inant factor influencing audit quality. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research population consisted of all auditors at the South Sulawesi Provincial Inspectorate. A saturated sampling technique was applied, resulting in 53 respondents whose questionnaires were successfully collected and met the research criteria. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that professionalism, independence, and work motivation simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on audit quality. This finding is supported by an F-value of 25.053 with a significance level of 0.001 and an adjusted R-squared value of 0.581, indicating that the three variables explain 58.1% of the variation in audit quality. Partially, professionalism has a positive and significant effect on audit quality, as indicated by a t-value of 2.983 and a significance level of 0.004. Work motivation also has a positive and significant effect on audit quality, with a t-value of 2.910 and a significance level of 0.005. In contrast, independence does not have a significant effect on audit quality, as reflected by a t-value of 1.184 and a significance level of 0.242. Among the examined variables, professionalism has the strongest influence on audit quality, followed by work motivation and independence. These findings suggest that strengthening auditors’ professionalism and work motivation is essential for improving audit quality within the South Sulawesi Provincial Inspectorate.

nment. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 360 ASN consisting of Civil Servants (PNS) and Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK). The sampling technique used proportionate stratified random sampling, while data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the help of SmartPLS 4. The results showed that Career Development, Culture Value, and Emotional Intelligence had a positive and significant effect on Self-Efficacy. In addition, these three variables also have a positive and significant effect on Personal Branding. Self-Efficacy was proven to have a positive and significant effect on Personal Branding and was able to significantly mediate the influence of Career Development, Culture Value, and Emotional Intelligence on Personal Branding. The coefficient of determination value shows that the model is able to explain 70.1% of the variation in Self-Efficacy and 76.8% of the variation in Personal Branding. The findings of this study indicate that strengthening the career development system, internalizing organizational cultural values, and increasing emotional intelligence can increase the self-confidence of ASN which ultimately strengthens Personal Branding in carrying out tasks and public services. This study provides an empirical contribution to the development of public sector human resource management, particularly in efforts to improve the professionalism and image of the apparatus through strengthening internal organizational factors.

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…
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.

Abstract:Islamic Religious Education (PAI) faces complex challenges in maintaining relevance and quality amidst social change, technology, and demands for public accountability. Two main concepts in educational quality management—continuous…
—continuous improvement and quality assurance—are often discussed separately, despite their fundamentally synergistic relationship. This study aims to conceptually examine the integration of continuous improvement and quality assurance in the context of PAI, addressing how both frameworks can be operationalized simultaneously to improve the quality of PAI delivery. Using a systematic literature review method through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) for the 2019–2026 period, 25 relevant articles were analyzed from 80 initial findings. The results show that quality assurance functions as a holding system that establishes standards, while continuous improvement acts as a driving force encouraging innovation and adaptation. However, in PAI practice, tension exists between standard compliance (QA) and the need for dynamic change (CI). This article offers an integrative framework called the Adaptive Quality Cycle (AQC), combining the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle with Islamic principles such as muhasabah (self-evaluation), tahsin (continuous improvement), and itqan (professionalism). This integration is key for PAI institutions to not only meet minimum standards but also continuously develop dynamically without losing their Islamic identity.
Abstract:This study aims to describe the professionalism and roles of shadow teachers in supporting inclusive education services at Butterfly Learning Center (BLC). As an institution dedicated to transitioning children with special…
al needs (CSN) into formal schooling, BLC implements an intensive one-to-one accompaniment system. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation of accompaniment activities, and document review. The findings indicate that shadow teachers at BLC fulfill multifunctional roles, including identifying each child's specific needs, designing intervention programmes, developing basic independence skills, and providing evaluations and progress reports to parents and classroom teachers. The professionalism of shadow teachers is demonstrated through their ability to adapt instructional strategies in accordance with each child's concentration level, as well as their physical and cognitive limitations. Furthermore, teachers engage in ongoing collaboration with parents to monitor and evaluate children's progress through regular daily reports. This study concludes that the competence and dedication of shadow teachers are critical factors in the successful transition of children with special needs into broader educational settings. An effective shadow teacher does not only focus on academic readiness, but also place equal emphasis on developing independence as a necessary foundation for children's social integration in the future.
Abstract:This study describes the strategies and mentoring model implemented by HIMPAUDI in Krui, West Pesisir Regency, to improve the professionalism of early childhood education teachers. This research employed a descriptive qualitative…
alitative approach, with primary data collected through a structured interview with a HIMPAUDI board member in West Pesisir Regency. The findings show that HIMPAUDI mentoring is carried out through tiered training, curriculum and learning workshops, teacher working groups, seminars, mentoring, supervision, sharing of good practices, and socialization of professional ethics. The mentoring model is participatory, collaborative, continuous, needs-based, reflective, and ethical-professional. These activities strengthen teachers pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies, particularly in understanding child development, designing creative learning, developing learning media, adapting the curriculum, and maintaining professional responsibility. However, implementation is constrained by limited time, training costs, unequal access to information, varied teacher motivation, digital competence, and coastal geographical conditions. The study recommends strengthening local professional development through professional learning communities, mentoring cycles, digital support, and institutional collaboration among HIMPAUDI, local government, higher education institutions, and early childhood education providers.
