Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of dormitory supervisors as agents of Islamic character transformation through the enforcement of student discipline in an Islamic boarding school environment. The study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that dormitory supervisors play a significant role in fostering Islamic character through role modeling, habituation, supervision, and a dialogic-persuasive approach to discipline enforcement. Discipline was found to function not only as a mechanism for behavioral control but also as a means of internalizing Islamic values that promote responsibility, rule compliance, independence, and self-control among students. Furthermore, the integration of modern caregiving practices with local pesantren values strengthens the effectiveness of character development efforts. This study highlights that a dialogic-persuasive approach to discipline enforcement contributes to the transformation of students’ Islamic character and may serve as a model for strengthening character education in Islamic boarding schools.

Abstract

Verbal bullying in elementary schools remains a persistent problem that is often overlooked as a normal aspect of children's social interaction, despite its potential psychological and socio-emotional consequences. This study aims to examine how teachers’ interpersonal communication strategies facilitate the internalization of Islamic values in addressing verbal bullying among elementary school students. A qualitative case study design was employed in an Islamic elementary school in West Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis involving four teachers and nine students. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal three interconnected communication strategies; i) preventive communication through role modeling (uswah hasanah) and greeting habituation; ii) responsive communication through gentle speech (qawlan layyinan) and empathetic dialogue; and iii) restorative communication through personal advice (mau‘izah hasanah) and the reinforcement of brotherhood values (ukhuwwah). These strategies facilitated the internalization of Islamic values such as rahmah (compassion), ‘iffah al-lisan (ethical speech), and ta‘āwun (mutual assistance), which contributed to reducing verbal bullying tendencies and strengthening students’ awareness of respectful communication. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic educational communication by proposing a value-based interpersonal communication framework for bullying prevention and intervention in elementary school settings.

Abstract

Religious moderation has become increasingly important in addressing the challenges of contemporary social life shaped by digital technology, rapid information exchange, and intensified intercultural and interreligious interactions. This study examines the role of religious moderation in fostering tolerance amid digital diversity and explores the challenges posed by the spread of intolerant, provocative, and radical content on digital platforms. Employing a qualitative library research design with a content analysis approach, data were collected from scholarly journals, books, policy documents, and other relevant literature on religious moderation and digital social dynamics. The findings indicate that religious moderation contributes significantly to promoting social harmony through the reinforcement of tolerance, interfaith dialogue, inclusivity, and responsible digital literacy. The study also reveals that hate speech, social polarization, misinformation, and the misuse of social media constitute major obstacles to the development of tolerant digital communities. Furthermore, effective implementation of religious moderation requires collaborative efforts among educational institutions, governments, religious leaders, and civil society organizations. The study concludes that religious moderation serves as a critical framework for strengthening social cohesion, preserving national unity, and fostering peaceful coexistence within increasingly diverse digital societies.

Abstract

The low level of Quranic memorization ability among elementary school students remains a challenge in Islamic education. This condition is reflected in students' lack of fluency in memorization, inaccuracies in the application of tajwid and makhraj, and difficulties in retaining previously memorized verses. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Tikrar method in improving the Quranic memorization ability of elementary school students. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design through the administration of pretests and posttests. The population consisted of 39 students, while 11 students were selected as the research sample using purposive sampling. Data were collected through Quranic memorization tests, observations, and documentation. Students' memorization ability was assessed based on fluency, accuracy of tajwid, accuracy of makhraj, accuracy in recalling verses, and self-confidence. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to compare students' performance before and after the treatment. The findings revealed an improvement in students' Quranic memorization ability following the implementation of the Tikrar method. Improvements were observed in memorization fluency, reading accuracy, and students' confidence in reciting their memorized verses. Furthermore, observational data indicated that students became more active, focused, and enthusiastic during the memorization learning process. These findings suggest that the Tikrar method has the potential to serve as an effective instructional strategy for enhancing elementary school students' Quranic memorization ability through a systematic and continuous repetition process.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformation of Islamic Religious Education subjects into kitab-based learning and the implementation of a takhassus (specialization) program in an Islamic boarding school. This transformation is driven by the need to strengthen students’ religious understanding through the integration of the formal curriculum with the traditional study of classical Islamic texts (turath). This study employs an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. Qualitative data were collected through interviews with the pesantren leader, head of the madrasah, and Islamic studies teachers, followed by quantitative data gathered through questionnaires administered to 30 students. Data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis and descriptive statistics. The findings reveal that the transformation of IRE is implemented through the integration of the formal curriculum with classical Islamic texts in subjects such as Quran-Hadith, Aqidah-Akhlaq, Fiqh, and Arabic language. The takhassus program is conducted through in-depth study of classical texts using the sorogan and bandongan methods, supported by the use of modern instructional media. The program has a positive impact on improving students’ ability to read classical Arabic texts, enhancing their religious understanding, and increasing their learning motivation. This study concludes that the integration of kitab-based learning and the takhassus program strengthens the identity of Islamic boarding school education and enhances the overall quality of Islamic Religious Education in a holistic manner.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic boarding schools in developing santri leadership in society. As Islamic educational institutions, pesantren not only function to teach religious knowledge, but also to shape the character and leadership spirit of santri. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, through literature analysis and observation of leadership practices in the pesantren environment. The results of the study show that Islamic boarding schools have two main roles in building student leadership. First, Islamic boarding schools serve as role models through the figures of kyai and ustadz who demonstrate leadership based on Islamic values. Second, Islamic boarding schools act as motivators by encouraging students to be active in organizational and social activities. The implications of this research confirm that Islamic boarding schools make an important contribution to producing a generation of leaders with noble character, integrity, and the ability to act as agents of change in society.

Abstract

Independence is an essential aspect of early childhood development as it supports children's ability to regulate themselves, make simple decisions, and take responsibility for their surroundings. This study aims to analyze the role of daily routines in fostering independence among children aged 4–5 years in a kindergarten setting. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving children aged 4–5 years, classroom teachers, and the school principal. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data trustworthiness was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that consistently implemented daily routines provided opportunities for children to develop various aspects of independence, including active participation in school activities, the ability to complete tasks without assistance, responsibility for using and organizing learning materials, independence during mealtimes, and emotional self-management. Routine activities such as lining up, praying together, washing hands, eating together, and tidying up learning materials served as effective habituation practices in fostering independent behavior. The findings highlight that daily routines play an important role in supporting the development of independence in early childhood, with consistent habituation and teacher guidance serving as key factors in their effectiveness. This study suggests that integrating daily routines into learning activities can be an effective strategy for strengthening children's independence in early childhood education settings.

Abstract

Digital Revolution 4.0 has driven fundamental changes across various sectors, including Islamic education, thereby requiring policies that are adaptive to technological advancements and the demands of twenty-first-century competencies. This article aims to analyze the directions of Islamic education policy in Indonesia and identify the challenges encountered in its implementation in the digital era. The study employs a qualitative method using a content analysis approach. Data were collected from Islamic education policy documents, including the Islamic Education Roadmap 2020–2035, relevant regulations, and related academic literature. The data were analyzed through coding, categorization, and thematic interpretation to uncover policy orientations and implementation challenges. The findings reveal that Islamic education policies in Indonesia have directed transformation in five key areas: curriculum development, learning innovation, institutional governance strengthening, human resource capacity enhancement, and the reinforcement of educational regulations and funding. Nevertheless, policy implementation continues to face several challenges, including regional digital disparities, inadequate digital competencies among educators, limited technological infrastructure, curriculum misalignment with twenty-first-century competency requirements, the threat of digital radicalism, adaptation challenges faced by traditional Islamic educational institutions, and tensions between national standardization and the need for local contextualization. These findings indicate that the digital transformation of Islamic education requires an integrative, adaptive, and sustainable policy approach. This article contributes to the advancement of Islamic education policy studies by proposing an analytical framework for understanding the developmental directions and implementation challenges of Islamic education policies in response to the digital era.
