Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and strategies of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers in fostering students’ noble character (akhlakul karimah) through Islamic communication culture at SDIT Cendekia, Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Previous studies have generally discussed character education in schools; however, limited research specifically examines how Islamic communication culture is integrated into daily learning interactions and school activities as a strategy for strengthening students’ moral character. This study employed a qualitative research method using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques. The findings indicate that IRE teachers play important roles as educators, facilitators, counselors, and role models in developing students’ character. The dominant forms of Islamic communication identified in this study include polite verbal interaction, greeting habits (salam culture), persuasive advice, exemplary speech, and personal guidance based on Islamic values. These strategies were implemented through value internalization, uswah hasanah (exemplary behavior), habituation of positive actions, and contextual learning integrated into school culture. The results also show that consistent Islamic communication practices contribute to improving students’ discipline, respect, honesty, and social responsibility. This study implies that strengthening Islamic communication culture can serve as an effective approach for character education in elementary schools and contributes to the development of Islamic-based pedagogical practices in character formation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of instructional media use in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects at SMA Darussalam Medan. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design involving teachers and students as research participants. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation analysis. The data sources consisted of primary and secondary data, which were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings indicate that the use of instructional media significantly improved students’ learning motivation, classroom participation, and understanding of abstract PAI concepts. The instructional media implemented included graphic media and projection media, which supported a more interactive, engaging, and student-centered learning process. These findings suggest that the integration of appropriate instructional media contributes positively to the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education learning and can serve as a practical reference for teachers in improving classroom instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the discussion method in improving students’ critical thinking skills in Fiqh learning and to identify factors influencing its implementation in Grade XI at Madrasah Aliyah Miftahussalam Medan. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving the principal, Fiqh teachers, and Grade XI students as participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the discussion method contributes positively to students’ critical thinking development, reflected in increased learning participation, greater confidence in expressing opinions, improved ability to analyze Fiqh-related issues, and stronger logical argument construction. However, several challenges were identified, including differences in students’ academic abilities, low self-confidence, and limited instructional time. This study emphasizes that structured discussion and effective teacher facilitation are essential to support active learning and optimize students’ critical thinking development.
