Microteaching is an innovative educator training method aimed at developing basic teaching skills and fostering student self-efficacy through a micro-scale approach. This study describes how teaching simulations with limited duration, audience size, and material focus can facilitate the transformation of pre-service teachers' pedagogical competence. Using a qualitative approach, the research found that microteaching functions as a "safe laboratory" for students to explore teaching creativity without the risk of systemic failure. The skill development process includes mastering stimulus variation techniques through the use of visual and audiovisual media, such as PowerPoint and instructional videos, as well as strengthening instructional communication styles. Furthermore, students' self-efficacy increases significantly through a cycle of constructive feedback from peers and supervisors, enabling reflection-on-action. The results conclude that the re-plan and re-teach mechanisms are crucial in shaping professional and permanent teaching behaviors before students enter actual classroom environments. These findings highlight the importance of microteaching in developing both the technical and reflective skills necessary for effective teaching practice.

This study analyzes efforts to develop and foster the Indonesian language through the use of standard and nonstandard words at MTS Bahlul Ulum. The increasing use of nonstandard words among students, influenced by social media and cross-regional interactions, has led to a decline in the awareness of using standard language in academic contexts. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with teachers and students of Class VII H at MTS Bahlul Ulum during the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of Student Worksheet (LKPD) results containing 50 questions on standard and nonstandard words. The findings showed that before the language development program, students had an average score of 62.4 in understanding standard and nonstandard words, with errors in commonly used informal words like vidio (standard: video) and antri (standard: antre). After the program, which included class discussions, conversation simulations, and interactive worksheets, the average score increased to 78.6, with 82% of students scoring above 78. The error rate decreased from 45% to 18%, indicating that interactive and contextual language development is effective. Continuous training and curriculum integration are essential to strengthening the use of standard language in the digital era.

This study examines the teacher's strategy in guiding the memorization of prayer prayers in early childhood at RA Muslimat NU Banin Banat Manyar through a qualitative case study approach. The main focus is the application of the practice (repetition) and habituation method, which was observed for 6-8 weeks in 35 children in group AB (aged 4-6 years), including participant observation, in-depth interviews with 4 teachers and 5 parents, and analysis of RPP documentation and murojaah videos. The results show that the practice method is applied rhythmically daily (3x / day, 10-15 minutes), starting from simple pronunciations such as iftitah and ruku' with 20-30 repetitions per chain cycle, resulting in an average increase in memorization from 42% to 91%, with variations in singing and movements reducing boredom by 27%. Meanwhile, integrated habituation through congregational prayer routines (Dhuha, Zuhur simulation, Ashar), independent ablution, and home supervision, achieved 89% of children's independence in becoming mini imams after 21 days consistently, supported by verbal rewards and gender row rotation. The discussion confirmed alignment with Piaget's theory (preoperational stage) and Vygotsky's (ZPD scaffolding), where drills build sensory memory schemes while habituation forms permanent religious character ala Abdullah Nasih Ulwan. Supporting factors include parental collaboration and a conducive NU environment, overcoming the obstacle of low concentration. Practical implications recommend replicating this strategy in similar RAs to optimize the golden age of Islamic early childhood, with memorization retention of 8-10 basic prayer prayers.
