This article examines Ibn Khaldun's philosophical perspective on wages and its relevance to the wage system in Indonesia in the modern era. Ibn Khaldun, a prominent 14th-century Muslim thinker, emphasized that wages are closely linked to the value of work, social justice, and the economic stability of a society. In his Muqaddimah, he emphasized that establishing fair wages is not merely an economic issue but also a moral and social pillar that can prevent societal disintegration. Equitable wages, he argued, must be able to guarantee a decent living for workers and their families, while also supporting continued productivity and social cohesion. This study uses a qualitative normative approach through content analysis of relevant texts in the Muqaddimah and comparing them with wage policies in Indonesia, including minimum wage regulations, labor protection, and welfare policies. Data were obtained from library research, national regulations, and recent academic literature on wage policies. The results of the study indicate that although Indonesia has a minimum wage regulation, its implementation still faces significant challenges, particularly in ensuring fairness for informal sector and low-income workers. Factors such as regional economic inequality, inflation, and weak labor oversight often undermine the effectiveness of these policies. By revisiting the principles of Ibn Khaldun, this article offers the perspective that ideal wages should not only be measured by labor market needs but should also integrate principles of ethics, morality, and social responsibility. This integration is expected to strengthen worker welfare, increase national productivity, and maintain long-term economic stability. This study also provides a relevant philosophical framework for critiquing and reforming wage policies in Indonesia, with reference to the values of justice and welfare in classical Islamic economics.

In Indonesia, there are approximately 22.97 million people, or approximately 8.5 percent of the population, with the largest proportion being in the elderly group. One form of disability is physical disability, a condition in which limbs are imperfect due to defects that cause damage to bones, muscles, and joints, so that body functions cannot run normally. This condition often impacts not only the physical aspect, but also the psychological health of the sufferer. One of the main challenges faced by people with physical disabilities is maintaining resilience, namely the individual's ability to overcome depression, anxiety, pressure, and stress in living daily life. This study uses a literature review method to examine the results of previous studies relevant to the topic of resilience in people with physical disabilities. The data collection process was carried out through literature searches on the internet using sources from Google Scholar and Google Books. The criteria for selected literature include research that focuses on psychological interventions, especially reality therapy, and its effect on increasing resilience. Reality therapy is a counseling approach that emphasizes personal responsibility, awareness of choices, and the development of skills to face life's challenges effectively. The study results indicate that reality therapy has been shown to have a positive effect on increasing resilience in individuals with physical disabilities. Through a structured counseling process, this therapy helps individuals recognize their potential, develop positive attitudes, and develop adaptive coping strategies. Furthermore, reality therapy can increase motivation, self-confidence, and the ability to make constructive decisions when faced with physical limitations and social pressures. These findings indicate that the application of reality therapy can be an effective approach to supporting the psychological well-being of individuals with physical disabilities, while also contributing to more holistic rehabilitation efforts in Indonesia.

Environmental character education from an early age is a strategic step in developing a generation that cares about the natural world. Instilling this value is crucial in concrete ways so that children can understand and directly experience the benefits of protecting the environment. One effort undertaken is through a simple hydroponic learning activity involving children from TKS Kartika V 16. The activity was held once at the Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic with the support of lecturers as resource persons. Through a hands-on learning method, the children were introduced to how to grow lettuce and bok choy using a simple hydroponic system. The learning process included an introduction to tools and materials, an explanation of the planting stages, and plant care. Observations throughout the activity showed high enthusiasm among the children. They were actively involved, from preparing the planting medium, planting the seeds, to providing air and nutrients to the plants. This activity fostered a sense of care and responsibility for the plants they grew themselves. Furthermore, the children's fine motor skills were also demonstrated through activities such as arranging the planting medium, sowing the seeds, and assembling the hydroponic equipment. This activity not only developed individual skills but also taught social values such as cooperation and mutual assistance. Children learn to work in groups, help each other, and appreciate each other's roles in the planting process. This hands-on, hands-on approach has proven effective in strengthening environmental awareness in a fun and contextual way. Therefore, environmental education through hydroponics can be a practical, inspiring, and easy-to-implement learning medium for young children, while also serving as a concrete example of how character education can go hand-in-hand with the introduction of environmentally friendly technologies.

This community service program aims to educate students and adolescents at SMA Negeri 1 Medan about the importance of anti-corruption education. This activity is motivated by the increasing attention to preventing corruption from an early age, by instilling the values of integrity, honesty, and responsibility in the educational environment. The implementation method includes interactive counseling, group discussions, and case simulations relevant to students' daily lives. Participants consisted of 180 students from grades 11 and 12 who actively participated in each session. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of the basic concepts of corruption, types of corruption, and the important role of the younger generation in creating an anti-corruption culture. This education is expected to be the first step in shaping students' character with integrity and legal insight from an early age.

This study examines the impact of the Thematic Community Service Program (KKN Tematik) on rural development, particularly focusing on two main initiatives: the creation of social signage and the renovation of the village security post. The KKN Tematik program serves as a platform for students to contribute to local development through scientific knowledge and participatory approaches. The first initiative involved designing and installing various social signage, such as warnings for “Damaged Road,” “Detour,” and notices for “Obituary,” which played a significant role in improving public awareness about road safety and other community issues. The second initiative focused on renovating the village security post, thereby enhancing local safety infrastructure and encouraging a sense of collective responsibility for the community’s security. The methodology used was participatory, which involved engaging local residents in every phase of the project, from planning to implementation and evaluation. This ensured that the initiatives were not only relevant to the community but also received strong support from local stakeholders. The results highlighted several positive outcomes: a marked improvement in visual communication awareness, increased collective participation in village security, and a better understanding of the role of infrastructure in community well-being. Additionally, the program also contributed to the local economy by employing village workers and sourcing materials locally, which stimulated the regional economy. The success of these initiatives demonstrates that community-based interventions, even on a small scale, can have substantial social and economic impacts, and it also shows that such projects can encourage sustainable rural development by fostering collaboration, strengthening local infrastructure, and promoting community engagement.

This study aims to explore the concept of Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence and its role in developing high-quality human resources, with a specific focus on the implementation at SMAIT Ash-Shohwah Berau. Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence refers to a form of spiritual capacity derived from deep interaction with the Qur’an, encompassing the intelligence of the spirit, soul, heart, and moral consciousness. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach to provide an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, participant observations during religious and academic activities, and documentation analysis of school programs. The findings reveal that the cultivation of Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence at SMAIT Ash-Shohwah Berau is systematically integrated into the school’s curriculum and extracurricular programs, particularly through the high-quality Tahfidzul Qur’an program, which is mandatory for all students. The process of memorizing the Qur’an is not only aimed at achieving mastery of verses but also at nurturing closeness to Allah SWT, shaping attitudes and values that form the foundation of high-quality human resources. Students participating in the program demonstrate notable improvements in discipline, responsibility, enthusiasm for learning, social competence, emotional regulation, honesty, independence, and leadership skills. Furthermore, the study highlights that Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence serves as a transformative element, influencing both academic achievement and personal character. It fosters an integrated development that balances intellectual capability with moral integrity, enabling students to contribute meaningfully to society. The results suggest that embedding Qur’anic Spiritual Intelligence in educational settings can be a strategic pathway for producing graduates who are not only academically competent but also spiritually grounded and socially responsible. This has significant implications for Islamic education institutions aiming to develop comprehensive human resources aligned with Qur’anic values and the demands of the modern world.

This study aims to uncover, analyze, and document the cultural values embodied in the paca or belis tradition in Manggarai community weddings in Golo Wangkung Village, Congkar District, East Manggarai Regency. The belis tradition is understood as an important element in wedding customs that symbolizes the groom's family's respect for the bride's family for their services in raising and educating their daughter until she is ready to start a household. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, utilizing data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, the bridal couple, and local residents, as well as documentation of the traditional procession. The results show that belis not only contains economic value through the provision of material or livestock, but is also full of social, cultural, and spiritual meaning. The main values identified include respect for parents and ancestors, the responsibility of the groom's family for the continuity of family relationships, strengthening social ties between two extended families, and a symbol of the legitimacy of marriage according to Manggarai customs. The belis tradition also functions as a mechanism to maintain harmonious relationships between families and strengthen social networks within the community. Furthermore, this tradition plays a strategic role in maintaining local cultural identity amidst modernization and changing social values. However, challenges arise when the economic value of belis experiences inflation or a shift in meaning, potentially triggering financial burdens and conflict. Therefore, preserving the belis tradition requires adjustments to its values and implementation mechanisms to maintain its relevance, without losing the essence of respect and togetherness that are at the heart of Manggarai culture. This research makes an important contribution to the documentation and preservation of cultural heritage, and serves as a reference for local governments, traditional leaders, and the community in maintaining the sustainability of the paca or belis tradition.

One form of crime that is highly relevant in the context of today's society is the crime of embezzlement in office. This embezzlement can be defined as a dishonest act committed by one or more individuals by hiding goods or property belonging to another person without the owner's knowledge. This action aims to transfer ownership of the goods, which can be categorized as theft, taking possession of goods, or using the goods for unauthorized personal gain. In many cases, embezzlement in office often involves individuals who have access or authority over company assets, making it easier for them to commit misuse. This study applies a normative juridical research method to analyze existing problems in the context of criminal law. This method allows researchers to explore and understand applicable legal norms and how they are applied in real cases. The results of the study show that the Judge's Ratio Decidendi in imposing sanctions on cases of embezzlement in office, as stated in Decision Number 542/Pid.B/2023/PN Cbi and Decision Number 355/Pid.B/2024/PN Cbi, is based on a number of in-depth legal considerations. In this case, the judge first explained the elements contained in Article 374 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) charged by the public prosecutor. The defendant was found guilty of committing embezzlement in office by embezzling company funds for personal gain. Therefore, the defendant was sentenced commensurate with his actions, which violated Article 374 of the Criminal Code. Criminal liability for the perpetrator of the crime of embezzlement in office has been legally and convincingly proven, with all elements of the charge having been fulfilled. This indicates that the perpetrator can be subject to sanctions in accordance with applicable legal provisions, thus providing a deterrent effect and upholding justice in the criminal law system. This research is expected to contribute to the development of understanding regarding embezzlement in office and its legal implications in Indonesia, as well as encourage more effective law enforcement in handling similar cases in the future.

The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle in the criminal justice system that serves to protect the rights of the accused from the risk of unfair punishment. This principle states that a person is presumed innocent until proven legally and convincingly guilty of committing a crime before a court. This research uses an empirical juridical method, namely a legal approach that examines how positive law, especially unwritten law, is applied in society. In this context, the research highlights the implementation of the presumption of innocence in criminal justice practices in Indonesia. The application of the presumption of innocence is very important for the judicial process to run fairly, directed, and achieve the main objectives of criminal justice, namely upholding justice, legal certainty, and legal order. The relationship between this principle and human rights is very close, because with this principle, suspects and defendants are guaranteed to obtain legal protection during the legal process. Rights such as not being treated as guilty before a court decision, the right to defense, and the right to humane treatment are part of this principle. Enforcing the presumption of innocence is not only the responsibility of law enforcement officers such as the police, prosecutors, and judges, but also all elements of society. Therefore, it is crucial for every citizen to understand and respect this principle in their social lives, especially in responding to ongoing legal cases. As a concrete implementation, law enforcement must implement policies that protect the public and maintain a sense of security, for example by increasing surveillance in crime-prone areas. This way, the law can be enforced fairly, and public trust in the criminal justice system will increase. The presumption of innocence is a crucial foundation for the creation of humane and fair trials in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the application of laws and regulations relevant to the topic discussed by employing a normative legal research method. Normative legal research is a method focused on the study of legal norms, doctrines, and principles found in legislation and scholarly writings. In this study, two main approaches are applied: the statute approach and the conceptual approach. The statute approach involves a systematic examination of legal provisions found in various legal instruments, including laws, government regulations, ministerial regulations, and other related legal sources. By analyzing these written norms, the research seeks to identify the legal basis that governs the issue under study. This approach enables the researcher to determine the extent to which existing regulations are relevant, consistent, and effectively implemented in addressing the legal problem. Meanwhile, the conceptual approach is used to explore the legal theories, principles, and definitions that underlie the legal rules being analyzed. This approach allows the study to go beyond the textual interpretation of law and delve into the conceptual framework that gives meaning to legal provisions. It includes an analysis of key legal doctrines, theoretical perspectives, and fundamental legal concepts such as justice, legal certainty, and legal responsibility. Combining these two approaches provides a comprehensive understanding of how the law is both applied and interpreted in the context of the research topic. It helps uncover inconsistencies, gaps, or overlaps in the regulatory framework, and also facilitates a deeper reflection on the rationale behind the law. Moreover, this methodology allows for the formulation of constructive legal arguments and recommendations, based on a sound interpretation of legal norms and principles.

In an increasingly complex and dynamic global landscape, strategic leadership plays a pivotal role in ensuring organizational resilience and sustainable growth. This study seeks to provide a meaningful contribution to the development of leadership strategies aimed at fostering both learning-oriented and ethically grounded organizations. Adopting a literature review approach, the research synthesizes a range of scholarly works to explore in depth the leadership practices that facilitate continuous learning while embedding ethical principles into organizational operations and culture.The analysis reveals that the essence of effective strategic leadership lies in the capacity to navigate rapid changes, exercise authority with wisdom, and cultivate a culture of integrity. Leaders who can anticipate and adapt to environmental shifts, while maintaining transparency and fairness, are better positioned to build trust and commitment within their organizations. Additionally, strategic leadership is found to be instrumental in shaping an environment that nurtures collaboration, stimulates innovation, and incorporates ethical considerations into all levels of decision-making.The findings underscore that leadership strategies must not only address operational and competitive challenges but also prioritize moral responsibility and collective well-being. This dual focus enables organizations to remain agile while preserving their ethical identity, thus strengthening their reputation and long-term sustainability.Ultimately, the study offers practical recommendations for leaders, particularly in the public and educational sectors, to design adaptive organizational systems rooted in ethical values. By integrating learning processes with moral governance, leaders can create a synergistic and sustainable framework that supports both organizational performance and societal trust, ensuring relevance and resilience in the face of continual change.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the character education values of the superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, which have not been studied in depth before. The character research was selected with literature sources, and analyzed qualitatively. The discussion and analysis resulted in findings that Cristiano Ronaldo has several superior characters, namely: religious, honest, competitive, self-confident, professional, high work ethic, disciplined, love for the country, appreciate achievement, communicative, care for the environment, care for society, and responsibility. These character values make him a superstar who stands out both on and off the field. His religious devotion, honesty, and sense of responsibility reflect strong moral foundations, setting him as a role model for aspiring athletes and individuals seeking success. Ronaldo's competitive spirit and high self-confidence have helped him achieve excellence on the field, while his professional attitude and exceptional work ethic highlight the importance of dedication and perseverance in achieving success. Furthermore, his discipline in training and love for his country portray a deep commitment not only to his career but also to his community and country. Additionally, Ronaldo's appreciation for achievement, communicative nature, and care for the environment demonstrate that his character extends beyond personal success, as he values teamwork and the well-being of others. His contribution to various charitable causes and societal issues further establishes his role as a responsible individual who uses his fame and fortune for the betterment of society. These character values make him an ideal role model, both in the world of sports and in broader society. We recommend Cristiano Ronaldo's character values as a role model for those who hope for a successful career, and inspiration for the practice of Islamic education values, as they encompass integrity, hard work, and social responsibility.

Museums as cultural preservation institutions have the responsibility to convey information about collections in an informative manner to the public. One of the historical events displayed at the Brawijaya Museum is Operation Trident in 1968. This research aims to design collection labels as an effective communication medium by considering aspects of archive classification, material selection, label design, and information readability. The method used is action research which is carried out through the planning and action stages. The label is designed using Art Paper material with a combination of black-and-white colors and Times New Roman fonts. This research not only emphasizes the aesthetic aspect, but also pays attention to the functional aspect in conveying messages to visitors. The label design process is carried out by paying attention to the suitability between historical content and the form of visual presentation, so that information can be conveyed in a concise, clear, and interesting manner. Effectiveness evaluation was carried out through the EPIC model approach to 105 respondents, including empathy, persuasion, impact, and communication indicators. The results of the study showed that the label was designed to be very effective as a communication medium for museums with high scores on all four indicators. The implication of this research is to improve the visitor experience in understanding the historical value of collections and the efficiency of archive management in the museum environment. In addition, the design of this label can be a reference for other museums in developing information media based on a visual communication approach that is right on target. Thus, the museum serves not only as a repository of artifacts, but also as an interactive and communicative educational center. Furthermore, this research emphasizes the importance of integration between information technology and visual communication strategies in the management of modern museums. The use of professionally designed labels based on the results of empirical evaluation contributes to the improvement of the image of museum institutions in the eyes of the public. It is hoped that this approach can encourage museums to be more innovative in creating participatory learning experiences, especially for the younger generation.

This article discusses the implementation of policies to create a conducive school culture and climate as an important part of efforts to improve the quality of learning. A safe, comfortable, and orderly learning environment is essential for effective and enjoyable learning. This study aims to analyze the strategies and roles of the principal and all school members in shaping a positive school culture and climate. The main focus lies on four managerial aspects: program planning, organization, leadership implementation, and structured control. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, applied in several elementary schools. Data were collected through field observation techniques, in-depth interviews with related parties (such as the principal, teachers, and students), and documentation studies of school policies and programs. The main findings indicate that a conducive school culture and climate are formed through a series of consistently implemented positive habits, strong collaboration among school members, and the visionary and communicative leadership of the principal. In addition, the active involvement of all school elements in creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and support is very influential in building a positive learning environment. Policy implementation is not merely administrative, but also emphasizes the development of character values, discipline, and a sense of shared responsibility. The end result is improved learning quality and improved student character, demonstrating that school climate and culture play a crucial role in the overall educational process.

This study examines adolescents' perceptions of the representation of premarital pregnancy in the film Dua Garis Biru (Two Blue Lines), and its impact on their views on relationships, responsibility, and moral values. Film is positioned as a mass communication medium capable of shaping public opinion and effectively conveying social messages, particularly to adolescents. The approach used was a qualitative reception study method, involving eight adolescent informants as the main participants. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews, then analyzed using thematic coding using NVivo software, to identify patterns of perception and meaning that emerged from participant responses. The results showed that most adolescents viewed Dua Garis Biru as an educational film that portrayed the realities of adolescent life honestly and touchingly. The film was deemed successful in conveying messages about the importance of responsibility, self-control, and awareness of the consequences of premarital relationships. Furthermore, an understanding of the need for open sexual education and healthy communication between children and parents emerged. The adolescents also highlighted the representation of gender inequality and the greater social pressures felt by women in situations of premarital pregnancy. The film was considered not only entertainment, but also a learning medium capable of shaping adolescents' emotional, moral, and social awareness. The film's reflective and contextual storytelling encourages young audiences to better understand the social realities around them. Thus, Dua Garis Biru (Two Blue Lines) makes a significant contribution in conveying social and moral educational values to adolescents.  

The objective of this mentoring activity is to increase the capacity of swimming pool managers, particularly in strengthening management and sustainable management strategies. With this increased capacity, it is hoped that Tirta Arum Swimming Pool can develop into a valuable village asset, both economically and socially. The swimming pool will not only provide a source of income for the village but also serve as a means of recreation, education, and social interaction for the surrounding community. The method used in this mentoring activity is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), an approach that emphasizes active community participation in every stage of the planning process, decision-making, and program implementation. PRA enables village communities, including Tirta Arum Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) managers, to analyze their environmental conditions, identify problems, and design contextual and sustainable solutions. This approach is implemented through structured mentoring, education, and training activities. Direct community involvement aims to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for swimming pool management. In addition, with training tailored to local needs, managers are expected to be able to apply effective management principles, from planning and financial management to customer service and promotional strategies. Thus, the results of this activity are not only temporary improvements, but also long-term empowerment that contributes to the independence and business aspirations of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes). Through the PRA method, this activity not only provides an immediate solution to swimming pool management problems but also increases the independence of the community and managers in developing and operating the business sustainably. This increased community participation is expected to foster a sense of ownership (a sense of belonging) towards the swimming pool as a shared property.

The Law on State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) by the Indonesian House of Representatives on February 4, 2025 has been ratified, and then signed by President Prabowo Subianto on February 24, 2025, destroying the concept of who the state administrators are as regulated in Law Number 28 of 1999 concerning the Implementation of a Clean State Free from Corruption, Collusion, and Nepotism.Law No. 1 of 2025 concerning BUMN, places the directors, commissioners, and supervisors of the state-owned company not as state administrators. This means that the Corruption Eradication Commission or KPK can no longer handle law enforcement in BUMN if corruption occurs, except for the Police, Prosecutor's Office and BPK (supervision), as stated in Article 3X of Law No. 1 of 2025, which states that: "The Agency's organs and employees are not state administrators. It is emphasized again in Article 9G: Members of the Board of Directors, Board of Commissioners, and Supervisory Board of BUMN are not state administrators". Meanwhile, financial supervision is still carried out by the Audit Board as stated in Article 3K: Audit of the management and financial responsibility of the Agency is carried out by the Audit Board. Although in the KPK Law, it is stated in Article 11 paragraph (1) that: "In carrying out the duties as referred to in Article 6 letter e, the Corruption Eradication Commission has the authority to conduct investigations, inquiries, and prosecutions against Corruption Crimes that: a. involve law enforcement officers, State Administrators, and other people related to Corruption Crimes committed by law enforcement officers or State Administrators; and/or b. involve state losses of at least IDR 1,000,000,000.00 (one billion rupiah)".Therefore, the Law Order, the KPK must submit and obey to carry it out, because the Law (UU) functions as a basic or principal rule for organizing the state, regulating society, a tool to limit power, and as a means of social renewal. The Law also functions to regulate life in society, the nation, and the state and is expected to be able to resolve various problems that exist in society.In fact, the impact of corruption in BUMN is no joke. The destruction of economic growth, state and community income can be disrupted which results in direct state losses, but leads to the potential for increasing poverty and the loss of the government's safety net in the form of declining quality of public services and investor confidence in Indonesia, etc.

This study examines social ecology from the perspective of hadith science (‘ulum al-hadith), with the aim of exploring the environmental and social values contained in prophetic hadiths. The main focus of this study is the methodological analysis of hadiths related to ecological issues, such as environmental conservation, social justice, and natural resource management. This study uses a hadith criticism approach, namely by examining aspects of authenticity through analysis of sanad (chain of narrators), criticism of matan (the content of the hadith), and contextual and semantic interpretation of hadiths relevant to environmental themes. In this study, the hadiths analyzed were selectively selected based on their relevance to the principles of Islamic social ecology. The analysis process was carried out thoroughly to assess the validity of the hadith and understand its meaning and normative objectives. This approach integrates classical evaluation methods of hadith science with a contemporary ethical perspective, resulting in a comprehensive framework for formulating hadith-based environmental ethics. Research findings indicate that many authentic hadiths contain strong social ecological principles, such as the concept of caliphate (human leadership over the earth), mizan (balance), and distributive justice. These values emphasize the importance of human responsibility in preserving nature and creating harmony between humans and their environment. These hadiths also demonstrate the close relationship between the spiritual dimension and socio-ecological responsibility. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of hadith-based Islamic environmental jurisprudence. With a methodological and academic approach, this study enriches understanding of Islamic ecological ethics and opens up opportunities for integrating religious values into just and sustainable environmental management.

This study focuses on the development of student character, particularly in terms of discipline and responsibility, at SMPN 1 Ngunut, an outstanding school in Tulungagung Regency. Seventh-grade students are in a transitional phase from elementary to junior high school, making them vulnerable to the influences of their environment and the changing times. Based on observations, many students have not yet demonstrated disciplined behavior, such as arriving on time, completing tasks, cheating during exams, and not paying attention to teachers while learning. This study aims to identify effective Social Studies (IPS) teaching strategies for shaping students' character. The research focuses on (1) the role of teachers as demonstrators in developing disciplined and responsible character through IPS learning, (2) effective strategies employed by teachers to cultivate discipline and responsibility in students, and (3) potential solutions to improve the quality of IPS learning in instilling discipline and responsibility. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with a case study approach. The findings show that (1) IPS learning in the seventh grade at SMPN 1 Ngunut is effective in instilling discipline and responsibility, (2) Teachers use teaching activities to instill values such as punctuality and task completion, (3) Through methods like group work, individual assignments, and behavioral evaluations, students show positive changes, (4) The role of teachers as facilitators and role models is crucial, (5) Collaboration between teachers and the principal creates a school culture that supports character development, and (6) The impact of this process is reflected in increased student awareness of their responsibilities. These findings highlight that IPS not only fosters cognitive knowledge but also serves as a strategic medium for continuous moral and character development.

This study aims to investigate the role of Pancasila and Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as a foundation for cultivating a legal culture within Indonesian society through the lens of Islamic Sociological Jurisprudence Theory. The motivation for this research arises from the low levels of legal awareness and compliance, which reveal a gap between existing legal norms and the social behaviors of the populace. The research employs a qualitative method with both conceptual and sociological approaches, which examines the fusion of Pancasila values and Islamic teachings in fostering internal and collective legal awareness. The findings indicate that Pancasila, as the foundational state philosophy, holds normative values that align with the principles of Islamic teachings in PAI, particularly in promoting social ethics and legal responsibility. Within the framework of Islamic Sociological Jurisprudence Theory, law is perceived not only as normative rules but also as a sociocultural phenomenon shaped by religious values and traditions. This integration can lead to a deeper legal consciousness, thereby encouraging compliance with the law that stems not from coercion but from the moral and religious awareness of the community. Hence, the collaboration between Pancasila, PAI, and the sociological approach of Islam proves to be an effective strategy for establishing a lasting legal culture in Indonesia.
