Abstract

This study aims to identify Islamic educational values within the marriage traditions of the Javanese, Banjar, and Bugis ethnic groups in Indonesia, which are rich in culture and local wisdom passed down through generations. A systematic literature review was conducted using accredited articles published between 2017 and 2023, collected from Google Scholar, Harzing's Publish or Perish, and Publish Media. The researchers initially gathered 20 articles, which were then analyzed and synthesized, resulting in 7 articles that met the criteria and were relevant to the research questions. Based on the analysis and literature review, several conclusions can be drawn. First, the marriage traditions of the Javanese (such as ngelamar, nontoni, menimbang, paningsetan, dhahar kembul, ngindek telur, wijik sekar setaman, kacar-kucur, baling bantal, tukar kembar mayang, and sungkeman), the Banjar (such as basasuluh, badatang, bapayuan, maantar patalian, bapingit, bakasai, batimung, bainai, and batamat Al-Qur’an), and the Bugis (such as mammanu-manu, massuro, mappasiarekeng, cemme passili, mappacci, mappenre botting, ijab kabul, mappasiluka, amrola, mammatoa, and marola wekke dua) are still practiced as a form of cultural and religious responsibility, though they are now often simplified to save time. Second, these marriage traditions reflect the internalization of Islamic educational values, including values of faith (iman), worship (ibadah), ethics (akhlak), and social responsibility. This study acknowledges its limitations in terms of the number of analyzed articles, especially those published in SINTA-accredited journals.

Abstract

This study explores the reengineering of health vocational high school (SMK Kesehatan) curricula in Kalimantan following the implementation of Indonesia’s Health Law No. 17 of 2023, with a comparative analysis of Thailand’s vocational education reform under the Thailand 4.0 framework. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation in SMKs located in East, South, and Central Kalimantan. Findings reveal that SMKs in Kalimantan have begun to adjust their curricula by emphasizing medical technology, hospital management, and digital health information systems. However, challenges such as limited facilities, insufficient teacher training, and weak industry partnerships remain significant barriers. In contrast, Thailand has successfully implemented holistic vocational education reform by integrating work-integrated learning, providing high-skilled vocational innovation scholarships, and establishing strong partnerships between schools and industries. Thailand’s model also benefits from a robust monitoring and evaluation system that ensures alignment with labor market demands. These findings suggest that SMKs in Kalimantan need to adopt a more holistic and collaborative approach to curriculum reengineering, drawing lessons from Thailand, to produce graduates who are adaptive, innovative, and competitive in the global health sector.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the process of internalizing Islamic education values in the formation of santri entrepreneur at Islamic boarding school in Lampung, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive type through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that value internalization occurs systematically through three main stages: value transformation through the teaching of aqidah, akhlak, and fiqh muamalah; habituation and role modeling in boarding school life, and the actualization of values through entrepreneurial practices in the boarding school's business units. Values such as honesty, trustworthiness, responsibility, hard work, and independence are integrated into economic activities, thereby shaping santri with religious character and social orientation. The main supporting factors include visionary kyai leadership, a disciplined Islamic Boarding School culture, the presence of business units as practical laboratories, and the support of alumni and community networks. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include limited capital and production facilities, business management that is not yet fully professional, limited digital literacy, and differences in santri interests and talents. Overall, this study concludes that the model of internalizing Islamic Education values in the Islamic boarding school is effective in forming santri entrepreneurs who are not only economically competent, but also possess moral integrity and social responsibility. This model has the potential to serve as an alternative for developing value-based Islamic entrepreneurship education in the context of empowering the economic well-being of the ummah.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of wasatiyah (Islamic moderation) principles within Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Indonesia. In response to rising religious intolerance among youth and the national imperative to promote social cohesion, this research examines how moderation is internalized through educational practices. Religious moderation is critical in multicultural societies, yet its implementation in Islamic education remains understudied. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected via interviews, classroom observations, focus group discussions, and document analysis over one academic semester. Findings indicate that has systematically incorporated wasatiyah through interactive teaching methods, contextual discussions, and value-based modeling. Students demonstrated cognitive understanding, affective alignment, and behavioral expression of moderate Islamic values. The integration of Islamic educational philosophy, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and Bandura’s Social Learning Theory facilitated a comprehensive pedagogical framework. Key enabling factors included strong school leadership, teacher competence, and parental support, while challenges such as limited instructional time and digital radicalism persist. This research contributes a theoretical model and practical roadmap for embedding religious moderation into PAI curricula, offering replicable insights for similar educational contexts. The study affirms the transformative potential of wasatiyah-based education in fostering tolerant, reflective, and socially responsible Muslim youth.

Abstract

Low self-esteem among adolescents is a critical issue that directly impacts academic, social, and spiritual development. In the context of Islamic education, Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers hold a strategic position in helping students build self-confidence and psychological resilience. This study aims to analyze the Islamic pedagogical strategies employed by IRE teachers in addressing students' low self-esteem at SMP Daarul Aitam Palembang. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Research informants consisted of PAI teachers, class advisors, and students selected purposively until data saturation was achieved. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis techniques. The research results identified three main roles of PAI teachers: (1) as educators who instill Islamic values through tadabbur Al-Qur'an and internalization of Islamic self-concept; (2) as mentors who provide emotional guidance and informal counseling based on a spiritual approach; and (3) as role models (uswah hasanah) in religious behavior that builds a supportive environment. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating Islamic pedagogy in shaping students' character and psychological well-being. It is recommended that PAI teachers receive adolescent psychology training based on Islamic values to strengthen character education in Islamic schools.

Abstract

This research was conducted to analyze the concept of Islamic education, the characteristics of Generation Z, the digital era and its influence on Islamic education, and the transformation of Islamic educational values in Generation Z. This paper uses a qualitative approach. Data were collected through library research. The findings indicate that the Islamic identity of Generation Z is increasingly shaped by digital technology. The transformation of Islamic educational values in this generation influenced by technological development, which alters educational patterns, learning strategies, and the role of social media in transmitting values. Challenges arise in this process, including the dominance of social media, identity crises, lack of role models, and religious education that is less adaptive to modern contexts. Despite these challenges, digitalization also offers valuable opportunities. Technology can support da’wah, the formation of virtual Islamic communities, and the production of creative content that reflects the lifestyle of Generation Z. These methods are effective in instilling Islamic values within the rapid flow of digital information. Moreover, this situation provides an opportunity to strengthen spirituality through technology, which aligns with the goals of Islamic education: to form individuals who are faithful, pious, and noble in character. The core values of Islamic education, moral, intellectual, remain vital in shaping holistic individuals who can contribute positively to society. Adaptations such as digital learning materials, online and hybrid models, and social media as educational platforms demonstrate the urgency of digital transformation to ensure Islamic education remains relevant to the future needs of Generation Z.

Abstract

Integration of 21st Century Skills into learning methods is crucial in modernizing Islamic Religious Education (PAI), particularly to address the challenges of learning that are relevant to the demands of the times. This study bridges the gap between traditional Islamic pedagogy and 21st-century competencies, focusing on the material of QS. Al Hujurat: 13. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collected through in-depth interviews with four PAI teachers from four Public Elementary Schools in Garo City, who were purposively selected based on their active involvement in teaching PAI and their experience implementing 21st-century learning strategies. Interviews were conducted during March–April 2025, recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that PAI teachers apply active learning methods such as group discussions, project-based learning, and the use of digital media, with the main challenges being limited learning time, lack of supporting facilities, and minimal teacher training, while existing support includes school policies and collaboration between teachers. These findings confirm that integrating 21st-century skills into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning can increase student engagement and material relevance, but requires adaptive strategies to address resource constraints. This study contributes theoretically by offering a framework for integrating 21st-century competencies into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning and practically by providing recommendations for teacher training and strengthening systemic support.

Abstract

This study investigated child-friendly education model in shaping student character within Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Pekanbaru, addressing a gap in empirical evidence for its direct impact in Indonesian Islamic schools. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test non-equivalent control group, 58 Grade 4 and 5 students participated. Data were collected via observation rubrics and student self-assessment questionnaires, validated by experts and pilot-tested for reliability, alongside qualitative teacher interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, primarily via ANCOVA to compare post-test scores while controlling for pre-test variations. The findings robustly demonstrate the model's significant positive impact on all measured character traits: honesty (F(1, 55) = 18.23, p < .001), responsibility (F(1, 55) = 22.87, p < .001), discipline (F(1, 55) = 15.67, p < .001), empathy (F(1, 55) = 10.12, p = .002), and religious values (F(1, 55) = 9.88, p = .003). Qualitative data from teacher interviews corroborated these improvements, highlighting enhanced student engagement, social cohesion, and self-regulation. While limited to a single institution, these results provide compelling evidence that a child-friendly approach effectively fosters comprehensive character development in madrasahs, encouraging its broader adoption and further longitudinal research across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the need to understand the contribution of Al-Ghazzali's thought in Islamic education, particularly regarding the concept of rationality that integrates reason and revelation. Al-Ghazzali's rationality is considered crucial in addressing the challenges of the modernization of Islamic education, which demands a balance between spiritual and intellectual values. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of Al-Ghazzali's rationality on curriculum development, learning methods, and character formation in Islamic education. The method employed is qualitative research with a library research approach, focusing on content analysis of various relevant primary and secondary sources. Data were collected through documentation techniques and literature studies from books, journals, and scientific articles related to Al-Ghazzali's thought and Islamic education. Data analysis was conducted inductively by grouping main themes that illustrate the relationship between Al-Ghazzali's rationality and Islamic educational practices. The findings indicate that Al-Ghazzali's rationality plays a central role in building the foundation of holistic Islamic education, harmonizing reason and revelation. His thought encourages the use of reflective learning methods and an integrative curriculum that combines religious sciences with general knowledge, while also emphasizing character formation based on Islamic values. In conclusion, the application of Al-Ghazzali's rationality enriches modern Islamic education by balancing the intellectual and spiritual aspects of students. Recommendations for further research include conducting empirical studies to test the direct implementation of Al-Ghazzali's thought in contemporary educational contexts and comprehensively evaluating its impact on the quality of education and student character.
