Abstract

This study explores the experiences of international students from Thailand in pursuing Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia, focusing on the challenges and opportunities faced. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were obtained through observation, interviews, and case study analysis using the Cresswell (2016). The results of the study revealed that students faced major obstacles in the form of limitations in understanding the language of instruction, local cultural differences, and difficulties in understanding contextual religious terminology. Barriers to integrating technology into Islamic Education learning also exacerbated the existing challenges. However, significant opportunities also emerged, such as enriching religious knowledge through comparing theological perspectives, openness to religious interpretations, and learning experiences in an inclusive multicultural environment. In addition, limited support from peers and lecturers also helped Thai students overcome these obstacles. The contribution of these findings lies in a deeper understanding of the dynamics of religious learning in a cross-cultural context and the importance of adapting more inclusive teaching strategies. The results of this study can be a basis for educational institutions in designing learning programs that support international students, especially in overcoming linguistic, cultural, and technological challenges, in order to improve the quality of their learning experience in Indonesia.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has radically changed the way humans understand sexuality and self-identity. This research aims to analyze the impact of digital technologies-such as social media, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality-on the concept of sexuality and human nature through the perspectives of Western and Islamic philosophy. Using a comparative literature study approach, this research examines the thoughts of Western philosophers (Foucault, Baudrillard) who see sexuality as a social construction and hyperreality, as well as Islamic perspectives (Al-Ghazali, Nasr) that emphasize the concepts of fitrah, nafs, and tawhid-based sexuality ethics. The results show that digital technology creates a paradox: on the one hand it liberates sexual expression, but on the other hand it blurs the boundaries between humans and machines, causing a crisis of human meaning. Islamic philosophy offers an alternative framework by integrating the principles of spirituality and technological ethics to maintain human dignity. This research contributes to the discourse of philosophy of technology by offering a critical dialog between Western and Islamic traditions in responding to the challenges of sexuality in the digital era. The implications include the need for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates technological ethics with transcendental values.

Abstract

Background: Advances in digital technology have changed the way millennial parents instill religious education in their children. YouTube is the main platform for transmitting religious values. However, the existence of extremist and non-moderate content raises concerns about children's exposure to misunderstood, intolerant, and age-inappropriate religious beliefs. Objective: This study analyzes the role of YouTube as a medium of moderate religious education in the digital parenting practices of millennial couples in Landungsari, Pekalongan City, Indonesia. Methods: The research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and content documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman models. Results: Millennial parents actively use YouTube for moderate religious education, prioritizing content such as Nussa & Rara animations and the KABI channel, accompanied by live mentoring and limiting watch time to 30-45 minutes per session. However, YouTube's unpredictable algorithm is a major obstacle in maintaining the consistency of moderate content. Conclusion: YouTube has the potential to become a moderate religious education medium if supported by planned digital parenting. The study provides an empirical foundation for strengthening Muslim families' digital media literacy and fostering a moderate and child-friendly religious content ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to understand in depth the process of improving student activity and learning outcomes through the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in Islamic Religious Education learning in class VII A of SMPN 1 Kalinyamatan, as well as identifying the dynamics of implementing adaptive learning strategies to student needs in the context of classroom learning. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which is implemented in two cycles, including the planning stage, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects are students of class VII A of SMPN 1 Kalinyamatan. Data were collected through observation of student learning activities, learning outcome tests, interviews, documentation, and field notes. Data analysis was carried out descriptively quantitatively and qualitatively to determine changes in student activity and learning outcomes in each cycle. The results showed that in the pre-cycle stage student activity was still low with a percentage of activity of 28%, an average value of 64.12, and learning completeness of 46.87%. After the implementation of PBL in the first cycle, there was an increase in student activity to 40.6%, the average score to 70.45, and learning completion reached 56.25%, although the implementation of learning still faced obstacles in group participation and understanding of PBL stages. In the second cycle, after improvements in learning strategies through the use of video media, strengthening teacher scaffolding, simplifying LKPD, and providing rewards, student activity increased to more than 85%, the average score reached 82, and learning completion increased to 90.63%. The research findings show that the implementation of PBL can significantly improve student activity, learning outcomes, communication skills, cooperation, and courage in expressing opinions. This research contributes to providing an adaptive and contextual Problem Based Learning implementation model to improve the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning at the junior high school level.Keywords: student centered learning, Islamic education, problem-based learning, student engagement and achievemen
