Penguatan Kecakapan Komunikasi Publik Santri Melalui Program Khitobah
Full text linkThe skill of public speaking is crucial for everyone in this era of informational globalization. Therefore, Islamic boarding schools, as cultivators of Muslim generations, must be capable of developing and discovering a public communication skills development system. This research aims to analyze the implementation of khitobah in developing students' public communication skills, which also has implications for improving students' social and religious behavior. The object of this qualitative research is the Al-Qonitat Miftahun Najah Tahunan Jepara Islamic Boarding School. Informants consisted of managers, teachers, and students who were selected purposively. Data was collected using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses descriptive analysis techniques. The research results show that the implementation of the khitobah has fulfilled the elements of management. The khitobah program not only strengthens students' public communication skills but also improves social and religious behavior, such as empathy, social involvement, and strengthening interpersonal relationships. This research has implications for the importance of Islamic boarding schools including subjects or activities that support the development of public communication skills in their curriculum. Apart from that, it is also necessary to educate the public to change perceptions about the role and function of Islamic boarding schools in providing comprehensive education to students, including non-religious aspects such as developing communication skills
Enhancing Students’ Spiritual Awareness through Understanding Human Physiology in Biomedical Science Course
Full text linkThe increasing amount of information among the younger generation is not directly correlated with the enhancement of their spiritual awareness. This is due to the fact that science education emphasizes cognition rather than emotion and fails to include Islamic principles into its curriculum. This study seeks to examine the enhancement of students’ spiritual consciousness following their comprehension of human physiology in the Basic Biomedical Sciences course. This qualitative study purposively chose informants from among instructors and students. Data were gathered by observation, interviews, and documentation methods. The gathered data were examined by descriptive analysis methods, and their validity was assessed utilizing triangulation procedures. The study's findings demonstrate that Islam (Qur’anic verses) pertains to the concept of human physiology. Comprehending the subject of human physiology in conjunction with Islamic studies helps enhance students’ spiritual consciousness. This study underscores the significance of assembling a curriculum development committee comprising specialists in education, Islamic studies, and human physiology to create an integrated curriculum. Instructors must also be capable of utilizing the subject of human physiology to demonstrate the Greatness and Omnipotence of Allah swt
Ethical-Spiritual Dimensions of 21st-Century Education: Taming Artificial Intelligence with Human Intelligence
Full text linkIntellectual intelligence and multiple intelligences have produced very sophisticated artificial intelligence. The progress of the artificial intelligence sector has implications for an educational paradigm that prioritizes cognition so that the ethical-spiritual dimension of education is increasingly eroded. This study aims to analyze the importance of developing heart education (human intelligence) in 21st-century education. The discussions in this literature study are focused on human intelligence, artificial intelligence, and the ethical-spiritual dimension of 21st-century education. Documented data from books, journals, and articles was then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results show that artificial intelligence is developed in a value-free and uncontrolled manner. The impact is an increase in the number of unemployed (job automation), privacy violations, and even weapons automation. This must be controlled from an early age, both through collective awareness of ethical-spiritual values and through the development of humane, dignified, and spiritual artificial intelligence creativity. This research has implications for the importance of developing the ethical-spiritual dimension of 21st-century education, which not only fills the void in values in education but also helps educators, students, and other concerned parties find and know God
Application of Audio-Visual Learning Media in Increasing Islamic Boarding School Students’ Tajweed Learning Outcomes
Full text linkGenerally, learning Tajweed in Islamic boarding schools still uses the rote method so the Tajweed material seems difficult and boring. This research aims to (1) describe the application of audio-visual learning media in Tajweed learning, (2) describe the increase in students' Tajweed learning outcomes, and (3) test the effect of applying audio-visual learning media on improving students' Tajweed learning outcomes. This study used experimental research with a quasi-experimental design. The object of this research consists of two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class. The research object was chosen purposively from two classes at the Salafiyah Marhalah Ulya, Tahfidzul Qur'an As'adiyah Wonomulyo Islamic Boarding School. The experimental class was given treatment using audio-visual media, while the control class continued to use the textbook-based lecturing method. Data was collected using observation, tests, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses a gain test. The research results show that the application of audio-visual media has an effect on increasing students' Tajweed learning outcomes. This research has implications for the importance of innovative and creative efforts by Islamic education teachers in creating audiovisual media for learning the Quran to welcome 21st-century education
The Meaning of the Term Fitrah in the Quran: A Concept of Islamic Education
Full text linkThe concept of Islamic education began to be oriented towards Western theory, and the study of the Quran as a source of Islamic education began to diminish. This research examines (1) the meaning of the term fitrah in the Quran and (2) its implications for the concept of Islamic education. This literature review study uses tafsir maudui (thematic interpretation) and pedagogical approaches in analyzing the data. The data sources consist of Quran, commentary books, and several relevant books and journals. The results of the research show that fitrah in the Quran is the default factory setting for humans. Fitrah is a divine chip implanted by God in humans so that they are ready to believe in monotheism, purify themselves, and worship God. Humans who carry out their fitrah have three characteristics: accepting and practicing Islam, being sincere, and having a strong faith. Actualization of the concept of human fitrah in Islamic education can be carried out by (1) making fitrah a basic human potential that needs to be developed, (2) making education the main path in developing fitrah, (3) creating a conducive educational environment (helping the development of fitrah), and (4) cultivating a work ethic in which there is harmony and balance between the depth of religious appreciation and activities that lead to increased welfare
Tantangan Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Menghadapi Siswa Generasi Z di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan
Full text linkIslamic Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in shaping students’ character and morals, especially amid technological advancement and globalization. However, PAI teachers face complex challenges in teaching Generation Z students who are digital natives, critical thinkers, independent learners, and prefer interactive learning. This study aims to analyze the challenges faced by PAI teachers and the innovative strategies applied in addressing Generation Z students at NU Sunan Ampel Vocational School, Poncokusumo. This qualitative research employed observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques and descriptive analysis as a data analysis technique. The findings reveal key challenges, including students’ low interest in conventional methods, exposure to radical and liberal religious content, limited technology integration, and students’ critical attitudes toward religious discourse. To address these challenges, teachers implemented innovative strategies such as interactive digital media, project-based learning, and integration of Islamic values in counseling. These strategies significantly improved students’ participation, comprehension, and application of religious values in daily life. The study recommends enhancing teachers’ digital competencies and school policy support to realize a more adaptive and relevant PAI learning model for Generation Z
Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter Melalui Video-Assisted Learning: Studi pada Program Kampus Mengajar di Sekolah Dasar
Full text linkTechnology-based learning media have been proven to increase students' interest and motivation to learn. However, the creation of the media only targets the cognitive domain without considering the character of the students. This study aims to determine the implementation of strengthening character education through video-assisted learning in elementary school students during the Campus-Teaching program. This type of research is qualitative with a case study approach. The object of this research is grade V students of SD Inpres Pabaeng-baeng, Makassar City. Informants consist of principals, teachers, and students. Data collection uses interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses descriptive qualitative analysis techniques. Data validity testing uses triangulation techniques. The results of the study found that the implementation of strengthening student character education through video-assisted learning with indicators of religious, discipline, and responsibility is not optimal. This study has implications for knowledge of the material not being directly proportional to the improvement of student character. Therefore, the role of teachers as good role models, advisors, and counselors for students is very important

Full text linkThe phenomenon of reading difficulties in upper elementary school students needs a solution. Moreover, the upper elementary school curriculum contains theories and concepts that require students' good reading skills. This study aims to analyze the types, causes, and impacts of reading difficulties in fourth-grade elementary school students. This qualitative study uses a phenomenological approach. Primary data consists of teachers and five fourth-grade students who have reading difficulties. Secondary data are journals and books as a theoretical basis. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques. The results of the study showed (1) the types of students' reading difficulties are not recognizing letters, not being able to identify words, not being fluent in reading aloud, not understanding the meaning of the text, and not being able to listen to reading, (2) The factors causing students' reading difficulties are family factors, lack of interest and motivation to read, and students' intelligence levels. (3) The reading difficulties experienced by students have a significant impact on students' academic, psychological, and social interactions. This study has implications for the importance of teachers understanding the characteristics of students in "reading" learning. This understanding greatly determines the direction of learning related to methods, strategies, techniques, tactics, and teaching styles
Nilai-nilai Pendidikan Islam dalam Puisi Qum li al-Mu‘allimi Waffihi al-Tabjīlā Karya Ahmed Shawky: Kajian Semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce
Full text linkLiterary works are often considered mere entertainment. In fact, these works can be used as educational messages, especially related to the phenomenon of transformation—tending towards decadence―of students' morals and characters amidst changing times. Educational values have shifted. Inappropriate attitudes towards teachers in the past have become commonplace today for various academic and theoretical reasons. These values are reflected in the poem Qum li al-Mu‘allimi Waffihi al-Tabjīlā by Ahmed Shawky. This poem emphasizes the importance of respect for teachers as symbols of wisdom and sources of knowledge. This research aims to reveal the meaning of Islamic education values in the poem through Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic approach. The main focus of the research is the idea of Islamic education, and the poem is the material object. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a semiotic analysis of the three main elements in Peirce’s theory: icons, indexes, and symbols. This analysis is used to interpret the representation of the values of faith, worship, and morals in the poem. The results show that the values of Islamic education in this poem are knowledge is an important part of faith; respecting teachers is part of worship, even the law is obligatory as obligatory as worshiping Allah; and learning must be based on good ethics. This study implies that respect for teachers is more important than knowledge itself. Because noble morals are a sign of the blessing of knowledge and student success
