Haul Guru Sekumpul is one of the biggest religious traditions in Indonesia that brings together millions of participants from various regions to commemorate KH. Muhammad Zaini Abdul Ghani, better known as Guru Sekumpul. This activity not only serves as a religious commemoration, but also reflects the value of togetherness, solidarity, and deep spirituality. This research aims to reinforce the argument that in fact the feedback process between group involvement and emotional reactions strengthens solidarity, both in mechanical and organic contexts, thus creating deeper social bonds. Thus, mechanical and organic solidarity are not separate but interrelated. Through a qualitative approach, this research analyzes how mechanical and organic solidarity interact with each other in the context of this activity. The results show that mechanical solidarity, characterized by shared values and beliefs, serves as the foundation for a more complex organic solidarity, where individuals with different roles depend on each other. The findings also serve as a critique of Émile Durkheim's theory of solidarity. In addition, the use of social media and traditional media plays an important role in disseminating information and organizing activities, creating a sense of community among congregants. This is also a new additional factor that is in line with the changing times but was previously undeveloped during Émile Durkheim's time. Thus, Haul Guru Sekumpul is not only a religious event, but also a symbol of collective power that binds people in a common goal, creating a harmonious and respectful community.

These findings affirm that differentiated instruction can serve as an adaptive strategy in Indonesian language learning at junior high school level.

Teachers, as professionals, play a crucial role in managing learning in the classroom. One essential skill that teachers must have is managerial skills, which involve organizing learning activities, setting up the learning environment, and applying suitable methods for learning tasks. In the context of differentiated learning focused on student needs, teacher managerial competence is vital for designing and managing instruction tailored to each student's requirements. Differentiated learning is an approach that emphasizes meeting the needs, interests, and learning styles of individual students. This study was conducted using a literature review method, drawing data from various sources including books, articles, and relevant previous research. The review shows that for successful differentiated learning, teachers need to implement managerial strategies for identifying students’ learning needs, managing content, processes, learning products, and conducting regular formative assessments. Furthermore, teachers must create an environment that supports the learning process through strong collaboration among students, between teachers and students, and with parents. Therefore, improving teacher managerial skills is one way to achieve inclusive learning and accommodate student diversity.

This study discusses the role of Islamic educational philosophy in guiding the transformation of pesantren education in the modern era. Islamic education in Indonesia plays an important role in shaping students’ character, spirituality, and intellectual abilities, with pesantren as one of the oldest institutions that preserve Islamic values. However, the rapid development of globalization and technology requires pesantren to adapt without losing their identity.

He rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed human life, particularly in the way information is accessed, processed, and distributed. While this development brings numerous benefits, it also generates serious challenges such as information overload, misinformation, and the decline of critical thinking skills among digital users. This study aims to examine the relevance of the philosophical thought of Al-Kindi on intellect (aql) and knowledge in addressing these contemporary issues within the digital era. The research employs a qualitative approach through library research, analyzing classical philosophical texts and contemporary scholarly works related to epistemology and digital literacy. The findings show that Al-Kindi positions intellect as the primary faculty of human beings in understanding truth and organizing knowledge systematically and rationally. According to Al-Kindi, knowledge must be grounded in logical reasoning to achieve certainty and clarity. In the context of the digital era, this perspective is highly relevant as individuals are required to critically evaluate vast and unfiltered information circulating in digital spaces. This study concludes that Al-Kindi’s rational philosophy provides a strong intellectual foundation for developing digital literacy, strengthening critical thinking skills, and promoting responsible engagement with technology in modern society.

This study contributes to the understanding of environmental advocacy practices and highlights the need for strengthening advocacy strategies to achieve more effective policy influence and sustainable environmental governance.

General elections constitute a fundamental pillar of Indonesia’s democratic system, functioning as a mechanism for the exercise of popular sovereignty and the protection of citizens’ voting rights. During the 2024 Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD) election in Tarakan City, the Badan Pengawas Pemilu Kota Tarakan recorded twelve reports of alleged administrative violations throughout the electoral stages, including during the national vote recapitulation process. Of these reports, three allegations were proven, involving violations related to the Additional Voter List, the Special Voter List, and the eligibility requirements of candidates running for the Tarakan City DPRD in 2024. Essentially, election law enforcement serves as a safeguard to ensure fairness, legal certainty, and the protection of citizens’ constitutional right to vote. This study aims to examine the implementation of legal enforcement mechanisms against administrative violations in the 2024 Tarakan City DPRD election. A socio-legal research approach was employed to analyze both normative regulations and their practical application. Referring to Peraturan Bawaslu Nomor 8 Tahun 2022 concerning the Settlement of Administrative Violations of General Elections, the findings indicate that the Tarakan City Bawaslu holds authority in adjudicating and imposing sanctions on proven violations. As a result, one candidate, Erick Hendrawan Septian Putra, was disqualified from Electoral District 1. Furthermore, sanctions were imposed on the chairpersons and members of Polling Station 88 in Karang Anyar and Polling Station 2 in Pamusian for failing to carry out their duties as voting organizing groups in the election and subsequent processes.

This study examines the application of Walter Murch's Rule of Six as a post-production decision-making framework for the Instagram Reels content on the Tenchi Tirtayasa account. This project addresses the challenge of bridging the gap between the image of a premium restaurant and the necessity to convey a warmer, more accessible brand experience through short-form videos. A descriptive project-based methodology was employed, involving the observation of the production process, documentation of the editing workflow, analysis of Episode 3 of the Reels series, and review of Instagram Reels Insights as the data. The analysis reveals that the six priorities of editing—Emotion, Story, Rhythm, eye-trace, Two-dimensional screen space, and Three-dimensional action space—assisted the editor in selecting shots, organizing visual sequences, managing pacing, and maintaining spatial continuity in the vertical 9:16 format. Episode 3 garnered 9,132 Views, 229 Likes, 10 Comments, 9 Shares, and a 93.4% non-follower reach rate. These findings suggest that a Rule of Six-based workflow can enhance soft-selling Storytelling, reinforce visual consistency, and improve the communicative value of restaurant reel content.

The rapid development of digital technology has fostered an instant culture that prioritizes results over processes, leading to a diminished appreciation of character formation through persistence and repetition. This study aims to examine scriptwriting strategies in the production of a feature video entitled “Ballet: Repeated Steps, Formed Self” as a representation of the value of process in character development. This research employs a qualitative practice-based approach, focusing on the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production, particularly the role of the scriptwriter in constructing the narrative structure. The findings indicate that the application of a human interest approach through the integration of interviews, practice visuals, and voice-over narration produces a reflective and communicative storytelling experience. Furthermore, the systematic use of a three-act structure proves effective in organizing the dramatic flow, enabling audiences to better understand the conveyed message. Scriptwriting serves as the fundamental framework in guiding narrative construction and audiovisual integration. The implications of this study suggest that well-planned scriptwriting strategies can enhance message delivery in social issue-based feature video production while reinforcing the role of audiovisual media as a reflective medium for understanding the value of process in contemporary society.

The development of audiovisual media in the digital era provides a significant opportunity for conveying information, particularly regarding social and cultural issues. One interesting phenomenon is the acculturation of Peranakan Chinese cuisine in Indonesia, which is currently becoming less well-known among the younger generation. This study aims to represent this acculturation process through a documentary film entitled "Jejak Rasa" (Traces of Taste), using a naturalistic visual approach. The method used is a qualitative approach with field observation, interviews, and documentation strategies, integrated with a community organizing process. The research subjects included Peranakan Chinese culinary practitioners in Bandung, such as culinary business owners and museum guides. The production process consisted of three main stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. The naturalistic approach was implemented through the use of predominantly eye-level camera angles, minimal camera movement, and the use of natural lighting to produce authentic visuals. The results of the study indicate that documentary films can be an effective medium for representing cultural values, history, and culinary identity as part of the acculturation process. Thus, this work serves not only as a medium of information but also as an effort to preserve culture relevant to the development of modern media.
