Abstract

This study investigates the process of English-speaking habituation among EFL students in a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in East Java, Indonesia. Recognizing the growing importance of English in global communication, the research explores how pesantren-based programs support students in developing practical speaking skills within a religious and sociocultural context. Using an exploratory case study design and rely on Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development, data were collected through institutional documents, interviews with curriculum administrators, and participatory observation at the Foreign Language Development Institute (LPBA) of Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid. Findings reveal that structured initiatives such as Native Day and Level Mentoring play a crucial role in fostering immersion, peer-led learning, and confidence in using English. Students demonstrated adaptive strategies for negotiating meaning in English while managing interference from local languages like Madurese and Indonesian. The study highlights how consistency, learner autonomy, and institutional support contribute significantly to speaking proficiency. These insights offer practical implications for designing culturally responsive English curricula tailored to Islamic educational settings, reinforcing the need for pedagogical models that integrate language acquisition with students’ lived religious experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the Sundanese local wisdom values instilled within the family environment, the role of families in character education, the process of character internalization through cultural activities, and the challenges faced in its implementation within the Cireundeu Indigenous Community of Cimahi City. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Research participants consisted of traditional leaders, parents, children/adolescents, and community leaders selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data analysis employed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that character education within the Cireundeu Indigenous Community is implemented through the internalization of Sundanese local wisdom values such as silih asih (mutual affection), silih asah (mutual learning), silih asuh (mutual guidance), sabilulungan (mutual cooperation), courtesy, responsibility, simplicity, and gratitude. Families function as educators, role models, motivators, and supervisors in shaping children's character. The internalization of character values is strengthened through children's participation in cultural and social activities within the indigenous community. The resulting character traits include politeness, responsibility, social concern, independence, simplicity, and appreciation of local culture. Despite challenges posed by digital technology, social media, and cultural globalization, the Cireundeu community has successfully maintained its cultural values through the philosophy of Ngindung ka Waktu, Mibapa ka Jaman, which emphasizes adapting to changing times without losing cultural identity. This study concludes that character education based on Sundanese local wisdom within the family environment serves as an effective model for shaping the character of younger generations while preserving local cultural sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze institutional policies, technological infrastructure, and the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based learning media in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at Nurul Haramain Islamic Boarding School, Narmada, West Lombok. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with school leaders, digital transformation coordinators, and PAI teachers, complemented by observations and document analysis. The data were analyzed using an interactive model involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, while data trustworthiness was ensured through source and methodological triangulation. The findings reveal that ICT-based learning innovation is supported by strong institutional leadership, the TUGU SASAK program, Computerized-Based Classes, computer laboratories, multimedia classrooms, a digital library, a data center, and internet connectivity. ICT-based learning media are implemented through digital presentations, instructional videos, audiovisual learning materials, computer-based assessments, and online learning resources across Fiqh, Qur'an-Hadith, Aqidah-Akhlaq, and Islamic Cultural History subjects. These practices enhance student engagement, expand access to learning resources, improve instructional efficiency, and strengthen conceptual understanding. However, challenges remain, including disparities in teachers' digital competencies, limited technological resources, and the need for stronger pedagogical design and digital ethics. The study contributes to the literature by proposing an integrative framework that connects institutional leadership and policy, technological ecosystem readiness, ICT-supported PAI pedagogy, and the internalization of Islamic values as interconnected dimensions of digital transformation in pesantren. The findings further suggest the importance of continuous teacher professional development, equitable infrastructure governance, and context-sensitive technology policies to support sustainable digital transformation in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of self-regulated learning, instructor support, and campus climate on maritime competence among maritime cadets, with psychological well-being as a moderating variable. The study employed a quantitative explanatory research design. The population consisted of 670 students from Cohorts VII, VIII, IX, and X at Politeknik Pelayaran Sumatera Barat, Indonesia. A pilot test was conducted with 100 cadets, while the main study involved 570 respondents. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 3. The findings revealed that instructor support had a positive and significant effect on maritime competence. In contrast, self-regulated learning, campus climate, and psychological well-being did not have significant direct effects on maritime competence. Furthermore, psychological well-being did not moderate the relationships between self-regulated learning, instructor support, campus climate, and maritime competence. These findings indicate that instructor support is the most influential factor in enhancing cadets' maritime competence within maritime vocational higher education. This study contributes theoretically by extending the understanding of maritime competence through the integration of individual, instructional, environmental, and psychological factors into a single structural model. Practically, the findings provide valuable insights for maritime higher education institutions to strengthen instructor competence and instructional quality in order to improve maritime competence among cadets.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, in the learning process at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Palopo, Indonesia, and identifies strategies for integrating AI into higher education responsibly. Data were collected through observation, semi structured interviews, and an open-ended questionnaire involving 16 lecturers and students with experience using AI in teaching and learning, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings show that AI has considerable potential to enhance the quality of learning by supporting independent study, improving digital literacy, and enabling more adaptive and personalized instruction, while also strengthening lecturer and students’ interaction by freeing class time for deeper discussion. At the same time, participants raised concerns about limited technological literacy, the risk of overreliance on AI, and the absence of clear institutional policy on AI use. The study recommends that UIN Palopo and similar institutions develop structured digital literacy training and formal policies on the ethical use of AI, so that AI functions as a supportive partner rather than a substitute for the human and critical dimensions of higher education.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the validity and practicality of Articulate Storyline–based audiovisual teaching materials integrated into a mobile learning platform for university-level tennis instruction. This Research and Development (R&D) study followed the Analysis, Design, and Development stages of the ADDIE model. Product validity was evaluated by two media experts and two subject-matter experts using Aiken’s V coefficient. Practicality testing involved one tennis-course lecturer and 90 students, comprising 30 students in a small-group trial and 60 students in a large-group trial. Practicality data were analyzed descriptively and expressed as percentages. The media and content evaluations each produced a mean Aiken’s V coefficient of 0.86, indicating that both aspects were highly valid. The overall combined validity coefficient was also 0.86. Student practicality scores increased from 82.5% in the small-group trial to 85.0% in the large-group trial, with an overall mean of 83.8%, categorized as highly practical. The highest-rated indicator was the clarity of the technique-demonstration videos (88.2%), whereas interface navigation received the lowest score (79.4%). The lecturer assessment yielded a practicality score of 90.6%, which was also categorized as highly practical. These findings confirm that the developed teaching materials satisfy the established validity and practicality criteria for use in tennis courses. Articulate Storyline–based audiovisual mobile learning materials are highly valid and practical for supporting university-level tennis instruction. Further studies should evaluate their effectiveness in improving students’ cognitive learning outcomes and basic tennis skills

Abstract

This study is motivated by the low achievement of the Education Report Card of SMKN 1 Sengah Temila in the aspect of performance-based teacher competence through Ruang GTK, particularly in the dimension of alignment with labor market needs. This condition indicates that the implementation of the performance-based teacher competency improvement program through Ruang GTK has not been optimal. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the program using a qualitative approach with the CIPP evaluation model. The study involved 42 participants consisting of the principal, vice principals, school supervisors, teachers through snowball sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and non-participant observation guided by CIPP instruments to explore program implementation. Documentation was conducted by analyzing supporting documents such as the Education Report Card, employee performance targets, and supervision documents. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through data reduction with coding to identify meaning units and categorize data, followed by data presentation in analytical narratives and thematic matrices, and conclusion drawing through interpretation of patterns. The results showed that in the context aspect, program needs are clear but not yet realized in integrated evidence-based planning. In the input aspect, resources are available but not adequate in quality and distribution. In the process aspect, implementation has been carried out but is not supported by digital-based supervision. Overall, the program has not been optimal and requires continuous improvement through strengthening policies aligned with the school’s vision and mission, improving facilities, program implementation, and follow-up evaluation of Ruang GTK.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating digital multiliteracy-based grammar instruction in enhancing EFL students' critical thinking skills within the context of Universitas Ma'arif Lampung (UMALA). Amid the rapid digital transformation and the unique values of Islamic education as embodied by UMALA's vision of being "Unggul, berwawasan global dan berkarakter Islam Ahlussunah Wal Jama'ah An Nahdliyah," traditional grammar teaching often remains teacher-centered and rule-focused, failing to foster higher-order thinking aligned with 21st-century demands. This quasi-experimental research employed a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design involving 64 EFL students from the Tadris Bahasa Inggris (TBI) program at UMALA. Quantitative data were gathered through pre- and post-tests using the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA) and a grammar proficiency test, analyzed using ANCOVA. Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews (n=12), classroom observations, and student reflective journals were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed a significant improvement in critical thinking skills (F=21.56, p<0.001, η²=0.32) and grammar proficiency (F=17.23, p<0.001, η²=0.28) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Qualitative results identified four key themes: enhanced analytical reasoning, contextual grammar awareness, increased engagement in digital learning environments, and integration of Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah values into critical literacy practices. This study contributes a novel pedagogical model that bridges digital multiliteracies with grammar instruction, offering practical implications for EFL educators in Islamic higher education seeking to cultivate critical thinking while preserving value-based learning environments rooted in the Nahdliyyin tradition.
