Modern students face high academic, social, and personal pressures, but Christian Religious Education has not yet maximized the potential of religious-based resilience. This study aims to: (1) analyze how the biblical values of faith, hope, and love can strengthen the components of students' psychological resilience in the cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions; and (2) identify the integration mechanism between biblical teachings and psychological strategies in Christian Religious Education learning that can increase students' resilience in facing academic and personal stress. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach to various journals, articles, and related academic sources. The results of the study show that the biblical values of faith, hope, and love are fundamental pillars that strengthen students' psychological resilience as a whole. Faith provides a foundation of self-confidence and personal competence, hope activates optimism and sustained motivation, while love builds healthy social relationships and essential emotional support. These three values work synergistically to strengthen students' emotional regulation, problem analysis, empathy, and self-efficacy. The deep integration of biblical teachings and psychology in PAK learning through biblical narratives, secure parenting relationships, supportive communities, and reflective feedback has proven effective in holistically improving student resilience. In conclusion, PAK learning that explicitly integrates biblical values with psychological resilience strategies is a transformative instrument for shaping students into individuals who not only perform well academically but are also spiritually strong, psychologically resilient, and ready to face complex life situations in accordance with the principles of 1 Corinthians 13:13 regarding faith, hope, and love

This study aims to develop and evaluate an adaptive hybrid weather prediction model that combines pattern classification techniques with a deep learning approach to improve forecasting accuracy, especially for extreme weather events. Using a quantitative-based Research and Development (R&D) approach, this study utilizes ten years of daily rainfall time series data from the Juanda Meteorological Station. The method developed comprises three main phases: weather pattern classification using K-Means clustering to separate normal and extreme patterns; development of a specialist prediction model using SARIMA for seasonal patterns and LSTM for non-linear patterns; and integration of both models into a single adaptive framework. The results show that the adaptive hybrid model performs significantly better than the single model, with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 8.76% and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 9.13%. The main contribution of this study is the development of an intelligent, accurate prediction framework with strong potential for integration into the national early warning system, thereby supporting more effective disaster mitigation efforts in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to validate the model in various regions and add additional climate variables to improve prediction accuracy.

Strengthening 21st century character and skill education is an important demand in today's learning transformation. Game-Based Learning (GBL)-based approaches such as Ludo are believed to present a learning process that is meaningful, fun, while forming positive values. This study aims to review and compare the results of previous studies on the application of GBL in the development of character and skills in the 21st century, especially in Arabic language learning. The method used is a simple systematic literature review of 12 scientific articles published in 2015–2025 obtained from selected scientific databases. The analysis was conducted based on three main dimensions: the game medium, the focus of learning (characters, 4Cs, vocabulary), and the method approach. The results of the study show that GBL is generally effective in improving vocabulary mastery and fostering collaboration, communication, and character values of students. Ludo media in particular has proven to be relevant as a means of value-based learning and interaction. However, studies that explicitly integrate Ludo-based GBL in Arabic language learning are still limited. This research is expected to be a conceptual basis for the development of innovative learning media that is integrative and in accordance with the challenges of 21st century education.

. This research aims to analyze the values of Islamic education that are internalized in the aesthetics and spiritual dimension of Sufi dance, especially in the Sema ritual. In the Islamic view, art is not only an expression of beauty, but also a means of da'wah and a manifestation of love for Allah the Most Beautiful (Al-Jamīl). Using the descriptive qualitative literature study method, this study examines the symbolic and spiritual meanings contained in each element of Sema. The results of the analysis show that Sema is a dynamic form of dhikr that is firmly rooted in the Sufism tradition, oriented towards the purification of monotheism, and the process of purification of the soul (tazkiyatun nafs). Aesthetic elements such as hirkah, tennure, and sikke costumes have a deep symbolism about ego release (fana'), while the rotating movement symbolizes a spiritual journey (suluk) towards oneness with God. Pedagogically, Sufi Dance contains the essential values of Islamic education, such as spiritual calmness, love, patience, and sincerity, which can be used as a holistic learning model to form the awareness of monotheism and spirituality of modern humans. This research confirms that spiritual arts such as Sema have significant relevance in contemporary Islamic education as a medium for internalizing transcendental values.
