Objective Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an urgent and substantial public health concern among adolescents. This study is aimed at identifying the independent psychological predictors of NSSI and developing and validating a logistic regression-based risk discrimination model focused on coping styles. Methods A cross-sectional study involving 206 adolescents (104 with NSSI and 102 healthy controls) was conducted. All the participants provided general demographic data, and completed the Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory (ECR), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form Version (CTQ-SF), and the Coping Styles Questionnaire (CSQ). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the independent predictors of NSSI. A nomogram was constructed in accordance with the final multivariate model. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots, the Hosmer-Lemeshow (HL) test, and a decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Multivariate logistic regression revealed that a higher level of self-blame (OR = 1.062; 95% CI: 1.023–1.102; P = 0.002) was an independent risk factor, whereas a better problem-solving capacity (OR = 0.911; 95% CI: 0.867–0.957; P < 0.001) was an independent protective factor for adolescents with NSSI. Attachment dimensions and childhood trauma did not retain independent significance after adjustment. The nomogram showed excellent discrimination (AUC = 0.951, 95% CI: 0.922–0.980), good calibration (HL test P > 0.05), and superior clinical net benefit across a wide threshold (0.01–0.99). Conclusion Targeting self-blame and enhancing problem-solving skills may be effective styles for the prevention of adolescent NSSI. As a preliminary finding, the nomogram developed in our study is a useful tool for exploratory differentiation.

Introduction Anticipating an opponent's actions is central to performance in team sports such as soccer, where a player must select the correct response within a fraction of a second. Perceptual-cognitive expertise in anticipation is well documented, but standard measures (response time, accuracy, or option choice) capture only the discrete response produced at a single moment and leave the preparatory processing that precedes it unobserved. Building on evidence that hand and cursor movements reveal cognition as it unfolds, the present study examined, as a proof of concept, whether continuous cursor tracking can read out the pre-response preparatory state in a sports anticipation task. Methods Twelve skilled soccer players and twelve novices watched soccer pass-course clips and anticipated which teammate would receive the ball by moving a cursor; the video was stopped at the final frame (the moment a response was required), and the same clips were repeated across three blocks. Two continuous measures were defined: the cursor's Euclidean distance to the correct receiver at response onset (a spatial index of where the participant was poised) and the increase in cursor velocity in the window immediately before response onset (a temporal index of the movement toward the response). Results Compared with novices, skilled players anticipated more accurately, were poised closer to the correct receiver, and showed a larger velocity increase; control analyses argued against the velocity difference being a by-product of the total amount of movement. In an exploratory analysis, the positional difference emerged across repeated presentations of the same clips and was largest in the final block. In addition, the velocity difference was already present in the first presentation, and no significant change across repeated presentations was detected. Discussion The pre-response preparatory state is observed in both a spatial aspect (where one is poised) and a temporal aspect (how one moves toward the response). Because in basic reaching research the position and the velocity of movement index different aspects of decision-making, capturing both under a single continuous measure (which discrete responses cannot) provides a basis for measuring the decision-making processes that underlie anticipation in sport.

Nature-based extreme sports are often framed through sensation seeking, thrill, and voluntary exposure to risk, yet this framing can obscure the meanings participants attach to prolonged engagement with demanding natural environments. This study explored how experienced South African participants interpreted the relationship between nature-based extreme sport participation and eco-sensitivity. In this article, eco-sensitivity refers to participants' reported environmental attention, affective connection with nature, recognition of ecological dependence, concern about degradation, and efforts to reduce personal impact. A qualitative design using interpretative phenomenological analysis was applied to semi-structured interviews conducted between 29 April and 4 July 2019 with 10 experienced participants, five men and five women, who represented 11 nature-based extreme sport activities and reported two to 22 years of experience. Four interconnected themes were identified: risk as a managed component of participation; connection rather than conquest; sensory sensitivity and experiences consistent with mindfulness and flow; and eco-sensitivity and self-reported pro-environmental orientation. Participants described risk as something to calculate and manage through competence, preparation, and situational judgement. They also described respect for natural forces, heightened bodily and environmental attention, and a stronger sense of ecological dependence. Reported pro-environmental practices were self-reported and were not independently observed. The findings provide an interpretive account of how participants made sense of environmental meanings within prolonged outdoor sport involvement. They do not establish a causal developmental mechanism. The results suggest propositions for athlete education, outdoor recreation management, environmental learning, and future longitudinal research. Keywords: eco-sensitivity; extreme sport; interpretative phenomenological analysis; nature connectedness; pro-environmental behaviour; risk management.

Background Rooted in positive psychology, human flourishing scholarship focuses on the presence of health and wellbeing beyond the absence of illness. Contemporary flourishing research has increasingly expanded its focus beyond individuals to larger systems, including families. Family flourishing is an emerging concept with limited clarity in its conceptualizations and measurements. This scoping review synthesized existing literature on the unit-level conceptualizations and operationalizations of family flourishing and wellbeing and examined the extent to which existing measures align with contemporary understandings of human flourishing. Methods Arksey and O'Malley's methodology and the PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines were followed. Searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC, PsycINFO, Social Work Abstracts, Academic Search Premier, and Web of Science. Eligible studies presented explicit unit-level conceptualizations or quantitative measures of family flourishing or wellbeing as a multidimensional construct. Only studies written in English and published since 2000 were included. Title and abstract screening, full-text screening, and data extraction were conducted by two independent researchers, while monitoring inter-coder reliability. Discrepancies were resolved through consensus in consultation with the PI. Data extraction utilized a standardized form for consistency, which was iteratively revised through discussion. Results The final sample included 13 studies, which represented diverse regions, including China, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the United States. Studies were published between 2005 and 2025, with most studies published since 2020. Seven quantitative measures of family wellbeing were identified while no family flourishing measures were found. Conceptualizations represented diverse roots including Aristotelian eudaimonia, Indigenous cultural beliefs, and local spiritual teachings. While boundaries were often unclear, six broad categories of conceptualizations were identified, including relational/functional. eudaimonic/existential, hedonic/emotional, social/community, socioeconomic/environmental, and spiritual/religious domains. Relational/functional domains were most frequently covered while spiritual/religious domains were least frequently covered by existing measures. Most measures were developed more than a decade ago, and psychometric evidence beyond internal consistency was limited. Conclusion Family flourishing is an underdeveloped but promising area of scholarship. Further studies are needed to achieve greater conceptual clarity and to develop culturally responsive and psychometrically robust measures.

Background: Emerging adulthood is a vulnerable developmental period for suicidal ideation. Psychological pain is often associated to its occurrence, however, the factors related to the transition from psychological pain to suicidal ideation remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze the mediating capacity of entrapment and the moderating capacity of meaning in life in the relationship between psychological pain and suicidal ideation during emerging adulthood. Methods: Participants were Spanish emerging adults who completed a battery of questionnaires through LimeSurvey platform. A moderated mediation was conducted. Results: The model explained 63.8% of the variance in suicidal ideation. Entrapment mediated the relationship between psychological pain and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, at low levels of meaning in life, psychological pain was positively associated with suicidal ideation, while at high levels, the association was no longer significant. Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of assessing psychological pain and entrapment as potential risk factors of suicidal ideation during emerging adulthood, and support the development of interventions aimed at fostering their meaning in life.

This study examined the reported levels of reading skills, writing skills, academic success, and challenges in literacy development among Grade 5 and Grade 6 learners. The study was conducted in selected public elementary schools in Lutayan, Sultan Kudarat during the School Year 2025–2026. A quantitative descriptive-correlational research design was employed. The respondents were 56 learners selected through proportionate sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-developed 40-item questionnaire covering reading skills (comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency); writing skills (syntax, grammar, and morphology); academic success; and challenges in reading and writing. The instrument obtained a mean validity score of 4.36 and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.762, indicating acceptable internal consistency. Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that learners reported a very high level of reading skills (M = 4.40) and writing skills (M = 4.51). Academic success was reported as Very Satisfactory (M = 4.50), while challenges in developing literacy skills were reported as Challenged (M = 3.71). The correlation analysis showed a negligible positive relationship between reading skills and academic success (r = 0.119) and a negligible negative relationship between writing skills and academic success (r = -0.097). Neither relationship was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The findings suggest that although learners reported high levels of reading and writing skills, these skills alone were not significantly related to their reported academic success. Other factors may also contribute to learners’ academic development.

Final-year engineering students frequently face severe psychological stress driven by demanding capstone projects and rigorous accreditation standards. This research proposes a novel decision-support framework to objectively evaluate, categorize, and systematically manage academic stress among engineering undergraduates. By integrating automated non-parametric machine learning with a multi-criteria network decision model, the research bridges diagnostic psychological profiling and strategic institutional intervention. Data were gathered from six hundred eleven final-year students across four engineering departments using a validated psychometric questionnaire. The automated classification engine utilizes a nearest-neighbor algorithm based on spatial Euclidean proximity to categorize individual distress severity into depression, anxiety, and stress levels without relying on rigid parametric assumptions. Subsequently, a strategic situational assessment and a multi-perspective personal performance framework were established to translate abstract psychological findings into measurable indicators. Clinical experts and academic domain specialists evaluated these indicators using an analytical network process, incorporating complex interdependencies and feedback loops to compute steady-state priority weights. Empirical results revealed that over ninety percent of respondents experienced at least moderate psychological distress. Crucially, the mathematical prioritization demonstrated that the financial perspective holds the paramount priority weight, followed by internal cognitive resilience, continuous knowledge acquisition, and external social relationships. This proves that financial stability serves as a foundational prerequisite for academic recovery and intellectual execution. The primary contribution of this research lies in converting static psychometric evaluations into a dynamic, clinically validated decision-support tool. Higher education institutions and academic counselors can implement this prioritized framework to allocate institutional resources effectively, design targeted financial relief initiatives, and optimize student well-being alongside academic excellence.

Physics instructors often rely on demonstrations when teaching, using real-time examples to appeal to student intuition or tinkering with a physical system to develop a deeper and more natural understanding of a topic. However, some subjects, like Kepler's laws of planetary motion, are impractical to demonstrate at a human scale, and when reality proves difficult, it is often easier to move to simulations and video games. In particular, using video games in the classroom benefits student learning and allows students to learn practical information that they can transfer to the real world. The video game Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is notable for its commitment to accurate simulation of rockets and orbits, allowing players to explore the in-game solar system with their Kerbal astronauts only if they have mastered the laws of orbital dynamics. In my personal experience, I gained a better intuition about orbits during my years playing KSP than I did in graduate school, a common sentiment within the KSP community. I use KSP in my college introductory astronomy courses to make Kepler's laws more tactile with demonstrations and projects, developing intuition on advanced aspects of rocket science through experiments that are otherwise impractical at interplanetary scales.

This study aims to synthesize the relationship between deep learning strategies and students' critical thinking skills within the context of Economics education. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, we examined 24 scholarly publications. The synthesis reveals three key findings: (1) a deep learning approach has a significant influence on higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and critical thinking abilities; however, this relationship is complex and mediated by variables such as epistemological beliefs, perceptions of the learning context, and intrinsic motivation. (2) The adoption of a deep learning approach does not automatically result in high-level critical thinking skills; therefore, such skills require explicit and structured development. (3) Inquiry-based learning strategies, structured collaboration, and the integration of technology as a cognitive scaffold have proven most effective in promoting both aspects synergistically. This study offers practical implications for the design of Economics instruction—specifically regarding the cultivation of deep knowledge and the development of critical thinking skills—within the framework of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum).

Pesantren-based madrasahs may organize religious and general learning through two configurations, separated and integrated, yet students' experiences under the two configurations are rarely compared sequentially within one institution. Prior studies mostly address the epistemological and curricular dimensions of knowledge integration, while students' experiences under both configurations have not been compared directly. This study compares academic achievement, religious understanding, and student well-being between the cohort of students who studied under the separated system and the cohort who later studied under the integrated system at MA Khozinatul Ulum Blora, as reported by teachers and students. It uses an embedded case study with two units of analysis. Thirteen informants took part: five students from each cohort, one madrasah diniyah teacher, one general subject teacher, and one deputy head for curriculum. Data came from semi-structured interviews for both cohorts, along with observation and document analysis for the currently running integrated system, analyzed thematically with triangulation. Three differences emerged. Separated-system students described more structured learning, whereas integrated-system students described difficulty keeping focus as the scope of material widened. Broader religious understanding across subjects was described by integrated-system students, while separated-system students tied it to religion class hours. Fatigue was reported more often in the integrated group. The study contributes a comparison of two periods of learning systems within one institution.

The urgency of this research lies in the importance of formative assessment for monitoring students’ learning progress and improving Pancasila Education in elementary schools. However, its implementation still faces challenges, including limited time, administrative workload, insufficient instrument variety, and suboptimal use of feedback. This study aims to analyze teachers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of formative assessment instruments, identify implementation barriers, and describe teachers’ efforts to overcome these challenges in Grade V at SD Negeri 071202 Helezalulu. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving two Grade V teachers, one school principal, and four students as informants. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Data trustworthiness was examined through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that teachers perceived formative assessment instruments positively because they helped monitor students’ understanding, identify learning difficulties, provide feedback, and determine instructional follow-up. The identified barriers were addressed through instrument simplification, careful planning, staged assessment, reflection, and teacher collaboration. The study concludes that formative assessment effectiveness depends not only on instrument quality but also on teacher competence, student characteristics, and school support. ABSTRAK Urgensi penelitian ini terletak pada pentingnya penilaian formatif untuk memantau perkembangan belajar siswa dan memperbaiki pembelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila di sekolah dasar.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis persepsi guru terhadap efektivitas instrumen penilaian formatif, mengidentifikasi hambatan penerapannya, serta mendeskripsikan upaya guru dalam mengatasi hambatan tersebut di kelas V SD Negeri 071202 Helezalulu. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan melibatkan dua guru kelas V, satu kepala sekolah, dan empat siswa sebagai informan. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui open coding, axial coding, dan selective coding. Keabsahan data diperiksa melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru memiliki persepsi positif terhadap efektivitas instrumen penilaian formatif dalam memantau pemahaman siswa, mengidentifikasi kesulitan belajar, memberikan umpan balik, dan menentukan tindak lanjut pembelajaran. Kendala diatasi melalui penyederhanaan instrumen, perencanaan, penilaian bertahap, refleksi, dan kolaborasi antarguru. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa efektivitas penilaian formatif bergantung pada kualitas instrumen, kompetensi guru, karakteristik siswa, dan dukungan sekolah.

This research explores how learning science through Project-Based Learning (PBL) can increase student engagement by influencing student interest and academic performance in the 7th-grade classroom. While elementary students often enjoy science because it is very hands-on, middle school introduces a more structured instruction, which can reduce student motivation and lead to a decrease in engagement. This study sought to understand whether Project-Based Learning (PBL) could help bridge the gap between engagement and rigor. PBL provides students with opportunities to explore authentic, real-world problems, collaborate with peers, and apply scientific concepts in meaningful contexts. Students actively construct knowledge through inquiry, experimentation, and reflection. These elements align closely with the goals of middle school science education—to foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills while maintaining student interest and joy in learning. The study was conducted in two 7th-grade science classrooms, one of which included a dual-language Spanish program. Students participated in science units designed around PBL principles that emphasized inquiry-based projects, collaboration, and student choice. Data were collected using pre- and post-interest surveys and pre- and post-unit assessments to measure shifts in student attitudes, engagement, and academic performance.

This action research study examined the relationship between social–emotional learning (SEL) and early mathematical achievement among transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students in a large urban Title I elementary school. National organizations emphasize that high-quality mathematics instruction for young children must consider cognitive, linguistic, physical, and social–emotional development. Guided by this framework, the study investigated whether systematic SEL instruction using the district adopted Second Step curriculum would increase students’ SEL competencies and support growth in foundational math skills measured by the Eureka Math Module 4 assessment. Using a pre- and post-test design, data were collected from eight students who received structured SEL and mathematics instruction over one semester. Results indicated consistent improvement in students’ SEL competencies, including executive functioning skills, alongside significant gains in mathematical performance. These findings align with prior research suggesting that SEL supports school readiness, adaptive learning behaviors, and academic achievement.

The purpose of this action research study was to explore how humorous science books can be purposefully integrated into elementary science instruction to enhance student engagement and conceptual understanding. Participants included nineteen second-grade students, ages seven to eight. The study examined the impact of teacher-led, intentional humor embedded in science texts featuring jokes, playful language, and a narrative voice. Data were collected through pre- and post-surveys assessing students’ understanding of grade-level science concepts, as well as their interest in and enjoyment of science learning. Results indicated that students responded positively to humorous science texts and demonstrated gains in content knowledge. These results suggest that humor can serve as an effective instructional strategy and that engaging, humorous science books can be a meaningful tool in elementary science education.

Islamic Cultural History (Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam/SKI) learning requires students to understand values and meaning beyond historical facts, yet empirical explanations of how storytelling connects narratives with students’ meaning-making remain limited. This study analyzes storytelling as a narrative pedagogy practice in SKI learning, identifies its pedagogical potential and limitations in supporting students’ understanding and meaning-making of Islamic historical narratives, and formulates a conceptual model of the meaning-making process emerging from the practice. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed at MA Khozinatul ‘Ulum Blora. Data were obtained from 10 informants, comprising one Grade XI SKI teacher, one vice principal for curriculum affairs, and eight Grade XI students, through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that storytelling was implemented dialogically and adaptively rather than as a stand-alone method, being integrated with teacher explanations, questions, and classroom discussions. The practice supported students’ understanding of historical events, figures, conflicts, and values, while its limitations included students’ perceived difficulty in recalling factual details when narratives were lengthy or contained numerous names and dates, as well as dependence on teacher mediation. Meaning-making developed through narrative understanding, personal reflection, and pedagogical dialogue. The study contributes the Multi-Pathway Meaning-Making model, which conceptualizes storytelling as a trigger for engagement and meaning-making rather than as a single causal mechanism.

Project-Based Learning can deepen content understanding, promote real-world application, and foster student interest in math and science. This study examines the effect of a 6-week Project-Based Learning (PBL) unit, “The Dirt on Community Gardens,” on student content knowledge and motivation in science and math. The unit addresses a lack of student knowledge by integrating life science (plant life cycles, nutrition) and math (area, perimeter, budgeting) into a real-world project. Students design and build container gardens, growing nutritionally balanced, edible plants for a live client. The project culminates in a community event to share garden solutions. By collaborating with community experts and managing a budget, students engage in problem-solving and critical thinking, which are key to developing skills necessary to become active, informed citizens. The goal is to demonstrate that real-world scenarios deepen learning.

Reading is one of the main ways through which middle school students learn English, and the quality of their reading depends largely on the level of thinking involved in the learning process. In actual teaching, however, many reading tasks remain at a low cognitive level, and students encounter difficulty when questions require inference, evaluation, or creation. SOLO taxonomy, which describes the structural complexity of observable learning outcomes, provides a basis for planning and assessing reading tasks across cognitive levels. Drawing on representative studies from China and abroad, this paper reviews research on the application of SOLO taxonomy in English reading teaching in middle schools. It traces the origin and development of the taxonomy, analyzes its compatibility with reading teaching, and examines two lines of applied research, namely SOLO-based reading teaching design and SOLO-based reading teaching assessment. The review indicates that design research has consolidated a working model of tiered objectives, ascending tasks, and question chains, while assessment research has produced level descriptions, evaluation scales, and process-oriented frameworks. And the two lines converge on aligning objectives, activities, and assessment within one level system. The field nevertheless remains constrained by predominantly case-based methods, scarce controlled or longitudinal evidence, and uneven attention between junior and senior high schools. The review concludes that SOLO taxonomy provides an operational definition of thinking depth in reading and supports the integration of teaching, learning, and assessment, but that future work requires more rigorous empirical designs, validated instruments, and broader coverage of learners and reading contexts.

This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in Pancasila Education, which was caused by a learning process that had not fully involved students actively. This study aimed to describe the implementation of the Role Playing learning strategy and analyze the improvement of students’ learning outcomes after its implementation. The study was conducted at UPTD SD Negeri 074038 TOHIA with 23 fourth-grade students as research subjects. This study employed Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research instruments consisted of teacher activity observation sheets, student activity observation sheets, and learning outcome tests. Data were collected through observation and tests. The results showed that the implementation of the Role Playing strategy improved the quality of the learning process and students’ learning outcomes. Teacher activity increased gradually in each meeting, while student activity also showed increased involvement throughout the learning process. The learning test results showed that the average student score in Cycle I was 63.43 with classical mastery of 39.13%, which increased in Cycle II to 77.17 with classical mastery of 86.95%. This improvement indicates that Role Playing provided students with active, contextual, and meaningful learning experiences that helped them understand Pancasila Education material more effectively. Therefore, the Role Playing learning strategy can be used as an alternative learning strategy to improve students’ learning outcomes in Pancasila Education at the elementary school level. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya hasil belajar peserta didik pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila yang disebabkan oleh proses pembelajaran yang belum sepenuhnya melibatkan peserta didik secara aktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan strategi pembelajaran Role Playing dan menganalisis peningkatan hasil belajar peserta didik setelah penerapan strategi tersebut. Penelitian dilaksanakan di UPTD SD Negeri 074038 TOHIA dengan subjek penelitian sebanyak 23 peserta didik kelas IV. Penelitian ini menggunakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus. Setiap siklus terdiri atas tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar observasi aktivitas guru, lembar observasi aktivitas peserta didik, dan tes hasil belajar. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi dan tes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan strategi Role Playing dapat meningkatkan kualitas proses dan hasil pembelajaran. Aktivitas guru meningkat secara bertahap dari setiap pertemuan, demikian pula aktivitas peserta didik yang menunjukkan peningkatan keterlibatan selama pembelajaran. Hasil tes menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata hasil belajar peserta didik pada Siklus I sebesar 63,43 dengan ketuntasan klasikal 39,13%, kemudian meningkat pada Siklus II menjadi 77,17 dengan ketuntasan klasikal 86,95%. Peningkatan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Role Playing mampu memberikan pengalaman belajar yang aktif, kontekstual, dan bermakna sehingga membantu peserta didik memahami materi Pendidikan Pancasila dengan lebih baik. Dengan demikian, strategi pembelajaran Role Playing dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu alternatif strategi pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila di sekolah dasar.

The integration of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Science represents a crucial approach to developing students' scientific competence while simultaneously strengthening Islamic values ​​and character. This study aims to identify the general and specific characteristics of integrated PAI and Science instruction, serving as an empirical foundation for developing an integrated learning model at MI Muhammadiyah Sains Qur'an (MIM SAINSQU) Balong. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through interviews with the principal, curriculum coordinator, PAI teachers, and classroom or Science teachers; classroom observations; and an analysis of relevant school and instructional documents. The findings indicate that this integration is realized through Quran-oriented contextualization, scientific inquiry, environment-based learning, active student participation, teacher facilitation, and the development of cognitive and affective competencies. However, implementation varies depending on the learning topic, teacher readiness, and the availability of integrated learning resources and assessment frameworks. The study concludes that MIM SAINSQU Balong possesses a strong institutional and pedagogical foundation for integrated PAI and Science instruction but requires a systematic model that coherently links scientific concepts, Quranic values, learning activities, resources, the roles of teachers and students, and assessment.
