Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze how Qur’anic literacy serves as a strategic approach to cultivating students’ religious character in private Islamic senior high schools. Specifically, it investigates the processes, methods, and educational practices through which Qur’anic literacy influences students’ moral awareness, discipline, and spiritual integrity. Religious character formation in students is viewed as a fundamental aspect of Islamic education that integrates cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an and Hadith. In the context of globalization and modern popular culture, this study addresses the challenges faced by educators in reinforcing Islamic values amid competing information flows and moral relativism. Methodology: The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Subjects were purposively selected, including the principal, vice principal for curriculum, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and students actively engaged in Qur’anic literacy activities. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. Main Findings: The results demonstrate that Qur’anic literacy is a primary instrument for shaping students’ religious character through aspects of faith, worship, and morality. Routine activities such as recitation (tadarus), memorization, and Qur’anic exegesis foster spiritual discipline, courteous behavior, and social awareness. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study highlights the role of teachers as role models, facilitators, and motivators, supported by a curriculum systematically integrating Qur’anic values across subjects. This synergy creates a religious, contextual, and sustainable educational ecosystem, shaping students into morally upright generations.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has had a significant impact on the formation of students' character, particularly in moral and spiritual aspects. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the spiritual intelligence model in shaping the noble character of students at the Miftahussalam Private Islamic Senior High School (MAS) in Medan in the digital era. The approach used was a qualitative case study. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, which were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model. The results showed that the application of spiritual intelligence values such as sincerity, patience, gratitude, and responsibility were systematically integrated through Islamic Religious Education learning, habituation of worship, and teacher role models. These values have been proven to be able to shape students' noble character as reflected in politeness, social empathy, and religious awareness. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening the spiritual dimension in Islamic education as an effective strategy to fortify students from the negative influences of the digital era. This study provides a conceptual contribution to the development of a character education model based on spiritual values in the madrasah environment.

Abstract

The transformation of national education marked by the implementation of the Independent Curriculum has placed principals in a strategic position as leaders of change. Not only as administrators, principals are required to be the driving force of curriculum innovation, particularly in the field of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) which has unique characteristics of values and spirituality. This study aims to investigate the role of the principal's transformational leadership in initiating and implementing PAI curriculum innovation at Panca Budi Middle School, Medan. A qualitative research method with a case study approach was used to explore data in depth through interview techniques, participatory observation, and documentation. The research findings show that; (1) the principal plays an active role in developing a PAI learning vision that is contextual and relevant to current developments; (2) encouraging teachers to innovate in learning methods, and creating a collaborative culture in curriculum development. The innovations carried out include the integration of Islamic values with an active learning approach; (3) Utilization of digital technology, as well as strengthening the affective dimension and character of students. Thus, transformational leadership is a key element in presenting a new face of religious education that is humanistic, transformative, and future-oriented.
