Abstract

This study examines the concept, implementation strategies, teacher roles, impacts, and challenges of Quran-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping students’ religious character in the digital era. Employing a qualitative descriptive field study design, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with PAI teachers and school administrators, and document analysis. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that thematic and contextual Quran-based PAI learning enhances students’ spiritual awareness, moral values, religious discipline, and moderate religious attitudes. The integration of Quranic values influences not only cognitive understanding but also the internalization of moral and spiritual values reflected in students’ daily behavior, including their use of digital media. This study offers novelty by identifying adaptive strategies that position Quran-based PAI learning as an ethical filter for addressing moral challenges in the digital age. The findings contribute to Islamic education theory and highlight the importance of pedagogical reform through teacher role modeling, value habituation, and reflective learning practices.

Abstract

The average literacy and numeracy scores of Indonesian students are still below the minimum standard, with PISA 2018 achievement in the level 1 category and only 30% of students achieving basic competencies in the National Assessment. This study aims to analyze the effect of the PjBL model on improving the literacy and numeracy skills of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Banyuasin III. PjBL was chosen because it is considered relevant to the cognitive development stage of students aged 10–11 years and supports the integration of real contexts in learning. This study used a quantitative method with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 56 fifth-grade students divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments used included empirically validated literacy and numeracy questions and an analytical rubric based on cognitive and contextual indicators. Data analysis was performed using MANOVA. The results showed that the PjBL model had a significant effect on improving literacy and numeracy simultaneously (Pillai’s Trace = 0.319; p = 0.000). Partially, literacy gains were higher (F = 18.195; R² = 0.252) than numeracy gains (F = 10.075; R² = 0.165), with an average N-Gain of 0.49 for literacy and 0.40 for numeracy. This effectiveness reflects the successful integration of literacy and numeracy through simple project activities. This finding implies the need to implement PjBL as a curricular strategy to support the strengthening of literacy and numeracy in the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess how the Prodigy Math Game improves elementary school kids’ reading, numeracy, and critical thinking skills. The study employed a quasi-experimental approach with a pretest-posttest control group. The research sample consisted of Class 6A, comprising 24 students, who served as the experimental group and used the Prodigy Math Game in the learning process. Class 6B, also consisting of 24 students, functioned as the control group and received instruction through conventional teaching methods. The research tools included literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking assessments, as well as observation sheets and interviews to assess student participation. The study found that pupils in the experimental group improved significantly in literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking compared to the control group. The experimental group’s average posttest score was considerably higher, according to a t-test. Students’ ability to grasp text-based questions in the game indicated better reading, and their ability to answer math problems of various difficulty exhibited improved numeracy. Critical thinking skills are developed by using proper problem-solving tactics in games. These findings lend credence to a constructivist approach to learning, which stresses hands-on experience and personalized challenges. This study found that the Prodigy Math Game is an excellent, innovative way to improve primary school children’ literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the urgency of multicultural Islamic education in building national tolerance and character. Using a literature-based research method, this study analyzes various documents, books, and previous research results to provide a theoretical foundation for the issues being researched: First, the urgency of multicultural Islamic education in promoting tolerance and instilling a moderate religious understanding (wasathiyyah) lies in its function as a tool for social and spiritual change. Through a multicultural approach, students are encouraged to understand Islamic teachings contextually, appreciate diversity, and reject all forms of extremism. This moderate religious understanding lays a strong foundation for a harmonious, just, and cultured society. Second, Islamic education with a multicultural approach plays a crucial role in strengthening the character of the diverse Indonesian nation. By respecting differences, this education instills global values of harmony, justice, and humanity. It not only strengthens students’ Islamic identity but also shapes a national character grounded in solidarity and unity. Therefore, multicultural Islamic education serves as the main foundation for realizing an Indonesian society that is religious, moderate, and possesses a strong national character.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of multicultural education in shaping students’ character at the Pancasila Islamic Boarding School in Bengkulu City. The research focuses on three primary aspects: the forms of multicultural education, the strategies employed by kyai and ustadz in instilling multicultural values, and the subsequent impact on students’ character. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, et. al., (2020) with triangulation techniques ensuring data validity. The findings reveal that multicultural education is implemented comprehensively by integrating the Islamic values of rahmatan lil ‘alamin with spirit of nationalism into the curriculum, social activities, and institutional culture. Key strategies include exemplary leadership (uswah hasanah), communal living, intercultural dialogue, and strengthening of national values. The result indicates a significant enhancement in students’ religiosity, tolerance, and national awareness. This study’s novelty lies in its contextual analysis of boarding school that harmonizes Islamic principles with Pancasila as the foundation of multicultural education. Practically, it demonstrates that Islamic boarding schools can serve as inclusive educational models for fostering a moderate and patriotic Muslim generation.

Abstract

Indonesia has made substantial efforts to improve the quality of education by strengthening leadership, developing teacher competencies, and creating supportive school environments. However, gaps in school performance persist, particularly in vocational schools located in developing areas. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of education quality by examining the influence of principal leadership, teacher competency, and school well-being in vocational high schools in Merlung Regency, Jambi Province. By using a quantitative design, the data were collected from 40 teachers through a validated questionnaire that measured the role of the principal, teacher competency, school well-being, and education quality based on national education standards. The data was analyzed using SPSS 25 to find descriptive statistics, classical assumption testing, multiple regression, and analysis of determination. The results indicated that all three variables: principal leadership, teacher competency, and school well-being jointly have a significant simultaneous effect on education quality (F = 3.037, Sig. = 0.041). However, a partial t-test indicated no significant individual effect of each variable on education quality. The coefficient of determination indicated that 20.2% of the variance in educational quality is explained by the combined predictors. This finding suggested that while leadership, teacher competency, and school well-being collectively contribute to school quality, none of the three independently demonstrated strong predictive power, likely due to limited optimization of leadership practices, inadequate teacher development, and inconsistencies in school well-being. This study highlighted the need for more responsive leadership, continuous professional development, and a stronger emphasis on creating a supportive school climate to improve the overall quality of vocational education.

Abstract

Effective management of curriculum data and school administration is essential for improving teacher performance in public senior high schools. However, many schools still face challenges related to fragmented data systems, high administrative workloads, and limited integration between management information systems and teacher performance indicators. This study aims to develop and evaluate a SIMA-based curriculum data and administration management model to improve teacher performance effectiveness in public senior high schools in North Musi Rawas Regency. This research employed a research and development (R&D) approach, involving needs analysis, model design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation involving teachers and school administrators. Teacher performance effectiveness was measured before and after the implementation of the SIMA-based management model. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to examine changes in teacher performance effectiveness. The results indicate that the developed SIMA-based curriculum data and administration management model is valid, practical, and effective. The implementation of the model significantly improved teacher performance effectiveness, particularly in administrative efficiency, time management, accuracy of academic data, and focus on instructional tasks. These findings suggest that integrating curriculum and administrative management through a SIMA-based system can reduce teachers’ administrative burden and enhance their professional performance. This study contributes theoretically to educational management research and practically provides a reference model for schools and policymakers seeking to improve teacher performance through integrated management information systems.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of school principal leadership and school culture on teacher performance in public junior high schools in Pangkalan Lampam District, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design, involving 83 teachers selected through proportional random sampling from a population of 104 teachers. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires measuring school principal leadership, school culture, and teacher performance, and were analyzed through prerequisite tests (normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity) followed by multiple linear regression analysis using t-tests and F-tests at a 5% significance level. The results indicate that school principal leadership has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, school culture also has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, and both variables simultaneously exert a significant influence on teacher performance. These findings highlight that effective leadership practices and a strong, positive school culture are key organizational factors in enhancing teacher performance. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated analysis of principal leadership and school culture as joint predictors of teacher performance within the specific context of public junior high schools in Pangkalan Lampam District, providing localized empirical evidence that supports and extends existing theories of educational leadership and organizational culture. From a practical perspective, the findings imply that efforts to improve teacher performance should prioritize strengthening principals’ leadership capacities through continuous professional development and fostering positive school cultures characterized by collaboration, professionalism, and shared responsibility. In terms of contribution, this study enriches the literature on educational management by offering empirical insights into the systemic relationship between leadership, school culture, and teacher performance, and it provides a valuable reference for policymakers, school leaders, and future researchers in designing effective school improvement and leadership development strategies aimed at improving the quality of education.
