The role of teachers in curriculum development extends beyond the planning stage and plays a crucial part in its implementation. This article aims to analyze and gain an in-depth understanding of teachers' roles as implementers in educational curriculum development. The discussion focuses on four key aspects: teachers as curriculum implementers in the classroom, providers of feedback, agents of change, and the challenges they face along with strategies to strengthen their roles. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method by examining relevant sources. In classroom practice, teachers actively adapt and apply curriculum content to meet students' needs. As feedback providers, they offer valuable insights to stakeholders regarding curriculum effectiveness and areas for improvement. Additionally, teachers serve as agents of change by driving innovation and renewal in teaching practices. However, they also encounter various internal and external challenges that make their role increasingly complex. This article emphasizes the importance of recognizing and empowering teachers at every stage of curriculum development to establish a responsive and sustainable education system.

Non-formal education plays a significant role in supporting the development of Islamic character, particularly among adolescents. The Friday night study (pengajian) sessions, as a form of community-based religious education, serve as a potential medium for spiritual and moral guidance in rural areas. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Friday night study sessions in shaping the Islamic character of female adolescents in Aek Galoga Village, Mandailing Natal Regency. This research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, focusing on the lived experiences of the participants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the regular study sessions contribute to instilling Islamic values such as discipline, social awareness, politeness, and a stronger understanding of religious teachings among the youth. Moreover, these activities foster social cohesion and help create a religious environment that supports moral development. Thus, the Friday night study sessions are proven to be an effective medium for building the Islamic character of female adolescents in the village setting.
 

This study aims to examine the parenting patterns adopted by single parents in the Islamic religious education of their children in Ampung Julu Village, Batang Natal Subdistrict, Mandailing Natal Regency. The research background stems from the growing phenomenon of single-parent families, which presents challenges in religious education. This is a qualitative descriptive study employing data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that single parents apply various parenting styles, including authoritarian, permissive, and democratic. The main challenges include limited time and dual responsibilities as both breadwinners and educators. Nevertheless, some single parents successfully nurture their children in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of Islamic education through exemplary conduct, habituation, advice, supervision, and other Islamic-based methods. The study concludes that active involvement of single parents, despite limitations, still has a positive impact on the development of their children's Islamic religious education.

 
This research analyzes the impact of company size on business performance, focusing on profitability, leverage, financial performance, and institutional ownership, through a bibliometric approach and literature review. Data was collected from 500 scientific publications sourced from Google Scholar and Emerald, covering the period from 2020 to 2025, and analyzed using VOSviewer to map research trends. The findings show that company size significantly affects profitability and financial performance, with larger companies tending to be more profitable due to economies of scale and better resource access. However, high leverage can weaken these benefits, especially for smaller companies that are more vulnerable to financial risks. Institutional ownership, which is more dominant in larger companies, supports better governance and reduces the negative impact of leverage. This study confirms that company size is an important variable in financial strategy and governance, with significant implications for risk management and business decision-making.

In the midst of rapid digitalization and technological advancement, the urgency of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping students’ character and morality is becoming increasingly evident. While digitalization offers positive contributions to the field of education, it also presents serious challenges such as cyberbullying, exposure to negative content, and a moral identity crisis among adolescents. This study aims to explore the strategic role of PAI in addressing these challenges through a literature review approach by analyzing relevant academic sources and curriculum documents. The findings indicate that PAI plays a vital role not only in delivering religious knowledge but also in shaping students’ spiritual character and digital ethics. Religious education teachers act as value agents who guide students to apply Islamic teachings within their digital lives. Therefore, there is a pressing need to strengthen the curriculum and develop learning methods that integrate Islamic values with digital literacy. With the right and innovative approach, PAI can serve as an effective moral foundation in nurturing a generation of Muslims who are religious, digitally literate, and wise in navigating the dynamics of the digital world. The role of PAI is crucial in fostering a generation that is able to respond to the digital era with strong character and firmly rooted Islamic values.

Law Number 1 Year 2023 on the Criminal Code (KUHP) is a form of national criminal law reform that recognises the existence of customary criminal law. However, it has not been regulated in detail how the implementation and position of customary criminal law as a reason for criminal prosecution, and there are fundamental differences between the two concepts of the legal system. The problems in this research are how the position between customary criminal law and national criminal law in the new Criminal Code, how the legal certainty of the regulation of customary criminal law in the new Criminal Code, and how the challenges in enforcing customary criminal law using the current criminal justice system in Indonesia. This research uses normative juridical method with regulatory and conceptual approaches. The results show that the applicability of customary criminal law is limited to the area where the law lives and applies to customary criminal acts committed in the area where the law lives. The position of customary criminal law can be valid as a reason for criminal prosecution if the customary law that is still alive in the community has been stipulated in the form of Regional Regulations, and customary offences that are similar to offences in the New Criminal Code will be ruled out, and the classification of customary sanctions as additional sanctions, positioning customary penalties to be complementary or secondary, because additional sanctions can only be imposed together with the main sanctions. Legal certainty towards the regulation of customary criminal law is highly dependent on the formulation of the elements of each offence of customary criminal law stipulated in regional regulations. The current criminal justice system in Indonesia (KUHAP) cannot realise the objectives of customary criminal law. The objectives, characteristics, and procedures in the concept of customary law are contrary to those in the criminal justice system. Restorative Justice can be utilised as an alternative to the settlement of customary criminal cases when the New Criminal Code comes into effect.

The rapid development of information and communication technology demands the education sector to strengthen digital literacy, particularly in mastering computer networks.
