Abstract

The TOEFL Reading Section presents a number of challenges for students, ranging from advanced vocabulary to dense academic passages to time management pressures. This abstract presents both the general obstacles faced by students when attempting to comprehend TOEFL reading tasks and those particular approaches that they apply to overcome these difficulties. This is a descriptive qualitative research.  Twenty-two of 7th semesters in English language education study program who enrolled in the TOEFL preparation class batch 7 were selected purposively to be the respondents of this study.  The instrument is in depth interview. Then the result of the interview was analyzed by contextual Analysis: Analyze how these themes emerge in different contexts or situations. Pay attention to nuances, such as differences between demographic groups, changes over time, or situational factors that might affect responses. The paper, based on the literature review and student feedback review, emphasizes strategic reading approaches-such as skimming, scanning, and making inferences-to enhance comprehension. Regular practice and resources outside of class, such as vocabulary-building tools and online reading comprehension exercises, are also emphasized. Results showed that students who have more actively practiced these strategies have increased their comprehension and time efficiency, and therefore did better on the TOEFL reading. This study emphasizes the importance of targeted instructional support in preparing students for the TOEFL in their acquisition of not only the requisite skills but also the self-confidence to succeed.

Abstract

This article aims to explore and analyze the concept and implementation of ethical leadership within the Islamic education system from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The data in this study were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method through library research. The researchers collected information from academic journals, books, and policy documents related to Islamic education and leadership ethics. They then used content analysis to review and compare the information, looking for patterns and key ideas. The analysis was guided by theories of ethical leadership and focused on how these ideas are applied in real Islamic educational institutions. The findings indicate that ethical leadership plays a central role in strengthening organizational culture, managing conflict, enhancing work motivation, and improving strategic decision-making in Islamic educational institutions. Core values such as honesty, trustworthiness, justice, deliberation, and exemplary behavior are essential foundations that must be internalized by every Islamic educational leader. The prophetic leadership model, which emphasizes moral and spiritual dimensions, is considered ideal for developing transformative and competitive educational institutions. Therefore, strengthening ethical leadership is a strategic necessity for realizing a quality and character-based Islamic education system.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the letter recognition ability of children aged 4–5 years using the Movable Alphabet Montessori media at TK IT Al-Hafiz Cendekia. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the study followed the Kemmis and McTaggart model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. The research subjects were 20 children (10 boys and 10 girls) selected through purposive sampling based on their age group and observed challenges in letter recognition. Data collection was conducted through structured observation and documentation of classroom activities. The indicators used in observations included fine motor coordination (hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, and muscle control), letter identification accuracy, and student engagement during activities. Data analysis was carried out using both quantitative methods—calculating the percentage of students meeting learning criteria—and qualitative methods—analyzing field notes and documentation for insights into learning behavior. In Cycle I, only 20% of children reached the target criteria. However, Cycle II showed improvement with 75% achieving the desired outcomes. These findings demonstrate that the Movable Alphabet media effectively enhances early literacy development through hands-on, child-centered learning experiences.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to validate the validity and usefulness of the Magnetic Numbers Book, a learning tool for teaching number concepts to children ages 5 to 6. This study uses Tessmer's formative assessment in conjunction with the ADDIE paradigm (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) as part of the Research and Development (R&D) approach. Techniques for gathering data include observations and walkthroughs. The instrument used includes an observation sheet based on indicators such as number recognition, number-symbol matching, grouping, and classification. These indicators are derived from the cognitive development standards for children aged 5–6 years. The collected data were analyzed quantitatively by calculating the percentage scores from expert validations and observational assessments during one-to-one and small group evaluations. During the expert review phase, the average validation score was 93% (highly valid), with media experts scoring 97% (very valid) and material experts scoring 89% (highly valid). In the one-to-one evaluation stage involving three children, the observation results indicated a practicality score of 93% (highly practical), whereas in the small group evaluation stage with nine children, the observation score reached 97% (highly practical). Based on the research findings, the Magnetic Numbers Book is deemed highly valid and highly practical, making it suitable for use in the learning process for children aged 5–6 years.

Abstract

Examining the issues, developments, and adjustments that the Islamic educational system has made in response to shifting times, global dynamics, and technological breakthroughs is the aim of this research.  Data was gathered using a qualitative approach using the library research method, including literature, policy papers, and prior study findings.  The results of the theme analysis demonstrate that the Islamic education system faces a variety of issues, both global and national.  These problems include the industrial revolution, government regulations, disjointed learning methodologies, and the expectations of 21st-century competence performance. At the national level, the low accreditation and recognition of religious educational institutions is also major obstacle. As a result, several innovations have been developed, including interactive teaching techniques, the adaptable curriculum that combines contemporary science with Islamic ideals, and the use of digital technology in the classroom. In addition, the Islamic education system also shows efforts to adapt to the times through the transformation of educational orientation, the adoption of 21st-century methods, and the integration of intra-, co-, and extra-curricular learning. These findings show that despite facing complex challenges, the Islamic education system in Indonesia has great potential to develop adaptively, innovatively, and relevantly in responding to current and future educational needs.
