This study aimed to reveal the obstacles, strategies, and results of instilling a disciplinary character through congregational prayer in Indonesian elementary schools. The method used in this study was a systematic literature review. The information used contained an attitude of discipline. The literature review process began by searching for relevant articles, evaluating them by data extraction, and then comparing the results of the literature. The database used was Google Scholar. The results of this study indicate that (1) Obstacles to instilling discipline include parents who lack or have not followed up on school programs that have been implemented in schools, students who are still unaware, and a lack of infrastructure. (2) The strategy found in dealing with obstacles in instilling disciplinary character is imposing sanctions on students who refuse to pray. (3) The results of cultivating discipline through congregational prayer can improve student worship discipline. The implications of this study are as follows: First, the teacher can set an example for their students in cultivating the character of discipline through the habit of congregational prayer at school. Second, parents can monitor the program that has been implemented at school. Third, students can become accustomed to doing good things, which they can then apply in everyday life. This study revealed the cultivation of discipline in Indonesian elementary schools comprehensively.
Through innovation and creativity, YouTube has developed into a teaching resource that improves learning. Students are increasingly using it as a platform for cooperative learning and to promote self-learning. However, it is debatable if YouTube videos are an effective tool for language instruction. Thus, this study identifies the opinions of English teachers regarding the usefulness, ease of use, and effectiveness of YouTube videos as a tool for language instruction. 100 English teachers from primary schools in Perak, Malaysia participated in the quantitative study design and survey method used to gather the data. The participants were elementary school English teachers who were selected from a convenience sample. The research found that English teachers had a favorable opinion of the value of YouTube videos as course resources. Their enthusiastic responses were a reflection of their support for YouTube inclusion in English language learning as well as their positive judgments of its usefulness, ease of use, and effectiveness. This is due to the abundance of visually appealing, entertaining, and diverse contents on YouTube, which boosts students' enthusiasm and interest in learning English. Moreover, teachers can also easily obtain teaching resources on YouTube.
