The main focus in this research includes: implementation, effectiveness of use, and inhibiting factors of SIMPATIKA implementation. This research was conducted qualitatively with data collection through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that: 1) The implementation of SIMPATIKA has been carried out by the Madrasah Education Section at the Palangka Raya City Ministry of Religious Affairs Office, which is managed by SIMPATIKA Special operators.2) The effectiveness of using SIMPATIKA as a madrasah data management system has not been fully realized.3) The inhibiting factors of SIMPATIKA implementation are mainly caused by the ignorance of some teachers in accessing the management information system for educators and education personnel (PTK). This has led to the delegation of SIMPATIKA account management to madrasah operators, whereas the account should be managed individually by each educator. The proposed solution is to hold technical guidance on the SIMPATIKA management information system, and provide an understanding of the rights and responsibilities in using individual SIMPATIKA accounts..

The rapid development of information technology has significantly transformed the financial sector, particularly with the rise of online lending services or fintech lending. While these services provide easier access to financial resources, they also bring various challenges, including an increase in disputes between lenders and borrowers. The government, through the Financial Services Authority (OJK), has formulated regulations to protect consumers and promote the use of mediation as an alternative dispute resolution method that is more efficient and less burdensome for both parties. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of mediation as a solution for resolving online lending disputes, using a normative juridical approach. Data were collected from various primary and secondary legal sources and analyzed deductively. The results indicate that mediation offers a faster, more flexible, and less formal mechanism compared to court proceedings. However, challenges such as low consumer financial literacy and a lack of understanding by service providers about the mediation process need to be addressed through increased education and awareness campaigns. In conclusion, mediation has great potential to become a more equitable and efficient dispute resolution mechanism in the fintech lending industry, provided it is supported by adequate regulations and improved awareness among the involved parties.

Education aims to help students become more independent and critical in the process of discovering their own identity. Participatory education is a relevant approach that allows students to actively participate in the thinking process. The philosophy of educational progressivism pioneered by John Dewey reflects much of this approach.

Relevant works on progressivism and Dewey's concept of education are investigated in this qualitative research. The results show that the idea of progressivism is strongly related to Indonesia's national education goal, which is to create innovative, independent, and flexible students.
