IMPLEMENTASI METODE PROBLEM BASED LEARNING DALAM MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN FIKIH WANITA SANTRI DI PONDOK PESANTREN AL-AMIEN AMBULU

Novia Nurul Imamah — 2026-07-19

The learning of women's fiqh in Islamic boarding schools requires an appropriate approach to improve students' understanding of Islamic legal issues encountered in daily life. One of the approaches employed is Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a learning model that emphasizes problem-solving to encourage students' active participation. This study aims to describe the planning and implementation of PBL, analyze the improvement of students' understanding, and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation at Al-Amien Islamic Boarding School, Ambulu. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the implementation of PBL begins with systematic planning, followed by the presentation of contextual problems, individual analysis, argumentation, and collaborative discussion. The learning materials were based on the book Uyun al-Masail Linnisa’: Sumber Rujukan Permasalahan Wanita. The implementation of PBL enhanced students' understanding of women's fiqh, analytical skills, critical thinking, and their ability to apply Islamic law in daily life. Supporting factors included teacher competence, the availability of learning resources, and students' learning motivation, while inhibiting factors included differences in students' academic abilities, limited instructional time, and a lack of self-confidence.

REKONSTRUKSI RELASI IKHTIAR DAN TAKDIR DALAM NOVEL SANG ALKEMIS MELALUI KONSEP KASB AL-GHAZALI: PEMBACAAN HERMENEUTIKA GADAMER–RICOEUR ATAS PERJALANAN EKSISTENSIAL SANTIAGO

Fiki Nursanti — 2026-07-20

The growing popularity of spiritual trends such as manifesting and the law of attraction has revived philosophical debates concerning the relationship between human agency (ikhtiar) and divine destiny (takdir). Meanwhile, scholarly discussions of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist have largely emphasized symbolic and humanistic perspectives, leaving its interpretation within the framework of Islamic theology relatively unexplored. This study aims to reinterpret the relationship between ikhtiar and takdir in the novel through Al-Ghazali's concept of kasb. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study uses The Alchemist as the primary source, while Al-Ghazali's works and scholarly publications indexed in SINTA and Scopus serve as secondary sources. Data were analyzed by integrating the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer and Ricoeur with the conceptual framework of kasb. The findings indicate that Santiago's actions represent kasb as a form of human endeavor that remains subject to divine will. Furthermore, the concept of Maktub undergoes a contextual transformation from its Arab-Islamic theological horizon into global popular literature through the process of fusion of horizons. The study proposes the Ikhtiar–Kasb–Qudrah Hadithah–Maktub–Takdir–Existence model and introduces Kasb Hermeneutics as a novel interpretative approach for cross-cultural literary studies.

PENDIDIKAN MENJAGA LISAN DAN ETIKA BERKOMENTAR : REFLEKSI AJARAN ISLAM DI DUNIA MAYA

Evi Febriani — 2026-07-23

In today’s digital era, everyone can easily express their opinions through social media. However, this freedom is often misused, leading to harsh comments, slander, and hate speech. This article discusses the importance of guarding one’s speech and maintaining proper etiquette in commenting, based on Islamic teachings. In Islam, every word—spoken or written—carries moral responsibility and will be held accountable before Allah. The principle of “speaking good or remaining silent” serves as a fundamental guideline in all forms of communication, including online interactions. Through an analysis of verses from the Qur’an and Hadith, this article emphasizes that guarding one’s speech in the digital space is not only about politeness but also reflects one’s faith and character. By applying Islamic values in online communication, social media can become a medium for spreading goodness rather than a place for harm or conflict.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AT-TARTIL METHOD IN IMPROVING THE ABILITY TO READ THE QUR'AN AT THE BAITUL AMANAH TPQ

Avanda Salwa Salsabila — 2026-07-28

The ability to read the Qur'an is a fundamental competency that every student in a Qur'anic Education Center (TPQ) should possess to understand and practice Islamic teachings. However, many students still encounter difficulties in reading the Qur'an fluently, pronouncing the letters accurately (makhraj), and applying the rules of tajwid correctly. This condition highlights the need for an effective learning method, one of which is the At-Tartil Method. This study aims to describe the implementation of the At-Tartil Method in improving students' Qur'an reading ability at TPQ Baitul Amanah, explain the assessment system applied, and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The research participants consisted of the TPQ principal, teachers, and students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the At-Tartil Method is implemented systematically through read-and-listen activities, drill exercises, habituation in reading the Qur'an according to makhraj, tajwid, and gharib principles, as well as continuous evaluation. The implementation of this method has been shown to improve students' fluency, accuracy, and reading proficiency. Its successful implementation is supported by the competence of teachers, support from the TPQ principal and parents, and students' learning motivation. Meanwhile, the main obstacles include limited facilities and infrastructure, the absence of placement tests for new students, and inconsistent student attendance and learning discipline. Therefore, the At-Tartil Method can serve as an effective alternative for improving the quality of Qur'an reading instruction in Qur'anic Education Centers.

OPTIMALISASI PERUMUSAN TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN PAI MELALUI INTEGRASI PRINSIP ABCD DAN TAKSONOMI BLOOM: SEBUAH TINJAUAN TEORETIS

Anisah Fadhila Azri — 2026-07-31

Islamic Religious Education is a key foundation in the development of an individual’s character and morals. To achieve success in learning, a learning environment with measurable, clear, and well-defined learning objectives is essential. The purpose of this study is to examine the application of the ABCD principles (Audience, Behavior, Condition, Degree) and Bloom’s Taxonomy in formulating learning objectives for Islamic Religious Education. The research method employed in this study is qualitative, utilizing a literature review approach through descriptive analysis of various relevant sources. The results indicate that many educators still formulate Islamic Religious Education learning objectives that are too vague, making them difficult to measure and evaluate. It can be concluded that the formulation of measurable Islamic Religious Education learning objectives can be optimized by integrating the ABCD principles with Bloom’s Taxonomy. Furthermore, the application of these two concepts is highly recommended in formulating learning objectives to help teachers determine more efficient and concrete teaching methods and evaluation approaches. Thus, optimizing the formulation of learning objectives by integrating the ABCD principles and Bloom’s Taxonomy can improve the quality of learning.

Moh Bahrulloh Sabana — 2026-08-03

Character development is an effort or measure taken by an educator toward their students with the aim of improving and advancing their ethics, so that students may possess good character and honorable habits. This study focuses on the role of Ustadz/Ustadzah in shaping the morality of students at the Al-Hikmah TPQ in Ngepung Village, Lengkong Subdistrict, Nganjuk Regency. This article describes the role of the ustadz and ustadzah at TPQ Al-Hikmah in Ngepung Village, Lengkong Subdistrict, Nganjuk Regency, in fostering the moral character of the students. This research is a qualitative study that employs a descriptive analytical approach. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and document review. The informants who participated in this study consisted of five individuals: a religious leader, one male religious teacher, and three female religious teachers. The results of the study indicate that the students exhibit positive moral behavior, such as greeting others upon entering a room, shaking hands with the ustadz or ustadzah, performing wudu and praying before studying, dressing neatly, speaking politely, and asking permission before leaving the classroom. Efforts to foster moral character undertaken by the ustadz and ustadzah include guiding students in prayer before studying, encouraging them to perform wudu before studying, teaching them to bring their study materials, supervising students during the learning process, offering advice, and studying the ta’lim textbook. Factors that support moral development include Islamic norms, support from parents and the community, and the students’ enthusiasm for participating in TPQ activities. However, there are also factors that hinder character development, such as the students’ desire to play constantly, a lack of communication and tolerance from some parents, limited classroom facilities and teaching staff, and the students’ very young age

Shabrina Anjani Kamala — 2026-08-20

This study aims to enhance students’ empathy through the application of the Role Emotion method in the Akidah Akhlak class for 8th Grade Class C at MTs Jakarta Pusat. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach combining quantitative and qualitative data, based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which consists of two cycles, each comprising the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 31 eighth-grade Class C students selected based on initial observations indicating low levels of empathy, particularly regarding concern for peers and understanding others’ feelings. Data were collected through tests, observations, emotion journals, and documentation. The results showed an increase in students’ empathy in each cycle. In Cycle I, the percentage of students meeting the criteria increased from 32.26% to 38.71%, while in Cycle II it increased from 67.86% to 75.00%, with an average posttest score of 80.00. Qualitative findings from the emotion journals and observations reinforced the quantitative results, showing that students became more caring, actively collaborated, and were able to understand their peers’ feelings. This study concluded that the Role Emotion method is effective in enhancing students’ empathy in Akidah Akhlak instruction at junior high madrasahs and can serve as an alternative for affective learning.

OTORITAS KEAGAMAAN DAN VALIDASI KONTEN ISLAMI: STUDI TENTANG LPBKI MUI DALAM MENDUKUNG DAKWAH DIGITAL

Marhadi Muhayar — 2026-08-20

The rapid growth of Islamic content on digital media raises a fundamental question of who holds the authority to determine the propriety of a religious message before it is disseminated to the public. Without an adequate validation mechanism, digital spaces risk being filled with content that deviates from basic Islamic principles yet still gains wide acceptance due to algorithmic and popularity-driven factors. This study aims to analyze the basis of religious authority underlying the legitimacy of the Institution for the Verification of Islamic Books and Content (LPBKI) of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and to examine the gatekeeping mechanism it performs in supporting the digital da'wah ecosystem. This research employs a qualitative approach through document analysis of LPBKI MUI's official publications and academic literature on religious authority and communication gatekeeping theory. Drawing on Max Weber's typology of authority, this study finds that LPBKI MUI's legitimacy is built through a combination of traditional authority rooted in the scholarly lineage of its verifiers, legal-rational authority grounded in its institutional structure and the legal basis of Law Number 3 of 2017, and a collective charismatic authority attached to the ulama figures within its board of advisors. Within the gatekeeping theory framework, LPBKI MUI applies four content-filtering standards: basic Islamic standards, Islamic-and-national-outlook standards, statutory regulation standards, and technical-linguistic standards. The study further finds that LPBKI's gatekeeping model remains manual and pre-publication in nature, in contrast to the real-time, post-publication character of digital information flows, leaving structural limitations in keeping pace with the continuously growing volume of content. This study recommends developing a validation mechanism that is more adaptive to the speed of the digital ecosystem without diminishing the scholarly-authority framework underlying its legitimacy.

ANALISIS MATERI PENDIDIKAN ADAB DI TADIKA AL-FIKH ORCHARD BUKIT MERTAJAM PULAU PINANG

Rifqi Aziz Dhiaurrahman Tarigan — 2026-08-25

This study aims to describe the concept of adab education, analyze the implementation of adab education in daily learning activities, and examine the role of teachers in internalizing adab values to students at Tadika Al-Fikh Orchard. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, while data analysis used the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña which includes data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was maintained through triangulation, member checking, thematic analysis, and verification with literature. The results of the study show that the concept of adab education is implemented holistically and integrated in the curriculum, including adab towards Allah SWT, fellow humans, and the environment. The implementation of adab education is carried out through exemplary methods (uswatun hasanah), habituation, storytelling (qishshah), and direct practice integrated into all learning activities and daily activities. The teacher's role is very dominant as a role model, facilitator, guide, and evaluator in the process of internalizing adab values. The implementation of adab education has proven effective in shaping the Islamic character of early childhood, demonstrated through increased awareness of worship, social interaction skills, and attitudes of discipline and responsibility.

KONTRIBUSI GURU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DALAM PEMBINAAN AKHLAK PESERTA DIDIK PADA ERA SOCIETY 5.0

Usman Affan — 2026-09-10

The rapid development of technology and globalization in the era of Society 5.0 has significantly influenced students’ behavior and moral character. Digital advancement that is not accompanied by moral reinforcement may lead to moral degradation, including declining social ethics, weak self-control, and increased exposure to negatif digital culture. This condition highlights the strategic role of Islamic Education teachers (PAI) in fostering students’ moral character in accordance with Islamic values. This study employs a library research method by analyzing relevant literature, including books, scholarly journals, and previous research. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that Islamic Education teachers play a central role as educators, mentors, and role models in shaping students’ moral character through various strategies, such as exemplary conduct, habituation of religious practices, humanistic and contextual approaches, ethical integration of technology, dialogical learning, and continuous affective evaluation. Moral development is further strengthened through collaboration among teachers, schools, and parents. These strategies ensure that Islamic education remains relevant and effective in developing students who are morally upright, ethical, and responsible in facing the challenges of the Society 5.0 era.

PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS MASALAH (PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING) TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERKOLABORASI ANTAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN FIQIH UNTUK SISWA KELAS 8 DI MTs BAHRUL ULUM KECAMATAN NATAR LAMPUNG SELATAN

Adjie Massyahputra — 2026-09-12

This study aims to test and determine the extent of the influence of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the collaborative skills of 8th-grade students in the Fiqh course at MTs Bahrul Ulum Natar. The approach used in this study is quantitative, specifically a quasi-experimental study employing a nonequivalent control group design. The population and sample for this study consisted of all 41 eighth-grade students at MTs Bahrul Ulum (using total sampling). Class 8A (25 students) was designated as the experimental group receiving the PBL model, while Class 8B (16 students) served as the control group using conventional methods. Data collection was conducted through structured observation, questionnaires, and written tests (pretest and posttest). Data analysis utilized the Independent Samples t-Test after meeting the prerequisites of normality and homogeneity. The implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model had a positive and significant effect on improving students’ ability to collaborate. By working on Fiqh case studies in groups, students were encouraged to actively discuss, express ideas, divide roles, and learn to respect differing opinions. The results of the statistical analysis demonstrate a significant difference between the class that used the PBL model and the class that used the conventional method. The effectiveness of the PBL model is evident in the increase in the average collaborative skills score of students in the experimental class, which jumped from 63.68 to 82.08. Meanwhile, the control class, taught using conventional methods, saw only a slight increase from 63.50 to 67.50. Based on the N-Gain calculation, the experimental group recorded an increase of 51.99% (moderate category), while the control group recorded an increase of only 11.05%. These figures indicate that the PBL model has a far more optimal impact on improving collaboration skills in Fiqh learning.

FROM COMPASSION TO DIVERSITY: STRENGTHENING TEACHERS’ MULTICULTURAL COMPETENCE FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATIONIN IN A MULTI-RELIGIOUS AREA

Mukaffan — 2026-09-14

Abstract : This article aims to describe the strengthening and application of multicultural competence among Religious Education teachers in Lumajang Regency as a means to curb radicalism and foster tolerance within the school environment. A qualitative research design employing a case study approach was used to explore the phenomenon in depth across the teachers' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Data were gathered through fieldwork—including interviews, observations of instructional interactions, and documentation of activities—involving teachers belonging to the Religious Education Subject Teacher Forum (MGMP) in Pasrujambe District, Lumajang Regency. Qualitative data analysis was conducted interactively, encompassing data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on a synthesis of social learning theory, operant conditioning, and perspective-taking. The findings indicate that multicultural competence is integrated across three spheres: the cognitive dimension, where teachers cultivate critical understanding and universal interfaith values without imposing doctrine, thereby fostering a sense of compassion among the school community; the affective aspect, fostered through the habituation of greetings and teachers modeling inclusive behavior; and the psychomotor sphere, where multicultural values are manifested through concrete actions, such as showing mutual respect for major religious observances (Eid al-Fitr, Nyepi, and Galungan) and respecting differences in social organizations.

STRUCTURAL RELATIONSHIPS AMONG AI LITERACY, CRITICAL THINKING, AND RELIGIOUS COPING IN ISLAMIC HIGHER EDUCATION

Abd. Wahib — 2026-09-18

This study aimed to examine the structural relationships among AI literacy, critical thinking, and religious coping among Tarbiyah students at UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember, and to evaluate the mediating role of critical thinking. A quantitative correlational-structural design using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to a sample of 317 students selected through multistage cluster sampling. Data were collected using structured scales measuring the three latent constructs and analyzed via Confirmatory Factor Analysis and bootstrap mediation testing in Mplus 8.10. The results demonstrated that AI literacy exerts a significant positive direct effect on critical thinking (β = 0.58, p < 0.001) and religious coping (β = 0.18, p = 0.003). Furthermore, critical thinking partially mediates the relationship between AI literacy and religious coping (β = 0.25, p < 0.001), accounting for 58.1% of the total effect. The structural model explained moderate variance in critical thinking (R² = 0.34) and religious coping (R² = 0.41). These findings indicate that AI literacy operates as a cognitive-ethical capacity that, by sharpening critical thinking, enables students to engage adaptively with religious resources. Theoretically, critical thinking does not diminish religiosity but bridges digital competence and spiritual capacity; practically, integrating AI literacy with critical thinking and religious coping is an urgent imperative for Islamic higher education.

MODEL DISCOVERY LEARNING DALAM MENGATASI KEJENUHAN BELAJAR SISWA

Nurul Indana — 2026-09-18

This study was motivated by students’ learning fatigue, characterized by low motivation, lack of attention, and low student engagement in the learning process, particularly in the subject of Fiqh. One of the causes of this condition is a learning process that remains teacher-centered, causing students to tend to be passive, easily bored, and uninterested in the material presented. Therefore, a learning model is needed that can actively engage students in the learning process. One model that can be used is the Discovery Learning model. This study aims to describe: 1) student learning fatigue in the subject of Fiqh at MTs Al-Uwatul Wutsqo in Jombang, and 2) the application of the Discovery Learning model in addressing student learning fatigue at MTs Al-Uwatul Wutsqo in Jombang. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive qualitative research design. The data collection techniques used included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data validity was assessed through credibility checks, which involved extended observation, triangulation, and member checking.Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. The research results show that: 1) student learning fatigue at MTs Al-Uwatul Wutsqo in Jombang is evident in a lack of concentration during lessons, low interest and motivation to learn, students getting bored easily, being less active in the learning process, and a lack of enthusiasm in understanding Fiqh material; 2) The application of the Discovery Learning model to address students’ learning fatigue is carried out through several stages, namely lesson planning, providing stimulation, problem statement (identification and formulation of problems), data collection, data processing, verification, and drawing conclusions. The application of the Discovery Learning model provides students with the opportunity to actively engage in discovering and understanding the learning material, thereby making the learning environment more engaging and increasing students’ motivation to participate in Fiqh lessons.

MANAJEMEN PROGRAM MA’HAD DALAM PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER RELIGIUS SISWA

Nur Mahmudatun Nisa — 2026-09-18

This study is motivated by the strategic role of Ma’had programs in shaping students’ religious character within public Islamic schools. The focus of this research is to analyze the management of Ma’had programs in forming students’ religious character at MTs Negeri 1 Ponorogo, covering planning, implementation, and evaluation aspects. The aim of this study is to describe the managerial processes of Ma’had and identify their contribution to students’ religious character development. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, Ma’had administrators, teachers, dormitory supervisors, and students. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that program planning was conducted collaboratively by integrating pesantren traditions with the formal madrasah curriculum. Program implementation was carried out in a structured manner through daily worship routines, Qur’anic learning, memorization activities, and disciplined dormitory supervision. Evaluation was conducted periodically through routine meetings and progress reports delivered to parents. The study concludes that integrated Ma’had management significantly contributes to the internalization of religious values, discipline, and responsibility among students. This research strengthens the theoretical framework of Islamic educational management and offers a contextual Ma’had model applicable for public madrasah development based on boarding education.

NEGOSIASI IDENTITAS PROFESIONAL GURU BERPERAN GANDA DI PENDIDIKAN TINGGI PESANTREN

Lutfi Firdaus — 2026-09-19

Active teachers who simultaneously pursue higher education within Islamic boarding school (pesantren) institutions experience overlapping responsibilities as educators, university students, family members, and participants in religious communities. Despite the prevalence of this phenomenon, such complex role configurations remain underexplored in the literature on teacher professional identity, which has largely been developed within Western educational contexts and based on single-role professionals. This study investigates how married Muslim teachers negotiate their professional identities while managing these intersecting responsibilities and examines the ways in which gender and pesantren culture shape this negotiation process. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research involved eight participants (four male and four female) enrolled in the Islamic Education Program at IAI Al-Urwatul Wutsqo Jombang, all of whom were actively teaching in pesantren-based educational institutions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation and analyzed using thematic analysis. Four major themes emerged from the findings. First, all participants experienced fragmented daily routines; however, female teachers simultaneously carried additional domestic responsibilities, whereas male teachers tended to compartmentalize their roles sequentially. Second, teaching motivation was categorized into three orientations: religious-structural, personal-emotional, and transformative. Third, the principal challenge was not diminished motivation but fragmented attention resulting from multiple role demands, while resilience was sustained through multilayered support networks. Fourth, nearly all participants perceived themselves as not yet fully professional, reflecting a productive tension between ideal professional standards and lived realities. The study contributes to the literature by extending Beijaard's framework of teacher professional identity through the inclusion of a spiritual ethical dimension and by demonstrating gender-based variations in role conflict patterns that have received limited attention in conventional role conflict scholarship.

REKONSTRUKSI DESAIN PEDAGOGIS NUBDZAH AL-BAYÂN UNTUK AKSELERASI KOMPETENSI MEMBACA KITAB KUNING DI PESANTREN

Zulhan — 2026-09-20

Research on Nubdzah Al-Bayân has expanded from basic learning and implementation studies to acceleration programmes for reading classical Islamic texts, yet the internal pedagogical mechanisms that connect concise qawā‘id materials with independent reading competence remain fragmented across studies. This article reconstructs the pedagogical design of Nubdzah Al-Bayân through an integrative qualitative literature review. More than thirty peer-reviewed studies on Nubdzatul Bayan, kitab kuning pedagogy, Arabic reading competence, pesantren learning, and comparable qawā‘id methods were purposively synthesized, with priority given to publications from 2021–2026. The literature was coded thematically around sequencing, repetition, contextual application, feedback, scaffolding, evaluation, reading competence, and boundary conditions. The synthesis identifies six interconnected mechanisms: functional compression of grammar, graded sequencing, contextual repetition, guided textual application, corrective feedback, and gradual withdrawal of instructional assistance. Acceleration therefore cannot be reduced to shorter learning duration. It is better understood as the optimization of a learning trajectory that moves students from rule recognition to analytical use and transfer to new texts. The article contributes a conceptual model of pedagogical acceleration that integrates recent Nubdzatul Bayan studies with Accelerated Learning and scaffolding while remaining attentive to the distinctive ecology of pesantren learning.

IMPLEMENTASI METODE AL-QOSIMI DALAM MENGHAFAL AL-QUR’AN DI PONDOK PESANTREN NURUL QUR’AN KLATEN

Muhamad Gusan — 2026-09-20

Qur’anic memorization programs often measure success through the amount of new memorization, while long-term retention, recitation accuracy, and consistent murāja’ah receive less analytical attention. This study examines the implementation of the Al-Qosimi method at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Qur’an, Klaten, by focusing on the relationship between procedural fidelity, adaptive implementation, teacher mediation, and memorization quality. A descriptive qualitative field design is employed through passive observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, source triangulation, and interactive data analysis. The proposal-based manuscript currently contains one verified preliminary field observation, indicating that some students experience inconsistent murāja’ah and scheduled recitation, which may weaken previously memorized passages. Rather than treating Al-Qosimi merely as a fixed rule of forty repetitions, this article proposes a fidelity-adaptation-retention framework. The framework argues that repetition becomes pedagogically meaningful when accurate initial recitation, active recall, corrective feedback, workload adjustment, and scheduled murāja’ah operate as an integrated cycle. The study contributes a process-oriented perspective to tahfidz research and offers practical directions for monitoring both memorization accumulation and retention. Final claims of effectiveness, however, require complete interview, observation, and memorization-record data before journal submission.

THE DIGITAL MINDSET OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS IN INTEGRATING MERDEKA CURRICULUM BASED LEARNING TECHNOLOGY INTO THE HISTORY OF ISLAMIC CULTURE (SKI) SUBJECT AT MTS N 1 PURWOREJO

Atii Likaytanjua — 2026-09-20

The digital mindset of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers has become an urgent necessity in the current era of educational transformation, as the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum requires teachers not only to master digital technologies but also to develop adaptive, innovative, and responsive mindsets capable of addressing the continuous changes and advancements in educational technology. Nevertheless, numerous studies have shown that the integration of technology into Islamic Religious Education (IRE) instruction, particularly in Islamic Cultural History (ICH) courses, continues to face significant challenges related to teachers' readiness and their acceptance of technology. This study aims to analyze the transformation of IRE teachers' digital mindset in fostering openness toward the integration of educational technology, explore teachers' lived experiences in integrating digital technology into ICH instruction within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum, and understand how teachers interpret the changes in teaching and learning processes following the adoption of digital technology. This study employed a qualitative approach using a hermeneutic phenomenological design. The research was conducted at MTs N 1 Purworejo, with an Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teacher responsible for teaching Islamic Cultural History (ICH) serving as the primary participant, while students were involved as supporting informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using Van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach through the processes of thematic identification, interpretation of lived experiences, and synthesis of essential meanings. The findings reveal that: (1) teachers' digital mindset develops through teaching experience, pedagogical reflection, and continuous adaptation to technological advancements; (2) this digital mindset fosters teachers' openness toward the integration of educational technology, as reflected in the use of various digital media and platforms during the planning, implementation, and assessment stages of instruction; and (3) teachers perceive technology as a means of creating more interactive learning environments, enhancing student engagement, and supporting the implementation of the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. This study confirms that digital mindset constitutes a fundamental foundation for the successful integration of educational technology in madrasahs. The findings contribute to the growing body of scholarship on digital mindset in Islamic education while also providing practical implications for strengthening teacher professional development programs that focus not only on digital competence but also on cultivating adaptive mindsets capable of responding to ongoing educational transformation.

PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN WEE ( WONDERING, EXPLORING, AND EXPLAINING ) TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PAI DI SMP NEGERI 18 KRUI PESISIR BARAT

Desta Arifin — 2026-09-23

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Wondering, Exploring, and Explaining (WEE) learning model on the learning outcomes of Islamic Religious Education students of class VIII of SMP Negeri 18 Krui. The background of this study is the low activity, motivation, and learning outcomes of students due to the implementation of conventional learning that has not been able to develop critical thinking skills. The study used a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental design of the Post-test Only Control Group Design type. The research sample consisted of class VIII A as the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group selected through probability sampling techniques. Data were collected using a learning outcome test that had met the validity and reliability tests. Data analysis was carried out through normality tests, homogeneity tests, and Independent Samples t-Test. The results of the analysis showed a calculated t value = 8.015 with a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 (p <0.05), so there was a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group obtained an average learning outcome of 12.40 points higher than the control group. These results prove that the WEE learning model has a positive influence on improving Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes and has the potential to be an effective learning alternative in schools.

REORIENTASI PEMBELAJARAN PAI BERBASIS LITERASI VERIFIKASI KEAGAMAAN DALAM MENGHADAPI OTORITAS ALGORITMIK

Ficki Padli Pardede — 2026-09-24

Social media, recommendation algorithms, religious influencers, and artificial intelligence have transformed how adolescents access and evaluate religious knowledge. Teachers, religious scholars, families, and textbooks are no longer the only sources of guidance, as adolescents increasingly encounter rapid, personalized, and widely circulated religious content in digital spaces. This study aims to analyze the shifting religious authority among adolescents, identify the epistemic and pedagogical risks of algorithm-mediated religious information, and formulate a reorientation of Islamic Religious Education. The study employed qualitative library research with descriptive-critical analysis. Data were drawn from 16 selected sources, comprising scholarly journal articles, national reports, survey findings, and an official educational policy document, primarily published between 2020 and 2026. The data were analyzed through reduction, thematic categorization, comparison, critical interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings reveal that digital ecosystems expand access to religious learning while also generating risks of decontextualization, oversimplification, confirmation bias, virality, pseudo-authority, and uncritical reliance on AI-generated responses. Conventional Islamic Religious Education that emphasizes content mastery and uses technology merely as a presentation tool is insufficient to address these challenges. This study proposes a six-stage religious verification literacy framework consisting of claim identification, source tracing, verification, contextual reading, comparison of explanations, and reflective decision-making. The framework positions teachers as source curators, dialogue facilitators, and digital ethics mentors.

TRANSFORMASI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM MELALUI KURIKULUM BERBASIS CINTA

Nabila Salsabila Iswar — 2026-09-27

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) currently faces the challenge of providing instruction that is not only focused on mastering subject matter but also on strengthening students’ spiritual values and moral character. The Love-Based Curriculum (KBC) emerges as an innovation with the potential to chart a new course in educational transformation by emphasizing the values of compassion, empathy, and exemplary behavior as the foundation of learning. This study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis, in which data were obtained from curriculum documents, academic literature, and educational regulations related to KBC. The analysis was conducted by examining the structure, principles, and values contained in KBC and interpreting their implications for the transformation of PAI. This study aims to map the concepts and principles of KBC, analyze the direction of transformation offered in PAI, and identify its contribution to strengthening students’ spiritual values and moral character. The research findings indicate that KBC offers a new direction for Islamic Education (PAI) through its emphasis on strengthening spiritual values, humanistic learning, and student character development, with learning principles that prioritize compassion, empathy, and teachers serving as role models as the foundation for transformation. As such, it can serve as an alternative model for improving the quality of education and nurturing students who are not only intellectually intelligent but also spiritually mature.

MENGUNGKAP NILAI-NILAI MODERASI ISLAM MELALUI SEJARAH ZAMAN KEEMASAN ISLAM: ISLAMIC GOLDEN AGE

Sabri L Saude — 2026-09-29

The Islamic Golden Age, particularly during the Abbasid Dynasty, was marked by the advancement of science and knowledge through translation, the exchange of knowledge, interfaith and intercultural collaboration, and the support of various scholarly institutions. However, studies on Islamic moderation and studies on the development of science and knowledge during that period still tend to proceed separately. This study aims to identify and analyze the manifestations of Islamic values of moderation in the production and transmission of knowledge during the Abbasid period and to explain the relationship between moderation and the development of Islamic civilization. The study employs a qualitative approach using a narrative literature review method to analyze eight scholarly articles discussing the translation movement, interfaith collaboration, scholarly institutions, the transmission of knowledge, and the values of wasatiyyah. The data were analyzed using thematic content analysis, which involved the stages of in-depth reading, coding, cross-source comparison, and narrative synthesis. The research findings indicate that Islamic moderation can be understood as a civilizational practice with three main dimensions: epistemic moderation through a critical and transformative openness toward various traditions of knowledge; socio-religious moderation through collaboration between Muslim and non-Muslim scholars; and institutional moderation through patronage, libraries, hospitals, scholarly assemblies, and educational networks. These three dimensions contributed to shaping a knowledge ecosystem that supported the production, exchange, and development of scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, the practice of moderation during the Abbasid period continued to unfold within a context of social hierarchy, competition, conflict, and dependence on political power. Thus, Islamic moderation can be understood not only as an individual attitude but also as a civilizational practice that allows for the productive management of diverse knowledge and actors to support the advancement of science and the sustainability of intellectual traditions.

The findings indicate that character education has a positive influence on the development of prosocial behavior among elementary school students. Character values such as empathy, responsibility, cooperation, tolerance, and social concern have been proven to enhance students’ prosocial behavior in their daily lives. In addition, social skills, peer support, parenting styles, and family environments also contribute to the development of students’ prosocial behavior. Therefore, character education should be implemented continuously through collaboration among schools, families, and communities to develop a generation with strong character and positive social behavior.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE ON STUDENT SOCIAL INTERACTION AND LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT

Elica Zuliatul Fitria — 2026-10-01

Advances in information and communication technology have driven an increase in social media use among students. Social media not only serves as a means of communication and entertainment but can also be utilized as a source of information and a tool to support learning. However, uncontrolled use of social media has the potential to cause various negative effects, such as a decline in face-to-face social interaction, reduced concentration during study, and a decline in students’ academic achievement. Therefore, it is important to understand how social media use affects students’ social interactions and academic performance. This study aims to analyze the impact of social media use on students’ social interactions and academic performance. This study employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The analysis was conducted on various relevant scientific journal articles obtained through the Google Scholar database. The results of the study indicate that social media use has a significant impact on students’ social interactions and academic achievement. High intensity of social media use can directly reduce the quality of social interactions and lead to a decline in focus and learning outcomes. However, when used wisely as a learning tool and source of information, social media can help enhance knowledge, broaden perspectives, and support students’ academic achievementTherefore, parental supervision, teacher guidance, and students’ awareness of the importance of using social media in a balanced way are essential to maximize the benefits and minimize the negative impacts of social media on students’ social and academic development.

PERAN GURU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEDISIPLINAN SISWA DI SMA WACHID HASYIM 2 TAMAN SIDOARJO

Moch Arifuddin Abdillah — 2026-10-01

Discipline is one of the main characteristics that students are expected to have to support the achievement of educational goals, both at school and at home. The application of discipline is not just about instilling obedience to rules, but also involves the formation of awareness, self-control and ongoing responsibility. This research aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in improving student discipline at SMA Wachid Hasyim 2 Taman Sidoarjo, as well as identifying supporting and inhibiting factors that influence the effectiveness of this role. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation, interviews and documentation methods. Primary data was obtained from the Deputy Principal and PAI teaching staff, while secondary data came from books, journal articles and other relevant sources. Efforts to instill discipline must be carried out consistently and continuously, both at school and in the home environment. Discipline is not only about obeying rules, but also forms character that will influence student behavior in the future. Through the application of good discipline, students are expected to develop greater self-awareness and self-control, which ultimately contributes to their academic success and overall personal development.

Thus, the implementation of active learning models can create a more interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere in Islamic Religious Education classes.

PENGGUNAAN MEDIA CANVA DALAM MENUMBUHKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR SISWA DI SMK PGRI 5 JEMBER

Siti Aisyah — 2026-10-02

The use of Canva in learning has been widely studied as a medium that can improve students’ interest and learning motivation. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the influence or effectiveness of Canva, while studies describing teachers’ and students’ experiences in using Canva from the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages, particularly at the vocational high school level, remain limited. This study aims to describe the use of Canva as a learning medium to foster students’ learning motivation. This study employed a qualitative approach using a phenomenological research design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were then analyzed phenomenologically to identify the experiences, meanings, and understandings of the participants regarding the phenomenon under study. The findings show that Canva was planned by considering learning objectives, material characteristics, students’ needs, available time, and school facilities. In its implementation, Canva helped create more engaging and varied learning materials, encouraging students’ attention, interest, activeness, and involvement. Evaluation was conducted through observing students’ responses, question-and-answer activities, quizzes, and media improvement. The novelty of this study lies in describing teachers’ and students’ experiences phenomenologically and revealing that learning motivation through Canva develops through students’ attention, interest, involvement, and responses. Thus, Canva can serve as a supporting medium for fostering students’ learning motivation when used contextually and integrated with appropriate teaching strategies.

Nanang Ilham Fatih — 2026-10-04

This study aims to analyze the forms, strategies, and implementation of strengthening religious moderation in Islamic educational institutions within the multicultural society of Bali. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design conducted at MAN 1 Jembrana and Pondok Pesantren Raudlatul Huffadz Bali. These institutions were purposively selected because they are located in a multicultural environment where the majority of the population is Hindu while maintaining harmonious interreligious relations. Research participants consisted of the principal, pesantren leader, teachers, educational staff, and students. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that strengthening religious moderation is implemented through the integration of moderation values into learning activities, institutional culture, exemplary leadership of educators, and harmonious social interaction with the surrounding community. The institutions also promote tolerance, mutual respect, dialogue, and appreciation of local culture as integral parts of students' character development. These practices contribute to creating an inclusive educational environment and demonstrate that Islamic educational institutions can serve as strategic agents in fostering social harmony and strengthening religious moderation within a multicultural society.

IMPLEMENTASI MODEL PEMBELAJARAN CTL PADA MATA KULIAH STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN PAI DI FTIK UIN SYEKH WASIL KEDIRI

Ayyin Nayyirotul Ummah — 2026-10-04

This study aims to reflect on the implementation of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Learning Strategies course among second-semester students at UIN Syekh Wasil Kediri, particularly the learning process, student problems, and alternatives for strengthening experience-based learning. This study employed a qualitative approach using field research. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show that the course has implemented Student-Centered Learning and Contextual Teaching and Learning through paper writing, presentations, discussions, and learning simulations. However, students still face several problems, including predominantly textual understanding, limited field experience, inadequate presenter preparation, and low participation among some students. The learning reflection indicates the need to strengthen the relationship between theory and practice through Experiential Learning. Integrating field observations in schools or madrasahs with presentation assignments can provide concrete experiences, encourage reflection, strengthen analytical and problem-solving skills, and develop the pedagogical competence of prospective PAI teachers in a more contextual and applicable manner in actual educational practice.

FILSAFAT ILMU SEBAGAI DASAR PENGEMBANGAN ILMU PENDIDIKAN

Muhammad Fauzan Rivaldi — 2026-10-04

This article examines the philosophy of science as a fundamental basis for developing educational science. The study is motivated by the tendency of education to be reduced to technical, pragmatic, and administrative practices without sufficient philosophical reflection. Using library research and conceptual content analysis, this article reviews the original manuscript, two articles from the Journal of Indonesian Progressive Education, ten articles from Sinta 1 journals, and five major books on philosophy of science, Islamic education, and research methodology. The findings show that educational science requires three interrelated foundations: ontology, which clarifies the object and nature of education; epistemology, which determines valid methods of knowledge construction; and axiology, which directs educational science toward ethical, humanistic, and socially responsible purposes. The article also proposes a three-sphere model, fishbone analysis, and an algorithmic framework to guide educational scholars in integrating scientific rationality, Islamic values, and contextual Indonesian needs. The study concludes that philosophy of science is not an abstract supplement but a critical compass for developing educational science.

PROBLEMATIKA LITERASI KEAGAMAAN SISWA : ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN MEMBACA IQRO DAN BACAAN SALAT DALAM PEMBELAJARAN DI SMK IHSANIYAH TEGAL

Moh Wifaqul Idaini — 2026-10-07

This study aims to analyze the religious literacy problems of students, focusing specifically on Iqro reading ability and prayer recitation among tenth-grade students at SMK Ihsaniyah Tegal. This research is crucial due to the widening gap in students' foundational religious knowledge and continuity of practice following their transition from primary to secondary education. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through initial MPLS assessment mapping, daily progress monitoring of Iqro and Juz Amma reading, direct practical performance tests, and classroom observation, entirely omitting formal teacher interviews. The findings reveal significant disparities in reading fluency—ranging from basic single-letter recognition challenges to complex connected-letter reading—as well as a noticeable gap where students possess better physical mastery of prayer movements than verbal recitation independence. The primary contributing factors include uneven informal religious educational backgrounds, prolonged learning vacuums after primary graduation, limited individual supervision, and psychological barriers like performance anxiety. Ultimately, this highlights the necessity of structured intervention programs, such as flexible ability-based reading clinics, to accelerate student religious literacy.

PENGARUH MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN VIDEO ANIMASI DAN KUIS BERBASIS KAHOOT TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN AKIDAH AKHLAK KELAS VIII DI MTsN 3 MOJOKERTO

Nurfitriyani — 2026-10-05

The development of educational technology encourages the use of more interactive and engaging learning media. Aqidah Akhlak learning at MTsN 3 Mojokerto requires media variation to support student participation and understanding. This study aimed to determine the effect of animated video learning media and Kahoot-based quizzes on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students in Aqidah Akhlak at MTsN 3 Mojokerto. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 64 students: 32 students in class VIII E as the experimental group and 32 students in class VIII I as the control group. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, documentation, and observation. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing, the Mann-Whitney U Test, and N-Gain analysis. The experimental class had a mean pretest score of 78.59, which increased to 90.47 on the posttest. The control class increased from 79.84 to 84.38. The Mann-Whitney U Test produced an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.017 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups. The mean N-Gain was 57.12 in the experimental class, categorized as moderate, and 25.76 in the control class, categorized as low. These findings indicate that animated video and Kahoot-based quizzes had an effect on improving students’ Aqidah Akhlak learning outcomes.

SPIRITUAL ECOLOGY IN CONTEMPORARY PESANTREN AS A FRAMEWORK FOR FORMING SANTRI INTEGRITY

Nury Firdausia — 2026-10-07

This conceptual article addresses a problem in Islamic education: religious compliance in pesantren is often treated as evidence of spiritual transformation, even though repeated ritual practice does not automatically produce integrity. The study is important because contemporary pesantren operate as dense educational environments in which authority, worship, textual learning, peer relations, service, digital pressures, and material resource management shape students’ moral agency. Using an integrative conceptual review, the article synthesises scholarship on pesantren, Islamic educational philosophy, character education, lived religion, practice theory, and Muslim environmental ethics. The synthesis produces a spiritual ecology framework that understands pesantren as a relational moral environment rather than a collection of programs. Its central model links six processes: exemplarity, habituation, religious experience, reflection and discernment, internalisation, and spiritual agency. The framework argues that integrity becomes visible when santri can transfer religiously grounded values across self-regulation, social relations, knowledge practices, and care for creation. The article contributes a sharper bridge between pesantren studies and spiritual ecology by showing how ecological responsibility can function as a site of Islamic moral formation, not merely as an additional environmental activity. Future research should test the model through ethnography, comparative case studies, longitudinal research, and mixed-method assessment of moral agency, relational trust, and ecological responsibility.

EKOTEOLOGI BERBASIS TOGA UNTUK INTERNALISASI KARAKTER CINTA LINGKUNGAN DI PESANTREN SABILURROSYAD 2 MALANG

Marzuki Mustamar — 2026-10-07

Environmental education in pesantren often has a strong normative foundation but still faces a pedagogical problem: ecological values may remain at the level of religious discourse when they are not translated into repeated, observable, and meaningful practices. This study examines the potential of Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) as a contextual medium for ecotheological education and the internalization of environmental-love character at Pesantren Sabilurrosyad 2 Tegal Weru Malang. The study uses a qualitative case-oriented design that combines contextual analysis of the pesantren setting with literature review on Islamic environmental ethics, ecotheology, character education, environmental education, and TOGA. The analysis is organized around six stages of value internalization: introduction, understanding, appreciation, habituation, role modeling, and actualization. The analysis shows that TOGA can connect theological concepts such as tawhid, khalifah fi al-ardh, amanah, mizan, rahmah, and the prohibition of fasad with concrete learning experiences. Planting, watering, maintaining, observing, harvesting, using, and sustaining medicinal plants can function simultaneously as ecological practice, health literacy, character formation, and religious reflection. The main contribution is a contextual model that shifts TOGA from a functional medicinal-garden activity into an ecotheological learning laboratory in which moral knowing is connected to moral feeling and moral action. The model is strengthened by caregiver and teacher role modeling, active santri participation, routine scheduling, cross-subject integration, and behavioral assessment. Future research should test the model empirically through longitudinal observation, interviews, and behavioral indicators to determine how far repeated TOGA practices produce durable ecological dispositions among santri.

MODEL KOMUNIKASI DAKWAH BERBASIS OLAHRAGA SUNNAH UNTUK PEMBINAAN KEAGAMAAN: STUDI KASUS PADA KOMUNITAS PANAHAN BERKUDA INDONESIA

Yuly Iryanah — 2026-10-07

The development of contemporary da'wah requires communication approaches that are more contextual and adaptive to ongoing social change, including through Sunnah sports communities. Perkumpulan Panahan Berkuda Indonesia (KPBI) is a community that integrates Sunnah sports activities with the religious development of its members through various forms of da'wah communication embedded in community activities. This study aims to analyze the da'wah communication model based on Sunnah sports in fostering the religious development of KPBI members. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving administrators, trainers, religious mentors, and members, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing; data validity was examined through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that the da'wah communication model implemented within KPBI is constructed through an integrative approach combining Sunnah sports, character development, and the internalization of Islamic values. The da'wah communication process takes place through interpersonal communication, exemplary conduct by trainers, the habituation of Islamic manners (adab), religious symbols, and social interaction during training and community activities. Horseback archery is utilized not merely as physical exercise but also as a medium for fostering spirituality, discipline, ukhuwah (Islamic brotherhood), and strengthening members' Islamic identity. The implemented model is persuasive, participatory, and experience-based, enabling a more contextual and sustainable form of religious development. This study contributes theoretically to the development of community-based da'wah communication studies and offers practical recommendations for religious development programs within Sunnah sports communities in Indonesia.

PERAN LINGKUNGAN PONDOK PESANTREN DALAM MENINGKATKAN MOTIVASI MENGHAFAL AL-QUR'AN SANTRI DI PONDOK PESANTREN AL-KHOIROT MALANG

Siti Kholifah — 2026-10-08

The main focus of this research is to examine how the Al-Khoirot Islamic Boarding School (PPS) carries out its role in igniting and maintaining the enthusiasm of students during the process of memorizing the Qur'an. The philosophical foundation of this study is based on the urgency of motivation as a determining pillar of the achievement of tahfidz, because the activity of memorizing the holy book does not simply rely on intelligence, but also requires mental fortitude, disciplined routines, and a supportive external climate. Methodologically, this research utilizes a qualitative case study approach. Data collection was processed through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and document review involving the guardians, tahfidz teachers, and the students concerned. The data interpretation process was carried out through procedures of information reduction, data visualization, and final conclusions. The research findings confirm that the Al-Khoirot Islamic Boarding School plays a crucial role in activating student motivation through conditioning a religious atmosphere, implementing systematic tahfidz guidance management, and in-depth supervision by ustadz and guardians. Various activities such as halaqah (religious study groups), muroja’ah (religious study groups), and memorization (memorization) are the main instruments in instilling discipline and resilience in students in maintaining their memorization. Furthermore, moral encouragement from peers, along with the integration of daily religious rituals, has been proven to strengthen students' passion for completing memorization targets. In other words, success in memorizing the Qur'an does not rely solely on personal capacity, but rather is a synthesis of a supportive Islamic boarding school ecosystem and consistent mentoring.

PEMBENTUKAN SANTRI CENDEKIAWAN MELALUI TRANSFORMASI SISTEM MUSYAWIRIN MENUJU MA'HAD ALY DI PONDOK PESANTREN AL FALAH PLOSO KEDIRI

Miftahul Umam — 2026-10-09

The transformation of the Salaf pesantren education system from Musyawirin to Ma’had Aly at the Al Falah Ploso Kediri Pesantren represents a dialectic between the preservation of Salafiyah traditions and the adaptation to educational modernization. This qualitative case study analyzes the effectiveness of the system’s transformation through an organizational change theory approach, with data collected via in-depth interviews with 15 informants, participatory observation of 30 syawir sessions, and analysis of policy documents. The results reveal that the tiered educational system based on classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning) has successfully produced scholarly students through the integration of religious and formal curricula, the structural transformation of Musyawirin into Ma’had Aly, and formal recognition as a Muadalah Educational Unit. This transformation improved graduate quality by 35% while maintaining the Salafi tradition, despite facing resistance from 40% of senior students due to conflicts arising from dual roles.

MODERNISASI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DI INDONESIA DALAM PERSPEKTIF SEJARAH SOSIAL

Zulfa Nabila — 2026-10-12

The modernization of Islamic education in Indonesia is often narrated as a linear shift from traditional institutions to modern schools. Such a narrative obscures the negotiations through which Muslim communities selected, adapted, and reinterpreted modern forms without abandoning their religious authority and social roots. This article analyzes the modernization of Indonesian Islamic education from the early twentieth century to the digital era through a social-historical perspective. It employs qualitative library research by critically reading historical studies, works of educational thought, peer-reviewed articles, and state regulations. The materials are organized chronologically and analyzed thematically around institutional actors, curriculum, state recognition, epistemological integration, and social mobility. The study finds that modernization proceeded through four interrelated trajectories: curricular rationalization, organizational differentiation, state standardization, and the reintegration of religious and modern sciences. Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama, pesantren, madrasas, and Islamic higher education followed different but mutually influential paths. State policies expanded recognition and graduate mobility, yet also introduced bureaucratic and market pressures. The article argues that Indonesian Islamic education is best understood as negotiated institutional translation rather than Westernization. Its future relevance depends on rooted modernization that combines normative continuity, epistemic openness, institutional adaptability, social inclusion, and digital ethics in a plural and changing society.

STRATEGI GURU PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DALAM MEMBENTUK KESADARAN BERIBADAH

Astrid Indi Rahmawati — 2026-10-12

This study explores the strategies employed by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers to foster worship awareness among seventh-grade students at SMP Islam Terpadu Al-Muthmainnah, Jambi City. The study was motivated by the need to strengthen students’ consistency in religious practices during early adolescence, when peer interaction, technology use, and differences in family habituation may influence religious behavior. A descriptive qualitative approach was used. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, the PAI teacher, and grade VII students. Data analysis followed the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was examined through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that the teacher implemented five interconnected strategies: role modeling, habituation, motivation and advice, supervision and evaluation, and cooperation with parents. These strategies were realized through daily Qur’an recitation, collective dhuha and zuhur prayers, religious talks, reminders, personal guidance, monitoring of participation, and communication with parents. Supporting factors included a structured religious program, a conducive Islamic school environment, collective teacher involvement, parental support, and peer encouragement. Hindering factors included low intrinsic motivation among some students, peer influence, excessive gadget use, inconsistent worship habits at home, and diverse family backgrounds. The main teacher-related constraints were limited individual monitoring, incomplete parent-school coordination, and multiple professional responsibilities

ANALISIS FAKTOR PENYEBAB RENDAHNYA MINAT BELAJAR PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM (PAI) DITINJAU DARI MOTIVASI INTRINSIK DAN EKSTRINSIK SISWA KELAS XI DI SMA NEGERI 1 SAROLANGUN

Imeliya Amanda RR — 2026-10-12

This study aims to analyze students' level of interest in learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and the factors causing low learning interest, viewed from the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Sarolangun. The academic concern underlying this study is the preliminary finding that some students showed low engagement during PAI lessons, such as paying little attention to the teacher's explanation, rarely asking questions, and tending to be passive in class discussions. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the school principal, the PAI teacher, and eleventh-grade students. The results show that students' overall interest in learning PAI is fairly good, although it is not evenly distributed among all students. Intrinsic factors contributing to low learning interest include a lack of awareness of the importance of PAI, low motivation and willingness to learn, the perception that the lessons are unengaging, low self-confidence, and underdeveloped study habits. Extrinsic factors include a lack of variation in teaching methods, underutilized instructional media, peer influence, insufficient family support, and a less conducive learning environment. The study concludes that improving students' interest in learning PAI requires synergy between strengthening students' intrinsic motivation and optimizing extrinsic support from teachers, schools, peers, and families

MENAVIGASI ERA BANI: REKONSTRUKSI KURIKULUM PENDIDIKAN AGAMA BERBASIS CINTA DI MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH MENUJU INSAN KAMIL

Nila Farah Mazidah — 2026-10-13

This study examines the challenges that the BANI era (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible) presents for the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum. It also explores how the Love-Based Curriculum (KBC) and deep learning can be integrated, and develops a model for reconstructing the curriculum to support the formation of the insan kamil or perfect human being. The research uses a qualitative case study approach. Data collection methods include semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, document analysis, and expert validation. The data were analyzed using an interactive process that involved data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. The main findings show that successfully implementing a transformative curriculum to develop the insan kamil in madrasahs requires alignment at three levels. First, philosophical alignment is needed to integrate the religious vision of the madrasah (Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah) with KBC values. Second, pedagogical alignment ensures that deep learning methods match the psychological characteristics of Generation Alpha. Third, structural-temporal alignment organizes learning time and space to meet the needs of reflective instructional activities.

MENGEKSPLORASI PENGARUH KOMPETENSI SPIRITUAL DAN EFIKASI DIRI TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN BERDIFERENSIASI DI KALANGAN GURU MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH

Fairuza Zida Rohmatik — 2026-10-13

The gap between the normative commitment to inclusive education and the capacity to implement it in madrasah ibtidaiyah remains a substantive issue, particularly because teachers’ strong spiritual values do not necessarily translate into pedagogical practices that are responsive to student diversity. This study aims to analyze the influence of teachers’ spiritual competencies and their pedagogical self-efficacy for inclusive education on differentiated instruction practices, as well as to examine the mediating role of self-efficacy in this relationship. A quantitative approach using path analysis was employed, involving 258 teachers from inclusive madrasah ibtidaiyah who are members of the Lumajang Regency Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teachers’ Working Group, selected through purposive proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using three validated instruments and analyzed via structural equation modeling with bias-corrected bootstrap mediation testing. The results indicate that spiritual competence has a positive effect on self-efficacy and differentiation practices; self-efficacy has a positive effect on differentiation practices; and self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between spiritual competence and differentiation practices. These findings imply that the professional development of inclusive madrasah teachers needs to simultaneously integrate the strengthening of spiritual values with the development of self-efficacy, as spiritual values without psychological capacity tend to result in inclusion that is merely symbolic.

CULTIVATING ISLAMIC DIGITAL ETHICS: ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS’ STRATEGIES FOR ADDRESSING SOCIAL MEDIA DISTRACTIONS IN MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH.

Risnawati Risnawati — 2026-10-13

This research is motivated by the increasing phenomenon of digital social media distraction which has an impact on decreasing students' learning focus, discipline, and self-control skills. This study aims to analyze the strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in overcoming digital social media distractions in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nahdlatul Ulama, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and analyze the implications of implementing these strategies. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. The research informants consist of the principal, two PAI teachers, one subject teacher, and 15 students selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The validity of the data was tested using source triangulation and triangulation techniques. The results showed that PAI teachers applied seven strategies, namely setting rules for the use of gadgets, supervision during learning, giving reprimands, advice and education, using digital media as a learning medium, implementing a peer reminder system, the Night Without Gadgets program, and monthly evaluations. These strategies increased learning focus, discipline, responsibility, learning participation, and the use of social media more wisely. The success of the strategy was supported by school policies, cooperation between teachers and parents, school discipline, teacher examples, and habituation of Islamic values. The inhibiting factors include suboptimal parental supervision, peer influence, excessive social media use habits, and the development of digital technology.

IMPLEMENTATION OF DISCUSSION METHODS TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE MEANING OF QUR'AN VERSES IN THE SUBJECT OF QUR'AN HADITH IN CLASS IX MTs HIMAYATUL ISLAM

Imraatul Kamilah — 2026-10-13

This study aims to describe the implementation of the discussion method, changes in students' understanding of the meaning of Qur'anic verses, as well as supporting and inhibiting factors for its application in grade IX MTs Himayatul Islam. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was obtained through four observations, structured interviews, and documentation with informants of madrasah heads, Qur'an Hadith teachers, and 15 students who were selected purposively. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model, while the validity of the data was tested through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the study showed that the discussion method was carried out through planning, the formation of heterogeneous groups, the presentation of problems, discussions, presentations, and drawing conclusions. The process encourages students to be more active in asking questions, conveying arguments, interpreting the content of verses, identifying values, and relating them to daily life. Supporting factors include teacher competence, learning planning, a conducive learning environment, and student participation. Obstacles include time constraints, differences in abilities, uneven activity, and discussions that sometimes go off topic. In this qualitative context, improvement is interpreted as an observed change in understanding, not an improvement proven through statistical tests. With directed management, the discussion method supports a more active and contextual learning of the Qur'an Hadith.

IMPLEMENTASI NILAI-NILAI AL-QUR'AN DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER SANTRI PONDOK PESANTREN NURUL WAHID PURWOREJO: PERSPEKTIF TAFSIR TARBAWI

Wahib Syaroni — 2026-10-13

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of Qur’anic values in shaping the character of students at the Nurul Wahid Bayan Islamic Boarding School in Purworejo from the perspective of Tarbawi exegesis. The research method used was descriptive qualitative research with a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with caregivers, teachers, and students, as well as a review of documents. Data analysis included data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the implementation of Qur’anic values at the Nurul Wahid Islamic Boarding School is carried out through three main stages: (1) the internalization of values through the tahfidz program and thematic tafsir studies, (2) habituation in daily activities such as discipline in congregational prayer and mutual cooperation, and (3) exemplary behavior (uswah hasanah) demonstrated by educators. The educational values successfully instilled include courteous communication (qaulan kariman), integrity (honesty), independence, and social empathy. Supporting factors for this implementation include a conducive pesantren environment and the commitment of the caregivers, while inhibiting factors include the diversity of the students’ sociocultural backgrounds prior to entering the pesantren. Overall, this program is effective in shaping students’ characters to be religious, resilient, and imbued with Islamic values.

PEDAGOGICAL ADAPTATION OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS IN RESPONDING TO STUDENTS’ DIGITAL MEDIA-ORIENTED LEARNING RESPONSIVENESS AT SMP NEGERI 31 PURWOREJO

Nur Qurotul Nabila Atikah Nabila Atikah — 2026-10-14

The rapid development of digital technology has influenced students’ learning characteristics, including those involved in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning. Students tend to demonstrate higher levels of attention, participation, and enthusiasm when learning activities incorporate digital media rather than conventional instructional methods. This study aimed to describe students’ digital media-oriented learning responsiveness and to analyze the pedagogical adaptation of Islamic Religious Education teachers in responding to this phenomenon at SMP Negeri 31 Purworejo. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving one Islamic Religious Education teacher and four seventh-grade students. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed that students exhibited higher learning responsiveness in digital media-based learning environments, as reflected in increased attention, engagement, and enthusiasm throughout the learning process. The study also found that the teacher implemented pedagogical adaptations through adjustments in instructional strategies, the utilization of interactive digital media, more participatory classroom management, and technology-based assessment practices. This study concludes that students’ digital media-oriented learning responsiveness serves as an important factor driving teachers’ pedagogical adaptation. These findings contribute to the advancement of Islamic Religious Education scholarship by highlighting the importance of integrating technology, pedagogy, and content in ways that are responsive to students’ learning characteristics in the digital era.

KARTINI MUTAKHIR DALAM BINGKAI FIKIH DAN PENDIDIKAN

Faiqoh Himmah — 2026-10-14

This study examines the challenges faced by Muslim women regarding their strategic roles in society, particularly within the family. However, the limits of Islamic law serve as a constraint on their progress. Throughout history, Muslim women have faced contextual upheavals that have compelled them to take action, giving rise to the concept of women’s emancipation. This is also reflected in the life of R.A. Kartini, an Indonesian female figure who fought for gender equality. Over time, the term “Kartini Mutakhir” has emerged as a bridge that redefines gender roles within a more contextual framework of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and softens rigid religious texts. Using qualitative methods through a library research approach and analysis of religious texts, this paper examines the extent to which contemporary fiqh is capable of accommodating and responding to women’s public roles, leadership, and socio-political rights in the modern era. This study demonstrates that religious texts will always remain relevant, solution-oriented, and non-discriminatory.

STRATEGI MANAJEMEN PROGRAM TAHFIDZ AL-QUR’AN UNTUK PESERTA DIDIK

Hari Khoirur Rozikin — 2026-10-14

This study describes the management strategy of the Qur’an memorization (Tahfidz Al-Qur’an) program and its improvement for students at MTs Salafiyah Syafi’iyah Bandung Jombang. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving the principal, teachers, tahfidz teachers, curriculum and student-affairs personnel, parents, and students. Data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, with source and technique triangulation. The findings show three main management stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. Planning includes coordination meetings, scheduling, teacher selection, memorization targets and methods, and parent involvement. Implementation includes memorization submission, muroja’ah, recitation supervision, and religious routines such as congregational dhuha prayer. Evaluation is conducted through memorization monitoring and meetings to identify achievement, constraints, strengths, weaknesses, and follow-up. Program improvement is pursued through consistent scheduling, intensive mentoring, varied methods, motivation, and stronger parent communication. The program is therefore oriented not only toward memorization achievement but also toward discipline, responsibility, patience, love of the Qur’an, and a religious school culture.

KONSEP KURIKULUM CINTA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA ARAB: KAJIAN TEORETIS DAN FILOSOFIS

Fitria Cinta — 2026-10-14

This study aims to analyze the concept of the “Curriculum of Love” in Arabic language instruction from theoretical and philosophical perspectives based on ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained from scientific literature relevant to the “Curriculum of Love,” humanistic education, character education, the philosophy of education, and Arabic language instruction. The data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis to identify and synthesize concepts related to the integration of the value of love in Arabic language instruction. The research findings indicate that the “Curriculum of Love” can be conceptualized as a humanistic-integrative paradigm that links linguistic competencies with affective, social, moral, and spiritual dimensions. Ontologically, students are viewed as whole human beings possessing intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual potential. Epistemologically, learning is guided through experience, dialogue, interaction, communicative practice, collaboration, and reflection. Axiologically, mastery of the Arabic language is directed toward communication that is polite, empathetic, responsible, and character-building. Its implementation can be integrated into istimā‘, kalām, qirā’ah, kitābah, mufradāt, nahwu, and ṣarf through contextual materials, humanistic-communicative methods, empathetic educational relationships, and holistic assessment. Thus, the Curriculum of Love serves as the pedagogical spirit in building both the language competencies and the character of students.

PERAN GURU DALAM PEMBELAJARAN AKIDAH AKHLAK UNTUK MEMBENTUK PERILAKU DISIPLIN SISWA KELAS VIII DI MTsN 3 MOJOKERTO

Anisa — 2026-10-15

This study aims to examine the role of teachers in Akidah Akhlak learning in shaping the disciplinary behavior of eighth-grade students at MTsN 3 Mojokerto and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. This research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the Akidah Akhlak teacher, the head of the madrasah, and eighth-grade students. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data credibility was examined through source triangulation. The findings show that the role of the Akidah Akhlak teacher has been implemented effectively through planning, learning implementation, and evaluation that integrate disciplinary values. The teacher applies habituation, exemplary behavior, advice, interactive lectures, discussion, and assignments connected with students’ daily discipline. Supporting factors include madrasah support, consistent teacher commitment, integrated religious programs, and parental involvement. Inhibiting factors include differences in family backgrounds, social media influences, and limited face-to-face instructional time. The study indicates that consistent teacher modeling and habituation, supported by madrasah policies and family cooperation, contribute to strengthening students’ disciplinary behavior.

STRATEGI GURU DALAM MEMBENTUK NILAI-NILAI NASIONALISME SISWA MELALUI MATA PELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA DI KELAS III MIN 1 MOJOKERTO

Trisno Dhiga Bego — 2026-10-14

This study aims to describe the strategies teachers use to instill nationalist values in students through the Pancasila Education course in third grade at MIN 1 Mojokerto, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The research data focused on teaching practices and statements from third-grade teachers. The results showed that teachers implemented five complementary strategies: modeling, habit formation, active learning, reinforcement of positive values, and contextual learning. These strategies were manifested through disciplined and courteous behavior modeled by the teachers; the habit of singing the national anthem and respecting national symbols; question-and-answer sessions and simple discussions; the provision of praise and motivation; and linking the material to students’ daily lives. Supporting factors included the teachers’ pedagogical competence and commitment, the local historical context of Mojokerto, and a conducive madrasah environment. Conversely, inhibiting factors include the influence of digital media, limitations in contextual learning resources, and differences in students’ characteristics and readiness to learn. These findings indicate that fostering nationalism requires strategies that are consistent, concrete, and integrated into both the learning process and the madrasah’s culture.

KESETARAAN PENDIDIKAN LAKI-LAKI DAN PEREMPUAN: PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR'AN DAN HADIS

Yahanan — 2026-10-15

Educational equality is a key issue in human resource development that continues to be a focus of attention in various countries, including from an Islamic perspective. There remains a perception that men and women do not always have equal access to education; therefore, a comprehensive study based on Islamic teachings is needed. This study aims to analyze the concept of educational equality for men and women from the perspective of the Qur’an and hadith, as well as its relevance to the implementation of education in the modern era. This study employs a library research method with a qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained from the Qur’an and hadith, while secondary data were sourced from exegetical works, books, and scholarly articles discussing education and gender equality in Islam. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method by interpreting Qur’anic verses and hadith related to the obligation to seek knowledge, the status of men and women, and the right to education. Research findings indicate that Islam regards education as both a right and an obligation for every Muslim, regardless of gender. The Qur’an and the hadith affirm that men and women have equal opportunities to acquire knowledge as a means of enhancing the quality of their faith, moral character, and social contributions. Biological differences do not serve as a basis for restricting access to education but rather form part of a division of roles that remains grounded in the principle of justice. Thus, educational equality in Islam is an embodiment of the values of justice, respect for human dignity, and an effort to create a society that is knowledgeable, virtuous, and civilized.

IMPLEMENTASI KURIKULUM MERDEKA DALAM PENANAMAN NILAI-NILAI KEAGAMAAN DI MINU PURWOSARI METRO UTARA KOTA METRO

Dinia Sholekha — 2026-10-15

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in instilling religious values in fifth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah NU Metro. The study focuses on learning flexibility, project-based learning, strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile, the use of formative and diagnostic assessments, and differentiated learning. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews with teachers, and documentation of learning activities. The findings indicate that learning flexibility allows teachers to adjust methods and materials according to students’ abilities and interests, while project-based learning encourages active student engagement in the practice of worship and moral conduct. Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile and the use of formative and diagnostic assessments support the development of students’ religious, social, and cognitive character. Additionally, differentiated learning ensures that each student receives learning experiences in accordance with their learning pace. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Merdeka Curriculum effectively supports the holistic internalization of religious values, shaping students to be religious, critical, creative, and morally upright, while fostering independence and active participation in the learning process.

PENGGUNAAN KATA (DIKSI) YANG BAIK DAN BENAR DALAM PEMBELAJARAN AKIDAH AKHLAK DI MTs TAUFIQURRAHMAN LONGOS, GAPURA, SUMENEP

Ferry Yanto — 2026-10-15

Background: Language plays a crucial role in the teaching-and-learning process, particularly in the Akidah Akhlak course, which aims to develop students’ knowledge, attitudes, and moral character. The selection of appropriate words or diction is essential for conveying educational messages clearly, accurately, and effectively. Therefore, the use of proper and correct diction must be prioritized in Akidah Akhlak instruction. Objective: This study aims to examine the use of proper and correct diction in Akidah Akhlak instruction at MTs Taufiqurrahman Longos, Gapura, Sumenep. This study focuses on the definition of diction, the principles of its use in educational communication, its relevance to student characteristics, and its application in explaining concepts of Akidah and Akhlak. Method: This study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained through a review of relevant books, scientific literature, and educational concepts related to diction, instructional communication, and Islamic moral education. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to explain the relevance of diction use in the Akidah Akhlak learning process. The research findings conceptually indicate that the selection of appropriate vocabulary can support students’ understanding of religious concepts, encourage constructive classroom interaction, and help teachers convey moral values through language that is clear, polite, contextual, and educational. However, this study has not yet included empirical findings regarding teaching practices at MTs Taufiqurrahman Longos, Gapura, Sumenep. Therefore, field observations and interviews are necessary to directly examine the use of vocabulary in practice and to test the relevance of the theoretical findings.

IMPLEMENTASI INTEGRASI SAINS DALAM PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DI SMA PRIMAGANDA JOMBANG

Ari Setyawan — 2026-10-15

The integration of science into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is a key priority in the development of Islamic education, as it bridges religious knowledge, scientific reasoning, and the character development of students. This integration cannot be achieved merely by including verses from the Qur’an or hadiths in science curriculum materials; rather, it requires a conceptually, pedagogically, and evaluatively sound framework that can be justified. This article aims to formulate a framework for analyzing the implementation of science integration in Islamic Religious Education at Primaganda High School in Jombang, taking into account planning, implementation, evaluation, as well as supporting and inhibiting factors. The study was designed using a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of instructional materials.Data analysis will be conducted through data condensation, data presentation, and the drawing and verification of conclusions. A review of the latest literature on the integration of science and religion will serve as the foundation for developing analytical dimensions that encompass thematic integration, conceptual integration, and reflective integration. The research results present empirical findings regarding teaching practices at Primaganda High School in Jombang. The intended contribution is the development of an analytical perspective to assess the quality of science integration in Islamic Education (PAI) instruction based on the accuracy of sources, the depth of interdisciplinary connections, student engagement, and the alignment of assessment with learning objectives.

PEMETAAN KOMPETENSI MEMBACA AL-QUR’AN DAN PROGRAM PENGUATANNYA BAGI MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM UIN SALATIGA

Muh Hafidz — 2026-10-16

This study aims to analyze the Qur’an reading proficiency of students in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Study Program at UIN Salatiga and to identify the programs implemented to strengthen this competency. The study employed a descriptive approach, with data collected through tests, documentation, and interviews. The primary data were obtained from the results of a diagnostic Qur’an reading test and test-result documents of students in the PAI Study Program, Faculty of Islamic Education and Teacher Training (FTIK), UIN Salatiga, in 2025, complemented by data obtained through interviews. The results show that the Qur’an reading proficiency of students in the PAI Study Program at UIN Salatiga in 2025 was categorized as good. This is indicated by a diagnostic test passing rate of 94%, with 134 out of 142 students passing the test and an average score of 81.97 among the students who passed. Although the overall level of proficiency was categorized as good, efforts to strengthen Qur’an reading competency continue to be implemented through several programs integrated into students’ educational experiences. These programs include strengthening Juz 30 memorization, the Qur’an Reading Matriculation (Matrikulasi Membaca Al-Qur’an/MMQ), murajaah at the beginning of lectures, and Intensive Tartil Qur’an Guidance (Bimbingan Intensif Tartil Al-Qur’an/BITA). These programs serve as institutional strategies to maintain and further strengthen the Qur’an reading proficiency of PAI students. This study highlights the importance of mapping students’ abilities through diagnostic testing, followed by systematic and sustainable development programs.

INTEGRATING SUFI SPIRITUALITY IN SCHOOL COUNSELING: EMOTIONAL REGULATION AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH

Siti Maryam — 2026-10-16

Indonesian Muslim adolescent mental health faces a critical service-access gap, while Islamic spirituality has rarely been systematically operationalized within school counseling frameworks. This study developed and evaluated the efficacy of a school counseling model integrating Islamic spirituality grounded in the ʿāfiyah framework on adolescent mental health outcomes, while examining the mediating role of emotion regulation. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed, combining a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group study involving 160 Islamic high school students (80 experimental, 80 control) with subsequent in-depth interviews (n = 15) and focus group discussions with school counselors and Islamic Religious Education teachers. Quantitative findings demonstrated statistically significant reductions in anxiety (d = 1.41) and depression (d = 0.94), alongside substantial increases in psychological well-being (d = 1.13) and emotion regulation (d = 1.31) in the experimental group relative to controls. Mediation analysis revealed that emotion regulation partially mediated 41.7% of the total effect connecting Islamic spiritual practices to mental health improvements. Qualitative synthesis confirmed that Sufi-inspired practices—specifically dhikr, ṣalāt, muḥāsabah, and murāqabah—function as cognitive reappraisal mechanisms and emotional grounding spaces. The ʿāfiyah-based counseling model provides an empirically validated, mechanistic, and culturally resonant transdiagnostic framework for school counseling in Islamic secondary education.

INTERNALISASI KURIKULUM BERBASIS CINTA DALAM MEMBANGUN SCHOOL BELONGING PESERTA DIDIK MADRASAH TSANAWIYAH

Ahmad Tarikul Majid — 2026-10-18

This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the process of internalizing the Love-Based Curriculum (KBC) in fostering a sense of school belonging among students at MTs Negeri 1 Wonosobo. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with the Madrasah Principal, the Vice Principal for Curriculum, and subject teachers. Supporting data were collected through a review of internal evaluation documents, including service questionnaires, as well as a descriptive analysis of the questionnaires (36 student respondents). The results of the study indicate that the internalization of KBC values (love for Allah, knowledge, fellow human beings, the environment, and the homeland) is systematically operationalized through the alignment of external guidance (dhohir) and internal strengthening (bathiniyah). External guidance is realized through the integration of the value of love into the Lesson Plan (RPP), the morning student welcome policy, the mentor support program, the Child-Friendly School (SRA) initiative, and the implementation of an educational, point-based discipline system. Meanwhile, spiritual guidance is fostered through regular worship practices (Dhuha and Zuhur prayers in congregation) as well as weekly mujahadah sessions led by teachers to pray for the students. This integration has significantly succeeded in fostering students’ sense of belonging to the school (feeling accepted, valued, and safe). Empirical data confirms a high level of attachment, with 100% of students consistently maintaining the cleanliness of the madrasah environment (supporting its status as a national Adiwiyata Mandiri recipient) and 75% of students reporting very good interpersonal relationships with their teachers. Nevertheless, this study identified real challenges: 9% of students still feel unsafe at school, and 55.56% of students exhibit a neutral attitude toward the aspect of self-mattering. As a solution, the madrasah has optimized the Class Care Forum to support introverted students and organizes an annual parenting program to ensure consistency in children’s character development at home. Theoretically, this study formulates the “Love-Based School Belonging” model, which asserts that the integration of spiritual-transcendental reinforcement and affective teacher relationships serves as a key accelerator in creating a safe, humanistic, and inclusive madrasah ecosystem.

MODEL PEMBELAJARAN NUN SUKUN DAN TANWIN BERBASIS MUSYAWARAH DAN KOLABORASI UNTUK PENGUATAN NILAI KEMANUSIAAN PESERTA DIDIK

Ani Tuti Aswati — 2026-10-20

This study is motivated by the dominance of Tahsin learning practices that focus on the technical aspects of Qur’anic recitation without systematically integrating humanistic values through collaborative learning experiences. This condition creates a gap between the demands of humanistic Islamic education and the actual practice of teaching nun sukun and tanwin in class, which tends to be one-way and provides limited space for deliberation among students. This article aims to describe a learning model for nun sukun and tanwin based on deliberation and collaboration to strengthen students’ humanistic values, covering its planning, implementation, and outcomes. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation in a Tahsinul Qur’an course in the Islamic Education Study Program. The findings show that learning activities designed with group discussions, mutual correction of recitation, and deliberative decision-making in small groups increase students’ courage to read, to correct, and to accept corrections with mutual respect. This model not only improves the accuracy of nun sukun and tanwin recitation but also fosters empathy, cooperation, and respect for peers’ dignity as a manifestation of strengthening humanistic values in Tahsin classes.

PERAN PENGUATAN KARAKTER RELIGIUS PESERTA DIDIK PADA PENDIDIKAN DASAR: ANALISIS ISI ATAS PEMIKIRAN MUHAMMAD SADIQ ISMAIL

Adi Kasmiko — 2026-10-19

This article examines Muhammad Sadiq Ismail's thought on strengthening students' religious character in basic education. The study employs a qualitative library-research design using content analysis of Ismail's work, with emphasis on sections discussing balanced personality, educational activities, school councils, learning support, and school-family relations. The analysis was conducted through meaning-unit selection, open coding, category construction, and conceptual interpretation informed by character education scholarship and Indonesian educational policy. The findings show that, for Ismail, religious character is not formed through isolated moral instruction; rather, it is cultivated through syakhshiyyah mutawazinah (balanced personality), habituation of values and good conduct, integration of religious and socio-cultural activities, responsibility-building through student organizations, and close cooperation between school and family. These findings indicate that Ismail's educational thought remains highly relevant to Indonesian basic education because it resonates with the national agenda of character strengthening and the Pancasila Student Profile, especially the dimension of faith, piety, and noble conduct. Conceptually, the article proposes a model of religious character strengthening grounded in school culture, participation, and institutional exemplarity.

INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI AKHLAK DALAM PEMBELAJARAN PAI DI ERA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE UNTUK MEMBENTUK ETIKA PESERTA DIDIK

Aris Eko Cahyono — 2026-10-20

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education presents both opportunities and challenges for shaping students’ ethical behavior. This study aims to analyze the internalization of moral values in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as a foundation for developing students’ ethical behavior in the use of AI. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of Islamic Religious Education and moral education scholarship in responding to technological advancement, while practically providing a foundation for developing AI-oriented ethical learning in PAI. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation and analyzed thematically through coding, categorization, theme identification, and interpretation. The findings indicate that the internalization of moral values occurs through several interconnected stages: value recognition, critical understanding, appreciation, habituation, and actualization. The values of ṣidq (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), responsibility, tabayyun (verification), respect for others’ work, and self-control constitute important foundations for shaping students’ ethical behavior when using AI. The novelty of this study lies in proposing an akhlaq-based AI literacy perspective, integrating technological literacy with the internalization of Islamic moral values in PAI learning. This perspective positions AI not merely as a learning technology but also as a new context for character formation and ethical development among students.

STRATEGI BRANDING LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN BERBASIS PESANTREN DI ERA DIGITALISASI PADA MTS AL QODIRI IV

Leha — 2026-10-20

The development of the digital era encourages pesantren-based educational institutions to implement branding strategies to build a positive image and increase public trust. This study aims to describe the branding strategies implemented by MTs Al Qodiri IV as a pesantren-based educational institution in the digital era. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research informants consisted of the head of the madrasah, the deputy head for public relations, and teachers, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that branding strategies at MTs Al Qodiri IV are implemented through three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. Planning involves establishing the vision, mission, and flagship programs as the madrasah's identity. Branding implementation utilizes various digital media, including the website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and WhatsApp, to publish activities, achievements, and flagship programs. Evaluation is conducted periodically through evaluation meetings, taking into account the effectiveness of digital media and public responses to branding activities. These branding strategies, when implemented in a planned, consistent, and sustainable manner, can strengthen the positive image of MTs Al Qodiri IV as a pesantren-based educational institution and increase public trust in the quality of its educational services

PROSOCIAL MEDIA, PARENTAL BEHAVIORAL CONTROL, AND STUDENTS’ CHARACTER BUILDING IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Rifandi Muhammad Yusuf — 2026-10-21

The development of students’ character increasingly occurs within interconnected digital and family environments. This systematic literature review examines the contribution of exposure to prosocial media and parental behavioral control to character building among school students. The evidence base consisted of 24 publications, including 20 studies from two predefined literature corpora and four additional internationally verified studies. Narrative-comparative synthesis was employed because the studies varied substantially in media measures, parenting constructs, samples, and character-related outcomes. Findings indicate that media effects depend strongly on content. Studies specifically addressing prosocial media consistently associate such exposure with empathy, helping behavior, and other prosocial outcomes, whereas studies measuring general social-media use produce mixed positive, negative, and nonsignificant findings. Parental behavioral control may support discipline, future planning, self-regulation, and reduced risk behavior when implemented through clear monitoring and proportionate behavioral boundaries. Excessive or autonomy-restricting control may produce less adaptive outcomes. The synthesis suggests a complementary mechanism in which prosocial media provides behavioral models while parental behavioral control regulates exposure and supports internal self-regulation. Direct empirical tests of their combined effect on character building, however, remain limited.

Sundus Inayah Nafi'ah Nafi'ah — 2026-10-24

Students’ environmental awareness is a critical issue in the field of education. This is where IMTAK values are essential in fostering students’ environmental awareness. This study aims to examine the role of IMTAK values in shaping students’ green behavior at SMPN 1 Sooko. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through observation and library research. The results show that IMTAK values, internalized through religious practices such as congregational prayer, istighosah, and the recitation of the Asmaul Husna, serve as a foundation that encourages the development of students’ green behavior. This is manifested through the “Friday Environmental Awareness” program and the daily habit of maintaining classroom cleanliness. This study confirms that a spiritual-value-based approach is effective in fostering sustainable environmental awareness among students.
