Abstract

In the era of educational disruption, pesantren are required to transform without losing their traditional (salaf) identity. The role of the Kiai as a central leader is a determinant factor in the success of such change management. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Kiai's transformational leadership in pesantren management, specifically in the aspects of institutional vision development and human resource empowerment. Methods: This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the Kiai, foundation board members, and teachers, as well as through participatory observation and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, including data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was tested through source and technique triangulation. Findings: The research findings indicate that the Kiai's transformational leadership is operationalized through four main dimensions: (1) Idealized Influence through moral excellence and spiritual charisma; (2) Inspirational Motivation through the internalization of values of sincerity and independence; (3) Intellectual Stimulation by encouraging managerial ijtihad in the curriculum; and (4) Individualized Consideration through a humanistic paternalistic approach. The Kiai successfully integrates pesantren values with modern management principles (POAC) to enhance institutional competitiveness. Conclusion/Implications: This study concludes that the transformational leadership model in pesantren is unique, characterized by a blend of theological authority and managerial professionalism. The implications of this research strengthen transformational leadership theory within the context of non-formal Islamic educational organizations.

Abstract

The rapid development of technology in the digital era has significantly influenced higher education, including students of the Islamic Education Management (MPI) Study Program at IAIN Takengon. While technology provides broader access to information and learning resources, it also increases the risk of plagiarism due to the ease of obtaining data without proper management. This study aims to describe the strengthening of student self-leadership through the socialization of the Zotero application as a technology-based strategy. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, socialization activities, and documentation. The findings reveal that Zotero socialization positively impacts students’ self-leadership in three aspects: (1) self-awareness, where students recognize the importance of digital reference management as a preventive measure against plagiarism; (2) self-regulation, which enhances their ability to organize learning and writing systematically through library folders and consistent citation practices; and (3) self-motivation, which fosters both internal and external encouragement to produce high-quality academic work. Thus, Zotero functions not only as a reference management tool but also as a medium for cultivating self-leadership relevant to the demands of the digital era. This study concludes that integrating technology into learning supports digital literacy, academic independence, and student productivity, aligning with the vision of the MPI Study Program at IAIN Takengon to produce adaptive and integrity-driven graduates in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the effectiveness of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach on improving students' Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in IPAS subjects. The method used was a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design involving 32 fifth-grade students at MIS Kurnia Kota Jambi, who were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through HOTS test instruments and analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in students' higher-order thinking skills, with the experimental class obtaining a post-test average score of 73.31, which was much higher than the control class, which only achieved 50.44. In conclusion, the integration of systematic STEM steps (observation, new ideas, innovation, creation, and social values) effectively transformed students' cognition from a low level to a level of analysis, evaluation, and creation. This approach has been proven to be able to bridge the understanding of abstract scientific theory into concrete solutions, making it highly relevant for developing the adaptive competencies of elementary school students in the modern era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by the Snake and Ladder Game (SLG) media on the cognitive learning outcomes of students in Mathematics in grade II at MI Al-Munawwarah, Jambi City. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. There were 57 students in the study, divided into an experimental class and a control class. The experimental class was taught using the PBL model assisted by the SLG media, while the control class used the PBL model without the game media. Data collection was conducted through pre-tests and post-tests, while data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics, including normality tests, homogeneity tests, Independent Sample t-Tests, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the average post-test scores and N-Gain of the experimental class were higher than those of the control class. The t-test results obtained a significance value of 0.047 (< 0.05), which indicates a significant difference in learning outcomes. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the PBL model assisted by the Snake and Ladder Game media has a significant effect on improving students' cognitive learning outcomes in mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using comic media in improving the cognitive learning outcomes of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) for fifth-grade students at Al-Munawwarah Private Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Jambi City. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental research type and a nonequivalent control group design. The research subjects consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class, which applied IPAS learning using comic media, and the control class, which used conventional learning media. Data collection was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests, while data analysis used descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, and normalized gain (N-Gain) tests. The results showed that there was a significant difference in IPAS cognitive learning outcomes between the experimental class and the control class. The results of the independent sample t-test analysis showed a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.30 < 0.05 and a t-value of 2.221, indicating a significant effect of the use of comic media on students' IPAS cognitive learning outcomes. The average N-Gain value of the experimental class was 0.60, which is in the moderate category, and the N-Gain effectiveness interpretation category was 60%, which is considered quite effective. Thus, comic media is effective in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes in IPAS, which can be used as an alternative innovative learning media to improve the quality of IPAS learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah.

Abstract

The hadith prohibiting female imams has always been a topic of discussion among Muslims in Indonesia, as this argument has always been used as an obstacle to empowerment. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the prohibition of female imams from various perspectives and its contextualization for Muslims in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive qualitative, sourced from literature studies with a critical approach to the sanad and matan of the hadith. The results of this study conclude that from the perspective of sanad studies, the hadith regarding the prohibition of female imams is of weak quality and from the perspective of matan, it is also problematic because it contradicts the verses of the Qur'an. The practice of female imams in the contemporary era in Indonesia is permissible if there is a valid religious reason, such as the absence of competent men, or if it is based on a mutual agreement that results in the common good.

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in shaping the character, knowledge, and civilization of the nation, including the teaching of Islamic Cultural History (SKI), which serves to instill Islamic values and character in students. However, in practice, SKI learning is often considered uninteresting, resulting in low student motivation. This study aims to determine the effect of implementing the BCM (Playing, Telling, and Singing) method on improving student motivation in SKI in sixth-grade students at MI Attamimi. This study used a quantitative approach with an experimental design using a One Group Pretest–Posttest. Forty students participated in the study. Data collection techniques included observation and documentation, while data analysis included validity, reliability, normality, homogeneity, independent t-tests, and the N-Gain test using SPSS version 27. The results showed that the research instrument had very high reliability, with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.922. The data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The N-Gain test showed an average value of 81.79, which is in the high category. These findings indicate that the implementation of the BCM method significantly increases students' learning motivation. Therefore, the BCM method is effective as an alternative to Islamic Studies (IS) learning that is more active, enjoyable, and meaningful. This research contributes to providing an alternative innovative learning method through the application of the BCM method (Playing, Telling, and Singing) to increase students' learning motivation in the subject of Islamic Cultural History.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the need for more creative and relevant da’wah methods in accordance with contemporary developments, particularly for the younger generation in Islamic boarding schools. This study aims to analyze the da’wah delivery strategies through Islamic musical arts and their role in enhancing students’ religious motivation at Al-Muawanah Islamic Boarding School, Rancabango, Garut. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects included the head of the Islamic boarding school, Islamic music instructors, and students involved in hadrah and marawis activities. Data were analyzed using triangulation techniques to ensure the validity of the findings. The results indicate that the da’wah strategy through Islamic musical arts is implemented by integrating Islamic values into song lyrics, training activities, and performances. Islamic musical arts function as an effective medium of da’wah because they attract students’ interest, touch emotional and spiritual aspects, and strengthen their love for Allah and His Messenger. In addition, the use of digital media supports the expansion of da’wah outreach. The role of Islamic musical arts is proven to enhance students’ religious motivation, as reflected in increased enthusiasm for worship, participation in religious activities, confidence in delivering da’wah, and discipline in practicing Islamic values. Therefore, Islamic musical arts serve as an innovative and relevant da’wah strategy in fostering students’ religious motivation in the Islamic boarding school environment.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy on students’ learning effectiveness in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at SMA Negeri 1 Garut. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with simple linear regression analysis. The research population consisted of all eleventh-grade students totaling 350 students, with a sample of 75 students determined using the Slovin formula and stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson Product Moment correlation, while reliability was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha with a value of 0.730, indicating that the instrument was reliable. Data processing and analysis were conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results showed that the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy had a significant effect on students’ learning effectiveness, with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.535 indicates that the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy contributed 53.5% to students’ learning effectiveness, while the remaining 46.5% was influenced by other factors outside this study. The contribution of this study lies in presenting empirical evidence regarding the implementation of the Hypercontent-based Joyful Learning strategy in Islamic Religious Education at the secondary school level, which has been rarely examined in previous studies. Furthermore, this study provides empirical evidence on the integration of innovative digital technology–based learning strategies in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to enhance students’ learning effectiveness at the secondary school level. The findings also strengthen the development of innovative learning strategies that integrate digital technology with the characteristics and objectives of Islamic Religious Education to improve students’ learning effectiveness.
