Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the role of interpersonal communication and problem-solving strategies in improving the performance of foster parents in Islamic boarding schools. The main problem raised is the lack of effectiveness of foster parents due to communication barriers and internal conflict resolution. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at the Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School in the Ar Rumi area. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observations of kyai, foster parents, and students. The results of the study indicate that the pattern of interpersonal communication between kyai and foster parents takes place in the form of routine and structured two-way interactions, with kyai as the provider of direction and foster parents as the reporter. Problem solving strategies through mediation and counseling have proven effective in creating a harmonious foster atmosphere. In conclusion, good interpersonal communication and the right problem solving approach significantly improve the readiness and performance of foster parents in fostering students. This study contributes to strengthening the foster management system in the Islamic boarding school environment.

Abstract

This study explores the use of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in religious education at the senior high school level, aiming to enhance students' collaboration skills. By focusing on real-world projects, PBL fosters teamwork, critical thinking, and the application of religious principles in everyday life. A school known for its diverse student body and innovative teaching approaches, the study uses a qualitative case study design. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with teachers, students, and administrators, along with direct classroom observations. The results indicate that PBL significantly improved students' collaboration abilities, including communication, responsibility-sharing, and conflict resolution. However, challenges such as time constraints and students’ difficulty in linking abstract religious concepts to practical projects were noted. Teachers used strategies like rotating leadership roles, reflection discussions, and managing group dynamics to facilitate learning. Despite the success, the study highlights the need for teacher training and curriculum adjustments to overcome the limitations of time and address the unique challenges of applying PBL in religious education. Overall, PBL proves to be an effective approach to increasing student engagement and understanding, though its implementation methods require refinement to suit religious content.
