Abstract

Purpose of the study: Developing students' Islamic character is one of the primary objectives of religious-based education, yet religious habituation programs frequently struggle with implementation and consistency. This study examines the implementation of the religious habituation program at Nurul Hikmah Islamic Junior High School and its function in fostering students' Islamic character. Methodology: The principal, homeroom teachers, Islamic education teachers, and a few chosen students served as informants in this descriptive qualitative study. Miles and Huberman's interactive approach, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, was used to examine the data gathered through documentation, in-depth interviews, and observation. Triangulation of sources and methods was used to guarantee the veracity of the data. Main Findings: The results demonstrate that organised practices, such as communal Dhuha prayer, Qur'anic recitation, group prayers, and disciplinary training, are used to practice religious habituation. These activities effectively uphold religious principles and aid in developing students' character. Limited facilities, the' lack of discipline among confident pupils, and differing parental support are among the difficulties. The school's institutional dedication, an intense religious atmosphere, and faculty involvement are all supporting aspects. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study concludes that Islamic character is effectively shaped by religious habituation. It is innovative in that it maps the characteristics that facilitate and hinder the boarding school setting and provides a contextual approach to enhancing religious culture in Islamic secondary schools.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Fiqh instruction in Islamic schools (madrasah) continues to face several difficulties, chief among them students' inadequate understanding of the ideas and rituals of worship due to traditional, memorization-focused teaching methods. The purpose of this study is to describe how students at the Riyadlus Sholihin Elementary Madrasah have improved their comprehension of the fiqh subject through innovative learning based on the Fiqhul Wadih book. Methodology: This study included a case study and a qualitative methodology. Key informants, including the madrasah principal, curriculum administrators, teachers, and students, were observed, interviewed in depth, and documented. Data reduction, data display, and conclusion drafting were the methods used for data analysis. Triangulating sources and methods enabled testing their validity. Main Findings: The findings demonstrated that applying learning based on Fiqhul Wadih greatly enhanced students' comprehension in both cognitive and worship-related domains. Students showed enhanced reasoning regarding fiqh concepts, practiced proper ablution and prayer techniques, and were better able to explain fiqh principles methodically. Additionally, through conversations, Q&A sessions, and practical experience, this learning increased student engagement and active participation. The conversation demonstrates how the book's methodical, communicative qualities, which are reinforced by interactive teaching strategies, contributed to its success. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study's findings support the effectiveness of Fiqhul Wadih-based instruction in raising students' knowledge of Islamic law. In terms of curriculum development, teacher learning methodologies, and raising the standard of Islamic education in madrasas, this research offers an alternate paradigm for learning Islamic law.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the role of tahfidz extracurricular activities as a model for religious character education in Islamic elementary schools, focusing on the transformation from memorization to internalization. Methodology: This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design conducted at MI Nurul Rahman Bondowoso. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. Main Findings: The findings reveal that structured and repetitive tahfidz activities contribute significantly to the development of students’ discipline, spiritual habits, and religious character. The internalization of values occurs gradually through memorization, repetition, habituation, and teacher modeling. The triangulation results indicate that structured activities, spirituality by repetition, and values by teacher modeling shape discipline. However, the internalization process varies among students, indicating certain limitations in achieving optimal outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a conceptual contribution by positioning tahfidz extracurricular activities not merely as a memorization practice but as a systematic model for transforming memorization into internalized religious values. It highlights the “memorizing to internalizing” framework as a distinctive approach to religious character education in Islamic elementary schools.

Abstract

Background. The rapid digital transformation in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 requires Islamic Religious Education (IRE) to adopt innovative approaches to improve learning quality and student achievement. However, prior studies predominantly focus on general digitalization or higher education contexts, with limited empirical evidence on context-specific strategies at the elementary madrasah level. This study addresses this gap by offering a contextual and practice-based analysis of IRE digitalization. Purpose. This study aims to analyze digitalization strategies in improving learning quality and student achievement at MI Al-Islamiyah, including implementation processes, supporting and inhibiting factors, and their educational impact. Method. This study employed a qualitative case study design to obtain in-depth and contextual insights. Participants—including the principal, deputy head of curriculum, IRE teachers, operators, and parents—were purposively selected for their direct involvement in the implementation of digital learning to ensure data relevance and credibility. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Data validity was strengthened through triangulation, member checking, and audit trails. Results. The findings reveal that digitalization is systematically implemented through institutional policies, teacher capacity building, and integrated digital systems. The use of interactive media, RDM-based assessment, and digital administration increases student participation, motivation, and learning interaction, while enhancing transparency and organization of assessment. Evidence shows more active engagement and structured learning processes, although improvements in academic achievement remain gradual due to infrastructure and competency constraints. Conclusion. Digitalization serves as a strategic catalyst for improving learning quality, thereby mediating student achievement. This study contributes theoretically by proposing a contextual model of IRE digitalization at the elementary madrasah level and practically by guiding sustainable implementation through institutional support, continuous teacher training, and adaptive strategies in Islamic education.

Abstract

Self-help skills are important skills that must be possessed by children with disabilities to be able to live their daily lives independently. However, children with disabilities often experience difficulties in learning self-help skills because their characteristics are different from normal children. One of the efforts to improve self-help skills in children with disabilities is to apply the learning by games method. The learning by games method is a learning method that uses games as a learning medium. Games can make learning more fun and interesting for children with disabilities. In addition, games can also help children with disabilities to develop motor, cognitive, and social-emotional skills, which are needed to improve self-help skills.This study aims to examine the effectiveness of applying the learning by games method to improve self-help skills in students with disabilities. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative case study type. The data collection technique used is observation and documentation of SLBN Demung Besuki Situbondo directly, which begins with a general view of the interview data, and documentation while in the field. From this research, it is known that students with tunagrahita become easier to master the material without feeling depressed and bored because they use photo and video educational games, guest picture educational games, and puzzle educational games in improving self-help skills to make it easier for students with tunagrahita to take care of themselves in the form of thaharah / washing activities. As for its application, it requires teacher creativity in developing methods (photos and videos, guest pictures, puzzles, etc.) that are in accordance with the learning material so that students can more easily master and remember the material and feel happy and not burdened in learning.
