Entrepreneurship has become a crucial pillar in economic development, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by globalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0). This study aims to quantitatively describe the impact of entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial interest. Sampling was conducted using a purposive sampling method, selected based on the researchers’ considerations. The reason for this sampling technique was that the selected classes had completed the entrepreneurship course. Total sampling was used, resulting in a sample of 121 students from four selected classes. The research instrument was an online questionnaire distributed to the students, and the collected data were analyzed using regression analysis to evaluate students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship education. The results of the study indicate that entrepreneurship education has a “positive” impact on students' entrepreneurial interest, as represented by indicators such as self-confidence, creative and innovative thinking, future orientation, as well as the enhancement of honesty and independence values among students.

In a context where students face increasingly complex academic choices, this work proposes a recommendation system based on Bayesian networks to guide new baccalaureate holders in their university choices. Using a dataset containing variables such as secondary school section, gender, type of school, percentage obtained, age, and first-year honors, we have constructed a probabilistic model capturing the dependencies between these characteristics and the option chosen. The data is collected at the Catholic University of Bukavu, the Official University of Bukavu, and the Higher Institute of Education of Bukavu, preprocessed and then used to learn the structure via the hill-climbing algorithm with the BIC score using R's bnlearn tool. The model enables us to estimate the probability that a candidate will choose a given stream, depending on their profile. The approach has been validated using metrics such as BIC, cross-validation, and bootstrap and offers a good compromise between interpretability and predictive performance. The results highlight the potential of Bayesian networks in constructing explainable recommendation systems in the field of academic guidance. The system produces orientation probability maps for each candidate, which can be used by enrollment service advisers, as well as an ordered list of options relevant to the candidate's profile. With a remarkable performance on a test sample of precision@k=0.85, recall@k=0.61, ndcg=0.8, and Map=0.88, it constitutes an effective lever for reducing the risk of being misdirected in universities in South-Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo

This study aims to analyze and identify the position, types, and ideal concept of curriculum within the educational system, particularly in the context of Indonesia's national education. The curriculum is regarded as the core of the educational system as it serves as the foundation for lesson planning, educational goal setting, material selection, and ensuring equitable access to quality education. The role of the curriculum in education carries strategic functions, including serving as a guide for teachers, a reference for evaluating the learning process, and a framework for developing students' holistic and sustainable competencies. The types of curriculumare classified based on orientation (traditional to modern), value systems (from humanistic to reconstructionist), and modes of implementation (theoretical or practical). This study employs a qualitative approach through literature review, drawing on educational books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and government policy documents. In the Indonesian context, the evolution of the curriculum from 1947 to 2023 reflects socio-political dynamics and shifts in global educational paradigms. The latest curriculum reform, known as Kurikulum Merdeka, represents an effort toward modernization and responsiveness to contemporary needs, emphasizing differentiated learning, character building, and flexibility in developing students' potential. The ideal curriculum concept proposed in this study is one that integrates academic, humanistic, technological, and social reconstruction approaches to create relevant, participatory, and meaningful learning experiences for students in addressing the challenges of the 21st century.

The precise and effective formulation of educational objectives is crucial in realizing the vision and mission of educational institutions, especially at the Madrasah Aliyah level, which plays an important role in shaping students' character and competencies based on Islamic values.

This study aims to identify and analyze effective strategies implemented by Madrasah Aliyah in formulating educational objectives that align with the institution’s vision and mission. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study approach, involving principals, teachers, and curriculum development teams as research subjects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of educational planning documents. The results show that effective strategies include a participatory approach involving all stakeholders, the use of continuous evaluation as a basis for formulating objectives, and the integration of Islamic values that strengthen character education orientation. The alignment between educational objectives and the institution’s vision and mission has also been proven to enhance the effectiveness of learning program implementation and the achievement of both academic and non-academic student accomplishments. In conclusion, strategic and value-oriented formulation of educational objectives is a key factor in achieving the vision and mission of Madrasah Aliyah, thus requiring the strengthening of managerial capacity and a sustainable evaluation system.

Writing in an activity to express thoughts and feelings in writing and indirecly. Writing is generally divided into two typpes, namely scientific writing and creative writing. Imaginary stories are texts produced from creative thoughts to create a story. So an effective learning model is also needed to write stories. PBL is a learning model that encourages students to solve a problem contextually. This research step uses the theory Miles and Huberman using triangulation data validation. Most students are able to write the orientation, complication, and resolution sections well. This can be seen from the majority of students who succeeded in compiling a complete orientation, displaying the conflict clearly in the complication, and the resolution of students in writing the conflict in its entirety in the resolution section. This shows that problem based learning (PBL) is effective in helping students understand the structure of imaginary stories and developing creativity and critical thinking skills in writing.

Learning strategies play a vital role in determining the success of the educational process, particularly in achieving learning objectives effectively and efficiently. This article aims to comprehensively examine fundamental concepts of learning strategies by addressing five main research questions: (1) what is the definition of learning strategies? (2) how are models, approaches, strategies, methods, and techniques of learning interrelated? (3) what are the classifications of learning strategies? (4) what are the essential components of a learning strategy? and (5) what considerations are important in selecting an appropriate learning strategy? Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, this article draws upon various educational literature, both classical and contemporary, to formulate a comprehensive understanding of learning strategies. The discussion on the definition highlights that a strategy is not merely a technical step but also a pedagogical framework that reflects a systematic way of thinking. Furthermore, this article emphasizes the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of learning models (conceptual frameworks), approaches (philosophical orientations), strategies (overall plans), methods (procedural steps), and techniques (practical actions) in order for educators to design cohesive and holistic learning processes. The classification of learning strategies is discussed based on the learning approach used, such as expository, inquiry-based, cooperative, contextual, and problem-based strategies—each with its own advantages and challenges. The article also identifies key components of learning strategies, including learning objectives, student characteristics, materials, media, methods, and evaluation. In choosing the appropriate strategy, the author highlights the need to consider factors such as learning goals, learner characteristics, available resources, and the socio-cultural context of the learning environment, particularly within the framework of Islamic education. The findings of this study are expected to contribute both theoretically and practically to the development of more contextual, adaptive, and relevant learning designs, especially for educators and prospective teachers within Islamic State Universities.    

This study aims to systematically examine the influence of transformational leadership and organizational culture on nurses' performance in hospitals. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with a qualitative approach. The findings indicate that transformational leadership has a significant impact on improving nurses’ performance, particularly through enhanced work motivation, job satisfaction, loyalty, and team effectiveness. Transformational leaders inspire nurses by providing a vision, encouraging innovation, and fostering a supportive environment that aligns with their values and goals. As a result, nurses exhibit increased commitment to their work, higher engagement levels, and a proactive attitude toward their tasks, leading to better overall performance. Organizational culture also plays a crucial role, especially values such as collaboration, human orientation, and integrity, which have been shown to support a positive work environment and nurse productivity. A culture that prioritizes teamwork, shared responsibility, and mutual respect enables nurses to work more cohesively and efficiently. Hospitals with a supportive and inclusive culture experience reduced turnover rates and higher job satisfaction, as nurses feel valued and respected within the organization. Additionally, when the culture encourages continuous learning and professional development, nurses are more likely to stay updated on best practices and provide high-quality care to patients. However, differences in findings across studies suggest the need for contextual understanding and consistent internalization of cultural values. Factors such as geographical location, hospital size, and leadership styles may influence the degree of impact that transformational leadership and organizational culture have on nurse performance. Therefore, it is essential to adapt leadership strategies and cultural initiatives to the unique needs and challenges of each healthcare setting.

The orientation of educational institutions is busy with exam scores, and academic grades are the main prerequisites for graduation. As a result, the product produced by students is how high the report card score is and discredits the values of character, life and morality. This causes students to lose focus on character education. For this reason, teachers as the main milestone in learning in the classroom are required to create a learning atmosphere with character based on DOOR (Diversity, Optimism, Option for The Poor, Respect). This is because the character based on DOOR is a guideline in the ministry at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The objectives of the study are: (1) To describe the management model of character education training based on DOOR; (2) Determine the feasibility of the character education training management model based on DOOR; and (3) Determine the effectiveness of the implementation of character education training management based on DOOR at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The research uses a research and development approach to develop a model to improve teacher performance at the Betlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The research sample is 59 teachers at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. The results of the study show: (1) The training model developed is feasible to be used in an effort to improve the performance of teachers of the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation, through the following stages: planning, organizing, moving, and supervising; (2) The training model is effectively used to improve the performance of teachers of the Betlehem Bandar Baru Foundation. There was an increase in teacher performance in the following aspects: learning planning by 42.05%; the implementation of learning is 29.74%; and assessed learning outcomes by 59.49%; and (3) a character training model developed practically for improving teacher performance at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation, obtained N-Gain Score g = 0.76 > 0.7 (small group trial) and g = 0.79 > 0.7 (limited wide trial); The resulting products were 76.40% (small group trials) and 79.08% (limited wide trials) with the effective category. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that the improvement of teacher performance at the Bethlehem Bandar Baru Foundation must be carried out with integrated planning, organization, implementation and supervision between the Archdiocesan Foundation, the Foundation's internal supervisors, principals, and teachers.

A serious problem faced by the Indonesian people is the orientation of the current education system which focuses too much on developing the left brain (cognitive) and pays too little attention to developing the right brain (affective, empathy and feeling). The learning process is passive and rigid, which makes it unpleasant for children. Subjects related to character education (such as character and religion) emphasize the left brain aspect (memorization, or just knowledge) in practice. This can damage children's character and hinder their creativity. In fact, character formation must be carried out systematically and continuously involving aspects of knowledge, feeling, loving and acting. Character formation can be likened to the formation of a person into a body builder (bodybuilder) who requires continuous moral muscle training to become sturdy and strong. Apart from that, the success of character education must also be supported by a good and enjoyable educational environment for children. Character education is needed not only at school, but also at home and in social environments.
