Improving Accounting Learning Outcomes on Petty Cash Fund Material for Accounting Students in Vocational High Schools Through Canva-Based Interactive Learning Media
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the low mastery of petty cash fund material among grade XI AKL 2 SMK Jakarta students, where only 19.4% of students achieved the completion criteria in the initial observation. To overcome this problem, the Kurt Lewin Classroom Action Research (CAR) method was applied in two cycles that integrated interactive learning media based on PowerPoint using Canva. Research data from 36 students were collected through learning outcome tests and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests. The use of paired t-tests was carried out to strengthen the validity of the research results and prove that the increase in scores between cycles occurred due to the improvement of the actions given. The results of the study showed a significant increase, where classical completeness in Cycle I was 47.2% (average 75.3) increasing to 83.3% in Cycle II (average 85.3) after the improvement of actions in the form of ice breaking and a reward system. This significance was strengthened by the results of the difference test with a Sig. value. (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05, so it is concluded that PowerPoint-based interactive learning media using Canva is effective in creating a dynamic learning atmosphere and optimizing students' cognitive learning outcomes on petty cash fund material.

Exploration of Extracurricular Management in Building a Culture of Achievement: A Comparative Study in Two Elementary Schools in the Bekasi Area
type: item
description: Extracurricular activities play a strategic role in developing students' talents, interests, and character, yet their management quality in Indonesian primary schools remains inconsistent. This study aims to describe and compare extracurricular management at two primary schools in the Bekasi area. A descriptive-comparative qualitative approach was employed using purposive sampling with four participants. Data were gathered through interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Findings show that the first school excels through a multi-layered structure — coordinator, supervisors, and external professional coaches — backed by vision-based planning, structured BOS funding, quarterly evaluations, and active parental involvement, resulting in provincial-level championships. The second school operates only three extracurricular branches without a formal coordinator or written plans, with several programs no longer active. This study concludes that extracurricular success depends on the consistent integration of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling functions, not facilities alone. Schools lagging behind are urged to establish a coordinator structure, develop written program plans, and implement a periodic evaluation system.

type: item
description: Tea is very popular in Indonesia due to its distinctive and refreshing taste. However, the high production and consumption of ready-to-drink tea beverages raise concerns about the use of artificial sweeteners such as saccharin and cyclamate, which can have adverse health effects if consumed excessively. Based on this issue, the present study aims to determine the content of saccharin and cyclamate in iced tea beverage products circulating in Kramat Jati Subdistrict. This research was conducted descriptively using a qualitative method at the Chemistry Laboratory of the Medical Laboratory Technology Study Program, MH Thamrin University, Jakarta, from December 2024 to January 2025. A total of 18 iced tea beverage samples were tested using a color reaction method for saccharin identification and a precipitation method for cyclamate identification. The results showed that out of 18 samples, 9 samples (50%) were positive for saccharin and 12 samples (66.7%) were positive for cyclamate, while 3 samples (16.7%) were negative for both types of artificial sweeteners. It can be concluded that most iced tea beverages circulating in Kramat Jati Subdistrict still contain the artificial sweeteners saccharin and cyclamate. These findings indicate the need to increase public and business awareness regarding the health risks associated with excessive consumption of artificial sweeteners.

Silent Architects: Why Parents Are the Key to Character, and the Risks When They Fail
type: item
description: ABSTRACT Silent Architects: Why Parents Are the Key to Character, and the Risks When They Fail, Keywords: Character Development, Home Education, Parental Role Modeling, Emotional Neglect, Adolescent Resilience, Behavioral Psychology. This study explores the critical role of the home environment as the primary site for child and adolescent character development. It emphasizes that children develop foundational traits through the long-term observation and imitation of their parents, identifying parental affection and positive role modeling as the most influential factors in psychological growth. The research highlights a growing disconnect in modern parenting, where challenges such as digital media influence, professional demands, and a lack of pedagogical preparedness lead to emotional neglect and toxic domestic dynamics. Such neglect often results in "invisible trauma," manifesting as behavioral issues and academic difficulties within the school setting. Conversely, a stable, nurturing family environment fosters resilience and emotional intelligence, providing a necessary buffer against complex social pressures. The findings suggest that the well-being of the next generation depends on parents fulfilling their psychological mandate through consistent engagement and self-improvement. Ultimately, the study underscores that effective character building requires a collaborative synergy between the home and school, rooted in the parents' commitment to being credible primary educators.

Comparative Analysis of Learning Patterns in Private Elementary Schools and Public Elementary Schools in Batam City
type: item
description: Basic education in Indonesia is currently in a transition period with the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which demands adaptation of learning patterns in various schools. This study aims to compare the learning patterns implemented at SD Muhammadiyah Plus Batam and SDN 008 Lubuk Baja. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a comparative study approach, where data is collected through document analysis of comparative instruments.

The Jabariyah Flow in Islamic Theological Thought: History, Thought, and Its Implications for the Concept of Destiny
type: item
description: The phenomenon of theological debate regarding the limits of human freedom and the absoluteness of God's will continues to move dynamically in the history of Islamic thought, where the Jabariyah school is present as a representation of a radical deterministic view. This study aims to comprehensively examine the history of the emergence, main thoughts, theological arguments, and the role of the main figures of the Jabariyah school in the conceptualization of the development of theology. The research method applied is a qualitative method through an in-depth library research approach by analyzing various valid classical and contemporary theological literature sources. The results of the study show that Jabariyah developed rapidly during the reign of the Umayyad Dynasty, pioneered by figures Ja'ad bin Dirham and Jahm bin Shafwan, with the central doctrine that all human existence and actions are completely determined by the destiny of Allah SWT without free choice. In conclusion, this extreme view reduces the basic concept of human endeavor, thus triggering widespread criticism from scholars because it is considered to negate human accountability for their sins. The implication is that the rigid understanding of Jabariyah has the potential to foster an attitude of resignation (fatalism) that hinders the social, intellectual, and productivity of Muslims to this day. Therefore, further research is recommended to examine the transformation of the Jabariyah movement's thinking in the modern era as well as the psychological implications of this fatalistic doctrine on the economic work ethic of contemporary Muslim society.

Analysis of Learning Patterns in Shaping Student Character: A Comparative Study of Muhammadiyah ASEAN Elementary School and Batam State Elementary School
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze and compare instructional approaches to character building at the primary education level, using a case study of two elementary schools in Batam City: SD Muhammadiyah ASEAN and SDN 004 Batu Aji. As an urban area with high social heterogeneity, fostering character in children from an early age presents both a challenge and a crucial necessity. Employing a qualitative approach with a comparative study design, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with principals, classroom teachers, and religious education teachers, as well as an analysis of curriculum documents from both partner institutions. The findings reveal that SD Muhammadiyah ASEAN implements a character-building approach based on "Theological-Spiritual Habitualization," wherein *Al-Islam* and *Kemuhammadiyahan* (AIK) values ​​are integrated into all aspects of instruction and reinforced through the habitual practice of intensive daily worship. Meanwhile, SDN 004 Batu Aji employs a "Structural-Civic Regulation" approach centered on the Project to Strengthen the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) within the *Kurikulum Merdeka* (Independent Curriculum), focusing on values ​​of inclusivity, nationalism, and religious tolerance in the public sphere. The primary distinction lies in the source of legitimacy for character reinforcement (theological-traditional versus juridical-national). The study concludes that both approaches possess complementary strengths; if synergized, they could form an ideal character education model for primary-school-aged children in industrial urban areas.

A Comparative Analysis of School Principal Leadership Styles at SD Muhammadiyah 12 Pamulang and SD Negeri Buaran 02 Serpong
type: item
description: The principal's leadership plays a crucial role as the epicenter driving educational quality and shaping organizational culture in elementary education units. This qualitative research with a comparative case study approach aims to explore, deeply analyze, and compare the leadership styles of principals in two institutions with different autonomy statuses, namely a Muhammadiyah 12 Elementary School of Pamulang and a Public Elementary School of Buaran 02 Serpong in the South Tangerang region. Primary data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews dissecting five essential managerial aspects: vision and leadership, coordination and communication, task delegation, school development strategy, and the impact of leadership. The results showed significant managerial divergence. The Principal of the Muhammadiyah 12 Elementary School applies a transformational-visionary leadership style, manifested through egalitarian communication, specific competency-based delegation, and a focus on innovations in strengthening basic literacy, character building, and the integration of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in learning assessments. Conversely, the Principal of the Public Elementary School of Buaran 02 Serpong tends to adopt a transactional-directive leadership style centered on bureaucratic compliance, a top-down hierarchical coordination system, and the fulfillment of basic administrative standards due to limited autonomy and funding. This study recommends the need for autonomy restructuring for public school principals and the strengthening of managerial training programs oriented towards pedagogical innovation to holistically bridge the disparity in elementary education quality.

A Comparison of the Ummi and Baligho Al-Qur'an Learning Methods in Improving Students Al-Qur'an Recitation Skills (Tahsin)
type: item
description: The ability to read the Qur'an fluently (tartil) and in accordance with tajwid rules is a fundamental competency required of students in Islamic educational institutions, making tahsin programs a strategic part of the religious curriculum. Various Qur'anic learning methods have been developed in Indonesia, including the UMMI Method and the Baligho Method, each with its own philosophy, teaching materials, and coaching system. This article comparatively examines the basic concepts, similarities, differences, advantages, and implementation challenges of both methods through a library research approach using a descriptive-comparative method and content analysis technique. The findings show that both methods share the same goal of guiding students toward tartil reading ability, with similarities in gradual learning principles, emphasis on correct articulation points (makharijul huruf), and mandatory teacher training. The fundamental difference lies in the quality assurance system: the UMMI Method applies ten standardized quality pillars nationally through the Ummi Foundation, while the Baligho Method offers greater flexibility for implementing institutions to adapt instruction to student characteristics. The implication is that institutions should select a method based on teacher readiness, quality-standardization orientation, and student characteristics. Further experimental or field-based research is recommended to empirically test the effectiveness of both methods in broader contexts.

Analysis of Calculation Strategies Used by Second-Grade Elementary School Students in Solving Multiplication Problems Based on Numeracy Skills
type: item
description: Numeracy skills serve as a crucial foundation for elementary school students in grasping mathematical concepts, particularly multiplication—a fundamental topic in the second grade. Each student employs a distinct calculation strategy to solve multiplication problems, reflecting their specific level of numeracy proficiency. This study aims to describe the variety of calculation strategies used by second-grade students to solve multiplication problems and to relate these strategies to their numeracy levels. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted, involving second-grade students categorized into high, medium, and low numeracy levels based on initial numeracy test results. Data were gathered through written tests featuring multiplication word problems, observations of the problem-solving process, and semi-structured interviews with both students and classroom teachers. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students with high numeracy levels tend to use direct multiplication strategies and leverage their understanding of basic multiplication facts. Students with medium numeracy levels predominantly use repeated addition and finger-based calculation methods (*jarimatika*), whereas students with low numeracy levels rely on "counting all" strategies and concrete aids, frequently struggling to grasp the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. Additionally, common errors were identified, such as place-value mistakes, reversed operational sequences in mixed problems, and an inability to formulate a concluding answer. These findings underscore the importance of using concrete learning aids and a gradual Realistic Mathematics Education approach to help students develop calculation strategies that are more efficient, meaningful, and aligned with their evolving numeracy skills.
