Abstract

The ability to write scientific articles is an essential competence for university students, yet many still encounter difficulties due to limited research experience and theory-oriented instructional approaches. This study aims to examine the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in the Research and Scientific Publication course and its role in facilitating the production of students’ scientific articles. Using a qualitative case study design, the research involved 17 sixth-semester students of the Mathematics Education Department at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Kerinci. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of students’ scientific articles, and analyzed using an interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that PjBL was generally implemented effectively, particularly in the stages of problem orientation and article writing, while project planning, data collection, and reflection were implemented at a moderate level. Most students perceived PjBL as a meaningful and authentic learning experience that enhanced their understanding of research processes and scientific article structure. Furthermore, the majority of students were able to produce complete IMRaD-structured articles with adequate to good quality. These results suggest that PjBL is a promising instructional approach for improving students’ scientific writing skills in higher education

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a mentoring program based on Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) in improving the information and communication technology competency and the quality of digital learning media of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah teachers. This study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample of this study was 30 Madrasah Ibtidaiyah teachers in Cirebon City. The instruments used were a TPACK competency questionnaire and a digital learning media assessment rubric. Data were analyzed using paired sample t-test and descriptive analysis. The results showed that before mentoring, teachers' technological competency was in the low category (TK = 2.37; TPACK = 2.51), while mastery of material and pedagogy was in the medium to high category. After mentoring, all aspects of TPACK competency experienced a significant increase (p < 0.001) with a very large effect size, especially in technological knowledge (d = 2.89) and overall TPACK (d = 2.76). TPACK competency increased from the low category to the high category (M = 3.93). The digital learning media developed by teachers achieved a good rating (M = 3.28), with the aspect of material accuracy receiving the highest score (M = 3.57). The types of media developed included interactive learning videos (30%), interactive multimedia presentations (27%), and digital educational games (23%). This study proves that TPACK-based mentoring is effective in strengthening teachers' abilities to integrate technology, pedagogy, and content in learning at MI.

Abstract

The decline of critical thinking among Islamic boarding school students (santri) amidst a broader crisis of kitab turats (classical Islamic text) literacy presents a pressing challenge in traditional religious education. Learning approaches for texts such as Fathul Mu’in remain dominated by rote memorization and one-way instruction, limiting students’ analytical engagement. This study explores how the Discovery Learning model can transform the learning process by fostering critical reasoning and deeper comprehension of fiqh content, particularly in the Rub’ul ‘Ibadat section. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and document analysis at an Islamic boarding school in East Java. The findings reveal four critical issues: (1) declining enthusiasm for kitab turats without contextualized teaching; (2) a dominance of memorization-based methods suppressing inquiry; (3) strong interest in critical thinking among students, yet lacking structured guidance; and (4) limited intergenerational intellectual dialogue due to hierarchical norms. The implementation of Discovery Learning encouraged student participation, analytical dialogue, and interpretative engagement with the text. This model also began to shift the classroom dynamic toward a more dialogical and participatory learning environment. The study suggests that integrating Discovery Learning into traditional kitab education holds significant potential for revitalizing intellectual traditions in pesantren and cultivating reflective Islamic scholars

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the pesantren environment on students’ academic achievement at MA Al-Mubarok. The pesantren environment is viewed as an educational ecosystem that integrates formal and nonformal education through discipline, religious values, literacy culture, and social interaction among students. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects included students residing in the pesantren, subject teachers, and pesantren administrators, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings indicate that the pesantren environment has a positive impact on students’ academic achievement. Time discipline, religious habituation, literacy practices, Arabic language learning, and collective learning culture contribute to the enhancement of students’ learning motivation, psychological well-being, and academic understanding. This study confirms that the pesantren environment functions not only as a space for character building but also as an effective educational system that supports students’ academic success in madrasah-based education.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Guru Penggerak (Teacher Mobilizers) in enhancing the pedagogical competence of non-Guru Penggerak teachers at SMA Negeri 5 Barru, Indonesia. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation involving the principal, Guru Penggerak, non-Guru Penggerak teachers, and students. The findings indicate that Guru Penggerak contribute significantly to pedagogical improvement through three main roles: (1) facilitating professional learning communities via internal training, workshops, regular discussions, and sharing best practices; (2) serving as model practitioners by demonstrating differentiated instruction, technology integration, and contextual curriculum development; and (3) fostering collaborative spaces for peer dialogue, reflective practice, and problem-solving. These roles promote improved mastery of learning theories, curriculum design, ICT utilization, and empathetic communication among non-Guru Penggerak teachers. Supporting factors include principal leadership, a collaborative school culture, and teacher motivation. Challenges identified include limited time, uneven ICT access, and varied teacher readiness. Overall, Guru Penggerak act as key agents of educational transformation by sustainably strengthening teaching quality and professional capacity within the school context.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the roles, challenges, and strategies for the future of inclusive education in Indonesia through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 30 relevant academic articles. The findings indicate that Special Education Schools (SLB) now play a crucial role as training centers, assessment service providers, and innovation hubs for regular schools. The primary challenges identified include human resource limitations, infrastructure gaps, policy inconsistencies, and socio-cultural barriers. Future strategies are focused on teacher competency development, the integration of assistive technology, and the creation of a collaborative educational ecosystem. The novelty of this research lies in the strategic repositioning of SLB, no longer merely as segregative institutions but as comprehensive resource centers that integrate assistive technology into a collaborative framework between the government and regular schools. These findings provide a foundation for policymakers to formulate more technical regulations regarding the standardization of SLB as national inclusion support centers to ensure equal educational rights for all children with special needs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the konjengan tradition of kiai in Madura as a socio-religious practice that not only represents symbolic reverence but also functions as a strategic mechanism for strengthening communal solidarity within the context of contemporary Islam. Konjengan is understood as a manifestation of future-oriented humanism because it integrates spiritual authority with lived ethical practices embedded in everyday community life. This research employs a qualitative approach through participant observation and in-depth interviews to comprehensively explore interactional patterns, symbolic meanings, and relational dynamics between kiai and community members. The analysis focuses on how the sustained presence of the kiai, contextually grounded moral guidance, and consistent social engagement cultivate collective attachment, a sense of belonging, and social trust at the community level. The findings indicate that konjengan facilitates the internalization of Islamic ethical values such as empathy, humility, social responsibility, and participatory leadership, thereby counterbalancing the rise of modern individualism. Accordingly, konjengan can be understood as an adaptive, culturally grounded model of social ethics that significantly contributes to the preservation of social cohesion and community resilience.
