This study discusses the application of religious moderation in an effort to build a peaceful and tolerant community in Tewang Kadamba Village, Central Kalimantan. This village is known for its cultural and religious diversity, where the Dayak Kaharingan tribe is the majority of the population while Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity live side by side harmoniously. However, there are challenges related to the lack of motivation in worship activities and the shortage of Islamic religious teachers in the village. This is a serious concern because it can affect the social and religious life of the community. The Tewang Kadamba Village KKN Team took the initiative to empower the community through strengthening religious values ??by involving the younger generation and cadres in the religious teaching program. This program is expected to encourage positive changes in religious life and social life in the village. This study uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method and literature study, with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of the religious teaching program in improving the understanding and practice of religious moderation values ??among the Tewang Kadamba Village community. It is hoped that the results of the study can provide useful suggestions for the development of religious teaching programs in Tewang Kadamba Village, so that they can support the formation of a religious, tolerant, and peaceful society

The growth of comet fish (Carassius auratus) in the vertiqua system using a biofical filter is motivated by limited land and water which can cause low water quality to affect the growth rate of fish. The utilization of technology needs to be done to overcome these problems and the technology used is vertiqua. Previous research showed that comet fish in the vertiqua system produced slow growth rates and had high ammonia levels. Therefore, vertiqua was modified in the filter section to become a biofical filter. The purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of comet fish growth in the vertiqua system using a biofical filter. The benefits of this research are that the vertiqua system using a biofical filter can be a solution to overcome the problem of limited land and water, become a support for system cultivation innovation, and become a reference for further research. This research method uses descriptive methods, observation and interviews. The comet fish used in the study were 3-4 cm in size. The results of this study indicate that the vertiqua system using a biofical filter is still not effective in supporting fish growth. The growth rate of comet fish in the vertiqua system is significantly different from that in the soil pond and the growth rate of comet fish in the vertiqua system is lower than that of comet fish in the soil pond. Ammonia value is relatively high from the quality standard (>0.05). However, this system is able to maintain good fish survival and good water quality, especially in temperature, pH, and DO.

This study examines the impact of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) on enhancing critical thinking skills in an open and distance learning (ODL) environment, focusing on a biology education program. The research employed a pre-experimental one-group posttest-only design with 35 students participating in online sessions. These sessions involved formulating questions, designing experiments, conducting observations, and analyzing data. Quantitative analysis using percentages, means, standard deviations, and regression revealed that over 75% of students achieved very good performance in key areas like formulating hypotheses and designing experiments. The regression analysis confirmed that IBL significantly affected critical thinking skills (R² = 0.849; p = 0.05). The study concludes that a systematic learning design that encourages active learning and provides continuous feedback is crucial for developing critical thinking skills in ODL settings. These findings provide insights for curriculum developers and educators to optimize IBL implementation, thereby enhancing educational outcomes and fostering independent learning in distance education environments. Further research is suggested to refine this approach and ensure deeper understanding and application of scientific principles.  

The case method and team-based projects in the mechanics course are designed to help science teacher candidates master the principles of mechanics. This study aims to analyze the readiness and constraints of technological integration in implementing the case method and team-based projects in the mechanics course of the natural science education program. The study was conducted using a survey method with respondents or samples consisting of two lecturers teaching the mechanics course, 64 pre-service science teachers, and an analysis of the mechanics course documents in the Science Education Study Program at a state university in Central Java, Indonesia. Data collection techniques for this study were carried out using a blended approach (online and face-to-face), a Google Forms questionnaire, online interviews (zoom meeting), and document review. Data analysis was carried out using the triangulation method, which combines various predetermined data and sources, including data from the mechanics course lecturers and students and the lecture tool documents. The results indicate that the readiness for implementing the case method and team-based project in the mechanics course is supported by a good understanding from lecturers and students and adequate resources. The student’s understanding of the approaches used by the lecturer obtained concept approach (71.40%), direct instruction model (85.70%), and discussion method (78.60%). In its implementation, the case method follows the theory and expectations in the mechanics lectures in the curriculum documents. Meanwhile, team-based projects still need improvement and development in their application to the mechanics course. The skills trained in the mechanics course are still limited to critical thinking skills, communication, and collaboration. Generic science skills have been trained but have not been specifically labeled, and creative thinking skills have not been technically facilitated to be trained. The carrying capacity of the learning environment is quite good based on ICT. However, it is still dominated by PowerPoint presentations and virtual lab applications, while coding blocks and AR-VR have not yet been developed. The conclusion indicates that while there is strong readiness and adequate resources for implementing the case method and team-based projects in the mechanics course, significant constraints exist in developing creative thinking skills, generic science skills, and consistency in applying learning models. Specific improvements are needed in the practical application of team-based projects and the integration of ICT that can assist mechanics lectures, such as coding blocks and AR-VR technology. It is recommended to enhance comprehension of the case method and team-based projects among lecturers and students and to advance technological integration, especially focusing on AR-VR and coding blocks.

Mengingat tingginya potensi bencana di Kabupaten Sleman, upaya peningkatan kapasitas pengetahuan kebencanaan sangat perlu dilakukan melalui pembelajaran materi orientasi mobilitas bagi siswa tunanetra. Dibalik kekurangan yang dimiliki siswa tunanetra, mereka memiliki kelebihan berupa kemampuan meraba dan mendengar, sehingga media pembelajaran yang cocok bagi siswa tunanetra adalah media yang berbasis braile. Maka dari itu penelitian ini menggunakan media “EVAROM-NET (Evacuation Route Map Tunanetra)” yang di sesuaikan dengan karakteristik belajar diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan mengenali ruang sekitar bagi siswa tunanetra, sebagai bagian upaya pengurangan risiko bencana. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian Research and Development dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu analisis data interaktif. Sejalan dengan analisis data interaktif yang dimaksud, bertujuan untuk menggambarkan secara sistematis, faktual dan akurat. Berdasarkan hasil uji efektivitas peta taktual yang diberi nama EVAROM-NET dinilai relative efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap anak tunanetra tentang keruangan di lingkungan sekolah. Penilaian tampilan  dan konsep materi pada media dinilai sudah cukup baik, namun ada indikator yang tidak dapat dipenuhi oleh media ini yaitu reliable karena EVAROM-NET ini tidak dapat diandalkan sebagai satu-satunya media yang menuntun siswa tunanetra untuk mengevakuasi dirinya sendiri. Peta hanya dapat membantu siswa untuk mengingat jalur evakuasi sedangkan ketika terjadi bencana erupsi sesungguhnya siswa tunanetra tetap harus ada pendampingan dari orang normal. Ketika simulasi dilakukan setelah penerapan media, siswa dapat memahami dan mengetahui dimana posisi dan arah berjalan dari ruang kelas menuju titik kumpul di sekolah. Media EVAROM-NET dapat menjadi media yang efektif menunjang pembelajaran orientasi mobilitas dan membaca braile bagi siswa tunanetra. Dengan adanya tingakan-tindakan yang dilaksanakan di sekolah tersebut maka dapat dikatakan kesiapsiagaan siswa tunanetra berbantu media pembelajaran EVAROM-NET tergolong sedang karena sudah memenuhi indikator-indikator kesiapsiagaan yang ada walaupun masih dengan bimbingan dari guru.
