Abstract

The ability to develop Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions is a critical competency emphasized in the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the elementary level. However, the literacy of PAI teachers in designing HOTS questions remains low in the Simeulue Tengah District. This study aims to assess PAI teachers' literacy in formulating HOTS questions, their participation in Teacher Working Groups (KKG), and the main barriers to effective KKG utilization. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using both open- and close-ended questionnaires distributed to 12 PAI teachers from 10 elementary schools. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that although 66.7% of teachers found the KKG beneficial for developing HOTS questions, participation levels were low: 58% rarely attended KKG activities, and only 25% felt significantly supported. The main barriers identified include time constraints due to workload and household responsibilities, minimal support from principals and supervisors, limited access to resources such as digital media and contextual teaching materials, low teacher awareness of the benefits of KKG, and training sessions that are often too theoretical and lack contextual relevance. To optimize the effectiveness of KKG, training must be more practical and context-based, with sustained pedagogical discussions and stronger institutional support. Strengthening the role of KKG is essential for enhancing PAI teachers’ capacity to develop HOTS questions and, ultimately, to improve the quality of religious education.

Abstract

An effective learning process requires an approach that accommodates the diversity of student learning styles, including those with high intellectual intelligence (IQ) who may not yet recognize their optimal way of learning. Each individual has a different way of absorbing, processing, and storing information, making the understanding of learning styles a crucial aspect in education. This study aims to identify effective learning styles, particularly for students with high intellectual intelligence (IQ) who have not yet understood their appropriate learning style, and to analyze various factors that influence learning success. This research uses a library research method by analyzing recent scientific literature. The findings indicate that visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles can all enhance learning effectiveness when integrated with appropriate teaching strategies, high learning motivation, and a conducive learning environment. Teachers play a central role in recognizing student characteristics and adapting their teaching approach accordingly. Understanding learning styles not only impacts academic achievement but also creates a more personalized, inclusive, and adaptive learning atmosphere. This study highlights the importance of a holistic approach in education, involving the interconnection between learning styles, intellectual potential, teaching strategies, and the learning environment to realise a higher-quality education system that is responsive to each learner's needs. This research contributes a novel perspective by focusing on the group of high-IQ students and advocating for the integration of individualized learning styles into classroom practice to achieve a more inclusive, adaptive, and high-quality education system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the trends and directions of research on innovation in Islamic education using a bibliometric approach based on publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) from 2006 to mid-2025. The methods employed include citation analysis, collaborative network analysis, and keyword mapping using VOSviewer software. The results show a significant increase in the number of publications and citations since 2012, with a peak in 2018 and the highest citation surge occurring in 2024. Al-Jami'ah: Journal of Islamic Studies, the author Abdullah, and an article focusing on Islamic higher education in Indonesia emerged as the most influential. In addition, Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta was identified as the most cited institution. In terms of collaboration, strong national author networks were identified, although international collaboration remains limited. Keyword analysis revealed the dominance of the theme “Islamic education” and its connection to contemporary issues such as sustainability, environment, and 21st-century competencies. The study concludes that although innovation in Islamic education is gaining increasing global attention, there remains significant potential to strengthen cross-national and interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the future impact and relevance of the field.

Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has increased teenagers’ access to information and entertainment but also poses serious challenges to morality, such as the rise of online gambling among adolescents. This study analyzes the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in developing students’ moral resilience to prevent online gambling behavior and examines preventive strategies implemented in madrasah. This qualitative research employed a case study at MTsN 1 Aceh Selatan, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Data were thematically analyzed using source and method triangulation to enhance validity. The findings reveal that PAI teachers actively integrate Islamic values, Quranic and Hadith principles, and current issues into the learning process. Furthermore, the madrasah applies collaborative policies such as parental involvement, supervision of gadget usage, and character development through religious activities. The integration of religious values in PAI learning and collaborative madrasah policies is proven effective in building students’ moral resilience and preventing involvement in online gambling. These findings contribute to the development of religious-based character education models relevant in the digital era and may serve as a practical reference for other schools in developing strategies to prevent online gambling among teenagers.

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve students’ learning outcomes and engagement in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) through the integration of Wordwall-based digital media and the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) cooperative learning model. Conducted at SD Negeri Lambada Klieng, Aceh Besar, during the 2024/2025 academic year, the study involved 25 fifth-grade students and followed the Kemmis and McTaggart (1998) spiral model consisting of two cycles with stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ performance and participation, as indicated by the increase in average scores from 68.4 in Cycle I to 91.2 in Cycle II and in classical mastery from 44% to 96.7%. Students also displayed greater motivation, collaboration, and confidence in expressing ideas. The integration of Wordwall and TSTS created an engaging, interactive, and reflective learning atmosphere that enhanced both cognitive achievement and affective development. This study concludes that combining Wordwall with TSTS effectively supports meaningful and student-centered learning in Islamic Religious Education, aligning with social constructivist principles, and is recommended as an innovative pedagogical strategy to enhance learning effectiveness in elementary schools.

Abstract

Game-Based Learning (GBL) is an innovative learning approach that integrates game elements into the learning process to increase student motivation, active participation, and learning outcomes. Amidst the acceleration of digital transformation, the application of GBL in Asian countries shows diverse developments, but has not been fully mapped scientifically. The main issues raised in this study are how publication trends, collaboration patterns, and thematic focuses of GBL research have developed in the context of education in Asia during 2010–2025. The research questions include: (1) to what extent is the productivity of GBL publications in the Asian region; (2) how is the structure of collaboration between researchers and institutions; and (3) what topics are the dominant focus and future research directions. This study uses a bibliometric approach with the PRISMA method and visualization using VOSviewer based on Scopus data. A total of 170 documents selected from five countries Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, and India-were analyzed to examine trends, distribution, and keyword co-occurrence. The results show that Indonesia and Hong Kong are the most productive countries, with significant contributions from The Education University of Hong Kong and Malang State University. Cluster analysis identified four main focuses: (1) the development of game-based learning technologies and concepts; (2) learning systems and participants; (3) psychological and cognitive aspects; and (4) specific methodologies and contexts such as virtual reality and language learning. The latest findings highlight a shift in research direction towards strengthening critical thinking, educational technology, and contrastive learning, which signals the evolution of GBL from a mere learning medium to a comprehensive strategy for shaping 21st-century skills. This research makes an important contribution to mapping the development of GBL in Asia and provides a basis for future technology-based education policies.
