Penerapan Model Pembelajaran PjBL untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Konsep Perubahan Wujud Benda pada Siswa Sekolah Dasar
This study aims to describe the application of the Project Based Learning (PJBL) learning model in improving the understanding of the concept of changes in the state of matter in Elementary School students. The background of this study is based on the low understanding of students on the material of changes in the state of matter, which can have an impact on the weak mastery of scientific concepts as a whole. The method used is qualitative research with a library research approach, where data is collected through analysis of various scientific literature, journals, and relevant academic sources. The results of the study indicate that PJBL is a learning model that emphasizes the active involvement of students in real projects, from designing, implementing, to presenting the results. The application of PJBL in the topic of changes in the state of matter encourages students to experience scientific processes such as melting, evaporating, freezing, and condensing directly through simple experiments. PJBL not only improves students' conceptual understanding, but also develops science process skills, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and responsibility. In its implementation, PJBL follows certain stages starting from determining essential questions to reflection. Despite facing several challenges such as limited time, facilities, and teacher readiness, solutions can be sought through effective planning and professional training. Thus, PJBL has proven to be the right approach in improving the quality of science learning in elementary schools, especially in strengthening students' understanding of the concept of changes in the state of objects in a comprehensive and meaningful manner.

Penerapan Model TPS untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Nilai Persatuan pada Pembelajaran Pancasila di Kelas VI
Instilling the value of unity from an early age is essential in shaping a young generation with tolerance and the ability to live harmoniously in diversity. However, the teaching of Pancasila in elementary schools is still largely carried out through conventional approaches that inadequately address students’ affective development. Instruction often remains teacher-centered and lacks interaction, making it difficult for students to internalize national values in their daily lives. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing the Think Pair Share (TPS) model in enhancing students’ understanding of the value of unity in sixth-grade Pancasila education. The research employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method. Data were collected from scholarly journals, books, and relevant studies published between 2020 and 2025. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to explore the patterns of TPS implementation and its impact on students’ comprehension of unity. The findings reveal that the TPS model fosters a collaborative, inclusive, and participatory learning environment, enabling students to grasp and internalize the value of unity more deeply. The stages of TPS—thinking, pairing, and sharing—provide students with opportunities to express opinions, listen to others' perspectives, and reach shared understanding. In addition to improving academic outcomes, this model also significantly contributes to the development of character and social attitudes. In conclusion, the TPS model is an effective and relevant teaching strategy for instilling Pancasila values, particularly unity, within the context of 21st-century learning and the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes active, contextual, and character-based education.

Studi Kritis Bahan Ajar Al-qur’an Hadis Materi Perilaku Jujur dalam Bermuamalah Kelas XI MTs Hidayatul Falah Sukabumi
Instilling the value of honesty in muamalah (social and economic interactions) is an essential component of Islamic character education, particularly in shaping students' moral foundation. This study critically examines the teaching materials used in the subject of Qur’an and Hadith for Grade IX students at MTs Hidayatul Falah, focusing on the theme “Honest Behavior in Muamalah.” The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method. Data were obtained through the examination of teaching documents, classroom observations, and interviews with educators. The findings reveal that the materials used address three key learning domains: cognitive (knowledge-based), affective (attitudinal), and psychomotor (behavioral). However, the content tends to overemphasize the cognitive domain, often presenting honesty and the importance of keeping promises merely as theoretical constructs without sufficient contextualization. While the materials are based on authentic Qur’anic verses and hadiths, they fall short in connecting those teachings to real-life scenarios that are relatable to students’ daily experiences, particularly in the context of modern adolescent challenges such as academic integrity, social media behavior, and financial transactions. Additionally, the dominant instructional method is still conventional, with limited use of interactive and student-centered strategies. As a result, students are less likely to internalize and practice these moral values meaningfully. The study underscores the need to develop more dynamic and contextualized teaching resources that incorporate active learning techniques, such as case studies, role-playing, and reflective discussions. These methods can enhance student engagement, critical thinking, and self-reflection, thereby fostering a deeper understanding and genuine application of honesty in everyday muamalah. Strengthening the relevance and delivery of religious character education is vital for preparing students to become ethically responsible individuals in both personal and social contexts.

In response, social studies teachers played a pivotal role in addressing these issues by integrating digital literacy concepts into classroom instruction, promoting the creation of positive and educational content, and fostering open communication with parents to monitor usage outside school. These strategies contributed to increased student awareness of the potential harms of uncritical social media use. However, the study also highlighted ongoing challenges, such as institutional gadget restrictions in Islamic boarding school environments and the extended duration often required to shift entrenched behaviors and digital habits. The study concludes that social studies teachers, when supported by a collaborative framework involving parents and school policies, can significantly influence students' digital behavior. Strengthening media literacy education and promoting critical thinking are essential steps toward cultivating responsible and ethical social media use among adolescents in religious educational settings.
Menyoroti Kesenjangan Sosial dalam Tradisi Pemakaman di Desa Sari Rejo
Religiousness in the context of religious life in Indonesia is not only seen in the diversity between religions, but also within the same religion with differences in religious beliefs and practices. Each individual or group has its own way of expressing their beliefs, which are often influenced by local cultural backgrounds and traditions. Indonesia, as a country rich in culture, has a legacy of traditions that are still embedded in people's lives, including in religious practices. In Sari Rejo Village, the funeral procession is one concrete manifestation of the fusion of religious values ​​and hereditary traditions. However, within the community there are groups who adhere to pure Islamic law, without mixing religious teachings with ancestral traditions. This difference in perspective triggers social conflict between adherents of religious law and adherents of tradition. This conflict does not stop at differences in practice, but develops into a form of social discrimination against adherents of religious law. This condition gives rise to social inequality that can disrupt the harmony of community life. This study aims to answer several main questions: (1) what is the form and meaning of funeral traditions in Sari Rejo Village? (2) why social inequality arises in these funeral ceremonies? (3) how are traditional adherents treated differently compared to those who adhere to religious law? (The text appears to be incomplete and should be omitted.) The research method used is a qualitative method, relying on primary data, secondary data, and direct field observations. The results show that the majority of Sari Rejo residents, as adherents of tradition, tend to discriminate against those who adhere to religious law. This is evident in the differences in treatment, attitudes, and social acceptance of those who choose to practice their religion according to its guidance without incorporating traditional elements. These findings emphasize that differences in religious practices, even within the same religion, can become a source of social inequality if not managed wisely.
Membangun Fondasi Pendidikan : Solusi Atas Minimnya Kemampuan Membaca dan Berhitung di Sekolah Dasar Indonesia
Reading and numeracy skills are the main foundations for the learning process, cognitive development, and student success in everyday life.
