Approaches in Educational Supervision: Directive, Non-Directive, and Collaborative Analysis in Improving Teacher Professionalism
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
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 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.

Mengkaji an nafs adalah sebuah kajian yg pasti tetap menarik. Menafsirkan bagian tentang penting, berguna dan juga fungsinya. Pengertianan nafs banyak yang menuangkan pendapat dan variatif sesuai dengan perspektif masing-masing yg beragam serta latar belakang mereka yang lebih fokus atas hal itu. Semantara itu dari sisi lain pemahaman tentang an nafs dimaksud cukup esensial sejalan dengan keberadaannya didalam diri setiap manusia. Tulisan ini berusaha mengkuliti pemikiran Al-Kindi, salah seorang tokoh terpepuler dan terkemuka dalam filsafat Islam. Buah pemikiran beliau tentang an nafs akan dikaji dari perspektif filsafat agama. Melalui penelusuran bentuk penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif ditemukan bahwa Al-Kindi adalah salah satu filsuf Islam berkebangsaan Arab pertama yang berhasil mengabungkan atau mepersatukan antara filsafat dan agama. Baginya filsafat adalah usaha manusia secara sistematis agar mengetahui kebenaran, sedangkan agama adalah sumber dari kebenaran itu sendiri. Maka dari itu wahyu tidak bertentangan dengan filsafat Letaknya jiwa bagi tubuh adalah sebagai pemberi hidup, sedangkan tubuh adalah hanya sebagai tumpangan. Jiwa dan tubuh adalah dua komponen yang saling melengkapi. Jiwa adalah kesempurnaan pertama bagi jism organik, yang dengannya jisim memiliki kehidupan secara potensial. Jiwa mengambil peran kehidupan bagi tubuh, kalau tidak ada jiwa maka tubuh tidak dapat merasakan apa-apa, dan bahkan tubuh akan lenyap dengan sendirinya.

Improving Counting Skills Through Number CardGames in Children at RA Al-Basithiyah BatuTunggal
This research is based on child development in Raudhatul Athfal Al-Bashitiyah. In learning activities in early childhood education RA Al-Basithiyah in group B, the ability to recognize children's numbers is still very low. When asked to show numbers and match the shape of the numbers. In addition, there are only 13 children who can write numbers 1-10, and only 17 can re-state numbers 1-10 in sequence. The reason for the inability of children in RA Al-Basithiyah to recognize and mention the concept of numbers 1-10 is that the learning method used in recognizing numbers is not optimal. Very minimal learning media is used to recognize numbers, so it cannot stimulate children to recognize them. This study aims to determine whether using number card media can improve children's counting skills in RA Al Bashitiyah. This research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). Data collection techniques in this study were observation and documentation. The subjects in this study were children of RA Al Bashitiyah. The results of this study used two cycles: in cycle I, the MB category had 18 children (60%) and BSH 12 children (40%). In cycle II, the MB category was two children (7%), and the BSB category was 28 children (93%), meaning cycle II was declared complete. It can be concluded that number card games can improve children's counting skills.

Education is a process closely related to transmitting knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, skills, and other aspects of behavior to the younger generation. In this context, education teaches and shapes human behavior patterns according to societal expectations. This study aims to analyze the role of education in shaping individual social behavior through interactions in the family, school, and community environments. The method used is qualitative research with a library research approach, where data is collected from relevant literature. This study found that in primitive societies, formal education does not exist, and every child learns from their social environment without a specific teacher who is responsible for their behavior. However, in more advanced societies, formal education in schools becomes an important social institution in socializing individuals to become expected members of society. Formal education in schools has a major role in shaping individual personalities, where almost all individual behavior is influenced by others. In addition, this study also highlights the importance of the educational environment, which includes the family, school, and community environments, in influencing child development both consciously and unconsciously.

The Role Of Islamic Religious Education Teachers In The Digital Era
In today's digital era, access to information is increasingly easy and widespread, allowing students to access various educational and negative sources. Education faces a major challenge in remaining relevant to the progress of the times while maintaining Islamic religious values. Therefore, the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers is very important in guiding students to minimize the negative impacts of the digital era. Education is a vital aspect of human development, influencing the formation of children's character and intellect. Based on Law No. 20 of 2003 on the National Education System, education must develop students' spiritual potential, selfcontrol, and moral intelligence. PAI teachers must be able to utilize technology to design creative and interactive learning and supervise students' use of technology. Although digital technology offers many benefits, such as increased effectiveness and efficiency, it also poses challenges in accessing negative content. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to describe the strategies of PAI teachers in instilling Islamic values in the digital era. The research findings show that integrating technology into Islamic religious learning can increase students' motivation and access to information. Still, strict supervision is required to prevent the influence of negative content. Teachers must continue to improve their digital competencies and work with parents to create a learning environment that supports student character development and morals.
