Hafidz Maulana Syamputra, Arga Satrio Prabowo, Alfiandy Warih Handoyo
Abstract: Kematangan karier merupakan salah satu aspek penting yang perlu dimiliki peserta didik sebagai bekal dalam menentukan pilihan pendidikan lanjutan maupun pekerjaan di masa depan. Salah satu faktor yang diduga berhubungan… dengan kematangan karier adalah keikutsertaan siswa dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kematangan karier antara siswa yang mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dengan siswa yang tidak mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Kota Serang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode komparatif. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 404 siswa yang berasal dari MAN 1 Kota Serang dan MAN 2 Kota Serang, yang dipilih menggunakan teknik stratified random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan angket kematangan karier yang disusun berdasarkan enam aspek kematangan karier yaitu orientasi karier, informasi dan perencanaan karier, konsistensi pilihan karier, pemantapan karakteristik diri, kemandirian dalam memilih karier, serta kebijaksanaan dalam memilih karier. Data dianalisis melalui uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, dan uji komparatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kematangan karier siswa secara umum berada pada kategori baik dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 194,16. Namun demikian, hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara siswa yang mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler dan siswa yang tidak mengikuti kegiatan ekstrakurikuler (Sig. = 0,347 > 0,05). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa keikutsertaan dalam kegiatan ekstrakurikuler bukan merupakan faktor yang membedakan tingkat kematangan karier siswa. Kematangan karier diduga lebih dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor lain, seperti pemahaman diri, dukungan keluarga, pengalaman belajar, layanan bimbingan karier, dan akses terhadap informasi karier. Career maturity is an important aspect that students need to develop in preparing for future educational and occupational choices. One factor that is assumed to be related to career maturity is participation in extracurricular activities. This study aimed to examine the differences in career maturity between students who participated in extracurricular activities and those who did not in State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) in Serang City. This study employed a quantitative approach using a comparative research design. The sample consisted of 404 students from MAN 1 Serang City and MAN 2 Serang City selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a career maturity questionnaire six dimensions of career maturity: career orientation, career information and planning, consistency of career preferences, crystallization of self-characteristics, career independence, and wisdom in career choice. Data were analyzed using normality testing, homogeneity testing, and comparative analysis. The results indicated that students' career maturity was generally at a good level, with a mean score of 194.16. However, the hypothesis testing revealed no significant difference in career maturity between students who participated in extracurricular activities and those who did not (Sig. = 0.347 > 0.05). These findings suggest that participation in extracurricular activities is not a distinguishing factor in students' career maturity. Career maturity is likely influenced by other factors, including self-understanding, family support, learning experiences, career guidance services, and access to career information.

Simanjorang, Elida Florentina Sinaga, Warera, Jeni
Abstract: This study aims to map innovative solutions based on multi-stakeholder collaboration to optimize the implementation of the Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) Policy in Labuhanbatu Regency, which in practice still faces various… obstacles. Through a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as literature review, in-depth interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) in three elementary schools, this study identifies the root causes of the problems. The main findings reveal that the obstacles to the implementation of the CFS are multidimensional, including a substantial lack of understanding of the CFS among educators and parents, limited financial and human resources, resistance to changes in school culture, and weak coordination and active participation from all stakeholders, including children. The value and contribution of this study lies in the proposition of a systemic solution that fills the gap in existing literacy, which goes beyond problem identification. This study recommends a series of integrated innovative solutions, such as the use of digital platforms for outreach and complaints, continuous capacity building of educators, strengthening child participation through official forums, and most importantly, the establishment of a multi-stakeholder collaboration forum and the integration of the CFS policy into regional planning and budgeting (RPJMD/APBD). Key recommendations emphasize the establishment of a multi-stakeholder collaboration forum involving schools, local governments, communities, and the business world, as well as the establishment of an independent monitoring team to ensure accountability.

Abstract: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi berbagai faktor internal dan eksternal penyebab penurunan jumlah peserta didik di SD Negeri 039/IX Tantan, menentukan faktor yang paling dominan, serta mengevaluasi langkah&#8230; penanggulangan yang telah dilakukan sekolah. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan, studi dokumentasi data Dapodik, dan wawancara mendalam terhadap empat informan kunci yang terdiri dari kepala sekolah dan jajaran guru senior. Analisis data kuantitatif populasi siswa secara longitudinal disajikan menggunakan metode grafik perilaku sepanjang waktu atau Behaviour Overtime Graphs (BOTG). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya tren penurunan populasi siswa yang bersifat linier berkelanjutan selama periode enam tahun ajaran terakhir (2019/2020 hingga 2025/2026), dengan jumlah akhir hanya tersisa 24 siswa aktif. Faktor internal yang menjadi pelemah utama adalah keterbatasan sarana prasarana pembelajaran yang masih tradisional. Sementara itu, faktor eksternal dominan meliputi hambatan aksesibilitas geografis, pergeseran demografi akibat penurunan angka kelahiran, ketatnya kompetisi antarlembaga, serta minimnya dukungan kebijakan tata pamong desa. Krisis jumlah siswa ini berdampak pada pasifnya dinamika psikososial kelas kecil dan peningkatan beban kerja emosional guru. Strategi insentif jangka pendek berupa pembagian paket seragam gratis terbukti belum efektif memulihkan volume input siswa. Kesimpulannya, penurunan siswa di sekolah ini merupakan kegagalan adaptasi struktural dalam perspektif teori pendekatan sistem akibat ketidakselarasan antara instrumen internal dengan tekanan lingkungan makro.

Abstract: Education is an ecosystem involving various elements, with the family as its primary foundation. Schools then act as strategic partners, continuing, strengthening, and developing the educational process in a systematic and&#8230; nd structured manner. Effective and valuable communication is believed to be able to build sustainable educational synergy. This study aims to analyze school-parent communication practices from an Islamic perspective and their impact on student learning outcomes at Nurul Hidayah Elementary School in Kutawaluya District. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, then analyzed interactively through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that communication practices occur formally and informally, are integrated with the values of trust and deliberation, and encourage active parental involvement in home learning support. Dialogic and persuasive communication contributes to improved student discipline, learning readiness, and responsibility. Integrating Islamic values into communication practices strengthens collaborative relationships between schools and families. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of developing an Islamic values-based educational communication model as a strategy to strengthen school-parent partnerships in improving student learning outcomes.
