Abstract

This study aims to examine the revitalization of Furudul ‘Ainiyah learning as a strategy to improve the religious understanding of students in the Az-Zainiyah area of Pondok Pesantren Nurul Jadid Paiton. Furudul ‘Ainiyah includes the fundamental religious obligations that every Muslim must know, such as purification, prayer, fasting, and daily life etiquette, yet traditional monotonous learning methods tend to restrict students’ understanding to theoretical aspects. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, with data analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, this study found that the revitalization of Furudul ‘Ainiyah learning had a positive impact on students’ religious understanding. Students not only better understood the basic concepts of worship but also practiced them consistently in their daily lives. Moreover, the learning process became more active, interactive, and meaningful, thereby strengthening students’ religious identity within the pesantren environment. The findings indicate that the revitalization of Furudul ‘Ainiyah learning can serve as an effective model for developing pesantren education in improving the quality of students’ religious understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of local governments in protecting and providing educational support to female workers in the informal sector, with a focus on those engaged in nighttime economic activities. As the number of women in the informal sector rises, they face various risks without sufficient protection, highlighting the need for government intervention. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation from government agencies and female workers in the sector. The findings reveal that the local government's role is not fully optimized. As a regulator, there are no specific local regulations to protect female workers. As a facilitator, efforts to coordinate and provide mentoring remain fragmented. In its protective role, the government's actions are limited to general socialization and security patrols without direct protection programs. As a service provider, public services fail to address the real needs of these workers. The study concludes that the local government's role needs strengthening across all areas—regulation, facilitation, protection, and service provision—through the establishment of targeted policies, improved coordination, and the creation of sustainable, needs-based protection programs to ensure the welfare and safety of women in the informal sector.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the demands of the reform era, which emphasizes the improvement of education quality through the strategic role of the madrasah principal not only as a manager but also as a visionary leader capable of creating a conducive work environment and promoting teacher professionalism. The participatory and Islamic-oriented leadership style at the madrasah is considered to have a positive impact on teachers’ enthusiasm and sense of responsibility. This research uses a quantitative correlational approach with survey instruments to determine the extent to which leadership style influences teacher performance. The results show that the principal’s leadership style has a very significant effect on teacher performance, with a contribution of 88.5%. In comparison, the remaining 11.5% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings emphasize the crucial role of leadership style in enhancing teacher performance and the overall quality of education at madrasah.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze accessibility for people with disabilities in higher education, focusing on both physical and non-physical dimensions as part of inclusive campus policies. A qualitative approach was used, employing interviews, observations, and document reviews of campus policies and facilities. The results show that, in the physical aspect, several facilities, such as ramps, accessible toilets, and wheelchairs, have been provided in the main buildings. However, issues such as limited distribution, the lack of elevators, and outdated building designs that do not meet universal design standards hinder mobility and academic participation. In terms of non-physical accessibility, the institution has established a Disability Service Unit and a social inclusion unit as part of its commitment. Informal social support from lecturers and peers is also available, though there is a shortage of professional assistants. There is a need for enhanced training, policy coordination, and a more inclusive organizational structure. The implications of this research provide policy recommendations based on social models and universal design principles to improve inclusive campuses. Future research could expand to comparative studies at the national level.

Abstract

This study aims to develop flipped classroom-based teaching materials to enhance students' comprehension skills in English Correspondence, a critical course for fostering professional written communication in international business contexts. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) approach, specifically the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Expert validation of the materials yielded a high validity score of 86%. A small-group trial yielded an 84% practicality score, indicating the usability of the materials. Effectiveness was measured through a pretest and posttest, revealing a moderate improvement in student comprehension with an N-gain score of 0.54. These findings suggest that the flipped classroom model enhances students' engagement, supports independent learning, and strengthens both theoretical and practical understanding of English business correspondence. The developed materials demonstrate the potential of flipped classrooms in improving comprehension skills and learning outcomes in English Correspondence courses. This research highlights the practical implications of innovative teaching strategies in higher education.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a strategy for developing teacher competency in the context of the Independent Curriculum. The study was conducted using a desk study method, reviewing scientific literature, research reports, and relevant education policy documents, particularly those published between 2015 and 2024. The analysis shows that Continuing Professional Development (CPD) serves as a strategic instrument for continuously improving teachers' pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) not only helps teachers adapt to curriculum changes, such as differentiated and project-based learning, but also enhances professionalism, motivation, and learning innovation. However, the implementation of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in Indonesia faces challenges, including time constraints, inconsistent material quality, varying teacher motivation, and disparities in access across regions. Therefore, optimizing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requires targeted strategies, such as tailoring programs to teachers' real needs, utilizing digital technology, strengthening collaboration through Professional Learning Communities (PLC), and ongoing monitoring and evaluation.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has changed the paradigm of public communication, particularly in the public relations practices of public organisations. The main challenge for public relations in the digital era is how to build and maintain an institution's reputation amid the rapid, dynamic flow of information. This study aims to analyse the forms of digital public relations innovation that utilise social media as a strategic space for building public reputation. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach, employing library-based research techniques to analyse literature, scientific journals, and digital documents related to public communication and reputation management. The results show that public relations innovation in the digital era encompasses three main aspects: transforming public relations from a communicator to a digital reputation manager, optimising social media for public dialogue, and using data analysis and information transparency to strengthen public trust. These innovations significantly enhance the legitimacy, credibility, and positive image of public institutions. Thus, digital public relations functions not only as a disseminator of information, but also as a participatory and strategic relationship manager in building organisational reputation in the digital era.

Abstract

Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the development and sustainability of every nation, particularly in developing countries where educational advancement directly influences national progress. The Team Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model has been recognized for its potential to enhance students’ academic achievement, collaboration, and engagement. However, its effectiveness can be further optimized through the integration of digital interactive media that align with contemporary learning needs. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the TGT learning model supported by digital media through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) complemented by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. Relevant empirical studies were identified and reviewed to explore trends, research gaps, and the overall impact of TGT in digital learning environments. The findings indicate that digital-assisted TGT not only fosters active learning and motivation but also enhances critical thinking and teamwork skills. This review highlights the importance of integrating cooperative learning models with digital innovations to promote more interactive, engaging, and effective educational experiences.

Abstract

The demand for socio-emotional competencies in education increasingly emphasizes the importance of integrating affective literacy into Islamic pedagogy. This study aims to develop a framework for socio-emotional education grounded in Islamic values by examining affective literacy practices in religious learning. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through interviews with teachers and students, classroom observations, non-formal activities, and document analysis. These data were then analyzed through data condensation, display, and verification. The results of the study show three main findings: first, Islamic pedagogy is successfully integrated with affective literacy by linking verses and hadiths to students' emotional experiences; second, non-formal activities function as a socio-emotional laboratory to train empathy, patience, and cooperation; third, these practices produce a comprehensive framework that includes Qur'anic values, reflective learning, non-formal practices, and ongoing development. This study contributes by offering an Islamic alternative to the Western Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) model. This study recommends the application of an Islamic-based socio-emotional framework to strengthen moral and emotional intelligence in various educational institutions.
