Abstract

This study investigates the influence of kinesthetic learning style on student learning outcomes in experience-based vocational learning, focusing on the Broadcasting and Film Department at SMK Negeri 7 Surakarta. The research adopts a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design to examine the relationship between naturally occurring kinesthetic learning tendencies and students’ academic performance without experimental manipulation. Data were collected from all 106 students using a validated and reliable kinesthetic learning style questionnaire and documented learning outcome records, and were analyzed through prerequisite testing and simple linear regression. The findings reveal that kinesthetic learning style has a positive and statistically significant effect on student learning outcomes, indicating that students with stronger kinesthetic tendencies tend to perform better in practice-oriented vocational learning environments. The results indicate that kinesthetic learning style has a positive and significant effect on student learning outcomes, as evidenced by an F value of 62.508 with a significance level of < 0.001. The coefficient of determination (R²) shows that 16.9% of the variance in learning outcomes is explained by kinesthetic learning style, while the remaining variance is influenced by other factors. Future research is recommended to involve broader samples, additional influencing variables, and mixed-methods approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of learning outcomes in vocational education contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation model of religious moderation at MAN 1 Yogyakarta in responding to the challenges of the post-truth era, marked by widespread disinformation and shifts in religious values. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research focuses on strategic design, institutional support, and the impact of the program on students’ character development. The values of moderation are integrated into the curriculum, extracurricular activities, and school culture to shape students who are critical, tolerant, and inclusive. The findings indicate that MAN 1 Yogyakarta has successfully internalized moderation through innovative programs such as SANDI MAS, the Islamic History Tour, and interfaith dialogue. These programs have had a positive impact on improving students’ cognitive understanding, affective attitudes, and social behavior. The model reflects a transformative learning approach that strengthens critical religious literacy and pluralistic values in addressing contemporary ideological challenges. This study recommends that other Islamic educational institutions adopt an integrative approach that combines pedagogical, cultural, and personal dimensions to foster a moderate, tolerant, and diversity-oriented generation.

Abstract

Classical Islamic education played a central role in shaping the scientific architecture and social structure of Muslim societies from the 7th to the 13th century CE. Examining this period is essential for tracing the epistemological roots and institutional dynamics that continue to influence contemporary Islamic educational systems. This study employs a conceptual-analytical approach and a historical-critical method to investigate both formal institutions (madrasah) and informal ones (ḥalaqah, maktab, bookshops), including the characteristics of their curricula, modes of knowledge transmission, and the authority of teachers. The main findings reveal a dualism between the academic freedom of informal systems and the scholarly authoritarianism of standardized madrasah affiliated with state power. While informal education offered autonomy and flexibility in the pursuit of knowledge, both systems ultimately contributed to epistemological conservatism due to the dominance of textual authority and limited space for innovation. The implications suggest that the epistemic and political structures of classical Islamic education fostered a scholarly culture that was passive and resistant to interdisciplinarity. This study is limited in its geographical scope and does not fully address the dynamics of contemporary praxis. Therefore, a reconstruction of the Islamic educational system is needed—one that balances the authority of revelation and reason, and fosters a scientific ethos, intellectual freedom, and more transformative scholarly dialogue.

Abstract

This study examines and contextualizes the servant leadership model exemplified by Umar ibn al-Khattab and its application in the management of modern Islamic schools (madrasahs). The research aims to identify key leadership values justice, simplicity, participation, accountability, and exemplary behavior and formulate a practical model for their integration into Islamic Education Management (Manajemen Pendidikan Islam/MPI). Using a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in a naturalistic paradigm, the study combines literature review and case studies conducted in two South Sumatran madrasahs to explore how these values manifest in real-world managerial practices. Data were gathered through library research, participant observation, in depth interviews, and document analysis, with thematic coding and triangulation ensuring the validity of findings. The results reveal that Umar’s leadership principles are operationalized in madrasahs through equitable evaluation policies, modest resource allocation, participatory planning, transparent accountability, and moral role modeling by school leaders. These practices enhance institutional integrity, improve governance efficiency, and strengthen moral-spiritual culture within educational environments. The study contributes theoretically by linking classical Islamic leadership philosophy with contemporary managerial frameworks and practically by offering a values-based model applicable to policy development and leadership training. While the limited sample restricts generalizability, this research lays the groundwork for future studies employing mixed or action research to assess the measurable impact of Umar-inspired leadership on institutional performance. Ultimately, the findings affirm that revitalizing Islamic servant leadership offers a strategic pathway toward ethical, participatory, and sustainable educational governance in the era of Education 5.0.

Abstract

This study analyzes the “good practice” learning model at SD Muhammadiyah Sarilamak through Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus theory to explain how Islamic educational practices cultivate students’ moral and behavioral dispositions. Employing a qualitative descriptive–analytical design, the research integrates observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis to explore how pedagogical programs such as the “One Thousand Daily Infaq,” “Friday Garbage Alms,” “Library Visit,” “Cheerful Friday,” and “Market Day” operationalize the interrelations among habitus, capital, and arena. The findings reveal that teachers act as agents who mobilize cultural, social, and symbolic capital to internalize Islamic virtues through repetitive, embodied practices that shape students’ enduring moral habitus. Theoretically, this study extends Bourdieu’s framework to Islamic education by demonstrating that moral development is a sociocultural process of embodied learning rather than a cognitive transfer of values. Practically, the “good practice” model provides a replicable paradigm for integrating character education into daily school culture, emphasizing community-based, value-oriented learning that supports ethical and social transformation. The study’s limitation lies in its single-site qualitative scope, indicating the need for comparative research across diverse educational settings to assess variations in habitus formation. Overall, this analysis confirms that SD Muhammadiyah Sarilamak’s learning model exemplifies how Islamic education can systematically construct moral subjectivity through the dialectical interaction of habitus, capital, and field, offering both theoretical enrichment and practical insights for moral pedagogy in the 21st century.

Abstract

This study maps the intellectual landscape of service quality research in higher education and traces its shift from a classical service evaluation orientation toward an ecosystem increasingly centered on student experience and digital transformation. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on Scopus metadata related to service quality and higher education. The dataset included 1,887 documents from 770 sources and was analyzed using bibliometrix and Biblioshiny in R Studio. The analysis covered scientific production, citations, publication sources, authors, affiliations, countries, and conceptual mapping through keywords, trend topics, co-word networks, thematic maps, and factorial analysis. The field has developed as an increasingly collaborative and multidisciplinary domain, with strong contributions from Asia, especially India with 145 documents, China with 141, Indonesia with 137, and Malaysia with 105. The most dominant keywords are higher education with 1,092 occurrences and service quality with 904, followed by students with 141 and student satisfaction with 131. Conceptually, the field has shifted from classical service quality evaluation toward student experience, system quality, information quality, e-learning, and increasingly hybrid educational services. Emerging themes such as artificial intelligence, ChatGPT, trust, and student well-being have appeared, but remain fragmented

Abstract

This study aims to examine professional teacher recruitment strategies from the perspectives of Human Resource Management (HRM) and the Qur’an at Madrasah Aliyah Pondok Pesantren Sumber Payung, Sumenep. The study addresses the need for a recruitment model that not only emphasizes managerial effectiveness but also reflects Islamic ethical values. Its main argument is that teacher recruitment in Islamic educational institutions should integrate professional competency standards with Qur’anic principles of justice, responsibility, and trustworthiness. This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four key informants, namely the principal, head of administration, recruitment committee member, and student representative. Participant observation and document analysis were also used to strengthen the data. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis involving open coding, categorization, and interpretation. The findings reveal three main results. First, teacher recruitment practices integrate HRM principles, including workforce planning, competency-based selection, and performance evaluation, although the process is still conducted through a kinship-based system rather than open digital recruitment. Second, Qur’anic values, particularly justice and responsibility as khalifah, serve as ethical foundations in recruitment decision-making. Third, this hybrid recruitment model contributes to teacher professionalism, institutional trust, and student learning outcomes. This study implies that Islamic educational institutions need to develop recruitment systems that combine HRM professionalism with Qur’anic ethical values. However, as a single case study, the findings are context-specific and require further comparative research in other Islamic educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the principal’s strategy as a spiritual leader in selecting human resources with Islamic character and its implications for teacher performance at SMA Plus Al-Azhar Jember. The study is grounded in the importance of character-based human resources as a foundation for improving the quality, integrity, and performance of educational institutions. Its central argument is that teacher recruitment should not only emphasize professional competence, but also moral integrity, Islamic values, and suitability with the school’s vision and mission. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and students; observations of the selection process and teaching practices; and documentation studies of the school’s vision and mission, recruitment policies, and institutional programs. The data were analyzed through coding, categorization, theme identification, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. The findings reveal four main strategies used by the principal as a spiritual leader in selecting human resources with Islamic character. These strategies include establishing Islamic moral indicators as selection criteria, assessing the alignment between candidates’ competencies and values with the school’s vision and mission, implementing an open and merit-based selection procedure, and prioritizing integrity and moral exemplarity in prospective teachers. Empirically, these strategies contribute to the emergence of teachers who are more motivated, disciplined, sincere, responsible, and trusted as role models within the school culture. This study is limited to one Islamic senior high school context, so the findings are not intended for broad generalization. However, the results provide practical insights for principals and Islamic educational institutions in developing character-based HR selection models.

Abstract

The Qur’anic-Hadith Law of Attraction (QHLoA) has gained visibility among urban Indonesian Muslims through seminars, training programs, and digital da’wah that combine Qur’anic verses, hadith, motivational discourse, inner healing, and everyday meaning-making. Existing studies have discussed this phenomenon as personal spirituality, religious motivation, or popular da’wah, while its epistemological implications for Islamic education remain underexplored. Using a qualitative, phenomenologically informed design, this study examines QHLoA practices in Yogyakarta and Semarang through interviews with participants, an alumnus, an organizer, facilitators, and local religious figures, supported by observations of seminars and training sessions and analysis of training and digital da’wah materials. The findings show that QHLoA constructs religious knowledge through the interaction of revelatory texts, inner experience, digital mediation, and practical life orientation. Inner experience functions as both a medium of spiritual internalization and a source through which participants validate the relevance of religious teachings. The study also identifies a tension between QHLoA’s affective-pragmatic appeal and the need for stronger tawhidic orientation, adab formation, and critical reflection. This article contributes to Islamic educational epistemology by showing how revelation, experience, and practical reasoning are negotiated in contemporary Muslim learning spaces. It also argues for reflective pedagogy grounded in theological depth and ethical responsibility

Abstract

This study aims to analyze effective strategies for teaching Indonesian literacy to Thai learners in the Indonesian as a Foreign Language (BIPA) context. The study is motivated by the rapid development of BIPA in Thailand, alongside persistent challenges in students’ reading and writing skills caused by linguistic differences, cultural distance, and limited pedagogical adaptation. The main argument of this study is that Indonesian literacy learning for Thai students requires an integrated approach that combines linguistic competence, communicative practice, and intercultural understanding. This study employed a literature review method within the framework of Second Language Acquisition theory. Relevant studies on BIPA learning, Indonesian literacy, and second language pedagogy were analyzed thematically to identify dominant instructional approaches, their contributions, and the factors influencing their implementation in the Thai educational context. The findings show that genre-based, task-based, and intercultural approaches are the three main strategies used in BIPA literacy learning in Thailand. The genre-based approach supports students’ understanding of text structure and authentic language use. The task-based approach strengthens communicative competence through meaningful learning activities. Meanwhile, the intercultural approach helps learners understand Indonesian language use within its social and cultural contexts. The success of these approaches is influenced by students’ proficiency levels, linguistic differences between Thai and Indonesian, learning culture, availability of bilingual and authentic materials, and teachers’ pedagogical competence. This study implies that BIPA literacy instruction in Thailand should be designed through an integrated literacy strategy combining genre-based, task-based, and intercultural approaches. However, as a literature-based study, the findings are limited to conceptual and secondary data analysis. Further empirical research is needed to test the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in classroom practice.
