Academic Parenting with VAK Strategy: Improving Reading Skills of 5–6-Year-Old Children through Home Learning Environment Optimization in Indonesia
Parental involvement in children\u27s academic caregiving at home plays a crucial role in their holistic and integrative academic development. This study aims to analyze: (1) descriptive statistics, (2) mean differences, (3) correlations, and (4) the influence of family characteristics, child characteristics, knowledge of the VAK academic parenting strategy, and the quality of the caregiving environment on the reading skills of children aged 5–6 years. The study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The participants were 100 stay-at-home mothers residing in Ciputat, South Tangerang, from intact families, with children aged 5–6 years enrolled in early childhood education programs. All mothers were aged 25–40 years, held at least a high school diploma or equivalent, and were not employed. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test indicated significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores, showing increases in all measured variables. Regression analysis revealed that the mother’s age negatively affected children\u27s reading abilities, while the child’s age, gender (with girls performing better), maternal knowledge of the VAK strategy, and the quality of the caregiving environment had significant positive effects. These findings highlight the effectiveness of training in the VAK academic parenting strategy, particularly in helping older mothers transform information into new or improved knowledge that can be applied in caregiving practices at home. A key limitation of this study is its reliance on a single geographic area and a relatively homogeneous sample, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Future research is recommended to include more diverse participant backgrounds and longitudinal tracking to assess the long-term impact of academic parenting strategies
Implementation of the Talaqqi Method in Memorizing Juz ‘Amma among Kindergarteners: A Case Study at Islamic Kindergarten, Banda Aceh
This study explores the implementation of the talaqqi method in Qur’anic memorization of Juz ‘Amma among kindergarten students at Baitussalihin Integrated Islamic Kindergarten in Banda Aceh. Although widely regarded as a foundational pedagogical approach in Islamic education, the talaqqi method remains understudied in early childhood contexts, particularly in relation to its interaction with home learning environments and parental support. The objective of this study is to examine how the talaqqi method is applied in classroom instruction, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing its effectiveness, and assess the extent to which family-school collaboration affects children’s memorization outcomes. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participatory observation and semi-structured interviews involving one principal, one teacher, one parent, and three students from Class B. Data were analyzed thematically using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that while the talaqqi method was implemented systematically through phases of teacher recitation, student repetition (murājaʿah), and evaluation, its success was heavily influenced by contextual factors. Supporting elements included structured tahfīẓ programs, availability of auditory media, and parenting sessions. Inhibiting factors included inconsistent parental involvement, minimal follow-up at home, and difficulties in children’s articulation of makhārij al-ḥurūf. This study contributes to the growing literature on Qur’anic pedagogy by affirming that the effectiveness of talaqqi in early childhood education is not solely determined by instructional methods but also by the alignment between formal and informal learning contexts. Limitations of this study include its focus on a single institutional setting and reliance on qualitative data, which restrict generalizability. Future research should consider longitudinal or mixed-method designs to examine long-term memorization retention and the role of family engagement. Educators and curriculum developers are advised to integrate structured home-school communication mechanisms and provide training for parents in Qur’anic literacy facilitation
Daily Living Skills in Children with Autism: The Impact of Gender, Parental Self-Efficacy, and Grandparenting
Daily Living Skills (ADLS) are essential for the independence and overall development of children. However, for children with autism, these skills often present significant challenges. This quantitative study examines the factors influencing the development of ADLS in autistic children, with a focus on gender, parental self-efficacy, and grandparent involvement. A total of 96 children with autism, aged 4 to 8 years, were recruited from therapy centers and special education schools in Indonesia. Two instruments were used for data collection: a parental self-efficacy scale adapted from Bandura\u27s theory, and the WeeFIM Scale developed by Slomine to assess children’s ADLS performance. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between parental self-efficacy and the development of children’s ADLS, indicating that higher levels of parental confidence are associated with better daily functioning in children. Gender differences were also found, with girls outperforming boys in ADLS mastery. Interestingly, children raised in dual-caregiving environments involving grandparents demonstrated lower ADLS performance compared to those raised primarily by their parents. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening parental self-efficacy through targeted training and support programs. The study also emphasizes the influence of cultural practices, particularly the role of extended family in caregiving, which may impact children\u27s skill development. Future research should further investigate the mechanisms through which grandparent involvement affects ADLS and explore these dynamics using longitudinal designs and cross-cultural comparisons. This study advocates for culturally responsive interventions that support both parents and extended family members in nurturing the daily living skills of children with autism
Empathy as a Predictor of Behavioral Problems in Early Childhood: A Gender-Based Analysis
Unaddressed behavioral problems in early childhood often persist into later life stages. This study aimed to analyze how empathy levels influence behavioral problems among young children and whether this relationship remains significant after controlling for gender. Using an explanatory quantitative design, data were obtained from 141 kindergarten and RA B teachers in Semarang City through a structured questionnaire. The results of frequency analysis showed that children’s empathy levels were entirely within the high category (100%), while behavioral problems were mostly in the low category (70.9%) and moderate category (29%). Multiple regression testing confirmed that empathy significantly reduced problem behaviors (p < 0.05). Emotional contagion, concern for others, and prosocial behavior were the most influential dimensions. When gender was controlled, empathy remained a significant predictor, whereas gender had no direct effect. This study contributes to the growing body of global scholarship on early childhood socio-emotional development by highlighting empathy as a key psychological mechanism for behavioral regulation. It strengthens the theoretical integration between empathy development and behavioral adjustment, offering empirical evidence that supports cross-cultural understanding of emotional and behavioral competencies in early childhood education. The findings suggest that interventions emphasizing emotional contagion, caring, and prosocial responsiveness can effectively reduce behavioral issues regardless of gender. Further studies are recommended to explore cross-contextual factors such as emotional regulation, family interactions, and teacher–child relationships to enrich the explanatory model of empathy’s influence on children’s behavioral outcomes
Repositioning MPI within the Islamic Higher Education Landscape: Strategic Policies and Curriculum Responsiveness for Graduate Employability
This study explores the repositioning of the Islamic Education Management (MPI) study program within the landscape of Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKI), through a strategic review of national policies and curriculum responsiveness to labor market demands. This study aims to provide strategic recommendations for aligning MPI curricula and quality management practices with labor market needs in order to enhance graduate employability. Despite the MPI curriculum having been developed based on the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI) and Learning Outcomes (CPL), tracer studies consistently show low graduate absorption in relevant managerial and educational roles. At the same time, DIKTIS policies, such as the PTKI Curriculum Guide and KMA No. 347/2022, provide normative directions for quality improvement but are hindered by structural and cultural barriers at the program level. This study employs a literature review and institutional policy analysis using official documents and empirical data from several PTKIN campuses. The findings indicate the need to shift from an administrative approach toward outcome-based quality management and intersectoral collaboration. Repositioning MPI requires adaptive curricula, strong engagement with industry, and a more strategic role for DIKTIS as a policy facilitator
QUR’AN-BASED HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN DEVELOPING PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE WITHIN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY AT MI AL-MA’HAD AN-NUR
This study aims to provide a comprehensive depiction of human resource management (HRM) practices at MI Al-Ma’had An-Nur as aligned with values embedded in the Qur’an. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, data were collected through observations, document analysis, and in-depth interviews with the head of the madrasah, a teacher, and a member of the internal quality assurance team, complemented by an analysis of relevant Qur’anic verses. The findings reveal that Qur’anic principles are operationalized in three core HRM dimensions: professional and merit-based recruitment, systematic monitoring and continuous capacity development, and the fulfillment of employee welfare. These practices have strengthened professional competence, integrity, and performance among teachers and educational staff, contributing to institutional effectiveness and rapid organizational growth. The study highlights the significance of integrating Islamic ethical values with modern HRM mechanisms as a viable framework for enhancing educational quality and organizational sustainability. However, the study is limited by its focus on a single institution and its reliance on qualitative data, which may constrain generalizability. Future research is recommended to involve multiple institutions and adopt comparative or mixed-methods approaches to further examine the broader applicability and impact of Qur’an-based HRM models in educational settings
Quality Analysis of the Final Examination Instrument and Its Implication for Student Learning Outcomes in the Fundamentals of Physics II
The low student learning outcomes in the Fundamentals of Physics II raise concerns about the quality of the evaluation instrument used to measure the students’ achievement. This study aims to analyze the quality of the Final Semester Examination (UAS) instrument and its relation with students’ learning outcomes. The subjects of this study were 53 second-semester students from the Department of Physics, Universitas Negeri Malang. The evaluation instruments consisted of 30 multiple-choice questions. The items were analyzed using PSPP statistical software, which functions similarly to SPSS. The analysis involved validity testing using the Pearson Correlation Method, reliability testing using Cronbach’s Alpha, the discrimination power and difficulty indices. The results showed that 50% of the items were valid, the instrument’s reliability was moderate with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.60, and only 10% of the items had very good discrimination power, while most (63.4%) were categorized as low to negative. In terms of difficulty, 53.3% of the items were classified as difficult, 20% as moderate, and 26.7% as easy. These findings indicate that the low student learning outcomes are influenced not only by internal factors but also by the quality of the evaluation instrument. So, this study not only test the validity and reliability of the test items but also explores how the question construction can affect learning achievements. This study offers new insights for lecturers to design more accurate instruments that can truly reflect students’ ability, especially in the Fundamentals of Physics II course
The Development of a Student Perception Instrument for Guidance and Counseling Teachers’ Role and Its Association with Learning Motivation: Pengembangan Instrumen Persepsi Siswa Terhadap Peran Guru Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK) dan Kaitannya dengan Motivasi Belajar Siswa
Abstract
Purpose – This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale instrument to measure students’ perceptions of the role of Guidance and Counseling (GC) teachers and its relation to students’ learning motivation. The instrument is expected to be a diagnostic tool for strengthening school guidance and counselling services.
Design/methods/approach – This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE model, which consists of five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects included one expert validator and 63 eighth-grade students from MTsN 9 Bantul, selected through cluster random sampling. The perception instrument was developed based on cognitive, affective, and conative aspects, while the learning motivation instrument was grounded in intrinsic and extrinsic motivation theories. Item validity was tested using item-total correlation, and reliability was calculated using Cronbach’s Alpha with the assistance of SPSS software.
Findings – The validity test results showed that out of 73 items in the perception scale, 46 were declared valid (r > 0.254), with a reliability coefficient of 0.856. Meanwhile, out of 76 items in the learning motivation scale, 47 were valid, with a reliability coefficient of 0.838. These results indicate that both developed instruments meet the criteria for validity and reliability and are suitable for use in measurement. However, further statistical analysis is needed to quantitatively examine the relationship between students’ perceptions and their learning motivation.
Research implications/limitations – The resulting instruments can be utilized by GC teachers to accurately and comprehensively identify students’ perceptions and learning motivation as a basis for service intervention planning. Nevertheless, this study’s limitation lies in its sample, which was restricted to a single school and educational level; thus, caution is needed when generalizing the findings.
Originality/value – This study offers an original contribution in the form of a standardized instrument that is not widely available, particularly one that empirically integrates students’ perceptions of the GC teacher’s role with learning motivation. The added value also lies in the thorough validation approach, which combines empirical testing and expert judgment.

Non-English Students’ Perception of Lecturer’s CBT (Code Mixing, Body Moving, and Translating) Strategy of English Teaching: Persepsi Mahasiswa Non-Inggris terhadap Strategi CBT (Code Mixing, Body Movements, dan Translating) Dosen dalam Pengajaran Bahasa Inggris
Purpose – This inquiry attempts to investigate non-English students’ perception of lecturer’s particular strategy in English teaching namely CBT standing for code mixing, body moving, and translating.
Design/methods/approach – The study is designed qualitatively. Data are collected through questionnaire by using purposive sampling.
Findings – Based on the questionnaire, three findings have been resulted. Firstly, CBT strategy is necessary because students can practice their listening and speaking of certain vocabulary directly. If they hear the mixing words between English and Indonesian regularly, so it is possible for them to achieve good communication skill, and improve their knowledge of English vocabulary as well as its literal meaning. Second, CBT is important affectively because it keeps them enthusiastic in which they can imitate English pronunciation. Third, in the most effective way, non-English students prefer “complexity” in which lecturer performs word verbally and nonverbally. Lecturer says, translates, and demonstrates body language at that time lecturer says the mixing words.
Research implications/limitations – This strategy could be recommended in teaching English for non-English students at basic or beginner level in school or university. However, this current research only focuses on non-English department students at this level of proficiency in which it still needs further research for the implication of CBT in intermediate and higher level or students with non-English department background.
Originality/value - This research facilitates one specific strategy in English teaching for non-English students at beginner or basic level of knowledge.
Abstrak
Tujuan – Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki persepsi mahasiswa non-Inggris terhadap strategi tertentu yang digunakan dosen dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris, yaitu CBT yang meliputi code mixing, gerakan tubuh (body moving), dan penerjemahan (translating).
Desain/metode/pendekatan – Penelitian ini dirancang secara kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling.
Temuan – Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner, terdapat tiga temuan utama. Pertama, strategi CBT dianggap penting karena memungkinkan mahasiswa untuk melatih keterampilan mendengar (listening) dan berbicara (speaking) kosakata tertentu secara langsung. Dengan mendengar campuran kata antara bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia secara teratur, mereka berpotensi mencapai keterampilan komunikasi yang baik dan meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang kosakata bahasa Inggris beserta makna literalnya. Kedua, CBT dianggap penting secara afektif karena strategi ini menjaga antusiasme mahasiswa, di mana mereka dapat meniru pelafalan bahasa Inggris. Ketiga, dalam pendekatan yang paling efektif, mahasiswa non-Inggris lebih menyukai "kompleksitas," di mana dosen mengucapkan kata secara verbal dan non-verbal. Dosen berbicara, menerjemahkan, dan menunjukkan bahasa tubuh pada saat yang sama ketika dosen mengucapkan kata-kata campuran.
Implikasi/batasan penelitian – Strategi ini dapat direkomendasikan untuk pengajaran bahasa Inggris kepada mahasiswa non-Inggris pada tingkat dasar atau pemula di sekolah atau universitas. Namun, penelitian ini hanya berfokus pada mahasiswa non-jurusan Inggris pada tingkat pemahaman ini, sehingga diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai penerapan strategi CBT pada tingkat menengah dan lanjutan, atau pada mahasiswa dengan latar belakang non-jurusan Inggris.
Orisinalitas/nilai – Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada strategi khusus dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris bagi mahasiswa non-Inggris pada tingkat dasar atau pemula
