Learning the hijaiyah letters is very important in Islamic education because it is the first step to understanding the Qur'an. In implementing this activity, the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was used with interview, observation, and documentation methods. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' interest in learning, cognitive abilities, and fine motor skills. Flashcards have proven to be effective as interactive and interesting visual learning media for children. This activity also encourages the formation of religious character from an early age and strengthens the relationship between students and teachers. This study recommends the use of flashcard media as a relevant and educational learning strategy in introducing the hijaiyah letters to children.

Rapid development and population growth in urban areas have caused various problems, one of which is the decreasing availability of clean water. This has an impact on the agricultural and fisheries sectors which are highly dependent on good water quality. As an alternative to overcome this problem, the aquaponic system offers a solution by combining fish and plant cultivation in one efficient water recirculation system. However, the quality and productivity of the aquaponic system are highly dependent on good management, which requires proper monitoring and control of environmental conditions such as temperature, pH, humidity, and water quality. This study aims to design and build a Node-RED-based aquaponic monitoring and control system. This system uses various sensors to monitor environmental conditions and provide automatic control of parameters that affect plant and fish growth. By using Node-RED as a platform for sensor and control integration, this system is expected to provide an efficient and affordable solution to increase the productivity of the aquaponic system. The results of the study show that the designed tool can carry out effective monitoring and control of parameters that affect the aquaponic system, and can be accessed in real-time to facilitate system management and supervision.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a significant role in the economy, but often face obstacles in accessing financing. Credit performance guarantee is one of the mechanisms to mitigate risks for financial institutions. Along with the development of financial technology, innovative credit scoring emerged as an alternative method of assessing the creditworthiness of MSMEs. This research aims to analyze the legal effectiveness of the application of MSME credit performance guarantees based on innovative credit scoring. This research uses a normative juridical method with qualitative juridical analysis to try to examine and analyze the problems studied. The application of innovative credit scoring in MSME credit performance guarantees has the potential to increase the legal effectiveness of guarantees through a more comprehensive and accurate risk assessment. However, its implementation requires regulatory clarity regarding scoring standards, personal data protection, and dispute resolution mechanisms. An adaptive and responsive legal framework to technological innovation is crucial to optimize the role of innovative credit scoring in strengthening the effectiveness of MSME credit performance guarantees and promoting financial inclusion.
 
 
 

This study aims to analyze the extent to which motivation influences students' learning interest in the Islamic Cultural History (SKI) subject at MTs Muslimat NU Palangka Raya. The research was prompted by the phenomenon of low student interest in learning, despite the relatively high levels of motivation provided by teachers. A quantitative approach with a descriptive method was employed in this study. The sample consisted of 70 students from grades VII and VIII, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation, and analyzed using simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The results revealed a significant relationship between motivation and learning interest, although the correlation was negative. This is evidenced by a significance value of 0.009, which is less than 0.05, and a correlation coefficient of -0.330. In other words, an increase in motivation appears to be inversely related to students’ interest in the SKI subject. These findings suggest that not all forms of motivation have a positive effect on learning interest, highlighting the need to reevaluate the motivational strategies applied in schools. It is hoped that this study can serve as a reference for educators in developing more effective teaching strategies that can foster student interest in learning in a positive and sustainable

In Tanjungpinang, street vendors' (PKL) resistance to government policy demonstrates the complex dynamics of informal economy management. The purpose of this research is to gain an understanding of the different types of PKL resistance, the methods they use, and how it impacts on local economic policy.

The results show that street vendors not only carry out physical resistance, but also carry out symbolic and cultural actions. As a result, organized social movements emerge. The government's top-down policies often cause tensions, so discussions and cooperation are needed to create more inclusive and participatory policies. Economic empowerment, spatial flexibility, and the development of public-private partnerships are some of the suggested solutions. It is hoped that this research will make a significant contribution to building a policy model that is more responsive to the social realities of society, especially with regard to vulnerable groups.

This study highlights how local wisdom can serve as an effective medium for instilling the values of gotong royong in younger generations.

The aim of this study is to develop and substantiate a structural and content model for the formation of foreign language communicative competence (FLCC) in students of natural science specialties within the context of professionally oriented education. The research identifies the key components of FLCC, including linguistic, sociocultural, pragmatic, and strategic elements, alongside essential subcompetencies crucial for effective communication in both scientific and professional contexts. The study utilizes a blend of professional-competence, professional-personality-oriented, professional-interactive, and subject-professional approaches to ensure alignment with modern professional standards and to address the individual learning needs of students. It also outlines the necessary linguodidactic conditions for the successful implementation of the model, emphasizing the integration of foreign language training with specialized scientific disciplines, the promotion of active communicative practices, the enhancement of students’ academic autonomy, and the modular structuring of content. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in systematically developing students’ capacity for professional and scientific communication in a foreign language.
