This study aims to examine the role of literary catechesis in helping believers, especially young people, to understand and live out the Word of God in their daily lives. The background of this research is rooted in the rapid development of technology and the flow of information, which significantly influence how young people perceive and experience their faith. In this context, catechesis is often still conducted in a one-way manner and tends to lack connection with participants’ lived experiences. Therefore, a more contextual and participatory approach is needed. This research employs a literature study method by analyzing various sources, including academic journals and Church documents, particularly the Petunjuk untuk Katekese (2020). The findings show that literary catechesis is an effective approach because it places Sacred Scripture at the center of faith formation through processes of reading, understanding, and reflecting on the text. This approach enables participants not only to know the content of Scripture but also to relate it to their personal life experiences.

The rapid development of modern science and technology has brought major transformations to various aspects of human life, including education, communication, economics, health, and social interaction. Nevertheless, this progress often creates a gap between scientific advancement and spiritual or moral values, particularly when viewed from an Islamic perspective. This study aims to analyze the relationship between modern science and Islamic teachings, while also exploring relevant forms of integration between the two in responding to contemporary life challenges. The research employs a qualitative approach through a comprehensive literature review of books, scientific journals, and other academic sources related to science and Islam. The findings indicate that Islam is fundamentally not opposed to science; instead, Islamic teachings encourage critical thinking, intellectual development, and the pursuit of knowledge for the benefit of humanity. Furthermore, the integration of scientific knowledge and Islamic values is considered essential in maintaining balance between technological progress, ethical responsibility, and human morality. Therefore, continuous and contextual efforts are needed to harmonize science and religion so that both can contribute optimally to the development of a more humane, ethical, and spiritually grounded civilization.

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is a relevant instructional approach in vocational education because it emphasizes authentic learning experiences and competency development aligned with industry needs. However, its implementation is often limited to pedagogical practices and has not been systematically integrated with educational management functions. This study aims to analyze the optimization of PjBL in improving vocational students’ competencies through an educational management perspective. The research employed a qualitative literature review approach by examining national and international journal articles, academic books, and educational policy documents related to project-based learning, vocational education, and educational management. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through categorization, interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings reveal that the successful implementation of PjBL is influenced by competency-based planning, effective organization of learning resources, authentic project implementation, and continuous evaluation through authentic assessment. Institutional readiness, teacher competence, digital technology, and industrial partnerships also contribute significantly to the sustainability of PjBL implementation in vocational education.

In the education system, learning evaluation plays a fundamental role in measuring students' academic competency achievement. This study was designed to comprehensively examine the importance of high-quality learning instruments and the strategic role of assessment frameworks in ensuring the instrument's alignment with the formulated learning objectives. A qualitative, descriptive approach based on a literature review was used. The study's findings indicate that assessment frameworks serve as a framework or blueprint capable of validly and reliably mapping competencies, material coverage, and assessment weighting. Systematic implementation of assessment frameworks has been proven to increase the transparency and accountability of evaluations, while also supporting educators in integrating Islamic values ​​into the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). However, its implementation still faces obstacles, including limited teacher competency in developing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based questions, as well as constraints related to time and resource availability.

This study was conducted to determine the best log-linear model describing the relationship between gender, sleep duration, extracurricular activities, and student learning outcomes at SMAN 1 Kualuh Hulu. A log-linear analysis approach was used to identify interaction patterns among the variables and evaluate their contribution to student academic performance. The findings showed that the selected model adequately explained the structure of the observed data. A significant three-way interaction was identified between learning outcomes, sleep duration, and gender. The results indicated that insufficient sleep duration had a negative impact on student learning outcomes, and this effect varied by gender. Female students were found to be more vulnerable to decreased academic performance caused by sleep disturbances compared to male students. Meanwhile, extracurricular activities did not demonstrate a significant direct interaction with learning outcomes. This suggests that participation in extracurricular activities was not a major factor influencing differences in academic achievement among students at SMAN 1 Kualuh Hulu.

Academic stress is one of the common problems students face due to various learning demands, such as piling up assignments, pressure to achieve, and difficulty managing study time. This study aims to describe the concept of handling academic stress in students at SMA Negeri 1 Panyabungan through Islamic guidance and counseling. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques in the form of interviews with teachers involved in guidance and counseling services at the school. The results of the study show that academic stress in students is marked by decreased concentration in studying, frequent lateness, not completing assignments, and a lack of motivation to study. The dominant contributing factors are lack of rest, academic pressure, and suboptimal self-management skills. Handling this is done through giving Islamic advice, study motivation, religious coaching, as well as guidance from both guidance counselors and teachers. The handling is done through giving Islamic advice, study motivation, religious guidance, and support from school counselors and religious teachers. The Islamic guidance and counseling approach is considered able to help students gain peace, increase study motivation, and form more positive behaviors in facing academic demands.

The accelerating global ecological crisis, manifested in deforestation, biodiversity collapse, and extreme climate change, fundamentally reflects a deep-rooted moral and spiritual deterioration within modern humanity. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) holds a unique strategic position to address this crisis by systematically integrating naturalistic intelligence, the eighth dimension of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences theory, into the character formation process of students. This qualitative library research employs content analysis and conceptual analysis techniques applied to relevant primary and secondary academic sources published between 2019 and 2026. The study pursues three objectives: (1) to examine the conceptual and theological foundations of naturalistic intelligence within the Islamic educational framework; (2) to identify the reciprocal relationship patterns between naturalistic intelligence and the formation of religious-ecological character in students; and (3) to formulate integrative Islamic education management strategies for optimizing naturalistic intelligence. Findings reveal that naturalistic intelligence possesses robust theological grounding in Islamic tradition, anchored in the concepts of tafakkur, ayat kauniyah, khalifatullah fil ardh, and scientia sacra, none of which are peripheral but rather central to the Islamic worldview. The relationship between naturalistic intelligence and religious-ecological character is bidirectional and mutually reinforcing, operating through three sequential pathways: from naturalistic intelligence to theological consciousness, from theological consciousness to intrinsic ecological motivation, and from intrinsic motivation to consistent religious-ecological behavior. Islamic education management can optimize naturalistic intelligence development through four strategic pillars: reconstruction of the PAI curriculum based on ayat kauniyah, development of innovative eco-theological pedagogy, construction of an eco-conscious school culture, and strengthening of school-family-community partnerships. This study advances the concept of "Spiritual Eco-Literacy" as an original paradigmatic contribution to 21st-century Islamic education.

The research in this paper aims to explore the concepts and principles of the educational environment from the perspective of the Qur'an and Hadith using a tafsir tarbawi (educational exegesis) approach. The developmental dynamics of human potential, both spiritual and intellectual, do not occur in a vacuum but are heavily influenced by environmental factors (educational ecology). By employing textual, thematic, and contextual analysis methods on several key verses such as QS. Al-Alaq: 1-5, QS. At-Tahrim: 6, QS. Luqman: 13-19, QS. Al-Kahfi: 66-70, and QS. Al-Hujurat: 13 this study maps the Islamic educational ecosystem into several primary domains. The results of the analysis indicate that the Qur'an constructs the educational environment as an integrative macro-systemic unity, comprising the domestic family environment (as a fortress for moral and creedal protection), the formal academic school/pesantren environment (as a space for teacher-student etiquette and ethics), and the socio-communal environment (as an arena for egalitarian multicultural inclusivity). Furthermore, this study formulates five fundamental paradigms of Islamic educational ecology: the integralistic, tawhid (monotheistic), humanistic-egalitarian, gradual-systemic, and transformational-emancipatory paradigms. This theoretical reconstruction corrects Western secular empiricism while simultaneously providing a holistic foundation for educators in managing an educational environment that aligns with divine revelation values and the demands of modern civilization.

This study aims to explain the implementation of the three-act structure in scriptwriting for the feature video entitled “Jejak Rasa: Akar dari Tanah Priangan.” The background of this research is based on the tendency of audiovisual representations of cassava that remain partial, focusing only on either traditional or modern aspects without integrating both into a cohesive narrative. This study employs a qualitative approach based on creative practice, where the author acts as a scriptwriter responsible for designing the narrative flow using the three-act structure: set up, confrontation, and resolution. The production process consists of three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production, involving literature research, field observation, interviews with key informants, and the development of visual and audio narratives. The findings indicate that the implementation of the three-act structure successfully creates a systematic narrative that integrates historical, cultural, and modern dimensions of cassava transformation. This structure also effectively builds a coherent dramatic flow and enhances audience emotional engagement. The implications of this study are expected to provide references for academics and practitioners in developing research-based audiovisual scriptwriting, particularly in the context of local culture and gastronomy.

One of the most common problems faced by students is academic procrastination. This issue often leads to increased stress, poor academic performance, and difficulties in self-control. This study aims to examine academic procrastination behavior and evaluate the Solution Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) approach as an alternative intervention. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach in the form of a literature study. Data were obtained from various relevant scientific sources, including national and international journals, reference books, and previous research findings published within the last ten years. The data were analyzed using a content analysis technique by organizing the information into several main themes, including the factors causing academic procrastination, its impact on students, and the effectiveness of SFBC implementation. The findings indicate that academic procrastination is influenced by internal factors, such as low learning motivation, weak self-control, and poor time management skills. External factors also include an unconducive learning environment and a lack of social support. In addition, the results show that the SFBC technique helps students reduce task-delay behavior by setting clear goals, strengthening self-potential, and developing realistic solution plans. Therefore, SFBC can be considered a relevant and effective approach in guidance and counseling services to address academic procrastination.

Bullying is a common occurrence in schools and public settings, often affecting children. However, this issue often goes unnoticed because it is considered commonplace, despite the significant impact it can have on victims. This study aims to determine the impact of bullying on a child's personality and educational process. The impact of bullying on children who are victims of bullying is that victims experience physical and non-physical violence. These include frequent social isolation, a lack of close friends, poor relationships with parents, and declining mental health. The worst impact for children who are victims of bullying is depression and even suicide. This can lead to prolonged trauma for children who are victims of bullying. Furthermore, a child who is a victim of bullying will also experience learning and academic difficulties. One action that can be taken for a child who is a perpetrator or victim of bullying is to provide affection, trust, involve them in positive activities, and educate them about the negative impacts of bullying. Therefore, collaboration between schools, teachers, and parents is needed to address bullying against children.
