Using a descriptive qualitative approach and desk research method, this study analyzes various scientific sources to evaluate the contribution of TMS to the development of computational thinking, which includes decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. The results of the study show that TMS is able to increase students' interest in learning, independence, and metacognitive awareness, although its implementation still faces challenges such as limited infrastructure and teacher training. This review recommends the need for further empirical studies and education policy support so that the integration of TMS can be more optimal in the context of the Independent Curriculum and the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile.

This study aims to examine the implementation of political campaign regulations in broadcast media (television and radio) in the Election of Governor and Deputy Governor of East Kalimantan. The main focus of the study is on the effectiveness of coordination between policy implementing institutions—KPU, Bawaslu, and KPID—as well as communication patterns between supervisory institutions and broadcast in implementing campaign regulations. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of regulations has not reached its intended purposes. The absence of a Task Force as a coordination forum and one-way institution communication are the main obstacles. This study recommends the establishment of a cross-institutional coordination forum for the upcoming governor elections. This step also needs to be balanced with the improvement of regulation understanding among media crews, and the active involvement of all broadcast media, including communities. Those are all fundamental to strengthen supervision and promote fair and transparent political campaigns.

The objective of this research is to understand how the stunting reduction policy is implemented by the Health Office in West Seram Regency. The issue to be addressed in this research is: How is the implementation of the stunting reduction policy by the Health Office in West Seram Regency? This research involved eight informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative analysis technique with a case study approach. Based on the policy implementation theory by Edward III, which includes four variables: Communication, Resources, Disposition, and Bureaucracy. The findings of this research indicate that the implementation of the stunting reduction policy has been carried out, but it is not yet optimal. In terms of communication, policy communication has been conducted through various media, but it has not reached the entire community. Limited resources, especially nutrition personnel and supporting facilities, are the main obstacles. The disposition of implementers is fairly good, but the lack of incentives hampers work motivation. Regarding bureaucracy, the appointment process of bureaucrats is carried out based on competence with reporting systems through the e-PPGBM application, but cross-sectoral coordination remains ineffective.

This study aims to analyze the impact of personal data protection on consumer satisfaction in online transactions in the marketplace. Along with increasing attention to privacy, consumers are increasingly demanding better data protection policies from marketplaces. This research uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interview techniques and content analysis of the privacy policies of several marketplaces in Indonesia. The results show that an effective data protection policy has a positive effect on the level of consumer satisfaction. The main influencing factors are policy transparency, consumer awareness, and their experience with personal data management. However, there is still a gap between existing policies and implementation in the field. Marketplaces that successfully manage personal data well can increase loyalty and competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market. The research also highlights the importance of educating consumers about their rights to personal data and the urgency for marketplaces to improve supervision and compliance with existing regulations. Overall, personal data protection not only fulfills legal obligations, but also becomes a differentiation strategy that increases consumer trust and strengthens marketplaces' position in the market.

This study analyzes the role of digital transformation as a strategic instrument to expand public service accessibility in Indonesia. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of open-access national journals and relevant policy documents from the last decade, the research highlights how digitalization, particularly e-government implementation, enhances service efficiency, transparency, and inclusivity. Key findings indicate that digital platforms like SP4N-LAPOR! have improved public responsiveness and accountability, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, challenges such as infrastructure disparities, uneven digital literacy, bureaucratic resistance, and data security risks hinder optimal outcomes. The study concludes that digital transformation significantly supports public service reform but requires integrated strategies, including infrastructure development, digital literacy programs, inclusive regulations, and multi-stakeholder coordination. These recommendations aim to bridge the digital divide and ensure equitable access to public services across all regions and vulnerable groups.

Clinical evaluation and supervision are two crucial elements in improving the quality of learning and professional practice, especially in the fields of education and health services. Evaluation serves as a tool to assess performance, effectiveness, and achievement of learning or service objectives, while clinical supervision emphasizes the process of mentoring, coaching, and competency development through a reflective and collaborative approach between supervisors and supervised individuals. In practice, the implementation of clinical evaluation and supervision faces various challenges, ranging from limited competent human resources, lack of understanding of the concept and purpose of correct supervision, to resistance from the supervised. However, with the right approach and ongoing training, clinical evaluation and supervision can be an effective means of building a professional work culture, improving service quality, and creating a supportive learning environment. This study aims to comprehensively describe the basic concepts, implementation strategies, and main obstacles in clinical evaluation and supervision, in order to provide policy recommendations and best practices in the field.

Land law politics in Indonesia plays a crucial role in realizing social justice and sustainable development through fair and sustainable management of agrarian resources. The primary legal foundation governing land matters is Law No. 5 of 1960 on Basic Agrarian Principles (UU Pokok Agraria), which asserts that all land, water, and air spaces are controlled by the state and utilized to the greatest extent for the welfare of the people. However, the implementation of land law politics faces significant challenges, including disparities in land distribution, agrarian conflicts, and misalignment between central and regional policies. Policy changes, such as the introduction of Land Management Rights and Land Banks through the Omnibus Law, add complexity and raise questions about their alignment with UU Pokok Agraria's fundamental principles. Resolving land disputes also becomes a critical issue, necessitating effective and inclusive legal mechanisms. Therefore, comprehensive reform in land law politics is required, encompassing regulatory harmonization, consistent law enforcement, and active public participation, to ensure fair and sustainable land management for the welfare of the people.

Economically, 68% of respondents stated that the PKH assistance helped meet their basic needs, although it was not sufficient for long-term needs. Regarding implementation, 80% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the social facilitation provided, although administrative procedures and limited access in remote areas remain challenges. The conclusion of this study indicates that PKH has a significant social impact on poor households. However, the program’s effectiveness still needs improvement through streamlined administrative processes, adjustment of the aid amount, and greater attention to hard-to-reach areas so that the program’s benefits can be felt more evenly and sustainably.

Public service is an essential element that reflects the quality of governance in Indonesia, particularly in population administration, which includes the issuance of important documents such as ID cards (KTP), family cards (KK), birth certificates, and death certificates. Along with technological advancements, Indonesia launched the Digital Population Identity (IKD) application to improve efficiency and reduce reliance on physical documents. This study aims to evaluate the positive public’s response of the IKD application in Singosari District, Malang Regency, as well as to identify the challenges and factors influencing the implementation of this policy. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research with approaches such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that although the IKD application facilitates the administrative process, there are still challenges such as a lack of public’s response, limited mobile device availability, and technical issues with the application. Socialization through social media and the improvement of operator capacity are key supporting factors for the success of the implementation. This study contributes theoretically to the development of E-Governance concepts and practically highlights the importance of digital education for the public. It is suggested that enhanced socialization for groups less familiar with technology, improved supporting infrastructure, and training for service operators are necessary to ensure the success of the IKD application in population administration services in Singosari District.

Indonesia as a multicultural country with religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity faces serious challenges in maintaining social harmony amidst increasing intolerance, extremism, and politicization of religion. In response, the government developed a religious moderation policy to instill just, balanced, and tolerant religious values. However, this policy has not been fully grounded in society, given the gap in understanding between state idealism and the developing social reality. This study aims to analyze the concept, implementation, and structural and cultural challenges in the implementation of religious moderation policies in Indonesia. The method used is a qualitative approach with the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) technique on various relevant national and international scientific publications in the period 2018–2024. The results of the study show that the implementation of this policy is still dominated by a formalistic approach and has not involved active participation from grassroots communities. In addition, ideological resistance, weak public communication, and minimal impact-based evaluation are the main challenges. Therefore, a more participatory, contextual, and local culture-based moderation approach is needed so that this policy does not just become a state project, but a shared life value.

This study aims to analyze the concept of Islamic public finance according to Abu 'Ubaid al-Qasim bin Salam in Kitab al-Amwal and its relevance to the implementation of zakat-based fiscal policy in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and library research method, the study reveals that Abu 'Ubaid emphasized three main principles in public finance management: justice, transparency, and public benefit (maslahah). He viewed zakat as a public financial instrument that must be managed by the state to ensure fair and equitable distribution of wealth. The implementation of zakat-based fiscal policy in Indonesia still faces challenges such as low public awareness, lack of integration into the national and regional budgets, and uneven zakat distribution. Based on Abu ‘Ubaid's thoughts, the proposed solutions include strengthening regulations, improving transparency in zakat institutions, and optimizing the use of technology. Integrating zakat into the public financial system can be an effective strategy to reduce social inequality and promote sustainable public welfare.

Digital transformation in the taxation system is one of the strategic steps of the Indonesian government in increasing administrative efficiency and state revenue. This study aims to analyze the form of digital tax strategy transformation in Indonesia, identify challenges and opportunities in its implementation, and assess its contribution to increasing national competitiveness. Based on literature studies and current policy analysis, it was found that tax digitalization shows progress through the implementation of e-filing, e-invoices, e-forms, and the imposition of Value Added Tax or VAT on digital services. Digitalization is still dominated by administrative aspects and has not fully touched on the strategic aspects of tax compliance. The challenges faced include low digital and tax literacy, limited technological infrastructure, and resistance from business actors, especially the informal sector and MSMEs. This study contributes to formulating policy recommendations to strengthen the implementation of a digital tax strategy that not only focuses on compliance, but is able to expand the tax base, increase fiscal efficiency, and create a fairer tax system that supports national competitiveness.
