Abstract

This study aims to describe the challenges and opportunities faced by teachers at MI NU 71 Unggulan Karanganom in adapting digital-based learning for Generation Alpha. This generation is known as digital natives with a visual, fast, and interactive learning style, which requires teachers to innovate in their teaching methods. The research employs a qualitative case study approach using observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through triangulation, member checking, audit trail, and peer debriefing. The findings reveal that the main challenges faced by teachers include low digital literacy, limited technological facilities, a digital gap between teachers and students, and minimal technical support. However, opportunities that can be optimized include the use of engaging digital learning media, wide access to learning resources, enhancement of teacher competence through online training, and collaboration within digital communities. The adaptation strategies implemented include teacher collaboration, simple blended learning, gradual adaptation to technology, integration of Islamic values into digital content, and active communication with parents. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for madrasahs and policymakers in formulating teacher digital competence improvement programs that remain aligned with Islamic educational values.

Abstract

The behavior of students that does not yet fully reflect Islamic values indicates the urgency of strengthening character education based on Islamic teachings. In this regard, Islamic Religious Education teachers play a strategic role in shaping discipline and character among students through the internalization of Islamic values both theoretically and practically. This research aims to examine (1) the role of Islamic Education teachers as models and examples in instilling discipline among ninth-grade students at SMP N 1 Jiwan, (2) the role of Islamic Education teachers as motivators in instilling discipline among ninth-grade students at SMP N 1 Jiwan, and (3) the role of Islamic Education teachers as guides in instilling discipline among ninth-grade students at SMP N 1 Jiwan. This study is motivated by the low discipline of students, which is evident from deviant behaviors such as frequent tardiness and lack of politeness. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation from the principal, Islamic Education teachers, educators, and students. Data analysis is conducted through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the role of Islamic Education teachers has a significant impact on shaping student discipline. (1) As a role model, the teacher demonstrates a consistent Islamic attitude through honest, disciplined, and responsible behavior. (2) As a motivator, the teacher provides positive encouragement through enjoyable learning, appreciation, and constructive feedback. (3) As a guide, the teacher provides direction and support in facing disciplinary issues and shapes students' character to prepare them for challenges inside and outside of school.

Abstract

Islamic education during the Prophet Muhammad’s era served as the primary foundation for building a faithful and God-conscious society. This study aims to describe the model of Islamic education implemented in Makkah and Madinah and its relevance in the modern era. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis applied to various relevant documents. The findings reveal a clear distinction between the two phases of education. In Makkah, education emphasized the strengthening of faith and monotheism (tawhid), aiming to instill the values of divine unity within each Muslim so that they were reflected in daily behavior. Meanwhile, education in Madinah focused more on social and political aspects as a continuation of tawhid-based education, positioning Islamic teachings as the foundation of community life. The model of education in the Prophet’s era holds significant relevance for contemporary Islamic education, particularly in integrating spiritual, moral, and social values to address the challenges of modernity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Naqshbandiyah Khalidiyah order in the transformation of spiritual education to improve the quality of life of the elderly. This research is a qualitative study. Data were obtained through observation and interviews. The findings show that the teachings of the Naqshbandiyah Khalidiyah order, at the normative level, have inspired the elderly to always remember God and practice religious guidance. Furthermore, at the implementation level, this order fosters optimism among its elderly adherents in living their lives. The order offers many conveniences, such as the obligation to perform dhikr at times that can be adjusted to the members’ capabilities. The message of the order to constantly engage in dhikr or remembrance of Allah in all circumstances has enhanced the optimism of its followers in facing life.

Abstract

The advancement of information technology in the digital era has had a significant impact on education, particularly in technology-based learning practices. Innovation in learning media has become essential to prevent monotonous learning processes caused by the dominance of traditional methods. In the context of Informatics learning, such monotony has resulted in low student creativity, with learners tending to produce uniform presentations. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of senior high schools with computer access increased from 36.49% in 2021 to 39.38% in 2022; however, this access has not yet been optimally utilized to foster student creativity. This study employed a qualitative approach using Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, involving grade XI students of SMA Negeri 2 Situbondo with a focus on the use of Slidesgo as a learning medium. The findings indicate that integrating Slidesgo successfully transformed conventional learning patterns into more creative, interactive, and collaborative practices. Student creativity improved across four main indicators fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration as reflected in their willingness to modify templates, combine visual elements, and organize materials in a more structured manner. In addition, student motivation, self-confidence, and active engagement also developed, aligning with the needs of Generation Z and the demands of 21st-century digital literacy. Despite challenges such as limited internet connectivity and restricted access to premium templates, this research affirms that Slidesgo is effective as an innovative learning medium that supports the enhancement of students’ creative competencies. The novelty of this study lies in positioning Slidesgo not merely as a template provider, but as a pedagogical instrument aligned with the characteristics of Generation Z, an aspect rarely addressed in previous research.

Abstract

Upaya penting ini dalam aktualisasinya tentu harus memperhatikan banyak aspek termasuk perangkat pembelajaran yang digunakan. Penting untuk dipahami bahwa guna mewujudkan konsep pendidikan yang inovatif tersebut perlu diperhatikan pula penggunaan bahan ajar yang tepat dan fleksibel. Bahan ajar yang dimaksud dalam hal ini adalah adanya modul ajar yang dapat membantu setiap tenaga pendidik mengkontekstualisasikan materi yang diberikan pada siswa. Manfaat dari modul sendiri sebenarnya sangat fundamental di mana modul membuka peluang bagi siswa untuk dapat menyesuaikan kebutuhan belajar sesuai kemampuan mereka, mengkonsepsikan gaya belajar dan menciptakan model belajar yang menarik. Modul tersebut juga membantu tenaga pendidik dalam mengkonsepsikan proses pembelajaran yang efektif yang mampu mengembangkan karakter juga potensi siswa yang tidak hanya cerdas tetapi juga mandiri, terampil dan berbudi luhur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan analisis tentang definisi modul pembelajaran, prinsip dasar yang melandasinya serta tahapan pengembangan dan penerapan modul pembelajaran di kelas dan tantangannya. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus, hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa modul memiliki urgensi yang penting dalam proses belajar mengajar di SMK Arbai Qohhar Desa Jambangan Kecamatan Paron Kabupaten Ngawi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa modul pembelajaran memiliki peran penting dalam menciptakan proses belajar yang terstruktur, mandiri, dan efektif. Penerapannya meningkatkan keaktifan dan kreativitas siswa serta mempermudah guru dalam menyampaikan materi. Meskipun terdapat tantangan seperti kompetensi guru dan kemampuan siswa yang beragam, modul tetap menjadi alat strategis untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of a deep learning approach in Indonesian Language learning in Grade XI at SMA Muhammadiyah Lamahala Jaya, East Flores Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving the Indonesian Language teacher and Grade XI students. Data were analyzed through data reduction and triangulation to identify the implementation process, learning strategies, and challenges encountered in applying deep learning. The findings show that the implementation of the three pillars of deep learning, namely meaningful learning, mindful learning, and joyful learning, encouraged a more active, reflective, contextual, and student-centered learning process. Meaningful learning was implemented by connecting learning materials with students’ experiences and environment. Mindful learning was developed through reflection, analysis, and awareness of the learning process. Joyful learning was realized through discussions, collaborative activities, writing activities, and learning experiences that created a positive classroom atmosphere. These strategies provided opportunities for students to understand texts, develop ideas, think critically, and actively participate in the learning process. The implementation of deep learning still faced challenges related to limited technological infrastructure, teacher competence, and curriculum flexibility. The study indicates that deep learning can be adapted to students’ characteristics, Indonesian Language learning materials, and the available resources of the school. Strengthening teacher competence, providing appropriate learning facilities, and institutional policy support are needed to sustain its implementation.

Abstract

Krisis ekologis yang semakin meningkat pada era modern tidak hanya menunjukkan kerusakan fisik lingkungan, tetapi juga mencerminkan krisis moral dan spiritual dalam cara manusia memandang relasi antara dirinya, alam, dan Tuhan. Fenomena seperti perubahan iklim, pencemaran lingkungan, eksploitasi sumber daya alam, serta meningkatnya bencana ekologis menunjukkan lemahnya kesadaran etis dan keimanan dalam pengelolaan alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam menghadapi krisis ekologi serta menumbuhkan kesadaran iman terhadap alam sebagai bagian dari tanggung jawab keagamaan manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif melalui analisis terhadap berbagai sumber literatur, meliputi buku, artikel jurnal, dan kajian akademik yang relevan dengan ekoteologi Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Islam menyediakan landasan etika lingkungan yang kuat dan komprehensif melalui konsep tauhid, khalifah, amanah, keseimbangan (mīzān), serta larangan fasād yang menegaskan kewajiban manusia untuk menjaga kelestarian alam. Pendidikan Agama Islam memiliki peran strategis dalam menginternalisasikan nilai-nilai tersebut melalui integrasi materi pembelajaran, pembiasaan akhlak ramah lingkungan, keteladanan guru, serta penguatan spiritualitas peserta didik melalui refleksi terhadap ayat-ayat kauniyah. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa Pendidikan Agama Islam mampu menumbuhkan kesadaran iman ekologis yang komprehensif, mencakup dimensi pengetahuan, kesadaran moral, dan tindakan nyata dalam menjaga lingkungan sebagai bentuk ibadah dan tanggung jawab keimanan. Kajian ini merekomendasikan pengembangan kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam berbasis ekoteologi, penguatan kompetensi guru dalam pendidikan lingkungan, serta penelitian lanjutan yang menelaah implementasi pembelajaran ekologis berbasis keimanan di berbagai jenjang pendidikan.

Abstract

Salaf pesantren are confronted with the challenges of the modern era, which require the integration of traditional religious education and formal schooling in order to remain relevant to contemporary demands. This study aims to describe and analyze the process of learning transformation at Pondok Pesantren Mangunsari Nganjuk from the perspective of Kurt Lewin’s theory of change, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing this process. Employing a qualitative research design with a case study approach, the findings reveal that Pondok Pesantren Mangunsari has successfully transformed from a purely salaf system into a dual-track education model by integrating a formal Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) into its educational structure. This transformation aligns with the three stages of Kurt Lewin’s change theory: unfreezing (the emergence of awareness of the need for change), changing (the implementation of innovation through the establishment of the MTs), and refreezing (the institutionalization of the new system through sustainable policies and the formation of a new learning culture). The main inhibiting factor identified is the issue of leadership succession, while a crucial supporting factor is the successful development of a new, loyal, and innovation-oriented community base through Jam'iyah Istighotsah. The study concludes that pesantren are capable of strategically synthesizing tradition and modernity to respond to contemporary challenges without losing their fundamental identity.
