Model Terapi Kolase Berbasis Nilai Pesantren untuk Meningkatkan Adaptasi Sosial Santri Baru

2025-12-02T11:29:57+08:00

Problems of social adaptation frequently experienced by new santri in the pesantren environment, particularly during the transition period when they encounter a religious culture, strict discipline, and distinctive collective values—can potentially trigger anxiety, social withdrawal, and even maladaptive behavior. This study aimed to develop and analyze a collage therapy model grounded in pesantren values as a strategy to enhance the social adaptation skills of new santri at Pondok Pesantren Zainul Anwar Alasumur Kulon, Kraksaan, Probolinggo. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving new santri, mentor teachers, and the pesantren caregivers. The findings show that the collage therapy model integrated with pesantren values such as ukhuwah (brotherhood), independence, sincerity, and discipline helps santri to recognize their emotions, express personal experiences, and understand as well as internalize the social values that govern life in the pesantren. The participants exhibited positive changes, including increased self-disclosure, improved ability to work collaboratively, greater self-confidence, and more adaptive attitudes toward pesantren rules and daily dynamics. The study concludes that collage therapy based on pesantren values is effective as a creative, reflective, and educative approach to strengthening the social adaptation of new santri. Its implications suggest that this therapeutic model can serve as an alternative intervention within orientation and coaching programs for new santri and can be replicated in other pesantren-based educational institutions as a preventive strategy to minimize social adaptation barriers.

Penerapan Model PBL Berbantuan Lembar Ceria untuk Meningkatkan Minat Belajar pada Murid SD Kelas Rendah

2025-12-03T15:18:45+08:00

Fluctuations in learning outcomes resulting from low interest in conventional Bahasa Indonesia instruction at the primary level remain a problem that has not been specifically examined in depth, even though student engagement and consistency of achievement have been widely discussed in previous studies. This study aimed to increase learning interest and stabilize students’ learning outcomes through the implementation of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model supported by the Lembar Kerja Murid (LKM) “Lembar Ceria” worksheet. A Classroom Action Research approach with a collaborative design was applied to 28 second-grade students at SDIT Insan Mulia. Data were collected through classroom observations, document analysis of students’ work, and written tests, and were analyzed using comparative descriptive techniques. The results show that the use of the Lembar Ceria worksheet within a PBL framework successfully increased learning interest, as reflected in students’ task commitment reaching 100%, and stabilized as well as improved learning outcomes, indicated by an increase in the class mean score from 64.80 (pre-cycle) to 84.71 (Cycle I), with a classical mastery level of 86.53%. These findings contribute to strengthening the theoretical framework of media-assisted active learning and broaden understanding of effective teaching strategies at the elementary level. The study concludes that visually engaging worksheets combined with PBL syntax play a crucial role in creating an enjoyable and meaningful learning atmosphere, and recommends that educators adopt visually stimulating worksheets to enhance student engagement. The implications include a theoretical contribution to the literature on PBL and practical recommendations for elementary school teachers, while also opening avenues for further research on the use of similar media in other subjects to promote more holistic stability in learning outcomes.

The intellectual and religious legacy of Syekh Nawawi al-Bantani in Tanara, Serang Regency, possesses high historical, religious, and social value and has the potential to become a driver of the local economy through the development of religious tourism, empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and the strengthening of community-based economic initiatives. This study aims to analyze the economic potential that can be developed from the heritage sites of Syekh Nawawi al-Bantani in Tanara and to identify sustainable development strategies grounded in local wisdom. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method through field observations, interviews with community leaders, site managers, and MSME actors, as well as a review of relevant literature. The findings show that the legacy of Syekh Nawawi al-Bantani has become a magnet for religious visits that stimulate increased economic activity in the culinary, handicraft, and service sectors, while community-based management patterns generate relatively inclusive economic impacts for local residents. The study concludes that strengthening the governance of religious tourism, enhancing the capacity of MSME actors, and fostering synergy between local government, academics, and the local community are key strategies to sustainably optimize the economic potential of the heritage sites of Syekh Nawawi al-Bantani, while simultaneously reinforcing the socio-religious ecology and community-based economy in Tanara.

Inovasi Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia Berbasis Deep Learning dengan Model Cooperative Learning melalui Kegiatan Membaca Bermakna

2025-12-07T18:34:21+08:00

Although meaningful reading skills have received considerable attention in research on early literacy development, studies that specifically integrate the principles of Deep Learning with Cooperative Learning to enhance meaningful reading among lower-grade students remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an instructional innovation in Bahasa Indonesia that integrates Deep Learning and Cooperative Learning to improve meaningful reading skills among first-grade students. A mixed-methods approach was employed using a modified Research and Development (R&D) design, involving 18 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, field notes, teacher interviews, and pretest–posttest assessments of reading skills, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ meaningful reading ability, reflected in enhanced comprehension of text content, active participation, collaborative attitudes, and reflective engagement during learning activities, although a small number of students still required additional support in recognizing simple words, indicating differing levels of learning readiness. Theoretically, the study reinforces the relevance of Deep Learning principles—mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning—in the development of early literacy, while practically it produces a teaching module that teachers can use to strengthen Bahasa Indonesia instruction in the early grades. It is concluded that the integration of Deep Learning and Cooperative Learning plays an important role in fostering meaningful reading skills and collaborative character from the primary school level, and further research is recommended to test this instructional model in other subjects and grade levels to broaden the generalizability of the findings.

Studi Kasus: Analisis Kesulitan Guru dalam Merancang Modul Ajar Berdasarkan Hasil Visitasi

2025-12-14T12:06:24+08:00

The implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka requires teachers to develop flexible, student-centered teaching modules that are aligned with the principles of differentiated instruction and diagnostic assessment. However, in practice, various challenges persist when teachers attempt to design teaching modules in a comprehensive and contextual manner. This study aimed to evaluate the challenges faced by teachers in designing Kurikulum Merdeka teaching modules based on school visit findings. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, with the subject being a fifth-grade teacher at a public elementary school in Sumedang Regency selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis of the teaching modules, and review of visit notes, and were analyzed using an interactive analysis model comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the teacher experienced difficulties in designing comprehensive diagnostic assessments, formulating learning objectives based on the ABCD principle, and implementing varied instructional methods suited to students’ needs. In addition, the teaching modules developed still resembled the Kurikulum 2013 format and had not fully reflected the characteristics of the Kurikulum Merdeka. Factors such as high workload, limited technological facilities, and insufficient time to optimally prepare instructional materials further exacerbated these obstacles. The study concludes that the success of teaching module design depends not only on teachers’ conceptual understanding of the Kurikulum Merdeka, but also on systemic support, resource availability, and ongoing mentoring. The implications highlight that strengthening technical assistance for teachers and institutional support is essential to improving the quality of instructional planning in the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka in elementary schools.

Analisis Komponen Evaluasi Pembelajaran pada Modul Ajar Guru PAI di SMK Negeri 1 Sei Suka

2025-12-15T15:21:51+08:00

Although the evaluation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning has received attention in previous studies, research that specifically investigates the completeness and quality of evaluation components in Kurikulum Merdeka-based PAI teaching modules at the vocational high school level remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the completeness, appropriateness, and quality of learning evaluation components in PAI teaching modules developed by teachers at SMK Negeri 1 Sei Suka. A qualitative approach was employed using a case study design grounded in document analysis, involving 3–4 PAI teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through document analysis of PAI teaching modules and semi-structured interviews, and were then analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the PAI teaching modules generally include diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments and, for the most part, align with the principles of authentic assessment in Kurikulum Merdeka. However, variations in quality were still identified, particularly in the clarity of rubrics for assessing attitudes, the accuracy of assessment indicators, and the systematization of follow-up learning programs in the form of remedial and enrichment activities. These findings contribute to the development of learning evaluation theory and authentic assessment in Islamic education and broaden the understanding of PAI learning evaluation practices in vocational high schools. The study concludes that the systematic, measurable, and authentic development of learning evaluation components plays an important role in improving the quality of PAI instruction and recommends sustained support for teachers through training and mentoring in assessment development. The implications of this study include theoretical contributions to enriching the literature on PAI learning evaluation and practical implications for schools and teacher professional development, while also opening up opportunities for further research on the influence of evaluation quality on student learning outcomes and character formation.

Analisis Kesesuaian Evaluasi Pembelajaran dalam RPP SKI Materi Walisongo dengan Prinsip Asesmen Kurikulum Merdeka di MIS Azrina Medan

2025-12-15T17:34:24+08:00

This study aimed to analyze the alignment of learning evaluation in the Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam (Islamic Cultural History, SKI) lesson plans (RPP) on the Walisongo topic with the assessment principles of the Kurikulum Merdeka at MIS Azrina Medan. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through interviews, document analysis of SKI lesson plans and teaching modules, and indirect observation, and the data obtained were analyzed qualitatively based on field findings and document review. The results indicate that learning evaluation in the SKI lesson plans has included formative and summative assessments that measure students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes. In general, the assessment system implemented has oriented toward the principles of the Kurikulum Merdeka, which are authentic, continuous, and focused on student development. However, refinement is still required in the instruments for student self-reflection and the assessment rubrics so that learning evaluation becomes more holistic, objective, and aligned with the spirit of the Kurikulum Merdeka. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening the design of learning evaluation in SKI lesson plans to support the realization of comprehensive assessment practices and to promote the improvement of learning quality in madrasah ibtidaiyah.

Meningkatkan Pemahaman Siswa Menggunakan Model Game Based Learning pada Pembelajaran IPAS Materi Kedatangan Bangsa-Bangsa Asing ke Indonesia di Kelas VI SD

2025-12-16T09:07:06+08:00

Learning in the IPAS (Integrated Science and Social Studies) subject on historical topics in elementary schools is often perceived as monotonous by students, resulting in low learning focus, limited classroom participation, and learning outcomes that do not yet meet the Kriteria Ketercapaian Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP, Learning Objectives Achievement Criteria). This situation requires teachers to implement learning models that are more innovative, interactive, and aligned with students’ characteristics and learning needs. This study aimed to improve students’ conceptual understanding and learning outcomes through the application of a Game-Based Learning model in the topic “The Arrival of Foreign Nations in Indonesia.” The research employed a Classroom Action Research method implemented over two instructional cycles with 22 sixth-grade students at SDN Nyalindung 1 as the research subjects. Data collection techniques included cognitive tests to measure learning outcomes and observation sheets to assess students’ activity, participation, and engagement during the learning process. The results showed a positive improvement, indicated by an increase in the average student score from 75.00 in Cycle I to 85.00 in Cycle II. In addition to cognitive gains, the implementation of Game-Based Learning also significantly enhanced students’ activeness, enthusiasm, and motivation to learn. Thus, the Game-Based Learning model is effective in improving students’ understanding and learning outcomes in IPAS history learning, although further optimization of classroom management strategies and variation in game activities is still needed to ensure that classical mastery learning is achieved in a maximal and sustainable manner.

Problematika Kompetensi Pedagogik Guru PAI di Pondok Pesantren Bahrul Ulum Tambakberas Jombang

2025-12-17T10:57:39+08:00

Pedagogical competence is a fundamental competency that every Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher must possess, particularly in the context of pesantren, which demands the integration of mastery of religious subject matter with professional learning management skills. However, the reality at Pondok Pesantren Bahrul Ulum Tambakberas Jombang shows that the pedagogical competence of PAI teachers is not yet optimal, especially in relation to lesson planning, the implementation of active learning, the use of instructional media and technology, and the conduct of authentic assessment. This study aimed to analyze in depth the forms of pedagogical competence problems among PAI teachers and the factors influencing their emergence. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data trustworthiness was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the problems in PAI teachers’ pedagogical competence include: (1) the preparation of learning tools that is not yet systematic; (2) the use of conventional teaching methods with minimal variation; (3) suboptimal utilization of instructional technology; and (4) learning evaluation that tends to be cognitively oriented. The main contributing factors include high teaching loads, limited access to professional training, a pesantren culture that is more oriented toward traditional kitab learning, and limited supporting facilities. These findings underscore the need for strategic interventions through the enhancement of teachers’ professional competence, structured pedagogical training, and the strengthening of quality management of instruction based on both pesantren and national curricula. In conclusion, strengthening the pedagogical competence of PAI teachers at Pondok Pesantren Bahrul Ulum Tambakberas Jombang requires institutional support and sustainable capacity-building programs, including the renewal of pedagogical practices so that they are aligned with contemporary learning needs.

Problematika Implementasi Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2019 tentang Pesantren pada Pondok Pesantren Bahrul Ulum Induk Tambakberas Jombang

2025-12-18T05:48:17+08:00

This study was motivated by the gap between the normative provisions of Law Number 18 of 2019 on Pesantren and the realities of its implementation in pesantren settings, particularly in the area of educational governance. The study aimed to analyze the problems surrounding the implementation of Law Number 18 of 2019 on Pesantren at Pondok Pesantren Bahrul Ulum Induk Tambakberas Jombang. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, with research subjects including the pesantren caregivers, education managers, teaching staff, and administrative operators. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using an interactive analysis model comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the implementation of the Pesantren Law has not yet been optimal in the areas of curriculum development, teacher qualification, quality assurance and accreditation, and EMIS data governance. The main constraints do not lie in the substance of pesantren education, but rather in limited administrative, managerial, and technical capacity, as well as differences in paradigm between state regulations and pesantren traditions. The study concludes that the implementation of the Pesantren Law requires an adaptive and contextual approach capable of integrating the strengths of pesantren tradition with the demands of national education governance in order to support the improvement of the quality of Islamic education in pesantren.

Analisis Problematika Guru dalam Mengintegrasikan Islam pada Pembelajaran Biologi di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Kabupaten Sijunjung dan Kota Sawahlunto

2026-01-02T20:03:20+08:00

Although the integration of Islam and science, particularly in biology instruction, has been widely discussed, studies that specifically examine the challenges teachers face in implementing such integration at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri in Sijunjung Regency and Sawahlunto City remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the problems encountered by biology teachers in integrating Islamic values into science learning at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri in Sijunjung Regency and Sawahlunto City. A descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design was employed, involving six biology teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire supported by interviews and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively through the calculation of percentages, mean scores, and data categorization. The findings indicate that the main problems faced by teachers include limited availability of biology teaching materials integrated with Islamic values, differences in teachers’ educational backgrounds, limited mastery of Islamic subject matter, and the absence of standardized models or guidelines for biology–Islam integrated instruction. These conditions have led to suboptimal implementation of biology–Islam integration in science learning, which still largely depends on each teacher’s individual initiative. The study concludes that the success of integrating biology and Islam is strongly influenced by teachers’ competency readiness, the availability of integrated teaching materials, and policy support from the madrasah. The implications of this research include theoretical contributions to enriching the discourse on the integration of religious sciences and natural sciences, as well as practical implications for madrasahs and policymakers in designing teacher training, developing teaching materials, and formulating systematic and applicable integrative learning models.

Furthermore, the implementation of religious learning technology is shown to be effective in expanding access to religious education and accelerating positive behavioral change among business actors. The study concludes that sustained coaching programs that integrate local religious and cultural values can serve as a strategic model for empowering traditional businesses, thereby strengthening ethical practices and the long-term viability of halal food enterprises.

Analisis Kemampuan Dosen dalam Menyusun RPS Berbasis Outcome-Based Education

2025-12-19T21:24:36+08:00

Although the implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has received considerable attention in higher education research, studies that specifically examine lecturers’ ability to design OBE-based Semester Learning Plans (Rencana Pembelajaran Semester, RPS) for Islamic Religious Education courses remain limited. This study aimed to analyze lecturers’ ability to develop an OBE-based RPS for the course Evaluation of Islamic Religious Education Learning. The study employed a qualitative approach with a document analysis design, involving a single RPS document as the primary data source. Data were collected through a systematic document review using an OBE-based RPS analysis instrument and were analyzed with descriptive–analytical techniques. The findings indicate that the lecturer’s ability to design an OBE-based RPS falls into the “good” category, as reflected in the alignment between learning outcomes, instructional strategies, and assessment techniques. Nevertheless, several components still require refinement, particularly in formulating measurable performance indicators and clarifying the explicit linkage between Course Learning Outcomes (Capaian Pembelajaran Mata Kuliah, CPMK), learning activities, and assessment. These findings contribute to the development of the concept of OBE implementation in higher education and extend understanding of instructional planning practices in the context of Islamic Religious Education. The study concludes that the clarity of learning outcome indicators plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of OBE-based instructional planning and recommends strengthening the capacity of lecturers and study programs in developing outcome-oriented RPS documents. The implications of this research include theoretical contributions to enriching the OBE literature and practical implications for higher education institutions in improving the quality of instructional planning, while also opening avenues for further studies on the alignment between OBE-based planning and classroom implementation.

This study aims to examine conflict resolution and peacebuilding principles from an Islamic perspective by drawing on the hadiths of Prophet Muhammad SAW through a narrative integrative literature review of academic sources and primary hadith texts. Thematic analysis identifies and synthesizes core concepts such as moral reconciliation, social empathy, restorative justice, and mediation rooted in rahmah and sulh. The findings indicate that this prophetic model prioritizes relational restoration over punishment and aligns with modern peacebuilding theories in multicultural global contexts. The study concludes that a prophetic ethics framework enriches peace theory by providing a value-based model of mediation and offers implications for interdisciplinary research that integrates religious, humanistic, and social perspectives to foster sustainable peace.

Profesionalisme Pendampingan Proyek P5 pada Siswa Berkebutuhan Khusus: Studi Kemandirian Guru di SMAN 1 Gedangan Sidoarjo

2025-12-20T15:30:41+08:00

The Proyek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P5) within the Kurikulum Merdeka is integrated to develop students who are competent, of strong character, and behave in accordance with Pancasila values, including students with special needs in inclusive education settings. In practice, regular teachers are required to provide equivalent support to all students, even though some do not have competencies as special assistant teachers (GPK) or a specific background related to P5 projects. Although previous studies have extensively discussed the implementation of P5 and learning support for children with special needs, there remains a limited number of studies examining the role of regular teachers as learning companions in P5 activities for all students, including those with special needs. This study aimed to analyze the professionalism of P5 project assistance for students with special needs, with a focus on the independence of regular teachers in managing inclusive classes at SMAN 1 Gedangan Sidoarjo. The research employed a qualitative method with a field study at SMAN 1 Gedangan Sidoarjo, collecting data through interviews with several informants, field observations, and an in-depth literature review. The findings indicate that the planning process prior to P5 implementation is arranged through collaborative meetings between regular teachers and GPK teachers, enabling regular teachers to independently apply assistance strategies that are aligned with the P5 activity flow in the school. This study affirms that regular teachers play a crucial role in providing inclusive and professional P5 assistance for students with special needs, with implications for strengthening teacher training, optimizing collaboration with special assistant teachers, and developing flexible P5 strategies that are more responsive to student needs in inclusive classrooms.

Analisis Perencanaan Pembelajaran Menggunakan RPM dalam Kurikulum Merdeka di Sekolah Dasar

2025-12-22T19:35:54+08:00

Although lesson planning within the Kurikulum Merdeka has been widely examined, studies that specifically address the quality and implementation of Rencana Pembelajaran Mendalam (RPM) at the elementary school level remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the quality of RPM prepared by a Grade IV mathematics teacher by examining its strengths and weaknesses in both design and classroom implementation. A qualitative approach with a single-case study design was employed, involving one Grade IV teacher selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis of the RPM and teaching modules, and classroom observations using photos and videos, and were then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that the RPM was systematically developed by integrating a Problem-Based Learning model, the use of concrete and digital media, and a TPACK approach to support deep learning. However, gaps remain between planning and practice, particularly in the implementation of differentiated instruction due to heterogeneous student abilities, limited time, and demands to complete the prescribed content. These findings contribute to the development of constructivist theory and principles of deep learning in the context of the Kurikulum Merdeka, and broaden understanding of lesson planning practices in elementary schools. The study concludes that strengthening teachers’ pedagogical competence and institutional support is essential for optimizing RPM implementation, and recommends continuous professional development programs, particularly in differentiated instruction and the management of classroom dynamics, while also opening opportunities for further research on the direct impact of RPM implementation on student learning outcomes in more diverse school contexts.

A Critical Review of Virtual Communities and Social Media in Framing the Case of Persecution against Gus Fuad Plered

2025-12-22T19:47:15+08:00

Religious thought diversity in Indonesia frequently generates tensions, as illustrated by the 2023 persecution of KH Muhamad Fuad Riyadi (Gus Fuad Plered) in Bantul, Yogyakarta, by conservative groups such as Front Jihad Islam (FJI). This study analyzes the digital framing of this incident on YouTube by addressing three questions: (1) how media narratives and comments frame the incident; (2) how Mohammed Arkoun’s deconstruction problematizes conservative responses; and (3) what implications arise for religious pluralism. Employing qualitative framing analysis based on Entman (1993) and deconstruction following Arkoun (1984, 2002), the study thematically codes data from two viral videos (with more than 822,000 views) and 1,000 netizen comments across four dimensions: problem definition, causal diagnosis, moral judgment, and treatment recommendation. Purposive sampling is used to capture peak discourse, and triangulation strengthens the validity of the analysis. The findings show that the conflict is framed as intra-Muslim friction over amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, with Gus Fuad’s critique of habib figures reframed as symbolic blasphemy; the causes are linked to epistemological divides concerning religious authority, intensified by platform algorithms; moral judgments predominantly condemn violence as violating Islamic adab; and proposed solutions emphasize dialogue and digital literacy. Through Arkoun’s lens, the study reveals dogmatic rigidity that obstructs contextual ijtihad and constrains pluralistic engagement. The study concludes that social media functions as a polarizing arena in post-FPI religious conflicts while simultaneously providing a space for counter-framing that supports pluralism, thereby advancing the literature on digital religious communication and underscoring the need for Islamic organizations to promote multidisciplinary da'wah and media education to foster tolerance within Indonesia’s diverse ummah.

Early Theological Disputes: History and Main Thoughts of the Jabariyyah and Qadariyyah

2025-12-23T16:55:02+08:00

This study examines the historical emergence and core doctrines of the Jabariyyah and Qadariyyah sects, two pivotal extremist schools in early Islamic theology that polarized debates on divine predestination (qadha’ and qadar) and human free will (ikhtiar) during the Umayyad era. Employing a qualitative library research design, it synthesizes classical heresiographical texts and modern analyses through descriptive–analytical and hermeneutic approaches to reconstruct their socio-political origins, doctrinal tenets, and theological implications. The findings show that Jabariyyah thought, rooted in pre-Islamic fatalism and crystallized in khālisah (extreme) and mutawassiṭah (moderate) strands associated with Jahm ibn Ṣafwān, conceptualizes humans as majbūr (compelled) agents whose acts are created directly by Allah, thereby negating moral responsibility while affirming taʿṭīl (denial of divine attributes), khalq al-Qur’ān (the created Qur’an), and the rejection of afterlife vision (ru’yah). Conversely, Qadariyyah, pioneered by Maʿbad al-Juhanī and Ghailān al-Dimashqī, advances an absolutist view of human autonomy that rejects divine decree, static faith (īmān), and essential attributes, yet converges paradoxically with Jabariyyah on the created status of the Qur’an. These antithetical positions—Jabariyyah determinism undermining tawḥīd rubūbiyyah and Qadariyyah humanism eroding divine omniscience—arose within an Umayyad political context that instrumentalized doctrine, catalyzing the development of ‘ilm al-kalām and the articulation of an Ahlus Sunnah via media position centered on kasb (act acquisition). The analysis underscores their deviation from Salaf orthodoxy, supported by mutawatir Qur’anic and hadith evidence (e.g., QS. An-Nisa’: 57; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim on ru’yah), and highlights their continuing relevance for contemporary ethical debates on agency and accountability in a globalized context. Limited by its reliance on textual sources, this study contributes to Islamic intellectual historiography by clarifying the theological roots of extremism and advocating doctrinal moderation with implications for interfaith and philosophical dialogue.

Adaptasi Pendidikan Islam Anak Usia Dini di Era Digital pada RA GUPPI Kalak

2025-12-25T06:13:59+08:00

Early childhood Islamic education plays a strategic role in shaping children’s character, moral, and spiritual development from an early age, while technological advancement in the digital era presents both opportunities and challenges for the internalization of Islamic values. This study aimed to analyze the success of early childhood Islamic education in the digital era through the adaptation of values and learning methods at RA GUPPI Kalak. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving the principal, teachers, and parents of students as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed interactively through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that the adaptation of Islamic values encompassing aqidah, ibadah, and akhlak into guided and controlled digital media–based learning supported the success of early childhood Islamic education. The use of digital media increased children’s learning enthusiasm, facilitated their understanding of Islamic values, and contributed to the emergence of religious behaviors, the strengthening of moral understanding, and the ability to use technology in a positive manner. This study concludes that integrating Islamic values with appropriate digital learning methods keeps early childhood Islamic education relevant, adaptive, and effective in the digital era, and underscores the importance of adult guidance in directing technology use so that it aligns with the goals of Islamic education.

Implementasi Pendidikan Karakter dan Moderasi Beragama di SDN Sokowaten Baru sebagai Sekolah Piloting Moderasi Beragama

2025-12-25T06:30:16+08:00

This study was motivated by the limited number of investigations on the implementation of religious moderation in primary schools, despite its significant impact on character formation and interreligious harmony among students. The study aimed to analyze the implementation of character education and religious moderation at SDN Sokowaten Baru as a piloting school for religious moderation. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with the principal serving as the key informant selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s thematic analysis model. The findings show that SDN Sokowaten Baru has successfully implemented religious moderation through various programs, such as multireligious morning SOPs, inclusive Friday worship activities, participatory celebrations of religious holidays, and the integration of moderation values into classroom instruction. With a student body of 387 learners from diverse religious backgrounds (Islam, Protestant Christianity, Catholicism, and Hinduism), the school has achieved substantial success in reducing religion-based bullying, enhancing mutual respect, and strengthening understanding of diversity. The study concludes that key success factors include the principal’s visionary leadership, support from community and religious leaders, the availability of religious education teachers for each faith, and structured programs accompanied by continuous evaluation. The implications of this research include enriching the literature on religious moderation education at the primary school level, providing policy recommendations for the government to supply adequate religious teachers and worship facilities, and offering a contextual model for other schools to replicate. In addition, the study opens avenues for further research on the long-term impact of religious moderation programs on students’ attitudes and behaviour.

Pendidikan Karakter Berbasis Nilai Islami di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 1 Yogyakarta

2025-12-27T08:40:56+08:00

Although character education has been widely studied, research that specifically examines its implementation based on madrasah culture at the state madrasah ibtidaiyah level remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of character education at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 1 Yogyakarta in shaping a generation of Literat Muda who are religious, of noble character, and socially caring. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, with data collected through observation and in-depth interviews with the principal as the main informant, and analyzed interactively through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that character education at MIN 1 Yogyakarta is implemented in an integrated manner through classroom learning, habituation of religious practices, and programs rooted in the madrasah environment and culture. Character strengthening is carried out through teachers’ role modelling, the habituation of the 5S culture (senyum, sapa, salam, sopan, santun), and the integration of religious moderation values into learning activities and daily routines. These findings contribute to strengthening understanding of an integrative model of character education based on madrasah culture that is contextual and sustainable, and provide practical implications for the development of character education programs in other state madrasah ibtidaiyah.

Analisis Kemampuan Dosen Mata Kuliah Rumpun Kependidikan dalam Menyusun RPS Berbasis Outcome Based Education

2025-12-27T21:44:32+08:00

The implementation of an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum has become a global quality standard in higher education to ensure the measurability of graduate competencies, making lecturers’ ability to design OBE-based Rencana Pembelajaran Semester (RPS; Semester Learning Plans) crucial for academic accountability. This study aimed to analyse the ability of lecturers teaching courses in the education cluster to develop OBE-based RPS. Using a qualitative approach and content analysis method, the study examined RPS documents prepared by permanent lecturers at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was an RPS evaluation rubric encompassing aspects of learning outcomes, learning strategies, and authentic assessment systems. The findings showed that, collectively, lecturers’ abilities were in the “good” category, with an average score of 3.9. The results also revealed constructive alignment between Programme Learning Outcomes (CPL), Course Learning Outcomes (CPMK), and active, Student-Centered Learning-based instructional methods. Nevertheless, weaknesses remained at the level of technical operationalisation, particularly the absence of explicitly stated Sub-CPMK labels and the low quality of measurable performance indicators (measurable outcomes). The implications of this study underscore the need to strengthen lecturers’ capacity in designing more precise assessment matrices to support academic accountability in Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan (LPTK) and the sustainable implementation of OBE-based curricula.

Epistemologi Tafsir Ilmi dalam Tafsir al-Muntakhab

2025-12-28T21:01:15+08:00

Although tafsir ilmi (scientific exegesis) and the integration of revelation and science have been addressed in a number of previous studies, research that specifically examines the epistemological structure and methodological consistency of Tafsir Al-Muntakhab, particularly in the interpretation of cosmological verses (āyāt kauniyyah), remains limited. This study aimed to analyse the epistemology of tafsir ilmi in Tafsir Al-Muntakhab by highlighting the patterns of reasoning, the structure of knowledge, and the hermeneutical principles used in relating modern scientific findings to the meanings of the verses. The study employed a qualitative approach with a library research design, in which data were collected through the identification and close reading of the text of Tafsir Al-Muntakhab alongside relevant literature on tafsir methodology and Islamic epistemology, and were then analysed using content analysis and critical reading to identify patterns of argumentation, the use of scientific sources, and the limits of interpretation. The findings show that Tafsir Al-Muntakhab develops a relatively moderate model of revelation–science integration by positioning scientific knowledge as a pedagogical instrument to elucidate the meanings of verses and broaden readers’ horizons of understanding. However, the epistemological analysis also reveals methodological inconsistencies in several sections, particularly when interpretation relies on scientific theories that are tentative or not yet well established, thereby increasing the risk of eisegesis and confirmation bias. These findings contribute to strengthening the discourse on contemporary tafsir methodology by underscoring the need for a more rigorous epistemological framework, including criteria for selecting scientific findings, principles of verification, and clear boundaries between the core meaning of verses and the illustrative-explanatory function of science. The study concludes by emphasising the importance of clearly defined methodological limits so that the integration of revelation and science in tafsir ilmi can be justified scientifically, while also opening avenues for further research on formulating evaluative standards for tafsir ilmi in modern exegetical works.

Implementasi Pendidikan Karakter dan Moderasi Beragama di MTs Qurrota A’yun Yogyakarta

2025-12-30T06:59:11+08:00

The rapid development of globalization and the flow of digitalization have had a significant impact on the behavior of the young generation, including in madrasah tsanawiyah settings, as reflected in declining morality, weakening social concern, and strengthening individualism. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of character education and religious moderation at MTs Qurrota A’yun Yogyakarta as a strategy for fostering students’ moral and spiritual development in the digital era. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques, and interactive analysis based on Creswell’s model. The findings show that character education and religious moderation programs are integrated into the curriculum, intra-curricular and extracurricular activities such as mabit, Pramuka, and tauhid studies, as well as madrasah culture grounded in role modeling and the habituation of religious, disciplined, responsible, and tolerant values. Program evaluation is carried out reflectively and continuously through collaboration among teachers, students, and parents. The study indicates that the implementation of these programs not only enhances students’ spirituality and social character, but also strengthens a culture of religious moderation and offers a model of Islamic education that is adaptive, humanistic, and contextually responsive to the challenges of globalization and digitalization.

Abu Zayd's Interpretation of the Story of the Prophet Moses: Reading the Prophet's Humanity in a Contextual Hermeneutic Frame

2025-12-30T15:54:28+08:00

This study investigates Nasr Ḥāmid Abu Zayd’s interpretation of the Qur’anic story of Prophet Moses through the framework of contextual hermeneutics, against the background of traditional Qur’anic exegesis that predominantly emphasizes the miraculous and transcendental aspects of prophethood and tends to portray prophets as infallible and distant figures. The study aims to analyze how Abu Zayd challenges this paradigm by reinterpreting revelation as a historical discourse shaped by human language, socio-political context, and lived struggle. Employing a qualitative textual analysis, the research examines Abu Zayd’s primary works—Mafhūm al-Naṣṣ (The Concept of Text) and Naqd al-Khiṭāb al-Dīnī (Critique of Religious Discourse)—alongside contemporary academic discussions on humanistic and contextual hermeneutics. The findings show that Abu Zayd depicts Moses not as a mythical hero but as a profoundly human figure who fears, doubts, errs, and grows (Qur’ān 28:15–16), thereby foregrounding prophetic experience as ethically charged human struggle rather than static perfection. Through this lens, the Qur’ān emerges as a living dialogue between the divine and the human that continually generates meaning through historical interaction. The study concludes that Abu Zayd’s hermeneutics redefines prophethood in terms of ethical humanity instead of unattainable divine impeccability and offers a liberating, contextually relevant interpretive model for modern Islamic thought, particularly for rethinking asbāb al-nuzūl, contextual tafsīr, and contemporary engagements with prophetic narratives.

Islam, Iman, dan Ihsan sebagai Pilar Kesempurnaan Agama: Pendekatan Maqāṣid al-Qur’an

2026-01-01T10:15:38+08:00

Although the concepts of Islam, iman, and ihsan have been addressed in several previous studies, research that specifically examines these three as pillars of religious perfection within the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Qur’an remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between Islam, iman, and ihsan in shaping the perfect human (al-insān al-kāmil) spiritually, morally, and socially using a Maqāṣid al-Qur’an approach. The study employed a qualitative method with a library research design by analyzing Qur’anic verses, the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, particularly the Hadith Jibril and the views of both classical and contemporary exegetes and maqāṣid scholars. Data were collected through textual study and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that Islam functions as a framework for outward action, iman as the foundation of inward conviction, and ihsan as the peak of spiritual quality that animates both practice and faith. From the perspective of Maqāṣid al-Qur’an, these three are oriented toward the preservation of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn), purification of the soul (tazkiyat al-nafs), and the realization of holistic human well-being. These results contribute to the development of Maqāṣid al-Qur’an theory and broaden understanding of the integration of the three religious pillars in contemporary life. The study concludes that the integration of Islam, iman, and ihsan constitutes a comprehensive model of religiosity that is relevant for addressing modern life challenges, with theoretical implications for enriching the literature on Maqāṣid al-Qur’an and practical implications for developing more holistic religious education, while also opening opportunities for further exploration of the application of Maqāṣid al-Qur’an principles in current socio-religious contexts.

Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Al-Qur’an dalam Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia Unggul Menuju Indonesia Emas 2045

2026-01-01T10:31:38+08:00

Although the development of high-quality human resources has become a central focus of various national policies toward Indonesia Emas 2045, studies that specifically integrate Al-Qur’an values as a philosophical and ethical foundation within the framework of national human resource development remain relatively limited. This study aimed to interpret and analyze the fundamental values of Al-Qur’an that are relevant to the development of high-quality human resources who are competitive, virtuous, and possess strong integrity in the context of the Indonesia Emas 2045 vision. The study employed a qualitative approach with a library research design and normative-philosophical thematic analysis by examining relevant Qur’anic verses and national policy documents, particularly the Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang Nasional (RPJPN) 2025–2045. Data were collected using documentation techniques and analyzed through normative-philosophical thematic analysis. The findings show that the prescriptive values of Al-Qur’an encompass three main dimensions in developing high-quality human resources: the intellectual dimension, which emphasizes the pursuit of knowledge and innovation (Q.S. Az-Zumar [39]: 9); the character and ethical dimension, which focuses on the formation of noble character and integrity (Q.S. Al-Qalam [68]: 4); and the socio-economic dimension, which underscores the principles of collaboration and social justice (Q.S. Ali Imran [3]: 103). These findings contribute to the development of a concept of high-quality human resources grounded in prophetic Islamic values and broaden understanding of the integration between religion and national development policy. The study concludes that integrating Al-Qur’an values into educational curricula that combine religious knowledge with science and technology (STEM), alongside strengthening the role of Islamic educational institutions as strategic actors, is essential for producing intelligent, adaptive, and highly principled human resources. The implications of this study include theoretical contributions to the literature on human resource development based on Islamic values and practical implications for government and educational institutions in formulating human resource development policies and strategies toward Indonesia Emas 2045, while also opening opportunities for further research on the empirical implementation of Al-Qur’an value integration in Indonesia’s education and human resource development systems.

Pelaporan sebagai Prinsip Akuntabilitas dalam Islam: Analisis al-Qur’an, Hadis, dan Pemikiran Ulama

2026-01-01T10:47:29+08:00

Although reporting practices have long been an important part of human life, both in vertical relations with Allah and in horizontal relations with fellow human beings, systematic studies that examine reporting as a manifestation of moral, ethical, and social accountability from an Islamic perspective remain relatively limited. This article aims to analyze the concept of reporting in Islam based on verses of the Al-Qur’an, the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, and the interpretations of classical and contemporary scholars. The method used is library research with a qualitative analytical approach through an examination of Al-Qur’an texts, hadiths, tafsir works, and modern academic literature on accountability. The findings show that reporting in Islam encompasses three main dimensions: (1) human accountability to Allah, which is absolute and unavoidable; (2) reporting to fellow human beings, which emphasizes honesty, justice, and transparency; and (3) regulatory principles of reporting, which include the prohibition of falsehood, the obligation of tabayyun, and the preservation of trust (amānah). This concept is relevant to contemporary reporting practices in the governance of public institutions, organizations, and educational establishments because it provides a normative framework that guides the formation of fair and transparent reporting mechanisms. Thus, Islam offers a comprehensive foundation for building a culture of accountability that is just and integrity-based across various domains of modern life.

Analysis of the Validity and Legal Implications of Siri Marriage on the Rights of Wives and Children

2026-01-02T15:43:34+08:00

This study examines the legal dualism of nikah siri (unregistered Islamic marriages) in Indonesia, in which unions are considered valid under sharia by fulfilling pillars such as ijab qabul, wali, witnesses, and mahr, but lack state recognition due to non-registration as mandated by Law No. 1/1974 on Marriage and the Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI). Drawing from Qur’anic principles (e.g., Al-Baqarah 2:30; Ar-Rum 30:21) and the context of national pluralism, the study highlights the vulnerability of wives and children who are frequently denied inheritance, maintenance, birth certificates, and broader social protection, as reflected in 28,000 detected cases during 2020–2023 that resulted in approximately 1.5 million unregistered children. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study design, the research uses primary data obtained through in-depth semi-structured interviews with ustaz officiants and triangulates these findings with secondary sources, including fiqh texts, legislation, and prior empirical studies. The findings reveal recurrent sharia defects, such as the absence of a guardian of nasab and unqualified witnesses that render some unions religiously invalid and inclined toward adultery, while deficiencies in state regulation and implementation further entrench gender discrimination and child poverty. Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VIII/2010 provides a legal avenue to establish civil ties through evidentiary proceedings, yet marriage isbat (court validation) functions primarily as a remedial mechanism for unions formed before 2015. The analysis underscores persistent tensions between religious legitimacy and civil certainty and concludes that harmonizing maqasid sharia with national law through streamlined digital registration at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), retrospective isbat campaigns, and strengthened fiqh education is essential to safeguarding family stability and promoting sakinah mawaddah warahmah.

Strategic Management of Angklung Pedagogy in Islamic Education: Optimizing Student Holistic Potential

2026-01-02T15:54:34+08:00

Although the recognition of cultural arts within holistic education is increasing, the integration of traditional music pedagogy, such as Angklung music, into the framework of Islamic education management has not yet been systematically explored. This study aimed to analyze the development, implementation, and evaluation of a strategic management model for Angklung music learning in Islamic educational institutions by highlighting its effectiveness in optimizing students’ potential. Using a qualitative research design, the study examined pedagogical approaches, leadership roles, and institutional support mechanisms required for the successful integration of Angklung music learning into Islamic education management. The findings indicate that a well-structured Angklung program supported by Islamic management principles significantly enhances students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills, while simultaneously fostering cultural identity and spiritual growth aligned with Islamic values. The study concludes that such an integrated approach is essential for enriching educational practice and nurturing well-rounded individuals, as well as contributing to the development of theoretical frameworks for leadership and Islamic education management. The implications of this research include practical recommendations for curriculum developers and administrators of Islamic educational institutions to integrate cultural arts more effectively, and it opens avenues for further exploration of other forms of traditional arts within the context of Islamic education.

Pengaruh Motivasi Berprestasi terhadap Social Loafing pada Mahasiswa Psikologi Universitas X

2026-01-04T06:43:13+08:00

Social loafing is the tendency of individuals to reduce their effort when working in groups, which can hinder the effectiveness of learning in higher education and is a particular concern in the context of academic group work among university students. This study aimed to examine the effect of achievement motivation on social loafing among students of the Psychology Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed. Data were collected using Likert-scale instruments to measure achievement motivation and social loafing in 88 active psychology students selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using linear regression. The results showed a significant effect of achievement motivation on social loafing (r = 0.79; p = 0.008 < 0.05), indicating that the higher students’ achievement motivation, the lower their tendency to engage in social loafing in academic group work. The study concludes that achievement motivation plays an important role in minimizing social loafing among students and therefore needs to be taken into account in the design of group-work-based learning interventions in higher education.

2026-01-05T19:24:23+08:00

This study examines the implementation of character education at MA Madania Bantul Yogyakarta, a social-based madrasah that provides free education for students from economically disadvantaged families. The aim of this research is to analyze the background, planning, implementation, organization, evaluation, and outcomes of character education implementation within Islamic Religious Education learning. This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach using interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that character education at MA Madania is integrated into all aspects of the madrasah through collaboration among teachers, dormitory staff, and student organizations, so that the program successfully shapes students to be religious, independent, disciplined, and highly socially engaged. The study concludes that the character education model at MA Madania represents a good practice that contextually and sustainably integrates Islamic, social, and entrepreneurial values into Islamic Religious Education learning.

Kebijakan Pemerintah tentang Penjaminan Mutu Pendidikan Islam

2026-01-09T14:35:06+08:00

Government policy on Islamic education quality assurance is a strategic instrument for ensuring the quality of Islamic educational institutions amid the challenges of globalization, social dynamics, and demands for public accountability. However, various studies indicate that the implementation of quality assurance policies in Islamic educational institutions still faces obstacles related to policy comprehension, human resource readiness, and the internalization of a quality culture. This study aimed to analyze government policy on Islamic education quality assurance and its contribution to improving the quality of Islamic educational institutions. It employed a library research method by reviewing books, policy documents, and relevant scholarly journal articles published in the last five years, while the data were analyzed using content analysis to identify key themes related to policies and practices of Islamic education quality assurance. The findings show that government policy has provided a clear normative framework through the Standar Nasional Pendidikan (National Education Standards) as well as internal and external quality assurance systems, which play an important role in encouraging Islamic educational institutions to undertake continuous planning, evaluation, and quality improvement. Nevertheless, policy implementation still exhibits variation across institutions, influenced by institutional and resource-related factors. This study concludes that Islamic education quality assurance policy makes a significant contribution to strengthening quality governance but still requires reinforcement at the implementation level; its implications underscore the urgency of developing human resource capacity and adopting more contextual policy approaches so that Islamic education quality assurance can be implemented effectively and sustainably.

Application of Social Research Learning Model in Overcoming Intolerance and Hate Speech on Social Media Among Students

2026-01-13T17:03:13+08:00

Advances in social media have revolutionized communication but simultaneously fueled intolerance and hate speech among students, eroding empathy, tolerance, and digital ethics in diverse societies such as Indonesia. This library-based descriptive qualitative study examines the Social Inquiry Learning model developed by Massialas and Cox within Islamic Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam/PAI) as a pedagogical response to these challenges. Primary data from credible books, journals, and empirical studies were systematically reviewed and analyzed through data reduction, thematic presentation, and conceptual synthesis, with validity ensured via triangulation of sources. The findings reveal that the model’s structured stages—problem identification, hypothesis formulation, data collection, moral analysis, and action—cultivate critical thinking, moral intelligence, and tolerance by integrating scientific inquiry with Islamic values such as rahmatan lil alamin and tasamuh. When applied through case studies and project-based learning in “reflection classrooms,” the model enhances students’ analytical skills, religious moderation, and ethical digital citizenship and performs more effectively than conventional instructional methods. At the same time, its implementation faces constraints related to limited instructional time and gaps in teacher competence, which can be addressed through targeted professional development and digital literacy initiatives. Overall, the Social Inquiry Learning model offers a transformative PAI pedagogy that bridges theory and practice to foster resilient, tolerant generations amid ongoing digital disruptions, with broader implications for multicultural education and educational policy development.

Secularization and Islamic Education Maintaining Religious Identity at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Miftahul Ulum Trimoharjo Bantul

2026-01-13T17:08:08+08:00

Amid globalization-induced secularization, Indonesian madrasahs such as MI Miftahul Ulum Trimoharjo face growing challenges in preserving students’ religious identity while integrating a national STEM-focused curriculum. Grounded in Berger’s secularization theory, Tajfel and Turner’s social identity theory, and al-Attas’s ta’dīb framework, this qualitative single-case study examines the impact of secularization on religious identity and the counterstrategies deployed at the institutional level. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis involving the headmaster, Islamic education (PAI) teachers, and students, and were thematically analyzed following Braun and Clarke (2006), with trustworthiness ensured via triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that secularization contributes to the erosion of tawḥīd-based values; however, the madrasah actively resists this trend through curriculum integration (e.g., infusing Islamic ethics into mathematics and science), daily worship habituation, Qur’anic literacy programs, teacher exemplarity, and structured partnerships with parents and the wider community. These strategies collectively foster improved religious awareness, discipline, and tajwīd performance, despite persistent gaps in teacher competency and variable levels of participation. Theoretically, the study enriches resilience models for Islamic education by illustrating how doctrinal, pedagogical, and communal resources can be mobilized to sustain religious identity under modernizing pressures. Practically, it offers contextually grounded and replicable strategies for similar institutions seeking to balance curricular modernization with robust Islamic formation. Acknowledging the limitations of its single-case design, the study points to the need for future multi-site and comparative research to deepen understanding of institutional responses to secularization in diverse Islamic educational settings.

Implementasi Pendekatan Humanistik terhadap Pemahaman Mahasiswa pada Materi Nilai Islam Rahmatan Lil‘Alamin di Institut Agama Islam Al-Amanah Jeneponto

2026-01-16T09:55:46+08:00

Although the humanistic approach to learning has attracted considerable attention in educational research, studies that specifically examine its implementation in shaping students’ understanding of Islam as Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin within Islamic religious higher education institutions remain limited. This study aimed to explore the implementation of the humanistic approach in relation to students’ understanding of the formation of Islam Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin character at Institut Agama Islam Al-Amanah Jeneponto. A qualitative case study design was employed, involving 15 participants who were students of Institut Agama Islam Al-Amanah Jeneponto selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation of learning processes, and documentation studies, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the implementation of the humanistic approach enhanced students’ understanding of Islamic values that are humanistic, moderate, tolerant, and humanity-oriented, as reflected in their attitudes, patterns of social interaction, and academic behavior. These findings contribute to the development of humanistic learning theory in the context of Islamic education and broaden understanding of the formation of Islam Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin character in higher education. The study concludes by underscoring the importance of the humanistic approach as an effective Islamic Religious Education learning strategy for shaping an inclusive Islamic character, and recommends that lecturers and educational managers systematically integrate this approach into curricula and instructional practices. The implications of this research include theoretical contributions to enriching the literature on humanistic learning grounded in Islamic education and practical implications for Islamic higher education institutions in strengthening students’ character, while also opening avenues for further research on quantitatively measuring the impact of the humanistic approach on students’ attitudes and character.

Ibadah sebagai Sistem Pembinaan Manusia: Integrasi Aqidah, Akhlak, Relasi Sosial, dan Kesehatan Mental

2026-01-16T10:33:26+08:00

In Islam, ibadah (worship) is understood not only as a spiritual obligation but also as a means of holistic human development oriented toward the formation of noble character. This study employs a literature review design by examining reputable scholarly publications from the last ten years drawn from various academic databases. The review focuses on empirical and theoretical studies on core Islamic acts of worship, such as shalat (prayer), fasting, zakat (almsgiving), and other forms of social worship, as well as their impact on strengthening faith, character formation, social relations, and mental health. The purpose of this study is to systematically analyze the role of ibadah as a holistic system of human development that integrates the dimensions of aqidah (creed), akhlak (morality), social relations, and mental health. The findings indicate that worship practices performed consistently and accompanied by spiritual awareness make a significant contribution to the formation of noble character traits, such as honesty, patience, empathy, and self-control. Worship also serves to strengthen individual spirituality and belief, enhance solidarity and emotional support within the community, and promote mental health through reflection, self-awareness, and meaning-making embedded in worship, thereby reinforcing psychological resilience and emotional stability. The study concludes that ibadah in Islam functions as a holistic and integrative system of human development in which the strengthening of aqidah, the formation of akhlak, the cultivation of social relations, and the maintenance of mental health are closely interrelated. The implications of this research suggest that a comprehensive understanding of worship can serve as a foundation for developing moral education, character-building programs, the strengthening of social relations, and mental health interventions based on Islamic spiritual values, while also opening avenues for further research on the integrative mechanisms of worship in character formation through empirical and contextual approaches.

Pengembangan Gambar Berseri Berbasis Puzzle sebagai Media Pembelajaran Menulis Teks Narasi Sederhana Kelas 3 Sekolah Dasar

2026-01-16T21:33:21+08:00

The ability to write simple narrative texts with coherent plot sequences among third-grade elementary school students remains low, thereby necessitating learning media that can help them construct narrative texts systematically. This study aimed to produce a Puzzle-Based Picture Series as a learning medium for writing simple narrative texts for third-grade elementary school students that is suitable for use. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method by adapting the ADDIE model and focusing on the Analysis, Design, and Development stages. The research subjects consisted of four validators (two questionnaire instrument validators and two product validators comprising a material expert and a media expert), one classroom teacher, and 29 students. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively to assess the feasibility of the developed product. The results showed that the developed medium obtained an average feasibility score of 4.00 for the material aspect and 3.96 for the media aspect, both falling into the “Highly Feasible” category. These results were reinforced by the teacher response test with a score of 97.5% and student responses with a score of 90.16%, both categorized as “Very Good.” The study concludes that the Puzzle-Based Picture Series is suitable for use as a learning medium and has the potential to support the teaching of simple narrative text writing among third-grade elementary school students. Its implications indicate that this medium can be utilized by teachers as an alternative creative learning resource to enhance student engagement and narrative writing skills.

Upaya Meningkatkan Kemampuan Membaca Permulaan melalui Metode Glenn Doman pada Usia 5-6 Tahun

2026-01-18T15:25:49+08:00

Although early reading skills in young children have been widely examined in previous research, studies that specifically investigate the application of the Glenn Doman method as a structured early reading instruction strategy for 5–6-year-old children in early childhood education institutions remain limited. This study aimed to improve the early reading skills of 5–6-year-old children through the implementation of the Glenn Doman method at KB Mamba’ul Ma’arif Belik. A qualitative approach was employed using a Classroom Action Research (PTK) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted over two cycles, with 15 group B children selected through total sampling. Data were collected through structured observation, documentation, and an early reading assessment rubric covering indicators of letter recognition, letter naming, reading syllables, and reading simple words, and were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis and percentages. The findings show a significant improvement in children’s early reading skills, as evidenced by an increase in the average score from 1.28 at baseline to 3.55 in the second cycle, as well as a rise in the proportion of children achieving the “Developing as Expected” category from 33.33% to 93.33%. The study concludes that the Glenn Doman method is effective in improving early reading skills in young children and is worthy of recommendation as an engaging early literacy instructional alternative that is well aligned with children’s developmental characteristics in early childhood education institutions.

Analisis Nilai-Nilai Karakter dalam Al-Qur’an dan Hadis serta Relevansinya terhadap Pendidikan Karakter di Era Modern

2026-01-19T09:11:41+08:00

The moral crisis of the modern era, marked by declining honesty, empathy, and responsibility, as well as pervasive violence and intolerance among young people, underscores the urgency of strengthening character education grounded in Islamic values. This study aimed to identify Islamic character values in the Qur’an and Hadith, the methods for instilling these values, and their relevance to contemporary character education. A qualitative library research method was employed, drawing on Qur’anic verses, hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad, works of Qur’anic exegesis, hadith commentaries, and literature on Islamic education. The data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic descriptive techniques. The findings indicate seven core character values—gratitude, patience, honesty, compassion, justice, responsibility, and sincerity, which encompass both vertical–spiritual and horizontal–social dimensions. In addition, six methods of value internalization were identified, namely role modeling, guidance, motivation, sustained habituation, advice, and organizational structuring, all of which are consistent with modern educational approaches such as role modeling, mentoring, and school culture formation. The study concludes that Qur’anic and Prophetic character values are highly relevant for addressing contemporary moral problems such as dishonesty, low empathy, violence, and intolerance. Its theoretical implications enrich the discourse of Islamic education through the formulation of a comprehensive conceptual framework of Islamic character, while its practical implications include the development of character education policies, the design of a more applicative Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum, value-based instructional strategies, and the strengthening of school–family collaboration in character formation. The study also recommends further empirical research to test the effectiveness of these value internalization methods in real classroom contexts and to develop integrative models of character education.

Implementasi Buku Kontrol Sholat sebagai Instrumen Pembentukan Disiplin Religius Siswa: Studi Kualitatif di SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Makassar

2026-01-25T07:13:35+08:00

Religious discipline is one of the core objectives of Islamic education at the junior secondary level; however, limited school time to facilitate obligatory prayers and weak supervision of worship outside school create a gap between students’ religious knowledge and their actual worship practices. This study aimed to examine the implementation of a prayer monitoring book as an instrument for fostering students’ religious discipline, to analyze teachers’, students’, and parents’ perceptions of its use, and to identify the forms of religious discipline and the obstacles encountered in its implementation at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Makassar. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with participants comprising the principal, Al-Islam Kemuhammadiyahan teachers, homeroom teachers, Grade VII–IX students, and parents. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that the prayer monitoring book is implemented systematically through a mechanism of completion and verification by parents and regular inspection by teachers, thereby contributing to increased punctuality in performing prayers, enhanced personal responsibility among students, and greater awareness of worship outside the school environment. Nevertheless, technical, psychological, and coordination-related constraints were identified that affect the consistency of its implementation. It can be concluded that the prayer monitoring book is effective as an instrument for nurturing religious discipline when supported by consistent supervision and sustained collaboration between school and parents, with important implications for the development of more humanistic and reflective worship monitoring instruments in the context of Islamic education.

Penerapan Kurikulum Merdeka pada Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia Teks Laporan Hasil Observasi di Kelas VIII SMP Negeri 4 Gunung Talang

2026-01-24T09:24:03+08:00

The implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka in Indonesian language learning is crucial for enhancing students’ literacy and critical thinking skills, yet studies that specifically examine the alignment of planning, implementation, and assessment in teaching Observation Report (Laporan Hasil Observasi, LHO) texts at the junior secondary level remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka in teaching LHO texts to Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 4 Gunung Talang. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving two Grade VIII Indonesian language teachers, the vice-principal for curriculum, and the principal, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of lesson plans and instructional materials, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which comprises data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka has been carried out well in terms of lesson planning, instructional practices, and assessment. Teachers have developed learning documents in the form of Learning Outcomes, Learning Objectives, Learning Objectives Sequences, and teaching modules in accordance with Kurikulum Merdeka guidelines. Instructional activities were conducted through group discussions and LHO text writing projects, although differences in student engagement levels were observed across classes. Assessment practices have included diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments; however, the documentation of diagnostic assessment and the provision of formative feedback still need to be strengthened. These findings deepen understanding of Kurikulum Merdeka implementation in Indonesian language instruction of LHO texts and provide a basis for reinforcing differentiated teaching practices and continuous assessment at the junior secondary school level.

Best Practice Kemandirian Anak Usia Dini (Studi Implementasi 9 Pilar Karakter di Lembaga PAUD)

2026-01-27T17:22:00+08:00

Independence is a crucial asset that children must develop from an early age to face the challenges of the digital era, yet studies that specifically evaluate the success of the 9 Pilar Karakter program of the Indonesian Heritage Foundation (IHF) in fostering independence among young children remain limited. This study aimed to examine the implementation and effectiveness of the 9 Pilar Karakter program in shaping independence in early childhood at BA Islamiyah Pesen, Kanor Subdistrict, Bojonegoro. A qualitative case study approach was employed with 14 children in Group A as the research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that implementation of the program through three main activities—knowing feeling, tell a story, and acting feeling—contributes to transforming children into more independent and self-confident individuals in their daily activities and learning context. These results affirm that the 9 Pilar Karakter program plays a strategic role in strengthening independence and socio-emotional character in early childhood. The implications of this study highlight the importance of optimizing the implementation of the 9 Pilar Karakter program as a foundation for children to navigate learning processes at subsequent educational levels as well as in everyday life.

Relatively low student learning outcomes and limited courage and motivation to express ideas formed the background for implementing the reciprocal teaching instructional strategy in the Informatics subject. This study aimed to measure the impact of reciprocal teaching on the Informatics learning outcomes of seventh-grade students at MTsN 9 Agam. The research employed an experimental method with a quasi-experimental design, specifically a nonequivalent control group design. The population comprised all seventh-grade students of MTsN 9 Agam in the 2024–2025 academic year, with a sample of 50 students selected using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using an objective-format post-test and analyzed through prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity tests) followed by a parametric statistical test in the form of a t-test. The analysis showed that the calculated t-value (tₕᵢₜᵤₙg = 3.116) was greater than the critical t-value (tₜₐᵦₑₗ = 2.011), with a significance value (two-tailed p-value) of 0.003 < 0.05, so H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. These findings indicate a significant effect of the reciprocal teaching instructional strategy on the Informatics learning outcomes of seventh-grade students at MTsN 9 Agam. Accordingly, reciprocal teaching can be recommended as an effective alternative instructional strategy to improve student learning outcomes and contribute to the development of innovative learning models in schools.

The Authority of Knowledge and Teacher-Student Relations: An Epistemological Analysis of Islamic Education Based on Kitab Kuning

2026-01-30T21:23:11+08:00

Amid contemporary information disruption that tends to de-authorize teachers and fragment epistemic authority, pesantren (Islamic boarding school) traditions persist as a distinctive model of knowledge transmission grounded in the classical pedagogy of Kitab Kuning (Yellow Book). This study philosophically dissects the epistemological construction of scholarly authority and the dynamics of teacher–student relations within this tradition. Using a qualitative–descriptive approach framed by the Islamic philosophy of science, it analyzes the classical texts Ta’lim al-Muta’allim and Adab al-‘Alim wa al-Muta’allim. The findings show that Islamic scholarly authority is not rooted in power dominance but in the legitimacy of transmission through sanad (chain of narration), which functions as an epistemic anchor for the authenticity and continuity of knowledge. Epistemologically, teacher–student relations integrate a triadic mode of reasoning: bayani (textual authority), burhani (logical validation), and irfani (spiritual intuition), positioning the teacher’s authority as an epistemic guarantee that safeguards the originality of meaning and the barakah (blessing) of knowledge. The study concludes that this classical construction of authority and relational ethics offers a critical corrective to modern educational tendencies that marginalize spiritual depth and intellectual humility, and implies the need to revitalize the concept of adab in contemporary Islamic higher education to counter the shallowing of intellectual spirituality.
