Fachrul Yasin, Muhammad Agustia Rohman — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This classroom action research aims to increase students' enthusiasm in learning multiplication through the implementation of an interactive Tug of War game for second-grade students at MI NU Mathalibul Huda Mlonggo. The research was conducted in two cycles using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, involving 35 students (15 males and 20 females). Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, tests, and documentation. Initial observation showed low student enthusiasm (average 23.4%). After implementing the modified Tug of War game—which integrates multiplication problems with physical tug-of-war activities, group collaboration, and healthy competition—student enthusiasm increased significantly. In Cycle I, the average enthusiasm reached 74% (high category). In Cycle II, it rose to 87% (very high category). Improvements were also observed in students' understanding of multiplication concepts, as evidenced by the increase in the number of students achieving mastery. The findings indicate that the Tug of War interactive game effectively creates a fun, active, and meaningful learning environment that aligns with the characteristics of young learners. This approach not only boosts enthusiasm and participation but also fosters collaboration and reduces mathematics anxiety. The study recommends the wider use of traditional game-based learning in elementary mathematics education.

This study examines the relationship between Islamic boarding school institutions and social communities in building social harmony using Robert D. Putnam’s social capital framework and the concept of trust as a catalyst for social relations. Based on qualitative field research conducted at Darul Abror Islamic Boarding School in Watumas, Purwokerto, and its surrounding communities, this study aims to identify, analyze, and measure the role of trust in strengthening social capital between the pesantren and society. The study employs a qualitative case study approach through participant observation, in-depth interviews with pesantren authorities, community leaders, and local residents, as well as documentation techniques. The findings reveal that the social capital of the pesantren operates through three forms—bonding, bridging, and linking social capital—along with reciprocity practices that serve as the primary mechanisms for building social harmony. Public trust in the kiai and the pesantren institution functions as a catalyst that accelerates the circulation of social capital, minimizes social friction, and enables collective action across communities. The findings confirm that social harmony between pesantren and the community is not formed automatically, but rather through a continuous process of institutionalizing social capital. This study contributes to the development of social capital theory within the context of religious societies while also offering practical recommendations for managing pesantren-community relations in the modern era.

Dinamika peran sekolah dasar dalam pelestarian nilai sosial budaya di era globalisasi

Silfia Aribatun Nabilah, Muh Hanif — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research discusses how an elementary school transforms into a stronghold for preserving socio-cultural values amid the rapid influence of globalization in the environment of SD Negeri Pasir Wetan. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method using observation, interviews, and document collection techniques conducted on May 7, 2026. Research data were obtained from the principal, teachers, and students. The purpose of this study was to reveal the school’s contribution in preserving social culture, the teachers’ efforts in character building, and the impact of global modernization on children’s socio-cultural behaviour. The findings indicate that the school plays a significant role in maintaining cultural identity through Banyumasan cultural learning, character education, the cultivation of politeness, togetherness activities, and the celebration of national holidays. Teachers also serve as real-life role models in instilling discipline, solidarity, responsibility, and respect among students through both classroom learning and daily activities. In addition, the school attempts to integrate local culture with modern technological developments so that students continue to recognize their cultural roots despite living in the digital era. Nevertheless, the influence of social media and globalization is still evident in students’ behaviour, such as the dominance of slang language usage, increasing interest in digital culture, and the gradual decline in the use of regional languages. Therefore, the school continues to strengthen cultural preservation through character education, cultural programs, and collaboration with parents in supervising children’s use of technology. This study confirms that elementary schools play an important role as spaces for character development and guardians of the continuity of society’s socio-cultural values.

Rekonstruksi pembelajaran pendidikan agama Islam: Pendekatan teori humanistik Abraham Maslow

Anisa Meilawati — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) continues to face various challenges in its implementation, particularly the tendency of learning to focus primarily on knowledge transfer and the achievement of cognitive outcomes. This condition results in learning processes that are less capable of addressing the affective, spiritual, and character-building dimensions of students in a comprehensive manner. Consequently, although students may possess adequate religious knowledge, they are not always able to internalize Islamic values in their daily lives. Therefore, there is a need to reconstruct IRE learning into a more humanistic, transformative, and student-centred approach that promotes the holistic development of learners' potential. This study aims to analyse Abraham Maslow’s humanistic theory, examine its relevance to Islamic Religious Education, and formulate a reconstruction of IRE learning based on Maslow’s humanistic theory. This research employs a library research method by reviewing various scholarly works related to humanistic theory, Islamic education, and Islamic Religious Education learning. The findings indicate that Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is highly relevant to the objectives of Islamic Religious Education in fostering the comprehensive development of learners toward becoming insan kamil (the complete human being). The fulfilment of physiological needs, safety needs, love and belongingness, esteem needs, and self-actualization can serve as a foundation for creating more effective and meaningful IRE learning. The reconstruction of IRE learning based on Maslow’s theory includes the formulation of holistic learning objectives, the implementation of dialogical, reflective, and student-centred learning approaches, the strengthening of teachers’ roles as facilitators and mentors, and the development of assessment systems that emphasize not only cognitive achievement but also affective and spiritual development. Thus, Islamic Religious Education can be transformed from a mere process of knowledge transmission into a process of character formation and the holistic development of human beings.

===============

Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan dalam pelaksanaannya, terutama kecenderungan pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada transfer pengetahuan dan pencapaian aspek kognitif semata. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan proses pembelajaran kurang mampu menyentuh aspek afektif, spiritual, dan pembentukan karakter peserta didik secara optimal. Akibatnya, peserta didik memiliki pengetahuan keagamaan yang cukup, namun belum sepenuhnya mampu menginternalisasikan nilai-nilai Islam dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan rekonstruksi pembelajaran PAI yang lebih humanis, transformatif, dan berorientasi pada pengembangan potensi peserta didik secara menyeluruh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis teori humanistik Abraham Maslow, mengkaji relevansinya dengan Pendidikan Agama Islam, serta merumuskan rekonstruksi pembelajaran PAI berbasis teori humanistik Maslow. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kepustakaan (library research) dengan mengkaji berbagai literatur yang berkaitan dengan teori humanistik, pendidikan Islam, dan pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teori hierarki kebutuhan Abraham Maslow memiliki relevansi dengan tujuan Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam mengembangkan seluruh potensi peserta didik menuju insan kamil. Pemenuhan kebutuhan fisiologis, rasa aman, kasih sayang, penghargaan, dan aktualisasi diri dapat menjadi landasan dalam menciptakan pembelajaran PAI yang lebih efektif dan bermakna. Rekonstruksi pembelajaran PAI berbasis teori Maslow dilakukan melalui perumusan tujuan pembelajaran yang holistik, penerapan pendekatan dialogis, reflektif, dan berpusat pada peserta didik, penguatan peran guru sebagai fasilitator dan pembimbing, serta pengembangan sistem evaluasi yang tidak hanya menekankan aspek kognitif tetapi juga aspek afektif dan spiritual. Dengan demikian, pembelajaran PAI dapat bertransformasi dari sekadar proses transfer pengetahuan menjadi proses pembentukan karakter dan pengembangan manusia seutuhnya.

Ranking what matters: Assessing urban park quality at Taman Alun-Alun Regol, Bandung

Nayla Fadhilla Hashifah — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Urban parks contribute to the physical, social, and psychological well-being of city residents, yet their quality is rarely examined through the combined lens of visitor perception and on-site physical condition. This study examines how five interrelated quality factors of public open space – comfort, security, service, basic facilities, and accessibility – relate to visitor comfort at Taman Alun-Alun Regol, a city park in Bandung, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive-analytic design was used, with data collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to park visitors and complemented by structured field observation and interviews with the park’s community management body. Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the relationship between each quality factor and visitor comfort. The results show that all four factors are positively and significantly related to comfort, but with differing strength: security shows the strongest association, followed by service and accessibility, while basic facilities shows the weakest link despite receiving a comparatively favourable quality rating. Security, by contrast, received the lowest perceived-quality rating among the five factors, driven mainly by inadequate night-time lighting. Field observation further revealed discrepancies between visitor perception and actual physical conditions across several indicators. These findings suggest that visitor comfort in urban public open space is shaped more strongly by perceived safety than by facility completeness, with implications for how municipal park management should prioritise maintenance and improvement efforts.

Dinda Melanie Putri — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Universities should produce graduates who are not only academically excellent but also have strong profesional skills and can adapt to new situations caused by technological advancements, globalization, and changing job market needs. One effort that can be made is to incorporate the integration of knowledge into the Economics and Business Faculty (FEB) study programs. Knowledge integration is an approach that applies an interdisciplinary method, such as technology, economics, business, and social sciences, to provide learning that is more comprehensive and relevant to today's world. The aim of this research is to see how knowledge integration is applied in FEB study programs as an effort to make higher education more flexible. Library research was used with a qualitative descriptive approach. This was done by analyzing various scientific literature published in the last five years. The research results show that developing a project-based curriculum, cross-disciplinary collaboration, utilizing digital technology, interdisciplinary learning, and strengthening ethical and character values can enable the implementation of knowledge integration to enhance creativity, critical thinking, and students' readiness to face the dynamic challenges of the workforce. Therefore, one important approach to supporting the creation of higher education that is appropriate, high-quality, and relevant to the development of modern society is knowledge integration.

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of state-owned banks in Indonesia amid the economic slowdown, as indicated by GDP growth of approximately 4.8% in 2025. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the financial statements of government-owned banks, as well as publications from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and Bank Indonesia for the 2023–2025 period. The analysis focuses on profitability ratios (ROA, ROE, NIM), liquidity (LDR), and efficiency (CIR). The results show that despite the economic slowdown in 2024 until 2025, its impact on the financial performance of state-owned banks is relatively moderate. Overall, the banking sector remains stable, although there are indications of declining profitability. The implications of this study highlight the importance of improving operational efficiency, strengthening digitalization strategies, and diversifying revenue sources to maintain resilience and financial performance amid economic pressures.
