Abstract

This study discusses the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model to improve critical thinking in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMP Negeri 1 Bantarsari. The focus of this research is on the planning and implementation of the PBL model to improve students' critical thinking skills. The purpose of this study is to find out and describe in depth how the implementation of the Problem Based Learning model can contribute to improving students' critical thinking skills in the context of PAI learning. This type of research is a field research with a qualitative approach and is presented descriptively. The data collection techniques used include observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis is carried out through three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. This research was conducted directly in the school environment so as to produce actual and contextual empirical data. The results of the study show that teachers have designed learning well through the preparation of teaching modules as guidelines. The implementation of learning is carried out in three main stages, namely planning, implementation, and evaluation. At the implementation stage, the PBL model is applied through five steps: (1) orientation to the problem, (2) organizing students to learn, (3) individual and group investigations, (4) presentation of discussion results, and (5) reflection on learning outcomes. Evaluation is carried out on an ongoing basis both during the learning process and at the end of the activity. The application of this Problem Based Learning model has proven to be effective in increasing students' critical thinking. Students show improved ability to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems relevant to PAI material. In addition, students also become more active, independent, and used to expressing opinions in group discussions. Interaction between students increases positively, creating a collaborative and participatory learning environment. This indicates that the use of the PBL model can be the right strategy in developing students' critical thinking skills at the junior secondary education level.

Abstract

MSMEs play a strategic role in supporting the growth and stability of the national economy (Endra et al., 2024), especially in the culinary sector which continues to grow. However, a fundamental problem commonly experienced by MSMEs is the ability to create visually attractive and professional promotional elements. One example is BentoDay, a food business in West Jakarta, which still relies on simple visual promotions through social media without optimal content packaging. This activity aims to develop the digital promotional capacity of participants through program mentoring and training that focuses on creating logos and product catalogs using the Canva application, a digital tool used for easy-to-use visual design purposes that allows even beginners to create posters, banners and social media content (Akbar et al., n.d.). Initial observations, direct training, intensive mentoring, and evaluation of participants' design results are part of the mentoring activity approach. The results of the activity implementation illustrate that participants have the ability to independently produce promotional materials, such as business logos and product catalogs with more attractive and consistent designs. This training not only improves participants' design skills but also has a positive impact on the digital marketing strategy of culinary businesses. MSMEs can improve their competitiveness and increase sales by implementing better design. This approach demonstrates the importance of acquiring digital skills for MSMEs to strengthen their brand identity and expand their consumer reach (Andari, N., Sari, D.P., & Hidayat, 2025). Therefore, using Canva has proven useful for enhancing the competitiveness of MSME digital promotions.

Abstract

Arabic language proficiency, a key element in Islamic religious education, requires adequate learning resources. One innovation that contributes to the learning process is the use of a digital Arabic-Indonesian dictionary. This study aims to identify the extent to which students utilize digital dictionaries and their impact on Arabic language learning. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach through data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. Participants included students enrolled in the Arabic Language Education study program from the 2010 intake, lecturers teaching Arabic, and data on the use of digital dictionary applications. The study findings indicate that most students prefer using digital dictionaries due to their ease of access and comprehensive features, such as instant word search and examples of word usage in context. Students perceive digital dictionaries as more practical and efficient, especially for quickly searching for word meanings, which is very helpful in the intensive Arabic language learning process. However, several obstacles also arise, including low digital literacy among some students and limited internet access in some locations. On the other hand, lecturers at the Al-Zaytun Islamic Institute in Indonesia continue to encourage the use of printed dictionaries to train students' accuracy in searching for meanings, especially so that they do not rely solely on technology. Overall, the use of digital dictionaries has been proven to positively contribute to improving Arabic comprehension and sentence structure, making them an effective and relevant alternative learning resource in the digital age. The use of digital Arabic-Indonesian dictionaries also makes it easier for students to learn technical terms frequently used in academic and religious texts.

Abstract

Moral education is the main pillar in shaping the character of children who have integrity, empathy, and have high moral awareness, especially in terms of filial devotion to parents. In the midst of the advancement of the times and the rapid development of technology, children face great challenges in maintaining noble moral values. The unstoppable flow of digital information often presents content that is contrary to family and religious values. Therefore, moral education is present as a systematic effort to instill good values in a sustainable and contextual manner with the development of the times. This study uses a library research approach to explore the role of moral education in shaping the character of children who are devoted to their parents. Data sources are collected from scientific journals, textbooks, and current academic articles relevant to the theme. The results of the study show that the formation of filial character is greatly influenced by the example of parents and teachers, habituation of positive behaviors such as good manners, worship together, and affectionate communication. In addition, the integration of moral values in the school environment, explicit curriculum policy support for character education, and the wise use of digital media are important factors in supporting the success of moral education. Furthermore, strengthening the school culture and the active involvement of the community in internalizing moral values also strengthen the moral education process. This study concludes that moral education cannot run in isolation, but must be the result of synergy between family, school, and community. Thus, children not only grow up as intellectually intelligent individuals, but also have emotional and spiritual intelligence that reflects an attitude of respect and love for parents. Strong moral education from an early age is a long-term investment for the formation of a generation with noble character.

Abstract

This study is a qualitative research employing a case study approach to explore the leadership management of a madrasah principal in improving teacher performance. The data analysis technique used consists of four main steps: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. To ensure the validity and reliability of the findings, source triangulation was applied. The research findings reveal that the madrasah principal plays a multifunctional role encompassing that of a manager, supervisor, and motivator, all of which are central to the effective management of the institution. The principal’s leadership is characterized by a strong orientation toward the achievement of the institutional vision, optimal resource management, and the establishment of a conducive and productive learning environment. Several strategic efforts have been implemented to enhance teacher performance, including the enforcement of work discipline, organizing continuous professional development through teacher training, offering rewards and incentives for achievements, cultivating positive attitudes and mental resilience among staff, and providing financial support to facilitate teaching activities. These strategies reflect a proactive and visionary leadership model that emphasizes communication, motivation, and collaboration. The effectiveness of this leadership approach is evidenced by the significant improvement in teacher performance, contributing to the overall enhancement of educational quality within the madrasah. This study concludes that leadership which is visionary, communicative, and supportive is essential in fostering an environment that promotes teacher development and institutional progress. The results of this research provide valuable insights for education stakeholders, particularly in Islamic educational institutions, on how strategic leadership practices can drive meaningful change and improve educational outcomes. This study also highlights the importance of ongoing support, recognition, and empowerment of teachers as key elements in building a high-performing and motivated teaching workforce.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low critical thinking skills of fifth-grade students at SDN Nurul Ittihad, Jambi City. Critical thinking skills are very important for students to face challenges in the modern era, so appropriate learning strategies are needed to develop them. This research aims to improve students' critical thinking skills through the application of a guided inquiry learning model in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with reference to the Kemmis and McTaggart model which includes four stages, namely planning, implementation and observation, reflection, and re-planning. This research was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of three meetings. Data were collected using documentation, tests, interviews, and observations to measure the increase in student engagement, teacher activity, and learning outcomes that reflect critical thinking skills. The results showed a significant increase in several indicators. Student engagement increased from 87% in cycle I to 92% in cycle II. Teacher activity also increased from 71% in cycle I to 83% in cycle II. Meanwhile, the percentage of students achieving learning mastery increased sharply, from 21% before the intervention to 68% in Cycle I, and 89% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that the implementation of the guided inquiry model can actively and purposefully improve students' critical thinking skills. This model effectively encourages students to become more involved in the learning process, ask questions, explore information, and develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Abstract

This article aims to examine in depth the implementation of moral values in Islamic educational institutions as a strategic step in shaping students who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also excel morally and spiritually. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library study type, through analysis of Islamic literature, articles on moral education, and relevant research results that discuss moral values. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of moral values in Islamic education includes three main aspects. First, morals towards Allah, including instilling piety, sincerity, and obedience through worship, spiritual habits, and strengthening religious ethics. Second, morals towards fellow human beings, which are realized by fostering honesty, justice, tolerance, empathy, and social responsibility through daily interactions, cooperation, and social activities. Third, morals towards nature, which includes instilling an attitude of love for the environment, preserving God's creation, and building ecological awareness as part of a Muslim's moral responsibility. Strategies for implementing moral values include integrating values into all subjects, providing role models by teachers and other educational staff, fostering positive behavior within the school environment, and continuously evaluating student attitudes and behavior. This strategy is designed to instill moral values not only at the cognitive level but also as concrete habits in daily life. This article's contribution lies in developing a conceptual and practical framework for building an Islamic education system oriented toward holistic character formation. With this approach, moral values are expected to be thoroughly internalized in students' personal, social, and environmental lives.

Abstract

Amal Madani Indonesia (AMI) is a zakat philanthropic institution based in Cimahi, West Java, with a vision to empower communities through professional, transparent, and accountable management of zakat, infaq, and alms (ZIS) funds. As a zakat institution, AMI focuses not only on the collection and distribution of funds but also emphasizes the importance of good governance so that the collected funds can have a real impact on improving community welfare. This study aims to analyze AMI's contribution to improving community economic empowerment, evaluate the efficiency of zakat distribution, and examine the practice of Islamic philanthropic governance in the Cimahi region. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through field observations, documentation studies, and in-depth interviews with administrators and beneficiaries. The results show that AMI has a significant role in encouraging the socio-economic development of the surrounding community. The programs implemented are not only oriented towards distributing consumer assistance, but also focus on sustainable empowerment, for example through entrepreneurship training, mentoring micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), providing access to capital, and providing educational scholarships for children from underprivileged families. This strategy demonstrates that AMI is striving to shift the paradigm of zakat from merely a means of distributing welfare to an instrument for the economic development of the community. However, research also found several obstacles faced, including the program's distribution reach which is still limited to certain areas, limited human resources in managing empowerment programs, and low levels of zakat literacy among the community. The low understanding of some communities regarding the obligation of zakat has an impact on the potential for zakat collection that is not optimal. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve zakat education, optimize digital technology in collection and distribution, and strengthen collaboration with various parties, both government and the private sector.

Abstract

This research is based on the importance of relevant and contextual teaching materials that foster understanding and practice of religious values, particularly in the teaching of voluntary fasting at the elementary school level. In the context of Islamic religious education, voluntary fasting material not only aims to provide knowledge but also to shape students' religious character from an early age. The purpose of this study is to critically examine the suitability of the learning objectives, materials, and teaching methods in the teaching materials with the expected competency achievements in the curriculum. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a document study approach, through content analysis of Islamic Religious Education and Character Education teaching materials for grade VI. Data were collected through documentation techniques and interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the teaching materials generally contain voluntary fasting material in accordance with the applicable curriculum. However, there are still shortcomings in aspects of material depth, relevance to students' daily lives, and the diversity of learning methods used. The materials tend to be textual and do not fully encourage students' emotional involvement or spiritual practices. Furthermore, the emphasis on character building and internalization of religious values ​​in students' lives is not optimal. The conclusions of this study indicate the need to develop more applicable, interactive, and contextual teaching materials to improve students' understanding, religious attitudes, and active involvement in consciously and consistently observing the sunnah fast. As a follow-up to these findings, collaboration between teachers, textbook authors, and curriculum developers is crucial to ensure that teaching materials are not only cognitively appropriate.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of academic supervision in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers at SMA Plus Al Raihan Sukabumi. Academic supervision is a strategic effort undertaken by the school to ensure the quality of learning runs according to established standards, and to help teachers develop their professional skills, particularly in the pedagogical aspect. Pedagogical competence itself includes teachers' abilities to plan, implement, and evaluate the learning process according to the needs of students. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with the principal, teachers, and supervisors to obtain a comprehensive overview of the implementation of supervision. Observations focused on teacher activities during learning, as well as teacher interactions with supervisors during supervision. Documentation was used to supplement data related to the academic supervision program, lesson implementation plans (RPP), and supervision evaluation notes. The results of the study indicate that academic supervision has a significant contribution in improving the quality of planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning carried out by teachers. Through supervision, teachers are encouraged to be more creative and innovative in developing learning methods and media that are appropriate to student needs. In addition, supervision also provides constructive feedback so that teachers can reflect on their teaching practices and make continuous improvements. Academic supervision also encourages the creation of a collaborative atmosphere between teachers and supervisors, thus creating a working relationship that supports improving the quality of education. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of effective academic supervision plays a crucial role in improving the pedagogical competence of teachers at SMA Plus Al Raihan Sukabumi.
