Abstract

The digital transformation in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) has become an essential aspect of modernizing da’wah (Islamic preaching) while maintaining traditional values. This research examines how Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School has integrated digital platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and its official website to disseminate Islamic teachings and engage with a wider audience. The study aims to explore how digital da’wah can be effectively implemented without compromising local wisdom and Islamic principles. A qualitative case study approach was used, employing in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation of digital content. The findings reveal that Nurul Jadid has successfully embraced digital tools for preaching while preserving cultural and religious identity, with active student involvement as content creators under the supervision of kyai (Islamic scholars). Despite challenges such as limited resources and infrastructure, the school has adapted well to digital communication. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the balance between innovation and tradition in digital da’wah and offers a model for other pesantren to navigate similar transformations.

Approach: This study employs a qualitative design, utilizing case studies that involve in-depth interviews and observations to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of parental motivation. Research results indicate that the child’s participation influences parental motivation for education in the Community ethnic group, which involves balancing the preservation of culture and tradition with the demands of globalization and technological progress, in order to enhance welfare and the economy, while also striving to maintain community harmony.

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 aims to investigate the effectiveness of the inquiry method in teaching Maharah Qiro’ah for beginner-level (mubtadi’) students and to explore its implications for educational management in course institutions. The study employed a qualitative approach using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design at Lembaga Insan Kamil Probolinggo. Primary data sources included students and teachers, collected through observations, interviews, and learning documentation. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s techniques, including data reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings indicate that implementing the inquiry method significantly enhances students’ Maharah Qiro’ah skills, promoting more fluent and accurate Arabic reading and deeper comprehension of the text. Moreover, the method fosters students’ critical and analytical thinking in line with their cognitive development stages. From an educational management perspective, the inquiry method encourages active learning environments, improves teaching effectiveness, and provides a structured approach for monitoring and evaluating student progress. Therefore, the inquiry method not only serves as an effective instructional strategy for Maharah Qiro’ah but also contributes to the improvement of educational quality and management practices in course institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the urgency of integrating sociolinguistic principles into Arabic language learning to enhance social awareness, contextual understanding, and communicative competence among eighth-grade MTs students. Many learners struggle to adapt formal classroom Arabic to everyday communication, particularly in navigating dialectal variation, vocabulary choice, and Islamic communication norms. Addressing these challenges, the research aims to explore how sociolinguistics can be embedded within the Arabic curriculum to support more natural and context-appropriate speaking skills. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through literature analysis, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students. The findings reveal that sociolinguistic-based instruction enriches students’ maharah kalam, reduces speaking anxiety, and strengthens social interaction by enabling them to adjust language use to different contexts. These results imply the need for a more

Abstract

The role of educators in teaching a foreign language requires careful consideration, particularly in selecting effective teaching methods. This study aims to describe the implementation of the direct method in teaching Arabic speaking skills (maharah al-kalam) and its effect on improving the Arabic language program at Pesantren Khairul Ummah Putri Riau. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with female students of the pesantren as informants. Data were collected using triangulated techniques, including interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that applying the direct method in teaching speaking skills significantly enhances students’ oral proficiency and contributes to the overall improvement of the Arabic language program. The study highlights the necessity for educators’ creativity and pedagogical skills in designing effective speaking activities, as well as the importance of collaboration between teachers and students. These results imply that integrating management practices in educational planning and classroom organization can optimize language learning outcomes. By combining effective teaching methods with sound educational management, pesantren programs can achieve higher levels of learner engagement, skill acquisition, and program efficiency.

Abstract

Educational transformation in the era of digital disruption requires schools to build collaborative and adaptive cultures, which strongly depend on the quality of teacher leadership as instructional and learning leaders. However, many secondary schools still demonstrate weak teacher leadership due to hierarchical cultures and administrative, top-down approaches that restrict creativity and professional autonomy. This study aims to analyze the revitalization of teacher leadership based on school values and culture as a strategy for establishing a collaborative and adaptive learning ecosystem. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) through structured searches of national and international scientific sources, followed by rigorous screening based on relevance criteria and thematic analysis to identify patterns and formulate conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that professional values (trust, responsibility, collaboration, and innovation) and school culture serve as strategic foundations for strengthening teacher leadership, distributed leadership, and school transformation. The implications highlight the importance of teacher empowerment, participatory organizational restructuring, and the development of collective learning culture. In conclusion, revitalizing teacher leadership grounded in values and culture is essential for sustainable school transformation, and further empirical research is required to validate and operationalize its implementation in diverse secondary school contexts.

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. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design with a descriptive quantitative approach, focusing on two cycles of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. 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.
