Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji strategi pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam menerjemahkan konsep-konsep teologis yang abstrak agar sesuai dengan perkembangan kognitif peserta didik usia sekolah dasar. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari pentingnya penanaman iman sejak dini dalam keluarga sebagai ecclesia domestica, yang kemudian dilanjutkan secara sistematis dalam pendidikan formal. Namun, pada jenjang sekolah dasar, pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen menghadapi tantangan karena materi teologis yang bersifat abstrak tidak selalu selaras dengan kemampuan berpikir anak. Berdasarkan teori perkembangan kognitif Jean Piaget, anak usia 7–12 tahun berada pada tahap operasional konkret, sehingga membutuhkan pendekatan pembelajaran yang kontekstual dan berbasis pengalaman nyata. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan hermeneutika-pedagogis untuk menganalisis strategi pengajaran Yesus dalam Injil Markus 4:1–33. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Yesus menerapkan strategi pembelajaran yang efektif melalui pengelolaan ruang belajar (spasial), penggunaan perumpamaan sebagai media naratif, serta pendekatan dialogis-partisipatif. Strategi ini memungkinkan terjadinya jembatan antara konsep abstrak Kerajaan Allah dengan realitas konkret kehidupan pendengar. Dengan demikian, integrasi antara pemahaman teks Alkitab dan pendekatan pedagogis yang sesuai dengan perkembangan kognitif menjadi kunci dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen yang efektif. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen perlu mengembangkan strategi kreatif dan kontekstual agar nilai-nilai iman tidak hanya dipahami secara kognitif, tetapi juga dihayati dan diimplementasikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari peserta didik.

To minimize these risks, preventive efforts are needed, such as enhancing digital literacy for both adolescents and parents, promoting ethical and safe online behavior, regulating screen time, strengthening parental guidance, implementing digital-wellness policies in schools, providing counseling services, developing more youth-friendly platforms, and enforcing government regulations on online safety. This study emphasizes that the wise, safe, and productive use of social media can only be achieved through collaborative efforts involving adolescents, families, schools, communities, platform providers, and the government.

Language is an important part of human life. Through language, humans can communicate with each other. In addition, language is used to convey ideas, thoughts, opinions, feelings, and thoughts to others. Language also serves as a tool for self-development and interaction with others. A language must have clear meaning so that when communication occurs, there is no misunderstanding in its delivery. Currently, there are several variations of language styles used in society. The existence of these variations is triggered by the rapid development of communication technology. This development has led to different language styles being used by each generation. Each generation has its own used by each generation. Each generation has its own distinctive language style. The use of proper and correct Indonesian is currently shifting and being replaced by slang, so that many people are now accustomed to using slang. This research employs a descriptive analysis and literature review method to examine this linguistic shift. The findings indicate that the high intensity of social media usage accelerates the spread of slang, which potentially diminishes teenagers' formal language skills. Consequently, effective strategies are needed to balance the use of slang as a social dynamic while preserving the Indonesian language as a vital national identity.

This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of an interactive quiz-based educational game on the topic of food chains and ecosystems for fifth-grade students. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages (Yusuf & Rahman, 2023). The participants were 25 students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest instruments and analyzed using the N-Gain formula to measure learning improvement. The findings indicate a moderate to high increase in students’ learning outcomes after the implementation of the developed media. In addition, students demonstrated greater participation during the learning process. These results suggest that interactive quiz-based educational games can serve as an effective alternative strategy to enhance conceptual understanding in elementary science education.

 Penelitian ini mengkaji peran media sosial dalam membentuk pemahaman keagamaan dan toleransi antarumat beragama di kalangan generasi muda Indonesia, yang semakin intens berinteraksi dengan wacana keagamaan melalui platform digital dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Media sosial tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sarana untuk mengakses pengetahuan agama, tetapi juga sebagai ruang interaksi lintas iman yang memungkinkan pertemuan berbagai perspektif. Namun, peluang tersebut berjalan beriringan dengan tantangan berupa misinformasi, konten provokatif, serta echo chamber berbasis algoritma yang berpotensi mendistorsi penafsiran ajaran agama dan memperkuat polarisasi. Penelitian ini berfokus pada dua permasalahan utama, yaitu bagaimana generasi muda menafsirkan pesan-pesan keagamaan yang ditemui di media sosial, serta faktor digital dan sosial apa saja yang memengaruhi apakah keterlibatan tersebut mendorong sikap toleran atau justru memicu kesalahpahaman. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam yang didukung oleh observasi awal untuk menggali pengalaman hidup pemuka agama dan generasi muda yang aktif dalam kegiatan keagamaan serta penggunaan media sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pesan keagamaan yang positif, kemampuan berpikir kritis, serta keteladanan figur agama dan publik berperan penting dalam memperkuat perspektif keagamaan yang moderat dan meningkatkan keterbukaan antariman. Sebaliknya, rendahnya literasi digital dan paparan informasi yang homogen berkontribusi terhadap kesalahpahaman serta terbatasnya dialog lintas agama. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada analisis terpadu antara praktik digital generasi muda dan perspektif otoritas keagamaan, sehingga memberikan pemahaman kontekstual mengenai dinamika komunikasi keagamaan di ruang digital. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa media sosial dapat mendorong harmoni antarumat beragama dan pendalaman pemahaman agama apabila didukung oleh produksi konten yang etis dan literasi digital yang kuat.

The digestive system is one of the most abstract and complex topics in high school biology because it involves physiological processes that occur inside the body and cannot be observed directly. This situation calls for the use of instructional media that can help students understand concepts in a more concrete, systematic, and engaging way. This study aims to analyze the effect of interactive multimedia on student learning outcomes regarding the digestive system and to identify the most effective type of multimedia. This study employs a meta-analysis method using secondary data from 20 relevant scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026. Data were collected through a literature review and systematic review, then analyzed using effect size calculations with Cohen’s and Hedges’ g formulas to determine the effectiveness level of each medium. The results indicate that the use of interactive multimedia generally has a positive effect on student learning outcomes, with most media falling into the high to very high effect size category. Interactive multimedia based on Articulate Storyline was the most effective medium with the highest effect size value of 2.730, followed by Augmented Reality-based E-Magazine at 2.634. These findings indicate that interactive multimedia is effective in facilitating the visualization of concepts and increasing student engagement.  

The development of digital technology has positioned video games beyond mere entertainment to become a cultural medium with the potential to influence players' social and political perspectives. In this context, video games are seen as relevant as a medium for political socialization because they present interactive narratives, moral choices, and social simulations that allow players to directly experience dilemmas of power, justice, responsibility, and state-citizen relations. This article aims to analyze the potential of video games as a medium for political socialization, examine narrative elements that influence the formation of political awareness, and examine the possibility of integrating the Indonesian socio-cultural context into game narratives. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review design through a search of various literature sources. The results indicate that video games can serve as a medium for informal political socialization through participatory experiences, moral reflection, and the immersive internalization of political values. This potential will be further enhanced by incorporating local Indonesian contexts, such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), diversity, and social justice. This study confirms that video games are worthy of being positioned as an educational-cultural medium that can expand political education models in the digital era.  

The issue of forest degradation caused by illegal logging in Indonesia poses a serious threat to ecosystem balance and the survival of wildlife. This condition highlights the need for effective visual communication media to deliver environmental education messages in a communicative and easily understandable manner. This study aims to design a 2D educational animation that illustrates the impact of illegal logging on forest ecosystems from the perspective of an endemic animal, the surili. The method used is a qualitative approach with animation production stages consisting of pre-production, production, and post-production. The pre-production stage includes idea development, research, scriptwriting, storyboard creation, and visual design. The production stage involves the creation of visual assets, backgrounds, and animation processes to construct the storyline. The post-production stage includes visual editing, audio integration, and rendering as the final output. The result of this study is a 2D animation entitled “Jaga Lingkungan Hindari Kepunahan Alam,” which presents a structured narrative to effectively convey educational messages. The implications of this work indicate that animation as an educational medium can enhance public awareness of the impacts of illegal logging and emphasize that forest destruction affects not only wildlife but also humans as part of the ecosystem.

Desa Motu is an area that experiences limited internet access due to the unavailability of conventional ISP services and weak cellular signal coverage. This study aims to develop a community-based RT/RW Net network system to provide internet access by utilizing Starlink as the main ISP and distributing connectivity through networking devices such as MikroTik routers, access points, switches, and fiber optic media. Network testing was conducted by measuring download and upload speeds using network testing ap-plications, evaluating connection stability through latency (ping) measurements, and assessing signal coverage at several user locations. The results show that the implemented RT/RW Net network is able to provide a stable internet connection with consistent speeds at different testing times, as well as optimal signal distribution across multiple measurement points. The authentication system using vouchers, PPPoE, hotspot login, and MAC Binding functions properly, and the free educational access feature also operates effectively. These findings indicate that the RT/RW Net–based community network model can serve as an affordable and sustainable solution for expanding internet access in rural areas.

Communication is an essential human right, yet a significant communication gap persists between individuals with sensory disabilities, specifically the deaf and speech-impaired, and the general public. While many technological solutions have been proposed to translate sign language, existing models primarily rely on heavy deep learning architectures such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) or Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN/LSTM). These models often demand high computational power, leading to latency and limiting real-time application on standard devices. This study proposes a lightweight, fast, and highly responsive sign language translation system specifically designed to recognize static alphabets (A-Z) and single-character air writing. The system utilizes MediaPipe for hand tracking, where feature extraction is intelligently processed by calculating the relative spatial coordinates of fingertips to the wrist, reducing dependency on raw camera coordinates. Classification is performed using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel, prioritizing computational efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. To enhance user experience, the system introduces three key novelties: smart relative feature extraction, an anti-duplication hold system with a 1-second timer to prevent input spamming, and a non-blocking multithreaded audio execution (Daemon Thread) utilizing Google Text-to-Speech (gTTS), ensuring the webcam feed remains fluid during audio playback. Additionally, an alternative air-writing mode is integrated, utilizing geometric heuristics and PyTesseract OCR to read single drawn letters in the air. The results indicate that the proposed system operates swiftly and efficiently, bridging the communication barrier with a hardware-friendly approach.

According to the International Agency for Cancer Registry (IACR), breast cancer is the most common cancer among women after lung cancer, and continues to be frequently diagnosed worldwide. In 2022, more than 2.32 million new cases of breast cancer were reported globally, while Indonesia recorded 65,858 cases (16.6% of all cancers). Therefore, adolescent girls need to have adequate knowledge and a positive attitude toward breast self-examination (BSE/SADARI) as part of reproductive health awareness and preventive efforts. This study aims to examine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes regarding SADARI among 10th-grade female students at MAN (State Islamic Senior High School) 3 Sleman. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, involving a sample of 66 respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing questions related to BSE. The Spearman Rank test showed a p-value of 0.606, which is greater than 0.05 (p > 0.05). This indicates that there is no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward BSE among 10th-grade female students at MAN 3 Sleman. In addition, the correlation coefficient (r) was 0.065, indicating a very weak relationship between knowledge and attitudes. There is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes regarding BSE among 10th-grade female students at MAN 3 Sleman. Schools and healthcare providers are encouraged to enhance structured and continuous BSE education and incorporate educational media during health counseling to foster positive attitudes.
