Abstract

Academic achievement has long been positioned as a primary indicator of success in higher education. However, an excessive orientation toward academic attainment risks obscuring the fundamental purpose of education, namely the formation of student integrity and moral responsibility. Academic realities reveal a growing misalignment between academic performance and ethical conduct, as reflected in various forms of academic dishonesty and the erosion of integrity within higher education institutions. This article aims to conceptually examine the role of ethical awareness as a driving force for the transformation of student behavior in the context of higher education. This study is constructed through a literature-based approach employing critical analysis of ethical theories, character education, and academic values relevant to contemporary higher education. The discussion emphasizes ethical awareness as an internalized moral consciousness that guides students in ethical decision-making, the internalization of academic honesty, and the integration of intellectual achievement with social responsibility. The article underscores the urgency of mainstreaming ethical awareness within curricula, pedagogical practices, and academic culture as a foundational framework for fostering sustainable student integrity. Accordingly, higher education is expected not only to produce academically accomplished graduates but also individuals who demonstrate strong character, integrity, and ethical sensitivity in both academic and social spheres

Abstract

Cooperative Learning (CL) is widely recognized as an effective student-centered pedagogical approach and has been extensively promoted in educational reforms worldwide. However, existing studies have predominantly focused on measuring its effectiveness, while limited attention has been given to how teachers interpret and enact CL within their specific sociocultural contexts. Addressing this gap, this study investigates how Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers conceptualize, implement, and adapt cooperative learning in their classroom practices. Employing a qualitative multiple case study design, data were collected from four secondary school English teachers through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The study was informed by Sociocultural Activity Theory and the concept of teacher agency to examine how pedagogical practices are shaped by cultural values, institutional conditions, and professional experiences. The findings reveal that cooperative learning is not implemented as a uniform instructional model but is continuously reinterpreted and recontextualized according to local classroom realities. Teachers enacted CL in diverse ways, drawing upon moral, cultural, religious, institutional, and pragmatic considerations. Furthermore, cultural norms emphasizing social harmony influenced interaction patterns, while tensions between policy expectations and classroom realities prompted teachers to adapt cooperative learning practices strategically. The study highlights teacher agency as a critical mediating factor in translating global pedagogical ideas into contextually meaningful classroom practices. These findings contribute to the literature on pedagogical recontextualization and teacher agency by demonstrating that successful implementation of cooperative learning depends not on procedural fidelity but on teachers’ capacity to adapt pedagogical principles to their sociocultural environments. The study also offers implications for educational policy and teacher professional development by emphasizing the importance of context-sensitive approaches to pedagogical reform.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the reconstruction of the philosophy of science in the Project-Based Eco-Citizenship learning model in elementary education through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. This study examines 30 selected articles from the Google Scholar, Scopus, and SINTA databases published in 2015–2025. The analysis was conducted using the PRISMA stages and thematic analysis examined from the perspective of the philosophy of science, namely ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions. The results of the study indicate that ontologically, students are positioned as active subjects who learn through direct interaction with the environment as the real reality of learning. Epistemologically, knowledge is built through experience, collaboration, and reflection in contextual project activities so that learning becomes more meaningful and applicable. Meanwhile, axiologically, this model plays a role in instilling the values of environmental concern, social responsibility, and sustainability that shape the character of eco-citizens in students. The integration of these three dimensions shows that Project-Based Eco-Citizenship is not only oriented towards cognitive achievement, but also character development and ecological awareness. Thus, this model is relevant to the demands of the Independent Curriculum and the strengthening of 21st-century skills in forming a generation that is critical, collaborative, creative, and cares about the environment.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate an eco-disaster literacy–based science learning model using a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach to improve environmental awareness and problem-solving skills of elementary school students. The research was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Laousu, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, involving 40 fifth-grade students. The DBR process included four stages: analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through questionnaires, problem-solving tests, observations, and interviews. The findings showed that the learning model was highly valid, with Aiken’s V values ranging from 0.85 to 0.89, and highly practical, indicated by 92% implementation and 90% positive student responses. The model was also effective in improving student learning outcomes. Environmental awareness increased in the moderate category (N-Gain = 0.57), while problem-solving ability improved in the high category (N-Gain = 0.70). The t-test results showed significant differences between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the developed learning model.

Abstract

This thesis examines the role of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers in implementing character-based learning to improve students’ discipline at SDN 169 Bolang, Enrekang Regency. The study focuses on three main aspects: (1) the role of IRE teachers in applying character-based learning to enhance students’ discipline, (2) the character-based learning strategies employed by IRE teachers, and (3) efforts to overcome challenges in implementing character-based Islamic Religious Education that influence students’ disciplinary behavior. This research employed a qualitative approach with pedagogical and psychological perspectives. The study was conducted over a period of three months at SDN 169 Bolang, Enrekang Regency. Primary data sources included the school principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and school operators, while secondary data sources consisted of school documents, journals, articles, and other relevant references. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques involved data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The validity of the data was ensured through credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The findings indicate that character-based learning through Islamic Religious Education at SDN 169 Bolang is effective in improving students’ discipline. Islamic Religious Education teachers play a central role as role models by integrating religious values into learning activities, implementing routine habituation, applying consistent rewards and educational consequences, and using active and reflective learning methods. Although challenges such as differences in students’ character, external environmental influences, and limited parental support were encountered, these obstacles were successfully addressed through strong collaboration among teachers, homeroom teachers, and parents, as well as through consistent and adaptive approaches. Consequently, the formation of students’ disciplinary character can be developed effectively and sustainably.

Abstract

his study examines three main aspects: (1) the planning of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning at SDN 176 Belajen, Alla District, Enrekang Regency; (2) the quality of IRE learning at the school; and (3) the implications of learning planning in building the quality of IRE learning. The purpose of this study is to analyze learning planning, assess the quality of learning, and identify the implications of learning planning in improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning at SDN 176 Belajen. This research employs a qualitative approach with pedagogical, juridical, sociological, and psychological perspectives. The study was conducted over three months at SDN 176 Belajen, Alla District, Enrekang Regency. Primary data sources consisted of the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and school operators, while secondary data were obtained from school documents, articles, journals, and related literature. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results of the study indicate that Islamic Religious Education learning planning at SDN 176 Belajen has been implemented in an adaptive and practical manner through the preparation of lesson plans that are flexible and responsive to classroom conditions and student characteristics. However, improvements are still needed in the use of learning media and the documentation of assessment results. The quality of student learning is generally categorized as fairly good, particularly in the habituation of religious attitudes and practical learning activities, although students still experience difficulties in understanding conceptual material. Overall, systematic learning planning has positive implications for increasing student activeness, understanding, and the formation of religious character. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how systematic instructional planning supports not only academic achievement but also the development of students’ religious character in elementary Islamic Religious Education.

Abstract

This study examines students’ learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education (IRE), the implementation of a collaborative learning model between teachers and parents, and the role of such collaboration in enhancing students’ motivation at UPTD SDN 18 Kalosi Enrekang. The study aimed to describe students’ learning motivation in IRE, analyze the implementation of teacher–parent collaborative learning, and explain its contribution to improving students’ motivation. This research employed a qualitative approach with pedagogical, psychological, and theological perspectives. The study was conducted over three months at UPTD SDN 18 Kalosi Enrekang. Primary data were obtained from the principal, teachers, parents, and students, while secondary data were collected from school documents and relevant literature. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation, member checking, prolonged observation, and persistent observation. The findings indicate that students’ learning motivation in IRE is generally good, particularly in practical topics such as prayer, worship practices, and moral values. However, motivation tends to decrease when students encounter more theoretical subjects, including tafsir and fiqh. The study also found that collaboration between teachers and parents positively affects students’ learning motivation. Active parental involvement in supervising learning at home and maintaining regular communication with teachers strengthens students’ enthusiasm, discipline, and engagement in learning. This study contributes to the growing literature on school–family partnerships by demonstrating how teacher–parent collaboration strengthens learning motivation within the context of Islamic Religious Education in elementary schools.

Abstract

The development of students’ moral character has become a critical concern in contemporary education due to increasing social and moral challenges among young learners. This study aims to explore the collaboration between Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers and parents in shaping students’ moral character at UPT SDN 2 Kalosi, Enrekang Regency, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving the principal, IRE teachers, classroom teachers, and parents. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while triangulation techniques were applied to ensure trustworthiness. The findings reveal that effective moral character development is achieved through continuous communication between teachers and parents, parental involvement in character-based assignments, alignment of moral values between school and home, and active support for school programs. The integration of school-based moral education and family parenting practices contributes significantly to the development of honesty, discipline, responsibility, empathy, and social awareness among students. However, challenges remain, including limited parental time, inconsistent communication, differences in parenting styles, and varying levels of parental participation. The study implies that sustainable school–family partnerships are essential for strengthening students’ moral character and creating consistency in value internalization across educational environments. The originality of this study lies in its examination of teacher–parent collaboration within the context of Islamic Religious Education at the elementary school level, highlighting how the integration of religious learning strategies and family-based moral guidance can foster holistic character development. The findings contribute to the growing literature on character education by offering a practical model of collaborative moral education that can be adapted in similar educational contexts

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Quantum Teaching method in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning, explore teachers’ and students’ experiences and perceptions toward its application, and identify learning innovations developed through the integration of the method at UPT SDN 18 Kalosi, Enrekang Regency. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach within a constructivist paradigm. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and field notes involving the principal, Islamic Religious Education teacher, classroom teachers, and students. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Quantum Teaching method significantly enhanced students’ engagement, motivation, and understanding of Islamic Religious Education. Learning became more interactive and student-centered through storytelling, group discussions, role-playing, project-based learning, and the integration of digital media. Students demonstrated stronger critical thinking, communication skills, and the ability to apply Islamic values in daily life. Teachers and students expressed positive perceptions of the method, although challenges related to limited instructional time, technological facilities, and differences in student abilities were identified. The study suggests that Quantum Teaching can serve as an effective instructional strategy for improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education, particularly in elementary schools. The findings encourage schools to strengthen teacher professional development and provide adequate technological support to facilitate innovative and meaningful learning experiences. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how Quantum Teaching can be adapted within Islamic Religious Education to foster active participation, contextual understanding, and the internalization of religious values. The study provides an innovative pedagogical model that integrates student-centered learning, educational technology, and character development in elementary Islamic education.

Abstract

Professional ethics has become an increasingly important issue in educational improvement, particularly in the context of Islamic Religious Education (IRE), where teachers are expected to serve not only as instructors but also as moral role models. Despite extensive discussions on teacher professionalism, limited research has explored how professional ethics contributes to teacher performance within Islamic educational settings. This study investigates the implementation of professional ethics among Islamic Religious Education teachers and its contribution to teacher performance at SMP Negeri 1 Baraka, Enrekang Regency, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis involving certified IRE teachers, school leaders, and relevant educational stakeholders. The data were analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation, prolonged engagement, and member checking. The findings reveal that professional ethics are consistently implemented across personal, social, pedagogical, and professional dimensions. Teachers demonstrate strong moral integrity, professional responsibility, collaborative behavior, and commitment to continuous professional development through participation in teacher professional forums. Furthermore, ethical practices significantly influence instructional planning, classroom management, assessment implementation, and overall teaching effectiveness. The study concludes that professional ethics function not only as a moral framework but also as a strategic mechanism for enhancing teacher performance and educational quality. These findings provide practical implications for teacher development programs and contribute to the broader discourse on ethics-based educational professionalism in Islamic education.
