This study aims to analyze the authority of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Sukabumi City based on Government Regulation Number 12 of 2018 concerning Guidelines for the Preparation of Standing Orders of Regional People's Representative Councils of Provinces, Regencies, and Cities. The authority of the DPRD is a crucial element in ensuring the effective implementation of regional governance under the principle of check and balances. This research employs a normative juridical legal research method with a descriptive-analytical specification. The approaches used include the statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. The analysis is conducted using the Authority Theory of Philipus M. Hadjon, which classifies sources of authority into attribution, delegation, and mandate. The results indicate that the authority of the DPRD of Sukabumi City in exercising its supervisory function originates from constitutional attribution directly conferred by Article 20A paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, reinforced by Law Number 17 of 2014, Law Number 23 of 2014, and operationalized through Government Regulation Number 12 of 2018 Articles 19, 21, and 22. Such authority is imperative in nature, not merely discretionary. Failure to exercise it constitutes a violation of the constitutional mandate, resulting in what Hadjon refers to as a legal oversight vacuum that enables systematic and recurring legal violations.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Al-Miftah method in improving the mastery of reading traditional Islamic texts at Al-Mashhad Senior High School in Cijurai, Sukabumi. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of Al-Miftah teachers, students, and related parties. The results of the study indicate that the Al-Miftah method is implemented through the stages of introducing the basic rules of nahwu-sharaf, practicing reading traditional Islamic texts in stages, and strengthening understanding through repetition and direct practice. The implementation of this method has been proven to help students understand the structure of Arabic and improve their ability to read traditional Islamic texts, although several obstacles were still encountered, such as differences in students' Arabic language backgrounds, limited learning time, minimal independent practice, and limited mastery of the method by teachers. Efforts made to overcome these obstacles include learning grouping, time optimization, out-of-class practice assistance, and improving teacher competency through continuous training and evaluation. Thus, the Al-Miftah method has a positive contribution in increasing mastery of reading traditional books at Al-Mashhad Cijurai Sukabumi High School if supported by appropriate and continuous learning strategies

This study aims to describe the implementation of ethical philosophy learning and the assessment pattern for student learning outcomes at the KH. Ahmad Sanusi Sukabumi Institute (INKHAS). Ethical philosophy is understood as a critical study of good and bad values in human actions, which not only accepts moral teachings normatively, but examines them rationally and in depth. In the learning process, this course applies discussion and dialogue methods as the main approach to encourage students to think critically, express opinions argumentatively, and build mutual respect. The lecturer acts as a facilitator who directs the discussion, instills academic ethics, and maintains a scientific learning flow. The assessment pattern does not focus on memorizing theories, but rather on students' analytical abilities as measured through discussion participation, individual assignments, and group assignments. The results of the study indicate that this method is effective in developing students' conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and moral awareness, although obstacles such as lack of motivation in some students due to the abstract nature of the material are still found. Overall, ethical philosophy learning at INKHAS plays an important role in shaping ethical character, reflective thinking, and responsible attitudes in academic and social life.

This study aims to describe the implementation of learning methods, assessment systems, and learning evaluation in the Philosophy of Science course at STAI Al-Andina Sukabumi, particularly for first-semester students. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the course lecturer to explore the rationale for selecting the lecture method, assessment practices, and evaluation strategies applied in the learning process. The findings indicate that the lecture method combined with guided discussion was chosen as an adaptive strategy to help students develop a conceptual foundation for abstract and theoretical material. The assessment system places greater emphasis on student attendance and participation as a form of process-oriented assessment that encourages active engagement. Learning evaluation is conducted continuously through technology-based quizzes to monitor students’ understanding progressively. These results suggest that the Philosophy of Science learning process at STAI Al-Andina has adopted a contextual and formative pedagogical approach; however, further development of more varied assessment and evaluation methods is still needed to accommodate students’ diverse abilities.

Public street lighting (PJU) is an important infrastructure in supporting the safety and comfort of road users. The provision of PJU is the responsibility of the Sukabumi Regency Transportation Agency, which must be carried out in accordance with Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 47 of 2023 concerning Street Lighting Equipment. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Sukabumi Regency Transportation Agency in providing PJU in the Kadudampit District. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection was carried out through field observations, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the provision of PJU in Kadudampit Subdistrict is not yet fully effective, as indicated by the existence of PJU that is not functioning optimally and uneven distribution. The main obstacles faced include budget and maintenance limitations. Nevertheless, the implementation of street lighting provision has been in accordance with the provisions of Permenhub No. 47 of 2023. Therefore, improved planning and supervision are needed to increase the effectiveness of street lighting provision.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Nusantara Islamic values ​​in multicultural education within the Integrated Islamic School (SIT) Al-Ftih environment. Nusantara Islam, as a religious concept characterized by moderation, tolerance, and accommodating local culture, has high relevance in developing education that respects diversity.Meanwhile, multicultural education emphasizes equality, inclusivity, and recognition of students' cultural identities.This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques included interviews, observation, and documentation, and its validity was tested through triangulation. The study results indicate that the integration of Nusantara Islamic values ​​in SIT Al-Fatih Sukabumi remains partial, primarily limited to thematic religious activities and has not yet systematically addressed the curriculum, pedagogy, or school culture. Supporting factors for implementation include the availability of local culture, support from some teachers, and religious moderation policies. Inhibiting factors include a lack of teacher training, the dominance of Middle Eastern Islamic references, and a lack of multicultural evaluation instruments.This study concludes that a comprehensive implementation model that integrates Islam Nusantara into the curriculum, learning, and school culture is needed. Recommendations include developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for religious moderation based on local wisdom, teacher training, and developing evaluation instruments for the internalization of Islam Nusantara values.

This study aims to thoroughly examine the triadic relationship among the Internalization of Aswaja An-Nahdliyah Values, the Pedagogic Competence of Ustadz/Ustadzah, and the Academic Supervision by the Kyai at the Salafi Sunanul Huda Islamic Boarding School in Sukabumi Regency. The research urgency is based on the vital role of the pesantren (Islamic boarding school) as a fortress of moderate ideology and the existence of a research gap that has not holistically integrated these three variables within the specific Salafi-Nahdliyyah context of the locus. The Aswaja An-Nahdliyah values central to the internalization process include Tawasuth (moderation), Tasamuh (tolerance), I'tidal (justice/firmness), Tawazun (balance), and Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Munkar (enjoining good and forbidding wrong). This internalization is carried out through the formal curriculum (teaching Kitab Kuning using the Sorogan and Bandongan methods) and the non-curricular aspects (Kyai/Ustadz role-modeling and pesantren living values). The study utilizes a qualitative approach with a Case Study design. Data collection employs Method Triangulation involving In-depth Interviews (Kyai, Ustadz, Students), Limited Participatory Observation (learning processes and cultural activities), and Document Study (Lesson Plans, curriculum, and supervision reports). Data analysis employs the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (Data Condensation, Data Display, and Conclusion Drawing). The research findings are expected to formulate the Integrated Model of Triguna Santri in Aswaja An-Nahdliyah Internalization, which synergizes traditional pesantren methods with culture-based quality assurance. Practically, these findings will provide blueprints for quality assurance (Cultural-Authoritative Academic Supervision) and recommendations for pedagogical strategies for Ustadz/Ustadzah to enhance the transfer of values from the cognitive level to the affective and behavioral domains. This model is expected to become a benchmark for developing educator competence and strengthening religious moderation in similar pesantren.

The low level of students’ understanding of religious practices and Islamic values in daily life poses a significant challenge in teaching Islamic Religious Education (PAI). In the topic of “Hajj and Umrah” for Grade IX students at SMP PGRI Bencoy, Cireunghas District, Sukabumi, the learning process plays a vital role in shaping Islamic character and instilling noble morals. This subject not only emphasizes theoretical knowledge but also promotes a deeper understanding of the procedures for performing Hajj and Umrah in accordance with Islamic law. This study aims to critically analyze the learning objectives, content, methods, evaluation, references, and teaching materials used by teachers in the instructional process. A qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, as well as an analysis of learning documents. The findings reveal that PAI instruction on the topic of Hajj and Umrah is aligned with the basic competencies and curriculum requirements. However, shortcomings remain in the relevance of the material to real-life contexts, the limited use of technological media, and the less-than-optimal assessment of affective and psychomotor domains. Strengthening students’ understanding of Islamic teachings in their daily lives is essential for developing a holistic Islamic personality. Overall, while the teaching materials are relatively appropriate, further development is needed to make them more applicable, contextual, and impactful in enhancing students’ comprehension and practice of Islamic teachings in everyday life.

This study aims to examine the role of academic supervision in improving student learning motivation at SMP IT YASPIDA SUKABUMI. Academic supervision is a systematic coaching effort for teachers to improve the quality of classroom learning. Student learning motivation is a crucial indicator of the success of the learning process, therefore, appropriate strategies are needed to improve it. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research was conducted with the goal of understanding how academic supervision influences teachers' pedagogical competence and, in turn, affects student motivation. The results show that structured and continuous academic supervision can significantly improve teachers' pedagogical competence, which in turn has a positive impact on student learning motivation. Collaborative supervision, providing constructive feedback, and focusing on improving the learning process have proven effective in creating a conducive and motivating learning environment. Teachers who receive regular supervision become more reflective and are better able to adapt their teaching strategies to meet students' needs. Consequently, this results in higher student engagement and a more enthusiastic learning atmosphere. Thus, academic supervision plays a strategic role in encouraging student learning enthusiasm by improving the quality of learning and ensuring that students are motivated to achieve better academic outcomes. This study highlights the importance of continuous academic supervision in fostering a positive learning environment and motivating students.

This study aims to determine the role of academic supervision in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers at SMA Plus Al Raihan Sukabumi. Academic supervision is a strategic effort undertaken by the school to ensure the quality of learning runs according to established standards, and to help teachers develop their professional skills, particularly in the pedagogical aspect. Pedagogical competence itself includes teachers' abilities to plan, implement, and evaluate the learning process according to the needs of students. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with the principal, teachers, and supervisors to obtain a comprehensive overview of the implementation of supervision. Observations focused on teacher activities during learning, as well as teacher interactions with supervisors during supervision. Documentation was used to supplement data related to the academic supervision program, lesson implementation plans (RPP), and supervision evaluation notes. The results of the study indicate that academic supervision has a significant contribution in improving the quality of planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning carried out by teachers. Through supervision, teachers are encouraged to be more creative and innovative in developing learning methods and media that are appropriate to student needs. In addition, supervision also provides constructive feedback so that teachers can reflect on their teaching practices and make continuous improvements. Academic supervision also encourages the creation of a collaborative atmosphere between teachers and supervisors, thus creating a working relationship that supports improving the quality of education. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of effective academic supervision plays a crucial role in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers at SMA Plus Al Raihan Sukabumi.

This research is based on the importance of relevant and contextual teaching materials that foster understanding and practice of religious values, particularly in the teaching of voluntary fasting at the elementary school level. In the context of Islamic religious education, voluntary fasting material not only aims to provide knowledge but also to shape students' religious character from an early age. The purpose of this study is to critically examine the suitability of the learning objectives, materials, and teaching methods in the teaching materials with the expected competency achievements in the curriculum. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a document study approach, through content analysis of Islamic Religious Education and Character Education teaching materials for grade VI. Data were collected through documentation techniques and interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the teaching materials generally contain voluntary fasting material in accordance with the applicable curriculum. However, there are still shortcomings in aspects of material depth, relevance to students' daily lives, and the diversity of learning methods used. The materials tend to be textual and do not fully encourage students' emotional involvement or spiritual practices. Furthermore, the emphasis on character building and internalization of religious values ​​in students' lives is not optimal. The conclusions of this study indicate the need to develop more applicable, interactive, and contextual teaching materials to improve students' understanding, religious attitudes, and active involvement in consciously and consistently observing the sunnah fast. As a follow-up to these findings, collaboration between teachers, textbook authors, and curriculum developers is crucial to ensure that teaching materials are not only cognitively appropriate.

The low level of students’ understanding of Islamic practices and values in daily life remains a significant challenge in the teaching of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at the elementary school level. The teaching of IRE on the topic “Hajj and Qurban” in Grade V at SDN Bangbayang, Cisolok District, plays a strategic role in shaping Islamic character and instilling noble moral values in students. This study aims to critically examine the learning objectives, teaching materials, instructional methods, evaluation system, references, and teaching resources used in the learning process. The research employed a qualitative approach with data collected through classroom observation, interviews with teachers and students, and an analysis of instructional documents. The findings reveal that, in general, the teaching of IRE in Grade V has been implemented in accordance with the objectives and curriculum standards. Teachers have designed teaching modules based on the basic competencies and learning goals outlined in the curriculum. However, several aspects still require further development. Among these are the limited relevance of the learning materials to students’ everyday experiences, the lack of integration of technology-based media, and an evaluation process that places greater emphasis on cognitive aspects while paying less attention to affective and psychomotor domains. This situation indicates that while the learning process is carried out in line with procedural standards, students’ comprehension of Islamic values in practical and contextual terms remains insufficient. Therefore, strengthening the understanding of Islamic teachings in real-life contexts is essential so that students not only acquire theoretical knowledge but are also able to internalize and practice Islamic values in their daily lives. The teaching module currently used is adequate, yet further development is needed to make learning more practical, contextual, and impactful in fostering a strong Islamic character among students.

This study aims to conduct a critical study of the teaching materials for Islamic Religious Education and Character Building (PABP), specifically on the material "Avoiding Backbiting and Carrying Out Tabayun" used in class VII of SMPIT Takhassus Al-Qur'an Ashabiq. The focus of the study in this study covers several important aspects, namely learning objectives, the material delivered, the learning methods and models applied, evaluation of learning outcomes, and sources and references for teaching materials used by teachers and students. The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through document studies of teaching materials, observations of the learning process in the classroom, interviews with teachers and students, and data validation is carried out through expert audits to ensure the accuracy of the findings. The results show that the teaching materials used have referred to the principles of the Independent Curriculum and the Pancasila Student Profile, which emphasize the development of character and student competencies as a whole. However, several significant weaknesses were found, especially in terms of integration between learning objectives with learning activities and evaluations carried out. Learning materials are structured in a normative and idealistic manner, but they do not adequately accommodate students' real-life contexts, particularly in facing the challenges of today's digital era, which significantly impact how they understand and internalize religious values. Learning evaluation is still dominated by cognitive measures such as written tests and conceptual understanding, while the attitudinal and skill dimensions, which are crucial for character education, have not been optimally measured. Furthermore, the learning resources used are quite limited, relying solely on textbooks and student worksheets (LKS), without any support from contemporary literature or digital media that could enrich the learning process and make it more engaging and relevant to today's students.

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of rainwater on the survival of koi fry. The background of this study is based on the increasing demand for koi fish which encourages breeders to improve the quality and quantity of fry production. However, the success of seeding is influenced by several factors, especially air quality such as temperature and pH. Rainwater is known to have less stable quality, especially due to its low pH value, so it is necessary to study its impact on koi fry. This study was conducted on November 25–28, 2024 in the Bossbaster experimental pond, Legok Nyenang Village, Kadudampit District, Sukabumi Regency. The media used were 15 plastic gallons, each containing 5 liters of air and 40 newly hatched koi fry. The experimental design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatment levels and 3 replications. Treatments included A (100% rainwater), B (75% rainwater + 25% well water), C (50% rainwater + 50% well water), D (25% rainwater + 75% well water), and E (100% well water). The results of the ANOVA test showed that there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the survival value of koi fish fry in the five treatments. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of rainwater does not have a significant effect on the survival of koi fish fry. In addition, the results of water quality observations showed that all parameters were still within the standard quality range, except for the temperature which was slightly below the standard.

This study aims to find out the role of the El-Diina Sukabumi Play Group (KB) in improving the quality of early childhood education. The background of this research is based on the importance of early childhood education institutions as the main foundation in shaping children's character and basic abilities, especially in the midst of increasing demands on the quality of national education. Quality early childhood education is one of the important factors in supporting children's optimal growth and development from an early age, both from cognitive and emotional aspects. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation as the main methods in data collection. The research subjects included school principals, teachers, and parents of students at KB El-Diina Sukabumi who were selected purposively in accordance with the research objectives. The results of the study show that KB El-Diina has implemented various strategies in improving the quality of educational services, including the implementation of a character-based curriculum, regular teacher training, active involvement of parents in the learning process, and the creation of a safe, comfortable, and fun learning environment for children. In addition, the use of learning methods that are in accordance with the child's developmental stage is also one of the success factors of the institution in improving the quality of education. The findings show that these efforts have a positive impact on children's cognitive, social, emotional, and motor development. Children look more confident, independent, and active in daily learning activities in the classroom and outdoors. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of professional, sustainable, and adaptive management of family planning institutions to the needs of children's development. This is the foundation for creating quality, relevant, and holistic child development early childhood education services.

Rainwater is often considered to have a negative impact on the survival of fish fry, mainly due to its slightly acidic pH. However, this study aims to investigate the effect of rainwater on the survival rate of comet fish fry (Carassius auratus). The research was conducted at the Bossbaster experimental pond, Legok Nyenang Village, Kadudampit District, Sukabumi Regency, over a period of three days. The fish fry used were one day old after hatching, with a size of approximately 5 mm. The study utilized 15 containers with a water volume of 10 liters per gallon and 15 aeration devices to maintain water circulation. Five treatments were tested: A (100% rainwater), B (75% rainwater), C (50% rainwater), D (25% rainwater), and E (0% rainwater). The research design followed a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications for each treatment. The data were analyzed using the Median Test and Regression Test to maximize the obtained results. The results showed that rainwater did not significantly affect the survival rate of comet fish fry. The survival rate of the fry in all treatments ranged from 98.33% to 99.17%. This indicates that although rainwater has a lower pH, it does not significantly affect the survival of comet fish fry. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the rainwater taken from the research site did not negatively impact the survival rate of comet fish fry. The quality of the rainwater used in this study is safe and can be used as a medium for raising fish fry without causing a decrease in their survival rate. This study provides valuable information on the use of rainwater in fish farming, especially for comet fish fry.

Community-based education is an approach that positions society as an active participant in the educational process, integrating local culture, values, and social dynamics into learning. One such model that reflects these principles is the Wustho educational model, which originates from the Islamic pesantren system. This model offers a balanced integration between religious and general education, emphasizing the role of community and character development as essential elements of student success. This research aims to explore the influence of the Wustho model on students’ academic achievement at SMP PGRI 1 Ciambar, Ciambar Sub-district, Sukabumi Regency. The study involved 150 students across different grade levels, using a qualitative descriptive research approach. Data collection techniques included participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, school leaders, and parents, as well as document analysis of academic performance records.The findings indicate that the implementation of the Wustho model has a positive impact on student achievement, both in academic and behavioral aspects. Students showed improvement in learning motivation, discipline, and active engagement in religious and community-based learning activities.¹ This model also strengthens moral values and spiritual awareness, which in turn enhances students’ holistic learning outcomes.² Moreover, collaboration between schools, families, and community figures plays a crucial role in reinforcing the effectiveness of this educational approach.³ The presence of religious instruction embedded within daily learning experiences helps students to better contextualize academic content in real-life situations.⁴In conclusion, the Wustho educational model offers a meaningful contribution to the development of community-based education practices, especially in rural or religiously active areas. Its focus on moral education, community involvement, and the integration of spiritual and secular knowledge demonstrates its relevance and effectiveness in improving student learning outcomes. It is recommended that similar models be adapted in other educational settings where community values are strongly upheld.

This study aims to analyze the efforts made by the Sukabumi City Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) in enforcing Mayor Regulation Number 05 of 2014 concerning restrictions on the operating hours of night entertainment venues. The regulation was implemented to maintain public order, reduce social disturbances, and ensure community comfort, particularly during nighttime hours in urban environments. Using a sociological legal approach with qualitative methods, data were collected through interviews with relevant stakeholders, field observations, and literature reviews. The findings reveal that Satpol PP has undertaken various enforcement efforts, including routine patrols to monitor venue compliance, educational outreach to business owners regarding regulations, and administrative sanctions such as written warnings and temporary closures for violators. Despite these initiatives, several challenges hinder the optimal enforcement of the regulation. These include limited human resources and operational infrastructure within Satpol PP, inconsistent public awareness of the regulation, and resistance from certain business actors who view the regulation as a barrier to economic activity and local tourism development. Moreover, coordination between relevant agencies, such as tourism and licensing departments, remains suboptimal. This study emphasizes the need for stronger inter-agency synergy, increased budget allocation, and ongoing public education to foster better compliance. It also suggests capacity-building programs for enforcement officers and the implementation of community-based monitoring systems to enhance transparency and support. In conclusion, although Satpol PP has shown commitment to implementing the regulation, the effectiveness of enforcement can be significantly improved through strategic resource optimization, cross-sector collaboration, and a participatory approach involving both authorities and the community.

This research aims to analyze the role of the Department of Transportation in supervising violations of the operational hours of container trucks and bottled drinking water (AMDK) based on the Regional Regulation of Sukabumi Regency Number 17 of 2013. This regulation is implemented as an effort to control the negative impacts of heavy vehicles operating outside the designated hours, including traffic congestion, road damage, and disruptions to the safety of other road users. The research method used is normative-empirical with a field study approach and conducting in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, such as the Department of Transportation, law enforcement officers, and transportation business operators. Research findings indicate that the Transportation Department of Sukabumi Regency has carried out its supervisory role through regular patrol activities, the placement of operational prohibition signs, and conducting socialization to drivers and transportation companies. However, there are still challenges in the implementation of supervision, such as limited human resources, lack of supporting facilities, and minimal coordination between different sectors.
