Abstract

Purpose of the study: to prove the influence of Islamic Religious Education learning on students' morals at Satria Nusantara Junior High School, North Tambun, Bekasi. Methodology: This study uses a survey method with correlational analysis techniques. The sample of this study was 45 eighth grade students of Satria Nusantara Junior High School, North Tambun, Bekasi Regency. Data collection used a questionnaire instrument to capture data on variables X and Y. The research variables consist of the independent variable, namely Islamic Religious Education learning, and the dependent variable, namely the morals of students of Satria Nusantara Junior High School, North Tambun, Bekasi Regency. The validity of the instrument was tested using the Product Moment formula and to determine its reliability, it was tested using the Cronbach Alpha formula. The data analysis technique used the Product Moment test and simple linear regression test, which had previously been tested for normality and homogeneity. Main Findings: there is an influence of Islamic Religious Education learning on students' morals which can be seen based on the calculated r value = 0.780 with a strong interpretation with a contribution of 60.8%, and a significance of t count = 8.168 > t table = 2.021. The regression equation Y = 48.28 + 0.65X shows that if Islamic Religious Education learning and students' morals are measured by the instrument used in this study, then every increase in one unit of Islamic Religious Education learning score (X) will be followed by a decrease in students' moral scores by 0.65 with a constant of 48.28. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers originality by empirically examining the impact of Islamic Education on students’ moral development in the context of a junior high school in Indonesia, a setting rarely highlighted in global discourse. Unlike previous research that emphasizes curriculum or pedagogy, this study quantitatively demonstrates the direct influence of Islamic Education on students’ character, contributing evidence-based insights to moral and religious education studies.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to determine the learning outcomes of students in Islamic Religious Education, identify students' religious behavior, and analyze the relationship or correlation between the learning outcomes of Islamic Religious Education and students' religious behavior. Methodology: In this study, the researcher used a quantitative correlational approach. The data analysis technique used a statistical formula, namely product-moment correlation. Main Findings: From the data analysis, it was found that student learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education were in the sufficient category with 38 respondents (74%), while students' religious behavior was also in the sufficient category with 41 respondents (80%). In addition, a positive correlation was found between Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes and students' religious behavior with a correlation coefficient of 0.336, which is included in the low relationship category.. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides new insights by empirically examining the correlation between learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education and students’ religious behavior, an area often discussed theoretically but rarely measured quantitatively. The findings highlight how academic performance aligns with spiritual development, offering practical guidance for educators to integrate moral and cognitive growth in junior high school curricula.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the impact of cross-cultural learning experiences on the formation and transformation of Islamic religious identity among Muslim students studying abroad. It explores how exposure to multicultural educational settings influences their faith, behavior, and understanding of Islam. Methodology: This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological design to examine the lived experiences of 15 Muslim students from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan studying in Turkey and Malaysia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and reflective journals, and analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s six-step framework. Main Findings: The results show that cross-cultural learning strengthens students’ religious identity through five main processes: reflective faith development, adaptive worship practices, intercultural dialogue, community-based support, and the emergence of a global Muslim identity. Students demonstrated spiritual resilience, deeper religious understanding, and intercultural competence while maintaining Islamic values in pluralistic environments. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces a holistic framework linking cross-cultural learning with Islamic religious identity formation. It highlights the role of intercultural engagement as a form of reflective religiosity that strengthens faith through dialogue and adaptation. The findings advance the field of Islamic education by positioning cross-cultural experience as a pedagogical model for fostering wasatiyyah, resilience, and global Muslim consciousness.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze how Islamic education reform in Western developing contexts influences the redefinition of teacher professionalism within Islamic moral and epistemological frameworks. It seeks to explore the dialectic between faith-based values and secular educational structures through an interpretive conceptual review. Methodology: The research employs a qualitative literature review using the Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS) approach. A total of 35 academic sources from 2010–2024 were selected from Scopus, SpringerLink, and Taylor & Francis databases. The synthesis critically integrates theoretical and empirical literature on Islamic education reform, teacher professionalism, and pedagogical renewal in developing Western societies. Main Findings: The synthesis reveals that reform in Islamic education functions as an epistemological reconstruction that redefines professionalism from a moral-spiritual foundation. Teachers in Western developing contexts act as mediators between Islamic ethics and plural educational demands. Reform initiatives emphasize ta’dib (ethical discipline), ihsan (excellence), and intercultural competence as the core of teacher professionalism, transforming education into a moral and spiritual enterprise. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes a conceptual framework of integrative professionalism, merging Islamic epistemology with global education theory. It offers a new understanding of how Islamic reform can serve as an ethical corrective to modern professionalism, positioning teachers as agents of spiritual renewal and social transformation in plural learning environments.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examines Islamic character education strategies implemented to prevent bullying behavior at Madrasah Aliyah Baitul Arqam, Aceh Besar. Methodology: A qualitative case study design was employed involving 15 informants, including the school principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, guidance and counseling teachers, and students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques supported by triangulation. Main Findings: The findings indicate significant qualitative outcomes, including positive behavioral changes among students, increased awareness of the psychological and social impacts of bullying, stronger internalization of Islamic moral values, and a noticeable reduction in bullying incidents. Islamic character education is systematically implemented through teacher role modeling, religious habituation, moral instruction, and Islamic-based disciplinary practices. These mechanisms cultivate empathy, self-regulation, mutual respect, and a sense of safety within the school environment. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research introduces an integrative Islamic preventive model that combines character education and Islamic conflict resolution such as nasihah, musyawarah, and spiritual guidance as an effective framework for bullying prevention in Islamic secondary education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the transformation of the Islamic curriculum in the Indonesian archipelago during the Dutch and Japanese colonial periods. The study focuses on the influence of colonial policies on the direction, structure, and content of the curriculum in Islamic boarding schools, prayer rooms, and madrasas, as well as the role of Islamic ethnopedagogy in preserving the character of Islamic education based on tradition and local wisdom. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative-historical approach with heuristic, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography stages. Data were obtained from colonial archives, education regulations, curriculum documents, textbooks, and national and international scientific journals. All sources were described in a historical-critical and ethnopedagogical manner to identify changes in the objectives, structure, content, and value orientation of the Islamic education curriculum in the colonial socio-cultural context. Main Findings: The results show that Dutch colonial policy was repressive and restricted Islamic educational institutions and curricula, while Japan was more cooperative, albeit oriented towards the interests of the war. These differences in policy led to significant changes in institutional structure and curriculum content. In this context, Islamic ethnopedagogical values based on local traditions played an important role in maintaining the Islamic identity of the archipelago's communities. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is unique in that it places the Islamic education curriculum as the main focus of analysis in the colonial context using an Islamic ethnopedagogy approach. Unlike previous studies that emphasized institutional aspects or colonial policies, this study shows the integration of local Islamic cultural values in the curriculum as a strategy for pedagogical adaptation and resistance, as well as its contribution to the development of a local wisdom-based Islamic curriculum.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the challenges of Islamic literacy among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) students from the perspective of Islamic educational philosophy, emphasizing the interrelation between basic literacy skills, learning processes, and the support provided by family and school environments. Methodology: Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, the quantitative phase involved administering Islamic literacy tests and questionnaires to 127 students in grades 5 and 6, followed by qualitative data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation to deepen the analysis. Main Findings: The findings indicate that students’ Islamic literacy levels fall within the moderate category, with particularly low performance in reading hijaiyah letters and understanding the meanings of Islamic texts. Additional inhibiting factors include the predominance of lecture-based teaching, limited use of varied learning media, low student reading interest, and insufficient literacy facilities both at home and in the madrasah. Parental support was also found to be limited, resulting in inconsistent literacy habits. From the standpoint of Islamic educational philosophy, these conditions reflect a significant gap between the ideal goal of forming the insan kamil and the actual literacy competencies of students, which have not yet been integrated across cognitive, spiritual, and moral dimensions. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study underscores the need to strengthen a comprehensive Islamic literacy ecosystem by enhancing pedagogical strategies, improving literacy facilities, and fostering family–school collaboration to support the formation of Islamic character from an early age.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to explore students’ perspectives on the importance of Arabic as a foundation for understanding Islamic Religious Education in the digital era, focusing on how Arabic supports students’ comprehension of Islamic texts, learning experiences, and engagement with Islamic Religious Education content. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through written open-ended interviews administered via Google Forms to 17 students from three study programs at an Islamic higher education institution. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s framework. Main Findings: The findings indicate that students perceive Arabic as a fundamental foundation for understanding Islamic Religious Education, particularly in comprehending Qur’anic verses, religious terminology, and course materials. Arabic is viewed as a functional tool rather than the ultimate learning goal. Digital technology is utilized to support Arabic learning, especially for vocabulary and terminology, although it does not replace lecturers’ guidance. Students also face linguistic challenges, such as difficulties in nahwu (syntax), sarf (morphology), and limited vocabulary, as well as non-linguistic challenges related to motivation and the learning environment. Novelty/Originality of this study: While previous studies have predominantly examined the urgency of Arabic mastery, its curricular effectiveness, or the technical integration of digital media in Arabic and Islamic Religious Education learning, limited attention has been given to how students themselves interpret and negotiate Arabic as an epistemic foundation within digitally mediated learning environments. This study advances the literature by synthesizing students’ perspectives across four interrelated dimensions epistemic positioning, interpretive mediation, digitally mediated engagement, and multidimensional challenges thereby offering a more complex and experiential account of Arabic learning in Islamic higher education.
