Abstract

The teaching of fiqh related to funeral management remains predominantly theoretical, resulting in students’ limited practical competence. This study aims to analyze the implementation of a contextual demonstration method in teaching funeral management, along with its challenges and solutions. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved purposively selected teachers and students as informants. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the contextual demonstration method effectively enhances students’ conceptual understanding and practical skills through three phases: pre-demonstration, practice, and feedback. Challenges such as varying student abilities, large class sizes, and limited instructional time were addressed through adaptive strategies, including small group work, video-based learning, modified practice materials, and remedial sessions. This study underscores the critical role of teachers as adaptive facilitators and highlights the importance of integrating contextual demonstration with differentiated instruction and pedagogical innovation as key to effective practice-based fiqh education. However, the study is limited to a single school with a small sample size, limited practice facilities, and short instructional time, thus restricting the generalizability of the findings. The qualitative approach prioritizes contextual understanding over comparative data, and therefore, the method’s effectiveness could not be statistically measured.

Abstract

Schools are expected to provide safe and supportive environments for children’s holistic development, yet gaps persist between Child-Friendly School (CFS) policy and practice in Indonesia, as evidenced by ongoing incidents of school violence. This study examines CFS implementation at a junior high school, while identifying supporting and constraining factors and their impact on the school environment. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and analyzed with Miles and Huberman’s model integrated with Edward III’s policy implementation framework. Findings indicate that clear communication, positive teacher dispositions, sufficient resources, flexible bureaucracy, and strong inter-organizational relations support effective CFS implementation, whereas limited funding, high student–teacher ratios, uneven understanding of CFS principles, and inconsistent parental involvement constrain it. CFS implementation has enhanced school cleanliness, reduced violence and bullying, and increased student participation. The study contributes theoretically by contextualizing Edward III’s model within CFS implementation and practically by providing strategies to strengthen CFS in similar contexts. Limitations include the single-case design and qualitative focus, suggesting the need for broader, mixed-method research in the future.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of gender and class group on the self-esteem of early childhood children. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed. The study was conducted at a kindergarten in Makassar, involving 80 children selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected via structured observation using a Likert-scale instrument validated by three experts. Data analysis was performed using Two-Way ANOVA following normality and homogeneity tests. The results indicated that gender had a significant effect on children’s self-esteem, with boys exhibiting higher self-esteem than girls. In contrast, class group and the interaction between gender and class group showed no significant effects. These findings suggest that internal factors, such as gender, play a more dominant role in shaping early childhood self-esteem than structural factors, such as class grouping, highlighting the importance of gender-sensitive learning approaches to optimally support children’s self-esteem development. The study is limited by its narrow geographic scope and reliance on a single quantitative approach.

Abstract

Orphanages are expected to provide emotional support and foster learning motivation, yet many residents face psychological barriers that undermine their study commitment. This study aims to examine the influence of caregiver involvement on the learning commitment of orphanage students. A quantitative approach was employed by distributing questionnaires to 30 respondents, followed by simple linear regression and t-tests to analyze variable effects. The findings indicate that caregiver involvement was rated as good, while students’ learning commitment was rated as very good. Caregiver involvement had a positive and significant effect on learning commitment. Theoretically, these findings reinforce social support theory and social-cognitive motivation theory, both of which emphasize the role of significant figures in shaping students’ intrinsic motivation. Practically, the study recommends that caregivers enhance consistency in academic monitoring and intensify learning guidance. From a policy perspective, the results may inform orphanage managers and government agencies in designing more systematic academic mentoring programs. The study is limited by the relatively small sample size, reliance on closed-ended questionnaires, and its focus on a single orphanage. Future research with broader samples and data triangulation is recommended to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the determinants of students’ learning commitment.

Abstract

Bullying remains a pressing issue in Islamic elementary school (madrasah ibtidaiyah), institutions that are normatively expected to nurture students’ intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and moral growth. This condition highlights a significant gap between the ideal vision of Islamic education in shaping insan kamil and the practical realities observed in the school environment. This study aims to (1) analyze the forms of bullying occurring at madrasah ibtidaiyah, (2) identify contributing factors, and (3) explore the strategic roles of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in addressing and preventing bullying. Employing a qualitative descriptive case study, data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, as well as document analysis, and validated through triangulation and member checks. Findings indicate that bullying manifests primarily in physical and verbal forms, driven by social dominance dynamics, peer pressure, lack of parental supervision, and the influence of social media. PAI teachers play a pivotal role through value-based education, restorative mediation using dakwah bi al-hikmah, collaboration with families, and religion-based counseling programs. These strategies foster empathy, solidarity, and justice, contributing to a safer and more inclusive school environment. The study implies that anti-bullying programs in Islamic schools must be preventive, holistic, and contextually grounded in religious values, supported by collaboration among teachers, families, and communities. Nevertheless, the study is limited by its single-site focus, reliance on qualitative data, and the absence of direct parental perspectives, which constrain generalizability. Future research should adopt mixed methods and broader institutional comparisons to deepen understanding of bullying prevention in Islamic education.

Abstract

Intellectual intelligence and multiple intelligences have produced very sophisticated artificial intelligence. The progress of the artificial intelligence sector has implications for an educational paradigm that prioritizes cognition so that the ethical-spiritual dimension of education is increasingly eroded. This study aims to analyze the importance of developing heart education (human intelligence) in 21st-century education. The discussions in this literature study are focused on human intelligence, artificial intelligence, and the ethical-spiritual dimension of 21st-century education. Documented data from books, journals, and articles was then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results show that artificial intelligence is developed in a value-free and uncontrolled manner. The impact is an increase in the number of unemployed (job automation), privacy violations, and even weapons automation. This must be controlled from an early age, both through collective awareness of ethical-spiritual values and through the development of humane, dignified, and spiritual artificial intelligence creativity. This research has implications for the importance of developing the ethical-spiritual dimension of 21st-century education, which not only fills the void in values in education but also helps educators, students, and other concerned parties find and know God.

Abstract

The skill of public speaking is crucial for everyone in this era of informational globalization. Therefore, Islamic boarding schools, as cultivators of Muslim generations, must be capable of developing and discovering a public communication skills development system. This research aims to analyze the implementation of khitobah in developing students' public communication skills, which also has implications for improving students' social and religious behavior. The object of this qualitative research is the Al-Qonitat Miftahun Najah Tahunan Jepara Islamic Boarding School. Informants consisted of managers, teachers, and students who were selected purposively. Data was collected using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses descriptive analysis techniques. The research results show that the implementation of the khitobah has fulfilled the elements of management. The khitobah program not only strengthens students' public communication skills but also improves social and religious behavior, such as empathy, social involvement, and strengthening interpersonal relationships. This research has implications for the importance of Islamic boarding schools including subjects or activities that support the development of public communication skills in their curriculum. Apart from that, it is also necessary to educate the public to change perceptions about the role and function of Islamic boarding schools in providing comprehensive education to students, including non-religious aspects such as developing communication skills.

Abstract

The concept of Islamic education began to be oriented towards Western theory, and the study of the Quran as a source of Islamic education began to diminish. This research examines (1) the meaning of the term fitrah in the Quran and (2) its implications for the concept of Islamic education. This literature review study uses tafsir maudui (thematic interpretation) and pedagogical approaches in analyzing the data. The data sources consist of Quran, commentary books, and several relevant books and journals. The results of the research show that fitrah in the Quran is the default factory setting for humans. Fitrah is a divine chip implanted by God in humans so that they are ready to believe in monotheism, purify themselves, and worship God. Humans who carry out their fitrah have three characteristics: accepting and practicing Islam, being sincere, and having a strong faith. Actualization of the concept of human fitrah in Islamic education can be carried out by (1) making fitrah a basic human potential that needs to be developed, (2) making education the main path in developing fitrah, (3) creating a conducive educational environment (helping the development of fitrah), and (4) cultivating a work ethic in which there is harmony and balance between the depth of religious appreciation and activities that lead to increased welfare.

Abstract

Generally, learning Tajweed in Islamic boarding schools still uses the rote method so the Tajweed material seems difficult and boring. This research aims to (1) describe the application of audio-visual learning media in Tajweed learning, (2) describe the increase in students' Tajweed learning outcomes, and (3) test the effect of applying audio-visual learning media on improving students' Tajweed learning outcomes. This study used experimental research with a quasi-experimental design. The object of this research consists of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class. The research object was chosen purposively from two classes at the Salafiyah Marhalah Ulya, Tahfidzul Qur'an As'adiyah Wonomulyo Islamic Boarding School. The experimental class was given treatment using audio-visual media, while the control class continued to use the textbook-based lecturing method. Data was collected using observation, tests, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses a gain test. The research results show that the application of audio-visual media has an effect on increasing students' Tajweed learning outcomes. This research has implications for the importance of innovative and creative efforts by Islamic education teachers in creating audiovisual media for learning the Quran to welcome 21st-century education.

Abstract

The increasing amount of information among the younger generation is not directly correlated with the enhancement of their spiritual awareness. This is due to the fact that science education emphasizes cognition rather than emotion and fails to include Islamic principles into its curriculum. This study seeks to examine the enhancement of students’ spiritual consciousness following their comprehension of human physiology in the Basic Biomedical Sciences course. This qualitative study purposively chose informants from among instructors and students. Data were gathered by observation, interviews, and documentation methods. The gathered data were examined by descriptive analysis methods, and their validity was assessed utilizing triangulation procedures. The study's findings demonstrate that Islam (Qur’anic verses) pertains to the concept of human physiology. Comprehending the subject of human physiology in conjunction with Islamic studies helps enhance students’ spiritual consciousness. This study underscores the significance of assembling a curriculum development committee comprising specialists in education, Islamic studies, and human physiology to create an integrated curriculum. Instructors must also be capable of utilizing the subject of human physiology to demonstrate the Greatness and Omnipotence of Allah swt.
