Abstract

The development of digital technology has brought significant changes in the field of education, particularly in how teachers and students interact during the learning process. One of the positive impacts of digital technology advancement is the increasing use of digital learning media to enhance critical thinking skills among elementary school students. Critical thinking is one of the essential 21st-century skills that must be taught from an early age to enable students to analyz, evaluate, and solve problems independently. This study employs a library research method (literature review) with a qualitative approach, reviewing various scientific journals published between 2020 and 2025 through google scholar and Publish or Perish that discuss the relationship between digital media and critical thinking skills. The analysis results indicate that digital learning media such as interactive PowerPoint, instructional videos, online quizzes, Android-based educational games, and flipbooks can enhance student engagement, facilitate concept comprehension, and develop critical thinking skills. Therefore, digital learning media play an important role as effective tools to create more interactive and engaging learning experiences while supporting the optimal development of elementary students’ critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Indonesian government’s policies to improve education quality and their implications for the advancement of Islamic education. Over the past two decades, education quality has become a central issue in the national education system, especially following the implementation of various policies such as the National Education Standards (SNP), the Education Quality Assurance System (SPMP), teacher certification, professional education programs (PPG), and the Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka initiative. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method using a library research approach through the analysis of legal documents, ministerial reports, books, and scholarly journals published between 2019 and 2025. The findings indicate that government policies to improve education quality have significantly contributed to strengthening Islamic education systems in both public and religious schools. Curriculum reform, teacher professionalism, and the digitalization of madrasahs have become key drivers in Islamic education development. However, implementation challenges persist, including regional quality disparities, limited human resources, and uneven institutional capacity. Therefore, synergy between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Religious Affairs is essential to establish an integrated quality assurance system consistent with Islamic values.

Abstract

This study discusses strategies for strengthening the values of Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) An-Nahdliyah through the Istighosah religious activity program at SMA Manba’il Huda Jenu in the 2024/2025 academic year. The background of this research is based on the increasing challenges of radicalism and extreme religious understanding among the younger generation, which requires systematic efforts to instill moderate, tolerant Islamic values rooted in Aswaja principles. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The findings reveal that the Istighosah program plays a significant role in strengthening Aswaja An-Nahdliyah values, including tawassuth (moderation), tasamuh (tolerance), tawazun (balance), and i’tidal (justice). Through the habituation of religious activities, students not only enhance their spirituality but also develop strong religious character, nationalism, and resilience against radical ideologies. Therefore, the Istighosah program is an effective strategy for internalizing Aswaja An-Nahdliyah values within the educational environment.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the contextual teaching approach in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMP Khairunnas Tuban, as well as to identify the supporting factors, obstacles, and its impact on shaping students’ Islamic character and work ethics. This approach is considered essential because it connects the instructional material with students’ real-life experiences, enabling the learning process to become more relevant and meaningful. The study employs a qualitative research method with a descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation review. The research subjects consisted of Islamic Religious Education teachers and eighth-grade students. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. This study provides a comprehensive illustration regarding the effectiveness of contextual teaching in fostering Islamic character among students. The findings show that the contextual approach has been implemented well, although it is not yet consistent and lacks variety in instructional methods. This approach has succeeded in improving students’ understanding of Islamic values and encouraging the application of Islamic work ethics in daily life. Supporting factors include the religious school environment and the teacher’s competence, while the obstacles arise from limited variation in teaching methods, time constraints, and insufficient contextual learning media. The study recommends the development of more creative teaching strategies and the use of more contextual media, as well as expanding the research scope to various Islamic schools to obtain more comprehensive and sustainable results.

This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the implementation of muraja’ah and takrir, supported by the use of a digital Qur’an, is able to enhance students’ fluency, accuracy, and retention of Qur’anic memorization. In addition, the use of a digital Qur’an has a positive effect on students’ learning motivation and independence in memorizing the Qur’an. Therefore, it can be concluded that the integration of muraja’ah and takrir methods supported by a digital Qur’an is an effective learning strategy for improving students’ Qur’anic memorization ability at MAN 1 Tuban.
