Job Equalization Policy Implementation and Competency Development of Civil Servants: A Case Study of Policy Analysts in East Manggarai Regency
No full textThis study investigates the implementation of the job equalization policy and the development of civil servant competencies in East Manggarai Regency, with a focus on the functional position of policy analysts. The research is motivated by concerns that the nationwide conversion of structural positions to functional ones, while administratively mandated, may not be accompanied by adequate competency development, particularly in under-resourced regions. Employing a qualitative case study design, the study collected data through interviews, document analysis, and field observations, and analyzed the findings using thematic coding supported by Edwards III’s implementation model, Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework, and Spencer’s competency theory. The results reveal that although structural transitions were formally implemented, the substantive preparation for new functional roles remains insufficient. Communication was top-down and unclear; training opportunities were severely limited; and performance indicators were misaligned with functional responsibilities. Most policy analysts lacked the technical and behavioral competencies required for their roles, resulting in diminished organizational performance and weakened public service outcomes. The absence of institutional support mechanisms, such as mentoring and performance benchmarks, further hindered adaptation and professional growth.The study concludes that successful implementation of job equalization policies requires more than administrative compliance—it demands strategic investment in human capital, institutional learning, and localized policy adaptation. This research contributes to public administration literature by illustrating how structural reforms must be paired with competency development to realize their intended impact, especially in decentralized, capacity-constrained environments.

Analysis of Student Interest in Natural and Social Sciences Integration Learning (IPAS): Study of Grade IV Students at SDN 8 North Metro
Get PDFThis research investigated the engagement of fourth-grade students in Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning at SDN 5 North Metro. Findings revealed that a significant majority of students (21 out of 25) exhibited high levels of engagement, characterized by enthusiastic participation, focused attention, and a strong desire to learn. These students demonstrated resilience in overcoming challenges, actively sought clarification, and displayed positive learning habits. The teacher played a crucial role in fostering student engagement through the implementation of diverse and engaging instructional strategies, including creative learning activities and a well-structured reward system. However, a small subset of students (4 out of 25) displayed lower levels of engagement, struggling with complex concepts and finding IPAS learning less interesting. This research highlights the importance of creating a dynamic and inclusive learning environment that caters to the diverse needs and learning styles of all students. Strategies such as connecting abstract concepts to real-world applications and incorporating more flexible learning approaches are crucial to enhance the engagement and understanding of all students in IPAS learning

Effective English Learning Management to Enhance Speaking Skills: A Case Study at MTs Nurul Jalal and MTs Khairul Ummah, North Jakarta
Get PDFThis research is motivated by English language learning, especially at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) level, which has not been effective in improving students' speaking skills. Various factors, such as the use of inappropriate learning methods, lack of facilities, and lack of student motivation, cause this. English language learning is an important aspect of education, especially in the era of globalization, which demands international communication skills. This study aims to analyze English learning management in improving students' speaking skills at MTs Nurul Jalal and MTs Khairul Ummah North Jakarta. This research is based on the philosophy of constructivism, which emphasizes the importance of the role of students in constructing knowledge through direct experience, as well as education management theory, which involves the processes of planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating. The research method used is a qualitative case study, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. Respondents consisted of teachers, principals, and students in both MTs. The results showed that learning planning in these two madrasahs is quite good. However, its implementation still requires adjustments, especially in the organization of time and the use of learning media. Obstacles faced include limited facilities such as language laboratories and students' lack of confidence in communicating using English. Nevertheless, improvement efforts such as teacher training and the use of digital technology are starting to overcome these problems. This study concludes that effective learning management, with support from all school elements, can improve students' speaking skills. There is a need for synergy between teachers, principals, and educational policies that are more supportive of the development of language competencies, especially students' speaking skills in the madrasah environment

Analisis Penyebaran Berita Hoax di Media Sosial: Perspektif Hukum dan Peran Masyarakat dalam Mitigasi
No full textThe spread of fake news (hoaxes) through social media has become a serious challenge in Indonesia due to its impact on social stability and national security. This study aims to explore various types of hoaxes circulating on social media, the legal frameworks used to address them, and the role of society in preventing their spread. This research employs a qualitative approach through document analysis of relevant regulations, such as the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), as well as case studies of viral hoaxes in Indonesia. The findings indicate that hoaxes can be categorized into several types, including hate speech based on ethnicity, religion, race, and intergroup relations (SARA), public fraud, defamation, and false information that causes panic. Health-related hoaxes have also become a significant concern, particularly during the pandemic. Law enforcement against hoax perpetrators must be carefully implemented to avoid violating freedom of speech. Therefore, digital literacy is essential to raise public awareness in identifying and preventing the spread of hoaxes
Putusan Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara Nomor 115/G/2023/PTUN.MDN tentang Pembatalan Sertifikat Hak Milik Perspektif Fiqh Siyasah
No full textAlthough land certificates serve as official documents that validate ownership rights, cases of land disputes and violations still often occur. Many individuals face challenges in defending their rights due to the lack of legal protection or the presence of parties who try to harm them. The purpose of this study is to determine how the decision of the state administrative court number 115/G/2023/PTUN.MDN regarding the cancellation of the certificate of ownership rights from the perspective of fiqh siyasah. This study uses a normative legal research method. The results of the study indicate that the PTUN Decision to cancel the Certificate of Ownership Rights (SHM) in the name of Parulian Damanik is contrary to applicable legal procedures and the principle of justice in fiqh siyasah, because the certificate was issued legally by the BPN and has a clear legal basis. Cancellation without evidence of administrative defects causes legal uncertainty, which violates the principle of legal certainty and the government's responsibility to protect individual rights transparently and fairly. This study includes a limited focus on one PTUN case, without expanding the analysis to other similar cases, as well as limited access to supporting documents from related parties. This study is based on the use of the fiqh siyasah approach in analyzing PTUN decisions, which is rarely discussed in the context of modern Indonesian law, and its emphasis on the impact of court decisions on legal uncertainty and justice in land administration. This study contributes to offering a new perspective on the relationship between state law and fiqh siyasah in maintaining individual rights to land
Pemodelan Rehabilitasi Sosial pada Pecandu Narkotika
No full textThe abuse of narcotics in Indonesia has become a serious social issue, which not only impacts individual health but also creates widespread social and economic disturbances. One of the solutions implemented to address this problem is social rehabilitation for drug addicts, aimed at reintegrating individuals into positive and productive social roles. This article discusses the modeling of social rehabilitation for drug addicts from a legal perspective, referring to Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, which regulates the provision of rehabilitation as an alternative to punishment for drug users. The social rehabilitation model involves several stages, including assessment, medical and psychosocial rehabilitation, and social reintegration into the community. Additionally, the legal approach applied must prioritize the principles of restorative justice, aimed at restoring relationships between addicts, the community, and victims, as well as reducing the negative stigma against addicts. However, the implementation of social rehabilitation also faces challenges, such as social stigma, limited resources, and ineffective coordination among law enforcement agencies, rehabilitation institutions, and the community. This article concludes that a social rehabilitation model based on human rights principles, restorative justice, and comprehensive support from various parties can accelerate the recovery of drug addicts and facilitate their reintegration back into society
