Abstract

Dating behavior among junior high school students has the potential to impact student focus and character development. As a preventative measure, Islamic educational institutions implement a gender segregation policy by separating classes between boys and girls. This study aims to describe student dating behavior and explore the effectiveness of gender segregation in preventing such behavior at "Semut Hitam" Junior High School. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Informants were selected purposively, including guidance and counseling teachers, student affairs officials, and the school environment. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. The results indicate that the student segregation policy successfully reduced the frequency of dating behavior. Class separation proved quite effective in limiting direct cross-gender interaction during learning and school activities, supported by teacher supervision, discipline, and the instillation of Islamic values. The effectiveness of this policy is also reflected in some alumni who continue to maintain boundaries with the opposite sex after graduation. Furthermore, peer solidarity was found, with students tending not to disclose hidden dating behavior and leaving the monitoring process to the school's mechanisms.

Abstract

Spiritual care is an essential component of holistic nursing, yet many nursing students still lack confidence in providing it. Digital simulation has emerged as an innovative strategy to address learning needs and enhance competencies in spiritual care. This exploratory qualitative study aims to explore nursing students’ learning needs regarding spiritual care through digital simulation and its contribution to the development of self-efficacy. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 11 senior-year students (5 in clinical stages and 6 in academic stages) who had participated in digital simulations. Participants were recruited purposively until data saturation was achieved. Thematic analysis using the Braun and Clarke framework with the assistance of NVivo 12 yielded four main themes: (1) learning needs encompass spiritual assessment, empathetic communication, and cross-cultural understanding; (2) self-efficacy is still developing, reinforced by peer and faculty support; (3) digital simulations enhance self-confidence, though limited to cultural contexts; and (4) development expectations include more diverse scenarios, automated feedback, and reflective discussions with faculty. This demonstrates the potential of digital simulations in identifying learning needs and strengthening students’ spiritual care competencies. Nursing education institutions are advised to integrate them into the curriculum by strengthening faculty capacity and incorporating scenarios sensitive to cultural and religious diversity. Further quantitative research is recommended for a more objective evaluation.

Abstract

The use of Quizizz-based digital media in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) instruction at SMKN 1 Bandar Lampung aims to enhance student motivation, participation, and engagement in the learning process. This study employs a qualitative method with a field study approach. Data were collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews with key informants, consisting of PAI subject teachers and students from class X TJKT 3 (Computer Networking and Telecommunications Technology). The selection of these subjects was based on the students' vocational background, which involves high digital literacy, thereby minimizing technical barriers. Key findings indicate that the use of Quizizz transformed the PAI learning paradigm from one previously focused on rote memorization into a more interactive approach through gamification elements. Features such as leaderboards, timers, and instant feedback were proven to motivate students to participate actively and encourage self-directed learning. Additionally, the automatic reporting feature makes it easier for teachers to evaluate learning outcomes efficiently. Technical challenges, such as unstable internet connections, were addressed through creative solutions such as using tethering and group work systems. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the use of Quizizz be combined with project-based learning strategies to create a more effective and inclusive learning environment.

Abstract

Learning methods are a key component in creating instructional effectiveness. This study aims to explore the concept of learning methods, as presented by Ibrahim Utsman Muthari and Washif Aziz in the book Tarbiyatul Amaliyah Wa Usus Turuq At Tadris, as a solution to low student participation and educator dominance in the contemporary education system. This study is a library research using content analysis techniques on primary sources and related secondary literature. The results show that learning effectiveness depends on the synergy between classical pedagogical values ​​and adaptive methodological innovation. Four main methodological pillars are identified: discourse, democratic discussions, systematic problem-solving, and collaborative project-based learning. The application of these methods not only increases intellectual absorption but also equips students with social-emotional intelligence and independence. The implications of these findings emphasize that the quality of education must be redefined as a meaningful learning process oriented towards character building and practical skills. The integration of the ideas in this book provides a strategic framework for educators to create an inspiring and student-centred learning environment.

Abstract

Nigeria’s multi-religious and pluralistic society continues to experience persistent tensions and conflicts, highlighting the urgent need for educational strategies that promote democratic citizenship and sustainable peace. This study presents a conceptual and curriculum-based analysis of the role of Religious Education (RE) in advancing peacebuilding and democratic engagement in Nigeria. Drawing on existing literature and policy frameworks, the paper critiques the predominantly confessional and doctrinal orientation of current RE curricula, particularly Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and Islamic Religious Studies (IRS), which often marginalise interreligious literacy, critical civic competencies, and peace-oriented content. The analysis identifies key gaps in curriculum design, pedagogical practices, and systemic implementation, including inadequate teacher training, weak integration of peace education, and the challenges associated with merging religious and civic education into composite subjects such as “Religion and National Values.” The paper argues for comprehensive curriculum reform that incorporates pluralistic perspectives, embeds peace education across disciplines, and strengthens the nexus between religious ethics, human rights, and democratic citizenship. It further emphasises the adoption of dialogic and participatory pedagogies, alongside strengthened school–community partnerships, to enhance contextual relevance and social cohesion. The study concludes that a reconceptualised and inclusive Religious Education framework can serve as a strategic tool for nurturing ethically grounded and socially responsible citizens capable of contributing to Nigeria’s democratic consolidation and long-term peace.

Abstract

Learning tahsin for students with intellectual disabilities requires a specific instructional approach that accommodates their individual characteristics, abilities, and needs. This study aims to describe the application of humanistic, inclusive, and student-centered learning approaches in improving tahsin learning at PPSGRA Subang. A qualitative descriptive method is used, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation to obtain information related to teaching strategies, classroom atmosphere, and student learning progress. The results show that a humanistic approach creates a supportive learning environment that rewards students' efforts and improves their comfort in learning. An inclusive approach facilitates the adaptation of media, strategies, and learning activities so that each student can participate according to his or her abilities. Meanwhile, the student-centered approach increases active participation, motivation, and confidence in recognizing and reading the Arabic letters of the Qur'an. Overall, the integration of these three approaches effectively supports the improvement of tahsin abilities and the social-emotional development of students with intellectual disabilities.

Abstract

The issue explored in this study stems from how Fiqh is often taught in a rather conventional way. In many cases, students simply listen, take notes, and move on, without really being involved in the learning process. Over time, this kind of approach seems to contribute to a lower level of understanding. With that in mind, the study sets out to examine whether using Kahoot! as a learning media can actually make a meaningful difference. A quantitative approach was used, applying a one group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 20 ninth-grade students from MTs Al-Ma’arif 2 Sorong Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection relied on pretest and posttest instruments, supported by observation and documentation. For the analysis, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test was conducted first, followed by the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The findings show a noticeable increase in the mean score, from 60.50 to 78.50. The significance value of 0.033, which is below 0.05, indicates that the use of Kahoot! has a statistically significant effect on students’ understanding. In a way, this suggests that the platform does more than just make learning feel lively; it also helps students grasp Fiqh material in a more effective and meaningful way.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the diniyah program at Nurul Yaqin Islamic Boarding School, Sorong Regency, and its effectiveness in supporting students’ achievement in Fiqh at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Yaqin. The study was motivated by the presence of two groups of students within the same madrasah environment: boarding students who lived in the pesantren and participated in the diniyah program, and non-boarding students who did not participate in it. This study employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the school principal, the Fiqh teacher, a diniyah coordinator, and boarding students. The findings show that the diniyah program was implemented in four daily sessions after the Ashar, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers. The program used classical Islamic texts such as Safinatun Najah, Taqrib, and Fath al-Qarib, and employed sorogan, bandongan, memorization, and collective study methods. Students who joined the diniyah program demonstrated stronger conceptual understanding, greater classroom readiness, higher confidence, and more active participation in Fiqh lessons than students who did not join the program. Documentation of learning outcomes also indicates a higher average Fiqh score among diniyah participants. In addition to strengthening academic achievement, the program fostered discipline, religious practice, and learning motivation. The study concludes that the diniyah program was effective in supporting Fiqh learning achievement at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Yaqin, although its implementation also required careful management of student workload and rest time.
