Abstract

Self-management teaching as an effort to overcome the phenomenon of learning loafing among students, because learning loafing refers to students' unwillingness to actively engage in the learning process, which is often caused by a lack of motivation and effective self-management. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out the ways that teachers do in self-management teaching as an effort to overcome learning loafing in PAI learning. To achieve this goal, this study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The subjects of this study were PAI teachers and 10 students majoring in XI TKKR. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation. The results showed that the application of self-management teaching by teachers at SMKN 3 Palangka Raya includes time management techniques, motivation development, and the creation of a supportive learning environment. Students involved in the self-management process showed an increase in learning engagement and achievement, as well as a decrease in lazy learning behavior. From these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of self-management teaching can significantly reduce learning loafing and improve the quality of PAI learning.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the potential of social media as an instrument for Islamic moral education in Indonesia, a context with 167 million internet users and 77% internet penetration in 2023, to transcend the traditional role of mosques. Employing a qualitative methodology through a multiple case study design, data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 30 informants aged 15–35 years in North Sumatra, selected through purposive sampling, alongside content analysis of 150 posts on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, validated using source triangulation. The findings reveal that digital formats such as short videos (averaging 50,000 views), infographics (32,000 views), and Islamic challenges (#challengeislami, 450 posts) are effective in internalizing moral values, supported by interactivity and wide reach. However, religious hoaxes (12% of the sample) and secular distractions pose challenges to the sustainability of impact. The study proposes a model based on the synthesis of Al-Ghazali’s and Bandura’s theories, emphasizing interactive and personalized content, with implications for digital literacy training for educators and content regulation

Abstract

Children with intellectual disabilities are those who face challenges in their intellectual development, which is below average. To ensure they receive the same educational rights, inclusive learning systems have been introduced in the educational world. This study aims to describe the implementation of inclusive education for children with intellectual disabilities in Islamic Religious Education subjects and to identify the challenges in implementing inclusive education for these children. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews, and document analysis to collect data. The researcher then performs data reduction, presents the data, and draws/validates conclusions. The research was conducted at Al Firdaus Junior High School in Sukoharjo. The research findings indicate that teachers implement inclusive learning by entirely modifying the curriculum for children with intellectual disabilities. Modifications were made in three areas: content, process, and product. The challenges faced by Islamic Religious Education teachers include when children with intellectual disabilities experience bad moods, emotional tantrums, and difficulties with content that is too challenging for them.

Abstract

This research reveals the importance of purifying the soul (tazkiyatun nafs) of the santri, which is realized in daily praiseworthy morality. The response that needs to be made by the world of education is to re-examine the formulation of moral education in teaching and learning in order to produce knowledgeable students who are able to utilize the knowledge they have learned. The implementation of Tazkiyat Nafs, in character building, is realized through a morally based curriculum, exemplary teachers, self-introspection programs, spiritual efforts, disciplinary training, and extracurricular activities. The purpose of the research is the application of Imam Ghazali's tazkiyat nafs in the moral development of Pondok Modern Al-Aly Bojonegoro students, as well as integration in the curriculum and akhlaq development program. The research uses qualitative methods through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results showed that Imam Ghazali developed tazkiyat nafs through self-cleansing from despicable traits and replacing them with praiseworthy habits. The application of this concept through the stages of muhasabah, mujahadah, and riyadah is effective in the moral education of students, although there are inhibiting and supporting factors that arise. It is hoped that the research will have an impact on the implementation of applied learning.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology in the digital era demands that the field of education adapt by creating learning models that are contextual, personalized, and meaningful. One relevant approach to addressing this challenge is Deep Learning, which integrates artificial intelligence with experiential, pedagogy-based methods. This study aims to examine the implementation of the Deep Learning approach in the learning process at Hayat School Bandung SCM (School of Creative Minds) and its impact on the development of 21st-century competencies and student character. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using techniques such as observation, documentation, and interviews with educators, students, and parents, alongside an analysis of the curriculum and supporting facilities at Hayat School. Data were analyzed inductively to uncover the meanings and transformative practices within the learning process. The findings reveal that the Deep Learning approach is applied through contextual learning, active reflection, meaningful discussions, project-based learning (PjBL), and a personalized curriculum. Teachers, referred to as "Kakak Fasil" (Facilitator Siblings), serve as facilitators who encourage student exploration and self-awareness. This approach proves effective in enhancing critical thinking skills, social empathy, and student spirituality. The discussion highlights that a tauhidullah-based curriculum and inclusive learning facilities support the success of this approach. In conclusion, Deep Learning at Hayat School not only improves academic quality but also shapes holistic individuals who are prepared to face future challenges with a strong internalization of Islamic values.

Abstract

This article examines the impact of digital transformation and scientific development on Islamic thought, education, and society. It explores how the stagnation of rational inquiry following the post-Ibn Rushd era, compounded by the closure of ijtihad and the dominance of dogmatic interpretations, has weakened the intellectual capacity of Muslims to respond to contemporary global challenges. Drawing from theories of scientific paradigm shifts (Kuhn), future shock (Toffler), and knowledge society (Kumar), the study argues that Islamic education must adapt by integrating digital technologies, reformulating epistemology, and reviving the Islamization of science. It highlights both opportunities and threats in the digital era, including the rise of online da'wah and virtual Islamic learning, as well as the misuse of digital media for radicalism and pornography. The paper concludes that reimagining Islamic knowledge systems—through critical, ethical, and innovative engagement with digital tools—is essential to ensure Islam’s relevance in the 21st century. Strategic recommendations are offered to realign Islamic education with the demands of the digital age, while preserving its core spiritual values.

Abstract

This study examines the role of tafsir tarbawi in the epistemic decolonization of Islamic education through a critical analysis of QS. Al-‘Alaq: 1–5. The objective of this research is to deconstruct the colonization of knowledge systems rooted in modern educational paradigms and to accommodate cognitive justice by integrating Qur’anic values, local wisdom, and contemporary scientific knowledge, using QS. Al-‘Alaq: 1–5 as the analytical framework. Employing a qualitative approach with critical discourse analysis, this study explores classical and contemporary tafsir texts as well as academic literature to uncover the deeper meanings of these verses in relation to the decolonization of Islamic educational epistemology. The findings reveal that the verses of QS. Al-‘Alaq: 1–5 serve not only as a call to literacy but also as an imperative to critically examine and reflect on reality through a holistic tawhid-based lens. The study indicates that the tafsir tarbawi approach effectively challenges the dominance of Western epistemology and offers opportunities for curriculum reform and pedagogical methods that are more inclusive, interdisciplinary, and grounded in cognitive justice. The implications of this research support the development of optimized educational strategies through the use of information technology, educator training, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to establish an Islamic education system that is independent, just, and responsive to global challenges.

Abstract

Implementation of the Merdeka curriculum emphasizes learning that adapts to students' needs, interests, and readiness. However, in practice, assessment in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects still tends to be uniform and does not reflect the principle of differentiation. Subjects still tend to be uniform and do not reflect the principle of differentiation. This study aims to analyze the suitability of PAI assessment instruments with the principle of differentiated learning. Principle of differentiated learning. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews with PAI teachers in junior and senior high schools. Data analysis was conducted through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that most teachers had not developed an assessment that paid attention to individual student variations. The main obstacle is the lack of teachers' understanding of differentiated assessment and limited training. Conclusions indicate the need for teacher capacity building, policy support, and integration of differentiation principles in lesson planning and evaluation.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the growing need for a systematic examination of research methods in the psychology of religion, a field still largely dominated by quantitative approaches and lacking integration of qualitative and interdisciplinary perspectives. As research paradigms shift toward more contextual and phenomenological orientations, a comprehensive mapping of methodological trends has become essential. The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends, sources, and themes of scientific publications on research methods in the psychology of religion during the 2015–2025 period and to provide recommendations for future methodological development. Using a quantitative bibliometric approach, 160 publications were collected from the Scopus database and analyzed with Publish or Perish, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Word through a descriptive qualitative lens. The findings reveal a significant increase in publication volume, peaking in 2025, although only 44.4% directly address the core topic of psychology of religion. Most publications (93.1%) appeared in academic journals, indicating the dominance of digital dissemination in scientific communication. Analysis of active contributors identified five researchers from different countries, reflecting the field’s global and interdisciplinary nature. The keyword “religion” appeared most frequently, whereas “qualitative study” remained peripheral and insufficiently integrated into the main discourse. The study highlights the need to strengthen qualitative approaches within the psychology of religion to deepen understanding of subjective experience, personal meaning, and spiritual dimensions more holistically.
