Abstract

Purpose of the study: The digital era demands Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers not only master religious content but also effectively integrate technology to enhance learning quality. This study aims to explore how technology is incorporated into PAI teacher competency development programs under the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and to identify associated challenges and opportunities. Methodology: Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving teachers, trainers, and program officials. Thematic analysis was applied to capture experiences and patterns in technology use during training. Main Findings: Findings indicate that technology integration has positively impacted teachers’ pedagogical and digital competencies. Tools like Google Classroom and LMS platforms are increasingly used. However, challenges remain, such as limited infrastructure, uneven digital literacy, and overly theoretical training modules. Novelty/Originality of this study: The COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for digital adaptation. Yet, sustainable improvement requires more practical, needs-based training strategies, infrastructure support, and collaboration among stakeholders. A localized integration model is proposed to align digital transformation with the contextual needs of Islamic education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of the Ministry of Religion's policies on the competence of Islamic religious teachers in North Sumatra. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The research informants included Islamic religious teachers, madrasah supervisors, and officials of the local Ministry of Religion who were selected purposively. The results of the study show that the policies of the Ministry of Religion, such as certification, Teacher Professional Education (PPG), and religious moderation training, have a positive impact on improving teacher competence, especially in pedagogic and professional aspects. Teachers who participate in PPG are able to develop innovative learning methods and master teaching tools better, while certification increases motivation and well-being. In the personality and social aspects, policies encourage teachers to be role models and instill the value of tolerance. However, policy implementation is not evenly distributed, especially in rural areas that face limited facilities, access to information, and bureaucracy. This study concludes that the Ministry of Religion's policies contribute significantly to improving the competence of Islamic religious teachers, but it is necessary to have equal access and strengthen infrastructure to be more optimal.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of training and certification in improving the competence of Islamic teachers, both from pedagogic, professional, and work attitude aspects. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of Islamic teachers who have participated in training and certification under the guidance of the Ministry of Religion. The results of the study show that training plays an important role in improving teachers' ability to design learning, master teaching materials, and utilize digital technology in the teaching and learning process. Meanwhile, certification provides professional recognition that encourages a teacher's motivation, responsibility, and commitment to their profession. The two programs complement each other in forming Islamic teachers who are competent and adaptive to educational changes. However, several obstacles were found such as time limitations, inequality of access to training, and lack of post-training assistance. Therefore, a training and certification policy that is sustainable, needs-based, and oriented towards improving the quality of learning is needed.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the importance of innovative learning media in improving students’ learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education. Learning processes that are still predominantly based on conventional methods often limit students’ active engagement, resulting in suboptimal learning achievement. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of Canva-based learning media on the learning outcomes of eleventh-grade students at Broadcasting Bina Creative (BBC) Vocational High School, Medan. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The population consisted of all eleventh-grade students, while the sample comprised 30 students selected using a predetermined sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation and were analyzed using validity, reliability, classical assumption, t-test, and coefficient of determination analyses with the assistance of IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The findings revealed that Canva-based learning media had a positive and significant effect on students’ learning outcomes, as indicated by a t-test significance value of 0.008 (< 0.05). Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R Square) value of 0.585 indicated that Canva contributed 58.5% to the improvement of students’ learning outcomes, while the remaining 41.5% was influenced by other factors. These findings confirm that Canva is an effective digital learning medium for enhancing the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning.
