Educational transformation in the era of globalization and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 requires educational institutions not only to produce academically competent graduates but also individuals with entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and adaptability. The high rate of educated unemployment indicates the need for alternative approaches, one of which is the implementation of an edupreneurial business model. This concept integrates entrepreneurial principles into educational management, emphasizing innovation, value creation, and sustainability. This study analyzes the application of business models in edupreneurship within formal educational institutions, covering conventional, digital, and social models. The findings indicate that edupreneurship enhances educational relevance, expands accessibility, and supports financial independence of institutions. Social edupreneurship is considered effective in promoting educational equity through socially impactful business models. The success of implementing an edupreneurial business model depends on continuous innovation, technological utilization, strategic partnerships, and diversification of funding sources. Therefore, edupreneurship is recommended as a visionary, adaptive, and sustainable strategy for educational transformation.

In the era of globalization, university graduates are required to have the ability to implement knowledge in real practice, which is realized through the Field Work program. This study aims to evaluate the compliance of Task Force reporting at PT PLN (Persero) North Sumatra Main Distribution Unit (UID North Sumatra). The method used is a quantitative approach with K-Means Clustering. Compliance reporting data was obtained from internal company documents, which then went through the preprocessing and clustering stages using the K-Means algorithm, with the determination of the optimal cluster number through the Elbow and Silhouette methods. The K-Means clustering analysis results identified two groups of units with different levels of compliance. Cluster 2, consisting of UP3 Binjai and UP3 Sibolga, showed a higher and more consistent level of reporting compliance. In contrast, Cluster 1 (including UP2D, UP3 B. Barisan, UP3 L. Pakam, UP3 Medan, UP3 Medan Utara, UP3 Nias, UP3 P. Sidimpuan, UP3 P. Siantar, and UP3 Prapat) had a tendency for lower compliance. This finding indicates a difference in reporting consistency that affects the effectiveness of work safety supervision. The K-Means method is proven to help PLN management identify units with low compliance, allowing corrective actions to be prioritized appropriately.

The implementation of ISO 9001:2015 as a quality management system standard has become a strategic issue in improving the competitiveness, efficiency, and consistency of organizational quality in the era of globalization and digitalization. However, the effectiveness of its implementation still varies depending on the organizational context, resource readiness, and quality culture. This study aims to systematically review the literature related to the implementation of ISO 9001:2015 to answer the main questions: how it affects organizational performance, how it is integrated with other management systems, and what the challenges and directions for future research are. The method used is a systematic literature review through a search of the Google Scholar and Publish or Perish databases using the keywords "ISO 9001:2015," "quality management systems," and "organizational performance."

Meanwhile, an organizational culture rooted in Islamic values strengthens collaboration, professionalism, and shared responsibility among teachers. The integration of these two elements creates a synergistic effect that enhances teachers’ pedagogical, professional, and spiritual competencies. It can be concluded that transformational leadership combined with a strong organizational culture serves as an effective strategy to sustainably improve teacher quality in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah..

Educational quality management has become a strategic topic in the era of globalization because it plays a crucial role in improving institutional effectiveness and learning quality. The application of quality management principles, such as Total Quality Management (TQM) and the process approach, has been implemented in various educational institutions, although the results and approaches are still varied. This study aims to systematically examine the principles and benefits of quality management in education and to answer two main questions: (1) what are the most dominant quality management principles used in education, and (2) what is the impact of implementing these principles on improving educational quality. The research method used is a Literature Review with a qualitative approach. Data were collected from Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) databases using the keywords "principles and benefits of quality management in education." Of the 50 articles published between 2020 and 2025, 5 were selected for further analysis. The analysis yielded three main themes: the application of TQM principles, challenges in quality implementation, and the role of leadership in maintaining the sustainability of educational quality. In general, the implementation of quality management has been shown to improve organizational effectiveness, educator professionalism, and the overall quality of learning outcomes. This study also recommends further studies focusing on the integration of quality management principles with digital transformation in education.

This study addresses citizenship justice in Indonesia amid the challenging era of globalization, focusing on the conflict between Pancasila as the state foundation and the dominant Islamic values in society. The study aims to analyze the synergy of Islamic principles—justice (ʿadl), equality (musawah), and public welfare (maslahah)—with the second and fifth principles of Pancasila to build sustainable and inclusive citizenship justice. The method used is qualitative, including content analysis and an in-depth literature review of the Qur'an, Hadith, and Pancasila documents, supplemented by semi-structured interviews with 20 experts in religion and constitutional law. The findings reveal a new conceptual framework called "Islamic Pancasila," which integrates the principle of tauhid with the value of gotong royong (mutual cooperation), reducing social polarization by up to 30% based on case simulations in multicultural areas like West Java. Islamic values provide a spiritual dimension that complements Pancasila, while Pancasila offers an inclusive nationalist framework. The study concludes that the synergy between Islamic values and Pancasila is not only a theoretical solution but also a practical strategy for realizing citizenship justice. Recommendations include integrating these values into the civic education curriculum and government policies to facilitate interfaith dialogue, strengthening national identity amid contemporary social and cultural dynamics.

The era of globalization is an era of quality competition, where only thosebwith high competence will be able to compete in the free market. Therefore, developing high-quality human resources is something that cannot be compromised. Education that supports development in this era is education that can foster students’ potential’ enabling them toface and overcome life’s challenges. Thus, in the learning process, teachers should not only serve as models or sources of knowledge but also act as learning managers. As learning managers, teachers play an important role in creating a learning environment that allows students to learn confortably and effectively. Based on observations at SMA Negeri 2 Taniwel, it was found that students in class X-2 have low learning outcomes in sociology. The writer’s observation in class indicated that sociology learning was dominated by lecture methods, resulting in students being less active during the learning process. According to research conducted by Al Muchtar (1991), learning in social studies education does not sufficiently simulate students to be actively involved in the learning process. Furthermore, the teaching and learning process of social studies carried out bye teachers has not been able to faster a learning culture among students, wich in turn significantly affects their learning achievement and outcomes. To support active learning strategies, teachers can apply various relevant learning models. Therefore, the learning process will become more varied, innovative, and constructive, creating interaction between teachers and students, among students themselves, and between students and other learning resources.

Improving the quality of education has become a strategic issue in efforts to strengthen the competitiveness and credibility of educational institutions in the era of globalization. One crucial approach to achieving this goal is developing a quality culture as a system of values, attitudes, and habits oriented towards continuous improvement. This article aims to systematically review how the concept of quality culture is applied in the educational context and answer the question: how do strategies for strengthening quality culture contribute to improving the performance of educational institutions? This research uses a qualitative approach using the Literature Review (LR) method. The data sources were scientific articles from 2020–2025 accessed through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) with the keyword "quality culture." Of the 30 articles found, 5 were selected for thematic analysis. The review results revealed three main trends: (1) the importance of academic leadership and supervision in fostering a quality culture, (2) the role of internal quality assurance systems in consistent quality implementation, and (3) the impact of quality culture on improving institutional performance. In conclusion, quality culture is a key element in the success of sustainable education. Further research is recommended to examine digital-based and collaborative quality culture models.

This study aims to examine the role and strategies of educational management amidst global dynamics and the development of information technology. The method used is a qualitative approach through literature review of various relevant scientific sources, focusing on the development of educational management in the digital era. The results show that 21st-century educational management must be innovative, flexible, and technology-based. Additionally, strengthening 4C competencies (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) is a key focus in the development of adaptive and effective learning systems. The role of technology in education is not only as a tool but also as an integral part of modern educational governance, supporting both the learning process and the overall management of education. Key challenges faced include the readiness of human resources, the equal distribution of technological infrastructure, and the digital divide between regions and social groups. Therefore, adaptive and visionary managerial strategies are essential to creating an excellent and sustainable educational system.

This study is expected to serve as a reference in the development of sustainable educational management policies and practices, as well as enhance the quality of education in the digital era.

In the era of globalization, the widespread use of digital gadgets has significantly influenced students’ daily lives, including their learning processes. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of gadget addiction among students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTS) and to examine its potential impact on their ability to recite the Qur’an. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed to identify the association between gadget addiction and Qur’an reading proficiency. The participants consisted of 122 students selected through convenience sampling from one MTS institution in Cirebon Regency. The instrument for measuring gadget addiction contained 11 items, while the Qur’an reading ability test consisted of 12 items, with a reliability coefficient of 0.593. Data analysis included descriptive statistics to describe the distribution of scores and inferential statistics, specifically the correlation test, to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results revealed that 77% of students experienced a high level of gadget addiction, while 15% demonstrated low levels, and 8% fell into the moderate category. In terms of Qur’an recitation ability, 63% of the students were classified in the low category, 35% in the moderate category, and only 2% in the high category. The correlation analysis produced a coefficient of -0.544**, indicating a moderately strong negative relationship between gadget addiction and Qur’an reading ability (range 0.400–0.599). The two-tailed significance value (p = 0.000 < 0.05) confirmed the statistical significance of this finding. Overall, the study highlights that greater gadget addiction is associated with lower Qur’an reading proficiency, whereas lower levels of gadget use are linked to improved recitation skills. These findings suggest the urgent need for educational interventions and parental guidance to balance gadget usage and ensure the strengthening of Qur’anic literacy among students.

 National insight is an important foundation in the character development of Indonesia's young generation, especially in facing the challenges of globalization, digitalization, and changing values ​​among adolescents. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to strengthen national insight for new students of SMAN 46 Jakarta through a contextual approach relevant to the conditions of today's youth. The contextual approach was chosen because it can help students understand the material by connecting the knowledge learned with their daily experiences, so that the learning process becomes more meaningful, easier to understand, and less abstract (Aminah et al., 2022; Parhan & Sukaenah, 2020). The methods used in this program include interactive counseling, group discussions, and reflections supported by audiovisual media close to students' daily lives, such as short videos, digital illustrations, and case simulations. This activity was held on July 14–16, 2025, as part of the School Environment Introduction Period (MPLS) and was attended by 450 new students in grade X. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in students' understanding of the concept of national insight from a practical and contextual perspective, with a focus on the values ​​of empathy, solidarity, mutual cooperation, anti-bullying, and positive creativity. Furthermore, this program succeeded in changing the paradigm of students from an understanding of national insight that initially tended to be normative and abstract to being more applicable in everyday life. This proves that strengthening national insight through a contextual approach can be an effective strategy in forming a young generation that is characterful, adaptive, and has social awareness.

Young generations in the digital era face serious challenges in maintaining their Islamic identity due to the rapid flow of globalization, the penetration of popular culture, and the influence of social media, which often contradict Islamic values. This condition has led some adolescents and youth to experience moral degradation, a decline in interest toward religious studies, and a tendency to be more attracted to instant entertainment content. Conventional religious studies that are monotonous are often less appealing to Millennials and Gen Z, thus requiring innovative models of religious education that are relevant, engaging, and suitable for the characteristics of the digital generation. This Community Service Program (KKN) carried the theme “Strengthening Islamic Character of Young Generations through Interactive Multimedia-Based Studies at the Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office of Central Lampung Regency.” The main objective was to improve the understanding, internalization, and practice of Islamic values through creative, participatory, and enjoyable approaches. The program was implemented over one month with eight face-to-face sessions. The methods included interactive lectures, motivational video screenings, Islamic animation, group discussions, digital quizzes, and the establishment of an online discussion group via WhatsApp to maintain continuity of learning. Evaluation was carried out through field observation, pre-test and post-test, as well as in-depth interviews with participants and partners. The results showed an increase in religious understanding from an average of 58% to 82%, with active participation reaching 87%. Moreover, a youth community named Forum Pemuda Islami Lampung Tengah (FOPILTENG) was established, which is committed to continuing monthly studies independently. Technical obstacles such as limited multimedia facilities were successfully overcome by facilitators’ creativity, including utilizing simple devices and free digital platforms. Overall, the interactive multimedia-based approach proved to be effective in enhancing learning motivation, strengthening Islamic character, and fostering togetherness among youth. This model has the potential to be replicated in other regions as a strategic effort to nurture a religious, well-characterized, and competitive young generation in facing global challenges.

In the era of globalization, the rapid development of information technology has brought significant changes in the way people access and convey information. The presence of the Internet and social media has proven that global networks enable interaction and information exchange to occur in real time without geographical boundaries. One phenomenon arising from this development is social media, which has become a virtual space for individuals and companies to communicate directly, personally, and interactively. One of the most popular social media platforms today is Instagram, a platform that is now widely utilized by businesses, including those in the culinary industry, to build a strong brand image amid intense competition.

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.
