The risk of accidents in the school environment is quite high, but the ability of the School Health Business Team (UKS) to handle emergencies is often still limited to theoretical knowledge without adequate practical skills. This study aims to analyze the influence of the Role Playing and Emergency Simulation (RANGGA) method on the improvement of the knowledge and skills of the UKS Team in junior high school. This study used a quasi-experiment design with a pre-post test with control group design. The research sample amounted to 60 respondents which were taken by purposive sampling technique. The intervention group was given RANGGA training, while the control group was given conventional education. The data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test because the data distribution was abnormal. In the intervention group, there was an increase in the average knowledge score from 88.7 to 97.9 and the skill score from 87.99 to 97.98. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of p<0.001 for both variables in the intervention group, indicating a very strong influence of the RANGGA method. In contrast, although the control group experienced an improvement, the variation in scores remained higher and the improvement was not as significant as the intervention group. The RANGGA method is significantly effective in improving the emergency competence of the UKS Team through an experiential learning approach. It is recommended for school institutions to integrate simulation and role play methods in the UKS training curriculum to ensure optimal emergency response readiness.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) orientation program at the Jambi Province Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM). The research focuses on George C. Edward III's 1980 policy implementation theory, which encompasses communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation, with informants determined using a purposive sampling technique. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the PPPK Orientation Program has run quite well and has been able to improve participants' understanding of the duties, functions, and core values ​​of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). However, several obstacles remain in its implementation, namely internet and electricity network constraints, the lack of effective online learning, lack of participant discipline during the activity, and limited supervision and number of committee members. These obstacles affect the optimization of the learning process and the effectiveness of the online orientation activities. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the quality of program implementation through the development of more interactive learning methods, the provision of adequate facilities, and further evaluation and mentoring to improve the competence and professionalism of ASN.

Learning planning is a strategic component of instructional management because it guides teachers in linking objectives, materials, learning strategies, media, and assessment with students' characteristics. In practice, however, learning plans are often prepared individually and tend to be administrative, so teachers have limited opportunities to reflect on pedagogical decisions with colleagues. This study aims to describe and analyze collaborative-based learning planning management in improving teachers' pedagogical competence at SD Negeri Batujaya. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study strategy. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The field data show that SD Negeri Batujaya has nine educators and education personnel consisting of one principal, six classroom teachers, and two subject teachers. The school also holds a teacher learning community twice a month. The findings indicate that collaborative planning is supported by the principal's academic leadership, the small number of teachers that enables intensive coordination, and the existence of a routine learning community. Collaboration helps teachers discuss teaching modules, student characteristics, learning strategies, media, and assessment. The main constraints are limited time, unequal teacher participation, and limited learning facilities. The study implies that a structured learning community can serve as a practical managerial strategy for strengthening teachers' pedagogical competence in elementary schools.

The rapid growth of digital technology has encouraged school counseling services to adapt to the needs of students who are highly connected to digital media. This study aimed to audit the implementation of Digital Counseling Reality in counseling services at SMA Negeri 15 Medan to examine the level of technology integration within counseling practices. Data were collected through interviews, observations, document reviews, and digital audit instruments involving the counseling coordinator, school counselors, and students. The findings revealed that the school has utilized social media, consultation platforms, digital assessments, online counseling, and data-based evaluations in delivering counseling services. School counselors demonstrated positive attitudes toward e-counseling and showed adequate technological competence, while students expressed positive perceptions regarding comfort, accessibility, and the necessity of digital counseling services. The audit result reached a score of 23, placing the school in the digital-integrated category. These findings indicate that technology has become an essential component of counseling services and contributes to improving service quality, accessibility, and effectiveness for students.

This study aims to examine the implementation of policies regarding the use of the e-Kelurahan feature in the Sangu Palu application in Taipa Village. The study employs George C. Edward III’s policy implementation theory, which consists of four dimensions: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review involving nine informants. The findings indicate that the implementation of the e-Kelurahan policy has not yet run optimally. The main obstacle lies in the communication aspect, particularly the lack of direct public socialization regarding the use of the application, resulting in low public understanding and limited utilization of digital services. In addition, training for village officials has not been conducted continuously, as it was only provided during the initial implementation stage. Therefore, periodic retraining is needed to improve technical competence and evaluate service performance. Although the aspects of disposition and bureaucratic structure have generally functioned well, they have not been sufficient to optimize digital service utilization. These findings are consistent with the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) evaluation results, which place Palu City in the “sufficient” category, indicating the need for further improvement in digital service implementation.

This article examines the impact of dehumanization in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the formation of the personality of future priests in light of the teachings of Pastores Dabo Vobis, particular number 43-44, as well as from Philosophical and theological perspectives. The development of AI brings significant changes in the way human think, relate, and build their self-identity. On the one hand, AI offers great opportunities to support intellectual formation through access to information, pastoral simulations, and digital learning. However, on the other hand, the dominance of technology has the potential to cause dehumanization, namely a reduction in the quality of interpersonal relationships, the depth of reflection and sensitivity. This study employs a literature review method, examining relevant theological, philosophical, and scientific literature. The findings indicate that excessive reliance on AI can disrupt the development of the human dimension in seminarians, particularly regarding affective maturity, relational competence, and the integrity of personal identity. From a philosophical perspective, humans are understood as free, rational, and relational beings; thus, reducing humans to mere components of an algorithmic system contradicts their very nature. Meanwhile, theology affirms human dignity as the Imago Dei, which cannot be replaced by technology. Therefore, a critical and prudent formation approach is required, one that positions AI as an aid, not a substitute for human relationships.

Package C equivalency education is a strategic non-formal education policy designed to provide senior secondary education access for citizens who are not served by the formal schooling system. This study evaluates the implementation of the Package C Equivalency Education Policy at the Non-Formal Education Unit Sanggar Kegiatan Belajar in Batudaa District, Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia. The study addresses the gap between the policy objective of expanding equitable access to secondary education and the practical constraints found in local implementation. Using a qualitative evaluative case study design, the research applies the Context, Input, Process, and Product evaluation model. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis involving program managers, tutors, learners, parents, alumni, and non-formal education supervisors. The findings show that the policy is contextually relevant to learners who face economic barriers, employment demands, age constraints, and limited access to formal schooling. However, input capacity remains insufficient due to limited tutor availability, inadequate andragogical competence, insufficient learning media, and learning modules that are not yet fully contextualized. The process dimension reveals inconsistent learning schedules, lecture-dominated instruction, weak adult-learning practices, and suboptimal monitoring. Product evaluation indicates positive outcomes in graduation, academic confidence, and access to administrative requirements for work or further study, but practical skills and socio-economic impacts remain limited. The study concludes that Package C policy implementation requires stronger socialization, tutor capacity development, contextual learning resources, flexible learning management, and local policy support to generate sustainable public value.

This study examines human resource competence in improving financial management at the Public Service Agency of Gorontalo State University, a public higher education institution that operates under a flexible financial management model while remaining accountable for public funds. The main problem addressed is how financial management personnel translate regulatory knowledge, technical skills, and professional attitudes into efficient, effective, and accountable financial governance. This study aims to analyze the competence of financial management personnel and explain its contribution to strengthening institutional financial management. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through interviews, observation, and document analysis involving bureau leaders, financial work team officials, treasurers, and financial managers across relevant work units. The findings show that knowledge competence is reflected in personnel understanding of regulations, policies, financial systems, budgeting procedures, reporting requirements, and the linkage between budget and institutional performance. Skills competence is demonstrated through financial administration, transaction recording, document verification, use of financial information systems, reconciliation, reporting, and preparation of accountability documents. Attitudinal competence appears in professionalism, compliance, integrity, prudence, responsibility, and openness to evaluation and audit. Financial management has been directed toward performance-based planning, expenditure control, budget realization monitoring, reporting, supervision, and audit follow-up. However, challenges remain in regulatory adaptation, system integration, data quality, document timeliness, account-code accuracy, inter-unit coordination, and consistency of audit follow-up. The study concludes that strengthening human resource competence is essential for improving financial management that is efficient, effective, accountable, and performance-oriented in public university financial governance.

Teachers, as professionals, play a crucial role in managing learning in the classroom. One essential skill that teachers must have is managerial skills, which involve organizing learning activities, setting up the learning environment, and applying suitable methods for learning tasks. In the context of differentiated learning focused on student needs, teacher managerial competence is vital for designing and managing instruction tailored to each student's requirements. Differentiated learning is an approach that emphasizes meeting the needs, interests, and learning styles of individual students. This study was conducted using a literature review method, drawing data from various sources including books, articles, and relevant previous research. The review shows that for successful differentiated learning, teachers need to implement managerial strategies for identifying students’ learning needs, managing content, processes, learning products, and conducting regular formative assessments. Furthermore, teachers must create an environment that supports the learning process through strong collaboration among students, between teachers and students, and with parents. Therefore, improving teacher managerial skills is one way to achieve inclusive learning and accommodate student diversity.

This study examines the application of the professional code of ethics for Christian Religious Education (CRE) teachers in building student integrity in secondary schools during the digital era. The primary issues discussed include the extent to which the code of ethics is implemented, its impact on students’ moral-spiritual standards, and the challenges of aligning professional ethics with a ministry calling. Using a library research approach, this study analyzes biblical texts, ethics textbooks, and scientific journals published within the last ten years. The findings indicate that the professionalism of CRE teachers must be grounded in Kingdom of God values by integrating pedagogical competence with theological calling through In-Persona Christi theory and the concept of vocatio. Authentic teacher exemplarity is identified as the most effective instrument for adolescent character formation amid the post-truth era, where digital information often blurs moral judgment. This study recommends a kenosis pedagogy approach, requiring educators to be authentically present, humble, and free from intellectual arrogance in order to achieve meaningful transformation of student character, integrity, and moral-spiritual maturity within contemporary Christian educational practice and school life contexts.

However, this study also identified several obstacles, such as limited learning facilities, lack of student participation, and limited learning time. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the leadership competency of Catholic religious education teachers plays a crucial role in creating a conducive learning environment and supporting student development, both academically and spiritually.

This study aims to reconstruct a Greek Exegesis learning model based on formative hermeneutics by integrating syntactic analysis with the spiritual transformation of theology students. Traditional Greek instruction often emphasizes technical grammar and textual translation, thereby creating a gap between academic rigor, interpretive sensitivity, and spiritual formation. To address this issue, the present research develops and evaluates an instructional model that positions grammatical inquiry not merely as a linguistic exercise, but as a formative process for understanding Scripture responsibly. This research employs a quantitative descriptive-correlational design involving 30 theology students as participants. Data were collected through syntactic analysis tests and Likert-scale instruments measuring hermeneutical awareness and spiritual disposition. The results show that the implementation of the formative hermeneutical model achieved a high effectiveness level of 81.7%. Students’ syntactic competence reached 78%, which falls into the good category, while spiritual transformation attained 84.8%, categorized as very good. These findings indicate that the model significantly improves both analytical competence and spiritual development. This study proposes an integrative pedagogical framework in which syntactic analysis functions as a formative hermeneutical practice that shapes theological virtues, interpretive responsibility, faith maturity, and holistic ministerial readiness among theology students within diverse contemporary theological education contexts and ministries.

Multicultural education offers hope in addressing various social tensions that have emerged in recent times, as it is an educational approach that consistently upholds values, beliefs, heterogeneity, plurality, and diversity in all aspects of education. This study aims to describe the implementation of multicultural inclusive learning in developing students’ moral character and to identify the challenges of its implementation at MIN 2 Gunungkidul Yogyakarta. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, and students as sources of information. The data were analyzed through data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings show that multicultural inclusive learning was implemented through the habituation of the 5S values (smiling, greeting, addressing, politeness, and courtesy), inclusive classroom arrangement for students with special needs, and the strengthening of discipline, responsibility, independence, care, and religious activities within the madrasah environment. These practices contributed to a warmer learning atmosphere, acceptance of differences, and social interaction between regular students and students with special needs. The main challenges included the limited availability of special assistant teachers, teachers’ limited competence in handling students with special needs, and insufficient inclusive learning facilities

Discrimination in the workplace is a problem that can hinder the creation of a fair and inclusive work environment. Discrimination can take the form of differential treatment of employees based on gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or other factors unrelated to individual performance and competence. To address this issue, the law plays a crucial role in providing employee protection to ensure equality and non-discrimination in the workplace. Various legal instruments, both national and international, regulate employee protection from discrimination, including the Employment Law, the Human Rights Law, and conventions issued by the International Labour Organization (ILO). However, the effective implementation of these regulations remains a challenge, particularly in terms of implementation, enforcement, and employee awareness of their rights. This study aims to analyze the role of law in protecting employees from discrimination in the workplace by examining applicable regulations and the challenges in their implementation. The research method used is a normative juridical method, which focuses on the study of relevant laws and legal principles. The analysis is conducted on national legal provisions and international legal instruments as references for protecting workers from discrimination. Furthermore, this study identifies barriers to legal implementation and offers recommendations to improve the effectiveness of legal protection for employees. This analysis is expected to provide insight into the urgency of regulatory reform and strengthening so that the law can play an optimal role in creating a fairer and more discrimination-free work environment.

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the tourism industry through the implementation of Augmented Reality (AR), which provides more interactive, educational, and immersive tourism experiences. In Indonesia, the adoption of AR has become increasingly important to address the unequal distribution of tourist visits, which remain heavily concentrated in a few destinations, particularly Bali. This study aims to identify the clusters of AR utilization in Indonesian tourism development and analyze their potential contributions to destination promotion, cultural heritage preservation, and tourism competitiveness. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA guidelines. Data were collected from reputable national and international scientific publications discussing AR implementation in tourism, cultural heritage, and travel industries between 2014 and 2025. The findings reveal that AR utilization in Indonesia can be categorized into five major clusters: the Bali Tourism Corridor Cluster, the Jakarta Metropolitan Cluster, the West Java Cluster, the East Java Cluster, and the Eastern Indonesia Cluster. Various AR implementations in destinations such as the Bongal Historical Site, Tana Toraja, Langsa City, and Lawang Sewu demonstrate the technology’s ability to enhance visitor experiences, strengthen historical and cultural education, and support destination marketing strategies. Furthermore, technology readiness and human resource competence were identified as the most influential factors affecting successful AR adoption. The findings suggest that AR has significant strategic potential to expand destination exposure, reduce disparities in tourist distribution across regions, and support the sustainable digital transformation of Indonesia’s tourism sector.

This study aims to map the trajectory of syntactic acquisition in three-year-old children through syntactic patterns and communicative functions in naturalistic interaction. Using a mixed-methods approach, data from native Indonesian-speaking children were collected over a period of 1.5 months through the involve-conversation technique. Analysis of 80 utterances using frequency distribution, Mean Length of Utterance (MLU), and functional grammar revealed a dominant Subject–Verb–Object (S–V–O) structure (30%) and an MLU of 5.82 morphemes. These findings indicate a developmental transition from telegraphic speech to early multi-clause constructions, reflecting increasing linguistic complexity. Cognitive compensation is marked by the use of pragmatic particles and non-canonical sentence patterns driven by ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions. The results support the usage-based hypothesis, suggesting that early syntactic development is functional, sequential, and non-linear in nature. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of interactional experience in shaping emerging grammatical competence. This classification serves as a micro-longitudinal assessment tool and provides a pedagogical basis for scaffolding interventions aimed at stabilizing complex linguistic patterns and enhancing language development in early childhood education settings.
