This study aims to examine the application of a modified direct learning strategy combined with the demonstration method to improve students' cognitive abilities. The direct learning strategy is an approach that emphasizes the systematic and gradual delivery of material, so that students can understand concepts in a more structured manner. However, in practice, this strategy needs to be modified to be more engaging and appropriate to the characteristics of students. The demonstration method is used as a form of reinforcement in the learning process, where students not only receive information verbally but also directly observe the processes, events, or concepts being studied. This allows students to gain a more concrete and meaningful learning experience. Modifications to the learning strategy are carried out through adjustments to models, methods, media, and learning facilities and infrastructure to optimally support the achievement of learning objectives. Students' cognitive abilities are the main focus of this study, which include aspects of knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, evaluation, and creation according to Bloom's taxonomy. With the implementation of appropriate learning strategies, students are expected to be able to develop more active and critical thinking skills. The results of the study indicate that a modified direct learning strategy with the demonstration method has the potential to significantly improve students' cognitive abilities. Therefore, this approach can be used as an alternative, effective learning strategy to create a more interactive, engaging, and meaningful learning process.

This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of slang usage on the TikTok social media platform as a form of linguistic adaptation in digital communication. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research examines how users modify language structures to create more effective, expressive, and socially meaningful interactions. Data were collected through participatory observation of content appearing on the For Your Page (FYP) feature and analyzed using textual and contextual methods. The findings reveal that slang formation on TikTok occurs within three main domains: phonological transformation through sound reduction to produce linguistic aesthetics, morphological modification through the creation of efficient acronyms, and cognitive-semantic shifts that redefine the meanings of existing vocabulary. These findings demonstrate that slang is not merely a temporary communication trend, but also functions as an important sociolinguistic instrument for constructing group identity, strengthening emotional connections, and reflecting the cognitive and cultural dynamics of contemporary digital society amid the rapid development of information technology.

Organizational culture plays a very important role in determining the level of educational productivity, especially in Islamic educational institutions which have distinctive characteristics in fostering students. This study aims to determine the effect of organizational culture consisting of the SAKTI values (Salafi, Active, Creative, Taqwa, and Innovative) on educational productivity at MI Ma’arif NU Hidayatul Mubtadiin Padangasri Mojokerto. The SAKTI values are believed to create a conducive, harmonious, and motivating work environment, so that educators can work optimally in supporting the achievement of educational goals. This research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to all 32 teaching and educational staff as research respondents. Data analysis was carried out using simple linear regression with the help of the SPSS application to determine the extent of the influence of organizational culture on educational productivity. The results of the study show that the SAKTI organizational culture has a significant influence on educational productivity. This is indicated by the value of the coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.650, which means that 65% of the variation in educational productivity can be explained by organizational culture. Meanwhile, the significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) and the t-count of 10.211, which is greater than the t-table of 2.042, indicate that the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) is accepted. These findings confirm that the higher the implementation of organizational culture with SAKTI values in madrasah, the higher the level of educational productivity achieved. Therefore, Islamic educational institutions need to continuously instill, internalize, and strengthen organizational culture based on SAKTI values in order to improve the quality of educators and encourage the creation of more effective, efficient, and competitive education.

The concept of Islamic education according to K.H. Abdullah Sa'id aims to shape individuals according to the vision of his creation as abid and caliph of Allah. He emphasized two main steps: developing a philosophical view of "human identity" and building an epistemology based on the Koran and Sunnah. This education uses the systematics of revelation, with the stages of the revelation of the Koran as a foundation, to form a vision of an educational movement aimed at building Islamic civilization. The process of character formation is carried out through habituation, attention and example. The Islamic values implemented are reflected in the "Gunung Tembak Charter" which is a guideline for Hidayatullah cadres. This education not only produces graduates, but also individuals who make real contributions to society.
