This study comprehensively investigated the gap in English tense mastery among non-English students. Data were collected using a qualitative case study methodology from seven purposively selected informants through in-depth interviews and direct observation. Key findings reveal persistent challenges, including significant anxiety around using complex tenses, the widespread influence of mother tongue interference (given the absence of explicit tense conjugations in Indonesian), and the limited effectiveness of traditional non-contextual grammar teaching. The observations also highlight a critical gap: although students use digital devices extensively, their engagement with English content is minimal, directly contributing to lower writing and speaking practice assessment scores. Instead, the unexpected finding was the student's remarkable ability to internalize the 16th pattern of the English tenses through memorization in just thirty minutes. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovative, contextual, and confidence-building pedagogical strategies to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application, enhancing language acquisition and professional communication skills.

The hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), "Whoever lies about me intentionally, let him take his place in Hell" (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim), is a stern warning to maintain honesty, especially for educators. This study aims to examine this hadith in relation to a teacher's competence. Hadith, as a source of Islamic teachings after the Qur'an, serves as a guideline in various aspects of life, including education. Teachers as educators are required to convey knowledge correctly, without reducing or misleading the teachings. This study uses a library research approach and content analysis techniques to examine the meaning and relevance of the hadith. The results of the study indicate that this hadith has a close relationship with four teacher competencies, namely pedagogical, professional, personality, and social. This hadith emphasizes the importance of integrity, honesty, and responsibility in carrying out a teacher's duties, while also making him a role model for students.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a highly strategic role in economic development in Indonesia. According to data from the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, MSMEs contribute more than 60% to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employ nearly 97% of the total workforce. MSMEs also serve as the backbone of the national economy, particularly in creating new jobs and driving the economy in rural areas. Amidst the challenges of globalization and technological development, MSMEs are required to continuously adapt to compete in both domestic and international markets. With this program, it is hoped that MSMEs in Lewomada Village will not only be able to survive the competition but also thrive and become a driving force for the village economy. Furthermore, this program is also expected to encourage Lewomada Village to become a successful example of digital-based MSME development in rural areas. The goal of this activity is to equip participants from each MSME group with knowledge and expertise in marketing management and to provide them with the skills and knowledge to carry out their role as business actors professionally through digital marketing development strategies. MSMEs in Lewomada Village have significant potential for growth through digital marketing. Increased knowledge of social media, marketplaces, and digital marketing strategies provides new opportunities to reach a wider market and increase revenue. However, successful digital marketing implementation still faces challenges such as limited internet infrastructure, technical capabilities, and consistency in implementing digital marketing strategies. With proper management and ongoing support, MSMEs in Lewomada Village can develop and become more competitive in the digital era

Competence means the ability needed to do or carry out work based on knowledge, skills and attitudes. Social competence is one of the five competencies that must be possessed by a Christian Religious Education Teacher. A teacher's social competence is seen from his ability to communicate and interact with students, fellow educators, parents and the community. The importance of social competence for a professional Christian Religious Education Teacher is to build positive relationships with students, create collaboration with fellow educators, build communication with parents as well as with the surrounding community and the whole form of the relationship is as an effort from an educator in understanding others.  Creating and maintaining good social relationships means that it contains care and empathy as taught by Jesus as Great Master so that everyone not only pays attention to their own interests but also the interests of others including the interests of students.

This study aims to identify challenges and formulate strategies for the implementation of professional competencies of Christian Religious Education (PAK) teachers based on artificial intelligence (AI) at the primary school level, with a focus on SD Negeri 071162 Esiwa. The background of this study begins with the increasing demands of the digital curriculum, while PAK teachers still face limitations in technological literacy, digital infrastructure, and the availability of contextualized Christian faith-based learning media. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of one principal and ten students in grades IV-VI. The results showed that low mastery of technology by teachers, limited digital devices, and lack of institutional support are the main obstacles in the integration of AI in PAK learning. However, AI has great potential to enhance students' learning experience spiritually and digitally through interactive, visual, and narrative Bible-based approaches. This research recommends spiritual technology-based teacher training, strengthening school infrastructure, developing contextualized teaching materials based on local culture, and collaboration between schools, churches, and Christian app developers. The findings contribute to the development of an adaptive, contextual, and transpersonal PAK learning model.

This study addresses the development of Uno card-based learning media to support vocabulary acquisition among eighth-grade students. It focuses on two main issues: the effectiveness of the media in enhancing vocabulary comprehension and the challenges encountered during its development, particularly in relation to learning motivation. The primary goal is to evaluate the extent to which this media aids vocabulary learning and to identify any obstacles in the development process. The research follows the ADDIE model—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. To ensure the validity of the learning media, expert validation was conducted by media, content, and educational professionals. Additionally, student questionnaires were distributed to assess the media’s effectiveness. The validation results showed that the content expert gave a score of 83%, the media expert 81%, and student responses reached 88%, indicating strong acceptance and usability. The effectiveness of the media was further supported by the pre-test and post-test results, with a Normalized Gain score of 61.01%, categorized as "effective." These findings suggest that Uno card-based media is both a valid and effective tool for vocabulary instruction in Arabic language learning at the junior high school level.

This study explores the implementation of Lesson Study within the teaching practicum (PPL) program to enhance student engagement, learning outcomes, and the teaching competencies of pre-service teachers. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, the research was conducted in three cycles involving second-grade students at UPT SD Negeri Latsari. Each cycle consisted of the Lesson Study stages: planning, execution, and reflection. The findings indicate significant improvements in all targeted areas. Student engagement showed a steady increase, starting from 63% in Cycle 1 and reaching 91% in Cycle 3, supported by interactive strategies such as group worksheets, flipbook media, and the Team Games Tournament (TGT) model. Correspondingly, learning outcomes improved, with average test scores rising from 68.2 in Cycle 1 to 83.7 in Cycle 3. Furthermore, pre-service teachers demonstrated notable development in key teaching competencies, particularly in lesson planning, classroom management, and reflective practices. Overall, the study underscores the effectiveness of Lesson Study in promoting collaborative teaching practices, improving the quality of instruction, and fostering professional growth among pre-service teachers. The integration of innovative and interactive learning strategies within the Lesson Study framework contributed significantly to creating a more engaging and impactful learning environment for students.

The competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia often faces obstacles due to limited product packaging that fails to adequately reflect product quality, uniqueness, and brand identity. Packaging is not merely a protective container but also a strategic communication tool that influences consumer perceptions, shapes brand image, and supports market expansion. This community service program was carried out at the Banana Chips MSME “Bu Tini” in Semarang, which previously relied on simple plastic packaging without graphic design, brand logo, or product information. The main objective of this program was to assist the MSME in developing both the design and functional aspects of packaging as a strategic effort to strengthen branding, enhance product value, and improve competitiveness. The methodology applied was community-based and participatory, consisting of field observation, focus group discussions, collaborative design with the business owner, and prototype testing of new packaging. The results demonstrate that the redesigned packaging highlights a stronger visual identity through logos, colors, and slogans, while also ensuring practicality, durability, and compliance with food safety standards. Furthermore, the new packaging improved information clarity regarding composition, expiration date, and producer details, which significantly increased consumer trust in hygiene and quality. From a broader perspective, the activity fostered social transformation by raising awareness among the owner and workers about the importance of branding and professional packaging, developing new skills, and positioning the MSME as a role model for similar businesses in the community. This program implies that packaging development is not solely a visual improvement but a strategic branding instrument that can support MSMEs in achieving sustainability and greater competitiveness in local, regional, and potentially digital markets.

This study aims to analyze the violation of professional accounting ethics in the case of PT Hanson International Tbk (MYRX), a public company involved in financial statement manipulation and bond default. The research adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method, based on secondary data from financial reports, media coverage, and official documents from financial authorities. The findings indicate serious breaches of ethical principles in the accounting profession, including integrity, objectivity, and professional competence. These violations had significant impacts on investor trust, capital market stability, and the reputation of the accounting profession. Moreover, the case highlights the urgent need for stronger supervision, reforms in financial reporting practices, and the integration of ethical values in accounting activities. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the importance of ethics in maintaining transparency and accountability in financial reporting.

This study aims to explore the role of metacognitive awareness in improving the speaking performance of hospitality vocational students. Using a mixed-methods design, this study involved 50 students of the Prasetiya Mandiri Polytechnic and combined quantitative data from the adapted Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) as well as role-play-based speaking tests, with qualitative data from in-depth interviews. The results of correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship (r = 0.65) between metacognitive scores and speaking performance. The most dominant metacognitive strategies reported by students included self-monitoring during speaking and post-task reflection. These findings reveal that students with high metacognitive awareness tend to be able to manage their communication more effectively in professional situations. Research implications include the importance of integrating metacognitive training in vocational curricula, such as through reflective journals and communication strategy guides. The study also highlights a curriculum gap, where only 32% of respondents reported having received explicit training related to metacognitive strategies. Limitations include small sample sizes, so it is recommended that follow-up studies be conducted longitudinally and across institutions.    

Advocates are one of the main pillars in the justice system that have a strategic role as law enforcers, human rights defenders, and guardians of justice. However, amidst high public expectations for the integrity and professionalism of advocates, various serious challenges have emerged, one of which is the practice of corruption that can damage the dignity of this profession. This article aims to examine the position of advocates as enforcers of justice from the perspective of professional ethics and the potential for involvement in corruption. Using a normative legal approach, this article analyzes the legal basis and code of ethics of advocates, as well as real case studies as an empirical illustration.      

Based on various studies and studies, the LGBT phenomenon in Indonesia, especially in the Pekanbaru area, is still often viewed negatively because it is considered contrary to local social and cultural norms. Several factors that influence the emergence of LGBT sexual orientation include childhood experiences, the influence of the social environment, and conditions within the family. Psychological interventions such as group counseling with the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) approach combined with religious values, such as in Islamic counseling, have proven effective in reducing inner conflict, increasing the ability to manage emotions, and encouraging acceptance and self-confidence of LGBT individuals. This approach also helps replace irrational thought patterns and strengthens emotional resilience, although cultural and social challenges are still major obstacles. On the other hand, the importance of multicultural competence for professionals is also highly emphasized in dealing with issues related to LGBT and their emotional health. Education about sexuality and increasing public understanding of diversity are considered important to reduce stigma and discrimination against the LGBT community. Overall, the results of this study indicate the need for an appropriate psychological approach and educational efforts to create social acceptance and improve the welfare of LGBT individuals.    

This research is motivated by the performance of the Padang City Inspectorate auditors which is still not optimal in implementing good governance. This is indicated by the cases of violations that have occurred, including corruption. One example is the corruption of the KONI Padang City Grant Fund with the source of the Padang City APBD Fund from 2018 to 2020, which resulted in financial losses for the State and Region of 3,117,003,327,- (BPKP Representative Office of West Sumatra Province, 2022). The purpose of this study is the effect of auditor independence, professional ethics, and organizational commitment on the performance of Government Auditors at the Padang City Inspectorate. This study uses a quantitative method. Data were collected using a questionnaire technique, the respondents of this study were 52 auditors. Four hypotheses were formulated and tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that auditor independence has a significant positive effect on auditor performance, professional ethics has a significant positive effect on auditor performance, and organizational commitment has a significant positive effect on auditor performance. Meanwhile, simultaneously auditor independence, professional ethics, and organizational commitment have a significant positive effect on the performance of Government Auditors at the Padang City Inspectorate. Thus, it can be concluded that the four variables are very important to support the performance of the Padang City Inspectorate auditors    

Currently, public trust in the Indonesian National Army (TNI) is decreasing, especially due to issues of accountability, integrity, and meritocracy. In this uncertain situation, the socialization of the TNI Law is a strategic step to improve the image of the TNI in the eyes of the public. Changes to the TNI Law are expected to bring great benefits, especially in increasing transparency, accountability, and the implementation of a meritocratic system in the TNI structure. However, the public wants to ensure that these changes are truly far from the practice of injustice and personal interests within the TNI. This study aims to see how effective the socialization of the TNI Law is in overcoming the crisis of public trust. In addition, this study also produces various views on the implementation of the TNI Law and assesses how the socialization of the Law can affect public perceptions of professionalism and trust in the TNI. The results of a simple linear regression test show that the socialization of the TNI Law has a significant effect on the level of public trust, with a sig value (0.001). The R Square value of 0.301 indicates that the socialization of the TNI Bill is able to explain 30.1% of the variability in public trust, while the rest is influenced by other factors outside the model. Thus, socialization that is carried out openly, participatively, and accountably is an important step in bridging the current crisis of trust. The findings of this study provide critical insights and are expected to be implemented effectively to improve public trust in the TNI institution in the future.
