ANDI REZKY NURHIDAYA — 2024-09-30

This dissertation aims to: (1) Describe teachers' pedagogical competence at Raudhatul Atfhal in designing and implementing educational activities using Science Technology Society (STS); (2) Analyze the use of technology and communication through STS; (3) Evaluate students' learning outcomes based on teachers' pedagogical competence.

This qualitative research uncovers the pedagogical competence of RA teachers in applying STS, using observations, interviews, and documentation. Four teachers from RA Mardhati and Hasirah Home School participated. Data analysis followed steps of condensation, presentation, and conclusion. Findings show that RA Mardhati and Hasirah teachers demonstrate strong competence in planning, implementing, utilizing ICT, and evaluating learning outcomes. Teachers at RA Mardhati create supportive and dynamic learning environments, while Hasirah teachers plan structured lessons through daily and weekly plans. The use of ICT (e.g., Wi-Fi, laptops) enhances the learning process, making it more engaging and interactive. Teachers evaluate learning daily and report progress comprehensively, focusing on both process and outcomes. The implications emphasize the need for continued development of pedagogical competence. RA institutions should support teacher training to adapt teaching methods to students' needs. Teachers are encouraged to enhance professionalism through external training. Future research should explore deeper variations of methods to provide a more comprehensive understanding of pedagogical competence at RA.

The CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN CAMBODIA

Yamuna Sithambalam — 2024-09-30

This paper aims to examine relevant literatures to identify critical success factors for sustainable entrepreneurship in Cambodia and further develop a conceptual framework for future methodological research. This study begins with the review of literatures that outlined success factors for sustainable development before examining the critical success factors for sustainable entrepreneurship. A crucial finding from literature shows that there is inconsistency between the success factors for sustainable development and sustainable entrepreneurship despite some literatures identifying sustainable entrepreneurship as a business model being built based on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The main sources of inconsistencies are the various stages of economic development and government policies across the countries being researched. Gaudemar (2016) mentioned despite having made progress in advancing development, Cambodia is unlikely to ‘graduate’ from its Least Developed Country (LDC) status till 2025 and beyond. There is probability that the framework will be a valuable tool for meticulous analysis and evaluation of critical success factors for sustainable entrepreneurship in Cambodia. The limitation of this study is that the model is purely conceptual and requires further validation with in-depth methodological research.

Implications of Childless Families in the Qur'an

Anggun Anggun — 2024-09-30

This paper examines the implications of childless families in the view of the Qur'an. This type of research uses library research, namely activities to find and collect information related to the Qur'anic view of the childfree phenomenon in marriage, using written materials such as books, documents, journal articles, previous research results, and other scientific works related to the topic of the problem. The results show that childless families in the view of the Qur'an can lead to the emergence of various negative impacts that will be experienced by families if there is no birth of children in the family. These negative impacts include; the loss of heart conditioning, the loss of blessings from a child for his parents, life will feel empty, and not including a complete family. Parents should know the nature and privilege of children in the family because it can be a side of luck for parents and their families. To avoid the negative impacts of childfree families, every married couple needs to consider a number of these negative impacts so that they can change their stance from a pro-childfree family to a family that wants offspring because children are very useful for a family.

Micro and Small Business Owners' Reluctance towards Halal Certification in Culinary Sector

Wahyuninsi Wahyuninsi — 2024-09-30

This study investigates the reluctance of micro and small business actors towards halal certification in the culinary sector, as well as the influencing factors. Data were collected through questionnaires, documents, literature, and secondary data from 218 respondents in South Sulawesi. The analysis employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) Path Modeling approach using SmartPLS 4. Findings indicate a strong relationship between Lack of Socialization and Reluctance towards Halal Certification, weak subjective norms influencing decisions, as well as low intentions and trust levels. Low halal literacy also poses a constraint. There is a necessity for intensive socialization programs and social interactions influencing positive participation in adopting halal certification. This research provides profound insights for development strategies and policies aimed at enhancing the participation of micro and small business actors in the culinary sector, supporting the Islamic/Sharia economy, particularly in halal culinary businesses.
