Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is a learning method that emphasizes students' active involvement in completing real-world projects relevant to nursing education. Evaluating the implementation of PjBL is essential to assess its application at the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Riau. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the PjBL method among nursing students at Universitas Riau. The study employed a descriptive evaluative quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 123 fourth-semester students were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 25 Likert-scale items that had been validated through expert judgment and demonstrated good reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.80. The instrument covered the dimensions of project planning, collaboration and communication, motivation and creativity, critical thinking and independence, understanding and application of learning materials, interest and satisfaction, as well as lecturer assessment and feedback. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis with frequency and percentage distributions. Most respondents were 20 years old (55.3%), female (87.0%), and had a Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) above 3.50. The implementation of PjBL was categorized as high (63.4%), moderate (35.8%), and low (0.8%). Overall, the implementation of PjBL was considered optimal and effectively supported students’ active engagement, collaboration, and understanding of learning materials.

Inclusive education aims to provide equal learning opportunities for all students, including those with special needs, within regular educational settings. However, mathematics learning in inclusive classrooms remains challenging because mathematical concepts are often abstract and require logical reasoning that may not be easily accessible to learners with diverse cognitive characteristics. Ethnomathematics has emerged as an alternative approach by integrating cultural practices, local wisdom, and students’ daily experiences into mathematics instruction, creating more meaningful and accessible learning environments. This study aims to analyze the development, implementation patterns, opportunities, and research gaps related to ethnomathematics in inclusive mathematics learning. A literature review method was employed by examining scientific publications from 2020–2025 obtained from Google Scholar, Scopus, ERIC, Springer, and ProQuest databases. Data were analyzed through content analysis involving reduction, classification, interpretation, and synthesis. The findings indicate that ethnomathematics has been implemented through cultural artifacts, digital teaching materials, and project-based contextual learning. The approach supports inclusive learning through multi-representational access, instructional adaptations, scaffolding strategies, and collaborative teaching practices aligned with Universal Design for Learning principles. Furthermore, ethnomathematics enhances students’ motivation, conceptual understanding, mathematical literacy, and cultural identity. Nevertheless, studies focusing on disability-specific adaptations and long-term learning outcomes remain limited and require further investigation.

Integrating this subject into the education curriculum aims to provide children with a comprehensive understanding of the development of Islam, both across the Nusantara region and throughout Southeast Asia as a whole. This way, students gain a broad perspective. Furthermore, this subject is designed to foster a love for knowledge in children and to encourage them to uphold Islamic teachings throughout their lives. Its teaching methods are adapted to the changing times, ensuring that the material taught remains relevant to current needs. Through learning the History of Islamic Culture, it is hoped that children will understand the role and contributions of Muslim communities in Southeast Asia, and grow up to be individuals of good character, useful to society, and able to live in harmony with others in accordance with Islamic teachings.

Consumerism is an attitude, mindset, and lifestyle that prioritizes superficial desires. It is influenced by the development of globalization, which has had an impact on people’s lives, both in the cultural and technological fields. Currently, consumerism is a trend in society, with people competing to find happiness by purchasing items that suit their desires, and sometimes seeking recognition from others through consumerist behavior. The rapid development of globalization has greatly influenced today’s societal mindset, with people preferring superficial happiness without considering the impact behind it. The birth of consumerism is inseparable from the rapid development of technology, in this case social media. The presence of social media makes it easier for people to access various things, so that consumerism culture thrives because social media has provided various things. This concept is inversely proportional to Boethius’s concept of happiness. Boethius’s concept of happiness is not about superficial or temporary happiness (wealth, pleasure, and recognition from others), but true, eternal happiness. The purpose of this paper is to understand Boethius’s concept of supreme happiness, which will serve as a critique of consumerist culture. This research uses qualitative methods with a literature review approach (research gap), as well as a philosophical analysis of Boethius’s work, specifically regarding supreme happiness. The results indicate that Boethius’s concept of supreme happiness lies not in material wealth, social recognition, or pleasure, but rather in a relationship with the Divine, or transcendence. Therefore, the implication of this research is the need to reorient society’s understanding of true happiness.
