The government places the protection of women and children in Surabaya City as a top priority in efforts to reduce the annual surge of violence. To strengthen prevention, handling, and the fulfillment of women’s and children’s rights at the community level, the Surabaya City Government issued Regional Regulation No. 3 of 2023 concerning the Implementation of Child Protection, which is then implemented through the Program of Women- and Child-Friendly Arek Suroboyo Village (KAS-RPA). Focusing on Benowo District and Kandangan Subdistrict, this study aims to examine the synergy of policies among stakeholders in the implementation of the KAS-RPA program. To obtain a real understanding of the implementation conditions, this research applied a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. A shared perception among DP3APPKB Office, Benowo District, Kandangan Subdistrict, and Kandangan village cadres in supporting the implementation of the KAS-RPA program demonstrates the level of policy synergy achieved, according to the research findings. Communication patterns among institutions also take place openly and in a structured manner through regular coordination. The attitudes of policy actors indicate a positive commitment to the success of the program, supported by a clear and well-coordinated organizational structure. However, limitations in resources still exist, such as the lack of supporting facilities and the insufficient number of active cadres, affecting program optimization. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of enhancing resource support and community participation to ensure a more sustainable implementation of the policy and a direct impact on reducing violence against women and children in Surabaya.

The background of this study is the practice of open defecation (OD), which is a public health problem. OD refers to the act of disposing of feces in open areas such as rice fields, fields, bushes, rivers, and beaches, which can pollute the environment, soil, air, and water. This study aims to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the community in RT 05 Haya Village, Tehoru District, Central Maluku Regency regarding stopping ODD. This study used a descriptive method, with a sample of 40 families selected through a random sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The results showed that most people had quite good knowledge about ODD, with 50% of respondents in the quite good category. Community attitudes were also quite good, with 70% of respondents showing a positive attitude towards stopping ODD. However, community actions were still less good, with 42.5% of respondents showing less good actions regarding ODD. The conclusion of this study is that although the knowledge and attitudes of the community in Haya Village were quite good, their actions were still lacking. Therefore, cooperation is needed between the village government, Tehoru Health Center, and community leaders to regularly hold outreach regarding BABS.

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of Indonesian language education in strengthening national identity and culture amid the increasingly complex dynamics of globalization. Indonesian holds a strategic position as both the national and state language, functioning not only as a means of communication but also as a symbol of national unity, a marker of collective identity, and a medium for transmitting national cultural values. However, globalization—characterized by the dominance of foreign languages, particularly English, rapid digital transformation, and changing language attitudes among younger generations—poses serious challenges to the ideological and cultural functions of Indonesian, especially within formal education. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, classroom observations of Indonesian language learning practices, and document analysis of curricula and instructional materials at secondary and higher education levels. The data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation to ensure the trustworthiness of the findings. The results indicate that Indonesian language education that integrates national values, literary texts, and cultural elements plays a significant role in fostering students’ awareness of national identity and positive attitudes toward the Indonesian language. Moreover, Indonesian language learning functions as a form of cultural practice that contributes to the preservation of national cultural values. Nevertheless, the study reveals challenges related to students’ pragmatic orientation toward global languages and the dominance of foreign languages in digital spaces. Therefore, strengthening Indonesian language education through integrative, contextual, and adaptive curricula and pedagogical practices is essential to address global challenges while sustaining Indonesia’s national identity and cultural continuity.

External factors include leadership style, salary, work environment, and organizational support, each playing a crucial role in shaping employees’ sense of stability and fairness. The results highlight that positive work attitudes and effective communication are the most dominant contributors to employee satisfaction, strengthened by adequate compensation and supportive supervision from leaders. The study concludes that job satisfaction can be further improved through transparent communication, equitable reward systems, and consistent leadership involvement in employee development. These findings provide practical implications for management, particularly in formulating more responsive human resource strategies aimed at enhancing employee performance and organizational effectiveness.

Religious moderation represents one of the fundamental values in shaping a tolerant, inclusive, and civilized national character. Integrating the values of religious moderation into the basic education curriculum serves as a strategic effort to instill moderate religious attitudes from an early age. This article aims to analyze the concept, urgency, and implementation of integrating religious moderation values within Indonesia’s basic education curriculum. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature review, this study finds that the implementation of religious moderation can be realized through strengthening the Pancasila student profile, promoting interfaith learning, and embedding the values of tolerance and justice across all subjects. The findings indicate that a curriculum incorporating religious moderation not only develops students’ cognitive competencies but also fosters a religious character that appreciates diversity. The study concludes that religious moderation in the curriculum can significantly improve students' cognitive development, while simultaneously cultivating a religious character that embodies the values of tolerance, justice, and social responsibility. Such integration is vital to ensuring a peaceful and prosperous future for the nation.

This study examines the increasing prevalence of premarital sexual behavior among Indonesian adolescents, including Catholic youths, which poses a significant challenge to the moral formation and faith development promoted by the Catholic Church. Using a qualitative method with a literature study approach, this research analyzes the phenomenon of adolescent free sex from the perspective of Catholic moral theology and family pastoral care. The findings reveal that the rise of free sexual behavior among adolescents is strongly influenced by curiosity, fragmented family structures, weak value-based sexual education, and the unregulated use of digital media. Moral theology views sexuality as a divine gift whose authentic meaning is realized only within the sacramental bond of marriage; therefore, premarital sex is considered a deviation from human dignity and the true nature of love. The study also highlights the essential role of the family as the Domestic Church in shaping conscience, character, and responsible sexual attitudes among youths. Pastoral strategies proposed include integral sexual education, strengthening parent–child communication in the digital age, and contextual pastoral accompaniment rooted in compassion, as emphasized in Amoris Laetitia. This research underscores the need for collaborative efforts between families, the Church, and educational institutions to guide young people toward a holistic understanding of sexuality, authentic love, and their Christian vocation in contemporary society.  

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in teaching personal and official letter writing, and to examine its impact on improving the writing skills of Grade VII B students at SMP Negeri 2 Banjarmasin. The study is motivated by students’ difficulties in distinguishing the structure and language style of personal and official letters, as well as their low engagement in the learning process. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The instruments included writing tests (pre-test and post-test) and observation sheets to assess students’ activities and attitudes. The results indicate that PBL positively influences students' writing abilities. This is evidenced by a significant increase in the average post-test scores compared to the pre-test, along with improvements in critical thinking, collaboration, and independence. Students also demonstrated better understanding of the structural and linguistic features of both types of letters. Thus, the PBL model is recommended as an effective instructional strategy to enhance the quality of writing instruction, particularly within the framework of the Kurikulum Merdeka.

Globalization is a major phenomenon that brings rapid changes in the mindset, behavior, and culture of society, including students in formal educational settings. This condition presents significant challenges for Islamic Religious Education, which plays a crucial role in shaping character and internalizing Islamic values. This study aims to analyze how globalization influences students’ understanding, attitudes, and practices of Islamic values, as well as how Islamic Religious Education can respond adaptively to these changes. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature study method that reviews books, scholarly articles, and relevant documents related to globalization, Islamic education, and character formation. Data were analyzed through processes of collection, classification, and interpretation to identify patterns of global influence on Islamic values. The findings reveal that globalization offers two major impacts: opportunities for the development of religious literacy through technological and informational access, and threats in the form of external values such as hedonism, individualism, and decreasing religious sensitivity. These findings highlight the need for educational strategies that balance the use of technology with the reinforcement of Islamic character, including the integration of Islamic values into digital-based learning, strengthening teacher role modeling, and habituating moral behavior within school activities. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of innovation in Islamic Religious Education to maintain the relevance of Islamic values amid the ongoing developments of globalization.

Adolescent drug abuse remains a major public health concern with adverse consequences for health, social functioning, and educational attainment. Limited knowledge and poor refusal skills in the face of environmental pressure are key risk factors. This study assessed the outcomes of a school-based Participatory Action Research (PAR) intervention aimed at improving students’ knowledge and preventive attitudes toward drug abuse. The program was implemented at Madrasah Aliyah Manaratul Islam, Jakarta (August 2025), involving 57 students. The educational intervention combined interactive counseling, small-group discussions, and role-play simulations, followed by pre–post evaluation using the same questionnaire and quantitative analysis with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in post-test scores compared with pre-test scores (Z = −3.506; p < 0.001; r = 0.46), with a mean paired difference (pre–post) of −0.877 indicating a positive shift after the intervention. Descriptively, the proportion of students classified with high awareness increased to 87.7% after the program, while mean knowledge scores rose from 63.2% to 85.5%. Qualitative feedback further suggested better understanding of physical and psychological harms, increased confidence to refuse illicit substances, and more active communication with peers and teachers. Overall, the PAR-based school intervention effectively strengthened students’ drug-abuse prevention literacy and readiness and may be scalable to similar school settings.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Christian Religious Education (CRE) program in enhancing the quality of classroom learning through a qualitative approach. The main focus of this research includes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the CRE program, as well as its contribution to improving students' understanding of Christian values, character formation, and active participation in the learning process. Data were collected through direct classroom observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and document analysis of learning tools and the curriculum used. The findings indicate that a contextually designed CRE program that aligns with students' needs can create a more reflective and participatory learning environment. Teachers with both pedagogical and spiritual competence play a crucial role in effectively communicating Christian values through teaching methods, exemplary behavior, and daily interactions with students. Furthermore, the integration of learning content with real-life situations encourages students to internalize Christian teachings in their attitudes and behaviors, both in school and in their daily lives. However, the study also identified several challenges, such as limited instructional time, a lack of value-based learning media development, and difficulties in motivating students with weak spiritual backgrounds. Therefore, strengthening teacher capacity, developing more creative teaching methods, and institutional support from schools are essential to optimize the role of CRE in fostering a holistic and transformative learning experience.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning methods are strategies used by teachers to effectively convey Islamic teachings so that they are easily understood, internalized, and practiced by students. The application of appropriate methods can create a more engaging, active, and meaningful learning process, enabling students not only to acquire knowledge but also to develop Islamic attitudes and personalities. In the context of modern education, PAI learning needs to integrate a variety of approaches, ranging from lectures, discussions, demonstrations, to hands-on, experiential learning. Furthermore, learning environments such as museums, mosques, monuments, and open spaces can be utilized as resources and supporting learning media, even if these places are not specifically designed for teaching and learning activities. Utilizing these environments provides real-life experiences that help students understand Islamic values ​​contextually. Thus, PAI learning methods play a crucial role in realizing a holistic, comprehensive educational process oriented toward the formation of Islamic character.
