Abstract

The Sekolah Mengaji Program is a religious education policy initiated by the Bandung Regency Government as a mandatory local content subject in elementary and junior high schools. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Sekolah Mengaji Program at SMP Negeri 1 Cangkuang, focusing on the planning, execution, and evaluation stages. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis, involving the principal, Islamic education teachers, guru mengaji, and students. The findings indicate that the program was systematically and collaboratively planned, with strong coordination between school stakeholders and teaching staff. Implementation included reading, writing, and memorizing the Qur’an (BTHQ), adapted to students’ proficiency levels. Although traditional teaching methods dominate, teachers demonstrated responsive adaptation to students' needs. Evaluation was conducted periodically through progress monitoring and documentation of student achievements. The study concludes that the program has been effectively managed, yet further improvements are needed in instructional innovation and teacher capacity-building to enhance its overall impact.

Abstract

Critical thinking is an essential skill for students in the 21st century, enabling them to analyze, evaluate, and make rational decisions. However, students’ critical thinking in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) often remains low, as learning tends to emphasize memorization rather than analytical skills. This study aims to (1) describe students’ critical thinking skills when taught using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model, (2) describe students’ critical thinking skills when taught using the Jigsaw cooperative model, and (3) compare the differences between the two approaches. The research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a posttest only non-equivalent control group. The participants were 22 tenth-grade students of SMKN 10 Bandung, divided into two classes: 11 students in the experimental group (PBL) and 11 students in the control group (Jigsaw). Data were collected through a critical thinking test adapted from Ennis’ indicators and analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The results revealed that students taught with PBL achieved a higher mean score (M = 76.36, SD = 5.52) than those taught with Jigsaw (M = 61.82, SD = 13.83). The t-test indicated a significant difference between the two groups (t = 2.683, p < 0.05). The findings suggest that PBL is more effective in fostering students’ critical thinking compared to Jigsaw, as it engages learners in real-life problem solving and analytical reasoning.

Abstract

The integration of religious character education in vocational schools is an urgent need, as students are not only prepared for academic and professional competencies but also required to possess strong spiritual and moral foundations. This study aimed to explore the learning strategies employed by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in strengthening students’ religious character at SMK Islam Terpadu Al-Hidayah. This research applied a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with PAI teachers and students, classroom observations, and documentation analysis. The data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model, while data credibility was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings revealed three main strategies applied by PAI teachers. First, role modeling, in which teachers consistently exemplified religious values through daily attitudes and behaviors. Second, habituation strategies, including structured religious routines such as congregational prayers, Qur’an recitation, and dhikr. Third, integration of religious values into learning, in which Islamic teachings were contextualized with academic subjects and vocational practices, making them relevant to students’ personal and professional lives. In conclusion, the synergy of these strategies created a holistic and practical approach to character education that effectively strengthened students’ religiosity and discipline. The study recommends that vocational schools institutionalize religious character education alongside academic and vocational training to better prepare students for both workplace competence and ethical responsibility.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill for EFL learners, yet many students struggle to understand narrative texts due to limited vocabulary and difficulty analyzing textual structure. This study aimed to improve students’ reading comprehension through the use of comic strips as a learning medium. The research employed a classroom action research design with two cycles, each consisting of four meetings. The participants were 36 eighth-grade students of SMP Al-Hikmah Cipatat in the academic year 2024/2025. Data were collected through reading comprehension tests, observation checklists, questionnaires, and documentation. The results showed a steady improvement in students’ reading comprehension. The mean score increased from 58.61 in the pre-test to 68.19 in post-test I, and finally to 78.47 in post-test II, indicating that the mastery criterion was achieved by more than 75% of students. Observational data confirmed higher engagement and participation, while questionnaire responses revealed that students perceived comic strips as enjoyable and helpful in understanding narrative structure. In conclusion, the use of comic strips successfully enhanced students’ comprehension of narrative texts by combining visual and textual elements that facilitated both literal and inferential understanding. This study suggests that comic strips can serve as an effective and motivating medium in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Textbooks play a crucial role in English language teaching, particularly in vocational schools where materials are expected to support students’ professional and communicative needs. However, many textbooks still provide general English content without sufficient attention to specific vocational contexts. This study aimed to evaluate the English textbook used by eleventh-grade tourism vocational students and to analyze its relevance to learners’ academic and workplace needs. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design using a triangulation of instruments: a textbook evaluation checklist, student questionnaires, and teacher interviews. The data were analyzed thematically and descriptively to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the textbook in relation to the 2013 Curriculum and the requirements of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The findings revealed that the textbook was only partially aligned with the needs of tourism students. While it covered general language skills, it lacked listening activities, contained insufficient tourism-related vocabulary, and offered limited authentic tasks relevant to the tourism industry. Teachers reported supplementing the textbook with authentic resources to bridge the gap between classroom learning and workplace demands. In conclusion, the study highlights the urgent need for vocational English textbooks that are based on systematic needs analysis and that integrate authentic, domain-specific tasks. It is recommended that future textbook development for vocational schools focus on industry relevance to better prepare students for employability and career success in tourism.
