Learning is a process of interaction between students, educators, and learning resources in a learning environment. The effectiveness of learning is greatly influenced by the teacher's ability to manage the class. At SDI Manumuti, a third-grade teacher demonstrated good classroom management in thematic learning, especially on the theme of caring for living things. Classroom management is an important factor in creating a conducive learning atmosphere so that the learning process can take place optimally. This study aims to explore more deeply the role of teachers in managing the class in thematic learning. The study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and interviews, while data analysis was carried out inductively through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teachers play an important role in creating and maintaining conducive classroom conditions. These efforts are carried out through two main strategies. First, teachers prioritize three aspects in learning, namely: (1) strengthening character education through discussion activities that encourage students to appear in front of the class, thereby fostering self-confidence, discipline, and activeness; (2) strengthening literacy through reading materials or stories related to the theme at the beginning of the meeting; and (3) the application of 4C skills (Creative, Critical thinking, Communicative, and Collaborative) through varied learning activities, including learning outside the classroom to avoid boredom. Second, teachers often use discussion methods to train students to express opinions, speak in front of the class, and work together. This method is considered effective in building students' self-confidence and social skills.

This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of the concept of meritocracy in education management as an effort to prevent nepotism in the recruitment process for elementary school teachers. Meritocracy is seen as an approach that emphasizes individual competence, qualifications, and achievements in the selection process for educators, while nepotism is often an obstacle in creating a professional and ethical educational environment. This study uses a quantitative descriptive method with data collection through questionnaires distributed to students in education study programs who have acquired a basic understanding of educational management and teacher recruitment systems. The data were analyzed to describe the students' level of understanding, attitudes, and views on the application of meritocracy principles and their awareness of the negative impacts of nepotism in the world of education. The results show that the majority of students have a positive perception of meritocracy as a fair and effective system for improving the quality of educators. However, some students acknowledge that nepotism is still common in the education sector and is considered to undermine professionalism and public trust. These findings emphasize the importance of instilling meritocratic values from the university level and strengthening competency-based recruitment policies to support the creation of a transparent and high-quality education system.

The digital era requires companies to adapt to modern, efficient, and accurate taxation systems. This study aims to analyze the implementation of an integrated system to optimize tax administration processes in a port service company in Indonesia. The focus of this research is to examine how the integration of systems such as SAP, Coretax, Microsoft Excel, and digital banking platforms is utilized to manage Income Tax Article 23 (PPh 23), Value Added Tax (VAT), and the tax reimbursement process. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design, conducted through participatory observation, document analysis, and informal interviews with employees directly involved in tax administration. The results indicate that the integrated system positively impacts the efficiency, consistency, and reliability of tax administration processes. It helps streamline workflows and accelerate tax reporting, particularly in managing PPh 23 and VAT. However, weaknesses remain in the manual data recap stage using Microsoft Excel, which is prone to human error due to the absence of automatic validation mechanisms. Therefore, this study recommends developing a standardized Excel template equipped with automatic validation features and providing training for staff to enhance data accuracy and administrative effectiveness. These findings are expected to serve as a practical reference for other companies in implementing an integrated taxation system that is optimal and sustainable, as well as encouraging increased efficiency and compliance with tax administration in the corporate environment.

Islamic boarding schools and madrassas play an important role in the formation of religious character and education in Indonesia. The transformation of the regulations of these two institutions is crucial to adjust educational practices to the principles of the state of law of Pancasila. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the regulation of Islamic boarding schools and madrasah diniyyah and its impact on the internalization of Pancasila values. The method used is qualitative descriptive through the study of documents, including laws and regulations and related literature. The results of the study show that there are significant changes, such as formal recognition of institutional status, curriculum standards, and accreditation mechanisms, which strengthen operational legality and the application of Pancasila values. In addition, the latest regulations also encourage the improvement of the quality of governance, transparency of institutional management, and strengthening the role of the community in the education process. The implementation of these regulations also provides space for learning innovation, integration of religious moderation, and adaptation to social development. In conclusion, the harmonization of these regulations allows for religious education that is relevant to the national context while maintaining religious identity. This research provides the basis for the development of a balanced Islamic education policy between state authorities, the needs of students, and the autonomy of educational institutions in the face of modern challenges and increasingly complex social changes.

This study addresses citizenship justice in Indonesia amid the challenging era of globalization, focusing on the conflict between Pancasila as the state foundation and the dominant Islamic values in society. The study aims to analyze the synergy of Islamic principles—justice (ʿadl), equality (musawah), and public welfare (maslahah)—with the second and fifth principles of Pancasila to build sustainable and inclusive citizenship justice. The method used is qualitative, including content analysis and an in-depth literature review of the Qur'an, Hadith, and Pancasila documents, supplemented by semi-structured interviews with 20 experts in religion and constitutional law. The findings reveal a new conceptual framework called "Islamic Pancasila," which integrates the principle of tauhid with the value of gotong royong (mutual cooperation), reducing social polarization by up to 30% based on case simulations in multicultural areas like West Java. Islamic values provide a spiritual dimension that complements Pancasila, while Pancasila offers an inclusive nationalist framework. The study concludes that the synergy between Islamic values and Pancasila is not only a theoretical solution but also a practical strategy for realizing citizenship justice. Recommendations include integrating these values into the civic education curriculum and government policies to facilitate interfaith dialogue, strengthening national identity amid contemporary social and cultural dynamics.
