Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly influenced the lives of young people, particularly Generation Z. Social media, as part of the digital lifestyle, brings both positive and negative impacts on the character formation of students. This study aims to explain the strategies implemented by Islamic Education teachers in instilling the values of faith (aqidah), morality (akhlaq), and proper etiquette (adab) among Generation Z students at MTs Al-Ahsan Bogor. The background of this research lies in the increasing negative influence of social media, which potentially threatens the character and spirituality of adolescents. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection methods consisting of observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that Islamic Education teachers at MTs Al-Ahsan apply the strategy of internalizing faith values through role modeling in attitude and behavior, as well as habituation of adab through practical implementation within the school environment. Furthermore, parental involvement and collaboration with the school play a significant role in supporting students’ character development. The consistent and gradual integration of Islamic values has shaped students’ personalities to become morally upright, strong in faith, and ethically responsible in using social media. These findings demonstrate that character education based on Islamic values is both relevant and effective in protecting the younger generation from the harmful effects of the digital world.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the challenges of character education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) caused by the impact of digital technology on students’ academic performance. A mixed methods design was employed, combining qualitative interviews with teachers, students, and staff members, and quantitative surveys distributed to teachers and students. The qualitative approach explored key informants’ perspectives on integrating technology into character education, while the quantitative data were statistically analyzed to evaluate the effect of technology and provide concrete illustrations. The findings indicate that character education in pesantren becomes significantly more effective when digital tools are integrated with religious instruction. Notably, 85% of students reported a stronger understanding of moral principles when technology was used to complement religious learning, demonstrating its role in enhancing moral responsibility. However, the study also highlights limitations, particularly the regional scope and resource constraints that hinder the full application of digital technology in some institutions. The research implies that pesantren can successfully modernize their pedagogy by combining traditional religious teachings with digital innovation without compromising moral and religious values. These findings offer practical guidance for teachers and administrators to adapt their instructional approaches in the digital age. Future research is recommended to investigate the long-term effects of this methodology on students’ moral and ethical development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of applying the Team Quiz method in improving the learning outcomes of Aqidah Akhlak among eighth-grade students at MTs Thawalib Putra Padang Panjang, given the persistent problems such as lack of focus, low willingness to ask questions, and uneven achievement of learning indicators. The research employed a quantitative approach with an experimental method, in which the experimental class was treated with the Team Quiz strategy, while the control class used conventional learning methods. The sample consisted of 25 students, and data were analyzed using hypothesis testing with the assistance of SPSS software. The results show a significant influence of the Team Quiz method on improving Aqidah Akhlak learning outcomes, with t = -8.754, df = 25, and sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. The average learning outcomes of the experimental class using Team Quiz were higher than those of the control class, namely 83.40 with a standard deviation of 2.533, demonstrating a substantial difference in academic achievement. The study concludes that the Team Quiz method is effective in fostering student engagement and enhancing understanding of Aqidah Akhlak subject matter. Academically, this research contributes by enriching the literature on participatory-based learning strategies and provides practical insights for educators in optimizing Islamic religious education, particularly Aqidah Akhlak, at the madrasah level.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implementation of the Watching-Based Learning Model as a multimodal learning approach in Grade IV at SD IT Muhammadiyah Bandongan. This research employed a qualitative design using naturalistic observation supported by interviews and field notes collected over one month. The findings indicate that the multimodal learning model has been implemented at a level of 40%. Within this framework, visual representation accounts for 80% and audiovisual representation for 20%. In terms of multimodal literacy, visual literacy contributes 60% while critical multimodal literacy constitutes 40%. The visual literacy phase is identified as the initial stage, where students demonstrate comprehension of simple and familiar multimodal texts with predictable structures. In contrast, the critical multimodal literacy phase is positioned at the exploratory stage, where students begin to integrate strategies to interpret the content, purpose, and form of multimodal texts. The model is supported by three dominant media: textbooks (61%), PowerPoint (31%), and wall crafts (8%). This study highlights the relevance of multimodal learning in enhancing elementary students’ literacy development by integrating diverse media and literacy phases. The implications suggest that a balanced incorporation of visual and critical multimodal literacy can strengthen students’ comprehension and interpretation skills, offering valuable insights for curriculum development and classroom practice in primary education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of school committee empowerment as a supporting sector for the education process at SD Juara in Yogyakarta City in 2021. The research was conducted to identify how the school committee contributes to the effectiveness of educational management and to evaluate the extent of its empowerment in various school aspects. The research subjects consisted of 11 respondents, including the principal, the committee chairperson, secretary, treasurer, public relations officer, representatives of grade 1 and grade 6 school committee members, as well as school representatives in the fields of curriculum, student affairs, finance, and facilities and infrastructure. The study applied a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through interviews, documentation, and observation. The data analysis was carried out through the stages of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the school committee was effectively empowered in supporting the curriculum, finance, human resources, and facilities and infrastructure management. However, the role of the school committee in the area of student affairs was found to be less optimal, showing limited contribution in this aspect. This reveals that while the committee has made significant contributions in some areas, there remains a need to strengthen its involvement in supporting student development more comprehensively. The implications of this study highlight the importance of reinforcing the role of school committees in student affairs, so that empowerment can be implemented in a balanced way across all aspects of education at SD Juara.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate an adaptive management model for Islamic education that responds effectively to the dynamics of contemporary socio-cultural change. Using a qualitative approach grounded in a comprehensive literature review, the analysis explores the principles of Islamic educational management, organizational adaptation theory, and relevant institutional management practices. The findings present a cyclical adaptive model that emphasizes four interrelated stages: scanning the environment, aligning values, implementing changes, and conducting evaluation. The first stage involves mapping institutional conditions, community characteristics, and educational needs. The second focuses on adjusting management policies to remain consistent with Islamic principles and local contexts. The third concerns the practical and measurable implementation of adaptive strategies, while the final stage involves continuous assessment to ensure ongoing improvement. The proposed model highlights the importance of stakeholder participation, contextualized curricula, educator capacity development, and collaborative evaluation mechanisms. The study suggests that effective adaptive management in Islamic education requires the integration of flexibility with moral and spiritual values to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing society. The implication is that educational leaders must adopt responsive and sustainable management approaches to preserve the quality and integrity of learning. This research contributes a conceptual framework that can guide Islamic educational institutions in navigating transformation while upholding their ethical and spiritual foundations. Future research is encouraged to empirically examine the model’s applicability and effectiveness in diverse institutional contexts.
