Pembelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Ilmu Sosial (IPAS) di sekolah dasar masih menghadapi tantangan berupa metode pengajaran yang monoton dan kurangnya media pembelajaran inovatif yang mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai budaya lokal. Pembelajaran konvensional yang berpusat pada guru seringkali membuat siswa kurang termotivasi untuk memahami konsep-konsep ilmiah yang abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang permainan edukatif bernama “Nusantara IPAS Quest” yang mengintegrasikan karakter wayang dan kearifan lokal sebagai media pembelajaran inovatif dan budaya bagi siswa sekolah dasar. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan model Design Thinking yang mencakup tahapan empati, definisi, ide, prototipe, dan dokumentasi konseptual. Permainan ini dirancang dengan struktur enam pulau (Jawa, Bali, Sumatera, Sulawesi, Papua, Kalimantan), yang masing-masing memiliki dua karakter mentor berdasarkan karakter wayang yang menyampaikan materi IPAS melalui pendekatan kontekstual dan gamifikasi. Prototipe Pulau Jawa telah dikembangkan sebagai bukti konsep dengan materi tentang adaptasi hewan dan tumbuhan, menampilkan karakter Gatotkaca dan Srikandi sebagai mentor pembelajaran. Hasil desain menunjukkan bahwa integrasi unsur budaya, sistem penghargaan, dan pembelajaran naratif berpotensi meningkatkan minat belajar siswa dan pemahaman mereka terhadap konsep sains. Permainan edukatif ini diharapkan menjadi media pembelajaran alternatif yang relevan, bermakna, dan sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa sekolah dasar di era digital.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pembelajaran digital multimedia interaktif terhadap hasil belajar dan motivasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI), khususnya materi zakat di SMK Darul Ulum Kepuhdoko. Dominasi metode pembelajaran konvensional yang bersifat teacher-centered dan text-based menyebabkan rendahnya hasil belajar dan motivasi siswa dalam pembelajaran PAI. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode quasi-experimental design model Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 57 siswa kelas XI yang dibagi menjadi kelompok eksperimen (n=28) menggunakan multimedia interaktif berbasis Microsite S.id dan kelompok kontrol (n=29) menggunakan metode konvensional. Instrumen penelitian meliputi tes hasil belajar kognitif (30 butir soal, α=0,944) dan angket motivasi belajar model ARCS (29 pernyataan, α=0,893). Data dianalisis menggunakan independent samples t-test dengan software SPSS 26. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan antara kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol pada hasil belajar (t=2,079; p=0,042; d=0,55) dan motivasi belajar (t=3,053; p=0,003; d=0,81). Kelompok eksperimen mengalami peningkatan gain score lebih tinggi (hasil belajar: M=15,14; motivasi belajar: M=20,57) dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (hasil belajar: M=11,76; motivasi belajar: M=12,24). Multimedia interaktif terbukti efektif meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran PAI dengan pengaruh lebih kuat pada aspek motivasi (large effect) dibandingkan hasil belajar (medium effect). Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi empiris tentang efektivitas teknologi pembelajaran dalam pendidikan Islam dan menawarkan model pembelajaran yang dapat direplikasi untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran PAI di era digital.

Abstract Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in rural Java embodies not only environmental wisdom but also a moral ecology that organizes collective life. This study examines how TEK operates as a socio-moral system that links ritual redistribution, ecological ethics, and local equality in Nganjuk Regency, Indonesia. Drawing on an ethnographic interpretation and secondary data from Indonesia’s Bureau of Statistics (2008–2025), the analysis situates these practices within a context of relatively stable interregional inequality (Williamson Index 0.12–0.15) and mild household income disparity (Gini ratio 0.30–0.32). Within this moral landscape, four interrelated pillars are identified: ritualized food sharing that redistributes symbolic and material capital; ecological calendars ( Pranata Mangsa ) which align agriculture with cosmological ethics; communal institutions which govern shared resources; and norms of reciprocity and restraint which are embedded in everyday practice. Together, these pillars show that sustainability in rural Java is an ethical practice, that integrates ecological stewardship, distributive justice, and social solidarity. This paper contributes to human ecological scholarship by reframing TEK as an ethical infrastructure of sustainability, demonstrating how moral economy and ritual practices shape lived experiences of equality beyond market logic.

The management of the Qur'an memorization program at Al Iman Quran Science Junior High School by school administrators is covered in this paper. One of the school's main initiatives is the Qur'an memorization program, which aims to develop students' character via memorization and study of the Qur'an while also raising educational standards. This study employs a descriptive method in conjunction with a qualitative approach. The principal and Tahfidz instructors who are actively involved in the program's execution make up the research subjects. Interviews, observations, and documentation were used to gather data. According to research findings, school leadership plays a significant role in teacher development by offering training to enhance teacher competency and working to promote collaboration with parents of children. Four Qur'anic teacher support each class while the memorization method is implemented in an organized and disciplined manner. For students in the first and second grades, audio and the Hijaz Wafa-style Qur'anic reading method are employed as educational resources. Regular memorizing competitions organized by the school and the education administration each year are supporting aspects for this program. Meanwhile, differences in kids' remembering skills and parents' lack of interest in and support for their children's at-home learning activities are examples of limiting factors.

ABSTRACT The integration of gamification-based technology in education has been increasingly adopted and is believed to enhance students’ motivation and academic performance. This study aims to examine the relationship between the use of Duolingo and students’ motivation and learning outcomes in Arabic subjects. A quantitative approach with a correlational method was employed. The population consisted of students from Madrasah Aliyah Perguruan Muallimat Cukir, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software. The findings reveal that Duolingo significantly affects learning motivation (coefficient 0.858; p < 0.05) and learning outcomes (coefficient 0.759; p < 0.05). These results indicate that gamification-based applications can enhance student participation, engagement, and academic achievement in Arabic language learning.

ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze and reconstruct Al-Farran's understanding of dowry, as well as place it in a comparative context with the views of other madhhabs and mufassir. The research method used is library research with a descriptive-analytical approach. Primary data is obtained from the Tafsir of Imam Shafi'i, while secondary data comes from books of tafsir, fiqh, and other supporting literature. The results of the study show that Al-Farran interpreted dowry (QS. An-Nisa': 4) as the absolute right of the wife (nihlah) which has a legal and philosophical dimension. He emphasized that dowry is a symbol of a husband's appreciation, earnestness, and responsibility, not just the price of a woman. Furthermore, Al-Farran does not limit dowry only to material possessions, but also accommodates non-material dowries in the form of benefits, such as the teaching of the Qur'an or hadith, as long as they have an agreed value. Comparatively, Al-Farran's view is in line with the Shafi'i School of Prayer which requires dowry, but it offers greater flexibility in the form of dowry.

Income inequality is a crucial issue in regional economic development. This is because income inequality can affect social and economic stability and hinder sustainable economic growth. In Jombang Regency, income inequality remains a serious problem. This study aims to analyze the influence of education level, unemployment rate, and poverty rate on income inequality in Jombang Regency using a positivistic approach through quantitative methods. Secondary data were obtained from official BPS publications and regional macroeconomic indicators, while the analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression supported by classical assumption tests to ensure that the model meets BLUE criteria. The results show that the education level has a negative and significant effect on income inequality, indicating that higher levels of education lead to lower income disparities. Conversely, the unemployment rate and poverty rate have positive and significant effects, suggesting that increases in unemployment and poverty contribute to widening income inequality in the region. Simultaneously, all three variables are proven to significantly influence income inequality, as reflected by the coefficient of determination, which demonstrates the strong contribution of the independent variables in explaining variability in income disparity. This study is expected to provide both theoretical and practical contributions to the formulation of inclusive and equitable economic development policies.

Teachers play a central role in curriculum development, determining the direction and quality of education. As the forefront of the learning process, teachers act not only as implementers but also as designers, developers, and evaluators who ensure that the curriculum is effectively applied according to students’ needs. Curriculum development requires teachers to interpret the national curriculum, adapt it to local contexts, and create creative and innovative learning experiences. Teachers are also responsible for instilling moral, spiritual, and character values, ensuring that education shapes holistic personalities rather than focusing solely on cognitive aspects. Moreover, teachers must be adaptive to technological advances and social changes to maintain the relevance of learning in modern times. Collaboration among teachers, school leaders, parents, and the community serves as a vital factor in building a dynamic and responsive curriculum system. Therefore, teachers are considered the primary agents of educational transformation who play a key role in achieving national education goals by fostering students who are faithful, knowledgeable, creative, and virtuous.
