This research aims to analyze and compare traditional Islamic education systems in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, focusing on institutional aspects, education systems, learning methods, and curricula. Using a literature study method with a descriptive qualitative approach, this research examines various relevant literature regarding the dynamics of Islamic education in Southeast Asia. The results show that the three countries share fundamental similarities in educational forms, such as pesantren or pondok, which focus on Islamic sciences and moral cultivation. However, significant differences exist in management patterns and the level of integration with government policies. Indonesia maintains a variety of salaf and modern pesantren, Malaysia exhibits a more structured system integrated with the state, while Thailand specifically in the Patani region tends to be adaptive in response to its Muslim minority status. This comparison concludes that the development of traditional Islamic education systems in each country is heavily influenced by the respective social and political contexts.

This research aims to analyze how gender and culture are represented in the Grade VIII Indonesian language textbook of the Merdeka Curriculum. The focus is on various aspects of gender representation, such as the depiction of characters, their roles, activities, attributes, social status, gender equality, and stereotypes related to gender. Additionally, the study explores cultural representation, which encompasses cultural forms, diversity, local traditions, context, ways of presentation, and the cultural values expressed in the textbook's texts and illustrations. The methodology employed is descriptive qualitative research with a content analysis framework. Data were gathered through documenting and note-taking methods on the content of the textbook, followed by an analysis process that includes identification, classification, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. Findings indicate that the gender representation in the textbook predominantly portrays men as leading figures in public roles, leadership, and decision-making, whereas women are mainly shown in nurturing, domestic, and supportive capacities. On the other hand, the cultural representation illustrates the variety of Indonesian culture by showcasing regional customs, languages, art forms, traditional cuisine, practices, and societal norms. The study concludes that although the textbook presents cultural diversity adequately, there is a need for improvement in gender representation balance to better reflect equality values in the educational experience.

Soybean is an important food commodity in Indonesia because it is the main raw material for tofu and tempeh, two major protein sources widely consumed by the population. However, domestic soybean production remains far below national demand resulting in heavy dependence on imports. In contrast maize is increasingly preferred by farmers due to its higher productivity and a more stable economic value. Therefore, maize–soybean intercropping has emerged as a promising strategy to improve land-use efficiency while increasing soybean production without reducing maize cultivation. This study systematically mapped and synthesized maize–soybean intercropping research in Indonesia and conducted a meta-analysis of Land Equivalent Ratio LER values reported across studies. Literature searches using Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar identified 179 eligible publications published between 1978 and 2023. Most studies focused on agronomic factors such as variety selection spacing arrangement and fertilizer management. Meta-analysis showed average LER values of 1.47 ± 0.046 for maize–soybean intercropping and 1.36 ± 0.081 for maize–mung bean intercropping indicating advantages over monoculture systems. However, inconsistencies in methodology and reporting standards limited study comparability and sustainability assessments. Future research should integrate ecological, social, and long-term economic indicators alongside standardized reporting frameworks to strengthen evidence-based intercropping recommendations nationally for sustainable agriculture.

The development of fine motor skills and collaborative character is an essential foundation during the golden age period to support children’s academic readiness and social development.

The implementation methods included teacher workshops, classroom application with students through collaborative constructive play activities, and evaluation of learning achievements. The findings revealed a significant improvement in children’s fine motor skills, with the average score increasing from 1.67 in the Pre-Test to 3.27 in the Post-Test. Furthermore, 60% of the children achieved the Very Well Developed (BSB) category in collaborative character development. Through the use of Straw Connectorsmedia, students were able to create complex architectural products such as construction bridges and windmills. The study concludes that Straw Connectorsmedia is effective in improving visual-motor coordination, creativity, and collaborative skills while fostering social empathy through interdependent interaction among children during the learning process.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how Islamic Religious Education (PAI) instructors at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah (MDT) Nurhidayatullah perceive incentive strategies as boosting student learning motivation. The poor learning motivation of students at non-formal Islamic educational institutions serves as the study's backdrop. Teachers must use a variety of tactics, including rewarding students. In this study, descriptive approaches are combined with a qualitative approach. Participant observation, documentation studies, and in-depth interviews were used to gather data. Purposive sampling was used to choose five PAI instructors from MDT Nurhidayatullah to serve as study informants. The Miles and Huberman approach, which covers data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions/verification, was used to analyze the data. The study's conclusions showed that instructors see incentive systems favorably and believe they are a useful tactic for boosting students' interest in and engagement with PAI learning. Verbal compliments, award stickers, extra credits, little presents, and public acknowledgment in front of the class are some of the prizes that are offered. Teachers believe that rewarding children may boost their intrinsic motivation, boost their self-esteem, improve the classroom environment, and promote healthy competition among students. However, teachers also identify several challenges, including the potential for students to become dependent on rewards, the need for fairness in reward distribution, and budget limitations. The implication of this research suggests that the reward method should be implemented systematically with clear criteria and gradually directed toward building students' intrinsic motivation in learning Islamic religious education.

Multicultural competence refers to an individual's capacity to navigate and value the diversity within their environment. This skill is essential for all strata of Indonesian society, given Indonesia's diversity in ethnicities, cultures, languages, and faiths. Teachers occupy a pivotal role in fostering multicultural competency within society, as they engage directly with pupils on a regular basis. Teacher intercultural competency has three primary dimensions: knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Multicultural knowledge can be acquired through multiple avenues, including formal education, specialised training, or firsthand experience with varied populations. Multicultural education seeks to equip students with an awareness of the complexities of variety in society, enabling them to coexist amicably. The fundamental principles of multicultural education encompass equality, democracy, pluralism, and tolerance. Educators, as pivotal participants in the educational process, are anticipated to comprehend multicultural values conceptually and to incorporate them into everyday instructional activities. Consequently, the multicultural competency of educators may cultivate students who are not only academically proficient but also possess an inclusive mindset, value diversity, and are prepared to engage in a pluralistic society.

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition characterized by height below the age standard. This study aims to analyze the dietary patterns of stunted toddlers in the Parigi Community Health Center, Muna Regency, in 2025. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Informants consisted of mothers who had stunted toddlers as key informants and Posyandu cadres as supporting informants selected by purposive sampling. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions with triangulation validity tests. The results showed that feeding practices for stunted toddlers were still not in accordance with recommendations. All informants had carried out Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD), but exclusive breastfeeding was not optimal due to the perception of insufficient breast milk. Complementary breastfeeding (MP-ASI) tended to be given before the age of 6 months, influenced by the assumption that babies were hungry when they cried and cultural habits. The frequency of toddler meals was irregular, the type of food was dominated by porridge, and food variety was still limited. Consumption of animal side dishes, vegetables, and fruit was also not routinely provided. In conclusion, the dietary patterns of stunted toddlers in the study area do not meet the principles of balanced nutrition and are still influenced by family knowledge and habits. Therefore, increased education for mothers and families regarding appropriate feeding practices is needed to support optimal toddler growth and development.

This study aims to analyze the values ​​of Civic Education (PKn) in learning at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic elementary schools) through a literature study approach. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research type, utilizing various written sources such as scientific journals, reference books, and academic articles as primary data. Data collection techniques are carried out through documentation studies by reviewing various relevant literature, while data analysis techniques use content analysis to identify, categorize, and interpret the values ​​contained in Civic Education learning. The results of the study indicate that Civic Education learning plays a strategic role in instilling character values ​​in students, such as responsibility, tolerance, cooperation, and love of the homeland. These values ​​are not only conveyed theoretically, but also internalized through a contextual and values-based learning process. This approach has proven effective in increasing students' understanding and awareness of the importance of civic values ​​in everyday life. However, the implementation of Civic Education learning still faces several obstacles, such as a lack of variety in learning methods and limited supporting resources. Therefore, more interactive and creative learning strategy innovations are needed to improve the quality of Civics learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah.

This study examines the comparison between litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in resolving business conflicts in Indonesia. The increasingly complex nature of business activities has led to a variety of conflicts, such as breach of contract, share ownership disputes, and payment issues, which require efficient resolution methods that provide legal certainty. This study aims to explore the characteristics, procedures, advantages, and disadvantages of dispute resolution through litigation and ADR, which include negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. The method applied is normative juridical, drawing on legislation, legal doctrine, and relevant literature. The research findings indicate that litigation offers stronger legal certainty through binding court decisions and organized procedures, but is often time-consuming, expensive, and produces win-lose outcomes. On the other hand, ADR offers flexibility, confidentiality, efficiency, and the opportunity to reach mutually beneficial solutions, although in some situations it requires court confirmation for enforcement. Therefore, the choice of dispute resolution method needs to be adjusted to the nature of the conflict, the relationship between the parties, and the need for legal certainty.

This study aims to describe students’ mathematical creative thinking skills through the use of Project-Based Learning (PBL)-based Student Worksheets (LKPD) on the topic of translation via a tessellation project. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach supported by qualitative data in the form of documentation of students’ project outcomes. The research subjects consisted of 20 students divided into 10 groups. Data were collected through the assessment of tessellation projects and documentation of students’ work, which were analyzed based on indicators of mathematical creative thinking skills, namely fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results of the study indicate that students were able to generate various ideas in designing tessellation patterns, employ diverse pattern-arrangement strategies, and develop works demonstrating a visual understanding of the concept of translation. Elaboration skills were evident in the development of details, neatness, and refinement of the works, while originality was evident in the variety of motifs and designs produced by each group. Project-based learning provided students with the opportunity to explore ideas, collaborate in groups, and connect mathematical concepts with tangible products.

The results of the study showed that teachers' strategies include active learning, group discussions, individual approaches, and the use of learning media. The obstacles faced include low student confidence, cognitive limitations, and lack of variety of methods. The solutions carried out by teachers are in the form of providing motivation, applying innovative methods, and creating a conducive learning environment. This study concludes that PAI teachers' strategies play an important role in increasing the learning participation of low-ability students through innovative, interactive, and student-centered learning.

Nitrogen is an essential element for soybean growth, particularly in the formation of vegetative organs and seed protein. The nitrogen requirement of soybean plants varies according to their growth stages. This study aimed to quantify nitrogen levels in soil and plant tissues of Anjasmoro soybean variety over a 13-week cultivation period. Observations were conducted weekly by collecting soil and plant samples from three randomly selected polybags. Nitrogen analysis was performed using a colorimetric Kjeldahl method. The results showed that nitrogen supply was obtained not only from soil media and fertilizers, but also from biological nitrogen fixation facilitated by symbiotic microbes forming root nodules as well as non-symbiotic soil microbes. The lowest total soil nitrogen content was recorded at 0 weeks after planting (WAP) at 0.20%, while the highest was observed at 7 WAP at 0.82%. The lowest total nitrogen content in plant tissue occurred at 8 WAP at 1.80%, whereas the highest was recorded at 4 WAP at 8.07%. Soybean plants experienced etiolation due to suboptimal light intensity, resulting in a vegetative phase that was prolonged by two weeks. Nitrogen uptake during this extended vegetative period reached 4.6%. The average total nitrogen absorbed by the plants during cultivation was 2.881 g per plant, while total nitrogen accumulation in the system increased by 26.285 g per plant.

Chrysanthemum is an ornamental plant widely cultivated in Indonesia, with various varieties that have unique and attractive characteristics. Each variety responds differently to changes in light intensity. Providing shade can help regulate the light intensity received by chrysanthemum seedlings during the acclimatization stage. This study aimed to determine the best shade percentage for the acclimatization growth of three chrysanthemum varieties. The research was conducted in the screenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Tanjungpura University, for three months, from October to December 2024. The experiment used a Split Plot Design (Split Plot) with a Randomized Block Design (RBD), consisting of two factors: shade percentage and variety. There were three levels of shade and three chrysanthemum varieties, resulting in nine treatment combinations. Each treatment was repeated three times, with each replication consisting of three sample plants, resulting in 81 experimental units. The shade percentages used were 25% (n1), 50% (n2), and 75% (n3), and the varieties tested were Xanne (v1), Suciyono (v2), and Pinka Pinky (v3). Observed variables included plant survival rate, plant height, stem diameter, internode length, number of internodes, number of flower primordia, leaf color changes, along with supporting data such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The results showed that 50% shade was effective in promoting plant height and the number of flower primordia in the three varieties: Xanne, Suciyono, and Pinka Pinky. The Suciyono variety exhibited good vegetative and generative growth under all shade percentages.
