Community empowerment in Ngabab village through the DeWe@n program: analysis of the ACTORS framework
This study aims to analyze the community economic empowerment strategy through the DeWe@n Educational Tourism Village program in Ngabab Village, Pujon District, Malang Regency, with a focus on the application of the ACTORS framework (Authority, Confidence, Trust, Opportunities, Responsibilities, and Support). This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 16 key informants consisting of village officials, MSMEs, and local communities. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that the ACTORS framework plays a significant role in strengthening community empowerment strategies. The authority dimension is realized through granting authority to the community to manage tourism activities independently. This confidence is evident in the increasing confidence of MSMEs and youth in innovating and interacting with tourists. Trust grows through a relationship of mutual trust between the village government and residents that forms social solidarity. Opportunities are seen in the emergence of various new economic opportunities based on local products, while responsibilities reflect a sense of ownership towards the community who travel, although a formal tourism management institutional structure has not been permanently established. Meanwhile, support comes through collaboration between village governments, educational institutions, and private partners. Contextually, this research confirms that the ACTORS implementation model is effective in encouraging participation, building social trust, and strengthening village economic independence based on local potential in a sustainable manner.
Ecoteology Perspective in the Preservation of Bunker Together Malang as an Effort to Strengthen Environmental Ethics and Local History
Bunkers are colonial buildings that not only have architectural value, but also create relationships between humans, the environment and Allah SWT. In the modern era, often the perception of colonial buildings is seen as purely aesthetic, so it requires a new approach. This research aims to examine the preservation of the Bunker Bareng Malang through the perspective of ecotheology as an effort to strengthen environmental ethics and local historical awareness. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with field observation, interviews, and literature study methods. The results of the data were obtained from interpretive analysis to see the relationship between theological, social and ecological values in the process of building transformation. The Research results indicated that the functional transformation that occurred at Bunker Bareng Malang is an adaptive preservation, emphasizing the change from its original function as a defense system into a creative public space while still maintaining the original building structure and its historical value. Not only does it have an impact on the local economy, but this preservation also fosters ethical awareness for the younger generation of the importance of maintaining cultural heritage as a form of human spiritual responsibility towards nature and the creation of Allah SWT. Based on Islamic ecotheology, this study asserts that the ecotheological approach can be a sustainable step by harmonizing moral, ecological, and spiritual values through the principles of tawḥid and amanah as the ethical foundation for environmental conservation.

Development of Faculty and Student Competencies in Digital Literacy for Arabic Language Learning
The digital era necessitates a paradigm shift in Arabic language education within higher education institutions. Traditional pedagogical methods are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of technologically driven learning environments. Digital literacy—encompassing the ability to effectively use, evaluate, and create digital content—has become a fundamental competency for both lecturers and students to achieve optimal learning outcomes. This empirical–conceptual study aims to analyze strategies for developing digital literacy competencies in Arabic language teaching, drawing from studies indexed in Scopus and SINTA between 2019 and 2025. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of digital-based Arabic language learning largely depends on two critical factors: the lecturers’ proficiency in designing interactive and engaging digital learning content, and students’ ability to manage online learning resources effectively. Lecturers are expected to integrate innovative digital tools, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), multimedia platforms, and interactive applications, to foster dynamic and student-centered learning experiences. Meanwhile, students need to develop skills in digital resource management, online collaboration, and critical evaluation of information to become autonomous learners. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of continuous professional development in digital literacy through systematic training programs, interdisciplinary research collaborations, and the contextual adaptation of digital media to pedagogical goals. By integrating technology into language instruction, educators can enhance communicative competence, creativity, and intercultural awareness among learners. Ultimately, strengthening digital literacy in Arabic language education not only enhances teaching and learning effectiveness but also prepares graduates to thrive in the globalized digital landscape.
Tazkiyatun nafs sebagai spirit etika bermedia di era post-truth
Era post-truth mengubah cara orang memahami informasi, sehingga keputusan yang diambil di dunia digital lebih banyak didorong oleh perasaan daripada pertimbangan yang rasional. Situasi ini menunjukkan bahwa masalah etika digital tidak hanya melibatkan pemahaman teknis, tetapi juga proses pengendalian diri yang berkaitan dengan kejiwaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan peran tazkiyatun nafs sebagai kerangka dalam diri yang mempengaruhi cara pengguna menyaring informasi, mengendalikan emosi, serta membuat keputusan yang etis di ruang digital. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan cara melakukan studi literatur dan menganalisis isi tema dari publikasi yang diterbitkan antara tahun 2015 hingga 2025. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tazkiyatun nafs bekerja melalui tiga mekanisme utama, yaitu pengaturan niat, penstabilan emosi, dan penyaringan informasi secara moral. Dengan mekanisme tersebut, nilai-nilai seperti kejujuran, penyelidikan, dan menjaga martabat tidak hanya menjadi aturan yang harus diikuti, tetapi juga muncul sebagai hasil dari jiwa yang teratur. Penelitian ini menawarkan kerangka konseptual yang memperluas pemahaman literasi digital dari aspek kognitif ke aspek spiritual dan emosional. Namun, batasan penelitian ini bersifat konseptual, sehingga diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menguji penerapannya dalam konteks pendidikan maupun perilaku digital.
Problem analysis of the implementation of the AIR and ALC methods in Islamic Religious Education learning at SMAN 9 Malang
Student-centered learning remains difficult to implement in Islamic Religious Education (PAI), where teacher-centered habits, limited engagement, and weak pedagogical adaptation persist. Although the AIR and ALC methods are promoted as active-learning approaches, little is known about how they function when applied simultaneously in actual PAI classrooms. This study addresses that gap by examining the integration process of AIR and ALC and the contextual factors shaping their effectiveness at a senior high school in Malang. Using a qualitative case-study design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Findings show that AIR strengthens cognitive processing through auditory engagement and repetition, while ALC structures the learning flow to sustain participation. However, their implementation is hindered by classroom discipline issues, low student motivation, limited teacher readiness, scheduling constraints, and infrastructural shortcomings. These results indicate that contextual conditions, rather than the methods themselves, determine the success of AIR–ALC integration in PAI learning.
The ethical principles and regulatory frameworks that shape the global landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), situating the analysis within the context of leading international efforts to study and govern AI ethics
The swift evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has become a central force driving digital transformation across numerous sectors, including finance, healthcare, education, and security. However, this progress also raises profound ethical and regulatory challenges. This study aims to analyze global approaches to AI ethics and governance through a comprehensive review of leading scholarly works. Floridi et al. (2018), through the AI4People initiative, proposed an ethical framework based on five core principles: promoting good, preventing harm, respecting autonomy, ensuring fairness, and maintaining transparency. These principles are designed to ensure that AI development serves the public good while upholding fundamental human values. Similarly, Mittelstadt et al. (2016) explored ethical concerns associated with computational systems, highlighting issues such as bias, discrimination, and lack of transparency in automated decision-making. Their findings suggest that without effective governance mechanisms, AI systems risk reinforcing existing social inequalities. Meanwhile, Cath (2018) approaches the issue from a legal and policy standpoint, identifying obstacles in national and global AI regulation, including differing country policies and the necessity for flexible yet robust legal frameworks. Based on these insights, this paper contends that AI ethics and governance should be viewed as deeply interrelated dimensions. Developing responsible AI requires a synthesis of ethical standards, legal frameworks, and technological innovation aimed at promoting collective well-being. Therefore, international organizations, governments, and academic institutions play a crucial role in establishing consistent global guidelines to ensure that AI advancement aligns with human-centered values.
Strategi pengembangan sumber daya manusia dalam mewujudkan pesantren ramah anak: studi di Pondok Pesantren Tebuireng
Pesantren sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam tertua di Indonesia memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk karakter, moral, dan nilai kemanusiaan santri. Namun, tantangan baru muncul seiring meningkatnya kasus kekerasan dan perlunya lingkungan pendidikan yang aman serta inklusif bagi anak. Untuk menjawab hal tersebut, Kementerian Agama menginisiasi program Pesantren Ramah Anak (PRA) yang bertujuan menciptakan suasana belajar yang melindungi hak-hak anak dan menumbuhkan nilai empati serta toleransi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam mewujudkan prinsip-prinsip pesantren ramah anak di Pondok Pesantren Tebuireng, Jombang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi terhadap pembina dan santri. Analisis data dilakukan dengan model Miles, Huberman, dan Saldana melalui tahapan reduksi, penyajian, serta penatikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi pengembangan SDM di Tebuireng berfokus pada tiga aspek utama: pelatihan kolaboratif bersama UIN Malang, sistem kaderisasi berbasis pengabdian, dan penguatan komunikasi empatik antara pendidik dan santri. Strategi ini berkontribusi pada terbentuknya budaya pengasuhan yang humanis serta peningkatan kesejahteraan emosional anak di lingkungan pesantren. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan implementasi pesantren ramah anak sangat bergantung pada kualitas SDM dan transformasi nilai pengasuh. Perubahan perilaku, empati, dan komunikasi efektif memiliki dampak lebih signifikan daripada sekadar peningkatan fasilitas fisik. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada penguatan wacana pendidikan Islam yang berorientasi pada perlindungan anak, sekaligus menawarkan perspektif baru mengenai pentingnya pengembangan SDM sebagai inti dari terciptanya lingkungan pesantren yang aman, inklusif, dan mendukung kesejahteraan santri. Dengan demikian, penguatan SDM menjadi kunci strategis dalam mewujudkan ekosistem pendidikan Islam yang aman, inklusif, dan berorientasi pada perlindungan anak.
Factors Influencing the Psychological Well-Being of EFL Students in a Boarding University Environment
This study investigates the factors influencing the psychological well-being of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students living in university dormitories. The issue of student well-being has gained increasing attention as dormitory life can significantly shape students’ academic performance, social adjustment, and emotional balance. The main objective of this research is to identify and analyze the internal and external factors that affect students’ mental and emotional well-being within the dormitory environment. The study employed a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with selected EFL students from a university in Indonesia. Data were analyzed thematically to explore recurring patterns and experiences related to psychological well-being. The findings indicate that several key factors influence students’ well-being, including social support, academic pressure, adaptability to dormitory life, and personal motivation. Supportive peer relationships and effective time management were found to enhance students’ psychological well-being, whereas homesickness and excessive workload often reduced their emotional stability. The study concludes that maintaining a balanced social and academic environment in dormitories is crucial for sustaining students’ well-being. It also suggests that universities should provide targeted counseling and peer mentoring programs to help students cope with emotional and academic challenges. These findings contribute to the growing body of research on student mental health and offer practical insights for improving the dormitory experience of EFL learners.

Click, get, learn 2.0: A digital learning framework grounded in learning styles to foster the advancement of student-centered learning
In the era of Society 5.0, the learning paradigm has significantly shifted from teacher-centered learning toward student-centered learning. The optimization of student-centered learning can be achieved through various approaches; however, one of the potential implementations explored in this study is the use of a digital learning framework. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of a learning style–based framework in daily teaching and learning activities. The study employs a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The population consists of 30 twelfth-grade students from the Research Program at MA Al-Ittihad Poncokusumo in the 2025/2026 academic year, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Learning style categorization was conducted using the VARK Learning Style Inventory questionnaire (5-point Likert scale), followed by learning activities tailored to the identified styles without class separation. Changes in understanding were measured through pre-tests and post-tests, each comprising five questions. The results of the experimental group revealed that the average increase in both comprehension and post-test skill scores was higher than in the pre-test. This finding demonstrates that the application of a digital framework aligned with the learning system can lead to significant improvements in the learning process.
Teachers' Adaptive Learning Strategies for Children with ADHD Symptoms
Early childhood with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms requires a tailored learning approach because they have difficulty maintaining attention, controlling impulses, and following instructions consistently. This condition requires teachers to implement adaptive learning strategies that can accommodate the children's individual needs. This study aims to analyze the adaptive learning strategies used by teachers to recognize distraction patterns and manage the behavior of children with ADHD symptoms at ABA 01 Batu Kindergarten. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and the principal, observations of classroom interactions, and supporting documentation. The analysis was conducted using thematic analysis through a coding process to identify strategic patterns that emerged in learning practices. The results of the study showed that teachers implemented adaptive strategies in several forms: (1) short, clear, and repeated instructions to help children understand directions; (2) positive reinforcement in the form of praise and rewards as motivation and behavioral regulation; (3) adjusting the rhythm and structure of activities, such as providing breaks, motor activities, and dividing tasks into small steps so that children do not become distracted quickly; (4) an empathetic emotional approach, where teachers build a sense of security through patience, closeness, and sensitive responses to changes in children's emotions; (5) arranging a learning environment with minimal distractions; and (6) collaboration with parents to align parenting patterns, behavioral regulation, and reinforcement at home. However, the implementation of the strategy still faces obstacles in the form of limited expert staff, parental consistency, and the less than optimal use of supporting visual media. In conclusion, adaptive learning strategies that are responsive, flexible, and based on empathy are key to supporting the learning engagement of children with ADHD. This approach allows teachers to more effectively direct children's behavior and foster optimal development.
Toward an AI-driven Islamic eco-campus model: bridging digital transformation and sustainability in Higher Education
In today's digital era, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a tool to assist human work, including in achieving sustainability performance in higher education. This study aims to describe the implementation, strategies, supporting factors, and inhibiting factors of AI use in supporting sustainability performance in higher education. This qualitative study took the case of a State Islamic University (UIN) A, which was ranked among the top 10 in the UI GreenMetric awards. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 informants, both online and offline, in mid-2025. Observations were obtained during campus visits. Documentation was obtained from the campus website, UI GreenMetric, and documents obtained from the green campus management. The research results show that UIN A has used AI to support its sustainability performance, especially in energy, transportation, infrastructure, waste management, and education. Commitment from the leadership, solid team support, and financial support are important supporting factors in the success of sustainability performance on campus. Although there are still obstacles such as limited human resource competency in AI, data security, and limited integration of AI and existing systems on campus. This research provides a theoretical contribution in the development of the triple bottom line theory which is integrated with Islamic values, thus becoming the quadrant bottom line theory. The results of this study can also provide empirical evidence of campus support for sustainability issues. However, there are still many improvements and enhancements that need to be made by green campus management to provide maximum support for the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
Systematic literature review: analisis strategi pembelajaran etno-teknologi dalam membentuk sikap toleransi siswa
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi pembelajaran berbasis etno-teknologi dalam membentuk sikap toleransi peserta didik melalui pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Kajian dilakukan terhadap 5 artikel nasional dan internasional terbit tahun 2022–2025 dengan kriteria inklusi berupa penelitian empiris yang mengintegrasikan kearifan lokal dan teknologi dalam konteks pembelajaran toleransi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa etno-teknologi mampu menciptakan pembelajaran yang kontekstual, kolaboratif, dan bermakna melalui penguatan nilai budaya serta pemanfaatan media digital sebagai sarana lintas budaya. Pendekatan ini tidak hanya meningkatkan pemahaman kognitif, tetapi juga menumbuhkan empati dan sikap saling menghargai. SLR ini mengidentifikasi kesenjangan penelitian, yaitu belum adanya kajian sistematis yang secara khusus memetakan mekanisme etno-teknologi dalam pembentukan toleransi. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini memberikan kebaruan melalui sintesis pola dan kontribusi pedagogis etno-teknologi dalam penguatan karakter toleran peserta didik di era digital.
Eco-sufistic lifestyle: gen z’s efforts in transforming environmental awareness from text to action
This study analyzes the implementation of the Eco-Sufistic Lifestyle as a manifestation of eco-theological transformation—shifting from textual understanding to concrete action—among Generation Z within Islamic educational settings, namely pondok pesantren and madrasah. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative data, information was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and questionnaires conducted in two research sites in Malang Regency. The findings reveal that the ecological awareness of students and santri ranges from high to very high, characterized by the internalization of core Sufi values such as zuhd (ascetic simplicity), anti-isrāf (anti-wastefulness), Green Mukmin, and Cosmic Tawhid. These principles foster the understanding that environmental preservation is not merely a moral duty but an integral form of worship and a spiritual responsibility of humans as khalifah (stewards) on earth. Cross-site analysis indicates that pondok pesantren emphasize exemplary conduct and discipline, while madrasah focus more on ecological education and the habituation of environmentally friendly behaviors. Despite challenges in maintaining consistency in daily practices, the integration of theological and ecological dimensions has proven effective in cultivating spiritual-ecological consciousness among learners. Therefore, the Eco-Sufistic Lifestyle emerges as a relevant Islamic educational model capable of nurturing a generation that is faithful, ethical, and environmentally conscious.
Akreditasi sekolah sebagai upaya peningkatan mutu pendidikan dasar dan menengah
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran akreditasi sekolah dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan dasar dan menengah di Indonesia. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada masih rendahnya mutu pendidikan nasional sebagaimana tercermin dari hasil Asesmen Nasional dan survei internasional seperti PISA yang menunjukkan ketimpangan antarwilayah serta lemahnya pengelolaan sekolah. Metode yang digunakan adalah study library research dengan menelaah berbagai literatur, regulasi, serta hasil penelitian terdahulu yang relevan dengan sistem penjaminan mutu dan pelaksanaan akreditasi sekolah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa akreditasi berperan sebagai instrumen penjaminan mutu eksternal yang mendorong sekolah untuk melakukan evaluasi diri, memperbaiki tata kelola, meningkatkan kompetensi guru, dan memperkuat sarana prasarana. Sekolah dengan nilai akreditasi tinggi umumnya memiliki sistem manajemen yang baik dan budaya mutu yang berkelanjutan. Namun, efektivitas akreditasi masih dipengaruhi oleh faktor tindak lanjut hasil akreditasi, keterlibatan pemangku kepentingan, dan dukungan sumber daya. Oleh karena itu, akreditasi perlu diintegrasikan dengan sistem penjaminan mutu internal sekolah agar peningkatan mutu dapat terwujud secara menyeluruh dan berkesinambungan.
Innovation career guidance program management based on student career maturity in STEM Education at PTKIN
This study explores the innovation of career guidance program management based on student career maturity within the context of STEM education at Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN). Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 27 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025, the research synthesizes global and national perspectives on STEM-oriented guidance, career maturity development, and the application of the CIPP evaluation model. The findings reveal that effective STEM career guidance management requires strategic integration of institutional planning, digital mentoring systems, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Career maturity development in higher education is strengthened through experiential learning, mentoring, and curriculum-embedded career literacy. Furthermore, the adaptation of the CIPP framework enhances program accountability and continuous improvement. The study introduces three innovative contributions: the Strategic Alignment Model for program management, the Integrated Maturity Pathway (IMP) for student development, and the CIPP-STEM Evaluation Engine for adaptive assessment. Together, these frameworks establish a coherent model for managing STEM-based career guidance that aligns institutional missions with employability outcomes. The research advances theoretical and practical understanding of career education management in PTKIN and provides a replicable foundation for sustainable innovation in higher education.

These findings reinforce the important role of non-formal education in strengthening the national education system and supporting the sustainable realization of SDG 4.
The Utilization of Adaptive Digital Platforms in Social Studies Learning to Improve Social Literacy of Elementary School Students
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using adaptive digital platforms in Social Science (IPS) learning to improve the social literacy of elementary school students. Although digital technology is increasingly used in education, social studies learning in Indonesia is still teacher-centric and does not accommodate diverse learning needs. This study examines how adaptive platforms like Google Classroom can strengthen students' empathy, cooperation, and civic awareness. The study used a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design involving 60 grade V students from two elementary schools in South Kalimantan. Quantitative analysis using paired-sample t-test and ANCOVA showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in all dimensions of social literacy, with the highest Increase in empathy (18%), followed by cooperation (15%) and civic awareness (12%). Qualitative findings from interviews and observations show that adaptive digital learning encourages active engagement, collaboration, and reflective communication among students. Adaptive platforms also create learning environments that are inclusive and responsive to individual learning styles, thus not only improving academic outcomes but also shaping social character and digital ethics. Theoretically, this research expands the application of social constructivism theory in the context of adaptive digital learning by placing social interaction at the core of the formation of social literacy in the 21st century. The results of this study provide practical implications for teachers, curriculum developers, and researchers to integrate adaptive technology in social studies learning to foster empathy, cooperation, and social responsibility in the digital era.
Floor Time Intervention and Oral Motor Play in Expressive Language Development for Early Childhood Inclusion
This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is designed to articulate the specific mechanisms of contribution that the Floor Time intervention and oral motor play, do provide for expressive language development in young children within a framework of inclusive education. because speech is first and foremost necessary for effective communication - the basic building block of social interaction, emotional management and academic skills; it is therefore also a requirement for an accessible society. Floor Time, A DIR (Developmental, individual difference and relationship-based) intervention that aims to build intense emotional connections and follow the child's lead in order to stimulate innate drives for communication. On an interdependent level, the extension of oral motor play and large muscle activity of speech musculature provides a basis for clear articulation and volitional vocalizations at an early stage. The synthesis of recent scholarship (2010-2025) within this review breaks down the distinct and shared effectiveness of these interventions and implications for Inclusive Early Childhood Education (IECE). Evidence from a systematic review shows that Floor Time substantially increases functional communication, spontaneous language, and complex make-believe play particularly in autistic spectrum populations. Meanwhile, it has long been understood that oral motor play works to build the physical foundations of speech, clear and articulate speech follows from this. As systematically applied, these intervention techniques represent a comprehensive but practical orientation to the young child that can be performed across a wide variety of IECE environments and are among the most potent means by which to bridge gaps in development and support active engagement for all young children. The paper discusses implications for people working in education, therapy and policy-making at a time when the argument for informed integration is stronger than ever, but also raises serious criticisms of these calls and identifies areas in which research should go if it hopes to be relevant to more inclusive communities.
The Resilient Generation of UIN Malang Mathematics Education: Perspective on the Cognitive Load of Students
Deep learning needs to be applied in learning, so that the learning process is not limited to cognitive aspects alone. Moreover, the cognitive load that humans can accept is limited. This load does not only come from within the classroom during learning, but also from other factors such as emotions, time constraints, and existing tasks. Cognitive load theory needs to be applied to deal with this, so that the learning portion is in accordance with the conditions required by students. This study conducted on first-semester students of the Mathematics Education study program at UIN Malang aims to identify and analyze existing cognitive load. The study used a quantitative approach with 54 students as sample respondents. Data were collected through a semi-structured guided questionnaire covering aspects of intrinsic load, extraneous load, emotional load, time and task load, and resource load. Data analysis used descriptive statistics with Rasch Model validity testing. The results showed that cognitive load was in the moderate to high category, with intrinsic load, extraneous load, emotional load, time load, and task load in the moderate category, and resource load in the high category. These findings indicate that students are able to manage their cognitive load quite well. However, the high time and task load needs to be addressed as it has the potential to cause cognitive fatigue and reduce learning effectiveness. This study recommends the development of OBE-based adaptive learning strategies that take into account the balance between academic activities and dormitory life.
Digital dilemma of muslim gen z filters facts, role of Islamic Education mental health
The phenomenon of virtual reality has become inseparable from the daily lives of Indonesian Muslim Gen Z, particularly through social media platforms such as TikTok. Excessive exposure to algorithm-driven content and visual filters significantly impacts mental health, including identity disturbance, anxiety, and social pressure. This study aims to explore how the construction of virtual reality on digital platforms affects the mental health of Muslim Gen Z and how Islamic values serve as a foundation for psychological resilience. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and literature study, this work examines empirical data from 2025, TikTok content trends, and ethical perspectives in Islamic teachings. The findings show that virtual reality does not fully represent real life and creates pressure regarding ideal physical appearance, lifestyle, and achievements. In this context, faith, self-awareness, and Islamic digital literacy become essential pillars in maintaining the mental well-being of Muslim Gen Z. This study is expected to serve as a strategic reference for fostering a healthier and more ethical media culture.

Islamic Education in the Digital and Post-Truth Era: Building Mediating Narratives
The digital revolution and post-truth phenomena have dramatically changed the landscape of Islamic education. Truth is no longer determined by epistemic authority but by algorithmic visibility and emotional resonance. This paper explores how Islamic education can construct mediating narratives that bridge tradition and modernity in the digital era. Using a qualitative-descriptive method based on literature review and conceptual analysis, the study investigates the epistemological, pedagogical, and ethical challenges facing Islamic educators. The findings reveal that Islamic education must reconstruct its learning models through three strategies: (1) epistemic mediation — integrating traditional sanad values with digital literacy; (2) pedagogical mediation — developing dialogical learning models that promote critical and spiritual intelligence; and (3) narrative mediation — constructing inclusive digital narratives rooted in hikmah and akhlaq (Islamic Moral). These findings highlight the importance of digital ethics, critical thinking, and spiritual literacy as the foundation of Islamic education in the post-truth era.

Effect of explainable artificial intelligence adaptive tutor on High School students’ motivation and learning outcomes
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has created new opportunities for the development of more customized learning environments. However, students' confidence and involvement tend to decline when traditional AI-powered educational systems lack transparency. This study examines how an adaptive tutoring system based on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) affects high school students' academic performance and motivation. Two learner groups were included in the quasi-experimental framework; one group used a conventional adaptive tutor, while the other group used a XAI-integrated adaptive tutor that was able to fully explain each instructional recommendation. Academic performance evaluations, motivation questionnaires, and system interaction logs were used to collect data. According to the results, students who used the XAI-enhanced instructor had much greater motivation and better learning outcomes than students in the control group. Students' self-control and confidence in their ability to learn were strengthened by the clear feedback systems, which enabled them to understand the reasoning behind instructional assistance. Overall, the study emphasizes how crucial explainability is to fostering learner trust, long-term engagement, and significant knowledge acquisition in AI-supported educational systems.

From 147 articles, 39 studies from 17 countries were synthesised. This is the first multi-continental synthesis. Four main themes were identified: family role, school role, synergy between both, and inhibiting factors. Schools play a dominant role, but family-school synergy and the use of technology remain underexplored. This research contributes that religious tolerance education requires holistic, integrative, and contextual approaches at the primary level in various countries. Further research is important in underrepresented regions such as Africa and Latin America.
فعالية محتوى الفيديو المفرداتي كاستراتيجية لتعلم اللغة العربية في برنامج صباح اللغة بمعهد سونان أمبل العالي
يهدف هذا البحث إلى معرفة فعالية استخدام محتوى الفيديو المفرداتي كاستراتيجية لتعلم اللغة العربية في برنامج صباح اللغة بمعهد سونان أمبل العالي. تنطلق خلفية هذا البحث من تدني دافعية الطلاب والصعوبات التي يواجهونها في حفظ وفهم المفردات، نتيجة لاستخدام أساليب تعليمية تقليدية تركز على الحفظ فقط دون تنويع أو تفاعل. اعتمد البحث على المنهج الكمي من خلال توزيع استبيان مغلق على 43 طالبًا من دفعة 2022–2024. وقد خضعت أدوات البحث لاختبارات الصدق والثبات، حيث تجاوزت قيمة معامل الارتباط (r) القيمة الجدولية (0,2573)، وبلغ معامل ألفا كرونباخ 0,652، مما يدل على أن الأداة صالحة وموثوقة. أظهرت نتائج البحث أن غالبية المستجيبين أبدوا ردود فعل إيجابية تجاه استخدام الفيديو في تعلم المفردات. حيث أفاد 54,8٪ أن الفيديو يساعدهم على فهم معاني المفردات، و64,3٪ شعروا بسهولة أكبر في النطق، بينما أكد 50٪ أنهم أصبحوا أكثر دافعية واهتمامًا أثناء عملية التعلم. كما أشار 40,5٪ إلى أن الفيديو ساعدهم على تذكر المفردات لفترة أطول، واعتبر 45,2٪ أن تقديم المفردات ضمن جمل مفيدة يساعد في فهم السياق. ومع ذلك، أبدى عدد غير قليل من الطلاب موقفًا محايدًا، مما يشير إلى وجود مجال للتحسين والتطوير. خلص البحث إلى أن استخدام محتوى الفيديو المفرداتي فعّال نسبيًا في تحسين الفهم والدافعية ومشاركة الطلاب في تعلم اللغة العربية. ويوصي الباحث بضرورة تحسين استخدام هذا النوع من الوسائط التعليمية بطريقة سياقية وإبداعية لجعل عملية التعلم أكثر متعة وارتباطًا بخصائص الجيل الحالي من المتعلمين
Integrasi Computational Thinking dalam Smart Box untuk Penanaman Nilai Pancasila di SD: Kajian Literatur
Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peluang integrasu Compuattaional Thinking (CT) ke dalam media smart box sebagai sarana penanaman nilai-nilai Pancasila di sekolah dasar melalui pendekatan Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Kajian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya minat belajar dan keterlibatan siswa akibat metode konvensional dalam pembelajaran Pancasila. Dari 35 artikel awal yang diidentifikasi dari database Google Scholar, ResearchGate, dan DOAJ, sebanyak 16 artikel dipilih untuk dianalisis. Temuan kunci mengungkapkan bahwa mayoritas penelitian tentang smart box (14 artikel) berfokus pada peningkatan hasil belajar kognitif dan afektif, namun tidak satupun yang mengintegrasikan CT secara eksplisit dan terstruktur. Sintesis literatur menghasilkan pola integrasi yang menghubungkan empat komponen CT (Dekomposisi, Pengenalan Pola, Abstraksi, dan Algoritma) dengan nilai-nilai Pancasila yang sering ditanamkan dalam konteks pembelajaran, yaitu keadilan sosial, kerakyatan, dan kemanusiaan. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas smart box yang ada (seperti teka-teki, dan penyusunan langkah-langkah) secara implisit telah melatih keterampilan berpikir sistematis, namun potensi ini belum dimaksimalkan. Integrasi CT dipandang sebagai pendekatan hybrid (unplugged dan plugged) yang paling efektif untuk konteks SD di Indonesia. Kesimpulannya, smart box berbasis CT berpotensi menjadi media inovatif yang tidak hanya meningkatkan pemahaman nilai Pancasila, tetapi juga melatih kompetensi berpikir komputasional siswa, sehingga mendukung pencapaian Profil Pelajar Pancasila dan kesiapan menghadapi tantangan abad ke-21.
Implementing child-friendly school principles in early childhood education: a field study on teachers’ practices and challenges
Early childhood education (ECE) is a crucial stage in children's holistic development, covering physical, cognitive, linguistic, social-emotional, and moral aspects. This article reviews the concept of Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) as a framework that places children's rights, protection, and participation as the main foundation of learning. National and international policies such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Indonesian instruments emphasize protection from violence and the fulfillment of children's rights, and UNICEF, through the concept of Child-Friendly Schools, has become the foundation for child-friendly practices in PAUD. Field studies conducted at three different PAUD institutions in Malang show that the implementation of CFS varies according to the local context, with the main supporting factors being the commitment of the school principal, ongoing teacher training, and parental involvement; the main obstacles include limited facilities, resources, and supervisory capacity. The findings indicate that the implementation of CFS improves a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for positive parenting, while also increasing participation, well-being, and play-based learning. In real terms, the study suggests using more flexible and situation-based approaches, improving teachers' skills, and building strong connections between schools, families, and communities to better support the long-term success of CFS.
Lost in translation: The challenge of Javanese students in pronouncing English consonant sounds
Pronunciation difficulties in English often arise due to differences in the phonological system between English and the speaker’s mother tongue. One of the problematic consonant clusters for Indonesian learners, particularly those with strong Javanese accents, is the “gh” sound, which varies in pronunciation depending on the word. This research aims to explore the challenge by Javanese students in pronouncing three variations of “gh”: silent “gh,” “gh” pronounced as [f], and [g]. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through observation and a pronunciation test using a list of 20 English words containing three types of “gh” pronunciation. To gain deeper analysis, structured interviews consisting of five questions were conducted with four students who have strong Javanese accents. The results indicate that the silent “gh” is the most difficult form to pronounce, while the [f] is the easiest for most participants. The [g] variant ranks in between. The main influencing factor is the strong interference of the Javanese mother tongue. These findings suggest that pronunciation teaching for Javanese learners should explicitly emphasize the three “gh” patterns, especially the silent form, and incorporate targeted drilling and minimal-pair practice to reduce first-language interference.
Strategies for Instilling Religious Tolerance Character in Elementary Schools : A Systematic Literature Review
Indonesian is a nation rich in diversity. One of Indonesia’s diversities is religious diversity, which is both an asset and a potential source of conflict if not accompanied by mutual respect. Therefore, a strategy of instilling religious tolerance character from elementary school level is very important to prevent conflict and build character that respect. This study aims to systematically analyze the strategies for instilling religious tolerance in elementary school. This research uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, with data sources obtained from Google Scholar, Open Knowledge, Garuda, Crossref, ResearchGate, and Neliti. The research results show that strategies for fostering religious tolerance can be classified into five aspects: teaching methods, subjects, school culture, school programs, and the use of school facilities. This research shows that religious tolerance education in elementary schools can be implemented in many ways, enabling the formation of students' characters that value diversity and fostering a harmonious and peaceful school environment.

Kajian ini juga memberikan rekomendasi bagi guru dan pengembang media untuk merancang media AR yang sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa SD/MI dan kebutuhan pembelajaran IPS.
Value management and the practice of Arabic naming in the moral formation of Ma’had Al-jāmi‘ah students
This study addresses the limited exploration of value management practices within Islamic educational institutions, particularly in the context of traditions that shape students’ character development. One such practice is the assignment of Arabic names at Ma’had al-Jāmi‘ah, which has not been widely examined beyond its symbolic role. The purpose of this research is to analyze how this naming tradition functions as a medium for instilling moral and spiritual values in students.A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving institutional leaders, mentors, and students. Data were analyzed to identify patterns of value internalization associated with the meanings embedded in the names.The findings reveal that Arabic naming serves as an educational strategy that promotes spiritual awareness, disciplined conduct, and social responsibility. Value management is implemented through systematic planning, daily habituation, and continuous behavior evaluation aligned with the semantic and moral dimensions of each name. The integration of Arabic cultural symbolism with Islamic ethical principles creates a learning environment that strengthens students’ moral and spiritual integrity.These results demonstrate that culturally rooted traditions can play a significant role in shaping value-based Islamic education. The naming practice at Ma’had al-Jāmi‘ah offers a sustainable model for character formation grounded in local culture and religious identity.
بناء النوع الاجتماعي في كتاب اللغة العربية "العربية للناشئين" من منظور النسوية اللغوية لديبورا كامير
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل بناء تمثيل النوع الاجتماعي في كتاب "العربية للناشئين"، المجلدات من الأول إلى الثالث، المستخدم على نطاق واسع في مستوى المدارس الثانوية. وتنبع هذه الدراسة من الميل إلى تمثيل غير متساوٍ للأدوار الاجتماعية للذكور والإناث في النص والرسوم التوضيحية، مما قد يؤدي إلى إعادة إنتاج أيديولوجية أبوية من خلال مواد تعلم اللغة العربية. يركز البحث على دراسة كيفية تشكيل خيارات اللغة وهياكل الخطاب والرسوم التوضيحية المرئية في الكتاب المدرسي لتكوينات النوع الاجتماعي، بالإضافة إلى كيفية عمل علاقات القوة والأيديولوجية داخلها من خلال عدسة النسوية اللغوية لديبورا كاميرون.هذه الدراسة هي دراسة بحثية نوعية في المكتبات، حيث تتمثل مصادر البيانات الأساسية في النصوص والحوارات والرسوم التوضيحية في كتاب "العربية للناشئين"، المجلدات من الأول إلى الثالث. وقد جُمعت البيانات من خلال تقنيات التوثيق والقراءة الدقيقة للنصوص التي تحتوي على عناصر تمثيل النوع الاجتماعي. تم إجراء تحليل البيانات استقرائيًا باستخدام نموذج مايلز وهوبرمان (تكثيف البيانات وعرض البيانات واستخلاص النتائج) جنبًا إلى جنب مع الإطار اللغوي النسوي لديبورا كاميرون. تم الحفاظ على صحة البيانات من خلال التثليث المصدر والنظرية، بالإضافة إلى القراءة بين النصوص للبحوث السابقة. تشير نتائج الدراسة إلى أن تمثيل النوع الاجتماعي في الكتاب المدرسي متحيز وأبوي. يتم تقديم الرجال كفاعلين ومبادرين للخطاب وفاعلين في المجالات العامة مثل المدرسة والعمل والأنشطة الاجتماعية، بينما يتم تمثيل النساء في كثير من الأحيان في المجال المنزلي كأمهات أو مقدمي رعاية أو شخصيات داعمة. بصريًا، تعزز الرسوم التوضيحية أيضًا هيمنة الذكور في المجال العام وتقلل من وجود المرأة في السياقات المهنية. يشير هذا الاتجاه إلى أن اللغة في الكتاب المدرسي تعمل كوسيلة أيديولوجية تعزز المعايير الجنسانية التقليدية.

Strategi Self-Regulated Learning Dalam Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berbicara Bahasa Arab Mahasiswa Berprestasi Di Perguruan Tinggi
This study aims to explore the self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies employed by high-achieving students in enhancing their Arabic speaking skills (maharah al-kalam) at the State Islamic University of Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This research adopts a case study approach. The participants consisted of eleven students who, within the past five years, have achieved national and international recognition in maharah al-kalam competitions. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman continuously until data saturation was reached. The validity of the data was ensured through triangulation of techniques and time. The findings reveal three main aspects: First, high-achieving students implement SRL through planning and learning organization, such as preparing regular speaking practice schedules, managing their learning environment, and participating in formal training. Second, they perform independent learning by engaging in direct speaking practice, utilizing digital media, strengthening vocabulary and grammatical structures, and maintaining motivation. Third, they conduct self-reflection and motivation reinforcement through self-evaluation using recordings, receiving peer feedback, and reflecting on competition results. The implementation of these three SRL components significantly contributes to the enhancement of Arabic speaking skills among high-achieving students.
Unlocking the Power of Digital Games in Arabic Language Acquisition: A Meta-Analysis Across Educational Levels
This study examines the effect of digital game-based learning (DGBL) on Arabic language acquisition and the moderating role of school level. Although digital games are increasingly used in education, their impact across grade levels remains underexplored. The study aims to measure the effect size of digital games on Arabic learning outcomes at different school levels and to determine whether these levels shape the effectiveness of DGBL. A meta-analysis of 19 studies was conducted to assess the impact. The results show that digital games significantly improve Arabic language acquisition, with the strongest effects at the Junior High School level, followed by University and Junior High School. Primary School learners show a smaller but still positive effect. These findings indicate that older learners gain more from digital games, likely due to greater cognitive maturity and familiarity with digital tools. This study contributes to research on digital learning by demonstrating how age and educational context influence DGBL outcomes. However, the study is limited by the small number of included studies and its focus on Arabic. Future research should explore other subjects and evaluate long-term outcomes of digital game-based learning in diverse settings.

Tantangan dan Solusi Ma’had dalam Pembentukan Karakter Mahasantri pada Era Digital
As an Islamic educational institution responsible for shaping the character of mahasantri, Ma'had encounters several challenges in the digital era. These issues include weakened discipline, limited Islamic-based digital literacy, and declining digital ethics. These issues have been caused by unrestricted access to information, intensive use of digital media, and shifting social interaction patterns. This study aims to identify the main problems faced by ma’had in the digital era. To conduct this research, a qualitative literature review was used to examine between 16 and 30 national journals published between 2021 and 2025. The focus of these journals was Islamic education, digital literacy, character formation, and Islamic boarding school-based learning. These sources were selected based on specific criteria, such as thematic relevance, publication date, and methodological credibility. For the purpose of digital character development, the data was combined through thematic analysis to identify key issues and suggested solutions. The study's findings reveal three main issues: (1) digital ethics that affects online ethics and actions; (2) Islamic digital literacy which makes it difficult for students to analyze and assess online information; and (3) discipline and time management that is ineffective due to the use of gadgets that is ineffective. This study further indicates that this issue can be resolved by developing an Islamic digital literacy curriculum that enhances Islamic digital literacy. In conclusion, this study provides theoretical and practical contributions by providing an integrated framework for character formation in the digital era of Islamic education. It also emphasizes the role of Ma'had as a relevant and strategic institution in cultivating ethical, disciplined, and digitally literate students in the modern era.

تأثير التفاعل الاجتماعي في مهارة الكلام: المراجعة المنهجية للأدب حول تعليم اللغة العربية بوصفها لغةً ثانية
This article examines the influence of social interaction on the speaking skills and communicative competence of learners of Arabic as a second language through a PRISMA-based systematic literature review (SLR) of publications from 2015 to 2025. Of the 573 initial findings, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed thematically, covering interaction types (teacher–student, student–student, and digital), competency dimensions (linguistic, sociolinguistic, discourse, strategic), and learning designs. The synthesis shows that social interaction—both face-to-face and technology-mediated—consistently increases engagement, noticing, and pushed output, thereby strengthening language fluency and accuracy. These findings are consistent with the Input Hypothesis (Krashen) and the Interaction Hypothesis (Long) and confirm the role of the language environment as a mediator between interaction and communication achievement. In the context of Gen Z and the digital ecosystem, online communities expand language exposure beyond the classroom but require digital literacy and multitasking management. Pedagogical implications include shifting the teacher's role to that of a social facilitator, assigning collaborative tasks, explicitly integrating pragmatic exercises (speech acts, politeness), and utilizing interactive media. Research gaps include the need for cross-level longitudinal causal testing of proficiency and pragmatic outcome measurement. The findings provide applicable recommendations for the design of socially and digitally adaptive communicative curricula.
تحليل الاختلافات في الذكاء العاطفي بين طلاب المدارس الداخلية والخارجية في مواجهة تحديات الحياة: دراسة حالة في معهد والى صاعا عابر
تخلق الحياة في المدارس الداخلية تجارب عاطفية فريدة للطلاب. فهم لا يتعلمون الدين فحسب، بل يجب أن يكونوا قادرين على التكيف مع مختلف الشخصيات والمواقف والضغوط التي تنشأ في الحياة اليومية. يعيش الطلاب الذين يقيمون في المدارس الداخلية شعورًا بالانتماء والانضباط العالي، بينما يواجه الطلاب الذين لا يقيمون في المدارس الداخلية تحديات مختلفة من خلال تفاعلاتهم مع عائلاتهم وبيئاتهم خارج المدرسة الداخلية. تؤدي هذه الاختلافات في الخلفية إلى اختلافات في كيفية فهمهم لإمكاناتهم العاطفية وإدارتها. باستخدام نهج وصفية نوعية من خلال دراسات الحالة، تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى استكشاف كيفية تطوير طلاب المدارس الداخلية والخارجية لذكائهم العاطفي عند مواجهة مواقف مختلفة في معهد والى صاعا عابر الإسلامية الداخلية. تم جمع البيانات من خلال المقابلات والملاحظات والتوثيق، ثم تم تحليلها حسب الموضوع بناءً على خمسة جوانب رئيسية للذكاء العاطفي: الوعي الذاتي، والتحكم في النفس، والتحفيز، والتعاطف، والمهارات الاجتماعية. وقد وجدت هذه الدراسة أن طلاب المدارس الداخلية مدربون بشكل أفضل على تنظيم عواطفهم وتطوير التعاطف من خلال التفاعل الاجتماعي المكثف والحياة الجماعية في المدرسة الداخلية، بينما يظهر طلاب المدارس غير الداخلية وعيًا ذاتيًا أقوى بسبب قربهم من عائلاتهم وتجاربهم الاجتماعية الأكثر تنوعًا. على الرغم من اختلاف تجاربهم، يظهر كلا المجموعتين قدرة جيدة على التكيف مع ضغوط وتحديات الحياة. تؤكد هذه النتائج على أهمية البيئة الاجتماعية ونمط الحياة في تشكيل الذكاء العاطفي للطلاب، وتوفر أساسًا للمدارس الداخلية الإسلامية لتنمية العاطفة وبناء الشخصية لدى الطلاب.

The influences of marketing mix(7p), perceived quality, and product knowledge on consumer purchase intention of chinese domestic brands in mobile phones in fujian province, China
Consumers' purchasing intentions heavily influence the scale of domestic brands in China's fiercely competitive smartphone market. This study examines the impact of the marketing mix (7Ps), perceived quality, and product knowledge on consumers' purchase intention for domestic mobile phone brands in Fujian. A quantitative survey was conducted with 400 consumers from urban and rural areas, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Demographic factors such as age, education, income, occupation, work experience, and work location are found to have a significant influence on purchase intention, whereas gender, residency, and work position do not. Product, physical evidence, and price are the most predictive elements of the marketing mix. Perceived quality, especially responsiveness, empathy, and reliability, has a direct impact on purchase intention. Besides, product knowledge, as represented by the product life cycle, has the greatest impact on consumer decision-making. Seventy-five percent of the variability in purchase intention can be explained, pointing to the significance of the findings. These results offer valuable implications for local smartphone manufacturers: optimize their marketing strategies, improve perceived quality, and leverage consumer knowledge to reinforce market control.

Transparency about the use of AI tools should be enclosed. The challenges are misinterpretation and bias. Ethical aspects of using AI in medical writing are tranparency, preventing misinterpretation, reliable, accurate, and free from bias. The efficiency of using AI-assited writing is time management. In conclusion, by balancing efficiency and ethical responsibility, researchers can harness the benefits of AI while maintaining the highest standards of ethics and integrity.
Integrating AI into EFL writing: Insights from Islamic higher education institutions
Currently, AI-based tools such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, and QuillBot are increasingly used by students to assist in academic writing. Previous research has shown that these tools can enhance fluency, grammar accuracy, and writing motivation. However, most of these studies have not addressed the context of Islamic educational institutions, where ethical and religious values play an essential role. This study explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) academic writing classes at an Islamic tertiary institution, focusing on student and teacher perspectives. Employing a qualitative methodology with thematic analysis, the research investigates perceived benefits, challenges, and strategies for integrating AI, alongside the influence of Islamic ethical values. Findings reveal that AI applications such as ChatGPT and Grammarly enhance writing accuracy, vocabulary, and student motivation but also introduce concerns related to reliability and academic integrity. Both students and instructors adopt adaptive practices that align with core Islamic principles of amanah (trustworthiness), ikhlas (sincerity), and ʿadl (justice) to ensure responsible and ethical use of AI in learning. This study contributes to the development of pedagogical strategies that harmonize technological advancements with religious and moral frameworks, fostering effective and ethically sound academic writing instruction in Islamic higher education contexts
Sustainability and educational practice: a perspective from Japan
This paper considers issues of sustainability in Japanese tertiary education from two viewpoints, namely whether the current high number of institutions relative to the declining youth population is likely to remain unchanged, and how Japanese universities do or do not engage in educational efforts to teach and research sustainability as a field. As such, the paper brings together two meanings of sustainability – that is, the sense of continuation, and that of furnishing a means of support – and then shows how, in the Japanese case, they are somewhat related due to historical, cultural, and religious reasons. With regard to the question of all current universities remaining open into the future, the available data is not particularly positive, and this may be especially true for privately-run institutions founded with religious principles at heart. As for teaching and researching sustainability, the picture is rather better, especially at public universities or at private universities willing to form partnerships with external organizations with relevant expertise. The paper concludes by describing a modestly successful program that might act as an exemplar for institutions seeking to create new sustainability-related programs for their own students. The Global Leadership Program collaborates with the local UN-Habitat Office, and sends its students to various domestic and international locations to work on sustainability issues.
Artificial Intelligence and the impact of Ethical and Unethical Use of Technology in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a leading technological breakthrough defining the present age. Like other dimensions of human progress, AI embodies both beneficial and adverse aspects, and its influence is extensive and profound. Almighty Allah created humankind, designated them as His caliphs on earth, and placed the universe under their service. When human beings employ the abilities and resources granted by Allah whether in their original state or through the synthesis of different elements-they generate innovations in diverse forms and applications. These innovations arise within the framework of the natural order; which Islamic discourse identifies as Sunnat Allah (the divine laws). These laws are evident throughout the creations of Allah. As humanity advanced from storing information in devices to enabling machines to process and evaluate data, technology reached the stage now recognized as Artificial Intelligence. In this research explore; The way Artificial Intelligent (AI) functions, what is Algorithm? How function in searching, Evolution of AI, explain the unethical and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in the Education and its impacts; like Academic Dishonesty in Plagiarism, Overdependence, Biasness, Inaccuracy, use to violate Education system, Loss of Human Interaction and seeking, inequality, inaccessibility, Manipulation, unfair evaluations in Education, the research also delve the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in the Education sector and its impacts; like fairness in AI algorithms, data security and privacy for students, accountability and transparency in AI decision-making, equality, honesty, and equal accessibility, This study explores impacts of ethical and unethical use of AI in education sector, the research adopts a constructive and analytical approach, grounded in Humanist approach and informed by contemporary scientific observation.
Trends of Religious Moderation Through Islamic Religious Education in Indonesian Universities: Systematic Literature Review
Radicalism was a crucial problem in higher education institutions in Indonesia. To resolve this problem, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia introduced the terminology of religious moderation in 2019. This ministry also provided instructions for integrating religious moderation into universities’ Islamic Religious Education (IRE). After, many studies emerged to examine its effectiveness in reducing radicalism. To synthesize and provide a comprehensive thematic analysis of previous studies, this research examined religious moderation in IRE in Indonesian universities using a systematic literature review method. This research discovered 20 primary literature related to the theme. This research found that the values of religious moderation tend to be tolerance or tasamuh and non-violence. Researchers' strategies and methods to develop religious moderation are varied, such as internalization, ISRA-based IRE, social learning models, and discussions. Meanwhile, the impact of cultivating religious moderation in IRE was able to shape students’ moderate thoughts and attitudes while minimizing radicalism. This research proposed the role of religious moderation in IRE as a means of overcoming radicalism, intolerance, and religious violence in Indonesia. Besides, it allowed educators to articulate strategies and methods according to their capacities. Furthermore, IRE learning based on religious moderation in Indonesia became the best practice for other countries facing problems of radicalism, extremism, and terrorism.
Artificial Intelligence Versus Dosen dalam Persepsi Mahasiswa Terhadap Menjelaskan Konsep Pembelajaran
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi mahasiswa tentang efektivitas Kecerdasan Buatan (AI) dibandingkan dengan peran dosen dalam menyampaikan konsep pembelajaran. Latar belakang penelitian ini berawal dari meningkatnya penggunaan AI, seperti ChatGPT dan aplikasi serupa, dalam kegiatan pembelajaran di kalangan mahasiswa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif, dengan data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner Google Form yang diisi oleh 51 mahasiswa, mayoritas dari Universitas Agama Islam Negeri (UIN) Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, serta beberapa dari universitas lain di Jawa Timur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas mahasiswa (86,3%) secara rutin menggunakan AI untuk membantu memahami materi kuliah. Tujuh puluh empat persen responden menyatakan bahwa AI mampu menjelaskan konsep secara lebih sistematis, jelas, dan mudah dipahami dibandingkan dosen. Namun, 80,4% responden percaya bahwa kombinasi AI dan dosen merupakan pendekatan yang paling efektif untuk memahami konsep pembelajaran. Mahasiswa menganggap AI lebih unggul dalam kecepatan dan penjelasan adaptif, sementara dosen tetap dibutuhkan sebagai fasilitator, motivator, dan pembimbing nilai-nilai akademik. Lebih lanjut, mayoritas mahasiswa (86,3%) menyatakan bahwa dosen perlu mengintegrasikan AI ke dalam proses pembelajaran agar lebih menarik dan relevan dengan kebutuhan saat ini. Berdasarkan hasil ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa AI memainkan peran penting dalam meningkatkan pemahaman konseptual mahasiswa, tetapi tidak dapat sepenuhnya menggantikan peran dosen. Sinergi antara kecerdasan buatan dan keterampilan pedagogis dosen merupakan langkah strategis dalam menciptakan pembelajaran yang efektif, interaktif, dan adaptif terhadap perkembangan teknologi.

Thaharah merupakan aspek fundamental pendidikan pesantren Islam, yang berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai prasyarat ibadah yang sah tetapi juga sebagai media pembentukan karakter Islami melalui kebiasaan kebersihan, disiplin, dan tanggung jawab pribadi. Namun, penelitian sebelumnya sebagian besar berfokus pada dimensi fiqih normatif thaharah dan belum cukup meneliti bagaimana siswa menginternalisasi nilai-nilainya dalam konteks pendidikan pesantren berbasis kampus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat pemahaman siswa tentang konsep thaharah di Pesantren Kampus UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang dan kontribusinya terhadap pembentukan karakter Islami. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif yang didukung oleh analisis kualitatif untuk mengkontekstualisasikan temuan. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner skala Likert yang diberikan kepada 18 siswa dan dianalisis melalui statistik deskriptif, sedangkan tanggapan kualitatif dari item pertanyaan terbuka digunakan untuk memperkaya interpretasi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman konseptual siswa tentang thaharah dikategorikan sangat baik, dengan 100% mengakui thaharah sebagai syarat ibadah yang sah dan bagian integral dari iman. Sebagian besar responden juga menunjukkan pemahaman yang kuat tentang tata cara wudhu (94%), ghusl (89%), dan tayammum (89%). Namun, aspek teknis tertentu—seperti klasifikasi jenis air dan penyucian dalam kondisi khusus—masih memerlukan penguatan. Analisis tematik menunjukkan bahwa thaharah memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pembentukan karakter Islami, khususnya dalam menumbuhkan disiplin, kebersihan, dan pertanggungjawaban pribadi. Studi ini berkontribusi dengan mengidentifikasi kesenjangan antara pemahaman konseptual dan praktis tentang thaharah di kalangan mahasiswa pesantren kampus, suatu isu yang jarang disorot dalam penelitian sebelumnya. Temuan ini menyiratkan perlunya pengembangan metode pembelajaran berbasis praktik, simulasi berbasis kasus, dan media audiovisual untuk meningkatkan kompetensi komprehensif dalam thaharah. Dengan demikian, pendidikan thaharah dapat berfungsi lebih optimal sebagai landasan moral dan spiritual dalam membentuk karakter Islami mahasiswa.
AI and Digital Spirituality: The Transformation of Islamic Religious Education Learning in the Era of Disruption
The era of technological disruption has brought about significant changes in learning processes, including Islamic Religious Education. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education not only provides easy access to learning resources but also creates a new phenomenon known as digital spirituality, a form of religious experience formed through interaction with digital media. This research aims to analyze the role of AI in transforming PAI learning and its impact on the development of students' digital spirituality. The method employed is library research using a PRISMA approach to ensure the selection, analysis, and synthesis of literature are conducted systematically and transparently. The results show that AI contributes positively through personalization of religious learning, virtual spiritual mentoring, expanded access to Islamic knowledge sources, and strengthening digital religious practices. However, on the other hand, AI also potentially weakens spiritual dimensions through risks of fragmentation of religious narratives, reduction of contemplative depth, decreased teacher-student interaction, and the emergence of a hybrid Islamic phenomenon that is not entirely coherent with Islamic traditional values. This research confirms that optimizing AI in PAI learning must be accompanied by ethical policies, religious digital literacy, and teacher mentoring to ensure that the formation of digital spirituality remains within the corridor of authentic Islamic values. Thus, AI integration can become a strategic opportunity to build a generation of digitally intelligent, critically-minded, and spiritually strong Muslims in the era of disruption.
Islamic Education as an Active Mediator in The Vortex of Post-Truth Polarization
The world is facing a post-truth era characterized by massive disinformation and the dominance of emotions, which in Indonesia has been accelerated by social media, creating sharp political and social polarization. This condition threatens social cohesion and challenges the relevance of educational institutions. This study aims to formulate and conceptually justify the new role of Islamic education, namely shifting from a passive-preventive "moral fortress" to a proactive-mediative "active mediator" in facing the vortex of polarization. This study also aims to outline a relevant pedagogical framework and analyze the implementation challenges and long-term implications of this repositioning of roles. This study uses a qualitative approach with a systematic review method. Data were collected from various academic sources such as journals, books, and reports relevant to the post-truth era, polarization, and Islamic Religious Education (IRE). Data analysis was conducted thematically, synthetically, and interpretively to construct conceptual arguments. The results show that the conventional IRE model is no longer adequate to equip students who are vulnerable to disinformation. A repositioning of the role as an "active mediator" is needed, which includes three dimensions, namely self-mediation (intrapersonal), interpersonal-mediation (interpersonal), and public-mediation (proactive). To achieve this, pedagogical strategies must integrate critical digital literacy, problem-solving, and innovative learning models such as project-based learning. The advantage of IRE is its ability to frame these skills within Islamic ethical values, such as tabayyun (clarification) as a conscious resistance to divisive social media algorithms. Although its implementation faces major challenges, particularly in terms of teacher competence and institutional resistance, this transformation of roles is highly significant. Its success promises to strengthen social cohesion and build national digital resilience, as well as contribute to the health of digital democracy in Indonesia
EcoPedagogy As An Implementative Instrument Of Hifdz AlBi’ah to Achieve Cultural Sustainability
The accelerating degradation of global ecosystems highlights an urgent moral and pedagogical challenge for Islamic education to promote environmental awareness grounded in faithbased ethics. This study aims to construct a contextual model of ecopedagogy as an implementative instrument of Hifdz alBi’ah (environmental preservation) to strengthen cultural sustainability in coastal Muslim communities of Tuban, East Java. Employing a qualitative descriptive design within the paradigm of ecoIslamic education, this research utilizes an interpretive phenomenological approach involving pesantren teachers, religious leaders, and community activists. Data were collected through indepth interviews, observations, and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis and triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that the integration of Hifdz alBi’ah into ecopedagogical design operates through three stages: (1) internalization of Islamic environmental ethics, (2) transformation of pedagogical practices, and (3) institutional synergy. These processes generate significant impacts, including the revitalization of ecofriendly cultural traditions, the emergence of new Islamic environmental rituals, and the strengthening of ecological religiosity and social solidarity. The study concludes that ecopedagogy, rooted in Yusuf alQaradawi’s environmental ethics, offers a transformative model linking spirituality, ecological literacy, and cultural resilience. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on Islamic ecopedagogy, while practically it provides a replicable framework for Islamic educational institutions to advance sustainabilitybased cultural development in coastal societies.
Adaptive Gamified Learning through Powtoon for Children with Special Needs’ Body Safety Awareness
Children with special needs often face challenges in understanding abstract concepts such as body safety and personal boundaries. Traditional teaching approaches may not fully accommodate their diverse learning styles and cognitive abilities. This study aims to develop and evaluate an adaptive gamified learning model using Powtoon to enhance body safety awareness among children with special needs in elementary education. The research employed a developmental research design (R&D) using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Participants consisted of teachers and students from a special education school. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed descriptively to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and engagement level of the Powtoon-based learning media. The findings indicate that the integration of gamification elements such as points, rewards, and interactive storytelling within Powtoon significantly increased students’ attention, motivation, and comprehension of body safety concepts. Teachers also reported that the media facilitated personalized learning, allowing instruction to adapt to each child’s pace and needs. In conclusion, the adaptive gamified learning model using Powtoon proved effective in promoting body safety awareness and supporting inclusive education. This study highlights the importance of leveraging digital technology to create accessible, engaging, and value-based learning experiences for children with special needs. The results contribute to the growing discourse on personalized and adaptive learning approaches that integrate technology for meaningful educational impact.
Maslow Based Guidance and Counseling Strategies to Enhance Arabic Learning Motivation in Maahad Tahfiz
In tahfiz-based educational institutions, many students face challenges in maintaining strong motivation to learn Arabic, even though mastering the language is crucial for understanding and memorizing the Qur’an. This study aims to explore the strategies employed by teachers in guidance and counseling to enhance students' motivation in learning Arabic at Maahad Tahfiz As-Sa’idiyyah (MTAS), Malaysia. It also seeks to identify the challenges faced by teachers when implementing the strategies. This qualitative descriptive research employs a case study approach. The research subject purposively consisted of 2 teachers and 10 students. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results reveal that teachers apply several strategies, including humanistic and personal approaches, emotional support, linking learning goals with spiritual values, and forming collaborative learning groups. These strategies align with Maslow's hierarchy of needs, from safety to self-actualization. Challenges include limited time, lack of formal counseling training, varied student backgrounds and lack of support from institution. The study concludes that a holistic and psychologically grounded approach can serve as an effective strategy to enhances Arabic learning motivation in tahfiz-based institutions.

Brain drain or brain circulation: exploring scholar views on working abroad in the era of global mobility
This study seeks to understand the causes and obstacles faced by graduates in the context of brain drain and brain circulation among alumni of Maulana Malik Ibrahim State Islamic University Malang. Brain drain describes the migration of educated people to other places, both regions and countries, due to better job opportunities and quality of life. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach by collecting data through questionnaires distributed to 100 alumni from various faculties in 2025. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics software with descriptive analysis methods. The findings show that the driving and restraining factors have a significant impact on graduate mobility, with averages of 3.69 and 3.85 (high category), respectively. The main driving factors consist of limited research facilities and career opportunities, while the restraining factors mainly include attractive financial income and international meetings. The study concluded that the brain drain phenomenon can be transformed into brain circulation if there are policies that strengthen research and involve alumni globally.
The regulatory lag in English Intensive Course: How do the lecturers manage AI in the classroom?
The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has fundamentally disrupted higher education, creating a pronounced incongruity between technological pace and institutional regulatory response. This study investigates the resulting policy vacuum within English Intensive Courses (EICs) in Indonesia, analyzing the regulatory landscape (RQ1), current instructional practices (RQ2), and the emergent pedagogical strategies (RQ3) employed by ELT lecturers to manage AI integration. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach utilizing sequential semi-structured interviews with seven English intensive lecturers in Indonesia, the findings confirm the absence of fixed, centralized policies, leading to highly fragmented, course-level implementation. Lecturers primarily managed AI through a proactive recalibration of assessment toward higher-order thinking, mandatory process documentation (scaffolding), and the integration of critical AI literacy into the curriculum. This reliance on individual instructor agency, however, generates significant burdens regarding monitoring and ethical arbitration, indirectly exacerbating risks related to academic integrity, institutional consistency, and equity for non-native English speakers. The study concludes that lecturer professional expertise is currently compensating for systemic failures in institutional policy, necessitating urgent standardization and systemized professional development.
Bridging Cultures and Languages: Pedagogical Strategies for Local Language Use in EFL Learning
This qualitative case study investigates the implementation of multicultural-based English teaching in ninth-grade speaking classes at SMP Al Falah Jogorogo, involving ten teacher and student participants. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and analysis of speaking materials. The findings show that tasks built around local traditions such as regional foods, festivals, and greetings, combined with global themes, make speaking activities meaningful, increase motivation and engagement, and help students feel less anxious, speak in longer stretches, and participate more actively. However, inconsistent classroom language policy, limited English exposure, and habitual alternation into Indonesian and Javanese reduce opportunities for sustained English use, increase cognitive load, and slow language development. Multicultural-based materials support gradual gains in vocabulary, fluency, and cultural awareness when accompanied by teacher modelling, group work, and space for students to draw on their cultural experiences. The study argues that culturally responsive EFL pedagogy in multilingual rural contexts requires explicit language-use guidelines, purposeful bilingual scaffolding, and systematically designed multicultural speaking materials. These insights offer a situated example of how multicultural principles can be operationalized in junior high school EFL classrooms and point to the need for further practice-oriented research on material design and classroom language management in Indonesia.
Exemplary Parenting as a Method of Family Education: An Exegesis Approach to QS. As-Shaff [61]:2
This study examines exemplary parenting as a method of family education based on the Qur’anic perspective through an exegesis of Q.S. As-Shaff [61]: 2. Unlike previous studies that generally discuss role modeling (uswah ḥasanah) in Islamic education, this research specifically analyzes exemplary parenting by grounding it in the Qur’an’s explicit critique of inconsistency between speech and action. This clarifies the research gap by showing what earlier studies did not address and establishes the novelty of this study. Using a qualitative library research design, this study analyzes primary sources, including classical and contemporary tafsir such as Tafsir al-Tabari, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir al-Maraghi, and Tafsir al-Misbah, along with a thematic-exegetical analytical approach and secondary literature on Islamic family education. The findings indicate that exemplary parenting serves as the study’s theoretical contribution by linking Qur’anic integrity principles with contemporary family education, showing that parental consistency significantly strengthens the internalization of values, while inconsistencies may lead to moral dissonance in children. The study concludes that exemplary parenting integrates moral, spiritual, and social dimensions and holds practical significance for strengthening contemporary family education amid digital-era challenges. This highlights the study’s conceptual and practical implications and reinforces parents’ roles as primary moral exemplars.
Strategies and Learning Models for Arabic Language Instruction Based on the Independent Curriculum for the Digital Native Generation
The rapid development of digital technology has significantly influenced educational practices, particularly in language learning. The emergence of the digital native generation, who are highly familiar with technology and prefer interactive learning environments, requires a pedagogical transformation in Arabic language instruction. This study aims to analyze the appropriate strategies and learning models for Arabic language teaching within the framework of the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in Indonesia, adjusted to the characteristics of digital native learners. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a literature review method. Data were collected from various academic sources published between 2015 and 2025, including peer-reviewed journals, books, and conference proceedings. The data analysis applied a critical and thematic content analysis to identify key concepts, patterns, and implications related to Arabic learning strategies and models compatible with the Independent Curriculum. The findings reveal that five learning models, Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), Discovery Learning (DL), and Cooperative Learning (CL) are the most effective and relevant for fostering student-centered, collaborative, and technology-integrated Arabic learning. These models align with the 4C competencies emphasized in the Independent Curriculum: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Integrating digital media and interactive platforms not only enhances students’ linguistic proficiency (maharah lughawiyyah) but also improves their motivation, engagement, and problem-solving skills. In conclusion, this study highlights the necessity of implementing digital pedagogy in Arabic language learning to meet the learning needs of digital natives. The integration of technology-based, collaborative, and inquiry-oriented models supports the realization of meaningful, flexible, and future-oriented education in the era of the Independent Curriculum.
Analisis Deskriptif Penggunaan TikTok dan Pembinaan Akhlak Siswa di Madrasah Tsanawiyah QITA
Penggunaan masif media sosial TikTok di kalangan remaja memunculkan kekhawatiran serius terhadap potensi dampaknya pada pembinaan akhlak siswa, khususnya di lingkungan pendidikan Islam seperti Madrasah Tsawiyah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran awal (preliminary mapping) mengenai intensitas dan orientasi penggunaan TikTok. Menggunakan metode studi kasus kuantitatif, penelitian ini melibatkan 17 siswa pengguna TikTok di MTs di Malang melalui instrumen angket tertutup berskala Likert. Temuan utama menunjukkan sebuah diskoneksi menarik: meskipun intensitas penggunaan TikTok tergolong 'Tinggi' (rata-rata 3.71), perilaku imitasi terhadap tren justru dinilai 'Rendah' (2.53), diimbangi dengan orientasi positif yang 'Tinggi' (3.82) dalam mengikuti konten agama dan pendidikan. Hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa pembinaan akhlak yang 'Sangat Tinggi' (rata-rata 4.35) di madrasah berhasil berfungsi sebagai fondasi moral dan filter kognitif, memungkinkan siswa mengembangkan etika digital dan kesadaran muraqabah yang memoderasi dampak negatif platform digital.
Recontextualizing History Education and Islamic Thought Studies through the Inquiry Method in the Post-Truth Era
The post-truth era has generated an epistemological crisis in which truth is often replaced by opinion and emotional narratives amplified through digital media. This condition significantly affects history education and Islamic thought, as it weakens students’ ability to think critically, analyze historical evidence, and uphold moral responsibility in understanding truth. This paper aims to explore the challenges of history learning in the post-truth context and propose the inquiry method as a constructive pedagogical solution. Using a qualitative document analysis approach, the study examines academic articles related to history pedagogy, inquiry-based learning, and Islamic epistemology. The findings indicate that the decline of expertise and the spread of misinformation demand an educational shift towards reflective, evidence-based, and ethically guided learning. The Reflective-Digital Historical Learning model integrates digital literacy, critical reasoning, and Islamic epistemic values such as tabayyun (verification) and tahqiq (deep investigation) to strengthen epistemic awareness. The study concludes that implementing inquiry-based history learning supported by Islamic epistemological principles can cultivate critical, ethical, and truth-oriented learners capable of navigating complex information in the digital age.
Inovasi Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Berbasis Artificial Intelligence: Analisis Platform NahwuAI dan Implikasinya Terhadap Tradisi Nahwu-Sharaf Pesantren
Transformasi digital termasuk perkembangan artificial intelligence membuka peluang baru dalam pengembangan pembelajaran bahasa Arab, termasuk dalam bidang nahwu-sharaf yang mengkaji gramatika bahasa Arab secara mendalam. NahwuAI yang diluncurkan tim riset Universitas Alma Ata difungsikan untuk menganalisis gramatika bahasa Arab. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan dari platform NahwuAI dalam menganalisis kaidah ilmu nahwu-sharaf, memetakan peluang dan tantangan penerapannya, serta menguraikan implikasinya terhadap proses pembelajaran nahwu-saharaf di pesantren. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif analisis isi (content analysis) terhadap tampilan antarmuka, fitur-fitur utama, serta output analisis linguistik yang dihasilkan platform NahwuAI, ditunjang dengan kajian literatur yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa platform NahwuAI memiliki kemampuan cukup mumpuni dalam menganalisis struktur bahasa Arab, dari segi i’rab, tarkib, dan tashrif, serta mendukung pembelajaran mandiri yang fleksibel yang dapat dipersonalisasi. Secara implikatif, NahwuAI selain menjadi peluang strategis bagi digitalisasi pembelajaran nahwu-sharaf, juga menjadi tantangan epistemologis dan pedagogis dalam tradisi pembelajaran nahwu-sharaf di pesantren. Seperti hilangnya hubungan interaksi guru dan murid, mengikis tradisi sorogan maupun ta’liq. Oleh karena itu, pemanfaatan kecerdasan buatan dalam proses pembelajaran perlu ditegaskan sebagai alat bantu yang memperkuat nilai adab, spiritual dan berpikir kritis guna menjaga nilai-nilai pendidikan Islam. Kolaborasi antara pengembang teknologi, ahli bahasa dan lembaga pendidikan diperlukan agar inovasi ini dapat memperkuat, tradisi keilmuan dalam pendidikan Islam di tengah arus digitalisasi global.

Selain itu, website berperan sebagai media interaktif yang memperkuat komunikasi dua arah antara mahasiswa dan dosen. Meskipun demikian, masih diperlukan optimalisasi integrasi sistem digital dengan SIAKAD universitas serta peningkatan literasi digital bagi pengguna agar proses pelayanan akademik digital berjalan lebih maksimal.
Mindful Parenting as an Educational Construction for Children in Single-Parent Families after Divorce
Rising divorce rates have increased the prevalence of single-parent families, yet few studies propose actionable educational frameworks for child-rearing in post-divorce contexts. This qualitative field study (N = 23) conducted in five cities (Indonesia & Malaysia) employed in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation to explore parenting practices and to develop an educational construction model for single parents. Findings show that many single parents implement mindful parenting’s five core principles, they are: attentive communication, non-judgmental awareness, emotional regulation, self-compassion, and compassionate interaction which leading to improved parent–child communication, the internalization of positive values, and emotional maturity in children. We propose a mindful parenting framework as a practical approach to strengthen family resilience and educational outcomes in post-divorce families. Implications for practitioners, counselors, and policymakers are discussed.
Implementasi Program Sekolah Plus Ngaji (SPN) dalam Internalisasi Nilai Religius di Sekolah Dasar Kabupaten Malang
Modernisasi dan masifnya perkembangan teknologi telah me memunculkan degradasi karakter religius pada siswa sekolah dasar (SD). Kondisi ini menjadi tantangan bagi lembaga pendidikan untuk memperkuat pendidikan karakter berbasis nilai. Program Sekolah Plus Ngaji (SPN) merupakan program unggulan di Kabupaten Malang yang dirancang untuk menumbuhkan karakter dan nilai religius siswa melalui kegiatan pembiasaan harian, seperti salat berjamaah, setoran hafalan juz 30 dan doa harian. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana implementasi program SPN dapat menumbuhkan nilai serta mengidentifikasi tantangan dalam pelaksanaannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumen di SD Negeri 1 Jatiguwi, Kabupaten Malang. Informan dipilih dengan purposive sampling, terdiri dari 1 guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dan 5 siswa kelas V yang terlibat langsung dalam kegiatan SPN. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa internalisasi nilai religius dalam program SPN berlangsung melalui tiga tahapan, yaitu transformasi, transaksi, dan transinternalisasi nilai. Tahap transformasi menekankan peran guru dalam mengintegrasikan nilai religius ke dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Tahap transaksi melibatkan komunikasi dua arah antara guru dan siswa disertai dengan keteladanan. Sedangkan tahap transinternalisasi difokuskan pada penanaman nilai religius sehingga menjadi sebuah kepribadian. Kendati demikian, pelaksanaan Program SPN masih menghadapi beberapa kendala seperti kedisiplinan siswa dan variasi komitmen siswa. Namun secara keseluruhan, Program SPN tetap berkontribusi signifikan dalam penguatan nilai religius pada siswa sekolah dasar.
Strategi Literasi Digital dalam Mengurangi Ketergantungan Mahasiswa PAI pada Teknologi AI
Literasi digital menjadi aspek krusial bagi mahasiswa Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dalam menavigasi informasi dan teknologi AI secara bijak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis fenomena pemakaian AI di kalangan mahasiswa PAI, menganalisis dampak ketergantungan terhadap AI, dan merumuskan strategi literasi digital yang tepat. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan jenis studi literatur yang memberikan pemahaman mendalam melalui kajian konseptual dan teoritis dari berbagai sumber ilmiah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kecenderungan mahasiswa PAI dalam untuk bergantung pada AI dalam mengerjakan tugas yang membutuhkan pemahaman konteks Islam, namun kerap melupakan verifikasi sumber utama seperti kitab kuning atau fatwa ulama. Sehingga menyebabkan pemahaman keagamaan mahasiswa menjadi dangkal, menggeser orientasi belajar dari proses menuju hasil semata, menurunkan interaksi antara guru dan siswa, peningkatan kasus plagiarisme digital, dan menurunnya daya berpikir kritis mahasiswa PAI. Hal ini dapat diatasi dengan berbagai strategi diantaranya, mengintregasikan aktivitas membaca yang mendalam, penyediaan sumber belajar bermutu, adanya pelatihan literasi digital, dan adanya rancangan pembelajaran berbasis media digital.
Ecotheological Construction in Islamic Education: A Study of the Ethics of Environmental Conservation and Deforestation
This study examines the construction of Islamic eco-theological values in the Islamic education system, with a particular focus on the ethics of environmental conservation learning and responses to deforestation issues. This study is motivated by the urgency of the global ecological crisis and the strategic potential of religious education in shaping sustainable environmental awareness. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design at Islamic boarding schools in East Java, this study collected data through participatory observation of the learning process, in-depth interviews with teachers, ustaz, and santri, as well as analysis of curriculum documents and syllabi. The findings reveal that the construction of Islamic eco-theological values is built through four integrated approaches. First, the integration of theological concepts such as khalifah, amanah, and mizan (balance) into formal subjects. Second, the implementation of transformative learning ethics that link theory with direct field practice, such as reforestation and waste management programs. Third, the internalization of values through the living Qur'an approach, where students are invited to reflect on kauniyah verses related to environmental damage. Fourth, the ecological exemplarity (uswah hasanah) demonstrated by pesantren caregivers in their daily lives. This study found that effective learning ethics emphasize a humanistic-ecological approach, where the issue of deforestation is not only studied as a technical problem, but as a form of fasad fi al-ardh (damage to the earth) that contradicts the principles of maqashid syariah. The main supporting factor lies in the consistency between the values taught and daily practices, while the main challenge is the lack of structured teaching materials on Islamic ecotheology. This study concludes that Islamic education has strategic potential in shaping comprehensive ecological awareness when ecotheological values are constructed through a holistic approach that combines theological, ethical, and practical dimensions. The findings of this study recommend the development of a systematic Islamic eco-theology learning model that can be implemented in various Islamic educational institutions.
Revitalizing Islamic Education in Bela Negara Universities: Between Ideological Challenges and Religious Value Transformation
Islamic Religious Education in non-religious bela negara universities plays a strategic role in shaping students' moral integrity and spirit of nationalism. However, its implementation faces complex ideological challenges, including campus secularization, plurality of beliefs, and students' pragmatic orientation towards spiritual values. This study aims to analyze the challenges, strategies, and models for revitalizing PAI learning in universities with a bela negara character. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis of PAI lecturers and students at Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur. The results show that PAI learning is still dominated by a normative- instructive paradigm that is irrelevant to the character of millennial students. The main challenge arises from the tension between universal religious values and national ideology, which is taught formalistically through the bela negara curriculum. To overcome this, a model of revitalization of learning based on religious moderation is needed, which integrates national values through a contextual approach, critical discourse, and the use of dialogical digital learning. This model strengthens the internalization of inclusive and rational Islamic values and fosters loyalty to the Republic of Indonesia. This study confirms that the revitalization of PAI learning is not only a methodological innovation but also an ideological transformation that synergizes the spiritual, intellectual, and nationalistic values of students. These findings are an important reference for the development of the PAI curriculum in non- religious universities with a bela negara character
AI in Vocational English Classrooms: Mapping Teachers’ Knowledge, Benefits, and Pedagogical Uses
The rapid progress of educational technology has caused big changes in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction, especially in vocational education. Among these innovations, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a revolutionary tool that is changing the way teachers design lessons, assess learning, and engage students. Although AI has the potential to create adaptive and engaging learning environments, the ways in which vocational English teachers apply these tools to ESP instruction remains largely unexplored. The present study addresses the gap in research on vocational English teachers’ familiarity with AI tools, their perceived benefits, and the challenges they encounter when integrating these tools into ESP instruction. This study draws on qualitative data obtained through surveys and semi-structured interviews involving vocational English teachers in Malang, Indonesia. The thematic analysis was used to analysis and interpret teachers’ attitudes and experiences in leveraging AI tools in the classroom. The findings reveal varying levels of familiarity with AI, categorized as low, middle, or high, indicating different perceptions and practices of integrating AI into ESP instruction. Additionally, the findings indicate that teachers recognize AI’s contributions to enhancing student engagement, supporting personalized learning, and improving lesson efficiency. However, teachers also reported challenges, particularly regarding readiness, the need for continuous professional development, and maintaining a balanced relationship between technology use and human interaction. The study underscores the importance of teacher training and institutional support to ensure that AI serves as a complementary tool that enhances, rather than replaces, the human dimension of vocational language teaching. By offering empirical evidence from a vocational ESP context which is a setting rarely explored in existing AI literature, the study extends understanding and offers practical implications for sustainable AI integration in language education.
Tracing the History and Cultural Dynamics of Kuda Lumping in Ngantang District, Malang Regency
The cultural practice of Kuda Lumping in Ngantang District has persisted for centuries, yet scholarly attention at the sub-district level remains limited. Existing studies generally examine Kuda Lumping as a Javanese performing art, but rarely explore how ritual structures, symbolic elements, and local historical narratives interact within a single community context. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates the historical development and cultural dynamics of Kuda Lumping in Ngantang using an ethnographic approach grounded in ritual performance theory and cultural resilience frameworks. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving 11 key cultural actors, including community leaders, handlers, dancers, musicians, and village elders. Spradley’s analytical model domain, taxonomy, componential, and cultural theme analysis was applied to interpret cultural meanings embedded in the tradition. The findings reveal that Kuda Lumping in Ngantang, introduced in the 17th century through local historical figures, has undergone adaptive transformations while retaining core ritual elements such as offerings, prayers, and trance states (ndadi). These practices illustrate how the community negotiates continuity and change through symbolic performance. The study contributes to Javanese performance-ethnography literature by conceptualizing cultural adaptation within Kuda Lumping as a form of ritual resilience that enables the tradition to remain socially relevant in contemporary settings.
Analisis Peran Akreditasi Dalam Menjamin Mutu Pendidikan Di Sekolah Dasar
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran akreditasi dalam peningkatan mutu pendidikan di sekolah dasar melalui pendekatan literature review. Fokus kajian diarahkan pada keterkaitan antara akreditasi dan mutu pendidikan, tantangan pelaksanaan akreditasi, serta strategi penguatan sistem akreditasi di era digital melalui penerapan aplikasi SISPENA.

The K3N3 Formula in the Implications of Institutional Change Management of PTKIN with a Multi-Aspect Approach
Change management in Islamic higher education institutions presents unique complexities due to the interplay between spiritual values, academic structures, identity formation, and market competitiveness. Despite various transformation efforts, many institutions still lack an integrative framework that links the change process to measurable institutional outcomes. Institutional change in Islamic higher education institutions (PTKIN) is a response to external dynamics such as policies, the labor market, and technological developments. Similarly, internal dynamics are influenced by institutional vision and leadership practices. These dynamics require appropriate formulation to have a valuable impact on the organization. This article examines the implications of change management in Islamic higher education institutions (PTKIN). The purpose of this paper is to explore the implications of institutional change in PTKIN through the case of the transformation that occurred at UIN Sultan Aji Muhammad Idris (UINSI) Samarinda. The research method is a qualitative case study; data were obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, and analysis using NVivo 12 Pro. The results show the implementation of change management systematically it produces structured implications in the form of the K3N3 formula. The K3N3 concept is an abbreviation for 3K (institutional strength, identity strength, market strength) and 3N (competitive value, institutional image value, organizational selling point). Institutional strengthening (structure, accreditation, capacity), identity strengthening (name, philosophy of scientific integration), and market strengthening (graduate utilization) are each manifested as competitive value, institutional image, and organizational selling point. These findings offer a practical conceptual framework for PTKIN leaders who wish to manage institutional change sustainably.
Pendidikan Islam Holistik: Eksistensi Masjid Sebagai Pusat Peradaban Islam Pada Masyarakat Modern
Masjid merupakan instansi yang pertama kali dibangun ketika Rasulullah hijrah dan sampai di Madinah. Di era modern saat ini, fungsi masjid semakin mereduksi sebagai tempat ibadah. Dengan jumlah masjid 800 ribu lebih di Indonesia, sangat disayangkan hanya sedikit yang memiliki fungsi pendidikan aktif, seperti hanya ada 5 perpustakaan masjid yang memenuhi standar, serta 190.000 lembaga pendidikan Al-Qur’an dari total masjid yang ada. Pada masa Nabi Muhammad SAW dan para sahabatnya, masjid adalah tempat dimana setiap kebaikan berasal. Maka dari itu diperlukan kajian teoritis yang mendalam terkait dengan multifungsional masjid secara mendalam. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi tinjauan pustaka, yang bertujuan untuk menganalisis multifungsional masjid, peran masjid yang relevan di era modern, serta bagaimana strategi dalam mewujudkan “Masjid Sebagai Pusat Peradaban”. Peran masjid pada zaman Rasulullah SAW meliputi fungsi ibadah, fungsi pendidikan, fungsi sosial & pemersatu, fungsi politik & pemerintahan, fungsi ekonomi & pemberdayaan, serta fungsi dakwah & pembinaan moral. Tentunya selain ibadah, masjid harus difungsikan sebagai lembaga pendidikan untuk menunjang intelektualitas dan spiritualitas yang berkelanjutan. Maka dari itu dalam mengembangkan masjid sebagai lembaga pendidikan, hendaknya memahami empat prinsip pendidikan berkelanjutan, yaitu pendidikan moral spiritual, pendidikan sosial, pendidikan berpikir dan pendidikan yang sesuai perkembangan zaman. Serta strategi yang dibutuhkan dalam memulai sebuah perubahan harus bisa merangkul semua pihak yang ada.

Building Students' Ecological Awareness: Integrative Design of the Islamic Education Curriculum
The world is facing a severe ecological crisis, evidenced by record-high global temperatures and significant environmental degradation in Indonesia, such as deforestation, poor air quality, and the threat of sinking islands. The purpose is to foster deep ecological awareness in students by integrating ecological, psychological, and sociological theories into the existing PAI framework. This study utilizes a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, specifically a literature concept analysis. Data was sourced from academic articles, books, and journals focusing on ecological theories (Bronfenbrenner), psychological theories (Theory of Planned Behaviour), and sociological theories (Ibn Khaldun) in the context of Islamic education and environmentalism. The research produces a comprehensive, integrative PAI curriculum model. This model systematically embeds ecological, psychological, and sociological concepts into the five core PAI subjects: Qur'an-Hadith, Aqidah, Akhlak, Fiqh, and History of Islamic Culture. The model redefines the teacher's role as a facilitator and collaborator, emphasizes contextual learning methods like Project-Based and Problem-Based Learning, and outlines an authentic evaluation system to assess cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains related to environmentalism. The proposed curriculum model offers a transformative approach to PAI, making it relevant to contemporary environmental challenges. Its implementation can cultivate a generation of students who possess not only ritual piety but also strong social and ecological piety, empowering them to become agents of change for environmental sustainability as a true embodiment of rahmatan lil 'alamin (mercy for all worlds).
Peran Bimbingan dan Konseling dalam Pembentukan Karakter Tangguh Mahasiswa di Era Krisis Kesehatan Mental
Krisis kesehatan mental di kalangan mahasiswa kini menjadi isu yang tidak bisa diabaikan. Peningkatan kasus stres, kecemasan, dan depresi di lingkungan perguruan tinggi menunjukkan bahwa banyak mahasiswa yang belum memiliki ketangguhan mental yang memadai untuk menghadapi tekanan hidup akademik maupun sosial. Layanan Bimbingan dan Konseling (BK) yang ada di sebagian besar kampus sering kali masih berfokus pada penyelesaian masalah individual (problem-centered), bukan pada pengembangan karakter tangguh secara sistemik dan preventif.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk, Pertama, menganalisis peran bimbingan dan konseling dalam membantu mahasiswa mengembangkan karakter tangguh di tengah krisis kesehatan mental. Kedua, Mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mendukung efektivitas layanan konseling dalam meningkatkan resiliensi dan kesejahteraan mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan jenis studi literatur dengan data primer Resilience Theory dari Ann Masten dalam bukunya Ordinary Magic: Resilience in Development dan Psychological Well-Being dari Carol Ryff serta data sekunder dari artikel-artikel nasional, internasional yang relevan dengan penelitian ini. Dengan demikian, layanan bimbingan dan konseling di perguruan tinggi dapat membantu membentuk mahasiswa yang lebih tangguh, adaptif, dan siap menghadapi tekanan akademik dan sosial.
Digital Knowledge, Skills, and Ethics for Elementary School Students in the Artificial Intelligence Era
This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital among students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic elementary school) by considering three principal aspects: knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The research employs a qualitative literature review that integrates digital ethics theory with Islamic values. The findings indicate that (1) an understanding of digital ethics enhances awareness of tawhid and instills a sense of moral responsibility in the use of technology; (2) skills related to digital ethics promote appropriate conduct, accountability, and balance in online interactions; and (3) attitudes toward digital ethics cultivate akhlaq al-karimah and muraqabah, which serve as manifestations of spiritual awareness in the digital sphere. These results suggest that education grounded in Islamic digital ethics can develop students who are both digitally literate and morally conscientious. Consequently, Madrasah Ibtidaiyah plays a vital role in fostering moral responsibility, moderation, and self-awareness in the utilization of technology.
Analysis of the impact of quizizz-based learning, and learning facilities in increasing student learning motivation: integration with SDG.
The low motivation of students to learn in Indonesia is still a major problem in the world of national education. This condition causes a decline in the quality of education, which will ultimately hinder the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), namely quality and sustainable education. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze factors that can increase student learning motivation, especially the influence of learning facilities and the use of the Quizizz application in the learning process. This study uses a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The research sample consisted of 199 students of Muhammadiyah PK Surakarta Junior High School (SMP) who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The results of this study showed that learning facilities had a significant effect on learning motivation by 47.9% (β:0.479 P-Value 0.002). In addition, the use of the Quizizz application also had a significant effect of 31.1% (β:0.311 P-Value 0.046). Thus, it can be concluded that the learning facilities and the use of the Quizizz application have an influence on students' learning motivation. The combination of the two is needed to increase students' learning motivation optimally, so that the SDG4 goals regarding quality education can be realized.
Integrating JSIT and Merdeka Curriculum: Case Study of Islamic Character Building at SDIT Robbani Malang
Islamic character represents the values taught in the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, which include good morals, behavior, and ethics. However, with the passage of time and technological advances, there has been a negative impact in the form of moral degradation, which can be seen from the shift in values and behavior among students. This has given rise to attitudes that are contrary to the Islamic character that we want to embody, causing students to tend towards individualism, egoism, and hedonism. This problem has become a challenge that needs to be overcome in order to restore Islamic character in the current generation. In this context, Integrated Islamic Schools, with the aim of providing character education that is relevant and adaptive to the changing times, are suitable as a forum to address this problem. Integrated Islamic Schools that adopt the JSIT curriculum as a reference in the learning process contain a form of integration from the Merdeka Curriculum. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the integration of the JSIT curriculum in the perspective of the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly in the strategy of instilling Islamic character at SDIT Robbani Malang. This study describes the integration of the JSIT curriculum in the perspective of the Merdeka Curriculum, the strategies applied in shaping Islamic character, and the Islamic character that develops in students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study type to explore in depth the implementation of the curriculum and pedagogical practices in a real context. SDIT Robbani was purposively selected because it actively implements the JSIT Curriculum and carries out structured Islamic character education. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the integration of the JSIT curriculum with the Merdeka curriculum converges on the vision of character education and TERPADU learning. As a manifestation of the results of this integration in instilling Islamic character, SDIT Robbani implements strategies in the form of habituation, cooperation with parents, and role modeling. Therefore, the Islamic character that emerges as a result of the implementation of these strategies is honesty, responsibility, and politeness.
Islam dan Revolusi Digital: Studi Analisis terhadap Fenomena Artificial Intelligence dalam Perspektif Pendidikan Islam
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant transformations in various sectors of life, including Islamic education. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of AI in the perspective of Islamic education, examining the technical, pedagogical, philosophical, ethical, and spiritual aspects that are central to Islamic education. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through literature searches on the academic databases Google Scholar, SCOPUS, ELSEVIER, and Connected Papers with a publication range of 2020-2025. From the initial 40 articles, a systematic selection was made following the PRISMA guidelines, resulting in 20 articles to be analyzed using thematic analysis methods. The results of the study show that AI has significant potential to improve learning access, efficiency, and personalization in Islamic education through applications such as digital interpretation and interactive e-learning platforms. However, serious challenges were also found in the form of the risk of technological dependence, which can weaken critical thinking skills, reduce teacher-student interaction, and erode the values of tarbiyah, ta'lim, and ta'dib, which are the essence of Islamic education. This study concludes that the integration of AI in Islamic education must be carried out in a balanced manner by positioning AI as a means (wasilah) rather than an end (ghayah), accompanied by clear institutional policies, the development of digital ethics awareness, and a curriculum that integrates technology with Islamic values to ensure that AI strengthens, rather than replaces, the essence of Islamic education, which balances knowledge, faith, and righteous deeds.
AI dan Fitrah Berpikir dalam Islam: Menelisik AI 'Comfort Zone' Penyebab Degradasi Akademik pada Mahasiswa
Perkembangan pesat Artificial Intelligence (AI) telah membawa kemudahan dalam mencari referensi dan menyelesaikan tugas akademik bagi mahasiswa. Ironisnya, AI justru memicu tantangan serius seakan-akan menjadi comfort zone (zona nyaman) mahasiswa sehingga ketergantungan berlebihan pada teknologi. Agama Islam sejatinya memandang akal sebagai anugerah Ilahi yang wajib digunakan secara optimal melalui proses aktif seperti tafakkur (berpikir), tadabbur (merenung), dan ta’aqqul (menggunakan akal), sebagaimana yang termaktub dalam Al-Qur'an dan Hadis. Kehadiran AI ini berpotensi menyebabkan degradasi akademik yang ditandai dengan penurunan kemampuan berpikir kritis, problem-solving, dan kemandirian belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara konseptual dampak AI sebagai comfort zone terhadap kapasitas berpikir mahasiswa dari perspektif Islam dan merumuskan upaya pencegahannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kepustakaan (library research) yang menelaah berbagai sumber ilmiah relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dibalik manfaat AI dalam meningkatkan prestasi dan kreativitas, terdapat risiko serius seperti kerapuhan literasi, penurunan kemampuan akademik, dan kelelahan digital (burnout) yang mengancam proses berpikir mendalam. Agama Islam menegaskan bahwa ketergantungan pada AI sebagai solusi instan bertentangan dengan semangat perintah Iqra' dalam Islam (membaca, meneliti, mendalami) dan prinsip menempuh jalan perjuangan dalam menuntut ilmu. Adapun cara mengatasinya yakni diperlukan upaya komprehensif, meliputi: pelatihan literasi digital bagi pendidik, penerapan pembelajaran berbasis masalah (PBL), dan perumusan kebijakan etis yang memposisikan AI sebagai alat katalisator kecerdasan, bukan otoritas.

MAN 2 Probolinggo City provides a microcosm of Islamic intra-religious diversity in Indonesia, housing students from backgrounds such as Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, LDII, and Shia. Despite disparities in worship rituals and religious orientations, the madrasah successfully cultivates a harmonious learning atmosphere free from truth-claims and sectarian biases. This study intends to: (1) explore PAI teachers’ perception of Islamic pluralism in connection to P5–PPRA values; (2) identify P5–PPRA values that support Islamic pluralism; and (3) analyze the integration of these values within PAI instructional methods. Using a qualitative case study design, data were acquired through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that PAI teachers possess a thorough and moderate knowledge of Islamic pluralism, considering differences among NU, Muhammadiyah, LDII, and Shia as part of sunnatullah that must be accepted and controlled properly. Mutual cooperation, tolerance, humanism, critical thinking, and rahmatan lil-’alamin are among the P5-PPRA qualities that were found to support pluralism. These values are integrated into PAI learning through collaborative teaching methods, holistic evaluation of cognitive and behavioral competencies, teacher-led efforts to build students’ motivation and confidence, equitable participation without discrimination, and the use of P5–PPRA as an ethical foundation for classroom culture. Overall, PAI learning at MAN 2 Probolinggo City indicates a good synergy between P5–PPRA and Islamic pluralism, molding students’ religious character to be inclusive, tolerant, and socially just.

Twenty fifth-semester students from an International Class Program participated in the research. The intervention used authentic documentary videos within Discord's collaborative environment. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests, and subsequently analyzed using a Paired Sample T-Test. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' critical listening abilities following the intervention. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test, with 92% of scores being above average. The needs analysis also confirmed that both students and lecturers were active technology users, validating the choice of Discord as an alternative LMS. The results suggest that the integration of the Video Chain-Question strategy within Discord creates a dynamic, interactive, and effective environment that successfully enhances students' critical listening skills.
Pendidikan perdamaian dan teknologi: Strategi untuk memberdayakan Madrasah ramah anaka
The phenomenon of bullying remains a serious challenge in Indonesia’s educational landscape. According to data from the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection, there were more than 12,000 reported cases of violence against children in educational settings, with approximately 28% occurring at the elementary school level. This condition highlights the urgent need for preventive and curative strategies grounded in values and educational technology. The anti-bullying program at MI IMAMI Kepanjen was developed to foster empathy, tolerance, and mutual respect among students. Its implementation includes teacher training, the formation of a prevention team, a digital campaign titled “Stop Bullying,” the creation of student-produced educational videos, and socialization activities involving parents. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the anti-bullying program in strengthening the implementation of the Child-Friendly Madrasah policy at MI IMAMI Kepanjen through the integration of peace education values and learning technology. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the interactive analysis model by Miles and Huberman, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, students, and parents, as well as documentation of case reports and program activities. Source and technique triangulation were applied to ensure data validity. The findings reveal that the program successfully reduced bullying cases from six incidents in 2022 to two in 2024. Furthermore, teachers became more responsive, students were more courageous in reporting incidents, and parents participated more actively. The anti-bullying program proved effective not only in reducing acts of violence but also in strengthening Islamic character and fostering a safe, inclusive, and collaborative madrasah culture. This success was supported by policy reinforcement, teacher role modeling, parental involvement, and the use of technology as a medium for peace education.
Analisis perbandingan pandangan guru PAI berdasarkan gender terhadap penerapan Kurikulum Merdeka
Penelitian ini berfokus pada analisis komparatif implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka dalam Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) di dua sekolah dasar di Kota Malang, dengan tujuan untuk menyelidiki dan membandingkan pandangan guru PAI laki-laki dan perempuan mengenai konsep Merdeka Belajar (Belajar Mandiri), pendekatan pembelajaran yang digunakan, serta hambatan yang muncul selama proses implementasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dengan dua guru PAI berpengalaman yang ada di kota malang, informan pertama guru laki- laki di madrasah ibtidaiyyah dan informan kedua guru perempuan di sekolah dasar negeri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua guru mengemukakan pandangan positif terhadap kebijakan Merdeka Belajar, meskipun dengan perspektif yang berbeda. Guru laki-laki menyoroti dimensi filosofis dan humanis Kurikulum Merdeka, yang mendorong kemandirian spiritual siswa, sementara guru perempuan menekankan aspek praktis dan emosional pembentukan karakter melalui kegiatan proyek dan kebiasaan nilai-nilai agama. Perbedaan ini menunjukkan bahwa gender mempengaruhi cara guru menafsirkan dan menerapkan prinsip-prinsip Kurikulum Merdeka. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan studi pendidikan Islam dengan memberikan wawasan baru mengenai hubungan antara gender dan orientasi pedagogis dalam kerangka kebijakan pendidikan nasional. Secara praktis, hal ini berarti program pelatihan guru dan kebijakan pendidikan harus mempertimbangkan pendekatan yang lebih fleksibel yang peka terhadap variasi pedagogis berdasarkan gender guna mendukung implementasi yang efektif dari Kurikulum Merdeka.
Free education policy and hidden cost inequality: A literature review on indirect economic burdens on students’ families
The free education policy has become a global strategy to improve access to education, but in practice, it still leaves challenges in the form of hidden costs that continue to burden students' families, especially from low-income groups. This research aims to identify the types of indirect costs in free education and analyze their impact on the economic burden of families and access and quality of education. This study uses a library research approach with a qualitative-descriptive design and documentation techniques as data collection methods. Data sources are obtained from scholarly journal articles, books, policy reports, and relevant dissertations, which are analyzed using a thematic approach and content analysis. The results of the study show that costs such as uniforms, transportation, stationery, activity fees, and digital needs become significant burdens for poor families. This has an impact on disparities in participation, achievement, and learning experiences of students. This research concludes that free education is not yet fully economically inclusive and needs to be redesigned to include support for hidden costs. This study makes an important contribution to advocating for education policies based on distributive justice and opens up opportunities for further research with a field approach.
Adaptive learning design based on local wisdom texts in Indonesian language classes: A literature review
This study explores the conceptual integration of adaptive learning design with local wisdom-based texts in Indonesian language education. As learning technologies increasingly emphasize personalization, there remains a gap in how these adaptive systems can meaningfully incorporate Indonesia’s diverse cultural contexts. The research synthesizes findings from 19 national and international studies published between 2015 and 2025 related to adaptive learning, digital literacy, and local wisdom-based pedagogy, using a systematic literature review. The analysis reveals three major dimensions of integration: technological adaptivity, pedagogical mediation, and cultural contextualization. Technological adaptivity focuses on the use of AI, big data, and learning analytics to personalize content and feedback, while pedagogical mediation emphasizes the teacher’s role as a cultural interpreter and facilitator of humanistic learning. Cultural contextualization highlights the significance of local texts, values, and narratives as authentic learning materials that shape students’ identity and moral development. The resulting conceptual model, termed the Culturally Adaptive Learning Framework (CALF), proposes that adaptive learning should be “adaptive by data, humanized by culture.” This approach promotes a holistic view of language education that balances technological innovation with cultural values, aiming to foster literacy, inclusivity, and character formation among Indonesian elementary students.
Parents' Understanding of Junk Food Through Nutrition Education Content
This research is motivated by the increase in junk food consumption among children which is influenced by practicality, taste, and media exposure factors. This condition causes nutritional and health problems, so educational efforts are needed to increase parents' understanding of healthy eating. This study aims to describe parents' understanding of junk food and the role of digital nutrition education content in increasing nutrition awareness. The method used was a descriptive quantitative research with a survey technique using a questionnaire distributed to 135 parents in RW 06. Sawojajar Village, Kedungkandang District, Malang City. The data was analyzed statistically descriptive to see the level of parental understanding and the influence of exposure to nutrition education content on social media. The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents understood the negative impact of junk food on health, especially the risk of obesity and heart disease, and began to try to replace junk food with healthy home-made food.

Perspektif Guru Non Matematika Terhadap Penerapan Numerasi Lintas Mata Pelajaran Di Kelas
Pengembangan numerasi lintas mata pelajaran sering terkendala oleh persepsi bahwa numerasi adalah domain eksklusif guru matematika. Sedangkan sejatinya setiap guru berkontribusi dalam membantu siswa memahami, menafsirkan, dan menggunakan data, angka, serta informasi kuantitatif dalam konteks pembelajaran yang beragam dan bermakna. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisi kekosongan literatur mengenai bagaimana guru non-matematika di madrasah memandang dan menerapkan numerasi, serta faktor pendukungnya. Penelitian menggunakan desain studi kasus melalui wawancara mendalam dengan 4 guru MI dari berbagai bidang studi dari 3 MI yang berbeda yang dipilih berdasarkan kriteria mengikuti Pelatihan Tindak Lanjut Hasil AKMI, pengalaman mengajar lebih dari 5 tahun, bersertifikat pendidik, serta bukan guru matematika. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi kelas, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles&Huberman. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan empat level model Guskey: persepsi peserta, pengetahuan, dukungan organisasi, dan penerapan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada level persepsi, guru memiliki persepsi positif terhadap numerasi dan memahami bahwa numerasi tidak sama dengan matematika, melainkan kemampuan menggunakan angka, data, dan penalaran logis dalam konteks kehidupan sehari-hari. Pada level pengetahuan, guru telah memperoleh pengetahuan dasar tentang numerasi melalui pelatihan dan sosialisasi, namun masih bersifat teoritis dan belum menuntun pada praktik pedagogis. Pada level dukungan organisasi, sekolah belum memberikan dukungan berkelanjutan, seperti forum refleksi, supervisi akademik, atau kolaborasi lintas mata pelajaran. Pada level penerapan, guru telah mengintegrasikan numerasi secara kontekstual dalam pembelajaran misalnya melalui grafik, tabel, hitungan ibadah, maupun konteks budaya lokal meskipun masih terbatas dan belum sistematis. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa persepsi positif saja tidak cukup mendorong transformasi pembelajaran. Implikasi praktisnya, madrasah perlu menggeser strategi dari pengiriman pelatihan sporadis menjadi pendampingan kolaboratif berkelanjutan (continuous mentoring) untuk meningkatkan kualitas literasi numerasi siswa secara substansial.
Strategi Peningkatan Nasionalisme Siswa melalui Implementasi Profil Lulusan Berdimensi 8 di SDN Kota Malang
Penelitian ini mengkaji implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka melalui sebuah inovasi program pendidikan karakter berbasis pembiasaan di SDN Kota Malang. Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah meningkatnya kekhawatiran terhadap penurunan semangat nasionalisme di kalangan generasi muda Indonesia di tengah arus globalisasi dan dominasi media sosial. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk (1) menganalisis implementasi model berbasis pembiasaan sebagai strategi internalisasi karakter nasionalisme; (2) mengidentifikasi tantangan pedagogis dan asesmen yang dihadapi guru; dan (3) mengeksplorasi strategi sekolah dalam mengatasi tantangan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan guru, observasi partisipatif, dan analisis dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Temuan utama menunjukkan bahwa model yang berfokus pada rutinitas harian seperti upacara bendera, penggunaan pakaian adat, dan menyanyikan lagu nasional, berhasil menggeser paradigma pendidikan karakter dari yang semula berbasis projek (seperti dalam P5) menjadi berbasis pembiasaan. Model ini secara efektif mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai nasionalis-religius ke dalam praktik sehari-hari siswa, sejalan dengan tujuan baru Kurikulum Merdeka untuk mencapai Profil Lulusan Berdimensi 8 (keimanan dan ketakwaan kepada tuhan yang maha esa, kewargaan, penalaran kritis, kreativitas, kolaborasi, kemandirian, kesehatan, komunikasi). Namun, implementasinya menghadapi tantangan signifikan dalam aspek asesmen, di mana karakter yang terbentuk melalui pembiasaan sulit diukur secara objektif dibandingkan dengan produk projek. Penelitian ini berkontribusi dengan menyajikan bukti empiris mengenai model inovasi kurikulum di tingkat sekolah dan menyoroti dilema antara efektivitas program dan kesulitan asesmen dalam pendidikan karakter.

The Role of ChatGPT as an AI-Assisted Learning Tool in Teaching Arabic to Students at Higher Education Institution Malang
This study explores students perceptions of the role, obstacles, and impact of ChatGPT in Arabic language learning at three religious universities in Malang City. The method used is quantitative descriptive, involving 152 seventh-semester students from the Arabic Language Education program who have been using ChatGPT for at least six months. Data were obtained through a questionnaire with a 1-5 Likert scale and analyzed statistically using a descriptive approach. The research findings show that ChatGPT is very useful for receptive skills with achievements such as simplifying reading (75%), translating writing (66.5%), and expanding vocabulary (61.8%). However, its effectiveness was lacking in productive skills such as corrected writing (32.2%) and speaking practice (42.7%). The main obstacles encountered included inaccuracies in Arabic grammar (63.8%), limitations in audio and visual features (63.2%), and confusion about plagiarism (60.6%). In addition, difficulties in designing effective prompts (40.7%) and concerns about accusations of cheating (55.3%) are also significant obstacles. The impact of ChatGPT shows that this tool is considered useful (58.6%) and can accelerate understanding (50%), although its effect on overall understanding is moderate (39.5%). This study concludes that ChatGPT has great potential if supported by ethical policies, digital literacy training, and humanistic blended learning models.
Integrating Prayer and Mathematics in Value-Based Mathematics Education
This study aims to explore the integration between mathematics and Islamic prayer through the conceptual pillars of patterns, numbers, and abstraction, framed within a value-based learning approach. Mathematics, as a discipline concerned with numerical operations, structural patterns, and abstract reasoning, provides a logical framework that can be meaningfully connected to spiritual practices. Prayer, as an act of devotion and direct communication with Allah SWT, embodies structural regularity, numerical precision, and abstract spiritual intention, making it a fertile context for contextualized mathematics instruction. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach with a literature study method, this research analyzes Qur’anic verses, classical tafsir, and scholarly works on mathematics in Islamic tradition. The findings reveal that the sequence and symmetry of prayer movements, the fixed counts in rakʿah and dhikr, and the unseen dimensions of intention and focus in prayer parallel mathematical principles of pattern recognition, cardinality, and abstraction. The integration of these elements into mathematics lessons can enhance cognitive skills (pattern recognition, calculation, abstraction), foster positive affective engagement by linking learning to meaningful religious contexts, and cultivate spiritual values such as discipline, mindfulness, and faith. This study concludes that mathematics and prayer are complementary pathways to understanding order in both the physical and spiritual realms, supporting the holistic objectives of Islamic education.

Studi ini meneliti aktualisasi budaya perdamaian di Pesantren Miftahul Huda III di Kepanjen, Malang, dengan fokus pada internalisasi nilai-nilai Islam untuk mencegah kekerasan dan perundungan di kalangan santri. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi yang melibatkan pengasuh, guru, dan siswa. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pengasuh diniyah menumbuhkan akhlakul karimah melalui pendidikan berbasis kitab kuning, didukung oleh strategi struktural seperti bimbingan bertingkat dan peraturan, serta strategi budaya melalui kegiatan keagamaan. Faktor pendukung meliputi kepemimpinan yang teladan, visi pesantren yang menekankan karakter mulia, dan pendidikan moral yang konsisten, sementara tantangan muncul dari emosi remaja, budaya senioritas yang mengakar, dan pemahaman yang terbatas di kalangan siswa baru. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa internalisasi nilai-nilai pendidikan Islam, khususnya disiplin, kasih sayang, dan rasa hormat kepada sesama, memainkan peran penting dalam membangun budaya perdamaian yang berkelanjutan dan mencegah kekerasan dalam kehidupan pesantren.
The Phenomenon of Islamic Boarding School Traditions Against Modernity: A Case Study of Lirboyo Islamic Boarding School from the Perspective of Mass Media and Social Media
The phenomenon of modernity, characterized by the acceleration of information technology and the dominance of digital media, has generated profound social, cultural, and epistemological transformations across various spheres of life including within traditional Islamic educational institutions such as pesantren. This article provides an in-depth examination of how Pondok Pesantren Lirboyo in Kediri, East Java, negotiates its traditional identity within the context of digital modernity. The study focuses on the public controversy surrounding the Xpose Uncensored program aired by Trans7 in October 2025, which sparked extensive public reactions. Employing a qualitative approach within the theoretical frameworks of the mediatization of religion and cultural negotiation, this research integrates Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of mass media coverage with digital ethnography to trace the dynamics of online discourse and public narratives across platforms such as Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The findings reveal that Pondok Pesantren Lirboyo does not reject modernity outright but rather constructs a model of selective modernization a form of critical engagement with technology and digital media that maintains the core values of Islamic ethics and pesantren traditions. The responses of the pesantren community and santri toward the Trans7 broadcast demonstrate a symbolic awareness aimed at preserving moral authority amid media representation disruptions. Meanwhile, the active use of social media by santri and alumni serves as an instrument of counter-discourse against mainstream media framing, simultaneously strengthening the pesantren’s presence and legitimacy within the digital public sphere. This study concludes that pesantren are now transforming into active cultural agents within the process of mediatization not merely objects of media representation but subjects capable of managing their image, discourse, and identity amidst the flux of global modernity. The phenomenon reinforces the argument that tradition and modernity within Indonesian Islam are not in binary opposition, but exist in a dynamic and productive dialectical relationship.
The Implementation of Unplugged Coding Hijaiyah to Improve the Computational Skills of Children Aged 5–6 Years in the Era of KKA
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing Unplugged Coding Hijaiyah worksheets in improving computational skills among children aged 5–6 years at PAUDQ Nurfadlillah Tuban, particularly within the context of the KKA Era (Coding and Artificial Intelligence). This research employed a Classroom Action Research (PTK) design conducted in three phases: pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II. Research instruments consisted of structured observations, computational skill assessment sheets, and documentation of children’s learning activities. The pre-cycle findings indicated that children’s computational skills were still low, as evidenced by difficulties in sequencing, recognizing patterns, and completing tasks based on logic and problem-solving. In Cycle I, after the gradual introduction of the Unplugged Coding Hijaiyah worksheets, improvements were observed in logical and algorithmic thinking through manipulative activities supported by teacher scaffolding. The most significant improvement occurred in Cycle II, when worksheets were applied independently and collaboratively, enabling children to arrange complex Hijaiyah letter patterns, predict solutions, evaluate their steps, and work effectively in groups. In addition to promoting computational skills, the learning process strengthened religious literacy and spiritual values through the integration of Hijaiyah letters into cognitive activities. These findings confirm that the Unplugged Coding Hijaiyah worksheet represents an innovative and effective learning strategy to prepare young learners for the rapid development of digital technology while supporting the formation of Islamic character. This model is recommended as an alternative instructional approach in early childhood education to develop higher-order thinking skills from an early age in a holistic and contextual manner.
Designing an Eco-Literate ESP Syllabus: Integrating Sustainability and Environmental Awareness into English for Fisheries Students
This study proposes an eco-literate ESP syllabus tailored for Fisheries Department students by integrating sustainability principles and environmental awareness into English instruction. Using the ESP course design model of Dudley-Evans and St. John (1998), the paper outlines a systematic process involving needs analysis, syllabus planning, material adaptation, and evaluation. The needs analysis highlights learners’ communicative demands in sustainability-focused contexts such as marine conservation, sustainable aquaculture, and the blue economy. The syllabus adopts content-based and task-based approaches, utilizing authentic environmental materials (e.g., research articles, policy documents, sustainability reports). Each unit centers on eco-related discourse, marine ecology vocabulary, and critical reflection on environmental ethics across reading, writing, and speaking tasks. Existing studies seldom address how environmental ethics, marine-related sustainability content, and SDG-oriented competencies can be systematically embedded into ESP courses targeting discipline-specific communication needs. This study fills that gap by proposing a structured eco-literate ESP syllabus that connects language learning with environmental responsibility in the fisheries context.
The effect of artificial intelligence (AI) intensity on students satisfaction in completing college assignments
The rapid development of AI is influenced by the intensity of its use and the benefits felt by its users. The widespread use of AI without a foundation in literacy and the buying and selling of AI prompts have weakened critical thinking skills. This phenomenon has sparked interest in researching the intensity of AI use among college students. This study aims to analyze the effect of AI usage intensity on college student satisfaction in completing college assignments. This quantitative research uses an explanatory associative research method with simple linear regression analysis to test the independent variable (AI usage intensity) and the dependent variable (usage satisfaction). Data collection was conducted via an online questionnaire On Google Forms for master's students in the Islamic Education Management study program in Tulungagung Regency, with a total of 60 respondents. The results showed a linear relationship between the intensity of AI use and college student satisfaction with completing college assignments. The findings indicated that a one-unit increase in AI use intensity would increase student satisfaction by 0.466 units. The effect of AI usage intensity, as measured by the coefficient of determination, is 26.9% on student satisfaction with completing course assignments. This study concludes that the intensity of AI usage among college students must be regulated immediately so that satisfaction in completing course assignments is accompanied by academic competence and ethics.
Transformative Digital Leadership for Sustainable Islamic Higher Education: Strategies, Challenges, and Opportunities
The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly influenced the transformation of Islamic higher education institutions toward sustainability. Transformative digital leadership is essential in guiding innovative and effective changes aligned with sustainable development principles across both academic and administrative domains. This study explores strategies, challenges, and opportunities of transformative digital leadership in supporting sustainability within Islamic higher education. Through a literature review and qualitative analysis, the findings reveal that visionary, inclusive, and adaptive digital leadership enhances collaboration, improves institutional efficiency, and fosters innovation. Effective strategies include strengthening digital competencies among leaders, integrating information technology into teaching and management, and promoting a technology-based organizational culture. However, challenges such as limited technological infrastructure, resistance to cultural change, and inadequate digital literacy among academic communities remain significant barriers. Despite these obstacles, opportunities exist to build collaborative ecosystems, encourage innovation, and accelerate sustainable practices. The study concludes that the success of transformative digital leadership relies not only on mastering technology but also on the ability to drive cultural and organizational change. It is therefore recommended that Islamic higher education institutions invest in digital capacity building, formulate comprehensive transformation policies, and create networks that promote innovation and sustainability.
Teacher Strategies in Developing Nature Based Inclusive Learning to Realize Equitable Education
This study aims to analyze teachers’ strategies in developing nature-based inclusive learning to realize equitable education at MIS Bilingual Al-Ikhlas Kepanjen, Malang Regency. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed interactively through the stages of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that teachers’ strategies in nature-based inclusive learning consist of three main stages: collaborative planning, adaptive implementation, and personal mentoring. Teachers apply learning by doing, scaffolding, and experiential learning models to foster students’ active participation, empathy, and social responsibility, including for children with special needs (CWSN). The school’s policy support based on the Index for Inclusion framework and the involvement of parents strengthen the implementation of a humanistic and equitable education practice. However, the implementation of these strategies still faces challenges such as limited disability-friendly facilities, curriculum integration, and the readiness of teachers and special education assistants (GPK) in conducting outdoor learning activities. This study recommends the development of teacher training models and community collaboration to support the sustainability of nature-based inclusive learning in elementary schools.

Pendidikan Islam Moderat: Integrasi Nilai Moderasi Beragama dalam Pembelajaran PAI untuk Pembentukan Karakter Toleran Peserta Didik
Dalam konteks masyarakat multikultural, pembelajaran PAI memiliki peran krusial dalam menanamkan dan membentuk kepribadian siswa yang moderat, bersikap terbuka serta menghormati keberagaman. Kenyataannya, internalisasi prinsip-prinsip moderasi beragama pada lingkungan sekolah masih belum terlaksana secara maksimal, ditandai dengan sikap eksklusif dan rendahnya toleransi pada diri siswa. Seperti penelitian di Madrasah Aliyah Kabupaten Kendal menunjukkan bahwa meskipun sebagian besar siswa berada pada kategori toleran, masih terdapat sekitar 23,58% siswa yang tergolong kurang toleran. Kondisi tersebut menekankan perlunya praktik pembelajaran PAI yang tidak terbatas pada pengembangan aspek sekedar pengetahuan, melainkan juga menanamkan prinsip-prinsip tawasuth, tasamuh, dan ta‘addul secara kontekstual dan berkelanjutan. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini yakni pertama, untuk mendeskripsikan strategi dan model pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam PAI yang mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai moderasi beragama, kedua, untuk mengidentifikasi peran guru PAI sebagai agen moderasi dan pembentuk karakter toleransi peserta didik. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi pustaka (library research). Data primer bersumber dari pemikiran Azyumardi Azra, Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, serta Abuddin Nata, sedangkan data sekunder berasal dari jurnal dan artikel yang relevan dengan batasan literatur antara tahun 2020-2025 untuk memastikan relevansi isu sera otoritas akademik Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan teknik content analysis untuk mengidentifikasi tema-tema utama mencakup dimensi teologis, pedagogis, sosial, dan moral. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa strategi pembelajaran kontekstual berbasis nilai dan pendekatan reflektif merupakan metode yang paling efektif dalam menumbuhkan sikap moderat, sedangkan peran praktis guru tampak melalui keteladanan, fasilitasi dialog lintas perspektif, dan pembiasaan respons sosial yang adil. Kontribusi baru penelitian ini terletak pada penyusunan sintesis teoretis yang mengintegrasikan secara komprehensif pemikiran Azra, al-Attas, dan Abuddin Nata menjadi model pembelajaran moderasi beragama yang operasional dan dapat diterapkan langsung dalam konteks sekolah.
A Systematic Literature Review on Strenghtening Nationalism Character in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah
This study aimed to construct a structured knowledge map regarding strategies for strengthening nationalism among students in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI), a level of education uniquely combining moderate Islamic values with a nationalistic spirit. Employing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, the research analyzed 11 articles published between 2021 and 2025, selected from an initial pool of 708 documents found across various scientific databases. The findings confirm that fostering nationalism in MI is achieved through three crucial pathways: (1) Classroom Learning by integrating national values into the curriculum, methods, and teaching materials; (2) Extracurricular Activities such as Scouting and Junior Police; and (3) School Culture, developed through planned programs, teacher role models, and systematic character management. This resulting knowledge map offers a vital conceptual foundation for educators and policymakers to design effective, context-appropriate strategies for national character building in MI students.
Strategi Peningkatan Mutu Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) untuk Meningkatkan Pencapaian Akreditasi
Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk karakter dan kemampuan dasar anak, namun jumlah lembaga PAUD yang mencapai akreditasi A masih tergolong rendah. Kondisi ini menunjukkan belum optimalnya mutu penyelenggaraan PAUD di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor penyebab rendahnya akreditasi PAUD serta merumuskan strategi peningkatan mutu lembaga agar mampu mencapai akreditasi A sesuai standar BAN PAUD dan PNF. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan menelaah 21 artikel ilmiah terbit tahun 2015–2025 yang relevan dengan topik akreditasi dan mutu PAUD. Analisis data dilakukan melalui content analysis dengan pendekatan meta-analisis kualitatif untuk mengidentifikasi pola faktor penghambat dan strategi peningkatan mutu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor utama penyebab rendahnya capaian akreditasi A meliputi rendahnya kompetensi tenaga pendidik, keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana, serta lemahnya manajemen dan administrasi akreditasi di lembaga PAUD. Adapun strategi yang direkomendasikan mencakup penguatan kepemimpinan dan manajemen mutu, pemenuhan delapan Standar Nasional Pendidikan (SNP), peningkatan profesionalisme guru, pengembangan kemitraan dengan berbagai pihak, serta pendampingan teknis dan persiapan akreditasi berbasis digital melalui sistem Sispena. Penerapan strategi tersebut secara konsisten dan terintegrasi dapat meningkatkan mutu lembaga PAUD secara menyeluruh, memperkuat tata kelola kelembagaan, serta memperbesar peluang lembaga untuk memperoleh akreditasi A. Dengan demikian, hasil penelitian ini berkontribusi sebagai acuan bagi pengelola PAUD dan pemangku kebijakan dalam mengembangkan model peningkatan mutu pendidikan anak usia dini yang berkelanjutan.
Disaster knowledge, preparedness, and risk reduction: a comparative study of education and health students
Positioned as liaisons, future teachers and nurses turn disaster theory into community practice. This study aims to compare the knowledge level, preparedness, and disaster risk reduction between education students and health students.. The research approach uses quantitative methods with surveys as a data collection technique. The sample consisted of 84 students of the Social Studies Education Study Program of UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang and 93 students of the Nursing Study Program of Kepanjen University who were selected using the Slovin formula with an error rate of 5%. The research instruments included a four-point Likert scale questionnaire to measure disaster preparedness and risk reduction, as well as a multiple-choice test to assess disaster knowledge. The data was analyzed using percentage descriptive statistics. The results of the study showed differences between the two groups. Education students obtained the highest average scores in the aspect of disaster knowledge, while health students excelled in the aspects of disaster preparedness and risk reduction. These findings indicate that education students are superior in mastering theoretical concepts of disasters, while health students have better preparedness and practical skills in handling disaster situations because health students are more focused on practice than education students who are more theoretical. The next study is suggested to review differences based on gender and add variables of field experience and educational institution support in improving students' disaster preparedness.
