Globalization and the dominance of national and foreign languages have contributed to the declining use of regional languages in literacy practices among younger generations, including children's literature learning in higher education. This study aims to reconstruct regional language children's story writing practices by strengthening the role of lecturers as cultural literacy role models. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach supported by qualitative data through observations, interviews, document analysis, and questionnaires involving 33 students in children's literature courses at universities. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic interpretation to identify lecturers' exemplary roles in the learning process. The results indicate that all indicators of lecturers' roles were categorized as very high, with average scores ranging from 4.39 to 4.64 on a five-point scale. Lecturers actively demonstrated creative writing processes, provided examples of regional language use in literary works, guided writing activities, gave feedback, encouraged publication, motivated students, developed collaborative learning environments, and integrated character values into literary creations. These findings demonstrate that lecturers’ roles as cultural literacy models significantly contribute to strengthening cultural identity, revitalizing regional languages, and developing writing cultures in higher education. The study proposes a learning model that positions lecturers and students as collaborative creative communities in preserving local cultural values through regional language children's stories.

This study aims to interpret the Prophetic hadiths related to mental health and examine their relevance to modern neuropsychology. It employs a qualitative approach using library research with a thematic (mawdu’i) method. The data were collected from hadiths contained in the Kutub al-Sittah, classical hadith commentaries (sharh), and relevant literature on psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroscience. The analysis involved takhrij of the hadiths, interpretation based on the explanations of classical scholars, and integration with contemporary neuropsychological theories. The findings reveal that hadiths concerning anger regulation, optimism, patience, remembrance of Allah (dhikr), and husn al-zhann (positive expectation toward Allah) embody principles of mental health that are consistent with psychological and neurobiological mechanisms. Anger regulation is associated with self-regulation and reduced amygdala activity; patience strengthens resilience by lowering cortisol levels; gratitude and optimism enhance positive emotions through dopamine activation; tawakkul reduces anxiety by optimizing prefrontal cortex function; while dhikr induces relaxation through activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. These findings indicate that the values embedded in the hadiths transform religious understanding into positive cognitive patterns and adaptive behaviors, which subsequently influence brain activity through neuroplasticity and promote mental well-being. This study concludes that hadiths serve not only as normative and spiritual guidance but also as scientifically relevant sources for the development of mental health from a neuropsychological perspective, thereby reinforcing the integration of hadith studies with modern neuroscience.

The rapid development of digital technology has transformed students’ communication, access to information, and social interactions. However, the growing use of digital media has also created ethical challenges, including the spread of misinformation, irresponsible social media use, and declining politeness in online communication. In response to these issues, Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers play a vital role in fostering students’ digital ethics by integrating Islamic values into the learning process. This study aims to examine the role of IRE teachers in developing students’ digital ethical awareness at MTs Muhammadiyah Bandung Tulungagung. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, IRE teachers, and students. Data were analyzed using an interactive model, while credibility was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that IRE teachers effectively promote digital ethics through exemplary behavior, moral guidance, classroom instruction, supervision of students’ digital activities, and encouragement of respectful online communication. These efforts enhance students’ awareness of responsible technology use, ethical communication, critical evaluation of digital information, and the application of Islamic values in digital interactions. The study concludes that strengthening the pedagogical competence and exemplary role of IRE teachers is essential for fostering an ethical digital culture and reinforcing students’ character education in the digital era.

Geguritan is a form of modern Javanese poetry that utilizes the beauty of language and symbols to convey inner experiences and life values. The geguritan anthology Mendut-mendut by R. Djoko Prakoso is rich in aesthetic and symbolic elements that are worth studying, particularly in the geguritan titled “Dom”. This study aims to describe the aesthetics of stylistic language and symbols in the geguritan “Dom”. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method using a stylistic and semiotic approach. The research data consist of words, phrases, lines, and stanzas containing aesthetic elements of stylistic language and symbolism in Dom’s geguritan. Data were collected through documentation and literature review, then analyzed descriptively. The results of the study indicate that the aesthetics of the geguritan are constructed through the use of connotative diction, metaphors, imagery, repetition, and wordplay, which shape aesthetic and emotional experiences. Additionally, symbols such as night, heart, eyes, soul, torch, pancer, and seed were identified, representing longing, love, loss, hope, reflection, and the process of inner maturation. The findings indicate that stylistic and semiotic aspects complement one another in constructing the depth of meaning and artistic value of geguritan. It is hoped that these findings will serve as a reference for the development of Javanese literary studies, particularly research on the aesthetics of stylistic features and symbols in modern geguritan.

The study implies that strengthening educational management and fostering sustainable collaboration among all stakeholders are essential to creating a supportive educational environment that promotes students’ character development and contributes to achieving national education goals.

This study aims to describe the appreciation of the exemplary role of the Virgin Mary in building harmonious families in the St. Paul Sampun Congregation. In the Catholic tradition, Mary is seen as a model of faith, love, faithfulness, and humility. These values ​​inspire Catholics in building family lives rooted in God's love. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques consisting of in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation of Catholics who are considered to have a deep spirituality towards Mary. The results show that Mary's exemplary role is concretely lived in the lives of the congregation's families, reflected through four main dimensions: hope in God, a spirit of mutual support, sincere love, and humility. Catholic families in the St. Paul Sampun Congregation cultivate the habit of praying together, building caring and understanding relationships, and demonstrating an attitude of mutual forgiveness in their daily lives. These values ​​align with Mary's example of faithfully accompanying Jesus throughout all stages of His life. Thus, appreciation for Mary's exemplary role proves to be a solid foundation in building harmonious, faith-filled, and loving Catholic families. It is hoped that these findings will enrich the pastoral development of families and strengthen the spirituality of the congregation in family life.

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities for church ministry, particularly as a medium for congregational spiritual formation. However, empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness in enhancing spiritual awareness remains limited, especially within the context of local churches in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the influence of digital literacy, participation in church-based digital technology training, the frequency of AI application use for spiritual activities, perceptions of AI effectiveness, and church leadership support on congregational spiritual awareness. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 140 young adult members of the Indonesian Baptist Church of Bogor selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that the five independent variables collectively contribute to spiritual awareness, explaining 84.3% of the variance. Nevertheless, only church leadership support has a statistically significant partial effect on spiritual awareness, whereas digital literacy, digital technology training, AI usage, and perceptions of AI effectiveness do not show significant individual effects. These findings suggest that AI functions primarily as a supporting medium for spiritual formation, while its effectiveness depends largely on church leadership in directing its use according to biblical values and the spiritual development of the congregation. This study provides practical implications for churches in designing digital ministry strategies that integrate technological innovation with Christ-centered spiritual formation..

Pembelajaran SKI tidak hanya diarahkan pada penguasaan aspek kognitif berupa pengetahuan sejarah, tetapi juga memiliki tujuan untuk membentuk karakter peserta didik melalui nilai-nilai keteladanan. Melalui pembelajaran ini, siswa diharapkan mampu memahami, menghayati, serta meneladani perjalanan hidup Nabi Muhammad SAW, para sahabat, dan tokoh-tokoh Islam lainnya sebagai pedoman dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Pada tingkat SD/MI, materi SKI pada dasarnya telah disesuaikan dengan tingkat perkembangan peserta didik. Namun demikian, dalam pelaksanaannya masih ditemukan beberapa kendala yang cukup berpengaruh terhadap proses pembelajaran. Di MI Ar-Rahmah Karawang, pembelajaran Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam (SKI), permasalahan yang ditemukan meliputi dominasi metode ceramah, terbatasnya variasi media pembelajaran, serta rendahnya partisipasi siswa dalam proses pembelajaran di kelas. Kondisi tersebut berpengaruh terhadap pemahaman siswa pada materi SKI yang cenderung bersifat historis dan abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) yang memengaruhi pembelajaran SKI serta merumuskan strategi yang tepat untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara dengan guru SKI, serta dokumentasi.

Oleh karena itu, penerapan strategi PAIKEMI direkomendasikan sebagai alternatif untuk menciptakan pembelajaran yang lebih aktif, inovatif, dan bermakna.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities for providing feedback in writing instruction. This study examined the effect of ChatGPT-generated feedback on students’ narrative writing performance and compared its effectiveness with teacher feedback. A quasi-experimental design was conducted with two groups of Grade XI students at SMAN 65 Jakarta. The experimental group received feedback from ChatGPT, while the control group received teacher feedback. Students completed pre-tests and post-tests consisting of narrative writing tasks assessed using Jacobs’ ESL Composition Profile Rubric. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test due to non-normal distribution. The results showed that ChatGPT-generated feedback significantly improved students’ writing performance (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the improvements achieved by the ChatGPT and teacher-feedback groups (p = 0.285). These findings indicate that ChatGPT can be a useful supplementary tool in writing instruction, while teacher feedback remains essential for providing personalized guidance.

Learning motivation is one of the key factors contributing to the success of the learning process. However, in practice, students demonstrate varying levels of learning motivation, such as low enthusiasm for classroom activities, delayed assignment completion, limited classroom participation, and difficulty maintaining concentration during lessons. These conditions highlight the importance of examining the factors influencing students' learning motivation. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting students' learning motivation at SMP Negeri 1 Limpung. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research subjects consisted of three students representing Grades VII, VIII, and IX, three guidance and counseling teachers, and three homeroom teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data validity was ensured using source triangulation and technique triangulation, while data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that students' learning motivation was influenced by internal factors, including the desire to achieve success, learning needs and drives, and future aspirations, as well as external factors, including learning rewards, engaging learning activities, and a conducive learning environment. Engaging learning activities and teacher appreciation were identified as the most influential factors in enhancing students' learning motivation, whereas an unconducive learning environment and inconsistent learning drive remained obstacles for some students. The findings are expected to provide useful information for schools in designing appropriate strategies to improve students' learning motivation.

This study aims to analyze the internalization of the 2D2K spirit (Prayer, Charity, Sacrifice, and Witness) in fostering the missionary character of children at Stasi Hati Amat Kudus Tuhan Yesus Lewoloba. The study was motivated by the limited internalization of 2D2K values among Holy Childhood Association (SEKAMI) members despite their active participation in faith formation activities. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving SEKAMI facilitators, children, parents, and the Outstation Head as research participants. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that the internalization of the 2D2K spirit takes place through four interconnected processes: socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization. Prayer strengthens children’s relationship with God and nurtures their spiritual life, while charity and sacrifice develop social concern, solidarity, generosity, and a willingness to serve others. Witness encourages children to express and live out their faith in everyday life. These findings imply that the internalization of the 2D2K spirit plays a significant role in developing faithful, caring, responsible, and missionary-minded children who are prepared to witness to Christ in their families, schools, communities, and the Church.

This qualitative study aims to explore the effectiveness of reward-and-punishment-based Islamic Religious Education in strengthening students' learning motivation at SMA Negeri 1 Bukateja using Travis Hirschi's social control theory framework. This research was conducted through a case study approach in one of the public high schools in Purbalingga Regency. Data were collected through interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of rewards and punishments functions as a social control mechanism that is able to activate four elements of social bonds: attachment, commitment, involvement, and trust. The reward system in the form of praise, certificates, and gifts has been proven to strengthen the emotional bond between students and teachers, thereby increasing active participation and enthusiasm for learning. Meanwhile, educational punishments, such as reprimands, additional assignments, and community service, are able to build student commitment to rules and reduce indiscipline behavior.This study contributes to the development of Islamic education theory through a social control perspective and serves as a practical reference for Islamic Religious Education teachers in designing effective, fair, and sustainable learning systems.

This article examines the concept of Gotong royong and its role as a foundation for a sustainable and ethical economy. The growing environmental challenges and the limitations of carbon-intensive economic systems highlight the need for a transition toward a green economy that balances economic development with social and environmental sustainability. This study employs the Systematic Review of the Literature (SRL) method by analyzing relevant academic publications on Gotong royong, local wisdom, and sustainable economic development. The findings reveal that Gotong royong represents an indigenous cultural value of Indonesia that reflects collective wisdom in managing economic resources through cooperation, mutual assistance, and shared responsibility. Beyond its economic function, Gotong royong contributes to character development by transforming negative traits such as selfishness, greed, envy, arrogance, and laziness into positive values including sincerity, patience, integrity, loyalty, responsibility, and willingness to sacrifice for the common good. The practice of Gotong royong also promotes harmonious relationships among humans, God, society, and nature, making it consistent with the principles of sustainable development and economic ethics. Therefore, Gotong royong can be regarded as an alternative paradigm for economic mechanisms that emphasize collaboration, moral responsibility, and environmental sustainability. This study contributes to the international discourse by demonstrating that Indonesia's local wisdom offers a relevant framework for developing a more sustainable, ethical, and inclusive economic system.

These findings provide an overview of research trends in chemistry education assessment and evaluation and may serve as a reference for future studies.

This research is motivated by the low level of student learning engagement, which remains a challenge in education. In class, students often tend to be passive, reluctant to ask questions, and less involved in discussions, resulting in less interactive learning. This study aims to determine the effect of Wordwall-based AI on student learning engagement and to determine the extent of this influence. The method used was quantitative research with a correlational approach. Data were analyzed using the coefficient of determination test. The results showed an R-square value of 0.394, indicating that the use of Wordwall contributed 39.4% to student learning engagement. Meanwhile, 60.6% was influenced by factors outside the research variables. Therefore, the use of Wordwall-based AI can be an alternative learning medium to increase student learning engagement.
