Abstract

Parents’ interest in enrolling their children in Islamic Elementary Schools is remarkably high, even though the cost of attending these schools is relatively expensive. This contrasts with public schools, which are generally free of charge. This study aims to explore and explain why Islamic Elementary Schools are highly preferred by Indonesian Muslim communities, particularly parents. The research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Research data were collected through in-depth interviews with five participants, consisting of the principal, teachers, and parents, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s Interactive Model. The findings indicate that parents’ interest in sending their children to Islamic Elementary Schools is influenced by three main factors: theological, sociological, and academic. (i) The theological factor refers to parents’ perspectives based on religious considerations. (ii) The sociological factor relates to the growing positive image of Islamic schools in Indonesia. (iii) The academic factor is associated with the schools’ ability to achieve high academic performance among both students and teachers. These results provide preliminary insights for future researchers to examine this issue in different contexts and with broader analytical perspectives.

Abstract

In the early days of the Quran's revelation, there were only two reasons why the companions memorized the Quran: sincere intentions for Allah and to preserve the purity of the Quran. However, today, there are various motivations for memorizing the Quran. The purpose of this study is to determine the motivations for memorizing the Quran among students at Quranic colleges in Indonesia. To achieve this research objective, the author used two approaches, namely qualitative and quantitative. In the first stage, the author employed a qualitative approach involving twenty participants who were interviewed in depth. The participants were selected using purposive sampling techniques from the 2019, 2020, and 2021 cohorts. The collected data were then analyzed thematically using NVivo. The results of the first stage of the study identified nine motivations for students to memorize the Quran. These findings became the basis for the author to conduct the second stage of research using a quantitative approach. The nine motivations for memorizing the Quran were used as instruments, compiled in a Likert scale format to collect data on students’ motivations. This was done to confirm the findings in the first stage of research. In the second stage, the author involved 250 participants from a total of 1,500 students at Quranic colleges in Indonesia. The collected data were then analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software. The results of the second stage showed consistency with the first stage. This study provides an overview of students’ motivations for memorizing the Quran at Quranic higher education institutions in Indonesia and shows that there has been a shift in the motives for memorization. Further studies need to revisit the issue of motivation in the context of restoring the purity of intention or making these nine motivations a reference for future research on Quran memorization.

Abstract

Teachers have a big responsibility for keeping the learning process going at school. Whether we realize it or not, besides the tools and everything else related to teaching and achieving educational goals, it turns out that the teacher's personality is a huge factor in how well learning happens. This study aims to determine how much influence a teacher's personality has on students' character in the learning process. This study uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, which is a method of collecting data and materials related to the discussion topic and its issues from library sources, which are then analyzed using the tahlili method, a method of interpreting Quranic verses by describing the meanings contained within them. The results of the study indicate that in performing their duties, teachers have many requirements, one of which is related to the nature of teachers, namely: being authoritative, honest, responsible, fair, sociable or not arrogant, loving their work, able to discipline themselves, forgiving, always wanting to align their knowledge and improve their professional skills with the latest developments in science, and loyal to the nation and state.Teachers should not expect gratitude for their services to students. In carrying out their duties, teachers must act sincerely and selflessly, seeking only the approval of Allah. This implies that a teacher's personality is not merely a teaching style but a foundational element that significantly influences the internalization of values, character development, and students' emotional well-being. Therefore, it is crucial for teachers to cultivate a positive and professional personality as a role model, and schools must provide support to enable teachers to contribute maximally to students' character education.

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Curriculum in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) faces several challenges, particularly in planning, execution, and evaluation. These issues are evident in the teaching process, where components such as the ATP/Syllabus and Teaching Module/RPP are not optimally utilized, resulting in low student engagement during lessons. This study aims to identify the problems encountered in planning, implementing, and evaluating the curriculum in IRE subjects, as well as to explore teachers’ efforts to address these challenges. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this field research involved elementary school principals, IRE teachers, other subject teachers, and students as data sources. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal key issues in planning, such as difficulties in developing ATPs and teaching modules and in implementation, including ineffective use of teaching methods, media, and technology. To overcome these challenges, teachers have introduced various evaluation strategies to improve learning outcomes in elementary schools.
