The study aims to examine the characteristics of the Alpha generation, how character education for the Alpha generation and effective parenting patterns in preparing the digital leadership of the Alpha generation. Literature studies show that the Alpha generation has great potential as a digital leader through the digital environment, character education in schools and parental care must be adjusted to the characteristics of the Alpha generation, by providing role models, mentoring, and good relationships. This study used a mixed method involving a quantitative survey of teachers and students, as well as qualitative interviews with school principals. The results of the study show that effective leadership in this context involves the implementation of holistic policies, which not only emphasize mastery of technology, but also strengthen character values ??such as responsibility, discipline, and empathy. Thus, the role of principals and teachers is crucial in creating a learning environment that is balanced between the intellectual development and character of students.  This research provides strategic recommendations for educational leaders in designing policies that are able to integrate technology without neglecting student character development.

Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di tingkat Sekolah Dasar dan Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (SD/MI) berperan penting dalam membentuk karakter anak sejak usia dini. Menghadapi tantangan era digital, diperlukan inovasi dalam pendekatan pembelajaran PAI agar tetap relevan, efektif, dan mampu membangkitkan minat belajar siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas berbagai strategi inovatif dalam pembelajaran PAI, termasuk integrasi teknologi, penggunaan media visual dan audio interaktif, serta penerapan metode pembelajaran berbasis proyek yang mendorong siswa untuk aktif dan kreatif. Selain itu, pendekatan kontekstual yang menghubungkan materi ajar dengan kehidupan sehari-hari anak juga dieksplorasi untuk meningkatkan relevansi dan pemahaman siswa terhadap nilai-nilai keislaman. Inovasi-inovasi ini tidak hanya dirancang untuk mengembangkan pengetahuan agama pada anak, tetapi juga menekankan pada pembentukan karakter yang positif seperti kejujuran, disiplin, dan tanggung jawab. Berdasarkan hasil studi literatur, inovasi dalam pembelajaran PAI di SD/MI terbukti mampu meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa, memperkuat pemahaman ajaran agama, serta membangun karakter berakhlak mulia. Dengan kolaborasi antara guru, orang tua, dan masyarakat, diharapkan inovasi pembelajaran PAI dapat menciptakan generasi yang religius, berkarakter, dan siap menghadapi tantangan di masa mendatang.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak pemanfaatan teknologi Artificial Intelligence (AI) khususnya Chat GPT terhadap kualitas akademik mahasiswa. Chat GPT, sebagai salah satu implementasi Artificial Intelligence (AI) dalam bidang pendidikan, menawarkan berbagai fitur yang dapat membantu mahasiswa dalam proses pembelajaran, seperti penyediaan informasi secara cepat, bimbingan akademik, penyelesaian masalah pembelajaran serta dukungan dalam menyelesaikan tugas-tugas akademik. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif.  Teknik mengumpulkan data yang digunakan melalui kuesioner yang disebarkan kepada beberapa mahasiswa magister program studi Pendidikan Agama Islam yang dilakukan secara acak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Chat GPT memiliki pengaruh positif yang signifikan terhadap peningkatan kualitas akademik dari mahasiswa, baik dalam hal pemahaman materi, pengembangan keterampilan berpikir kritis, maupun efisiensi dalam menyelesaikan tugas akademik. Namun, hasil ini juga menunjukkan adanya tantangan dalam penerapan teknologi Artificial Intelligence (AI), seperti potensi kurangnya keakuratan jawaban apabila tidak di kritisi dengan baik, adanya resiko ketergantungan pada Chat GPT sehingga berdampak pada penurunan kualitas akademik mahasiswa dan kurangnya interaksi langsung mahasiswa dengan dosen. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan pandangan baru tentang pemanfaatan Artificial Intelligence (AI) yakni Chat GPT dalam dunia pendidikan serta dapat membantu institusi akademik dalam mengembangkan strategi pembelajaran yang lebih efektif di era digital.

Plastic waste is a common problem in all regions of Indonesia. As one of the largest contributors to plastic waste in the world, Indonesia faces a major challenge in plastic waste management. One creative solution that is gaining popularity is ecobricking, an environmentally friendly plastic waste management technique that turns plastic waste into strong and durable “bricks”. This research uses a qualitative method in the process, where data is taken through direct observation in the Rejosari village environment, experiment, as well as literature studies from books, journal articles, and other archives. Through the KKN work program, 84 ecobricks were successfully made by collecting plastic waste from grocery stores, food stalls, and markets. Approximately 7 kg of plastic waste has been absorbed for the needs of ecobricking. Overall, ecobricks have great potential in reducing plastic waste, increasing community awareness of the importance of waste management, as an environmental conservation effort, while supporting local economic empowerment.

Students experience difficulties in learning to write procedure texts. This is caused by students' interest in learning procedural text material which is still relatively low, students' lack of understanding in writing procedural texts, students are not enthusiastic about learning to write procedural texts. The aim of this research is to analyze (1) the ability to write procedural texts of class VII SMP students. Negeri 29 Medan before using the project based learning learning model assisted by Prezi media; (2) the ability to write procedural texts for class VII students at SMP Negeri 29 Medan after using the project based learning model assisted by Prezi media. (3) the influence of the project based learning model assisted by Prezi media on the ability to write procedural texts for class VII students at SMP Negeri 29 Medan. This research uses an experimental one group pre-test post-test design method. The results of the research show that 1) the ability to write procedural texts for class VII students at SMP Negeri 29 Medaln before implementing the project based learning learning model assisted by Prezi media was still classified as adequate in terms of category, with an average value of 60.16 while the majority of students had not yet reached the minimum completeness criteria. (KKM) which has already been determined by the school with a score of 76. 2) The ability to write procedural texts for class VII students at SMP Negeri 29 Medaln after implementing the Prezi media-assisted project based learning model is in the reverse category with a score of 84.35 based on the test t, with a significant level value of ? = 0.05 and n = 31, the t-table value is 2.04. Therefore, it can be concluded that t-count > t-table, namely 7.15 > 2.04. This proves that there is a significant influence from the use of the project based learning model assisted by Prezi media on class VII students at SMP Negeri 29 Medan.
