Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has recently been gaining popularity in a number of countries. This seems to have ramifications for increasing the intensity with which professional development programmes are implemented at both in-service and pre-service teacher levels. The present study provides a systematic literature review on scientific articles published between 2015 and 2021, examining how STEM teacher professional development programmes (STEMTPD) led in the pre-service teacher corpus. Following a screening process, 66 studies were found to be eligible and in compliance with the review criteria. The review's findings indicate a positive trend in STEM-TPD scientific articles, with an increase in publications from year to year in many countries. The majority of studies were conducted in the United States and Turkey using various research methods. The STEM-TPD programme is carried out in three areas, namely, included in existing courses, conducted outside of lectures, and carried out on newly developed courses. We also ultimately discuss the seven most frequently used elements of STEM-TPD and the types of participant collaboration.

TPACK is a trending teacher expertise framework for teaching using digital technology. However, not many studies have revealed the relationship of the seven TPACK factors with demographic factors. This study aimed to determine the effect of gender, teaching experience, place of teaching, and level of education on the perception of TPACK for science teachers. A total of 1,357 high school science teachers were involved in this research. The survey data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Overall results show that gender influences the perception of TPACK. On the teaching experience factor, teachers with less than five years of teaching experience have higher perceptions of TK, TPK, TCK, and TPACK. The teacher's workplace significantly differs in perceptions of TK and TCK. Regarding education level, teachers with a master's degree education have a higher and significantly higher TPACK perception than teachers with a bachelor's degree.

The concept of teacher identity plays an important role in improving teacher professionalism. However, most studies related to teacher identity in Indonesia are still rarely disclosed, especially the identity of physics teachers. Through a case study design, we aim to explore the identity of a student-teacher in the context of the Indonesian physics teacher preparation program. The participant was a fourth-year student, Syahrul (pseudonym), who was taking an internship program. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, learning observations, field notes, and document analysis, such as teacher syllabus, lesson plans, and students' worksheets. The results of this study reveal multi-layered perspectives of a physics student-teacher identity. We conclude that Syahrul's identity was constructed through rhetoric skills obtained from his involvement in student co-curricular activities such as involvement in a student organization formed by the university. Implications on physics teacher preparation programs are also discussed.

The notary makes a deed in the form of a PPJB deed based on a power of attorney agreement, which means that a legal relationship exists between the giver and the recipient of the power of attorney based on an agreement. The authority of a Notary to make an Authentic Deed comes from the provisions of Article 15 paragraph (1) UUJN. In order to avoid violations that could lead to Notarial actions that could be charged by criminal articles, Notaries in making Authentic Deeds, especially PPJB deeds, must always pay attention to the applicable legal rules. The formulation of the problem in this research is that regarding the position of the PPJB deed, it is known that the object is still in dispute in court and the legal consequences of the PPJB. This thesis uses normative legal research methods (library) with qualitative analysis of secondary data to obtain conclusions about the position of the PPJB deed, it is known that the object is still in dispute in court and is invalid because the legal act of buying and selling through the PPJB does not meet the requirements. the validity of the agreement regulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code and the material requirements in making a PPJB deed. As a legal consequence of the PPJB deed, it is known that its objec still under dispute in court, namely that it is null and void and is not binding on the parties who made it. So, the achievements that have been made will return to normal. Apart from that, this results in the Notary being asked to take responsibility under UUJN and the code of ethics in making PPJB deeds where it is known that the object is still in dispute in court.

This study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate an instructional design model to enhance the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of physics student teachers. Model development is accomplished in five stages over two years: 1) problem identification, 2) preliminary identification of the product and design concepts, 3) preliminary theories and products, 4) prototypes and assessments of early products and theories, and 5) final product and theory quality improvement. This study included three sets of participants: four professional teachers, four science education experts, and 54 physics student teachers. Following validation, revision, and implementation, it was determined that the Concept Mapping Content Representation-Lesson Study (CoMCoRe-LS) model was beneficial in enhancing pre-service teachers’ PCK. This study demonstrates an increase in student teachers' capacity to plan and implement courses, regardless of whether they have a strong or weak conceptual understanding. This model may serve as an alternative for assisting pre-service teachers in building PCK while enrolled in courses that combine classroom lectures and internships in schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Money waqf is one of the current method that i support community welfare. However, it is still limited study that highlighted the practical implementation of money waqf. Therefore, the aim of this research is to describe the role of cash waqf in improving the community's economy and the country's economic growth. Method: The method used is by literature research with a content analysis approach. Results: The research results show that the management/cash waqf management system found is still inadequate, thus hampering the realization of cash waqf by the community. However, if cash waqf is collected, it will become a new instrument for the government to boost the economy, especially in the post-pandemic period. Several areas that able to provide by cash waqf are education, healthcare, social services, and SMEs. However, the managerial system become crucial part to promote general welfare program in the society. Conclusion and suggestion: The managerial implication is that there is a need to educate the public about the function of cash waqf and train nazir to be able to manage waqf using technology. The realization of appropriate waqf funds will ultimately increase the level of waqif trust in transparent and accountable waqf management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
