Learning Islamic Cultural History Using The Problem-Posing Modelarning Islamic Cultural History Using The Problem-Posing Model

Lili Kurnia Sari — 2025-11-04

The Islamic world has a long history, from the prophet Adam to the present day, in line with the development of the times. This study aims to examine in depth the Problem Posing learning model and its application in Islamic Cultural History learning. The focus of the study covers four main aspects, namely: (i) understanding the meaning of the Problem Posing learning model, (ii) identifying the steps for applying the model, (iii) analyzing its strengths and weaknesses, and (iv) evaluating the relevance and effectiveness of applying the Problem Posing model in Islamic Cultural History lessons. The research used a qualitative method with a library research approach that relied on various scientific literature sources such as books, journals, and relevant research articles. The Problem Posing model is seen as a constructivist approach that encourages students to actively think, ask questions, and find solutions to problems that are posed or discovered by themselves. The results of the study show that this model is able to increase student participation and understanding in Islamic Cultural History learning, although its application requires teachers to be prepared in designing appropriate learning scenarios and responding flexibly to classroom dynamics. Thus, the Problem Posing model can be an effective alternative in creating an interactive and meaningful learning process in Islamic Cultural History classes.

Muhammad Hafizh — 2025-11-04

The problem identified in this study is the low learning outcomes of sixth-grade students in Islamic Religious Education, specifically in the subject of prayer and its implementation. One of the causes is the lack of variety in the teaching strategies used by teachers, which results in students becoming less enthusiastic, bored, and unmotivated to actively participate in learning, leading to low learning outcomes. Therefore, there is a need for new innovations in the form of applying the latest learning strategies to improve student learning outcomes. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education learning and contribute to the development of Islamic Religious Education teachers' competence in formulating learning strategies and models in the application of learning media. This study used a quantitative experimental method in the form of a one-group pre-test-post-test only, which compares the test results before treatment (pre-test) with the test results after treatment (post-test). The population of this study was all students in elementary school, totaling 84 students, and the sample was grade VI, consisting of one class with 17 students. The data collection method in this study was in the form of pre-test and post-test results conducted in the experimental class. Furthermore, data analysis used normality tests and paired sample t-tests with the help of IBM statistics. Research results Based on the results of the research and discussion in elementary schools, there was an increase in the learning outcomes of Islamic Religious Education in Character Building after applying a combination of cooperative learning strategies, namely the student team achievement division type and the discovery learning type

Pedagogical Learning Model Integrative Based on the Quran-Hadith in Contemporary Islamic Education

Yudi Gucandra — 2025-11-04

Contemporary Islamic education faces a serious dichotomy due to the dominance of modern learning models that focus solely on academic intelligence, thereby neglecting spiritual, emotional, and social intelligence. This condition is contrary to the true purpose of Islamic education, which is oriented towards the development of a complete person (Insan Kamil). This study aims to analyze the urgency of integrating modern pedagogy with the fundamental values of the Quran and Hadith in order to formulate a holistic learning approach. Using the library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach, this study conducts a conceptual synthesis and reviews the literature on integrative pedagogy. The analytical framework is reinforced by Amin Abdullah's concept of interconnection integration and Ismail Raji Al Faruqi's idea of Islamization of knowledge, which offer a philosophical basis for eliminating dichotomy. The results of the study show that contextualizing the values of the Quran and Hadith can strengthen the spiritual, moral, emotional, and social intelligence of students by developing the aspects of Ar Ruh, Al Qalb, Al Nafs, and Al Aql. It also improves critical thinking and social awareness. Modern learning models such as Problem Based Learning, Project Based Learning, Flipped Classroom, and Gamification become effective and religiously meaningful through this integration. The main contribution of this research is to offer a comprehensive conceptual framework for the development of an integrative Islam-based model that not only emphasizes cognitive mastery but also fosters a strong religious character. This integration is a strategic path towards a comprehensive vision of Islamic education.

Political-Social Historiography of Islamic Education in Minangkabau: Transmission of Knowledge and the Concept of Talaqqī in the Formation of Scientific Tradition

Ade Putra Hayat — 2025-11-09

This study examines the political-social historiography of Islamic education in Minangkabau, focusing on the transmission of knowledge and the concept of talaqqī in the formation of the Islamic scholarly tradition in the Indonesian archipelago. The study aims to trace, reconstruct, and interpret the historical dynamics of Islamic education in Minangkabau within the context of socio-politics and the transmission of knowledge. This study adopts a qualitative approach with historiography and literature review. Through a historical-critical literature review approach, this study analyzes the dynamics of Islamic education from the 17th to the 20th century, starting from the traditional surau system to modern madrasahs such as Sumatera Thawalib and Diniyah School. The results of the study show that Islamic education in Minangkabau not only functions as a religious institution but also as a socio-political arena in shaping the intellectual awareness and Islamic identity of the community. The concept of talaqqī becomes the epistemological foundation of knowledge transmission, which guarantees the authority and blessings of knowledge through the spiritual relationship between teacher and student. In the modern context, talaqqī has been recontextualized into a system of values and scientific ethics that is relevant to the development of contemporary Islamic education. This study confirms that Islamic education in Minangkabau is a manifestation of the dialectic between tradition and modernity, as well as an integrative model of Islamic education based on sanad, spirituality, and rationality.

The Influence of Parenting Styleson Children's Introverted Personalities

Syamsudin Syamsudin — 2025-11-10

The tendency of children to have introverted personalities is influenced by the parenting styles of their parents within the family environment. This study aims to determine the influence of authoritarian, democratic, and permissive parenting styles on children's introverted personalities. The method used was a quantitative statistical approach through a Likert scale questionnaire administered to 12 parents who were selected as samples based on purposive sampling. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the help of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The results showed that the three types of parenting styles did not have a significant effect on children's introverted personalities (significance value > 0.05). Authoritarian and permissive parenting styles showed a positive relationship, while democratic parenting showed a negative relationship with introverted tendencies, but this was not statistically significant. The results of this study indicate that the formation of a child's introverted personality is not only influenced by parenting styles, but also by internal factors such as innate temperament, as well as external factors such as the social environment, emotional experiences, and the surrounding culture, which also have a significant influence. Parenting styles should be based on gentleness, wisdom, and exemplary behavior as described in the letter of Luqman. Parents need to understand that introverted children are not to be corrected, but to be understood and guided with love. Therefore, a spiritual, reflective, and respectful approach to parenting is key in accompanying their growth and development

The Paradigm of Science Integration in The Development of Higher Education

Herina Yanti — 2025-11-10

The paradigm of combining science and Islam is an effort to unite modern knowledge with Islamic religious values philosophically and epistemologically. Until now, higher education in the Islamic world has often separated religious knowledge from general knowledge, which has led to a separation in academic thinking and practice. This study aims to explore the philosophical basis for combining science and Islam, as well as its impact on the development of higher education. Using a qualitative method based on literature review, this study finds that combining science and Islam is not only theoretical but can also be applied in real life. This is done by considering revelation as a source of values and science as a tool for advancing civilization. This paradigm is capable of creating a comprehensive higher education model that focuses on the development of knowledge with ethics and is able to respond to global challenges without losing Islamic identity. Thus, the integration of science and Islam has great potential as a basis for developing curricula, learning strategies, and research directions in Islamic universities.

Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques with stages of reduction, theme categorization, and conclusion drawing oriented towards theoretical findings and Islamic education practices in the family. The results of the study show that effective religious habits for children can be built through three main aspects: parental role modeling, consistent worship routines, and strengthening the religious environment at home. In addition, the targeted use of digital media and positive communication within the family also strengthen children's spiritual motivation. This study produced the concept of the Islamic Family Worship Habituation Model as a practical strategy for fostering spiritual independence in early childhood. The implications of the study emphasize the importance of synergy between families, Islamic educational institutions, and the social environment in shaping a generation of Muslims who are independent, have strong character, and are rooted in the values of faith and piety.

Data Collection Methods in the Big Data Era: A Systematic Literature Review on Technical and Ethical Challenges

Putri Adona — 2025-11-23

The Big Data era, characterized by the massive Volume, Velocity, and Variety of information, has revolutionized decision-making processes across various sectors. However, this paradigm shift has created significant methodological gaps, particularly related to population bias and the absence of standardized frameworks for validating non-probabilistic data representations. This study aims to bridge these gaps through a Systematic Literature Review, employing academic documentation and theoretical triangulation to synthesize both the challenges and solutions in the data acquisition phase. The findings identify three dominant data collection methods Web Scraping, Application Programming Interface, and the Internet of Things (IoT) as direct responses to the 3V characteristics of Big Data. Crucial insights reveal a persistent tension between the massive data volume and its validity, further complicated by technical risks (such as application programming interface rate limiting) and legal or ethical concerns (including compliance with Terms of Service and data privacy regulations). Research implementation in this era must therefore adopt a strategic framework, emphasizing essential practices such as personal identifiable information de-identification to ensure privacy rights and the application of Exponential Backoff techniques to overcome application programming interface quota limitations. This review presents a comprehensive synthesis of the pre-analysis phase of Big Data research, underscoring that the integrity and reliability of scientific findings in this era depend heavily on the adoption of rigorous methodological and ethical frameworks.

The conclusion of this study confirms that the success of public relations in the digital era depends on the ability to integrate technology, creativity, and human values to build a sustainable institutional reputation.

The Role of Muslim Intellectuals in the Transformation of Islamic Education in Indonesia: An Analysis of Physical and Non-Physical Works

Syawaldi Syawaldi — 2025-12-02

This study examines the contribution of Muslim scholars to the transformation of Islamic Education in Indonesia by highlighting two main forms of work: physical work in the form of establishing institutions, curricula, and infrastructure, as well as non-physical work in the form of ideas, methodologies, and educational ethics. Through a systematic literature review approach, this study found that the synergy between the institutional and intellectual dimensions built by figures such as KH. Ahmad Dahlan, KH. Hasyim Asy'ari, Nurcholish Madjid, Azyumardi Azra, Haedar Nashir, and Quraish Shihab became an important foundation for the renewal of Islamic Religious Education. Physical works provide an implementative space for strengthening the values of religious moderation and digital literacy, while non-physical works form a framework of ethics and rationality in modern Islamic learning. The results of the analysis show that the integration of moderation, digitalization, and Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Religious Education expands the function of religious education as a means of forming an inclusive and civilized society. However, methodological limitations in existing studies require a longitudinal and mixed methods approach to verify the causal relationship between intellectual ideas and the transformation of Islamic education. In practical terms, this study recommends strengthening empirical research on Islamic Religious Education, providing digital ethics training for educators, and promoting collaboration among universities in developing a values-based and technology-based Islamic curriculum.

Rehumanizing English Language Teaching: A Philosophical Inquiry into Language-Making Beings and the Purpose of ELT

Ledya Fitriyana — 2025-12-05

English Language Teaching (ELT) in many global and Indonesian contexts has long been dominated by technical–instrumental orientations, including grammar instruction, standardized test preparation, and utilitarian communicative competence for academic and economic mobility. These practices reduce language to a functional skill and overlook its deeper humanistic, moral, and philosophical dimensions. This conceptual article examines ELT through the philosophical notion of humans as language-making beings individuals who construct meaning, identity, and social reality through language. Drawing on humanistic educational philosophy, perspectives on linguistic rights, Maturana’s theory of language and emotion, and contemporary critiques of exam-oriented ELT, the article argues that language education should serve as a process of humanization rather than technical training. The discussion highlights the need to reorient ELT toward moral imagination, hope, advocacy, and global citizenship. The article also situates these issues in the Indonesian ELT landscape, where exam-driven and native-speaker–oriented practices remain dominant, despite growing calls for multilingual justice. Ultimately, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for humanistic ELT that affirms learners’ identities, supports ethical awareness, and promotes English as a medium for constructing meaningful social participation.

Toward a Hybrid Behavioristic–Humanistic Framework for Islamic EFL Pedagogy: A Conceptual Literature Review

Wiwit Engrina Nora — 2025-12-05

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy continues to evolve amid rapid digital transformation and shifting educational priorities. Classic learning theories such as behaviorism and humanism remain influential, yet they have traditionally been treated as competing paradigms rather than complementary foundations for instructional design. This conceptual literature review explores the theoretical duality between behavioristic and humanistic approaches in EFL learning and examines their intersection with Islamic educational philosophy. A systematic content analysis of recent scholarly publications (2019–2024) was conducted using thematic coding procedures to identify convergence, divergence, and emerging hybrid models. The findings reveal that behaviorism contributes significantly to linguistic accuracy, controlled practice, and measurable performance, whereas humanism supports intrinsic motivation, communicative confidence, and socio-emotional well-being. Increasingly, modern EFL classrooms, particularly digital and AI-assisted environments implicitly combine structured reinforcement with learner-centered engagement. Islamic pedagogy, through concepts such as ta’dib, tarbiyah, tikrar, and tadabbur, historically balances discipline and holistic growth, demonstrating strong alignment with an integrated theoretical stance. The study proposes a Hybrid Behavioristic–Humanistic EFL Pedagogical Framework emphasizing balanced development of accuracy and fluency grounded in ethical and cultural values. This framework advances theoretical discourse, offers practical guidance for EFL practitioners, and highlights implications for Islamic education settings. Future empirical studies are encouraged to validate and operationalize the model in real classroom contexts.

Educational Theory and Its Relation to the Development of the Islamic Education Curriculum

Aryogo Adi Guna — 2025-12-06

This article discusses the relationship between educational theories and the development of the Islamic Education Curriculum in the context of educational reform and innovation in Indonesia. Education is viewed as a conscious and purposeful process to develop the full potential of students, while the curriculum serves as an instrument that bridges educational theory with learning practices in the field. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a library research method sourced from various primary and secondary literature, such as the works of John Dewey, Ki Hajar Dewantara, Paulo Freire, Piaget, and Bruner. The results of the study show that educational theories, including behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and humanism, have contributed significantly to the direction and strategy of Islamic Religious Education curriculum development. These theories help educators understand the characteristics of students, determine learning objectives, and design processes and evaluations oriented towards spiritual, intellectual, and moral development. Thus, the synergy between educational theory and curriculum is key to realizing Islamic Religious Education learning that is relevant, contextual, and adaptive to the challenges of the times.

From Facilitator to Learning Coach: A Historical, Pedagogical, and Islamic Educational Perspective on English Language Teaching

Ade Suhendra — 2025-12-08

The transformation of teachers’ roles from facilitators to learning coaches has become a pedagogical necessity in the era of globalization, particularly in English language teaching, which demands autonomous learning, metacognition, and 21st-century competencies. This article examines the shift through three lenses: the historical foundations of Islamic education, contemporary learning theories, and empirical findings from recent research (2017–2023). Using a systematic literature review, the study synthesizes evidence on the effectiveness of educational coaching and assesses its conceptual alignment with the Islamic conception of teachers mu’allim, murabbi, and muaddib. Findings indicate that learning coaching not only enhances instructional practice and students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) but also aligns with the core values and aims of Islamic education. The study proposes an integrative framework combining pedagogical, linguistic, character-based, and spiritual dimensions for English language learning in Islamic educational settings.

Institutional Transformation of Islamic Boarding Schools in the Era of Disruption: Analysis of Structural Problems and Development Strategies Based on Local Wisdom

Budi Harto — 2025-12-08

This study analyzes the dynamics of institutional transformation in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia in the face of the digital disruption era, which is characterized by rapid social, technological, and educational changes. Using a systematic literature review of 45 articles indexed in Scopus and SINTA 1-2 for the period 2018-2024, this study identifies three main structural problems that hinder the transformation of Islamic boarding schools: cultural resistance to innovation, limited institutional capacity, and dualism in the education system. The findings were analyzed through the triangulation of three theoretical frameworks: Talcott Parsons' structural-functional theory, Douglass North's institutional theory, and Jack Mezirow's Transformative Learning theory. The synthesis resulted in a holistic transformation model based on local wisdom that integrates five strategic dimensions: leadership transformation, curriculum, pedagogy, management, and external networks. This model emphasizes the importance of Kyai leadership as Norm Entrepreneurs, the integration of traditional values with modern innovation, and the continuous strengthening of organizational capacity.

The Application of Storytelling Methods in Language Development for Early Childhood

Fadhli Zulmi — 2025-12-02

This study was motivated by the importance of developing language skills in early childhood, particularly at As-Salam Hutarimbaru Kindergarten in Lembah Melintang District, West Pasaman Regency. Based on the results of observations, it was found that many children were unable to develop their language skills optimally. One of the reasons for this was that teachers often used lecture methods, which made children feel bored and less interested in learning. The research methodology used was qualitative and a case study approach. Based on the research results and data analysis, it can be concluded that: i) The storytelling method was implemented systematically and planned, using media such as picture books and hand puppets that made children more interested and active in learning, ii) There was a significant improvement in children's language skills, marked by their courage to speak, increased vocabulary, and their ability to understand and retell the story, iii) Teachers play an important role in optimizing the storytelling method through creative strategies and collaboration with parents, so that children's language stimulation can also take place at home. The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for future researchers in examining this issue in different contexts and issues.

The Effectiveness of Monitoring Book for Teacher-Parent Collaboration

Anita Indria — 2025-12-10

This research aimed at describing and solving problems related to the use of monitoring book that did not work optimally. Monitoring book as a medium of communication between teachers and parents should be used as best as possible so that even when parents are busy with their work, they can still control their child’s development at home. After conducting research, problems were found in the field that the use of monitoring book was still not effective because there were several problems that needed to be solved. Through qualitative research methods with a descriptive analytical approach, it was found that problems with the use of monitoring book were caused by a lack of attention, concern, and participation of parents in supervising children studying at home. It was because parents did not sign the monitoring book as proof that parental control over their child’s learning at home did work. This research found that the reason for this was that the rules set at the beginning of the year were not implemented as they should have been.
