The impact of creativity and PKWU learning achievement on entrepreneurial interest among high school students

Allimatus Sadiyah — 2025-07-31

This study investigates the influence of creativity and Prakarya dan Kewirausahaan (PKWU) learning achievement on entrepreneurial interest among high school students in Indonesia, where youth unemployment remains high despite curriculum reforms aimed at fostering entrepreneurship. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), data were analyzed from 235 grade 12 students at a Depok high school through validated questionnaires and academic records. Results revealed that both creativity and PKWU learning achievement significantly and positively influence entrepreneurial interest, with PKWU learning achievement demonstrating a substantially stronger impact (β = 0.567, p < 0.001) compared to creativity (β = 0.311, p = 0.005). These findings indicate that while creativity contributes meaningfully to entrepreneurial aspirations, practical entrepreneurship education through PKWU has a more direct and substantial effect on students' career interests. The study concludes that educational institutions should prioritize integrating hands-on entrepreneurial experiences alongside creativity
development to effectively cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets. The results provide evidence for strengthening practical components in entrepreneurship curricula and suggest that structured business skills training may be more influential than general creative development in fostering student interest in entrepreneurship as a viable career path.

Clause structure and distribution changes: A translation analysis of adjective clauses in the kite runner

Rika Erlin Dewi — 2025-07-31

This study analyzes the translation of English adjective clauses into Indonesian in The Kite Runner by Hosseini (2003) and its translation by Nugrahani (2008). Using Chesterman's (2000) translation strategies framework, this descriptive analytical study explores how syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic translation strategies are applied to adapt complex English grammatical structures to Indonesian. The study focuses on identifying the strategies employed—such as literal translation, transposition, unit-shift, synonymy, antonymy, and cultural adaptation—and evaluating their effectiveness in preserving the meaning of the source text while ensuring accuracy, readability, and fluency in the target text. The findings show that syntactic strategies, including literal translation and transposition, were commonly used to accommodate the structural differences between the two languages, while semantic and pragmatic strategies were employed to enhance readability and cultural relevance. The quality of the translation was assessed using Nida and Taber’s (1982) principles of dynamic equivalence, with high ratings in accuracy and readability. This study contributes to translation practice by offering insights into effective strategies for translating adjective clauses across languages with divergent grammatical rules and suggests directions for future research on clause translation in various genres.

Naufal Rizqullah — 2025-07-31

This study aims to measure the effect of mathematical beliefs, self-regilated learning, self-efficacy on mathematics learning achievement in mathematics. This study was conducted in public and private junior high schools in Serang City. The research method used was a survey. The population of this study was all junior high school students in Serang City, Banten Province, Indonesia. The sample in this study was 394 students. The sample selection was carried out in stages, starting with the selection of schools based on their accreditation using quota sampling. Furthermore, classes were selected from each school accreditation using cluster sampling. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires on mathematical beliefs, self-regulated learning and self-efficacy, and a list of final semester exam scores for the 2023-2024 academic year. The data collected were then analyzed using a partial least square - structural equation model (PLS-SEM) approach. The results obtained in this study were a structural equation model that describes the effect of mathematical beliefs, self-regulated learning, self-efficacy on mathematics learning achievement. The goodness of fit test showed that the model was classified as appropriate. The model shows that the variables that relative large effect on mathematics learning achievement are self-efficacy and self-regulated learning.

Analysis of the influence of hadith methodology in the scientific method development: A study of the biography and writings of Ibn al-Haytham

Bryan Pandu Permana — 2025-07-31

This study explores the influence of Hadith methodology on the development of science through the study of the biography and works of Ibn al-Haytham. The research aims to identify the scientific methodologies used in Hadith studies and analyze their relevance and impact on Ibn al-Haytham's scientific approach. The Methods that used by this reseach are by examining comparative study of both methods with analyze from timeline background from historical sources and Ibn al-Haytham’s books. The study reveals significant parallels between the rigorous validation processes in Hadith methodology and the methods employed by Ibn al-Haytham in his scientific inquiries. The findings suggest that the principles of verification and validation in Hadith studies may have influenced the development of systematic scientific methods in science particularly in the works of Ibn al-Haytham. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between Islamic religious scholarship and the evolution of scientific thought.

The role of educational institutions in preserving the Malay language: Insights from the Patani ethnic community in southern Thailand

Bastian Yunariono — 2025-07-31

For over a century, the Thai government's assimilationist policies have hindered the development of the Patani people’s cultural identity, which blends Malay and Islamic cultures. These cultural impediment is reflected in the language as the Patani have experienced a decline in their ability to use the Malay language as a marker of their identity. This study aims to explain the role of educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), private Islamic schools (madrasah), and kindergartens (tadika) in preserving the Malay language. This study employed a qualitative research method, utilizing library resources such as journals, books, reports, and websites. The results indicated that these educational institutions play a significant role in preserving the Malay language among the Patani. By using Malay as a means of communication and as a subject of study in these educational institutions, the Patani ethnic identity can be preserved.

Political reforms in the gulf states: Responses from Indonesia

Hasbi Aswar — 2025-07-31

Over the years, there has been a revolution in political reforms in the Gulf Countries. These reforms involve the promotion of tolerance, increased expression, and the position of women, breaking down traditional Islamic values, and assuming more liberal Western ideologies. The reforms also include the empowerment of women, trimming the powers vested in the religious police, and promoting moderate Islam. This study seeks to elaborate on the responses of the Indonesian government and Muslim figures toward political reforms. This study uses a qualitative method by collecting secondary data from online sources and analyzing the Indonesian government and figures responses to the Gulf countries religious reforms. The study found an enthusiastic response from the government level to the reforms through regular visits and event collaboration between Indonesia and the Gulf especially with Saudi Arabia. On the one hand, Muslim figures responded to it not so enthusiastically and only limited comments by several figures from different Islamic groups in Indonesia.
