Abstract

This study explores how Islamic educational values are instilled through religious social activities in Banaran Hamlet, Muneng Village, Kediri Regency, focusing on the strategies employed, the values taught, and the forms of activities used. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and document analysis involving 15 key informants, the study found that activities such as tahlilan, yasinan, ndiba’, and mosque-based recitations effectively promote values of worship, morality, solidarity, and piety. Strategies such as socialization, habituation, and role modeling by religious leaders and community elders were identified as key in transmitting these values. Additionally, the integration of local cultural practices with Islamic teachings enhanced the accessibility and relevance of the values taught. This research highlights the potential of community-based religious social activities as informal educational tools in rural areas, contributing to the broader understanding of how such practices can foster moral and spiritual development, especially in communities with limited access to formal education

Abstract

This study investigates the role of teachers in enhancing Quranic reading skills among sixth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nurussalam, focusing on their roles as motivators and evaluators. Using a qualitative field approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research aims to understand how teachers contribute to improving students' Quranic reading skills, while examining their influence as motivators and evaluators. The findings indicate that teachers play a vital role in guiding students towards achieving the set goals for Quranic reading. As motivators, teachers encourage students by offering rewards or points for each achievement, creating a positive learning atmosphere that promotes continuous improvement. These incentives enhance students' enthusiasm and engagement in learning. In addition to motivating students, teachers also serve as evaluators. They assess students’ Quranic reading abilities through regular evaluations, which help determine the effectiveness of teaching methods and students’ progress. This evaluative role is essential in identifying areas where students need further assistance and adjusting teaching strategies accordingly. Evaluations also provide teachers with insights into the students' learning outcomes, enabling them to refine their approach. Furthermore, the evaluation process allows teachers to prepare comprehensive reports on students' progress, which are shared with parents and school administrators. These reports play an important role in ensuring students receive the necessary support. Overall, the study highlights the critical role of teachers as both motivators and evaluators in improving Quranic reading skills and fostering effective learning at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nurussalam

Abstract

The Society 5.0 era demands a paradigm shift in education—including Islamic education—that can address disruptive challenges without eroding its identity. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework for quality management in Islamic education by integrating the principles of Education 5.0. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, it critically analyzes the points of convergence between the foundational values of Islamic education and the Education 5.0 framework. The study proposes the P–I–M–T (Philosophical–Infrastructural–Managerial–Technopedagogical) model as an integrative solution. The model emphasizes the integration of Islamic values (ihsan, itqan, muhasabah, mas’uliyyah) as the philosophical foundation (Philosophical); the strengthening of the digital ecosystem as enabling infrastructure (Infrastructural); the implementation of quality assurance systems and transformational leadership as managerial pillars (Managerial); and the development of an integrative curriculum and adaptive pedagogy grounded in an Islamic TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) perspective as the technopedagogical component (Technopedagogical). The findings affirm that this model addresses not only operational and technical challenges, but also serves as a cultural strategy to preserve Islamic identity while responding proactively to the demands of the digital era. Accordingly, the study contributes to strengthening the positioning and competitiveness of Islamic education within an increasingly dynamic global educational landscape.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the color-mixing experiment method in developing the cognitive abilities of Group B children at RA As-Sholeh Baron. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the implementation of the experimental method, using natural materials like dragon fruit and pineapple, was carried out through the stages of preparation, demonstration, direct practice, and discussion. This approach proved effective in developing children's cognitive abilities, particularly in recognizing primary and secondary colors, understanding cause-and-effect relationships, and communicating their findings. Key supporting factors included teacher competence and the availability of facilities, while time management and the need for meticulous preparation were identified as inhibiting factors. This study concludes that the color-mixing experiment method is an effective, contextual, and enjoyable alternative for developing early childhood cognitive abilities, in line with constructivist and cognitive development theories.

Abstract

The objectives of this study are 1) to determine the implementation of the demonstration method in PAI for Grade VII students on the topic of wudhu at SMPN 1 Tanjunganom, 2) the learning outcomes of students in PAI for Grade VII on the topic of wudhu at SMPN 1 Tanjunganom, and 3) the influence of the demonstration method on student learning outcomes in PAI for Grade VII on the topic of wudhu at SMPN 1 Tanjunganom. This study used a quantitative method. The research findings concluded that the questionnaire, used to collect data for the demonstration method variable, was declared reliable because its Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.863 ≥ 0.70. Similarly, the test, used to collect data for the student learning outcomes variable, was declared reliable because its Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.749 ≥ 0.70. Regression analysis results indicated that the demonstration method has a positive relationship with student learning outcomes. Furthermore, based on the T-test analysis, the calculated T-value for variable X was 3.581 > T-table 2.048, and the significance value was 0.001 < 0.05. Therefore, the analysis proves that X influences Y because the significance value of 0.001 < 0.05 means that Ha is accepted, indicating a positive and significant influence of the demonstration method variable on student learning outcomes.
