Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of mobile device usage intensity on the learning motivation of junior high school students in Brebes Regency. Using a quantitative approach with an explanatory correlational design, this study involved 384 students from 10 selected public junior high schools selected through purposive cluster and proportional random sampling techniques. Primary data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results showed that the majority of students had a moderate level of mobile device usage intensity, with the dominant use being to access educational content. Meanwhile, their learning motivation level was in the high category. Hypothesis testing confirmed a strong positive relationship and a unidirectional and significant influence between the two variables. The coefficient of determination value showed that mobile device usage intensity contributed 42% to increasing student learning motivation. In conclusion, mobile device use has been proven not only as a source of distraction, but also functions as a catalyst that can increase student independence and learning motivation when directed appropriately towards academic activities.

Abstract

His study aims to analyze the implementation of character education among students at MTsS Al-Parakkasi Polewali Mandar. Character education has become one of the essential strategies for developing students who possess noble character, discipline, responsibility, and a high level of social awareness. This descriptive qualitative study involved the principal, teachers, counseling teachers, homeroom teachers, and students as informants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the implementation of character education is carried out through integrated planning, implementation, and supervision processes. At the planning stage, the madrasah integrates character values into its vision and mission, curriculum, teaching modules, and extracurricular activities. The implementation of character education is realized through classroom learning, religious habituation, teacher role modeling, social activities, and student discipline development. Supervision is conducted through behavioral monitoring, violation records, guidance and counseling services, and periodic evaluations involving homeroom teachers and the principal. The challenges encountered include differences in students’ characteristics, the influence of the social environment, consistency in habituation practices, and parental involvement. These challenges are addressed through collaboration among all members of the madrasah community and continuous guidance approaches. The implementation of character education has proven effective in fostering students’ discipline, responsibility, cooperation, social awareness, and religious behavior. This study contributes to strengthening a madrasah culture-based character education model that can be sustainably implemented to develop generations with noble character and exemplary personalities.

Abstract

Advances in information and communication technology have accelerated the spread of information through social media, but at the same time have also increased the potential for the spread of hoaxes that can affect the image of Islamic educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools. Hoaxes regarding Islamic boarding schools such as issues of violence, radicalism, health, and even the integrity of caregivers have the potential to trigger a reputational crisis if not handled appropriately. This study aims to analyze public relations and crisis management strategies for countering hoaxes about Islamic boarding schools through a case study at the Tahfidzul Qur'an Baitul Makmur Islamic Boarding School in Malang. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, and were then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that hoaxes about Islamic boarding schools spread through various social media platforms by exploiting anonymous accounts, digital chat groups, and social media algorithms that accelerate the virality of information. The public relations strategies implemented include early issue detection, prompt and transparent clarification through official channels, strengthening digital literacy among pesantren residents, and collaborating with community leaders and the media to build public trust. These strategies are an integral part of crisis management in controlling the spread of hoaxes, safeguarding the institution’s reputation, and strengthening the resilience of pesantren communication in the digital age. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of public relations and crisis management strategies in addressing hoaxes at Islamic educational institutions, thereby producing a conceptual model of crisis communication that is adaptive to the characteristics of the social media ecosystem and enriching the study of public relations in pesantren.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of transformational leadership of school principals in encouraging vocational education innovation and industrial partnerships at SMK Batik 1 Surakarta, focusing on the alignment between leadership strategies and learning practices in schools. The research methods used were qualitative, including semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, with data collected from principals, teachers, and administrative staff. The findings show that principals apply transformational leadership principles to encourage educational innovation and build industry partnerships, but there are challenges in their implementation, including resource limitations, resistance to change, and traditional academic culture pressures. These barriers reduce the effectiveness of leadership strategies in achieving innovative, industry-oriented learning. The results of the study emphasized the need for capacity building through continuous professional training, strengthening transformational leadership literacy, and developing practical strategies that are appropriate to the context of vocational schools. The use of technology and the digitalization of administration are also important steps to focus school principals on pedagogical development and partnerships. In line with the goals of vocational education in Indonesia, this effort is expected to increase learning innovation, students' work skills, and productive relationships with the industrial world. This research provides practical insights for policymakers, principals, and educators in improving the effectiveness of transformational leadership for adaptive and innovative vocational education

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of movement and force in Bantengan art through an ethnoscience perspective and to examine its potential as a context for learning Natural Sciences (IPA). Using a qualitative method with an ethnographic design, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with six informants (two main players, three musicians, and one instructor), and qualitative video analysis of Bantengan performances. The analysis reveals that specific Bantengan movements map onto distinct physics concepts: foot-stomping demonstrates Newton’s Third Law and the impulse–momentum theorem, running and headbutting illustrate the change of momentum during collision, body rotation exhibits the conservation of angular momentum, static jumps show the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy, and extreme flexion movements reveal torque and biomechanical force balance. Beyond mechanics, Bantengan integrates cultural and spiritual values that offer an ethnoscience approach deepening students’ grasp of scientific concepts. These findings position Bantengan as a promising context for contextual science learning that bridges scientific theory and cultural practice while preserving local heritage

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using Arabic content on the YouTube channel “Arab Podcast” on improving the Arabic speaking skills of tenth-grade students at Ma’had As-Sunnah Makassar. Speaking skill is one of the main competencies in Arabic language learning that reflects students’ ability to use the language communicatively and functionally in real-life contexts. The research employed a quantitative approach with an experimental method. Data were collected through speaking skill tests, classroom observations, and interviews. The test instrument covered four main aspects: linguistic accuracy (grammar and morphology), fluency, pronunciation accuracy, and comprehension of meaning and context. The results revealed a significant improvement of 18.5% between the pre-test (mean score: 67) and post-test (mean score: 85.5). The highest improvement was observed in pronunciation (22%), followed by fluency (19%), comprehension (18%), and grammar (15%). In addition, observation and interview results showed increased student motivation, self-confidence, and active participation in Arabic speaking activities. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of “Arab Podcast” as a digital learning medium is effective in enhancing Arabic speaking skills. This medium creates an interactive and contextual learning atmosphere aligned with modern technological developments, making it highly relevant for Arabic language education in Islamic institutions.

Abstract

Developing Arabic speaking skills (mahārah al-kalām) remains a major challenge in Arabic language education, as many learners have limited opportunities for meaningful oral practice, low self-confidence, and insufficient exposure to authentic language input. Integrating the Sam’iyyah Syafawiyyah method with audio-visual media has the potential to address these challenges by providing structured listening and speaking practice in meaningful contexts. This study examines the effectiveness of the audio-visual-based Sam’iyyah Syafawiyyah method in improving Arabic speaking skills (mahārah al-kalām) among ninth-grade students at MTs Miftahul Khaer Mare, Bone Regency, Indonesia. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. A total of 52 students participated, divided equally into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test speaking assessments and analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The results reveal a statistically significant difference between the two groups, with the experimental group achieving a higher post-test mean score (89.08) compared to the control group (83.60). The t-test analysis indicates a significance value below 0.05, confirming that the Sam’iyyah Syafawiyyah method integrated with audio-visual media has a positive and significant effect on students’ speaking performance. These findings suggest that the integration of structured listening-speaking drills with audio-visual materials effectively enhances pronunciation accuracy, fluency, vocabulary usage, and students’ confidence in oral communication. Therefore, this method is recommended for Arabic language instruction to foster more interactive and communicative learning environments.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of Quranic recitation and interpretation of financial verses in the Quran and their relevance to digital Islamic accounting and the needs of 21st-century education. Variations in Quranic recitation in verses concerning trust, record-keeping, and justice demonstrate significant differences in the emphasis of meaning, thereby enriching the construction of ethics, accountability, and integrity in muamalah transactions. The integration of these interpretations with the concept of digital accounting reveals the coherence between Quranic values and the principles of digital governance, data integrity, and technology-based Islamic accounting. Furthermore, this study finds that the values of Quranic recitation can strengthen digital literacy, critical thinking skills, and ethical awareness of students as core competencies of 21st-century education. This study employs a qualitative library research approach through thematic analysis of Qur'anic financial verses using authentic (mutawātir) canonical qirā’at, with An-Nashr fī al-Qirā’āt al-'Ashr by Ibn al-Jazarī as the primary reference, supported by classical and contemporary tafsīr representing both tafsīr bi al-ma’thūr and tafsīr bi al-ra’y. The findings indicate that the canonical qirā’at of Q. Al-Baqarah (2):282 concerning transaction documentation generate semantic nuances that reinforce the principles of accountability, transparency, and accurate record-keeping, thereby providing an ethical foundation for digital Islamic accounting and technology-based financial governance. The results of the study indicate that the integration of Quranic recitation in Islamic accounting learning offers a multidisciplinary approach relevant to the demands of modern financial digitalization.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of MANTAP SPANDA program (Microsite-Based Student Talent Management) on students’ achievement and social skills at SMPN 2 Pasuruan. This study also tries to find out the mechanisms, perceptions, and experiences of school stakeholders in its implementation. The research used a mixed methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires from students who are involved in extracurricular activities and quality development programs and the data of the school achievement within three years. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews with the vice headmaster, extracurricular coaches, and students. The documentations of the process were also used to give better description. Quantitative data analysis used MANOVA with Pillai's Trace criterion, while qualitative data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model. The result of the data analysis using Pillai's Trace criterion (0.648, F = 5.155, p < 0.001), indicating a moderate-to-large simultaneous effect. Tests of Between-Subjects Effects revealed that the program significantly influenced both variables, with a larger effect on social skills (η² = 0.495, F = 10.559, p < 0.001) compared to achievement (η² = 0.408, F = 7.414, p < 0.001). Achievement trend data showed an annual increase in the number of awards received. The data of the student’s achievements was also described in a trend analysis. The results suggested that the implementation of the MANTAP SPANDA program affected student achievement. The program also influenced students' social skills. The program's influence on social skills was stronger compared to its influence on achievement. Achievement trend data showed there was an increase in the number of awards from year to year. Qualitative findings revealed that the implementation mechanism operated through four stages: talent mapping, intervention, training, and impact evaluation. Stakeholders’ perceptions of the program were positive, particularly because it is easy to access, enhance data transparency, and improve the coordination among stake holders. The program also helped students to manage their achievement documentation and develop social skills in terms of their responsibility, discipline, and collaboration. The challenge of this program is the digital skill gap of few teachers to make use of it. This study concludes that the MANTAP SPANDA program has been proven to impact student achievement and social skills at SMPN 2 Pasuruan. The program is recommended to be developed, especially about the needs of training for coaches who are not familiar with this digital innovation. Other schools are recommended to adopt and develop this program in their school talent management.
