Early childhood education (ECE) demands imaginative and inventive approaches to guarantee that children are actively involved and undergo significant learning in line with their developmental phases. The swift advancement of technology has made interactive video a valuable tool for enhancing ECE learning, especially when integrated with local cultural material. This research examines the use of the interactive video Wajanus (Warung Jajanan Nusantara) in Class B of Mutiara Hati Kindergarten Ponorogo, aimed at familiarizing children with Indonesian traditional snacks while also enhancing their cognitive, social, linguistic, and cultural values. A qualitative descriptive method was utilized, involving participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with parents and teachers, along with documentation via photos, videos, and field notes. Data analysis adhered to the model proposed by Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data presentation, and thematic conclusion formulation. The results indicate that utilizing Wajanus improved children's involvement in cognitive, emotional, and motor skills while promoting greater learning motivation. Children recognized numbers, shapes, and new vocabulary more efficiently, and they exhibited a positive attitude toward the local cultural heritage presented in the video. However, challenges were noted, including differing degrees of child involvement, the demand for extensive teacher assistance, and inadequate educational resources. In summary, interactive videos grounded in local culture like Wajanus are successful in enhancing early childhood education quality while also reinforcing children’s character education and cultural identity, and they possess significant potential for duplication in other ECE institutions throughout Indonesia

This research aims to provide a description of the communication phenomenon that occurs between students and parents, students and teachers, and students and the community environment. The research is motivated by the misconduct of students such as truancy, lying, and frequent prayer. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted by data collection, data reduction, presenting data in textual form, and verification leading to data conclusion. The results of the research show that: 1) The implementation of a good three center communication in education is crucial to maintaining the Qur'anic character of students, as various factors such as religious, socio-economic, and stakeholders' communication understanding influence students' character; 2) Students receive good guidance at school, moderately at home, and inadequately at the surrounding environment, thus the communication concept to foster Qur'anic character does not run optimally. This research provides important contributions in the field of fostering Qur'anic character, particularly in SMP Negeri 1 Camplong. The conclusion of this research is that the role of family and the environment greatly influences the process of fostering the Qur'anic character of students. The importance of this role is vital in conscious efforts to improve students' Qur'anic character.

This study analyzes the strengthening of bureaucratic ethics to realize quality public services in Indonesia using a descriptive narrative method by triangulating data from 40 speakers, policy documentation, and literature studies. The findings show that the implementation of bureaucratic ethics still faces a gap between formal norms and field practice, with an average community satisfaction index of 75.6. Five main factors influence effectiveness: transformational leadership, oversight and sanction systems, organizational culture, HR competencies, and technology support. The study proves a positive correlation between strengthening bureaucratic ethics and improving service quality, where units with high ethical implementation show a 15-20% higher satisfaction index. The main challenges include the resistance of the bureaucratic culture, weak reward and punishment, and lack of systematic capacity building. Strategies to strengthen ethics include: ethical leadership, reform of the reward and punishment system, digitization of services, sustainable capacity building, and strengthening supervision. The theoretical implications contribute to the integration of Weber's ethical concepts, New Public Service, and good governance in the Indonesian context. The practical implications provide a blueprint for bureaucratic reform through five comprehensive strategies that can be implemented in stages to achieve the 2025 world-class public service target.
