2024-12-17T02:15:59+00:00

he Village Consultative Body (Badan Permusyawaratan Desa or BPD) acts as a mediator between the community and the village government, primarily tasked with accommodating and channeling community aspirations. This study examines the effectiveness of the BPD in fulfilling this function in Banjar Lopak Village, Kuantan Singingi Regency, and identifies the challenges faced by the institution. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with the village head and BPD members and analyzed using triangulation techniques to ensure validity. Findings reveal that the BPD has not effectively performed its role due to limited human resource capacity. Many members lack understanding of their duties, resulting in unmet community aspirations and dissatisfaction. The study is limited to Banjar Lopak Village, with potential biases from qualitative methods. Future research could explore multiple villages and employ mixed-methods to provide broader and more comprehensive insights.

2024-12-20T03:44:53+00:00

This research was driven by issues related to the national character of students at Darussalam Aur Duri Sumani Islamic Boarding School, where students from diverse regions live and interact daily. The focus of the research is on the implementation of national character education, especially in an environment prone to misunderstandings, indiscipline, and dishonesty. The study aims to describe the form of national character education, the factors influencing its implementation, and its impact on students, focusing on four core values: religiosity, discipline, honesty, and friendship. This qualitative research uses descriptive methods with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research involves primary and secondary data sources, and purposive sampling for selecting informants, with data validity tested through source triangulation. Data analysis followed stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion. Findings indicate that the pesantren addresses character issues by implementing habits that promote these values, including religious practices, discipline, honesty, and friendship. The factors influencing this implementation are the objectives of the pesantren, its learning environment, and the students' conditions. The impact of this education is evident in the development of positive personalities, enhanced kinship, and improved politeness in language. Limitations of this research include its focus on only one pesantren, limiting its generalizability, and the lack of exploration into external factors influencing character education.

2025-01-02T02:02:01+00:00

This study examines the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) at SMP Negeri 1 Gunung Talang. The research was driven by limited dissemination and understanding of the independent learning curriculum, particularly regarding P5. The objective of this research is to analyze the implementation of P5, identify challenges encountered during its execution, and explore strategies to address these challenges. This study employs a qualitative research approach with a descriptive method. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data validity was ensured using triangulation of sources, while analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that P5 is implemented for grade VII students at SMP Negeri 1 Gunung Talang. However, challenges include insufficient socialization of the program, difficulties in developing project modules, and issues in allocating time for project execution. To address these issues, the school has conducted teacher training on the P5 framework within the independent learning curriculum and facilitated discussions among teachers involved in class projects to refine time management strategies. Future studies should explore the long-term impacts of P5 implementation on student character development and academic performance. Additionally, research could investigate the integration of P5 across different grade levels to assess its broader applicability and effectiveness. Quantitative studies measuring the correlation between teacher training effectiveness and project outcomes would also provide valuable insights. Furthermore, examining the role of parental involvement and community support in enhancing P5 implementation may offer a more comprehensive understanding of its success factors.
