Effective leadership is crucial for guiding schools towards their goals. While traditional leadership traits play a role, this study focuses on identifying the non-traditional qualities that characterize the principal of SMP Negeri Buti, Merauke, a model school in Southern Papua. Utilizing a quantitative survey with all 20 teachers, the research revealed that the principal's willingness to take risks, respect for colleagues, and openness to diverse perspectives are key factors in their success. The data were analyzed statistically by calculating the frequency and percentage of responses on each item of the questionnaire. The result of descriptive statistical analysis indicates that daring to take risks, respect for sub-ordinates, and being open to the diversity of thinking and acting are the main keys to the success of the school principal in bringing SMP Negeri Buti as a ‘model’ for all schools around Southern Papua in general and in Merauke district in particular.

Penelitian ini meneliti kaitan efektivitas literasi digital dalam pembangunan ekonomi digital pada korban pinjol ilegal. Saat perkembangan ekonomi digital didukung financial technology seperti pinjol. Pinjol menawarkan kemudahan dalam melakukan pinjaman secara online lebih baik dari pinjaman konvensional. Tetapi secara bersamaan muncul pinjol ilegal. Sejauh mana peran literasi digital dalam pembangunan ekonomi digital khususnya pada korban pinjaman online ilegal. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kualitatif eksploratif. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dan wawancara mendalam. Wawancara mendalam melibatkan korban pinjol, OJK, Kepolisian dan Kominfo. Didapatkan bahwa dalam hal literasi keuangan, masyarakat masih minim memahami perbedaan antara pinjol, pinjaman konvensional, dan paylater. Walaupun pinjol menawarkan kemudahan dan kecepatan memperoleh uang untuk kebutuhan sehari-sehari. Terkait literasi digital mereka mudah sekali mendapatkan informasi tentang pinjol via internet dan media sosial. Walaupun sadar ada pinjol ilegal yang menyebarkan data pribadi dan tidak dapat memahami cara melaporkannya. Oleh sebab itu, perlu diperkuat kolaborasi antar stakeholder untuk membangun ekonomi digital yang baik dengan menguatkan literasi digital dan literasi keuangan masyarakat.

This study was the first of the two-cycled action research. This study aimed at building teachers’ understanding of integrating local wisdom and culture content with Buddhism at Adhicitta Buddhist Sunday School, Suruh, Tengaran, and Susukan, as the basis of the implementation of local wisdom and culture-based Buddhist learning. The   first cycle of action research consisted of three stages, Look, Think, and Act. The data gathering technique employed interview, observation, and documentation. The data was analyzed through data condensation, data display, and drawing and verification conclusions. The results showed that the teachers at Adhicitta Buddhist Sunday School, Suruh, Tengaran, and Susukan had not completely understood how to integrate local wisdom and culture content with Buddhism. The human resources limitation and the high demand of the Buddhist Sunday School Curriculum contributed as the main factors of the teachers’ poor understanding. Based on the evaluation of the latest step of Act, the next cycle focused on the intensive training towards the teachers at Adhicitta Buddhist Sunday School, Suruh, Tengaran, and Susukan in designing local wisdom and culture-based Buddhist lesson plans.

ABSTRACT
Management of NCDs is a challenge especially in low- and middle-income countries due to the double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases, shortage of human and material resources and other competing economic priorities in these countries. This need for promotion and early detection then becomes the background for the implementation of community service, especially for congregations in the JKI Royal Family regarding non-communicable diseases. Community service was carried out for 27 congregations in the JKI Royal Family. This service includes measuring blood pressure, checking blood sugar, uric acid and cholesterol at the same time as providing education which aims to provide an understanding of abnormal examination results along with things that must be avoided. Several findings were obtained, namely 1) the majority of blood pressure examination results blood above 120/80 mmHg, 2) the majority of cholesterol examination results were predominantly more than 200 mmHg, 3) the majority of instant blood sugar and uric acid examination results were normal although values were still found above the normal range. It can be concluded that the community service process went according to schedule and received a positive response from the participants as evidenced by the involvement of the participants from the beginning to the end of the community service process.

This research aims to describe the leadership of teachers that has been taking place in schools, identify the weaknesses in teachers' educational leadership, and develop a self-learning module on competence-based education leadership to enhance teachers' personal competencies. The research method used a Mixed Method (Sequential) approach with a research and development (R&D) design based on Sugiyono's model integrated with the ADDIE model, consisting of the following five stages: 1) analysis; 2) design; 3) development; 4) implementation; and 5) evaluation. This study was conducted in three public elementary schools in the city of Soe. The research and development period started from July 2022 to May 2023. The research subjects consisted of 15 teachers from three different elementary schools: SD Inpres Oeusapi, SD Inpres Sonapolen, and SD Inpres Tubuhue. The research findings indicate that the educational leadership of teachers in schools is very low, where teachers demonstrate a lack of personality as leaders in the school, lack discipline in terms of time and responsibilities, tend to be individualistic, and have poor communication with fellow teachers. There are weaknesses in educational leadership, as teachers have a lack of knowledge about educational leadership, as evidenced by the absence of books or modules on teacher leadership in the school. Additionally, teachers have insufficient coordination skills with fellow teachers and students, as well as a lack of training on educational leadership in schools. The development of the self-learning module received high validation results from content experts (89.7%), module experts (85.19%), and a questionnaire response from 15 teachers (86.33%).
