Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam/PAI) learning in strengthening students’ religious moderation at SMP Islam Terpadu Bangkinang. Religious moderation is conceptualized as a religious attitude that emphasizes balance, tolerance, justice, and respect for diversity, which are essential values in maintaining social harmony within pluralistic societies. In the Indonesian educational context, Islamic Religious Education plays a strategic role not only in developing students’ religious knowledge but also in shaping moderate religious attitudes that prevent intolerance and extremism. Therefore, systematic evaluation of PAI learning is crucial to ensure that religious moderation values are effectively internalized by students. This study employs a qualitative approach with an evaluative research design to comprehensively examine how religious moderation values are integrated into PAI learning. The evaluation focuses on three main aspects: learning planning, learning implementation, and learning evaluation. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers and students, and documentation analysis of learning instruments such as lesson plans, syllabi, and assessment tools. These data collection techniques were employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of instructional practices, teacher–student interactions, and assessment strategies related to the cultivation of religious moderation values. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing to ensure systematic and credible findings. The findings reveal that PAI learning at SMP Islam Terpadu Bangkinang has integrated religious moderation values into learning objectives and instructional planning. Teachers explicitly formulate learning goals that emphasize tolerance, balance, and mutual respect, while learning materials are contextualized to students’ social realities. During the learning implementation stage, teachers apply dialogical and participatory teaching methods, such as discussions and case-based learning, to encourage students to critically reflect on religious issues and social diversity. These approaches provide students with opportunities to understand differing perspectives and develop moderate religious attitudes in a reflective and respectful manner. However, the study also identifies several challenges in the implementation of religious moderation-based learning. The use of contextual and innovative instructional methods remains limited, and learning activities tend to rely on conventional approaches. Moreover, the evaluation of religious moderation attitudes has not yet been conducted systematically. Assessment instruments primarily focus on cognitive achievement, while affective and attitudinal dimensions—such as tolerance, openness, and balanced religious behavior—are not comprehensively measured using structured indicators or rubrics. This limitation affects the accuracy of evaluating students’ overall development of religious moderation. This study concludes that continuous and systematic evaluation of Islamic Religious Education learning is essential to enhance the effectiveness of strengthening religious moderation among students. The development of more comprehensive, contextual, and sustainable assessment instruments is necessary to holistically measure students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions. In addition, the adoption of more dynamic and participatory instructional strategies is recommended to support deeper internalization of religious moderation values. The findings of this study contribute to the discourse on Islamic education and religious moderation by providing empirical insights into evaluative practices at the secondary school level and offering practical implications for improving PAI learning in pluralistic educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by tahfidz teachers to enhance the quality of students’ Qur’an memorization at SMP Islam Plus Al-Fatih. The research adopts a qualitative approach to explore, in depth, the teaching strategies, learning processes, and supporting factors that influence memorization quality. The findings reveal that the strategies implemented by tahfidz teachers are structured, varied, and oriented toward achieving comprehensive memorization quality, including accuracy of recitation, fluency, and retention. The instructional process involves the application of tajwid and tartil methods to ensure correct pronunciation, as well as consistent repetition (muroja’ah) to strengthen memory retention. In addition, teachers play a crucial role as both motivators and facilitators by fostering students’ intrinsic motivation, promoting character education, and utilizing digital Qur’an applications as learning media. These approaches contribute to increased student engagement, discipline, and consistency in memorization. Furthermore, periodic memorization assessments are conducted to monitor and improve students’ memorization quality. These assessments function not only as evaluative tools but also as feedback mechanisms that support continuous improvement. Overall, the study concludes that effective tahfidz learning is achieved through the integration of structured instructional strategies, motivational support, and continuous evaluation. This synergy serves as a key factor in enhancing the quality of students’ Qur’an memorization

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to explore the phenomenon of declining moral values among students at Muhammadiyah 06 Junior High School in Medan through the perspective of Islamic education. The investigation addresses the pressing issue arising from globalization and rapid technological advancement, which introduce external values that often conflict with local cultural and religious principles. In this context, adolescents in the formative stage of identity development become particularly susceptible to behaviors that deviate from moral and ethical norms. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive-analytical approach was employed. The subjects consisted of students, teachers, homeroom teachers, and the principal, all directly involved in the learning process and behavior supervision. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, including school rules and student violation records. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model of reduction, presentation, and conclusion, with validity ensured through source and method triangulation. Main Findings: The study identified two major findings. First, moral decline is evident in disrespect toward teachers, increased bullying, academic dishonesty, and misuse of social media, which reflects Durkheim’s concept of anomie. Second, Islamic education functions as a moral bulwark through congregational prayer, Qur’anic recitation, moral lessons, and teacher role modeling. These practices enhance students’ self-control and spiritual awareness, supported by QS. Al-‘Ankabut (29:45). Novelty/Originality of this study: The study demonstrates that synergy between religious education, teacher exemplarity, and parental involvement is an effective model for preventing adolescent moral decline while strengthening Islamic identity in the era of globalization.

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

This study aims to analyze calligraphy learning strategies in fostering students’ creativity and strengthening their love for the Qur'an at Daarul Hikmah Islamic Boarding School. This research is important because studies specifically examining the integration of calligraphy learning with the development of creativity and students’ emotional attachment to the Qur'an in Islamic boarding schools remain limited. This study employed a qualitative approach using a field research method. Data were collected through observations, interviews with the principal, calligraphy teachers, and students, as well as documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the calligraphy learning strategy was implemented through three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, teachers prepared the curriculum, annual programs, weekly programs, and syllabus adapted to the boarding school context. In the implementation stage, teachers applied demonstration methods combined with lectures, direct practice, projector-based learning media, and assistance from teaching assistants to support students’ understanding. The evaluation stage was conducted through daily assessments, weekly tests, and final examinations for each khat style. The findings also show improvements in students’ creativity, particularly in originality of design, neatness of writing, accuracy of letter structure, and students’ confidence in producing calligraphic works. In addition, students demonstrated increased enthusiasm for reading, memorizing, and appreciating verses of the Qur'an through calligraphy activities. These findings imply that structured calligraphy learning can contribute to the development of artistic skills and support Qur'anic appreciation among students in Islamic boarding schools.
