Growing up in the digital era, Generation Z has unique characteristics, but faces significant moral issues. The curriculum as an educational tool plays an important role in shaping the character values for this generation. The aim of this research is to analyze and compare the strengths of the 2013 curriculum with the strengths of the independent curriculum in the formation of morality in Generation Z. To achieve this goal, a descriptive qualitative approach to conduct literature research, including studies into political documents, educational theories, and scientific articles, was used. The analysis results show that the 2013 curriculum emphasizes moral values through a scientific approach and character education enhancement (PPK). Meanwhile, the independent curriculum is more flexible and project-based, while the Pancasila student profile promotes contextual learning. Both can shape students' morality, but collaboration among them may be better for education.

In the context of improving the quality of early childhood education, educational management plays a central role. Effective and efficient management is able to manage various existing resources optimally so as to create a conducive and quality learning environment. In addition, management is also responsible for designing learning programs that are in accordance with the needs of child development, supervising, evaluating, and providing training and professional development for educators. Thus, the role of management is not only administrative, but also strategic in improving the quality of early childhood education services. This research is a type of literature study. Library Research refers to a series of broad and systematic activities that are closely related to various sophisticated methodologies used in careful library data collection, comprehensive reading and accurate recording of relevant information, and complex processing of various research materials. Based on the results of the literature, the data collected shows that the role of management in improving the quality of early childhood education (PAUD) is very complex and multidimensional. The studies reviewed underline the importance of comprehensive planning, including the development of relevant curricula, the provision of adequate facilities and infrastructure, and the management of quality human resources. In addition, efficient organization, effective program implementation, and structured supervision have also been shown to contribute significantly to improving the quality of PAUD.

This study aims to determine the relationship between arm muscle strength and the ability to perform a throw-in in football among sixth-semester students of the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Study Program (PJKR) at Manado State University. The throw-in technique is one of the basic skills in football, used to return the ball into play with both hands from behind and over the head. An effective throw-in requires optimal arm muscle strength. This research employed a quantitative correlational approach, involving a sample of 20 randomly selected students. The instrument used to measure arm muscle strength was a one-minute push-up test, while throw-in ability was measured by the distance of the throw in meters. Hypothesis testing was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the analysis indicated a significant relationship between arm muscle strength and throw-in ability in football. These findings highlight the importance of arm strength training in developing fundamental football techniques, particularly the throw-in.

The obligation to seek knowledge holds a central position in Islamic law, grounded in strong normative and theological principles. Islam classifies the pursuit of knowledge as fardhu ‘ain (an individual duty) for essential religious and worldly knowledge, and fardhu kifayah (a collective duty) for broader societal needs. This article explores the legal foundations of this obligation in Islamic jurisprudence and examines its relevance in the context of contemporary education. Using a normative-juridical method, this study analyzes primary Islamic sources such as the Qur’an, Hadith, and the views of classical and modern scholars. The findings show that Islam does not treat knowledge merely as a tool for personal development, but as a moral and spiritual responsibility. In modern educational systems, these values remain highly relevant, particularly in addressing ethical decline and the loss of purpose in learning. This article recommends the integration of Islamic legal perspectives on knowledge into educational curricula to help restore the spiritual and moral aims

This study aims to examine the trends and applications of technology in educational research, which are rapidly evolving along with digital advances and the need for adaptive learning. Phenomena such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and online learning have changed the way research is conducted, both in terms of data collection and analysis. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this study analyzes various applications that support the effectiveness of educational research and the challenges faced in their use. The results show that trends such as the use of AI, big data, and mixed methods contribute significantly to the validity and efficiency of educational research. However, challenges such as low technological literacy, data security risks, and infrastructure limitations remain major obstacles. These findings are expected to be the basis for formulating data-based educational policies and developing more innovative research methods.

In completing this research, the author used a qualitative method with a library research approach. The results of the study indicate that there are values of monotheism contained in several hadiths in the Arba'in Nawawi Book, especially the 2nd hadith (about Islam, Faith, and Ihsan), the 3rd hadith (pillars of Islam), and the 21st hadith (consistency in faith).

Pancasila Education is a compulsory subject taught at every level of education, from elementary to higher education, with the aim of shaping students’ attitudes and behaviors based on the values of Pancasila in their daily lives. This study aims to describe the teacher's strategies in implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model to enhance students' critical thinking skills in the Pancasila Education subject for fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 5 Penatih. The research focuses on three main aspects: (1) the implementation of PBL by teachers in improving students’ critical thinking in the topic "Pancasila as the Foundation of My Country", (2) the supporting and inhibiting factors in applying the PBL model, and (3) the implications of PBL implementation on the learning process and outcomes. This study employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the teacher’s strategy in applying PBL involves three key stages: planning (designing contextual and relevant problems), implementation (the teacher acting as a facilitator during group discussions), and evaluation (assessing students’ thinking processes). Supporting factors for the successful application of PBL include teacher competence, student motivation, a conducive learning environment, and curriculum support. On the other hand, limited instructional time and low student participation present challenges that need to be addressed. The implications of PBL implementation include enhanced critical thinking skills, improved collaboration abilities, and the development of student character as reflective, open-minded, and responsible individuals. Learning becomes more engaging, meaningful, and interactive as students are actively involved in solving real-life problems related to their everyday experiences.

This research focuses on the implementation of conventional and digital learning media in Christian Religious Education and Character Education at SMP Negeri 8 Palangkaraya. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of these media in enhancing student understanding and engagement. A quantitative experimental design was employed, involving 106 seventh-grade students divided into groups using different media: educational snake and ladder games for conventional media and interactive PowerPoint presentations for digital media. Data were collected through observations and Likert-scale questionnaires. The findings indicate that both media effectively foster a lively learning atmosphere, with students showing high enthusiasm and participation. The conventional media was particularly beneficial for active learners, while digital media catered to visual learners. The implications suggest that varied media use can enhance teaching quality and accommodate diverse learning styles, making learning more engaging and meaningful.

Aborsi merupakan salah satu isu etis paling kompleks yang terus menjadi perdebatan dalam diskursus publik dan keagamaan, termasuk dalam konteks Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan membandingkan bagaimana prinsip-prinsip deontologi dan teleologi dalam etika Kristen membentuk pandangan terhadap praktik aborsi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif jenis studi pustaka normatif-deskriptif dengan analisis etika komparatif melalui kajian literatur teologi dan dokumen gereja.

Kedua pendekatan ini saling melengkapi, meski sering menciptakan ketegangan dalam menentukan sikap. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dalam memperkaya diskursus etika Kristen di Indonesia serta menawarkan kerangka analitis bagi pelayanan pastoral dan pendidikan teologi.

This study examines the concept of Islamic moral education according to Habib Umar Bin Hafidz and Habib Ali Al-Jufri, the methods of instilling moral values ​​that they use, and the relevance of their thoughts in the context of today's education. Moral education currently faces various complex challenges, such as weak role models, less applicable approaches, and the negative influence of technological advances and social media that trigger moral dilemmas among the younger generation.

This article explores the relationship between the theology of Christian Religious Education (CRE) and the Church in contributing to relevant, contextual, and transformative theological education. The Church, as a community of faith and spiritual institution, plays a strategic role in shaping theological understanding through teaching, discipleship, and ministry. Meanwhile, CRE within the formal education system is tasked with delivering Christian values through pedagogical and academic approaches. In an era shaped by secularism, pluralism, and technological advancement, both challenges and opportunities arise for CRE and the Church to collaborate meaningfully. Through literature review and theological analysis, this article identifies key challenges such as the gap between theory and practice, limited human resources, and the influence of popular culture that often contradicts Christian values. On the other hand, significant opportunities exist, including the use of digital technology, the strengthening of faith-based character education, and the implementation of contextual approaches to theological teaching. The article affirms the importance of a strategic partnership between the Church and CRE in developing theological education that not only informs the mind but also transforms lives through strong Christian character in everyday contexts.
