Abstract

General Background: Curriculum reform in Indonesia continues to evolve in response to rapid scientific, technological, and societal changes. Specific Background: Within this context, Islamic Religious Education (IRE/PAI) requires systematic refinement to ensure its relevance to students’ spiritual, moral, and intellectual development. Knowledge Gap: However, comprehensive analyses that explain how the PAI curriculum is planned, implemented, and evaluated holistically are still limited, particularly regarding the roles of stakeholders in shaping curriculum quality. Aim: This study aims to critically describe the development process of the Islamic Education curriculum in Indonesia through stages of planning, implementation, and evaluation using a qualitative library research approach. Results: The findings show that effective curriculum development requires clarity of goals, understanding of school conditions, recognition of student and teacher needs, identification of existing problems, assessment of teacher competencies, and awareness of social phenomena. The PAI curriculum is developed based on the pillars of iman, Islam, and ihsan, and its success depends on collaboration among administrators, experts, teachers, and parents. Novelty: This study highlights the interconnectedness of curriculum components and stakeholders in a unified development cycle rarely discussed in prior research. Implications: These insights reinforce the need for continuous, context-responsive curriculum development to strengthen the character and competence of learners. Highlights:   Curriculum development in Islamic Education must align with societal needs and modern educational demands. PAI curriculum pillars—iman, Islam, and ihsan—serve as the foundation for holistic learner development. Stakeholder collaboration (administrators, experts, teachers, parents) is essential for effective curriculum implementation. Keywords: Curriculum Development, Islamic Religious Education, Planning Process, Implementation, Evaluation

Abstract

General Background Character education is a core mandate of Indonesia’s national education system, yet classroom practices often prioritize cognitive achievement over value internalization. Specific Background In Pancasila and Civic Education learning, especially in Lhokseumawe City, teaching remains largely normative and theoretical, with limited integration of students’ socio-cultural realities. Knowledge Gap Although Acehnese local wisdom contains rich ethical teachings, Narit Maja as an oral tradition has not been systematically utilized as contextual teaching material in Civic Education. Aims This study aims to explore the ethical values embedded in Narit Maja and examine their relevance for integration into Pancasila and Civic Education learning. Results Using a descriptive qualitative ethnopedagogical approach, the study identifies values of honesty, deliberation, mutual cooperation, responsibility, and patriotism within Narit Maja that align with the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. The findings also reveal structural and practical challenges, including limited regulations, insufficient documented materials, and institutional sectoral constraints, while highlighting digitalization as a strategic pathway. Novelty This study positions Narit Maja as a culturally grounded source of Civic Education content that bridges national curriculum objectives with Acehnese socio-cultural contexts. Implications Integrating Narit Maja into Civic Education supports contextual character formation, strengthens students’ cultural identity, and offers a sustainable approach to aligning national character education with local wisdom in Lhokseumawe City. Highlights: Acehnese oral expressions contain structured ethical principles aligned with national character frameworks. Contextual learning rooted in local culture addresses gaps between normative curriculum and student realities. Digital-based materials provide a feasible pathway for preserving oral traditions in formal schooling contexts. Keywords: Narit Maja, Civic Education, Character Education.

Abstract

General Background Inclusive education has emerged as a global commitment to educational equity, requiring institutions to accommodate learners with diverse abilities. Specific Background Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia occupy a strategic position in advancing this agenda due to the central authority of kyai leadership, yet empirical evidence on how such leadership operates within inclusive pesantren remains limited. Knowledge Gap Existing studies largely focus on formal schooling or pesantren traditions and curricula, leaving kyai leadership dynamics in inclusive Islamic education underexplored. Aims This study aims to analyze how kyai leadership shapes and sustains inclusive education at Pondok Pesantren Inklusi Nurul Maksum in Semarang, Indonesia. Results Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach involving interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, the findings show that inclusive education is sustained through a layered leadership configuration encompassing transformational, charismatic, and collective leadership. Transformational leadership embeds inclusivity as an institutional vision, charismatic leadership provides moral legitimacy and social acceptance, and collective leadership operationalizes inclusive practices through collaboration and shared responsibility. Novelty The study demonstrates that sustainable inclusive Islamic education is not reliant on individual authority alone but on the institutionalization of leadership practices integrating spiritual values, symbolic authority, and participatory governance. Implications These findings contribute theoretically to Islamic educational leadership studies and offer practical insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking sustainable inclusive education models within faith-based institutions. Highlights: • Kyai leadership integrates transformational, charismatic, and collective dimensions to sustain inclusive education• Moral legitimacy and collaboration reduce resistance to inclusive practices in Islamic boarding schools• Inclusive education succeeds when leadership v Keywords: Kyai Leadership, Inclusive Education, Islamic Boarding Schools, Transformational Leadership, Collective Leadership

Abstract

General Background Indonesia’s social and religious plurality requires Islamic education models that cultivate not only individual piety but also moderate and inclusive religious attitudes from the primary level. Specific Background Islamic primary education grounded in Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) values has been practiced at SD Islam Permatasari Mijen Semarang through an integrated educational approach aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. Knowledge Gap Empirical studies examining how integrated Aswaja-based education operates at the primary school level and shapes students’ religious moderation remain limited. Aims This study aims to analyze the implementation of integrated religious education based on Aswaja values in strengthening religious moderation among primary school students. Results Using a qualitative case study design, the findings show that Aswaja values—tawassuth, tasamuh, tawazun, i‘tidal, and ta’awun—are internalized through classroom learning, religious habituation, and school culture. These practices foster tolerant, fair, non-exclusive, and socially responsive religious attitudes among students. Novelty The study demonstrates a structured model of integrated Aswaja-based education at the primary level that embeds religious moderation as lived practice rather than abstract doctrine. Implications The findings suggest that integrated Islamic education rooted in moderate religious traditions can serve as a foundational mechanism for character formation and social harmony within pluralistic societies. Highlights: Aswaja principles are internalized through the synergy of learning activities, habituation, and school culture. Students demonstrate tolerant and non-exclusive religious attitudes shaped by daily educational practices. Integrated religious education operates as a consistent character formation system at the primary level.

Abstract

General Background: Academic hope and psychological resilience are central constructs in positive psychology that support students’ adaptation and goal attainment in higher education. Specific Background: University students frequently encounter academic pressures that require cognitive motivation and emotional regulation to sustain performance. Knowledge Gap: Although both constructs are widely studied, limited empirical research has examined their relationship within the context of Iraqi university students. Aim: This study aimed to identify levels of academic hope and psychological resilience and examine their correlational relationship among university students. Results: Using a descriptive correlational design with a stratified random sample of 400 students, findings indicated that students demonstrated high levels of academic hope and psychological resilience, with no significant gender differences in either variable. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between academic hope and psychological resilience. Novelty: The study provides empirical evidence from an Iraqi university context using validated psychometric scales grounded in Snyder’s and Grotberg’s theoretical frameworks. Implications: The findings suggest that fostering academic hope alongside psychological resilience may support students’ academic persistence and psychological well-being in higher education settings. Highlights: University students demonstrate high academic hope and resilience. No significant gender differences were identified. Academic hope is positively correlated with psychological resilience. Keywords: Academic Hope; Psychological Resilience; University Students; Positive Psychology; Higher Education

Abstract

General Background: Musculoskeletal deformities in early childhood may limit physical performance and participation in school activities. Specific Background: Genu varum (bow legs) in primary school pupils often causes discomfort, restricted movement, and reduced engagement in physical education. Knowledge Gap: Limited school-based rehabilitative programs have been systematically implemented and evaluated for young children with this condition. Aim: This study aimed to determine the outcomes of a structured eight-week rehabilitative exercise program with assistive tools for primary school pupils aged 6–7 years diagnosed with genu varum. Results: Findings indicated statistically significant reductions in knee and heel distance measurements, accompanied by improvements in speed and agility test scores across pre-, intermediate, and post-tests. Novelty: The study introduces a structured, school-context rehabilitation model integrating assistive tools with progressive corrective exercises tailored to young pupils. Implications: The program may serve as a practical framework for early detection and corrective intervention within primary school and community health settings. Highlights: Structured 8-week corrective exercise program for ages 6–7. Significant reduction in knee and heel distance measurements. Measurable improvements in speed and agility performance.

Abstract

General Background: Psychological factors play a central role in athletic performance, particularly in individual sports requiring high personal responsibility. Specific Background: Perceived self-efficacy and psychological resilience are considered core constructs in sport psychology, yet empirical examination among track and field athletes in Iraq remains limited. Knowledge Gap: Few studies have constructed validated measurement tools tailored to this population while simultaneously examining the predictive relationship between these two psychological variables. Aims: This study aimed to develop and validate scales for perceived self-efficacy and psychological resilience and to examine their correlational and predictive relationship among Iraqi Athletics League athletes (2023–2024). Results: Findings revealed high levels of perceived self-efficacy (M = 136.312) and psychological resilience (M = 173.517), with a significant positive correlation (r = 0.661, p < 0.05). Regression analysis indicated that psychological resilience significantly predicts perceived self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy = 17.526 + 0.232 × Resilience). Novelty: The study provides newly validated sport-specific scales and empirical evidence of a predictive psychological model in track and field athletes. Implications: Integrating structured psychological preparation programs into athletic training is recommended to support performance stability and competitive readiness. Highlights: High levels of self-efficacy and resilience were identified among athletes. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.661) was confirmed. Psychological resilience significantly predicts perceived self-efficacy. Keywords: Perceived Self-Efficacy; Psychological Resilience; Track and Field; Sport Psychology; Regression Analysis
