Smart Puzzle Team Media to Enhance Students’ Collaborative Attitudes
Get PDFLearning in elementary schools focuses on understanding the material and does not sufficiently involve collaborative student activities. Often, teachers present material that requires students to work in groups with their classmates, but this is unsuccessful. As a result, students\u27 ability to cooperate and share roles is less than optimal. The solution provided by the researcher to overcome this problem is to use a learning medium called the Smart Puzzle Team. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method, which describes phenomena as they are scientifically by collecting data from interviews, observations, and collaborative attitude assessment sheets for students. This study aims to determine how the Deep Learning approach combined with the Smart Puzzle Team media, in this case, to shape students\u27 collaborative attitudes, and what the results of the implementation are after using this media. The research results indicate that the integration between the deep learning approach and the Smart Puzzle Team learning media was successful in fostering students\u27 collaborative attitudes at MI Al Fithrah Surabaya
THE EFFICIENCY OF SMALL-SCALE INSTRUCTION STRATEGIES IN INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO EDUCATE ENGLISH-SPEAKING TEACHERS
Get PDFThis study explores the pedagogical impact of small-scale instruction strategies, also known as microteaching, on the professional development of English-speaking educators. In response to the persistent theory-practice divide in teacher education, small-scale instruction offers a practical framework for skill-based learning through iterative teaching sessions, guided feedback, and reflective practices. This research investigates how microteaching enhances classroom performance, instructional confidence, and student-centered delivery. The study applies a qualitative, literature-based method and synthesizes findings from over 80 global and regional peer-reviewed sources. Key challenges identified include inadequate theoretical integration, insufficient instructional resources, limited digital infrastructure, and evaluation gaps. At the same time, the literature highlights the potential of video-based feedback, context-sensitive teaching simulations, and constructivist alignment to optimize learning outcomes. The findings advocate for a comprehensive, digitally supported, and culturally responsive microteaching framework, particularly suited for low-resource and linguistically diverse educational contexts. This paper contributes to teacher training discourse by offering scalable, evidence-based models adaptable to dynamic classroom environments
Modalities of the First Female Regional Head in North Maluku in the 2020 Sula Islands Regional Election
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the modalities of Fifian Adeningsi Mus as a candidate in the 2020 Sula Islands regional election. Using qualitative methods and a case study approach, this study employed content analysis techniques on 174 news items from seven local media outlets that reported most intensively on Fifian’s participation in the Sula Islands regional election during the reporting period from August 28, 2020, to February 28, 2021. The results, based on NVivo 12 plus analysis, indicate that social modality is the most dominant modality narrated by local media in North Maluku, compared to economic, political, cultural, and symbolic modalities. This article contributes to explaining the election of women as regional heads (especially for regions that have never had female regional heads before), supported by the accumulation of previously built modalities. However, the main contribution to women’s election comes from dynastic politics. Therefore, the presence of women in strategic positions can be encouraged through a competitive selection process and a focus on the capacity and capabilities of candidates, so that the election of women as regional heads does not rely solely on the family name (political dynasty)
Local Government Policy on The Impact of Climate Change in Coastal Regions Based on The Concept of Green Autonomy (Environmental Autonomy)
Get PDFThe current centralized regime is preventing the implementation of climate change policy in line with the needs of affected regions. Consequently, many regions with distinctive coastal and small-island characteristics have been adversely affected by centralized policy largely due to a lack of regional government authority to establish climate change mitigation policy tailored to local needs. In this context, mitigation efforts based on green autonomy, namely the authority of regional government to establish climate change mitigation policy, are essential. Therefore, this research aims to identify the form of regional government policy addressing the impacts of climate change in coastal and small island regions, based on environmentally friendly autonomy. A doctrinal legal method was used with a descriptive-analytical approach, specifically a juridical-normative analysis that provides a descriptive analysis of regional government authority in climate change prevention. The results showed that the concept of climate change based on green autonomy emphasizes regional authority, independence, and independence in environmental management, particularly climate change efforts. This approach is operationalized by establishing cross-sectoral policy across structured and non-structured stages, starting with preparing coastal spatial plans consistent with regional interests without excluding national objectives. In conclusion, the concept of green autonomy offers a value contribution for government consideration in establishing climate change mitigation policy, and represents a new legal development for regional government in implementing concurrent authority matters
Regulating Online Dispute Resolution in The Digital Era: A Comparative Socio-Legal Analysis
Get PDFThis paper examines the growing relevance of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) as a mechanism for resolving conflicts in the digital era. It explores how ODR challenges traditional legal concepts, partic-ularly the definition of “written form,” and how it contributes to fair, efficient, and accessible dispute settlement at both domestic and international levels. The study employs a socio-legal approach, com-bining doctrinal analysis of international and national regulations with comparative research across jurisdictions. Empirical insights from surveys and interviews with practitioners and users of ODR platforms supplement the analysis, highlighting the practical effectiveness and limitations of ODR in real-world contexts. ODR has emerged as a critical tool in e-commerce and digital transactions, with global online buyers projected to exceed 2 billion. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated its adoption, making digital mediation and arbitration a necessity rather than an option. Despite its advantages in accessibility and efficiency, gaps remain in legal harmonization, recognition of electronic communications as valid “written forms,” and trust in digital platforms
Administrative Dysfunction in Non-Quota Hajj Management: An Analysis of the 2025 Furoda Hajj Case in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study discusses the failure of public services in the implementation of non-quota Hajj (Furoda Hajj) in 2025 in Indonesia using an administrative analysis approach. The case of Haji Furoda 2025 reflects the dysfunction of the service, ranging from weak verification, lack of supervision by PIHK, to unclear rules in handling violations. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach to provide an in-depth overview of the studied phenomenon. The Data Collection Technique through In-Depth Interviews was carried out in a semi-structured manner, including the affected Furoda Hajj pilgrims, PIHK Leaders, DPD Chairmen, and literature in the public policy and state administration. Data Analysis Technique: The data obtained is analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model interactive analysis technique. The results of the study show that the failure in the case of Haji Furoda stemmed from the failure of public services not only due to technical errors, but also due to institutions that were unable to manage, coordinate, and adapt. The implementation of non-quota hajj faces various administrative problems that are not accountable and unresponsive. Institutional failure can be seen in the inability to ensure accountability and successful outcomes. The data discrepancy between PIHK and the Hajj authorities shows weak public information management. In addition, poor inter-agency coordination and low administrative resilience make the bureaucracy fail to anticipate emergencies. Regulatory ambiguity and weak law enforcement further worsen the situation, opening up space for abuse of authority. This study recommends the need for governance reform of the implementation of non-quota hajj through clearer regulations, strict audit mechanisms, cross-agency data integration, empowerment of frontline workers, and service design oriented to the needs of pilgrims. This effort is important so that non-quota hajj services in the future are more transparent, accountable, and able to provide stronger protection for pilgrims
Onomastic Analysis of Arab Proper Names: Identity Category, Origin, and Quranic Presence
Get PDFAccurate identification of the gender of Arab personal names is crucial for proper grammatical and cultural usage. Observing first-semester Arabic Education students using al-‘Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk (Vol. 1, dars 56, wahdah 7), the name \u27Ilham\u27 was treated as male. However, the textbook lists it as female, affecting feminine markers. The study aimed to analyze Arab personal names to determine their gender classification, origin, and Quranic linkage. Three approaches were applied to 30 Arab proper names, selected on the assumption that 15 were male and 15 were female, using dictionary consultation, computational tools (namsor.app and genderize.io), and social media searches. Each name was examined to verify gender, determine its linguistic or geographical origin (Arabic or non-Arabic), and identify its occurrences in the Quran. Based on the three approaches, the overall gender distribution of the names was 40.83% male, 48.33% female, and 10.83% gender-neutral. Most names (93%) were Arabic, with 7% non-Arabic. The origins were predominantly Middle Eastern, with limited representation from other regions. Approximately one-third (33.33%) were mentioned in the Quran. Among the 30 names analyzed, 23 were clearly gendered (10 male, 13 female), 1 was neutral or mutual, and six showed variation across sources. The study showed that naming practices among Arabs reflect identity, social belonging, and cultural continuity. The findings may benefit educators, translators, students, and researchers, although the small dataset and preliminary classification criteria limit them
When Ritual Meets the Feed: TikTok, Mediatization, and the Reconfiguration of Hindu Religious Authority
Get PDFPurpose: This study analyzes how a Hindu pandita’s transcendent communication (mantra recitation and ritual practice) is mediatized on TikTok by examining content characteristics, engagement dynamics, and audience negotiations between sacred values and platform logic. Methodology: Using a qualitative netnographic approach, the study focuses on the TikTok account @idapandita65. Data were collected through non-participant observation of 86 video posts and 2,144 user comments from January–April 2025, alongside recorded engagement metrics (likes, views, and comments). Findings: Three main findings emerged. First, extended rituals were recontextualized into short-form videos with an average duration of 3.2 minutes, and 67.4% of posts involved self-recording during mantra/ritual performance. Second, engagement increased sharply in April 2025 (20,322 likes; 509,204 views), representing 5,084% and 4,822% increases respectively compared to January, occurring in temporal proximity to the post-Nyepi period (Nyepi: 29 March 2025) and Galungan (23 April 2025), followed shortly by Kuningan (3 May 2025). Third, audience responses were polarized: 45% were appreciative (n=964), 38% were critical—particularly regarding sanctity, concentration, and sesana in self-recorded ritual content (n=814)—and 17% were humorous/ambivalent (n=366). Implications: Theoretically, the findings suggest that TikTok affordances and platform metrics do not merely transmit religion but actively reshape the logic of spiritual authority through algorithmic visibility and public participation. Practically, the study offers guidance for Hindu leaders and institutions to develop digital strategies that protect ritual integrity (e.g., considering delegated recording), and it highlights for platform designers and policymakers the sensitivity of contemplative and sacred ritual content in entertainment-oriented environments. Originality: This study extends mediatization theory to embodied and sonic Hindu ritual practices on short-video platforms, providing empirical evidence on audience polarization and demonstrating how production methods (self-recording vs. third-party recording) shape perceptions of authenticity and religious legitimacy
Building a Culture of Tolerance Through Sustainable Leadership, Cultural Intelligence, and Social Adaptation: Evidence from a Multicultural Community in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the mechanisms through which a culture of tolerance emerges in multicultural communities by examining three key factors: sustainable leadership (SL), cultural intelligence (CQ), and social adaptation (AD). This focus is crucial because tolerance is often understood as a product of state policy, whereas empirical evidence consistently shows that tolerant practices are primarily constructed through grassroots leadership and everyday social interactions. Methodologically, this research employs a quantitative approach, collecting survey data through Google Forms from residents of Gang Luna, Bandung, West Java, and analyzing the data using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS–SEM). The outer model was evaluated through tests of convergent validity, discriminant validity, internal reliability, and multicollinearity, while the inner model was assessed using R², Q², path coefficients, effect size, and significance testing with 5000 bootstrapped subsamples. The findings reveal three major results. First, sustainable leadership has a positive and significant effect on cultural intelligence, indicating that dialogic and inclusive leadership at the community level strengthens residents’ cultural readiness in navigating differences. Second, cultural intelligence significantly enhances social adaptation, as individuals with higher CQ demonstrate stronger abilities to adjust, recognize cultural sensitivities, and maintain intergroup harmony. Third, SL, CQ, and AD jointly shape a stable and sustainable culture of tolerance. The mediating effects of CQ and AD show that tolerance is not merely the outcome of formal policy but is produced through social learning, difference management, and everyday cross-identity interaction. The study’s implications highlight the importance of strengthening community leadership capacity, expanding intercultural literacy programs, and reformulating tolerance policies to be more responsive to the lived social dynamics of residents. In terms of originality, this research offers an empirical model that explains the pathways of tolerance formation grounded in everyday multiculturalism and community-driven leadership—an area that remains underexplored in Indonesian tolerance studies
Constructing a Universal Ruler: Sultan Mehmet II and Hybrid Legitimacies of the Ottoman Empire
Get PDFThis study revisits the complex
imperial identity of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II (Muhammad al-Fatih), to challenge the conventional portrayal of his reign as exclusively Islamic. While modern Muslim communities in Indonesia and Turkiye celebrate him as an ideal Islamic hero, a closer reading of historical sources reveals a ruler whose legitimacy emerged from a deliberate synthesis of Islamic, Byzantine, and Persian traditions—an identity best described as Islamicate. Through a critical examination of Tursun Beg’s Tarih-i Ebü’l-Feth, this study demonstrates how Intellectuals strategically wove together sacred, political and aesthetic symbols to construct Mehmed II’s authority as a universal ruler rather than a merely Muslim conqueror. By unsettling the binary of Islamic versus Christian civilizations, this study situates Mehmet II within a broader, polycentric Islamicate world and highlights the continuing relevance of his hybrid legitimacy for rethinking pluralism and political identity in contemporary Muslim societies
