Academic procrastination has been considered one of the most prevalent issues hampering students’ academic achievement. It is the intentional postponement of academics and activities, despite the procrastinator’s awareness that this is detrimental to the learning process. To delve into this particular issue, the researchers examined the causes of academic procrastination and the strategies provided by teachers to deal with students’ academic procrastination. A qualitative approach was utilized to investigate the issue by using an interview data collection technique. The investigation was conducted at Senior High School 7 Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Three teachers and 5 students were involved in this qualitative research. Findings indicated that two factors caused students’ procrastination, internal and external factors, are poor time management, students’ health condition, social media addiction, and task aversiveness. Teachers implement several strategies to deal with these conditions, including giving motivation, setting up a better schedule or time management, and collaboration between teachers and parents

Reflective practice has become more and more important in the professional development of lecturers especially in Islamic education. This study aims to look into how Islamic education lecturers engage with reflective practices and how these practices contribute to their professional expertise and spiritual growth. Using mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from 100 Islamic education students with qualitative insights from lecturers. The findings show that reflective practices such as journaling, self-assessment and peer discussion are widely seen as useful tools to improve teaching effectiveness. However, practical challenges such as heavy workloads and lack of institutional support impede the implementation of these practices. The study also highlights the duality of reflection in Islamic education context where professional growth is intertwined with spiritual values. Practices rooted in ilm (knowledge) and tazkiyah (self-purification) not only enhance pedagogical skills but also deepen sense of purpose in teaching. To address these challenges, the study suggests the Holistic Reflective Integration Model (HRIM). This framework encompasses professional, ethical and spiritual dimensions of reflective practice. HRIM stresses the need for strong institutional support to make reflective practices effective and sustainable. By using this model, Islamic education institutions can create an environment that fosters both professional and spiritual growth of lecturers.

This research investigates the integration of Praat technology with makhārij al-ḥurūf to enhance English pronunciation skills among students of Islamic education. The primary objective is to assist students in differentiating between long and short vowels in English through acoustic analysis using Praat, with a particular focus on duration and formant visualization. By addressing nuanced phonemic distinctions, such as the contrasts between "sheep" and "ship," the study also explores students' perceptions and challenges associated with adopting digital pronunciation techniques, including the application of Praat and digitalized makhārij al-ḥurūf. The study employed a quasi-experimental design in which one group was taught via traditional methods (control group) and the other experimental group was taught using methods that integrated Praat into instruction (experimental group). Statistical analysis indicated substantial differences between the two groups, the experimental one showed similar trends for increased scores in accuracy (80%), fluency (85%), and clarity (75%); all higher than the control group. The Likert-scale survey further indicated that experimental students perceived greater comfort and motivation when learning pronunciation with technological means. The proposed Digital-Articulatory Alignment (DAA) theory is a sequel to the traditional articulatory knowledge of Makhārij al ḥurūf but conveyed through the modern understanding of acoustic toolkits such as that of Praat. Through this novel framework, we bridged traditional practices with technology to deliver pronunciation instruction in a more engaging and impactful manner. Specifically, the results cannot be generalised to non-Islamic educational or cultural environments. Future research might adapt this method to wider locations, investigate the creation of AI-based solutions that combine articulatory and acoustic analysis, and study the residual effects on pronunciation abilities and motivation for learning. This is a new perspective on combining the traditional pronunciation teaching context in Islamic education with technology

This study examines the perceptions of students regarding the use of ChatGPT to enhance their homework performance and explores strategies for its optimal application. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, particularly ChatGPT, has provided students with tools to overcome common academic challenges, such as difficulty understanding instructions and managing time effectively. Despite its potential, the ethical and practical implications of its usage remain underexplored. The study addresses two key questions: (1) What are students' perceptions of using ChatGPT for completing their homework? (2) How does the use of ChatGPT affect students' homework performance? A qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing semi-structured interviews with eight students from Ar-Raniry State Islamic University who had experience using ChatGPT for academic purposes. Students perceive ChatGPT as a valuable tool for generating ideas, improving writing quality, and breaking down complex concepts into simpler terms. It enhances efficiency, allowing faster task completion and better comprehension of study materials. However, concerns about the reliability of responses and overreliance on AI, which could undermine critical thinking and creativity, were raised. ChatGPT contributes positively to academic performance when used as a supplementary tool rather than a replacement for independent learning. Students emphasize the importance of ethical usage to maintain academic integrity and ensure meaningful learning. These findings suggest that ChatGPT has the potential to support education when integrated responsibly, offering valuable insights for educators and institutions seeking to optimize AI tools in academic contexts

This study analyzes the role of non-verbal communication in instructors’ classroom demonstrations, focusing on how gestures, facial expressions, body movement, eye contact, and spatial behavior influence students’ understanding and engagement. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research observes several classroom sessions across different disciplines to identify patterns of non-verbal behavior and their pedagogical effects. Findings reveal that instructors who effectively integrate non-verbal cues tend to enhance clarity, motivation, and interaction among students. Conversely, lack of non-verbal awareness may lead to confusion and reduced attentiveness. The study concludes that non-verbal communication serves as a powerful tool in teaching, complementing verbal instruction and reinforcing learning outcomes.

This study investigates the experiences of Indonesian pre-service teachers in implementing Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in Thai EFL classrooms. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with six purposively selected participants. The findings reveal that participants applied TBLT by designing authentic tasks such as role-plays and problem-solving activities, while CLT was implemented through interactive group discussions and communicative games to enhance students’ communicative competence. Challenges encountered included students’ low English proficiency, cultural norms discouraging public speaking, and limited teaching resources. Participants addressed these issues by simplifying instructions, incorporating visual aids, and adapting activities to available resources. The study concludes that TBLT and CLT can be effectively adapted in under-resourced Thai EFL contexts when supported by scaffolding, cultural sensitivity, and context-responsive pedagogy, contributing to the participants’ professional growth in adaptability, intercultural communication, and classroom management
