Abstract

Developing superior human resources through higher education is crucial for national progress. However, interest in pursuing higher education in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), particularly Central Lombok, remains a challenge that requires empirical study. This study aims to examine the impact of social support on interest in pursuing higher education, as well as the mediating role of self-efficacy in this relationship. This quantitative study, using a survey approach, involved 100 active university students in Central Lombok Regency as a sample, selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that social support had a positive and significant effect on interest in pursuing higher education and self-efficacy. A key finding was that self-efficacy fully mediated the effect of social support on interest in pursuing higher education (R2 = 60.9%). Theoretically, this indicates that social support must first be internalized into self-efficacy to effectively increase interest. Policy implications highlight the importance of intervention programs that not only provide social support, but also strategically focus on strengthening individual self-efficacy to encourage higher education participation in the region.

Abstract

This study aims to increase student engagement in Islamic Jurisprudence learning through the SHARIA Board Game in elementary schools. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by simple quantitative descriptive data, using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) development model. The participants consisted of one Islamic Religious Education teacher and 15 fourth-grade students. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, questionnaires, and test scores, and were analyzed using thematic analysis following Miles and Huberman’s (1994) model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that the average student score increased from 70.77 to 80.67 (13.99%), and learning completeness improved from 46.15% to 73.33%. The SHARIA Board Game also strengthened student engagement across four dimensions: cognitive, behavioral, social, and spiritual. Students became more active, motivated, and collaborative during learning activities. Theoretically, this study contributes to Islamic Religious Education by demonstrating that game-based learning can transform abstract fiqh concepts into meaningful and contextual learning experiences. Practically, the SHARIA Board Game offers an effective, low-cost, non-digital learning alternative that can be implemented in elementary schools to enhance motivation, participation, and understanding of worship practices.

Abstract

Digital education expands rapidly, yet research on Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and Self-Organized Learning Environments (SOLE) often proceeds separately, obscuring how integration with standardized critical-thinking measures improves learning. This review addresses that gap by synthesizing evidence, specifying how PWA affordances scaffold SOLE processes, and offering guidance for practice and policy. A Systematic Literature Review (SPAR-4-SLR) was conducted. Searches in Scopus, SINTA, and Google Scholar covered 2020–2025 using Boolean strings (PWA and SOLE and “critical thinking”). Inclusion targeted peer-reviewed studies in formal education reporting learning or critical-thinking outcomes; screening followed PRISMA 2020. Instruments comprised a four-criterion Likert quality appraisal (objectives clarity, methodological appropriateness, data quality and completeness, educational relevance; cutoff ≥ 12), a standardized data-extraction form, and NVivo 12 for thematic analysis with calibration and inter-rater agreement (Cohen’s κ ≥ 0.70). Twenty-five studies were included. Results show 32% focused on PWA (flexibility, motivation, project-based engagement), 40% on SOLE (independence, collaboration, inquiry), and 28% on integrated approaches indicating potential for adaptive, participatory, contextual ecosystems, although instruments are heterogeneous and causal designs limited. Theoretically, the review specifies a technology–pedagogy alignment that maps offline access, installability, responsiveness, and notifications to SOLE phases and core critical-thinking dimensions. Practically, it recommends a design checklist for educators, rubric and outcome alignment for curriculum developers, and policies prioritizing device access, reliable connectivity with offline options, lightweight authentication, and professional development for SOLE facilitation.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital platforms has transformed the landscape of Islamic education; however, many pesantren still struggle to integrate digital dakwah with traditional learning systems. This research addresses this gap by examining how Salimna Official, a media platform of Pondok Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur’an An-Nasuchiyyah Kudus, integrates religious and secular knowledge within its digital content. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and documentation analysis, and were examined using thematic analysis to ensure methodological rigor and analytical clarity. The findings show three key patterns: (1) the integration of Islamic teachings with contemporary knowledge appears consistently in video content, infographics, and podcasts; (2) digital strategies such as content diversification, youth-centered engagement, and expert collaboration strengthen pedagogical relevance; and (3) these strategies are aligned with Rasyid Ridha’s educational philosophy, particularly his concept of harmonizing religious and worldly sciences. Scientifically, this study contributes to the discourse on digital Islamic pedagogy by offering an empirical model of integrated knowledge production in pesantren-based digital media. Practically, the study provides a replicable framework for pesantren seeking to strengthen digital dakwah, develop students’ multimedia skills, and enhance the relevance of Islamic education in the digital era.
