Abstract

The relationship between religious doctrine and national identity remains a critical discourse in the Muslim world. The object of this research is Wasathiyatul Islam (Islamic Moderation) in Indonesia, which serves as a theological framework for balancing religious observance with social justice. However, the emergence of rigid transnational ideologies poses a significant challenge to this harmony, creating a potential disconnect between religious doctrine and local culture. To address this issue, this research aims to analyze how the values of Wasathiyatul Islam are transformed and harmonized within the dialectics of Indonesian society. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through literature reviews and social observations, then analyzed using an interactive model to interpret the "lived experience" of moderation. The results reveal that the harmonization process is manifested through four key indicators: national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and accommodation of local culture. A synthesis of these findings demonstrates that moderation in Indonesia is not merely a top-down state policy but an organic, bottom-up cultural practice where local wisdom serves as a vessel for religious values. In conclusion, Wasathiyatul Islam successfully functions as a unifying instrument, creating a "State of Consensus" where Indonesian Muslims practice their faith devoutly while maintaining unwavering loyalty to the nation.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning has a strategic role in shaping the character of students who are religious, tolerant, and have noble morals. Amidst the reality of Indonesian multicultural society, PAI learning is required to be able to internalize the values of religious moderation as an effort to prevent extreme, radical, and intolerant attitudes. Religious moderation is an important paradigm in Islamic education to instill a balanced and contextual religious attitude. This proceedings article aims to examine the concept, strategy, and implications of moderation-based Islamic Religious Education learning through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The SLR method is used to examine journal articles, scientific books, and proceedings relevant to the topic of PAI learning and religious moderation in the last ten years. The results of the study indicate that moderation-based PAI learning is based on the values of wasathiyah, tawazun, i'tidal, and tasamuh which are integrated into the curriculum, learning methods, and the role models of educators. The implementation of moderation-based PAI learning has a positive impact on the formation of inclusive, tolerant attitudes and the ability to live peacefully together in students. This article is expected to be an academic reference for educators and researchers in developing Islamic Religious Education learning that is relevant to the social challenges and diversity of Indonesian society.

Abstract

Character-based Islamic education plays a crucial role in shaping environmental awareness and behavior in schools. This study aims to analyze the role of character-based Islamic education in shaping environmental behavior and supporting the realization of Green Schools. The research approach uses a literature review method with content analysis techniques. An analysis of 17 scientific literature, consisting of books and articles from national and international journals published between 2022 and 2025, focused on the integration of Islamic values into Islamic Religious Education (ISE), the process of character internalization, and ecological practices in the school environment. The results indicate that the values of trustworthiness, responsibility, simplicity, and the concept of khalifah fil The environment is the main foundation for fostering students' ecological awareness. The integration of religious beliefs, morals, and Islamic jurisprudence with environmental issues can transform religious values into concrete actions through habituation and exemplary behavior by educators. Changes in student behavior are reflected in habits of maintaining cleanliness, managing waste, and sustainably caring for the school environment. Character-based Islamic education also contributes to building an environmentally friendly school culture and strengthening synergy between schools and the community. This study confirms that character-based Islamic education is relevant as a moral and spiritual approach to addressing the challenges of the environmental crisis. The Green School model based on Islamic values has the potential to become a strategic alternative in developing sustainable education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the collective kiai leadership policies in enhancing the quality of madrasah education at Bahrul Ulum Islamic Boarding School, Tambakberas, Jombang. Using a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, the study collects data through in-depth interviews, structured observation, and documentation. The data analysis process involves three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study reveals that the formulation of collective leadership policies is based on the need to achieve religious goals, legal foundations, and community needs. These policies are oriented toward problem-solving and continuity, formulated through deliberation and consensus involving all kiai leaders of both formal and non-formal educational institutions within the pesantren. The implementation of these policies emphasizes scholarly sanad and intellectual tradition across all educational institutions. Key aspects include educational administration, human resource development, strengthening formal education based on national accreditation standards, providing entrepreneurship education, and participating in faith-based as well as science and technology competitions at national and international levels. The evaluation of these policies is carried out collectively by all caretakers and leaders in alignment with established policies to ensure quality improvement across the pesantren’s formal and non-formal educational institutions.

The objective of this study is to formulate new propositions on school management based on the findings obtained from the two schools under investigation, namely: (1) school planning in improving teacher performance at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Trenggalek and State Senior High School 1 Trenggalek; (2) the implementation of school management in improving teacher performance at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Trenggalek and State Senior High School 1 Trenggalek; and (3) school supervision in improving teacher performance at State Islamic Senior High School 1 Trenggalek and State Senior High School 1 Trenggalek. This research employed a case study approach with a qualitative research design. The researcher’s presence in the schools served as the primary instrument, supported by non-human instruments as complementary tools. Data sources consisted of primary data in the form of words and actions observed from principals, vice principals, teachers, and administrative staff, as well as secondary data in the form of school documents. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which comprises data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The data analysis techniques applied were (1) single-case analysis conducted separately in each school and (2) cross-case analysis conducted by comparing and synthesizing data across cases. The research findings indicate that: (1) school planning to improve teacher performance carried out by principals included (a) adherence to the school’s vision, mission, and objectives; (b) consideration of the results of the School Self-Evaluation (EDS) through SWOT analysis to enhance teacher performance; and (c) the formulation of school activity plans collaboratively with the school committee; (2) the implementation of school management to improve teacher performance by principals involved (a) mobilizing and motivating all members of the school community and utilizing all available school resources; (b) controlling and supervising the implementation of school activities; (c) securing support for school activities from parents/guardians, the school committee, and the community; (d) fulfilling teachers’ needs; (e) proportional distribution of tasks and clear job descriptions aligned with teachers’ competencies; (f) enhancement of teacher competencies; and (g) fostering a culture of mutual cooperation, care, and respect among school members to improve teacher performance.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low levels of student motivation and cognitive learning outcomes in the Islamic Education (PAI) subject at SMK Pasundan 1 and SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur. The phenomenon was identified through preliminary observations showing that 45% of students scored below the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) and demonstrated low engagement during the learning process. The school’s efforts to improve student motivation and learning outcomes have not been optimal, as teaching methods and media are still largely limited to conventional approaches. Therefore, innovation in learning through the use of technology-based interactive multimedia such as Google Classroom, YouTube, and Quizizz is needed to create more engaging and effective learning experiences. The objectives of this study were to identify: (1) the implementation of Google Classroom, YouTube, and Quizizz multimedia in PAI learning; (2) students’ learning motivation; (3) students’ cognitive learning outcomes; (4) the influence of multimedia implementation on students’ learning motivation; (5) the influence of multimedia implementation on students’ cognitive learning outcomes; and (6-8) the qualitative findings that expand and deepen the quantitative results regarding multimedia implementation, learning motivation, and cognitive learning outcomes at SMK Pasundan 1 and SMK Bunga Persada Cianjur. This research employed a Mixed Methods approach using a sequential explanatory design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods in sequence. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and document analysis.
