PENGARUH BRAND IMAGE DAN PERCEIVED QUALITY TERHADAP WILLINGNESS TO PAY PREMIUM PADA PRODUK UMKM LOKAL

Joko, Tarjono
Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the effect of brand image and perceived quality on willingness to pay premium for local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) products. Amid increasingly intense market competition with&#8230; imported goods and national brands, local MSMEs are required to build strong brand image and good perceived quality so that consumers are willing to pay a premium price. A quantitative approach with a causal research design was employed. The study population consisted of consumers who had purchased local MSME products within the past three months in Sukabumi and its surrounding areas. A total of 220 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS 24 software. The results show that brand image has a positive and significant effect on willingness to pay premium with a coefficient of 0.45 (p<0.01), and perceived quality has a positive and significant effect with a coefficient of 0.39 (p<0.01). Simultaneously, both variables explain 54.2% of the variance in willingness to pay premium. These findings confirm that strengthening brand image and improving consumer-perceived product quality are key strategies for MSME actors to increase the selling value and competitiveness of local products

PENGARUH PENERAPAN METODE SAM'IYAH SYAFAWIYAH BERBASIS PENDEKATAN KOMUNIKATIF TERHADAP KEPERCAYAAN DIRI BERBICARA BAHASA ARAB

Diana, Elpa, Novri Susanti Suparman, Fitri Wahidah, Dewi, Nofrianti
Abstract: This study aims to examine the effect of implementing the Sam'iyah Syafawiyah method based on a communicative approach on students' self-confidence in speaking Arabic through a library research approach. The study employs&#8230; s a qualitative method with a systematic literature review, analyzing and synthesizing scientific sources including books, international and national journals, articles, proceedings, and relevant research findings. Data sources were obtained from scientific databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, ERIC, and national digital repositories. The findings consistently demonstrate that the Sam'iyah Syafawiyah method integrated with the communicative approach has a positive and significant influence on students' self-confidence in speaking Arabic. This effect operates through four main mechanisms: (1) repetitive drilling builds mastery experience; (2) native speaker audio models provide vicarious experience; (3) the communicative approach reduces affective filters; and (4) intensive practice promotes automaticity in Arabic speech production. This study concludes that the integration of both methods constitutes an effective and recommended pedagogical strategy for improving self-confidence in Arabic speaking.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh penerapan metode Sam'iyah Syafawiyah berbasis pendekatan komunikatif terhadap kepercayaan diri peserta didik dalam berbicara bahasa Arab melalui pendekatan library research (studi kepustakaan). Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan kajian literatur sistematis, yakni menganalisis dan mensintesis berbagai sumber ilmiah berupa buku, jurnal nasional dan internasional, artikel, prosiding, dan hasil penelitian yang relevan. Sumber data diperoleh dari berbagai basis data ilmiah seperti Google Scholar, JSTOR, ScienceDirect, ERIC, dan repositori digital nasional. Hasil kajian secara konsisten menunjukkan bahwa metode Sam'iyah Syafawiyah yang diintegrasikan dengan pendekatan komunikatif memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepercayaan diri peserta didik dalam berbicara bahasa Arab. Pengaruh ini bekerja melalui empat mekanisme utama: (1) latihan drill berulang membangun mastery experience; (2) model audio native speaker memberikan vicarious experience; (3) pendekatan komunikatif menurunkan filter afektif; dan (4) latihan intensif mendorong otomatisasi produksi ujaran bahasa Arab. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi kedua metode tersebut merupakan strategi pedagogis yang efektif dan direkomendasikan untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri berbicara bahasa Arab.

PROFESIONALISME GURU DALAM KURIKULUM BERBASIS ALAM: ANALISIS INTEGRASI PENGALAMAN LUAR RUANGAN TERHADAP CAPAIAN PEMBELAJARAN FORMAL ANAK USIA DINI

Laksmita Wahyu Chandra Utami, Pamungkas, Joko
Abstract: Nature based curricula are often perceived as mere aimless play, despite their significant potential to meet formal learning targets. This study aims to analyze the role of teacher professionalism in integrating outdoor&#8230; experiences (outbound) into formal learning outcomes for early childhood. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative through a literature study of reputable journals. The findings indicate that teacher professionalism, encompassing pedagogical competence and nature-educator identity, is the key to successful integration. Systematically designed outdoor activities are proven to significantly enhance children's executive functions, self-regulation, and literacy-numeracy skills. The discussion emphasizes that direct experience in nature is not a hindrance but a catalyst for formal academic achievements. In conclusion, effective integration requires teachers capable of mapping nature activities into national curriculum indicators. This study recommends specialized training for early childhood teachers to strengthen reflection and curriculum mapping skills in nature-based settings.

Paputungan, Frezy, Khotimah, Husnul, Ibura, Irvan
Abstract: Technology is an applied science that encompasses a set of tools, systems, methods, and skills used by humans to solve problems and make work easier. The word comes from the Greek 'techne' (art, craft, skill) and 'logos'&#8230; (science). Some examples of technology vary from simple tools such as prehistoric axes to complex systems such as the internet, which enable humans to innovate and improve the quality of life. The method used in this study is library research, which collects and analyzes various related literature to explore the concept of technology, and the integration model in the implementation of KDKMP technical guidance in Gorontalo, as well as the role of the cooperative office and facilitators in its implementation. The findings indicate that the management and implementation of KKDMP Technical Guidance runs smoothly and with quality thanks to the use of technology. In addition, cooperative facilitators who pass the 2025 test from the Ministry of Cooperatives are expected to be able to implement practices in accordance with the implementation journal and applicable regulations effectively. The Red and White Cooperative is a government program to establish village/sub-district-based economic institutions that aim to improve the welfare and independence of the community through the principles of mutual cooperation and kinship. This cooperative functions as a joint forum for carrying out various local economic efforts, such as providing basic necessities, savings and loan services, and strengthening MSMEs, so as to encourage food security and shorten the supply chain. The Red and White Cooperative Program (Kopdes Merah Putih) is a national initiative to establish cooperatives in every village and sub-district to strengthen the local economy and improve community welfare through the principles of mutual cooperation.

RESILIENSI AKADEMIK SISWA PONDOK PESANTREN

Jalal, Novita Maulidya
Abstract: This study aims to examine the academic resilience of Islamic boarding school students through a library research approach by reviewing national and international literature related to personal, social, spiritual, and pedagogical&#8230; dagogical factors that shape students’ academic endurance. Findings indicate that academic resilience among santri develops through the interaction of self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, self-regulation skills, and social support from peers, teachers, and dormitory caregivers. The disciplined, communal, and religious environment of pesantren strengthens adaptive coping mechanisms, particularly in managing academic pressure, demanding study schedules, and religious obligations. International literature highlights that interpersonal support and religious culture enhance students’ psychological resilience and academic engagement. Moreover, spiritual routines such as prayer and scriptural study function as emotional regulation tools that promote mental stability. The review also reveals that pesantren’s intensive instructional methods foster long-term academic perseverance, although they may increase stress when not accompanied by adequate social support. Overall, this study underscores that academic resilience among santri is a product of the holistic ecology of Islamic boarding school education. Therefore, strengthening resilience requires integrated strategies that simultaneously develop psychological, social, and spiritual capacities.   Keywords : Academic Resilience, Islamic Boarding School,Students

PENGARUH HARGA DAN KUALITAS PRODUK KOSMETIK TERHADAP MINAT BELI BELANJA ONLINE DI MARKETPLACE LAZADA

Shiva Windria Fauziahwati, Sindrawati
Abstract: Perkembangan teknologi digital dan pesatnya pertumbuhan e-commerce di Indonesia telah mengubah pola konsumsi masyarakat, termasuk dalam pembelian produk kosmetik. Marketplace seperti Lazada menjadi alternatif utama bagi&#8230; konsumen untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tanpa harus berbelanja langsung di toko fisik. Dalam proses menentukan keputusan pembelian, konsumen cenderung memberi perhatian utama pada dua faktor penting, yaitu harga dan kualitas produk. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengukur sejauh mana pengaruh kedua faktor tersebut terhadap minat beli produk kosmetik secara online di platform Lazada, khususnya di kalangan mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan populasi mahasiswa International Women University yang pernah melakukan pembelian produk kosmetik melalui Lazada. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 94 responden yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner dengan skala Likert, sedangkan analisis data dilakukan menggunakan regresi linier berganda melalui aplikasi IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa variabel harga (X1) dan kualitas produk (X2) berpengaruh positif serta signifikan terhadap minat beli (Y), baik secara parsial maupun simultan. Koefisien regresi harga sebesar 0,484, sementara kualitas produk sebesar 0,443, yang mengindikasikan bahwa harga memiliki pengaruh lebih dominan dibandingkan kualitas produk. Secara simultan, kedua variabel tersebut mampu menjelaskan 78,5% variasi minat beli konsumen terhadap produk kosmetik di marketplace Lazada. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan strategi harga yang kompetitif serta penyediaan produk berkualitas tinggi merupakan elemen kunci untuk mendorong minat beli konsumen di pasar digital. Secara teoritis, penelitian ini memperkaya literatur mengenai perilaku konsumen digital, sementara secara praktis, memberikan masukan bagi pelaku usaha untuk mengoptimalkan strategi pemasaran online dengan memperhatikan kedua faktor tersebut. Untuk penelitian selanjutnya, disarankan penambahan variabel lain seperti promosi digital, tingkat kepercayaan terhadap platform, dan ulasan pelanggan, serta memperluas jangkauan sampel agar hasil penelitian memiliki daya generalisasi yang lebih tinggi.
