Abstract

General Background: Mosques serve not only as places of worship but also hold potential as educational hubs, particularly in areas with high religious learning needs. Specific Background: Kampung Muallaf, home to many new converts, reflects a critical need for structured Islamic education. Knowledge Gap: Despite the significance of mosques in religious education, limited studies explore their pedagogical roles in muallaf communities. Aims: This study aims to investigate the mosque’s role as a center for Islamic education, identify existing educational activities, and assess the supporting and inhibiting factors in Kampung Muallaf. Results: Findings reveal that the mosque functions as a hub for Qur’anic learning, da’wah, religious training, and social cohesion. Key educational activities include MDTA programs, wiridan, recitations, and convert coaching. Support is driven by active da’wah teams, while lack of parental encouragement hinders youth participation. Novelty: The study highlights a holistic educational model tailored for converts, integrating worship, learning, and community support. Implications: These insights inform mosque-based educational strategies and policymaking to better serve marginalized religious communities. Highlights: Highlights the mosque’s role beyond worship—as an Islamic education hub. Identifies structured programs for converts and local community engagement. Reveals key support and barriers in sustaining religious learning activities. Keywords: Mosque Education, Kampung Muallaf, Islamic Learning, Religious Practice, Community Da’wah

Abstract

General background: Student worship discipline is shaped not merely by cognitive understanding of fiqh but significantly by the teacher's personal example and moral integrity. Specific background: Despite the critical role of teacher personality in Islamic education, empirical studies exploring how personality competence affects students' worship behavior remain limited. Knowledge gap: Little is known about the specific personality traits and contextual factors that enable fiqh teachers to effectively cultivate worship discipline in students. Aims: This study investigates the personality competence of fiqh teachers in shaping student worship discipline at MTs GUPPI Pangkatan. Results: Using a qualitative descriptive approach and triangulated data from interviews, documents, and literature, the findings reveal that effective fiqh teachers exhibit stable, mature, wise, and morally exemplary personalities, coupled with strong religious commitment and authority. Novelty: The study identifies internal (teacher personality and commitment) and external (curriculum, method, environment, parental and principal support) factors that support or inhibit success, highlighting the interplay between personal competence and institutional context. Implications: These findings suggest that enhancing teacher personality competence should be prioritized in teacher training programs to foster disciplined religious practices among students. Highlights: Teacher personality directly influences students' worship discipline. Internal and external factors shape teaching effectiveness. Moral integrity is essential for religious education success. Keywords: Personality Competence, Fiqh Teacher, Worship Discipline, Islamic Education, Student Behavior

Abstract

General Background: Writing is a fundamental component of English language learning, yet many junior high school students struggle to organize ideas and apply appropriate linguistic structures. Specific Background: The Genre-Based Approach offers a structured teaching cycle that supports students in understanding text types, purposes, and language features, particularly in narrative writing. Knowledge Gap: Although prior studies report improvements in writing performance, limited attention has been given to how teachers address practical classroom challenges during implementation. Aims: This study explores how an English teacher implemented the Genre-Based Approach in teaching narrative texts, identifies the challenges encountered, and examines the strategies used to address them. Results: Using qualitative methods through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, the study found that the approach was applied systematically through four stages: building knowledge, modelling, joint construction, and independent construction. Major obstacles included low student learning interest and limited English vocabulary, which hindered comprehension and participation. The teacher addressed these issues using adaptive strategies such as digital media, educational games, mixed-language instruction, collaborative group work, and motivational feedback. Novelty: The research provides an in-depth classroom-level analysis of adaptive teaching practices that support Genre-Based pedagogy under real constraints. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of teacher flexibility, scaffolding, and context-responsive strategies to sustain student engagement and support writing development in EFL classrooms. Highlights: Instruction followed a sequential teaching cycle from knowledge building to independent work. Learners’ low interest and restricted vocabulary emerged as primary classroom barriers. Adaptive practices involving media, collaboration, and feedback supported student participation.

Abstract

General Background: In elementary science education, communication skills—such as expressing ideas, discussing, and reasoning based on evidence—are crucial for fostering 21st-century competencies. However, learning in many schools remains dominated by conventional teacher-centered methods, limiting student engagement and understanding of abstract concepts like ecosystems. Specific Background: Previous research on digital media in science learning has focused largely on cognitive gains, with less emphasis on integrating conceptual mastery with communication skill development. Knowledge Gap: Few studies have developed ecosystem learning media for elementary students that are simultaneously valid, practical, and effective in enhancing scientific communication. Aims: This study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate an instructional ecosystem video for fifth-grade students using the 4D model (define, design, develop, disseminate). Results: Validation showed high feasibility (92% media, 88% material), practicality (90.09%), and effectiveness, with learning outcomes increasing from 31.25 to 81.5 (n-gain = 0.73, high category). The media improved both problem-solving and communication skills through interactive, discussion-oriented activities. Novelty: The developed video integrates ecosystem concepts with structured communication training, tailored to the cognitive and engagement needs of elementary learners. Implications: This innovation offers a technology-based alternative resource supporting the Merdeka Curriculum’s vision, with potential for broader implementation through LMS integration and teacher training.Highlight : Educational videos facilitate understanding of ecosystem concepts.

Abstract

General Background Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component of English as a Foreign Language learning and supports the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, particularly in secondary education contexts. Specific Background Alongside the growth of digital learning technologies, mobile applications such as Duolingo have been increasingly integrated into English Language Teaching due to their accessibility, gamification features, and interactive learning design.

Abstract

Background (General): Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) are central institutions in Indonesia’s educational landscape, known not only for religious teaching but also for character development. Background (Specific): Modern pesantren integrate general and religious education with structured mentoring to cultivate leadership among students (santri). Knowledge Gap: Previous studies often examined isolated aspects of leadership training, such as organizational roles or public speaking, but little is known about how pesantren holistically combine education, discipline, and role modeling to form leadership character. Aim: This study investigates the role of Pondok Pesantren Modern Darul Arafah Raya in shaping santri leadership character, along with its supporting and inhibiting factors. Results: Using a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation, findings reveal that leadership formation occurs through student organizations, ustaz role models, disciplined boarding routines, and structured public speaking training. Despite initial challenges—such as lack of confidence, time management, and external influences—progressive mentoring significantly improved students’ responsibility, communication, and confidence. Novelty: Unlike prior research, this study demonstrates how pesantren’s integrated system—spiritual, academic, and organizational—collectively fosters leadership qualities. Implications: The findings affirm that modern pesantren are strategic educational models for producing leaders who are intellectually competent, morally upright, and socially responsible, ready to face contemporary challenges.Highlight : Modern Islamic boarding schools shape the leadership of students through organization, exemplary behavior, and discipline. Supporting factors include gradual guidance, the role of teachers, and a conducive environment. Obstacles arise from the students' backgrounds, boredom, time management, and outside influences. Keywords : Islamic boarding schools, character, leadership, students, education
