Niken Ristianah, M. Munir, Juni Iswanto, Akhmat Fanani Ridho, Toha Ma'sum, Syaiful Muda'i, M. Burhanuddin Ubaidillah
Abstract: This study investigates the formation and sustenance of a Green Organizational Culture within Islamic schools, focusing on the pivotal role of teachers' akhlak (ethical character) and their exemplary behavior (qudwah hasanah)… anah) as the primary drivers. A Green Organizational Culture is defined as a shared set of values, beliefs, and practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, sustainability, and ecological responsibility as integral to the school's identity and daily operations. Employing an ethnographic case study approach, this research was conducted at two Islamic secondary schools recognized for their proactive environmental programs. Data were gathered through prolonged observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of school artifacts. Findings reveal that teacher akhlak—manifested as personal environmental mindfulness, consistency between words and actions, and moral motivation rooted in Islamic teachings—is the cornerstone for authentic cultural change. Teachers who embody green values act as transformative agents, legitimizing environmental norms, inspiring student imitation, and embedding sustainability into the hidden curriculum. The study concludes that institutional green policies are insufficient without the cultivation of akhlak-based environmental ethics among educators. It proposes a model of "Akhlak-Based Eco-Pedagogy" for teacher development.

Miftahul Janah, Roza Ghozwatul Fauziah, Qurrotul 'Aini, Eva Varkatun Nazilah, Niken Ristianah
Abstract: This study explores the implementation of Green Technology (Greentech) in the dual domains of administrative management and pedagogical processes within Islamic education institutions (madrasahs, Islamic schools, and pesantren).… antren). It investigates the potential of Greentech—encompassing energy-efficient hardware, paperless systems, cloud computing, digital learning platforms, and IoT-based resource monitoring—to reduce environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency and learning outcomes. Employing a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the research first surveyed a broad sample of institutions to map adoption levels, followed by in-depth case studies of early adopters. Findings indicate significant potential for reducing carbon footprint and operational costs through virtualization of services, e-learning integration, and smart facility management. However, major challenges persist, including high initial investment, digital literacy gaps among educators, concerns over technology's influence on traditional Islamic pedagogy (talaqqi), and inadequate technological infrastructure. The study concludes that a strategic, values-driven approach aligning Greentech adoption with maqashid sharia (particularly hifdz al-mal/resource preservation) is crucial. It presents a phased integration model that prioritizes technologies offering both environmental and educational benefits, advocating for a balanced fusion of technological efficiency and the preservation of relational, character-based Islamic learning.

KONVERGENSI DAN DIVERGENSI TAZKIYATUN NAFS DAN CHARACTER STRENGTHS: SINTESIS UNTUK PENGEMBANGAN KARAKTER HOLISTIK

Aina Noor Habibah, Misbachul Munir, Moh. Hasan Fauzi, Bayu Fermadi, Akhmad Ali Said, Moch. Bashori Alwi, Yuni Pangestutiani, Nur Rahma Shanty
Abstract: Tinjauan sistematis ini mengkaji titik-titik konvergensi dan divergensi antara konsep Tasawuf tazkiyatun nafs (penyucian jiwa) dan pendekatan character strengths dalam psikologi positif. Pencarian literatur komprehensif… dilakukan melalui platform Consensus yang mengakses lebih dari 170 juta publikasi ilmiah. Dari 937 studi yang teridentifikasi, setelah melalui proses penyaringan dan penilaian eligibilitas, sebanyak 50 makalah dipilih untuk dianalisis secara mendalam. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa kedua kerangka kerja sama-sama bertujuan membina pengembangan moral dan kesejahteraan manusia melalui kultivasi kebajikan. Namun demikian, keduanya berakar pada pandangan dunia yang secara fundamental berbeda: tazkiyatun nafs berlandaskan kerangka spiritual-teosentris, sementara character strengths berpijak pada paradigma sekuler-humanistik. Konvergensi utama ditemukan pada kebajikan inti yang sama seperti kesabaran, syukur, dan kerendahan hati yang dalam kedua tradisi berfungsi sebagai faktor protektif bagi kesehatan mental. Sebaliknya, perbedaan signifikan muncul pada aspek epistemologi, metodologi, dan tujuan akhir. Tazkiyatun nafs menekankan transendensi spiritual dan penyelarasan diri dengan kehendak Ilahi, sedangkan character strengths memprioritaskan validasi empiris dan pencapaian flourishing dalam kerangka kerja sekuler. Upaya integrasi kedua pendekatan menunjukkan potensi yang menjanjikan, khususnya dalam konteks pendidikan dan intervensi terapeutik. Namun demikian, isu validitas pengukuran terutama dalam menangkap dimensi spiritual secara autentik masih menjadi tantangan krusial. Tinjauan ini mengidentifikasi kesenjangan penelitian yang ada dan mengusulkan arah penelitian masa depan menuju pendekatan pengembangan karakter yang holistik, terintegrasi, dan sensitif secara budaya.

Academic versus Vocational Orientation: A Comparison of Guidance and Counseling Program Management in Senior High Schools and Vocational High Schools (Literature Study)

Resty Tri Mahanani
Abstract: Rooted in the differences in educational orientation between senior high schools (academic) and vocational high schools (vocational), there is a need for different approaches to guidance and counseling (BK) management. A&#8230; systematic literature review was conducted to analyze the differences in the implementation of BK management in senior high schools and vocational high schools and to formulate a more responsive management model. The results of the study show that even though the same management framework (planning, organizing, acting, controlling) is used, the implementation of BK management at both levels of education is still not fully adaptive to the characteristics of each orientation. The most significant gap lies in the functions of evaluation and accountability. At the high school level, although the evaluation process is often simple and focuses on administrative output, this practice is still considered to be in line with its academic orientation. However, at the vocational school level, the evaluation function is not only technically weak but also irrelevant to the vocational orientation. This condition shows that BK management in Indonesia needs to be strengthened so that it is truly adaptive to the academic needs of high school students and the vocational needs of vocational school students.

Strategies for Developing Technical Competence and Soft Skills in Improving Customer Service Quality at NJS Alumunium Bandung

Billy Gustiawan
Abstract: The manufacturing sector in Indonesia, particularly within the aluminum fabrication and extrusion industry, is currently navigating a period of intense structural transition. Historically characterized by a focus on physical&#8230; ical output and technical specifications, enterprises are now increasingly compelled to adopt a service-dominant logic to maintain competitive viability. This research report investigates the strategic implementation of human resource development programs at NJS Alumunium, focusing on the dual-pathway integration of technical competence (hard skills) and interpersonal proficiencies (soft skills). Utilizing the SERVQUAL framework as a primary evaluative tool, the analysis explores how specific technical abilities, such as CNC machining, precision welding, and CAD design, intersect with soft skills like emotional intelligence, communication, and proactive problem-solving to drive customer satisfaction. The study synthesizes data from contemporary Indonesian industrial policies, including "Making Indonesia 4.0," and academic frameworks such as Workplace Learning (WPL) and Total Quality Management (TQM). Findings indicate that while technical mastery is a prerequisite for entry into the high-end aluminum market, soft skills serve as the critical differentiator in fostering customer loyalty and bridging the gap between expectation and perception. The report further details the role of management information systems, the impact of local cultural paternalism in leadership, and the emergence of green capabilities as essential components of a modern competency strategy. The proposed developmental model advocates for a continuous, mentored, and digitally-enabled training ecosystem that aligns organizational capabilities with the sophisticated demands of both domestic and international consumers.

Community Empowerment in the Landscaping of Gardens around Karo Traditional Houses to Support Cultural Ecotourism in Lingga Village

Mei Brilian Harefa, Dasrizal, Nurul Adha Sitorus, Egy Bremana Ginting, Junianty Dahnita Br Purba
Abstract: Lingga Village in Karo Regency, North Sumatra, is a cultural village that preserves the traditional architecture of the Karo people, particularly the Siwaluh Jabu traditional house, which reflects the community’s life philosophy,&#8230; philosophy, social order, and spirituality. The surrounding environment of these traditional houses remains poorly organized, with vacant land left unmanaged and declining awareness of cultural preservation, resulting in suboptimal utilization of the area’s aesthetic value, cultural function, and tourism potential. This community service program aims to arrange a cultural garden around the traditional houses while empowering the local community to manage the cultural landscape in a sustainable manner, with a focus on preserving cultural identity, improving environmental quality, and strengthening the local economy through the development of cultural tourism and agrotourism. The implementation method adopts a community-based participatory approach, carried out through several stages: site observation and mapping, focus group discussions, planning and designing the cultural garden, training and knowledge transfer, collective implementation of garden arrangement, as well as evaluation and documentation. The garden design integrates the orientation of the Siwaluh Jabu house, the cosmological meaning of space, ecological landscape principles, and the selection of local vegetation with symbolic, aesthetic, and economic value, organized into aesthetic, educational, and productive zones. The results of the program indicate the establishment of a well-arranged cultural garden rich in Karo cultural symbols, increased community capacity and participation, and the creation of a sustainable cultural landscape management model that functions as a “living laboratory” combining aesthetic, educational, economic, and spiritual roles. This model positions the community as the main actor and holds potential to be replicated in other cultural villages with similar characteristics.
