Learning evaluation is an essential component of the Islamic education system as it serves to assess the achievement of learning objectives and measure students’ development. This study aims to examine the concept of learning evaluation according to the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad Shallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam and its relevance in modern educational contexts. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature study method, using sources from hadith collections, Islamic education books, and scientific journals. The findings reveal that the Prophet’s hadith provides a strong foundation for the implementation of learning evaluation based on three main domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Furthermore, the hadith emphasizes sincerity, justice, and exemplary behavior as essential principles in the evaluation process. The implementation of these values in modern education requires teachers to assess not only academic performance but also students’ moral and spiritual aspects. Thus, learning evaluation based on hadith serves as guidance for achieving a balanced education between knowledge, morality, and skills.

This study explores the role of Christian religious education teachers in shaping students’ character within the school setting. Employing a literature review method, the research analyzes secondary sources that discuss character formation theories grounded in Biblical principles and Christian education approaches. Key values examined include love, honesty, responsibility, forgiveness, and compassion, which are integrated into the learning process. The findings reveal that Christian religious education teachers hold a crucial position as educators, mentors, and role models, responsible for guiding students in internalizing these values. Character development is fostered not only through formal lessons but also through teachers’ personal example, the incorporation of Biblical teachings into classroom activities, and the encouragement of practical faith expressions in daily life. This holistic approach ensures that students not only understand Christian moral principles cognitively but also embody them in behavior and interactions with others. The study emphasizes that effective character formation relies on consistent modeling of values by teachers, meaningful integration of religious teachings into pedagogy, and opportunities for students to practice faith-based actions, thereby strengthening both moral awareness and ethical conduct.

The implementation of environmental management is an important aspect in shaping ecological behavior within educational settings. Law No. 32 of 2009 emphasizes the responsibility of individuals and institutions to preserve the environment, in line with the principles of Fiqh Al-Bi’ah in Islam. Al-Fajr Dormitory of Ma’had Al-Zaytun serves as an example of this application through the daily activities of its students. This study aims to describe the implementation of environmental management at Al-Fajr Dormitory based on Articles 67–68 of Law No. 32 of 2009 and the Fiqh Al-Bi’ah perspective. Using a descriptive qualitative method through observation, interviews, and documentation, data were obtained from dormitory administrators, students, and relevant literature. The results show that environmental management is carried out through routine activities such as cleaning duties, waste management, facility maintenance, and the prudent use of resources. From the perspective of Fiqh Al-Bi’ah, these practices reflect the values of stewardship (khalifah), trust (amanah), and balance (mīzān). The synergy between state regulations and Islamic principles fosters disciplined, responsible students with strong ecological awareness as part of sustainable environmental development.

Student discipline is one of the key indicators of a school’s success in shaping character and creating a conducive learning environment. Discipline not only reflects compliance with school regulations but also demonstrates responsibility, honesty, orderliness, and self-control as part of character building. However, in practice, various disciplinary violations are still frequently found among students, such as lateness, failure to complete assignments, truancy, and noncompliance with school dress codes. These issues are also evident at SMA Kristen Palangka Raya, particularly among Grade XI students. Therefore, the role of the school principal as an educational leader is essential in implementing effective strategies to improve student discipline. This study aims to describe the role of the principal in enhancing student discipline among Grade XI students at SMA Kristen Palangka Raya. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The participants included the principal, vice principal for student affairs, teachers, and students. The findings revealed that the principal performs several roles: (1) educator, by integrating discipline values through learning activities and character-building programs; (2) manager, by organizing, planning, and implementing school regulations; (3) supervisor, by monitoring and evaluating student discipline; (4) leader, by providing direction and exemplary behavior; and (5) motivator, by giving appreciation and educational sanctions. Challenges encountered include students’ low awareness of discipline and lack of parental involvement. To overcome these obstacles, the principal builds stronger communication with parents, enforces school rules consistently, and conducts continuous character development programs.

Bullying is an aggressive act that is often repeated and directed at individuals in a weaker position, causing detrimental effects on psychological aspects, particularly children's self-esteem. When children's self-esteem is low, they tend to consider themselves worthless and choose to avoid social interaction. This study aims to analyze the correlation between Bullying behavior and self-esteem levels among elementary school students. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. All 97 students in grades IV, V, and VI at SD Negeri 11 Banda Aceh were used as research subjects through total sampling. The questionnaire used included indicators of Bullying behavior and self-esteem levels. Based on the data obtained, of the 54 students identified as experiencing high levels of Bullying behavior, 44 children or 45.4% showed low self-esteem. On the other hand, of the 43 students who were exposed to low levels of Bullying, 35 of them, or about 36.1%, had high self-esteem. The chi-square test in this study produced a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant relationship between Bullying patterns and self-esteem levels in children. Thus, it can be concluded that an increase in Bullying experiences in the school environment has an impact on the decline in students' self-esteem.

This study aims to analyze in depth the cultural construction of independence in Islamic boarding schools through the perspective of educational sociology. The main focus of this study is to explore how social structures, power relations between kyai and santri, and hidden curriculum mechanisms contribute significantly to the formation of santri's independent character. This research is motivated by the discrepancy between national educational goals and the reality of the crisis of independence often found in formal educational institutions. Using descriptive qualitative methods through a literature study and critical synthesis approach, this study examines the phenomenon of independence as a sociological product. The results of the study show that the independence of santri is not merely obedience to formal rules, but rather the result of the formation of internalized habitus through strict daily discipline and the accumulation of cultural capital transmitted by the figure of the kyai. These findings confirm that the charismatic relationship between kyai and santri serves as the main channel for transmitting the values of initiative and responsibility. Furthermore, the hidden curriculum manifested in the daily exemplary behavior of the kyai has proven to be more effective in shaping the autonomy of santri than conventional classroom instruction. The implications of this study confirm that the educational ecosystem model in Islamic boarding schools can serve as a strategic reference for modern educational institutions in overcoming the challenges of character degradation and independence among students in the contemporary era.

Teachers as educators are required to have appropriate strategies to ensure that technological progress can be utilized positively in character building. This study aims to identify and evaluate teachers' pedagogical strategies implemented in shaping students' character integrity in the context of the digital era. The method used was a literature study by examining theories, journals, books, and relevant research on teacher strategies and character education applicable in the digital era context. The results indicate that effective strategies include integrating character education in digital learning, teacher role modeling in technology use, habituation of ethical behavior in cyberspace, and collaboration with parents in monitoring students' digital activities. The role playing strategy proves effective as a learning method that can help students face various digital situations wisely and responsibly. Teachers have a central role in guiding students to be able to use technology wisely and with character, not only focusing on academic achievement but also on character development that is relevant to 21st-century needs.

Background: A balanced diet is essential for maintaining health and nutritional status, commonly assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI). Dietary habits are influenced not only by physiological needs but also by psychological factors such as Body Image perception. Unrealistic perceptions of one’s body can lead to unhealthy eating behaviors and negatively impact nutritional status. Patisserie students, who are frequently exposed to high-calorie foods, may be particularly vulnerable to such challenges. Objective:  This study aims to examine the influence of Body Image perception on dietary patterns and BMI among patisserie students at the Medan Tourism Polytechnic. Methods: This study is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach to 60 students of Medan Tourism Polytechnic. Body Image and eating pattern data were collected using a questionnaire, while BMI was obtained by measuring the weight and height of the subjects. Result: The data obtained were analyzed using the Chi-square Test. Based on the results of the analysis, a relationship was found between Body Image and eating patterns with a value of p = 0.006 (P < 0.05). However, there was no relationship between Body Image and BMI with a value of p = 0.391 (P> 0.05). Consclusion: There is a relationship between Body Image and eating patterns but there is no relationship between Body Image and BMI.

This study investigates the influence of TikTok usage on the changes in interpersonal communication styles among university students in Indonesia. The rapid development of digital communication platforms, especially TikTok, has reshaped the way young people interact, express themselves, identify changes in their interpersonal communication styles, and analyze the effect of TikTok usage on those changes. Using a quantitative survey method with 100 active university students as respondents, data were collected through an online questionnaire. The results indicate that students’ TikTok usage is categorized as high, particularly in terms of frequency, duration, and engagement intensity. Findings also show a significant shift in communication styles, especially in language choice, expressive patterns, and interaction modes. Simple linear regression analysis confirms that TikTok usage has a strong and significant influence on changes in interpersonal communication styles (p < 0,001; R² = 0,944). These results demonstrate that TikTok not only serves as an entertainment platform but also plays a substantial role in shaping students’ communication behavior. The study highlights important implications for understanding digital communication trends among young adults in Indonesia.   

This study aims to describe the characteristics of SMK Al-Azami students in emulating the morals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as part of character development based on Islamic values within vocational education. The background of this research lies in the urgency of character education that not only emphasizes academic competence and technical skills but also focuses on moral formation and professional ethics. This research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method by analyzing relevant classical and modern Islamic literature, supported by documentation of school activities. The results reveal that the moral values of the Prophet Muhammad have been well internalized in students’ daily behavior, which includes four core dimensions: Shidq (honesty), Amanah (trustworthiness), Istiqamah (discipline), and Rahmah (compassion). The value of Shidq is reflected in students’ honesty during vocational practice and in reporting work results; Amanah is demonstrated through responsibility for tools and group tasks; Istiqamah appears in punctuality, consistency, and work discipline; and Rahmah is shown through respectful, empathetic, and cooperative social interactions. The findings indicate that Islamic character education effectively shapes students with integrity, discipline, and social awareness, serving as a model for moral development in vocational schools. Furthermore, this research highlights the importance of strengthening teacher exemplarity, religious habituation, and curriculum integration of Islamic moral values in vocational learning to ensure sustainable character development.

Islamic education learning models in campus environments often face challenges in integrating critical thinking with religious character building. Dogmatic and lecturer-centered learning makes students less involved in discovering contextual religious meaning. This study aims to explore the development of an Islamic value-based Guided Inquiry learning model in Islamic education courses. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with an adaptation of the Thiagarajan, Semmel & Semmel model using the 4D approach (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), as well as a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed methods) through tests, questionnaires, observations, interviews, and reflective journals. Quantitative analysis used a mean difference test. The results showed that the developed model consisted of eight phases, namely Open, Immerse, Explore, Identify, Gather, Create, Share, and Evaluate, which were integrated with Islamic values, such as faith, honesty, responsibility, and tolerance. Expert validation showed high feasibility, namely 93.33%. The implementation in the student classroom showed the feasibility of the model syntax with an average observation score of 87.4%, with the Open and Share phases being the most consistent. Empirically, the developed model was effectively implemented in PAI learning with an increase in the average score in meeting I from 58.24 to 73.23, in meeting II from 66.17 to 84.5, and in meeting III, the average score increased from 55.34 to 81.78. The developed model had a very strong impact on shaping student behavior, as shown by the questionnaire results with a score of 93.48%. Supporting factors included the learning environment (with an influence score of 4.55), lecturers and teaching methods (influence score of 4.78), students (influence score of 4.19), and curriculum and material factors (score of 4.37). This means that these factors were identified as factors influencing the development of the learning model.

Relational bullying is a form of bullying that often occurs in the school environment and has a significant impact on the psychological and academic aspects of students. This research aims to analyze the influence of relational bullying on students’ interest in learning at various levels of education. The research method used is literature review by reviewing 11 relevant national journals indexed by Google Scoler, DOAJ and Sinta, which were published between 2018 and 2024. The results of the study show that relational bullying generally appears in the form of exclusion, spreading gossip, manipulation of social relationships, indirect mockery, and seniority behavior. The impacts caused include a decrease in academic confidence, increased anxiety and depression, loss of study concentration, and low student motivation and participation in class. This condition implies a decrease in learning achievement and student involvement in school activities. Based on the findings, it is concluded that relational bullying has a significant negative effect on students’ interest in learning. Therefore, prevention efforts are needed through the establishment of a positive school climate, strengthening the value of empathy, and the provision of sustainable counseling services to create a safe learning environment and support the development of students.

The development of digital technology has changed global business patterns, including in Indonesia, through the growth of e-commerce, social media, and online platforms. This change opens up great opportunities for students as the educated young generation to develop online businesses. This research aims to explore students' online business readiness from a digital mindset perspective through a phenomenological study approach among students in Malang. The research focuses on online business readiness, digital mindset, attitudes towards technology, and the contribution of entrepreneurship learning, which are analyzed using the Theory of Planned Behavior framework(Ajzen, 1991) and Entrepreneurial Mindset Theory. The research used qualitative methods with in-depth interviews with online business students. The results show that students have a basic understanding of digital business, especially in utilizing social media and marketplaces. A positive attitude towards technology has been formed, indicated by perceived benefits and ease of use. However, a gap emerges between technical skills and long-term strategic planning capabilities. Innovation and problem-solving tend to be reactive, simply following trends, while psychological resistance such as fear of fraud and data security remain barriers. This research confirms that online business readiness is not only determined by technical skills, but also by the strengthening of an adaptive, innovative digital mindset. This research confirms that online business readiness is not only determined by technical skills, but also by strengthening an adaptive, innovative, and resilient digital mindset.The novelty of this research is the integration of TPB and Entrepreneurial Mindset Theory to understand students' readiness to face digital business challenges.

The main problem faced by MA Al Ulya Al Mubarok is the low level of financial literacy and the lack of understanding of the importance of early investment. Most students still perceive saving as the only form of financial management without recognizing the potential for asset growth through safe and well-planned investments. The absence of practical education on personal financial management and limited access to learning resources about investment are the main barriers to developing intelligent and future-oriented financial behavior. As a solution, this community service program is designed to improve financial literacy and foster investment intention among students. The program will be implemented through several stages of activities, including: needs and baseline analysis of students, development of a contextual-based financial literacy module, interactive socialization and training on the basic concepts of saving, personal financial management, and introduction to investment. The expected outcomes of this program include: an increase in students’ financial literacy level by at least 30% based on pre-test and post-test results, the initiation of a student investment awareness community, and the creation of a financial literacy learning module that can be used sustainably by the school. This community service program is expected to serve as a model for financial literacy development in secondary education institutions while supporting national efforts to build a financially literate, independent, and future-oriented young generation.

This community service program was held at SD Negeri 102028 Dusun II Sei Parit, Sei Rampah District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, with a focus on applying the principles of sharia economic justice. This goal is achieved through education about the prohibition of usury and savings initiatives from an early age. This activity was motivated by the lack of Islamic financial literacy among children, especially related to the risk of usury and the urgency of frugal behavior and financial responsibility. The method chosen is a participatory-educational approach, which includes socialization, simulation and habituation, prioritizing the active involvement of students. The activity is divided into two main phases, namely usury education and saving education, utilizing animated films, educational games and picture stories. The impact of this service shows an increase in students' insight into the concept of riba, discipline in frugality, and the growth of awareness to manage money wisely according to Islamic guidance. Children are now beginning to understand that money is a mandate that must be used correctly and halal. In addition, this program also encourages the formation of the character of responsibility, trust and justice in the participants. Therefore, this program makes a significant contribution in building a children's mentality based on the principles of sharia economic justice and is worthy of being used as a prototype of Islamic financial education at the elementary school level.

This community service activity aims to foster the religious character of the community in Timbang Langkat Village through an Islamic literacy program. This program is implemented as a form of contribution from the Real Work Lecture (KKN) students in strengthening religious values in the community by increasing interest in reading, understanding, and practicing Islamic teachings contextually. The activity method is carried out with an approach implemented through counseling, religious studies, group discussions, and relevant, good and correct worship guidance according to the sunnah. The results of the implementation of the activity show a sense of enthusiasm from the community in participating in the literacy activities carried out, as well as the emergence of positive changes in the religious nature and behavior of children and the surrounding community, such as increased awareness of worship, social concern, and enthusiasm for learning worship such as prayer and tilawah. In addition, this activity also fosters a sense of togetherness between students and the community in building an environment with an Islamic character. The continued impact of this activity is seen from the formation of small study groups that independently continue Islamic literacy activities after the program ends. Thus, this Islamic literacy-based community service has proven effective as a means of developing sustainable religious character in the community, while strengthening the synergy between the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra and the Timbang Langkat Village community in developing local potential based on Islamic values.
