Beyond Digital Access: Generative Artificial Intelligence and Digital Literacy Predict Vocational Students’ Academic Writing
This study examined the partial and simultaneous statistical effects of digital literacy and responsible generative artificial intelligence utilization on vocational students’ academic writing skills. A quantitative explanatory-correlational approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed. The sample comprised 100 students from five vocational study programs selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using two 10-item Likert questionnaires measuring digital literacy and generative artificial intelligence utilization, together with a source-based academic essay performance test assessed using an analytic rubric. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were applied. Digital literacy had a positive and significant statistical effect on academic writing skills (B = 6.413; β = 0.334; p < 0.001). Generative artificial intelligence utilization also had a positive and significant effect and provided a stronger relative contribution (B = 9.097; β = 0.494; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both predictors produced F(2,97) = 42.013; p < 0.001 and explained 46.4% of the variance. These findings indicated that vocational students’ academic writing development required the integration of digital literacy and critical, ethical, and responsible artificial intelligence practices in writing instruction and institutional policy.

Integrating GeoGebra with Interactive Flat Panels: The Mediating Role of Student Engagement in Spatial Geometry Learning Outcomes
Solid geometry learning in elementary schools remains challenging because its abstract nature makes three-dimensional objects difficult to visualize. This study examined the effect of GeoGebra-Interactive Flat Panel (GeoGebra-IFP) integration on solid geometry learning outcomes, with Student Engagement as a mediating variable. A quantitative one-group pretest-posttest design involved 41 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through a UTAUT2-based GeoGebra-IFP integration questionnaire, a Student Engagement questionnaire covering behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and agentic engagement, a learning achievement test, and classroom implementation observation sheets. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, and path-analysis-based mediation with bootstrapping. The results showed that GeoGebra-IFP integration positively affected learning outcomes and Student Engagement. Student Engagement also positively affected learning outcomes and significantly mediated the relationship between GeoGebra-IFP integration and solid geometry learning outcomes. These findings indicate that interactive learning technology improves achievement both directly and indirectly by strengthening students’ engagement during instruction. Therefore, GeoGebra-IFP can be considered an innovative instructional medium for improving the quality of solid geometry learning in elementary schools.

THE EFFECT OF ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT ON FACULTY PERFORMANCE, WITH ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE (A Study of Tenured Faculty at Muhammadiyah University of Jambi)
The acceleration of internationalization in Indonesian higher education to support the Golden Indonesia Vision 2045 has triggered a phenomenon gap characterized by high administrative workloads that threaten faculty productivity. This study aims to analyze the influence of Adaptive Leadership and Human Resource (HR) Development on Faculty Performance at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jambi (UM Jambi), utilizing Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) as an intervening variable. Employing a quantitative approach, primary data were collected via Likert-scale questionnaires administered to all 73 full-time faculty members through census sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 3.0 alongside Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA). The hypothesis testing results revealed that all direct paths had positive and significant effects (<!-- [if gte msEquation 12]><m:oMath><m:r>p</m:r><m:r><0.05</m:r></m:oMath><![endif]--> <!-- [if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600" o:spt="75" o:preferrelative="t" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" filled="f" stroked="f"> <v:stroke joinstyle="miter"/> <v:formulas> <v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"/> <v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"/> <v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"/> <v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"/> <v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"/> <v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"/> </v:formulas> <v:path o:extrusionok="f" gradientshapeok="t" o:connecttype="rect"/> <o:lock v:ext="edit" aspectratio="t"/> </v:shapetype><v:shape id="_x0000_i1025" type="#_x0000_t75" style='width:37.5pt; height:11.5pt'> <v:imagedata src="file:///C:/Users/acer/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png" o:title="" chromakey="white"/> </v:shape><![endif]--> ).

THE EFFECT OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE AND COMPETENCE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE, MEDIATED BY INTRINSIC MOTIVATION, AMONG EMPLOYEES IN THE GENERAL AFFAIRS DIVISION OF THE MADIUN CITY REGIONAL SECRETARIAT
This study aims to analyze the influence of work-life balance and competence on employee performance, with intrinsic motivation serving as a mediating variable, among employees of the General Affairs Division of the Regional Secretariat of Madiun City. The increasing complexity of administrative responsibilities, the growing implementation of technology in public services, and the need to maintain a balance between work and personal life require employees to possess adequate competencies and high intrinsic motivation to achieve optimal performance. However, several issues remain, including work-life imbalance, uneven employee competencies, and relatively low intrinsic motivation, all of which may affect employee performance. This study employed a quantitative approach using an explanatory research design. The population consisted of all employees of the General Affairs Division of the Regional Secretariat of Madiun City. A census sampling technique was applied, in which all members of the population were included as research respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine both the direct and indirect relationships among the research variables. The results indicate that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on both employee performance and intrinsic motivation. Competence has a positive and significant effect on intrinsic motivation but does not have a significant direct effect on employee performance. Intrinsic motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, intrinsic motivation significantly mediates the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance through partial mediation, and fully mediates the relationship between competence and employee performance through full mediation. These findings suggest that improving employee performance depends not only on enhancing competence and maintaining work-life balance but also on strengthening employees' intrinsic motivation.

Improving Science Learning Outcomes on Energy and its Changes through Audio Visual Media Assisted Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model for Fourth-Grade Elementary School Students
This research was motivated by the low learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo in Natural Sciences (IPA), specifically on Energy and Its Changes material. This issue was driven by the abstract nature of the topic and a teacher-centered learning environment that lacked varied learning media. This study aimed to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo through the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by audio-visual media. The research design employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Hopkins model, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle encompassed four major phases: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The subjects of this research were all 18 fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo, Gorontalo Regency, during the 2025/2026 academic year, consisting of 12 male and 6 female students. Data collection techniques included observation of teacher and student activities, multiple-choice written evaluation tests, and classroom documentation. The gathered data were analyzed descriptively using percentage techniques. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in student learning outcomes across the cycles. In the pre-action baseline condition, the classical mastery reached only 34% (6 students) meeting the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM 70). Following the implementation of Cycle I, the student learning mastery percentage increased slightly to 39% (7 students), which still fell short of the targeted classical success indicator. Reflective improvements were made in Cycle II by enhancing the interactivity of audio-visual media and group engagement. The evaluation in Cycle II revealed a substantial surge in classical mastery, reaching 83% (15 students) who successfully met the Learning Objectives Achievement Criteria (KKTP). The mastery growth from Cycle I to Cycle II was recorded at 44%. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by audio-visual media is highly effective in improving science learning outcomes on Energy and Its Changes for fourth-grade students at SDN 7 Dungaliyo, Gorontalo Regency.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NOKESO TEETH-MODIFYING TRADITION AMONG THE KAILI COMMUNITY IN PELAWA BARU VILLAGE
This study aims to determine the development of the Nokeso tooth-cutting tradition among the Kaili people in Pelawa Baru Village and to identify the factors influencing changes in its practice. This study employs a qualitative research method with a historical-descriptive approach. The informants in this study consist of the village head, customary leaders, community leaders, and community members who are knowledgeable about and have been involved in the execution of the Nokeso tradition. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the research results regarding the development of the Nokeso tooth-cutting tradition among the Kaili people in Pelawa Baru Village, the researcher concludes that the Nokeso tradition is a cultural heritage of the Kaili community that is still recognized and respected today as part of their cultural identity. However, throughout its development, the tradition has undergone changes marked by a decline in frequency, the simplification of customary procession stages, reduced community involvement, and a diminishing number of traditional leaders or sando who fully comprehend the complete procedures. These changes are influenced by shifts in the community's way of life, advancements in education and technology, evolving religious understanding, a shortage of practicing sando, and low youth engagement in preserving the tradition. Nevertheless, the community still views the Nokeso tradition as a symbol of maturity, respect for tradition, and a cultural heritage possessing values of culture, togetherness, responsibility, respect for parents, and cultural preservation that need to be maintained amidst modern developments

Improving the Critical Thinking Skills of Grade III Students through Project-Based Learning in Natural and Social Sciences Subjects at State Elementary School 030/VIII Rimbo Bujang, Tebo
This research was motivated by the low critical thinking ability of grade III students in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning at SD Negeri 030/VIII Rimbo Bujang, Tebo, which was shown by the initial completeness of 31.58% or six out of nineteen students. The research aims to describe the application of project-based learning, analyze the improvement of critical thinking skills, and assess the achievement of indicators of action success. The research uses the Kemmis and McTaggart model, Class Action Research, which is carried out in two cycles through the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation of learning implementation, critical thinking ability tests, project assessments, documentation, and field notes; Furthermore, it was analyzed descriptively, quantitatively, and qualitatively. The results showed that the average learning implementation increased from 77.5% in the first cycle in the good category to 92.5% in the second cycle in the very good category. The average score of critical thinking increased from 65.47 to 78.05, while classical completeness increased from 36.84% to 57.89%. Project-based learning increases student participation in observing, discussing, drafting products, presenting findings, and drawing conclusions. It was concluded that project-based learning is effective in improving the quality of the learning process and critical thinking skills, but classical completeness of at least 85% has not been achieved, so a follow-up cycle is needed. The next improvement needs to prioritize individual mentoring, strengthening evidence-based reasons, and formative assessments for students who have not been completed optimally.

Integration of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum with the National Curriculum in Primary Schools
The development of 21st-century education demands the integration of national education standards with global competencies. Although the integration of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum with the National Curriculum has been implemented in several elementary schools in Indonesia, existing research is still partial and has not presented a comprehensive synthesis of the form of integration, advantages, disadvantages, and recommendations for its implementation. This study aims to describe the form of integration of the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum with the National Curriculum in elementary schools and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of its implementation based on the results of previous research. The study used the Systematic Literature Review method with reference to the PRISMA guidelines. Data sources came from scientific articles obtained through the Scopus and Semantic Scholar databases with a publication range of 2022-2026. Of the 602 identified, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Data analysis was conducted descriptively-thematically and supported by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software. The results showed that curriculum integration was carried out through curriculum mapping, alignment of learning outcomes, material integration, bilingual learning, and adjustments to the assessment system. The implementation of this integration contributes to improving students' critical thinking skills, literacy, numeracy, English language proficiency, and global competency without neglecting national values. However, its implementation still faces challenges in the form of limited teacher competency, learning suggestions, dual curriculum management, and learning time allocation. This study contributes in the form of a comprehensive synthesis of the forms, benefits, challenges, and recommendations for implementing the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Curriculum Integration with the National Curriculum as a reference for schools, educators, researchers, and policymakers in developing curriculum in elementary school.

Analysis of the Implementation of Video-Based Learning Media on Student Learning Outcomes in the Grade X History Subject at SMA Labschool
This study reviews the results of quantitative experimental research conducted by Mikhael Oktavian Betalino (History Education Study Program, Tadulako University, 2026) regarding the influence of video-based learning media on the understanding levels of Grade X students at SMA Labschool in the subject of History, specifically concerning the topic of the arrival of Islam in Indonesia. The study employed a pretest-posttest control group design involving two classes selected via purposive sampling: one class was taught using video media (experimental group), while the other was taught using conventional methods (control group). Data analysis using SPSS revealed that the experimental group's mean posttest score (77.31) was higher than that of the control group (65.77); a two-tailed t-test yielded a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating the rejection of the null hypothesis and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. However, the N-Gain test showed that the magnitude of the improvement in student understanding remained low, at 20.11%. These findings indicate that video-based audiovisual media had a statistically significant effect on student understanding; however, the impact was not yet optimal, suggesting a need for better content planning, longer study duration, and larger sample sizes in future research. This article presents a narrative review of these findings and discusses their practical implications for teachers and schools.

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATION ON PATIENT LOYALTY, WITH SERVICE QUALITY AND PATIENT SATISFACTION AS MEDIATING VARIABLES (A Study of Patients at the Dental and Oral Health Clinic of the Poncol Community Health Center in Magetan Regency)
This study aims to analyze the effect of Total Quality Management (TQM) implementation on patient loyalty with service quality and patient satisfaction as mediating variables at the Dental and Oral Polyclinic of Poncol Health Center, Magetan Regency. This research is motivated by the phenomenon of fluctuating patient revisit rates that showed a declining trend throughout 2025, indicating problems in maintaining patient loyalty. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all patients who made revisit visits to the Dental and Oral Polyclinic of Poncol Health Center during the period January-December 2025, totaling 441 people. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula with a 5% margin of error, resulting in 137 respondents. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 4.1.6.6 software. The results showed that: (1) TQM has no direct effect on patient loyalty; (2) TQM has a positive and significant effect on service quality; (3) TQM has a positive and significant effect on patient satisfaction; (4) service quality has a positive and significant effect on patient loyalty; (5) patient satisfaction has no significant effect on patient loyalty; (6) service quality is proven to mediate the effect of TQM on patient loyalty; and (7) patient satisfaction is not proven to mediate the effect of TQM on patient loyalty. These findings reinforce TQM theory (Deming, 1986) and SERVQUAL theory (Parasuraman et al., 1988) which emphasize the importance of quality management implementation in improving service quality, which ultimately can shape patient loyalty. Practically, health center management is advised to focus efforts on improving service quality, particularly on aspects of environmental comfort, service speed, and medical staff interaction with patients, as well as ensuring that every system improvement can be applied to real services that are directly felt by patients.
