Abstract

The development of imagination in early childhood is crucial for supporting creativity and cognitive abilities. This study aims to enhance the imagination of children aged 5-6 years through the finger painting activities using Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, involving 15 children aged 4-6 years as subjects. Initial observations revealed that most children were in the "not yet developed" category. In Cycle I, free experimentation with finger painting improved their status to "starting to develop" and "developing as expected." In Cycle II, structured instructions and more varied colors resulted in most children reaching the "developing as expected" category. Finger painting proved effective in fostering imagination, creativity, and confidence in early childhood.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine in depth the application of Islamic counseling services in strengthening students’ self-adjustment at three Islamic senior high schools (madrasah aliyah) affiliated with modern pesantren in Medan City—MA Darul Hikmah, MA Al-Kausar Al-Akbar, and MA Ta’dib Al-Syakirin. The research focus is directed toward addressing the empirical gap concerning the effectiveness of Islamic counseling services within an urban and boarding school-based context. Design/methods/approach – Employing a qualitative approach with a multisite study design, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Informants consisted of school principals, counseling teachers, students, and parents. Data analysis was conducted thematically and across sites using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. Findings – Islamic counseling services play a strategic role in strengthening students’ self-adjustment across three dimensions: social, emotional, and spiritual. The three pesantren adopt different approaches—spiritual-integrative, dialogical-reflective, and assertive-symbolic—yet share aligned objectives. The types of services include orientation, information, individual/group counseling, spiritual reinforcement, as well as evaluation and referral. Success is highly influenced by students’ personal readiness and institutional support. However, the effectiveness of these services has not yet been measured using quantitative evaluative instruments, resulting in outcome assessments that remain descriptive. Research implications – Practical implications include the need to formalize the structure of counseling services in pesantren, provide data-driven training for counseling teachers, strengthen the role of musyrif as informal mentors, and promote intensive collaboration with parents. This model is relevant for implementation in similar Islamic educational institutions to holistically strengthen students’ character.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze Islamic values ??embodied in parenting practices and their application in the lives of modern Muslim families. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through library research, this study examined various academic sources such as journals, books, and scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The results show that Islamic parenting is based on the values ??of monotheism, compassion (rahmah), responsibility (amanah), discipline, honesty, and role models (uswah hasanah). These values ??are the main foundation in shaping the character of children who are faithful, have noble morals, and are competitive in the global era. The implementation of Islamic parenting is not only through verbal teaching, but also through habituation, role models, and compassionate communication. In the digital era, challenges such as the influence of technology and differences in values ??between generations require parents to integrate Islamic principles with modern parenting approaches. Thus, Islamic values ??remain relevant and can serve as effective guidelines in forming harmonious families and a generation of Muslims who are noble and adaptive to current developments.
