Neny Liftia, Khoirun Nisa' — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 07:52:45 +0800

Although Fiqih instruction has long been implemented in schools, the learning process is still largely dominated by lecture-based methods and conventional media, resulting in low student motivation and suboptimal achievement of learning objectives. This study aimed to develop an interactive e-module using Flip PDF Professional based on QR Code technology and to evaluate its feasibility, effectiveness, and students’ responses to its use in Fiqih learning. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, encompassing the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects consisted of two validators (a media expert and a content expert) and 30 eighth-grade students at MTsN 5 Jombang. The findings show that the developed e-module was categorized as highly feasible, with feasibility scores of 94% from the media expert and 86% from the content expert. Student responses were also very positive, with an average score of 89.3%, indicating that the e-module is engaging, easy to use, and supports students’ understanding of the Fiqih topics of sujud sahwi, tilawah, and syukur. The integration of QR Codes proved to enhance students’ access to videos, practice questions, and other supporting materials. These results confirm that the interactive e-module developed using Flip PDF Professional and QR Code technology is feasible and effective as a digital learning medium for Fiqih, aligned with the needs and characteristics of students in the digital era.

Celni Navivin, Wedra Aprison — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0800

Although active learning methods have been widely examined in educational research, the effect of the brainstorming method on learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the junior high school level, particularly in schools located in non-urban areas, remains relatively underexplored. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the brainstorming method on students’ learning outcomes in the Islamic Religious Education subject at SMP N 1 Gunuang Omeh Subdistrict. A quantitative approach was employed with a quasi-experimental design in the form of a Static Group Comparison Design, involving 40 eighth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using an objective multiple-choice test and analyzed with the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test after normality and homogeneity tests were conducted. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p = 0.003 < 0.05), where the experimental group taught using the brainstorming method obtained a mean score of 83.40 with an 85% mastery level, while the control group taught using conventional methods obtained a mean score of 74.10 with a 55% mastery level. These findings reinforce constructivist and social learning theories in the context of Islamic Religious Education and confirm that the implementation of active learning strategies based on brainstorming is effective in improving students’ learning outcomes. The study recommends that Islamic Religious Education teachers further integrate the brainstorming method into classroom practice as part of developing student-centered learning, and encourages subsequent research to examine the impact of this method on affective and psychomotor domains.

Indah Juniarti, Vivi Anggraini — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:01:40 +0800

Gross motor development in early childhood is important because it forms the foundation for locomotor skills, coordination, and balance, while studies that specifically examine the implementation of a rhythm-based rope-jumping game with jump heights safely modified for children aged 4–5 years in the context of kindergarten learning remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the effect of a rhythmic rope-jumping game on the gross motor development of children aged 4–5 years at Kemala Bhayangkari Kindergarten. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design, involving 20 children consisting of 10 children in the experimental class and 10 children in the control class selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using performance tests and checklist-based observations of gross motor indicators covering movement in rhythm, coordination, balance, and agility, and were then analyzed through prerequisite tests of normality and homogeneity, followed by an independent-samples t-test and Cohen’s d effect size. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (sig. 2-tailed = 0.013), with a higher increase in the mean score in the experimental class, rising from 10.0 to 14.0, compared with the control class, which increased from 9.8 to 12.4, and demonstrated a very strong effect size (d = 2.05). These findings confirm that rhythm-based play activities can be an effective strategy for optimizing children’s gross motor development. Therefore, kindergarten teachers are advised to integrate rhythmic rope-jumping games gradually and safely into classroom learning. The implications of this study include a theoretical contribution to the literature on play-based learning and practical implications for early childhood education and kindergarten institutions, while also opening opportunities for further research on intervention duration and the generalizability of findings across more diverse school contexts.

Annisa Mardiva, Tyas Asih Surya Mentari — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 09:05:10 +0800

Hair aesthetics is an important aspect of the modern cosmetics industry, particularly in the copper blonde coloring trend, which requires a high level of lightness through the bleaching process. Although bleaching techniques continue to develop, empirical studies that specifically compare the effectiveness of using aluminum foil and not using aluminum foil in producing optimal color quality remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the differences in hair bleaching results between the technique using aluminum foil and the technique without aluminum foil. This study used an experimental method with a quantitative descriptive approach and a pre-experimental posttest-only design, involving 6 women aged 15–45 years in Padang City who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an assessment instrument for the quality of bleaching results based on the level of lightness, color uniformity, and tone accuracy, and were then analyzed through the normality test, homogeneity test, and Independent Sample t-Test. The results showed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous, and the t-test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two techniques. The mean score of bleaching results using aluminum foil was 3.87, higher than that without aluminum foil at 2.68, indicating that the aluminum foil technique produced a better level of lightness and color uniformity. Thus, the use of aluminum foil is more effective in improving the quality of hair bleaching results. These findings contribute to the development of hair coloring technique methodology and provide practical implications for hairstyling practitioners in selecting a more efficient application technique to achieve optimal coloring results. This study also opens opportunities for further research involving a broader sample and analyzing the impact of bleaching on hair structure.

Muhammad Iqbal, Sri Rahma, Achyat Budianto — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 14:58:58 +0800

Although the development of e-commerce has changed consumer behavior in purchasing food products online, Muslim consumers’ purchase decisions are influenced not only by economic factors, such as price, but also by religious values through halal awareness and social factors through celebrity endorsers. This study aimed to analyze the influence of price, halal awareness, and celebrity endorsers on purchase decisions for halal food products on e-commerce platforms. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 95 students of the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business at UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi from the 2022–2024 cohorts. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using validity, reliability, classical assumption, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²) analyses with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed that, partially, price and halal awareness had a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions, whereas celebrity endorsers had no significant effect. Simultaneously, the three variables had a significant effect on purchase decisions, with an F value of 13.926 (p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.315 indicates that 31.5% of the variation in purchase decisions can be explained by price, halal awareness, and celebrity endorsers. These findings confirm that purchase decisions for halal food products on e-commerce platforms are more strongly influenced by price and halal awareness than by promotion through public figures. This study contributes to strengthening the study of Muslim consumer behavior in the context of digital commerce and provides practical implications for business actors to set competitive prices and ensure clarity of product halal status in order to increase consumer trust and purchase decisions.

Although competition in the culinary business is becoming increasingly intense, studies that specifically discuss business development strategies in local culinary businesses to enhance competitive advantage remain relevant. This study aims to analyze the business development strategies implemented by the Mie Ayam Mbah Bejo culinary business in Genteng Subdistrict, Banyuwangi, in improving its competitive advantage in the local culinary market. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving the business owner, employees, and customers of Mie Ayam Mbah Bejo, and were then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the business development strategy was implemented through the marketing concept of Segmenting, Targeting, and Positioning (STP) and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. In terms of segmentation, the business did not limit customers by region, age, or income level, thereby reaching various segments of society. The targeting strategy was open by making all levels of society the target market, while positioning was built through the image of a legendary chicken noodle stall with a distinctive taste, affordable prices, a strategic location, and friendly service. The SWOT analysis showed that the business’s strengths lie in product quality, affordable prices, a strategic location, and the utilization of digital technology, such as delivery services and cashless payments. The opportunities include the development of digital technology and the business reputation that has been widely recognized, while the business’s weaknesses include limited workforce and environmental conditions prone to flooding, and the threats stem from increasing competition from similar culinary businesses and changes in consumer preferences. Thus, this study confirms that the implementation of appropriate business development strategies contributes to enhancing the competitive advantage and sustainability of the Mie Ayam Mbah Bejo business amid competition in the local culinary market.

Armstrong Chanda, Austin Mumba Cheyeka, Tomaida L.C Milingo — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:42:30 +0800

Although the coexistence of Catholicism and African Indigenous Religion (AIR) among Bemba Catholics in Muchinga Province, Zambia, remains underexplored, it often produces religious friction, identity tensions, and frustration in lived religious experience. This study examined the challenges, tensions, and prospects involved in negotiating the dual religiosity of Bemba Catholics who practice Catholicism alongside AIR. Using a qualitative design grounded in hermeneutic phenomenology, the study involved 20 Bemba Catholic participants and drew data from in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and observations. The data were analyzed using Van Manen’s thematic reflection approach. The findings reveal that negotiating dual religiosity presents multiple challenges, including conflicting beliefs, social stigma, excommunication and disciplinary pressures, and tensions between Christian faith and ethno-religious identity. The study also identified inadequate integration of faith and culture, misconceptions and misinterpretations of Bemba traditional beliefs and practices, and resistance to change within the church as key sources of tension. At the same time, the findings indicate prospects for constructive dialogue with the church and personal development among adherents. This study contributes a contextualized understanding of dual religiosity by foregrounding local cultural complexities in the interpretation of religious identity and practice. It concludes that open discussion is necessary to address the tensions surrounding dual religiosity and recommends that the church develop programs to educate both clergy and laity on the cultural relevance of indigenous beliefs and practices.

Although bullying remains a serious problem in educational settings, this practice often appears in forms that are considered normal, such as ridicule, social exclusion, and pressure from peers and seniors. This study aimed to analyze the impact of bullying and identify the most dominant dimension affecting the psychological condition of students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Jam’iyyah Islamiyyah Pondok Aren, South Tangerang. This study used a mixed-methods approach involving 60 students in January–February 2026. The research instrument consisted of 20 statement items covering four dimensions, namely verbal bullying, physical bullying, social bullying, and seniority. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using percentage techniques. The results showed that verbal bullying had the highest percentage at 63%, followed by social bullying at 52%, seniority at 49%, and physical bullying at 46%. These findings indicate that verbal bullying is the most dominant dimension affecting students’ emotional condition, as reflected in the emergence of anxiety, sadness, low self-esteem, and decreased self-confidence. This study concludes that bullying, particularly in verbal form, has a significant impact on students’ psychological condition. These findings contribute to strengthening the study of the psychological impact of bullying in the madrasah environment and provide practical implications for schools to strengthen bullying prevention programs, guidance and counseling services, and the cultivation of character values and religiosity in order to create a safe and supportive learning environment.

Septia Esramelda, Hasanuddin WS — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:57:09 +0800

Although studies on character traits in literary works continue to develop, analyses that specifically emphasize sociological aspects through an objective approach are still relatively limited. This study aims to describe the characterization of the main character in the novel Egosentris by Syahid Muhammad based on sociological aspects. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences related to the character’s social background were collected through intensive reading and note-taking techniques, then analyzed using thematic analysis through the stages of identification, classification, and interpretation. The results showed that the characterization of the main character was shaped by sociological aspects including social status, education, occupation, and hobbies. The character’s social status within the lower-middle economic stratum gave rise to social pressure and injustice that influenced his attitudes and behavior. The educational aspect indicated the presence of academic pressure that also shaped the character’s mindset, while occupation reflected the character’s social responsibility and independence in dealing with economic limitations. Meanwhile, hobbies functioned as a way for the character to respond to the social pressures he experienced. These findings affirm that the social environment has an important role in shaping character traits in literary works. This study contributes to strengthening characterization studies and can be utilized in literature learning.

Maria Widya Wanti, Laila Badriyah, Sholehuddin Sulaiman — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 08:41:07 +0800

Although schools have systematically implemented various character education programs, character formation among students at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah level still shows behavioral variation, indicating that internal and external factors have not yet been fully integrated optimally. This study aims to analyze the influence of family environment, peers, and school culture on the character formation of students at MTs Darul Ulum Waru Sidoarjo, as well as to identify the variable that makes the greatest contribution. This study employed a quantitative approach with a survey design. The study population consisted of 834 students, with a sample of 288 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an eight-point Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted through instrument quality testing, classical assumption testing, and multiple linear regression analysis, while hypothesis testing used the t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results showed that family environment, peers, and school culture had a partial and significant effect on student character. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.601 indicates that 60.1% of the variation in student character can be explained by these three variables, while 39.9% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings also show that school culture is the most dominant variable influencing student character formation. Thus, student character formation requires family support, positive peer interaction, and consistency in school culture. This study affirms the importance of sustained collaboration between parents and schools in creating an environment that supports effective and sustainable character education.

Takaful in Market Reality: A Critical Assessment of Its Distinction from Conventional Insurance

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 09:00:39 +0800

This paper critically examines the distinction between takaful and conventional insurance through the lens of maqasid al-Shari’ah. While existing scholarship has often compared the two systems primarily in terms of contractual structures and institutional arrangements, this study argues that contemporary takaful practices frequently replicate conventional insurance models, thereby raising concerns regarding their substantive alignment with Islamic principles. Methodologically, the paper adopts a qualitative doctrinal approach using content analysis of academic literature, fatwa positions, and regulatory guidelines. The analysis demonstrates that the fundamental distinction between takaful and conventional insurance lies not merely in structural modification, but in the ethical foundations of mutuality, justice, and risk-sharing that takaful is intended to uphold. The findings indicate that operational pressures and market realities have weakened these ideals, resulting in persistent challenges related to governance, surplus management, and product design. By incorporating maqasid considerations, particularly hifz al-māl and ʿadl, the study reorients the discourse on takaful from a narrow compliance-based perspective toward a more value-driven framework. The paper concludes that preserving the distinct identity of takaful requires moving beyond formal legal compliance to ensure that its operations genuinely reflect the higher objectives of Shari’ah. This study contributes theoretically by enriching the Islamic finance literature through a maqasid-centric perspective and offers practical implications for regulators, takaful operators, and policymakers seeking to realign industry practice with its original ethical foundations.

Hendra Hendra, Syaiful Anw’ar — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 19:14:17 +0800

Although many studies have examined the role of ulama in Indonesia’s struggle for independence, research that specifically discusses the contribution of Syekh Sulaiman Ar-Rasuli in defending Indonesian independence during the 1945–1949 period remains limited. This study aims to analyze the role and struggle of Syekh Sulaiman Ar-Rasuli in the fields of education, politics, law, and the social mobilization of Muslims during the independence revolution. This study employed a qualitative approach with a historical research method. Data were obtained through literature study, historical documentation, and field study in Candung by utilizing archives, historical photographs, and related literature. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of heuristics, internal and external source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results showed that Syekh Sulaiman Ar-Rasuli played an important role in spreading the spirit of jihad fi sabilillah through the educational institution Madrasah Tarbiyah Islamiyah (MTI) Candung, transforming Persatuan Tarbiyah Islamiyah (PERTI) into a political party, and supporting the establishment of Laskar Muslimin and Laskar Muslimat in defending independence. In addition, his leadership as Chairman of the Mahkamah Syar’iyah of Central Sumatra also played a role in maintaining social stability and the implementation of Islamic law during the transition to independence. These findings enrich historiographical studies on the role of ulama in the national struggle and demonstrate the strategic contribution of ulama to the formation of the socio-political structure of society in the early period of Indonesian independence.

Distorsi Tujuan Pendidikan Islam di Era Modern: Bentuk, Faktor dan Langkah Preventif Pencegahannya

Syiehd Achmed Farhan, Winarnoko Winarnoko — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 21:20:37 +0800

Although Islamic education plays an important role in developing knowledge in the modern era, reality shows that Islamic education has not been fully able to respond appropriately to change, thereby giving rise to the phenomenon of distortion. This study aims to analyze the forms of distortion in the goals of Islamic education in the modern era, the factors that influence them, and preventive measures to address them. This study employed a qualitative approach with a library research design combined with a phenomenon study. The results showed that the distortion of Islamic education is reflected in the reduction of goals, the formalization of Islamic symbols, the dominance of cognitive aspects, and the weakening of the relationship between students and educators. These distortions are influenced by internal factors, such as the weak role of parents, a crisis in the concept and identity of Islamic education, curricula that are not yet holistic and innovative, as well as the quality and exemplary conduct of educators, as well as external factors, such as globalization, technological development, social dynamics, and the influence of Western culture. These findings affirm the need to reconstruct the goals of Islamic education based on tauhid, strengthen adab and morals, revitalize the role of educators as murabbi, and implement the principle of wasathiyah so that Islamic education is able to form human beings who are faithful, knowledgeable, and of noble character in a balanced manner. This study contributes to strengthening the study of Islamic education, particularly in understanding the distortion of educational goals and formulating preventive measures that are relevant to the challenges of the modern era.

Analisis Praktek Qardh bagi Petani Jagung di Nagari Salareh Aia Timur, Kecamatan Palembayan, Kabupaten Agam Perspektif Ekonomi Islam

Sindi Saputri, Endri Yenti — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:58:27 +0800

This study was motivated by the practice of qardh accompanied by the provision that corn farmers who borrow must pledge their corn fields to the toke, are required to sell their harvest to the lender, face differences in purchase prices between indebted and non-indebted farmers, and are subject to the toke taking profit from the sale of harvested corn per ton. This study aims to describe the practice of qardh in Nagari Salareh Aia Timur and to analyze it from the perspective of Islamic Economics. This study used a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data collection, data reduction, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the practice of qardh between corn farmers and toke in Nagari Salareh Aia Timur was generally influenced by economic factors and the limited access to transportation for farmers to reach the corn fields. The practice of qardh was not entirely based on the spirit of mutual assistance, but was instead accompanied by certain interests that bound the farmers. The contract used took the form of a verbal agreement covering all loan provisions. From the perspective of Islamic Economics, the application of Islamic economic principles in this practice has not been fully implemented, because corn farmers have applied only some of the existing principles. This study concludes that the practice of qardh taking place in Nagari Salareh Aia Timur still leaves problems in the application of Islamic Economic principles, particularly in relation to justice, public benefit, and the orientation of mutual assistance in lending transactions.

The results showed that the strategies implemented by coffee farmers to increase income included market development, product development, market penetration, integration, and diversification. The market development strategy was carried out through the expansion of marketing beyond the jorong area and the sale of coffee in the form of green beans at a higher selling price. The product development strategy was carried out through the selection of Arabica Ciari and Robusta coffee varieties and the processing of coffee from raw beans into powder. In addition, farmers also implemented market penetration, integration, and diversification strategies to increase added value and reduce economic risk. However, farmers still faced internal constraints in the form of limited capital, the not yet optimal implementation of post-harvest practices, and a lack of training and extension services, so that plantation management still depended on individual experience. External constraints included weather changes, pest and plant disease attacks, and fluctuations in coffee prices. This study concludes that the strategies implemented have contributed to increasing farmers’ income, but have not yet operated optimally due to various constraints. Therefore, the optimization of farming strategies and the enhancement of farmers’ capacity are important factors in improving the welfare of coffee farmers.

Upaya Guru dalam Menanggulangi Kesulitan Siswa Menghafal al-Qur’an di SD IT Hasanah Kecamatan Pantai Cermin

Selvi Tria Ananda, Rahmi Wiza — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 06:59:45 +0800

Although studies on teachers’ efforts to address students’ difficulties in memorizing the Al-Qur’an have been conducted previously, discussions that specifically highlight these efforts through structured evaluation remain limited. This study aims to examine the forms of students’ difficulties in memorizing the Al-Qur’an at SD IT Hasanah, Pantai Cermin Subdistrict, as well as the efforts made by teachers to address them through various forms of evaluation. This study used a qualitative method with a case study type. The data sources were obtained from informants selected through purposive sampling, and were supported by primary and secondary data. Data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model through the stages of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that students’ difficulties in memorizing the Al-Qur’an included low motivation, lack of seriousness, infrequent muraja’ah, and not yet optimal mastery of makharijul huruf and tajwid. In addressing these difficulties, teachers applied context, input, process, and outcome evaluation. These findings indicate that structured evaluation can be an effective way to improve students’ Al-Qur’an memorization ability, shape religious and disciplined character, and serve as a reference for teachers in carrying out tahfiz activities sustainably. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous evaluation in addressing students’ difficulties in memorizing the Al-Qur’an and opens opportunities for further research on the role of parents in assisting students’ memorization at home.

Ani Nur Aeni, Yudi Guntoro, Farraj Azman Muyasar, Liza Ananda Putri — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 19:13:10 +0800

Although the use of digital learning media has received considerable attention in previous studies, research that specifically discusses the development of website-based learning media integrating various interactive features in Islamic Education learning, particularly on the topic of kalimah ṭayyibah in elementary schools, remains limited. This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of the BUDIMAN educational website (Budaya Islami untuk Generasi Beriman) as an interactive learning medium for third-grade elementary school students. This study used a qualitative approach with the Design and Development (D&D) method through the ADDIE model, involving 37 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and then analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis. The results showed that the BUDIMAN website was in the very feasible category based on expert validation, with a material expert validation percentage of 100% and a media expert validation percentage of 97.5%. In addition, students showed high enthusiasm and engagement during the learning process. These findings contribute to the development of interactive digital learning media and broaden understanding of technology integration in Islamic Education learning in elementary schools. This study concludes that interactive website-based learning media have an important role in increasing students’ engagement and understanding of kalimah ṭayyibah material, so the use of innovative digital media needs to be optimized to support more effective learning.

The Strategy of the Kajang Ammatoa Traditional Community in Maintaining the Pasang ri Kajang in the Globalization Era

A. Devi Tenri Puji, Sakaria Sakaria, Nuvida RAF, Suaib Suaib — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:13:04 +0800

Globalization has intensified information flows, modernization, and social interactions, creating both opportunities and challenges for the preservation of local customary values. Within this context, the Kajang Ammatoa indigenous community in Tana Towa Village, Bulukumba Regency, Indonesia, continues to uphold Pasang ri Kajang as a normative guide governing human relationships with others, nature, and the Creator. This study aimed to analyze the socio-cultural impacts of globalization on the community and to examine the strategies employed to preserve Pasang ri Kajang values amid ongoing social change. The research adopted a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with customary leaders and knowledgeable community members, and document analysis. The findings indicate that globalization has encouraged gradual social adaptation without directly eroding the community’s core values. The principal preservation strategies include strengthening the authority of customary institutions, maintaining a simple way of life through Kamase-masea, and transmitting values through everyday social practices. The study also found that the community selectively adapts modern elements while remaining anchored to its foundational norms. Interpreted through Anthony Giddens’ structuration theory, Pasang ri Kajang functions as a normative structure that is continuously reproduced and negotiated by social agents through reflexive practice. The study concludes that cultural continuity within the Kajang Ammatoa community is dynamic rather than static, sustained through reflective adaptation that enables Pasang ri Kajang to remain relevant amid globalization. These findings contribute to the understanding of indigenous cultural resilience and demonstrate how customary communities preserve core values while negotiating contemporary social transformations.

Hubungan Efikasi Diri dengan Hasil Belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Budi Pekerti Siswa di SMK Swasta Pembangunan Bukittinggi

Yora Nurhazizah, Iswantir Iswantir — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 17:01:35 +0800

Although the relationship between self-efficacy and learning outcomes has been widely discussed in various studies, studies that specifically examine the relationship between self-efficacy and learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education (PAI and BP) among vocational high school students remain limited. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and PAI and BP learning outcomes among students at SMK Swasta Pembangunan Bukittinggi. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design, involving 60 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire to measure self-efficacy and score documentation to measure learning outcomes, and were then analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation technique. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and learning outcomes, with a correlation coefficient of 0.264 and a significance value of 0.042 (< 0.05). These findings indicate that students with higher self-efficacy tend to have better learning outcomes, although the level of relationship found was in the low category. This study contributes to strengthening self-efficacy theory in the context of PAI and BP learning and broadens understanding of the role of psychological factors in the achievement of vocational high school students’ learning outcomes. The conclusion of this study confirms that self-efficacy is one of the factors that contributes to students’ learning success. Therefore, teachers and educational institutions need to develop learning strategies that can enhance students’ self-efficacy. The implications of this study include theoretical contributions to the field of educational psychology and practical contributions to the development of character-based learning, while also opening opportunities for further research on other factors that influence student learning outcomes.

Amalia Rahmadhani, Salsabila Az-Zahra Rizal, Vevriyani Effendi, Mario Pratama — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 11:12:02 +0800

Although social support is considered to have an important role in the process of student adjustment, studies that specifically discuss the relationship between social support and the adjustment of students from Papua in the higher education environment remain limited. This study aims to determine whether or not there is a relationship between social support and the adjustment of students from Papua at Universitas Negeri Padang. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design, involving 10 Papuan students as research participants. Data were collected through social support and adjustment questionnaires and were then analyzed using the Spearman-rho correlation test. The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.431 with a significance value of 0.231, which means that there was no significant relationship between social support and adjustment. In addition, most students were in the moderate category for both variables. These findings indicate that social support is not the main factor affecting the adjustment of Papuan students at Universitas Negeri Padang. This study contributes to strengthening studies in educational psychology and cross-cultural student adaptation, while also providing practical implications that the adjustment of migrant students needs to be understood more comprehensively by considering factors other than social support.

Internalisasi Nilai Nilai Pendidikan Islam dalam Kegiatan Minang Sahari di SMP Negeri 13 Padang

Ulil Abshar, Rini Rahman — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 08:32:46 +0800

Although the integration of Islamic educational values with local wisdom is important in shaping students’ religious character, studies that specifically analyze these values and their internalization process in Minang Sahari activities remain limited. This study aims to describe the Islamic educational values contained in Minang Sahari activities and to analyze their internalization process among students at SMP Negeri 13 Padang. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. The research informants consisted of the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques, while data validity was tested through source and technique triangulation. The results showed that Minang Sahari activities contain Islamic educational values that include aqidah, worship, morality, and muamalah. These values are reflected in various activities, such as the use of traditional attire, traditional art performances, the use of the Minangkabau language, and the implementation of customary traditions rich in religious and social meaning. The process of internalizing values was carried out through habituation, role modeling, and direct experience (learning by doing) involving students’ active participation. This activity was proven to be able to shape students’ religious character, such as discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and respect for others. This study concludes that Minang Sahari activities function not only as a means of preserving local culture, but also as an effective medium for instilling Islamic educational values contextually within the school environment.

Although the use of digital game-based learning tools has received increasing attention in prior studies, research specifically addressing the development of a Quizizz-based educational game for the subject of Akidah Akhlak (Moral Theology) at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah level remains limited. This study aims to develop a Quizizz-based educational game for seventh-grade Akidah Akhlak students and to analyze its effectiveness and feasibility in improving student understanding. A Research and Development (R&D) method was employed using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), involving 18 seventh-grade students from MTs Al-Asy'ariyah Banjarsari selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using expert validation questionnaires (for media and material) and student response questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive percentage techniques. The findings indicate that the developed media achieved "very feasible" qualifications from material experts (average score 95.5%) and media experts (average score 82.5%), with student response scores reaching 91% in the "very good" category. These results contribute to the theoretical development of interactive digital media integration in Islamic religious education and expand the understanding of game-based learning implementation in Madrasah contexts. The study concludes that the Quizizz-based educational game plays a crucial role in increasing student motivation, engagement, and comprehension of Akidah Akhlak material, and recommends that teachers and schools adopt this interactive media to create more enjoyable and effective learning experiences. The implications of this research include theoretical contributions to the growing literature on digital learning innovation in Islamic education and practical recommendations for Madrasah educators and curriculum developers. Furthermore, this study highlights opportunities for future research on the long-term impact of Quizizz on student learning outcomes and its application to other subjects or educational levels.

Analisis Praktek Qardh bagi Petani Jagung di Nagari Salareh Aia Timur, Kecamatan Palembayan, Kabupaten Agam Perspektif Ekonomi Islam

Sindi Saputri, Endri Yenti — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 21:06:39 +0800

This study was motivated by the practice of qardh among corn farmers, accompanied by provisions requiring borrowers to pledge their corn fields to the toke providing the loan, to sell their harvests to that toke, to face differences in purchase prices between indebted and non-indebted farmers, and to accept the toke’s taking of profit from the sale of corn harvests per ton. This study aims to identify the practice of qardh in Nagari Salareh Aia Timur and to analyze it from the perspective of Islamic Economics. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data processing and analysis were carried out in three stages, namely data collection, data reduction, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the practice of qardh between corn farmers and toke in Nagari Salareh Aia Timur was generally influenced by economic factors and the farmers’ limited access to transportation to reach their corn fields. The practice constituted a form of lending that was not fully based on the spirit of mutual assistance, with the contract taking the form of an oral agreement covering the entire loan arrangement. From the perspective of Islamic Economics, the implementation of Islamic Economic principles in this practice has not been fully realized, because corn farmers have applied only some of the existing principles. These findings affirm that the practice of qardh among corn farmers in the area still requires adjustment in order to be more in line with the principles of Islamic Economics.

Peran Pemerintah Nagari dalam Pembangunan Fisik di Nagari Tanjung Barulak, Kecamatan Batipuh, Kabupaten Tanah Datar

Fikra Ridhatul Hasanah, Sinta Westika Putri — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:40:26 +0800

Physical development at the nagari level is the spearhead of regional development in West Sumatra, but the role of the nagari government in this process has its own distinctiveness because it cannot be separated from the customary system that is strongly rooted in community life. This study aims to examine the role of the Tanjung Barulak Nagari Government in physical development and to identify the factors that influence it. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 21 informants selected purposively, including nagari officials, jorong heads, representatives of BPRN, KAN, and the community. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation studies, and were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the Tanjung Barulak Nagari Government had carried out five roles according to Siagian, namely stabilizer, innovator, modernizer, pioneer, and implementer, which were manifested through tiered deliberation, innovation in budget and irrigation management, the implementation of RPJM, budget transparency, and a self-management system based on TPK. The most dominant roles were those of stabilizer and implementer, while the roles of innovator, modernizer, and pioneer still need to be strengthened, especially in the use of technology and in increasing public awareness of maintaining development outcomes. Development implementation was supported by the synergy of tungku tigo sajarangan, the spirit of gotong royong, and the technical support of the regency government, but was hindered by delays in fund disbursement, customary land constraints, low awareness of infrastructure maintenance, and the central government’s budget efficiency policy. These findings affirm that strengthening the role of the nagari government in physical development requires more adaptive strategies through optimizing alternative funding schemes and integrating customary values into nagari development policies.

Penerapan Metode Tartil dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Membaca al-Qur’an Santri di Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Sengon Jombang

Esty Lia Sukma Dewi, Lintang Ramadhani, Hilyah Ashoumi — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:24:24 +0800

Although structured Qur’an learning has received attention in a number of studies, research that specifically examines the detailed process of implementing the Tartil method, as well as its supporting and inhibiting factors in the pondok pesantren environment, remains limited. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Tartil method, the improvement of students’ Qur’an reading ability, and its supporting and inhibiting factors at Pondok Pesantren Darussalam Sengon Jombang. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design involving seven informants selected purposively, consisting of the pengasuh, curriculum coordinator, teacher, and students. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model through the stages of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that the implementation of the Tartil method was carried out systematically through the stages of talqin-ittiba', the 3M method (Listening, Imitating, Seeing), and continuous evaluation, and was proven effective in improving the accuracy of makharijul huruf, compliance with tajwid rules, and the students’ reading fluency. The main supporting factors included teacher competence, a religious and disciplined pesantren environment, adequate learning facilities, and the students’ intrinsic motivation. The inhibiting factors included differences in the students’ initial abilities, lack of concentration, limited learning space during the rainy season, and limited teacher availability at certain times. The conclusion of this study confirms that the Tartil method plays an important role in systematically improving the quality of the students’ Qur’an recitation. These findings contribute to the development of the literature on Qur’anic pedagogy and provide practical implications for pondok pesantren to strengthen teacher training, maintain a conducive learning environment, and develop adaptive strategies to overcome physical and motivational barriers. This study also opens opportunities for further research on the long-term retention of Tartil method-based skills and its comparative effectiveness with other methods, such as Ummi or Tilawati.

Implementasi Platform Wayground Berbasis Gamifikasi untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Mahasiswa dalam Mata Kuliah Evaluasi Pembelajaran Pai Unu Purwokerto

Rosyida Nur Azizah, Nur Ali Subhan — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:33:45 +0800

Although the use of online media in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning has received attention in various studies, research that specifically examines the use of an intensively gamified mobile learning platform in the Learning Evaluation course remains limited. This study aims to analyze and demonstrate the extent to which the implementation of the gamification-based Wayground platform can improve students’ understanding in the PAI Learning Evaluation course at UNU Purwokerto. This study employed a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, involving 30 third-semester students selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through multiple-choice and essay tests, non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed using a paired sample t-test and an interactive analysis model. The results showed a significant increase in the mean score from 74.34 to 86.09, representing an increase of 11.75 points, with a significance value of < 0.001. These findings indicate that the Wayground platform is effective in improving students’ cognitive understanding and interactivity, although its level of effectiveness falls within the moderate category (N-Gain = 0.457), and therefore still requires pedagogical support from lecturers for learning outcomes to be more optimal. This study contributes to the development of digital learning models in the environment of Private Islamic Higher Education Institutions and reinforces motivation theory in technology-based learning.
