Abstract

This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Madrasah learning to improve the quality of education. The main issue addressed is how AI-assisted learning media can help Madrasah students understand the learning material, foster creativity, and enhance communication skills. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of AI-based media on the learning process and student learning outcomes in Madrasah. This research employs a mixed-methods approach with qualitative analysis assisted by NVivo to explore the experiences of students and teachers in using AI technology. The findings indicate that AI media significantly facilitates the understanding of learning materials, encourages student creativity, and improves their ability to communicate both verbally and non-verbally. The impact of AI media not only supports the improvement of the quality of learning but also provides a more interactive and personalized learning experience. The implications of this research show that while AI technology holds great potential, access to technological infrastructure and data security for students remain major challenges. This study recommends further research and the development of policies that support equitable access and data protection for more effective AI implementation in Madrasah.

Abstract

This study examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI)-based learning media in shaping the self-identity of elementary school children, by highlighting the relational contribution of family and social environment in the context of Islamic education. The main problem lies in how AI can be used not only to improve learning outcomes, but also as a pedagogical instrument in strengthening children's character and self-identity expression. The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of integrating AI media in the learning process and its impact on students' cognitive, affective, and social dimensions. This study uses a qualitative approach with a field study at State Elementary School 2 Konawe Selatan, supported by thematic analysis using the N-Vivo device. The results of the study indicate that AI media significantly improves conceptual understanding, multimodal communication skills, and forms students' self-identity that is more reflective, confident, and collaborative. In addition, AI also functions as a relational bridge between teachers, students, and parents. These findings provide important implications for the design of technology-based Islamic pedagogy as well as recommendations for curriculum development, teacher training, and future-oriented madrasah education policies.

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of inadequate internalization of civic values in Civic Education (Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan or PPKn) at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) level, which remains dominated by conventional and less contextual teaching methods. The research aims to examine the effectiveness of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in fostering students’ civic attitudes through PPKn instruction. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study was conducted at an MI in Kendari City. The informants consisted of PPKn teachers and upper-grade students. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through source and technique triangulation. The results reveal that the implementation of PjBL significantly enhances students’ sense of responsibility, cooperation, tolerance, and social awareness. These findings contribute to the theory of experiential civic education and offer practical implications for developing more transformative, contextual, and student-centered PPKn learning in primary Islamic schools.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) based on the nation's struggle stories can enhance the spirit of nationalism among students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) in Kendari City. The main issue addressed is how to integrate the teaching of national struggle history to foster a sense of nationalism among young learners. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and students, classroom observations, and documentation of learning products. The data analysis technique used is thematic analysis, with data validity ensured through source triangulation. The findings show that the implementation of PjBL based on national struggle stories significantly improves students' understanding of national history and strengthens their sense of nationalism. Through active involvement in projects such as creating models and documentary videos, students feel more connected to national values. As a result, they demonstrate improved national character, a greater sense of pride in Indonesia’s history, and a stronger spirit of unity. This research provides important implications for curriculum development and experience-based teaching methodologies that emphasize national values in primary education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) strategies in enhancing civic attitudes among students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic Elementary Schools). The research was motivated by the persistent gap between civic knowledge and actual civic behavior observed in elementary-level learners, which indicates the need for more meaningful and experience-based learning approaches. The objective of this study is to explore how CTL strategies contribute to the development of civic attitudes through real-life contextualization of learning materials. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research was conducted at a Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Kendari, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, and analyzed using an interactive model involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that contextual learning fosters students’ active participation, strengthens value internalization, and improves civic behaviors such as tolerance, social responsibility, and democratic engagement. These results imply that CTL is an effective pedagogical strategy for character-building in civic education, particularly within religious-based elementary institutions. The study recommends broader implementation of CTL in civic instruction and further research to evaluate its long-term impact on students’ character development.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited availability of instructional materials that explicitly integrate character education in civic education (PPKn) at the elementary level, particularly within the context of Islamic schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah). The primary aim of this research is to develop a student worksheet (LKPD) for PPKn that is based on character education and focused on the topic of rights, obligations, and responsibilities. Employing a qualitative approach with a research and development (R&D) design, the study was conducted at a Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Kendari City. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, involving teachers and students as key informants. The results indicate that the developed LKPD meets the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. It facilitates active student engagement and supports the internalization of core character values such as responsibility, empathy, and social awareness. The findings suggest that integrating character education through well-designed LKPDs can enhance both cognitive and affective learning outcomes in civic education. This research contributes to the development of character-based instructional tools and provides a practical model for educators aiming to cultivate civic virtues in early education settings.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the initial understanding of elementary school (MI) students regarding the concept of population and the Indonesian government system, and to assess the effect of using contextual learning media in improving this understanding. The main issues raised are how MI students understand these abstract concepts and the extent to which contextual media can help facilitate deeper understanding. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive study design, involving observation, interviews, and documentation in several MIs in Kendari City. The research informants consisted of students, teachers, and principals. The results of the study indicate that although students have basic knowledge about the population and the Indonesian government system, their understanding is still limited to factual and theoretical aspects. The use of contextual media that is relevant to students' daily lives can improve their understanding, making these concepts easier to understand and accept. As a result, contextual media has been shown to increase student engagement in learning and help them relate the material to their social lives, introducing citizenship values ​​more effectively. This study suggests the use of more diverse media and further research with larger samples to deepen understanding of the implementation of contextual learning in elementary school.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji dinamika pengintegrasian amandemen UUD 1945 dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah dan implikasinya terhadap pemahaman siswa tentang nilai konstitusi. Permasalahan utama yang diangkat adalah bagaimana materi amandemen UUD 1945 diajarkan di tingkat madrasah dan sejauh mana siswa dapat menginternalisasi nilai-nilai konstitusional tersebut dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana pembelajaran tersebut diterapkan, tantangan yang dihadapi, dan dampaknya terhadap pembentukan karakter siswa. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, melibatkan wawancara dengan guru, observasi pembelajaran, dan analisis dokumen kurikulum di Madrasah Ibtidaiyah di Kota Kendari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun materi amandemen UUD 1945 telah diperkenalkan, pendekatan yang digunakan masih terbatas pada hafalan dan pemahaman tekstual, sehingga kurang memfasilitasi pemahaman kritis siswa. Dampaknya, siswa memiliki pemahaman yang terbatas mengenai nilai-nilai konstitusi. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya pengembangan metode pengajaran yang lebih kontekstual dan berbasis nilai-nilai demokrasi serta pelatihan bagi guru untuk memperkuat pembelajaran konstitusi yang efektif.
