STRENGTHENING THE CHARACTER OF PANCASILA THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF HUMANITARIAN VALUES (STUDY OF MEGA BUANA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS)
type: item
description: This study is entitled “Strengthening Pancasila Character Through Integration of Human Values (Study of Mega Buana University Students)” and aims to examine how the humanitarian values in Pancasila are integrated into the lives of students and their impact on character formation. Pancasila, especially the second principle, emphasizes the importance of a just and civilized humanitarian attitude, but its implementation among students still faces challenges such as intolerance and individualism. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study collects data from in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies of Mega Buana University students. The results of the study indicate that students' understanding of the values of humanity in Pancasila is still diverse, and its application in everyday life is influenced by social, educational, and campus cultural environmental factors. The integration of human values in academic and extracurricular activities has been shown to have a positive impact in shaping the character of students who are more caring, fair, and socially responsible. This study concludes that the integration of human values in the curriculum and campus activities needs to be improved to form a generation of students based on the values of Pancasila, especially in facing today's social challenges.

title: GOVERNMENT EFFORTS TO REALISE EDUCATIONAL EQUITY THROUGH TEACHER REDISTRIBUTION AND DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT: A LITERATURE REVIEW ON STRATEGIES AND CHALLENGES IN REDUCING URBAN AND RURAL EDUCATIONAL DISPARITIES IN INDONESIA
description: Educational equity in Indonesia still faces significant challenges, particularly regarding quality and access disparities between urban and rural areas. This study employs a literature review method to analyse the government's strategies in reducing these disparities through two main approaches: teacher redistribution and digital infrastructure improvement. The findings indicate that teacher redistribution programmes, such as the Frontline Teachers programme and the placement of civil servant teachers (PNS/PPPK), have improved the teacher-student ratio and brought qualified educators to remote areas. Meanwhile, strengthening digital infrastructure through the Palapa Ring project, school digitisation, and the provision of technological devices have opened up more equitable access to online learning. However, the implementation of these two efforts still faces challenges such as teacher resistance to placement in remote areas, limited supporting facilities, low digital literacy, and limitations in basic infrastructure such as electricity and internet connectivity. This study concludes that the success of educational equity requires integrated policy synergy, local government involvement, and support from various stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of the programme.

INTEGRATING ISLAMIC VALUES IN BUILDING INDEPENDENCE AND MORALITY IN CHILDREN IN THE ERA OF RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
type: item
description: Rapid technological developments have brought significant changes to children's learning patterns, behaviour, and character. Although these developments open up great opportunities to expand knowledge and skills, challenges such as moral degradation, declining independence, and exposure to negative content pose real threats. This study aims to analyse strategies for integrating Islamic values in building independence and morality in children in the digital age, using a qualitative descriptive literature review method. Data were obtained from relevant literature, including books, journal articles, and previous studies, which were then analysed using content analysis. The results of the study indicate that Islamic values—such as Amanah (trustworthiness), Tawhid (monotheism), honesty, responsibility, and Ukhuwwah (brotherhood)—play a fundamental role in shaping the character of independent and moral children amid technological advances. The effectiveness of integrating these values is greatly influenced by the involvement of parents, educational institutions, and the social environment through creative and adaptive approaches, such as the use of interactive Islamic digital media, education based on role models, and Islamic digital literacy. This study recommends collaborative strategies that leverage technology as a tool to strengthen Islamic values, enabling children to grow into a generation of intelligent, independent, and morally upright Muslims in the digital age.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT CYCLE-BASED EVALUATION: AN EFFECTIVE CONTROL STRATEGY FOR PROGRAMME SUCCESS
type: item
description: This study aims to analyse the application of continuous improvement cycle-based evaluation and its integration with effective control strategies in order to increase the chances of programme success. The method used is a literature review with a descriptive-analytical approach, which examines concepts, theories, and empirical findings from various scientific sources such as journals, books, and research reports. The results of the study indicate that the application of a continuous improvement cycle model, such as Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA), enables program evaluation to be carried out systematically, adaptively, and repeatedly, so that weaknesses can be identified and corrected quickly. Meanwhile, effective control strategies—including the establishment of clear performance indicators, continuous monitoring, proactive risk management, strong governance, and the use of technology—can strengthen the evaluation process and ensure the efficient achievement of programme objectives. The synergy between these two approaches not only improves programme performance and quality but also fosters an organisational culture that is responsive, accountable, and quality-oriented. These findings have important implications for programme managers across sectors to adopt an integrated evaluation-control framework as a long-term management strategy.

DYNAMICS OF MOBILE DEVICE ADDICTION AND COMMUNICATION GAPAMONG COUPLES IN OGUN STATE: THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE
type: item
description: The widespread incorporation of mobile devices into everyday life has created new challenges in interpersonal interactions, especially among couples. This study investigated the dynamics of mobile device addiction and its effects on communication gaps, emphasising the mediating function of language in Ogun State, Nigeria. The research utilised a descriptive survey design with 110 intentionally chosen couples (N = 220 persons). Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and analysed utilising Pearson's correlation and Chi-square tests. The findings indicated a substantial positive correlation between mobile device addiction and communication deficits among couples (r = .411, p < .05), implying that excessive mobile usage diminishes emotional intimacy and mutual comprehension. The language employed in mobile- mediated contacts significantly affected relationship comprehension (χ² = .000, p < .05), suggesting that casual, unclear, or emotionally neutral digital language leads to communication failures. The research concludes that language serves as a vital intermediary in the relationship between mobile device addiction and communication quality. These findings underscore the necessity for interventions in communication literacy, the establishment of digital boundaries, and the incorporation of mobile communication dynamics into relationship counseling frameworks. The study recommends that couples should establish consensual guidelines for mobile phone usage during shared activities (e.g., meals, and bedtime) to minimise distractions and improve the quality of face-to-face communication.

THE INFLUENCE OF AUDIO-VISUAL LEARNING MEDIA ON EARLY CHILDHOOD LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
type: item
description: This research aims to examine the influence of audio-visual learning media on early childhood language development through a literature review approach. Language development in early childhood is an important aspect that forms the basis for children's subsequent communication, thinking and learning abilities. Audio-visual media, which combines elements of sound and images, is believed to be able to provide effective stimulation in improving children's language skills, both from the receptive (hearing and understanding) and expressive (speaking and expressing ideas) aspects. This study analyzes various scientific sources such as journals, books and articles in the last ten years, using a content analysis and thematic synthesis approach. The study results show that audio-visual media can enrich children's language environment, expand vocabulary, and help understand language structures contextually, especially if their use is accompanied by interaction with teachers or parents. However, the effectiveness of this media is very dependent on the quality of the content, duration of use, and the active involvement of the companion in the learning process. Thus, audio-visual media has great potential to become an effective learning aid if applied appropriately and wisely in early childhood education

This study examines the use of Instagram Reels as an additional medium to support speaking practice among first- semester Public Administration students at STIA Lancang Kuning, Indonesia. Thirty students were selected purposively to participate in this qualitative descriptive study. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of student-produced Reels. The learning process followed three stages: pre-class learning through YouTube videos, in-class discussions and activities, and post-class speaking tasks on Instagram Reels. Findings show that 80% of students experienced greater confidence in speaking English through repeated recording and reflection. About 75% reported higher engagement due to the creative nature of the activity, and 70% believed Reels helped them understand the material in a more engaging and relevant way. Technical challenges, such as application errors or device limitations, were reported by 60% of students but were generally manageable. Students emphasized that the combination of pre-class preparation and the informal atmosphere of social media reduced their anxiety and encouraged them to speak more frequently. This study indicates that Instagram Reels can serve as an effective platform for contextual speaking practice when integrated into a flipped classroom. Teachers are encouraged to explore similar approaches, while further research may investigate its long-term influence on oral proficiency and strategies to address technical issues.
