Peran Media Digital terhadap Perkembangan Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Santri PPTQ AR-ROYYAN Pacitan
This study aims to describe the role of digital media in Arabic language learning development at PPTQ Ar-Royyan Pacitan, including its implementation, challenges, and impacts. The research employed a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews and direct observation of the learning process. The participants consisted of students, university students, and teachers at PPTQ Ar-Royyan Pacitan.The findings show that digital media plays a supportive role in Arabic language learning through the use of platforms such as YouTube, the Al-Ma’ani dictionary application, e-books, and social media. These tools help students improve their understanding of learning materials, expand vocabulary mastery, and develop Arabic language skills through more engaging audio-visual presentations. Digital media also provides learning flexibility, as it can be accessed anytime and anywhere. However, several challenges were identified, including limited internet access, reduced learning concentration due to social media distractions, and decreased direct interaction between students and teachers. The study also reveals that excessive use of digital media may lead to dependency and reduce students’ motivation to study classical Islamic texts directly. Therefore, digital media is considered only as a supporting tool in pesantren education and cannot replace the traditional system that emphasizes direct interaction, moral values, and teacher role modeling. With proper supervision, digital media can effectively support Arabic language learning in Islamic boarding schools.

Optimalisasi Strategi Promosi Museum Balanga: Meningkatkan Kunjungan Wisatawan Mancanegara melalui Budaya Dayak Berkelanjutan
This study aims to examine and formulate the most effective promotional strategies to increase the number of foreign tourist visits to the Balanga Museum by developing Dayak culture in a sustainable manner. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies, which are then analyzed using the sustainable tourism framework from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the 7P Marketing Mix, and SWOT analysis. This study shows that the museum's current promotional strategies are still too focused on the domestic market and have not optimized the use of digital marketing, multilingual content, and international collaboration, resulting in limited global exposure to Dayak culture. The main obstacles include limited promotional resources and low levels of digitization. There are opportunities for development through the implementation of virtual tour-based promotions, the development of multilingual digital content, and global partnerships that remain based on the principles of sustainability. This study contributes theoretically through the framework of sustainable tourism, the 7P Marketing Mix, and SWOT analysis in the context of developing cultural museum promotion.

Penerapan Membaca Kreatif dalam Konversi Teks Berita Menjadi Cerpen pada Generasi Z
Language skills play a fundamental role in human communication and knowledge development. Among the four language skills, reading is a receptive skill that allows individuals to receive, comprehend, and interpret information through written texts. One approach that goes beyond mere comprehension is creative reading, which encourages readers to think critically, imagine, and generate new ideas based on texts they read. Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2010, is highly familiar with digital information, particularly news texts circulating through social media and online platforms. However, their reading activities have not been optimally utilized to produce creative literary works. This study aims to examine the application of creative reading in converting news texts into short stories among Generation Z. A descriptive quantitative method was employed involving 17 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Respondents were given digital news texts to convert into short stories, assessed using a rubric comprising five aspects: content relevance, creativity, intrinsic elements, language use, and coherence, with a maximum score of 25.

Throughout the learning process, teachers employ Problem-Based Learning (PBL) methods.
Metode Window Shopping sebagai Strategi Pembelajaran Inovatif dalam Meningkatkan Minat Belajar Siswa
Pancasila Education at SMAN 2 Lamongan, the lecture method is still theoretical. This causes students' learning interest to be low. This condition causes the learning process to feel monotonous, causes boredom, and decreases active student participation. This study aims to examine the effect of implementing the Window Shopping method on students' learning interest in the Pancasila Education subject in class XI of SMAN 2 Lamongan. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental type and a nonequivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of 70 students consisting of 35 students in the experimental class (XI-10) and 35 students in the control class (XI-12). Data collection techniques were carried out through questionnaires, and data analysis used descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The results of the study showed that the average score of students' learning interest in the experimental class was higher than in the control class. This was proven through the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test which showed the Asymp. Sig. value. (2-tailed) of 0.000 which is smaller than the significance level of 0.05, so H₀ is rejected and Hₐ is accepted. In addition, the results of the N-Gain analysis show an average score of 0.7013 or 70.13% which is included in the fairly effective criteria. This value indicates that there is a significant increase in student learning interest after the application of the Window Shopping method. Thus, it can be concluded that the Window Shopping method is effective in increasing learning interest because it is able to encourage active involvement, interaction, and a more interesting learning experience.
A Morphology Analysis af Word Formation Processes Affecting Stylistic Features in Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson
This study aims to analyze word-formation processes and their stylistic functions in selected poems by Emily Dickinson. The research employs a qualitative case study design. Data consisting of words and phrases containing morphological processes were collected through documentation and analyzed through identification, classification, and interpretation based on morphological and stylistic theories. The findings reveal three major word-formation processes: derivation, compounding, and inflection. Derivation emerges as the most stylistically dominant process because it produces abstraction, semantic contrast, foregrounding, and emotional intensification. Compounding strengthens imagery and semantic density, while inflection supports grammatical coherence and temporal perspective in the poems. The analysis indicates that the use of these morphological processes contributes significantly to the artistic and linguistic characteristics of Dickinson’s poetry. Furthermore, the findings highlight the relationship between linguistic form and literary expression in creating poetic effects and deeper meaning. The study demonstrates that morphology functions not only grammatically but also stylistically in constructing poetic meaning and expression. Therefore, morphological analysis provides valuable insights into how language resources are utilized to enhance the aesthetic quality and interpretive richness of poetry.
Keluarga sebagai Basis Pendidikan Kristen
The family is the first and primary institution established by God as the foundation of Christian education. Through the family, Christian faith, moral values, and character are instilled in children from an early age. This study aims to examine the role of the family as the basis of Christian education by focusing on parents as the primary educators, Christian family spirituality, faith education for children and adolescents, challenges faced by modern families, and the application of Christian parenting. The research employs a qualitative method using a library research approach by collecting and analyzing various literature sources relevant to the topic. The findings indicate that the success of Christian education within the family is greatly influenced by the active involvement of both fathers and mothers in guiding the spiritual lives of their children. Fathers serve as spiritual leaders and role models within the family, while mothers function as educators and caregivers who instill Christian values in daily life. Children also have the responsibility to honor their parents and grow in faith toward God. Furthermore, family spirituality expressed through family prayer, Bible reading, and family worship serves as an essential foundation for the spiritual growth of family members. Amid the rapid development of technology, social media, and secular culture, Christian families face various challenges that require parenting practices grounded in biblical principles. Therefore, Christ-centered families can effectively nurture a generation with strong faith, good character, and the ability to become witnesses of Christ in society.
Peran Tujuan Pendidikan sebagai Arah dan Dasar Komponen Utama Kurikulum
Curriculum is the core of the educational process, yet in practice, its structural components often operate in isolation from their overarching goals. While the curriculum drives the educational process, its practical application often suffers from a disconnect between individual components and overarching objectives. This study explores the vital function of educational goals in directing and grounding core curricular elements. Through qualitative literature-based research, data were extracted from both foundational and contemporary curriculum theories, journals, and relevant texts, followed by systematic reduction, conceptual analysis, and integration. The analysis reveals that educational goals are pivotal mechanisms not just paperwork that harmonize content choice, teaching strategies, and assessment models into a unified framework. Vaguely defined goals inevitably weaken the functionality of these dependent elements. Ultimately, this research underscores the need for educators and curriculum architects to use educational goals as a strict blueprint to bridge the divide between theoretical philosophy and classroom execution.

Studi Kritis Bahan Ajar Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam Kelas XI di MAN 1 Kota Sukabumi
This study aims to critically examine the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching materials on the topic of "The History of the Emergence of the Abbasid Caliphate" within the Islamic Cultural History (SKI) course for Class XI at MAN 1 Kota Sukabumi. This comprehensive analysis evaluates key educational elements: learning objectives, instructional materials, methods, media, and evaluation instruments. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, data were collected through observation, unstructured interviews, and systematic documentation. Data analysis was executed using content analysis, covering data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, validated through source and technique triangulation. The research findings reveal a severe methodological disconnection in the existing teaching materials: (1) learning objectives are heavily dominated by low-level cognitive domains (LOTS); (2) the material structure lacks a clear demarcation between facts, concepts, and principles; (3) critical thinking methods are absent from authentic problem-solving situations; (4) planned media remain overly generic, relying on non-credible internet resources (ilmuguru.org); and (5) evaluation instruments suffer from cognitive reductionism due to the absence of specific grids, indicators, and scoring rubrics. In conclusion, a total instructional reconstruction is urgent to achieve constructive alignment. This is proposed through the integration of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model, the utilization of specific visual-spasial media (geographical maps of underground movements and genealogical charts), and the implementation of authentic assessments oriented toward Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS).
Katarsis Pencipta pada Lirik Lagu Langit Malam Karya Chou Senka: Analisis Psikoanalisis
Song lyrics often serve as a medium for expressing the psychological experiences and emotions of their creators. One example is Langit Malam, a song written by Chou Senka that reflects various personal emotional experiences. This study aims to identify the representation of the songwriter’s psychological condition, analyze the dynamics of the id, ego, and superego, and explain the form of catharsis reflected in the lyrics of Langit Malam. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic approach. The primary data consisted of the song lyrics, while supporting data were obtained through interviews with the songwriter. Data were analyzed through collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the lyrics represent psychological conditions such as anxiety about the future, psychological pressure, loneliness, and overthinking tendencies. The psychoanalytic analysis shows interactions among the id, ego, and superego in shaping responses to personal experiences. The id is reflected in the desire to escape pressure and seek comfort, the ego in efforts to confront reality, and the superego in awareness of responsibilities and life demands. The study also finds that the songwriting process functions as a means of channeling emotional experiences. Thus, Langit Malam can be understood as a form of catharsis that allows emotional release through artistic creation. These findings show that song lyrics can be a medium for understanding the relationship between psychological experience and the creative process.
Pendidikan dan Kekuasaan dalam Lintas Peradaban: Kajian Pustaka
This article aims to analyze the dialectical relationship between education and power throughout the history of civilizations, and to explain the strategic role of education as an agent of social transformation. This research employs a literature study method (library research) by examining various academic literatures, books, and relevant scientific journals. The findings indicate that in ancient civilizations, education was elitist and designed to maintain existing power hierarchies. In Islamic civilization, education played a dual role: as a center for scientific advancement supported by rulers, and simultaneously as a tool for political legitimation. During the colonial era, education functioned as a mechanism for social control, yet paradoxically fostered nationalist consciousness among the oppressed. In the modern era, education has become a crucial state policy instrument, while simultaneously possessing the potential to critically challenge oppressive power structures. In conclusion, education inherently possesses a dual function as both a tool for power reproduction and a vehicle for social change. Therefore, educational management must be conducted inclusively, fairly, and democratically to truly empower society and build a more just and advanced civilization.
Analisis Kesesuaian dan Distribusi Level Kognitif pada Butir Soal Objektif Penilaian Sumatif Akhir Semester Bahasa Indonesia Kelas X
The requirements of the Merdeka Curriculum mandate that assessments have cognitive level alignment and distribution that are consistent with Learning Outcomes (CP) and Learning Objectives (TP). This study aims to analyze the distribution of cognitive levels and their alignment with reconstruction indicators in the objective items of the End-of-Semester Summative Assessment (PSAS) for 10th-grade Indonesian Language. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using content analysis. The data consisted of 45 PSAS items for 10th-grade Indonesian Language, developed by the Cilacap Regency Indonesian Language Teachers’ Working Group (MGMP), and collected through documentation. The analysis was conducted by classifying the test items based on the cognitive levels of the Bloom’s Taxonomy Revised by Anderson and Krathwohl and examining their alignment with the reconstruction indicators. The validity of the data was strengthened through expert judgment by two high school Indonesian language teachers. The results of the study indicate that all test items align with the established reconstruction indicators. However, the distribution of cognitive levels did not yet show a balanced proportion. The questions were dominated by the comprehension level (C2) at 42.2%, followed by recall (C1) at 28.9% and application (C3) at 22.2%. The analysis level (C4) reached only 6.7%, while the evaluation (C5) and creation (C6) levels were not found. These findings highlight the need to develop more balanced assessments to support the attainment of higher-order thinking skills in line with the requirements of the Merdeka Curriculum.
The Impact of ChatGPT on EFL University Students’ Writing Skills
Writing is an important skill for university students who study English as a Foreign Language (EFL), but it is often difficult to master in academic contexts due to linguistic and cognitive challenges. Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, for example like ChatGPT, have gained significant popularity in language learning and academic writing support. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this study analyses existing research related to the impacts of ChatGPT on writing skills of university students in the EFL context. Using the PRISMA guidelines, the study reviews eleven relevant articles published between 2023–2026 from various academic databases. The results examined that ChatGPT helps students improve different aspects of writing, such as organization, grammar accuracy, vocabulary use, coherence, and overall writing quality. It also increases students’ motivation, confidence, and ability to learn independently by providing quick, accessible, and personalized feedback during the writing process. However, the results also examined several challenges of using ChatGPT as a writing tool, such as academic dishonesty, inaccurate or misleading information, and students’ overreliance on AI tools, which may reduce critical thinking and writing autonomy.
Makna Keberagaman Budaya bagi Mahasiswa Bimbingan dan Konseling Islam dalam Interaksi Sosial di Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau
Cultural diversity is an inseparable part of social life in Indonesia, including within higher education environments. Differences in ethnicity, language, customs, and regional backgrounds can influence how students interact and adapt to campus social life. These conditions require students to develop tolerance, openness, and adaptability in order to create harmonious social relationships amid cultural diversity. This study aims to explore the meaning of cultural diversity for Islamic Guidance and Counseling students in social interactions at Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the subjective experiences of Islamic Guidance and Counseling students in interpreting cultural diversity and cross-cultural social interactions within an Islamic university setting, which has rarely been examined specifically. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of four students selected through purposive sampling based on different ethnic and regional backgrounds. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, while data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that students interpret cultural diversity as a blessing, a social identity, and a means to get to know one another and build harmonious social relationships. Students also demonstrated tolerance by respecting differences in language, culture, and background among their peers. In addition, several obstacles in social interaction were identified, particularly differences in language, dialect, and communication styles. However, students continued to maintain harmony through mutual respect, solidarity, and the use of Indonesian as a unifying language. The conclusion of this study indicates that cultural diversity has a positive meaning in shaping tolerance, openness, and harmonious social relationships within the university environment.
Spiritualitas dan Formasi Karakter Kristen
Christian Religious Education plays an important role in shaping individuals who possess not only intellectual knowledge but also a healthy spiritual life and godly character. In the midst of rapid technological advancement, globalization, and moral value shifts, the development of Christian spirituality and character formation has become increasingly essential. Christian spirituality refers to a personal and living relationship with God through Jesus Christ, while Christian character formation is the process of developing attitudes, values, and behaviors that reflect the character of Christ in daily life. This paper aims to examine the concepts of Christian spirituality and character formation through discussions on Christian character education, the spirituality of teachers and students, Christian ethics in education, integrity formation, and spiritual disciplines. The study employs a library research method by collecting and analyzing relevant sources, including the Bible, books, journals, and other academic references. The findings reveal that Christian spirituality and character are closely interconnected and cannot be separated. Christian character education, which is grounded in the Word of God, helps develop individuals who demonstrate love, honesty, humility, responsibility, and integrity. Furthermore, the spirituality of teachers and students serves as the foundation of the educational process, while Christian ethics, integrity, and spiritual disciplines play significant roles in shaping lives that are pleasing to God. Therefore, the consistent application of Christian spirituality and character formation can produce individuals who are spiritually mature, possess noble character, and are capable of being witnesses of Christ in society.
Konstruksi Model Pembelajaran Holistik-Eksperiensial: Integrasi Metode Tajribi dan Program Ngaji Rasa di Pesantren
The digital era has introduced significant challenges in the form of educational degradation, where cognitive achievements are often prioritized over the internalization of moral-spiritual values. In Indonesia, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) face serious constraints, with digital readiness levels as low as 16.4% and a curriculum dominated by classical text memorization, leading to insufficient critical thinking skills (6.2%). This study aims to construct a Holistic-Experiential learning model by integrating the Tajribi method and the Ngaji Rasa program as a strategic solution within the pesantren ecosystem. The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, utilizing content and thematic analysis for data interpretation. The findings reveal that the Tajribi method serves as a methodological foundation for experiential learning, while Ngaji Rasa acts as an affective manifestation implemented through a hidden curriculum. The construction of this model is epistemologically rooted in QS. Ash-Shaff: 2–3, which integrates ’ilm (knowledge), amal (action), and niyyah (intention). The novelty of this research lies in the inclusion of the spiritual dimension as a fourth pillar, transcending Bloom's taxonomy by forming a learning tetragonal that encompasses cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and spiritual domains. In conclusion, the integration of Tajribi and Ngaji Rasa transforms the pesantren into a "character laboratory" capable of bridging classical traditions with modernization demands without losing its spiritual identity.

Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The primary informant was an experienced Endeng-Endeng musician with deep knowledge of its cultural values and performance practices. The research was conducted in Tanjung Medan, a region where Mandailing traditions are still actively preserved. The planning phase involved needs analysis and data collection to determine content and design specifications. The development phase focused on creating a user-friendly and informative website by applying instructional design and UI/UX principles. The evaluation phase involved expert validation to assess the quality and effectiveness of the website. The results indicate that the developed website is a relevant and accessible medium for introducing and preserving Endeng-Endeng music, particularly for students and global audiences interested in Indonesian cultural heritage.
This study examines the dynamics of interreligious dialogue throughout history, both in the global sphere and within the Indonesian context. Interfaith dialogue is regarded as an essential means of fostering harmony, preventing conflict, and strengthening cross-faith understanding. The research traces the development of dialogue from the Second Vatican Council, the efforts of the Anglican Church, initiatives by international Islamic organizations, to Indonesia’s own experiences, which have been marked by interreligious tensions, particularly during the New Order era and the Maluku conflicts. The findings indicate that interreligious dialogue takes place not only at the theological level but also in everyday life, social action, ethical engagement, and even within intra-faith contexts. Supporting factors include openness, commitment, and social concern, while obstacles encompass identity politics, discrimination, and issues of religious propagation. This study affirms that interreligious dialogue is not merely an ultimate goal but an essential religious way of life for the realization of genuine harmony and social justice in multicultural societies.
Pemanfaatan Artificial Intelligence (AI) untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Peserta Didik pada Mata Pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam
The rapid development of digital technology has brought significant changes to the field of education, including Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning. One of the technologies that has experienced substantial growth is Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study aims to examine the utilization of AI in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education subjects. The research employed a qualitative approach through a literature review of various journals, scientific articles, and other credible sources related to AI and IRE learning. The findings indicate that the use of AI can assist students in understanding learning materials more interactively, while also improving their analytical abilities, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking competencies. Furthermore, AI provides teachers with greater flexibility in delivering learning materials through innovative instructional methods. Nevertheless, the implementation of AI requires proper supervision to prevent students from becoming overly dependent on technology and to ensure that they continue to develop independent thinking skills. Therefore, the integration of AI in Islamic Religious Education can serve as an effective educational innovation for fostering students’ critical thinking abilities
Speech Delay Problem on Early Childhood Children in Paser Regency: A Neurolinguistics Analysis
This study aims to analyze speech delay phenomena among early childhood children in Paser Regency through a neurolinguistic perspective, focusing on the interaction between neural mechanisms, linguistic performance, and environmental influences. This study employed a qualitative case study design grounded in a neurolinguistic framework. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving children aged 3–6 years, their parents, and teachers. The data were analyzed using thematic and interpretative techniques, integrating linguistic domains (phonological, lexical, syntactic, and pragmatic) with neurolinguistic theory. The findings revealed that speech delay manifests as a multidimensional condition characterized by disruptions across phonological (articulation and phoneme substitution), lexical (limited vocabulary and retrieval difficulties), syntactic (telegraphic speech and grammatical omission), and pragmatic (impaired interaction and communication) domains. These linguistic deficits are closely associated with neurocognitive limitations, particularly in language-related brain regions and processing systems. Additionally, environmental factors—such as limited language input, low parental engagement, and excessive passive media exposure—significantly exacerbate the condition. The study also identifies challenges in early English language exposure, which may create cognitive overload when first language development is incomplete. In conclusion, speech delay should be understood as the result of dynamic interactions between neurolinguistic and environmental factors. Effective intervention requires an integrative approach combining early diagnosis, enriched linguistic input, and adaptive educational strategies. The study contributes to both theoretical development in neurolinguistics and practical implications for inclusive English language education.

Ujaran Satir atau Penghinaan? Analisis Linguistik Forensik terhadap Frasa “Prabodoh Subiantotol” dalam Diskursus Politik Indonesia
This study analyzes the linguistic construction, semantic meaning, pragmatic function, and forensic implications of the phrase “Prabodoh Subiantotol” in Indonesian political discourse. The issue is important because digital political speech often blurs the boundary between democratic criticism, political satire, and insult. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a forensic linguistics perspective. Data were collected from audiovisual documentation, online news reports, and public digital responses that discussed the phrase. The analysis focuses on lexical modification, evaluative meaning, speech act function, implied meaning, communicative context, and possible social-legal interpretation. The findings show that the phrase is formed through name modification and wordplay by inserting negative lexical elements into a personal name. Semantically, the elements “bodoh” and “tolol” create a derogatory evaluation. Pragmatically, the utterance functions as political criticism, yet it also targets personal identity. The study concludes that the phrase occupies a grey area between political satire and insult. The study contributes a contextual model for assessing controversial digital utterances
Analisis Kesalahaan Penggunaan Kalimat Efektif dalam Novel “Dilan, Dia adalah Dilanku Tahun 1990” Karya “Pidi Baiq”
This study aims to identify, classify, and analyze errors in the use of effective sentences in the novel Dilan: Dia adalah Dilanku Tahun 1990 by Pidi Baiq. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through reading and note-taking techniques. The data source was the novel Dilan: Dia adalah Dilanku Tahun 1990, while data analysis involved the stages of data collection, classification, analysis, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings identified 15 errors related to the use of effective sentences, including word redundancy, subject repetition, excessive use of emphasis markers, ineffective sentence structures, and ambiguous expressions. Word redundancy emerged as the most dominant error, characterized by unnecessary repetition and excessive language elements that reduced sentence economy. Subject repetition and excessive emphasis markers also decreased sentence efficiency and clarity, while ineffective structures and ambiguous wording affected the precision of meaning. These findings indicate that several sentences in the novel do not fully meet the principles of effective writing, particularly regarding economy, clarity, and accuracy. However, these linguistic features also contribute to the novel’s distinctive narrative style, characterization, and communicative atmosphere. This study provides valuable insights into the application of effective sentence principles in literary works and is expected to serve as a reference for language studies, literary criticism, and editing practices.
Mengkaji Ritual Suin Re'u Masyarakat Oepikan Kabupaten Malaka, Timor dan Ketahanan Identitas Budaya di tengah Perjumpaan Iman
This study examines the tradition of respecting Suin Re'u (a sacred dagger) among the Oepikan people, Malaka Regency, Timor, and the efforts to maintain cultural identity amidst the encounter of faith. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of eight informants consisting of traditional leaders, community leaders, and parish priests. The research findings indicate that respect for Suin Re'u functions as a cultural heritage that strengthens social solidarity, maintains identity, and builds communal spirituality. However, the study also identifies challenges in the form of dualism in the experience of faith, and the confusion of the younger generation in understanding the relationship between tradition and Church teachings, as well as the potential for syncretism. From the perspective of inculturation theology, the noble values ​​contained in this tradition such as respect for ancestors, communal solidarity, and concern for the environment as a cultural identity can be integrated with the Catholic faith without reducing the purity of the teachings. This study concludes that the Suin Re'u tradition, if properly understood, can serve as a means of strengthening the cultural identity of the Oepikan-Timor community and a contextual expression of the Catholic faith, provided that ongoing pastoral and catechetical support and communication between traditional and local religious leaders are considered, helping the congregation distinguish between cultural respect and religious worship.
Penerapan Metode Ceramah dan Partisipasi Belajar Siswa dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di MA Bahrul Ulum
This study aims to analyze the implementation of conventional teaching strategies (lecture method) and students’ learning participation in Indonesian language learning at MA Bahrul Ulum. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The research subjects consisted of two Indonesian language teachers and 42 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman. The findings revealed that students’ learning participation was dominated by listening and note-taking activities, while questioning, answering questions, and summarizing activities remained limited. Analysis based on the student engagement theory and the ICAP Framework indicated that students’ engagement was still at the levels of passive engagement and active engagement and had not yet reached constructive engagement. The use of the ICAP Framework in this study was intended to provide a more detailed description of the quality of students’ engagement during the learning process. This study contributes by mapping students’ learning participation in Indonesian language learning based on the level of engagement demonstrated by students. The study concludes that the lecture method is capable of facilitating the delivery of learning materials; however, it has not been optimal in encouraging verbal participation and deeper cognitive engagement among students. The findings may serve as a reference for Indonesian language teachers in designing learning activities that promote greater student engagement throughout the learning process.
