Abstract

This study investigates learning media innovation implemented by Islamic Religious Education teachers in Indonesian elementary schools and examines how these innovations align with the school’s vision and mission while enhancing instructional quality. The purpose of this study is to identify the forms of learning media innovation, evaluate their pedagogical implications, and analyze internal and external factors affecting their sustainability using a SWOT-based strategic framework. A qualitative case study was conducted at SD Muhammadiyah 1 Candi Sidoarjo, involving one principal, two Islamic Religious Education teachers, and purposively selected Grade III and Grade V students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, integrated with SWOT analysis, to ensure systematic interpretation and triangulation. The findings reveal four dominant categories of learning media: digital presentations, audio-visual videos, concrete teaching aids, and teacher-developed contextual modules. These innovations significantly increased students’ engagement, participation, classroom interaction, and conceptual understanding of religious content. Institutional strengths include leadership support, collaborative teacher culture, and adequate infrastructure, while weaknesses involve limited digital devices, varying levels of technological competence, and time constraints for media preparation. Opportunities arise from technological advancement and institutional partnerships, whereas threats relate to technical complexity and financial limitations. The novelty of this study lies in conceptualizing learning media innovation as a strategic and institutional ecosystem rather than merely a technical classroom practice. This study contributes theoretically by extending differentiated learning theory to Islamic Religious Education across cognitive, affective, and spiritual domains, and practically by offering a strategic framework to guide sustainable media innovation in primary religious education contexts.

Abstract

Writing scientific articles is a crucial component in developing knowledge and technology. In the digital era, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as an essential tool that can assist students in composing high-quality scientific articles. This research aims to evaluate the extent to which students use AI technology in scientific article writing and to analyze its impact on the quality of the resulting articles. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this study examines current literature to understand AI usage's benefits, challenges, and influence in scientific writing. The findings reveal that AI can enhance the quality of student articles by providing more accurate data analysis, improving writing structure, and ensuring originality. However, limited knowledge of AI and inadequate writing skills remain significant barriers. This research also provides recommendations for improving the integration of AI into the scientific writing curriculum to maximize its potential in supporting higher education.

Abstract

Inculcating anti-corruption values is one of the most urgent things to do now. Instilling anti-corruption values can be done in children from an early age. These activities can be carried out consistently and sustainably so that anti-corruption values will become a strong foundation for building attitudes and mentality in children's personalities. A child's personality cannot be formed instantly but requires a long and continuous process. Inculcating anti-corruption values can be done through formal and non-formal education, such as family and the environment around the community, so that the role of parents and an educator is needed for children to continue to guide and set an example of an exemplary attitude towards the application of anti-corruption values. Religious education can also be an essential capital in efforts to teach anti-corruption values by increasing children's faith and devotion; it is hoped that a child will know about the causes and effects of committing acts of corruption in terms of religious law.

Abstract

General Background: The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence has transformed educational practices, including foreign language instruction in secondary schools. Specific Background: In Arabic language learning, AI tools such as ChatGPT and DeepL are increasingly used by students to assist translation, vocabulary development, and independent study activities. Knowledge Gap: However, limited empirical studies examine the intensity of AI utilization and its multidimensional consequences on students’ learning behavior in Indonesian Islamic senior high schools. Aims: This study aims to analyze the intensity of AI use and to identify its positive and negative consequences in Arabic language learning at SMA Muhammadiyah 01 Taman Sidoarjo. Results: Using a qualitative case study approach with interviews, observations, and documentation involving teachers and Grade XII students, the findings reveal high utilization of AI as a translation and learning support tool. Positive outcomes include increased learning motivation, flexible access to materials, time efficiency, and expanded Arabic vocabulary. Conversely, negative consequences involve technological dependency, reduced social interaction, decreased critical thinking initiative, technical access issues, and occasional inaccuracy in translation results. Novelty: The study highlights the dual consequences of AI utilization within a specific senior high school context, emphasizing dependency risks alongside learning benefits. Implications: The findings underline the necessity of active teacher guidance to ensure AI functions as a supportive instrument rather than a substitute for pedagogical roles. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Arabic Language Learning, Qualitative Case Study, Student Dependency, Secondary Education Key Findings Highlights: High classroom reliance on digital translation platforms among Grade XII learners. Motivation growth and vocabulary expansion reported during technology-assisted study. Critical thinking reduction and social interaction decline identified as emerging concerns.
