The purpose of this research is to investigate various strategies and elements that contribute to the increase in votes for the National Awakening Party (PKB) in the 2024 elections, with a particular emphasis on the Central Java region. This research uses a descriptive qualitative methodology, which collects data through field observations, document analysis, and in-depth interviews.

This study found that the combination of these elements will significantly increase PKB's votes in Central Java and provide a new perspective on local political changes leading up to the 2024 elections.
 

The purpose of this study is to identify the various aspects that support the learning absorption of junior high school students enrolled in a full-day school program. The research uses a descriptive method, with a sample of 65 students from SMP Negeri 1 Kalasan. The data collection technique employed was a questionnaire, followed by categorizing the items by calculating the total score, determining scales, and describing the results.Based on the responses provided by the students, it was found that 17 items, representing 46.15% of the responses, indicated that the supporting aspects of learning absorption were very high, with external factors playing a significant role. Among the external factors—family, school, and community environments—the family environment was most frequently selected by the students, resulting in the highest score. The supporting aspects of learning absorption indicated by 13 items, with a percentage of 53.85%, showed that the learning absorption aspect was high, with the highest contributing factor being the external community environment.The findings of this study show that the most influential supporting aspect in helping students achieve good learning absorption in a full-day school program is the external family environment. However, other supporting aspects also follow, such as the external community, internal physical and psychological factors, and the external school environment.

Education in the era of globalization demands the development of students' social skills, including collaboration, to prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century. One effective method to train these skills is small group discussions, which encourage students to share ideas, listen to other perspectives, and reach consensus. This study aims to identify effective strategies in guiding small group discussions to improve student collaboration, focusing on the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a case study design in one of the high schools that implements the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and student collaboration questionnaires. The results of the study indicate that effective strategies include the use of open-ended questions, providing constructive feedback, and dividing roles in groups. In addition, the dynamics of small group discussions can be improved with good conflict management by teachers. This study also found that small group discussions can improve students' collaboration skills, which are reflected in communication, individual responsibility, and group decision making. Implications for the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum show the importance of teacher training to improve the ability to guide small group discussions effectively. This study provides practical and theoretical contributions to the development of collaboration-based learning in Indonesia.

This research aims to design and develop effective learning media, which is based on animated videos about the importance of tolerance and communication ethics. The method used in this research is qualitative with an R&D (Research and Development) approach. The research subjects involved three material experts, one media expert, as well as Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers and Counseling Guidance (BK) teachers. The results showed that the material feasibility test using the Aiken-V index obtained a value of 0.84, which indicates a very high category and means very feasible. While the results of the media feasibility test reached a value of 1, which also means very high and feasible. Thus, this video-based learning media is very feasible to use to improve students' understanding of religious tolerance and communication ethics. However, there are some evaluations related to this learning media, especially regarding the duration of the video which is considered too long. This can cause students to lose focus and interest. Therefore, it is recommended to revise the duration of the video to make it more concise and concise, so that it can increase the effectiveness of material delivery.

This study aims to analyze the use of the Al-Ma’any Online Dictionary in supporting the development of Arabic vocabulary mastery among students in PBA 2 class at UIN Sumatera Utara. The primary issue observed among students is the lack of optimal utilization of the online dictionary due to certain challenges in its usage. The focus of this research is to explore how students utilize the online dictionary to enrich their vocabulary and its impact on their Arabic language proficiency. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through interviews with students, observations of dictionary usage, and analysis of student assignments. The findings indicate that the Al-Ma’any Online Dictionary is effective in helping students expand their vocabulary, particularly in discovering word meanings and their usage in various contexts. However, some challenges were identified, such as limited understanding of subtle word meanings and dependency on internet connectivity. This study suggests that vocabulary development through the use of online dictionaries can be optimized by providing guidance and further training for students in utilizing the dictionary's features more comprehensively.

Indonesia, as a nation that officially recognizes religious pluralism, faces unique challenges within its judiciary system, particularly with respect to the exclusive Islamic Religious Courts. Referencing various laws and regulations, such as Law No. 3 of 2006 on Religious Courts, which caters only to Muslims, there exists a potential for discrimination that could impact social harmony and justice. This research aims to investigate possible discriminatory practices in the Religious Courts and explores a comparison with the judiciary system in the Netherlands, which is more inclusive and comprehensive in handling religious cases. Utilizing juridical-normative, comparative, and statutory approaches, this study examines the urgency of integrating the Religious Courts with the Civil Courts to create a more effective and inclusive judiciary system in Indonesia. Findings suggest that this integration is crucial to eliminate exclusive preferences and discriminatory practices, ensuring equal access to justice for all citizens regardless of their religious affiliation. The study recommends legislative reform in judicial laws to include principles of inclusivity, which will strengthen equality and justice across Indonesia.

The "reborn" phenomenon of former President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) following the conclusion of his term has introduced a new dynamic into Indonesian politics. Unlike most former leaders who opt to retreat from the public eye to focus on personal or spiritual pursuits, Jokowi remains actively engaged in various public activities. His consistent presence, warmly received by the public, has sparked speculation about the motivations behind his involvement and its implications for the new administration under President Prabowo Subianto. Jokowi’s continued visibility in the public sphere raises concerns about the potential blurring of authority between the new leadership and the perception that his political influence remains significant even after stepping down.
This article seeks to analyse the motivations and impacts of Jokowi’s post-presidency engagement from social, political, and psychological perspectives. Additionally, it explores Javanese cultural traditions, such as the concept of “lengser keprabon madeg pandito ratu,” which underscores the importance of spiritual reflection for former leaders. By understanding this historical and cultural context, this study aims to provide insights into how a former leader can maintain relevance in modern Indonesian politics and the implications for political stability and power consolidation during the transition to a new administration.
