Abstract

This study investigates the influence of self-regulation and adversity quotient on resilience and examines their implications for the psychological well-being of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers. A quantitative, predictive correlational design was employed. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that incorporated validated scales measuring self-regulation, resilience, and psychological well-being. Path analysis was conducted using JAMOVI software with a robust model. The results indicate that self-regulation positively and significantly affects resilience, while resilience, in turn, positively influences psychological well-being. Moreover, both self-regulation and adversity quotient were found to have direct positive effects on psychological well-being. The analysis further revealed indirect effects of self-regulation on psychological well-being mediated by resilience. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening self-regulation and resilience among IRE teachers to enhance their overall psychological well-being.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the challenges faced by madrasah ibtidaiyah in maintaining the quality of education amid limited resources and the demands of the Society 5.0 era, which requires adaptation to technology and social change. The gap between the ideal of educational quality and the actual conditions in the field underscores the need for practical, adaptive quality management strategies. Therefore, this study aims to analyse quality management strategies to address the resilience crisis in madrasah ibtidaiyahs, enabling them to maintain and improve their quality amid limitations. This study uses a qualitative case study approach conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 5 Bandar Lampung and Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Terpadu Muhammadiyah Bandar Lampung. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analysed using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study show that quality management strategies in both madrasahs are implemented through the visionary leadership of the madrasah principal, a culture of participatory deliberation, teacher competency development, creativity enhancement, and active student involvement in the learning process. Factors supporting this strategy include the spirit of teacher innovation, student participation, and collective awareness of the importance of quality education. The implications of this study emphasise the importance of strengthening teachers’ digital literacy, fostering a culture of collaboration, and securing external support from the government and community to enhance madrasah resilience in the era of Society 5.0.

Abstract

Improving the quality of education in madrasahs (Islamic schools) remains a concern, as these institutions strive to balance the development of spiritual values and professional proficiency with supportive learning environments. This study addresses ongoing debates about the quantifiable effects of faith-based pedagogy by examining how spiritual education, teacher professionalism, and school atmosphere influence educational quality. A quantitative design was employed involving 312 purposively selected madrasah teachers, and data were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings show that while the impact of spiritual education (β = 0.008) is statistically insignificant, the school environment (β = 0.568) and teacher professionalism (β = 0.318) considerably improve educational quality. These results highlight the importance of promoting professional competence and a supportive institutional environment to enhance madrasah performance. Meanwhile, the limited impact of spiritual education suggests the need for a more pedagogically grounded, evidence-based integration of spiritual values into instructional practices.

Abstract

Transformative Islamic Education goes beyond the delivery of the national curriculum to include social concerns that foster personal and communal growth. This study aims to explore and analyze the role of local Acehnese values, framed in the concepts of ‘Adat Geunareh, Syariat Geunaseh’, in developing a local wisdom-based transformative Islamic education model. This research is qualitative, with an ethnographic design, conducted through in-depth interviews and participant observation in formal and non-formal Islamic educational institutions in Aceh, alongside pertinent documentation. Crucial discoveries have demonstrated an Islamic transformative education model in Acehnese society, integrating Adat and Sharia as a single interdependent value system that fortifies life in the community and in Education. Through Islamic Education, local value folklore, traditional dhikr, and khanduri, are not only sustained but also integrated into the curriculum and culture. In this model, the study identified the following features: integrated, participatory, emancipatory, and contextual-culture. The originality of this study lies in demonstrating how both formal and informal Islamic educational institutions in Aceh can effectively incorporate customary and Sharia-based local values into the national curriculum within a pluralistic society. The results highlight the importance of revising education policies to reflect local cultural characteristics and religious values better.

Abstract

The transformation of higher education in the digital era encourages the implementation of innovative technology-based learning models across countries, including Indonesia and Malaysia. This study aims to identify innovative learning models applied at Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University, Malang, Indonesia, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, and to analyse their contributions to improving student spirituality. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through case studies, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data are analysed thematically through the processes of data reduction, presentation, and verification. The results of the study show that both institutions develop technology-based learning that not only supports academic achievement but also strengthens students’ affective aspects, especially spirituality. Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University Malang implements explicit integration of Islamic values into every digital learning component. At the same time, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia develops a contextual approach through value reflection and spiritually based projects. Lecturers at both institutions play a key role in guiding the use of technology for contemplation and character-building. These findings confirm that with the right pedagogical approach, technology can be an effective medium in strengthening students’ spiritual values in higher education.

Abstract

The phenomenon of low scientific literacy among early childhood learners, particularly in inclusive educational institutions, indicates a gap between policy and classroom practice. Children with special needs often experience limited access to adaptive science learning, even though scientific literacy skills are essential for developing reasoning and problem-solving abilities in daily life. This study aims to analyze teachers’ strategies for developing scientific literacy among children with special needs in inclusive early childhood education and to identify the challenges and solutions implemented by teachers at Ibnu Sina Islamic Kindergarten in Bandung Regency. The study employed a qualitative case study design, using in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and analysis of learning documents. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, with validity ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that teachers applied differentiated instruction, interpersonal communication, and the use of visual media, simple technology, and the surrounding environment as a natural laboratory. Collaboration among classroom teachers, special education teachers, parents, and the principal emerged as a key factor for success. The main challenges included limited resources, pedagogical competence, and the lack of specialized training in scientific literacy for children with special needs. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of enhancing teacher training, strengthening systemic support, and fostering school–family partnerships to achieve sustainable, inclusive science education.

Abstract

Abstract Environmental education programs in faith-based schools have predominantly focused on measurable outcomes and behavioral impacts, overlooking the critical role of leadership in cultivating sustainable environmental culture. This study examines how spiritual leadership influences the internalization of environmental values within Islamic educational institutions. Using a qualitative multiple-case study approach, this research investigates the mechanisms of integration of environmental ethics across seven eco-certified madrasahs in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with forty-two informants comprising school leaders, teachers, and students, complemented by document analysis and participatory observation. The study draws on Lickona’s character education theory to examine the moral and spiritual dimensions of environmental leadership. Three critical mechanisms emerged. First, spiritual leaders catalyze voluntary environmental stewardship by modeling eco-conscious behaviors rooted in Islamic teachings, creating authentic commitment rather than compliance. Second, systematic cultivation of environmental care culture transforms isolated activities into sustained institutional practices through ritualized habits and shared values. Third, curricular integration strengthens ecological consciousness by embedding faith-based environmental ethics across subject areas. This study demonstrates how spiritual leadership frameworks effectively advance environmental education beyond instrumental approaches. The findings offer practical implications for reconceptualizing environmental programs as integral character formation in school curricula and certification frameworks, developing professional development programs cultivating spiritual-ecological leadership competencies, and designing implementation models prioritizing cultural embedding through ritualized practices, offering transferable insights for sustainable education policy in diverse cultural contexts.

Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational environments has generated significant ethical and pedagogical challenges, particularly for faith-based schools that must balance technological innovation with deeply rooted theological commitments. While global research has examined AI’s pedagogical potential, limited attention has been given to how religious educational institutions interpret and regulate AI through their theological worldviews. This study aims to investigate how Christian educational theology, grounded in the Imago Dei, and Islamic educational theology, rooted in Tawhid and Akhlak, shape institutional policies, classroom practices, and ethical decision-making related to the use of AI. A qualitative comparative case study was conducted at SMA Katolik Frater Don Bosco and MAN Model Manado using classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that both schools adopt similar governance principles, including restricting AI autonomy in evaluative decisions, safeguarding human dignity, emphasizing a character-centered pedagogy, and using AI primarily to support rather than replace relational teaching roles. Although grounded in distinct theological traditions, both institutions articulate ethical boundaries that foreground human responsibility, moral intention, and personal interaction as essential elements of learning. These results demonstrate that religious traditions offer robust moral infrastructures for developing human-centered “algorethics” and provide contextually grounded insights that can enrich national and global discussions on the ethical implementation of AI in education.

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive examination of the impact of Islamic education on vulnerable groups, particularly women and children, at Dayah Diniyyah Darussalam in West Aceh. The primary objective of this study is to explore how Islamic education functions as both a source of religious knowledge and a transformative force that empowers women and supports the development of children within the dayah environment. This research employs a qualitative, ethnographic approach. The study collects data through prolonged observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the iceberg analysis model throughout the research process, enabling the researchers to uncover observable practices and deeper structural and cultural patterns. The analytical process concludes with a synthesis phase to ensure that the conclusions accurately represent the overall findings. The results indicate that Islamic education at Dayah Diniyyah Darussalam extends beyond doctrinal instruction; it actively catalyzes social transformation by strengthening women’s capacities, increasing their participation in community life, and fostering a sense of agency. For children, Islamic education promotes balanced intellectual, emotional, moral, and spiritual growth. The study also emphasizes that Islamic education advocacy plays a crucial role in shaping future educational orientations and policy frameworks, particularly in contexts with similar socio-cultural characteristics. The implications of this research extend beyond West Aceh and offer valuable insights for education policymakers, Islamic education practitioners, and stakeholders seeking to adopt or adapt similar community-based educational models.

Abstract

Islamic moral education has long been positioned as a normative and prescriptive process that emphasizes the doctrinal transmission of values. Such an approach tends to overlook the interpretive dimension and learners’ lived experiences in the process of internalizing moral values. Departing from these limitations, this article examines Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim by al-Zarnuji as a form of lived moral pedagogy within the pesantren context, employing Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutic theory of mimesis as the analytical framework. The purpose of this study is to understand how the moral teachings contained in Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim are not merely taught as normative texts but are internalized, mediated, and dynamically interpreted by educational actors in the pesantren. This research adopts a qualitative case study design conducted at Pesantren Buntet, Indonesia. Data collection techniques include participant observation, in-depth interviews with kiai, ustaz, and santri, and textual analysis of Ta‘lim al-Muta‘allim. The data are analyzed through Ricoeur’s three-stage mimesis framework: prefiguration, configuration, and refiguration. The findings reveal that al-Zarnuji’s moral principles function as pre-reflective ethical horizons that shape the dispositions of santri (Mimesis I), are configured into coherent pedagogical narratives through the authority and exemplarity of the kiai (Mimesis II), and are actively refigured by learners in their responses to contemporary educational challenges (Mimesis III). The implications of this study underscore that Islamic moral education should be understood as a hermeneutic-narrative praxis that integrates textual authority, pedagogical mediation, and learner agency, thereby contributing to the development of character education discourse in the modern era.
