Abstract

This research examines the implementation of Computerized Adaptive Testing based on ACTFL standards at Universitas Darussalam Gontor (UNIDA). In the midst of the increasing adoption of global language assessment standards. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing thematic analysis. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with university leaders, quality assurance units, lecturers, system developers, and students. The results show that CAT-ACTFL not only functions as an instrument for measuring language proficiency, but also becomes an important part of academic governance, curriculum management, and the strengthening of data-based quality assurance systems. Its implementation reflects a strategic alignment between global assessment standards and UNIDA's institutional vision framework, positioning Arabic as a pillar of academic policy and learning planning. This study introduces a new model of Pesantren-Aligned Language Assessment Governance as a key novelty, demonstrating that the global CAT-ACTFL standards can integrate harmoniously with the local values of pesantren. This research makes a significant contribution to educational management by transforming static quality assurance into a dynamic, data-driven system for differentiating Arabic language instruction in higher education. Nevertheless, this research also indicates the importance of further evaluation of the quality of the ACTFL instruments used. Therefore, further research is recommended to conduct validity and reliability testing and to analyze the item characteristics of the CAT-ACTFL instruments using psychometric approaches, such as Item Response Theory (IRT) and the Rasch Model, to ensure more precise and scientific measurement of language proficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a conceptual model of a digital-adaptive pesantren curriculum by synthesizing the characteristics of pesantren curricula and integrating the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) frameworks. The rapid advancement of digital technology has created significant challenges for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in maintaining their educational identity while responding to the demands of twenty-first-century education. This study employed a qualitative approach using a library research method by reviewing and synthesizing relevant national and international literature on Islamic education, curriculum development, educational technology, TPACK, and SAMR. The findings reveal that pesantren curricula have evolved from traditional (salaf) and modern models toward an integrative curriculum that combines Islamic values, scientific knowledge, digital technology, and twenty-first-century competencies. The proposed conceptual model consists of four interconnected components: (1) foundational values based on the Qur'an, Hadith, and pesantren traditions; (2) core competencies comprising religious competence, digital competence, and global competence; (3) curriculum development frameworks integrating TPACK and SAMR; and (4) expected outcomes in the form of religious, digitally literate, and adaptive graduates. The study contributes theoretically by enriching the discourse on Islamic curriculum development through an integrative framework that bridges the traditional epistemology of pesantren with contemporary digital learning theories. Practically, the proposed model provides strategic guidance for curriculum developers, educators, pesantren leaders, and policymakers in designing adaptive Islamic education that preserves pesantren values while strengthening digital literacy, ethical technology integration, and graduates' readiness to address the challenges of the digital era.

Abstract

Meaningful Islamic Education learning in elementary schools remains challenging because limited instructional time and conventional teaching methods often fail to actively engage students and improve their learning outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Powtoon learning media in enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes in Islamic Education at the elementary school level. For students’ engageme using an observation sheet consisting of five indicators: participation in problem-solving, asking questions, seeking information, participating in group discussions, and completing learning tasks. Then, learning outcomes were measured through a ten-item achievement test developed according to Bloom’s revised taxonomy, covering the cognitive levels of understanding (C2), applying (C3), analyzing (C4), and evaluating (C5). The study employed a classroom action research design based on the Kurt Lewin model, consisting of two action cycles: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 17 fifth-grade students of SDN Ngrayudan 1, Ngawi Regency, East Java. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan November 2024. Data were collected through classroom observations, documentation, and achievement tests, and analyzed descriptively by comparing student engagement and learning outcomes across the two cycles. The findings revealed substantial improvements following the implementation of Powtoon learning media. Student engagement increased from 66% in the first cycle to 88% in the second cycle, while the average learning outcome improved from 68.24 with 53% learning completeness to 85.88 with 88% learning completeness. These findings indicate that Powtoon effectively promotes active participation and enhances students' understanding of Islamic Education through engaging visual and audio-based learning experiences. However, the study was limited by its small sample size, single-school setting, and classroom action research design, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings. Future research is recommended to involve larger and more diverse samples, apply experimental research designs, and investigate the long-term effects of Powtoon on students' academic achievement, character development, and the internalization of Islamic values.

Abstract

Through activities in the Student Shop Cooperation Section of the Modern Islamic Boarding School Student Organization (OPPM) of Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Putri 1, this study seeks to examine how female students develop independent character. This study employs a descriptive design and a qualitative methodology. Participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation studies were used to gather data from research subjects, which included administrators, Cooperation advisers, and student shop Cooperation members. Throughout the phases of data condensation, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification, data analysis was done interactively. The study's findings show that an organized student management pattern, which includes organizing, planning, carrying out, and assessing Cooperation activities, helps female students develop independent character. The development of emotional, financial, intellectual, and social independence is facilitated by female students' participation in Cooperation management. The Islamic boarding school's student shop Cooperation serves as both an economic entity and a vehicle for character education grounded in ongoing habituation and real-world experiences. According to the study's findings, integrating student management with Cooperation learning activities is a successful tactic for helping female students develop independent personalities. The results of this study are anticipated to have both practical consequences for the administration of student organizations centered on character formation and theoretical contributions to the advancement of character education studies in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

The development of twenty-first-century skills has become a major priority in education, requiring learning approaches that integrate critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration (4Cs). Within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), these competencies need to be developed while preserving Islamic educational values. This study aimed to describe the implementation of the El-Thoria Art Exhibition based on Experiential Learning, examine its contribution to the development of santri's 21st-century skills, and identify the Islamic values reflected throughout the program. A descriptive qualitative field study was conducted at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Putri Campus 1 involving 29 purposively selected informants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that the El-Thoria Art Exhibition was implemented through the stages of Kolb's Experiential Learning cycle, providing authentic learning experiences in planning, artwork production, exhibition management, presentation, and reflection. These activities illustrated the development of critical thinking through collaborative problem-solving and decision-making, creativity through artwork design and innovation, communication through presentations and interactions with visitors, and collaboration through teamwork and shared responsibilities. The findings also revealed the internalization of Islamic values, including amanah (trustworthiness), responsibility, discipline, ta'awun (mutual cooperation), and leadership during the exhibition process. These findings suggest that the El-Thoria Art Exhibition represents an experiential learning practice that integrates the development of 21st-century skills with Islamic character education within the context of pesantren.

Abstract

The implementation of national education policies within Indonesia's plural education system faces significant challenges due to the diverse institutional characteristics of its educational institutions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of national education policies in improving equitable access and educational quality through the perspective of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as an analytical lens. The research employed a qualitative policy analysis approach using document analysis of national education regulations, government policy documents, official reports, and relevant scholarly publications. Data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis using Edwards III's policy implementation model, which emphasizes four key variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings indicate that these four variables remain relevant for explaining policy implementation. However, within the context of pesantren, policy implementation is also influenced by institutional characteristics, the leadership of kiai, distinctive funding mechanisms, coordination between the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and innovation diffusion in the policy adoption process. These findings suggest that national education policy implementation in pesantren cannot be understood using the same approach applied to formal schools. This study contributes conceptually by extending Edwards III's implementation model through the integration of pesantren institutional characteristics and innovation diffusion mechanisms as contextual factors influencing policy implementation within Indonesia's plural national education system. The findings are expected to inform the development of more adaptive education policies that accommodate institutional diversity.

Abstract

Improving students' achievement in Fiqh remains a major challenge in Islamic primary education, particularly in classrooms where teacher-centered instructional practices restrict students' active participation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Google Sites-based interactive learning media on the Fiqh learning achievement of fifth-grade students. A quantitative quasi-experimental method employing a nonequivalent control group design was adopted. The participants consisted of 48 fifth-grade students from a private Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Ngawi Regency, East Java, Indonesia, including 25 students in the experimental group and 23 students in the control group selected through total sampling. Learning achievement data were collected using pre-test and post-test instruments and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. The statistical procedures included the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene's homogeneity test, and the Mann–Whitney U test. The findings revealed that students who learned through Google Sites achieved a higher mean post-test score (79.00) than those who received conventional instruction (65.00). Furthermore, the Mann–Whitney U test yielded a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. These findings demonstrate that Google Sites-based interactive learning media effectively enhance students' Fiqh learning achievement by promoting greater engagement and improving conceptual understanding. Therefore, integrating web-based interactive media into Islamic primary education is recommended to support more effective and meaningful learning experiences
