Abstract

This study reconstructs Islamic Religious Education beyond curriculum standardization by proposing a context-based framework applicable across schools, madrasahs, and pesantrens in Indonesia. It responds to the need for Islamic education to address socio-cultural diversity, technological transformation, local needs, and contemporary educational challenges while maintaining its Islamic foundations. Using a qualitative library research design, the study employed a critical-integrative review approach. Data were collected from 72 selected publications indexed in Scopus and other reputable academic databases and analyzed through thematic, comparative, and critical synthesis techniques. The findings indicate that curriculum contextualization functions as a transformative paradigm rather than merely a pedagogical strategy. Schools emphasize differentiated instruction and project-based learning, madrasahs integrate national and religious curricula while promoting religious moderation, and pesantrens adopt selective modernization while preserving Islamic traditions. Across these institutions, contextualization enhances curriculum relevance, learner engagement, digital adaptability, and character development. The study's novelty lies in the Context-Based Islamic Education Curriculum (CBIEC) framework, which integrates Islamic foundations, contextual realities, adaptive pedagogies, and future-oriented competencies. The study contributes to curriculum theory by demonstrating how contextualization can reconcile religious authenticity, institutional diversity, and contemporary educational demands.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Qur’anic education at the Indonesian School of Kota Kinabalu (Sekolah Indonesia Kota Kinabalu – SIKK) in Malaysia and its role in sustaining Islamic literacy within a multicultural educational environment. Using an intrinsic qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, Islamic education teacher, students, and parents, supported by participant observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis, while trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings indicate that Qur’anic education at SIKK functions not only to develop students’ ability to read and write the Qur’an but also to preserve religious identity, strengthen cultural continuity, and support students’ adaptation to multicultural realities. Four themes emerged: institutional commitment to preserving religious identity, negotiation of Islamic literacy within multicultural schooling, parental involvement as co-educators, and adaptive responses to structural constraints. The study introduces the concept of the Diaspora Islamic Literacy Ecosystem, which explains how schools, families, teachers, and multicultural contexts interact to sustain Islamic literacy among diaspora students. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic education, diaspora education, and multicultural schooling by offering a new conceptual framework for understanding Qur’anic education in overseas Muslim communities.

Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct contemporary Islamic education curricula through Ibn Khaldun's educational philosophy by integrating its epistemological, pedagogical, and curricular principles with modern curriculum theory. Using qualitative library research, the study analyzed Al-Muqaddimah as the primary source alongside contemporary Scopus-indexed literature through content analysis and philosophical interpretation. The findings identify four interconnected curriculum pillars: epistemological integration between naqliyyah and aqliyyah, development of malakah as holistic competence, developmental curriculum organization based on al-tadrij and takrar, and dialogical learner-centered pedagogy. These findings demonstrate that Ibn Khaldun's educational philosophy provides a more comprehensive curriculum reconstruction framework than previously recognized, challenging the assumption that his contribution is primarily historical. This study strengthens previous scholarship on Islamic educational philosophy, questions the dichotomy between religious and secular knowledge, and introduces the Integrative Islamic Curriculum Framework as a novel conceptual model linking classical Islamic educational philosophy with integrated curriculum, competency-based education, developmental curriculum theory, and constructivist learning. The framework provides a theoretical foundation for curriculum reform, educational policy, and future empirical studies supporting holistic, ethical, and digitally responsive Islamic education.

Abstract

This study investigates how Islamic Religious Education teachers cultivate ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Indonesian Islamic schools amid rapid digital transformation. A qualitative case study was conducted at SMPS IT Nurul Wahdah Pontianak, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with Islamic Religious Education teachers and school stakeholders, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using an interactive thematic approach involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while credibility was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that students widely utilize AI for learning, yet its use raises ethical concerns, including overdependence, declining academic integrity, limited critical reflection, and inadequate information verification. In response, teachers implement an integrated pedagogical approach by embedding the Islamic values of ṣidq (truthfulness), amānah (trustworthiness), mas'ūliyyah (responsibility), and tabayyun (critical verification), modelling ethical AI practices, promoting reflective Islamic digital literacy, and strengthening collaboration among schools and families. This study introduces Islamic Ethical Pedagogy as an integrated framework linking AI literacy, ethical governance, teacher agency, and Islamic educational values. The proposed framework provides theoretical and practical guidance for integrating AI responsibly while fostering students' ethical awareness, academic integrity, critical thinking, and character formation in Islamic education.

Abstract

Bullying remains a persistent challenge in Indonesian madrasahs, requiring preventive approaches that integrate moral education with school culture. This study aims to examine how Islamic Religious Education teachers transform akhlakul karimah values into a sustainable anti-bullying school culture and to develop an empirically grounded conceptual model. A qualitative case study was conducted through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving school leaders, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and students in an Indonesian madrasah. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings reveal that bullying prevention is more effective when teachers function as transformational role models who internalize compassion, brotherhood, respect, tolerance, and social responsibility through learning, moral reflection, habituation, peer support, and institutional reinforcement. The study proposes an Akhlakul Karimah-Based Anti-Bullying School Culture Model comprising four interconnected components: value internalization, teacher role modelling, moral habituation, and institutional reinforcement. This model extends existing bullying prevention frameworks by integrating Islamic moral pedagogy with school culture theory and offers practical guidance for educators, school leaders, and policymakers seeking sustainable character-based bullying prevention in Islamic educational settings and future comparative research.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of TPACK-driven digital pedagogy in enhancing learning outcomes and learning motivation in Aqidah Akhlak among Islamic elementary students. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control-group design, the study involved fifth-grade students at SDIT Harapan Ummah Karawang. The experimental group received TPACK-based instruction, whereas the control group experienced conventional teaching. Data were collected through validated learning outcome tests and learning motivation questionnaires and analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and independent samples t-tests. The findings revealed that students exposed to TPACK-driven digital pedagogy achieved significantly higher learning outcomes and stronger learning motivation than those in conventional classrooms. These results indicate that integrating technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge creates more engaging, meaningful, and effective Aqidah Akhlak learning. The originality of this study lies in providing empirical evidence from Islamic elementary education, an underexplored context within TPACK research. Furthermore, the study extends existing scholarship by demonstrating that TPACK enhances both cognitive achievement and affective engagement simultaneously, offering practical guidance for teachers, schools, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking sustainable digital transformation in Islamic Religious Education through pedagogically meaningful technology integration initiatives.
