The advancement of digital technology has encouraged e-commerce platforms to adopt interactive features such as Virtual Try-On to enhance a more visual and personalized shopping experience. This feature allows consumers to virtually try products, thereby assisting in product evaluation prior to purchase decisions. This study aims to analyze the effect of experiential value on customer engagement behavior, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach through a survey of 150 respondents in Indonesia who have used Virtual Try-On, using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results indicate that experiential value has a positive and significant effect on both customer satisfaction and customer engagement behavior. Furthermore, customer satisfaction also has a positive effect on customer engagement behavior and partially mediates the relationship between experiential value and customer engagement behavior. These findings suggest that valuable technology-driven experiences can enhance customer satisfaction and encourage more active consumer engagement. This study contributes theoretically to the literature on digital consumer behavior and offers practical implications for e-commerce platforms in optimizing Virtual Try-On features.

This study aims to analyze the diffusion of the SIMPEL-DUKCAPIL innovation in population administration services in Bengkalis Regency. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using Everett M. Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory, which includes five attributes: relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. Data were collected through interviews, observation, documentation, and triangulation involving 19 informants consisting of officials from the Population and Civil Registration Office and service users. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that SIMPEL-DUKCAPIL provides relative advantages in improving time efficiency, cost savings, and service accessibility, particularly for communities in archipelagic areas. The data indicate 2,311 application users in 2025 with unequal distribution across sub-districts, along with 107 blank spot areas that hinder digital service access. The compatibility and observability dimensions are relatively strong, as the application aligns with service needs and its benefits are directly perceived by users. However, the adoption process remains suboptimal due to challenges in complexity and trialability, including low digital literacy, limited internet infrastructure, technical system issues, and user preference for face-to-face services. This study highlights that innovation diffusion in archipelagic regions is not solely determined by application quality, but also by infrastructure readiness, socialization strategies, and community digital capabilities.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of civic responsibility among Street Vendors (PKL) in the implementation of Bandung City Regional Regulation Number 11 of 2024 concerning the Arrangement and Empowerment of Street Vendors. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method in the Jalan Saparua area, Bandung City. Participants were determined through purposive sampling, including officers from the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), the Office of Cooperatives and SMEs, and street vendors. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results showed that the implementation of civic responsibility among street vendors has not been optimal, as reflected in the low understanding of regulations, weak legal awareness and social responsibility, and participation that tends to be conditional and pragmatic. These conditions still lead to violations of street vendor arrangement regulations in the research area. In addition, economic factors and the need to maintain livelihoods also influence the level of compliance of street vendors with regional regulations. Therefore, educational, participatory, and empowerment-based handling strategies are needed to achieve sustainable compliance and create urban order and environmental comfort.

Strengthening scientific literacy in elementary science learning requires interactive and contextual instructional strategies. Game-based learning has been shown to enhance student motivation and engagement (Clark et al., 2016). This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of an interactive quiz-based educational game on the topic of food chains and ecosystems for fifth-grade students. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages (Yusuf & Rahman, 2023). The participants were 25 students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest instruments and analyzed using the N-Gain formula to measure learning improvement. The findings indicate a moderate to high increase in students’ learning outcomes after the implementation of the developed media. In addition, students demonstrated greater participation during the learning process. These results suggest that interactive quiz-based educational games can serve as an effective alternative strategy to enhance conceptual understanding in elementary science education.

The digestive system is one of the most abstract and complex topics in high school biology because it involves physiological processes that occur inside the body and cannot be observed directly. This situation calls for the use of instructional media that can help students understand concepts in a more concrete, systematic, and engaging way. This study aims to analyze the effect of interactive multimedia on student learning outcomes regarding the digestive system and to identify the most effective type of multimedia. This study employs a meta-analysis method using secondary data from 20 relevant scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026. Data were collected through a literature review and systematic review, then analyzed using effect size calculations with Cohen’s and Hedges’ g formulas to determine the effectiveness level of each medium. The results indicate that the use of interactive multimedia generally has a positive effect on student learning outcomes, with most media falling into the high to very high effect size category. Interactive multimedia based on Articulate Storyline was the most effective medium with the highest effect size value of 2.730, followed by Augmented Reality-based E-Magazine at 2.634. These findings indicate that interactive multimedia is effective in facilitating the visualization of concepts and increasing student engagement.

The results of the activity show that there is an increase in public knowledge about a healthy lifestyle and an increase in awareness to carry out regular health check-ups. This activity also has a positive impact in early detection of public health conditions. In addition, the active participation of the community during the activity shows high enthusiasm for the program implemented. This program also strengthens the relationship between health workers and the community in promotive and preventive efforts. Thus, education and free health services are effective strategies in improving the health status of the village community and encouraging the formation of healthy living behaviors in a sustainable and independent manner.

The development of digital technology has positioned video games beyond mere entertainment to become a cultural medium with the potential to influence players' social and political perspectives. In this context, video games are seen as relevant as a medium for political socialization because they present interactive narratives, moral choices, and social simulations that allow players to directly experience dilemmas of power, justice, responsibility, and state-citizen relations. This article aims to analyze the potential of video games as a medium for political socialization, examine narrative elements that influence the formation of political awareness, and examine the possibility of integrating the Indonesian socio-cultural context into game narratives. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review design through a search of various literature sources. The results indicate that video games can serve as a medium for informal political socialization through participatory experiences, moral reflection, and the immersive internalization of political values. This potential will be further enhanced by incorporating local Indonesian contexts, such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), diversity, and social justice. This study confirms that video games are worthy of being positioned as an educational-cultural medium that can expand political education models in the digital era.  

The rise of the digital business era presents both opportunities and challenges for SME operators, particularly regarding legal aspects of business and unfair competition. This community service initiative aims to enhance the legal literacy and capacity of SME operators in Surakarta through educational and practical legal support. The methods employed included a pre-test to measure initial understanding, a legal needs assessment to identify participants’ legal requirements, the presentation of materials and interactive discussions as forms of intervention, and a post-test to evaluate improvements in understanding. The results of the activity demonstrated a significant improvement in participants’ legal knowledge and awareness, particularly regarding business contracts, digital transactions, and the risks of unfair competition. Furthermore, there was a shift in participants’ mindset, as they began to view the law as a strategic tool in running their businesses. Nevertheless, this initiative still faces challenges such as time constraints and the need for more intensive follow-up support. Consequently, legal support based on the actual needs of MSME operators has proven effective and requires continuous development to strengthen the competitiveness and legal protection of MSMEs in the digital age.

Social Studies (IPS) learning in elementary schools plays an essential role in developing students’ critical thinking skills and civic attitudes as part of 21st-century competencies. However, in practice, IPS learning is still commonly teacher-centered and lacks contextual learning experiences, resulting in low student engagement and limited development of higher-order thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in IPS learning to enhance critical thinking skills and civic attitudes of grade VI students at SDN Prekbun. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers, students, school principals, and parents, as well as documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that the implementation of PjBL effectively enhances students’ active participation, critical thinking skills in analyzing social issues, and civic attitudes such as responsibility, cooperation, and social awareness. Learning becomes more meaningful as students are directly involved in contextual, collaborative, and problem-based project activities. Despite these positive outcomes, several challenges were identified, including limited learning facilities, time management constraints, and variations in students’ confidence levels. This study implies that PjBL is an effective instructional model for strengthening character education and developing 21st-century skills in elementary social studies learning

Fiqh learning education activities play an important role in improving early childhood worship awareness, particularly in understanding the pillars of Islam as the foundation of Islamic teachings.

This was indicated by a t-value of 6.184, which was higher than the t-table value of 2.008 at a 5 percent significance level. The correlation coefficient of 0.666 indicated a strong relationship, while the coefficient of determination of 0.443 showed that 44.3 percent of the variance in students’ learning outcomes was explained by the use of interactive PowerPoint media. Therefore, interactive PowerPoint media can be considered an effective instructional alternative to support the improvement of student learning outcomes.

This community service activity aimed to enhance human resource management (HRM) literacy among congregation members through weekly religious study sessions at Kramatwatu Mosque. HRM literacy is important not only in formal work environments, but also in family life, social organizations, and religious activities. The problem identified was the congregation’s limited understanding of basic HRM concepts, such as planning, organizing, role distribution, discipline, communication, and individual potential development. The community service program was carried out through an educational-participatory approach in the form of material presentation, interactive discussions, simple case studies, and reflection on Islamic values relevant to human resource management. The activity was implemented gradually in weekly religious study forums by taking into account the characteristics of the congregation. The results showed an improvement in the congregation’s understanding of the importance of HRM in daily life, particularly in the aspects of responsibility, cooperation, discipline, and self-capacity development. Weekly religious study sessions proved effective as a medium for community empowerment because they were able to integrate religious values with practical HRM concepts. Therefore, strengthening HRM literacy through weekly religious study sessions can serve as a relevant educational strategy to improve mosque-based human resource quality.

Nahwu (Arabic grammar) is a fundamental discipline in learning the Arabic language, helping to prevent errors in speech and serving as a primary key to clearly understanding Islamic legal texts. However, in practice, the teaching of Nahwu often faces complex challenges, particularly the lack of active participation among female students and their uneven mastery of the subject. Therefore, this study aims to explore the problems in teaching Nahwu at Al-Madani Islamic Boarding School in Cikalong and to identify the factors causing these issues. This study aims to: (1) reveal the problems faced by second-grade female students of KMI in learning Nahwu at Al-Madani Islamic Boarding School in Cikalong, and (2) identify the contributing factors influencing the emergence of these problems. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The researcher used three data collection techniques: classroom observation, in-depth interviews with the Nahwu teacher, and questionnaires distributed to the students. For data analysis, the researcher applied the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. To ensure data validity, data triangulation techniques were used. The results of the study indicate that the problems are divided into two main aspects: (1) learning-related problems, including the gap between memorization of grammatical rules and their application (i‘rab), high levels of academic anxiety, and decreased classroom concentration; and (2) contributing factors, including methodological factors, linguistic-psychological factors, and classroom management factors. The researcher suggests that teachers adopt more interactive teaching methods and media, as well as innovative visual tools to reduce the abstract nature of Nahwu materials and enhance students’ functional understanding. Additionally, activating “Halaqah Nahwiyyah” (grammar study circles) in dormitories is recommended to overcome psychological barriers and improve students’ linguistic confidence.

This activity aims to build an entrepreneurial mindset and improve public understanding of ethical digital marketing strategies. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which consists of problem identification, root cause analysis, solution formulation, program design, and implementation through seminars, training, and interactive discussions. The activity was conducted at the Manbaul Falah Islamic Boarding School in Rungkut, Surabaya, involving young participants. The results indicate an increase in participants’ understanding of business opportunities, the importance of an entrepreneurial mindset, and the effective and responsible use of digital technology. Participants’ enthusiasm during the activity also reflects increased motivation to start entrepreneurship at an early age. This activity has positive implications in enhancing awareness, knowledge, and economic independence of the community through productive and ethical use of digital technology.

Learning fiqh is a very important thing to learn because fiqh regulates all the laws of Allah related to human work where the laws are taken from the Qur'an and Sunnah by means of ijtihad. However, in the field there are still many students who do not understand how to perform tayammum taharah correctly. This happens due to lack of understanding and insufficient habits. Thus, this PKM activity aims to educate students related to taharah so that students not only understand theory, but can apply it in daily life according to Islamic law. The method used is Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) with the stages of discovery, dream, design, define, and destiny. To optimize local potentials such as the competence of ustazah and TPQ facilities, through lectures, demonstrations, discussions, hands-on practice, and evaluation based on interactive quizzes. The results of the tayammum mentoring activities show that TPQ Darul Falah students are very active and interactive during learning. Students who initially did not understand the procedures of tayammum properly and perfunctorially, are now able to do it according to Islamic law. In addition, this training activity provides direct understanding and experience to ustazah and students of TPQ Darul Falah in learning tayamum practice.
