In the era of globalization, children are exposed to a social environment influenced by external factors such as social media, advertising, and a consumer culture, all of which can promote a materialistic lifestyle. Consequently, financial literacy education has become essential to equip children with the necessary skills to manage their finances effectively. Beginning with a simple understanding of accounting, children can learn fundamental concepts of money management, financial decision-making, and planning. However, many young children still lack access to this vital education. Various learning methods and media, including loose parts, storytelling, and interactive educational tools, can be utilized to foster financial understanding. Additionally, this education promotes important social concepts like sharing, charity, and the responsibility of managing finances to help others. It integrates Islamic principles, emphasizing values such as honesty, justice, transparency, and the avoidance of usury. Through these principles, children are not only taught how to manage their personal finances but also how to contribute to society. By implementing financial literacy education at an early age, we can help children grow into informed, ethical, and responsible leaders in the future. This education is crucial for ensuring they make sound financial choices and contribute positively to their communities.

The purpose of this research is to examine how guidance and counseling instructors may help children in junior high get over their anxiety about speaking out in class. Students' lack of confidence and engagement in class might be exacerbated by the widespread problem of their fear of asking questions.

The study used a qualitative approach with a literature review method through the collection and analysis of various relevant literature sources. The results of the study indicate that group guidance is effective in providing positive social experiences for students, such as feeling accepted, appreciated, and being able to develop social and emotional skills, including empathy, cooperation, and self-confidence. Through group dynamics, students can interact, share experiences, and build better relationships with peers. The implications of this study indicate that group guidance needs to be implemented optimally and continuously as a strategic effort to support the fulfillment of the needs for affection and belonging and improve the psychological well-being of students in the school environment.

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, including in Aceh Besar District. The success of hypertension control is strongly influenced by patients’ self-management abilities. Self-management can be affected by psychological factors such as self-efficacy, social factors such as family support, and sociodemographic factors. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy, family support, education, and occupation with self-management among hypertensive patients in the working area of the Ingin Jaya Community Health Center, Aceh Besar District. This study employed a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of hypertensive patients aged 15–59 years who visited or participated in the Posbindu program at the Ingin Jaya Health Center. A total of 90 respondents were selected using accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had good self-management (54.4%). Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between self-efficacy (p = 0.030) and family support (p = 0.000) with self-management, while education (p = 0.406) and occupation (p = 0.201) showed no significant relationship. This study concludes that self-efficacy and family support play an important role in hypertension self-management, whereas education and occupation are not significantly associated. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of nursing and public health science and serve as a basis for strengthening family-based health education and improving patients’ self-efficacy in optimizing independent hypertension management.

Of all, the speech act "stating" emerged as the most dominant type. The research conclusion confirms that representative speech acts have an important role in strengthening the validity of knowledge, supporting message clarity, and building a communicative, reflective, and meaningful learning atmosphere for the audience, thus making a real contribution to the effectiveness of educational communication in digital media.

Academic procrastination is the behavior of deliberately delaying the completion of tasks even though individuals are aware of the negative consequences for their learning outcomes. This phenomenon is commonly found among students at various educational levels, ranging from secondary school to higher education, and often results in decreased academic achievement, lower quality of completed assignments, and increased levels of academic stress among students. This condition indicates that academic procrastination has become an important issue that requires attention within the educational process. This study aims to examine self-regulation as an indicator for the early detection of academic procrastination in the context of guidance and counseling services in educational settings. The method used in this study is a literature review by analyzing various scientific journal articles relevant to the research topic. The results of the review show a consistent negative relationship between self-regulation and academic procrastination. Students who possess a high level of self-regulation tend to be more capable of managing their time, emotions, and learning motivation effectively, enabling them to be more disciplined in completing academic tasks. Conversely, low levels of self-regulation contribute to an increased tendency to delay academic tasks. These findings confirm that self-regulation can serve as a strategic indicator for early detection as well as a target for preventive interventions through guidance and counseling services in schools.

This research try to examine how investment choices in property and real estate sector businesses listed on IDX (2020-2024) are impacted by the cost of debt and equity.For the accuracy of the analysis, this study also uses firm size and profitability as controler. Purposive sampling was used in the sampling process, which produced seven qualifying organizations with a total of 35 observations over a five-year period. Panel data regression was used for data analysis, and the Common Effect Model was shown to be the best estimation model. The findings show that investment decisions are significantly influenced by firm size, profitability, cost of debt, and cost of equity all at the same time. Nonetheless, investment choices are not much impacted by the cost of debt. Similarly, it has been demonstrated that the cost of equity has no appreciable effect on the capital expenditures of the businesses. Firm size has a favorable and substantial impact, making it the main motivator for investment activity in the real estate industry. During the study period, investment decisions were not significantly impacted by profitability. These results show that, especially in the post-pandemic economic recovery era, asset capacity and economies of scale are more important for the viability of real investment projects for property firms on the IDX than yearly variations in capital costs.

This article explores the meaning of human life through the lens of value, choice, and ultimate purpose. Drawing from the analogy of nature, the study argues that human existence is likewise structured around meaning rather than randomness. Human beings inevitably encounter diverse and sometimes conflicting values, requiring discernment and responsible decision-making. Not all values carry equal weight; their significance depends on their proximity to the ultimate goal of human life understood in its totality. The paper identifies three fundamental attitudes toward life: a pessimistic stance that perceives life as failure, a hedonistic stance that seeks satisfaction and pleasure, and a constructive stance that embraces life as a meaningful vocation. Through a reflective-ethical approach, the discussion highlights the importance of mission, prioritization, empathetic communication, synergy, and continual self-renewal. Ultimately, the quality of human existence is determined by the values one chooses to uphold and the orientation of life toward a higher, integrative purpose.

Microteaching is an innovative educator training method aimed at developing basic teaching skills and fostering student self-efficacy through a micro-scale approach. This study describes how teaching simulations with limited duration, audience size, and material focus can facilitate the transformation of pre-service teachers' pedagogical competence. Using a qualitative approach, the research found that microteaching functions as a "safe laboratory" for students to explore teaching creativity without the risk of systemic failure. The skill development process includes mastering stimulus variation techniques through the use of visual and audiovisual media, such as PowerPoint and instructional videos, as well as strengthening instructional communication styles. Furthermore, students' self-efficacy increases significantly through a cycle of constructive feedback from peers and supervisors, enabling reflection-on-action. The results conclude that the re-plan and re-teach mechanisms are crucial in shaping professional and permanent teaching behaviors before students enter actual classroom environments. These findings highlight the importance of microteaching in developing both the technical and reflective skills necessary for effective teaching practice.

One of the issues raised is about social changes in society, namely how a person must respond to these changes in order to be able to carry them out according to the teachings of the Qur'an. As part of a complex community of ever-changing and dynamic social individuals, society is not something fixed or stagnant. This is due to the fact that people experience various social relationships through social processes that occur due to living together. Interaction between individuals, cultural developments, and the dynamics of social values and norms also affect the way people view their daily lives. In this context, the Qur'an provides moral and ethical guidelines that can be the foundation for building harmonious and just social relationships. Values such as care, justice, social responsibility, and respect for fellow human beings are important principles emphasized in the teachings of the Qur'an. Therefore, social education based on the values of the Qur'an has an important role in shaping individual character to be able to adapt to social changes without abandoning moral and humanitarian principles. Given the importance of this issue related to social education, the author argues that research on social education will delve into this topic with a focus on social education based on the Qur'an.

The history of the growth and development of schools of thought is an important part of comparative fiqh studies because it describes the dynamics of Islamic legal thought from the time of the companions to the period of codification of schools of thought. This study is motivated by the importance of understanding the historical process of the birth of schools of fiqh as an effort to place differences of opinion in a proportional and scientific manner. This study aims to analyze the growth and development of schools of thought in Islamic law and the factors that influence them. The method used is library research by examining various classical and contemporary literature relevant to the study theme. The results of the study show that major schools of thought such as Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali developed through a process of ijtihad influenced by social, cultural, political conditions, and differences in the methodology of istinbāṭ law. This development does not indicate division, but rather enriches the treasury of Islamic law and provides flexibility in responding to the issues of the ummah in various contexts. The implication of this study is the importance of historical understanding in comparative fiqh studies in order to build a tolerant attitude towards ikhtilaf and strengthen the relevance of Islamic law in facing the dynamics of modern society.
