The Values of Tolerance Education in Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 256 and Its Implications for Interfaith Harmony
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
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
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 restriction of the space for religious expression, to the negotiation of Islamic identity in the local public space.

Digital Ethnoscience: AR/VR Media Shaping Chemistry Learning in Indonesia
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
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
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.

Theoretical Review: Understanding Test Reliability in Learning
Evaluation is a crucial instrument in the Independent Curriculum instructional cycle for measuring the achievement of learning objectives and providing pedagogical feedback. However, in practice, the provision of valid and consistent evaluation tools still faces challenges, characterized by fluctuations in test scores due to weak control over measurement error. This article aims to examine in depth the basic concept of reliability, visualize its operation, and reconstruct techniques for estimating test instrument reliability coefficients. The research method used is library research, analyzing classic and contemporary literature in the fields of educational evaluation and psychometrics using a descriptive-qualitative approach. The results of the discussion indicate that reliability reflects the level of consistency, dependability, and stability of measurement results, which can be estimated through three main approaches: stability (test-retest), equivalence (parallel forms), and internal consistency (such as Split-Half, KR-20/21, and Cronbach's Alpha). Through simulation of the Spearman-Brown (Split-Half) formula calculation on a multiple-choice test, a reliability coefficient of 0.79 was obtained. Based on Guilford's criteria, this value is included in the high category and exceeds the minimum limit of feasibility for learning evaluation instruments (0.70), so the instrument is highly reliable.

Critical AI Literacy in Arabic Language Education: Rethinking Teacher Roles, Ethics, and Curriculum in the Age of Generative AI
This study examines the growing role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in Arabic language education and highlights the increasing need for critical AI literacy among learners and teachers. While AI tools offer opportunities to support grammar learning, vocabulary development, writing practice, and independent learning, concerns remain regarding accuracy, overreliance, academic integrity, and the decline of critical thinking. The study aims to explore the need for critical AI literacy in Arabic language learning, examine the changing role of teachers, identify institutional and ethical challenges, and propose a conceptual framework for future practice and research. A Narrative Literature Review (NLR) approach was employed to synthesize and critically interpret relevant studies. Literature was collected from Scopus and Google Scholar, resulting in 26 primary studies that were analyzed through thematic synthesis. The review identified six major themes: critical AI literacy as a pedagogical necessity, the repositioning of teachers, infrastructure and policy challenges, academic ethics and integrity, teacher professional development and AI-responsive curriculum design, and the development of a critical AI literacy framework. Based on these findings, the study proposes a preliminary framework consisting of evaluative linguistic skills, awareness of AI limitations, human–AI collaboration, the use of morphology-aware and adaptive AI tools, and the integration of digital technologies with sound pedagogical practices. The study concludes that effective AI integration in Arabic language education requires critical engagement, informed human judgment, teacher preparedness, and context-sensitive educational policies.

Analysis of the Classification of Environmental Conditions of Chili Plants into Healthy and Unhealthy Categories Using the Decision Tree Algorithm
Changes in various environmental parameters during the cultivation process can have an impact on plant development and have the potential to reduce the quality of the results obtained. Therefore, a method is needed that is able to identify plant conditions quickly, objectively, and accurately. This study aims to build a classification model of chili plant conditions using the Decision Tree J48 algorithm by utilizing environmental parameter data and soil nutrients as the basis for determining healthy and unhealthy plant categories. This research method uses a quantitative approach with data mining techniques on a public dataset consisting of 2,200 datasets. The variables analyzed included nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), temperature, humidity, soil pH (ph), and rainfall. The process of forming and testing the model was carried out using the WEKA application with the 10-fold cross validation technique. The results showed that moisture was the most dominant attribute in the formation of decision trees, followed by rainfall, temperature, and soil pH as supporting attributes. The resulting model obtained an accuracy rate of 99.5909%, a Kappa Statistic value of 0.989, a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.0042, and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.064. These values indicate that the model has an excellent degree of conformity with a relatively low rate of prediction error. Based on these results, the Decision Tree J48 algorithm has proven to be effective in classifying the condition of chili plants based on environmental parameters and has the potential to be applied as the basis for the development of a decision support system to help the process of monitoring plant conditions more quickly, objectively, and accurately.

Indonesian Language Interference in the Kaili Language of the Rai Dialect in Sipeso, Sindue Tobata District, Donggala Regency
Indonesia is recognized as one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world, with hundreds of regional languages spoken across its archipelago. This study aims to describe the forms of Indonesian language interference in the Rai dialect of the Kaili language used in daily community communication. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected through observation, recording, and note-taking techniques from speakers of the Rai dialect of the Kaili language. The data were analyzed by identifying, classifying, and describing the forms of interference found in the utterances. The results revealed four forms of interference, namely lexical, morphological, syntactic, and phonological interference. Lexical interference was indicated by the inclusion of Indonesian vocabulary in Rai dialect utterances. Morphological interference appeared in the use of word-formation elements influenced by Indonesian. Syntactic interference was reflected in sentence structures influenced by Indonesian patterns, while phonological interference appeared in sound changes in the speakers' utterances. The findings indicate that the simultaneous use of two languages in daily communication contributes to the occurrence of Indonesian language interference in the Rai dialect of the Kaili language.

Verb Phrase Structure in the Bajo Language
Language is the main communication tool used by humans to convey thoughts, feelings and wills. Each language has its own systems and rules, both in the fields of phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. This study aims to describe the structure of verb phrases in the Bajo language used by the people of Lomba Village, Lamala District, Banggai Regency. The focus of the research includes the structure of intransitive and transitive verb phrases and their formation patterns. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of the see-through method and the cakap method. Data were obtained from the oral speech of native Bajo speakers as well as relevant written data. Data analysis was carried out using matching methods and distributional methods. The results of the study show that verb phrases in the Bajo language consist of intransitive verb phrases and transitive verb phrases. The structure of the verb phrase is formed by the relationship between the core element (the verb as upstream) and the additional element (adverbial, complementary, or operator). Three main patterns were found in intransitive verb phrases, namely the H–T (Upstream–Additional), T–H (Additional–Upstream), and T–H–T (Additional–Upstream–Additional). In transitive verb phrases, a similar pattern is also found, but with the presence of an object as a mandatory complement. In addition, in the structure of the Bajo verb phrase there is the use of grammatical operators such as negation markers, aspects, and prohibitions that affect the overall meaning of the phrase. This research is expected to contribute to the development of linguistic studies, especially in the field of regional language syntax, as well as support efforts to preserve the Bajo language as part of Indonesia's cultural wealth

MSDM Digitalization Strategy in Improving the Professionalism of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teachers: A Literature Study
Digital transformation in the education sector has driven fundamental changes in human resource management (HRM) practices, particularly in Islamic primary education institutions such as Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). The digitalization of HRM is no longer limited to administrative efficiency but has evolved into a strategic instrument for enhancing teacher professionalism through data-driven management systems, digital performance evaluation, and continuous competency development. This study aims to analyze the concept of HRM digitalization strategies in the context of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah education and examine their role in improving teacher professionalism. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method based on secondary data obtained from national scientific journals, academic books, and Indonesian education policy documents published within the last five years. Data were analyzed using content analysis, focusing on key themes such as HRM digitalization, teacher professionalism, and educational management transformation. The findings indicate that effective HRM digitalization strategies include the implementation of human resource information systems, e-performance systems, strengthening teachers’ digital literacy, technology-based competency development, and the transformation of digital organizational culture. HRM digitalization has been proven to enhance transparency, efficiency, accountability, and objectivity in teacher management. However, its success is strongly influenced by human resource readiness, educational leadership, and the availability of digital infrastructure. This study confirms that HRM digitalization plays a strategic role in developing sustainable teacher professionalism in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah through the integration of technology and the strengthening of digital pedagogical capacity.

Reconstruction of the TPQ Quality Assurance Paradigm: Integration of the Khoiro Ummah Concept and the PPEPP Cycle in the Digital Era
The digital era brings a double disruption to the Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPQ), namely the demand for technological adaptation as well as the threat of moral decline in Early Childhood and Elementary School (Alpha Generation). On the other hand, conventional TPQ governance is generally still traditional and has not touched the aspect of systematic quality standardization. This article aims to reconstruct the TPQ quality assurance paradigm through a literature study approach (library research). Reconstruction is carried out by integrating the theological-philosophical value of the concept of Khoiro Ummah (QS. Ali Imran: 110) with modern management instruments, namely the PPEPP cycle (Determination, Implementation, Evaluation, Control, and Improvement). The results of the conceptual study formulated four new quality pillars: (1) Qur'an-Based Content Standards Based on Digital Literacy and Manners, (2) TPQ Adaptive PPEPP Cycle, (3) Standardization of Asatidz Techno-Pedagogic Competencies, and (4) External Evaluation Based on Digital Parent Partnerships. This integration results in a holistic quality assurance model, where the quality of TPQ is no longer measured by cognitive reading fluency, but rather the formation of an Islamic personality (syakhsiyah Islamiyah) that is responsive to digital reality.

Implementasi Media Digital YouTube dalam Pembelajaran PJOK Materi Senam Irama untuk Mengembangkan Keterampilan Motorik Siswa Kelas V di SD Negeri 009 Sangatta Utara
This study aims to describe the implementation of YouTube digital media in physical education (PJOK) learning, identify the obstacles encountered, and explain the solutions used to develop the motor skills of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 009 Sangatta Utara. This study used a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the principal, PJOK teachers, and fifth-grade students. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation techniques. The results showed that the implementation of YouTube digital media was carried out through three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, teachers prepared learning materials and selected appropriate YouTube videos related to rhythmic gymnastics. In the implementation stage, YouTube videos were used as visual learning media to help students observe and practice movements repeatedly. In the evaluation stage, teachers assessed students' motor skills through direct observation during practical activities. The use of YouTube contributed to the improvement of students' motor skills, especially in movement coordination, accuracy, agility, and imitation ability. In addition, students became more active, enthusiastic, and involved in the learning process. Barriers include limited internet access, inadequate facilities, differences in student motor skills, and a lack of confidence among some students. To address these challenges, teachers download videos, use personal devices when necessary, provide step-by-step guidance, and consistently motivate students. Therefore, YouTube can serve as an innovative and effective learning medium to support motor skill development in elementary school students.

Spatial-Material Memory Pedagogy: Deconstructing the Educational Model of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 in Digital Learning Spaces
The rapid migration of contemporary education into virtual environments has engineered an ontological crisis characterized by disembodied learning and digital learning space alienation. As instructional interactions are reduced to frictionless screens, students are increasingly severed from the physical geographies and tangible materials vital for shaping ethical consciousness and collective memory. This study addresses this theoretical gap by executing a qualitative deconstruction of Deuteronomy 6:4–9, reframing it from a narrow theological dogma into an ancient Near Eastern curricular artifact of resilience. Grounded in philosophical-pedagogical hermeneutics and a Derridean deconstructive approach, the study analyzes the semantic and syntactic functions of the Hebrew Masoretic text's spatial-itinerant verbs (yashab, halak, shakab, qum) and material-semiotic objects (’oth, totaphoth, mezuzah), dialectically juxtaposing them with contemporary frameworks of spatial pedagogy and new materialism. The analysis extracts a novel conceptual model termed the "Spatial-Material Pedagogy of Memory." The findings reveal that verse 7 establishes a "Liquid yet Place-Anchored Curriculum" that reclaims everyday geographical trajectories against digital non-places, while verses 8–9 deploy a "Curriculum of Materiality" that utilizes physical tokens and architectural thresholds to counteract digital amnesia through embodied cognition. Ultimately, this model destabilizes the technocentric hegemony of modern educational technology, offering a robust philosophical foundation for future hybrid curricula that intentionally bind digital tools to local physical ecologies and corporeal craftsmanship.

Toponymy and Collective Memory: Tracing the History of Sukarara Village Through Oral Traditions and Naming of Weaving Ornamental Varieties
Sukarara Village in Central Lombok has been better known as a weaving tourist destination, while the history behind the name of the village itself is rarely known. This research aims to trace the origin of the name Sukarara Village (toponymy) and the philosophical meaning of the traditional weaving ornamental variety that has been passed down from generation to generation, by considering that both were born from the same process, namely the collective memory of the community that was passed down orally without inscriptions or official written archives. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and weaving artisans, participatory observation, and the study of local historical documents. The results of the study show that the name "Sukarara" is rooted in the word "suke" (willing/sincere) which reflects the spirit of community independence, and is associated with the story of the founders of the village, Raden Uga and Raden Cempaka. The tradition of weaving is also integrated with the identity and rituals of the community, ranging from the ritual of "pemandik" to the traditional rules of "dende nyensek". Each weaving motif, such as Subahnale and Umbak, holds its own story and function, from the weaver's expression of admiration to the ritual of shaving baby hair. The study also found that the threat of fading of collective memory was due to the lack of regeneration of young weavers and the shift in value due to commercialization, so documentation became urgent.

The Symbolic Meaning of Bugis Traditional Wedding Clothes in Soni Village: A Semiotic Study of Charles Sanders Peirce's Theory
In various traditions in Indonesia, traditional clothing has an important position because it is used in sacred ceremonies, including wedding ceremonies. This research aims to describe the shape and meaning of symbols contained in Bugis traditional wedding clothes. The research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data was obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation with informants consisting of traditional elders and the Bugis community who understood the meaning of traditional bridal attire. Data is analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the symbols on Bugis traditional wedding clothes are divided into verbal symbols and nonverbal symbols. Verbal symbols are obtained from the informant's explanation of the meaning of colors, jewelry, and traditional clothing related to purity, fertility, glory, social status, loyalty, responsibility, and siri' values in the life of the Bugis people. Nonverbal symbols appear in elements of clothing and accessories, such as wedding dresses, lipa' sabbe, potto, ponto, necklaces, giwang, crowns, keris, and songko, each of which contains philosophical meanings about honor, courage, welfare, fertility, happiness, and the hope of a harmonious domestic life. The findings of the study show that Bugis traditional wedding clothes not only function as wedding clothes, but also as a representation of cultural values, social identity, and ancestral heritage that are full of symbolic meaning.

Trends and Characteristics of Arabic Language Teaching Material Development by Pre-Service Teachers in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review
The development of Arabic teaching materials by prospective teachers in universities is an important issue in line with the increasing demands of 21st century competence and the integration of technology in education. However, a comprehensive study of the trends and characteristics of the development of Arabic teaching materials by prospective teachers is still limited. This research aims to synthesize trends, approaches, and challenges that arise in the development of Arabic teaching materials in the higher education environment. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by following the PRISMA guidelines. Literature searches were conducted on Semantic Scholar, PubMed, OpenAlex, arXiv, and ClinicalTrials databases. Of the 123 documents identified, 37 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Risk of bias was evaluated based on the relevant domain, while the level of certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE framework. The results of the study show five main themes, namely: (1) the competence of prospective teachers in learning design, (2) the effectiveness of teaching materials and curriculum innovation, (3) the implementation of 21st century skills through the 4C framework, (4) the integration of technology and artificial intelligence in Arabic language learning, and (5) the quality of the teacher candidate education program. The dominant trends include the use of digital technology, the application of constructivistic approaches, and the strengthening of 21st century skills. However, various challenges are still found, such as curriculum incompatibility, limited digital resources, and lack of pedagogic training. This study shows that the development of Arabic teaching materials is moving towards a more digital, collaborative, and competency-based approach. However, the low to very low certainty of the evidence indicates the need for more rigorous experimental research to support the development of Arabic teacher education policies and practices.

An Analysis of Students’ Understanding of Pancasila Symbols and the Implementation of Pancasila Values in Second Grade Elementary School
This study aims to analyze the understanding of second-grade students at SDN 147 Rejang Lebong regarding the symbols of Pancasila and the implementation of Pancasila values in learning, as well as to identify obstacles and teacher efforts in the process. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed with 12 student subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, using indicators such as the ability to recognize symbols, mention the sound of each principle, relate symbols to daily behavior, and implement the values of Divinity, Humanity, Unity, Democracy, and Justice. The results show that most students are able to mention the symbols and the sound of Pancasila principles, but only a portion can relate them to everyday behaviors. Religious and cooperation values are most dominant, while the values of deliberation and justice still require habituation. The main obstacles include students' low concentration and limited variation in teaching methods. Teachers strive to enhance understanding by using visual media, group discussions, and positive behavior habituation. In conclusion, learning about Pancasila symbols is quite effective at the basic knowledge level, but value internalization requires more innovative and contextual methods. This research implies the need for the development of more creative Pancasila learning strategies and contributes as a reference for teachers and policymakers in designing character education relevant to the developmental stage of elementary school students.

Clause Structure in the Rai Dialect of the Kaili Language: A Descriptive Syntactic Study
Language is an important element in human life because it functions as a means of communication, conveying ideas, and a medium for inheriting cultural values from one generation to the next. This study aims to describe the structure, types, and rules of word formation through derivation, as well as the differences and syntactic relationships between independent clauses (free) and dependent clauses (bound) in the Kaili language of the Rai dialect, one of the varieties of Kaili language used in the Central Sulawesi region. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method; The data was collected through the Simak and Cakap method (interviews with native speakers, natural speech recordings), then analyzed using the matching and distribution method to identify the patterns, functions, and grammatical features. The results show that independent clauses can stand on their own as complete sentences, consisting of three main types: intransitive (without objects, S-P, P-S, and variations with adverbs), transitive (having objects, the basic pattern of S-P-O and its variations), and equivocal (connecting subjects and complements, without mandatory verbs). In contrast, dependent clauses cannot stand alone, function as part of compound sentences (as complements, adverbs, or adverbs), and are usually characterized by subordinate conjunctions or suffixes that mark syntactic dependencies on the main clause. At the morphological level, derivation is the process of forming new words with different meanings and classes of words, especially through suffixes (prefixes, suffixes, circumfixes) that are commonly used in this dialect. Suffixes such as na-, po-, ma-, pa- change the verb to a noun, change the active-passive meaning, or change the category of a word, for example from an adjective to a verb; This process becomes an important means of enriching vocabulary and composing more complex sentence structures. Overall, the syntactic and morphological system of the Rai dialect exhibits the characteristics of the Kaili language: a flexible but head-beginning pattern of word order, the productive use of suffixes for the derivation and marking of relationships between clauses, and a clear distinction between independent units and those that depend on sentence structure.

Nilai Edukatif Permainan Tradisional Congklak dalam Mengembangkan Kemampuan Berhitung Siswa Kelas II Sekolah Dasar Negeri 04 Bengalon
This study aimed to analyze the implementation of the educational values of the traditional game congklak in developing students’ counting ability and to identify its advantages and disadvantages at Sekolah Dasar Negeri 04 Bengalon, Bengalon District, East Kutai Regency. A qualitative field research approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with one second-grade teacher and three second-grade students, and documentation. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model and validated through triangulation techniques. The findings revealed that the traditional game congklak contained significant educational values in developing students’ counting ability, particularly in the cognitive aspect, such as recognizing numbers, counting seeds, and performing simple addition and subtraction. In addition, the game also fostered affective values, including honesty and patience, as well as social values such as cooperation and positive interaction among students. The advantages of using congklak included making learning more enjoyable, improving concentration and learning interest, and preserving local culture. However, several disadvantages were also identified, such as the limited number of players, the need for specific equipment, relatively long playing time, and the requirement for intensive teacher guidance. The study concluded that integrating the traditional game congklak into classroom instruction can serve as an effective and contextual alternative medium for developing both counting skills and character among lower-grade elementary school students

Phonological Structure of Kaili Language Rai Dialect
The main problems studied are the form of phonological processes as well as the variations and sound characteristics of language used in daily communication. This study aims to analyze phonological processes and identify the dominant types of sound changes in the Kaili language of the Rai dialect. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive. The research data is in the form of oral speech (words, phrases, and sentences) obtained directly from native speaker informants through the simak method (tapping technique, simak engaged cakap, simak free engaged cakap, and note) and cakap method (fishing technique, recording, and note). Data analysis is carried out interactively, which includes the data reduction stage, data presentation in the form of inventory tables and descriptions, and conclusion drawn. The results show that there is a variety of vowel phonemes (/a/, /i/, /u/, /e/, /o/) and various consonant phonemes, noting that the consonant phoneme /w/ is not found in this dialect. The sound system of the Kaili language of the Rai dialect has unique characteristics that are shown through the presence of contrasting consonants (such as the pairs /p/ and /b/, /k/ and /g/), front and middle consonant clusters (e.g. mpu'u, rombi), consonant sequences (punti, komporo), and diphthongs (/ai/, /au/, /oi/). In addition, a consistent pattern of sound distribution was found, including contrast distributions that function to distinguish the meaning of words (e.g. the vowels /u/ and /o/ in the word pulu polo) as well as complementary distributions influenced by the phonological environment around the phoneme.

Gaya Metaforis dalam Lirik Lagu di Album the Second Step: Chapter Two oleh Treasure
Song lyrics as a form of art not only function as a medium of entertainment, but also as a means of emotional expression and effective cultural representation. This study aimed to identify the forms and analyze the meanings of metaphorical figurative language in the song lyrics of the album The Second Step: Chapter Two by TREASURE. A qualitative descriptive approach in linguistics was applied in this research. Data were collected using observing, recording, and note-taking techniques. For the analysis of metaphor types and meanings, Knowles and Moon's (2006) theoretical framework was utilized, in which three main components (vehicle, topic, and ground) were focused upon. Based on the results, 15 metaphorical data from the seven analyzed songs were found, which were classified into metonymy (5 data), personification (4 data), simile (3 data), and synesthesia (3 data). Metonymy was shown to be the most dominantly used metaphor, indicating that conceptual contiguity associations were utilized to convey implicit messages. Furthermore, code-mixing elements were also found within the metaphor constructions, which were used to serve crucial semantic functions for emphasis and semantic precision due to the lack of lexical equivalents.

The Application of Mindful Breathing Technique in Managing Students' Academic Anxiety Ahead of Exams at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Darun Najah Margoyoso Pati
Academic anxiety ahead of examinations is a multifaceted psychological issue frequently experienced by elementary school students, which can manifest as physical discomfort and cognitive impairments that hinder their academic potential. This study aims to investigate the application and effectiveness of the mindful breathing technique in managing and reducing academic anxiety among sixth-grade students prior to taking exams. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this research was conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Darun Najah Margoyoso Pati, gathering data through in-depth interviews with three purposively selected students and their classroom teacher, alongside passive-participant observation. The findings revealed that prior to the intervention, students exhibited high academic anxiety characterized by palpitations, cold sweats, and sudden mental blanking. Although the initial implementation faced minor behavioral distractions due to the developmental age of the students, the integration of 3 to 5 respiratory cycles of mindful breathing successfully induced instant physiological relaxation, resulting in a significant reduction in physical tension, clearer cognitive focus, and heightened self-confidence. In conclusion, the classical application of the mindful breathing technique serves as an effective, time-efficient, and practical self-regulation tool to alleviate academic anxiety and foster a calm, conducive classroom environment before examinations.

Deuteronomy 31:9-13 and the Mandate of Torah Reading: Reconstructing Community-Based Faith Education in the Postmodern Era
The postmodern epistemological landscape, characterized by radical relativism, institutional skepticism, and the fragmentation of communal identity, has precipitated a profound crisis in Christian faith transmission. Traditional pedagogical models, overly reliant on didactic propositionalism or individualistic experientialism, prove increasingly inadequate in forming resilient, covenant-keeping disciples. This article turns to the Old Testament, specifically the pericope of Deuteronomy 31:9-13, as a forgotten but normative blueprint for reconstructing community-based faith education. Through a rigorous exegetical analysis of the Hebrew text—focusing on the triadic imperative to "hear" (shema), "learn" (lamad), and "fear" (yare)—this study argues that the septennial mandate of public Torah reading offers a robust theological counter-narrative to postmodern disintegration. The article reconstructs three structural pillars from the text: (1) the objective authority of the canonical corpus against relativism, (2) the inclusive, intergenerational assembly (qahal) against hyper-individualism, and (3) the cyclical liturgical rhythm against ephemeral consumerism. Conclusively, the paper proposes a practical ecclesial model that recovers the public reading of Scripture, re-engineers multi-generational spaces, and reintegrates the Christian calendar as a pedagogical tool for holistic faith formation. This reconstruction positions the Deuteronomic mandate not as an archaic relic, but as a prophetic, counter-cultural pedagogy for the contemporary church.

A Participatory Truth Pedagogical Model Based on John 18:37 for Christian Religious Education in the Post-Truth Era
This study aims to develop a Participatory Truth Pedagogical Model based on Jesus' testimony in John 18:37 as a pedagogical response to the Post-Truth phenomenon in Christian Religious Education (CRE). The main problem addressed is the crisis of truth literacy among young Christians, where emotions and subjective opinions often override objective facts and biblical truth, rendering one-way doctrinal teaching models inadequate. This research employs a qualitative approach using comparative study and content analysis methods, comparing the concept of truth in the exegesis of John 18:37 with the characteristics of the Post-Truth phenomenon, then synthesizing them into an applicable pedagogical framework. The findings formulate the 4P-Participatory Model, consisting of four pillars: (1) Encounter through dialogical relationships with truth; (2) Deepening through critical thinking and digital literacy training; (3) Practice through actualizing truth in concrete actions; and (4) Mentoring within a reflective faith community. This model offers a holistic approach integrating the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects of learners. The conclusion affirms that CRE in the Post-Truth era requires a paradigm shift from instructional-passive teaching toward participatory-dialogical pedagogy. This research recommends implementing this model in church and Sunday school curricula, as well as facilitator training to guide contextual and sustainable truth learning processes.

Multimodal SEL Interventions in Preschool Settings: A Review of Methodologies and Measured Outcomes
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) interventions in preschool settings are increasingly recognized as foundational for children's holistic development, fostering crucial skills in emotional regulation, social interaction, and school readiness. This systematic literature review aimed to examine methodologies, measured outcomes, and implementation strategies of multimodal SEL interventions globally between 2016 and 2025. Utilizing Scopus as the primary database, the review applied rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in the analysis of empirical studies evaluating diverse SEL modalities, teacher professional development (PD), and cultural adaptations. Results revealed significant positive impacts from multimodal SEL interventions, including mindfulness practices, play-based learning, digital approaches, and parent involvement, across various developmental domains such as emotional competencies, social skills, and academic performance. Notably, structured and ongoing teacher PD emerged as essential for ensuring high program fidelity and effective SEL delivery. Culturally responsive adaptations were identified as critical factors enhancing program relevance and acceptance, especially in multilingual and multicultural contexts. Despite these promising findings, methodological variability and inconsistencies in measuring long-term impacts indicate a pressing need for standardized approaches and more rigorous longitudinal research. The study provides compelling evidence supporting integrative theoretical frameworks by CASEL, Vygotsky, and Bronfenbrenner, advocating holistic and contextually responsive SEL implementation. Key implications include prioritizing comprehensive teacher training, community and family engagement, and culturally adaptive curricula. Future research directions emphasize the importance of longitudinal studies, consistent fidelity assessments, and broader representation of diverse global contexts to enrich the SEL literature and practice.

Hubungan antara Organisasi Kemahasiswaan dan Indeks Prestasi yang Dimoderasi oleh Manajemen Waktu.
This study aims to analyze the relationship between student organizations and students' Grade Point Average (GPA) with time management as a moderating variable. The research is motivated by the differences in previous research results regarding the influence of organizational activity on academic achievement and the limited research that examines the moderating role of time management. The study used a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique on 93 active students of the Wastukancana Purwakarta College of Technology who had participated in student organizations for at least one semester. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using PROCESS Macro Hayes Model 1. The research hypotheses include the influence of student organizations on GPA, the influence of time management on GPA, and the moderating role of time management. The results showed that neither student organizations nor time management had a direct effect on GPA. However, the interaction between student organizations and time management proved to have a significant effect, so that time management acted as a moderating variable that changed the direction and strength of the relationship between student organizations and GPA. These findings contribute to the development of student behavior studies by demonstrating the importance of time management skills in maintaining a balance between organizational activities and academic achievement.

Educational service marketing has become a strategic aspect in enhancing the competitiveness of educational institutions, particularly within the context of transformative Islamic education, which emphasizes the integration of Islamic values and social transformation. However, marketing practices that are not quality-based often result in low levels of public trust in educational institutions. Therefore, this study aims to analyze quality-based educational service marketing as an effort to increase public trust in transformative Islamic educational institutions. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were collected through documentation from various relevant scientific sources, including accredited journals, books, and other supporting documents. The data analysis technique utilizes content analysis through stages of unitization, coding, categorization, and interpretation to produce a comprehensive conceptual synthesis. The results indicate that quality-based educational service marketing plays a significant role in building public trust through four main dimensions, namely input quality, process quality, output quality, and service quality. Public trust is formed through the consistency of service quality, transparency of information, institutional reputation, and user experience. In the context of transformative Islamic education, quality-based marketing is further strengthened by Islamic values, which serve as the main differentiating factor of educational institutions. In conclusion, quality-based educational service marketing is an effective and sustainable strategy for enhancing public trust. The integration of educational quality and value-based marketing strategies is key to building the competitive advantage of transformative Islamic educational institutions.

Reconstructing Moral Internalization in Islamic Religious Education for Generation Z in the Digital Era
The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly transformed the processes of learning, communication, and moral development among Generation Z, creating new challenges for Islamic Religious Education (IRE). Conventional approaches to moral internalization, which primarily emphasize knowledge transmission, role modeling, and habituation, require conceptual reconstruction to remain relevant in digitally mediated educational environments. This study aims to reconstruct the concept of moral internalization in Islamic Religious Education for Generation Z in the digital era through an integrative literature review. The study systematically synthesized scholarly publications on Islamic education, moral education, character development, digital pedagogy, and Generation Z to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework. The findings indicate that effective moral internalization should no longer be understood as a linear pedagogical process but as a multidimensional and transformative educational process integrating cognitive understanding, spiritual awareness, emotional engagement, digital ethical literacy, social participation, and reflective practice. The proposed framework also emphasizes the collaborative roles of teachers, families, educational institutions, and digital environments in fostering sustainable moral development. Theoretically, this study contributes by expanding existing perspectives on Islamic Religious Education through a contextually responsive conceptual model suitable for contemporary digital societies. Practically, the reconstructed framework provides valuable guidance for curriculum development, instructional innovation, teacher professional development, and educational policy aimed at strengthening moral education for Generation Z while preserving the fundamental ethical principles of Islamic education amid ongoing digital transformation.

Eksplorasi Pengalaman Guru Sekolah Dasar dalam Mengimplementasikan Pembelajaran Berdiferensiasi pada Kurikulum Merdeka
The implementation of the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) promotes differentiated learning as a key strategy for student-centered education. However, elementary school teachers still face challenges in addressing students’ diverse learning needs. This study aimed to explore elementary school teachers’ experiences in implementing differentiated learning in Deli Serdang Regency. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings revealed that teachers generally understood and implemented differentiated learning by adapting content, learning processes, and learning products to students’ needs. This approach increased students’ engagement, motivation, participation, and self-confidence during learning. Nevertheless, teachers encountered several challenges, including limited instructional time, large class sizes, difficulties in conducting diagnostic assessments, developing differentiated teaching materials, and limited learning facilities. To address these challenges, teachers collaborated through Teacher Working Groups (KKG), participated in professional development programs, and utilized the Merdeka Mengajar Platform. The study concludes that differentiated learning has been implemented reasonably well in elementary schools in Deli Serdang Regency. However, strengthening teacher competency, school leadership support, and adequate educational resources remains essential to optimize the implementation of the Independent Curriculum and student-centered learning.

Paulo Freire's Philosophy of Education in the Review of Islamic Education
Liberating Educationas a concept in Paulo Freire's Philosophy of Education emphasizes the process of conscientization, which refers to the process of humanizing human beings. Education must involve critical awareness as an implication of the dialogical process that serves as its spirit. Thus, dialogue becomes a tool for liberation and positions human beings equally as subjects of change. This paper examines how this concept, which originates from Western epistemology, is viewed from the perspective of Islamic educational studies, so that Paulo Freire's concept does not lose its spiritual meaning. In Islam, education has three dimensions: first, the divine dimension (ilahiyah), which explains the relationship between individuals and their God; second, the human dimension (insaniyah), which explains the relationship between individuals and other human beings; and third, the natural dimension ('alamiyah), which explains the relationship between individuals and the universe.

Memory as Moral Formation: Intergenerational Storytelling in Psalm 78:1-8 as a Paradigm for Faithful Discipleship
Psalm 78:1–8 presents memory not merely as the preservation of Israel's past but as a formative theological practice through which covenant identity, moral character, and faithful discipleship are transmitted across generations. This article investigates how intergenerational storytelling functions as a divinely ordained pedagogical strategy that transforms communal memory into ethical responsibility. Employing a historical-literary and theological exegetical approach, the study analyzes the structure, vocabulary, and theological motifs of Psalm 78:1–8, paying particular attention to the relationship between remembering God's mighty acts, covenant fidelity, and the formation of successive generations. Drawing on theories of collective memory and moral formation, the article argues that biblical remembrance is an active and communal process that shapes identity rather than a passive recollection of historical events. The psalm portrays storytelling as a covenantal practice that cultivates trust in God, obedience to divine instruction, and resilience against the recurring pattern of forgetfulness and rebellion. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the intergenerational transmission of faith serves as a paradigm for contemporary Christian discipleship, where narrative participation fosters theological imagination and moral formation within families and faith communities. By integrating biblical exegesis with theological reflection, this article contributes to Old Testament scholarship and practical theology by proposing that covenant memory remains an indispensable foundation for sustaining faithful discipleship across generations in an increasingly fragmented and memory-deficient cultural context.

Pembelajaran Kooperatif sebagai Strategi Peningkatan Keterampilan Membaca Bahasa Arab di Pesantren
Arabic reading instruction in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) continues to face several challenges, including limited vocabulary mastery, difficulties in comprehending sentence structures, low levels of students' active participation, and the predominance of teacher-centered instructional approaches. Although cooperative learning has been widely examined in language education, studies that specifically position it as a strategy for enhancing Arabic reading skills within the pesantren context remain relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the implementation of cooperative learning as a strategy for improving the Arabic reading skills (mahārah qirā’ah) of students in an Islamic boarding school. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, the research involved 30 first-year senior secondary (Aliyah) students at Darullughah Wadda’wah Islamic Boarding School. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, field notes, and instructional documentation, and were analyzed using data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that cooperative learning enables students to comprehend vocabulary in context, identify main ideas and detailed information, increase classroom participation, strengthen self-confidence, and foster peer-assisted learning. The study's analytical contribution lies in demonstrating that cooperative learning should be understood not merely as a group-work technique but as a pedagogical framework that integrates social constructivism, peer scaffolding, and the pesantren tradition of collective learning to strengthen Arabic reading proficiency (mahārah qirā’ah).

"Do This in Remembrance of Me": A Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation of the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
The Lord's Supper is one of the most fundamental liturgical practices in the Christian tradition. Among the key texts that shape the church's understanding of this sacrament is 1 Corinthians 11:23-29, where the Apostle Paul transmits the tradition he "received" regarding the institution of the Lord's Supper, framed by the command: "Do this in remembrance of Me." This article argues that this command is not merely a memorial ritual but a theological and rhetorical act that forms the identity and communal life of the believing community. Using Vernon K. Robbins' socio-rhetorical interpretation, the study analyzes five textures of the text: inner texture (linguistic patterns, narrative structure, declarative-imperative dynamics), intertexture (connections to Jewish Passover tradition), social and cultural texture (interaction with Mediterranean banquet customs), ideological texture (construction of apostolic authority, deconstruction of honor-shame ideology, and reconstruction of community identity), and sacred texture (discourse on covenant, eschatological presence, and judgment). The findings demonstrate that Paul's corrective response to the Corinthian community, which had allowed social stratification to distort the meaning of the Supper, shows that the Eucharist cannot be separated from communal ethics and social justice. The command "Do this in remembrance of Me" is thus a call for the church to embody the meaning of the cross in solidarity, unity, and faithful witness. This study contributes to the discourse on biblical interpretation and liturgical theology, offering a reading that is contextual, ethically engaged, and relevant for contemporary church practice.

One of the regional languages that is part of Indonesia's linguistic wealth is the Kaili language spoken by the people in Central Sulawesi. This study aims to describe the use of nominal, verbal, adjectival, and adverbial affixes in the syntactic constructions of the Rai Dialect of the Kaili Language. The study is motivated by the importance of understanding the relationship between affixation processes and the syntactic functions of words in sentence formation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a syntactic approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of native speakers’ utterances. The findings indicate that nominal, verbal, adjectival, and adverbial affixes play significant roles in determining syntactic functions such as subjects, predicates, objects, complements, and adverbials. Affixation not only influences word categories but also contributes to the relationships among sentence constituents. The results of this study are expected to enrich syntactic studies of regional languages, particularly the Rai Dialect of Kaili, and support efforts to document and preserve local languages in Indonesia.

Strategi Guru Mengatasi Perilaku Disruptif Siswa dalam Mendukung Pembelajaran Efektif
Student disruptive behavior is one of the problems faced by many elementary school teachers in managing classes, especially for lower grade students who are in the transition period from play to formal learning so that they do not yet have fully mature self-control. This study aims to describe and analyze teacher strategies in dealing with student disruptive behavior to support effective learning. This study uses a case study approach. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, with data validity guaranteed through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the study indicate that (1) The most dominant disruptive behavior is talking outside the learning context, followed by behavior that disturbs friends, walking around without permission, and not paying attention to teacher explanations; (2) Supporting factors for the implementation of teacher strategies include pedagogical competence, teaching experience, school environmental support, and parental support, while inhibiting factors include less varied teaching methods, limited facilities and equipment, lack of parental attention, peer influence, and teacher emotional exhaustion. This study concludes that appropriate and correct teacher strategies can overcome disruptive behavior and make a positive contribution to effective learning.

Manajemen Perpustakaan dalam Meningkatkan Minat Baca Siswa
School libraries are a crucial component of the elementary education ecosystem, serving as learning resource centers, information centers, and drivers of literacy culture. However, library management at the elementary school level often faces classic obstacles, ranging from limited collection variety, inadequate facilities, low student visits, and suboptimal management amidst the challenges of digital device disruption. This study aims to describe and analyze in depth library management, including aspects of planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling, in order to increase student reading interest. Furthermore, this study identifies supporting and inhibiting factors that influence the effectiveness of library management. This study uses a qualitative case study approach. Data collection was conducted through participatory observation of physical conditions and services, interviews with the principal, library managers, teachers, and students, and documentation studies. Data analysis techniques were carried out interactively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification. The results show that effective and systematic library management contributes significantly to increasing student reading interest. The conclusion of this research is that inclusive and well-organized library management not only fulfills physical comfort (aesthetic value) but also stimulates students to build knowledge independently (constructivism principle).

The Mapping the Current Practice of Religious Character Education Management Based on Islamic Religious Education: A Multi-Case Study in Islamic Elementary Schools in Balikpapan City, Indonesia
Religious character education based on Islamic Religious Education (IRE) plays an important role in strengthening students' moral and spiritual development. However, evidence regarding its management in Islamic elementary schools remains limited. This study aims to describe the management of IRE-based religious character education in three Islamic elementary schools in Balikpapan City, Indonesia, through five management functions: planning, organizing, actuating, controlling, and innovation. A descriptive qualitative multi-case study was conducted as the preliminary needs analysis stage of a broader research and development project. Data were collected through interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and document analysis involving principals, IRE teachers, and parents. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model with credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability procedures. The findings indicate that religious habituation programs, including congregational prayer, Qur'an memorization, and character-building activities, have been implemented in all schools. However, these programs are managed as routine activities rather than as an integrated management system. Planning remains normative without systematic needs assessment, organizing depends largely on IRE teachers, controlling lacks standardized evaluation instruments, and innovation is limited and unsustained. Cross-case analysis also reveals weak collaboration between schools and families in reinforcing religious character, especially during school holidays. The study concludes that an integrated, evidence-based management model is needed to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of religious character education in Islamic elementary schools.

Regenerasi Ulama di Era Digital: Tantangan Modernisasi Pesantren dan Optimalisasi Pendidikan Kader Ulama sebagai Solusi Berkelanjutan
The regeneration of ulama faces significant challenges amid the modernization of pesantren and the rapid advancement of digital technology. This study analyzes the dynamics between traditional pesantren education and the Pendidikan Kader Ulama (PKU) program initiated by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), with a focus on digital-era adaptations. Using a qualitative library research approach, data were drawn from the foundational 2020 study by Ependi and Penggabean, supplemented by recent scholarly sources (2021–2026), policy documents, and program reports. Findings reveal persistent issues: declining mastery of classical yellow books (kitab kuning) due to curriculum shifts (70% general knowledge), accreditation problems of PTKU programs, and the erosion of ulama authority from political involvement and the rise of non-formal preachers. However, digital tools offer opportunities for hybrid learning, wider dissemination of kitab kuning interpretations, and enhanced cadre recruitment. This research proposes an optimization framework integrating digital platforms while preserving traditional values. The novelty lies in bridging historical analysis with contemporary digital solutions for sustainable ulama regeneration in Indonesia. Implications include policy recommendations for MUI, Kemenag, and pesantren leaders to strengthen formal recognition and digital integration.

Eksistensi Sekolah Islam Unggulan dalam Membangun Daya Saing Pendidikan Nasional
This research aims to examine the existence of superior Islamic schools in strengthening the competitiveness of national education in the midst of the dynamics of globalization, technological developments, and the transformation of the modern education system. This study focuses on the role of leading Islamic schools in improving academic quality, building the religious character of students, and developing learning innovations and quality-oriented educational governance. The research uses a qualitative approach with the library research method through the analysis of various scientific sources in the form of journals, books, and previous research results that are relevant to Islamic education and educational competitiveness. The results of the study show that superior Islamic schools are able to build a competitive advantage through the application of an integrative curriculum that combines general knowledge with Islamic values holistically. In addition, strengthening religious culture, the use of digital technology in learning, the professionalism of educators, and visionary school leadership are strategic factors in improving the quality of Islamic educational institutions. The existence of superior Islamic schools also reflects the ability of Islamic education to respond to the demands of social change without ignoring the identity and spiritual values that are the main foundation of education. Thus, superior Islamic schools have an important contribution in producing human resources that are not only academically competitive, but also have moral integrity, adaptive abilities, and religious character that are relevant to the needs of national education in the era of globalization.

Kontribusi Alumni Perguruan Tinggi Barat terhadap Modernisasi Perguruan Tinggi Islam di Indonesia
The modernization of Islamic universities in Indonesia cannot be separated from the role of academics who have studied in Western universities since the 1970s. This study aims to examine the contribution of alumni of Western universities to the modernization process of Islamic Religious Universities (PTKI) in Indonesia, both in the aspects of scientific methodology, curriculum, institutional, and scientific integration discourse. This study uses a qualitative approach of the type of library research with historical-descriptive and analytical-critical methods, through content analysis of primary data in the form of works of related figures (Harun Nasution, Mukti Ali, Nurcholish Madjid, Azyumardi Azra, and others) as well as secondary data from books, scientific journals, and policy documents. The results of the study show that alumni of Western universities bring a rational, historical, and phenomenological approach that transforms Islamic studies from a dogmatic-normative nature to a critical-analytical nature, encourages the transformation of the curriculum from the focus of classical Islamic science to a more interdisciplinary one, and becomes a driver of the transfer of the status of a number of IAINs to UIN as a symbol of the integration of religious science and general science. These alumni also play a role in adapting the discourse on the Islamization of science and the paradigm of scientific integration-interconnection into the context of Indonesian Islamic higher education. Although there are concerns about the potential for a shift in the authenticity of classical Islamic science due to the dominance of the Western paradigm, the research findings conclude that the contribution of these alumni in general has a positive impact on strengthening the academic base, improving the quality of research, and openness of PTKI to the development of global science without losing its Islamic identity.

Gerakan dan Modernisasi Pendididkan Islam
This article examines the movement and modernization of Islamic education as a response to the backwardness of the Muslim community caused by static thinking (jumud) and the practice of taqlid. The study employs a library research method with content analysis of literature from the past ten years. The findings indicate that the modernization of Islamic education is understood as a process of renewing paradigms and educational systems aimed at improving the quality of education, in line with the meaning of reform. There are three main patterns of modernization: orientation toward Western educational systems, orientation toward the purification of Islamic teachings, and orientation toward the cultural wealth of each nation with a spirit of nationalism. Reformist figures such as Muhammad Abduh, Jamaluddin al-Afghani, and Ahmad Dahlan played an important role in integrating Islamic values with modern needs. The challenges of modernization in the digital era include value secularization, moral crises, cultural globalization, as well as limited digital literacy and educational infrastructure. This article emphasizes that the modernization of Islamic education is a necessity to maintain the relevance of Islamic teachings while responding to the demands of the times.

UIN, IAIN, STAIN: Perkembangan Epistemologi dan Institusi Perguruan Tinggi Islam Indonesia
This study examines the institutional and epistemological development of three types of State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN) in Indonesia, namely State Islamic Religious Colleges (STAIN), State Islamic Religious Institutes (IAIN), and State Islamic Universities (UIN). Using the library research method with a qualitative approach, this study examines the institutional transformation from STAIN to IAIN and then UIN as part of the dynamics of modernization of Islamic education. Epistemologically, the change in institutional status is not merely an expansion of the structure, but reflects a paradigmatic shift from the Islamization of a single discipline to the integration-interconnection of science. The case study at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang shows significant growth: from 28 study programs with 9,200 students in 2010 to 63 study programs with 24,750 students in 2024. The findings of the study illustrate that the conversion to UIN encourages a real epistemic expansion, despite being faced with the challenge of Islamic scientific identity in the midst of the expansion of general science. This research contributes by offering an epistemological-institutional comparative analysis framework that has not been widely developed in the Indonesian Islamic education literature.

Pendidikan Islam Berbasis Multikultural di Indonesia: Analisis Pemikiran Azyumardi Azra dan James A. Banks
Indonesia as a multicultural nation, faces increasingly complex challenges in fostering a harmonious society amid its diverse religious, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. In this context, Islamic education is expected not only to promote individual piety but also to cultivate the values of tolerance, justice, equality, dialogue, and respect for diversity. This article aims to describe and analyze Azyumardi Azra’s perspective on multicultural Islamic education in Indonesia and to compare it with the concept of multicultural education developed by James A. Banks. This study employed a qualitative approach using a library research method, while the data were analyzed through content analysis of the primary works of both scholars, supported by relevant academic literature. The findings reveal that Azyumardi Azra views multicultural Islamic education as a strategic instrument for strengthening national integration through the internalization of moderate, inclusive, democratic, and nationally oriented Islamic values (Azra, 2003, 2019); (Idris, 2020) Meanwhile, James A. Banks emphasizes that multicultural education should be implemented through curriculum reform, equitable pedagogy, prejudice reduction, the empowerment of school culture, and the promotion of social justice, thereby ensuring equal educational opportunities for all students regardless of their backgrounds (J. A. Banks, 2016; J. A. Banks & Banks, 2019). The analysis further demonstrates that, despite their different epistemological foundations, both scholars converge on the view that education serves as a transformative medium for fostering respect for diversity and developing democratic citizens. Their ideas provide a robust conceptual foundation for the development of Islamic education in Indonesia by integrating Islamic values with the principles of multiculturalism, thereby strengthening social cohesion and preserving national unity within a pluralistic society.

Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Pembentukan Intelegensia Muslim Sebagai Kelas Sosial Baru: Tinjauan Sosiologi Pendidikan
The development of Indonesian Muslim society in the modern era is marked by the emergence of Muslim intellectual groups that hold strategic positions in education, bureaucracy, economics, politics, and knowledge production. This phenomenon shows that Islamic Religious Education (PAI) not only serves to transmit religious values but also helps form new social groups with intellectual, cultural, and religious capital. This study aims to analyze the role of PAI in the process of forming Muslim intelligence as a new social class through the perspective of the sociology of education. The research uses a qualitative approach, specifically library research. Data were obtained from books, scientific journal articles, and academic documents relevant to the themes of Islamic education, Muslim intellectuals, and social stratification. Data analysis is carried out through content analysis techniques and critical interpretation of various literature sources. The results of the study show that PAI serves as an instrument of social mobility through internalizing values, mastering knowledge, forming an intellectual ethos, and accumulating cultural capital. This group not only serves as an agent for the reproduction of Islamic values but also as an actor in social transformation that bridges Islamic tradition and the demands of modernity. This research confirms that PAI has a strategic contribution in giving birth to a Muslim intelligence class that plays an important role in the development of contemporary Muslim society.

Tradisi Menulis Ulama Indonesia (Abad ke-19 s.d 21)
The phenomenon of the writing tradition of Indonesian scholars today shows that there is an integral part in the development of Islamic intellectuals that have strong theological roots and a strategic role in building Islamic civilization. This article aims to analyze the doctrinal roots of the writing tradition in Islam, the dynamics of the ups and downs, especially in Indonesia, the map of scholars' scientific treasures, and the profile of prolific writers and their influences. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research. The results of the study show that the writing tradition of Indonesian scholars from the 19th to the 21st century developed dynamically, influenced by internal factors such as religious and external motivations such as socio-political conditions as well as the development of the times and technology. Theoretically, this tradition can be understood through the perspective of social constructivism and scientific habitus that shape the literacy culture of scholars.

Hakikat Materi Pendidikan Agama Islam: Substansi, Struktur, dan Sejarah Perkembangannya
Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in shaping students who are faithful, pious, and have noble character in accordance with the goals of national education. The success of PAI implementation is greatly influenced by learning materials that not only serve as a means of transferring religious knowledge but also as a medium for internalizing Islamic values ​​in students' lives. However, PAI materials are often understood partially and tend to be normative, thus not fully able to meet the needs of contextual learning in the modern era. This article aims to describe the nature of Islamic Religious Education materials, the substance contained therein, their structure in the education system, and the history of their development. This study uses a library research approach by utilizing various relevant literature sources as primary data. The analysis was conducted through descriptive analysis techniques of various literature on Islamic Religious Education materials. The results of the study indicate that PAI materials are a set of teaching materials sourced from the Qur'an, Hadith, and the results of ijtihad of scholars compiled to shape students who are faithful, pious, and have noble character. The substance of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) material encompasses faith, sharia, morals, the Quran and Hadith, and the history of Islamic culture, all systematically structured and interconnected. The development of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) material has undergone dynamics since the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the modern era, influenced by social, political, cultural, and educational developments. Therefore, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) material must be understood as a holistic, integrative, and adaptive whole.

Agama di Panggung Digital: Fenomena Ulama Selebriti dan Budaya Populer
The phenomenon of celebrity clerics in Indonesia represents a crossroads between traditional religious authority and contemporary popular cultural dynamics. This research aims to explore in depth the socio-religious background of the emergence of celebrity scholars, identify their main forms of activities, compare their positions with conventional scholars, analyze their role in the formation of religious culture, and evaluate their socio-religious contributions in Indonesian Muslim society. Using a qualitative approach with a critical literature study design, this study analyzes the sources from the indexed journals Sinta 1-3 and Scopus Q1-Q3 published in the last decade. Data analysis was carried out through deductive thematic based on the framework of Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital, Stark & Bainbridge's religious economics, and Hjarvard's religious mediatization. The findings suggest that celebrity clerics emerged in response to the democratization of digital information that shifted religious authority from institutional to personal. They operate through the digital media ecosystem by adopting the logic of entertainment without abandoning religious substance, albeit with the consequence of a reduction in the depth of content. Socio-religiously, this phenomenon contributes to the expansion of the reach of da'wah and the reconfiguration of popular Islamic identity in Indonesia, while presenting challenges in the form of religious commodification and fragmentation of ulema authority. The novelty of this research lies in the integrative analytical framework that connects the mediatization of religion, symbolic capital, and popular cultural dynamics in the context of Indonesian Islam.

Pendidikan Islam di Era Disrupsi Abad ke-21
The acceleration of technology in the 21st-century era of disruption and the transition toward the BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, Incomprehensible) framework confront Islamic Education with complex existential challenges, impacting both student morality and institutional readiness. This study aims to map the primary challenges of Islamic Education, identify emerging trends in curriculum innovation and learning methodologies, and formulate contemporary educator competency standards relevant to modern demands. Employing a systematic literature review approach, this study analyzed 20 empirical journal articles on Islamic Education published between 2019 and 2026. The findings reveal that the core challenges center on digital moral disorientation among students and limited technological infrastructure. In response, a strategic shift has emerged toward reconstructing holistic-integralistic curricula that merge science and religion, optimizing instructional digital ecosystems such as AI and online platforms, and establishing tripartite collaborations with families. Furthermore, a new consensus demands that Islamic Education teachers transform into agents of religious moderation by mastering techno-pedagogical skills and employing an interdisciplinary approach that integrates Sufism values with digital literacy. Ultimately, this study concludes that navigating the era of disruption requires a dynamic harmonization between cyber-technological acceleration and moral-spiritual resilience to foster a globally competitive generation of insan kāmil (the perfect human)

Sintesis Wahyu dan Akal: Dialektika Filsafat Ibnu Rusyd sebagai Model Pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam Modern
Modern Islamic education faces increasingly complex challenges amid the developments of globalization, the digital revolution, and rapid social change. One of the fundamental issues that still persists is the dichotomy between religious knowledge and rational knowledge, which results in a learning process that tends to be normative and textual, and fails to foster the development of students’ critical thinking. This situation leads to weak reflective and dialogical abilities in understanding the realities of modern life. In this context, Ibn Rushd’s thought offers an integrative paradigm through the synthesis of revelation and reason as the epistemological foundation for a more humanistic and rational Islamic education. This article aims to analyze the dialectics of Ibn Rushd’s philosophy as a model for modern Islamic education that is relevant to the educational needs of the 21st century. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research methods through the analysis of various scholarly works related to the philosophy of Islamic education, the integration of knowledge, and the thought of Ibn Rushd. The results indicate that the concepts of burhani, jadali, and khitabi developed by Ibn Rushd have strong relevance to modern learning approaches such as critical thinking, problem-based learning, and collaborative learning. Furthermore, the synthesis of revelation and reason in Ibn Rushd’s thought can serve as an epistemological solution to the problem of the dichotomy of knowledge and religious radicalism.

Types and Functions of Code Mixing in Fanfare Song Lyrics by TWICE
Code-mixing is a common linguistic phenomenon in popular music, particularly in Japanese-language songs performed by Korean pop (K-Pop) artists, whose blending of Japanese and English lyrics reflects globalized and multicultural communication strategies. This study aims to identify and describe the types and functions of code-mixing found in the lyrics of TWICE's Japanese song Fanfare, focusing on the linguistic form as well as the pragmatic function of the code-mixed elements within the lyrics. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using Muysken's (2000) theory of code-mixing types and Appel & Muysken's (2005) theory of code-mixing functions; the data, obtained from the song's official lyrics published on Spotify and Genius, were collected through a note-taking observation method and analyzed through identification, classification, and functional analysis, with Japanese established as the matrix language. The findings revealed 17 instances of code-mixing, consisting of seven insertion-type and ten alternation-type occurrences, while no instances of congruent lexicalization were identified due to the structural differences between Japanese and English. Furthermore, 27 occurrences of code-mixing functions were found, comprising expressive (11), directive (7), phatic (4), poetic (4), and referential (1) functions. The expressive function was the most dominant, indicating that code-mixing in Fanfare primarily serves to express feelings and emotions in conveying the song's motivational message. These findings confirm that code-mixing in song lyrics is not a coincidental form of language variation but a deliberate, functional linguistic strategy that strengthens meaning and communicative appeal.

Implementasi Pembelajaran Bilingual pada Mata Pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Peningkatan Kecakapan Berbahasa Siswa di SMA Negeri 2 Sangatta Utara
This study investigated the implementation of a bilingual classroom program within Islamic Education (PAI) subjects at SMAN 2 Sangatta Utara using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were gathered through passive participant observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and then analyzed through an interactive framework. The findings indicated that the program was executed systematically by integrating national curricula with international linguistic goals through code-switching, bilingual slides, and project-based learning. However, several operational barriers emerged, including teachers' limited linguistic competencies, severe shortage of standardized bilingual materials, potential semantic biases in translating sensitive theological concepts, sharp disparities in students' English proficiency, and limited instructional time. To address these challenges, integrated solutions were deployed, encompassing In-House Training (IHT) for teachers, customized scaffolding-based worksheets, standardized mini-dictionaries, differentiated learning strategies, and the flipped classroom model. Additionally, utilizing interactive quiz apps and initiating custom thematic bilingual days successfully reduced cognitive overload and built a supportive ecosystem. In conclusion, the systematic collaboration between teacher capacity building, technological adaptation, and inclusive management successfully sustained the quality of this global competency innovation.

Aktualisasi Nilai-Nilai Akhlak Karimah Dalam Perspektif Al-Qur’an
This study analyzes the concept of Actualization of Noble Moral Values ​​from the Perspective of the Qur'an and its comparison with morality and character education. Akhlaq is understood as a reflection of personality that determines human dignity both as individuals and as members of society. Etymologically, akhlaq (khuluq) is closely related to Khaliq (the Creator) and makhluq (the created), emphasizing the existence of both vertical and horizontal dimensions of relationships. This paper highlights the phenomenon of moral decline in modern behavior that deviates from Qur’anic values, such as backbiting (ghibah), negative suspicion, and conflicts on social media. Through a terminological approach proposed by scholars such as Al-Ghazali, akhlaq is defined as a disposition firmly rooted in the soul from which actions arise spontaneously without requiring deliberate thought. The analysis reveals a fundamental difference in sources of values: akhlaq is grounded in divine revelation that is universal and eternal, whereas morality is based on social consensus and character (budi pekerti) relies on human reason. The internalization of these values is emphasized as the key to achieving both spiritual and worldly well-being.

Transformasi Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam di Era Digital: Tantangan, Peluang, dan Strategi Implementasi
The rapid advancement of digital technology, driven by the Industrial Revolution 4.0, Society 5.0, and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), has transformed educational practices, including Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam/PAI). This transformation requires innovative learning approaches that integrate digital technology while maintaining Islamic values and character development. This study aims to analyze the transformation of PAI learning in the digital era by identifying its challenges, opportunities, and implementation strategies. The research employed a qualitative library research approach using relevant scientific literature, including journal articles, books, and policy documents published between 2021 and 2026. Data were analyzed through content analysis involving data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and synthesis. The findings indicate that digital transformation enhances learning through AI, Learning Management Systems, blended learning, and adaptive learning. However, significant challenges remain, including limited digital competence among teachers, ethical concerns regarding AI, information overload, cyber risks, and declining critical thinking skills among students. Therefore, successful implementation requires strengthening digital pedagogy, AI literacy, curriculum innovation, institutional support, and the integration of Islamic values into technology-based learning. This study concludes that digital transformation in PAI should prioritize technological innovation while preserving the moral, spiritual, and educational objectives of Islamic education to create adaptive, ethical, and meaningful learning experiences.

Boosting Learner Motivation: Approaches to Increase Student Engagement in English Classes at SMA and SMK
In an increasingly globalized world, English has become a fundamental component of education, yet many students in non-native contexts exhibit low motivation and engagement in English language classes. This phenomenon is especially prevalent at the secondary education level, where students often perceive English as a mandatory subject with limited personal relevance. This study investigates practical strategies for enhancing learner motivation based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), which emphasizes autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from 6 English teachers and 40 students at SMA and SMK Darul Falah Mataram through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, questionnaires, and document analysis. Thematic analysis revealed five key strategies that significantly improved student engagement: autonomy-supportive practices, real-world content integration, scaffolded feedback, collaborative learning activities, and technology-enhanced instruction. Findings show that students are more engaged when they are given meaningful choices, relevant materials, constructive feedback, supportive peer environments, and access to digital learning tools. These strategies address core psychological needs and foster intrinsic motivation, leading to more active participation and sustained interest in language learning. Notably, differences were observed between SMA and SMK students regarding the types of content and activities that most effectively motivated them, with SMK students showing stronger engagement when vocational English was integrated into lessons. The study recommends a shift from traditional teacher-centered methods to more student-centered, contextually responsive approaches to maximize learning outcomes and engagement in English language education at the secondary level.

Ethical Leadership in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) Education and Management
This study is grounded in the importance of ethical leadership in the management of Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) laboratories, which play a pivotal role in ensuring service quality, workplace safety, and professional accountability within educational and healthcare settings. The study aims to integrate the concept of ethical leadership with moral philosophy to understand their combined role in supporting effective and sustainable laboratory management practices. A systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing relevant sources concerning ethical leadership, moral philosophy, and health laboratory management. The findings indicate that moral philosophical principles such as deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and the ethics of care serve as the normative foundation for decision-making by laboratory leaders. Ethical leadership acts as a bridge between moral values ​​and operational practices by fostering a safety culture, enhancing personnel accountability, and maintaining sustainable service quality. Furthermore, ethics education and leadership development are deemed essential for shaping the professional character of laboratory and healthcare personnel, thereby directly impacting the quality of diagnostic results and patient safety. In conclusion, MLT laboratory leadership should be viewed as a moral practice rooted in robust ethical principles and manifested through ethical policies and organizational culture, thereby supporting the sustainability of service quality and safety in laboratory management.

Islamic Ethics in Personal and Social Life Tolerance and Interfaith Dialogue in Islamic History
This article examines historically the practice of tolerance and interreligious dialogue in Islamic civilization, starting from the period of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Medina, the era of the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphate, to the plurality of al-Andalus (Islamic Spain). Using a historical-critical approach and analysis of primary and secondary sources, this study argues that tolerance in Islam is not just a pragmatic concession but has strong theological roots in the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah. The findings show that Muslim societies have historically succeeded in building a social ecosystem that allows for productive coexistence between Muslims, Christians, Jews, and adherents of other religions, which is manifested through legal mechanisms (dzimmi systems, interreligious agreements), intellectual (translation movements, philosophical debates), and culture (mutual influence in art, architecture, and science). This article also discusses the relevance of this historical heritage to contemporary interreligious dialogue discourse in the midst of the challenges of global radicalism and Islamophobia.

Islamic Ethics in Personal and Social Life
This research aims to examine the concept and implementation of Islamic ethics in personal and social life based on the latest scientific literature review. The method used is library research with a descriptive-analytical approach, through the analysis of primary sources in the form of the Qur'an and Hadith as well as secondary sources such as journals and academic books. The results of the study show that Islamic ethics is a theocentric and comprehensive value system, including human relations with God (ḥabl min Allāh) and human relations with others (ḥabl min al-nās). In personal life, Islamic ethics play a role in shaping individual character through the internalization of values such as honesty, trust, patience, and responsibility. Meanwhile, in social life, Islamic ethics function as a guideline in creating harmonious interactions through the principles of justice, tolerance, and help. This research also found that technological developments and globalization are challenges in the application of Islamic ethics, especially in the context of digital communication. Therefore, strengthening strategies through education, family roles, digital literacy, and contextual approaches are needed so that Islamic ethical values remain relevant and applicable in modern life.

Islam and the Arts: A Humanities Study of Islamic Calligraphy, Music, and Architecture
Art in Islamic civilization is often reduced to a dichotomy of haram and halal, whereas the classical Islamic intellectual tradition views beauty as a manifestation of monotheism that unites theological, aesthetic, and human dimensions. Academic studies that integrate Islamic calligraphy, music, and architecture within a single humanities framework are still very limited, so the understanding of Islamic art tends to be fragmented between branches. This research aims to analyze how the three branches of art, integratively, represent monotheism as a transcendental aesthetic principle that unites the spiritual, humanistic, and civilizational dimensions in Islamic art. The research uses the library research method with a philosophical-humanistic approach, through eight stages, namely problem identification, literature search, literature selection, data extraction, content analysis, philosophical interpretation, synthesis, and conclusion drawn, with the analytical framework of aesthetic theory of Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Ismail Raji al-Faruqi, and Titus Burckhardt. The results of the study show that calligraphy represents monotheism textually-visually, music represents it auditorially-spiritually through the sama' and qasidah traditions, and architecture represents it spatially through the geometry and light of the mosque, so that the three meet at the same generative point, namely monotheism. This study concludes that the integrative humanities approach makes a new theoretical contribution to understanding Islamic art as a coherent monotheistic aesthetic system, as well as relevant for strengthening the identity of contemporary Islamic civilization.

Management Strategy for Al-Qur'an Education Parks Based on a Quality Assurance System to Improve Students' Competence in Reading the Al-Qur'an
Qur'anic Education Centers (Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur'an or TPQ) play a strategic role as non-formal Islamic educational institutions in developing students' competence in reading the Qur'an. This study aims to analyze the management strategies employed by TPQ Nursalam Surakarta to improve students' competence in reading the Qur'an and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its management. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation using both primary and secondary data sources. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the management strategy of TPQ Nursalam Surakarta is implemented through systematic learning planning, effective organization of teaching staff, the implementation of Qur'anic learning according to students' competency levels, and periodic evaluation of learning outcomes. These strategies contribute to improving students' competence in terms of reading fluency, accurate pronunciation (makhraj), and the application of tajwid rules. The successful implementation of the management strategy is supported by active participation from the local community, parents, religious leaders, mosque administrators, and local government through both moral and material support. The main challenges include the limited number and competence of teaching staff, inadequate teacher welfare, and insufficient learning facilities and infrastructure. The study concludes that well-planned, participatory, and adaptive management strategies are essential for improving students' competence in reading the Qur'an at TPQ.

The principle of Moderation in the Qur'an, Surah al-Baqarah, Verse 143
Socio-religious polarization, intolerance, and the rejection of religious moderation resulting from the weak theological grounding of the faithful at the grassroots level have triggered serious national tensions. This study aims to extract the principle of moderation in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 143, through a comparison of classical and contemporary interpretations from the Indonesian archipelago. The research method employs a qualitative literature review using a thematic (maudhu’i) exegetical approach to the interpretations of Al-Tabari, Hamka, and Quraish Shihab. The findings reveal a hermeneutical evolution from Al-Tabari’s classical theological-eschatological framework toward the practical, community-oriented approach of Hamka and Quraish Shihab in the Nusantara region. Specifically, Al-Tabari focuses on justice as a witness to the afterlife; Hamka emphasizes the resilience of the nationalist-religious struggle; while Quraish Shihab highlights the dialogical aspect of social inclusiveness. From this dialectic, a blueprint for the three operational pillars of wasathiyah is formulated: the epistemological pillar (the harmonization of reason and revelation), the practical-ethical pillar (the balance of social rights and obligations), and the socio-cultural pillar (active tolerance based on local wisdom). As a concrete recommendation, the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs, interfaith leaders, and educators must organically integrate this three-pillar operational blueprint into the national curriculum and community outreach modules.

Disrupsi AI terhadap Pembelajaran Agama Islam Tinjaun Filsafat Islam
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought major changes in the world of education, including in the learning of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). This study aims to examine the opportunities, challenges, and impacts of using AI in PAI learning based on the perspective of Islamic philosophy. The research uses the library research method by examining various books, scientific articles, and journals related to the research topic. The results of the study show that AI provides many benefits in learning, such as helping to tailor materials to the needs of students, providing chatbot-based learning assistants, monitoring learning progress, presenting more interesting learning simulations, and facilitating access to various sources of Islamic knowledge. Nonetheless, AI also has limitations because it only works based on data and algorithms. AI cannot replace the role of revelation, reason, spiritual values, or the process of forming students' morals. In the view of Islamic philosophy, teachers remain the main figures as murabbi, mu'allim, and mu'addib who guide, educate, and provide examples to students. Therefore, AI should be used as a learning tool that supports the application of Deep Learning through Meaningful Learning, Mindful Learning, and Joyful Learning, without ignoring Islamic values. Thus, the use of AI can improve the quality of learning while maintaining the main goal of Islamic education, which is to form knowledgeable, noble, and pious human beings.

Konsep Adab dalam Pendidikan Karakter: Implementasi Pemikiran Syed Naquib Al-attas di Lembaga Pendidikan Islam
The moral crisis and character deterioration in the world of education today are rooted in the loss of the value of manners in the learning process. This research aims to explore the urgency of adab as the main foundation of character education through the view of Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas. Al-Attas emphasized that the main problem of modern Muslims is not in science and technology but in the loss of adab, which has implications for the chaos of knowledge and the birth of unworthy leaders. This research method uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research. The data were analyzed descriptive-analytically on the main works of Al-Attas on the concept of ta'dib. The results of the study show that in Al-Attas's perspective, education is not just a transfer of knowledge, but the cultivation of adab which includes recognition and acknowledgement as well as awareness of one's abilities and potential, intellect and spirituality towards existing forms and knowledge. The implementation of Al-Attas' thought in Islamic educational institutions demands the integration of intellectual intelligence and spiritual integrity. The findings of the study emphasize that effective character education can only be achieved if educational institutions are able to reactualize the concept of ta'dib, where educators become a mirror of civilization and the curriculum is arranged based on the correct hierarchy of knowledge. Thus, adab is not just a courtesy and complement to the curriculum, but the spirit of the entire process of Islamic education.

Storytelling as a Method of Early Childhood Faith Formation: A Christian Educational Perspective
Faith formation during early childhood constitutes a critical foundation for lifelong spiritual development. Nevertheless, Christian religious education frequently relies on teacher-centered instruction that emphasizes cognitive knowledge over meaningful spiritual engagement. This article examines storytelling as a transformative pedagogical method for fostering faith formation in young children from a Christian educational perspective. Employing a qualitative library research approach, the study synthesizes biblical, theological, educational, and developmental literature to construct a conceptual framework for faith-based storytelling. The analysis demonstrates that storytelling is deeply rooted in the biblical tradition, where narratives function as primary instruments for transmitting faith across generations, as reflected in Deuteronomy 6:4–9, Psalm 78:1–8, and the teaching ministry of Jesus. Furthermore, storytelling aligns with children's cognitive, emotional, and moral development by stimulating imagination, nurturing empathy, strengthening memory, and facilitating personal engagement with biblical truths. Building on these findings, the article proposes a Christian Faith Storytelling Model comprising five interconnected stages: Encounter, Narrative, Reflection, Faith Response, and Habit Formation. This model provides an integrative pedagogical framework that connects biblical narratives with children's lived experiences, enabling the internalization of Christian values and the cultivation of spiritual identity. The study concludes that storytelling is not merely an instructional technique but a transformative pedagogical practice that significantly contributes to holistic faith formation in early childhood within Christian educational contexts.

Development of an Ecotheology-Based Islamic Education Learning Model from the Perspective of Classical and Contemporary Islamic Education
This study aims to develop an ecotheology-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning model from the perspective of classical and contemporary Islamic education as an effort to build students' ecological awareness amidst the global environmental crisis. This research is motivated by the fact that PAI learning tends to be normative and textual, thus failing to integrate ecological values ​​contextually into students' lives. The study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE development model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The results show that the ecotheology-based PAI learning model has a strong philosophical foundation in classical Islamic education through the concepts of adab, morals, and human responsibility as khalifah fil ardh, and is strengthened by a contemporary Islamic education approach that is integrative, contextual, participatory, spiritual-ecological, and oriented towards building students' character. The implementation of the model is carried out through curriculum integration, the use of active learning methods, the habituation of a green school culture, teacher role models, and collaboration with the community. Thus, the development of an ecotheology-based Islamic Education learning model is expected to be able to form students who not only have spiritual piety, but also ecological awareness and social responsibility towards environmental sustainability.

Digital Transformation and Management in the Industry 4.0 Era
The fourth industrial revolution is marked by the implementation of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, big data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence which fundamentally changed the way organizations operate, make decisions, and manage human resources. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of digital transformation on management management on the dimensions of organizational structure, data-driven decision-making, human resource management, business process efficiency, and leadership. The method used was a systematic literature review of 20 international and national indexed journal references for the 2021–2026 period which were purposively selected. The results show that digital transformation is driving an organizational paradigm shift from hierarchical structures to collaborative networks, from intuitive to evidence-based decision-making, as well as from conventional HR management to digital HR with the integration of AI and big data analytics. The results of the NewVantage Partners report referenced by Berndtsson et al. (Berndtsson et al., 2023) show that only 19.3% of Fortune 1000 companies have successfully built a data-driven culture, while non-technical barriers account for 91.9% of the overall data-driven transformation challenges. The conclusions of the study show that the success of digital transformation in management management depends not only on the adoption of technology, but also on the readiness of the organization's culture, digital leadership, and the dynamic capabilities of human resources

Identification of Mathematical Concepts in Paiton Community Rice Farming Activities
School mathematics instruction is often perceived as too abstract and rigid because it is presented separately from the realities of life and the cultural backgrounds of students. This study aims to identify and describe the implementation of geometric concepts, comparisons, number patterns, and social arithmetic at various stages of rice farming activities in the Paiton community, Probolinggo Regency. The method used was a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design through semi-structured interviews with three active farmers in Jabung Candi Village, field observations, and interactive analysis of documentation. The results show that Paiton's agricultural activities are rich in applied mathematical concepts: whole number operations and social arithmetic are used in seed selection and profit-loss calculations; equivalent ratios are applied to fertilizer and pesticide dosages; the geometric structure of spiral curves is formed on tractor plowing tracks; and the Jajar Legowo planting system implements sequences of number patterns. This study concludes that Paiton's rice farming activities validly integrate formal mathematical concepts, thus having strategic implications for their transformation into realistic mathematics learning tools.

Strategies for Enhancing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Competence in Responding to the Demand for Technology-Literate Teachers
The rapid expansion of digital technology in the twenty-first century has repositioned Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competence as a core professional requirement for teachers rather than a supplementary skill. In the Indonesian context, the shift toward the Merdeka Curriculum, blended learning, and digital-based assessment has exposed a persistent gap between policy expectations and the actual technological readiness of educators, particularly in madrasah and Islamic higher education environments where infrastructural and pedagogical constraints remain considerable. This urgency is compounded by findings indicating that a substantial proportion of teachers are still not fully prepared to adapt to digital literacy demands, despite continuous government-led training initiatives. This article aims to examine the strategic dimensions through which ICT competence can be systematically improved among teachers, and to analyze how such strategies respond to the growing expectation that educators become technologically literate professionals. The study employs a qualitative library research (studi pustaka) design, drawing on peer-reviewed journal articles, institutional reports, and policy documents published within the last seven years, analyzed through content and thematic analysis techniques. The findings reveal that effective ICT competence enhancement rests on three interrelated strategies: structured and sustainable professional development programs, the integration of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) into everyday pedagogical practice, and institutional policy support accompanied by adequate digital infrastructure. The study concludes that technology-literate teachers emerge not merely from individual initiative but from a systemic convergence of training, pedagogical reorientation, and institutional facilitation. These findings contribute to the theoretical discourse on teacher digital competence and offer practical implications for Islamic education institutions seeking to accelerate their digital transformation agenda

An Analysis of Da'wah Education Verses in Tafsir Ayat Al-Ahkam (Rawai'ul Bayan) Chapter 10 by Muhammad Ali Ash-Shabuni
Da'wah education is a fundamental aspect of shaping Islamic character and strengthening religious understanding among Muslims, particularly amid social dynamics that demand precise, humane, and contextual methods of conveying Islamic teachings. However, academic studies that specifically examine the educational dimension of da'wah within contemporary works of tafsir ahkam, particularly Rawai'ul Bayan by Muhammad Ali Ash-Shabuni, remain relatively limited, despite the fact that the book is widely recognized as a principal reference for the study of legal verses, systematically combining linguistic, jurisprudential, and comparative (tarjih) approaches. This study aims to analyze the values of da'wah education contained in the verses discussed in Chapter 10 of Rawai'ul Bayan and to identify the relevance of Ash-Shabuni's exegetical method for the development of contemporary da'wah education. This research employs a qualitative approach through library research. Primary data were obtained from the text of Rawai'ul Bayan, while secondary data were drawn from relevant and up-to-date scholarly journals, books, and articles. Data were analyzed using content analysis combined with a thematic (maudhui) exegetical approach. The findings show that the verses in Chapter 10 of Rawai'ul Bayan embody three pillars of da'wah education: al-hikmah (argumentative wisdom), mau'izah hasanah (heartfelt good counsel), and mujadalah bi allati hiya ahsan (constructive dialogue), all of which are oriented toward the gradual and humane formation of religious understanding. This study recommends that Ash-Shabuni's exegetical method be adopted as a reference in developing more adaptive models of da'wah education responsive to the needs of contemporary society.

The Effect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Utilization on Student Self-Confidence in Understanding Mathematical Concepts at AMIK Bukittinggi
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has changed the way students learn mathematics; however, its effect on students’ self-confidence in understanding mathematical concepts has not been widely examined quantitatively, particularly in vocational higher education. This study aims to analyze the effect of AI utilization on the self-confidence of AMIK Bukittinggi students in understanding mathematical concepts in the Computer Mathematics course. The study used a quantitative ex post facto approach with a survey method involving 76 students (total sampling), analyzed using simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS. The analysis results show that the instrument is valid (r-calculated > r-table 0.226) and reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.936 for the AI variable and 0.950 for the self-confidence variable), the data are normally distributed (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, p>0.05), and there is a significant positive effect of AI utilization on students’ self-confidence (t-calculated 4.785 > t-table 1.993; p<0.001) with a contribution of 23.6% (R²=0.236). These findings support Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, which explains that successful experiences gained through AI assistance can strengthen students’ self-confidence in understanding mathematical concepts. The results of this study have implications for lecturers and vocational education institutions in designing AI integration strategies that proportionally support the strengthening of students’ self-confidence.

Pengaruh Digital Citizenship terhadap Karakter Murid di Era Artificial Intelligence
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed educational practices while creating new challenges for students' character development. In this context, digital citizenship has become an essential competency that enables students to use digital technology ethically, responsibly, and critically. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital citizenship on students' character in the AI era and to develop a conceptual synthesis of the relationship between AI, digital citizenship, and character education. A qualitative approach was employed using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the Kitchenham framework. Ten scientific articles published between 2021 and 2026 were selected through predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that digital citizenship is the primary factor supporting students' character development through digital literacy, digital ethics, responsibility, and critical thinking. These competencies contribute to the development of honesty, integrity, empathy, social responsibility, and respect for others. Although AI enhances learning effectiveness, creativity, adaptive learning, and assessment, its misuse may lead to plagiarism, misinformation, technology dependence, and reduced academic integrity. This study concludes that AI does not directly shape students' character; instead, its influence is mediated by digital citizenship. Therefore, integrating digital citizenship into curriculum and learning practices is essential for fostering ethical, responsible, and digitally competent students.

Mangalap Goar dan Baptisan di HKBP Tobasari: Kajian atas Ambivalensi Makna Antara Budaya Adat dan Ajaran Sakramental Kristen
The Batak Toba community in the Sidamanik region still holds a widespread misconception by equating the mangalap goar tradition (customary name-giving ritual) with the sacrament of Baptism in Christianity. This article aims to critically describe the meaning of mangalap goar within Batak culture and compare it with the doctrine of Baptism according to Christian teachings, intending to prevent syncretism among the HKBP congregation. This research employs a qualitative method using a literature study approach combined with in-depth interviews conducted with six informants, comprising traditional leaders, church council members, and lay congregations at HKBP Tobasari Resort Sidamanik. The findings reveal that mangalap goar is essentially a pre-Christian cultural ritual heavily laden with elements of invoking ancestral spirits through the mediation of the datu (shaman), and its primary purpose is to formally validate a person's social identity within the communal framework. Conversely, Baptism is a sacrament of God's grace grounded in the redemptive work of Christ, theologically interpreted as a mystical union with the death and resurrection of Jesus (Romans 6), and functions as the definitive entry into the fellowship of believers. These two constructs share no essential equivalence, either ontologically or soteriologically. Consequently, the church is summoned to deliver comprehensive catechesis to parents and the wider congregation, ensuring that the sacred understanding of Baptism is no longer conflated with local customs, while simultaneously preserving cultural values that do not fundamentally contradict the Gospel. This study underscores the urgent need for contextual theological education to address this ambiguity.

A qualitative case study design was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis involving the principal, curriculum coordinator, teachers, and students. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, thematic interpretation, and conclusion verification, supported by source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that KBC functions beyond an administrative curriculum component by encouraging empathy, respect, care, dialogue, tolerance, and humane authority in educational interactions. However, implementation remains uneven because teachers differ in conceptual understanding, pedagogical readiness, and capacity to translate love values into consistent classroom practices. The study concludes that KBC becomes transformative when institutionalized as a pedagogical ethic and madrasah culture. Its contribution lies in extending KBC discourse from curriculum integration toward relational and cultural transformation in Islamic education and sustainable character development among adolescent learners.
