Abstract

This study addresses the gap in systematic frameworks connecting Islamic environmental jurisprudence with contemporary environmental education principles, analyzing current practices and developing evidence-based integration models. This study employed a systematic literature review with a mixed-method synthesis following PRISMA guidelines. Data consisted of 53 peer-reviewed empirical articles published between 2021–2025, retrieved from the Scopus database using structured keyword combinations related to Islamic education and environmental sustainability. Data were collected through systematic screening, inclusion–exclusion criteria, and standardized extraction forms. Analysis was conducted using directed and conventional content analysis combined with thematic synthesis to identify integration patterns, challenges, and opportunities. Trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation of sources, transparent audit trails, and expert validation to enhance reliability and analytical rigor. The results show uneven integration of environmental education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Most institutions remain at early stages, with 53% applying thematic integration that embeds environmental issues superficially within Islamic subjects, while 23% offer specialized courses and only 9% achieve comprehensive institutional integration aligned with Islamic ecological principles such as khalifah fi al-ardh and maqashid al-shari‘ah. The remaining 15% reflect sporadic inclusion with minimal educational impact. These patterns indicate limited systemic transformation within Islamic education. Major constraints include teacher competency gaps, resource limitations, and weak policy support, while opportunities arise from increasing sustainability policies, digital learning potential, and support from Islamic organizations, positioning pesantren as strategic actors for advancing integrated Islamic environmental education.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate a curriculum synchronisation model between formal and non-formal education to optimise competency-based learning at the secondary school level. The research was motivated by the need to bridge the gap between competencies taught in schools and the skills required in the labour market and society. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was employed. Quantitative data were collected using purposive sampling through questionnaires distributed to 220 respondents, consisting of secondary school teachers, non-formal education managers, and students involved in integrated learning programs. In contrast, qualitative data were obtained through in-depth semi-structured interviews and non-participant classroom observation. Data were analysed using descriptive-inferential statistics and thematic analysis, while the validity of findings was ensured through methodological and source triangulation supported by expert judgment. The findings indicate that the implementation of the synchronised curriculum model increased students' overall competencies by 17%, with the most significant improvement observed in the psychomotor domain. Furthermore, 87% of respondents agreed that collaboration between formal and non-formal education is essential to enhance the relevance of learning. The study concludes that curriculum synchronisation effectively integrates theoretical and practical learning, strengthens institutional collaboration, and supports the implementation of competency-based education. These findings contribute theoretically to the development of integrative curriculum design and offer practical implications for adaptive and sustainable national education policies. However, this study is limited by its relatively short implementation period and its focus on a specific regional context, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the portrait of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers in educating students in the digital era, particularly in relation to their roles, strategies, and challenges they face. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, collecting data through semi-structured interviews with three IRE teachers, observation of learning in grades I–VI, and documentation of activities and school records. The validity of the data is guaranteed through triangulation of sources and techniques, while the analysis is carried out using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana models through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that IRE teachers carry out complex roles, including instilling digital morals, guiding religious literacy, being role models in the use of technology, motivating students, and evaluating understanding through digital media. The strategies implemented include the use of digital teaching materials, such as videos, images, and animations; interactive and contextual learning methods; digital communication with parents; and teacher competency development. The weakness of this study lies in the limited number of informants and also only conducted in one school.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the targhib wa tarhib method on students' learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education at State Senior High School 4 Pekanbaru. This Research employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The Research population consisted of 358 Muslim tenth-grade students at State Senior High School 4 Pekanbaru in the 2023/2024 academic year. The Research sample comprised 60 students selected using a purposive sampling technique, consisting of 30 students in the experimental class (X.7) and 30 in the control class (X.5), based on equivalent academic abilities and class-average scores from first-semester report cards. The treatment was administered across four 90-minute sessions. Data collection techniques employed a learning motivation questionnaire (13 items, Likert scale 1-5), observation of method implementation, and documentation. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson product-moment correlation (r calculated > r table), while reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha (α > 0.70). Data analysis utilized an independent-samples t-test in SPSS 26.0, preceded by normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk) and a homogeneity test (Levene's test). Research findings revealed a significant difference in students' learning motivation between experimental and control classes. The experimental class posttest mean score (48.63) was higher than the control class (43.47), with t-calculated = 3.653 > t-table = 2.00 and significance value 0.001 < 0.05. The motivation gain score for the experimental class (16.20) was higher than that of the control class (12.40). These findings indicate that the targhib wa tarhib method effectively enhances students' learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education through a combination of positive reinforcement and educational consequences, thus it can be implemented as an alternative learning strategy to increase student enthusiasm and active participation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the mechanisms of integrating educational activities and nonformal factors to achieve the maximum success of Majelis Raodhatul Khairat in strengthening Islamic education for Al-Khairat Muslim women in South Tinggede Village, despite operating with limited formal resources. The Research employs a qualitative approach with a single-case study design, data collection through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, as well as interactive model-based data analysis. The findings reveal that the majelis implements a holistic educational mechanism through the integration of four activities: recitation, yasinan, maulid, and funeral bathing training that address cognitive, spiritual, affective, and psychomotor dimensions in a balanced manner with strategies of Material contextualization, cyclical learning, and tiered development. Maximum success is supported by the synergy of ten nonformal factors: strong emotional bonds, transformative leadership, program flexibility, participatory learning, cultural support, social solidarity, nonformal incentive systems, program continuity, the use of simple technology, and alignment of vision with congregation aspirations, which interact within an organic learning ecosystem. The Research generates theoretical findings that social capital and the synergy of contextual factors are more determinative of the success of community-based nonformal Islamic education than the fulfillment of formal prerequisites, such as a rigidlya , structured curriculum and academically highly qualified teaching personnel. Implications for the SDGs include providing a replicable model of quality inclusive education (Goal 4), women's empowerment (Goal 5), and reduction of educational access disparities (Goal 10), demonstrating that community-based nonformal education can serve as an effective solution for sustainable development.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the development of the Tahfidz Qur'an programme in public schools and the limited research on the spiritual resilience of tahfidz students in public secondary schools that are multicultural in terms of religion and social background. This study aims to analyse the commitment, challenges, and adaptive strategies of tahfidz students in maintaining their memorisation of the Qur'an at SMA Negeri 3 Semarang. The research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection techniques included unstructured interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation, with primary data sources in the form of interviews and observations, and secondary data sources in the form of supporting documents for the tahfidz programme. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman model, while data validity was maintained through triangulation and member checking techniques. The results of the study show that the Tahfidz Programme at SMA Negeri 3 Semarang was born from the initiative of parents, supported by the school, PPPA (Program Pelatihan Penghafal Al-Qur’an) Darul Qur'an, and alums. Commitment to memorisation was formed through religious socialisation and intrinsic motivation. Multicultural challenges were relatively minor, in the form of awkwardness and peer distraction. Students applied social adaptation and self-regulation to maintain consistent and continuous muraja'ah.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of digital technology integration in the Islamic Religious Education learning process at the junior high school level. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through structured interviews with two Islamic Religious Education teachers and six students in grades VII–IX, passive participant observation, and learning documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Data validity was strengthened through the use of triangulation techniques. The results show that digital technology integration is implemented systematically from the planning stage to the evaluation of learning. The learning process utilises various digital platforms, including Microsoft Word for assignment management, Google Classroom as a learning management system, e-modules or digital books as learning resources, and evaluative and interactive applications such as Wayground or Quizizz, Google Forms, and Computer-Based Test (CBT). The process of integrating technology and appropriate pedagogical strategies improves the quality of Islamic religious education. The technology-integrated learning has received a positive response from students. This is evident in their enthusiasm, active involvement, and ease in understanding the learning material. However, the implementation of digital technology integration still faces several obstacles, including teachers' limited time in developing digital learning content and students' misuse of technology during the learning process. Theoretically, this research contributes to strengthening the understanding of the practice of integrating digital technology into Islamic Religious Education learning in the junior high school context. Practically, the findings imply the need for more structured digital content planning and effective digital classroom management to ensure that technology utilisation aligns with learning objectives.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the forms of audiovisual media utilisation in the Akidah Akhlak subject and analyse student learning outcomes at MIs Karya Thayyibah Limran Pantoloan Boya. The research employs a qualitative case study design to explore the implementation of audiovisual media in depth and context. Data collection was conducted through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, school principals, and students, and documentation of learning materials and student achievement data. Data analysis utilised the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of techniques and sources, member checking, and thick description. The findings reveal that audiovisual media are systematically utilised through animated learning videos, interactive multimedia presentations, and documentary films, integrated with active learning strategies such as viewing guides, group discussions, and creative project assignments. This implementation is supported by adequate technological infrastructure, continuously developed teacher competencies, and ongoing evaluation. Student learning outcomes demonstrate documented improvements across three domains: cognitive aspects, evidenced by increased average scores and mastery percentages; affective aspects, marked by enhanced motivation and positive attitude changes; and psychomotor aspects, reflected in the development of digital literacy, social skills, and noble character formation. This research employs a qualitative approach, supported by quantitative data, to explore these improvements. The novelty of this study lies in its contextual, process-oriented exploration within a madrasah ibtidaiyah setting in Central Sulawesi — a region underrepresented in the existing literature, which experimental-quantitative designs have dominated. This research contributes to achieving SDG 4 by documenting evidence of learning technology's effectiveness in improving the quality of Islamic religious education and preparing generations who are intellectually and spiritually intelligent, as well as competent in facing digital-era challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the strategies of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers in instilling disciplined Dhuha prayer habits among students at SD Islam Terpadu Qurrata A'yun Tinggede, and to identify contextual factors contributing to the program's effectiveness. The study employs a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design, selected because the focus is on understanding a unique phenomenon within a single school context in depth rather than for comparative generalization. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, three IRE teachers, and three students, participant observation during Dhuha prayer implementation, and documentation, including prayer practice videos and daily worship monitoring sheets, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana interactive model with source triangulation and member checking to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that teachers implement holistic-adaptive strategies integrating structural habituation, auditory-repetitive collective learning, effective collaboration with parents using accessible instruments, non-punitive educational consequences, and persuasive mentoring that transforms infrastructure limitations into intensive supervision opportunities and supports meaningful behavioral change. Contextual factors contributing to the program include a school culture that emphasizes religious character as institutional identity, trust-based teacher-student interaction dynamics, spontaneous peer learning mechanisms, and the integration of all program elements, producing tangible impacts on students' spiritual tranquility and academic focus. These findings contribute to achieving SDG Goal 4 by demonstrating that effective religious character education does not require elaborate infrastructure but rather pedagogical innovation by teachers and a collaborative ecosystem that develops disciplined and responsible generations.

Abstract

Pesantren as traditional Islamic educational institutions face challenges in building an institutional identity in the era of globalisation, especially for newer pesantren that lack social legitimacy, a track record, and a strong organisational culture. This situation demands strategic and adaptive leadership from principals in managing institutional transformation and building public trust. This study aims to analyse the principal's strategies and leadership styles in building the identity of the Muharrikun Najaah Islamic Boarding School in Klaten Regency and identify the obstacles encountered. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The study draws primary data from the principal and senior teachers and secondary data from internal institutional documents. It collects data through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and non-participant observation. The researchers conducted the data analysis using thematic and inductive approaches and validated the findings through triangulation of sources and methods. The results indicate that identity construction is carried out multidimensionally through four main strategies: structural through the integration of formal education (MTs and MA) for legitimacy; practice-based through flagship programs such as PMPT (persiapan masuk perguruan tinggi) and development of student talents (lingkaran sore); humanistic through teacher empowerment within a distributed leadership framework; and cultural through the internalisation of Islamic values, discipline, and character. The leadership style applied is semi-authoritative, with a top-down approach that maintains limited participation and emphasises role modelling. Barriers include resistance to change, change fatigue, human resource dynamics, the complexity of system integration, and external pressures. These findings have implications for strengthening adaptive leadership in building a sustainable Islamic boarding school identity.
