Abstract

This study examines the implementation of practical Thaharah assessment within the context of the Merdeka Curriculum at the junior secondary school level. Employing a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design, the research was conducted at MTs An-Nur 1 and MTs An-Nur 3 in Malangbong, Garut. Research subjects included Islamic studies teachers, school principals, and relevant instructional and assessment documents. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña.The findings reveal that the quality of rubric design and the consistency of assessment implementation play a crucial role in enhancing students’ religious practice skills. MTs An-Nur 1 demonstrated a high level of implementation fidelity, with assessments embedded in routine instruction, immediate feedback, and well-documented student portfolios. In contrast, MTs An-Nur 3 conducted assessments in a more administrative and less reflective manner. The success of assessment practices at MTs An-Nur 1 was supported by internal factors such as teacher competence, a strong religious school culture, instructional leadership, and adequate infrastructure. The study concludes that the effectiveness of authentic assessment in religious education depends on three key components: instrument validity, implementation consistency, and a supportive school ecosystem. These findings highlight the importance of community-based collaboration and instructional leadership in transforming assessment into a formative and character-building process, rather than a mere administrative procedure.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of religious extracurricular programs in shaping students’ moral character at two public senior high schools: SMA Negeri 1 Tegalwaru and SMA Negeri 1 Pangkalan Karawang. Using a qualitative approach with a comparative case study design, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that both schools implement adaptive yet distinct program designs: SMA Tegalwaru emphasizes face-to-face approaches based on modeling and habituation, while SMA Pangkalan Karawang integrates digital platforms, preaching projects, and parental collaboration. Character development takes place effectively through mentoring sessions that involve reflective dialogue and emotional student engagement. Key success factors include convergent support from schools, families, and communities, as well as the availability of physical and digital infrastructure. This study proposes the Dynamic Spirituality Development Model, which combines adaptive content delivery, linguistic-ritual value reinforcement, and community-based evaluation. The findings highlight the importance of contextual program design, dialogical mentoring strategies, and ecosystem synergy in strengthening students’ religious character in the digital age.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of differentiated instruction in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) as a strategy to enhance elementary school students’ learning motivation. Employing a classroom action research approach with a mixed-methods design, the research was conducted at SDN Leuwiliang and SDN Pelita, both of which have adopted the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were collected through the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of the instructional process. The findings indicate that learning style-based differentiation strategies such as the use of podcasts for auditory learners and worship practice simulations for kinesthetic learners effectively increased student engagement. Content differentiation through the integration of local culture and tiered assignments also significantly reduced the rate of learning incompleteness. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant improvement in intrinsic goal orientation scores (from μ = 2.1 to μ = 3.4) and self-efficacy (from μ = 2.3 to μ = 3.6), with p < 0.018. The successful implementation was further supported by educational technology, teacher collaboration, and principal-led budgeting policies. These findings affirm that differentiated instruction in IRE not only enhances learning motivation but also fosters a more inclusive and contextualized learning experience. The study recommends the development of technical guidelines, reflective training for IRE teachers, and school policies that are responsive to diverse learning needs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in shaping students’ religious character through Pesantren Kilat (short-term Islamic boarding school programs) in two junior high schools with differing institutional approaches. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and data triangulation (observation, interviews, and documentation), the study reveals that SMPN 50 adopts a massive training model based on rotating modules, while SMP Triyasa employs a small-group mentoring approach. The findings indicate that SMPN 50 excels in the practice of religious rituals, whereas SMP Triyasa is stronger in spiritual internalization. Additionally, four key roles of PAI teachers were identified: spiritual architect, moral model, cultural translator, and ethical coach, all of which contribute significantly to the contextual internalization of religious values. Program evaluation results show an increase in religiosity by 23% at SMPN 50 and 18% at SMP Triyasa, though value retention after six months was higher at SMP Triyasa (85%) than at SMPN 50 (72%). These findings support the theories of deep learning and Resource-Based Pedagogy, which emphasize the importance of interaction quality and strategic adaptation to institutional capacity. The study also proposes a Triaxial Character Development model integrating spiritual, social, and cognitive dimensions as an effective framework for Islamic character education. Practical implications include the development of an adaptive Pesantren Kilat model based on students’ needs and a sustainable system for spiritual evaluation.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Wustha (MDTW) as a strategic effort to develop students’ religious character in two public junior high schools: SMPN 1 and SMPN 3 Rajadesa, Ciamis Regency. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with school principals, MDTW teachers, students, and parents, as well as curriculum documentation analysis. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns of transformation and institutional impact. The findings reveal that MDTW is implemented through a three-layer integration model structural, cultural, and social which effectively supports character development. Students experience a three-phase transformation: cognitive awakening, behavioral internalization, and spiritual actualization. The program led to a 72% decrease in disciplinary violations, a 58% increase in spiritual engagement, and a 65% improvement in conflict resolution skills. Comparative analysis also shows that moral and behavioral outcomes in MDTW schools are significantly better than in schools without similar programs. Despite its success, the implementation of MDTW faces several challenges, including limited funding allocation, uneven management commitment, and student resistance. The study introduces a Spiritual Ecosystem Framework that highlights the importance of curriculum design, environmental support, and stakeholder engagement in sustaining religious education. The study concludes that MDTW is a viable model for moral education in the digital age and recommends national quality standards, teacher training in digital Islamic pedagogy, and holistic spiritual assessment systems.

Abstract

This study aims to explore teachers' strategies in integrating digital learning media to support the achievement of basic competencies in Islamic Education (PAI) at elementary schools. The research focuses on teachers' practices at SDN Cipeundeuy, Bandung Regency, in responding to digital learning challenges amid infrastructure limitations and limited access to technology. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design was employed. Data collection was conducted through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of teaching materials. Data analysis was performed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that IRE teachers actively utilize digital media such as educational videos, quiz applications (Kahoot, Quizizz), and WhatsApp as a medium for distributing learning materials. The use of these media had a positive impact on student engagement and understanding of the material, as indicated by an increase in the average score from 70 to 85. Adaptive strategies were also implemented in the form of hybrid learning and digital-based projects such as infographics on Islamic values. Despite facing challenges related to limited devices and technical competencies, teachers demonstrated increased professionalism through self-directed training and collaboration in Teacher Working Groups (KKG). This study concludes that the integration of digital media can be an effective pedagogical approach in PAI learning, with the proviso that there is ongoing support for infrastructure strengthening and teacher capacity building. This study makes an important contribution to the development of contextual, participatory, and relevant digital-based religious education that meets the needs of the 21st century

Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges faced in implementing the curriculum at the elementary school level, particularly regarding the incompatibility of the curriculum with the learning motivation of students at SDN Bangbayang. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that most of the material in the curriculum has not been fully adapted to the local context, interests, and learning needs of students. This has an impact on the lack of learning motivation, active participation, and student involvement in the learning process. In addition, limited resources and teacher training in implementing the curriculum flexibly are also inhibiting factors. This study recommends the need to adjust the curriculum based on student needs and teacher training so that learning is more contextual and motivating. Thus, it is hoped that a more relevant curriculum can improve the quality of education and encourage students to be more active in learning. This adjustment is also important to create a learning environment that is more inclusive and responsive to student needs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in shaping students’ religious character at MTs An-Nur, Pacet District, Bandung Regency, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. The study is grounded in the recognition of IRE as a strategic instrument for fostering a generation that is faithful, pious, and of noble character amid the challenges of globalization, the influence of digital media, and shifting social values. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Research subjects included IRE teachers, the school principal, students, and parents, selected purposively. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model, which comprises data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation and member checking. The findings indicate that IRE at MTs An-Nur positively contributes to the development of students’ religious character through a curriculum that incorporates Islamic values, teacher role modeling, participatory learning strategies, and a supportive school environment. However, its effectiveness is hindered by the limited integration of religious values into daily life, the influence of social media and popular culture, and the lack of synergy between school, family, and community. The study recommends strategies to enhance the effectiveness of IRE through the integration of Islamic values across all subjects, continuous professional development for IRE teachers, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and the use of technology as a medium for character education.

Abstract

This study examines the efforts of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in fostering students’ religious character through religious extracurricular practices in two high schools with different contexts: SMA Karya Pembangunan 2 (general school) and SMA Muhammadiyah 4 (faith-based school) in Bandung City. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, involving PAI teachers, extracurricular advisors, and active student participants. The findings reveal that SMA Karya Pembangunan 2 adopts a contextual and inclusive approach, integrating religious values with contemporary social issues and promoting tolerance through activities such as interfaith seminars. This model enhances students’ moral reasoning, empathy, and respect for diversity. In contrast, SMA Muhammadiyah 4 emphasizes structured habituation, including daily muhasabah, peer mentoring, and a tahfidz program requiring one juz memorization per year. This approach cultivates discipline, responsibility, and consistency in religious practice.Key supporting factors include stakeholder collaboration, notably in SMA Muhammadiyah 4 through home visit programs involving teachers, parents, and community members. The main challenge in SMA Karya Pembangunan 2 is the variation in students’ religious understanding, requiring differentiated instructional strategies. The study concludes that combining inclusivity with spiritual depth can offer a holistic framework for religious character development, aligning with the Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK) initiative.

Abstract

This study examines the contribution of Majelis Munadhoroh wal Maktabah (M3) to improving the learning motivation of students in Islamic boarding schools, focusing on its implementation at Pondok Pesantren Syaichona Moh. Cholil Bangkalan. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research involved M3 program coordinators, teachers, and actively participating students. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that M3 enhances both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation through active participation, structured classical text (kitab kuning) literacy development, and the cultivation of Islamic values such as humility (tawadhu’) and brotherhood (ukhuwah). Supporting factors include comprehensive library facilities, the STAISyaichona e-Resource digital platform, conducive learning spaces, and strong institutional support. However, sustaining M3’s impact requires consistent facilitation quality, digital literacy training, and continued stakeholder collaboration. The study concludes that M3 represents a hybrid educational model that preserves traditional pesantren scholarship while integrating modern learning innovations, making it a replicable framework for enhancing student motivation in Islamic education.
