The Impact of AI- Assisted Learning on Mandarin and English Language Achievement among Indonesian High Schools Students
type: item
description: The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed foreign language education by providing innovative learning tools that support language acquisition and learner autonomy. This study aimed to investigate the impact of AI-assisted learning on Mandarin and English language achievement among Indonesian students. A quantitative descriptive design was employed involving 180 senior high school and university students who studied both Mandarin and English as foreign languages. Data were collected through questionnaires, English and Mandarin achievement tests, and students’ academic records. The questionnaire measured students’ frequency of AI use, perceived usefulness of AI tools, and learning motivation. The achievement tests assessed reading, vocabulary, grammar, and writing skills in both languages. The findings revealed that 87% of students regularly used AI-powered applications such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, Google Gemini, and Duolingo. Students who frequently used AI-assisted learning obtained higher average scores in Mandarin (82.4) and English (85.7) compared to students with limited AI usage, whose average scores were 74.1 and 77.3 respectively. Furthermore, 84% of students reported increased learning motivation and 77% reported greater learning autonomy. The results suggest that AI-assisted learning positively influences language achievement, motivation, and engagement in both Mandarin and English language learning contexts. Therefore, integrating AI technologies into foreign language education can enhance learning outcomes and support personalized learning experiences.

The Values of Tolerance Education in Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 256 and Its Implications for Interfaith Harmony
type: item
description: The Qur'an was given to Muslims to be read and comprehended. Reading and understanding the Qur'an yields diverse understandings according to each individual's abilities. Muslims' understanding of the Qur'an will also give rise to diverse behaviors as interpretations of the Qur'an in the practice of life, both on the theological, philosophical, psychological, and cultural levels. This study aims to examine the role of the Bangkalan Regency Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB) in fostering values ​​of tolerance in society. The research method used is thematic interpretation with field research. The results of the study indicate that, first, the verses on interfaith harmony indicate that what God has determined regarding the essence of glory is the most appropriate, not what is fought over by many people because God is All-Knowing and All-Aware. Thus, humans should pay attention to what is ordered by the Creator of mankind, who is All-Knowing and knows them, as well as their welfare. Second, in Bangkalan Regency, verses on tolerance, or in the author's terminology, verses on interfaith harmony, have been well implemented. This is evident in the harmony of the Bangkalan community towards groups of different faiths.

Islamic Religious Education Learning Strategy
type: item
description: Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in shaping students' character to become faithful, pious, and morally upright individuals. However, in practice, PAI learning still faces various challenges, such as the dominance of conventional teaching methods, low student participation, and a lack of innovation in the use of instructional strategies. This study aims to analyze effective PAI learning strategies, including approaches, models, methods, and their implementation in improving the quality of learning in the modern era. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method, drawing on books, scientific journals, and other relevant references. The findings indicate that effective PAI learning strategies must integrate contextual, humanistic, and spiritual approaches, and be supported by active learning models such as cooperative learning, problem-based learning, and inquiry learning. In addition, the utilization of educational technology is a crucial factor in enhancing learning effectiveness. In conclusion, the success of PAI learning is highly dependent on teachers' creativity in designing innovative, adaptive, and relevant strategies in accordance with contemporary developments

Touching Allah in Ahmadiyah at the Mubarak Glugur Darat I Mosque, East Medan District, Medan City
type: item
description: Tawheed occupies a fundamental position in the construction of Islamic teachings because it is the main basis for the relationship between humans, beliefs, and religious authorities, but the dynamics of the development of modern religious movements have given birth to various theological interpretations that give rise to contestation in the midst of Islamic orthodoxy, including in the Ahmadiyya community. This paper aims to analyze the construction of the concept of appreciating Allah in the Ahmadiyya understanding in the Mubarak Glugur Darat I Mosque, East Medan District, Medan City, the basis of the theological interpretation used, the manifestation of the teachings in the religious practice of the congregation, as well as the forms of theological contestation that arise in their relationship with the surrounding Muslim community. This study uses a qualitative method with phenomenological and social theology approaches. Data was obtained through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with administrators and worshippers, and documentation, then analyzed interpretively. The findings show that the Ahmadiyya monotheistic construction is built through an emphasis on the oneness of Allah which is understood normatively through the Qur'an, hadith, and the internal authority of the congregation's interpretation, with an orientation on the purification of worship, spiritual loyalty, and the moral discipline of the congregation. This pattern of interpretation shows a reinterpretation of the concept of prophethood, the authority of revelation, and the position of spiritual leaders which are the main points of difference with the mainstream of Islam. In religious practice, the congregation displays a religious pattern that is structured, exclusive in internal coaching, but adaptive in social relations. On the other hand, the theological construction presents multi-layered dynamics of legitimacy and rejection, ranging from the stigma of deviation from the faith, the re…

Reconstruction of the Paradigm of Islamic Religious Education Learning Based on the Qur'an and Hadith: An Integrative, Contextual, and Transformative Approach
type: item
description: This study aims to construct a conceptual framework for Islamic Religious Education learning based on the Qur'an and Hadith in an integrative and contextual manner, emphasizing the interconnectedness of students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions in facing moral challenges in the contemporary era. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method to examine the foundations of the Qur'an and Hadith in Islamic Religious Education learning and their relevance to contemporary pedagogy. The primary data are verses of the Qur'an and Hadith, supported by relevant scientific literature. Data collection is carried out through documentation and systematic literature searches. Analysis uses content analysis with a thematic approach through the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity is maintained through source triangulation and a hermeneutic approach to produce contextual and comprehensive meaning. The results of this study indicate that Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning based on the Qur'an and Hadith requires an integrative, contextual, and transformative paradigm reconstruction. Pedagogical principles such as wisdom, role models, dialogue, and habituation demonstrate that Islamic teachings are not merely normative but also methodological. The integration of the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains emphasizes the importance of holistic personality development. Furthermore, a shift from a textual to a contextual-reflective approach is necessary for more relevant and meaningful learning. Thus, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) has the potential to become an adaptive, humanistic educational model capable of shaping students' character holistically and sustainably.

Improving Learning Outcomes of Pancasila Education Using Cooperative Learning in SMPN 4 Students of Probolinggo City
type: item
description: Pancasila and Citizenship Education (PPKn) plays an important role in shaping character, understanding of national values, and students' awareness of democracy. However, the learning outcomes of PPKn at SMPN 4 Probolinggo City still show low achievements, with many students not yet reaching the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). This research aims to improve PPKn learning outcomes through the application of the Cooperative Active Learning (CAL) model. The research method uses a descriptive quantitative approach by collecting data through observation, questionnaires, and documentation in grade VIII students. The CAL model emphasizes cooperative learning activities in small groups through group discussions, problem-solving, and evaluations so that students play an active role both cognitively and socially. The results of the data analysis showed that there was an increase in student learning outcomes after the implementation of the CAL model compared to before the implementation, both in terms of material understanding and social skills. In addition, students are more motivated, actively discuss, and able to apply PPKn material in the context of daily life. Thus, the Cooperative Active Learning model has proven to be effective in improving PPKn learning outcomes while fostering collaboration skills, individual responsibility, and active participation of students. This research is expected to be a practical reference for teachers in choosing innovative learning strategies to improve the quality of PPKn education.

type: item
description: This study is situated within the context of the increasing need to develop students’ critical thinking skills as part of 21st-century competencies, particularly in elementary education where meaningful and active learning is essential. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of implementing Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with a Deep Learning approach in improving students’ critical thinking skills in IPAS (Integrated Natural and Social Sciences) learning. This study employed a quantitative approach using Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were fourth-grade students of SDN 1 Blang Mangat. Data were collected through observation and written tests based on critical thinking indicators, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation, and analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, as indicated by the increase in learning mastery from 60% in Cycle I to 85% in Cycle II. In addition, students demonstrated higher engagement, active participation in discussions, and improved ability to analyze and solve contextual problems. These findings suggest that the integration of PBL with a Deep Learning approach not only enhances students’ critical thinking skills but also promotes meaningful and student-centered learning. Therefore, this approach can be considered an effective instructional strategy for improving the quality of learning in elementary schools, particularly in fostering higher-order thinking skills.

Digital Ethnoscience: AR/VR Media Shaping Chemistry Learning in Indonesia
type: item
description: Chemistry learning still faces challenges due to the abstract nature of its concepts, particularly at the submicroscopic level, as well as the limited connection between subject matter and students’ everyday life contexts. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), on the other hand, offer interactive visualizations that can help students understand chemical concepts more concretely, while ethnoscience provides cultural context and local wisdom that make learning more meaningful. This article aims to analyze the trends, characteristics, and future directions of ethnoscience‑based AR/VR media in chemistry learning in Indonesia through a systematic literature review. The findings indicate that AR is more widely used than VR, especially for topics that require spatial visualization such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular shapes, and virtual laboratories. Research on ethnoscience in chemistry education has also grown rapidly, particularly in improving chemical literacy and promoting contextual learning. However, the direct integration of ethnoscience‑based AR/VR remains limited. These findings highlight that the future development of chemistry learning media needs to balance technological aspects, conceptual accuracy, cultural relevance, and readiness for classroom implementation.

Management of Educational Facilities and Infrastructure: Efforts to Optimize the Learning Process at MA Nurul Fattah Lampung
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the problem of the gap between infrastructure standard regulation and managerial practices in the field. At MA Nurul Fattah Lampung, facility management is still reactive and the inventory has not been digitized, so it often creates administrative obstacles that have the potential to reduce the quality of learning. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the practice of facilities and infrastructure governance in order to realize the optimization of a quality learning process. The method used was qualitative descriptive, with data collection through observation, in-depth interviews with seven key informants, and documentation studies. The results of the study found that empirically, well-maintained physical infrastructure transforms into a "living catalyst" that successfully increases teacher motivation and triggers pedagogical innovation in the classroom. However, the managerial implementation is still fragmented and the absence of standard Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) often delays the achievement of curriculum targets. As a concrete recommendation, madrassas must immediately formulate and implement SOPs for infrastructure governance that are structured, proactive, and digitalized. This step is essential to prevent asset degradation, minimize inefficiencies, and ensure the sustainability of institutional excellence.

Morals, Adab, and Morale in the Context Education Islam Contemporary
type: item
description: The crisis of morals and manners that hit the young generation of Muslims in the digital era is the main background of this research. The moral degradation that is seen through bullying behavior, the weakening of social ethics, and the loss of respect for teachers show the need to strengthen the concept of character in Islamic education. This research aims to examine in depth the concepts of morals, manners, and morals in the context of contemporary Islamic education and explore their implications for the formation of an ethical and characterful learning environment. The research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method which is strengthened by normative-philosophical analysis of the sources of the Qur'an, Hadith, as well as the thought of classical and contemporary scholars such as Al-Ghazali, Ibn Miskawaih, and Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas. The results of the study show that morality, manners, and morals are three concepts that complement each other: morality as an inner foundation, adab as an expression of behavior, and morals as social standards. The concept of ta'dib Al-Attas has proven to be the most comprehensive framework of Islamic education because it integrates the formation of knowledge, character, and manners in an integrated manner. Its implementation through a morality-based curriculum, teacher examples, and the integration of Islamic values in learning have proven to be effective in forming a generation of Muslims with integrity. It is concluded that the revitalization of adab values in Islamic education is a strategic imperative to answer the challenges of globalization and moral crises. Empirically advanced research in various Islamic educational institutions is highly recommended.

Sociolinguistic Study of Language Diversity in Classroom Learning Communication
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the diverse use of language in learning communication in the classroom which shows that there is a variety of language variations between teachers and students. Differences in social backgrounds, language habits, and interaction situations in the classroom encourage the emergence of varied forms of language in the teaching and learning process. The purpose of this study is to identify the variety of languages used in learning communication, analyze the factors that influence language selection, and describe the forms of language variation that appear during the learning process. This study uses a qualitative approach by involving 15 students as informants through observation and interview techniques. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing based on the theory of language variation from William Labov (1972) and the ethnographic theory of communication from Dell Hymes (1974). The results of the study showed that a variety of formal languages were used in the delivery of materials and instructions, a semi-formal variety appeared in question and answer interactions, and a dominant non-formal variety in communication between students. The phenomenon of code switching and code mixing is also found in conversations in the classroom which are influenced by language habits and social closeness between students.
