This study examines the influence of the Sekolah Kardinah innovation on community satisfaction at Kardinah Regional Hospital, Tegal City. Sekolah Kardinah is an integrated childcare and early childhood education service designed to support patients and families during healthcare visits. Using a quantitative correlational approach, data were collected from 120 service users through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The findings indicate that Sekolah Kardinah innovation positively and significantly affects community satisfaction. Human resource quality and service safety emerged as the most important dimensions contributing to positive user experiences. The innovation also enhanced comfort, trust, and willingness to reuse the service. The study highlights the importance of family-centered service innovation in creating public value and improving healthcare experiences. The findings contribute to the literature on public service innovation and healthcare management by demonstrating how cross-sector integration between healthcare and education can strengthen community satisfaction and organizational performance.

Writing is a fundamental language skill that supports students’ ability to communicate ideas, construct knowledge, and achieve academic success. However, many elementary school students continue to experience difficulties in generating ideas, organizing paragraphs, and expressing thoughts effectively in written form. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Think Talk Write (TTW) cooperative learning model on the writing skills of fourth-grade students at SDN 11 Sengkuang Bora, Melawi Regency, West Kalimantan. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 22 fourth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected through writing tests administered before and after the implementation of the TTW model. Students’ writing performance was assessed based on content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and a paired-sample t-test with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics Version 27. The results revealed that students’ mean writing score increased from 62.77 in the pretest to 77.95 in the posttest, indicating an improvement of 15.18 points. The normality test confirmed that both datasets were normally distributed, with significance values greater than 0.05. Furthermore, the paired-sample t-test produced a significance value of 0.000, which was lower than the 0.05 significance level. These findings indicate that the Think Talk Write learning model had a significant positive effect on students’ writing skills. The study concludes that TTW is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing elementary students’ writing achievement by promoting active thinking, collaborative discussion, and structured writing practices.

Ethnopedagogical Learning Management Based on Banten Culture: An Innovation for Strengthening Early Childhood Character through the Integration of Digital Portfolios

The limited integration of local cultural values into early childhood education management has raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of character development programs in increasingly globalized societies. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an ethnopedagogical learning management model based on Banten local culture integrated with digital portfolios in strengthening early childhood character. A quantitative approach employing a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was utilized. The study involved 130 children aged 4–6 years from several kindergartens in Banten Province, Indonesia, who were assigned to experimental and control groups. The intervention was implemented through a structured learning management model that incorporated local cultural values into planning, implementation, assessment, and stakeholder collaboration processes, while digital portfolios were used to document and monitor children's developmental progress. Data were collected using validated observation instruments measuring three dimensions of character development: discipline, empathy, and independence. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, independent sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). The experimental group achieved a high effectiveness category with an average N-Gain score of 0.75, compared to 0.32 in the control group. The results indicate that the integration of ethnopedagogical principles and digital portfolio systems contributes not only to improved character development but also to more culturally responsive and sustainable educational management practices. The study highlights the potential of culture-based learning management as a strategic approach for strengthening children's character while preserving local cultural identity in the digital era.
