphasizes the importance of providing equal learning opportunities for all learners, including those with special needs. In its implementation, the success of inclusive education depends on the readiness and competence of teachers in dealing with the heterogeneity of students in the classroom. Innovative teacher training is one of the main strategies in responding to this challenge. Innovations in teacher training include developing training curricula based on real needs in the field, using educational technology to simulate inclusion cases, and collaborative training approaches between general and special education teachers. In addition, hands-on and reflective practice-based training models have proven effective in equipping teachers with applicable skills.
