This study aimed to develop Matif (Interactive Mathematics) video media on the topic of equivalent fractions for fourth-grade elementary school students and to determine its validity, effectiveness, and student responses. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model. It was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah Gresik during the first semester, involving 19 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques included interviews, expert validation sheets for content and media, learning effectiveness tests, and student response questionnaires. The development process followed five ADDIE stages. (1) Analysis involved curriculum analysis, needs analysis, and student characteristics analysis. (2) Design focused on creating the learning flow and storyboard. (3) Development produced the video media, which was validated by experts. The material expert validation score reached 97.5%, and the media expert validation score was 91.6%, both categorized as very valid. These results indicate that the material is highly appropriate, clear, and easy to understand, while the media demonstrates excellent quality in visual, audio, typography, language, and usability aspects. (4) Implementation involved testing the media on students, with an N-Gain score of 0.8405, categorized as high, indicating that the media effectively improves students’ understanding. (5) Evaluation was conducted through student response questionnaires, resulting in a score of 95.5%, categorized as very good, showing that students found the media engaging, easy to use, and helpful. Overall, the Matif video media meets the criteria of validity and effectiveness, making it suitable as an innovative learning alternative, with potential for further development through enhanced animations and varied exercises.

This study aims to analyze the history of Islamic education management in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period, identify colonial policies that restricted Islamic education development, and describe the adaptive and resistant responses of Muslim scholars and educational institutions. The study also aims to explain the roles of pesantren and madrasah as institutions that not only survived but underwent significant transformation due to colonial pressures, and to reveal the historical contribution of colonial-era Islamic education management as a foundation for post-independence Islamic education. Using a qualitative literature review method with sources primarily published between 2021 and 2026, this study finds that colonial pressures through the Teacher Ordinance and Wild Schools Ordinance paradoxically spurred innovations in the form of modern madrasahs integrating religious and general knowledge. Organizations such as Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama strengthened this educational transformation, making Islamic education not merely a vehicle for religious learning but an instrument of cultural resistance, national consciousness-building, and evidence of Muslim resilience in facing historical challenges.

This study aims to analyze fifth-grade students’ understanding of the water cycle concept at SD Muhammadiyah Sidayu using animated video assistance, as well as to describe supporting and inhibiting factors, identify obstacles faced by teachers and students, explain teachers’ efforts, and examine students’ responses in science learning. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with 23 fifth-grade students as participants. Data were collected through tests, questionnaires, interviews, and observations, and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of technique, source, and time. The results indicate that students’ understanding of the water cycle concept is categorized as moderate, with an average score of 69.43. Students are able to explain the definition and stages of the water cycle through images, classify events based on similarities in processes, and distinguish between evaporation and condensation. However, they still face difficulties in explaining the relationships between processes and in providing real-life examples related to the water cycle. Supporting factors include students’ interest and learning motivation, while inhibiting factors involve differences in comprehension abilities and students’ health conditions. Teachers face obstacles such as limited audio-visual facilities, shared LCD usage, and challenges in selecting appropriate animated videos. To overcome these issues, teachers use simple explanations, emphasize key points, replay videos, provide individual guidance, and assign diagram-based projects. Students’ responses are very positive, as animated videos increase their interest, attention, motivation, and conceptual understanding.

This study aims to develop learning media for motorcycle hydraulic brake systems through three main aspects. First, it examines the development procedures covering the planning, design, and implementation stages. Second, it evaluates the feasibility of the developed media for Automotive Engineering Education students at Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo in terms of effectiveness, ease of use, content relevance, and visual and functional appeal. Third, the study analyzes the effect of the media on improving students’ learning motivation, including learning interest, active participation, and persistence in understanding automotive materials. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach involving purposively selected students from the Automotive Engineering Education program. Data were collected using questionnaires to assess media feasibility and student responses. Data analysis consisted of a normality test, homogeneity test, and a t-test to identify significant differences between pre- and post-intervention learning outcomes. The results indicate that the developed learning media is feasible and effective, and has a positive impact on students’ learning motivation and learning outcomes at Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo.

Student organizations in schools play an important role as social institutions that support character building and the development of students’ social and leadership skills. However, in practice, many students still perceive school organizations merely as formal or administrative activities, resulting in low participation and limited understanding of their educational value. This condition highlights the need for socialization activities that emphasize meaningful organizational learning. This community service activity aims to strengthen students’ understanding of the role of school organizations as social learning spaces. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving 30 eleventh-grade students at SMK Muhammadiyah 04 Boyolali. Data were collected through observation, discussion notes, and students’ responses during interactive sessions.The activity was conducted through teacher coordination, material preparation, material presentation, and discussion and question-and-answer sessions. The results indicate an improvement in students’ understanding of the functions and benefits of student organizations as social institutions. Students showed increased awareness of the importance of cooperation, discipline, responsibility, and communication, as well as greater motivation to actively participate in school organizations. These findings suggest that participatory and dialogical socialization is effective in promoting meaningful organizational learning and supporting students’ character development.
