Abstract

Strengthening students' spirituality is an important challenge for Islamic religious education in the digital age, when the influence of social media, cultural changes, and a lack of family guidance often weaken students' religious awareness. This condition requires learning strategies that are more adaptive and relevant to the developmental needs of adolescents. This study aims to describe the strategies used by Islamic Religious Education teachers to enhance student spirituality, the forms of implementation in schools, as well as the impacts and obstacles that arise in its implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that IRE teachers applied five main strategies, namely contextual learning, worship habits, role modeling, personal approaches, and collaboration with parents and schools. These strategies have been proven to increase student participation in religious activities, strengthen religious behavior, and encourage the internalization of Islamic values in daily life. However, the study also found obstacles such as differences in student motivation, the influence of digital media, and limited learning time.

Abstract

Speaking activities in English classrooms often remain teacher-centered and lack opportunities for students to develop critical thinking. This study aims to analyze how debate activities facilitate teachers in implementing Project-Based Learning (PBL) in speaking instruction and to identify the challenges encountered during its application. Using a qualitative method with a case study design, the research was conducted at a senior high school in Bekasi. Data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with an English teacher and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results revealed that integrating debate into PBL effectively enhanced students’ speaking skills, particularly in fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence. The teacher’s role shifted from instructor to facilitator, creating a more active and student-centered learning environment. Despite challenges such as limited time, varying student abilities, and inadequate school facilities, the debate-based PBL approach proved to promote communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. In conclusion, debate integration within PBL serves as an effective model to improve both linguistic competence and 21st-century learning skills.

Abstract

The management of practical facilities and infrastructure is a crucial component of vocational education because it directly affects the quality of learning and students’ readiness to meet industry demands. Many vocational schools still face challenges in planning, maintaining, and optimizing facility use, resulting in practicum activities that do not fully support competency achievement. Strengthening facility management practices that align with industrial standards is therefore essential. This study aims to analyze the management of facilities and infrastructure at SMK Negeri 1 Pontianak based on practicum needs using the POSDCORB theoretical framework. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies, supported by source triangulation to ensure data credibility. The findings show that the planning of facility and infrastructure procurement is conducted collaboratively among productive teachers, workshop heads, and industry partners; the organizational structure is clearly implemented through official decrees and SOPs; technical training for teachers and technicians enhances equipment utilization; coordination with internal and external stakeholders is consistently maintained; damage reporting procedures are systematic and well-documented; and budgeting prioritizes essential practicum needs. In conclusion, facility and infrastructure management at SMK Negeri 1 Pontianak demonstrates an adaptive, collaborative, and accountable governance model that effectively supports industry-oriented learning.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at the senior high school level requires active and inclusive approaches to accommodate students’ diverse intelligence profiles and to promote comprehensive internalization of Islamic values. One relevant approach is kinesthetic learning based on multiple intelligences. This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by PAI teachers in designing, implementing, and evaluating kinesthetic learning based on multiple intelligences at SMA Negeri 2 Palembang, as well as to identify its impact on students’ engagement and understanding. This research adopts a qualitative method with a case study approach. The findings indicate that PAI teachers integrate kinesthetic approaches with bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences through activities such as Islamic history role-playing, Qur’anic memorization through movement, and collaborative group work. Despite challenges related to classroom management and limited facilities, these strategies effectively enhance students’ participation and internalization of religious values. The study concludes that the effectiveness of kinesthetic learning in Islamic education largely depends on teachers’ creativity, the alignment of instructional models with students’ intelligence profiles, and sustained institutional support and pedagogical training.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of women’s education in Indonesia through the educational thought of Rahmah El-Yunusiyah, a pioneering reformer who established the Diniyah Putri in Padang Panjang. Her initiatives emerged from a socio-historical context in which women had limited access to formal education due to patriarchal norms and colonial structures. The purpose of this study is to analyze Rahmah’s holistic and integrative educational concept, which combines religious sciences, general knowledge, character formation, and practical life skills as a comprehensive system for empowering Muslim women. Using a qualitative approach with literature and historical methods, this research draws upon primary sources—such as archival records, biographical documents, and early curricula of Diniyah Putri—alongside secondary scholarly works. The findings reveal that Rahmah successfully shifted the paradigm of women’s education from a domestic-centered model to a progressive framework that positions women as active agents in social and religious life. Her pedagogical model emphasizes moral integrity, intellectual competence, and social responsibility, making Diniyah Putri a pioneering institution of Islamic women’s education in Southeast Asia. The study concludes that Rahmah’s ideas remain highly relevant for contemporary educational development, offering a strategic foundation for strengthening the role of Muslim women as empowered, independent, and contributive members of society.

Abstract

This study was conducted due to the limited use of interactive and technology-based teaching materials in Indonesian language learning at the elementary school level, which often relies on printed materials and results in low student engagement. The research aimed to develop Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based interactive teaching materials to encourage active learning, provide immediate feedback, and support collaborative problem-solving for fifth-grade Indonesian language instruction. This research applied a research and development method using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The analysis stage involved observations and interviews with teachers and students from three elementary schools. The design and development stages focused on producing interactive multimedia-based teaching materials using Articulate Storyline 3. The product was then validated by experts to assess its content, language, and media feasibility. The validation results indicated that the teaching materials were categorized as very valid. Practicality testing showed average scores of 92.33% from teachers and 94.18% from students, both classified as very practical. Furthermore, the effectiveness test produced an N-Gain value of 0.8 (77.60%), indicating that the teaching materials were effective in improving student engagement and learning outcomes in Indonesian language learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop interactive teaching materials assisted by Google Sites using a Problem Based Learning (PBL) model for fifth-grade Indonesian language instruction. Interactive teaching materials are defined as digital learning resources designed to actively engage students through interaction with content, tasks, and problem-solving activities, enabling meaningful cognitive involvement during learning. This research was conducted due to the limited use of interactive digital teaching materials in elementary schools, which often results in low student engagement. The study employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE instructional design process, including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. Data were collected through observations, interviews, expert validation sheets, practicality questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test instruments in three elementary schools. The validation results showed a validity coefficient of 0.905, categorized as highly valid. Practicality testing indicated very high practicality, with teacher and student responses of 99.58% and 94.16%, respectively. Effectiveness testing demonstrated high effectiveness, with an N-Gain score of 0.80 (80.55%). These findings indicate that Google Sites–assisted interactive teaching materials integrated with the PBL model are valid, practical, and effective for improving student engagement and learning outcomes in elementary Indonesian language learning.

Abstract

The strengthening of science concepts in the Merdeka Curriculum requires a strong linkage between theoretical understanding and authentic application, particularly to develop soft skills relevant to the 21st-century workforce. However, physics learning in senior high schools still tends to emphasize cognitive aspects and provides limited practical exposure. This study aims to bridge this gap by integrating physics learning with competencies from the Motorcycle Engineering and Business (TBSM) program through a project-based co-curricular activity titled “Energy Efficiency and Workshop Service Innovation” at SMAN 2 Sandai. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method, data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, document analysis, triangulation, and member checking. The findings indicate differentiated soft-skill development among 26 participating students: three students reached Level 4, showing strong diagnostic abilities, data-based reasoning, scientific communication, and leadership; students at Level 3 demonstrated adequate mastery of concepts but inconsistencies in decision-making; while those at Levels 2–1 required further improvement in work discipline and entrepreneurial orientation. Overall, the study concludes that contextual project-based experiences effectively strengthen the connection between physics concepts and technical competencies while fostering students’ professional character development.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of educational resource management, particularly human resources (HR) and financial resources, in supporting curriculum implementation at SMP Negeri 3 Kotabaru. The research focuses on how the principal applies data-driven, reflective, and collaborative management approaches to optimize teacher potential and ensure transparent and accountable financial management. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of resource management at SMP Negeri 3 Kotabaru is achieved through three main strategies: (1) reflection- and coaching-based HR management that encourages teachers’ self-evaluation and continuous professional development; (2) humanistic leadership emphasizing emotional regulation, empathy, and dialogic communication to foster a collaborative work culture; and (3) transparent and participatory financial management involving all school members in budgeting and evaluation processes. This study concludes that the effectiveness of HR and financial management is not solely determined by the principal’s technical managerial skills but also by reflective, ethical, and collaborative leadership. Such a management model fosters a sustainable culture of quality and strengthens the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.
