Abstract

The study explores the concept of human creation within the framework of Islamic theology and education and its implications for achieving maqasid al-shariah. Using a qualitative approach, this research combines literature analysis and field data through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis in Islamic senior high schools in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Primary sources such as the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as classical and contemporary scholarly works, are examined to understand the spiritual, moral, and social dimensions of human creation. The findings show that the concept of human as ahsani taqwim and khalifah on earth not only confirms human dignity and the sanctity of life, but also supports the five main objectives of maqasid al-shariah: protection of religion (hifz al-din), life (hifz al-nafs), intellect (hifz al-‘aql), progeny (hifz al-nasl), and wealth (hifz al-mal). The integration of theological insights into Islamic education through discussion-based learning, social projects, and guided personal reflection effectively helps students internalize Islamic values, enhance spiritual awareness, and build strong moral character. This concept is also relevant to contemporary issues—such as bioethics, environmental degradation, and moral decline—by offering a comprehensive Islamic ethical framework. The study recommends curriculum development that integrates theological values, community engagement through collaborative educational programs, and policy formulation that harmonizes scientific advancement with Islamic principles, thereby strengthening maqasid-based Islamic education in facing global challenges.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between emotional intelligence and students’ mathematical critical thinking using a quantitative ex-post facto design. The sample consisted of 29 Grade XI Science students from SMA Negeri 1 Binjai District, Langkat Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using two instruments: a mathematical critical thinking test and an emotional intelligence questionnaire. The Spearman correlation test indicated a coefficient of -0.127 with a significance value of 0.512, exceeding the 0.05 threshold. These results demonstrate that emotional intelligence does not have a significant correlation with mathematical critical thinking skills. Contrary to many previous studies that reported a positive association between emotional intelligence and higher-order cognitive abilities, this research presents a divergent finding. The lack of association suggests that emotional intelligence may not directly contribute to critical thinking in mathematical problem-solving, particularly within instructional environments that rely heavily on teacher-centered approaches. This outcome implies that cognitive enhancement in mathematics may depend more on external academic stimuli than on students’ affective attributes. Future research is recommended to examine potential mediating variables, such as academic motivation, classroom engagement, peer interaction, or instructional design. Understanding these indirect pathways may provide a more comprehensive explanation of how emotional intelligence interacts with cognitive performance.

Abstract

This analysis examines the contemporary state and future trajectory of school-based management (SBM) in Indonesian basic education, evaluating its implementation two decades after national decentralization reforms. Drawing on policy documents, empirical studies, and institutional data, this paper analyzes how SBM has transformed governance structures in elementary and junior secondary schools across Indonesia's diverse educational landscape. The analysis reveals a complex implementation pattern characterized by significant regional disparities: urban schools demonstrate greater capacity in exercising managerial autonomy, while rural and remote schools struggle with limited resources and inadequate leadership training. Current situations indicate that while legislative frameworks grant schools substantial authority over budgeting, personnel, and instructional decisions, practical implementation is constrained by several factors including ambiguous delegation of authority, insufficient school committee functionality, persistent bureaucratic oversight, and weak accountability mechanisms. However, promising developments emerge in schools that have successfully integrated local cultural content, established productive community partnerships, and utilized participatory planning processes. Prospects for strengthening SBM depend on addressing fundamental capacity gaps through comprehensive professional development for principals, establishing transparent performance indicators, empowering school committees. This analysis concludes that realizing SBM's transformative potential requires systemic reforms that align policy intentions with implementation realities, strengthen grassroots capabilities, and balance school autonomy with national quality assurance in Indonesia's heterogeneous educational context.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in sport education has marked a transformative era in how coaching, learning, and performance development are conceptualized. This paper critically examines current research and emerging trends in AI-driven coaching, focusing on its pedagogical potential, technological applications, and challenges within modern sport education. Drawing from peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025, the analysis synthesizes studies across domains such as biomechanics, learning analytics, machine learning, and educational technology. The findings reveal that AI-based coaching systems—encompassing motion capture analysis, performance prediction algorithms, and virtual training assistants—significantly enhance feedback precision, athlete engagement, and individualized learning experiences. Moreover, AI facilitates adaptive pedagogy, enabling educators to tailor instructional strategies based on learners’ real-time performance data. However, the literature also highlights substantial barriers, including limited educator readiness, ethical concerns about data security, and disparities in access to advanced technologies. Theoretical frameworks such as constructivism and self-determination theory are frequently employed to interpret how AI-mediated environments support active learning, motivation, and self-regulation in sport settings. Despite promising outcomes, gaps remain in empirical validation and in understanding the long-term educational impact of AI integration. This analysis concludes that the shift from traditional field-based coaching to cloud-enabled, AI-driven environments represents a paradigm shift in sport education. By synthesizing the current evidence base, this paper provides a foundation for future research exploring sustainable models for AI adoption in sport education.

Abstract

This analysis investigates how students in basic education comprehend biological concepts, examining cognitive processes and pedagogical factors shaping science literacy development. Drawing on contemporary research, this study analyzes mechanisms through which elementary and junior secondary students construct understanding of fundamental biological principles including cellular processes, heredity, ecosystems, and human physiology. The analysis reveals that students' comprehension operates through complex interactions between prior knowledge, developmental readiness, and instructional experiences. Research demonstrates that learners frequently maintain persistent misconceptions regarding biological phenomena, rooted in intuitive reasoning and everyday observations conflicting with scientific explanations. These alternative conceptions prove resistant to traditional instruction, necessitating conceptual change pedagogies explicitly addressing cognitive conflicts. The study identifies inquiry-based learning, hands-on experimentation, and culturally responsive instruction as particularly effective for facilitating robust understanding. Furthermore, authentic science literacy encompasses not merely factual knowledge but critical thinking competencies and abilities to apply biological concepts in analyzing real-world issues. Challenges emerge in linguistically diverse contexts where students navigate science instruction in second languages while reconciling scientific concepts with indigenous knowledge systems. This analysis concludes that enhancing biological concept comprehension requires pedagogical innovations systematically addressing misconceptions, leveraging experiential knowledge, integrating culturally relevant contexts, and cultivating higher-order cognitive capabilities essential for scientifically literate citizenship.

Abstract

This paper examines the implementation and outcomes of educational decentralization in Indonesia's basic education sector, analyzing the transfer of authority from central government to regional and local levels following the 1999 decentralization reforms. Through a comprehensive review of policy frameworks, implementation challenges, and empirical evidence from various districts, the study evaluates how decentralization has affected educational access, quality, and equity across Indonesia's diverse regions. The analysis reveals mixed results: while decentralization has improved local responsiveness and community participation in some areas, significant disparities persist between well-resourced urban districts and under-resourced rural regions. Key challenges identified include uneven fiscal capacity among local governments, inconsistent implementation of national standards, and varying levels of administrative capability at district levels. The paper highlights successful practices from high-performing districts, including innovative school-based management models, effective community engagement strategies, and efficient resource allocation mechanisms. Drawing from these lessons, the study proposes policy recommendations for strengthening the decentralized education system, including enhanced capacity-building programs for local education offices, improved inter-governmental coordination mechanisms, and more equitable resource distribution formulas. The findings suggest that while decentralization holds promise for contextualizing education to local needs, sustained national support and strategic oversight remain essential to ensure quality and equity. This analysis contributes to ongoing debates about balancing local autonomy with national standards in developing countries' education systems and offers insights for refining Indonesia's decentralized education governance moving forward.
