Instilling Islamic art values ​​from an early age is a strategic step in shaping children's character based on local spiritual and cultural values. One potential approach to achieving this goal is through the introduction and learning of traditional Islamic musical instruments, such as the gendang habsyi. The gendang habsyi, as a musical instrument that is identical to the poems of praise to the Prophet Muhammad SAW, has high educational and spiritual value, and is able to attract children's interest through its rhythmic and interactive elements. This article aims to examine the role of the gendang habsyi in fostering elementary school children's interest in Islamic art, both from musical, educational, and social aspects. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved observation and interviews with art teachers, students, and parents at an Islamic elementary school. The findings show that the introduction of the gendang habsyi is not only able to arouse children's interest in Islamic musical art, but also strengthen their love for Islamic culture, foster a spirit of togetherness, and increase children's self-confidence in expressing themselves positively. In addition, the fun and contextual learning method through the habsyi drum game has proven effective in building an inclusive and meaningful learning atmosphere. Therefore, the integration of habsyi drums in the art curriculum at the elementary school level is worth considering as one of the strategic alternatives in Islamic art education based on local culture.

A good administrative system in admitting new students not only makes things easier for prospective students, but also increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the registration process. With a structured system, prospective students can register directly at the counter or via an online platform, which makes access easier and reduces waiting time1. This is in line with the need for institutions to adapt to the digital era and improve services to prospective students. However, this often happens in the process of accessing information and inputting data. Because some students are still searching for registration information at Pancasakti University manually, this will take time and energy. When Pancasakti University Tegal opened student registration, thousands of prospective Pancasakti University Tegal students and their parents contacted the administration of Pancasakti University Tegal with various questions about the registration process and requirements. Chatbots, as a technological innovation based on artificial intelligence, offer an efficient solution to this problem. Chatbot is AI software that can interact with humans via text or voice, simulate human conversation, and provide relevant responses..

In terms of responsibility, these children have awareness of interacting with family, but still lack overall concern.  

This research aims to analyze the impact of family socio-economic conditions on the interest in learning of preschool children (ages 3-6) at KB Darussalam Sidoarjo. Interest in learning at an early age is an important foundation for children's cognitive and socio-emotional development in the future. However, this interest does not exist in isolation but is greatly influenced by the child's immediate environment, namely the family and its socio-economic conditions. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory is used as a conceptual framework to understand how the fulfillment of children's basic needs, which is often related to socio-economic conditions, affects their motivation and interest in learning. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, focusing on KB Darussalam Sidoarjo. Data is collected through in-depth interviews with parents/guardians and teachers, as well as participatory observation of children in the learning environment. The research results show that the socio-economic conditions of families have a significant and multifaceted impact on the learning interest of preschool children. Economic limitations can hinder the fulfillment of children's physiological needs and their sense of safety, which directly reduces their energy and focus on learning. In addition, socio-economic conditions affect the quality of parent-child interactions and the availability of learning stimulation at home, which are crucial to fostering a sense of love, belonging, and appreciation in children. An environment that inadequately supports basic needs tends to result in lower levels of interest in learning.

Acute Otitis Media (AOM) is a common middle ear infection in children, particularly in rural areas. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics of AOM in children treated at rural health centers (puskesmas) and to examine the barriers to effective management. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through a literature review analyzing symptoms, stages, risk factors, and treatment approaches. The findings reveal that AOM in children often begins with an upper respiratory tract infection and presents with sudden ear pain, high fever, sleep disturbances, and ear discharge. Risk factors include young age, poor environmental conditions, and limited access to healthcare services. Management of AOM depends on its clinical stage and requires accurate diagnosis. However, in rural puskesmas, a lack of diagnostic tools and limited public awareness often leads to delayed treatment. Therefore, it is essential to provide health workers with basic ENT training, ensure the availability of diagnostic equipment, and educate parents to enable early detection and prevent complications that could affect a child’s development.
