Tuanku Nan Renceh is an important figure in the history of Islam in Minangkabau who is known as a pioneer of the religious reform movement through the Padri Movement. Born into a strong matrilineal customary environment, he became a symbol of the radical transformation of Islamic thought in Indonesia in the 19th century. Starting from traditional education in the surau to being inspired by the Wahabi teachings brought by three pilgrims from Mecca, Tuanku Nan Renceh became the driving force behind the purification of Islam that rejected all forms of heresy, superstition, and customary practices that were considered contrary to Islamic law. His leadership was not only spiritual but also military in its resistance against customary groups and Dutch colonial power. His intellectual legacy influenced modern reformist movements such as Muhammadiyah and gave birth to local philosophies such as "Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah". Although his preaching method is considered controversial because it prioritizes violence and confrontation, Tuanku Nan Renceh's role remains significant in the dialectic of Islam and Minangkabau customs. Historical narratives, popular culture, and the collective memory of society immortalize his figure as a fighter, reformer, and symbol of the conflict between Islamic orthodoxy and local wisdom. This article will discuss again how Tuanku Nan Renceh's role in Spreading Influence played a major role in Minangkabau history, and invite readers to recognize, understand, and respond to the valuable legacy left behind.

The purpose of this research is to promote the active engagement of fourth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 4 Muaro Jambi in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning by using the discussion approach. The key issue addressed in this research is a low degree of student participation, as shown by their lack of bravery to ask and answer questions, as well as restricted contact throughout the learning process. This research adopts a Classroom Action Research (PTK) technique based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, with two cycles of preparation, action, observation, and reflection phases. The study included 27 pupils from Class IV A. Data collecting methods included observations, interviews, testing, and documentation. The study findings revealed a considerable increase in learning activities. In the first cycle, average student engagement varied between 52% and 56%, whereas in the second cycle, it jumped dramatically to 81% to 89%. This enhancement also had an influence on learning outcomes, as the class average score increased from 67 to 71, and the classical completion rate increased from 63% to 89%, surpassing the minimal criterion stipulated by the Learning Objective Completion Criteria (KKTP). As a result, it is possible to infer that using good conversation approaches improves student engagement and learning results in IPAS learning.

This study aims to identify and analyze the challenges faced by novice teachers in implementing a dual curriculum—which includes the national curriculum and Islamic curriculum—in Islamic Elementary Schools (SDI). The dual curriculum in SDI requires integration between mastery of general knowledge and instilling strong Islamic values. However, in practice, novice teachers experience various difficulties, ranging from limited understanding of the two types of curriculum, heavy administrative burdens, to social and cultural pressures of religious schools. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature studies, by analyzing relevant academic literature from journals, proceedings, and scientific books in the last ten years. The results of the analysis show that novice teachers experience challenges in pedagogical, structural, psychological, and cultural aspects. They often feel unprepared to develop integrative teaching materials, manage time effectively, and meet institutional and parental expectations. The lack of mentoring, training, and assistance programs also worsen the situation, causing work stress and the risk of burnout. This study concludes that the challenges faced by novice teachers in the context of the dual curriculum are systemic and require a structured and sustainable solution approach, such as strengthening integrated training, integrating curriculum management, and developing a professional development system that supports the pedagogical and spiritual development of novice teachers.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of giving specific praise in improving the learning focus of elementary school students. Learning focus is a crucial aspect in supporting students' academic success, especially at the elementary education level. This study uses a literature review method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained through searching and analyzing relevant literature, including scientific journals, books, and previous research results. The analysis technique used was thematic analysis to identify patterns and synthesize the main findings. The results of the study showed that specific praise delivered appropriately, directly, and relevant to students' positive behavior proved to be more effective than general praise in increasing students' attention, concentration, and learning participation. Specific praise is also related to increased self-confidence and learning motivation. However, its effectiveness is influenced by factors such as student characteristics, teacher consistency, and learning context. This study concludes that specific praise is a simple but powerful strategy that can be applied by teachers to create a more positive and focused learning environment. This study also provides implications for learning practices and teacher training in implementing positive reinforcement effectively.

This study aims to examine the implementation of the storytelling method as an effective strategy in character education in elementary schools. In the challenging era of globalization, students are not only required to be academically intelligent, but also to have strong characters and noble morals. The rapid flow of information and changes in social values ​​that occur require a learning approach that is able to build the moral foundation of students from an early age. The storytelling method is present as one solution because it is able to convey character values ​​in a fun, contextual, and touching way for children's emotions. This study uses a qualitative literature study approach, by reviewing various research results, scientific journals, articles, and books related to the application of the storytelling method in character learning. The results of the study show that stories can instill the values ​​of honesty, responsibility, empathy, tolerance, and cooperation more meaningfully. The active involvement of teachers as storytellers and learning facilitators has a major influence on building students' emotional involvement and creating a positive learning atmosphere. However, there are still challenges such as limited media, lack of teacher training, and limited time in class. Therefore, innovative strategies such as the use of audiovisual media, role-playing, and making stories with students are effective alternatives. In conclusion, the storytelling method is a potential approach to instilling character values ​​comprehensively and sustainably.
