Becoming an Innovative Islamic Education Teacher: Synergy of Teacherpreneurship and Community of Practice
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the synergy between the concepts of teacherpreneurship and Community of Practice (CoP) in improving the professionalism of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers at the elementary school and madrasah levels. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews, and documentation of the research subjects, which consist of PAI teachers, madrasah principals, education supervisors, and students. Data was collected through direct observation of teaching practices, in-depth interviews with key informants, and analysis of documentation related to learning activities and professional development. The results of the study indicate that the integration of teacherpreneurship and CoP has a positive impact on learning innovation and the improvement of PAI teachers' competencies. Teachers who develop entrepreneurial skills in the field of education are able to create creative teaching materials that are relevant to the needs of students. In addition, through active participation in CoP, teachers can share experiences, strategies, and solutions to challenges encountered in the learning process. The role of education supervisors as facilitators in forming and managing CoP has proven effective in strengthening collaboration and shared learning among teachers. The conclusion of this study is that the synergy between teacherpreneurship and CoP is an effective strategy in improving the professionalism of PAI teachers. Recommendations include the need for entrepreneurship training for teachers, strengthening the role of educational supervisors in forming CoPs, and support from madrasahs in providing facilities and time for collaborative activities. Thus, it is hoped that PAI teachers can be more adaptive and innovative in facing the dynamics of education in the digital era.

Madrasas Adrift: Examining the Educational Resource Distribution Gap in North Kalimantan's Border Region
type: item
description: This article examines the gap between the strategic role of madrasas in the border areas of North Kalimantan and the reality of educational resource distribution. Using a qualitative-descriptive library research method with 53 references (19 national and 34 international sources), this study identifies structural, geographical, managerial, and political factors causing disparities in teacher access, infrastructure, and teaching materials. The findings reveal that madrasas in the border areas experience chronic resource shortages, including a 32% teacher deficit, limited internet and electricity access, inadequate physical facilities, and minimal teaching materials. These conditions negatively impact learning quality, student motivation, and the institutional function of madrasas as moral fortresses and guardians of nationalism. The application of opportunity gap theory (Carter & Welner, 2013) demonstrates that border madrasas lack equitable opportunities compared to urban madrasas. This article offers an affirmative distribution model consisting of four pillars: Madrasah Vulnerability Index, direct block grant mechanism, special teacher incentive packages, and contextual border curriculum. The study recommends policy reforms prioritizing equity over equality in educational resource allocation for madrasas in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost regions.

Academic Collaboration in the Era of Globalization: an Analysis of the Impact of Digitalization on Early Childhood Education
type: item
description: This study investigates the role of academic collaboration in improving the quality of early childhood education (ECE) amid the rapid digitalization brought by globalization. The main focus lies in understanding how collaborative academic networks enhance educators’ competencies, expand knowledge sharing, and stimulate innovation in technology-based learning. Using a literature review method, this research examines journals, books, and scholarly publications related to global education and digital literacy in ECE. The findings reveal that academic collaboration plays a crucial role in fostering teacher professionalism and integrating digital tools effectively in early learning settings. However, digitalization also presents challenges such as decreased social interaction among children and increased dependence on digital devices. The study concludes that strengthening academic collaboration serves as a strategic approach to maximize the benefits of digital learning while mitigating its negative impacts on young children’s holistic development in the era of globalization.

Unveiling Digital Religious Phenomenology: the Negotiation of Literacy, Ethics, and Islamic Character Building among University Students
type: item
description: The pervasive integration of social media into university students' daily lives has created a complex digital-religious landscape, necessitating a deeper understanding of how Islamic values are negotiated online. This is particularly critical in Islamic teacher education, where future educators must embody and teach these values. This study aimed to investigate the phenomenological experience of Muslim student-teachers as they negotiate digital literacy, ethical practices (adab), and the construction of Islamic character within their social media ecosystems. A qualitative study employing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted. Data were collected through digital ethnography (observation of 9 WhatsApp/Telegram groups), in-depth phenomenological interviews with 24 students from teacher education programs (PGSD, PGPAUD, Penjaskesrek), and analysis of digital artifacts over 4 months. Three central themes emerged: (1) the contextual compartmentalization of adab, where students applied distinct ethical norms across different digital spaces; (2) strategic value negotiation, employing methods such as silence, private confirmation, or polite confrontation to resolve ethical dilemmas; and (3) a performative-internalization dialectic, where curated displays of piety on public platforms contrasted with more instrumental communication in private groups. Social media functions as a significant pedagogical space for the moral development of Muslim student-teachers, characterized by active negotiation rather than passive reception of norms. The findings underscore the necessity for educational strategies in Islamic higher education that foster critical digital religious literacy, moving beyond normative instruction to support reflective ethical reasoning in digital contexts.

The Strategic Role of Islamic Education in Responding to Social Changes in Coastal Communities: an Interdisciplinary Literature Review
type: item
description: Coastal communities face structural challenges such as economic instability, limited access to education, low levels of religious literacy, cultural vulnerability, weak social governance, early marriage practices, marginalization, and environmental degradation. This complexity hampers their ability to adapt to social change and calls for more responsive educational interventions. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic education in addressing these issues and to formulate an integrative conceptual model that combines Islamic values, coastal social dynamics, and empowerment approaches. Using a literature study with a thematic approach, this research examines academic literature, Islamic education theories, and coastal social studies. The findings indicate that Islamic education holds strategic potential through strengthening contextual religious literacy, internalizing maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, developing adaptive curricula, promoting cultural da‘wah, facilitating social mediation, preventing early marriage, and fostering ecological literacy based on the concept of humans as khalīfah fil arḍ. The resulting integrative model emphasizes the importance of value internalization, social needs mapping, and multisectoral collaboration. This study contributes to expanding a more transformative, contextual, and locally grounded paradigm of Islamic education. In conclusion, Islamic education has the potential to serve as an agent of social transformation in coastal communities, although it still requires strengthened curriculum relevance, improved networking, and enhanced practical implementation to be more effective and sustainable.

Reconstruction of Environmental Fiqh Language Based on Tazkiyatun Nafs: a Sufistic Approach to Students' Mental Health
type: item
description: This study proposes the construction of environmental fiqh language within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as an integrative framework to shape Generation Z characterized by tazkiyatun nafs, Sufi orientation, and psychological well-being. Employing a qualitative interpretative approach with a multi-site design across several pesantren in Indonesia, data were collected through limited participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic-critical and religious discourse analysis. The findings demonstrate that eco-theological language in pesantren operates as a semiotic-performative system that not only transmits theological knowledge but also internalizes ecological values through daily practices. The integration of tawhid, environmental ethics, and spiritual practices fosters faith-based ecological awareness while strengthening students' self-regulation and emotional stability. The novelty of this study lies in formulating environmental fiqh language as a psycho-spiritual eco-systemic model that integrates linguistic, theological, and mental health dimensions into a coherent analytical framework. This model positions pesantren as a living laboratory for developing sustainability ethics grounded in Islamic spirituality. The study contributes to the advancement of pesantren-based eco-theosophy and offers an alternative paradigm in global sustainability discourse rooted in transcendental values.

Deep Learning-Based PAI Learning Reconstruction to Build Students' Spiritual-Reflective Awareness in 5.0 Era
type: item
description: Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a normative role in shaping students’ faith, piety, and moral character. However, its implementation remains largely cognitive, textual, and teacher-centered, limiting the development of students’ affective and spiritual dimensions. This study aims to reconstruct a deep learning-based PAI model to enhance students’ spiritual-reflective awareness in the Society 5.0 era. Using a mixed methods approach with a Design-Based Research (DBR) framework, the study was conducted through iterative stages: needs analysis, model design, implementation, evaluation, and revision. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and reflective journals. The findings indicate a significant transformation from surface to deep learning, evidenced by increased student engagement, reflective thinking, and spiritual awareness. Quantitative results show an improvement in overall scores from 3.05 (moderate) to 4.2 (high), while qualitative data reveal shifts in students’ perspectives from exam-oriented learning to meaningful spiritual understanding. The integration of experiential learning, reflective inquiry, and spiritual internalization proved effective in fostering self-reflection (muhasabah) and value internalization. Furthermore, the model demonstrates strong relevance to Society 5.0 by integrating technology with humanistic and spiritual values. This study concludes that deep learning-based PAI reconstruction is a strategic approach to developing holistic, reflective, and spiritually aware learners.

Family Engagement in Qur’anic Learning: Improving Students’ Reading Skills Through the Ummi Methode
type: item
description: One of the innovations that has developed is the textbook for learning how to read the Qur'an, the Ummi method, which is widely implemented in Qur'anic education. However, family engagement in supporting Qur’anic learning remains underexplored, despite its significant role in children’s achievement. This study aims to examine the forms of family involvement, supporting strategies, students’ reading achievements, and the enabling and inhibiting factors in the application of the Ummi Method. Using a qualitative case study design at TPQ Tanwirul Ma’arif, Lamongan, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings indicate that families actively contribute through daily mentoring, spiritual motivation, provision of learning facilities, participation in parent forums, and parent training. Strategies include collaboration with teachers, role modeling, reward and punishment systems, and strengthening religious values. As a result, more than 95% of students achieved fluency, tajwid accuracy, and reading confidence. The study contributes to the theoretical development of family engagement in Islamic education by institutionalizing parental roles through parent forums and training programs and offers a practical model of family-institution partnership replicable in other institutions

Ibn Sina’s Philosophy of Islamic Education: Concept, Purpose, and Character Formation in the Digital Age
type: item
description: In the era of digitalization, the concept and goal of Islamic education in developing student character has a significant impact on educational growth. In order for students to be prepared for the digital era with better integrity, competence, and good character, educators must be cautious in the learning techniques and curriculum that are taught to the students. This is in line with the idea put forth by the scientist Ibn Sina that moral education should be emphasized together with attempts to prepare a person to live in society while engaging in the career or field of expertise of their choice based on their talents and ability. The goal of this research is to help students reach their full potential in terms of physical, intellectual, and character development. The descriptive qualitative method was applied in this study, and the data was gathered through a literature review. According to the findings of this study, teachers must adopt practical teaching techniques and curriculum, as well as divide learning grade levels based on student age and ability, and teachers must familiarize themselves with examples of excellent behaviour and character in the presence of students every day

The Effect of Dice-Based Reading Media on Early Literacy Skills of Children
type: item
description: Early reading skills constitute a critical foundation for literacy development in early childhood. Despite their importance, early reading instruction at the PAUD level often relies on conventional methods that are insufficiently engaging, resulting in low motivation and limited skill acquisition. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using reading dice media on the early reading abilities of young learners. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model was employed. The participants were a cohort of early childhood children at PAUD TKM 05 Bahrul Ulum Lamongan. Early reading skills, including letter recognition, syllable decoding, and simple word reading, were assessed using standardized observation sheets. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were used to analyze the data. The results indicated significant improvements in early reading abilities following the implementation of reading dice, accompanied by increased engagement, enthusiasm, and participation in learning activities. These findings suggest that reading dice provide an effective, play-based instructional medium that facilitates early reading acquisition and enhances learner motivation. The study contributes to the development of innovative instructional strategies in early childhood education, particularly in contexts requiring active and interactive learning approaches.

Quality Assurance in Integrated Islamic Schools: Synergy Between National Accreditation and Internal Licensing System
type: item
description: Improving the quality of Integrated Islamic Schools (SIT) has become a pressing issue amid the dynamics of national education policy. To date, national accreditation managed by BAN-PDM functions as an external quality standard, while the Integrated Islamic School Network (JSIT) implements an internal licensing system as an additional instrument. This situation raises an academic question: what role does JSIT licensing play in complementing national accreditation as a strategy for enhancing SIT quality? This study seeks to address this question by examining the position and relevance of JSIT licensing within the broader context of educational accreditation. The research employs a literature review method with content analysis of books, national and international scholarly articles, as well as official documents issued by BAN-PDM and JSIT, particularly publications from 2019 to 2024 that are pertinent to the quality of Islamic education. The findings reveal that national accreditation emphasizes eight general standards, whereas JSIT licensing introduces eleven standards with a particular focus on the integration of Islamic values, leadership, and student development. The integration of both systems creates a significant synergy between external legitimacy and internal consistency. This study contributes to strengthening the quality of Islamic education by underscoring that the dual framework of accreditation and licensing is complementary rather than duplicative.

Islamic Education Institutions and Sustainable Inclusive Education: Challenges and Prospects
type: item
description: This study aimed to analyze the future of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) institutions in realizing sustainable, inclusive, and Islamic value-based education. The focus was directed to how PAI institutions responded to global dynamics, social challenges, and the need for curriculum and educational management transformation in the modern era. Specifically, the study explored the strategic role of PAI in twenty-first-century education, while also identifying institutional obstacles, opportunities, and directions for reform. The method employed was library research with a descriptive qualitative approach, using scientific literature, reputable journals, academic books, and educational policy documents, which were analyzed through content analysis. The findings indicated that the future of PAI institutions largely depended on their ability to integrate principles of sustainable education, Islamic inclusivity, and adaptive governance. The novelty of this research lay in formulating an integrative and contextual conceptual framework for PAI institutions, making it relevant to twenty-first-century challenges. The results emphasized the urgency of institutional reform so that PAI could support equitable, participatory education rooted in the values of rahmatan lil ‘alamin.

The Genealogy of Philosophy as the Foundation of Science: A Literature Study on History, Terminology, and Classification
type: item
description: This study investigates the historical and conceptual interconnections between philosophy and science as epistemological foundations. Employing a literature-based approach, it traces how philosophy has not only served as the origin of scientific disciplines but also continues to provide a reflective, critical, and normative framework for their development. The findings suggest that science has never been entirely autonomous; it consistently relies on philosophical assumptions concerning reality, logic, and truth. Comparative insights from Western and Eastern traditions enrich the epistemological discourse, combining rational analysis with holistic perspectives. Case studies on the role of philosophy in research ethics such as the Nuremberg Code, Hans Jonas’s ethical reflections, and social hermeneutics highlight its enduring relevance in safeguarding science as a humane and responsible endeavor. The study concludes that a comprehensive understanding of science is unattainable without engaging its philosophical genealogy, and that the integration of philosophy and science is indispensable for building knowledge that is value-conscious, reflective, and sustainable

Al-Ghazali’s Ethical Paradigm and Its Relevance in Aqidah Akhlak Instruction at Islamic Boarding School Based Madrasah Aliyah Tarbiyatut Tholabah
type: item
description: In the current educational landscape, many madrasahs are striving to integrate character education into their curricula. Applying Al-Ghazali’s educational thought to the Aqidah Akhlaq curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah is expected to contribute positively to character education in Indonesia. This study not only explores theoretical dimensions but also offers practical recommendations for educators and policymakers in designing more effective curricula. As Raqib has argued, in-depth research on the integration of Islamic values in education can open opportunities to improve the quality of education in Muslim-majority countries. This research employs a comprehensive literature review encompassing books, articles, journals, and research reports relevant to curriculum theory, character education, and Al-Ghazali’s ideas, as well as an analysis of the operational curriculum documents of Madrasah Aliyah Tarbiyatut Tholabah. Literature analysis is an effective method for collecting extensive information and providing a broader context for the issues under investigation. The findings indicate that curriculum development informed by Al-Ghazali’s perspective significantly influences the Aqidah Akhlaq curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah Tarbiyatut Tholabah. His ethical framework is not only relevant to character formation but also supports the creation of a more conducive learning environment. These findings imply that integrating moral values into education can enhance overall educational quality and prepare a generation that is not only intellectually competent but also possesses strong moral integrity

Integration of Takhassus Tahdiz Program into the Islamic Education Curriculum: a Case Study at Mts Tarbiyatut Tholabah
type: item
description: The integration of the Takhassus Tahfidz program into the Islamic education curriculum represents a systemic effort to unify Qur’anic memorization with the structure of formal education, aiming to strengthen students’ spiritual dimension and religious character. At MTs Tarbiyatut Tholabah Lamongan, this program is comprehensively implemented as part of the core curriculum rather than merely an extracurricular activity. This study aims to identify the tahfidz learning strategies employed and to analyze the supporting factors contributing to students’ memorization achievements within a pesantren-based school context. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews and classroom observations of the program’s implementation in Grade VIII F, focusing on planning, execution, and evaluation of instruction. The findings indicate that the program’s success is supported by an integrative curriculum design, contextual pedagogical strategies, the involvement of tahfidz instructors as spiritual mentors, and strong managerial support from the institution. Grade VIII F exceeded its memorization targets, demonstrating that the adopted approach effectively fosters student discipline, spirituality, and academic achievement.

Religious Moderation in Islamic Religious and Character Education Textbooks for Senior High Schools in Indonesia
type: item
description: Issues of radicalism and intolerance are currently increasingly rampant in Indonesia, this is due to the condition of the nation with its own diversity, namely the diversity of tribes, cultures, regions, languages, and most importantly religion. Therefore, it is urgent to instill in students in the learning process about religious moderation materials to anticipate the emergence of radicalism and intolerance. The purpose of this study was to identify the content of Islamic religious education textbooks at the senior high school level in Indonesia about religious moderation and how the concept of religious moderation is contained in the textbook. The results of the study show that Islamic religious education textbooks at the senior high school level in Indonesia have included indicators of religious moderation with one theme, namely Morals. Based on quantity, the material on religious moderation in this Islamic religious education book is still small and still has great potential to be developed, but conceptually this book presents the instillation of a good mindset about morals or moral reasoning ability to deal with issues of religious moderation

Pedagogic Competence as a Key Factor in the Successful Implementation of the PAI Curriculum
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the implementation of the Islamic Religious Education Curriculum (PAI) and the influence of teachers' pedagogic competence on learning and student character formation. Good pedagogic competence of teachers is believed to improve the quality of PAI teaching, which is not only focused on the cognitive aspect but also on the character aspect of students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a type of case study that involves direct observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation related to the implementation of the curriculum in several schools. The results of the study show that although the PAI curriculum is well structured and in accordance with the needs, several significant challenges are found, such as limited educational facilities, lack of technology-based training, and a lack of in-depth understanding of pedagogic competence among most teachers. Therefore, to increase the effectiveness of learning, strategies are needed to improve teachers' pedagogic competence, including through continuous training and the provision of more adequate educational facilities. The optimal implementation of the PAI curriculum is expected to create a more meaningful learning environment, so that it can form the character of students who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also have noble character in daily life.
