Abstract

Purpose – Despite the predominance of Muslim students at Universiti Malaysia Pahang, the psychological effects of Quran recitation on stress and relaxation remain insufficiently investigated using scientific measures. Therefore, this study addresses this gap by examining the relaxation effects of Quran recitation through biofeedback analysis. Design/methods/approach – Repeated measures mixed quasi-experimental design was conducted in this study. For heart rate variability (HRV) test, thirty undergraduate students who participated in this test were divided into two groups: good Quran reciters group and weak Quran reciters group based on recitation test. And for breathing behavior (BB) test, six undergraduate students are good Quran reciters who are involved in this test. Findings – Pre–post test score means differences comparison showed significant differences in HRV, when all p-values < 0.05 for both groups.  And the results between good reciters group and weak reciters group also shows a clear significant difference in HRV data when all p-values < 0.05. So, students who are proficient in reciting the Quran can more easily control their psychological signals than those who are not, which tends to promote relaxation. Research implications/limitations –The emWave PC tool and the CapnoTrainer have been used to measure HRV and BB. Originality/value – this research is to examine the effects of Quran recitation and reading styles (Tajweed, Story, Theme, and Understanding) on the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Breathing Behavior (BB) among undergraduate university students and their relaxation.

Abstract

Purpose – The aim of this research is to determine the need for developing a digital comic aligned with the Islamic Education textbook. This study is a needs analysis based on discrepancy model that also employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) used to determine Islamic education teachers’ acceptance towards the use of comic in the Islamic Education subject. Design/methods/approach – This is a quantitative  research. To obtain the data, some questionnaires were administered to 315 Islamic Education teachers  of public primary schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Findings – Descriptive analysis revealed strong pedagogical beliefs about the educational value of comics, positive attitudes, and high levels of acceptance regarding educational comics. Correlation analysis showed that teachers’ pedagogical beliefs about the educational value of comics, attitudes, and acceptance were all positively related, with attitudes most strongly associated with both perceived usefulness and ease of use. Regression results further demonstrated that attitudes were the strongest predictor of perceived usefulness, while pedagogical belief about comics’ educational role and current usage contributed more to perceived ease of use. Despite these positive perceptions, many teachers reported limited prior experience in using comics, signaling a gap between readiness and practice. Research implications/limitations – Teachers’ strong interest highlights the need for curriculum-aligned digital comics that should be supported by practical training, such as hands-on workshops that build confidence and ease of use. Additionally, policymakers and school leaders can accelerate adoption by embedding digital comics into teaching guidelines, resource repositories, and ICT initiatives. Originality/value – The research provides a base towards creating a comic-form learning source for Islamic Education subject.

Abstract

Purpose – The primary objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness of metaphor-based instruction, including the use of teaching props, in enhancing students’ memory retention in Islamic religious education (IRE) lectures. Meanwhile, gender and class differences are treated as comparative variables to explore variations in memory retention across student groups rather than as the main focus of the intervention. The analysis of teaching props functions as a supplementary instructional dimension that strengthens the core metaphor-based strategy. Design/methods/approach – 134 students from five Islamic Religious Education lecture sessions at UIN Mataram participated in this study, which used a quantitative ex-post facto design. A validated 14-item structured memory test comprising metaphor-based instruction, metaphor-assisted teaching props, and student attitude characteristics was used to assess the students' memory recall. Data analysis used descriptive statistics (Rasch model), ANOVA, and post hoc. Findings – The results showed that female students had higher memory than male students. In addition, there were significant differences between classes, with class B showing the highest recall. The aspects of metaphor method and metaphor-assisted teaching aids obtained a percentage of achievement of 89% and 92%, respectively, while the aspect of student attitudes amounted to 69.6%. This study confirms that the metaphor method, especially those assisted by props, is effective in improving student recall in IRE lectures. Research implications/limitations – This research can be an initial reference for Islamic religious education lectures in implementing more varied learning methods. Lecturers also need to train students' attitudes in their teaching. As a result, the students not only   have  knowledge, but also good attitudes like  honesty  and responsibility. Originality/value – The use of the Rasch model and ANOVA test successfully explained the results in detail. The next step is to conduct comparative research on other lecture methods and universities.

Abstract

Objective - The Merdeka Curriculum requires IRE Teacher Leader (Guru Penggerak Pendidikan Agama Islam) to develop pedagogical creativity in designing contextual and student-centered learning materials. However, current IRE teaching practices in schools still show limited variety and optimization of learning materials, meaning that the integration of Islamic values with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum has not yet been fully achieved. This study aims to analyze the role of IRE Teacher Leader in designing, adapting, and evaluating learning media based on the Merdeka Curriculum at the junior high school level in Lhokseumawe City. Design/method/approach - This study employed an exploratory qualitative approach involving three IRE Teacher Leaders, supported by Vice Principals for Curriculum and IRE Teacher Leader Coordinators at Public Junior High Schools A, B, and C in Lhokseumawe City as informants representing pilot schools. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic analysis with method triangulation to ensure validity. Findings - The research findings indicated that IRE Teacher Leader possess professional awareness in planning instructional media and are capable of adapting it to the characteristics of students and the context of IRE instruction. Instructional media is used to support social interaction, the internalization of religious values, and more contextual learning. However, this study also found that these practices still face a number of obstacles, including limited technology-based creativity, weak collaboration among teachers in media development, and the lack of systematic and continuous evaluation of learning media. These conditions indicate a gap between the ideal role of IRE Teacher Leader as learning leaders and the implementation of learning media in practice. Research implications/limitations - These findings indicated the need to strengthen techno-pedagogical capacity, provide media evaluation training, and foster a collaborative culture through school-policy-based Professional Learning Communities (PLC). Originality/Value - This study offers an original contribution by integrating the perspectives of Islamic education, the Merdeka Curriculum policy, and the role of IRE Teacher Leader as agents of value-based educational change.

Abstract

Purpose – The implementation of child-friendly education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) faces various structural challenges that remain underexplored in existing studies. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and implications of structural constraints in the implementation of child-friendly education programs in Islamic boarding schools. Design/methods/approach – The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach across nine Islamic boarding schools in Riau and the Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews. The key informants consisted of four government authorities, nine leaders, and nine students. Data analysis in this study follows thematic analysis based on the Miles & Huberman model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Findings – The study identifies three major structural constraints. First, limited government support reflects weak policy integration between the state and Islamic boarding schools, resulting in insufficient resources and program support. Second, the misalignment between pesantren institutional regulations and child-friendly education principles contributes to the structural neglect of children's rights. Third, the temporary nature of stakeholder collaboration highlights weak inter-institutional coordination. Research implications/limitations – The study was limited to a specific regional context, which may differ from that in other areas. Future research should broaden its scope by involving a larger number of pesantren across comparative contexts. Originality/value – This study provides original insights by highlighting structural constraints that are often overlooked in studies of child-friendly education in Islamic boarding schools. By focusing on institutional and policy dimensions, the research offers a novel perspective beyond normative and cultural discussions in the existing literature.

Abstract

Purpose – Teacher competency assessments often emphasize technical performance and administrative compliance while paying limited attention to ethical and religious value frameworks that shape professional identity in faith-based schools. In Muhammadiyah education, Al Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK), integrating Islamic teachings and institutional values, guides teachers’ professional conduct and educational practice. However, these values have rarely been operationalized within empirically validated teacher competency frameworks. This study develops and validates a teacher competency assessment model integrating AIK values into professional standards for Muhammadiyah elementary school teachers. Design/methods/approach – This research employs a research and development framework with a sequential mixed methods design, combining qualitative exploration, expert validation, and quantitative testing involving 343 teachers. AIK values were translated into observable behavioral indicators across four competency domains: pedagogical, professional, social, and personality. Psychometric evaluation assessed content validity, internal consistency reliability, and construct validity using factor-based model testing. Findings – The final instrument comprises 30 items representing the four competency domains integrated with AIK values. Results demonstrate strong content validity and high reliability, with composite reliability ranging from 0,787 to 0,893. Construct validation shows acceptable model fit (RMSEA = 0,074; SRMR = 0,073), supporting the structural coherence of the AIK integrated competency model. Research implications/limitations – This study offers an empirically grounded framework linking Islamic educational values with psychometric assessment, although broader cross-regional validation is recommended. Originality/value – This research bridges Islamic educational philosophy with contemporary psychometric practice and provides a model for value-embedded competency assessment applicable to other faith-based or culturally specific educational contexts.
