Abstract

This study is motivated by the phenomenon of extremely easy access to videos and films through various social media platforms, which has led many people to consume various types of uneducational content that erodes their character values. The film Sang Kiai by Rako Prijanto (2013) is a must-watch for them because it provides concrete examples of character education values in everyday life. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a library research approach. Data sources are drawn directly from the film Sang Kiai and several books related to character education theory. Scene selection in the film employs purposive sampling. By using content analysis, the researcher can easily identify dialogues, scenes, and atmospheres that display specific character values in the film, thereby yielding a comprehensive understanding and results. The focus of this study is to identify character education values in the film Sang Kiai, their representations, and their relevance to character education theory. The analysis identified 22 scene representations comprising the values of politeness (6 scenes), emotional control (3 scenes), independence (2 scenes), compassion (4 scenes), and patriotism (7 scenes). Beyond mere frequency of occurrence, these findings indicate the significance and close interconnection among these values in shaping moral messages. The values of courtesy and emotional control serve as the spiritual and moral foundation of the characters, which in turn underpin the development of independent attitudes and care for the community. It is the integration of these four values that ultimately manifests a strong sense of patriotism (as reflected in the jihad resolution). The film Sang Kiai does not merely present character values in isolation but weaves them into a holistic educational framework, making it highly relevant and comprehensive as an educational medium.   Keywords: Representation, Character education, Film Sang Kiai, Rako Prijanto

Abstract

This study aims to describe the insertion of religious moderation values in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning and to examine how these values are integrated, internalized, and practiced within the educational process. Employing a qualitative approach with a single-case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, moderate participant observation, and document analysis involving IRE teachers, students, school leaders, guidance and counseling teachers, and homeroom teachers selected purposively. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through transcription, coding, categorization, and theme development. The findings reveal four main patterns of religious moderation insertion: the integration of moderation values into IRE lesson planning, the implementation of dialogic, reflective, and contextual learning strategies, the internalization of moderation values through school culture, and students’ experiences in interpreting and practicing religious moderation in their daily lives. These findings indicate that religious moderation is not merely presented as normative content but functions as a socio-pedagogical practice shaped by the interaction of curriculum, teachers, school culture, and students’ lived experiences. The study implies the need to strengthen instructional planning, attitude assessment, and collaborative school programs to foster an inclusive, tolerant, non-violent, and contextually responsive Islamic education ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in fostering students’ critical thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to explore the learning process and its influence on students’ critical thinking development. The participants consisted of two Islamic Religious Education teachers and three tenth-grade students selected through purposive sampling to represent high, moderate, and low levels of classroom participation. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, two classroom observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis involving coding, categorization, and theme development, while credibility was ensured through source and method triangulation as well as member checking. The findings indicate that PBL was implemented through contextual problem presentation, collaborative group work, information investigation, class presentations, and reflective discussions. This learning model stimulated students’ ability to identify problems, justify arguments, consider multiple perspectives, and relate Islamic values to real-life situations. Nevertheless, improvements in critical thinking were not equally distributed, as some students still encountered difficulties in evaluating source credibility, constructing logical conclusions, and actively participating in discussions. The effectiveness of PBL was influenced by the quality of learning problems, teacher scaffolding, group role allocation, information literacy, and a supportive classroom environment. These findings imply that PBL should be implemented systematically, continuously, and adaptively to optimize students’ critical thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of re-examining the da'wah strategies of the Walisongo, which contributed significantly to the Islamization of Java through peaceful, adaptive, and human-centered approaches. One of the most prominent figures in this regard was Sunan Drajat, whose teachings of Catur Piwulang emphasized social concern and the dignity of human beings. This study aims to analyze Catur Piwulang as a form of humanistic da'wah in the history of Islamization in Java and to examine its relevance to Islamic education. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using library research and a historical-hermeneutic perspective. Data were collected from books, scholarly articles, and historical sources related to Sunan Drajat’s da'wah, Islamic humanism, and Islamic education, and were analyzed through content analysis and historical analysis. The findings reveal that Catur Piwulang—which teaches giving a cane to the blind, food to the hungry, clothing to the naked, and shelter to those exposed to rain—represents a da'wah strategy oriented toward fulfilling basic human needs, upholding human dignity, and strengthening social solidarity. These values reflect the principles of Islamic humanism and correspond with the humanistic theories of Paulo Freire and Abraham Maslow. Furthermore, Catur Piwulang demonstrates strong relevance to Islamic education by promoting empathy, social responsibility, justice, and humanitarian awareness. In conclusion, Sunan Drajat’s Catur Piwulang can be understood as a form of humanistic da'wah that remains relevant as a paradigm for developing moderate, inclusive, and socially civilized Islamic da'wah and education.
