Abstract

This study examines the Khidmah Tholabah program at Nurul Qur'an Praya Islamic Boarding School, an innovative model integrating community service into Islamic education. The research addresses three objectives: analyzing the program's conceptual foundations by blending Islamic pedagogy with service-learning theory, evaluating its sociological impact on local communities, and investigating student competency development. Using a qualitative case study approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 22 participants (4 administrators, 10 students, and 8 community members), participant observation across all program phases, and analysis of institutional documents and student reflection journals from March to April 2024. Findings reveal that the program's three-stage implementation framework successfully merges classical Islamic concepts like khidmah (service) and tarbiyah (holistic education) with experiential learning methodologies. Students developed enhanced religious understanding, teaching skills, and leadership capabilities through structured community engagement activities including Quranic instruction, Islamic lectures, and environmental clean-ups. The program strengthened community ties through reciprocal learning relationships and revived communal religious practices. The study’s originality lies in its detailed documentation of how traditional pesantren education can systematically incorporate service learning while maintaining religious authenticity. Key limitations include the single-site nature of the study and the relatively short observation period. The findings offer valuable insights for Islamic educators seeking to develop curriculum models that combine spiritual formation with social responsibility.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of millennial fiqh in madrasahs in Mandailing Natal, Indonesia, to bridge Islamic tradition and digital modernity for Generation Z. Adopting a qualitative case study design, data were collected from three accredited madrasahs (A, B, and C) through in-depth interviews with principals, fiqh teachers, and students, participatory observations in classrooms and digital environments, and analysis of curriculum documents and teaching materials. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources (comparing perspectives of teachers, students, and documents), methods (integrating interviews, observations, and document analysis), and theories (referencing maqashid sharia and digital education frameworks). Thematic analysis, based on Miles and Huberman’s model, identified patterns of challenges and opportunities. Findings indicate that millennial fiqh implementation is hindered by normative curricula focused on classical fiqh, limited teacher capacity in digital issues, inadequate technological infrastructure, dominant traditional values, and negative social media influences, such as hate speech and cyberbullying. However, significant opportunities arise from students’ enthusiasm for contemporary fiqh, teachers’ openness to innovation, and technology’s potential as an interactive learning medium. The proposed millennial fiqh curriculum model integrates maqashid sharia principles into social media ethics, contemporary fatwas on digital transactions, and real-world case studies. This model enhances students’ digital ethics awareness, teachers’ pedagogical skills, and madrasahs’ adaptability. Theoretically, millennial fiqh enriches contemporary Islamic education, supporting Sustainable Development Goals for inclusive education with substantial local and global implications.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the experiences of non-Muslim students at Muhammadiyah University of Palopo within the context of inclusive Islamic education and to develop a relevant and contextual conceptual model. A qualitative approach with a hermeneutic phenomenological design was employed to investigate students' subjective experiences through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The main findings include the adaptation process of non-Muslim students, which begins with a "culture shock" and transforms into acceptance and integration; Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan courses serve as arenas for negotiating meaning and identity, with diverse perceptions; patterns of identity negotiation are categorized as assertive, adaptive, and compartmentalized identities; transformative experiences emerge in cognitive, affective, and behavioural dimensions; and institutional support varies among universities, with institutions in urban-pluralistic areas demonstrating more systematic inclusive policies. Based on these findings, an inclusive Islamic education model was developed that integrates Islamic values with principled inclusivity, encompassing structural, pedagogical, relational, and spiritual dimensions. This research makes an original contribution by expanding the concept of inclusivity in Islamic education and offering an operational framework for the transformation of moderate and inclusive Islamic education in Indonesia. The study's limitations regarding location and resource context form the basis for recommendations for further testing.

Abstract

The phenomenon of academic stress among students of modern Islamic boarding schools is increasingly worrying along with high academic and non-academic demands. This study aims to reduce academic stress through interventions in the form of psychoeducation and stress management strategy training for new students at the Darul Hikmah Modern Islamic Boarding School. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a pre-test and post-test design for the same group. This study involved 31 students as samples taken using incidental sampling techniques. The instrument used was the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA) with a reliability of 0.808 which has been adapted into Indonesian. The intervention given in this study was stress management psychoeducation. The data analysis method used was the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the stress management strategy with the TALK method (Find, Teach, Exercise, Consultation) was proven to be effective. There was a significant increase in students' understanding of academic stress after participating in psychoeducation. In addition, the results also show that the intervention given is able to reduce students' academic stress with a value of (Z = - 3.924 with p = 0.00; Mean Pre-test = 47.00 with Mean Post Test = 41.77) which means that the stress management strategies taught are effective in reducing the pressure experienced by students. This study concludes that psychoeducation and stress management training are effective preventive and curative strategies for dealing with academic stress in the Islamic boarding school environment. The existence of ongoing training and social support from the environment is very much needed to support the sustainability of the intervention results and maintain individual welfare so that students can achieve more optimal academic achievement.

Abstract

During the growing challenge of moral degradation and identity crisis in education, character development rooted in Islamic values is essential. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Islamic character education at Muhammadiyah Boarding School (MBS) through the implementation of Tajdid (renewal) and Khaira Ummah (the best people) values in shaping the Pancasila Student Profile. Using a library research method with a qualitative approach, the study examines scientific literature, policy documents, and research findings related to character education, Muhammadiyah ideology, and national character standards. The findings reveal that MBS applies an integrative and contextual educational model, combining classroom learning with 24-hour character coaching, value habituation, role modeling, and Islamic-based community life. Tajdid values support innovation, adaptability, and critical thinking, while Khaira Ummah promotes moral integrity, social responsibility, and civic engagement. These values are implemented through structured programs, such as the ISMUBA curriculum, reward–punishment systems, and collaborative teacher–dormitory mentoring. The study concludes that integrating Tajdid and Khaira Ummah values with the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile creates a harmonious synergy between Islamic identity and national character. Limitations of the study include its conceptual nature without empirical field data. Future research should apply qualitative or mixed methods in specific MBS contexts to validate the model. This study offers originality by proposing a conceptual model of Islamic character education that bridges religious values and national ideals, contributing to Islamic education theory and national education policy discourse.

Abstract

This study analyzes the multifaceted relationship between institutional and personal determinants that mold the execution of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program at the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication in particular State Islamic Universities (PTKIN) in Central Java and Yogyakarta. The analysis seeks to chart strategic priorities for implementing MBKM in the religious higher education setting. This research uses a qualitative descriptive field study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document reviews from purposively selected informants like faculty heads, lecturers, students, and external partners. The data were evaluated using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, supported by triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing to ensure validity. The study finds that successful MBKM execution is greatly influenced by strategic interunit communication, adaptive organizational structure, and incorporation into existing academic systems. Conversely, key inhibiting elements include bureaucratic rigidity, nonstandardized assessment processes, limited socialization, budgetary constraints, and weak external collaboration. These dynamics reflect the practical application of Pressman & Wildavsky's policy implementation theory, Mazmanian & Sabatier's structural framework, and Lewin's Unfreeze–Change–Refreeze model, demonstrating that effective policy adoption necessitates structural transformation and cultural adaptation. This research is exploratory and context-specific, focusing on selected PTKIN in Central Java and DI Yogyakarta. It does not include longitudinal data or viewpoints from alums and national-level stakeholders, restricting its generalizability. This study contributes to the literature by offering an in-depth policy analysis of MBKM implementation in religious higher education institutions using a combination of classic policy implementation and organizational change theories—an approach infrequently used in previous research in this domain.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe the forms of collaboration between schools and parents in implementing character education for pupils in Years 1 to 3 at the primary education level, also known as the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using phenomenological methods, enabling an in-depth exploration of the subjective experiences of educational stakeholders. Data were collected through triangulated in-depth interviews, limited participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that collaboration in character education between madrasahs and parents is dynamic, integrative, and multidimensional, consisting of five key forms: 1) consistent two-way communication serving as an ecological bridge between home and school; 2) participatory parental involvement in school activities as contextual arenas for value socialisation; 3) character value synchronisation through co-developed guidance, establishing a microsystemic moral contract between teachers and parents; 4) integration of local wisdom values such as ojo dumeh, unggah-ungguh, and gotong royong, reinforcing pupils' cultural identity; and 5) character reinforcement through family-based support involving moral rituals, daily habits, and reflective practices at home. The study is limited by its localised context, relatively few participants, and the absence of prolonged observation of home–school interaction. Its original contribution lies in integrating Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory with culturally grounded character education practices and recommending digital and community-based collaborative strategies suitable for primary education settings in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the relationship between academic stress and students' engagement among santri in Islamic Boarding Schools and explore the moderating role of social support in mitigating the negative impact of academic stress on learning engagement. This research was conducted at SMP Muhammadiyah Boarding School Palopo. The population consisted of 207 students from grades VII to IX. A sample of 136 students was selected using the stratified random sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring academic stress, social support, and student engagement, and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 software. The results show that academic stress has a positive but not statistically significant effect on students' engagement. Conversely, social support has a positive and significant effect and is a considerable moderator that reduces the negative impact of academic stress on learning engagement. In other words, santri who receive strong social support tend to remain actively engaged in the learning process despite facing academic pressures. The limitation of this study lies in the small sample size and its focus on a single Islamic Boarding Schools. Therefore, the findings cannot be widely generalized.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between initial abilities and emotional intelligence with student learning outcomes. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method and correlational analysis techniques. The study population consisted of 120 PGMI students of the 2022/2023 intake. The study population of students of the 2022/2023 intake was 120 students. The results of this study were processed using regression analysis techniques of simple correlation, partial correlation, regression, and multiple correlation. The study found that there was a positive and significant correlation between (a) Initial abilities (X1) and learning outcomes (Y) with Ŷ = 7.93 + 1.938 X1 and ry1 = 0.798; (b) emotional intelligence (X2) and learning outcomes (Y) with Ŷ = 18.94 + 0.186X2 and ry2 = 0.90. So it is known that there is a positive relationship between initial ability (X1) and emotional intelligence (X2) with student learning outcomes (Y) with Ŷ = 21.1 + 0.103 X1, +0.33X2 and a correlation coefficient of ry12 = 0.87. This study is limited to PGMI students of the 2022/2023 intake at one institution with a correlational design, so it cannot be generalized and does not show a causal relationship. In addition, other factors such as learning motivation and environment were not analyzed. This study combines initial ability and emotional intelligence as predictors of learning outcomes in the PGMI context, resulting in a multiple regression model with a strong correlation that can be used as a basis for developing educational strategies.

Abstract

Ahmadiyya students represent a minority group within an educational setting dominated by the Sunni majority. This article explores their interpretation of freedom to learn in the context of Islamic Religious Education, which is largely shaped by the prevailing Sunni ideology encountered in classrooms and schools. The study employs a qualitative approach using a phenomenological method. Nine students from SMPN 16 Mataram were selected as informants. Based on in-depth interviews and observations, the findings reveal that Ahmadiyya students generally feel they are treated equally to other students and do not experience institutional discrimination. Nevertheless, they occasionally face negative treatment from peers. Despite the absence of overt discrimination, these students do not experience full educational freedom. The content of Islamic Religious Education often contradicts Ahmadiyya theological perspectives, particularly concerning the prophethood of Muhammad, Jesus, and Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Additionally, they face challenges in participating in congregational prayers held in the school’s mushalla, as their doctrine stipulates that such prayers should ideally only be conducted with fellow Ahmadiyya adherents in Ahmadiyya mosques. Their compliance with school practices is largely a strategy to adapt, maintain personal safety, and avoid conflict, ridicule, or acts of aggression. This study has certain limitations due to the limited availability of research subjects to junior high school students, whose ability to provide in-depth responses is constrained. The originality of this research lies in its exploration of Ahmadiyya students' self-conception and their interpretation of freedom to learn within Islamic Religious Education in a school environment dominated by the Sunni majority.
