Abstract

This study aims to describe the utilization of Google Scholar by students who are currently writing their theses in the Islamic Education Study Program (PAI) at UIN Raden Fatah Palembang in searching for and selecting literature for thesis writing. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving students who are writing their theses, the head of the study program, the head of thesis supervision, and Islamic Education (PAI) lecturers. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that Google Scholar has become the primary academic search tool for students, particularly in writing the literature review (Chapter II) and methodology sections of their theses. Its ease of access, wide coverage of journals, proceedings, theses, and dissertations, and user-friendly features make it highly beneficial. However, several challenges remain, including limited digital literacy, unstable internet connections, difficulties in formulating keywords, and restricted access to paid journals. Supporting factors include the availability of campus internet facilities, guidance from lecturers, and students’ motivation to complete their theses. This study contributes to illustrating the development of academic digital literacy within the context of Islamic higher education. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of training in advanced search strategies to optimize the use of Google Scholar. Future research could adopt a quantitative approach to measure the effectiveness of Google Scholar in improving thesis quality and to compare it with other academic database.

Abstract

This study examines how to increase the learning interest of seventh-grade students in studying Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqih) using the Whole Group Discussion learning method, which shows that this method is effective in increasing students’ learning interest. This study uses a quantitative approach with a one group pretest posttest design to determine the differences in students’ learning interest before and after the implementation of the Whole Group Discussion method, which includes several stages, such as planning, implementation, and evaluation. The results of this study show that there is a significant difference between student’s learning interest at the pretest, with the results of the t-test hypothesis using paired sample test obtaining a significant value of 0.02 < 0.05. Based on the testing rules, if the sig. (2-tailed) value is < 0.05, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, so it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the Whole Group Discussion learning method on students' learning interest in Fiqih subject for seventh-grade students. Thus, this study provides empirical evidence that the implementation of the Whole Group Discussion method can increase students’ learning interest in studying Fiqih, so this method can be used as an alternative to improve the quality of learning in schools. Based on the results of the research conducted by the researcher, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the Whole Group Discussion learning method on students' learning interest in Fiqih subjects for seventh-grade students, so teachers can consider this method in the learning procces to increase students, interest and engagement.
