This study aims to explain the urgency of instilling character values in education in the modern era, describe the strategies or approaches used in the educational environment, and identify challenges and solutions in their implementation. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, with the research subjects consisting of teachers, students, and principals at primary and secondary education levels. The results show that the cultivation of character values such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, tolerance, and cooperation is very important to form learners who not only excel in academics, but also have moral integrity and emotional maturity. Strategies used in character cultivation include integration of character values in learning, habituation of positive attitudes, teacher role models, and extracurricular activities. The main challenges in implementing character education are the negative influence of digital media, the weak role of the family, and the lack of consistency in character development. Solutions include improving educators' competence in character education, strengthening cooperation between schools and parents, and creating a school environment that supports a positive culture. Thus, character education should be an integral part of the education system, through synergistic cooperation between schools, families and communities.

This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are integrated into the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum of the Primary School Teacher Education Program (PGMI) at the Al-Zaytun Islamic Institute of Indonesia. Responding to the limited number of empirical curriculum studies linking OBE and sustainability, this research adopts a library research design supported by structured content analysis of curriculum documents, including Graduate Learning Outcomes (CPL), Course Learning Objectives (CPMK), and assessment rubrics. The analytical rubric was developed based on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) indicators recommended by UNESCO. Findings indicate that only 30% of CPL and 22.7% of CPMK explicitly incorporate SDG values, with the dominant themes being inclusive education, social empathy, and critical thinking. The remaining components either indirectly address sustainability principles or primarily focus on technical pedagogical aspects. This reveals a misalignment between the curriculum’s current structure and the transformative vision of ESD and SDGs. Methodologically, this research contributes by offering a replicable rubric for assessing curriculum sustainability. Conceptually, it establishes a link between the OBE framework and sustainability values within Islamic teacher education. Practically, the findings provide actionable insights for curriculum developers and policymakers to enhance alignment with global sustainability agendas. The study emphasizes the strategic role of PGMI in fostering sustainability-oriented educators and advocates for systemic curriculum reform to produce future teachers equipped with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to address contemporary global challenges. Strengthening the integration of SDGs within OBE-based curricula is essential for higher education institutions to actively contribute to the realization of a sustainable future.

This study examined the effectiveness of applying the Logan Avenue Problem Solving (LAPS-Heuristic) learning model on mathematics learning outcomes among Class VII students at Wusto Imam An-Nasai Gowa using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The population consisted of all seventh-grade students enrolled in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. A learning outcome test was employed as the primary research instrument to measure students’ performance before and after the implementation of the learning model. The data analysis involved descriptive statistical methods combined with gain tests to assess the extent of improvement. The findings revealed that students’ mathematics achievement fell predominantly within the very high category, with 53.85% of learners classified in this range, indicating a notable increase in category levels compared to their pretest performance. Furthermore, the percentage of students who successfully met the required minimum competency standards after the application of the LAPS-Heuristic model reached 96.15%. This outcome clearly illustrates that the vast majority of students—over 85%—achieved or exceeded the established passing threshold, suggesting that the integration of the LAPS-Heuristic approach was highly effective in enhancing mathematics learning outcomes. Overall, the results underscore that the LAPS-Heuristic learning model can serve as a practical and impactful strategy to improve student engagement, comprehension, and mastery of mathematical concepts in junior high school settings.

The low interest and engagement of lower-grade primary school students in literature serve as an important introduction to this study. The aim of this Community Service Program (PKM) was to enhance children’s literary abilities through the use of three innovative media: word cards, short story videos, and descriptive texts. The study employed an experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design and a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach based on Kemmis & McTaggart (1988), carried out among grades I–III students at SD Katolik Roworeke 2, Ende (approximately 25–30 students per class). Results showed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group, especially in literary element comprehension and literary appreciation. Word cards enriched vocabulary, story videos increased visual appeal and understanding, while descriptive texts trained literacy and imagination skills. The interactive and contextual learning process proved effective in fostering reading interest, teacher creativity, and students’ literacy enthusiasm. In conclusion, this method is recommended for adoption by Indonesian Language and Literature teachers in lower grades. Future research should expand sample size, include diverse literary works, and explore supporting factors influencing method effectiveness.

This Community Service (PKM) aims to increase the effectiveness of English language learning in second grade students of Mbomba Catholic Elementary School through the utilization of picture board media.

Education is the primary foundation for developing competitive and high-quality human resources; therefore, the management of educational institutions such as schools and madrasahs requires a structured, efficient, and quality-oriented management system. This study aims to examine the implementation of management in the administration of schools/madrasahs, covering the basic concepts of educational management, the role of school principals, stages of implementation, and related strategies. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through literature studies from various academic sources. The results show that effective educational management includes an integrated process of planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising all educational resources. The school principal plays a central role as a transformational leader who directs the vision and success of the institution. The implementation process includes stages of socialization, piloting, and dissemination, while the strategies involve school categorization, phased programs, and regulatory strengthening. This entire managerial process is essential in building adaptive, accountable, and high-quality educational institutions.

Adolescence is a critical phase in individual development, especially for adolescent girls who begin to experience menstruation as a sign of reproductive maturity. However, not all adolescents experience menstruation normally; some experience disorders such as menstrual pain, irregular cycles, and prolonged bleeding. This study aims to explore in depth the subjective experiences of adolescent girls with menstrual disorders at SMP Negeri 2 Bunta, Banggai Regency, focusing on the nature of the disorders experienced, their interpretation of these experiences, coping strategies, and the social support received. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The primary informants were female adolescents in grades VII–IX who had experienced menstrual disorders in the past six months, selected purposively until data saturation was achieved. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that menstrual disorders are viewed as normal by most informants, despite causing physical discomfort and psychological anxiety. Adolescents' responses to these disorders vary, ranging from the use of warm compresses and medication to no intervention at all. The primary sources of information are mothers and social media, while the roles of teachers and schools remain limited. Social support is most commonly provided by family, although some adolescents also feel supported by peers and teachers. This study emphasizes the importance of systematic reproductive health education, school involvement in supporting adolescents, and the creation of safe and stigma-free discussion spaces regarding menstruation-related issues.
