It suggests potential areas for future research in adaptive technologies and innovative teaching approaches to further enhance STS education.</em></p> Kimberly Rivera Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-18 2024-08-18 1 6 1495 1510 A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE ENGLISH TEACHING MODULE CRAFTED FOR THE INDEPENDENT CURRICULUM BY TEACHERS AT MOJOKERTO JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/305 <p>This study aims to explore the unique curriculum instruction modules used by English teachers in five Movement Schools in Mojokerto junior high schools. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed to examine how these modules are implemented. Data were collected through interviews with educators, analysis of relevant documents, and a review of the teaching module. The findings reveal that the five English teachers at these schools have structured their Teaching Modules in line with the components of the Independent Curriculum. However, they still face difficulties developing these modules and adapting the curriculum to meet students' needs. The study emphasizes that teaching modules should be designed to consider both the specific needs of local students and the national education guidelines. These findings significantly affect how secondary school teachers plan and develop instructional strategies.</p> Devinta Nirmalasari Rini Lindawati Wiwik Mardiana Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-19 2024-08-19 1 6 1511 1522 INNOVATIVE VOCABULARY TEACHING: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ASSEMBLR EDU APP IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOMS https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/306 <p>This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using the Assemblr Edu application as a vocabulary learning media and describe the response of seventh-grade students of SMPN 1 Gedeg Mojokerto to the media.

The research method used was a literature review. The results show that limited access to technology in education results in low academic achievement and students' lack of readiness to face work demands in the digital era. Furthermore, students from low-income families and remote areas are most affected, with a greater likelihood of falling behind in digital literacy and independent learning skills.</p> Loso Judijanto Melyana R Pugu Achmad Farchan Al-Amin Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-19 2024-08-19 1 6 1533 1546 THE EFFECT OF CAPITAL MARKET ON ECONOMIC GROWTH: A LITERATURE REVIEW https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/310 <p>The capital market has a significant role in promoting economic growth through fundraising mechanisms and efficient capital allocation. This study uses the research method. The results show that a developed and liquid capital market provides cheaper and easier access to funding for firms, allowing them to expand and innovate which in turn increases productivity and production capacity. In addition, capital markets also strengthen transparency and corporate governance, which not only increases investor confidence but also maintains overall economic stability. An effective capital market encourages companies to meet higher reporting and auditing standards, which in turn improves their accountability and performance. This allows for a more efficient allocation of resources to sectors with high growth prospects, thereby spurring innovation and value addition in the economy. However, these positive impacts are more pronounced in countries with adequate financial infrastructure and supportive regulations. In developing countries, challenges such as lack of liquidity, information imbalances, and political instability remain major obstacles. In this context, the literature review emphasizes the importance of building strong capital market infrastructure, improving financial literacy, and continuous efforts in strengthening regulations to maximize the contribution of capital markets to economic growth. With the right strategy, capital markets can be an important pillar in promoting sustainable and inclusive economic growth.</p> Jackson Yumame Khuzaini Hadenan Towpek Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-19 2024-08-19 1 6 1547 1554 EVALUATION OF RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN PROFIT OPTIMIZATION IN THE BANKING SECTOR https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/311 <p>This study aims to evaluate risk management strategies in profit optimization efforts in the banking sector. The findings reveal that the implementation of a reliable risk management strategy is able to contribute significantly to increasing profitability and financial stability of banks. Solid risk management helps in identifying, measuring, and managing various potential risks that could potentially threaten the bank's financial performance. Successful risk management enables banks to minimize potential losses and maximize opportunities, ultimately increasing profits in a sustainable manner. This study confirms the importance of integrating risk management into a bank's business strategy. Risk management is not only needed as a protection tool, but also as an important component in strategic decision-making. By incorporating risk considerations in day-to-day activities, banks can make more informed and timely decisions, which in turn helps reduce uncertainty and improve operational efficiency. The role of technology and data analytics is also highlighted, as it improves the accuracy of risk prediction and evaluation. The utilization of advanced technology enables banks to respond to risks quickly and effectively, thereby preventing negative impacts on financial performance. The implementation of technology-based risk management systems enhances transparency and accountability, which increases stakeholder confidence in bank management. In addition, compliance with dynamic regulations is also an important factor in the risk management strategy. Stringent regulations encourage banks to continuously adapt and refine their risk management framework. Compliance with regulatory rules not only avoids sanctions but also builds a good reputation in the eyes of investors and customers.</p> Adhista Setyarini Ziko Hamdi Mohd Syahrin Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-19 2024-08-19 1 6 1555 1567 THE IMPACT OF TAX REFORM ON SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/313 <p>Tax reform is a broad area of regulatory change, technology implementation, and incentive policies. The research in this investigation uses the literature research method. The results show that the impact of tax reform on Small and Medium Enterprises is dualistic. On the one hand, reforms that prioritize transparency, simplicity, and are supported by clear guidelines are well received by Small and Medium Enterprises, as they ease the reporting process and improve tax compliance. On the other hand, complex and confusing reforms create uncertainty and operational challenges, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises that are less prepared in terms of technology and infrastructure. Therefore, technological readiness and supporting infrastructure play an important role in determining the effectiveness of tax reform. Furthermore, the need for support from the government, both in the form of tax incentives and education, greatly affects the success of Small and Medium Enterprises' adaptation to tax reform. Incentives such as tax subsidies or rebates help to reduce the financial burden, while training and education improve the understanding of Small and Medium Enterprises of the new rules. Thus, to achieve effective and equitable tax reform, a multifaceted approach is required involving improved regulations, increased access to technology, and ongoing support from the government.</p> Loso Judijanto Anggriani Husain Muhammad Syaiful Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-21 2024-08-21 1 6 1568 1581 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 'START WITH A QUESTION' STRATEGY IN HISTORY LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR CLASS XI STUDENTS AT SMA NEGERI 3 KENDARI https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/314 <p>This research employs an experimental design with test techniques, aiming to analyze descriptively and inferentially: (1) the influence of the "Start with a Question" learning strategy on the learning outcomes of class XI students at SMA Negeri 3 Kendari; (2) the influence of conventional learning strategies on the learning outcomes of class XI students at SMA Negeri 3 Kendari; (3) the differences in the influence on history learning outcomes between students taught using the "Start with a Question" learning strategy and those taught using conventional learning strategies. The population of this study consisted of all class XI students of SMA Negeri 3 Kendari, totaling 4 classes. The research sample was taken through multistage probability sampling, a form of random sampling of complex groups. This method considered that two classes had relatively similar abilities, sat in the same class, and were not divided based on student level. The experimental and control classes were determined randomly, with class XI.IS4 serving as the experimental class that implemented the "Start with a Question" learning strategy. Based on this perception, the researcher took 25% of the total population (more than 100) as a sample. The sample size in this study was 25% x 145 = 36. One reason for selecting a sample of 36 students was that each class included several students with poor attendance records. Data was collected through observation sheets and history test results, in multiple-choice format. The hypothesis was tested using a single sample t-test. If t count &gt; &gt; t<sub>(1-α,(n1+n2)-2)</sub> or P value &lt; α, then H0 is accepted; otherwise, H0 is rejected. The results of the data analysis indicate that: (1) the history learning outcomes of students who applied the "Start with a Question" learning strategy were categorically very good, with 77.78% of students scoring between 80 and 100, and an average score of 83.96; (2) the history learning outcomes of students who applied conventional learning strategies were categorically moderate, with 72.22% of students scoring between 65 and 75, and an average score of 70.07; (3) the "Start with a Question" learning strategy positively influenced the learning outcomes on the material of Japanese colonialization and its impact on the lives of Indonesian people, with t = 10,575 = t<sub>(1-α; (n1+n2) -2)</sub> = t<sub>(0,95;70)</sub>)), resulting in the rejection of H0.</p> Suharni Suddin Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-21 2024-08-21 1 6 1582 1594 UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF JUSTICE IN THE QURAN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN ISLAMIC LAW https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/315 <p>The concept of justice enshrined in the Quran emphasizes the principles of balance, equality, and respect for individual rights regardless of one's social status, gender, or ethnic background. The Quran emphasizes the importance of social justice through the command to act justly even when faced with situations that challenge the individual or family, as stated in Surah An-Nisa verse 135. The verses remind us that the implementation of justice must include honesty in actions and avoiding discrimination and preconceptions. In addition, the Quran states the importance of justice in economic and political aspects, including through the zakat system and the prohibition of usury, which aim to reduce social disparities and ensure a more equitable distribution of wealth. These principles of justice also apply to governance, with an emphasis on integrity, transparency and accountability. The application of justice in Islamic law (sharia) is realized through various legal mechanisms and institutions that refer to Quranic principles. For example, Islamic criminal law contains specific provisions on fair legal procedures and the rejection of unfair or oppressive acts, while Islamic family law protects the rights of women and children and ensures fairness in the distribution of inheritance. However, there are significant challenges in implementing these concepts of justice uniformly across Muslim communities, largely due to differences in interpretation among the various madhhabs (schools) or schools of Islamic law, as well as the influence of state policies and political dynamics. Overcoming this imbalance requires wise policies and an unwavering commitment to the values of justice taught in the Qur'an.</p> Haidi Hajar Widagdo Zulkifli Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-08-21 2024-08-21 1 6 1595 1607 THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTER EDUCATION IN SHAPING THE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/316 <p>Character education in primary schools is an important element in the formation of a generation that behaves positively and responsibly. This education aims to instill moral and ethical values early on, so that students are able to distinguish between right and wrong and develop positive behaviors in everyday life. In addition, character education also serves to develop essential social skills, such as the ability to communicate, work together in teams, and resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner. These social skills are essential for building harmonious relationships and effective functioning of students in various social situations. By having a good moral, ethical and social skills foundation, students are able to adapt and contribute positively in their environment. In conclusion, character education in primary schools is an integral part of the curriculum that not only strengthens academic aspects but also shapes individuals with good character and morals. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions to ensure that character education is prioritized in the learning process in primary schools, in order to create the next generation with noble character and positive mentality.</p> Warlim Dr. Suryaningsih, S.S., M.Pd.K.

This study collects and analyzes various existing literature, including journals, articles, and textbooks related to dividend policy, dividend payments, and investor behavior to understand the dynamic relationship between dividend policy and investor loyalty. By using a systematic analysis approach, this research identifies the factors that influence management decisions in determining dividend policy and how these decisions impact investors' perceptions and behavior. The results of the literature analysis show that a consistent and predictive dividend policy plays an important role in building investor confidence, which in turn can increase their loyalty to the company. A dividend policy that is responsive to investors' needs and preferences, and flexible to the company's economic and financial conditions, was found to be a key factor in retaining and attracting long-term investors. Additionally, transparency in dividend policy communication and the use of dividends as a positive signal regarding a company's financial health and growth prospects also contribute to stronger relationships with investors. This research underscores the importance of considering the impact of dividend policy on investor loyalty as part of a comprehensive investor relations management strategy. Implementing an effective dividend policy requires a deep understanding of investor preferences, market conditions, and the company's financial capabilities and projections. Thus, dividend policy not only functions as a wealth distribution mechanism, but also as a strategic instrument to increase loyalty and long-term value for shareholders.</p> Chairil Afandy Copyright (c) 2024 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND EDUCATION 2024-09-05 2024-09-05 1 6 1703 1714 USE OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN DATA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SECURITY https://btqur.or.id/index.php/injosedu/article/view/330 <p>In the current digital era, data security is a major concern in various industrial sectors. Blockchain, as the data distribution technology underlying cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, has shown significant potential in addressing various data security issues. This literature research aims to comprehensively examine the use of blockchain technology in improving the security of data distribution systems. Through a systematic review method, this research collects and analyzes various studies, articles and reports related to the use of blockchain in the context of data security. The literature review results show that blockchain offers several key security features, such as decentralization, resistance to manipulation, anonymity, and transparency, which can prevent cyberattacks and protect data integrity. However, this research also identifies challenges faced in blockchain implementation, including issues of scalability, energy efficiency, and compatibility with existing data systems.
