Abstract

Education that places student freedom and autonomy at the core of the learning process is becoming increasingly relevant in efforts to shape education that humanizes humanity. This article examines the relevance of Neill's educational thinking to the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. This research is a literature review using a comparative qualitative approach, aiming to analyze Alexander S. Neill's thoughts on humanistic education and compare them with the Merdeka Curriculum principles, particularly in developing student autonomy. Data was collected through documentation techniques, namely by searching and selecting literature such as books and scientific articles published in relevant national and international journals using keywords such as "A.S. Neill," "humanistic education," "Summerhill School," "Merdeka Curriculum," and "student autonomy" in various scientific databases such as Google Scholar and Scopus over the past 10 years. The core concept of Neill's educational approach is student freedom. He believed that excessive pressure and control from teachers and the curriculum fostered anti-learning attitudes, dishonesty, and emotional damage in children. At Summerhill, students are not required to attend specific classes and can choose activities based on their interests and readiness. Some principles of the Merdeka Curriculum that support student freedom include emphasizing differentiated learning, the principle of freedom realized through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5), and student-centered learning. Both place students as active subjects in the educational process, emphasize freedom's importance and encourage teachers to act as facilitators in a supportive learning environment. This relevance can be understood through the framework of humanistic education theory, particularly Abraham Maslow's view on self-actualization, Carl Rogers' perspective on student-centered learning, and the Self-Determination Theory of Motivation, which emphasizes the importance of autonomy, competence, and relationships in fostering intrinsic motivation.

Abstract

This study investigates the global scholarly evolution of AI-integrated pedagogical practices in primary education and proposes strategic pathways for adapting these trends to enhance learning innovation in the Indonesian context. The urgency to align basic education with 21st-century competencies and the accelerating growth of artificial intelligence has created a significant research gap, particularly in translating global pedagogical models into localized applications. Through a bibliometric analysis of 126 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2014 and 2024 and indexed in Scopus, this study employs the Bibliometrix R-package within RStudio to examine publication growth, source distribution, author collaboration, keyword co-occurrence, thematic mapping, and conceptual structures. Results indicate a sharp increase in research interest beginning in 2021, highlighting emerging themes such as computational thinking, adaptive learning, personalized education, generative AI, and affective computing. These patterns reveal a global pedagogical shift toward data-driven, student-centered, and emotionally intelligent instructional models. When viewed in relation to Indonesia’s Curriculum Merdeka and Society 5.0 ambitions, the findings suggest high potential for contextual integration particularly through CPD programs that enable teachers to apply AI tools like chatbots, self-regulated learning dashboards, and real-time feedback systems in culturally relevant ways. The study concludes that successful adaptation depends on multi-level collaboration, policy support, and iterative design rooted in both global evidence and local realities. By bridging bibliometric insights with educational policy transformation, this research offers a timely and scalable contribution to the discourse on AI in education. It highlights how developing countries can leverage global innovation trajectories to achieve inclusive, future-ready classroom ecosystems.

Abstract

Problems often faced by educational institutions recently are often found among students. Several cases that occurred at educational institutions in Bima were specifically related to acts of violence against children/students, either occurring among students or carried out by teaching staff. Cases of beatings experienced by educators are one of the most frequent cases in educational institutions at junior high to high school levels. This situation is a scourge in the teaching and learning process in educational institutions. So special attention is needed in handling this situation by providing character education from an early age so that students with character and morals can be formed. This research aims to determine the process of implementing moral education and transcendental idealism for students at MIN 5 Bima and SD IT Uswatun Hasanah. The method used is qualitative with a multicase study approach. Primary data sources in this research were obtained from two educational institutions, MIN 5 Bima and SD IT Uswatun Hasanah. The results of the research show that there are differences in the implementation of instilling moral values in elementary schools, especially at MIN 5 and SD IT Uswatun Hasanah. These differences show that MIN 5 implements three main activities in instilling moral values in students, namely the Thousand Days Movement. /Infaq for Charity, Tahfid (Memorization of Juz 30), and Health (Environmental Cleanliness) while the results of the activities of instilling moral values at SD IT show that through the program to save adab and ethical values as the formation of student character and morality with a values-based approach Islamic values. These efforts involve all elements in creating a learning environment that supports the positive character and spiritual development of students in the future.

Abstract

The community's wealth of good values is presented in every continuity of inter-religious life, both in educational institutions and in everyday community activities. It's just that until now, various phenomena have become increasingly widespread and this has seriously tarnished religion, especially Islam, which is known as a religion that is rahmatan lil alamin. This phenomenon can be observed by the increasing number of corruption cases in Indonesia involving government officials, cases of beatings of educators and students, sexual abuse of minors, groups of fighters acting in the name of religion, and so on. Of course, this phenomenon is enough material for reflection regarding the increasing erosion of human values in humans. Educational institutions should be able to become a locomotive to minimize problems that harm the good values taught. Therefore, this study aims to understand more deeply how the lesson texts contain religious humanist values, especially the texts of aqidah morals lessons in madrasah ibitidaiyah which contain democratic values, brotherhood values, tolerance values, and justice values. The research method used is library research using a philosophical approach. Meanwhile, the main object that will be studied in this research is the textbook on akidah akhlaq in madrasah ibitidaiyah in the 2013 curriculum by using content analysis in order to be able to find out in detail the extent to which religious humanist values are contained in the subject matter of aqeedah akhlak. The results of the research that the author found in the moral aqidah lesson text which contains features, rubrics and material descriptions are 41 features with the results of the study of 17 features containing 28 religious humanist values. In the textbook on moral beliefs, there are 225 rubrics with a total of 35 containing religious values. Finally, the material description contains 15 religious humanist values.

Abstract

The pedagogical imperative to enhance Tajweed proficiency, a fundamental Islamic educational tenet, necessitates innovative teaching methodologies, especially for learners at the concrete operational stage. This study introduces "Ludo Listas Tajwid" (Lolita), a pioneering game-based educational media designed to ameliorate the learning trajectory of Tajweed. The research developed and evaluated Lolita to ascertain its efficacy and applicability in the pedagogical domain of Quranic recitation. Utilizing the Research and Development (R&D) approach, underpinned by the Hannafin and Peck model, the study meticulously orchestrated the media development phases, incorporating design, development, and evaluation stages. The methodology entailed a comprehensive descriptive data analysis to delineate the media development steps and substantiate its educational value. This iterative process facilitated the refinement and validation of Lolita, ensuring its alignment with educational standards and learning objectives. The findings revealed that Lolita substantially ameliorated the Tajweed learning experience, evidenced by high validation scores: 88% for media, 90.7% for content, and 80% for language proficiency. These metrics underscore the media's pedagogical soundness and its consonance with Tajweed learning objectives. The implications of this research are multifaceted, extending beyond the immediate educational setting. Lolita's success illustrates the potential of game-based learning platforms in engaging students more effectively in religious education, thereby enhancing their learning outcomes. However, the study acknowledges its limitations, including the specific focus on learners in the concrete operational stage and the need for broader empirical validation across varied educational contexts.. The study recommends further research to explore Lolita's scalability and its impact on long-term learning outcomes, aiming to establish a robust evidence base for game-based learning in religious education.

Abstract

This study investigates the interplay between sociology and education, focusing on Islamic education from a sociological perspective. The objective is to elucidate the sociological dimensions of Islamic education, employing library research for data collection and analysis. This approach facilitated an objective examination of the existing literature, uncovering the multifaceted perspectives within the sociology of education, akin to the diversity in sociological studies. The research underscores the importance of a sociological approach in understanding religious teachings and their social implications, particularly in the realm of Islamic education. It reveals that social issues significantly influence religious teachings, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of social sciences within religious communities. The findings indicate that the sociology of education in the context of Islam incorporates individual, social, and interactional approaches. The individual approach examines personal religious experiences and their educational impact, the social approach considers the influence of societal norms on educational practices, and the interaction approach investigates the interplay between individual beliefs and social contexts in educational settings. This tripartite framework enriches the understanding of Islamic education, highlighting the role of sociological insights in analyzing and interpreting educational phenomena within religious contexts. The study advocates for the integration of sociological theories in educational research, especially for religious education, to unravel the complex interactions between society and education. It proposes that a sociological perspective is essential for a nuanced understanding of Islamic educational practices and theories, urging further research in this interdisciplinary field. The conclusion emphasizes the need for continued exploration of the sociological aspects of education, particularly in Islamic contexts, to foster a more comprehensive and holistic approach to educational studies.
