Penerapan Pembelajaran Mendalam (Deep Learning) pada Fase Bdi SD Negeri 81 Palembang sebagai Strategi Penguatan Kurikulum Merdeka
The Merdeka Curriculum demands meaningful, student-centered learning; however, in practice, many elementary school teachers have yet to optimally implement innovative instructional approaches that foster higher-order thinking skills. The core problem of this study is how Deep Learning strategies can be effectively applied to Phase B students at SD Negeri 81 Palembang to support the Merdeka Curriculum implementation. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design within the framework of the Teaching Practicum Program (PLP). Students served as participatory observers and instructional implementers. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and instructional document analysis. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Deep Learning implementation in Phase B significantly improved higher-order thinking skills, active student engagement, and character development aligned with the Pancasila Student Profile. Teachers successfully transitioned from instructors to facilitators designing project-based, inquiry-driven, and reflective learning experiences. Challenges include limited teacher understanding, scarce adaptive instructional materials, and the need for a supportive school ecosystem. This study concludes that Deep Learning is an effective strategy for strengthening Merdeka Curriculum implementation in elementary schools, and PLP activities serve as a valid context for examining learning phenomena contextually.

Analisis Penerapan Kedisiplinan dan Manajemen Kelas Pada Siswa Fase A Selama PLP di SD Negeri 81 Palembang
This study aims to analyze the implementation of discipline and classroom management among Phase A students during the School Field Introduction Program (PLP) at SD Negeri 81 Palembang. The study employed a qualitative approach using direct observation during classroom learning activities. The findings revealed that students' discipline was still at an early stage of development, as indicated by behaviors such as lack of focus, frequent talking during lessons, and inconsistency in following classroom rules. Classroom management was implemented through the organization of the learning environment, time management, and instructional interactions. The discipline strategies applied included routine habituation, the establishment of simple classroom rules, and the provision of positive reinforcement. Furthermore, the study found that enjoyable and humanistic approaches were more effective in enhancing student engagement and discipline than authoritarian approaches. Internal factors, such as age, motivation, and students’ emotional conditions, as well as external factors, including teachers’ instructional styles and the learning environment, influenced the effectiveness of discipline implementation. Therefore, it can be concluded that successful learning in lower elementary grades is highly dependent on teachers’ ability to manage classrooms flexibly, communicate effectively, and foster students’ character development in a gradual and sustainable manner.

Pengembangan Soft Skills Siswa Berbasis Kebutuhan Dunia Kerja
Soft skills are as important as hard skills because they play a crucial role in determining individual success in the workplace by enhancing work effectiveness and social interaction. However, the development of students’ soft skills is often not yet fully aligned with the demands of the world of work. This study aims to examine the development of students’ soft skills based on workplace needs to improve their readiness and professional competence. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method by analyzing relevant books, journals, and scientific articles. The findings indicate that soft skills development in schools must be carried out systematically, contextually, and aligned with job market requirements alongside hard skills development. Soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and adaptability are essential competencies that must be strengthened. In conclusion, systematic soft skills development can produce graduates who are not only academically competent but also possess strong character, social skills, and job readiness aligned with contemporary demands.

Representasi Peradaban Islam dalam Sistem Kecerdasan Buatan Generatif: Analisis Historis terhadap Produksi Pengetahuan Digital Kontemporer
Perkembangan kecerdasan buatan generatif telah mengubah lanskap produksi pengetahuan digital secara fundamental. Artikel ini menganalisis bagaimana sistem AI generatif merepresentasikan peradaban Islam dalam proses produksi pengetahuan digital kontemporer. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode analisis wacana kritis dan arkeologi pengetahuan Foucault, penelitian ini meneliti tiga sistem AI generatif utama: Gemini, ChatGPT-4, dan Copilot. Data dikumpulkan melalui prompt sistematis yang dirancang untuk mengekstrak representasi tentang filsafat Islam, sains peradaban Islam, dan kontribusi epistemologis Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem AI generatif cenderung merepresentasikan peradaban Islam melalui kerangka orientalisme digital, di mana capaian historis disajikan secara dekontekstualisasi sementara dimensi kontemporer mengalami reduksi sistematis. Temuan ini mengonfirmasi adanya reproduksi bias epistemik kolonial dalam arsitektur AI generatif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya pengembangan korpus data representatif dan partisipasi aktif komunitas akademik Islam dalam proses alignment AI.

Rekonstruksi Pengorganisasian Sekolah dan Nilai-Nilai Islam: Prespektif Henry Mintzberg
Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi konsep pengorganisasian sekolah berdasarkan teori konfigurasi organisasi Henry Mintzberg dengan mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai Islam sebagai landasan normatif dan spiritual dalam pengelolaan lembaga pendidikan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis library research yang bersumber dari karya-karya Henry Mintzberg, literatur manajemen pendidikan Islam, serta berbagai penelitian relevan. Data dianalisis menggunakan teknik content analysis melalui proses reduksi, penyajian, dan sintesis data untuk menghasilkan model konseptual yang integratif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsep pengorganisasian Mintzberg yang menekankan struktur organisasi, pembagian kerja, koordinasi, dan distribusi kewenangan dapat direkonstruksi melalui nilai-nilai Islam seperti amanah, syura, keadilan, ukhuwah, profesionalisme, dan tanggung jawab moral. Integrasi tersebut menghasilkan model organisasi sekolah yang menempatkan kepala sekolah sebagai pemimpin manajerial sekaligus teladan moral, guru sebagai pelaksana pendidikan dan pembentuk karakter, serta musyawarah sebagai mekanisme utama koordinasi organisasi. Model ini mampu menggabungkan efektivitas struktural dengan pembinaan budaya organisasi Islami sehingga menciptakan sekolah yang adaptif, profesional, berkarakter, dan berorientasi pada pembentukan peserta didik yang unggul secara intelektual, moral, dan spiritual.

Differences In Social Habits Between British And American People
This research examines the differences in social habits between British and American societies in four main aspects: communication style, attitude toward time, politeness, and patterns of social interaction, with implications for English language learning in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-method design, primary data were collected thru in-depth interviews with 15 key informants (British-American expatriates in Indonesia) and observations of 12 authentic video vlogs, supplemented by a review of 30 peer-reviewed journals (2015–2026). The results show that the British apply indirect-formal communication (understatements, sarcasm), moderate punctuality with a sacred queuing culture, traditional restraint in politeness, and slow interaction via small talk about the weather; conversely, Americans are direct-explicit (open praise), absolute time-is-money, friendly-informal politeness (small talk, touch), and quick networking. The findings align with Edward T. Hall's theory of high-context (British) vs low-context culture (American) and Hofstede's dimensions. The contribution of the research is the development of cultural code-switching for Indonesian EFL learners to reduce cross-cultural misunderstandings, with recommendations for role-play scenarios and AI digital modules. Future research is suggested to include field ethnography in the UK-US.

Analisis Buku Ajar Bahasa Arab Modern Dalam Perspektif Kurikulum Merdeka: Studi Kualitatif Pada Mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Arab
This study analyzes modern Arabic textbooks from the perspective of the Merdeka Curriculum. The problem addressed is the inconsistency between textbook content and the curriculum principles of flexibility, student-centered learning, contextual relevance, and differentiated instruction. This research aims to examine the suitability of textbook content, teaching approaches, assessment, and language-skill integration with the Merdeka Curriculum framework. A qualitative descriptive method with a library research and content analysis approach was employed. Data were collected through documentation and literature review of Arabic language textbooks and supporting academic references.

Dampak Penggunaan Gadget Terhadap Konsentrasi dan Hasil Belajar Siswa Sekolah Dasar
Nowadays, digital technology is advancing so quickly that gadgets have become a normal part of everyday life, even for young children in elementary school. According to data from the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association, internet usage among kids aged 5 to 12 years has been steadily rising. The core issue is that when children use gadgets too often without anyone watching over them, their ability to concentrate may suffer and their school performance may drop. The goal of this study is to examine how gadget use affects both the concentration and academic results of elementary school students. This research uses a library study approach with qualitative methods. Information was gathered by reviewing various academic sources such as journals and books. The data were then analyzed using qualitative content analysis, which involves reducing the data, presenting it, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that gadget use has two different sides. On the positive side, gadgets make it easier for students to access digital learning materials. On the negative side, using gadgets excessively without supervision tends to lower concentration and reduce learning outcomes because students spend less time on effective studying. The consequences include falling grades and becoming dependent on gadgets. In conclusion, gadgets are not automatically harmful. It all depends on how they are used and how much guidance children receive from their parents and teachers.

A Cross Cultural Understanding of English-Speaking Cultures: British, American, Australian, and Canadian Perspectives
The findings reveal that each culture possesses its unique communication techniques, shaped by its social and historical context. American culture values directness, originality, and efficiency in communication, whereas British culture prioritises politeness and indirectness. Canadian culture is a mixture of civility and multicultural awareness, but Australian culture is characterised by informality, humour and equality. Such differences have a real impact on how people use English in everyday life, including how they communicate their ideas, make requests, and relate to others. Ignoring cultural context when using language might lead to misunderstandings. Therefore, attaining effective communication requires cultural awareness. This study emphasises how crucial it is to incorporate cultural awareness into English language instruction to foster intercultural competency. In conclusion, English is not culturally neutral, and being aware of cultural differences can enhance communication in international settings.
