This study aims to determine the effect of interactive learning using Quizizz videos and mind mapping techniques on the understanding of Social Sciences (IPS) material on the theme of Indonesian Stories at MI Raden Rahmat Wonokromo Surabaya. Interactive learning is an approach that involves students engaging with digital media and utilizing fun visual strategies. Quizizz is an interactive digital quiz platform, and mind mapping is a visual note-taking technique that is believed to improve students' understanding of narrative and conceptual materials. The research method used is quantitative with an associative approach. The research sample was all sixth-grade students who were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that both Quizizz videos and mind mapping had a significant effect, partially and simultaneously, on students' understanding. The R² value of 0.975 indicates that 97.5% of the understanding of IPS material is influenced by these two variables. Thus, the integration of technology and visual strategies has proven effective in improving the quality of IPS learning in madrasah.

Psychology of Human Development from an Islamic Perspective

Asmadi Asmadi — 2026-01-27

This study examines human development from an Islamic perspective by employing a qualitative literature review approach to synthesize classical and contemporary scholarly discussions. Human development is understood not merely as a biological or psychological process, but as a holistic and purposeful progression encompassing physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. In contrast to dominant Western developmental theories that often prioritize empirical and value-neutral explanations, Islamic thought conceptualizes development as a morally oriented journey guided by divine purpose and ethical responsibility. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journals, academic books, and authoritative Islamic scholarship relevant to psychology, human development, and religious studies. The selected literature was analysed using qualitative content analysis to identify recurring themes, conceptual frameworks, and interpretative differences among scholars. The findings indicate that Islamic perspectives emphasize the integration of bodily growth, intellectual maturity, and spiritual consciousness, with development evaluated not solely by age but by readiness, moral accountability, and social responsibility. Human development is framed as a continuous process directed toward the formation of ethically grounded individuals capable of fulfilling their roles within society. This study further reveals that Islamic developmental thought highlights normative objectives such as moral discipline, self-awareness, and stewardship, which are often underexplored in conventional psychological models. By articulating these dimensions, the study contributes to the enrichment of developmental psychology through a value-based and holistic framework. The findings offer theoretical insights that may inform future research, as well as practical implications for education, counselling, and human development programs that seek to integrate psychological growth with ethical and spiritual values.

The Legacy of ibn Sina's Thought on the Development of Islamic Psychology: A Historical Literature Review

Rina Atmasari — 2026-01-28

This study examines the legacy of Ibn Sina’s psychological thought and its significance for the development of Islamic psychology through a historical philosophical literature review. As one of the most influential Muslim philosophers of the Islamic Golden Age, Ibn Sina developed a comprehensive theory of the soul (al-nafs) that integrates intellectual, emotional, and moral dimensions of human existence. Drawing primarily on his major works, including Kitab al-Nafs, Al-Shifa’, and Al-Najat, this research analyzes how his conceptualization of the vegetative, sensitive, and rational aspects of the soul provides a holistic framework for understanding human psychology. The study employs thematic content analysis to identify key psychological concepts in Ibn Sina’s writings and to examine their reinterpretation in contemporary scholarship on Islamic psychology. The findings indicate that Ibn Sina’s thought offers an alternative epistemological foundation to reductionist psychological paradigms by emphasizing the immaterial nature of consciousness, the central role of reason, and the ethical orientation of mental life. At the same time, the study highlights the need for critical engagement with his ideas to avoid anachronistic or normative applications in modern psychological practice. Overall, the research demonstrates that Ibn Sina’s psychological framework remains theoretically relevant for contemporary Islamic psychology, particularly in efforts to develop culturally grounded and ethically sensitive approaches to mental health and human development. This study contributes to the ongoing reconstruction of Islamic psychology by clarifying the philosophical roots of the discipline and by positioning Ibn Sina’s legacy as a valuable intellectual resource for future theoretical and interdisciplinary research.

The implementation of this strategy is able to strengthen the Village Completed Poverty program by providing business capital assistance, skills training, the provision of productive tools, and facilitation of education and basic infrastructure. The research findings show a significant decrease in the number of extremely poor families in the target villages and an increase in the economic independence of the beneficiary community. The conclusion of this study is that the success of economic empowerment and extreme poverty alleviation in Sragen Regency is very much determined by the optimization of business communication strategies that build trust, participation, and synergy between stakeholders.

Golkar Party's Strategy in Winning the 2019 Legislative Elections: Case Study

Abdul Kadir Jailani — 2026-02-02

This study aims to analyze the Golkar Party's strategy in winning the 2019 Legislative Election (Case Study: Golkar Party of South Sulawesi Province). The method used is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The data analysis technique is through data reduction, data presentation and verification or drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that planning plays an important role in the scope because it determines and at the same time provides direction to the goals to be achieved. Meanwhile, the implementation of the strategy, namely the organization must set annual targets, create policies, motivate legislative candidates, and allocate resources can be implemented. So that in the evaluation can review the external and internal factors that emerged in the first stage, measure performance and take corrective actions or improvements when discrepancies arise later. The supporting factors of the Golkar party strategy are the influential and widely known regional leaders in South Sulawesi so that they can increase the attractiveness of voters to the party and prepare the legislative candidates who are prepared to be the best cadres who are encouraged, but the inhibiting factor is that the coordination between the legislative candidates is not good so that it causes internal divisions so that the target votes are almost the same as the votes being fought over so that it does not result in an increase in votes, apart from that because of the strength or popularity of competing parties and other candidates who may be more attractive to voters.

The use of Dynamic Panel Data to Estimate the Profitability of Conventional Banks

Purwanto Widodo — 2026-02-02

This study aims to analyze internal and macroeconomic factors that affect the profitability of conventional banks in Indonesia, using Return on Assets (ROA) and Net Interest Margin (NIM) proxy. Previous research has often ignored the issue of endogeny and persistence of profitability. Using dynamic panel data from 37 conventional banks during the period 2012–2024, this study applied the Two-Step System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) method. The results confirm the existence of significant persistence of profitability. It was found that independent factors had different (divergent) impacts on ROA and NIM. Specifically: The Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (LDR) has a positive impact on ROA but negative on NIM. Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) have a negative impact on ROA, but surprisingly positive on NIM. Macro factors (GDP, Inflation, Interest Rates) also show a complex duality of impacts. Banks are advised to maintain optimal LDRs while increasing low-cost Third-Party Funds (DPK) and diversifying non-interest income. Regulators are encouraged to analyze NIM as the core of intermediation efficiency, not just ROA.

Igniting the Influence of Debt to Equity Ratio and Return on Assets on Company Value In Banking Companies

Hadi Purnomo — 2026-02-02

This study aims to identify and empirically examine the effect of the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Return on Assets (ROA) on firm value in Islamic Commercial Banks. The research adopts a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the financial statements of Islamic Commercial Banks consistently published during the 2020–2024 period on the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The population consists of 12 Islamic Commercial Banks listed on the exchange, from which 8 banks were selected as samples using a purposive sampling technique. The independent variables in this study are the Debt to Equity Ratio and Return on Assets, while firm value serves as the dependent variable. Data were collected through observation and documentation, then analyzed using SPSS version 26. The analytical techniques applied include validity and reliability tests, classical assumption testing, the coefficient of determination, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that both the Debt to Equity Ratio and Return on Assets have a partial effect on firm value. Furthermore, the simultaneous test results show that DER and ROA jointly have a significant effect on the firm value of Islamic Commercial Banks. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the development of Islamic financial studies and provide empirical insights into the factors influencing firm value in Islamic banking, as well as serve as a reference for future research by incorporating additional relevant variables.

Strategies for Improving Food Security in Remote and Outermost Island Areas

Jubei Levianto — 2026-02-02

Food security in remote and outermost islands is an increasingly urgent strategic issue in the context of sustainable development in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the challenges, strategies, and policy implications of food security in these regions using a literature review method. A total of 21 scholarly articles and policy documents (2021–2025) were critically reviewed based on the FAO’s five-pillar framework: availability, access, utilization, stability, and sustainability/agency. Findings reveal that limited local production, high food distribution costs, dietary shifts from traditional foods to low-nutrition imports, climate vulnerability, and low community participation are the main drivers of food insecurity. The latest FSVA 2025 data indicates national improvement, with food-vulnerable areas reduced from 92 districts (2024) to 81 (2025). The Food Security Index (IKP 2024) also highlights persistent vulnerability pockets, particularly in small and outermost islands. In response, the National Food Agency (NFA) has strengthened the Diverse, Nutritious, Balanced, and Safe Food Program (B2SA) in 809 locations and accelerated the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program in 3T areas such as Morotai and Nias Selatan. These initiatives prioritize the use of local food resources (fish, maize, horticultural products) and the establishment of MBG kitchens that comply with nutrition and food safety standards. The most relevant strategies for the Indonesian context include local food diversification (sago, maize, cassava, fish, moringa), agroforestry, blue food governance, strengthening local institutions, and integrating national programs such as the sea toll and MBG

Halal Food Supply Chain Management, For Small And Medium Enterprises Food & Beverages

Lailan Tawila Berampu — 2026-02-03

This study aims to analyze the influence of Halal Food Supply Chain Management (HFSCM) on the competitive advantage of Food & Beverages MSMEs fostered by Pekanbaru SOE Houses. The background of the research is based on the low level of halal certification and the lack of optimal implementation of halal supply chains in the culinary MSME sector, even though Indonesia has great potential in the halal industry. The study used a quantitative approach with the SEM-PLS method and involved 130 active MSME respondents. HFSCM is measured through six dimensions: halal raw material, halal process, halal packaging, halal warehousing, halal transportation, and halal distribution. Competitive advantage is measured through product quality, innovation, delivery accuracy, service, and differentiation. The results of the study show that the entire hypothesis is accepted. HFSCM has been proven to have a positive and significant influence on the competitive advantage of MSMEs. Supplier Partnership is the most dominant factor in increasing competitiveness, while Human Development is the strongest predictor of HFSCM. The R² value of 74.3% in the competitive advantage variable and 69.2% in HFSCM indicates the high predictive power of the model. This study confirms that the implementation of a halal supply chain as a whole increases consumer confidence, operational quality, and the competitive position of MSMEs. These findings make a practical contribution to the development of MSMEs, especially in strengthening human resource competencies, supplier partnerships, and digital literacy to support the sustainable implementation of HFSCM.
