This research was motivated by the findings of dishonest behavior among SMPN 2 Kalidawir students, such as cheating during exams and dishonesty in daily social interactions. This condition shows that the value of honesty has not developed optimally. Therefore, this study aims to analyze social studies teachers' strategies in instilling honesty in grade VIII students and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in the process. The focus of the research includes two things: (1) teachers' strategies in instilling honesty through social studies learning, especially materials related to social interaction and students' daily lives; and (2) factors that affect the success of teachers in shaping the character of students' honesty. The approach used is descriptive qualitative research with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. This method allows researchers to gain an in-depth understanding based on the interpretation of phenomena found in the field. The results of the study show that the strategy of instilling honesty values is carried out in an integrated manner through the example of teachers, habituating honest behavior, and providing positive motivation during the learning process. Teachers also integrate the value of honesty into relevant social studies materials and provide real examples in daily life. Supporting factors for the success of this strategy include consistent teacher examples, a conducive school environment, and targeted and collaborative student program support. However, there are inhibiting factors such as the influence of the environment outside the school, academic pressure, and diverse socioeconomic conditions of students. This research makes an important contribution to strengthening character education through social studies learning at the junior high school level.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in alleviating poverty, with a case study focus on Sei Jang Village, Tanjungpinang City. PKH is a social assistance program initiated by the government to improve the welfare of the poor through conditional cash assistance. The reason the researcher chose this title was to determine the extent to which PKH is effective in reducing poverty, especially since data shows a decline in the number of PKH recipients in Sei Jang Village in 2023. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, where data is obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. To measure the level of effectiveness, the theory from (Makmur, 2015) was used, which states that the elements of effectiveness include accuracy in timing, accuracy in calculation, accuracy in measurement, accuracy in decision making, accuracy in thinking, accuracy in carrying out orders, accuracy in determining goals, and accuracy in targeting. The results of the study show that PKH has had a positive impact on reducing the economic burden on poor families, particularly in meeting the educational and health needs of children. However, the effectiveness of this program is still hampered by several factors, such as delays in fund disbursement, participants' lack of understanding of the program's terms and conditions, and minimal assistance from relevant officials. In addition, another challenge in the form of inaccuracy in targeting beneficiaries also affects the overall achievement of the program. These findings indicate that better management and supervision are urgently needed. This study concludes that although PKH contributes significantly to poverty alleviation, improvements in management and supervision are needed to maximize the program's objectives. The proposed recommendations include increasing the capacity of social workers, improving the beneficiary selection mechanism, and strengthening coordination among stakeholders at the local level.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypercholesterolemia, hyperuricemia, and hyperglycemia are common health problems among adults and can develop into cardiovascular diseases and diabetes if not detected early. This community service activity was carried out to provide education on risk factors, prevention, and control of cholesterol, uric acid, and blood glucose levels among parents of students at RA Avicenna in Sorong City, as well as to conduct examinations of these three parameters as an early detection effort. The methods used included interactive counseling using presentation media, question-and-answer discussions, and health checks using point-of-care testing (POCT) devices. A total of 23 respondents participated, ranging in age from 22 to 55 years. The results showed that 22 individuals had normal blood glucose levels and 1 individual had high glucose levels. Nine people had normal cholesterol levels, eight were in the borderline category, and six had high cholesterol levels. Five participants had normal uric acid levels, while 18 had elevated uric acid levels, for which additional education and recommendations for further medical examination were provided. In conclusion, educational activities combined with health screening proved effective in increasing community awareness and motivation to prevent NCDs early.

Education has long been recognized as a primary determinant of economic progress and human development , yet in the context of a global economy characterized by rapid technological change and the sustainability imperative, the focus shifts from the mere quantity of investment to its effectiveness in fostering sustainable economic growth. Current education systems face significant challenges, including a persistent global "learning crisis" , governance inefficiencies , and a misalignment between curricula and the demands of the labor market, particularly the green and digital economies. Given that existing literature often treats education investment as a static input and fails to holistically integrate sustainability and governance into the optimization process , this conceptual article aims to bridge these theoretical and empirical gaps by proposing an integrated model for the optimization of education investment for sustainable economic growth. The method involves a conceptual analysis that synthesizes human capital theory , endogenous growth theory , and the economics of sustainability , emphasizing the roles of governance, innovation, and inclusivity as mediating factors. The key finding of the study indicates that optimization necessitates a paradigm shift from input-oriented budgeting toward an outcome-based investment framework that holistically balances three crucial dimensions: efficiency (maximizing learning outcomes) , equity (ensuring inclusive access) , and relevance (alignment with sustainability needs). The resulting policy implications are delineated across the Macro (fiscal integration and sustainability strategies through performance-based funding) , Meso (institutions transform into adaptive innovation centers) , and Micro (enhancement of reskilling, upskilling, and human capital capacity) levels; by achieving this alignment, education successfully transitions from a cost center to a strategic catalyst driving sustained prosperity.    

The objectives of this community service activity are: First, to increase members' understanding of the concepts of leadership and effective organizational governance. Second, to strengthen the capacity of youth in entrepreneurship. Third, to equip them with the skills to develop innovative and adaptive work programs tailored to local needs. The methods used in this activity include workshops focused on delivering theoretical material, practical technical guidance or training applied to train participants in effective leadership and good organizational management, and mentoring methods implemented using a participatory approach. The evaluation of the activity showed significant improvements in knowledge, skills, and attitudes across three aspects that have historically hindered partners: education, social issues, and economics. In conclusion, there was a significant improvement overall after the community service activity, at 56%. The highest level of understanding among participants is the importance of leadership as a driving force for the organization, but to develop an entrepreneurial attitude as a foundation for independence and competitiveness, continuous reinforcement is needed so that Karang members can be prepared as an independent generation.

The use of virtual classrooms in the learning process is a strategic step to create a flexible learning experience, accessible anytime and anywhere. Schoology's "Plasma" as a virtual classroom platform offers various digital learning features that enable students to develop Self-Regulated Learning (SRL). Through access to materials, discussions, and other digital learning resources, students are encouraged to be more active, independent, and able to plan, monitor, and evaluate their own learning process. SRL is an important internal factor that plays a role in learning success, because it encourages students to realize their learning needs without relying on direct direction from the teacher. This study is a classroom action research conducted by mathematics teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Gedongtataan, Pesawaran, Lampung, with 30 students of grade XII IPA 1 in the 2022/2023 academic year. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the use of Schoology's virtual classroom significantly improved students' SRL. The comparison of the average SRL scores in Cycle I and Cycle II, 2.7 and 3.2, respectively, indicates a consistent increase. This finding confirms that the integration of Schoology's virtual classroom is effective in enhancing students' learning independence at the secondary education level.

Deep learning has become a key discourse in educational reform across various levels, from elementary schools to higher education institutions. This article aims to examine deep learning from the perspective of philosophy of education, focusing on three central dimensions: existence, ethics, and epistemology. This research employs a qualitative approach using philosophical and phenomenological analysis of data from the socialization programs of deep learning currently being implemented in several educational institutions in Indonesia. The findings reveal that deep learning represents an educational approach that is mindful (conscious and reflective), meaningful (contextual and purposeful), and joyful (relational and emotionally engaging). These three characteristics are rooted in a strong philosophical foundation, which can serve as a basis for developing more humanistic and transformative curricula and educational practices. Additionally, deep learning encourages learners to develop critical consciousness and cultivate their autonomy in the learning process. 

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood pumped by the heart against the walls of the arteries. Abnormalities in blood pressure can take the form of high blood pressure or hypertension and low blood pressure or hypotension. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and sufferers often do not show any symptoms. This community service activity aimed to examine the results of blood pressure measurements among inmates at the Class IIB Detention Center in Masohi City. This study used a descriptive observational design with a cross-sectional approach. There were 95 inmates who participated in this activity. Data analysis was conducted using quantitative descriptive methods to describe the blood pressure measurement results based on demographic data such as age, gender, education level, occupation, height, and weight. The results showed that most respondents were in the 20-30 age range (44.2%) and male (91.6%). The level of education shows that most respondents only completed high school (54.7%) and the majority worked as farmers (30.5%). Anthropometric characteristics in terms of height show that most respondents were between 140-160 cm (47.4%) and weighed between 51-60 kg (43.2%). The distribution of blood pressure shows that most respondents are in the pre-hypertension (40%), normal (29.5%), grade 1 hypertension (17.9%), and grade 2 hypertension (10.5%). Therefore, routine blood pressure checks need to be carried out so that inmates in detention centers can avoid hypertension, which can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

This study aims to describe the application of SOLO Taxonomy-based early childhood development assessment instruments at Al-Huda Kindergarten in Gorontalo City. The research approach uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The focus of the research includes teachers' understanding of the assessment instruments, the filling process, and the suitability of the instrument application with the principles of SOLO Taxonomy. The results show that the school has implemented four assessment instruments, namely anecdotal notes, checklists, work results, and serial photos as part of formative assessment. In general, the assessment implementation was in line with the children's development, but there was a discrepancy in the use of anecdotal notes, which should have been written one sheet per child but were used for several children at once, thereby reducing the accuracy of the children's development data. The SOLO Taxonomy helped teachers classify the level of complexity of children's understanding from pre-structural to extended abstract, making the assessment more meaningful. This study emphasizes the importance of applying appropriate and individualized assessment instruments so that information on child development is more accurate and can be used to design appropriate follow-up learning activities.

This study aims to analyze the effect of welfare inequality on poverty levels on the island of Sumatra. Welfare inequality is measured using the Gini Index, while poverty levels are measured by the percentage of the poor population at the provincial level. This study uses a quantitative method with a panel data approach covering ten provinces on the island of Sumatra during the period 2020–2024. The analytical techniques used include panel data regression with fixed and random effects models, as well as classical assumption testing to ensure model validity. The results show that welfare inequality has a positive and significant effect on poverty levels, meaning that increasing inequality in income distribution tends to increase the number of poor people. This finding indicates that uneven economic growth can worsen the welfare of the community, especially low-income groups. Therefore, more inclusive and sustainable development policies are needed, particularly in increasing equitable access to education, health services, and productive employment opportunities to reduce inequality and poverty levels on the island of Sumatra.

Digitalization has become a key factor driving global economic transformation, including the development of the Islamic economy in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the opportunities, challenges, and strategies for advancing the Islamic economy in the digital era through a literature-based research method. Information was gathered by reviewing documents, articles, and relevant literature related to the digitalization of the Islamic economy, including analyses of Sharia-compliant fintech, halal e-commerce, and digital Islamic banking.The findings indicate that digitalization offers numerous opportunities to enhance service efficiency, expand access to Islamic financial services, strengthen the capacity of MSMEs, and accelerate the growth of the halal industry. However, the digital transformation process also presents several challenges, such as low levels of digital and Islamic financial literacy, potential data breaches, the spread of misinformation, regulatory inefficiencies, and legal uncertainties associated with emerging technologies such as Sharia-compliant blockchain. In addition, digital inequality and ethical issues must be addressed to ensure alignment with the principles of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah.This study highlights the importance of implementing a comprehensive Sharia-based development strategy through regulatory strengthening, education on digital ethics, enhanced supervisory functions, and collaboration between the government, academia, industry players, and society. With the right approach, digitalization can become a significant tool in building an Islamic economic ecosystem that is just, inclusive, and sustainable.

Cervical cancer remains a major public health problem and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women in Indonesia. Early detection through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) is an effective and feasible screening method at the primary health care level. However, the coverage of VIA screening among women of reproductive age (WRA) remains low. Knowledge is considered an important predisposing factor that may influence women’s motivation to undergo VIA screening. This study aimed to analyze the association between cervical cancer knowledge and motivation to undergo VIA screening among women of reproductive age. This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 105 women of reproductive age were recruited using consecutive sampling at the Payangan Community Health Center, Gianyar Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected using validated and reliable structured questionnaires measuring cervical cancer knowledge and motivation to undergo VIA screening. Univariate analysis was performed to describe respondent characteristics, while bivariate analysis using the chi-square test was applied to examine the association between knowledge and motivation at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that 61.9% of respondents had good knowledge of cervical cancer, while 52.4% demonstrated low motivation to undergo VIA screening. A statistically significant association was found between cervical cancer knowledge and motivation to undergo VIA screening (p = 0.043). Women with higher levels of knowledge tended to have greater motivation to participate in VIA screening. In conclusion, cervical cancer knowledge is significantly associated with motivation to undergo VIA screening among women of reproductive age. These findings suggest that strengthening health education interventions at primary health care facilities is essential to enhance motivation and increase participation in early cervical cancer detection programs.

Adolescents are a vulnerable age group to nutritional problems due to increased nutritional requirements during periods of rapid growth. Suboptimal nutritional status, including undernutrition and anaemia, can negatively affect health and academic performance. This study aimed to describe the nutritional status of adolescents at SMA Negeri 2 Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This study employed a descriptive observational design conducted from August to September 2025 with a total sample of 226 twelfth-grade students’ selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through measurements of body weight and height to determine nutritional status based on the BMI-for-Age indicator and haemoglobin levels were assessed using a digital haemometer. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis. The results showed that most respondents had normal nutritional status (52.2%), while a considerable proportion were undernutrition (47.8%). In addition, more than half of the respondents were anaemia (50.9%). These findings indicate that although anthropometric nutritional status was generally normal, anemia remains a health problem that requires attention among adolescents. Regular monitoring of nutritional status and hemoglobin levels accompanied by nutrition education is recommended. Further studies are recommended to use an analytical study design to identify factors associated with nutritional status and anaemia.

This study aims to evaluate the performance of Digilib services at Amikom University Purwokerto using the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) version 3 framework in the Service Operation domain. The phenomenon underlying this study is the indication of a decline in the operational effectiveness of Digilib services as seen from the inconsistency of system performance, access speed, and limited service features. This study uses an evaluative quantitative approach by collecting data through a questionnaire compiled based on five main processes in the Service Operation domain, namely Event Management, Incident Management, Request Fulfillment, Problem Management, and Access Management. The research respondents were library staff directly involved in the management and operation of Digilib services. Data were analyzed using a process maturity model (Process Maturity Model) to assess service capabilities based on a scale of 0–5. The results of the analysis indicate that the overall maturity level of Digilib services is at Level 4 (Managed Process), with an average value of 4.07. This indicates that the operational process has been controlled and measured through certain performance indicators, although there are still opportunities for improvement towards Level 5 (Optimized), especially in the Request Fulfillment and Problem Management domains. These findings contribute to strengthening IT service governance in the higher education sector and provide strategic recommendations for improving automation, system integration, and data-driven service management. The implications of this research encourage the development of policies to improve the quality of digital services and serve as a reference for further research on ITIL implementation in academic settings.

Christian religious education (Christian Religious Education) teaching still lacks the capacity to facilitate students' development of LOTS and HOTS. Therefore, students need to be actively involved in the learning process. Students are unable to complete difficult-level questions due to their low-level thinking skills, but they still tend to complete lower-level questions. This study aims to integrate low-level and high-level thinking skills into the Christian Religious Education (Christian Religious Education) learning process. Using qualitative research with a library approach, the results revealed students' ability to understand Christian Religious Education material through the integration of low-level (LOTS) and high-level (HOTS) thinking skills. The study concluded that LOTS and HOTS can be integrated into Christian Religious Education (Christian Religious Education) learning, enabling students to answer both easy and difficult questions when given by educators in classroom assessments and solve problems encountered in real life. Therefore, Christian religious education needs to focus on developing these two thinking skills in order to improve the overall quality of learning.

Family environments play a crucial role in shaping students’ learning processes, particularly at the primary education level. This study aims to examine the effect of the family environment on learning attention and the fulfillment of learning facilities and infrastructure among Grade VI students at UPT SD Negeri 1 Centre Pattallassang. Using a quantitative associative approach with an ex post facto design, data were collected from 85 students through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and canonical correlation analysis. The results indicate that the family environment has a positive and significant effect on learning attention (B = 0.631, p < 0.001) and on the fulfillment of learning facilities and infrastructure (B = 0.723, p < 0.001). The family environment explains 42.1% of the variance in learning attention and 48.6% of the variance in the fulfillment of learning facilities. Canonical correlation analysis further reveals a strong simultaneous relationship between the family environment and the combined outcomes of learning attention and learning facilities. These findings highlight the central role of the family as a key educational microsystem that supports both cognitive–affective engagement and material learning conditions. The study underscores the importance of strengthening school–family collaboration and family-based support strategies to enhance learning quality in primary education.  

Digital transformation has reshaped community life by increasing internet dependency in daily communication, financial transactions, and public services. However, this rapid development has also intensified cybersecurity risks, particularly link-based scams and the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Limited digital literacy at the family level makes communities vulnerable to phishing attacks, personal data breaches, and AI-generated fraud. This community service program aimed to strengthen digital literacy among residents of RW 03 Kalipancur, Semarang, through participatory education focusing on link scam detection and responsible AI usage. The program involved interactive lectures, case discussions, simulations, and pre-test and post-test evaluations with 18 participants from family groups, PKK cadres, and elderly residents. The results showed a significant increase in understanding, from an average pre-test score of 43% to a post-test score of 84%. Beyond knowledge improvement, participants demonstrated increased awareness and behavioral change toward safer digital practices. The findings suggest that community-based participatory approaches effectively enhance family-level digital resilience and can serve as a replicable empowerment model in other communities facing similar digital threats.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between online shopping activities and personal financial management among university students in Indonesia. The background of this research lies in the increasing digitalization of daily consumption, which has encouraged students to engage more actively in e-commerce transactions. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 100 undergraduate students through an online questionnaire based on Likert-scale indicators. The independent variables consist of buyer characteristics (age, gender, and income sources) and online shopping activities (frequency, spending amount, and shopping motivation). Meanwhile, personal financial management is measured through financial planning and spending control. The findings show that students demonstrate very high levels of online shopping activity and acknowledge the strong influence of demographic factors on their consumption behavior. Descriptive analysis also indicates high scores for financial planning and spending control, although intensive online shopping remains a potential risk to financial stability. The implications of this study highlight the need to strengthen financial literacy among students to help them develop healthier budgeting habits and reduce impulsive buying driven by digital platforms. This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of digital consumer behavior and support the development of financial education programs for young adults.

Health communication and community empowerment are crucial for improving health outcomes at the primary health care level. As a primary health care facility, the Empat Ulu Community Health Center in Palembang plays a strategic role in disseminating health information, strengthening community capacity, and promoting healthy lifestyles through various educational activities. The Field Learning Practice (PBL) activity, conducted by students within the community health center's work area, aimed to strengthen the implementation of health communication, particularly in promoting Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) in elementary schools. The methods used included field observation, discussions, face-to-face counseling, handwashing demonstrations, and the distribution of educational media. The results showed an increase in students' understanding of PHBS, demonstrated by their ability to answer questions, practice handwashing correctly, and their enthusiasm during interactive sessions. This activity not only strengthened students' knowledge but also demonstrated that a two-way communication approach and the use of simple visual media can enhance the effectiveness of health education. Overall, this PBL activity contributed to supporting the community health promotion program and strengthened the role of students in encouraging community self-reliance in maintaining health.

This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of PEMAPOSI (Pemahaman Eksposisi), an interactive digital learning media designed to improve fourth-grade students’ comprehension of exposition texts. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The media was developed in the form of an interactive flipbook integrating local cultural elements and was implemented in an elementary school setting. Data were collected through validation sheets and questionnaires involving media experts, material experts, teachers, and students. The results showed that PEMAPOSI obtained a validity score of 93.5% from media experts and 89.5% from material experts, both categorized as “very valid.” User response results also indicated a high level of practicality, with teacher and student assessments reaching 91.6% and 87.5% respectively. These findings indicate that PEMAPOSI is feasible, practical, and effective as a learning medium to support students’ understanding of exposition texts in elementary schools. The integration of interactive features and local cultural elements contributes positively to student engagement and learning outcomes.
