Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of developing students’ religious character amid increasingly complex social challenges. Religious character development requires not only classroom learning but also continuous habituation and spiritual guidance. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Islamic Personal Development Program in fostering students’ religious character at SMA IT Rabbani Muara Enim and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving one principal, two Islamic Personal Development (BPI) mentor teachers, one Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher, and two twelfth-grade students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings revealed that the program was implemented through mentoring sessions, Tahsin Tahfizh Qur’an (TTQ), congregational prayers, MABIT, dhikr, and rihlah activities. These activities contributed to the development of students’ worship discipline, religious awareness, honesty, and responsibility. Supporting factors included school commitment, mentor teachers, and a religious school environment, while inhibiting factors included low student motivation and limited family support. The study concludes that the Islamic Personal Development Program contributed to the development of students’ religious character through habituation, role modeling, and spiritual experiences.

Abstract

Islamic education aims to develop individuals who are intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually balanced. Therefore, education is not only directed toward mastering knowledge but also toward fostering moral values and character. This study aims to analyze the implementation of teachers’ emotional intelligence in improving the success of Akidah Akhlak learning at MIS Al-Khairaat Pombewe. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The participants included the school principal, Akidah Akhlak teachers, and students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that teachers’ emotional intelligence is reflected in their ability to manage emotions, show empathy, and build positive communication with students. Teachers function not only as instructors but also as role models and moral guides. The success of learning can be observed in students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development. Students demonstrate an understanding of Akidah Akhlak concepts, respect for teachers, empathy toward peers, and ethical behavior in daily life. Supporting factors include family support, the religious culture of the madrasah, and teachers’ awareness of the importance of emotional connections. However, challenges arise from students’ diverse personalities, family backgrounds, and teachers’ limitations in emotional regulation. The study concludes that teachers’ emotional intelligence plays a significant role in learning success and students’ character development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze improvements in students’ environmental literacy through a deep learning-based Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model applied to environmental change curriculum. The primary issue underlying this study is the low level of environmental literacy among students, which results in a lack of environmentally conscious attitudes and behaviors. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. The research subjects consisted of an experimental class using the deep learning-based CTL model and a control class without the use of the deep learning-based CTL model. Research instruments included an essay test and a questionnaire to measure environmental literacy before and after the intervention. The results showed that the experimental class experienced an increase of 44.12% with an N-Gain value of 0.65, which falls into the moderate category, while the control class experienced an increase of 19.88% with an N-Gain value of 0.27, which falls into the low category. These findings indicate an improvement in students’ environmental literacy following the implementation of the deep learning-based CTL learning model on environmental change content.

Abstract

This study examines asset-based school development as a self-directed strategy for improving educational quality in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research was conducted at three primary schools in the Ambalau District, Sintang Regency. The study explored educational conditions, school assets, and the ways these assets are utilized to support school development. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving principals, teachers, school supervisors, and representatives of the local education office. The finding reveals that schools continue to face significant challenges in improving educational quality.  Although they possess diverse assets, development efforts remain largely focused on physical and financial resources. In addition, deficit-based thinking limits schools’ ability to fully utilize their existing strengths and capacities. While educational issues in 3T regions have been widely studied, research on asset-based school development remains limited. The study recommends adopting an asset-based community development approach through mapping assets, building relationships, mobilizing assets, developing a vision and action plan, and leveraging external resources.

Abstract

School financial budget management helps improve the quality of education through the effective utilization of resources. This study aims to describe the financial budgeting process in efforts to improve the quality of education at SMP Negeri 1 Pulosari. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the identification and structured description of budgeting practices in educational financial management. The research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection tools. The informants for this study were the school principal, the school committee, the school treasurer, the PPUr, and teachers. The research subjects were selected based on the location of the school under study. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The results indicate that the budgeting process is conducted systematically through the identification of funding sources, the preparation of the RKAS, the determination of priorities, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with regulations. The identification of funding sources is carried out transparently and based on data. The use of the ARKAS application further supports transparency, accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency in financial management. Nevertheless, the budgeting process still faces challenges in the form of limited funds, policy changes, and high stakeholder expectations. The research findings highlight the importance of needs-based planning, strengthening stakeholder participation, and optimizing digital systems to support school financial management aimed at improving the quality of education.

Abstract

The low completion rate of online courses and the absence of localized web programming platforms integrating gamification with adaptive recommendations background this study. This research aims to develop StepByWeb, a gamified web programming Learning Management System (LMS) driven by a proposed Learning Performance Index (LPI). Calculated from weighted cognitive achievement, learning consistency, and completion rates, the LPI automatically maps users into four performance tiers (High, Moderate, Low, Critical). The system then dynamically delivers differentiated content recommendations tailored to each tier’s specific needs, such as advanced challenges for High LPI or foundational review materials for Critical LPI. Developed using the ADDIE model with React and Supabase, the platform underwent functional and usability evaluations. Black Box Testing demonstrated a 95% functional success rate, while User Acceptance Testing via the System Usability Scale (SUS) involving 20 respondents yielded an average score of 81.12 (Grade A, Excellent). These initial formative evaluation findings indicate that StepByWeb is functionally feasible and well-accepted by users, successfully implementing the LPI as a personalized content recommendation mechanism. Longitudinal validation of learning outcomes remains an agenda for future research.
