The Application of Clay Media-Based Scientific Learning in Improving Children's Collaboration Skills
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to examine how the application of scientific learning based on clay media can improve students' collaboration skills. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation and interviews with teachers and children involved in learning using clay media. The results showed that the application of clay media in scientific learning significantly improved several aspects of child development, including: (1) improved the ability to work together, where children learn to share tasks and complete tasks together; (2) improving problem-solving skills, because children can think critically to find solutions in the process of making works using clay; (3) increased creativity, as seen from the ability of children to produce new ideas in the process of working; and (4) improved fine motor skills, since the use of clay involves hand-eye coordination. The implication of this research is that clay media can be an effective tool in improving children's social and motor skills, as well as encouraging creativity in a fun learning process

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CORRUPTION ERADICATION LAW IN SUPPRESSING CORRUPT PRACTICES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Get PDFThis research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Corruption Eradication Law in suppressing corrupt practices in the public sector in Indonesia. Corruption in the public sector is one of the biggest challenges in creating clean and accountable governance. The research uses a descriptive-qualitative approach, by collecting data through literature reviews, in-depth interviews with legal experts, and analysis of legal documents and reports of corruption cases handled by related institutions such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), the Police, and the Attorney General's Office. The research results show that although the Corruption Eradication Law has provided a comprehensive legal framework, its implementation still faces various challenges. The main obstacles include weak coordination between law enforcement agencies, political influence that weakens the independence of institutions such as the Corruption Eradication Committee, and limited application of technology in public sector oversight. In addition, a systemic culture of corruption in various public institutions slows down the expected changes. However, law enforcement efforts supported by the active role of civil society and the media have shown a positive impact in increasing public awareness of the dangers of corruption. Implementing preventive measures, such as strengthening technology-based systems of transparency and accountability and anti-corruption education, is seen as a key element in maximizing the effectiveness of this policy. This research recommends institutional reform, increased legal protection for whistleblowers, and strong political commitment to strengthen efforts to eradicate corruption. With these strategic steps, it is hoped that the Corruption Eradication Law will be more effective in suppressing corrupt practices in the public sector systematically and sustainably

Towards Madrasah Excellence: Shaping a Competitive Culture through Transformational Leadership
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze transformational leadership in shaping institutional performance in higher education that is integrated with spiritual values and local wisdom. The approach used is a qualitative case study, collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data are analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model thematic analysis technique, which includes data collection, data reduction, and theme arrangement.

This study provides implications about the importance of cultural and spiritual contexts in educational leadership practices. Integrating these values creates a harmonious academic environment, strengthens innovation, collaboration, and engagement, and supports the achievement of institutional goals sustainably

Application of the Composting Method as an Emergency Measure for Household Organic Waste Management
Get PDFAs a tourist destination, Kota Batu must prioritize environmental cleanliness, aesthetics, and urban management in its development. However, the waste management system, which previously functioned well, has significantly deteriorated, leading to a waste emergency. As a result, residents struggle to dispose of household waste as they did before. Initially, waste disposal was done independently, but now the community is required to manage their waste without adequate knowledge. This situation has led to irregular household waste disposal practices. As part of community service efforts, this study applies the composting method as an emergency solution for household organic waste management in Junrejo Village, Junrejo District, Kota Batu. This method is expected not only to address the waste emergency but also to serve as a reference for other regions facing similar challenges. The outcomes of this initiative include the creation of a sample landfill for organic waste management and community education on composting applications. It is hoped that this program can be expanded on a larger scale and serve as a model for community-based waste management. Consequently, this initiative contributes to raising public awareness of the importance of sustainable waste management while supporting the cleanliness and beauty of Kota Batu as a leading tourist destinatio
