Parental Obligation to Provide Religious Education to Children under Islamic Family Law in Indonesia
This research aims to examine the obligations of parents in providing religious education to children from the perspective of Islamic family law in Indonesia. Religious education is a basic right of children guaranteed by law, as well as the main responsibility of parents as the first and main educators in the family. Through a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach, this study analyzes various relevant regulations, such as the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, and Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. The results of the study show that Islamic family law explicitly obliges parents to instill religious education to children as part of the process of shaping children's morals, morals and character from an early age. The implications of the results of this study indicate that the lack of legal awareness and weak implementation of religious education responsibilities by parents can lead to the formation of a young generation that is spiritually weak and prone to deviant behavior. Thus, strengthening the role of the family in children's religious education is an important aspect in creating a generation of faith, piety and noble character.

The Impact of Bullying on Students Social Development at SMA Negeri 11 Makassar
The problem in this study is the rampant cases of bullying in the environment of SMA Negeri 11 Makassar which have a negative impact on the development of students' social skills, both as victims, perpetrators, and recipients of sanctions for bullying. This study aims to analyze how student characteristics affect the ability to interact socially in the school environment. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study type, using in-depth interview and observation techniques. The research sample consisted of students identified as victims of bullying, perpetrators of bullying, and students who received sanctions for bullying. The results showed that victims tended to experience decreased self-confidence and withdraw from the social environment, while perpetrators showed dominant manipulative behavior. On the other hand, students who received sanctions in the form of counseling showed increased social awareness and more positive behavioral changes than those who only received administrative punishment. The implications of the results indicate that handling bullying cases requires a more educational and empathetic approach, not just punishment. As a result, schools can create a learning environment that is more inclusive, safe, and supports the development of students' character and social skills as a whole.

The Influence of Korean Drama Series on Behavioral Changes Among Adolescents
This study addresses the growing consumption of Korean Drama among students at the Islamic University of Jakarta and its suspected impact on adolescent behaviour spanning lifestyle, social interaction, and religious practice. The research aims to quantify the influence of Korean Drama exposure on behavioural change and to clarify its implications for character development on campus. A quantitative correlational survey was employed, using purposive sampling to draw 33 respondents from a population of 133 fourth and sixth semester students. Data were gathered through a validated closed?ended questionnaire and analysed with the product moment correlation test. Findings reveal a correlation coefficient of r=0.593 (p<0.01) and an adjusted R² of approximately 0.60, indicating a moderate yet significant relationship between viewing intensity and behavioural change. These results suggest that Korean Drama can foster positive outcomes such as motivation to learn foreign languages while simultaneously posing risks, including heightened consumerism and diminished religious discipline. Consequently, the study recommends campus based media literacy initiatives and psychosocial mentoring to maximize the benefits of Korean Drama and mitigate its adverse effects through strengthened selfcontrol and reinforcement of Islamic values.

Islamic Education Revolution in Indonesia: a Review of Harun Nasutions Thoughts
This research aims to explore Harun Nasutions views on education and then revolutionize education that is related to current developments, especially in Indonesia. The method applied in this study is a literature review, where the author tries to find, organize, and analyze each related reference. The results of this study indicate that Harun Nasution assessed that there was a lag among Muslims in Indonesia. For a long period, Muslims in Indonesia wanted to innovate in education. There are several mistakes that occur in Indonesian Muslim society, where many still rely on traditional learning methods and tend to reject other approaches, so that Muslims in Indonesia are left behind. Many thinkers have tried to create new ideas for Islamic education reform. One of them is Harun Nasution. According to Harun Nasution, there are three approaches that are suitable for reviving Islam. First, the use of rationality in religion. Second, people who have an understanding of Jabariyah also get an understanding of Qadariyah as a comparison and transition. Third, do not reject rationality and God's revelation because both are interconnected. All of this can be applied in various aspects of life experience, especially in the field of education.

The Consumption Behavior of K-Pop Fans from the Perspective of Maslahah
This study examines the consumption behavior of K-Pop fans from the perspective of maslahah in Islamic economics. The main problem raised is the imbalance between the fulfillment of needs and desires, and how it is relevant to the concept of welfare according to Islamic law. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the consumption behavior of K-Pop fans reflects the principles of maslahah which emphasize the balance between worldly satisfaction and the blessings of the hereafter. This study uses a descriptive-analytical approach with qualitative methods. Data were collected through observation and interviews with a number of K-Pop fans in the author's environment as research samples. The results of the study indicate that consumption that is oriented solely to the fulfillment of desires tends to be inconsistent with the principles of maslahah, because it ignores the spiritual aspects and social responsibility in Islam. The implications of this finding emphasize the importance of awareness of Islamic values in forming consumption behavior that is not only materially satisfying, but also has worship value and supports the achievement of true welfare.

Total Quality Management (TQM) in Islamic Education: A Qur’anic Perspective
Islamic education in the midst of global competition is required to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances and conditions of the times. Traditional organizational management will cause Islamic education to lose its direction and existence. This study aims to conduct a review and analysis of the principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) in Islamic education from the perspective of the Qur'an. The method used in this study is a literature review, involving the examination of various relevant and related sources, including books and scientific journals. The analysis involves comparing and integrating the principles of TQM from the perspective of the Qur'an. The results of the study indicate that the main principles of TQM are consistent with and have points of convergence with the teachings of the Qur'an. For example, the principle of “layyinah” is in line with the principle of customer satisfaction, the principle of ‘syawir’ is consistent with the principle of fact-based management, while the principle of respect for all people is in line with the principle of “tahiyyat” as explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. Similarly, continuous improvement in quality enhancement efforts is relevant to the Quran. This study recommends the importance of adopting TQM as a management approach for Islamic education that aligns with the values of the Quran.

Adaptive Inclusion Education Model for Students Mobility Barriers at Karang Jati Elementary School Blora
This study aims to explore an adaptive inclusion education model for students with mobility barriers at SD Karang Jati Blora. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through classroom observations, in depth interviews with classroom teachers, Special Assistant Teachers, students, and parents, and field documentation. This study found that inclusive learning strategies are applied through assignment modification, flexibility of evaluation methods, and the active role of Special Assistant Teachers as academic and emotional companions. The findings also showed that students' social interaction with movement barriers took place positively in the classroom, supported by a culture of peer empathy and a non-discriminatory approach to teachers. Parents play an important role in supporting children's learning processes, even though they have not been systemically involved in the preparation of learning. The main challenge facing schools is the absence of specialized training, formal documentation systems such as the Individualized Education Plan, on the role of Special Assistant Teachers. The study recommends the need for more affirmative education policies, ongoing training, and strengthening collaboration between stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of adaptive inclusion practices in primary schools.

Reformulation of School Management Strategies in Improving Teachers Digital Competence: A Case Study
This research aims to explore and analyze the reformulation of school management strategies in improving the digital competence of teachers in private high schools. Digital competence is an urgent need in the era of educational transformation, especially for teachers as the main actors in the learning process. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design on two private high schools located in the Magetan area. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies, analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions drawn. The results of the study show that private schools that implement HR strategies in a planned and contextual manner ranging from digital skill-based teacher recruitment, continuous training, digital platform-based performance evaluation, to providing digital innovation-based incentives are more successful in improving teacher competence. The transformational leadership of the principal is a key factor in the success of the strategy. These findings confirm the importance of a comprehensive school management reformulation to support the successful digital transformation of education in private secondary schools. This research provides theoretical and practical implications for school and foundation management in designing digital needs-based human resource strategies.

Development of Logic Gate Trainer Kit Media: Validity Study
This study aims to develop a Logic Gate Trainer Kit as an effective instructional medium and to evaluate its validity through expert assessment. The development process adopts the Instructional Development Institute (IDI) model, which consists of three stages: define, develop, and evaluate. During the define phase, instructional needs and media specifications were identified. In the develop phase, a prototype of the trainer kit was created based on the instructional objectives and technical requirements. The evaluate phase involved expert validation to assess the media’s quality and relevance. A total of four media experts and four subject matter experts participated in the validation process. The results of the media expert validation yielded an average score of 0.78 %, exceeding the minimum validity threshold of 0.667 %, indicating that the media is valid. Similarly, the validation by subject matter experts produced an average score of 0.82%, confirming the content validity of the trainer kit. These findings demonstrate that the Logic Gate Trainer Kit is a valid learning medium and suitable for use in digital electronics instruction.

Development and Validity Analysis of an ESP8266-Based IoT Training Kit for Vocational School Students
The transformation of vocational education, especially vocational high schools (SMK), towards Industry 4.0 requires learning media in the field of IoT that are affordable, applicable, and aligned with the curriculum. This study aims to develop and analyze the validity of an ESP8266-based IoT training kit for vocational school students. Using the Borg & Gall Research and Development model, the stages include needs analysis through practical observations and teacher interviews, design and prototype creation, and expert validation. Three validators (experts in learning media, vocational education learning, and one vocational school teacher in the field of electronics) assessed the kit using a Likert scale of 1-4 with a calculation of the percentage of achievement. The results showed an average validity of 98%, so the product is classified as very valid and suitable for use as a learning medium. Theoretically, this study strengthens research on the development of IoT media in vocational education. On the other hand, practically, the resulting training device is very economical, simple, compatible with various sensors/actuators, and facilitates students' application skills through direct practice. The implication is that this training tool is ready to be integrated into practical sessions to support the achievement of IoT competencies and job readiness.

Enhancing Student Creativity through Project Based Learning in Indonesia’s National Curriculum
This study examines the impact of Project Based Learning (PjBL) on student creativity within the National Curriculum at elementary schools. Using a quantitative experimental design, the study involved two groups: the experimental group applying PjBL and the control group following conventional learning methods. The sample consisted of 120 fifth grade students divided into these two groups. Data were collected through a validated creativity test administered before and after the intervention. The results revealed that the experimental group showed a significant increase in creativity compared to the control group. The average creativity score for the experimental group rose from 62.5 to 85.3, whereas the control group only increased from 61.4 to 65.2. These results demonstrate that implementing PjBL in the National Curriculum effectively enhances student creativity, particularly in problem-solving, originality of ideas, and collaboration skills. Consequently, PjBL can serve as a valuable method for fostering 21st-century skills, which align with the core objectives of Indonesia’s National Curriculum.
