This research examines the transformation of educational sociological thinking in Islam, with a focus on the contributions of classical scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Khaldun, and Al-Farabi. These three figures integrate education with social, moral and spiritual values, creating a holistic approach that not only emphasizes intellectual development, but also character formation. Al-Ghazali emphasized the importance of balanced education between worldly and ukhrawi knowledge, while Ibn Khaldun, through al-umran theory, viewed education as a tool to maintain social cohesion and build a just civilization. Al-Farabi, with his thoughts about the ideal society, emphasized the role of education in creating virtuous individuals. The research method used is a literature review with a qualitative-descriptive approach to analyze the relevance of these thoughts in facing contemporary educational challenges. The results show that even though they come from different historical contexts, their thoughts remain relevant, especially in responding to today's educational challenges which prioritize a balance between science, morality and spirituality. Thus, the contribution of sociological thought to education in Islam has had a significant impact on the social structure and development of Muslim education to date.
 
 

The rapid advancement of technology has led to an increasing demand for electrical energy. One of the efforts to meet this demand is the development of micro-capacity power generation systems utilizing heat energy. Heat energy can be harnessed using thermoelectric elements. This study aims to design and develop a portable power generation system that utilizes solar heat as an energy source. The prototype uses six TEC 1-12706 thermoelectric modules to generate electricity designed specifically to recharge devices such as phones, power banks, and flashlights. Solar heat is concentrated on the thermoelectric modules using Fresnel lenses, while heatsinks are employed for cooling. The thermoelectric modules are connected in series to produce sufficient voltage, which is then boosted by a boost converter. The generated electrical energy is stored in a battery to ensure voltage stability despite temperature fluctuations. This device can also operate at night due to the energy stored in the battery. Test results show that the average output voltage without load ranges from 9.49V to 9.56V, with an average temperature of 45.2°C at the thermoelectric modules. In load tests, the device successfully charged a Pixel 5 phone (5000 mAh battery) from 4% to 70% in 95 minutes. These results demonstrate the potential of this system as a reliable and environmentally friendly portable energy solution.

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) and Non-Formal Education (PNF) play a crucial role in human resource development, particularly during the early stages of individual growth. The Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) and the External Quality Assurance System (SPME) are key components in ensuring sustainable educational quality. SPMI focuses on self-evaluation by institutions to meet the National Education Standards, while SPME involves external parties for evaluation and accreditation. This study employs a literature review approach to assess the concepts and implementation of SPMI and SPME, as well as their impact on improving education quality in the PAUD/PNF sector. Findings indicate that the combination of these two systems can systematically, strategically, and sustainably enhance educational quality, although challenges such as inadequate facilities and irrelevant educator standards still need to be addressed. These quality assurance systems are vital in delivering high-quality education that supports children’s optimal development.
