Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness and mechanisms of the Fifteen-Minute Qur’anic Literacy Program (LIMIT) implemented in elementary madrasahs of Krueng Sabee District, Aceh Jaya, Indonesia. Designed to address low Qur’anic reading proficiency among young learners, the study employed a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative pre–post testing (n = 90; 30 per school) and qualitative interviews, observations, and document analyses. Results revealed significant improvements across all literacy components—tartīl, tajwīd, makharij, and adab—with p < .001 and a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.4). The fidelity index reached 86.7%, with time-on-task consistency (94%) and parent involvement (78%). Qualitative mapping identified five core drivers of success: 15-minute micro-timing, certified teacher-models, peer-tutoring loops, parental reinforcement, and data-driven monitoring. LIMIT proved to be a low-cost, high-impact intervention, requiring only Rp 3,200 per student annually, and demonstrated high social acceptance (M = 4.6/5). The findings contribute an integrative micro-intervention framework for Qur’anic literacy that is effective, efficient, and replicable within Islamic elementary education

Abstract

instruction in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) and analyze its impact on students’ higher-order thinking skills at SMA Negeri 1 Tenggarong. The background of this research arises from the prevalence of surface learning practices in IRE, which emphasize rote memorization and fail to foster 21st-century skills such as critical, analytical, evaluative, and creative thinking. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The participants consisted of IRE teachers, students, parents, and school administrators selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, higher order thinking skills (HOTS) tests, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model involving data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed a transformation from memorization-based learning toward deeper understanding through case analysis, behavioral evaluation, and authentic projects such as Islamic-themed videos and podcasts. Students demonstrated improvement in higher-order thinking by linking Qur’anic verses and Hadith to contemporary issues like digital ethics and intolerance. This study concludes that deep learning is an effective instructional model to enhance students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor competencies and can serve as a strategic approach for realizing the “Pancasila Student Profile” in the context of 21st-century Islamic education.

Abstract

The development of an innovative Islamic Education (PAI) curriculum has become an urgent need in responding to the challenges of 21st-century learning, particularly in state Islamic senior high schools that are required to integrate Islamic values, technology, and character education. This study aims to develop an innovative ADDIE-based Islamic Education curriculum development model for teachers in Innovative State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri) in Aceh Province. This research employed a mixed-methods approach by combining qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, while quantitative data were obtained through expert validation and teacher practicality tests. The needs analysis revealed a significant gap between the ideal curriculum design and classroom practices, especially in terms of instructional innovation, technology integration, and character strengthening. The design and development stages resulted in an innovative Islamic Education curriculum module that is student-centered, integrative, contextual, and grounded in Islamic values. Expert validation results indicated a very high level of feasibility, with average scores ranging from 91% to 93% across content, language, and graphical aspects. The implementation of the model in three madrasahs demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing teachers’ creativity, increasing students’ learning motivation, and improving the relevance of learning materials to real-life contexts. This study concludes that the ADDIE-based Islamic Education curriculum model is valid, practical, and effective. The findings imply that the model can be scaled up through systematic professional development programs for Islamic Education teachers and supported by educational policies that promote curriculum innovation grounded in Islamic values.

Abstract

Productive waqf management has emerged as a strategic mechanism to bolster the financial sustainability of Islamic educational institutions amid growing competitive and global pressures. This study aims to examine how Islamic values are integrated into the management of productive waqf and how such integration contributes to institutional self-reliance. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from selected Islamic educational institutions that actively manage productive waqf through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using an interactive model adapted from Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that core Islamic values amanah (trustworthiness), ‘adl (justice), ikhlas (sincerity), and mas’uliyyah (responsibility) are systematically embedded across planning, implementation, and evaluation phases of waqf projects. These values function as ethical mechanisms that enhance transparency, professionalism, and public trust, thereby reinforcing institutions’ financial resilience and social legitimacy. Enablers of value integration included religio-centric leadership, sharia-compliant regulatory frameworks, and organizational cultures rooted in religious commitment; primary barriers comprised uneven managerial capacity, limited public literacy on waqf, and insufficient digitalization of management systems. The study proposes an integrative conceptual model that synthesizes spiritual, ethical, and professional dimensions of productive waqf governance. Implications for practice include targeted capacity building for nazhir (waqf managers), adoption of digital reporting systems, and public literacy programs to maximize waqf impact. This research contributes empirically and conceptually to the literature on Islamic philanthropic governance and offers actionable recommendations for policymakers and practitioners.

Abstract

Environmental degradation and the increasing frequency of ecological disasters highlight the urgency of integrating religious values into environmental awareness initiatives. Islamic ecotheology offers a theological framework that emphasizes human responsibility as khalīfat Allāh fī al-arḍ (stewards of the earth). This study aims to examine the process and outcomes of mainstreaming Islamic ecotheology in restoring santri’s environmental awareness at Pondok Pesantren Sumber Pendidikan Mental Agama Allah (SPMAA), Lamongan, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design, this study involved pesantren stakeholders, santri, and the surrounding community through focus group discussions, educational sessions, media campaigns, and collective environmental actions. The findings indicate that the participatory internalization of Islamic ecotheological values successfully enhanced santri’s ecological awareness, both conceptually and practically. This process resulted in the formulation of green fiqh concepts, the implementation of green da’wah through digital media, and concrete environmental actions within the pesantren. The study contributes to Islamic educational discourse by demonstrating that participatory-based ecotheological approaches can effectively position pesantren as agents of environmental transformation and disaster awareness within grassroots communities.

Abstract

The increasing challenges of religious intolerance in plural societies highlight the strategic role of Islamic educational institutions in shaping inclusive religious identities. Pesantren, as one of the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, place the kiai at the center of religious, moral, and social guidance for santri. As authoritative figures, kiai function not only as religious teachers but also as socialization agents who influence how santri perceive and respond to diversity. This study aims to analyze the role of kiai as socialization agents in shaping santri identity to foster tolerance within the context of social and religious diversity. This research employs a library research method by critically reviewing scholarly articles, books, and peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus and other reputable databases published between 2020 and 2025. Data were collected through systematic searches using relevant keywords related to religious leadership, identity formation, tolerance education, pesantren, and Islamic moderation. The selected literature was analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify key themes, theoretical frameworks, and empirical findings related to the role of kiai in promoting tolerance. The findings indicate that kiai play a pivotal role in constructing santri identity through processes of value internalization, role modeling, and institutionalization of moderate Islamic teachings. Through continuous interaction, exemplary behavior, and authoritative interpretation of religious texts, kiai successfully cultivate inclusive attitudes among santri toward interfaith and social diversity. The study also reveals that pesantren function as effective socialization spaces where tolerance is embedded as a lived practice rather than merely a normative concept. These findings imply that strengthening the role of kiai in promoting religious moderation is essential for sustaining social harmony in pluralistic societies.
