THE EFFECT OF USING THE CANVA PLAY EDU APPLICATION AS A DIGITAL ASSESSMENT TOOL ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCE LEARNING OUTCOMES
The integration of digital technology in education has transformed learning and assessment practices; however, assessment in elementary schools remains largely conventional and less engaging, limiting students’ participation and higher-order thinking skills. Although prior studies have examined digital learning media, limited research has specifically explored gamification-based digital assessment tools in improving elementary science learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the effect of using Canva Play Edu as a digital assessment tool on students’ learning outcomes. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group involving 38 fourth-grade students at SDN Kemayoran 02 Bangkalan. Data were collected through pretest and posttest and analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, Mann–Whitney U test, and N-gain analysis. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group, with mean scores of 86.63 and 81.68, respectively (p < 0.05). The N-gain score of 0.80 (high category) and N-gain percentage of 80.41% (very effective) indicate a substantial improvement in learning outcomes. These findings suggest that Canva Play Edu is an effective gamification-based digital assessment tool that enhances both learning outcomes and student engagement in elementary science education.

PRACTICE BEYOND INSTRUCTION: EXPLORING PRACTICE STRATEGIES IN PRIMARY SCHOOL DRUM LEARNING
This study addresses the limited attention given to independent practice in primary music education by examining how young students structure drum practice beyond direct instruction in a non-formal setting. A qualitative design was employed involving four students aged seven to nine, using participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis during thirty-minute sessions. Inductive thematic analysis revealed that students consistently initiated practice by revisiting previously learned 4/4 grooves, using prior material as a structural anchor. Despite tempo instability and coordination challenges between the hi-hat and bass drum, students maintained rhythmic coherence while negotiating motor demands. Problem-solving was predominantly global, relying on whole-pattern repetition rather than segmentation. Practice organization emerged implicitly, progressing from hi-hat stabilization toward full groove integration. These findings highlight early-stage self-structured practice behaviors and extend understanding of independent practice in drum learning. However, the small sample and single-context design limit generalizability. Future research should involve larger samples and longitudinal approaches to examine developmental progression in practice strategies.

THE EFFECT OF THE COLLABORATIVE POMODORO TECHNIQUE AND QUR’ANIC MUROTTAL ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING MOTIVATION IN BIOLOGY LESSONS
This study employed a quasi-experimental design to analyze the implementation of a collaborative approach combining the Pomodoro Technique and Qur’anic murottal recitation on students’ motivation in Biology learning. The research population comprised all eleventh-grade students, and the sampling technique used was saturation sampling because the population was fewer than 100 students. The sample consisted of three classes: Class XI-C as Experimental Group I, which received the combined treatment of the Pomodoro Technique and Qur’anic murottal recitation; Class XI-B as Experimental Group II, which received the Pomodoro Technique treatment; and Class XI-A as Experimental Group III, which received the Qur’anic murottal recitation treatment. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through an ANCOVA test with the assistance of SPSS at a significance level of 0.05. The results of the analysis indicated that learning motivation yielded a p-value of 0.072. Therefore, it can be concluded that the collaboration between the Pomodoro Technique and Qur’anic murottal recitation did not have a statistically significant effect on students' learning motivation, nor was its implementation substantially different. This finding is influenced by the school environment, which possesses a strong academic and religious atmosphere, thereby familiarizing students with spiritually integrated learning. In addition, all classes demonstrated strong initial motivation, active participation, and enthusiasm throughout the learning process.

DEVELOPING A HOLISTIC EDUCATION PARADIGM: THE SYNERGY OF LOVE-BASED CURRICULUM (KBC) AND AI & CODING LEARNING
The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and programming (coding) necessitates an innovative response from the educational sector to foster a generation that is not only digitally competent but also possesses strong character and ethics. This paper proposes a conceptual model to develop a holistic educational paradigm through the synergy between the Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta or KBC) and AI & coding education within the madrasah environment. The objective is to bridge the gap between technological advancement and humanitarian values by establishing KBC as the ethical foundation for the development and utilization of technology. The methodology employed involves a literature analysis and synthesis to integrate the philosophical foundations of KBC, namely ontology, epistemology, and axiology, with the principles of AI ethics. The resulting model focuses on applying "Panca Cinta" (Five Loves) as an ethical framework for AI and coding projects, wherein students learn to create technological solutions that are humanistic, tolerant, and sustainable. The primary contribution of this paper is to offer a theoretical framework that serves as a basis for future empirical research and policy formulation by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenag). Consequently, madrasahs can act as pioneers in cultivating a superior generation that is not only digitally proficient but also empathetic, compassionate, and socially responsible in the global era.

INTERNALIZING RELIGIOUS VALUES THROUGH HABITUATION AND MODELING METHODS IN SEKOLAH RENDAH INTEGRITAS TERAS ISLAM (SRITI) AL-QAWWAM
The increasing exposure of students to digital influences has raised concerns about the weakening of religious character in elementary education. Grounded in Thorndike’s learning theory and Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, this study examines how habituation and modeling contribute to the internalization of religious values at Sekolah Rendah Integritas Teras Islam (SRITI) Al-Qawwam. Previous studies have mainly focused on routine practices without exploring the integration of habituation and modeling within a structured system adapted to students’ developmental stages. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design involving a principal, two teachers, and two students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that religious values are internalized through structured daily activities such as greetings, congregational prayers, tahfidz, cleanliness practices, and qailullah. These are implemented based on students’ developmental levels and reinforced through teacher modeling. The integration of repetitive practices and observable behaviors fosters discipline, responsibility, and spiritual awareness. This study highlights the synergy between behaviorist and social cognitive approaches and emphasizes the importance of structured habituation supported by teacher modeling in developing sustainable religious character.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING AND RALLY TABLE: EFFECTS ON ELECTRICITY LEARNING OUTCOMES IN HIGH SCHOOL
The implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in physics instruction is aligned with topics that have direct applications in daily life, such as electricity. One of the projects that students can undertake is constructing a simple household electrical installation. However, PjBL has a limitation in which students only focus on the final product of the project rather than the underlying concepts required to complete it. This condition leads to decreased student engagement during the learning process, which in turn may increase the probability of a decline in learning outcomes. This weakness can be addressed by integrating the Rally Table learning strategy. Therefore, this study aims to measure the effectiveness of PjBL combined with Rally Table in improving the learning outcomes of 12th-grade students on the topic of electricity. The study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design with a sample of 72 students. The findings indicate an improvement in learning outcomes by 37%. In addition, classroom observations revealed that proper time allocation between regular learning activities and project work is essential to foster active student engagement throughout the learning process.

DEVELOPMENT OF THEMATIC HANDOUT MATERIALS BASED ON THE LOCAL WISDOM OF NUTMEG FOR LEARNING
Their perception causes a lack of student interest in learning through printed teaching materials that local wisdom presented in textbooks is not relevant to the local knowledge of their region. In addition, most teachers do not utilize locally-based teaching materials, reducing student involvement in the learning process. This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility of thematic teaching materials based on local wisdom, evaluate the feasibility of the teaching materials, and Assess teacher responses to the teaching materials. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, including the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. During the analysis phase, a needs assessment was carried out to ensure the relevance of local wisdom, especially regarding the material on nutmeg, in the teaching materials. The study subjects were grade IV students of MIN 2 South Aceh. The research instruments included a validation questionnaire from media and material experts and a response questionnaire from teachers and students. The validation results showed that local wisdom-based teaching materials about nutmeg and its benefits were considered feasible, with a score of 75% from media experts and 73% from material experts, categorized as "feasible." Students' responses to the teaching materials showed that the materials were very interesting, with a score of 94.5%, while teachers' responses reached 72%, categorized as "interesting." The implications of this study indicate that the development of locally based teaching materials can significantly increase students' interest and involvement in learning and provide practical guidance for teachers in utilizing materials relevant to the local context.

LOLITA: TAJWEED GAME-BASED LEARNING MEDIA DEVELOPMENT USING THE HANNAFIN AND PECK MODEL
Tajweed is the science of reading the Qur'an, which is urgently taught to students to avoid mistakes when reading or reciting it. However, learning tajweed is quite complicated. Game-based learning media are very suitable for development, especially for students at the concrete operational stage, to facilitate understanding of tajwid. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop Ludo Lintas Tajweed (Lolita) using the Hannafin and Peck model, which consists of three phases: analysis, design, and development/implementation. The model also emphasizes an iterative approach, which is essential to ensure that the product or program developed meets users' needs and effectively achieves them. Descriptive analysis was conducted to describe each phase of media development, while percentage analysis was carried out to analyze the media validation from the subject experts and students' responses. The results showed that the development process of Lolita, a game-based learning media, has been in accordance with the Hannafin and Peck phase and is feasible to develop with media validation (88%), content validation (90.7%), language validation (80%), small group validation (100%), and large group validation (98.5%).
