Abstract

Korean dramas (K-Dramas) are widely popular among Indonesian youth, including students of the Faculty of Islamic Studies (FAI), and are believed to influence their mindset, lifestyle, and religious behavior. This study aims to determine: (1) the level of K-Drama viewing intensity among 2021 students of the Islamic Education Program at Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang, (2) the students' religious behavior, and (3) the influence of K-Drama viewing on their religious behavior. This quantitative correlational study involved 65 students as the sample. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The results showed that the intensity of K-Drama viewing was at a moderate level (78%), and religious behavior also fell into the moderate category (72%). The regression analysis indicated a positive and significant influence of K-Drama viewing on religious behavior, with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a contribution of 52.5%. However, this influence is relatively limited compared to other contributing factors affecting religious behavior.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the limited empirical studies on the integration of spiritual (SQ), emotional (EQ), and intellectual (IQ) intelligence in the leadership of Islamic educational institutions, whereas this holistic approach is believed to have a significant impact on the formation of student character and the quality of educational policies. The purpose of this study is to describe the pattern of Islamic leadership in policy formulation, analyze the form of integration of the three intelligences in leadership style, and evaluate its impact on the character of students at the Darussalam Islamic Education Foundation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 10 informants selected purposively, consisting of foundation leaders, principals, teachers, and students. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, then analyzed thematically. The results of the study indicate that the integration of SQ, EQ, and IQ in leadership contributes significantly to the birth of humanistic, spiritual, and rational policies. These findings strengthen the theory of multiple intelligences and the theory of transformative leadership which emphasizes the synergy of cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects in educational decision making. The main conclusion of this study is that leadership based on the integration of multidimensional intelligence creates a more inclusive, character-based, and sustainable educational ecosystem. The theoretical implications of this study include enriching the literature on contemporary Islamic leadership based on values. The practical implications include recommendations for educational institutions, local governments, and policy makers to develop leadership training models that emphasize the balance between IQ, EQ, and SQ in the context of education. This study also opens up opportunities for further studies on the effectiveness of the integrative leadership model on the quality of education and character reform in other Islamic institutions.

Abstract

Parental upbringing plays a crucial role in supporting children’s academic success, particularly in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the elementary level. This study aims to examine the effect of parenting styles on the academic achievement of third-grade students in PAI subjects at SD Islam Darurrahim, East Jakarta. A quantitative approach with simple linear regression was used, involving 60 students as respondents. The results showed that the majority of parents applied parenting styles categorized as moderate (53%) and high (27%), while 62% of students had moderate academic achievement. The regression analysis indicated a positive and significant effect of parenting style on academic achievement, with a significance value of 0.044 and an R Square of 6.8%.

Abstract

The concept of hisbah in classical Islam can be actualized as a foundation for modern Sharia oversight, particularly through the role of the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) in financial institutions. However, the oversight conducted by the SSB is often merely formal and procedural, failing to address the deeper values of maqasid al-shari’ah (the objectives of Sharia). Given the complexity of modern financial products, a maqasid-based approach encompassing the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property is crucial as a benchmark for substantive Sharia validity. This study examines how hisbah principles can be embodied by the SSB within contemporary financial systems, utilizing a literature review methodology. The findings indicate that reorienting the SSB’s function from legalistic oversight to that of a guardian of Islamic ethical values is a vital strategy for realizing a Sharia financial system that is not only legally compliant but also delivers tangible benefits to the community.

Abstract

Advancements in information technology have significantly impacted various aspects of life, including education. Information technology has become a crucial tool for creating learning experiences that are more effective, efficient, and flexible. This study aims to outline the role, utilization, and both positive and negative impacts of information technology in education. Employing a qualitative literature review approach, this article discusses the concept of computer-based learning, the characteristics of information technology in supporting the teaching-learning process, and the challenges associated with implementing technology in educational settings. The findings indicate that information technology can enhance the quality of learning through interactive media and broad access to information. However, limitations in infrastructure, the digital divide, and a lack of digital literacy remain obstacles that must be addressed. Therefore, a prudent and targeted approach to technology integration is required to ensure that all stakeholders in education can derive optimal benefits.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications as supporting tools for university students in academic writing. The study is motivated by various difficulties faced by students in writing scientific papers, particularly in finding, mapping, managing, and understanding relevant references from both national and international sources. The development of AI technology provides opportunities to help students obtain scholarly information more quickly and efficiently. This study employs a literature review method by examining relevant literature on the use of AI technology to support academic writing. The results indicate that three applications can be utilized by students, namely Open Knowledge Maps, Publish or Perish, and Consensus AI. Open Knowledge Maps helps map literature based on topics, enabling students to understand the relationships among relevant studies more easily. Publish or Perish assists students in searching for and managing relevant academic references from various scholarly databases. Meanwhile, Consensus AI helps users search for academic literature and obtain information summaries based on research findings. The use of these three applications can improve the efficiency of reference searching and support students in preparing scientific papers. However, their use should be accompanied by critical thinking, source verification, and adherence to academic integrity principles.

Abstract

Globalization presents both challenges and opportunities for Islamic education, particularly for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as traditional institutions deeply rooted in Indonesian culture and history. In this context, the leadership of the kiai plays a strategic role in maintaining Islamic values while responding to the demands of contemporary change. This article aims to analyze the role of kiai leadership through the dimensions of authority and vision in addressing the dynamics of globalization in Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative approach using a comprehensive literature review of relevant academic sources, including scholarly journals, books, and previous research. The findings indicate that kiai leadership is built upon two interrelated pillars: authority and vision. The authority of the kiai, derived from religious scholarship, spiritual charisma, and moral integrity, functions as a safeguard for preserving the authenticity of Islamic teachings and pesantren traditions. Meanwhile, the vision of the kiai serves as a strategic direction for integrating Islamic values with global competencies through curriculum innovation, human resource development, and the utilization of technology and collaborative networks. The synergy between adaptive authority and visionary leadership enables pesantren to remain relevant, competitive, and capable of producing graduates who are spiritually grounded, morally upright, and professionally competent in the era of globalization.
