Hubungan Father Involvement dengan Kontrol Diri Siswa Madrasah Tsanawiyah
This study aims to describe and examine the relationship between father involvement and student self-control, based on the persistent issues of truancy and low self-regulation among students. The research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive correlational approach. The study population consisted of students from MTsN 6 Padang City during the 2024/2025 academic year, with a sample of 266 students selected through stratified random sampling. The research instruments used were the father involvement scale and the self-control scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment correlation. The results revealed that: (1) 34.96% of students exhibited a moderate level of self-control; (2) father involvement was also at a moderate level, with 33.08%; (3) there was a significant positive correlation between father involvement and students' self-control, with a correlation coefficient of 0.398. These findings affirm that father involvement makes a meaningful contribution to strengthening student self-control. This study has implications for family counseling services aimed at improving self-control among students with low levels of father involvement.

Relasi Sistem Waris Matrilineal dan Akses Pendidikan Anak Laki-laki di Kabupaten Malaka: Analisis Sosio-Kultural
This study analyzes the relationship between the matrilineal inheritance system and boys' access to education in Malacca Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. In this region, Tetun customs position women as the main heirs of family wealth, while men hold different social roles. This study aims to explore how inheritance distribution affects boys' educational support during modern social change. The research method used was a qualitative approach with in-depth interview techniques with 15 informants, consisting of traditional leaders, parents, and school-age boys, as well as analysis of customary documents and field observations. The findings show that although boys traditionally do not get a share of inheritance of land or traditional houses, families still allocate resources for their education as a form of family social investment. However, male roles that tend to be directed outside the nuclear family (matriline) create ambivalence in long-term support. The study concludes that the customary inheritance system not only determines the distribution of wealth, but also shapes patterns of gender roles that impact access to education. The implication is that regional education policies need to consider the cultural context as part of the strategy of equitable access to education.

Menelusuri Tradisi Horja Patibal Sere sebagai Warisan Budaya Suku Mandailing di Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal
This study aims to examine the Horja Patibal Sere tradition among the Mandailing ethnic group in Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal Regency. Employing a qualitative research method, the study utilized in-depth data collection through observation, interviews, documentation, and data analysis techniques. The findings reveal that Patibal Sere is a compulsory customary ritual held at night, involving family members, religious figures, and traditional leaders. During the ceremony, the agreed-upon mahar (bridal dowry) is presented on a ceremonial tray along with symbolic items such as burangir (betel leaves), yellow rice, areca nut, banana leaf tips, and a traditional long cloth. Following the symbolic handover, the bride’s mother carries the dowry, representing a gesture of nurturing, protecting, and caring for the continuity of the marriage. The Mandailing people, an ethnic group from North Sumatra, possess a rich and distinctive cultural heritage. The Patibal Sere tradition, passed down for generations, remains an essential component of the customary marriage rites. It reflects the deep-rooted values, identity, and social cohesion within the Mandailing community, particularly emphasizing the sacredness and communal nature of marriage through ancestral rituals.‎

Implementasi Pembelajaran Berdiferensiasi pada Materi Peristiwa Sekitar Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia untuk Peserta Didik Kelas 11 di SMA Negeri 12 Semarang
This study investigates the implementation of differentiated learning in the history topic Events Around the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence for Grade XI students at SMA Negeri 12 Semarang. The central issue addressed is how teachers accommodate students' diverse learning styles, interests, and readiness levels within the historical learning process. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that differentiation is primarily applied in the learning product aspect, guided by students’ learning style assessments using the Aku Pintar application. Students are offered various final assignment formats—such as infographics, podcasts, or videos—aligned with their learning profiles. Despite facing technical challenges and limited instructional time, the differentiated approach successfully enhances students' motivation and comprehension. The study concludes that differentiated learning holds significant promise for fostering an inclusive and adaptive educational environment, particularly within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum.‎

Perbedaan Perilaku Asertif Anak Sulung Berdasarkan Gender serta Implikasinya terhadap Layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling
This study aims to examine gender differences in assertive behavior among firstborn students and to analyze the implications for school guidance and counseling services. The research employs a quantitative descriptive comparative approach with 60 respondents (30 male and 30 female firstborn students) selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated assertiveness scale covering seven aspects: expressing feelings, rejecting requests, initiating interactions, expressing personal opinions, defending personal rights, requesting changes in others, and facing criticism. Statistical analysis revealed that male firstborn students demonstrate higher levels of assertiveness than their female counterparts across most indicators. These findings suggest that gender plays a significant role in shaping assertive behavior among firstborns, likely influenced by sociocultural expectations and familial roles. The results underscore the importance of implementing gender-responsive guidance and counseling strategies in schools to foster healthy communication, self-confidence, and emotional resilience among students, particularly those experiencing role pressure as firstborns.

Faktor Penyebab Perilaku Membolos Siswa dan Implikasinya terhadap Layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling
Truancy is a form of disciplinary violation that can negatively impact students’ academic achievement and character development. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to truancy among junior high school students and to analyze its implications for school guidance and counseling services. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 20 purposively selected students from SMPN 2 Batang Anai. Data were collected using a questionnaire covering both internal and external factors. The results indicate that dominant internal factors include a desire to play and lack of learning motivation (60%), while key external factors are peer influence and insufficient teacher supervision (70%). These findings reveal that truancy behavior arises from a combination of personal and environmental factors. Accordingly, comprehensive, and responsive guidance and counseling services, such as information services, group counseling, and parent-school collaboration are essential to prevent and address truancy in a structured manner.

Penerimaan Diri Siswa dengan Pengalaman Perceraian Orang Tua di SMP Negeri 1 Sinjunjung
Parental divorce is a critical life event that can significantly affect a child’s psychological development, particularly in terms of self-acceptance. This study aims to describe the level of self-acceptance among junior high school students who have experienced parental divorce, examined by the length of time since the divorce. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the research involved 35 students of SMP Negeri 1 Sijunjung selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a self-acceptance scale adapted from previous studies and analyzed with descriptive statistics via JASP. Results indicate that most students demonstrate high (65.7%) or very high (8.6%) levels of self-acceptance, with a tendency for higher acceptance over longer periods since parental divorce. These findings highlight the role of consistent psychosocial support, cultural factors, and school-based counseling in fostering resilience and healthy self-acceptance in adolescents from divorced families.

Hubungan Stres Akademik dan Kecanduan Game Online: Studi Korelasional pada Siswa SMAN 1 Baso
This study aims to examine the relationship between academic stress and online gaming addiction among high school students. The research involved 258 students from SMAN 1 Baso, selected through a stratified random sampling technique. A quantitative approach with a correlational method was employed. The instruments used were the Academic Stress Scale and the Online Gaming Addiction Scale, both of which had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test with the help of SPSS version 20.0 for Windows. The results indicated that students' academic stress levels were in the moderate category (56.08%), while their online gaming addiction levels were also moderate (57.11%). Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between academic stress and online gaming addiction (r = 0.356; p < 0.05). This indicates that the higher the level of academic stress experienced by students, the higher their tendency toward online gaming addiction. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for school counselors and educational institutions in designing prevention and intervention programs to reduce both academic stress and online gaming addiction among students.

Public Cosmopolitanism vs State Nationalism: A Comparative Study of State and Public Responses to The Gaza Genocide Since 2023
The Israeli intervention that occurred in Gaza in 2023 caused a wave of reactions from countries and the global community, showing differences in orientation and approach. Since the war, the global public has shown a strong reaction to Israeli attacks on civilians and has demanded a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons. In contrast, states have been divided into those who joined to condemn Israel and others who supported Israel. This article comparatively analyses the response of the state and the international public to genocide in Gaza from the perspective of nationalism and cosmopolitanism. Nationalism focuses on prioritizing the state interest over others, whereas cosmopolitanism addresses individual rights as the most important thing in global politics. This study uses qualitative methods to interpret the varieties of the states and publics by collecting online documents from websites, journals, and media. This study found that countries tend to act based on national interests, geopolitical considerations, strategic alliances, and domestic stability. Even among Muslim countries and supporters of Palestine, the attitudes shown are often ineffective because they are shackled by domestic political and economic calculations. Instead, the global public displayed strong cosmopolitan solidarity through demonstrations, digital campaigns, and economic boycotts as a form of defence of human rights and universal justice. The tension between a nationalistic approach to the state and a cosmopolitan public response indicates a wide gap between the state and the public stance toward the Gaza genocide.

Transformasi Pasar Bambu Kuning: Dari Pasar Tradisional menuju Sentra Ekonomi Perkotaan, 1974-2010
This article examines the transformation of Pasar Bambu Kuning, a traditional market in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, from its establishment during the colonial Dutch East Indies period to its transformation into an urban economic center in 2010. Using historical methods such as heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography, this article draws on primary sources such as local and national newspapers, colonial-era visual sources, and secondary sources including scholarly articles, research reports, books, and unpublished theses. The findings of this study reveal that Pasar Bambu Kuning evolved from a colonial periodic market into a vital permanent trading center after Indonesia’s independence, driven by population growth and commercial needs. This transformation included major renovations between 1974 and 1990, resulting in a three-story building structure, although the process was marked by conflicts and disputes among the stakeholders. This study contributes significantly to the understanding of the historical transformation of traditional markets in Indonesia and their role in shaping urban economies and societies. It serves as a valuable historical reference for future studies on urban development and the revitalization of traditional markets.

Analysis of the Impact of House Prices and Income on Purchasing Decisions of Millennials and Generation Z in Bekasi Regency
This study examines the influence of price and income on home purchase decisions in Bekasi Regency, framed within the context of Indonesia’s improving housing conditions. National data show a reduction in the housing backlog from 16.14 million units in 2022 to 14.84 million units in 2023, reflecting notable progress in meeting residential needs. The population under investigation consists of millennials and Generation Z in Bekasi Regency, who are increasingly influential demographic groups in the housing market. Using non-probability sampling techniques, this study involved 100 respondents to collect relevant data. A quantitative approach utilizing SEM-PLS analysis was employed to evaluate the proposed hypotheses. The research findings show that house price significantly influences purchasing decisions with a p-value <0.05, indicating that consumers place a high emphasis on price in their decision-making process. Conversely, income did not significantly impact purchasing decisions with a p-value >0.05. The results of the coefficient of determination (R²) analysis indicate that the purchase decision variable has an R² value of 0.473, suggesting that 47.3% of its variance is explained by the factors of housing price and income, while the remaining 52.7% is influenced by other external variables. These findings emphasize that, although income affects purchasing power, price remains the primary determinant of home-buying decisions. The study provides guidance for developing more effective housing marketing strategies and serves as a reference for future research on other influencing factors in the property market.

Pengembangan Multimedia untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman SKI di Madrasah: Sebuah Kajian Literatur
This study explores the role of multimedia in enhancing students’ understanding of Islamic Cultural History (SKI) in madrasahs through a systematic literature review. SKI, as a subject mandated by the curriculum, is often taught in monotonous ways that rely heavily on rote memorization and note-taking, leading to student passivity and disengagement. To address this challenge, the study analyzes how multimedia can provide alternative approaches that are more interactive, student-centered, and motivating. A qualitative literature review was conducted by examining 45,726 sources from ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and Google Search, with inclusion and exclusion criteria applied based on publication year, keywords, type of publication, and topic relevance. From this process, four representative data sets were identified and analyzed. The findings reveal that multimedia significantly improves the learning outcomes of SKI by increasing student-teacher interaction, stimulating motivation, and enabling effective knowledge transfer. Multimedia also supports independent exploration and fosters active learning experiences. Beyond pedagogical benefits, the study highlights psychological implications, such as enhancing emotional and spiritual engagement through audiovisual content, and moral implications, where multimedia can reinforce Islamic values like honesty, responsibility, and the love of knowledge when designed with strong value orientation. In conclusion, the integration of multimedia into SKI teaching is not only a strategy to improve comprehension and engagement but also a medium to cultivate Islamic character and values, provided that its development is carefully adapted to students’ learning needs.

Konstruksi dan Desain Kurikulum Berbasis Pendekatan Experiential Learning John Dewey dalam Konteks Pendidikan Islam di Sekolah dan Perguruan Tinggi
This article examines the application of John Dewey’s experiential learning approach within Islamic Religious Education (PAI), highlighting its relevance in linking theory to practice for a deeper and contextual understanding of religion. Employing a library research method, the study investigates how experiential learning can be integrated into PAI and its implications for cultivating reflective and ethical awareness among students in both schools and higher education. The findings reveal that experiential learning not only enables students to grasp Islamic teachings theoretically but also to internalize their values through reflective practice. Furthermore, it fosters critical thinking and ethical awareness by engaging learners in problem-based learning, case studies, and social participation. The approach also contributes to reconstructing a dynamic Islamic epistemology that connects empirical experience with critical reflection, thereby making Islamic teachings more applicable to everyday life. Overall, experiential learning should be understood not merely as a methodological innovation in PAI but as a transformative strategy for Islamic education to adapt effectively to the challenges of globalization and modernity.‎

Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Audiovisual Berbasis Film Terhadap Nilai Nasionalisme Peserta Didik di Sekolah Menengah Atas Bina Guna Tanah Jawa
This study examines the effectiveness of film-based audiovisual media in enhancing nationalism values among eleventh-grade students at SMA Bina Guna Tanah Jawa in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research was driven by concerns over declining nationalism among younger generations due to globalization and cultural shifts. A quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design was employed, involving 80 purposively selected students. Data were collected through a 20-item Likert scale questionnaire based on four indicators of nationalism from the Ministry of Education and Culture: love for the homeland, pride in national identity, appreciation of cultural diversity, and commitment to unity. Results showed an increase in mean nationalism scores from 71.20 in the pretest to 78.10 in the first posttest, and 82.65 in the second posttest. The greatest improvement was in pride in national identity (+4.1 points), while the lowest was in commitment to unity (+1.7 points). A paired sample t-test yielded a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference before and after treatment. These findings confirm the effectiveness of film-based audiovisual media in fostering nationalism, with further emphasis required on unity and diversity.‎

Etika Lingkungan dalam Islam: Kajian Hadis tentang Larangan Membunuh Serangga
This study aims to explore the concept of environmental ethics in Islam, focusing on the study of hadiths that discuss the prohibition or regulations regarding killing insects. The main objective of the research is to understand Islamic ethical values related to the protection of small living creatures as part of the environment, as well as their implications for human behavior in maintaining ecological balance. The research method used is a library study with a qualitative approach. Data were collected from primary sources, namely hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) concerning the killing of insects and small living beings, as well as secondary sources including fiqh literature, tafsir, and books on environmental ethics in Islam. The analysis was conducted using descriptive critical techniques to interpret the meaning of the hadiths and their relevance in the context of modern environmental ethics. The results indicate that Islam upholds principles of maintaining the balance of nature and the rights of all living creatures, including insects. The hadiths that regulate the prohibition of killing insects without valid reasons emphasize the values of tolerance and respect for all creatures created by Allah. The Islamic concept of environmental ethics encourages environmentally friendly attitudes and the preservation of living beings as part of the human responsibility on earth. In conclusion, environmental ethics in Islam teaches the importance of protecting all living beings regardless of their size, including insects. This hadith-based study provides a strong moral foundation for fostering ecological awareness and human responsibility in conserving the environment.

International Regimes in Sister City Partnerships: An Analysis of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Adoption in Bandung-Kawasaki Collaboration
This study examines the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an international regime, focusing on their role in shaping the Bandung–Kawasaki sister city partnership. The collaboration emphasizes joint efforts in waste management, water resource management, and air quality improvement. This research raises this question: “How do the SDGs influence the formation of the sister city partnership between the two cities?” Using a qualitative method and drawing on Martha Finnemore and Kathryn Sikkink’s Norm Life Cycle theory, the study finds that the rules, norms, and principles embedded in SDG Goals 11 and 12 prompted the city government to collaborate with Kawasaki in adopting this regime to address Bandung’s environmental challenges, particularly severe trash management issues. Through this partnership, Bandung seeks to leverage Kawasaki’s expertise and technology to advance its sustainable development agenda. Using the Bandung–Kawasaki partnership as a case study, this research contributes to shedding light on the role of SDGs as an international regime.‎

Efektivitas E-Purchasing terhadap Pembelian Produk Dalam Negeri di Biro Pengadaan Barang dan Jasa Provinsi Sumatera Utara
This study examines the effectiveness of e-purchasing in promoting domestic product utilization within the Bureau of Goods and Services Procurement of North Sumatra Province and explores the barriers affecting policy implementation. Using a qualitative descriptive case study, data were obtained through document review, observation, and interviews with procurement officials and stakeholders. Findings show that e-purchasing has improved efficiency and transparency in procurement and encouraged greater use of domestic products, although outcomes remain limited. While there is a positive trend in procurement packages meeting the Domestic Component Level (TKDN), the proportion remains relatively low. Key barriers include the weak competitiveness of local products, limited user understanding of the e-purchasing system, and inadequate oversight of TKDN enforcement. The study recommends strengthening local business capacity, expanding policy dissemination, and improving monitoring mechanisms to enhance the role of e-purchasing in supporting economic self-reliance through domestic products.‎

Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Pembayaran Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan Perdesaan dan Perkotaan (PBB-P2) di Kota Medan
This study analyzes community participation in paying the Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2) in Medan City. It asks: What forms does citizen participation take, what strategies does the municipality deploy to stimulate fiscal engagement, and what obstacles limit participation? A qualitative descriptive design was used, combining in-depth interviews, field observation, and document analysis with informants from the local revenue agency and taxpayers across socio-economic groups. Findings show higher participation in urban neighborhoods due to better information access, stronger tax literacy, and uptake of digital services, while peripheral areas face uneven information distribution, limited access to efficient administrative services, and weak perceptions of tangible benefits. Municipal initiatives—service digitalization, community-based campaigns, and incentives—have yielded positive yet uneven effects, requiring broader reach and more consistent implementation. The study concludes that tax participation reflects the quality of state–citizen relations; sustained, collaborative, and equity-oriented approaches are needed to consolidate compliance and, in turn, strengthen locally generated revenue and inclusive development.‎

Quasi-adat: An Ethnographic Study of Palm Oil Plantation in Bawan Village
This paper highlights cultural issues arising from oil palm plantations and efforts to preserve customs amid global change. The purpose of this study is to examine complex issues and efforts to preserve customs in the context of oil palm plantations in Agam Regency. The method used is critical ethnography to uncover cultural practices that can shape and perpetuate injustice, as well as how dominant groups maintain their power (quasi-customary). The land ownership system is based on Babingkah Tanah (Entity Ownership). Therefore, only Basa Nan Barampek and Penghulu Nan Batujah have authority over customary land. However, not all Ninik Mamak were involved in the transfer of customary land to PT AMP Plantation. Thus, the land transfer was carried out with customary and political elements to control the land by PT AMP Plantation and to approach only the dominant Ninik Mamak.

Instructor Performance Analysis in Educational Contexts Based on Learner Evaluation Data: Integration of Clustering and Predictive Model
This study aims to analyze instructor performance in educational contexts by classifying instructors based on learner evaluation data through the K-Means clustering algorithm and developing a predictive model to support effective and targeted instructor development programs. The data were derived from learners’ evaluations of instructors, covering aspects such as discipline and professionalism, mastery of subject matter, and pedagogical skills in delivering content. The results indicate that k=3 is the optimal cluster, producing three categories: Superior Instructor, Potential Instructor, and Developing Instructor. Furthermore, the predictive model demonstrates that the Naive Bayes algorithm outperforms XGBoost in performance prediction, achieving higher accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-scores. The integration of clustering and prediction proves effective in enabling faster, objective, and data-driven decisions for instructor development. These findings provide significant implications for educational institutions in establishing adaptive and sustainable systems of instructor evaluation and management.‎

Pemberhentian Tidak Dengan Hormat Pegawai Negeri Sipil karena Tindak Pidana Korupsi: Perspektif Fiqh Siyasah (Analisis Putusan PTUN No. 4/G/2019/PTUN.PDG)
This study examines the dishonorable dismissal of civil servants in cases of corruption by analyzing its legal and political dimensions from the perspective of fiqh siyasah. The research adopts a normative juridical method with a legislative, conceptual, and case approach, focusing on the decision of the Regent of Sijunjung regarding the plaintiff’s dismissal. The problem addressed in this study is whether the dismissal was consistent with legal certainty and the principles of justice under both national law and Islamic political jurisprudence. The findings indicate that the Regent’s decision created legal uncertainty and conflicted with the principle of rechtmatigheid, as no dictum revoked the prior decision reinstating the plaintiff, leaving both decisions simultaneously valid. Furthermore, the dismissal was based on retroactive application of Law No. 5/2014, Government Regulation No. 11/2017, and the Decree of Three Ministers, which contradicts Article 28I paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution and the general principles of good governance. From the perspective of fiqh siyasah, the retroactive application is inconsistent with the principles of justice (al-‘adl), legal certainty (al-yaqin), benefit (al-mashlahah), accountability (mas’uliyyah), and transparency (ash-shafafiyyah). This study concludes that dishonorable dismissal in this case undermines both state law and Islamic political ethics, highlighting the need for consistency, fairness, and non-retroactivity in public service governance.‎

Implementasi Program STBM Pilar Pertama dalam Penanggulangan Praktik Buang Air Besar Sembarangan di Kabupaten Sekadau
Open Defecation (OD) practices remain a public health issue in Indonesia, including in Sekadau Regency, which recorded in September 2024 that 70 households still practiced open defecation and 801 households lacked proper sanitation. This study analyzes the implementation of the Community-Based Total Sanitation (STBM) Program, First Pillar (Stop OD), in Sekadau using Purwanto and Sulistyastuti’s policy implementation theory, which covers socialization, execution, and policy outcomes. This descriptive qualitative study involved 6 categories of informants (n=18) through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, analyzed with an interactive model and triangulation. The main challenge was the limited number of sanitarians (1 for every 4,515 households). Multi-media communication strategies (print, digital, and face-to-face) effectively reached communities, supported by cross-sector collaboration among government, community leaders, and partners such as World Vision Indonesia. Program success was influenced by five factors: capacity building of sanitarians, contextual communication, innovation in addressing resistance, sustainable collaboration, and adaptive monitoring. The findings highlight the need for an integrated approach in implementing community-based sanitation policies to achieve sustainable Open Defecation Free (ODF) status.

HR Analytics for Predicting Job Satisfaction in Hybrid Work
This research investigates the application of machine learning classification models for predicting employee job satisfaction, considering demographic, professional, and psychosocial aspects. With a secondary dataset obtained from Kaggle, five supervised learning techniques were applied: Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Gradient Boosting. The best model was considered to be Gradient Boosting as it achieved the highest accuracy and F1 score. The model's explainability was enhanced with LIME. LIME enhanced the model's explainability. Stress, work-life balance, and job tenure were identified as the primary factors of job satisfaction. These results support the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory and highlight the model's effectiveness in the hands of HR professionals. The study highlights the need to achieve a balance between predictive accuracy and explainability to ethically align the use of AI in HR analytics, aiming to enhance the well-being of employees and the effectiveness of organizations.

Pengembangan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD) Berbasis Sejarah Lokal pada Materi Kolonialisme di Madrasah Aliyah Se-Kecamatan Stabat
This study aims to develop a Student Worksheet (LKPD) focused on local history, specifically addressing colonialism topics. The objective is to determine the validity and feasibility of the LKPD through evaluations by material and media experts, as well as through limited trials conducted with students from Madrasah Aliyah in Stabat District. This study employs research and development (R&D) methodologies. The developed LKPD underwent validation by two experts: material experts and media experts. The validation results indicated that in the second validation, the material expert assigned a feasibility percentage of 91%, categorized as "Very Valid," while the media expert assigned a percentage of 90%, also categorized as "Very Valid." The trial results were confined to grade XI students, who demonstrated a favorable response with an average score of 87%, categorizing them as "Very Positive." The findings indicate that the LKPD centered on local history concerning colonialism is deemed highly feasible and practical for use in history education at the Madrasah Aliyah level.

Australia–Indonesia Economic Relations Under IA-CEPA: Between Proximity and Distance
This article examines the extent to which the Indonesia–Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA) has contributed to strengthening bilateral relations. It argues that despite geographic proximity, trade ties remain weak and IA-CEPA alone is unlikely to generate long-term mutual benefits. Employing an interpretivist qualitative interpretivist approach, the study draws on government reports and policy documents to analyze negotiation dynamics and outcomes. The article introduces an actor-centered perspective, showing how limited civil society involvement has constrained the agreement’s potential. It argues that IA-CEPA is unlikely to provide long-term mutual benefits unless the government of the two countries provides a more comprehensive approach to public diplomacy. The findings suggest that without stronger political leadership and more inclusive public diplomacy, IA-CEPA will deliver suboptimal results. The study highlights the need for people-to-people engagement as a bridge-builder for sustainable cooperation.

Kebebasan Hak Memilih Dalam Pemilu 2024 Pada Masyarakat Program Keluarga Harapan ‎Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Tentang Pemilihan Umum Di Tinjau ‎Dari Perspektif Fiqih Siyasah
This study examines the freedom of voting rights in the 2024 general election among beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan) in light of Law No. 7 of 2017 on General Elections, analyzed through the perspective of fiqh siyasah. Using a normative legal research method with a juridical-normative approach, the study draws upon constitutional and statutory frameworks. The 2024 election, as the world’s largest single-day democratic event, highlights the principle of direct, free, confidential, honest, and fair participation. However, the research is motivated by the erosion of voting freedom among lower-income groups, particularly beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program, who remain vulnerable to systemic money politics. Findings reveal that from the fiqh siyasah perspective, the principles of siyasah dusturiyah emphasize constitutional order, the symbiotic relationship between state and citizens, and the obligation to protect fundamental rights. Strengthening the implementation of Law No. 7 of 2017, with additional provisions ensuring the right to vote for economically disadvantaged groups, is essential to safeguard equality (al-musawah) before law and government. The study concludes that law enforcement and electoral supervision must be reinforced to prevent authoritarian and exploitative practices, ensuring democratic integrity in Indonesia’s electoral process.

Kebijakan Pemerintah Pidie Jaya dalam Pelestarian Tari Seudati untuk Pengembangan Pariwisata
This study examines the government policy of Pidie Jaya in preserving the traditional Seudati dance as a strategy for tourism development. The research focuses on how policy implementation addresses challenges arising from globalization, modernization, and declining public engagement, particularly among younger generations. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving government officials, artists, and local communities. The analysis also incorporated policy documents and case studies to evaluate the policy’s effectiveness. The findings reveal that current efforts have not yet produced optimal results in enhancing cultural awareness, tourism promotion, or local economic empowerment. Limited resources, weak monitoring mechanisms, and external cultural pressures remain significant obstacles. The study concludes that stronger financial support, systematic evaluation, and broader stakeholder participation are crucial to ensuring sustainable cultural preservation and tourism growth in Pidie Jaya.

Tasawuf sebagai Solusi Krisis Spiritual dalam Masyarakat Modern
This study aims to examine the role of Sufism as a spiritual remedy to the existential crisis faced by modern society. The phenomenon of inner emptiness, psychological distress, and moral degradation poses serious challenges in a materialistic and rationalistic era. In this context, Sufism offers a spiritual approach emphasizing self-purification, closeness to God, and the cultivation of virtuous character. Employing a qualitative literature review method, data were collected from classical and contemporary Sufi texts, scientific journals, articles, and prior research findings. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Sufism plays a significant role in enhancing modern society’s spiritual and emotional resilience. Core values such as sincerity (ikhlas), patience (sabr), asceticism (zuhd), trust in God (tawakkul), and self-reflection (muhasabah) remain relevant for alleviating inner turmoil and providing life with deeper meaning. In educational contexts, integrating Sufism can balance intellectual and spiritual dimensions among learners. This study concludes that Sufism is not merely a personal religious practice but also a cultural and educational approach that addresses contemporary spiritual crises holistically.‎
