EXPLORING THE HUMANISM PHILOSOPHY THROUGH MOBILE LEARNING IN INDONESIA
This study aimed to explore the fuctions of humanism philosophy in mobile learning (m-learning) in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach through library research, this study analyzed the literature related to humanistic philosophy, educational technology, national regulations, and empirical studies on m-learning. The findings included (1) the shift in the teacher’s role toward a digital facilitator, (2) students’ self-actualization and learning autonomy in m-learning, (3) the integration of human values in the digital era and the challenges of social interaction, and (4) the alignment between educational regulations and philosophical foundations. Mobile learning has proven to support flexibility and independent learning; however, its predominantly technocentric use potentially weakens human values such as empathy, dialogue, and emotional closeness. Although national educational regulations through Merdeka Belajar policy are aligned with the humanistic approach, the implementation of m-learning requires more concrete pedagogical guidelines to ensure that technology truly humanizes learners. This study concluded that the integration of humanistic philosophy is essential in transforming m-learning from merely a medium for information delivery into a platform for self-development, character building, and the preservation of students’ dignity.

DIGITALIZATION IN LITERATURE LEARNING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The way elementary school students access, understand, and create literary texts is transformed by digitalization. However, the use of technology in literature learning often stops at the transfer of printed books to screens without adequate pedagogical design. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the importance of digitization in literature learning in elementary schools, the various types of media that can be used, the advantages and disadvantages of its utilization, and the methods that can be applied to achieve it. This research conducted a literature review using a qualitative descriptive method. The selected coverage comes from books, articles, and reports from international institutions that discuss children's literature, digital stories, multimedia learning, digital literacy, and reading on screens. The data analysis process includes reduction, theme grouping, result comparison, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that when multimedia elements align with learning objectives, such as digital stories, e-books, digital comics, animated videos, story production projects, and engagement, vocabulary, story comprehension, writing skills, and digital literacy, students can be improved. However, irrelevant interactions, screen use without guidance, inappropriate device usage, excessive animations, and the lack of digital skills among teachers can reduce student comprehension and increase the learning gap. Therefore, digitalization should be seen as an enhancement and not a replacement for reading, discussion, appreciation, and value reflection activities. Content quality, teacher readiness, equitable access, child data protection, and literacy-focused learning evaluation are all factors that determine the success of implementation.

BIOGRAPHY AS A LEARNING RESOURCE IN MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION: A LITERATURE REVIEW STUDY IN THE CONTEXT OF INCLUSIVE CHARACTER FORMATION
This study examines the potential of biography as a learning resource in multicultural education for strengthening students’ inclusive character. Using a literature review supported by bibliometric mapping with VOSviewer, the study analyzed publication metadata obtained through Publish or Perish from Google Scholar within the 2016–2026 period. The review focused on the relationship between biography, education, literature, teaching, schools, students, and the Indonesian context. The findings show that education is the most central concept in the mapped literature, while biography appears as a relevant but still underdeveloped theme. Biography can function as a narrative-based pedagogical medium that introduces students to lived experiences, cultural diversity, moral struggle, empathy, tolerance, and social responsibility. The study concludes that biography-based learning has strong relevance for multicultural education, particularly in plural societies such as Indonesia, but further empirical research is needed to test its classroom implementation and impact on students’ inclusive attitudes and character development directly.

PENDIDIKAN KEWARGANEGARAAN DAN RESIKO POLARISASI SOSIAL BERBASIS RELIGIUS: ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS TERHADAP KURIKULUM DAN PRAKTIK PEMBELAJARAN
Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan (PKn) secara teoretis berfungsi sebagai perekat integrasi nasional, namun di tengah meningkatnya politik identitas, terdapat kekhawatiran bahwa PKn justru bertransformasi menjadi instrumen yang memperlebar jarak sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana interpretasi nilai-nilai kewarganegaraan yang bersinggungan dengan sentimen religius dapat memicu polarisasi di masyarakat multikultural. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka dan analisis wacana kritis terhadap materi ajar serta literatur kebijakan pendidikan terkini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa infiltrasi tafsir keagamaan yang eksklusif ke dalam kurikulum PKn menciptakan dikotomi antara identitas kebangsaan dan identitas religius, yang pada gilirannya mengonsolidasi kelompok-kelompok sosial ke dalam kutub yang saling berhadapan. Penggunaan narasi "warga negara ideal" yang hanya berbasis pada satu perspektif dogma tertentu terbukti melemahkan kohesi sosial siswa di lingkungan pendidikan. Simpulan dari penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa tanpa adanya redesain kurikulum yang menekankan pada literasi lintas agama dan netralitas pendidik, PKn berisiko menjadi alat segregasi ideologis. Diperlukan penguatan nilai-nilai kewargaan yang inklusif untuk memitigasi dampak polarisasi sosial agar tujuan awal integrasi nasional tetap terjaga.

CONSUMER LEGAL PROTECTION IN STANDARD AGREEMENTS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF CIVIL LAW RESEARCH IN INDONESIA
Standard-form contracts are contractual instruments widely used in relationships between business actors and consumers because they provide efficiency and legal certainty. However, the practice of standard-form contracts often raises issues of legal protection due to the imbalance of bargaining power between the parties. This article aims to systematically analyze the development of studies on consumer legal protection in standard-form contracts based on civil law research in Indonesia. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by examining national journal articles published during the period 2015–2024 and indexed in Google Scholar, Garuda, and SINTA databases. The literature selection process followed the PRISMA principles and was analyzed using a thematic approach. The findings indicate that research on consumer legal protection in standard-form contracts has increased, yet remains dominated by normative juridical approaches. The most frequently discussed themes include the imbalance of bargaining power, standard clauses that disadvantage consumers, and the limitation of the principle of freedom of contract. Meanwhile, empirical studies and discussions concerning standard-form contracts in digital transactions remain relatively limited. This study concludes that consumer legal protection in standard-form contracts constitutes a structural issue in civil law, requiring the strengthening of empirical approaches and the adaptation of legal frameworks to the dynamics of modern transactions.

EFFORTS TO DEVELOP CHARACTER VALUES THROUGH THE DISCOVERY OF THE BOJONGMENJE TEMPLE SITE
This article describes a historical discovery of the Bojongmenje Temple Site which should provide a forum for the formation of the character of the local community, considering that a history must have cultural values. The purpose of this article is to examine efforts to build character values around the Bojongmenje temple discovery site. These results indicate that the discovery of the Bojongmenje Temple site does not have a significant impact on the formation of the character values of the local community. The many efforts that have been made by the management have not been able to make everyone care about taking the side of the historical values of the Bojongmenje site. As values in society are starting to fade, it will be interesting to see if a discovery site can change its current character. Overall, this is an interesting point for further research by identifying the causes of deficient character formation.

The Intersection of Citizenship and Freedom of Religion: Legal Challenges in a Multicultural Society
This study investigates the correlation between citizenship status and religious freedom within Indonesia's multicultural society, emphasizing the legal obstacles encountered by religious minority groups. The methodology employed is a normative-doctrinal legal approach, analyzing several national legal instruments, Constitutional Court rulings, and literature on legal and human rights. The research findings indicate a discrepancy between constitutional provisions that ensure religious freedom and prevailing legal practices that are often discriminatory. For instance, restrictions persist that restrict access to civil registry and marriage for followers of faiths beyond the six recognized religions. Furthermore, the legal status of groups like Ahmadiyah and practitioners of indigenous traditions signifies a de facto exclusion from citizenship. The findings suggest that the Indonesian legal system has not yet adequately ensured the concept of non-discrimination within the context of an inclusive rule of law. This research advocates for the enhancement of the alignment between positive legal norms and constitutional ideals, as well as the facilitation of additional studies utilizing comparative and empirical methodologies to advance equitable legal protection for minority groups.

Optimizing Pancasila Education Learning With PBL: Time Management Strategies To Build Students' Discipline And Independence
This research reveals that many students have low time discipline and independence. This often occurs because the learning methods used are less able to encourage students' personal involvement and the development of their skills (psychomotor).The implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in Pancasila Education subjects can help students learn to better manage their time, thereby increasing their discipline and independence. Through PBL, important skills such as time management and responsibility can be taught, which are useful in everyday life. This article aims to explore time management strategies as an important factor in supporting the enhancement of student discipline and independence. It is hoped that problem based learning can optimize the PPKn learning process and significantly impact the students' character and social skills. The research method used in this study is qualitative research using a case study approach. The data collection techniques used in this case study research are observation, interview, and documentation methods. The results of the study show that PBL can help build student discipline and independence, although there are challenges in understanding the issues that affect their time management. This research recommends the use of reflective training and time management techniques, such as the Pomodoro technique, to support students in optimizing their skills in managing time and completing tasks.
Outdoor Learning: Changing The View Of The Boring Subject Of Pancasila Education In Elementary School
Pancasila Education as a compulsory subject in elementary schools is often seen as boring learning due to monotonous and conventional teaching methods. This study aims to examine how the implementation of outdoor learning methods can be an effective solution in changing students' perceptions of Pancasila Education subjects. Using a systematic literature review method, this research analyzes various reference sources related to the implementation of outdoor learning in learning Pancasila Education at the elementary school level. The method in writing this article uses a case study method with data collection techniques, namely interviews, observations, and literature studies. The results showed that outdoor learning succeeded in changing the learning paradigm from theoretical to more dynamic and meaningful. This method allows students to observe, feel, and practice Pancasila values directly through real experiences in the surrounding environment. Some effective implementation strategies include contextualized material planning, outdoor deliberation simulation, project-based approach, and joint reflection. The implementation of outdoor learning is proven to increase students' interest in learning and understanding of Pancasila Education materials, as well as help internalize Pancasila values through meaningful hands-on activities.
