Abstract

The study aims to determine the following: (1) the effect of the At-Tartil method on students' ability to read and write the Al-Qur'an, (2) the effect of teacher coaching on students' ability to read and write the Al-Qur'an, and (3) the simultaneous effect of the At-Tartil method and teacher coaching on students' ability to read and write the Al-Qur'an at TPA Al-Musyarrof in Bantengan Village, Madiun Regency. The research method is a descriptive quantitative Correlational Survey design. The study population consisted of 280 active students and 15 teachers. A total of 55 respondents were sampled (40 students and 15 teachers). Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation. Data were analyzed in several stages, including a descriptive statistics test, a normality test, a linearity test, a one-sample t-test, and a multiple linear regression test. The results showed the following: (1) The At-Tartil Method significantly improves the ability to read and write the Quran, with an average score of 87.98 and a significance level of 0.000. (2) Teacher coaching also significantly improves the ability to read and write the Quran, with an average score of 87.07 and a significance level of 0.000. (3) The partial regression coefficient test results show that neither the At-Tartil Method (sig. 0.489) nor teacher coaching (sig. 0.413) have a significant individual effect, as both are greater than 0.05. The collinearity statistics test results show tolerance and VIF values of 1.000, indicating an absence of multicollinearity symptoms between the independent variables. Together, the method and coaching have not been able to explain the variation in students' abilities as a whole. A more integrated approach is needed that considers factors such as students' cognitive readiness and the support of their learning environment.

Abstract

Issues of low self-confidence and weak critical thinking skills—such as fear of asking questions, hesitation to share opinions, and difficulty analyzing information—are still common among students. These problems can hinder learning and personal development. Teacher role modeling is considered an effective approach to strengthen these characters, especially in Islamic Religious Education (PAI), where character formation aligns with Islamic values. This study aims to examine: (1) the development of self-confidence and critical thinking at SDN 2 Karanggebang; (2) the forms of teacher role modeling in PAI classes; and (3) supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation.This qualitative descriptive research collected data through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed them inductively to identify patterns and draw conclusions.Findings show that self-confidence at the school is developed in three aspects: behavioral, emotional, and spiritual. Critical thinking is strengthened through students’ ability to give simple explanations, build basic reasoning skills, and draw conclusions. Teacher role modeling appears in three forms: qudwah al-‘ibadah, which fosters spiritual confidence and basic critical explanation; qudwah al-karimah, which shapes behavioral confidence and deeper critical thinking; and qudwah syaja’ah, which builds emotional confidence. Supporting factors include teacher consistency, a positive school environment, and support from parents and the community. Inhibiting factors include limited personal interaction time, a content-heavy curriculum, and the long process needed to shape character.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of habituation and role-modeling methods in shaping the religious character of students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Mambaul Huda, Panggung Barat, Magetan. The research focuses on three main objectives: describing the implementation of habituation methods, explaining the application of role-modeling practices, and identifying supporting and inhibiting factors in the formation of students’ religious character. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the principal, Islamic education teachers, and students as research participants. Data analysis was conducted through data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the habituation method is systematically implemented through daily religious activities such as Qur’an recitation, congregational prayers, memorization of short surahs and Asmaul Husna, as well as weekly and incidental religious programs including istighosah, tahlil, and Islamic holy day commemorations. These activities foster consistent religious behavior among students. Furthermore, the role-modeling method is applied through both intentional and unintentional examples demonstrated by teachers in worship practices, discipline, manners, and moral conduct. Teachers serve as concrete role models, supported by character control books and routine supervision by the madrasah. Supporting factors include strong commitment from school leadership and teachers, a religious school culture, structured programs, and a supportive environment. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include diverse student backgrounds and limited facilities and human resources. Overall, the habituation and role-modeling methods are implemented comprehensively and sustainably in developing students’ religious character.

Abstract

Children’s social skills are essential for developing the ability to interact, cooperate, follow rules, and respect others. This study aimed to determine the effect of the traditional bola bekel game on the social skills of Group B children at TK Negeri Pembina Samporoa. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. Data were collected through observations conducted before and after the intervention and analyzed using descriptive percentages and a paired t-test. The results showed that the proportion of children categorized as Very Well Developed increased from 0% to 38.33%, while the Developed as Expected category increased from 25% to 40%. Conversely, the Beginning to Develop category decreased from 48.33% to 21.66%, and the Not Yet Developed category declined from 26.66% to 0%. The hypothesis test produced a calculated t-value of 16.185, which was higher than the t-table value of 1.782 (16.185 > 1.782). These findings indicate that the traditional bola bekel game had a significant positive effect on children’s social skills. Therefore, bola bekel can be used as a meaningful play activity to improve cooperation, interaction, rule-following, and respect among kindergarten children.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between toxic parenting and the emotional behavior of early childhood in Group B of TK Alkhairaat 1 Kaleke, Dolo Barat District, Sigi Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research subjects consisted of 15 children and their parents, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations of children's emotional behavior, which included aspects of independence, self-confidence, and helping behavior toward peers. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed that the correlation coefficient was 0.552 with a significance value of 0.033 (< 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between toxic parenting and children's emotional behavior. The level of correlation was categorized as moderate. In addition, observational results indicated an improvement in children's emotional behavior from the first week to the second week, influenced by adaptation processes and stimulation from the school environment. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that toxic parenting is significantly related to the emotional behavior of early childhood. Therefore, parents are encouraged to apply positive parenting styles to support optimal emotional development in children.
