Abstract

This study aims to identify the profiles of students with functional learning disabilities in 30 schools (Elementary Schools/Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) in Lombok Timur, Indonesia, as well as to explore the challenges faced by teachers and principals in providing appropriate interventions. The research methodology employed data analysis from questionnaires, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions with 120 teachers from Elementary Schools/Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. The analysis results indicate that out of a total of 2763 registered students, 283 students experience functional learning disabilities, with the majority being female students (58%) and male students (42%). Cognitive and dyslexia-related disabilities are the most common types of disabilities, followed by behavioural and emotional disabilities. Teachers and principals encounter difficulties in providing appropriate and effective interventions for these students with special needs. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that concerted efforts are required among schools, teachers, parents, and various stakeholders to develop more effective inclusive education strategies. Recommended steps include providing additional training for teachers, creating more structured student support programs, and enhancing communication between schools and parents.

Abstract

The low adoption rate of information systems in Islamic educational institutions highlights a gap between technological advancement and user acceptance, particularly within madrasa management. This study examines the acceptance and effectiveness of EMIS 4.0 in a private Islamic boarding school in Malangbong District, utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the theoretical framework. A quantitative, ex post facto design was employed, with data collected from madrasa operators through questionnaires and analyzed statistically. The results indicate that management support has a significant influence on both perceived usefulness (p = 0.016) and actual system use (p = 0.022). In contrast, prior experience and training have a significant effect on perceived ease of use (p = 0.016 and p = 0.007). Although perceived usefulness does not significantly impact attitude (p = 0.416), it affects intention to use (p = 0.047), with both attitude (p = 0.029) and intention (p = 0.025) predicting actual use. This study contributes to the contextual application of TAM and offers practical strategies for sustainable EMIS adoption in faith-based schools.

Abstract

Curriculum integration between Islamic Boarding Schools and Islamic Universities is an important issue in the context of Islamic education in Indonesia, the diversity of Indonesian culture requires a more inclusive and adaptive educational approach as an anticipation of the risk of losing students' social competence and as a solution to improving the character of religious and cultural values ​​as an effort to enhance the success of educational quality. This study aims to explore the dynamics of collaboration between Islamic boarding schools and universities in carrying out the process and the positive implications of integrating an educational curriculum that teaches religious knowledge, worldly skills, and multicultural values. Using a qualitative approach, data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis related to both institutions' curricula and learning activities. The study results show that the formal and non-formal collaboration process between universities and Islamic boarding schools has succeeded in producing a curriculum that combines Islamic values, general skills, and cross-cultural knowledge, facilitating the exchange of experiences that enrich students' perspectives. The impact of this integration includes increasing attitudes of tolerance, respect for diversity, and deeper understanding; the quality of social interactions between both becomes more harmonious and open to differences. These findings highlight the importance of teaching multiculturalism in Islamic education, which is theoretical and applied in everyday life. The novelty of this study lies in the ability of Islamic educational institutions to integrate multicultural values ​​relevant to the pluralistic Indonesian context and contribute to the development of more adaptive and moderate student characters. This study recommends developing cross-institutional programs to strengthen curriculum integration and increase social impact.

Abstract

Prior research has demonstrated that bullying at Islamic boarding schools is a concerning issue, since it can hinder the psychological, social, and spiritual growth of students. Islamic boarding schools continue to report numerous incidents of bullying, encompassing verbal, physical, and social manifestations, despite their recognition as institutions that promote Islamic values. This study implemented a program to reduce bullying behaviour in a boarding school. This experimental study utilised both quantitative and qualitative methods, notably implementing a pretest-posttest design. Researchers selected a total of 30 students. The researchers gathered data by distributing a questionnaire designed to quantify the bullying variable. Following the data collection, the researchers implemented an intervention. Before the Ta'awun training intervention, researchers conducted a pretest to assess the students' baseline comprehension of bullying. Researchers utilised the pretest data to delineate the participants' status before the intervention. Researchers conducted a posttest in the last phase to evaluate the participants' knowledge of bullying following the intervention. The results indicated an 8.33% improvement in kids' comprehension of anti-bullying Ta'awun. The students successfully developed posters displaying the words "no bullying", accompanied by relevant drawings as a means of anti-bullying expression. Students preferred the Ta'awun anti-bullying program due to its comprehensive and collaborative approach, grounded in Islamic teachings. The students appreciated the Ta'awun anti-bullying initiative for its thorough and cooperative methodology, which is grounded in Islamic principles. Ta'awun training is designed with the student's well-being and the institution's needs in mind, so that participants can carry out their role as anti-bullying ambassadors with enthusiasm and without feeling burdened.

Abstract

Problem-solving competence is crucial for prospective Madrasah Ibtidaiyah teachers in making instructional decisions. This study examined the influence of project-based learning on problem-solving skills within Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and identified supporting and inhibiting factors in a civic education instruction course. An embedded mixed-method design was applied to 46 prospective Madrasah Ibtidaiyah teachers at Universitas Islam Lamongan. Quantitative data were gathered through the Problem-Solving Inventory and problem-solving skills within the PCK test dimension. These data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, effect size, and N-gain. Qualitative data from observations, interviews, and documentation were thematically analyzed. Results indicated that project-based learning significantly enhanced problem-solving skills (p = 0.000), with a medium effect size (0.697) on the Problem Solving Inventory and a large effect size (0.87) on PCK. However, the N-gain score was relatively low (0.27). Qualitative findings reinforced these results, highlighting contextual learning, collaboration, critical thinking, systematic planning, reflection, lecturer support, resource availability, and field experience as enablers. At the same time, group dynamics, coordination with school teachers, and students’ initial readiness acted as barriers. This study underscores the potential of project-based learning to bridge theory and practice while fostering problem-solving skills among prospective Madrasah Ibtidaiyah teachers. Its novelty lies in exploring project-based learning across planning, implementation, and reflection, which represent enacted PCK (ePCK) within the Refined Consensus Model, as well as integrating collective PCK (cPCK) as content knowledge. Future research should involve larger samples, design project-based pedagogical modules, and examine long-term effects on both ePCK and cPCK development.

Abstract

This study investigates the transmission of local Islamic texts used in West Kalimantan (Borneo, Indonesia) for Islamic religious education during the 20th century. It addresses a research gap concerning how Islamic knowledge was disseminated through printed works by local scholars. The research adopts a qualitative historical approach, employing content analysis through comprehensive reading, categorization, interpretation, and synthesis of primary sources. The findings reveal that Islamic educational materials in Borneo encompassed texts on theology (‘aqīdah, usūl al-dīn), jurisprudence (fiqh), history, and Qur’anic studies (‘ulūm al-Qur’ān), distributed via both commercial transactions and gifts by peers, religious officials, and sales agents. The study concludes that these transmission networks extended to neighboring Islamic sultanates and even reached Brunei Darussalam. Furthermore, these networks significantly influenced the development of educational institutions that integrated Islamic religious sciences with Western knowledge. The epistemology of Islamic education in Kalimantan was not merely a preserved tradition but a modern system open to knowledge, enabling the transmission of Islamic knowledge beyond formal institutions into broader society. This research makes an essential contribution to the development of Islamic education and the mapping of Islamic scholarship networks in the archipelago.

Abstract

This study explores the role of humanistic leadership among school principals in fostering effective collaboration with parents through collaborative problem-solving in Islamic-based schools in East Java. Employing a qualitative approach that involves interviews, observations, and documentation, this research integrates servant leadership principles with Islamic educational values, such as trust, justice, and communal benefit. The study reveals that principals who adopt a humanistic leadership style promote inclusive communication, mutual respect, and shared decision-making with parents, thereby enhancing student motivation, academic performance, and socio-emotional development. The novelty of this research lies in its integration of bibliometric analysis to map current research trends on humanistic leadership in Madrasah Aliyah, identifying key themes, gaps, and underexplored collaborative strategies involving school stakeholders. It uniquely combines theoretical insights from servant leadership and Islamic education with empirical findings from local contexts in East Java, offering a culturally grounded model for inclusive school governance. This study makes a significant contribution to the development of ethical leadership in Islamic education, encouraging school leaders to foster stronger, value-based partnerships with families to enhance educational quality.

Abstract

This paper aims to discover how santri’s resistance within kitab kuning reading acceleration program recently popular in Madurese pesantren turns out to improve the program itself. Santris’ resistance becomes a big deal considering its contradiction to ethical unwritten rules in pesantren while the fact shows how this phenomenon strikes. For that purpose, genealogy of such programs is firstly identified along with characteristics of each to figure out how, beyond the existing diversities, the programs share the same pattern, including the common root and impact of resistance. Involving 240 informants from santri, ustad, and program providers, this mixed research expanded its data compilation with in-depth interviews engaging some selected informants as well as comprehensive desk review. The result discloses  pesantren networking in intellectual hub responding to nowadays challenges in the decrease of kitab kuning reading proficiency along with dynamics of resistance among santri, mainly in negotiation type through emotional, verbal, and physical expression. Despite the fact that resistance mutates along with punishment as a part of rule, it has less influence on the program accomplishment, implying how both program and its resistance based system improvement transform the way Islamic education takes place beyond the studens’ sort of transgression.

Abstract

The dominance of the local realm and traditional values in Ma’had Aly has been deemed irrelevant in light of the recent need for modern education. Despite its significant potential, Ma’had Aly faces critical cultural challenges that hinder its transformation into a competitive and sustainable Islamic higher education institution. Accordingly, this article examines the cultural factors that influence governance, curriculum development, and technological integration within the context of ma’had aly, a pesantren-based model of Islamic higher education. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, this research gathered data from interviews with participants, documents, and observations. It was also supported by web scraping techniques—drawing from news outlets, websites, and social media platforms relevant to ma’had aly discourse. The findings revealed that Ma'had Aly faced cultural barriers in several key aspects. First, the dominance of conservatism is signified by the educational orientation that relies on classical texts, Islamic teachings, organisational structure, and institutional management that is not based on modernisation-administrative principles. Secondly, there is a traditional management approach that tends to be less adaptive, characterised by a centralised organisation, an alum majority in the staff structure, centralised policy, and central decision-making. Finally, this research identified curriculum decontextualization in the areas of curriculum composition, orientation, and implementation, which is considerably inflexible in the context of globalization and technological enhancement. Thus, this research highlights the need for visionary leadership that is responsive to change and for comprehensive institutional reform.

Abstract

The increasing use of generative AI tools in education highlights the need to understand how they can be effectively integrated into university-level teaching and learning. Although these tools offer great promise, the absence of a transparent and ethical framework for their implementation poses real challenges in aligning them with curriculum goals. AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, have already begun to reshape the way students learn, particularly in higher education settings. This research examines how students utilize ChatGPT for academic purposes, including studying, research, and learning activities. Using a quantitative approach, the study identifies usage trends and finds that students generally feel confident using ChatGPT, with many reporting improved engagement and productivity. The lack of regulated ethical standards for ChatGPT use and lecturer interventions prohibiting irresponsible use also impact the widespread use of ChatGPT in higher education settings. This study used quantitative data analysis involving 415 students from four universities: KH Abdul Chalim University, Brawijaya University, Sriwijaya University, and Gadjah Mada University. This research examines the benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations of utilising AI-based software in academic settings, particularly in higher education.
