Abstract

This research is motivated by the frequent occurrence of children committing acts such as bullying, violence, and a lack of politeness and courtesy. Among the factors causing this is that the teacher's strategy in teaching religion and morals is not in accordance with the learning objectives. This study aims to determine the teacher's strategy for teaching religious and moral values to children aged 4-6 years. The research approach used a qualitative approach through the case study method. The data source for this research is Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers at Kober Raudhotul Jannah Cicalengka and RA Arraudotunnur Garut Regency, with as many as five informants. Data analysis techniques have three main steps: data reduction, data display, and verification. The results concluded that teachers do not fully understand the learning objectives of religion and morals at the PAUD level. Teachers use a variety of methods in accordance with predetermined learning objectives. The methods used by teachers include habituation methods, exemplary singing, role-playing, and tourism work

Abstract

This study aimed to examine students' perceptions of Islamic Education teachers' exemplary behaviour (Uswah Hasanah) and its influence on students' moral and behavioural tendencies in a vocational school context. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 106 students of SMK As Sulaimaniyyah, Cianjur, Indonesia, through a structured questionnaire developed based on Islamic pedagogical frameworks and ethical teacher behaviour indicators. The instrument demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.87). Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS version 2.5, including mean scores, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. The results revealed that students' overall perceptions of their teachers' exemplary behaviour were very high (M = 4.61), with the indicator of teachers’ influence on students obtaining the highest mean (M = 4.83), followed by religious devotion, patience, humility, and discipline. At the same time, asceticism was rated as the lowest (M = 4.17). Significant differences were found based on gender (t = 2.97, p < 0.05), frequency of interaction (F = 3.41, p < 0.05), and academic achievement (F = 2.103, p < 0.05). These findings affirm that teacher exemplarity plays a critical role in shaping students’ moral awareness and conduct, particularly in vocational schools where religious exposure is limited. The study recommends integrating continuous professional development and reflective ethical training for Islamic Education teachers to strengthen their role as moral exemplars in the digital era.

Abstract

Motivasi mengajar merupakan faktor penting yang menentukan kualitas proses pembelajaran di Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD). Sertifikasi guru dipandang sebagai salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk meningkatkan kompetensi dan motivasi kerja pendidik, namun efektivitasnya masih perlu dikaji lebih lanjut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan motivasi mengajar guru PAUD bersertifikasi dan nonbersertifikasi di Kecamatan Ujung Berung, Bandung. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif komparatif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 60 guru PAUD yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling, masing-masing 30 guru bersertifikasi dan 30 guru nonbersertifikasi. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner skala Likert yang mencakup aspek motivasi intrinsik dan ekstrinsik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum motivasi mengajar guru PAUD berada pada kategori tinggi, namun terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara guru bersertifikasi dan nonbersertifikasi. Guru bersertifikasi cenderung memiliki motivasi ekstrinsik lebih tinggi yang dipengaruhi oleh tunjangan profesi, sedangkan guru nonbersertifikasi lebih menonjol pada motivasi intrinsik berupa semangat pengabdian dan kepedulian terhadap perkembangan anak. Kesimpulannya, sertifikasi berkontribusi positif terhadap peningkatan motivasi mengajar, terutama pada aspek ekstrinsik, namun motivasi intrinsik tetap menjadi landasan utama bagi guru PAUD dalam menjalankan tugasnya.

Abstract

The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program is a national initiative aimed at aligning higher education outcomes with workforce demands. However, at Universitas Islam Nusantara, student participation in MBKM remains low. This study investigates the perceptions, interest, and readiness of students—factors that may influence their engagement in the program. This study employed a quantitative survey design using a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 207 students from three study programs within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education. The sample was determined using the Isaac and Michael formula with a 1% error margin. Data were analyzed descriptively. Findings indicate that students’ perceptions of the MBKM program are varied and lack a dominant consensus. While 54.11% of respondents viewed the program as "very useful," only 21.26% considered it "very important" for future employment. Additionally, student knowledge about MBKM is limited, with only 0.97% claiming full awareness of the program. Interest was highest in internship (44.93%), student exchange (41.06%), and teaching assistantship (40.10%) activities. Overall, 63.77% of students expressed a strong interest in MBKM, yet only 31.40% felt ready to participate. The study highlights a gap between student interest and readiness, potentially due to limited socialization and understanding of the program. Enhanced communication strategies and institutional support are recommended to increase student engagement in MBKM.

Abstract

Student participation remains a key challenge in blended learning (BL), particularly in the Faculty of Islamic Religion and Teacher Training and Education. Understanding students’ perceptions is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of BL and identify areas for enhancement. This study employed a quantitative, non-experimental survey design. Data were collected from 238 students at Universitas Islam Nusantara through an online questionnaire. Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the data and calculate mean scores across various dimensions of students’ perceptions. The findings indicate that students generally perceive blended learning positively, with an overall mean score of 3.45 on a 4-point scale. Flexibility was viewed favorably, while convenience received a moderate rating (mean score: 3.1). Students also reported high levels of ICT literacy, averaging 3.6. Despite these positive aspects, a notable proportion of students still preferred face-to-face learning, citing it as more effective and easier for active participation. The results suggest that while blended learning enhances flexibility and supports digital skill development, concerns about convenience and engagement persist. These findings highlight the need for improved instructional design and better support systems within BL environments. Blended learning is perceived as effective and beneficial, particularly in developing ICT literacy. However, to increase student participation and overall satisfaction, institutions should focus on improving the usability and interactivity of blended platforms, as well as providing targeted support to address learner preferences and challenges.

Abstract

The transition from early childhood education to primary school remains a critical yet underexamined phase, particularly in contexts where school readiness is narrowly defined in academic terms. Despite increasing attention to early childhood education, limited research has explored how teacher strategies and parental involvement jointly shape children’s transition. This study aims to examine the strategies employed by PAUD teachers and the role of parental involvement in supporting children’s transition to primary school in West Java. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 132 teachers and 182 parents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Kruskal–Wallis H test. Findings indicate that teachers predominantly implement classroom-based strategies focused on pre-literacy, numeracy, behavioral regulation, and independence. However, these practices are more strongly influenced by parental expectations for early academic achievement than by child-centered pedagogical approaches. Collaboration between early childhood and primary school teachers remains limited, contributing to a fragmented understanding of school readiness. Parental involvement is largely home-based, with relatively low participation in school-based programs. These findings highlight the need for structured institutional collaboration and more balanced approaches to school readiness that integrate academic and developmental dimensions to support children’s holistic transition.

Abstract

This study investigates Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers’ understanding and practice of inclusive curriculum implementation, and examines the role of training and collaboration in enhancing teacher competence. Employing a concurrent triangulation mixed-method design, quantitative and qualitative data were collected through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. Simple random sampling was used for the survey, while purposive sampling identified key informants with direct experience in inclusive practices. The findings indicate that teachers demonstrate a relatively good conceptual understanding of inclusive principles, particularly in recognizing children’s diversity, applying child-centered approaches, and valuing collaboration with parents and support staff. However, a significant gap persists between conceptual understanding and classroom practice, especially in adaptive lesson planning and differentiated instruction. Continuous professional training contributes positively to improving pedagogical competence, although institutional support and professional supervision remain limited. Collaboration among teachers, parents, and support staff is identified as a critical factor in fostering inclusive learning environments. Despite growing attention to inclusive education, prior studies have largely focused on teachers’ perceptions rather than examining how such understanding is enacted in practice, particularly through the combined influence of training and collaborative support. This study highlights the need for sustained, reflective, practice-based training and strengthened professional partnerships to ensure effective, sustainable, inclusive curriculum implementation in ECE contexts.

Abstract

Arabic language acquisition in boarding schools exhibits distinctive dynamics shaped by immersive environments, institutional policies, and social interaction. Previous studies have primarily examined these factors separately, resulting in a limited integrative understanding. This study explores patterns of Arabic acquisition through the interrelationship between environmental design, motivational mechanisms, and social interaction in three Islamic boarding senior high schools in West Java. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, participants were purposively selected from schools implementing Arabic programs. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and analysed using Moustakas’ thematic procedures. The findings reveal three acquisition models. SMA Asy-Syifa represents a classical, fragmented model emphasising grammatical mastery with minimal communicative exposure. FIBBIS High School applies an immersion–regulatory model through language zones and sanctions, increasing exposure but also generating anxiety and silence strategies. In contrast, Yaspida High School implements an integrative ecosystem model that combines a structured language environment, positive incentives, and layered peer support, effectively reducing affective barriers and fostering authentic communicative competence.
