Using a qualitative research method through literature review, this study analyzes various literatures related to the philosophy of science, educational technology, and the development of Christian Religious Education in the context of digitalization. The results show that the philosophy of science is an important foundation for understanding and integrating digital technology without neglecting Christian faith values. This educational transformation brings a paradigm shift that demands the adaptation of methods and learning media to be more relevant and effective in addressing the challenges of the digital era. Furthermore, the study identifies various challenges such as digital ethics and the risk of individualism that educators and learners must face. However, the digital era also opens great opportunities for the development of innovative learning media that can enhance the quality and attractiveness of Christian Religious Education. The philosophical implications of this transformation emphasize the importance of maintaining spiritual and moral integrity in educational practice, so that the younger generation is not only intellectually intelligent but also strong in faith and character. In conclusion, the transformation of Christian Religious Education in the digital era must be based on the philosophy of science to create an adaptive education rooted in Christian values</em></p> Robinhot Sihombing, Samuelson Halomoan, Masriana Silitonga, Sumingse Eunike, Josep Lumbantoruan Copyright (c) 2026 Robinhot Sihombing, Samuelson Halomoan, Masriana Silitonga, Sumingse Eunike, Josep Lumbantoruan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/4925 Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Manajemen keuangan pendidikan: perspektif kajian literatur terhadap efektivitas pengelolaan dana sekolah https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/4076 <p><em>Educational financial management plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of educational services provided in schools. Effective management of school funds ensures that resources are utilized efficiently, supports the achievement of educational goals, and fosters trust among stakeholders. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of school fund management through a comprehensive literature review, focusing on key aspects such as transparency, accountability, and good governance. Using a qualitative approach, this study reviews previous research on school fund management and its impact on educational outcomes. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of school fund management is strongly influenced by the managerial competence of school principals, active community involvement, and the consistent application of principles of good governance. Furthermore, accountable and transparent reporting mechanisms are essential in preventing fund misuse, enhancing stakeholder confidence, and promoting sustainable educational development. This study recommends strengthening financial management capacity in schools through regular training, technical assistance, and continuous supervision. The insights gained from this research are expected to provide guidance for policymakers and school administrators to improve the management and utilization of education funds at the school level.</em></p> Muhammad Redha, Zubaidah, Hayati Copyright (c) 2026 Muhammad Redha, Zubaidah, Hayati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/4076 Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Penyebab malas belajar siswa sekolah dasar: kajian pustaka https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/6312 <p>This paper discusses the causes of laziness in learning among elementary school students through a literature‑based (desk study) approach. Using 14 scientific references, the study classifies the causes into internal factors such as limited cognitive abilities, low motivation, poor self‑regulation, fear of failure, negative mood, and unhealthy lifestyle, and external factors such as ineffective teaching methods, parental neglect, unsupportive school climate, peer influence, and excessive use of social media and digital devices. The analysis reveals that laziness is not simply personal weakness but a complex consequence of cognitive, emotional, social, and contextual interaction. The article concludes that addressing laziness in learning requires a holistic strategy, integrating pedagogical adjustments, parental involvement, emotional support, and habit‑forming learning routines. This study is expected to provide a theoretical basis for teachers, parents, and educational practitioners in designing interventions to reduce academic laziness and improve elementary students’ learning engagement</p> Sudarto Copyright (c) 2026 Sudarto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/6312 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 03:43:32 +0000 Manajemen guru dalam meningkatkan kompetensi pengelolaan kelas tahfizh pada pondok pesantren al-hayah jakarta timur https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/5479 <p><em>Teachers should ideally possess good classroom management competence, because with this competence teachers are able to create a conducive learning environment, maintain order, reduce problems of student misbehavior, encourage student motivation and achievement, build student participation and collaboration, as well as improve the effectiveness of meaningful teaching and learning processes, so that the development of students’ potential and the learning objectives can be achieved optimally. Teacher management is one way to improve teachers’ competence in managing the classroom. Therefore, this research aims to analyze and discover the effectiveness of teacher management in improving classroom management competence in the tahfizh program at Pondok Pesantren Al-Hayah, East Jakarta. The method used in this research is the survey method with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and in-depth document studies with the pesantren leaders, Qismul Qur’an, and tahfizh teachers, as well as documentation of teaching and learning activities, while data analysis was carried out through a triangulation approach with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this research show that teacher management which is adaptive to the cultural context of the pesantren and based on spiritual values has proven effective in improving classroom management competence in the tahfizh program, especially under conditions of limited access to formal education and training</em></p> EE.Junaedi Sastradiharja, Khasnah Syaidah, Roswaidah Copyright (c) 2026 Junaedi Sastradiharja, Khasnah Syaidah, Roswaidah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/5479 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 09:28:01 +0000 Pendekatan culturally responsive teaching (CRT) diintegrasikan dengan pendekatan teaching at the right level (TRAL) dalam pembelajaran di SMPN 5 jember https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/5160 <p><em>Learning using the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach integrated with the Teaching at The Right Level (TaRL) approach is considered to be quite influential not only on the development of students' knowledge but also on the formation of students' cultural identity. This research is based on the decline in cultural understanding of the nation's generations because education has so far only been oriented toward students' cognitive development, so there is a need for learning that can integrate understanding of culture as national identity and students' cognitive development. This research will reveal how the TaRL-integrated CRT approach is implemented in teachers' efforts to provide meaningful learning to students. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach by conducting interviews with teachers who apply both approaches. Apart from interviews with teachers, this research was also carried out by giving questionnaires to students. The results of this research show the importance of preparing a Learning Implementation Plan (RPP) as a teacher's effort to realize learning that is by these two approaches. After that, the teacher prepares a diagnostic assessment to analyze students' learning needs. At the diagnostic assessment stage, it shows that some teachers still feel confused about the diagnostic assessment instruments and some students are not ready to learn so the results of the diagnostic assessment are less effective. Next, namely the student grouping stage, the teacher provides differentiated tasks based on the results of the student diagnostic assessment analysis. The next stage is the learning stage, where the teacher will provide learning that is appropriate to local culture to provide meaningful learning. The result is that learning is more effective and enjoyable because it is to the students' local culture. The benefit is that students can also take positive values </em><em>​​</em><em>to apply in their daily lives.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Mohammad Zyainullah, Moh.

In this study, academic resilience is focused on students’ ability to maintain their commitment, emotional adaptation, and optimal performance when facing task loads and academic stress, while simultaneously maintaining their mental well‑being during their university years.The research design employed is a quantitative descriptive study using a cross‑sectional survey approach, with a census sample consisting of all students in the class (28 people). Data were collected through a questionnaire measuring seven resilience indicators: accuracy in completing assignments, punctuality in submitting assignments, enthusiasm in doing assignments, completion of assignments according to criteria, creativity in completing assignments, perceived difficulty in completing assignments, and the reasons or awareness underlying the act of doing assignments. Each indicator has a maximum score of 15; the scores were then converted into percentages and analyzed using descriptive statistics.The results show that the average resilience score of students is 12.60, or 84.0% of the maximum score, indicating that, in general, the students demonstrate a “good” to “nearly very good” level of resilience. The highest‑scoring indicator is “reasons or awareness in doing the task” (94.3%), followed by “perceived difficulty in completing the task” (85.0%), suggesting that students are highly aware of the meaning of assignments and do not perceive them as overly heavy. Other indicators such as enthusiasm, completeness, and creativity fall within the range of 82.6–84.0%, while the indicators of accuracy in completing assignments (79.5%) and timeliness in submitting assignments (78.8%) emerged as aspects that still need strengthening. Thus, this study concludes that students in this class possess relatively have strong resilience, but improvements are needed in terms of accuracy and time discipline so that the quality of their learning outcomes and academic work habits become more mature</p> Sudarto Copyright (c) 2026 Sudarto Sudarto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://ojs.cahayamandalika.com/index.php/teacher/article/view/6309 Sat, 25 Apr 2026 15:27:08 +0000
