This research is motivated by the low level of discipline among elementary school students, characterized by non-compliance with rules, tardiness, and other negative behaviors, thus requiring the role of Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) as a strategic solution. This research aims to examine the role of PPKn learning in shaping the discipline of elementary school students through a library research approach. This research method uses a systematic and comprehensive library research method to assess the contribution of PPKn learning in forming the discipline of elementary school students (SD). The main focus is on national scientific sources in Indonesian and English languages from the period 2020-2025, with the aim of identifying patterns and strategies of PPKn learning towards improving student discipline in SD. The study results show that PPKn learning is effective in internalizing discipline values through habituation, teacher exemplification, continuous evaluation, and the use of innovative learning media such as educational videos. The involvement of teachers, schools, and parents is an important factor in supporting the formation of student discipline character, with strategies such as family collaboration and group supervision to overcome external challenges. This research provides a theoretical contribution as a basis for developing applicable PPKn learning strategies to form a disciplined generation in elementary schools. The implications of this study indicate that PPKn learning has a strategic role in shaping the discipline of elementary school students, thus requiring synergy between teachers, schools, and parents to optimize the internalization of character values in every learning activity.

The development of social media as part of digital technology has significantly transformed patterns of social interaction among adolescents in Indonesia. Social media no longer functions solely as a medium for communication and self-expression, but also as a social space that influences behavioral formation, including deviant and criminal behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of social media on juvenile criminal behavior from a criminological perspective, with particular attention to social learning processes and the weakening of social control in digital environments. This research employs a qualitative method using a literature study approach by examining scientific journals, official reports, and statistical data related to social media use and adolescent behavior. The findings indicate that high intensity of social media use, exposure to negative content, and the normalization of aggressive behavior in digital spaces contribute to increased vulnerability of adolescents to criminal behaviors such as cyberbullying, online aggression, and other forms of deviance. Within the framework of Social Learning Theory, social media serves as a medium for behavioral learning through mechanisms of observation, imitation, and social reinforcement, while Social Control Theory highlights how weak supervision by families and educational institutions amplifies the risk of deviant behavior. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of preventive, non-penal approaches through strengthening social control, improving digital literacy, and enhancing the active role of families and schools to minimize the risk of juvenile criminal behavior in the digital era.

This study examines the administrative problems in managing the Education Data Sistem (Dapodik) as a key instrument for strengthening the institutional capacity of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) in West Sumatra. Using a literature review approach, data were collected from various sources, including reports from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek), BAN PAUD and PNF, and previous studies. The findings reveal that although Dapodik reporting in West Sumatra has reached 97.8%, several challenges persist, such as limited internet access, low operator competence, insufficient technical supervision, and a lack of institutional awareness of data accuracy. These issues have led to delays in accreditation, misallocation of operational assistance funds (BOP), and ineffective educational planning. Therefore, innovative solutions such as Dapodik gamification, digital inter-institutional mentoring, and operator certification are recommended to improve data management effectiveness and sustainably strengthen PAUD institutional governance.

Character formation is a fundamental component of Islamic education, particularly in responding to the growing challenges of moral decline and the weakening of students’ manners in contemporary learning environments. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the classical text Risalat Adab Suluk al-Murid in shaping student character through the integration of seven good habits at SMPIQu Al-Bahjah Cianjur. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation to explore how the values of adab are internalized and reflected in students’ daily behavior. The findings indicate that the learning of this classical text strengthens students’ discipline, respect toward teachers, sense of responsibility, and enthusiasm for learning. The internalization process occurs not only during classroom activities but also through daily routines such as morning habits, worship practices, time management, and social interactions within the school environment. The seven good habits function as a practical framework that reinforces the application of sufistic values taught in the text, allowing students to translate moral teachings into consistent actions. Teachers play a crucial role as role models who guide, demonstrate, and cultivate these values through continuous supervision and exemplary conduct. The study concludes that classical Islamic text-based learning offers an effective strategy for enhancing student character within modern Islamic educational settings. The implications highlight the need for schools to strengthen adab-centered curricula, cultivate ethical school culture, and promote collaboration among teachers, institutions, and families to ensure sustainable character development.

Cases of sexual violence are rife in educational environments and generally happen to women. Ironically, 55% of sexual violence perpetrators are committed by teachers, in fact many cases are still unreported. Preventing sexual violence is a shared responsibility. This study aims to determine the conditions, impacts and strategies that can be used to prevent sexual violence. A qualitative analytical approach with secondary data in the form of interviews broadcast via the Narasi TV and YouTube websites (Crime Lab, COKRO TV, KAWANUATV MANADO, Tribun Health, UNPAR OFFICIAL) was used in this research. The impacts felt by victims of sexual violence include feeling afraid, embarrassed, depressed, traumatized and low self-esteem. Strategies that can be implemented include promoting social norms, implementing social emotional learning related to sexual violence, forming a task force, mentoring support in the form of counseling and medical services as well as parental supervision and assistance. Mutual cooperation and synergy need to be carried out together to create a school environment that is safe and comfortable for students and free from sexual violence.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in alleviating poverty, with a case study focus on Sei Jang Village, Tanjungpinang City. PKH is a social assistance program initiated by the government to improve the welfare of the poor through conditional cash assistance. The reason the researcher chose this title was to determine the extent to which PKH is effective in reducing poverty, especially since data shows a decline in the number of PKH recipients in Sei Jang Village in 2023. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, where data is obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. To measure the level of effectiveness, the theory from (Makmur, 2015) was used, which states that the elements of effectiveness include accuracy in timing, accuracy in calculation, accuracy in measurement, accuracy in decision making, accuracy in thinking, accuracy in carrying out orders, accuracy in determining goals, and accuracy in targeting. The results of the study show that PKH has had a positive impact on reducing the economic burden on poor families, particularly in meeting the educational and health needs of children. However, the effectiveness of this program is still hampered by several factors, such as delays in fund disbursement, participants' lack of understanding of the program's terms and conditions, and minimal assistance from relevant officials. In addition, another challenge in the form of inaccuracy in targeting beneficiaries also affects the overall achievement of the program. These findings indicate that better management and supervision are urgently needed. This study concludes that although PKH contributes significantly to poverty alleviation, improvements in management and supervision are needed to maximize the program's objectives. The proposed recommendations include increasing the capacity of social workers, improving the beneficiary selection mechanism, and strengthening coordination among stakeholders at the local level.

Corticosteroids are hormones that play an important role in the human physiological system, affecting self-defense against environmental changes. However, the perception of their efficacy often drives irrational self-medication behavior in the community, which can lead to detrimental effects if used long-term without supervision. This community service activity was carried out in Kepolorejo Village, Magetan Regency, based on initial observations showing errors in corticosteroid use, such as doubling dosages. The method used was educational counseling with material presentation and Q&A discussions regarding irrational corticosteroid use. Knowledge measurement was conducted through pre-test and post-test questionnaires. The results showed an increase in public knowledge regarding the impact of irrational steroid use.

School management quality is a vital factor in determining the success of the educational process, yet current efforts often appear partial and sub-optimal due to shortcomings in planning, supervision, and human resource development. This library research, employing a descriptive analytical method and systematic literature review through academic databases, aimed to analyze the crucial role of educational leadership in enhancing school management quality. The findings indicate that the core tasks of educational leadership encompass strategic planning, resource management, academic supervision, and integrated decision-making, all of which are fundamental for quality-oriented school governance. Effective leadership is characterized by vision, strong communication, adaptability, and a deep commitment to professional development. The study concludes that the success of improving school management quality is highly dependent on the principal’s ability to execute leadership tasks that are visionary, professional, strategic, and sustainable. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that principals consistently enhance their managerial and supervision competencies and cultivate a school culture that is professional and oriented towards continuous quality improvement.  

The School-Based Curriculum (KSP) is an operational curriculum developed by educational units to align learning objectives with the characteristics of students, local potentials, and the evolving needs of society. KSP provides schools with autonomy to develop curricula that are relevant to their local context, allowing for variations in the approach to learning. This article aims to discuss the basic concept of KSP, the challenges in its implementation, and its evaluation in the context of Indonesian education. The research method used is a literature review, analyzing theories and regulations related to KSP. The results show that KSP plays a strategic role in providing schools with the flexibility to develop curricula that meet the needs of the region and students. However, the implementation of KSP still faces various challenges, such as limited teacher competencies, insufficient understanding of curriculum principles, and weak evaluation and supervision of curriculum implementation. To address these challenges, the evaluation of KSP implementation needs to be strengthened by improving teachers' competencies, developing relevant learning materials, and enhancing ongoing curriculum supervision. By doing so, KSP can be optimized to achieve better educational outcomes in Indonesia.

The results of the study show that educators need to implement learning strategies that balance digital and non-digital activities so that all aspects of children's development cognitive, language, motor, socio-emotional, and moral can be optimally stimulated. Effective strategies include play-based learning, project-based learning, integration of educational digital media, collaboration with parents, and the creation of a learning environment rich in stimulation. By applying these strategies, children not only develop intellectually but also build character, creativity, and social skills. The key. Improving educators' digital literacy and active supervision from parents are the keys to the success of adaptive and humanistic early childhood education in the digital era.

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) plays a fundamental role in shaping children's character, moral values, and intellectual potential from an early age. However, many PAUD institutions in Indonesia still face serious challenges in management, where attention is focused more on operational sustainability than on improving educational quality. This study aims to describe the actual condition of PAUD institutions, analyze the causes of weak management, and identify the impact of operational orientation on educational quality. The method used is a literature study through analysis of various sources such as books, scientific journals, research reports, and government policies related to PAUD implementation. The results of the study indicate that weak management is caused by limited human resources, low managerial competence, minimal funding, weak planning, and a lack of supervision and community support. The impact is seen in the decline in educational quality and low public trust in PAUD institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen quality-based management that emphasizes improving educator competence, community involvement, effective management of infrastructure, utilization of educational technology, and implementation of continuous evaluation. Professional and adaptive PAUD management is key to realizing superior, high-quality institutions that are relevant to the developmental needs of early childhood in the modern era.

This study aims to examine the role of National Education Standards (SNP) in realizing a quality and equitable education system in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach to various scientific sources discussing the implementation of SNP, including educator professionalism, education management, and quality equity between regions. The results of the study show that the SNP functions as the main instrument for quality assurance as well as a strategy for educational equity through eight standards that must be met by each educational unit. The implementation of the SNP has been proven to improve the quality of learning, the competence of educators, and the accountability of school management. In addition, the SNP plays a role in narrowing the gap in educational quality between regions by establishing uniform performance indicators at the national level. However, implementation in the field still faces obstacles in the form of limited human resources, infrastructure, and uneven policy support. Therefore, collaboration among stakeholders is needed to optimize the implementation of the SNP through continuous training, managerial supervision, and strengthening of the internal quality assurance system in schools. This study confirms that the SNP is a strategic foundation for building a quality, inclusive, and equitable national education system in the era of educational transformation.
