From early conversation to digital performance: Building public speaking confidence among Islamic elementary students in Indonesia

Taufikin Taufikin — 2024-10-25

Background: In an increasingly digitized global educational landscape, public speaking has become an essential competency. However, at the elementary education level—particularly in Islamic education—the development of public speaking confidence is often overlooked and treated as an advanced skill, with limited integration into digital pedagogical practices.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze how public speaking confidence can be built from an early age through the integration of daily conversations, video production, and digital distribution, and to formulate a pedagogical model that systematically explains this process.

Method: A qualitative case study was conducted at MI Tahfidzul Qur’an Raudlatul Falah, Pati. Data were collected through participant observation, interviews with 5 teachers, 5 parents, 15 students, and 1 religious’ leader (Kiai), as well as the analysis of 20 student videos from July 2023 to January 2024. Analysis was conducted using inductive thematic analysis.

Findings: The results of the study indicate that students’ confidence is developed through a recurring pedagogical cycle of “speak–record–publish,” supported by performative transformations (vocal, nonverbal, and structural) and multi-actor social interaction networks. A synthesis of these findings yields a new model, the Digital Performative Habitus Model, which asserts that confidence in speaking is the result of integrating experience, visual reflection, and social validation within a digital learning ecosystem.

Islamic values in bureaucratic practice: A case study of civil service management in East Kotawaringin Indonesia

Ahmad Hidir Amin — 2026-04-11

Background: Studies on the Islamization of knowledge have been widely developed within Islamic education, particularly in relation to epistemological and pedagogical frameworks. However, empirical research examining how Islamic values are integrated into the management practices of government bureaucracy remains relatively limited, especially from the perspective of Islamic educational management.

Purpose: This study aims to analyse how Islamic values in knowledge are integrated into the management of the civil service (ASN) from the perspective of Islamic education management in East Kotawaringin Regency.

Method: This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with civil servants, observations of organizational activities, and analysis of policy documents related to ASN management. The data were analysed thematically through the processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.

Findings: The findings reveal that the integration of Islamic values in ASN management is reflected in leadership practices emphasizing trustworthiness and responsibility, the development of civil servant competencies based on Islamic work ethics, and the formation of organizational culture through spiritual guidance activities in the workplace. However, the internalization of religious values within bureaucratic governance remains largely normative and has not been fully institutionalized in organizational management mechanisms such as performance evaluation systems, organizational regulations, and bureaucratic accountability frameworks. These findings indicate a gap between the discourse of religious values in bureaucratic leadership and their structural implementation in governance systems.

Developing AtmoLearn: Mobile simulation learning media to enhance students understanding of atmospheric concepts

Muhammad Sainul Fadlan Fadlan — 2025-09-28

Background: The need for learning media continues to grow in accordance with students' learning needs, including in geography subjects. Geography material that still has difficulties in understanding is the phenomenon of the geosphere (Atmosphere). It is necessary to develop learning media that can solve problems in geography learning, namely media based on mobile learning simulation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a geography learning media product for atmospheric material based on mobile learning simulation in the form of a website with the product name AtmoLearn.

Method: The development method used is a modification of ADDIE, namely ADD. Researchers are aware of limitations in implementing it.

Findings: The results of this study are to produce learning media products that are ready to be implemented. Thus, AtmoLearn products can be applied to students to determine their effectiveness, usefulness, and can increase student motivation and learning outcomes.
