Abstract

This study aims to explore students' views on blended learning in developing reading skills, identifying perceived pros and cons. The study employed a qualitative research design using a constructivist approach for data collection and coding for analysis. Four students from an Islamic educational institution in Jambi participated, chosen for their diverse backgrounds to gain a comprehensive perspective. Semi-structured interviews focused on how blended learning affected their reading comprehension. The findings show that blended learning, which combines online and face-to-face teaching, offers benefits such as flexibility, access to materials at any time, and increased self-directed learning. However, students also reported limitations, including technical issues, lack of interpersonal interaction, and challenges in maintaining motivation. This study concludes that while blended learning has the potential to improve independent learning and reading skills, effective implementation is needed to overcome existing barriers and improve learning outcomes in higher education.

Abstract

This study investigates an English lecturer’s perceptions of digital media integration in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at a rural Islamic institute in Jambi, Indonesia. Using a qualitative single-case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with one lecturer at Institut Agama Islam Negeri Kerinci. Thematic analysis revealed six key themes: digital media is perceived as beneficial for increasing student engagement, tools are selected strategically based on language skills, and digital integration is hindered by limited infrastructure and institutional support. Despite these barriers, the lecturer demonstrated strong professional agency by using offline alternatives, engaging in training, and adapting technology to student needs. Platforms such as YouTube, Google Classroom, and Quizizz were commonly used to support listening, grammar, and classroom management. While digital tools enhanced learner autonomy and motivation, challenges remained in curriculum flexibility and equitable access. Digital integration success in TEFL not only requires good infrastructure but also institutional support and empowering the lecturer. In brief, this study offers valuable insights for future research to examine how digital media are utilized in TEFL classes, especially in rural areas.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Sufism as a pre-institutional Islamic education system in Kerinci, Sumatra, during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The main problem addressed is the historiographical tendency to focus on formal institutions such as pesantren and madrasah in coastal regions, while overlooking non-formal educational practices in peripheral highland areas like Kerinci. The research aims to investigate how Sufi tradition functioned as a systematic educational mechanism before the emergence of formal institutions in the mid-20th century. Employing a qualitative historical and philosophical approach, the study integrates three data collection techniques: philological analysis of twelve Arabic and Jawi manuscripts, in-depth semi-structured interviews with senior Islamic teachers and manuscript heirs, and documentary research on Dutch colonial records and local genealogies. Data analysis involved thematic coding, narrative construction, philosophical interpretation of Sufi concepts, and methodological triangulation to reconstruct the educational system. The findings demonstrate that Sufism, through zawiyah, majlis dzikir, ṭarīqah, and local manuscripts such as the Tarekat Manuscript (EAP117/21/1/1) and the Falakiyah Manuscript, effectively transmitted Islamic knowledge and values. These practices taught tawḥīd (monotheism), adab (ethics), and riyāḍah (spiritual discipline) via recitation, imitation, and spiritual apprenticeship. Philosophically, Sufi education emphasized tazkiyat al-nafs (soul purification) and holistic character formation. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the plural trajectories of Islamic education in Indonesia. It highlights Sufism’s significant role in shaping the spiritual foundation, cultural identity, and Islamization process in Kerinci, while offering a model of flexible, relational, and contextually rooted pedagogy. The findings carry important implications for contemporary Islamic education by suggesting the integration of Sufi principles into modern systems, particularly in rural and peripheral communities.
