Modeling and Optimizing Strategies for Strengthening PKBM Sustainability

Suyadi Suyadi — 2026-06-08

This study aimed to develop strategies for strengthening the sustainability of Community Learning Centers or PKBM by examining the direct and indirect effects of servant leadership, organizational climate, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, and the effectiveness of education and training. This study employed a quantitative correlational approach involving 165 heads and tutors from 39 PKBM units in East Bogor Regency. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests, path analysis, and SITOREM analysis. The findings showed that servant leadership, organizational climate, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, and the effectiveness of education and training had positive direct effects on PKBM sustainability. Servant leadership and organizational climate also had indirect effects on PKBM sustainability through Organizational Citizenship Behavior and the effectiveness of education and training. The SITOREM analysis identified several indicators requiring priority improvement, including conceptualization, forward looking orientation, satisfaction with activities, meeting community needs, development and empowerment, availability of teaching staff, PKBM development, and work mechanisms. These findings indicate that PKBM sustainability is shaped not only by leadership and organizational conditions, but also by voluntary work behavior and continuous human resource development. The study recommends strengthening servant leadership, improving organizational climate, enhancing tutors’ extra role behavior, and designing more relevant education and training programs to support the long term sustainability of PKBM.

Development of Interactive Digital Modules Based on Local Wisdom of Gandrung Lombok Dance on Plane Figures Material

Erna Anggraini — 2026-06-08

Integrating cultural contexts into mathematics learning has increasingly been recognized as an effective strategy to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and engagement. However, the incorporation of local cultural resources into digital learning media remains limited, particularly in mathematics education. This study aims to develop an interactive digital learning module based on the local wisdom of the Gandrung Lombok dance to support the teaching of plane geometry concepts. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The study involved 32 third-semester students of the Primary School Teacher Education Program at Universitas Islam Negeri Mataram. Data were collected using expert validation sheets and user response questionnaires and were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis through percentage calculations. The results indicate that the developed module is highly feasible for instructional use. Expert validation of the learning material reached 95.83%, while media validation achieved 92.86%, both categorized as highly feasible. Lecturer response reached 95.25%, while student response reached 98.50%, indicating a very high level of user acceptance. These findings demonstrate that integrating cultural elements from the Gandrung Lombok dance into a digital learning module has strong pedagogical potential to support plane geometry learning while providing a culturally relevant and contextual learning experience.

The Role of the Subulussalam City Community Care Movement in Instilling Islamic Educational Values among First-Time Voters

Syafnial Syafnial — 2026-06-19

The increasing number of first-time voters presents both opportunities and challenges for local democracy, particularly in Muslim-majority societies. First-time voters are often vulnerable to unethical political practices due to limited experience and political literacy. This study examines the role of the Gerakan Masyarakat Peduli Kota Subulussalam (GEMAPKOS) in internalizing Islamic educational values among first-time voters in Subulussalam City, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving community leaders, educators, youth participants, and organizational actors. The findings reveal that GEMAPKOS systematically instills core Islamic values such as aqidah, ibadah, akhlak, amanah, shidiq, fathanah, ukhuwah, and responsibility through structured mechanisms, including habituation, role modeling, dialogic learning, social engagement, and formal codification. These processes contribute to the formation of an Islamic political habitus characterized by honesty, critical awareness, discipline, and ethical responsibility in political participation. The study highlights the strategic role of local civil society organizations in bridging Islamic moral education and democratic practice, offering an empirically grounded model for strengthening ethical political participation among first-time voters.

Islamic Counseling and Educational Integration: A Holistic Model from Indonesian Pesantren

Heri Azmi — 2026-06-19

The dominance of Western-centric paradigms in mental health and educational counseling has often marginalized spiritual and communal dimensions that are essential to non-Western societies. This study aims to examine the integration of Islamic counseling and education within the unique educational ecosystem of Indonesian pesantren, focusing on three modern institutions: Darul Arafah Raya, Nurul Hikmah An-Nahdly, and Darul Ihsan in North Sumatra. Employing a qualitative multiple case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to explore how counseling is embedded within educational practices. The findings reveal that Islamic counseling is not implemented as a separate service but is systematically integrated into the educational process, encompassing classroom learning, dormitory life, and religious activities. This integration fosters a holistic model of student development that combines spiritual, emotional, and social dimensions. Core values such as sabr (patience), tawakkal (reliance on God), and muhasabah (self-reflection) function as pedagogical tools for emotional regulation and character formation, continuously reinforced through structured programs and daily interactions. The effectiveness of this model is further supported by institutional synergy among kyai, teachers, counselors, and dormitory supervisors, creating a comprehensive and collaborative educational environment. Unlike conventional Western approaches that tend to separate counseling from instructional processes, this model represents a proactive and value-driven framework that integrates counseling into the core of educational practice. The study concludes that the integration of Islamic counseling and education offers a culturally responsive and sustainable approach to holistic student development, contributing to the broader discourse on decolonizing educational and counseling practices.

Implementation of TPACK-Integrated Problem-Based Learning to Improve Students' Higher-Order Thinking Skills on Newton's Laws

Meltinur Asqory — 2026-06-19

The low Higher Order Thinking Skills of Indonesian students in Physics lessons encouraged the conduct of this quasi experimental research to investigate the influence of the problem based learning model integrated with technological pedagogical content knowledge on newton's law material. Involving 65 MAN 1 Jambi City students divided into three groups, the results of the kruskal wallis test showed a significant difference (p=0.000) with the technological pedagogical content knowledge integrated problem based learning experimental group achieving the highest average score (90.45) compared to the problem based learning group alone (81.36) and control (75.91). The integration of technologies such as PhET simulation and google sites has been proven to be significantly more effective in improving students' evaluation and creation skills. This study concludes that the combination of problem-based pedagogy with technological proficiency is the main key in transforming learning from memorization into critical and creative self discovery to face the digital era.
