To address these challenges, the evaluation of KSP implementation needs to be strengthened by improving teachers' competencies, developing relevant learning materials, and enhancing ongoing curriculum supervision. By doing so, KSP can be optimized to achieve better educational outcomes in Indonesia.  

This article discusses the modernity of educational instruments, along with the phenomenon of technological progress, particularly the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), and its implications for educators in the 21st century. Rapid advances in AI have led to fundamental shifts in teaching strategies and resources, shifting from traditional models to personalized and adaptive learning environments. Through automated assessments, curriculum customization, and the implementation of virtual assistants that enhance accessibility, artificial intelligence (AI) in education aims to improve efficiency and effectiveness. However, this modernity requires educators in the 21st century to change. Teachers now play the role of facilitators, designers of learning experiences, and mentors in ethics, in addition to being providers of knowledge. Teachers need to master AI literacy and focus on teaching students the four Cs of the 21st century: communication, creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. The integration of AI raises ethical issues related to data privacy, the digital divide, and the dangers of plagiarism, but it also offers significant potential. Therefore, the effective integration of AI technology with irreplaceable human qualities is crucial for the success of contemporary educational technology. AI is an important tool for educators in the 21st century to develop a generation of technologically literate and moral individuals.

The creative Sunday School teaching program at GKSI Imanuel Teretek was implemented as a community service initiative focused on increasing children’s enthusiasm for participating in spiritual activities.

Fifth grade students' consistently poor reading comprehension abilities, which impeded their overall academic development and participation in language acquisition, served as the driving force for this study. Using a comic assisted problem based learning (PBL) model, the study, which involved 39 students at SDN Purwamekar, aimed to improve learning activities in order to increase teacher and student participation and, eventually, improve fifth grade students' reading comprehension skills. By using comic strips to illustrate issues, this creative method made learning more engaging and accessible for younger students. In order to enable iterative improvements, the study was conducted over two cycles using classroom action research technique. Only 25% of students (eight people) successfully completed the learning objectives in the first cycle, according to preliminary findings, while 75% (24 students) failed, suggesting difficulties with student motivation and comprehension. This led to changes like improving comic material and fostering more cooperative conversations. Significant progress was seen by the second cycle, with 30 students meeting the completion criteria and only four falling short of the objectives, indicating improved engagement and skill growth. In conclusion, the comic assisted PBL model effectively boosted reading comprehension skills among fifth grade students. The research underscores the value of integrating visual aids and problem solving in education, offering practical insights for teachers to create more dynamic classrooms. Nonetheless, factors like time constraints and resource availability warrant further exploration to ensure sustainable implementation in diverse educational settings.

The student admission process in many educational institutions is still conducted manually, leading to issues such as data duplication, input errors, and delays in reporting. This study designs and implements a desktop-based student registration information system using VB.NET and MySQL, equipped with an admission-status checking feature and an automated quota-management module. The system was developed using the waterfall model, consisting of requirement analysis, system design using UML, implementation, and black-box testing. Two user roles are supported: admin and student. Admin users can manage applicant data, configure program quotas, open or close the registration period, and generate reports, while student users can create accounts, complete registration forms, and independently check their admission results. The implementation results show that all core functions operate validly based on testing involving two respondents. The quota-management feature successfully restricts the number of applicants according to predetermined capacities, and the admission-status module automatically displays pass or fail results. The system improves administrative efficiency, enhances data accuracy, and reduces reliance on manual record-keeping. Therefore, this desktop application serves as an effective solution for schools requiring a reliable and efficient admission management system without depending on stable internet connectivity.

This study compares the Islamic religious education systems in Indonesia and Malaysia with a particular focus on curriculum design and its implementation within secondary schools. Using a qualitative research approach, data were gathered through document analysis and interviews with educators and school administrators from both countries.

Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is an essential component of hospital digital transformation aimed at improving administrative efficiency and service quality. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the implementation of EMR in outpatient registration at a private hospital in North Jakarta. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining quantitative data collected from questionnaires completed by 30 registration staff with qualitative data obtained through structured interviews and direct observation. The logistic regression analysis revealed that Training and Staff Competence (X2) had a significant positive effect on outpatient registration (OR 30.663; p=0.040), while System Integration and Data Security (X4) also showed a significant effect (OR 15.121; p=0.047). In contrast, Technological Infrastructure Readiness (X1) was positive but not significant (p=0.112), and Organizational Culture and Managerial Support (X3) was negative and not significant (p=0.954). Simultaneously, the model explained 72.1% of the variation in registration effectiveness (Nagelkerke R²=0.721) with a classification accuracy of 93.3%. Qualitative findings supported the quantitative results, highlighting insufficient staff training, persistent technical issues in BPJS system bridging, and difficulties faced by elderly patients in adapting to digital registration. Elderly patients still required staff assistance and simple educational media such as tutorial videos displayed in hospital waiting areas. This study concludes that staff competence and system integration are the key determinants of successful EMR implementation in outpatient registration. It is recommended that hospitals strengthen continuous training programs, improve network and server stability, and expand patient education initiatives to ensure effective, efficient, and patient-friendly digital services.
