Abstract

This study explores the challenges and strategies of teachers in madrasahs in the West Java region as they face the digitalization era in Islamic education. Utilizing a qualitative research design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 teachers to gain in-depth insights into their experiences. Thematic analysis, conducted using NVivo software, revealed key challenges such as limited digital literacy, inadequate technological resources, and resistance to change due to traditional pedagogical values. To address these challenges, teachers employed strategies like peer collaboration, informal learning networks, and professional development initiatives. The findings emphasize the need for targeted digital literacy programs, improved technological infrastructure, and cultural shifts in educational practices to support the integration of digital tools in Islamic education. These insights can inform future policies and programs aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of Islamic education in the digital age.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Islamic Microfinance, Waqf, and Zakat on poverty alleviation in Indonesia using quantitative analysis. A sample of 190 participants was surveyed using a Likert scale (1-5), and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationships between these variables. The results indicate that all three factors—Islamic Microfinance, Waqf, and Zakat—have a significant positive impact on poverty alleviation. Zakat was found to have the most substantial effect, followed by Waqf and Islamic Microfinance. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating Islamic financial tools in policy frameworks aimed at reducing poverty and promoting social welfare in Indonesia. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and Islamic financial institutions to enhance their strategies in poverty alleviation programs.
