Abstract

The rapid shifts in the modern educational landscape have sparked growing concern about integrating moral values and academic success in Islamic elementary schools. This study aims to investigate the extent to which religious character and self-discipline serve as significant predictors of academic excellence among students in Islamic primary education. Employing a quantitative research design with a correlational approach, data were collected from a sample of students using Likert-scale questionnaires to measure character traits and standardized academic records to evaluate performance. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the relationships among variables. The findings reveal that both religious character and self-discipline have a positive and significant impact on students' academic achievement, with self-discipline emerging as the stronger predictor. These results suggest that high levels of spiritual adherence and personal consistency foster a conducive environment for cognitive development. In conclusion, fostering moral and behavioral discipline is essential for holistic student development. Schools are encouraged to integrate character-building programs into the core curriculum to sustain long-term academic excellence.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning media at SMP Negeri 1 Sekampung and analyze its impact on learning effectiveness and student motivation. The research is driven by the urgent need for pedagogical innovation to create interactive and contextual learning experiences that align with the digital generation's characteristics. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving school principals, PAI teachers, and students. The results indicate that integrating AI platforms such as Kahoot, Quizizz, and ChatGPT significantly increases student engagement and personalizes their understanding of Islamic concepts. The implementation follows a systematic process of integrating AI into lesson plans, interactive delivery, and automated evaluation providing instant feedback. Despite benefits, challenges such as infrastructure limitations, unstable internet, and the need for enhanced teacher digital competence were identified. In conclusion, AI-based media holds transformative potential to improve PAI learning quality, provided it is supported by adequate infrastructure, teacher training, and a strong emphasis on maintaining spiritual and moral values.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low interest of students in learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SD Negeri 6 Tanjung Raya, which is reflected in the lack of active participation, attention, and involvement of students in the learning process. Amidst the development of technology and the flow of digital information, students are required to have multiliteracy skills that include reading and writing literacy, digital literacy, visual literacy, and media literacy. This study aims to analyze the role of interactive learning media-based multiliteracy in increasing student learning interest, as well as identifying its implementation and impact on learning engagement in PAI learning in elementary schools. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study type. The research subjects include the principal, PAI teachers, and students in grades IV and V. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Data validity was tested using triangulation of sources, techniques, and time, as well as member checks. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of interactive media-based multiliteracy at SD Negeri 6 Tanjung Raya has been running, although not evenly distributed. The media used include educational videos, visual presentations, digital quizzes, and learning simulations. Multiliteracies play a significant role in improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning by presenting abstract material in a more concrete and engaging manner. The use of interactive media has been shown to positively impact student learning interest, as evidenced by increased participation, enthusiasm, and courage in expressing opinions.
