Resiliensi Guru yang Mengajar di Panti Asuhan Al-Mizan Muhammadiyah Lamongan

Yusnia Rahayu, Prianggi Amelasasih
Abstract: An orphanage is a social institution that functions to provide protection, care, and guidance for children who have lost the support of their nuclear families. Its role is not limited to fulfilling basic needs but also contributes… ontributes significantly to education and character development. Teachers working in orphanages face dual roles as educators and caregivers, requiring psychological resilience to manage emotional pressures, limited resources, and the complexity of social relationships in the workplace. In this context, resilience becomes a key factor that enables teachers to adapt, overcome obstacles, and develop effective strategies to maintain both personal and professional stability. This study aims to describe teacher resilience at Muhammadiyah Orphanage Lamongan using a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of two teachers, with data collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation, supported by triangulated information from significant others. The findings indicate that both subjects experienced resilience dynamics due to dual roles and adaptation difficulties, particularly in time management and task distribution. Nevertheless, strategies such as effective time management, utilization of social support, and reflective ability in interpreting experiences proved to be essential factors in strengthening their resilience. The study concludes that teacher resilience in orphanages is an adaptive process shaped by the interaction of personal, social, and contextual factors. Therefore, institutional interventions in the form of self-management training and enhanced environmental support are necessary to ensure the sustainability of teachers’ roles in orphanages.

Annafi Fahdulla Alam, Agitia Kurniati Asrila
Abstract: Working mothers with toddlers face dual-role demands that may lead to psychological distress, role conflict, and difficulties in maintaining a balance between work and childcare responsibilities. These challenges make coping… ping strategies an essential factor in supporting mothers' psychological well-being. This study aims to analyze the coping strategies employed by working mothers with toddlers and identify the factors influencing their selection of coping strategies. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using purposive sampling to recruit working mothers with children under five years of age employed at a Correctional Center. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, while data trustworthiness was ensured through source triangulation and member checking. The findings indicate that the coping strategies adopted by participants include social support, emotional regulation, relaxation activities, and the development of positive perspectives toward work and childcare responsibilities. The selection of these strategies is influenced by family support, personal experiences, job characteristics, the work environment, and individuals' ability to adapt to various demands. The study concludes that the successful management of dual roles among working mothers depends on their ability to integrate multiple coping strategies adaptively according to the situations they encounter. The novelty of this study lies in revealing coping strategies as an adaptive process that integrates social support, emotional regulation, relaxation activities, and positive perceptions of the work environment as part of maintaining a balance between occupational responsibilities and childcare.

Pemaknaan Perselingkuhan Ayah dalam Pemilihan Pasangan pada Perempuan Dewasa Awal

Tifanny Angellina, Indriyani Santoso
Abstract: The phenomenon of infidelity within families constitutes a significant social issue, as it not only undermines spousal relationships but also leaves enduring psychological wounds on children who witness it, particularly… women entering early adulthood when they begin to establish romantic relationships. This study focuses on how early adult women interpret their experiences of witnessing paternal infidelity and the implications of these experiences for trust, commitment, emotional dynamics, and partner selection processes. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was employed to explore the subjective experiences of three early adult women aged 20-22 who encountered such events during adolescence. The findings indicate that these experiences are interpreted as traumatic, giving rise to anxiety, fear of betrayal, and difficulties in developing trust, while simultaneously fostering heightened vigilance and selectivity in choosing partners, with an emphasis on loyalty, communication, and emotional security. The emerging psychological dynamics include trust issues, a tendency to avoid conflict, and a strong need for emotional stability, which are addressed through conscious efforts to build healthier relationships characterized by open communication and effective emotional regulation. The study concludes that the subjective meaning-making of paternal infidelity plays a crucial role in shaping relational patterns, perceptions of romantic relationships, and partner selection decisions among early adult women. The novelty of this research lies in its emphasis on the meaning-making dimension, which not only reveals psychological impacts but also highlights resilience and the transformation of traumatic experiences into a foundation for more adaptive and constructive relationships.

Penggunaan Metode Fonik untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Membaca pada Anak Slow Learner

Sholikhatun Nisa, Rudi Cahyono
Abstract: Reading proficiency is a fundamental skill in primary education; however, children with special needs classified as slow learners often face significant challenges in developing early reading abilities due to limitations… in phonological processing. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the phonic method in improving the reading skills of slow learners through a structured intervention approach. The central research problem addresses how the phonic method can be appropriately adapted to overcome reading difficulties in children with learning delays. The subject of this study was a fifth-grade elementary school student who exhibited marked delays in recognizing letter sounds, constructing words, and understanding simple sentence structures. A case study approach was employed, involving a six-session individualized intervention designed in gradual stages. Each session focused on developing phonological skills, including phoneme identification, blending sounds into syllables, phoneme segmentation, and the introduction of complex patterns such as digraphs and diphthongs. The results demonstrated significant improvement in the subject’s reading ability, evidenced by increased accuracy in letter-sound recognition, reading simple words, and constructing short sentences. Although minor errors in pronunciation and word structure persisted, the subject’s consistent progress throughout the intervention confirmed the phonic method as an effective and applicable approach to teaching reading to slow learners. In conclusion, the phonic method successfully addressed phonological barriers through strategies tailored to the learner’s cognitive profile. The novelty of this study lies in its implementation of the phonic method as a step-by-step phonological intervention model within the context of inclusive primary education an area that remains underexplored and underutilized in both educational practice and research in Indonesia.

IMPLEMENTASI SISTEM PENDUKUNG KEPUTUSAN UNTUK DISTRIBUSI LOGISTIK KEPOLISIAN DENGAN METODE MOORA

Safaria, Sayendra, Rahim, Radiyan, Wendra, Yumai, Hariska Putra, Ruri Pratama
Abstract: Abstract: The distribution of police logistics involves various locations with differing needs, making the decision-making process highly complex. Manual decision-making often faces challenges, such as numerous factors or… r criteria that need to be considered, including the distance to the location, the level of logistic needs, the number of personnel at the location, and the availability of logistics in the warehouse. Additionally, difficulties frequently arise in determining priority locations during emergencies or disasters, as well as vulnerabilities to subjective errors due to human limitations in analyzing complex data. Another issue is the unequal allocation of logistics, where some locations receive more logistics than needed, while others experience shortages. A Decision Support System (DSS) is a computer-based system designed to assist decision-makers in analyzing data, evaluating various alternatives, and providing recommendations. DSS aims to simplify the decision-making process to make it more effective. Various methods are used in the decision-making process, one of which is the Multi-Objective Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method. This system aims to reduce subjectivity, increase efficiency, and ensure a more equitable allocation of logistics based on needs. It is expected that this DSS can serve as a solution that facilitates faster, more accurate, and transparent decision-making.    Keywords: decision support system; moora; logistics  Abstrak: Distribusi logistik kepolisian melibatkan berbagai lokasi dengan kebutuhan yang berbeda-beda, yang membuat pengambilan keputusan menjadi sangat kompleks.

Abstract: Abstract: Inventory of goods is an important thing in a company, because inventory can support the operational needs of the company so that it runs smoothly. A good goods management process will produce accurate transaction… ion and inventory reports. The process of managing goods at BPRS Artha Madani is currently still being carried out manually using Microsoft Excel, this results in difficulties in making reports on incoming and outgoing goods transactions and frequent discrepancies between the data in Microsoft Excel and the actual goods in the warehouse during stock taking. In addition, the process of picking up goods at the warehouse is still not structured, so it is necessary to apply a method of stock management. Therefore, in this study, the design and manufacture of web-based applications was carried out by applying the FIFO method. The FIFO method is a problem-solving method that can be applied in a way that goods that come in first are assumed to be sold or out first [1]. In building this application the author uses the extreme programming (XP) method for system development, this method consists of 4 stages, namely planning, design, coding, testing. With the development of this application, it is hoped that it can overcome problems in managing goods at BPRS Artha Madani.             Keywords: extreme programming; FIFO; inventory of goods     Abstrak: Persediaan barang merupakan hal yang penting pada sebuah perusahaan, karena persediaan barang dapat menunjang kebutuhan operasional pada perusahaan tersebut agar berjalan dengan lancar.
