Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Quantum Reading method as an instructional innovation for improving reading comprehension among fifth-grade students at SDN Karangduren 01 Balung Jember, Indonesia. The research was motivated by students' low reading literacy, limited ability to identify main ideas, weak reading fluency, and the dominance of teacher-centered reading instruction. Using an explanatory mixed-methods design with a one-group pretest-posttest model supported by qualitative inquiry, this study involved 19 fifth-grade students, one classroom teacher, and the school principal. Quantitative data were obtained through a reading comprehension test, while qualitative data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation. The intervention was conducted in four meetings using seven stages of Quantum Reading: recognition, assimilation, intra-integration, extra-integration, storage, recall, and communication. The findings indicate a substantial improvement in students' reading outcomes: the mean score increased from 66.84 to 86.32, learning mastery rose from 36.84% to 94.74%, and the normalized gain reached 0.59, which falls into the moderate category. Qualitative findings show that students became more motivated, confident, focused, and able to connect reading texts with their daily experiences. From an Islamic educational perspective, Quantum Reading is pedagogically relevant because it supports meaningful learning, active engagement with knowledge, the cultivation of learning adab, and the holistic development of students' cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual potential. This study contributes to literacy learning by demonstrating that reading instruction can be improved through joyful, multisensory, contextual, and value-oriented classroom practices in elementary education.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the ethical crisis and declining integrity in contemporary leadership practices, particularly within educational and organizational contexts. The research aims to examine the concept of Islamic leadership in Taj al-Salatin and analyze its relevance to contemporary Islamic educational leadership through the perspective of spiritual leadership theory. This study employs a qualitative library research design using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. A total of 30 academic sources, including journal articles, books, and relevant scholarly publications, were systematically analyzed through thematic coding techniques consisting of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to identify the core dimensions of leadership values in Taj al-Salatin. The findings reveal that the leadership values in Taj al-Salatin can be integrated with contemporary spiritual leadership theory through six principal dimensions: transcendence, morality and personal character, justice and trustworthiness, governance ethics, spiritual development, and leadership succession. The novelty of this study lies in constructing an integrative conceptual framework that bridges classical Islamic leadership values with modern spiritual leadership discourse within the context of Islamic educational leadership. The study contributes theoretically to the development of Islamic educational leadership studies and practically offers an ethical-spiritual leadership model applicable in Islamic educational institutions and contemporary organizations in addressing moral, ethical, and integrity crises.

Abstract

Education in Indonesia continues to face complex challenges related to policy inconsistency, unequal access, curriculum implementation, infrastructure gaps, and character formation. In the context of Islamic education, these issues are important because education is expected not only to develop knowledge and skills but also to cultivate moral, spiritual, and social values. This study aims to explore prospective teachers' perspectives on the condition of Indonesian education through photovoice and to examine its implications for Islamic education practice and character formation. This study employed a participatory qualitative approach using photovoice. The participants were 25 prospective teachers from four higher education institutions: 7 students from Al-Qur'an Science University Wonosobo, 8 students from Sebelas Maret University Surakarta, 5 students from the University of Muhammadiyah Lampung, and 5 students from the Open University. Data were collected through selected photographs, written narratives, and focus group discussions and were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal three main themes: prospective teachers' criticism of unstable and less effective educational policies, educational inequality in facilities, technology, and learning opportunities, and the need to strengthen character-oriented education. Viewed from the perspective of Islamic education, these findings indicate that educational practice should be more equitable, values-oriented, and responsive to learners' moral and spiritual development. This study suggests that Islamic education in Indonesia needs to strengthen value-based learning, improve access to quality education, and integrate Islamic moral values into character-formation practices.

Abstract

Studi ini menjelaskan pentingnya model kursus bahasa Arab nonformal KUBA bagi pembelajar dewasa yang membutuhkan kompetensi fungsional untuk praktik keagamaan dan komunikasi sehari-hari. Studi ini juga menganalisis bagaimana KUBA merancang dan mengoperasikan ekosistem pembelajaran multi-kanal dengan tetap menjaga keterpaduan antar-kanal. Penelitian ini menggunakan analisis dokumen kualitatif terhadap deskripsi program dan level, unit tematik, materi digital, slide audio-video interaktif, instruksi latihan dan tugas, kuis unit, proyek level, serta artefak platform seperti LMS, situs web, dan media sosial. Data dikodekan secara tematik dan ditafsirkan melalui kerangka IMTĀ’ untuk menghubungkan tujuan, materi, strategi, media, dan asesmen. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa KUBA menstandarkan materi melalui seri Al-‘Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk, menerapkan orientasi komunikatif dengan pembatasan terjemahan, serta menggunakan multimodal scaffolding untuk membantu pemahaman. Asesmen disusun dalam tiga lapisan, yaitu kuis unit, ujian tengah dan akhir level, serta proyek berbasis kinerja yang mengintegrasikan berbagai keterampilan. Namun, artefak yang tersedia belum menunjukkan pelacakan hasil belajar berbasis tes standar atau bukti longitudinal. Karena itu, kesimpulan studi ini menjelaskan logika desain dan operasional, bukan dampak belajar. Keterbatasan data dokumenter menuntut penelitian lanjutan melalui observasi, wawancara, learning analytics, dan pengukuran kemahiran longitudinal.

Abstract

The persistence of child beggars in Lhokseumawe City indicates that child protection and social welfare measures mandated by Aceh Qanun Number 11 of 2013 have not been implemented optimally. This study analyzes the implementation of the Qanun in protecting and handling child beggars and identifies the obstacles affecting its implementation. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed in Lhokseumawe City. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving nine informants from the Social Affairs Office, the Civil Service Police Unit and Wilayatul Hisbah, a social foundation, community members, and child beggars. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing using the policy implementation dimensions of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings show that the policy has been implemented through inter-agency coordination, street enforcement, data collection, guidance, social and religious advice, and repatriation to families or areas of origin. However, implementation remains oriented toward temporary enforcement rather than continuous rehabilitation. Public socialization is limited, the shelter is no longer functioning, facilities and operational budgets are inadequate, and sustainable empowerment programs are unavailable. Child beggars also tend to return to begging because of economic pressure, habitual behavior, peer influence, easy income, and continuing donations from the public. Strengthening budgets, shelters, rehabilitation, family assistance, and sustained public education is therefore required.

Abstract

Educational globalisation challenges traditional Islamic educational institutions to modernise their management while preserving religious identity, cultural traditions, and social legitimacy. Existing studies often frame pesantren adaptation as either modernisation or preservation, offering limited insight into how both are selectively negotiated within institutional management. This qualitative case study examines how Pondok Pesantren Al-Luqmaniyyah Yogyakarta responds to educational globalisation while sustaining local wisdom, internal cohesion, and external legitimacy through the perspective of maqasid al-shariah. Data were collected from 17 purposively selected informants, including institutional leaders, administrators, ustaz, santri, alumni, and community leaders, and supplemented by observations and institutional documents. The data were analysed thematically and subsequently interpreted using a maqasid al-shariah framework. The findings reveal three interconnected patterns: selective modernisation through improved planning, organisational management, and digital administration; preservation of local wisdom through musyawarah, collective responsibility, respect for teachers, simplicity, and community service; and a maqasid-oriented managerial orientation reflected in religious learning, intellectual development, student welfare, character formation, and resource accountability. However, these practices demonstrate interpretive alignment with maqasid al-shariah rather than empirical evidence of achieved maqasid outcomes. The study proposes a contextual value-filtered management model showing how pesantren can adopt contemporary managerial practices while maintaining institutional identity, ethical commitments, and public benefit.

Abstract

Qur’anic reading programs require not only appropriate instructional methods but also clear implementation standards, consistent teacher decisions, and adequate evidence of student progress. Previous studies on the Iqra’ method have largely focused on instructional implementation and reading outcomes, At the same time, limited attention has been given to whether program implementation conforms to explicit institutional standards across different stages of evaluation. This study employed an evaluative qualitative case-study design at LPQ AMM Yogyakarta using Provus’s Discrepancy Evaluation Model as the primary analytical framework. Fifteen informants participated, comprising one program coordinator, seven instructional personnel consisting of supervisors and teachers, and seven students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis and were compared across the design, installation, process, and product stages. The findings indicate partial conformity between program expectations and implementation. At the design stage, the program had a clear graduation target but lacked measurable indicators for CBSA, correction, repetition, and promotion. At the installation stage, training, syahadah certification, and supervision were available, although teacher calibration remained incomplete. At the process stage, guided self-correction and direct correction were both used without a uniform decision rule. At the product stage, progress books supported monitoring and promotion decisions but did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate improvement in Qur’anic reading ability or a causal effect of CBSA. These findings suggest that program improvement should prioritise measurable CBSA indicators, shared correction protocols, teacher calibration, and more detailed progress records.

Abstract

Environmental education in schools often emphasizes physical greening and routine behavior while giving insufficient attention to ecological awareness as a process of spiritual and character formation. Previous green-school studies have examined program implementation and observable environmental practices, leaving limited empirical explanation of how Islamic theological values are translated into pedagogical practices and internalized as students' ecological character. This study examined the integration of Islamic ecopedagogy and eco-spiritual character education at SMP Citra Alam Gunungkidul. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from eight purposively selected informants through semi-structured interviews, classroom and schoolyard observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model through condensation, coding, categorization, thematic synthesis, and framework construction. The findings revealed that tawḥīd functioned as the central framework connecting ecological knowledge and nature-based experiences as a form of amānah, shukr, and khalīfah responsibility. This process operated through six interconnected elements: tawḥīd as a value foundation, ecological literacy, nature-based learning, ecological habituation, teacher role modeling, and spiritual reflection. Together, these elements formed an interpretive Eco-Spiritual Character education framework. The study implies that Islamic environmental education should integrate theological meaning, ecological experience, consistent habituation, teacher modeling, and structured reflection into curriculum design and school environmental programs.

Abstract

Teacher burnout is a growing concern because prolonged occupational demands can weaken emotional resources, professional commitment, and well-being. This issue is especially relevant for Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers, who also carry moral responsibilities for students’ religious character development. Yet, limited research explains how these subject-specific responsibilities relate to spiritual coping. This study used an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design involving 215 IRE teachers from public senior high schools and vocational schools in East Java, Indonesia. Participants were recruited through network-based non-probability sampling via professional teacher networks and MGMP communities. Quantitative data assessed emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA), followed by interviews with 12 teachers from the high-EE group. Results showed that 42.3% of participants had high EE and 42.8% had low PA, indicating substantial emotional depletion and reduced professional accomplishment among teachers in the participating network. Qualitative findings identified tawakkul as cognitive reappraisal, dhikr and shalat as emotional regulation, and sabr as pedagogical endurance. These practices supported meaning and professional commitment but did not remove occupational strain. Spiritual coping should therefore complement organisational interventions, including manageable workloads, supportive leadership, and clearer professional roles, to promote teacher well-being.
