Evaluation of the Implementation of Life Skills Education in Increasing the Independence and Productivity of Students
type: item
description: Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Life Skills Education in improving learners’ independence and productivity through a systematic literature review combined with bibliometric analysis. Data were collected from six major academic databases, resulting in 1,324 initial records. After removing 214 duplicate articles and 325 ineligible records identified through automated screening, 323 studies were retained for title and abstract screening. Of these, 285 articles were assessed for full-text eligibility, and ultimately 10 empirical studies met all inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The findings reveal that Life Skills Education significantly contributes to enhancing learners’ independence in emotional, intellectual, and economic dimensions, as well as increasing productivity through employability skills, entrepreneurship, and adaptive competencies. Bibliometric mapping using VOSviewer indicates that research trends are increasingly oriented toward human development, empowerment, sustainability, and socio-economic resilience. Furthermore, the results demonstrate a paradigm shift from a traditional skill-based training model to a more holistic framework that integrates personal development, well-being, and community empowerment. This study concludes that Life Skills Education plays a strategic role in non-formal education by fostering self-reliant and productive individuals. The findings also provide empirical and theoretical contributions for policymakers and educators in developing more integrated, context-based, and sustainable educational programs.

Civic Integrative Teacher Competence (CITeC): Mapping Competencies to Strengthen Elementary Students’ Digital Citizenship
type: item
description: Abstract: Strengthening elementary students’ civic character in the digital era is a major challenge in Pancasila education or PKn. This study maps teacher competencies that support the development of students’ civic knowledge, attitudes, and skills through classroom instructional practices. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted on 25 national and international articles published from 2019 to 2026 using a structured literature synthesis matrix as the data analysis instrument. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and classify teacher competencies. Findings show that the five core teacher competencies pedagogical, professional, social, personal, and digital have evolved into seven key competencies: civic pedagogic, contextual professional, socio-personal, 21st-century skills, digital pedagogic, democratic socio-emotional, and collaborative civic ecosystem.

School Well-Being sebagai Prediktor Resiliensi Santri: Studi Kuantitatif Berbasis Structural Equation Modeling di Pesantren
type: item
description: Abstract: This study is important for understanding how School Well-Being in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), which has been underexplored, can influence santri resilience in facing academic, social, and spiritual challenges within a structured pesantren environment. The study aims to analyze the impact of School Well-Being on santri resilience in pesantren. A quantitative approach with a correlational survey design was used. The study sample consisted of 416 senior high school-level santri selected using multistage cluster random sampling. The instruments used were the School Well-Being Scale based on the Konu and Rimpelä model, and the Resilience Scale based on Reivich and Shatté's theory. Both instruments demonstrated validity and reliability, with Cronbach's Alpha of 0.857 for the School Well-Being Scale and 0.790 for the Resilience Scale. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that School Well-Being positively and significantly affects santri resilience (β = 0.215; p < 0.001). These findings suggest that an emotionally, socially, and spiritually supportive pesantren environment contributes to strengthening the psychological resilience of santri. This study highlights the importance of developing an education ecosystem focused on well-being as a strategy to enhance santri resilience.

Religious Moderation in Islamic Education as a Strategy for Strengthening the Character of Tolerance and Prevention of Violence
type: item
description: Abstract: The increasing intolerance, radicalism and identity-based violence among Indonesian youth underscores the urgency of how higher commitment to Islam education on tolerance. This research reveals the moderation of religious thought in Islamic education as a strategy for peace and conflict prevention in a pluralistic society. This study, employing a qualitative and desk-based research design, scrutinizes academic papers, books, policy papers, and university reports that observe religious moderation as well as character education in Indonesia. The analysis of data applied was the content analysis technique, by categorizing and coding the key themes contained in relevant literature to find patterns [which] support religious moderation [in Islamic education]. The findings imply that wasatiyah internalization in the curriculum, teaching methods, school culture and digital literacy efforts are indicators of inclusive and resilient character towards non-violence. This research connects religious moderation with structural-functional theory, also social learning theory. It calls for policy support, better teacher preparation and more empirical research to facilitate better implementation in the future. Abstrak: Meningkatnya intoleransi, radikalisme, dan kekerasan berbasis identitas di kalangan pemuda Indonesia menggarisbawahi urgensi komitmen yang lebih tinggi terhadap pendidikan Islam yang berfokus pada toleransi.

Nahwu Teaching Materials and the Development of Religious Character: Comparing Curriculum Design in Amtsilati and Mulakhkhash
type: item
description: This study examines how the curriculum design of nahwu textbooks in Islamic education shapes students’ religious character, a dimension that has received limited attention in previous textbook comparison research. It analyses and compares the curriculum design of Amtsilati and Mulakhkhash Qawāʾid al-Lughah al-ʿArabiyyah and explores how their design features relate to the development of students’ religiosity. Using a qualitative descriptive–comparative approach, the study conducts document analysis of content materials, particularly learning examples and tables of contents. Data analysis involves selecting relevant text units, coding them according to Tyler’s four curriculum components, comparing the resulting profiles, and interpreting their implications for the intellectual, ritualistic, and consequential dimensions of religiosity based on Glock and Stark’s framework. The findings show that Amtsilati adopts a practical, drill‑based, spiral design that emphasises pattern repetition and accurate reading of kitab kuning, whereas Mulakhkhash employs a conceptual, systematically classified design centred on iʿrāb and syntactic analysis. Both enhance Arabic comprehension but nurture religious character differently: Amtsilati strengthens discipline, consistency, and confidence in worship‑related recitation, while Mulakhkhash fosters careful reasoning and intellectual responsibility. Conceptually, the study proposes a model that links textbook curriculum design to specific dimensions of religious character and offers practical insights for integrating practice‑oriented and concept‑oriented elements in nahwu instruction.

Dominasi AI dalam Pembelajaran Tinggi: Refleksi Kritis terhadap Pembentukan Karakter Mahasiswa
type: item
description: Abstract: The dominance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education learning is an inevitable consequence of digital transformation, offering efficiency, personalization, and accelerated academic processes. However, the extensive use of AI also poses significant challenges to the formation of students’ character, particularly in terms of academic integrity, independent thinking, learning ethics, and moral responsibility. Although various studies have discussed the effectiveness of AI in improving learning efficiency, studies that integratively link the dominance of AI with the dimensions of character education in higher education are still relatively limited. This article aims to critically examine the implications of AI dominance on character education in higher education and to analyze the roles of lecturers and institutions in maintaining a balance between technological efficiency and humanistic values. This study employs a qualitative approach through a critical literature review of relevant national and international journal articles on AI-based learning and character education. This study uses a qualitative approach through a systematic critical review of reputable national and international journal articles published in the last five years, with a selection process based on thematic relevance and conceptual synthesis analysis. The results of the study indicate that the dominance of AI contributes to increased academic efficiency and access to learning, but simultaneously gives rise to three concrete implications for student character, namely: (1) a shift in learning orientation from reflective to instrumental; (2) the potential erosion of academic integrity due to dependence on generative AI; and (3) the weakening of the dialogic and collaborative dimensions in learning. Abstrak: Dominasi Artificial Intelligence (AI) dalam pembelajaran di perguruan tinggi merupakan konsekuensi logis dari transformasi digital pendidikan yang menawarkan efisiensi, perso…

Pemetaan Landscape Miskonsepsi Fisika: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: Abstract: Misconceptions constitute a serious issue in physics education as they hinder students’ conceptual understanding. This study aims to systematically map the distribution of misconception topics, the characteristics of diagnostic instruments, and the effectiveness of misconception-reduction methods based on empirical evidence. A total of 200 articles were retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, and ERIC and screened using the PRISMA framework, resulting in 40 eligible studies (2014–2025, empirical research, clearly identified diagnostic instruments, and full-text availability). The selection process involved identification, title–abstract screening, and full-text eligibility assessment to ensure methodological rigor. The findings indicate that three-tier and four-tier diagnostic tests are the most frequently used instruments, while misconceptions are most prevalent in mechanics, followed by electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and thermodynamics.

Menakar Kemampuan Bernalar Kritis dan Literasi Murid SD: Studi Kasus Tulisan Refleksi Memaknai Cerita Bergambar “Ketangguhan Wisnu”
type: item
description: Abstract: The significant decline in Indonesia's reading literacy scores in the 2022 PISA data, coupled with the challenges of digital disruption for elementary school students, has become a primary urgency for strengthening the School Literacy Movement (GLS). This narrative research aims to: (1) analyze and map the relevance between students' personal experiences and the indicators of critical thinking found in characters; (2) describe the linguistic profiles of the students' writing to observe how they construct ideas of resilience through word choice and language style. The research subjects were selected using a non-probability sampling technique, specifically purposive sampling, based on the criterion of narrative depth. The participants included students from grade 4 at SD Negeri Ngringin (2 students), grade 5 at SD Negeri 1 Jatilawang (9 students), and grade 6 at SD Negeri Sariharjo (2 students). The results indicate that the use of the picture storybook "Ketangguhan Wisnu" effectively improves students' reflective literacy and critical thinking skills through strong connections between personal experiences and resilience indicators, such as self-confidence, emotional regulation, and the persistence to bounce back from failure. Substantively, students were able to construct ideas about resilience well; however, their linguistic profiles revealed that technical writing skills are still dominated by errors that do not comply with PUEBI standards amidst the challenges of digital disruption. Abstrak: Penurunan signifikan capaian literasi membaca Indonesia pada data PISA 2022 serta tantangan disrupsi digital pada murid sekolah dasar menjadi urgensi utama bagi penguatan Gerakan Literasi Sekolah (GLS).

Students’ Collaboration Skills Profile in Case Method Learning: A Cognitive-Behavioristic Perspective
type: item
description: Abstract: The increasing demand for 21st century competencies highlights the importance of collaboration skills in higher education. However, limited studies have examined how integrated cognitive-behavioristic grouping strategies shape specific dimensions of students’ collaboration skills. This study aims to analyze the profile of students’ collaboration skills within a cognitive-behavioristic grouping framework implemented through case-method-based collaborative learning. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach embedded in a lesson study design involving 30 third-semester students of the Elementary School Teacher Education Program. Data were collected through structured observation sheets, field notes, student worksheets, voice recordings, and documentation to ensure triangulation. Although descriptive statistics were used to calculate percentage distributions, the analysis remained qualitative-descriptive, focusing on interpreting observable collaborative behaviors across five aspects: contribution, time management, problem solving, working with others, and investigation techniques. The findings indicate that the overall collaboration skill level reached 72,83% (collaborative category), with stronger performance in interpersonal aspects than in higher-order investigative competencies. These results suggest that cognitive-behavioristic grouping effectively reinforces cooperative behaviors but requires additional cognitive scaffolding to optimize analytical and inquiry skills. The novelty of this study lies in integrating cognitive and behavioristic dimensions as a structured basis for heterogeneous grouping and in examining collaboration skills across specific measurable aspects. The study contributes theoretically to collaborative learning design by bridging behavioral engagement and cognitive depth, and practically by offering a structured grouping model that supports balanced collaborative development in higher education.
