Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Curriculum requires a paradigm shift in learning evaluation from outcome-oriented assessments to process-based assessments and learning outcomes. In the subject of Islamic Religious Education (PAI), this demand presents its own challenges because the character of PAI not only emphasizes cognitive aspects, but also the formation of attitudes, morals, and spirituality of students. This study aims to examine the problems and strategies of PAI teachers in evaluating the learning of the Independent Curriculum at SMPN 11 Muaro Jambi. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with the subjects of PAI teachers in grades VII, VIII, and IX. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, learning observations, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The results of the study show that the problems of PAI evaluation are structural and conceptual, including the limitations of official training in the evaluation of the Independent Curriculum, the reduction of PAI learning hours which has an impact on the continuity of assessment, and the difficulty of formalizing attitude and spiritual assessments into accountable evaluation documentation. Responding to these conditions, teachers develop adaptive strategies in the form of continuous observation of attitudes, the use of religious activities as formative assessments, adaptation of teaching tools, and capacity building through independent learning and informal collaboration. This research emphasizes that the evaluation of PAI in the Independent Curriculum is a pedagogical negotiation practice between the demands of curriculum accountability and the character of PAI as value education.

Abstract

Objective: This study analyzes the pedagogical strategies of Akidah Akhlak teachers in integrating SDGs-based character education at Al-Jauharen Islamic Boarding School, Jambi City, focusing on discipline, honesty, and responsibility. Theoretical framework: The research is grounded in character education theory, value internalization, and contextual pedagogy, aligned with SDGs principles that emphasize inclusive, equitable, and value-oriented education. Literature review: Previous studies indicate that Akidah Akhlak learning remains largely cognitive and memorization-oriented, limiting effective character internalization, while empirical studies on teacher strategies in pesantren contexts and their linkage to SDGs are still limited. Method: This study employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach involving teachers, school leaders, and students, using interviews, observations, and documentation, analyzed through the Miles and Huberman model with triangulation. Results: Findings reveal that SDGs-oriented character integration is implemented through structured planning, teacher exemplification, value habituation, and reflective discussions rooted in students’ experiences and strengthened by pesantren culture; however, it remains insufficiently systematic, particularly in evaluation, and is constrained by time and students’ psychological factors. Implications: The study highlights the need for more reflective, contextual, and sustainable pedagogical strategies aligned with SDGs, ensuring that character values are internalized beyond normative understanding into real student behavior. Novelty: This research offers an empirical contribution by specifically examining SDGs-based character education integration strategies in Akidah Akhlak learning within a pesantren-based madrasah context, which remains underexplored.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the implementation of school religious activities, students’ apathy toward participation, and Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher strategies in strengthening sustainable character development aligned with SDGs principles, particularly SDG 4.7. Theoretical framework: This research applies the theoretical framework of character education, religious school culture, and humanistic pedagogy within Islamic education. Previous studies indicate that religious activities contribute significantly to moral development, although student participation is often influenced by motivation, family background, peer interaction, and digital lifestyles associated with contemporary SDGs educational challenges. Literature review: The literature review shows that religious activities in schools can shape students' character, but student involvement often varies and is influenced by motivational factors, family, social environment, and digital  culture. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive case study approach using interviews, observations, and documentation analyzed through the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model. Results: The findings reveal that religious activities were implemented systematically through routine habituation, structured programs, and spontaneous spiritual practices. Nevertheless, several students demonstrated apathetic attitudes caused by internal psychological conditions and external social influences. PAI teachers addressed these conditions through persuasive communication, relational guidance, exemplary behavior, and collaborative educational approaches. Implications: The study implies that strengthening contextual, humanistic, and participatory Islamic education management is essential for sustainable student character formation and achievement of SDGs-oriented educational transformation. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its integrative analysis connecting school religious culture, student apathy, teacher intervention strategies, and sustainable character education within the broader framework of SDGs implementation in education sectors.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Among value-based peer counseling in reducing bullying, as well as identifying supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation in the school environment. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework refers to the educational concept of Among Ki Hadjar Dewantara (Ing Ngarso Sung Tulodho, Ing Madyo Mangun Karso, Tut Wuri Handayani), which is combined with the peer counseling approach and social interaction theory. Literature review: The literature emphasizes the effectiveness of peer counseling in reducing bullying and the importance of integrating local wisdom values in building students' empathy, character, and social relations. Methods: Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, through interviews, participatory observations, documentation, and questionnaires, as well as thematic data analysis. Results: The results of the study showed a significant decrease in verbal and relational bullying, an increase in students' empathy and social awareness, a strengthening of the role of peer counselors as agents of change, the internalization of Among values in school culture, structural and cultural support as success factors, and the existence of personal and technical constraints that affect the sustainability of the program. Implications: Contribute to the development of a humanistic, contextual, and sustainable counseling model based on local wisdom. Novelty: Lies in the integration of Among values in peer counseling as an innovative approach that not only suppresses bullying but also forms a positive school culture.

Abstract

Objective:  Assess the limitations of the liberal and theological multicultural education paradigm and formulate an alternative framework that is able to bridge the two in the context of a majority Muslim society such as Indonesia. Theoretical framework: Integrating critical multicultural education with Religious Studies as a non-confessional, phenomenological, and dialogical approach that serves as a bridge between secular relativism and theological absolutism. Literature review: Based on an interdisciplinary literature review in multicultural education, religious education, and educational philosophy that highlights criticism of liberal and theological paradigms. Method: Using a qualitative approach with philosophical and conceptual design through literature studies and expert interviews to strengthen theoretical analysis. Results: The liberal paradigm tends to marginalize religion to the private sphere, while the theological paradigm is exclusive and less dialogical. Alternatively, Religious Multicultural Education is proposed as a middle ground approach that emphasizes epistemic plurality and interreligious dialogue. Implications: Contribute to the development of more inclusive education policies and curricula in a religiously plural society that faces tensions between secular and confessional models. Novelty: It lies in the synthesis between multicultural education and Religious Studies that produces a new model that is contextual, dialogical, and transcends the existing paradigm dichotomy.

Abstract

Objective: Analyze a holistic approach to internalizing character values in IRE students and formulate a madrass-based integrative model that supports SDG 4. Focus on conceptualization, implementation, the role of teachers, and their impact on student behavior. Theoretical framework: Based on Islamic character education theory, a holistic approach, and a continuous education paradigm. Internalization of values is understood as a pedagogical, cultural, and spiritual process that is integrated in the madrasah ecosystem. Literature review:  The literature emphasizes the importance of integrating curriculum, teacher examples, and school culture in character education. The holistic approach is considered effective in building the affective and spiritual dimensions of students in a sustainable manner. Methods: Using a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed with Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive models and triangulation. Results: A holistic approach is implemented through the integration of the IRE curriculum, teacher example, religious habituation, strengthening madrasah culture, and social activities that form a sustainable moral ecosystem. IRE teachers act as exemplary agents as well as spiritual companions. This approach has a significant impact on improving students' discipline, religiosity, responsibility, and social concern. Implications: To make a practical contribution to the sustainable development of madrasah character education. Theoretically, it strengthens the integration of Islamic education and the global quality education agenda. Novelty: Offers an integrative conceptual model that systematically blends pedagogic, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. This model enriches the development of madrass-based character education within the framework of sustainability.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the integration of payment gateways, green financing, and sustainability innovation in improving MSME performance, while exploring their contribution to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to inclusive economic growth and sustainable business practices. Theoretical framework: This research is grounded in the perspective of sustainable development and digital financial innovation, which views digital payment systems, environmentally responsible financing, and sustainability-driven innovation as key elements in enhancing MSME competitiveness and resilience. This framework is linked to the SDGs agenda, particularly goals related to decent work and economic growth, responsible consumption and production, and partnerships for sustainable development. Literature review: Previous studies have highlighted the important role of digital financial technology in improving transaction efficiency and financial inclusion for MSMEs. Other studies emphasize the significance of green financing in supporting environmentally responsible business activities, as well as the role of sustainability innovation in strengthening business competitiveness and long-term resilience in the global economy. Method: This study employs a quantitative research approach using survey data collected from MSME owners and managers. The analysis focuses on examining the relationships between payment gateway adoption, green financing access, sustainability innovation, and MSME performance through statistical modeling techniques to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the proposed research model. Results: The findings indicate that payment gateway adoption, green financing, and sustainability innovation positively influence MSME performance. Digital payment systems improve transaction efficiency and market accessibility, green financing supports environmentally sustainable business investments, and sustainability innovation enhances product competitiveness and long-term business sustainability. These elements collectively contribute to strengthening MSME development in line with the SDGs agenda. Therefore, integrating digital financial technology, green financing, and sustainability innovation within an Islamic economic framework may provide a holistic approach to improving MSME performance. Implications: This research highlights the importance of integrating digital financial technology, sustainable financing, and innovation in MSME development strategies. The findings also support policy initiatives aimed at improving digital infrastructure, expanding access to green financing, and promoting sustainability-oriented business practices to strengthen MSME competitiveness while supporting the SDGs agenda. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of payment gateways, green financing, and sustainability innovation within a comprehensive analytical framework to examine their combined impact on MSME performance while linking MSME development with the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract

Objective: This study examined adults’ attitudes toward body safety education and sexual harassment awareness as two separate concepts in early childhood on CSA prevention, and the provision of these concepts through stories that align with Islamic principles and contribute to SDGs 4, 5, and 16. Theoretical framework:  This study is grounded in four levels of Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory by exploring the five dimensions that contribute to CSA prevention. Literature review: Most global stories on CSA prevention lack cultural adaptation for Eastern and Islamic communities. This study addresses the gap by focusing on integrating Islamic morals. Methods: This study is a mixed-methods descriptive cross-sectional study. In November 2025, data were collected online (N = 338) in Egypt, Indonesia and other nations utilising a 28-item structured questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale and an optional open-ended question. Quantitative data were analysed using Jamovi and JASP Software for descriptive and inferential statistics, and qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: The findings reveal that 87% (N = 294) of participants agree and strongly agree with the six factors that enhance the prevention of CSA. Qualitative data assessed on shared responsibility,18.40%, and integration of Islamic morals, 6.30%. Implications:  This study highlights the capability of future story-based interventions to align with the Islamic perspective and global frameworks like SDGs to enhance child protection. Novelty: This study highlights the operationalisation of Bronfenbrenner’s theory to design Islamic stories as a CSA prevention in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
