Abstract

This study aims to examine how Albert Bandura's social learning theory can be applied in the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to help teachers identify and develop students' interests and talents. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. The data used in this study consists of primary and secondary sources. Primary sources include Albert Bandura's book "Social Learning Theory," while secondary data are obtained from journal articles and relevant documents. Data collection techniques are carried out through identification, selection, and content analysis, with steps including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings suggest that Albert Bandura's social learning theory provides an effective theoretical and practical framework to assist teachers in identifying and developing students' interests and talents, particularly in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Using observational learning and modeling approaches, this theory provides a relevant foundation for teachers to understand students' potential through analyzing students' attention, retention, motor reproduction, and motivation in various learning activities. The modeling concept, which emphasizes the importance of teacher role models, is highly in line with the principle of uswatun hasanah in Islamic education, where teachers not only act as transmitters of material but also as models of Islamic behavior.

Abstract

Education plays an important role in creating the progress of a nation, including in developing the character and skills of children from an early age. At the early childhood education level, the role of the principal is very crucial in improving the quality of education through the management and development of the competence of education personnel, especially teachers. This study aims to analyze the leadership behavior of the principal in improving teacher performance at Raudhatul Athfal (RA) Al-Barokah. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, involving interviews, observations, and documentation to collect data. The results of the study indicate that the principal at RA Al-Barokah applies various leadership strategies including effective communication, coaching and motivation, creating a conducive environment, and providing adequate facilities. In addition, the principal also develops programs such as independent curriculum training, self-development workshops, teacher performance supervision, and awarding awards to encourage improvements in the quality of learning. The principal at RA Al-Barokah also emphasized the importance of performance evaluation that focuses not only on results, but also on the learning process and teacher self-development. By implementing participatory and collaborative leadership strategies, principals can create an educational environment that supports the improvement of teacher performance, which ultimately has a positive impact on the quality of learning for children. This study is expected to contribute to the development of educational leadership theory and provide practical recommendations for principals in improving the effectiveness of teacher performance at the early childhood education level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of principal leadership in improving the quality of Human Resources (HR) at the South Tangerang City Development Madrasah Aliyah. In the context of education, the quality of HR is one of the important factors that determine the success of an educational institution. The principal, as the main leader, plays a key role in guiding and managing HR to achieve optimal educational goals. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, which involves in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and administrative staff at the madrasah. The results of the study indicate that the principal plays a role in several important aspects, including planning and implementing teacher professional development programs, improving the quality of teaching through training, and managing resources to create a conducive work environment. In addition, the principal also plays a role in motivating and providing moral support to teachers to continue to develop and improve their competence. Other factors that also play an influence are clear policies, effective communication, and the principal's ability to manage change. Thus, the role of the principal's leadership greatly influences the improvement of HR quality at the South Tangerang City Development Madrasah Aliyah, which in turn will improve the quality of education at the madrasah.

Abstract

This research originates from the many cases of women who are always considered as inferior subjects in gender studies, this is influenced by the subjectivity of interpretation and understanding of the verses of the Koran. Women are confined as creatures of the household, not given the opportunity to express themselves, not given leadership opportunities, and underestimated as full human beings. The patriarchal culture of Islam, which has disenfranchised women, is to blame. Men and women are usually seen as members of different human races in Islamic culture. This study aims to re-examine the Qur'anic interpretation of women's rights and justice using Amina Wadud's theoretical foundation. It is from this foundation that Amina Wadud began to interpret the Quran in terms of feminism and gender justice. This research is a literature study with a qualitative approach that uses descriptive analysis. Data analysis is done through three stages: data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results show that gender justice is a distinction between men and women, so women's experiences and perspectives must be valued equally with men. The Qur'an uses a person's level of piety as a benchmark to assess their value and dignity. Wadud said that, given the existence of gender-based leadership and duties, such reasoning is not suitable for a Muslim man and shows the low quality of his faith. Justice in this context refers to the consideration of both material and immaterial issues.

Abstract

The rapid development of the global economy can lead to the need for sustainable financing, especially in supporting environmentally friendly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study analyzes the potential of qardhul hasan as a social financing instrument in supporting the development of environmentally friendly Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia and explores the role of Islamic banking in the implementation of green financing. As an interest-free financing scheme, qardhul hasan offers an innovative solution for MSMEs that are constrained from accessing conventional financing due to high interest rates and strict requirements. In the context of green financing, qardhul hasan not only provides more inclusive access to capital but also encourages MSMEs to adopt sustainable business practices. These practices include the use of environmentally friendly technologies, ecological raw materials, as well as better waste management, which directly contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly related to climate action and inclusive economic growth. The research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to examine the relevance of qardhul hasan in supporting the sustainability agenda. The results show that qardhul hasan not only reduces the financial burden of MSMEs but also allows businesses to focus on developing their business, improving operational efficiency, and expanding markets. In addition, qardhul hasan strengthens the role of Islamic banking as a strategic actor in green financing by providing financial support for MSMEs that contribute to environmental conservation. With cross-sector synergy, qardhul hasan has great potential to become a key element in creating a balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability. This research is expected to provide academic and practical contributions in the development of sharia-based sustainable financing and strengthen Indonesia's commitment to climate change mitigation.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze and compare two primary methods in the study of tafsir: Tafsir Riwayah/Bi Al Ma'tsur and Tafsir Dirayah/Bi Al Ra'y, and to explore how their integration can enrich understanding of the Qur'an. The research method used is a case study, which involves collecting and analyzing literature related to tafsir from various sources, including relevant books, articles, and scholarly works. The research results show that Tafsir Riwayah/Bi Al Ma'tsur, which is based on history and authoritative sources, provides a historical and traditional context in interpreting the verses of the Qur'an. On the other hand, Tafsir Dirayah/Bi Al Ra'y offers a more dynamic and contextual approach, providing space for critical reasoning in understanding the meaning of the text. The integration of these two approaches enables the creation of a more holistic and in-depth understanding of the Al-Qur'an, so that it is able to answer the challenges of the times that continue to develop.

Abstract

This research analyzes the role of digital literacy in dealing with the spread of hoaxes among women aged 40 years and over in Bintaro Jaya Village, Ampenan District. With the rapid development of technology, access to information is getting easier, but it also increases the risk of spreading hoaxes. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with 55 female respondents who were active on social media. Data was collected through structured interviews and analyzed qualitatively. The research results show that although respondents have good access to technology, most have difficulty evaluating and filtering information. The majority use cellphones to access information, but only 50% actively select information based on the credibility of the source. These findings highlight the need to increase digital literacy to empower women aged 40 years and over to face hoaxes in the digital era.

Abstract

Islamic education has a very important role in shaping the character and morals of students. The concept of knowledge in Islam does not only include worldly knowledge, but is also closely related to spiritual and moral values. One relevant approach to integrating these values in the educational process is tafsir tarbawi, which uses the Al-Qur'an as the main source of values in education. This research aims to explore the concept of knowledge in Islamic education and the implementation of tarbawi interpretation in the context of modern education. The methodology used in this research is a qualitative approach with in-depth literature study as well as interviews with several educators and managers of Islamic educational institutions who apply tarbawi interpretation. This research also analyzes various learning programs and curricula that integrate Islamic values in the educational process. The research results show that the application of tarbawi interpretation can increase the understanding and application of Islamic values in students' lives. Through thematic discussions that connect the verses of the Qur'an with learning themes, students not only learn academic knowledge but also imbibe moral and spiritual values. Despite this, the implementation of tafsir tarbawi faces several obstacles, such as the limited understanding of teachers about this method and the lack of continuous training. This research recommends continuous teacher training, more holistic curriculum development, as well as value-based evaluation to improve the quality of Islamic education more comprehensively.
