Nurul Liyana, Muhammad Hanif, Parji Parji — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

This study aims to improve the social skills of Class A students at TK Kartika IV-17 Kota Madiun, who generally still demonstrate low levels of social competence, particularly in the areas of cooperation, communication, sharing, participation, and adaptation. One contributing factor to this low level of social skill is that previous learning activities did not provide sufficient direct and collaborative experiences that enable children to interact optimally. Therefore, this research was conducted to enhance children’s social skills through the implementation of the group experiment method. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design consisting of two cycles, each involving planning, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation and documentation and were analyzed qualitatively to identify improvements in children’s social development. The findings indicate that the group experiment method effectively improved children’s social skills. The total social skill score increased from 134 in the pre-cycle phase (Beginning to Develop) to 190 in Cycle I (Beginning to Develop) and rose significantly to 350 in Cycle II (Developing Very Well). Classically, all 19 children reached the BSH and BSB categories in Cycle II, surpassing the performance indicator of 80%. Thus, the group experiment method proved effective in providing active, collaborative, and meaningful learning experiences that enhance the social skills of Class A students at TK Kartika IV-17 Madiun City.

Okis Kumaladani, Raden Johnny Hadi Raharjo — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:16:00 +0000

This study analyzes the role of business feasibility studies in supporting the expansion of a logistics company’s distribution network in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. The research is motivated by the rapid infrastructure development in Indonesia, particularly in the IKN area, which has significantly increased cement demand and created a gap in distribution capacity. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, internal documentation, and literature review. The findings reveal that business feasibility studies function as a strategic instrument that integrates analyses of market, technical-operational, management and human resources, financial, and legal aspects. Market and financial aspects are identified as the dominant factors in determining expansion feasibility, while technical, managerial, and legal aspects serve as supporting factors that ensure operational readiness and regulatory compliance. This study contributes to the development of feasibility study literature by emphasizing that in the cement distribution industry, characterized by high logistical complexity, expansion decisions are driven by the rational integration of market opportunities and the company’s financial capacity, thereby providing strategic implications for the sustainability of corporate operations.

Improving Cooperation and Self-Confidence Through Role-Playing in Group B Students of Kartika IV-17 Kindergarten, Madiun City

Dyah Astuti Widyarini — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:24:50 +0000

This study seeks to enhance the collaboration abilities and self-confidence of Group B pupils at TK Kartika IV-17 Madiun, which were identified as being relatively low. This deficiency resulted from the frequent application of the storytelling approach, which was once regarded as effective but, in actuality, depended largely on children's exercises (LKA) and inert listening. Observations indicated that this approach was unsuccessful in promoting collaboration and self-assurance. Therefore, this study was carried out to improve these skills through the use of role-playing techniques. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) comprised two cycles, adhering to the processes of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were gathered via observation and documentation, then analyzed to assess the enhancement in students' cooperation and self-confidence. The findings demonstrated that the role-playing technique significantly enhanced both attributes among students in Group B. Cooperation scores rose from a pre-cycle score of 108 (Poor) to 198 (Good) in Cycle I, and further increased substantially to 273 (Excellent) in Cycle II. Self-confidence scores increased from a pre-cycle score of 105 (Poor) to 213 (Good) during Cycle I, and reached 268 (Excellent) in Cycle II. Thus, the role-playing method has been demonstrated to offer an effective, collaborative, and meaningful learning experience that enhances the cooperation and self-confidence of Group B students at TK Kartika IV-17 Madiun.

Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Education

Nurul Islami, Fazal Akmal Musyarri — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze theological studies and regulations regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Islamic education. There has been a rapid change in digitalization and a lack of regulation. The use of AI in Islamic education presents challenges, including the moral interaction between students and technology. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method, and the data analysis technique is carried out using descriptive-analytical techniques, namely by critically reviewing the content of the literature to identify patterns of thought and comparing the concepts of theological studies with regulations on the use of artificial intelligence in Islamic education. The results of the study indicate that artificial intelligence can enhance personalized learning, administrative efficiency, and facilitate access to religious resources; however, it also raises theological issues regarding the validity of interpretations generated by algorithms, as well as the need for supervision by scholars in the chain of knowledge. Meanwhile, from the regulatory concept, there appears to be ambiguity in the existing norms; current regulations and circular letters from the ministry only provide limited protection and there are no specific rules for AI in the context of religious education. AI can be used as a tool to support the roles of clerics and teachers, not to replace them, and to provide suggestions. It is recommended that specific regulations, transparency in algorithms, data protection measures, and oversight by teachers be implemented.

Kitab Ta'limul Muta'allim as a Counter-Culture Medium for the Moral Crisis of Adolescents

Innayatus Sholihah Al-Chanin, Duwi Habsari Mutamimah, Muhammad Fahmi Maulana — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The moral crisis of adolescents characterized by declining manners, enthusiasm for learning, and social concern has become a serious challenge in Islamic education. This study aims to examine the role of the book Ta'limul Muta'allim as a counter-culture medium to the symptoms of moral decadence among the students of the MA Ma'arif Pacitan Dormitory. This study uses a qualitative approach with a contextual study method. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the book of Ta'limul Muta'allim plays an important role in shaping the character of students through the internalization of the values of manners, responsibility, and spirituality. These values are instilled through regular recitation, worship habits, and integration in madrasah culture. Its role as a medium of character education as well as a counter-culture tool has proven to be effective in responding to adolescent moral crises, especially through strengthening teacher examples, a culture of discipline, and support from the family environment. These findings affirm the importance of preserving and strengthening the tradition of classical book education as the foundation for the formation of adolescent characters that are adaptive to the challenges of the times and remain rooted in Islamic values.

Dandi Handika Bayu, Luqi Darmawan, Muhammad Syuhada' Subir — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 08:56:29 +0000

Digital transformation in the management of Islamic educational institutions is a strategic need in the modern era that demands efficiency, transparency, and speed in data management. This study aims to examine the implementation of the web-based Islamic Education Management Information System (SIMPI) at MA Ma'arif 03 Sidomulyo and its impact on service efficiency and institutional governance. This research uses a field qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the implementation of SIMPI has had a positive impact in accelerating the administrative process, improving data accuracy, and facilitating access to information, especially in the management of student data, academic grades, and finances. However, the system has not been implemented evenly. Some units such as teacher attendance, letter archiving, and teacher performance evaluation are still running manually. The main challenges faced are the low digital literacy of users, the lack of continuous technical training, the limited supporting infrastructure, and the lack of comprehensive system integration between units. This research recommends strengthening human resources, improving infrastructure, and institutional commitment so that management digitalization can run optimally and sustainably.
