Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI), particularly Islamic History (Tarikh Islam), is often delivered through textual and teacher-centered approaches that may limit student engagement and religious literacy development. This study aims to design and develop an interactive learning media prototype, namely the RELIGI BOARD, which integrates gamification and Augmented Reality (AR) to support Islamic History learning at the junior high school level. The research employed a Research and Development approach, adopting the first three stages of the ADDIE model: Analysis, Design, and Development. Data were collected through needs analysis interviews with teachers and analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods to examine the design feasibility and theoretical foundation of the media. The results indicate that the RELIGI BOARD prototype is functionally and structurally feasible as an interactive learning medium. The integration of board game mechanics with AR-based visualizations supports the presentation of abstract historical concepts in a more concrete and engaging form. From a theoretical perspective, the convergence of gamification principles and AR technology offers a potential solution to motivational and cognitive challenges in Islamic History learning. Although limited to the prototype development stage, this study suggests that the RELIGI BOARD has potential as an innovative learning media to support religious literacy in Islamic Education.

Abstract

Educational institutions are required to continuously innovate to respond to rapid technological development and increasing competition, while maintaining humanistic and cultural values. School leadership plays a crucial role in ensuring that learning innovation is implemented effectively and sustainably. This study aims to analyze the role of the principal in implementing learning innovations and to identify the challenges faced in the innovation process at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Surakarta. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using field research. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, direct observation of school activities, and document analysis related to learning innovation programs. The findings indicate that the principal plays a central role in driving learning innovation through a servant leadership approach that emphasizes collaboration, teacher empowerment, and student-centered learning. Learning innovations were implemented through the integration of technology-based learning systems, project-based learning, and curriculum enrichment while maintaining Islamic educational values. Internal challenges mainly involved aligning stakeholders’ commitment, while external challenges included parental support and economic limitations. The study concludes that servant leadership contributes significantly to the successful implementation of learning innovations by fostering a supportive school climate, encouraging stakeholder participation, and balancing technological advancement with Islamic cultural values.

Abstract

Qur’anic reading and writing skills remain a challenge for junior secondary school students with diverse religious backgrounds. This study examines the implementation of extracurricular-based Islamic Religious Education learning methods for Qur’anic reading and writing at SMP Negeri 2 Lasem, a public junior high school in Central Java, Indonesia. The study aims to identify the learning methods applied and their contribution to improving students’ Qur’anic literacy skills. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through classroom observations, interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers, extracurricular instructors, and seventh-grade students, as well as documentation analysis. The findings show that Qur’anic Reading and Writing extracurricular activities function as supportive learning spaces beyond formal classroom instruction. Lecture methods introduce basic tajwid and letter articulation, while discussion and question-and-answer methods facilitate interactive correction of reading errors. Guided practice emerged as the most effective approach for improving reading accuracy and fluency. Despite challenges such as limited time, varied student abilities, and inconsistent motivation, the integrated use of these methods contributed to improvements in students’ Qur’anic reading competence and religious character development. The study concludes that extracurricular-based Islamic Religious Education learning offers a practical model for enhancing Qur’anic literacy in public secondary schools.
