Abstract

This study aims to analyse the management of the implementation of the Arabic language learning program. The research focuses on how the actuating function of educational management is applied in planning, organising, and implementing the learning process. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, the study involves two key informants: the head of the Arabic program and an Arabic language teacher. Data analysis follows the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the Arabic language learning program, initiated in 2020, is conducted daily after the dawn prayer with structured stages—introduction, core activities, and closing—using the thariqah mubasyarah and thariqah ta'bir methods. Learners are grouped into two levels — Ula and Wustho — based on their linguistic abilities, with a focus on four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The implementation demonstrates effective management of learning activities despite limitations in teaching staff and learning facilities. This study concludes that Arabic language learning management at Al-Hidayah Batu has been effectively implemented through motivational leadership, adaptive strategies, and the contextual application of educational management principles. The findings provide a practical model for other Islamic boarding schools to improve the quality of Arabic learning through efficient management and pedagogical integration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of BRK (Bondowoso Republic of Coffee) city branding in the management and marketing strategies of DOA Coffee MSMEs, and its impact on strengthening brand identity and the competitiveness of local products. The method used is a case study with a qualitative approach, involving interviews with business actors, coffee farmers, and related communities. The survey results indicate that implementing BRK city branding strengthens DOA Coffee's brand equity by increasing geographic legitimacy and fostering synergy among farmers, roasteries, and the tourism sector. Product differentiation strategies, storytelling, and digital marketing increase brand awareness and customer loyalty. In addition, glocal marketing and distribution through partnerships with tourist destinations and souvenir outlets expand market reach. The implications of this study indicate that BRK city branding can increase the competitiveness of coffee MSMEs by leveraging local identity and integrated marketing strategies. These findings contribute to the development of MSME strategies grounded in local potential and provide insights for business actors and the government in building a creative economy based on regionally superior products, with an emphasis on the role of education in enhancing MSME actors' capabilities.

Abstract

The transformation of Islamic boarding school education in the modern era presents challenges in maintaining the values of turats amidst increasingly dynamic social and cultural changes among students. This study aims to examine how dormitories act as spaces for cultural transformation, how the integration of learning creates the intellectual ethos of students, and how the process of turats transformation produces a contextual understanding of the holy book. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving kiai, ustaz, and students as key informants through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation of learning activities. The results of the study show three main findings: (1) the integration between classes and dormitories fosters an intellectual ethos through a culture of scientific discussion and shared reflection; (2) the transformation of turats gives rise to a more contextual understanding of the yellow book to the social reality of students, with 78% of respondents showing a significant increase in text comprehension; and (3) dormitory life functions as a space for cultural transformation, where values such as discipline, responsibility, and togetherness are internalized through routine halaqah and mudzakarah activities. The contribution of this research lies in affirming the concept of dormitories as spaces for scientific and cultural transformation, which integrate cognitive, affective, and social dimensions within the Islamic boarding school education system. The practical implications of this research emphasize the importance of strengthening the synergy between formal and non-formal learning as a strategy to maintain the relevance of turats education amidst changing times, while simultaneously shaping students with scientific, adaptive, and reflective cultural characters.

Abstract

Traditional Islamic book learning tends to emphasize text mastery but pays little attention to students' self-efficacy and learning independence. This study aims to analyze how the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum rapid book reading method influences the self-efficacy and psychological transformation of students through a systematic pedagogical approach based on intrinsic motivation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation of ustaz and students in the context of book learning in Islamic boarding schools. The results show that the Al-Miftah Lil Ulum method fosters self-confidence and learning independence through gradual success experiences, social and spiritual support, and reflective and collaborative learning interactions. Three main findings emerged: methodological construction based on successful experiences strengthens students' self-efficacy, the internalization of self-efficacy values through social and spiritual support increases motivation and emotional calm, and psychological transformation encourages the formation of sustainable learning autonomy. This study contributes to the development of Islamic pedagogical theory by emphasizing the importance of synergy between cognitive, affective, social, and spiritual dimensions in developing students' learning character, which is characterized by confidence, independence, and resilience.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the quality of test items by analyzing their validity, reliability, difficulty level, discriminating power, and distractor effectiveness in measuring students’ learning outcomes. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, involving sixth-grade students of Tarbiyatus Shibyan Elementary School, Duduksampeyan Gresik, during the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through documentation of students’ test results and analyzed using SPSS version 25 and Microsoft Excel. The findings reveal that most items meet the criteria for validity, as indicated by r-values exceeding the r-table or significance levels below 0.05. The reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s Alpha) also exceeds 0.6, demonstrating strong internal consistency. The difficulty level analysis shows that 68% of the items fall into the moderate category, with no items classified as difficult. However, the discriminating power is predominantly poor, with 72% of items showing indices below 0.19, and 24 items contain ineffective distractors. These results imply the need for improved item construction to ensure more accurate, fair, and balanced assessments in elementary education

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically ChatGPT, into the teaching of Arabic composition (insya) in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) offers significant potential for enhancing the quality and efficiency of Arabic language education. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of ChatGPT in improving the Arabic writing skills of santri at the mutawassith (middle) level in pesantren. The research employs a qualitative, descriptive phenomenological approach, using semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and focus group discussions to gather data. The findings reveal that while ChatGPT enhances student engagement and provides real-time feedback that improves grammatical accuracy, challenges such as limited access to technology, lack of technical competence, and concerns over cultural nuances and plagiarism remain. The study highlights the need for a collaborative approach involving educators, students, and AI developers to address these barriers. It contributes to the understanding of AI’s role in Islamic education, particularly in Arabic composition, and emphasizes the importance of blending AI tools with traditional pedagogical methods for a holistic learning experience. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of AI on language proficiency and cultural understanding.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve the Arabic vocabulary memorization skills of seventh-grade students at MI Nasy’atul Muta’allimin through the implementation of the drill method. Arabic language learning, particularly vocabulary acquisition, remains a significant challenge, especially in religious educational contexts where fluency is essential for understanding religious texts.

Data was collected using observation, tests, interviews, and documentation. The results showed a clear improvement in students' vocabulary memorization, with average scores rising from 62.1 in the pre-cycle to 82 in the second cycle, and the percentage of classical completion increasing from 35% to 80%. Interviews revealed increased student motivation and engagement. The study concludes that the drill method effectively enhances Arabic vocabulary retention and student enthusiasm. The contribution of this research lies in providing evidence for the effectiveness of active learning strategies in language acquisition, specifically in religious education settings, and offering practical solutions for language teachers.
