Syubbanul Wathon Junior High School Tegalrejo Magelang faces this challenge with increasing cases of bullying, both physically and verbally. This study aims to resolve conflicts due to bullying based on Mitchell’s conflict management theory, with the main stages: recognition, analysis, decision making, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. This study uses qualitative descriptive method with interviews, observation, and documentation as data collection techniques. The results of the study show that the resolution strategies implemented include strict supervision, guidance and counseling, socialization of the dangers of bullying, and mediation between the parties involved. The resolution process involves various parties, including BK teachers, homeroom teachers, and parents, with a mediation and education-based approach. This approach has proven effective in reducing bullying rates and creating a more conducive school environment.

Guru-guru mengakui adanya kebingungan saat implementasi kurikulum merdeka. Terdapat sekitar 40% guru yang belum sepenuhnya memahami tujuan, filosofi, dan metodologi Kurikulum Merdeka. Karena jumlah buku referensi yang sangat terbatas, guru menghadapi kesulitan dalam menyusun materi pelajaran untuk modul ajar. Selain itu, banyak guru yang tidak memahami konsep kurikulum belajar mandiri, sehingga proses pembelajaran tetap berpusat pada guru. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguraikan keterkaitan antara persepsi dan kesiapan dengan kinerja guru dalam penerapan kurikulum merdeka. Penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian korelasi kuantitatif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua guru SMAN Bukittinggi yang berjumlah 247 dengan sampel berjumlah 151 responden. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket dan di analisis dengan uji prasyarat, korelasi bivariate pearson dan korelasi berganda. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara persepsi guru dengan kinerja guru yang dibuktikan dengan nilai sig 0.000 &lt; 0.05 dan besar hubungannya yaitu hubungan yang cukup dengan nilai pearson correlation&nbsp; 0.428.

Guru telah merancang pembelajaran berbasis kolaborasi, namun tujuan yang kurang spesifik dan panduan diskusi yang belum terstruktur menjadi hambatan.

Evaluasi menunjukkan kemajuan dalam analisis informasi dan penyampaian ide, meskipun keterampilan mendengarkan aktif dan pola pikir logis masih perlu ditingkatkan. Kendala seperti keterbatasan waktu, minimnya teknologi, dan rendahnya kepercayaan diri siswa dapat diatasi dengan pelatihan intensif, media pembelajaran inovatif, dan integrasi tugas kelompok.

This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method and descriptive analysis of various studies and practices that have been implemented in technology-based Islamic education. The research results show that AI can provide a more interactive, adaptive, and personalized learning experience according to students' needs. However, there are several challenges that need to be addressed, such as dependence on technology, lack of understanding of ethics in the use of AI, and limitations in adapting learning content to Islamic values. Although there are positive impacts such as the increased understanding of religious concepts through interactive media, we must also be wary of the risk of reduced direct interaction between teachers and students. This can affect the affective aspect of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning.

Digitalization not only has an impact on the way information is delivered but also on the paradigm in education fundamentally. This study uses qualitative research with a literature review approach by collecting data from various valid and relevant academic sources. The analysis technique used in qualitative literature review research is theme analysis by grouping the findings into major topics that can describe the data patterns obtained. Technological developments present challenges in the form of obstacles to infrastructure and resources, inadequate digital skills and literacy of educators, and gaps between policy formulation and technology implementation in schools. Opportunities that can be utilized are improving the standards and effectiveness of the learning process, improving the technical digital competence of teachers in the field and strategic synergy between policies and technology implementation. Several things that are recommended as strategic planning steps are the formulation and development of more inclusive and adaptive Islamic education planning, developing an open and flexible curriculum by including digital literacy, investing to improve the development of technological infrastructure in educational institutions and implementing a managerial system to carry out continuous data-based monitoring and assessment.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Keywords: Islamic Education Planning, Information Technology, Digital Transformation</em></strong></p> Rastiana M.

This study aims to explain the history and background of the importance of planning in the world of education, as well as the factors that encourage the need for adaptive educational planning that is relevant to the development of the times. Educational planning is not only about formulating goals and strategies, but also includes an understanding of social, economic, political, and technological developments. Over the course of history, educational planning has evolved from being simple in early civilizations to becoming a structured and complex system. Various theories and approaches in educational planning have also changed to adapt to the demands of globalization and technological advances. This article reviews various perspectives from experts and emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context in designing effective educational planning. Thus, mature educational planning can support the achievement of better educational goals, as well as ensure inclusive and sustainable education in the future. This study also offers suggestions for improving the quality of educational planning to be more responsive to changes and community needs.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords: History, Background, Educational Planning</em></strong></p> Ikas Kasenda Sukirman Kalam Edi Zalharis Kasinyo Harto Fitri Oviyanti Copyright (c) 2025 Irfani (e-Journal) 2025-05-04 2025-05-04 21 1 177 187 10.30603/ir.v21i1.6289 IMPLEMENTASI GOOGLE EARTH SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN KONTEKSTUAL PADA MATA PELAJARAN GEOGRAFI https://journal.iaingorontalo.ac.id/index.php/ir/article/view/6302 <p><em>Effective geography education requires instructional media capable of visualizing spatial phenomena in a realistic and interactive manner.

The analysis reveals that Google Earth significantly enhances students’ comprehension of key geographical concepts, including absolute and relative location, spatial distribution, spatial interaction, and regional dynamics, through 3D visualizations and geospatial data exploration. Furthermore, its integration supports project-based and inquiry-based learning models aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. However, several challenges hinder its implementation, such as limited technological infrastructure, low digital literacy among educators and learners, and various technical issues.
