The increasing demands for teacher professionalism are not always accompanied by adequate welfare, especially in Islamic educational institutions. This study aims to describe the role of the madrasah principal’s entrepreneurial competence in improving teacher welfare at MAN 2 Kudus in the 2024/2025 academic year. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were gathered through observations, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The study focuses on three aspects: the implementation of entrepreneurial competence, supporting and inhibiting factors, and the outcomes achieved. The findings show that the principal has demonstrated strong entrepreneurial competence, such as innovation, motivation, persistence, and the ability to manage school-based business units. Supporting factors include multiple income sources, high commitment from leadership and the school committee, and the professional status of most teachers. Inhibiting factors involve teacher workload, limitations on government education funds (BOS), and the underperformance of school businesses. Despite challenges, the entrepreneurial competence of the principal has positively impacted teacher welfare in economic, professional, and psychological aspects.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan kemampuan berpikir kreatif matematis siswa kelas VII SMP Al Farabi pada materi geometri. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan melibatkan seluruh siswa kelas VII sebanyak 71 orang. Data diperoleh melalui tes tertulis berupa empat soal terbuka berbasis geometri yang dirancang untuk menggali empat indikator berpikir kreatif, yaitu kelancaran (fluency), keluwesan (flexibility), keaslian (originality), dan elaborasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif siswa tergolong “baik” pada setiap indikator, dengan skor tertinggi pada keluwesan (75,35%) dan terendah pada keaslian (61,27%). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun siswa telah memiliki kemampuan berpikir kreatif yang cukup baik, pengembangan ide-ide orisinal masih perlu ditingkatkan. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan menjadi bahan masukan bagi guru untuk merancang strategi pembelajaran yang lebih relevan dan mendukung pengembangan kreativitas siswa

This study explores the philosophical and theological implications of John Dewey's pedagogical thought, particularly his emphasis on reflective practice and experiential learning, within the context of Contemporary Christian Religious Education (PAK). Despite its potential to foster active, student-centered learning, a significant gap exists in deeply examining how Dewey's principles align with or challenge PAK's theological aim of faith formation. This qualitative library research, employing Miles and Huberman's data analysis model, addresses this gap by synthesizing Dewey's pedagogical concepts with the Christian theology of spiritual growth, particularly informed by 1 Corinthians 3:6, which posits that God gives the increase. The findings reveal that Dewey's experiential learning framework can profoundly enrich PAK by shifting the teacher's role from a primary knowledge dispenser to a facilitator who guides students in applying biblical truths to real-life experiences. This approach encourages holistic development encompassing cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. However, the implementation necessitates a robust theological filter, maintaining that biblical truth is final and acknowledging God's sovereignty in true spiritual growth. The study concludes that while Dewey's pedagogy provides practical strategies for student engagement and character development, its successful integration into PAK hinges on a clear understanding of its theological boundaries, ensuring that pedagogical flexibility is balanced with doctrinal integrity. This research offers a theoretical foundation for transformative PAK practices, aiming to cultivate knowledgeable Christian students with deep and active faith.

The purpose of this article is to describe the perceptions of physical education teachers and class teachers towards the role of physical education in improving the emotional well-being of elementary school students. The main focus of the discussion is how PJOK lessons not only have an impact on physical development, but also support students' emotional growth, self-confidence, discipline, and social interaction.

Microteaching is an essential component in preparing students of the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) program to become competent professional educators. This study aims to analyze effective strategies for mastering teaching materials during microteaching courses for PGSD students. Optimal mastery of subject matter requires not only a deep understanding of content but also the ability to adapt to the characteristics of primary school students, the use of varied teaching methods, and effective communication skills. This study employs a literature review methodology and analyzes best practices from various educational institutions. The results indicate that strategies for mastering teaching materials in microteaching involve five key dimensions: systematic material preparation through curriculum analysis and in-depth literature study; material organization using a logically structured approach; material presentation with diverse learning models and appropriate media; continuous evaluation using assessment for learning techniques; and self-development through continuous learning and consistent practice. The implementation of this integrated strategy has been proven to increase student confidence, improve the quality of material delivery, and optimize teaching readiness in primary school settings. These findings offer significant contributions to the development of PGSD curricula and the enhancement of the quality of future primary school teachers in Indonesia.

This study aims to identify and analyze the challenges faced by novice teachers in implementing a dual curriculum—which includes the national curriculum and Islamic curriculum—in Islamic Elementary Schools (SDI). The dual curriculum in SDI requires integration between mastery of general knowledge and instilling strong Islamic values. However, in practice, novice teachers experience various difficulties, ranging from limited understanding of the two types of curriculum, heavy administrative burdens, to social and cultural pressures of religious schools. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature studies, by analyzing relevant academic literature from journals, proceedings, and scientific books in the last ten years. The results of the analysis show that novice teachers experience challenges in pedagogical, structural, psychological, and cultural aspects. They often feel unprepared to develop integrative teaching materials, manage time effectively, and meet institutional and parental expectations. The lack of mentoring, training, and assistance programs also worsen the situation, causing work stress and the risk of burnout. This study concludes that the challenges faced by novice teachers in the context of the dual curriculum are systemic and require a structured and sustainable solution approach, such as strengthening integrated training, integrating curriculum management, and developing a professional development system that supports the pedagogical and spiritual development of novice teachers.

This study aims to analyze the ability of elementary school teachers in compiling digital student learning outcome reports, and to identify the factors that influence it. This study was conducted through a library research method by reviewing various scientific articles, books, and empirical reports related to the use of technology in elementary education. The results of the study indicate that teachers' ability in digital reporting is influenced by age, educational background, teaching experience, and involvement in ICT training. The use of reporting applications such as Microsoft Excel, e-Rapor, and Learning Management System (LMS) is still limited, especially in advanced features that actually greatly support reporting efficiency. The main obstacles faced by teachers include lack of ongoing training, limited infrastructure, administrative burden, and mental attitude towards technology. As an improvement strategy, this study recommends tiered technical training, technical guidance at the school level, strengthening learning communities such as KKG and MGMP, and integration of ICT training in the Continuous Professional Development (PKB) program. This research is expected to be the basis for making policies that are more adaptive to the needs of teachers in the digital era.
