Educating Faith Amid Algorithms (A Case Study of Intergenerational Relations in Urban Families of Mataram City)
This study aims to analyze how urban families in Mataram City educate their children in faith amid the algorithmic era. The research is based on shifts in family education patterns due to the penetration of digital technology, which has displaced parental authority, created communication fragmentation, and challenged the continuity of religion's role in guiding children's learning. A descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-unit case study design was employed. The research involved five urban families in Mataram City, selected purposively based on their active use of digital devices, parental involvement in children's education, and the application of religious values in daily life, all of which were relevant to the study's focus. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and were then analyzed thematically and interactively with methodological and source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that digital education and religious values complement each other in maintaining intergenerational harmony. First, the shift of educational authority from parents to digital sources is addressed through collaboration between moral values and technology at home. Second, the fragmentation of communication caused by gadget dominance is mitigated by creating moments of togetherness and reflective dialogue among family members. Third, religious values serve as a moral compass that guides the ethical and responsible use of technology. The study concludes that educating faith amid algorithms means integrating technology with spiritual and relational values, rather than rejecting digitalization. These findings underscore the importance of fostering family-based humanistic digital literacy that strikes a balance between technical competence and ethical and spiritual awareness.

Teachers’ Perspectives on Code-Switching and Code-Mixing in Classroom Interaction
This research is a qualitative descriptive study that explores EFL teachers' perspectives on the implementation of code-switching and code-mixing in classroom settings. Implementing observation and stimulated recall interviews using an observation sheet and video, four EFL teachers at MAN Ambon, selected through purposive sampling, were first observed and then interviewed to elaborate on their insights into the use of these linguistic strategies in teaching. Moreover, the analysis of the interactive data followed three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings reveal that teachers' perceptions are diverse, which can be divided into two main categories: positive and negative. On the positive side, teachers notice that code-switching and code-mixing are tools that enhance students' understanding, increase motivation, and aid in vocabulary acquisition. On the other hand, negative perceptions include concerns about the risk of monotonous repetition leading to students' lack of interest and the possibility of deviating from standard language norms. These findings are expected to contribute to teachers and other researchers by enriching their understanding of the pedagogical implications of language alternation practices in EFL classrooms.

Digital Learning Transformation for Civil Servants through MOOC: An Impact Study of The Pintar Self-Learning Training Program by the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Maluku and North Maluku
This study aims to analyse the impact of training programs for civil servants (ASN) on two key aspects: first, the implementation of their duties and responsibilities; and second, the improvement of organisational performance and service delivery to stakeholders. The research employed a quantitative method. Data were collected using a non-test technique in the form of a questionnaire. Accordingly, the research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of a list of statements with five alternative answers on a Likert scale. The population consisted of all civil servants from the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Maluku and North Maluku Provinces, while the sample comprised randomly selected civil servants from the same population who served as respondents. The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics were used to present the distribution of respondents' data, while inferential statistics were employed in a One-Sample t-test with a 5% significance level. In this context, inferential statistics were used to generalise whether the MOOC Pintar training had a significant impact. The findings reveal that the MOOC Pintar training has a significant impact on civil servants of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Maluku and North Maluku Provinces. These results underscore the importance of sustaining the MOOC Pintar training continuously, given its significant contribution to improving civil servants' task implementation, positional responsibilities, organisational performance, and stakeholder service. Although this research is limited to the perceptions of civil servants in the two provinces and the impact measured was confined to their self-perceptions, without incorporating supervisors' assessments, the findings nonetheless provide valuable recommendations for future studies in other regions. Further research, including supervisor evaluations, is suggested to broaden the scope of data regarding the impact of MOOC Pintar on civil servants of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Implementation of Event Management through Communication, Leadership, and Time Management Training for Students of SMA Al Hilal Ambon
Event management is a professional activity that brings together a group of people to carry out specific tasks or events. This activity aims to train students in managing activities related to the theme of training, thereby improving their communication, leadership, and time management skills. The method used is service learning, which involves the direct participation of students from the MPI FITK UIN AM Sangadji Ambon Study Program as the organising committee, utilising a participatory approach through the delivery of interactive materials and panel discussions. The implementation of the activity involved 11 students in grades X and XI of Al Hilaal Ambon High School. The results of the activity showed that students were trained in the courage to speak in public, the importance of leading and managing groups, and were given tips on managing time related to their academic activities. The results obtained by students in managing activities through the application of event management stages, ranging from research, design, planning, coordination, and evaluation, show that there are obstacles in the coordination aspect. It is due to a change in the implementation schedule, where activities that were originally scheduled together must be carried out earlier than the planned target. However, this activity provides dual benefits, namely, strengthening students' soft skills and improving student competence in managing educational events professionally.

This study aims to improve students' understanding through contextual-based interactive e-books integrated with waste management practice guidelines, in order to increase students' understanding and involvement in local environmental issues. Environmental education plays an important role in shaping students' awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. However, the learning process in the Biology Education Study Program at Pattimura University still faces obstacles, especially the limitation of practical and contextual materials. This research is quantitative research conducted in May 2025 with second semester students as subjects. The E-book development procedure refers to the adapted Borg & Gall model. The E-book contains material on the potential of Maluku's natural resources, environmental issues, management strategies, and practical guidelines. The results of the trial showed that the E-book received a very positive response from students with an average acceptance rate of 86.22%. The increase in comprehension scores from the pre-test to the post-test was 22.7 points (from 62.4 to 85.1). The paired t-test results showed a value of t(29)=13.45t with p < 0.0001, proving that there was a significant difference between the scores before and after using the interactive e-book. The increase in engagement scores after using the E-book (pre: M = 58.01, SD ≈ ), (post: M = 67.84, SD ≈ ), difference M = 9.82, t(29) = 13.45, p < 0.0001, indicates a significant increase in engagement, particularly in the aspects of behaviour in using exercises/quizzes, making digital notes, using interactive features, frequency of multimedia access, and consistency in completing topics. Thus, this contextual-based interactive E-book has been proven effective in improving understanding, engagement, and the relevance of environmental learning for students.

The Transformation of Indoctrination Traditions in Islamic Boarding School Education Institutions: An Islamic Perspective from the Quran
The learning model in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), which is characterized by cultural indoctrination, leads to a very slow transformation process towards a critical pedagogy model. The impact on students includes a lack of independent thought and rationality, as well as a decline in critical and creative thinking skills. Research conducted in three Pesantren on the Island of Java indicates that Pesantren Tebuireng represents a fully integrated model. Pesantren Baitul Hikmah is undergoing a selective integration transformation model. In contrast, Pesantren Ngruki follows an instrumental integration transformation model. There are five parameters used as indicators of educational transformation: leadership transformation, education system transformation, curriculum transformation, teaching method transformation, and transformation in the level of student rationality and creativity. Ideally, Islamic educational institutions, such as pesantren, should aim to develop skills, foster rational thinking, and uphold morality grounded in religious knowledge. The purpose of this study is to examine the transformation process of spiritual learning models from indoctrinative to critical, analytical, and rational models in three pesantren in Java. This study is a descriptive, qualitative investigation that employs descriptive analysis as its method. The study concludes that among the three pesantren, only Pesantren Tebuireng has undergone a significant transformation from an indoctrinative learning model to a critical pedagogy. Meanwhile, changes at Pesantren Baitul Hikmah and Ngruki remain insignificant.

From Anthropocentric to Biocentric: Reforming Sociology Education through Hidden Curriculum to Prepare Sustainability-Oriented Teachers in Maluku
The reform of sociology education in the context of sustainability demands a paradigm shift from anthropocentric to biocentric thinking, particularly in preparing future teachers to internalise sustainability values rooted in local wisdom. This study aims to identify and analyse the role of the hidden curriculum in embedding sustainability values in prospective teachers in Maluku, within the context of sociology education. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and focus group discussions (FGDs) involving the Department of Sociology at Universitas Pattimura and selected secondary schools in the Maluku region. The findings reveal that sustainability values are implicitly instilled through local cultural practices, such as Pela Gandong (social solidarity), Sasi Laut (customary marine conservation), and gotong royong (social and economic sustainability). Additionally, local historical narratives and myths contribute to students' ecological awareness. The study highlights the strategic potential of sociology education in shaping a sustainability-oriented mindset among future educators. Its novelty lies in identifying a contextual and applicable model of hidden curriculum based on local wisdom. The main recommendation is to design a more explicit curriculum that integrates sustainability values into both conceptual and practical dimensions of teaching and learning.

Digital Habitus and The Transformation of Social Interaction: A Case Study of Smartphone Use among Students at MAN 2 Model Mataram
This study aims to explore digital habitus and the transformation of social interaction in the use of smartphones among students at MAN 2 Model Mataram. The approach is a mixed method, combining quantitative and qualitative methods through a case study design. Data collection instruments include observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The results show that smartphone usage among students is very high, with 56.5% frequently using them at school and 88.9% accessing non-academic content during class hours. Although most students claim to use smartphones for studying, many also use them for entertainment and social media, affecting their concentration and leading to peer pressure. This repeated usage forms a digital habitus, a new dispositional pattern that replaces direct social interaction with screen-based interaction. As a result, social relationships among students become more individualistic and weaken collective values within the school environment. The main contribution of this research lies in strengthening the concept of digital habitus within the educational context and highlighting the importance of digital literacy as a strategy for character development in the technological era. The study recommends that school policies not only restrict but also guide technology’s ethical and educational use.

Design Thinking of Character Formation in Basic Training for Prospective Civil Servants from the Perspective of the Qur'an
This study formulates Design Thinking as a solution for character building for Prospective Civil Servants (CPNS). This study confirms that the Design Thinking approach can be applied in learning and compiling designs or actualization plans by following several stages in Design Thinking that focus on the formation of CPNS characters. The values contained in the Design Thinking stages are related to the Al-Qur’an because many Islamic spiritual values can be internalized in the Design Thinking stages. The method used in this study is qualitative research. The data obtained are based on library research, verses of the Al-Qur’an, publications in the form of books, research results, journals, conference or seminar proceedings, and articles. The study’s conclusion was obtained through a critical analysis of the decline in character of the younger generation, the generation that dominates the CPNS population. In addition, several steps were also applied to compile designs or actualization plans for CPNS Basic Training participants. By instilling character building from the beginning of Basic Training, CPNS is expected to grow into CPNS who are skilled and have high morals to serve the community. Thus, investment in CPNS character building will improve bureaucratic performance and increase public trust in the government. The recommendations given in this study to the government are to enhance character building for CPNS using design thinking applied in technical training, leadership training, and other training. Next, further activities are needed to implement Design Thinking insertion in CPNS competency development.

The Effective Methods for Analyzing and Interpreting Data in Classroom Action Research
Educators widely use Classroom Action Research (C.A.R.) to improve teaching quality. In its process, effectively analyzing and interpreting data becomes crucial to generating valid and relevant findings. However, many teachers still need help with analyzing and interpreting C.A.R. data. This article discusses practical ways to analyze and interpret C.A.R. data so teachers can better understand it. The method used in this research is qualitative with descriptive analysis. The results from the literature review and examination of C.A.R. reports show several C.A.R. data collection techniques, including interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation. Meanwhile, interviews with teachers who have conducted C.A.R. revealed that C.A.R. data analysis techniques are divided into two types: quantitative data analysis and qualitative data analysis. Every piece of data analyzed requires interpretation to understand the obtained data properly. Applying appropriate strategies in managing C.A.R. data can lead to more accurate and applicable interpretations. This can support more effective decision-making as part of efforts to improve learning. The implication of this study is the development of a practical guide, complete with examples, for conducting C.A.R. data analysis and interpretation, which teachers and other education practitioners can use.
