HUBUNGAN ANTARA GAYA BELAJAR VARK DENGAN PREFERENSI MEDIA DIGITAL DALAM PEMBELAJARAN BIOLOGI SISWA KELAS XII SMA NEGERI DI KOTA SINGARAJA
ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the relationship between VARK learning styles and digital media preferences in biology learning, considering the limited empirical evidence linking these two variables among senior high school students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. Data were collected using a VARK learning styles questionnaire and a digital media preference questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted descriptively using cross-tabulation and inferentially using Pearson’s Chi-Square test and the contingency coefficient (C). The results indicate that students’ learning styles vary, with the majority classified as multimodal learners, while the read/write learning style showed the lowest percentage. Students’ digital media preferences also demonstrated diversity, with most students categorized as Multimodal Digital Learners, whereas e-module showed the lowest preference level. Although students tend to be flexible in utilizing various types of digital media, each learning style group still exhibits specific tendencies in selecting media that align with their learning characteristics. Hypothesis testing revealed a significant relationship between VARK learning styles and digital media preferences (Sig. = 0.013), with a weak strength of association (C = 0.32). These findings indicate that learning styles contribute to students’ digital media preferences; however, they are not the sole determining factor in the selection of learning media. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara gaya belajar VARK dan preferensi media digital dalam pembelajaran biologi, mengingat masih terbatasnya bukti empiris yang mengaitkan kedua variabel tersebut pada konteks siswa SMA. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian korelasional. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner gaya belajar VARK dan kuesioner preferensi media digital. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif menggunakan tabulasi silang, serta secara inferensial menggunakan uji Pearson’s Chi-Square dan koefisien kontingensi (C). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gaya belajar siswa bervariasi, dengan mayoritas siswa termasuk dalam kategori multimodal, sedangkan gaya belajar read/write memiliki persentase terendah. Preferensi media digital siswa juga menunjukkan keragaman, di mana sebagian besar siswa tergolong sebagai Multimodal Digital Learner, sementara media e-modul memiliki tingkat preferensi terendah. Meskipun siswa cenderung fleksibel dalam memanfaatkan berbagai jenis media digital, setiap kelompok gaya belajar tetap memperlihatkan kecenderungan tertentu dalam memilih media yang selaras dengan karakteristik belajarnya. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara gaya belajar VARK dan preferensi media digital (Sig. = 0,013) dengan kekuatan hubungan yang tergolong lemah (C = 0,32). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa gaya belajar berkontribusi terhadap preferensi media digital siswa, namun bukan merupakan satu-satunya faktor penentu dalam pemilihan media pembelajaran.

CLASSROOM DYNAMICS AND SPEAKING MASTERY IN AI-INTEGRATED MOBILE-ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING: A STUDY IN INDONESIAN EFL CONTEXT
ABSTRACT This study aims to empirically examine the effect of the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-integrated Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) on classroom dynamics and students’ speaking proficiency in the Indonesian EFL context. The study is grounded in the persistent issues of low oral participation and high speaking anxiety in conventional classroom instruction. Addressing these challenges requires instructional approaches that promote interactive engagement while providing individualized learning support. An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was employed, involving 96 eleventh-grade students from the Explore Program at SMA NU 1 Gresik. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-speaking tests assessed using an analytic rubric covering fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, and vocabulary, while qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. The experimental group participated in AI-supported speaking activities for eight weeks, whereas the control group received conventional instruction with limited AI integration. The findings indicate that the experimental group demonstrated greater improvement in speaking scores compared to the control group, particularly in pronunciation and vocabulary development. Qualitative results reveal increased student engagement, more participatory classroom interaction patterns, a shift in the teacher’s role toward facilitation, and reduced speaking anxiety associated with individualized AI-generated feedback. These findings suggest that AI-supported learning environments may foster more responsive and interactive speaking instruction within classroom settings. Thus, the implementation of AI-integrated MALL contributed positively to classroom dynamics and students’ speaking proficiency within the eight-week intervention period, without extending claims beyond the duration of the study. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara empiris pengaruh penerapan Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) terintegrasi kecerdasan buatan (AI) terhadap dinamika kelas dan penguasaan berbicara siswa dalam konteks EFL di Indonesia.

Data were analyzed using an independent samples t-test at a 0.05 significance level after meeting the prerequisite statistical assumptions. The results showed that the posttest mean score of the experimental group (77.73) was lower than that of the control group (87.73), with a t-value of 3.12 and p < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference. These findings confirm that SFBT is an effective strength-based, brief, and practical intervention for reducing academic procrastination in vocational school contexts and is relevant for implementation in school counseling services. ABSTRAK Prokrastinasi akademik merupakan kecenderungan menunda penyelesaian tugas meskipun menyadari dampak negatifnya terhadap hasil belajar dan masih menjadi permasalahan nyata pada siswa SMK Negeri 1 Lolomatua sehingga memengaruhi capaian akademik serta kedisiplinan belajar. Meskipun berbagai pendekatan konseling telah diterapkan untuk mengatasi perilaku tersebut, penelitian eksperimental yang secara khusus menguji efektivitas Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) pada konteks sekolah kejuruan masih terbatas, sehingga diperlukan kajian yang lebih terukur dan kontekstual. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji efektivitas SFBT dalam menurunkan prokrastinasi akademik siswa. Penelitian menggunakan desain eksperimen semu dengan model Pretest–Posttest Control Group Design terhadap 30 siswa yang dipilih secara purposive dan dibagi secara proporsional ke dalam kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol, di mana kelompok eksperimen memperoleh layanan konseling SFBT melalui sesi terstruktur yang menekankan identifikasi kekuatan, penetapan tujuan, dan perumusan solusi, sedangkan kelompok kontrol tidak diberikan perlakuan. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji t pada taraf signifikansi 0,05 setelah memenuhi asumsi prasyarat analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor posttest kelompok eksperimen (77,73) lebih rendah dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (87,73) dengan nilai t hitung 3,12 dan p < 0,05, yang menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa SFBT efektif sebagai intervensi berbasis kekuatan yang singkat dan aplikatif dalam menurunkan prokrastinasi akademik di sekolah kejuruan serta relevan untuk diimplementasikan dalam layanan bimbingan dan konseling.
PENGARUH KONFORMITAS TEMAN SEBAYA TERHADAP PRESTASI BELAJAR SISWA DI SMP NEGERI 2 GIDO
ABSTRACT This study is grounded in the importance of peer conformity in shaping adolescents’ academic behavior at the junior high school level, where peer group pressure may function adaptively or maladaptively toward academic achievement. The focus of this research is to analyze the effect of peer conformity on students’ academic achievement at SMP Negeri 2 Gido. The study employed a quantitative approach using an explanatory correlational design, which is methodologically more appropriate than the term causal-comparative because the study examines the relationship and direction of influence between variables without manipulating treatment conditions. The sample consisted of 30 students from class VIII-C selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had met validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis included prerequisite tests (normality, homogeneity, and linearity) followed by simple linear regression to examine the predictive relationship model between variables. The results indicate that peer conformity has a negative and significant effect on academic achievement (p = 0.015 < 0.05), meaning that the higher the conformity to non-academic group norms, the lower the students’ academic performance. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening a positive academic culture and fostering constructive peer group dynamics as preventive strategies to enhance students’ academic achievement. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pentingnya peran konformitas teman sebaya dalam membentuk perilaku akademik remaja pada jenjang sekolah menengah pertama, di mana tekanan kelompok dapat berdampak adaptif maupun maladaptif terhadap capaian belajar. Fokus penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pengaruh konformitas teman sebaya terhadap prestasi belajar siswa di SMP Negeri 2 Gido. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional eksplanatori, yang secara metodologis lebih tepat dibandingkan istilah kausal komparatif karena penelitian ini menguji hubungan dan arah pengaruh antarvariabel tanpa manipulasi perlakuan. Sampel berjumlah 30 siswa kelas VIII-C yang ditentukan melalui teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan angket skala Likert yang telah memenuhi uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Analisis data mencakup uji prasyarat (normalitas, homogenitas, dan linearitas) serta regresi linear sederhana sebagai teknik untuk menguji model hubungan prediktif antarvariabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konformitas teman sebaya berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap prestasi belajar (p = 0,015 < 0,05), yang berarti semakin tinggi konformitas pada norma kelompok non-akademik maka semakin rendah capaian belajar siswa. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya penguatan budaya akademik positif dan pembinaan dinamika kelompok sebaya sebagai strategi preventif dalam meningkatkan prestasi belajar.

The degradation of national character due to the flow of technology demands an educational solution through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) to build students' moral values. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of P5 in character building at SMAN 6 Kupang, with a focus on module development and the implementation of character dimensions. Using a qualitative evaluation paradigm, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Marshall and Rossman model. The research steps included five planning stages: theme selection, time allocation, goal setting, module development, and assessment. The findings indicate that module development followed standard procedures, with an emphasis on the theme of Local Wisdom. Character implementation was analyzed through Albert Bandura's four stages of social learning theory: attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation. The results confirmed that ten intensive meetings on one theme were able to increase students' active participation and understanding of gratitude, environmental conservation, and cultural diversity. Although not optimal, this project had a positive impact on students' interpersonal development. The main conclusion confirms that the effectiveness of P5 is highly dependent on the systematic planning and students' ability to embody the six profile dimensions in their daily lives. The integration of Bandura's theory has been proven to help internalize characters that are in line with the school's vision and national ideology in a sustainable manner to create a superior, competent, innovative, religious, responsible, disciplined, honest, and tolerant generation. ABSTRAK Degradasi karakter bangsa akibat arus teknologi menuntut solusi edukatif melalui Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) guna membangun nilai moral peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pelaksanaan P5 dalam pembentukan karakter di SMAN 6 Kupang, dengan fokus pada penyusunan modul serta implementasi dimensi karakter. Menggunakan paradigma kualitatif jenis evaluasi, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, lalu dianalisis dengan model Marshall dan Rossman. Langkah penelitian mencakup lima tahapan perencanaan: pemilihan tema, alokasi waktu, penentuan tujuan, pembuatan modul, dan asesmen.

PENGEMBANGAN LKPD BERBASIS MODEL PBL MATERI LARUTAN PENYANGGA UNTUK MELATIH KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS PESERTA DIDIK FASE F SMA
Buffer solutions are a chemistry topic in Grade XI Phase F senior high school that students often find difficult due to their abstract nature and the involvement of acid–base and equilibrium concepts. Interviews with chemistry teachers in two senior high schools in Pasaman Regency and an initial test showed that 85% of 40 students scored below the Minimum Mastery Criteria (80). These difficulties are caused by weak prior knowledge and the limited use of Student Worksheets (LKPD) that are not based on macroscopic, submicroscopic, and symbolic representations or the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This study aimed to develop PBL-based LKPD to train students’ critical thinking skills. The research used an Education Design Research (EDR) approach with the Plomp model, limited to the preliminary research and prototyping stages. The results showed that the developed LKPD was valid (0.94292) and very practical, with practicality scores of 94% from teachers and 88% from students. Therefore, the PBL-based LKPD is feasible for chemistry learning. ABSTRAK Larutan penyangga merupakan salah satu materi kimia kelas XI fase F SMA yang bersifat abstrak dan melibatkan konsep asam–basa serta kesetimbangan kimia, sehingga sulit dipahami oleh peserta didik. Hasil wawancara dengan guru kimia di dua SMA Kabupaten Pasaman menunjukkan bahwa peserta didik mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami materi ini, yang diperkuat oleh hasil tes awal di mana 85% dari 40 peserta didik memperoleh nilai di bawah KKTP (80). Kesulitan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh lemahnya pengetahuan awal peserta didik serta keterbatasan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD) yang belum memuat representasi makroskopik, submikroskopik, dan simbolik serta belum berbasis Problem Based Learning (PBL). Padahal, LKPD berbasis PBL berpotensi melatih kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik yang merupakan kompetensi penting dalam pembelajaran abad ke-21. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan LKPD berbasis model PBL pada materi larutan penyangga guna melatih kemampuan berpikir kritis peserta didik fase F. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Education Design Research (EDR) dengan model Plomp yang dibatasi sampai tahap preliminary research dan prototyping stage. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa LKPD yang dikembangkan memiliki nilai validitas sebesar 0,94292 dengan kategori valid. Hasil uji praktikalitas menunjukkan nilai sebesar 94% oleh guru dan 88% oleh peserta didik dengan kategori sangat praktis. Dengan demikian, LKPD berbasis PBL layak digunakan sebagai bahan ajar alternatif dalam pembelajaran kimia.

ABSTRACT Low student participation and collaboration in Christian Religious Education, which still heavily relies on lecture-based methods, results in limited active involvement and less meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to analyze the effect of contextual role-playing methods on learning activeness and collaboration skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 9 Palangka Raya. The main research question is whether contextual role-playing methods can significantly improve student activeness and collaboration compared to conventional teaching methods. This study employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving an experimental class and a control class. Data were collected through observations as well as pre-test and post-test instruments, and analyzed using paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests. The novelty of this study lies in the application of role-playing methods integrated with a contextual approach in Christian Religious Education, enabling the simultaneous development of students’ cognitive, affective, and social aspects. The results reveal that the implementation of contextual role-playing methods has a significant effect on enhancing learning activeness and collaboration, indicating that this method is a feasible alternative instructional strategy that is both effective and aligned with the demands of 21st-century education. ABSTRAK Rendahnya partisipasi dan kerja sama siswa dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Kristen yang masih banyak menggunakan metode ceramah membuat siswa kurang terlibat secara aktif, sehingga pengalaman belajar menjadi kurang bermakna. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh metode role playing berbasis pembelajaran kontekstual terhadap keaktifan belajar dan kemampuan kerja sama siswa kelas VII di SMP Negeri 9 Palangka Raya. Permasalahan utama penelitian adalah apakah metode bermain peran kontekstual dapat meningkatkan keaktifan dan kerjasama siswa secara signifikan dibandingkan metode pembelajaran konvensional. Penelitian ini menerapkan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain eksperimen semu (quasi-experimental design), yang melibatkan kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi serta tes pre-test dan post-test, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji paired sample t-test dan independent sample t-test.

KECENDERUNGAN PERFECTIONISM SISWA SMA DALAM MENGHADAPI UJIAN AKHIR: PERAN MEDIASI KECEMASAN AKADEMIK TERHADAP PROKRASTINASI AKADEMIK
This study aimed to examine the effect of academic perfectionism on academic procrastination, with academic anxiety as a mediating variable among twelfth-grade high school students in Tangerang City who were preparing for their final examinations. The study was motivated by the high academic demands faced during the final stage of secondary education, which may generate psychological pressure, particularly among students with maladaptive perfectionistic tendencies. A quantitative approach with a simple mediation design was employed. The participants consisted of 122 students selected using purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. The instruments used included scales measuring maladaptive academic perfectionism, academic anxiety, and academic procrastination, all of which had been tested for validity and reliability. The results indicated that academic perfectionism had a positive and significant effect on academic anxiety. Academic anxiety also had a positive and significant effect on academic procrastination. In addition, academic perfectionism had a direct and significant effect on academic procrastination. Mediation analysis revealed that academic anxiety partially mediated the relationship between academic perfectionism and academic procrastination. These findings suggest that higher levels of maladaptive perfectionism are associated with increased academic anxiety, which in turn heightens students’ tendency to delay academic tasks. This study provides insight into the psychological dynamics experienced by twelfth-grade students in coping with high academic demands. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh perfeksionisme akademik terhadap prokrastinasi akademik dengan kecemasan akademik sebagai variabel mediasi pada siswa SMA kelas XII di Kota Tangerang yang sedang menghadapi ujian akhir sekolah. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh tingginya tuntutan akademik pada fase akhir pendidikan menengah yang dapay memunculkan tekanan psikologis, khususnya pada siswa dengan kecenderungan perfeksionisme maladaptif. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan desain mediasi sederhana. Partisipan berjumlah 122 siswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sesuai dengan kriteria penelitian. Instrumen yang digunakan meliputi skala perfeksionisme akademik maladaptif, kecemasan akademik, dan prokrastinasi akademik yang telah melalui uji validitas dan reliabilitas. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa perfeksionisme akademik berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kecemasan akademik. Kecemasan akademik juga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap prokrastinasi akademik. Selain itu, perfeksionisme akademik memiliki pengaruh langsung yang signifikan terhadap prokrastinasi akademik. Uji mediasi menunjukkan bahwa kecemasan akademik berperan sebagai mediator parsial dalam hubungan antara perfeksionisme akademik dan prokrastinasi akademik. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa semakin tinggi kecenderungan perfeksionisme maladaptif pada siswa, semakin tinggi tingkat kecemasan yang dialami, yang pada akhirnya meningkatkan kecenderungan untuk menunda tugas-tugas akademik. Penelitian menjelaskan mengenai dinamika psikologis siswa kelas XII dalam menghadapi tuntutan akademik yang tinggi.

KONTRIBUSI PERILAKU PROKRASTINASI DALAM MEMPREDIKSI TINGKAT STRESS AKADEMIK PADA SISWA SEKOLAH MENEGAH PERTAMA
ABSTRACT The high tendency of academic procrastination among students has become a serious concern because it has the potential to increase academic stress arising from academic demands and learning workload. This study aims to examine the influence of academic procrastination on academic stress among junior high school students. This research employs a correlational quantitative design with simple linear regression analysis as the data analysis method. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample, consisting of 73 students from grades 7 to 9 at a private junior high school in South Tangerang. Data were collected through questionnaires using the Academic Expectations Stress Inventory (AESI) developed by Ang & Huan (2006) and the General Procrastination Scale (GP Scale) developed by Ferrari (2015). The results indicate a significant effect of academic procrastination on academic stress (R = 0.289; p = 0.013), where academic procrastination accounts for 8.4% of the variance in students' academic stress. Thus, the higher the level of academic procrastination among students, the higher the academic stress they experience, especially when facing school assignments and exams. ABSTRAK Tingginya kecenderungan prokrastinasi akademik pada peserta didik menjadi permasalahan serius karena berpotensi meningkatkan stres akademik yang bersumber dari tuntutan dan beban pembelajaran.

KONTRIBUSI PROGRAM LITERASI DAN MINAT BACA TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN LITERASI MEMBACA SISWA
ABSTRACT Indonesian students' reading literacy skills remain low, including at the junior high school level. School literacy programs and reading interest are considered two important contributing factors, yet previous research findings have been inconsistent. This study aims to analyze the contribution of literacy programs and reading interest both partially and simultaneously to the reading literacy ability of students at SMP Negeri 22 Mataram. A quantitative approach with a correlational ex post facto design was employed. All grade VII, VIII, and IX students in the 2025/2026 academic year served as a saturated sample of 106 students. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires (literacy program: 11 items; reading interest: 41 items) and a multiple-choice reading literacy test (18 items), all of which had been validated. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression via SPSS version 26. Results show: (1) the literacy program had no significant partial effect on reading literacy ability (t = 1.282; sig. 0.203 > 0.05); (2) reading interest had a significant partial effect on reading literacy ability (t = 9.717; sig. 0.000 < 0.05); and (3) simultaneously, the literacy program and reading interest significantly affected reading literacy ability (F = 87.934; sig. 0.000 < 0.05), contributing 63.1% of the variance. This study confirms that reading interest is the dominant predictor of reading literacy, suggesting that literacy programs need to be evaluated by their capacity to cultivate sustained reading interest. ABSTRAK Kemampuan literasi membaca siswa Indonesia masih tergolong rendah, termasuk di jenjang SMP.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kontribusi program literasi dan minat baca secara parsial maupun simultan terhadap kemampuan literasi membaca siswa di SMP Negeri 22 Mataram. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan desain korelasional ex post facto. Seluruh siswa kelas VII, VIII, dan IX tahun ajaran 2025/2026 dijadikan sampel jenuh dengan jumlah 106 siswa. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket berskala Likert (program literasi: 11 butir; minat baca: 41 butir) dan tes pilihan ganda kemampuan literasi membaca (18 butir) yang telah divalidasi. Analisis data menggunakan regresi linear berganda dengan bantuan SPSS versi 26. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) program literasi secara parsial tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemampuan literasi membaca siswa (t = 1,282; sig. 0,203 > 0,05); (2) minat baca secara parsial berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemampuan literasi membaca siswa (t = 9,717; sig. 0,000 < 0,05); dan (3) secara simultan, program literasi dan minat baca berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemampuan literasi membaca siswa (F = 87,934; sig. 0,000 < 0,05) dengan kontribusi sebesar 63,1%. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa minat baca merupakan prediktor dominan kemampuan literasi membaca, sehingga efektivitas program literasi perlu diukur dari sejauh mana ia mampu menumbuhkan minat baca yang berkelanjutan.
ENHANCING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT THROUGH THE THINK-PAIR-SHARE (TPS) MODEL: CAN THE TEACHING OF AQIDAH AND AKHLAK BE MORE EFFECTIVE?
The learning of Aqidah Akhlak at MTs Negeri 03 Muara Enim faces challenges in the form of low participation, lack of courage for students to ask questions, and the dominance of lecture methods that trigger passivity. The main problem of this research is to test the effectiveness of the Think Pair Share model in transforming student learning activity. The research steps used a quasi-experimental quantitative approach involving 25 students from the experimental class and 27 students from the control class in the odd semester of 2025/2026. Crucial stages include the distribution of an activity questionnaire that measures physical, mental, and emotional dimensions, followed by statistical analysis of the t-test. The quantitative research findings through the Independent Sample T-Test showed a significance value of 0.022, which is far below the threshold of 0.05. The data confirms the existence of a very real difference in activity between the two groups, proving that systematic interaction in the thinking, pairing, and sharing stages is able to trigger active student involvement significantly. The main conclusion confirms that this model has great potential to improve the instructional quality of Islamic education, although its success is still influenced by individual self-confidence and conducive classroom dynamics. Adapting strategies to heterogeneous groups is highly recommended to optimize learning outcomes sustainably and achieve a deep moral understanding for all students in the madrasah environment through active, meaningful and targeted collaboration in shaping the noble character of Indonesia's young generation.

PARTISIPASI SISWA DALAM KEGIATAN KEROHANIAN KRISTEN DI SMK NEGERI 2 SURAKARTA: ANALISIS FAKTOR INTERNAL DAN EKSTERNAL
The inconsistency of student participation in Christian spiritual activities at SMK Negeri 2 Surakarta is the main background of this research, even though the school has provided adequate supporting facilities for students. The focus of the problem is directed at an in-depth analysis of the interaction of internal and external factors that influence the degree of student involvement. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method through in-depth interviews conducted from January to February 2026. The research stages include identifying informants, collecting primary data, reducing information, and systematically drawing conclusions. Research findings indicate that internal factors include the motivational strength of faith, personal awareness, interests, and perceptions of spiritual benefits. Externally, the strategic role of teachers as motivators, the collective influence of peers, and support from school policies are the main strengthening factors. However, significant structural obstacles were identified in the form of activity schedules that clash with break times and a busy academic load, thus hindering the actualization of optimal participation. Student participation is not only measured by the frequency of attendance, but also active involvement in services and management of spiritual organizations. The main conclusion confirms that participation is the result of a dynamic interaction between the personal dimension and the institutional environment. Therefore, increasing engagement requires a holistic approach that synergizes inner spiritual development with more flexible systemic school support to build students' character as a whole. ABSTRAK Ketidakkonsistenan partisipasi siswa dalam kegiatan kerohanian Kristen di SMK Negeri 2 Surakarta menjadi latar belakang utama penelitian ini, meskipun pihak sekolah telah menyediakan fasilitas pendukung yang memadai bagi siswa. Fokus masalah diarahkan pada analisis mendalam mengenai interaksi faktor internal dan eksternal yang memengaruhi derajat keterlibatan siswa. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualitatif deskriptif melalui teknik wawancara mendalam yang dilaksanakan pada periode Januari hingga Februari tahun 2026. Tahapan penelitian meliputi identifikasi informan, pengumpulan data primer, reduksi informasi, hingga penarikan simpulan secara sistematis. Temuan riset menunjukkan bahwa faktor internal mencakup kekuatan motivasi iman, kesadaran pribadi, minat, serta persepsi terhadap manfaat spiritual. Secara eksternal, peran strategis guru sebagai motivator, pengaruh kolektif teman sebaya, serta dukungan kebijakan sekolah menjadi faktor penguat utama. Namun, teridentifikasi kendala struktural signifikan berupa jadwal kegiatan yang bertabrakan dengan jam istirahat serta beban akademik yang padat, sehingga menghambat aktualisasi partisipasi secara optimal. Partisipasi siswa tidak hanya diukur dari frekuensi kehadiran, tetapi juga keterlibatan aktif dalam pelayanan dan kepengurusan organisasi kerohanian. Simpulan utama menegaskan bahwa partisipasi merupakan hasil interaksi dinamis antara dimensi personal dan lingkungan institusional. Oleh karena itu, peningkatan keterlibatan memerlukan pendekatan holistik yang menyinergikan pembinaan spiritual batiniah dengan dukungan sistemik sekolah yang lebih fleksibel guna membangun karakter siswa seutuhnya tuntas.

PENGARUH KEPEMIMPINAN TRANSAKSIONAL, MOTIVASI DAN KOMPETENSI TERHADAP KINERJA GURU MADRASAH ALIYAH
ABSTRACT This study was motivated by suboptimal teacher performance in improving learning quality in madrasah, presumed influenced by the principal’s transactional leadership, work motivation, and pedagogical competence. The objective was to analyze the effect of these variables on the performance of civil servant teachers at MAN 2 Labuhanbatu Utara, partially and simultaneously. The study employed a quantitative ex post facto approach. The population consisted of 60 civil servant teachers, all selected as samples using total sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis included descriptive analysis, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. Results showed that, partially, transactional leadership, work motivation, and pedagogical competence had a significant effect on teacher performance (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, the three variables also significantly affected teacher performance. Regression analysis indicated that pedagogical competence was the most dominant variable, followed by transactional leadership and work motivation. These findings indicate that teachers with strong pedagogical competence, supported by clear transactional leadership in providing direction and rewards, and high work motivation, tend to demonstrate more effective, planned, and consistent teaching performance. These findings suggest that improving teacher performance requires a comprehensive approach through strengthening transactional leadership, enhancing work motivation, and developing pedagogical competence. This study provides important implications for educational management to improve learning quality in madrasahs. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh belum optimalnya kinerja guru dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di madrasah, yang diduga dipengaruhi oleh kepemimpinan transaksional kepala madrasah, motivasi kerja, dan kompetensi pedagogik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh kepemimpinan transaksional, motivasi kerja, dan kompetensi pedagogik terhadap kinerja guru PNS di MAN 2 Labuhanbatu Utara, baik secara parsial maupun simultan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode ex post facto. Populasi penelitian berjumlah 60 guru PNS yang seluruhnya dijadikan sampel dengan teknik total sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui angket skala Likert yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Analisis data meliputi analisis deskriptif, uji asumsi klasik, dan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial kepemimpinan transaksional, motivasi kerja, dan kompetensi pedagogik berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja guru (p < 0,05). Secara simultan, ketiga variabel tersebut juga berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja guru. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa kompetensi pedagogik merupakan variabel yang paling dominan memengaruhi kinerja guru, diikuti oleh kepemimpinan transaksional dan motivasi kerja. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa guru dengan kompetensi pedagogik yang kuat, didukung kepemimpinan transaksional yang jelas dalam memberikan arahan dan penghargaan, serta motivasi kerja yang tinggi, cenderung memiliki kinerja mengajar yang lebih efektif, terencana, dan konsisten. Hasil penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan kinerja guru memerlukan pendekatan komprehensif melalui penguatan kepemimpinan transaksional, peningkatan motivasi kerja, serta pengembangan kompetensi pedagogik secara berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi penting bagi manajemen pendidikan dalam upaya meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran di madrasah.
