Recruitment and Retention Strategies for Gifted Students from Diverse Ethnic, Cultural, and Linguistic Backgrounds: A Multicultural Literature Review from the Perspective of James A. Banks
type: item
description: This study explores the recruitment and retention strategies for gifted students from diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds, as outlined by Donna Y. Ford in the book Multicultural Education: Issues and Perspectives, edited by James A. Banks and Cherry A. McGee Banks. The objective of this research is to evaluate fair and inclusive approaches in identifying and retaining students from historically underrepresented groups in gifted education programs. Employing a library research method and content analysis, this study reveals three main findings: (1) key recruitment barriers include unequal access to quality education, culturally biased assessment standards, and a lack of multicultural training for educators; (2) recruitment strategies must be systematic, inclusive, and culturally responsive; and (3) retention strategies require the implementation of multicultural education, supportive learning environments, and curriculum development that emphasizes diversity and equity. These findings highlight the necessity of integrated efforts among schools, educators, and policy makers to establish a gifted education system that is equitable and inclusive for all students.

Supporting Factors for Student Compliance in Islamic Boarding Schools
type: item
description: Students' compliance with discipline is an important indicator of the success of character education in Islamic boarding schools, but the challenge of obedience arises when adolescent students who have a desire for freedom must adapt to the strict rules of the Islamic boarding school. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that support the compliance of students in Islamic boarding schools through psychological, social, and institutional perspectives. The research method uses literature studies by collecting and studying various relevant literature in the form of journal articles, books, and research reports related to student compliance and pesantren education. The analysis was carried out by grouping information based on key themes and identifying patterns of relationships between factors. The results of the study show three categories of factors supporting student compliance: (1) internal factors including self-control, social support, emotional intelligence, self-adjustment, and religiosity that form the psychological foundation of students; (2) external factors include peer influence and the role of ustadz/kyai as authority figures who provide examples; (3) institutional factors in the form of pesantren education methods which include uswah hasanah, discipline, habituation, and advice that form a systematic habitus of obedience. These three factors interact with each other and strengthen in forming holistic and sustainable student compliance. Research recommendations include the development of self-control and emotional intelligence training programs, the creation of a supportive environment through a structured mentoring system, the strengthening of ustadz pedagogical competence, and the innovation of educational methods that are adaptive but still maintain the traditional values of pesantren to optimize the formation of the character of students who are obedient, independent, and have noble character.

Implementation of Canva-Based Technology Learning to Improve Student Activeness at SDIT Cendekia Purwakarta
type: item
description: The low activity of students in elementary school is often identified by the lack of active participation, such as students who are passive in listening, reluctant to ask questions, discuss, or do class assignments. This is due to teacher-centered learning methods, abstract/boring materials, and psychological factors such as fear of mistakes and lack of confidence that reduce motivation and focus on learning. This study aims to describe the application of Canva technology-based learning in increasing student activity at SDIT Cendekia Purwakarta. The researcher uses a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation methods of learning activities. The results showed that the use of Canva-based learning media significantly increased student activity characterized by increased interaction, participation in discussions, and motivation to learn. Canva Media has proven to be an engaging and interactive learning tool. The conclusion of the study is that the application of Canva technology-based learning can be used as an innovative alternative to improve the quality of learning in elementary schools.

The Application of Inclusive Education Services in Shaping The Character of Students
type: item
description: Inclusive education is one of the educational approaches that guarantees the learning rights of all students, including children with special needs (ABK). However, in practice, the implementation of inclusive education services in primary schools still faces various challenges, especially limited human resources, and understanding of school residents. This study aims to describe the application of inclusive education services in shaping the character of regular students in interacting with students with special needs. The research uses a qualitative research paradigm with a case study approach. The data collection method was carried out through non-participatory observation, structured interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis is carried out in the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn, and supported by triangulation of sources and techniques to ensure the validity of the data. The results of the study show that (1) inclusive education services are implemented through the combination of students with special needs and regular students in one class, accompanied by material modification, learning differentiation, use of visual media, and group learning with peer assistance; (2) The implementation of these services has a positive impact on the development of students' character, especially empathy, tolerance, cooperation, social concern, and mutual respect; (3) The implementation of inclusion still faces obstacles in the form of limited special assistant teachers, minimal support facilities, and gaps in abilities between students. This study concludes that the implementation of inclusive education services can form a positive character of students.

Students' Experience in Facing the TOAFL Test: An Analysis of Learning Strategies, Anxiety, and Motivation in Arabic Learning
type: item
description: Arabic language proficiency is a strategic academic competency in Islamic universities, particularly in supporting the understanding of Islamic literature, academic activities, and the development of knowledge. This study aims to analyze students' experiences in taking the Test of Arabic as a Foreign Language (TOAFL), focusing on learning strategies, anxiety, motivation, challenges, and perceptions of the test format. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews involving 30 undergraduate students from various semesters who had taken the TOAFL. The results showed that the most effective learning strategy reported by students was regular practice focused on TOAFL question types, particularly the listening and reading sections. Most students experienced anxiety before and during the exam, primarily due to time pressure and question difficulty. However, this anxiety can be reduced through adequate preparation and support from the learning environment. A combination of internal factors, such as personal interest, and external factors, including academic requirements and graduation eligibility, fostered students' learning motivation. The study concluded that the interaction between language proficiency, learning strategies, psychological factors, and learning support systems influenced students' success in the TOAFL.

The Dichotomy of Science in the Perspective of History and the Views of Classical Scholars
type: item
description: This study examines the phenomenon of the dichotomy of knowledge in Islamic civilization, with a primary focus on the epistemological perspective of Al-Ghazali. In the historical development of Islam, knowledge was initially perceived as an integrated unity between religious and rational dimensions; however, external influences and the process of Western colonization led to the separation between religious sciences and secular sciences. This study aims to explain the historical roots of the knowledge dichotomy, to reexamine Al-Ghazali’s views on the integration of revelation and reason, and to analyze the impact of this dichotomy on contemporary Islamic education systems. The research employs a library research method with qualitative analysis of Al-Ghazali’s classical works and modern scholarly literature. The findings indicate that the accusation against Al-Ghazali as the initiator of the knowledge dichotomy is not entirely well-founded; rather, he emphasized the importance of integrating rational knowledge and revelation for the benefit of the Muslim community. This study also identifies ideas and models of integration between religious knowledge and science that are relevant in the modern era and formulates a new epistemological paradigm based on Al-Ghazali’s thought to bridge the crisis of knowledge dualism in contemporary Islamic education.

Identity at Your Fingertips: The Erosion of Sundanese Culture in the Unstoppable Flow of Digitalization
type: item
description: Digitalization has become a transformative force that has fundamentally changed the social, cultural, and educational patterns of modern society. In Indonesia, particularly among the Sundanese people, the massive wave of digitalization poses a serious challenge in the form of erosion of local cultural identity due to the dominance of a homogeneous and instant global culture. This phenomenon has a significant impact on the younger generation who grow up in a digital ecosystem and are potentially experiencing cultural identity disorientation. This study aims to analyze digitalization as an accelerating factor in the erosion of Sundanese cultural identity and to examine the strategic role of education in preserving and revitalizing this cultural identity in the digital age. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a library research study through the analysis of various scientific sources, educational policy documents, and statistical data related to digitalization and culture. The results of the study show that the high penetration of the internet and the dominance of global digital culture accelerate the erosion of the Sundanese language, values of collectivism, and local wisdom among the younger generation. Education has a central role as the last bastion in preserving cultural identity through the integration of local values into the curriculum, particularly through the Merdeka Curriculum and the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project. The creative and ethical use of digital technology based on local wisdom has proven to be an important strategy for shaping a digitally literate generation that is also deeply rooted in culture, because a great nation is one that is able to preserve and nurture its culture amid changing times.

Analysis of Sliding Gate Mixer Machine as a Context for Engineering Learning
type: item
description: Sliding gate systems in cement mixer machines are critical components for regulating material flow; however, their performance is often constrained by excessive friction and shear forces, particularly under maximum load conditions. Empirical observations at PT FOCON Mojokerto revealed that the sliding gate fails to operate smoothly when the hopper load reaches one ton, leading to increased actuation force demand and overheating of the pneumatic cylinder. This study aims to analyze the shear forces acting on the sliding gate based on different material contact configurations and to determine the optimal pneumatic cylinder bore diameter for efficient operation. The research employs a quantitative analytical approach grounded in classical friction theory and pneumatic force analysis, using field-observed loading conditions and validated material friction coefficients. The results demonstrate that metal-to-metal contact generates the highest shear force (925 kg), whereas the use of nylon combined with grease lubrication reduces the shear force significantly to 187.5 kg, enabling a reduction in the required pneumatic cylinder bore diameter from 155 mm to 70 mm at a working pressure of 5 bar. These findings confirm that appropriate material selection and lubrication substantially improve sliding gate performance and actuator efficiency. The study concludes that polymer-based, lubricated sliding interfaces provide a practical and economical alternative to imported components. Scientifically, this research contributes by explicitly linking tribological material properties to pneumatic actuator sizing in industrial sliding gate design.

Islamic Educational Philosophy in the Context of Modern Education
type: item
description: Modern education faces a series of complex challenges. Rapid social change, the penetration of digital technology, an instant culture, and a moral crisis among the younger generation demand a more robust educational paradigm rooted in values. This paper aims to analyze the relevance of Islamic educational philosophy in the context of modern education. The discussion focuses on the nature of Islamic educational philosophy, the ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of Islamic education, and its implications for educational design in the digital age. This research method utilizes a literature review, reviewing relevant books and scholarly articles, including one article specifically discussing Islamic educational philosophy and its scope. The analysis shows that Islamic educational philosophy can serve as an alternative paradigm to modern education, which tends toward secularism and technocracy. Education built on a framework of monotheism, the integration of knowledge and values, and an orientation toward morality provides a strong foundation for developing a more humane and sustainable curriculum, methods, and educational culture.

Perception of Science Teachers in Malacca on Science Learning That Integrates Local Wisdom
type: item
description: Science Education in Indonesia faces challenges regarding contextual relevance. This study aimed to describe and analyze the perceptions of Science teachers in Malaka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, towards the integration of local wisdom (LW) into the learning process. This approach is believed to bridge universal scientific concepts with students' cultural reality. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method with a survey design. The study population was all junior and senior high school Science teachers in Malaka, with a sample of 45 teachers selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected via a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean scores and percentages). The results indicate that the overall perception of Science teachers in Malaka falls into the Very Positive category (composite mean score 4.25), signaling strong support for this approach. Although teachers hold very positive understanding and attitudes regarding the benefits of integration, they face significant challenges in implementation, mainly related to the scarcity of teaching modules specifically based on Malaka's local wisdom and time constraints for developing their own contextual materials. Teachers explicitly expressed an urgent need for training on ethnoscience integration methodology and the facilitation of contextual teaching materials. The study concludes that teachers' willingness to innovate is high, but the success of the implementation requires strategic institutional support.

The The Challenges of Islamic Education in the Digital Age: Moral Crisis, Digital Literacy, and Religious Authority
type: item
description: The development of the digital era has brought significant changes in Islamic educational practices. On the one hand, the digital era opens up vast opportunities for access to knowledge and learning innovation, but on the other hand it also presents a variety of serious challenges. This article aims to analyze the challenges of Islamic education in the digital era which include student moral crises, low digital literacy, and shifts in religious authority. The method used in writing this article is a literature review with a qualitative-descriptive approach through the analysis of relevant literature, such as books, journal articles, and credible digital sources. The results show that exposure to unfiltered information, instant culture, and the dominance of social media contribute to the weakening of the internalization of moral values, the low ability to think critically, and the emergence of new religious authorities that do not always have scientific legitimacy. Therefore, Islamic education is needed to revitalize the curriculum, strengthen digital literacy, and rebuild scientific authority based on Islamic values. This effort is expected to be able to make Islamic education relevant and competitive in the midst of digitalization flows.
