Abstract:Character education in elementary schools plays a crucial role in shaping the morals and personalities of the younger generation, especially amidst the rapid development of technology and increasingly complex global challenges.…
lenges. This study aims to identify the challenges and opportunities in implementing character education through a qualitative descriptive approach via literature review. Based on the analysis of literature, including books, journals, and scientific articles, it was found that the main challenges in character education include the negative impact of technological advancements, social and economic inequality, lack of teacher training, and limited parental involvement. On the other hand, the modern era also presents significant opportunities, such as utilizing technology for interactive learning, integrating local, national, and global values through digital media, and fostering collaboration among schools, families, and communities. Additionally, the development of relevant and flexible curricula is also an important factor in supporting character education. Although the challenges are considerable, character education in elementary schools can be optimized by implementing innovative strategies, strengthening collaboration among various stakeholders, and wisely utilizing technology. This research offers recommendations to educators, policymakers, and the community to work together in supporting the achievement of character education goals, so that the younger generation can grow with integrity and adaptability to the changing times.

nd violence against women, including through religious interpretation. In many instances, religion inadvertently reinforces gender inequality through scriptural interpretations that are predominantly shaped by male perspectives and patriarchal structures. Therefore, a hermeneutical approach is required, one capable of deconstructing such biases and rearticulating the voices of women in a just manner. This study aims to interpret Song of Songs 3:1-5 through the lens of feminist literary criticism, specifically employing the “woman as reader” approach developed by Elaine Showalter. This approach emphasizes the experiences, voices, and agency of women as subjects within the text. Through the stages of interpretation, narrative deconstruction, and critical evaluation, the analysis reveals that the female character in this passage is portrayed as an autonomous individual who demonstrates initiative and actively expresses her love and longing. This representation subtly challenges patriarchal constructions that traditionally position women as passive objects in gender relations. On the other hand, the text also opens a reflective space to examine how women, consciously or unconsciously, may contribute to the perpetuation of systems that oppress them. Consequently, a feminist reading of Song of Songs not only unveils the emancipatory potential within the biblical text but also offers a critical and transformative hermeneutical framework. This represents an effort to reclaim a gender-just theological space and to reimagine sacred scripture as a site of both spiritual and social struggle toward justice and equality.

oblem focuses on the extent of e-counseling effectiveness, the level of service accessibility for the community, and the key challenges influencing its implementation. The study employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review method of 25 reputable scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The synthesis results indicate that e-counseling demonstrates a high level of effectiveness, reflected in service flexibility (92%), client openness (88%), cost efficiency (85%), satisfaction level (81%), and intervention success rate (76%), particularly for mild to moderate cases. The accessibility aspect also shows significant achievements, including ease of access (90%), expanded geographical reach (87%), and reduced social stigma (83%), thereby reinforcing the role of e-counseling as an inclusive alternative solution. Nevertheless, implementation still faces several challenges, such as limitations in nonverbal communication, data security risks, digital inequality, and low technological competence among counselors. The findings conclude that e-counseling is a strategic innovation that is both effective and adaptive; however, it requires adequate infrastructure support, improved digital literacy, and appropriate regulatory frameworks to ensure optimal and sustainable implementation. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach, which simultaneously examines effectiveness and accessibility alongside the technical, psychological, and structural factors influencing them, resulting in a more comprehensive analytical framework compared to previous studies that tend to be partial.

oms and other supporting infrastructure. The results of the selection that are not transparent in deciding the feasibility of rehabilitation and construction of elementary school buildings are often subjective and time-consuming. This causes decisions to be taken that cannot be made as quickly as possible and inequality, where schools that actually need rehabilitation more do not get priority for rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to implement data mining in the selection of school building construction projects with the K-Means clustering algorithm in clustering the feasibility of rehabilitation of elementary school building construction. The results of this study found 31 elementary schools that are eligible for school building construction rehabilitation and 4 are not eligible for school building construction rehabilitation. This study is expected to provide a significant contribution in increasing the efficiency of school building construction selection and more transparency towards elementary school buildings to be rehabilitated.

Abstrak: Pembangunan gedung sekolah ialah bagian penting dalam sarana dan prasarana pendidikan. Banyak gedung Sekolah Dasar di Kabupaten Asahan menderita kerusakan, tidak layak pakai atau kekurangan fasilitas meliputi ruang kelas dan infrastruktur pendukung lainnya. Hasil penyeleksian yang bersifat tidak transparan dalam memutuskan kelayakan rehabilitasi dan pembangunan gedung Sekolah Dasar sering kali bersifat subjektif dan memakan waktu lama.Hal tersebut menyebabkan keputusan yang diambil tidak dapat dilakukan secepat mungkin serta ketimpangan, dimana sekolah yang sebenarnya lebih membutuhkan rehabilitasi justru tidak mendapatkan prioritas untuk direhabilitasi. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengimplementasi data mining pada pemilihan proyek pembangunan gedung sekolah dengan algoritma K-Means clustering dalam mengcluster kelayakan rehabilitasi pembangunan gedung sekolah dasar. Hasil Penelitian ini terdapat 31 sekolah dasar layak untuk direhabilitasi pembangunan gedung sekolah dan 4 tidak layak untuk direhabalitasi pembangunan gedung sekolah. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam menaikkan efisiensi penyeleksian pembangunan gedung sekolah dan lebih transparansi terhadap gedung sekolah dasar yang akan direhabilitasi.
