Background: Curriculum development is a key factor in improving the quality of education, particularly in Islamic schools that are adapting to global standards. Specific Background: The Cambridge Curriculum has been adopted in several Islamic schools in Indonesia to enhance learning outcomes and align with international benchmarks.

Abstract

Background: Arabic language is a core subject in Islamic education, yet students often face difficulties in mastering vocabulary. Specific Background: At SD Muhammadiyah 1 Trenggalek, vocabulary learning was often monotonous, reducing students’ interest.

Aim: This study aims to describe the process, challenges, and solutions of implementing TTS in Arabic vocabulary learning. Results: The findings show that TTS increases students’ participation, memory retention, and contextual understanding of vocabulary. Challenges include limited class time, diverse student abilities, and low initial engagement. Novelty: The study proposes strategies such as pictorial TTS, audiovisual support, step-by-step implementation, rewards, and teacher training. Implications: These results provide practical recommendations for teachers to design interactive and student-centered vocabulary learning in elementary schools. Highlights:• TTS fosters active and contextual Arabic vocabulary learning• Solutions address time, ability gaps, and motivation issues• Practical strategies proposed for sustainable classroom implementation Keyword: Arabic Vocabulary, Crossword Puzzle, Elementary School, Interactive Learning, Teacher Strategy

Background: Public speaking is an essential skill for university students, particularly those engaged in student organizations. Specific Background: However, many students still experience anxiety when speaking in front of others, which can hinder their academic and organizational performance.

Novelty: This study provides evidence focusing specifically on IMM activists, highlighting their psychological condition in organizational contexts. Implications: The results suggest the importance of interventions, such as public speaking training and mentoring programs, to strengthen students’ self-confidence and reduce speaking anxiety.

Abstract

General background: Integration between Islamic educational institutions and universities is essential to strengthen quality and sustainability. Specific background: Ma’had Umar bin Al Khattab Sidoarjo, originally established by the Asia Muslim Charity Foundation, was later integrated into the Faculty of Islamic Studies at Muhammadiyah University of Sidoarjo (FAI UMSIDA).

Aims: This study examines the management of Ma’had’s integration into FAI UMSIDA, focusing on human resources, curriculum, and student affairs. Results: Using a qualitative field research approach with observation, interviews, and document review, the study reveals that a semi-integration model was applied, allowing Ma’had to maintain autonomy while aligning with university systems. Novelty: The study introduces a management framework where semi-integration preserves institutional identity yet fosters structural coordination. Implications: Findings provide guidance for Islamic higher education institutions undergoing similar transitions and contribute to theoretical development in Islamic education management. Highlights: Semi-integration sustains Ma’had autonomy within university systems. Management covers HR, curriculum, and student affairs restructuring.
