Abstract

The increasing trend of learning that is not sufficiently oriented toward humanistic values often reflects the dominance of teacher-centered and cognitively oriented educational practices, which frequently neglect the emotional, moral, and spiritual development of students. This study aims to analyze the philosophical convergence between Carl Rogers’ humanistic education theory and Indonesia’s Love-Based Curriculum (Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta) and to formulate its implications for reconstructing a more humane Arabic language pedagogy in contemporary Islamic education. This research employed a qualitative library research design using two primary sources: Freedom to Learn by Carl Rogers and H. Jerome Freiberg and the Love-Based Curriculum Guidelines published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. Data were analyzed through Philipp Mayring’s qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal six areas of philosophical convergence: humanization, countering dehumanization, freedom to learn, compassionate pedagogy, supportive learning environments, and holistic human development. The study proposes a Transcendental-Humanistic Arabic Language Pedagogy integrating learner-centered learning, compassionate relationships, meaningful experiences, and spiritual-humanistic development. This framework offers an alternative approach for humanizing Arabic language education in contemporary Islamic educational contexts

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Sam'iyah Syafahiyah method in enhancing the active learning of the Arabic language. The Sam'iyah Syafahiyah method emphasizes listening (sam'iyah) and speaking (syafahiyah) skills as the main pillars of language learning; this method facilitates natural language acquisition through interaction and direct practice. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentary analysis. The subjects of the research are Arabic language students and teachers at MI Al-Hidayah Betak 02. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Sam'iyah Syafahiyah method involves several stages, including the introduction of vocabulary through audiovisuals, paired and group conversation practice, and simulations of everyday communicative situations. This method has been proven to significantly increase student learning engagement, as evidenced by the increased participation in class discussions, confidence in pronouncing Arabic vocabulary, and enthusiasm in attending every learning session. Students feel more confident and motivated to use the Arabic language in various contexts. The challenges encountered include time constraints and audio facilities, but these can be overcome with the teachers' creativity in utilizing available resources. This research recommends the consistent use of the Sam'iyah Syafahiyah method in Arabic language learning to create a conducive and enjoyable learning environment

Abstract

Discipline is an important aspect in the character development of students, particularly in educational institutions that integrate formal schooling with a pesantren system. The cultivation of discipline is not only carried out through rules and supervision but also through guidance programs that foster students’ awareness, responsibility, and independence. This study aims to analyze the implementation of pesantren development management, the role of Guidance and Counseling (BK) services, the forms of integration between the two, and their contribution to fostering student discipline at SMA Islam Sunan Gunung Jati Ngunut, Tulungagung. This research employed a qualitative method with a field study approach through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, BK teachers, pesantren caregivers, and students. The findings indicate that pesantren development is implemented through daily activity habituation, supervision, rule enforcement, and the cultivation of spiritual values. BK services support this process through individual counseling, group guidance, and assistance for students experiencing difficulties in maintaining discipline. The integration of pesantren development management and BK services is conducted through coordination between BK teachers and pesantren caregivers in monitoring behavior, addressing rule violations, and providing guidance according to students’ needs. The study concludes that the synergy between pesantren development and BK services can support a more comprehensive development of student discipline through the formation of positive habits and the internalization of Islamic values.

Abstract

The penetration of digital technology into the Islamic boarding school (pesantren) environment has triggered value disruption and a crisis of meaninglessness among Generation Z. This study aims to reconstruct Al-Farabi's Ethics of Happiness (Eudaimonism) as an ethico-philosophical framework to unpack existential crises and value orientation degradation caused by performative digital culture among santri (Islamic students). Utilizing a qualitative approach with library research methodology, this study examines Al-Farabi’s primary texts, such as Mabadi’ Ara’ Ahl al-Madinah al-Fadhilah and Kitab al-Tanbih ‘ala Sabil al-Sa’adah, and hermeneutically integrates them with contemporary digital sociology literature. The results demonstrate that the crisis of meaning among Generation Z in pesantren stems from "epistemic-moral alienation," where virtual social validation (likes, followers) shifts substantial happiness orientation (eudaimonia) toward instant gratification (hedonia). The reconstructed formulation of Al-Farabi’s ethics provides a solution through three transformative pillars: purification of rational intellect (al-aql) to filter digital disinformation, ordering the soul’s hierarchy (tadzhib al-nafs) against impulsive urges, and actualizing public virtue (al-fadhilah al-madaniyyah) in cyberspace. The implications of this research demand a paradigm shift in pesantren governance from a proscriptive-repressive approach toward the implementation of "Prophylactic Digital Literacy" rooted in classical Islamic ethics. This study concludes that Al-Farabi’s ethics successfully bridges classical religious tradition with modern technology, empowering santri as ethical subjects sovereign over digital technology

Abstract

The era of digital transformation, Islamic educational institutions particularly pesantren (is a Islamic boarding schools) face challenges regarding reputation articulation and institutional differentiation amidst an overwhelming flow of information. This study aims to analyze the implementation of a Digital Public Relations (DPR) strategy grounded in Islamic core values to enhance brand awareness for the Al Hidayah Samir Ngunut Islamic boarding school in Tulungagung. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study documents how the integration of Islamic communication ethics specifically as qaulan sadīdan (honesty), qaulan ma'rūfan (kindness/propriety), and qaulan balīghan (effectiveness) transforms crisis communication, digital content management, and stakeholder interactions. Informants were selected using purposive sampling and consisted of public relations managers, the head of the public relations division, and division members. Data were collected through structured interviews and documentation, analyzed using the interactive model developed by Miles et al., and validated through source and method triangulation. Research findings indicate that the effectiveness of Digital PR at Pesantren Al Hidayah Samir (Ngunut, Tulungagung) achieved through the use of information technology is measured not merely by digital engagement metrics (such as engagement rates and traffic), but by the integration of spiritual authenticity (muru'ah) and technological capability. This strategic approach has proven effective in strengthening the pesantren's top-of-mind brand awareness as a modern educational institution grounded in spiritual character

Abstract

This article examines the Living Qur’an in the tradition of tahfiz (Qur’an memorization) learning in pesantren, focusing on how santri receive Qur’anic verses through three interrelated practices: recitation (tilāwah), memorization and review (ḥifẓ and murāja‘ah), and reflection on meaning (tadabbur). Tahfiz is often treated as a technical matter of memorization targets, although it is also a lived encounter between santri and the Qur’an, with its own modes of reception, values, and risks. Using a qualitative library-research design and a descriptive-analytical reading, the study draws on literature in Living Qur’an and reception studies, pesantren and Islamic education, and social and educational theory, and it grounds the analysis in Qur’anic verses on tarbiyah (education), among them QS. al-‘Alaq: 1–5, al-Jumu‘ah: 2, Āli ‘Imrān: 79, al-Isrā’: 106, and al-Furqān: 32. The findings show that (1) the verses on education frame tahfiz as a graded process of tilāwah, tazkiyah, and ta‘līm, not merely as memorization; (2) recitation carries a dominantly aesthetic mode of reception, memorization an aesthetic and functional mode, and reflection on meaning an exegetical mode; (3) without accompaniment by meaning, each practice risks becoming a routine detached from understanding and conduct; and (4) pesantren need a simple design that links recitation, memorization, meaning, and exemplary conduct. The study is conceptual and its propositions require testing through fieldwork in pesantren

Abstract

The introduction of religious values from an early age is important in shaping children’s religious understanding and attitudes. The practice of Hajj rituals simulation is a contextual learning activity through simulations, movements, and visual media that helps children understand the procedures of Hajj in a simple way. This study aims to describe parents’ perceptions of Hajj ritual practices at PAUD Al-Husaini Punggur Besar, including their understanding, perceived benefits, children’s responses, family involvement, challenges, and expectations for activity development. This research employed a qualitative approach using observation, documentation, and interviews with three parents of participating students. The data were analyzed descriptively to describe parents’ experiences and perspectives. The results showed that parents perceived Hajj ritual practices as a positive and enjoyable learning experience that helped children understand the Hajj pilgrimage concretely through the introduction of the Kaaba, ihram clothing, and simple stages of Hajj rituals. This activity also supported the development of values such as patience, discipline, and enthusiasm for religious learning. Parents’ involvement was demonstrated through preparing children’s equipment and reinforcing their understanding at home. The challenges identified included weather conditions, crowded locations, and children’s limited concentration. This study highlights the importance of developing interactive and child-friendly Hajj simulation activities that strengthen collaboration between schools and families

Abstract

School and madrasah principals are responsible not only for administrative performance but also for instructional quality and the ethical exercise of authority. This article develops a conceptual framework for Qur’an-based educational leadership by connecting trustworthiness, justice, consultation, exemplary conduct, and self-evaluation with contemporary educational leadership theories. An integrative library study was conducted using selected books, journal articles, and government documents published from 2016 to 2026. Qur’anic passages were examined through the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs’ concise commentary, while educational literature and regulations were used to formulate managerial implications. The analysis distinguishes textual meaning, normative interpretation, and proposed institutional practices. The resulting framework positions trustworthiness as accountable resource management, justice as fair procedures and needs-sensitive support, consultation as meaningful participation, exemplary conduct as consistency between standards and behaviour, and self-evaluation as evidence-informed improvement. These dimensions complement transformational and instructional leadership through ethical safeguards, professional development, and a sustained focus on learning. The article proposes observable indicators and a planning, implementation, and review cycle for schools and madrasahs. Since the framework is conceptual, its effectiveness has not been empirically established. Further research should validate the indicators and examine their implementation across different institutional settings

Abstract

Digital communication helps schools reach their communities quickly, but also exposes them to false and misleading information. This article examines the transformation of school public relations into a coordinator of verification, crisis communication, and digital-literacy education. An integrative literature review connects selected books, journal articles, and government documents published within the past ten years. The synthesis proposes five strategies: strengthening critical information literacy, establishing reporting and verification procedures, providing proportionate clarifications, managing accessible and secure official channels, and involving teachers, parents, and students in preventive education. A response cycle comprising preparation, detection, verification, clarification, and evaluation is proposed as an institutional framework. It prioritises factual accuracy, acknowledgement of uncertainty, protection of children’s data, and openness to legitimate criticism. Without field data, this article cannot establish the framework’s effectiveness in reducing misinformation or improving public trust. Further research should examine its implementation, resource requirements, and outcomes across different school contexts

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) teachers in improving the teamwork skills of students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) through modified volleyball games. The research focuses on the teacher’s role in planning, implementing, and evaluating learning activities, as well as identifying supporting and inhibiting factors in PJOK learning for students with ADHD. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subject was one eighth-grade student with ADHD at SMP Negeri 5 Sangatta Utara, with research informants consisting of the PJOK teacher, homeroom teacher, and principal. Data were collected through participatory observation and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation. The results showed that PJOK teachers play an important role as learning designers, facilitators, and evaluators by modifying equipment, rules, methods, and assessment strategies according to the needs of students with ADHD. The implementation of demonstrations, games, and cooperative learning strategies improved students’ communication, group involvement, role-sharing abilities, and adherence to game rules. Supporting factors included school support, facilities, teachers, families, and peers, while inhibiting factors involved limited learning time, a large number of students, and difficulties in maintaining students’ attention. In conclusion, the success of inclusive PJOK learning is strongly influenced by teachers’ ability to create adaptive learning processes and responsive learning environments
