Abstract

Background: Character education is a foundational aspect of Islamic education, particularly at the primary level, where students begin to internalize moral and social values. In Indonesia, boarding-based madrasah institutions offer a unique environment for character formation due to their immersive and socially intensive settings. This study aims to explore the extent to which character-building strategies based on the sociology of education contribute to the character development of sixth-grade students at MIN 1 Banyumas, a state Islamic elementary school with a residential program. The theoretical framework draws from sociological theories emphasizing the role of structured social environments in shaping individual behavior and identity. The strategies examined in this study include daily habituation practices, exemplary modeling by educators and caregivers, value-based communication, and intentional peer interaction designed to reinforce shared norms and ethics. Methods: This research employs a quantitative associative design involving total sampling of all students living in the school’s dormitory. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had undergone tests for validity and reliability. The data were then analyzed using simple linear regression to determine the relationship between character-building strategies and character outcomes. Findings: The results reveal a statistically significant influence, with a p-value of 0.045 and an R-squared value of 0.136. These findings suggest that 13.6 percent of the variance in character development can be attributed to the implemented strategies. Conclusion: The study concludes that character formation in Islamic boarding environments benefits significantly from structured, socially embedded educational strategies. Novelty/Originality of this article: It calls for the institutionalization of sociologically grounded approaches to character education that are sensitive to students’ daily interactions, cultural context, and moral experiences.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze religious enthusiasm that does not continue after the primary school period is over and instead shows contrasting situations. Urban Muslims in Purwokerto, Indonesia, show high religious enthusiasm when choosing primary schools for their children. The number of public elementary school students has declined in the last five years, while Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah has increased dramatically. This research is field-type with data sources from urban Muslims who choose Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah as a primary school choice for their children. The data were analyzed qualitatively using a sociological approach. The study found that the religious enthusiasm of urban Muslims is pragmatic. Their pragmatic nature is shown by the resistance of different social groups that give rise to covert conflicts. In addition, they form new communities that actively represent them in public spaces. This finding has implications for a change in the perspective of the phenomenon of religious enthusiasm from theological awareness to a new trend of community-based urban Muslim pragmatism. Further research recommended the representation of the new identity of Muslim communities in virtual public spaces. Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis antusiasme keagamaan orang tua yang tidak berlanjut pada jenjang pendidikan setelah Sekolah Dasar dan justru menunjukkan situasi yang kontras. Muslim perkotaan di Purwokerto, Indonesia, menunjukkan antusiasme agama yang tinggi dalam memilih Sekolah Dasar untuk anak-anak mereka. Jumlah siswa Sekolah Dasar Negeri mengalami penurunan dalam lima tahun terakhir, sebaliknya Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah meningkat secara drastis.. Penelitian ini berjenis lapangan dengan sumber data dari kelompok muslim perkotaan yang memilih Madrasah Ibtida'iyyah sebagai pilihan sekolah dasar untuk anak-anak mereka. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan sosiologis. Studi ini menemukan bahwa antusiasme keagamaan muslim perkotaan bersifat pragmatis. Sifat pragmatis mereka ditunjukkan melalui perlawanan dan menimbulkan konflik terselubung. Selain itu, mereka membentuk komunitas baru yang secara aktif merepresentasikannya di ruang publik. Temuan ini berimplikasi pada perubahan perspektif fenomena antusiasme keagamaan dari kesadaran teologis ke kecenderungan baru pragmatisme. Penelitian lebih lanjut merekomendasikan representasi identitas baru komunitas muslim di ruang publik virtual.

Abstract

The study examines the relationship between understanding mathematical concepts and mathematical values among prospective teachers at a state university in Central Java. The research employed a qualitative approach with content analysis, involving a mathematical concept understanding test and in-depth interviews with students at high, medium, and low ability levels. The results show that students with high ability tend to possess strong mathematical values like accuracy, perseverance, and curiosity, which enable them to grasp complex mathematical concepts. In contrast, students with low ability struggle to comprehend basic mathematical concepts and often rely on rote calculation and formula use. The findings suggest that differentiated learning strategies are necessary to cater to the diverse levels of mathematical concept understanding among prospective teachers. Enhancing mathematical values can be a key factor in improving conceptual understanding in mathematics education.

Abstract

This research was conducted to develop and produce Islamic context-based mathematic learning material. The presentation of Islamic context for pre-service mathematics teachers was intended to facilitate conceptual understanding. This learning material contains rank and root, ratio and scale, and material for flat shapes and spatial shapes. The material is included in the Mathematics Materials Study course for Junior Secondary Education in the Mathematics Teacher Education program. The method in this study uses design research with the type of development study with a qualitative approach. The research phases include the preliminary research phase, the development or prototyping phase, and the assessment phase. The data were collected by filling out a learning material scoring scale by Education and Language expert and an Islamic Study expert. The quality criteria for learning material have valid results if the experts score it with excellent and valid categories. Thus, they do not need significant revision. Based on the research results, the quality of Islamic context-based mathematics learning material is classified into valid criteria at a percentage of 84% according to Mathematics Education experts and a percentage of 83.3% according to Education and Language experts and classified as an excellent category at a percentage of 94% according to Islamic Study expert. Based on these results, the product of Islamic contextual mathematics teaching materials is suitable for use in mathematics lectures.
