Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which digital media use and the school environment predict students’ learning interest in Islamic Education. Amid the rapid expansion of technology-supported learning, understanding how digital media and school contexts shape student engagement has become increasingly important, particularly in faith-based education. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire administered to all 103 students of Integrated Islamic junior high school (SMP IT Permata Probolinggo, Indonesia) through saturated sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to examine both partial and simultaneous effects. The findings indicate that digital learning media (p = 0.003; t = 3.018) and the school environment (p = 0.005; t = 2.873) each have a significant positive effect on students’ learning interest. Simultaneously, both variables significantly predict learning interest (p = 0.000), with an R² value of 0.660, indicating that 66% of the variance in learning interest is explained by the two predictors. These results provide empirical evidence that the integration of interactive digital media and a supportive school environment plays a crucial role in enhancing students’ engagement in Islamic Education. This study contributes to the literature on digital learning in faith-based schools by offering quantitative evidence from Indonesia’s Integrated Islamic School context and highlights the importance of optimizing technology use alongside conducive learning environment.

Abstract

It is agreed among mental health experts that Religiosity or issues relating to the human spirit has a role in fostering overall health. This study aimed to investigate the monastic experiences in fostering mental wellbeing and thoroughly explore the Monastic experiences in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. A case study design was employed to achieve the objectives of the study. Purposive samples of nine monks/nuns were interviewed to generate conclusions. The generated findings suggest Monks/nuns in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) monasteries devote their time to undistracted prayer, meditation, obedience and fasting, which in turn supports and/or correlates with mental wellness and positive psychological conceptions. Mindfulness in the monasteries appears to be the solution, which is usually being practiced in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Monasteries. Mindfulness-oriented therapy in Psychology is getting attention towards its role regarding holistic aspect of health. It is recommended that an updating of training programs for psychotherapists, including the monastic experiences either in formal instructional curriculum or short-term training programs that play its part in achieving the new paradigm in mental health sector. This research hoped to create an insight and courage to look for the faith-based healing practices in order to develop enabling policy framework to promote mental health.
