The prevalence of bullying in educational settings indicates that religious education has not yet fully succeeded in fostering empathetic and humanistic social relationships among students. This situation underscores the importance of an educational model that focuses not only on academic achievement and mastery of religious knowledge but also on strengthening character development and positive social interactions within the school environment. This study aims to describe the design, implementation, and model of the Love-Based Curriculum in Akidah Akhlak instruction to prevent bullying behavior at MTsN 3 Malang. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design involving the school principal, Akidah Akhlak teachers, the vice principal for curriculum, guidance counselors, and students as research subjects. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using a descriptive-interpretive approach. The results indicate that the Love-Based Curriculum is built through the integration of values such as compassion, empathy, respect for others, religious practices, teacher role modeling, and a humanistic school culture to support positive social interactions among students. The implementation of this model contributes to the development of moral awareness, harmonious interpersonal relationships, and the creation of a safer and more comfortable school environment, thereby helping to prevent bullying behavior. This study contributes to the development of humanistic and character-based Islamic education by emphasizing the importance of social relationships and emotional experiences in the educational process. These findings affirm that education grounded in the values of love and a humanistic approach can serve as an effective preventive strategy in reducing bullying behavior in school settings.
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Integrated Islamic School (SIT) curriculum in fostering students’ Islamic character at SMAIT Al Uswah Tuban. It employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through observations, interviews with the principal, teachers, and students, as well as analysis of curriculum documents and instructional guidelines. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, verification, and triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The results indicate that curriculum planning is grounded in the principle of tawhid and the characteristics of the SIT curriculum, involving the participation of multiple stakeholders. The curriculum is implemented through the integration of the national curriculum, SIT graduate competency standards, and the pesantren curriculum, and is strengthened by flagship programs such as Qur’anic memorization (tahfidz), language development, and leadership training. Evaluation is conducted through observation, self-assessment, and the active involvement of teachers and parents. The implementation of the SIT curriculum contributes to the development of students’ Islamic character, particularly in the values of shidiq, amanah, tabligh, fathanah, and istiqamah. These character traits are cultivated through formal learning processes, non-formal activities, teacher role modeling, and school culture. However, several challenges were identified, including difficulties in aligning learning outcomes across multiple curricula, limited teacher readiness, misperceptions in practice, and inconsistencies in assessment. These findings present an effective model of Islamic character education at SMAIT Al Uswah Tuban. They not only reinforce theoretical perspectives on Islamic education and character formation within a tripartite curriculum integration framework but also provide practical contributions to curriculum implementation models in pesantren-based schools for similar institutions. Further research employing quantitative or comparative approaches is recommended to enhance the validity and generalizability of the findings.
Business performance is an important indicator in assessing the success and sustainability of companies amid increasingly dynamic business competition. Market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and marketing capabilities are seen as strategic resources that have the potential to improve business performance, but previous empirical findings still show mixed results. These differences indicate the need for explanatory mechanisms, one of which is through absorptive capacity. This study focuses on how market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and marketing capabilities affect business performance, as well as the role of absorptive capacity in mediating this relationship. This study aims to analyze the direct effects of market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and marketing capabilities on business performance, as well as to examine the mediating role of absorptive capacity. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey design. Primary data were collected through questionnaires administered to business actors and analyzed using Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and marketing capabilities have a positive and significant effect on business performance. In addition, absorptive capacity has a positive effect on business performance and is proven to play a significant mediating role in the relationship between market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and marketing capabilities on business performance. These findings confirm that strengthening absorptive capacity as a company's dynamic ability to absorb and utilize external knowledge is key to improving business performance in a sustainable manner
This study evaluates the implementation of the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (S-SDLC) and examines the effectiveness of software project management based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) version 3 at PT Magicsoft Teknologi Indonesia. A qualitative research approach was employed using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation analysis. Empirical findings were triangulated and mapped against S-SDLC indicators and twelve CMMI v3 Practice Areas (PAs) grouped into Doing, Managing, and Enabling. The findings indicate that S-SDLC has been integrated throughout the software development lifecycle, positioning security as a built-in process rather than a reactive add-on. Security-relevant practices collectively enhance software quality, system stability, and preventive security governance. With regard to project management effectiveness, the study shows that most PAs reached Capability Level 3 (Defined), reflecting a mature level of process standardization at the project level. However, effectiveness was more prominent in terms of quality, security, and process control, while schedule performance faced pressure due to workload imbalances and resource capacity constraints. These findings highlight that software project effectiveness is inherently multidimensional and cannot be assessed solely through schedule adherence. The study contributes to theory by demonstrating that CMMI v3 can serve as an evaluative framework compatible with S-SDLC and enriches project management discourse by positioning security as an integral dimension of process effectiveness. Practically, the study provides a fit-for-purpose internal evaluation framework for software development organizations seeking to improve process maturity without formal appraisal.
Transformasi digital perpajakan melalui implementasi Coretax pada tahun 2026 merupakan langkah penting pemerintah untuk meningkatkan efisiensi administrasi dan kepatuhan wajib pajak. Namun, perubahan dari e-Filing ke Coretax menimbulkan berbagai masalah, terutama rendahnya literasi digital wajib pajak dan keterbatasan kapasitas pelayanan di Kantor Pelayanan, Penyuluhan, dan Konsultasi Perpajakan (KP2KP) Bangil. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan kepatuhan wajib pajak melalui pendampingan pelaporan SPT Tahunan wajib pajak orang pribadi berbasis Coretax oleh Relawan Pajak. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan dalam empat tahapan, yaitu observasi, persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Pada tahap pelaksanaan, relawan memberikan asistensi langsung kepada wajib pajak orang pribadi secara one-on-one, mulai dari proses login, pengisian data, validasi, hingga pengiriman SPT dan penerbitan Bukti Penerimaan Elektronik (BPE). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa program Relawan Pajak efektif membantu wajib pajak dalam memahami penggunaan Coretax dan menyelesaikan pelaporan SPT Tahunan lebih cepat dan tepat. Jumlah wajib pajak yang berhasil didampingi mencapai 4.862 orang, meningkat signifikan dari 2.966 wajib pajak di periode sebelumnya. Selain itu, kesalahan pengisian SPT menurun dan kepuasan wajib pajak terhadap pelayanan meningkat. Kendala yang dihadapi meliputi keterbatasan jumlah relawan, gangguan teknis sistem, dan rendahnya kemampuan digital sebagian masyarakat. Secara keseluruhan, program Relawan Pajak berkontribusi positif dalam meningkatkan kepatuhan formal wajib pajak dan mendukung keberhasilan implementasi Coretax di KP2KP Bangil.
