Understanding mathematical concepts is a fundamental ability that elementary school students must possess, particularly in multiplication, which serves as a foundation for learning more advanced mathematical topics. Based on the conditions observed in the fourth-grade class at UPT SDN 185 Gresik, there are still students who do not fully understand the concept of multiplication, as the learning process tends to emphasize memorization rather than conceptual understanding. In addition, differences in learning styles and gender are suspected to influence students’ conceptual understanding abilities. Therefore, this study aims to describe the conceptual understanding of fourth-grade students in multiplication, viewed from their learning styles and gender.This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method, with six fourth-grade students of UPT SDN 185 Gresik as the research subjects. Data were collected through learning style questionnaires, concept understanding tests and questionnaires, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, based on indicators of conceptual understanding. Data validity was ensured using triangulation of techniques, sources, and time. The results of the study indicate that auditory learners tend to have better conceptual understanding compared to visual and kinesthetic learners, and female students outperform male students. Based on these findings, teachers need to implement differentiated instruction tailored to students’ learning styles: using diagrams, images, and colored multiplication tables for visual learners; applying discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and repeated verbal explanations for auditory learners; and utilizing concrete teaching aids along with hands-on activities for kinesthetic learners to optimize conceptual understanding.

The era of globalization and the rapid advancement of information technology have transformed the landscape of dakwah (Islamic propagation), shifting from conventional pulpits to virtual communication platforms (social media, podcasts, streaming). This transition, in line with the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, enables Islamic messages to reach a broad audience without geographical boundaries. Digital dakwah is highly relevant and urgent to research given the dominant use of social media by Muslim Youth, a group that seeks attention but also possesses a tendency toward critical thinking. This research has a dual aim: (1) to analyze the Interpretation of Muslim Youth towards virtual dakwah studies, and (2) to analyze the Effectiveness of Implementing Dakwah Studies through social media platforms. The accessibility of fragmented and competitive content makes the interpretation process active and crucial, where youth are no longer passive recipients but choose sources based on algorithms and their own interests. This study uses the Constructivism Paradigm to understand a dynamic and complex social reality, employing a Descriptive Qualitative Approach and the Online Ethnography Method. Data is collected through Observation, Interviews, and Documentation, with Data Triangulation (source, technique, and time) to ensure the validity of the findings. Social media holds great potential as an effective and inclusive dakwah tool. However, the effectiveness of its expansion must be balanced with the quality of the content and the capacity of Muslim Youth to perform critical, contextual, and responsible interpretation.

This study analyzes multi-stakeholder collaboration in innovation-based regional development planning at the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Sidoarjo Regency, emphasizing institutional mechanisms, data integration and digital innovation, joint financing schemes, and actor capacity and participation dynamics. The research focuses on the need to improve the effectiveness of development planning through planned, participatory, and data-driven intersectoral collaboration. Applying a qualitative case study approach, information was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of planning documents. It was then analyzed using data reduction, thematic grouping, and source triangulation techniques. The research findings indicate that institutional synergy has been realized through formal forums such as development planning meetings and group discussions. However, coordination remains suboptimal due to overlapping roles between regional government agencies and the lack of a sustainable collaborative mechanism. Digital data integration still faces challenges due to limited platform content and user technical capabilities, resulting in data utilization not fully supporting evidence-based decisions. In terms of financing, collaborative schemes have begun to be implemented but are inconsistent, particularly in combining funding sources from various sectors. The capabilities of actors show striking differences, which impact the quality of public engagement and the efficiency of facilitating the planning process. Overall, these results confirm that the effectiveness of innovative planning is largely determined by the integration of digital systems, strengthening collaboration between stakeholders, and enhancing institutional capacity. This study suggests designing a more organized, interactive, and long-term multi-actor synergy model.

The development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 to the Society 5.0 era presents new challenges for education, including Islamic Religious Education (PAI). PAI is required not only to transfer religious knowledge but also to shape character, morality, and 21st-century competencies. This study aims to examine the philosophical foundations, characteristics, and application of PAI learning models to ensure their relevance in modern education. The research employed a qualitative approach with a library research design, involving the exploration of primary and secondary literature, critical reading, systematic note-taking, and content analysis validated through triangulation of classical and contemporary sources. The findings indicate that PAI learning models are conceptual, theoretical, systematic, and rooted in religious, philosophical, psychological, and sociological foundations. Four main models behavioristic, information processing, social, and humanistic each have strengths and limitations, yet their integration is relevant to forming insan kamil, a holistic human being balanced in cognitive, affective, psychomotor, spiritual, and social aspects. Therefore, developing PAI learning models based on Islamic philosophy and adaptive to technological advancements is a strategic necessity to face global challenges.

This study aims to improve early childhood learning activities by utilizing vacant land as a nature center at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 50 Kindergarten, Surabaya. The underlying problem is the lack of variety in early childhood learning, which tends to be limited to the classroom and the suboptimal use of the surrounding environment as a learning resource. This study used a qualitative approach with the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, conducted in two cycles. The subjects were 15 children in Group B, characterized by active learning but limited focus on learning and environmental exploration. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data validity was tested through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results showed that children's learning activities increased significantly after the implementation of nature-center-based learning. Children became more active, enthusiastic, and were able to interact better with their environment and peers. Activities such as planting, watering, observing insects, and maintaining garden cleanliness provided meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences. In addition, the utilization of vacant land was an effective solution in creating a contextual and child-friendly learning atmosphere. The environment around the school was optimally utilized as a learning medium appropriate to the development of early childhood. This study concluded that the nature center significantly contributed to increasing children's learning activities. Therefore, this nature-based learning model can be recommended as an innovation in early childhood learning for other educational units. 

This study aims to explain and reconstruct the notion of auditor professionalism beyond the reasoning framework found in the accountants’ code of ethics. The reconstruction is carried out by redefining auditor professionalism through the integration of moral reasoning and the values derived from QS. Al-Isra (36), as a response to the issue of fraud disclosure. The research adopts a non-technical perspective on auditor professionalism. Accordingly, the appropriate method for this study is Theoretical Triangulation, namely testing auditor professionalism from the perspective of moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36). Specifically, the research begins by utilizing three sources of values: the Handbook of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, principles of moral reasoning, and the guidance in QS. Al-Isra (36). Second, the study identifies the limitations of conventional interpretations of auditor professionalism when examined solely from ethical codes, and further analyzes how moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36) enrich this perspective. Third, the concept of auditor professionalism is reconstructed in a holistic manner. Finally, the study concludes whether moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36) are interrelated with the auditors’ professionalism in uncovering fraud. Ultimately, this article proposes a revised conception of auditor professionalism. By incorporating moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36), auditor professionalism is envisioned as transcending rationalism and materialism. It is defined as a commitment to uphold the accountants’ code of ethics, grounded in justice and virtue, with an awareness that every action will be held accountable in the hereafter.
