This study investigates the influence of the vocabulary terms “selumbari” and “tulat” on efforts to develop and cultivate the Indonesian language, particularly through expanding public lexical awareness via social media. These two terms, originating from local linguistic traditions, possess significant potential to be integrated into modern Indonesian as part of cultural preservation and the strengthening of national linguistic identity. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method, collecting data through the dissemination of educational videos and Google Form questionnaires on social media platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok. Respondents consisted of students, university students, the general public, and various other social groups. Analysis of responses from 20 participants revealed that most respondents had never heard or read the words “selumbari” and “tulat.” However, the majority stated that both words were easy to understand and contributed positively to vocabulary development in Indonesian. The findings indicate that social media plays a strategic role in introducing and popularizing new vocabulary to a wide audience. This study also highlights the importance of vocabulary enrichment as part of ongoing Indonesian language development, ensuring that the language remains adaptive to contemporary changes while representing local cultural richness. The implications of this research may serve as a reference for educators, linguistic institutions, and policymakers in formulating strategies to enhance vocabulary literacy, especially among younger generations.

This research is motivated by the widespread use of non-standard Indonesian on social media, which has resulted in low public awareness of the importance of implementing Indonesian according to the rules.The purpose of this study is to analyze Instagram users’ awareness of using standard Indonesian words and to assess the effectiveness of language coaching through social media. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, where data were collected through polls using the Instagram Story feature, observation of uploaded content, and analysis of audience interactions between account managers and followers. The findings show that most social media users still tend to use nonstandard word forms in daily communication. However, after receiving coaching through educational content, there was a significant improvement in understanding and applying standard word forms. This study concludes that Instagram can serve as an effective and engaging medium for language development, as it can reach diverse audiences and encourage users to be more aware, responsible, and wise in using proper Indonesian according to the norms of the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI) and the Pedoman Umum Ejaan Bahasa Indonesia (PUEBI).

This study was motivated by the low level of Islamic literacy among the people of Timbang Langkat Village, which has affected the development of character based on Islamic values. The purpose of this research is to enhance Islamic literacy as an effort to strengthen community character through a two-week community service activity using a participatory and collaborative approach. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with an action research model. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires involving 30 participants, including community leaders, mosque youth, and local residents. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the community’s understanding of Islamic literacy, increasing from 40% of participants in the “good” category before the activity to 83% afterward. In addition to improved understanding, there was also a noticeable shift in social behavior reflecting Islamic values such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, and social awareness. The implication of this study suggests that Islamic literacy plays an essential role in shaping the community’s religious character and can serve as an effective strategy for moral and spiritual development. This Islamic literacy-based community service program is expected to be developed sustainably in other regions, adapted to local social and cultural contexts.

This study aims to describe strategies for Indonesian language development through the use of Instagram, particularly the Story feature, as a medium for introducing Indonesian lexical equivalents. The study is grounded in the increasing use of foreign terms and code-mixing on social media, highlighting the need for language cultivation efforts that align with digital communication habits. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected from polls, question box responses, and user interaction metrics from the Instagram account @katasetara_. The findings indicate that respondents’ understanding of Indonesian lexical equivalents remains relatively low, as shown by the high percentage of incorrect answers for terms such as caption (57%), typo (56%), and headset (52%). By providing explanations in feed posts, the @katasetara_ account serves as an informative and engaging medium for language cultivation. This study concludes that Instagram holds strong potential as an effective platform for linguistic education when combined with interactive strategies and adherence to standard Indonesian language norms.

This study aims to describe the implementation of Indonesian language development through the learning of standard words and the Enhanced Spelling System (EYD) at MTs Sambongjaya. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques consisting of observation and documentation. The development activities were carried out by applying the Team Games Tournament (TGT) learning model. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the TGT model was able to improve students’ motivation and understanding of standard word usage and EYD. Students appeared enthusiastic during the learning process, although some still experienced difficulties in reading and applying correct spelling. The TGT model created a competitive yet collaborative environment that enhanced students’ engagement in learning. Despite the challenges, the model proved effective in fostering students’ awareness of the importance of using proper and correct language. It also encouraged them to be more careful in applying EYD rules, which contributed to their language proficiency. The study concludes that Indonesian language development activities through learning standard words and EYD, supported by the TGT model, can significantly enhance students’ language skills and understanding, thus improving their overall language use in educational settings. This approach can serve as a model for similar educational institutions aiming to enhance language proficiency.

This study aims to analyze the use of Instagram as a medium for language development in the correct use of the preposition "di" according to the guidelines of Ejaan yang Disempurnakan (EYD) edition V. Although the Indonesian language has clear writing rules, inaccuracies in the use of the preposition "di" are still frequently found in both print and digital media. One of the contributing factors is the low level of public understanding of these rules. Therefore, language development through Instagram is considered an effective way to raise awareness and improve understanding among the public. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through Instagram’s polling feature, which allows the researcher to measure audience understanding of the correct usage of "di". The results show an increase in audience comprehension after receiving explanations regarding the correct usage, although many respondents still showed inaccuracies in the use of "di". Therefore, a broader and more sustained language development effort via social media is needed to enhance public awareness of correct prepositional writing. This research is expected to serve as a foundation for the development of more interactive and practical language development strategies, especially in the context of social media. Keywords:

Legal responsibility in this case rests with both the notary and the foundation's trustees, who can be held civilly liable for damages and immaterial losses.

Education serves as an institutional mechanism that can accelerate the development of a nation's character. Factors influencing the decline of the Indonesian nation are the result of mental and moral decline, which occurs in both the older and younger generations, including within the government and among the wider community. These factors have resulted in the Indonesian nation experiencing setbacks in various positions in the world. To overcome this problem, the Indonesian nation needs to develop and build a life by instilling positive values ​​​​to develop good character and be able to compete with other countries in the era of globalization. Character education offers a great opportunity to implement the process of fostering and developing human beings, with education based on noble morals, namely Islamic education that integrates faith, sharia, and morals in a learning system that is based on Islamic morals and influences self-improvement. One of the advantages of Al-Islam for humanity is the creation of a comprehensive and consistent method for developing mentality, producing generations, building society and culture, and upholding the principles of glory and civilization. Child educators must continue to seek more effective methods, seeking informative educational rules in preparing children mentally and morally, scientifically, spiritually, and socially, so that children can reach perfect maturity.

The young generation has a strategic role in social development, especially in strengthening leadership values and national character. However, in this modern era many young people have experienced a decline in the spirit of mutual cooperation, social care, and responsibility for the community environment.

The results of the activities showed a significant increase in the participants' understanding of leadership concepts, communication skills, teamwork, and sense of social responsibility. Participants also began to show initiative in designing and implementing social programmes in the village. In addition, this activity strengthens the role of Karang Taruna as a forum for character and leadership development at the village level. In conclusion, leadership character development through educative and participatory approaches has proven to be effective in developing youth leadership with integrity, visionary, and orientated towards social values. This activity is expected to be a model of youth capacity building that can be replicated in other villages.

Pantomime arts development in elementary schools plays a crucial role in fostering students' creativity, self-confidence, and expressive abilities. This study examines the transformation of pantomime development at SDN 1 Beureunuen, a school that hosts the National Student Arts Festival and Competition (FLS3N) in Mutiara Timur District, Pidie Regency. Using an active qualitative approach through participant observation, informal interviews, and documentation of participant development from 2019 to 2025, this study examines how creative pedagogy practices, constructivist approaches, and strengthening cultural identity are applied in the development process. The results show a significant increase in school participation in pantomime competitions, from only three groups in 2019 to twelve groups in 2025. SDN 1 Beureunuen's success in winning the gold medal at the national level in the FLS3N has been a driving factor in the paradigm shift of teachers, which in turn has encouraged the creation of a competitive arts ecosystem at the sub-district level. These findings confirm that the implementation of creative pedagogy and tiered development can improve the quality of arts learning and strengthen the capacity of teachers and students in areas with minimal resources.

This study aims to describe the characteristics of SMK Al-Azami students in emulating the morals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as part of character development based on Islamic values within vocational education. The background of this research lies in the urgency of character education that not only emphasizes academic competence and technical skills but also focuses on moral formation and professional ethics. This research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method by analyzing relevant classical and modern Islamic literature, supported by documentation of school activities. The results reveal that the moral values of the Prophet Muhammad have been well internalized in students’ daily behavior, which includes four core dimensions: Shidq (honesty), Amanah (trustworthiness), Istiqamah (discipline), and Rahmah (compassion). The value of Shidq is reflected in students’ honesty during vocational practice and in reporting work results; Amanah is demonstrated through responsibility for tools and group tasks; Istiqamah appears in punctuality, consistency, and work discipline; and Rahmah is shown through respectful, empathetic, and cooperative social interactions. The findings indicate that Islamic character education effectively shapes students with integrity, discipline, and social awareness, serving as a model for moral development in vocational schools. Furthermore, this research highlights the importance of strengthening teacher exemplarity, religious habituation, and curriculum integration of Islamic moral values in vocational learning to ensure sustainable character development.

This study was motivated by the reality that people do not fully understand the proper use of Indonesian, especially in terms of standard vocabulary, terminology, and synonyms. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to promote Indonesian language skills through educational content in the form of digital posters on Instagram in order to reach a wider audience. In addition, the author also used the Kahoot! application as an evaluation tool to measure social media users' understanding of standard vocabulary. The method used in this study was a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The subjects of this study were the general public who are active users of social media, especially on the Instagram platform, and there were 34 respondents. The object of this study was the respondents' answers to the quiz on the Kahoot! application. The results of this study concluded that there is still a low level of enthusiasm among the public, especially students, in using Indonesian. However, this can be minimized through the use of social media, such as the creation of interesting educational content in the form of digital posters, which have proven to be effective as an effort to foster Indonesian language in the era of digitalization.

Education is a fundamental human right that must be guaranteed for every child without discrimination. In Indonesia, particularly in the Ambon region, educational inequality remains a serious challenge influenced by geographical, socio-economic, and structural factors. Children from impoverished families and remote areas often lack access to adequate education due to limited facilities, low-quality teaching staff, and inadequate technological infrastructure. This situation not only hinders children’s potential development but also perpetuates cycles of poverty and social injustice. Data from the Ministry of Education and Culture (2021) indicates low basic education participation rates and high dropout rates in Maluku and Ambon. In response, the church in Ambon, as highlighted by Joseph Lourine Since (2023), plays a strategic role through the Marginalized Children’s Development School (Sekolah Pembinaan Anak Marginal - SPAM), an alternative education program integrating academic learning with Christian character and spiritual formation. This initiative embodies the preferential option for the poor principle in liberation theology, as developed by Gustavo Gutiérrez, positioning the church as an advocate for the marginalized in its social and moral mission. This abstract recommends strengthening the church’s role in education through multisectoral collaboration to create a more just and inclusive education system for marginalized children.
