Abstract

Education is a key pillar in creating a nation's progress and prosperity. In Islam, education not only develops knowledge but also shapes character and good morals. Since its inception in Indonesia, Islamic education has played a significant role in the process of Islamization, yet it has faced the challenge of remaining relevant to current developments. Mahmud Yunus, a key figure in the reform of Islamic education in Indonesia, made significant contributions to integrating religious and general knowledge into the education system. His thinking emphasized the importance of a curriculum that combines religious and scientific knowledge, the use of Indonesian in learning, and the development of more modern teaching methods. Mahmud Yunus also proposed reforms in Islamic educational institutions, introducing a classical system and a structured curriculum, and emphasizing the role of educators as role models. His reform efforts formed the basis for the development of a more dynamic and adaptive Islamic education to the changing times, making it relevant today.

Abstract

Education has been a fundamental pillar of human civilization since ancient times. Humans have learned to understand life, even up to the modern era we live in. With increasingly sophisticated and advanced technology, education plays a role as a tool for developing human potential. Humans are unique among other creatures. Experts study them from diverse perspectives. Quraish Shihab stated that many scientists have studied humans, but the results remain limited. What we do know is that humans are composed of several specific parts. This, too, depends on each individual's perception.

Abstract

The acculturation process is a crucial part of the life of new female santri who enter the pesantren environment. They must adjust to various cultures, norms, and values that are different from those they bring from home. Acculturation stress often arises due to these differences, which can affect their ability to adapt to the new environment. This study aims to analyze the effect of acculturation stress on the self-adjustment process of new female santri in Islamic religious education. The method used in this research is a quantitative approach with a survey, which involves a number of new female santri from several pesantren as samples. The results showed that the level of acculturation stress experienced by santri was quite high and had a significant influence on their self-adjustment process. A good adjustment process is proven to improve the mental well-being and academic success of santri. Therefore, it is important to provide appropriate support to manage acculturation stress, so that students can adapt better. This study recommends the need for assistance programs that can help santri in overcoming acculturation stress and facilitate their adaptation process in pesantren. Thus, the mental well-being and academic achievement of santri will be better ensured.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of parental neglect on children's learning motivation at TPQ Barokah, Gonilan Village, Kartasura District. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies. The research subjects included children studying at the TPQ Barokah, their parents, and teachers. The findings indicate that a lack of parental attention, such as minimal involvement in learning activities, absence of guidance during tasks, and poor communication between parents and children, contributes to a decline in children's learning motivation. Children who receive less attention tend to exhibit low levels of participation in learning, lack discipline, and have lower self-confidence in the learning process. Conversely, consistent parental attention significantly enhances children's enthusiasm and interest in learning, both at home and in the TPQ Barokah environment. This study highlights the crucial role of parental involvement as a key factor in supporting children's educational success. The findings recommend increasing parental awareness of their role in supporting children's education and fostering closer collaboration between educational institutions and families to create a more supportive learning environment.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the efficiency of education budget management at SD IT Al-Fitrah and identify challenges and solutions that can be applied in the context of modern education. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation and document analysis related to school budget management. The data obtained were analyzed thematically to identify relevant patterns. The results show that although SD IT Al-Fitrah has tried to manage its budget well, there are some significant challenges faced, including wasteful use of funds and lack of allocation for facility development. Around 15% of the total budget is left over each year. In addition, the utilization of information technology in budget management is still limited, which hampers operational efficiency. This study recommends the implementation of a more transparent budget planning and evaluation system, increased utilization of information technology, and better collaboration with parents and communities to support education budget efficiency.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the development of the concept of ma'rifat in Islamic thought, from classical to contemporary times, by looking at its historical journey, we will understand how this concept has been understood and translated by Islamic intellectuals and scholars in various historical periods. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review methodology approach to analyze the development of the concept of ma'rifat in Islamic thought. In classical Islamic thought, ma'rifat is more than just knowledge; it refers to an inner experience gained through self-purification and a spiritual approach. In Sufism, ma'rifat is related to the achievement of high knowledge about the essence of the universe and God, which is obtained not only through intellectual study, but direct experience. Modern thought, as expressed by Muhammad Iqbal and Seyyed Hossein Nasr, offers a new interpretation by connecting ma'rifat to science and the challenges of the times. Both of them try to modernize this concept, responding to the influence of rationalism and materialism, and making ma'rifat a means of social and spiritual transformation. Thus, ma'rifat teaches that a true understanding of God and life requires a deep spiritual search. The findings of this study are that ma'rifat is no longer limited to individual experience, but also has broad implications in understanding the relationship between humans, science, and the reality of modern life. This study not only confirms classical thinking about ma'rifat, but also challenges the view that this concept is only esoteric and irrelevant in contemporary academic studies.
