THE IMPACT OF COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ON STUDENTS' HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDING IN SOCIAL STUDIES
Traditional history instruction often faces challenges in deeply engaging students, tending to focus on memorizing facts rather than developing conceptual and interpretive understanding. To address this, innovative approaches such as Collaborative Learning (CL) are crucial. This semi-systematic narrative review explores empirical evidence regarding the impact of CL on students' historical understanding in Social Studies, comparing it with traditional teaching methods. The literature indicates that CL significantly improves students' factual, conceptual, and interpretive understanding through social interactions, discussions, and project-based activities. CL has also been shown to strengthen critical and analytical thinking skills, enabling students to analyze historical events from multiple perspectives. The effectiveness of CL is moderated by factors such as student motivation, critical thinking skills, group dynamics, and teacher facilitation. While CL demonstrates positive outcomes, this review identifies significant research gaps, including a lack of longitudinal studies, a limited focus on interpretive understanding, a lack of concurrent quantitative and qualitative comparative studies, and the need for contextualization in developing countries. This review contributes to collaborative learning theory and Social Studies pedagogy by outlining the mechanisms by which CL influences historical understanding and providing practical implications for educators and curriculum developers.

MEASURING TEACHER WELFARE: A STUDY OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FACTORS
Teacher well-being is an essential factor in ensuring the quality of basic education. However, changes in education policy and the complexity of professional demands often lack adequate systemic support for teachers. This research aims to address the need for a more comprehensive understanding of teacher well-being, particularly in relation to professional development. The study focuses on four key aspects: the appropriateness of training programs, performance rewards, transparency in career development, and institutional support. This study adopted a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection was conducted through a survey of 300 elementary school teachers, in-depth interviews with teachers, principals, and education officials, as well as documentation and administrative observations in the Talang Padang District. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns in teachers' perceptions of their well-being, which were then validated through triangulation between various data collection techniques and participants. The research findings revealed that most teachers considered the training programs provided to be less suited to classroom needs, career development mechanisms were less transparent, and administrative support from the government was very limited. The lack of teacher involvement in the policy planning and evaluation process also exacerbated the situation. The expected output of this study is the formation of a conceptual and empirical basis that supports the formulation of a more participatory teacher professional development policy, based on real needs, and capable of improving teacher welfare comprehensively, both economically and professionally.

INVESTIGATING THE ROOT CAUSES OF THE RISING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AMONG GENERATION Z
This study aims to examine the root causes of the increase in cases of mental disorders in Generation Z, a demographic group born between 1997 and 2012, and known to be very familiar with the digital world. Mental disorders are defined as health conditions that affect a person's thoughts, feelings, or responses, including anxiety, depression, and stress that can cause physical symptoms. Determinants of mental health include socioeconomic, biological, and environmental aspects. Compared to previous generations, Gen Z shows higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. This study uses a literature review method, analyzing and summarizing previous studies from trusted academic databases such as Google Scholar, Sinta, and Garuda with keywords such as "causes of mental disorders", "mental disorders of Gen Z", and "generation Z". The results of the analysis indicate that the increase in mental disorders in Gen Z is caused by several main factors, namely intensive digital media use and internet addiction, family environment and parenting styles, unhealthy living environments, and negative peer influence. In addition, socioeconomic status also contributes to mental vulnerability. Gen Z's increased awareness and openness in discussing mental health issues has also made these cases more visible and documented. The 2018 RISKESDAS data shows that the prevalence of mental health disorders in adolescents aged 15 and above reached 6.1%, equivalent to 11 million people in Indonesia. Globally, one in seven children aged 10 to 19 experiences a mental disorder, yet most do not receive adequate treatment. Therefore, a thorough understanding of these factors is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.

THE CONCEPT OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN THE MORAL DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS AT MTS CINA
This study aims to describe in depth the application of the concept of Islamic education in the moral development of students at MTs Cina, Bone Regency. The background of this study is based on the increasing phenomenon of moral crisis among adolescents which is characterized by a decline in the values ​​of honesty, politeness, discipline, and social responsibility. As an Islamic educational institution, MTs has a strategic role in instilling noble moral values ​​to students through an exemplary and habituation approach.This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The subjects of the study consisted of the head of the madrasah, aqidah akhlak teachers, al-Qur'an reading and writing teachers, BK teachers, and MTs Cina students. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.The results of the study indicate that the concept of Islamic education is implemented through the dimensions of exemplary behavior, habituation, and moral development with an emphasis on the values ​​of honesty, humility, and patience. Teachers act as good examples in shaping the character of students. Habitual activities such as congregational prayer, tadarus, joint prayer, and instilling social values ​​through extracurricular activities are important means of internalizing Islamic values. However, there are still challenges in the implementation of moral development, such as the negative influence of social media, weak parental supervision, lack of internal awareness of students, and limited madrasah facilities.This study concludes that the concept of Islamic education applied in MTs Cina has proven effective in shaping the character of students, although it requires a sustainable strategy, synergy with families, and improvement of supporting facilities. This finding provides an important contribution in the development of an Islamic education model that emphasizes the integration of spiritual, moral, and social values ​​as the main foundation for the formation of a generation with noble character.

THE ROLE OF MENTORS AT TAHFIDZ ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS IN INTERNALIZING SELF-CONTROL VALUES AMONG STUDENTS IN WATAMPONE
Self-control is one of the key pillars in the continuous development of students’ character. This study aims to analyze the role of pembina (mentors) in the process of internalizing self-control values within the environment of tahfidz Islamic boarding schools in Watampone. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a field research design. The study was conducted at three tahfidz pesantren: Pondok Pesantren Baytul Mukarramah, Al-Junaidiyah Biru, and Ibnu Qayyim Wahdah Islamiyah Bone. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation, supported by literature review. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the role of pembina (mentors) in fostering students' self-control is carried out through four main functions: as educators, role models, motivators, and counselors. The value internalization process is implemented gradually through three stages of mentoring: ta’lim, tarbiyah, and takwin. Supporting factors include the exemplary conduct of pembina, a conducive pesantren environment, and parental involvement, while inhibiting factors include time constraints, lack of character training, and external environmental influences. The conclusion of this study highlights that pembina have a significant contribution in shaping students’ self-control cognitively, behaviorally, and morally within tahfidz Islamic boarding schools.
