Abstract

The quality of the Muslim generation in Indonesia remains a pressing concern, particularly due to persistent issues such as malnutrition and stunting, which adversely affect cognitive development, educational achievement, and long-term human capital. In response, the Free School Meal (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) has been introduced as a strategic policy to improve children's nutritional status and support learning outcomes. This study examines the MBG program through the lens of Islamic education and explores its contribution to enhancing the quality of the Muslim generation. Employing a qualitative, normative, and library-based research design, data were drawn from policy documents, academic literature, and relevant sources, and analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that adequate nutrition significantly enhances cognitive function, physical health, and academic performance. From an Islamic educational perspective, the notion of a high-quality generation aligns with the concept of insan kamil, emphasizing holistic development across spiritual, intellectual, moral, and physical dimensions. The MBG program reflects key Islamic values, including halal and tayyib, social responsibility, and public welfare (maslahah ‘ammah). Its effectiveness, however, depends on sustained implementation and integration with educational frameworks.

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive examination of the impact of Islamic education on vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, at Dayah Diniyyah Darussalam in West Aceh. The primary objective of this study is to explore how Islamic education functions as both a source of religious knowledge and a transformative force that empowers women and supports the development of children within the dayah environment. This research employs a qualitative, ethnographic approach. The study collects data through prolonged observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the iceberg analysis model throughout the research process, enabling the researchers to uncover observable practices and deeper structural and cultural patterns. The analytical process concludes with a synthesis phase to ensure that the conclusions accurately represent the overall findings. The results indicate that Islamic education at Dayah Diniyyah Darussalam extends beyond doctrinal instruction; it actively catalyzes social transformation by strengthening women’s capacities, increasing their participation in community life, and fostering a sense of agency. For children, Islamic education promotes balanced intellectual, emotional, moral, and spiritual growth. The study also emphasizes that Islamic education advocacy plays a crucial role in shaping future educational orientations and policy frameworks, particularly in contexts with similar socio-cultural characteristics. The implications of this research extend beyond West Aceh and offer valuable insights for education policymakers, Islamic education practitioners, and stakeholders seeking to adopt or adapt similar community-based educational models.

Abstract

The increasing availability of digital knowledge resources has not been matched by the ability of students to engage effectively with academic texts in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts. This study investigated how the use of research articles as core learning materials supported knowledge construction, enhanced critical thinking, fosters student independence, and examined the role of lecturer feedback as pedagogical scaffolding. Using a qualitative case study design, the research involved 34 second-semester students in a Sharia Economic Law program, with data collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with seven purposively selected participants. Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The findings indicated that engagement with English-language research articles facilitates progressive knowledge construction through collaborative and independent learning processes. Group work enhanced idea exchange and comprehension, while individual tasks promoted deeper reflection and autonomy. Lecturer feedback played a crucial role in guiding analytical thinking and improving students’ evaluation of academic texts. This study highlighted the importance of integrating authentic materials, structured feedback, and balanced learning approaches to strengthen ESP students’ academic literacy and higher-order thinking skills.
