Model of Sexual Education Based on Quranic Values within the Framework of Child Friendly Education in the Contemporary Era
Full text linkSexual crimes in schools can cause trauma to children and create discomfort in the educational environment. Therefore, sexual education for children is a preventive measure to protect them from violence and sexual deviance. This study aims to analyze the design of a Quran-based sexual education model implemented in children's educational institutions in Deli Serdang District, the management of a child-friendly educational environment that supports this model, and the challenges faced. This study uses a qualitative method based on phenomenological studies with data collection through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of the study show five models that have been implemented, namely the Developmental-Based Sexual Education Model, the Qur'anic Literacy Sexual Education Model, the Family-Centered Sexual Education Model, the Community-Driven Sexual Education Model, and the Tech-Enhanced Sexual Education Model. Physical environment management involves providing safe spaces to prevent violence, while non-physical management focuses on a sensitivity-based approach. The greatest challenge faced is the difficult-to-control influence of technology. Implications of research on awareness to protect children from violence

Transformation of Islamic Education through the Integration of Sufism For the Enhancement of Spiritual Intelligence
Full text linkIslamic education faces a significant challenge in the Society 5.0 era, where the dominance of cognitive approaches often fails to address the critical need for students' spiritual strengthening. This situation creates an urgent demand for more holistic educational models grounded in Sufi principles. This study aims to map the development of research on the integration of Sufism into Islamic education and its contribution to enhancing spiritual intelligence. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was employed to analyze scholarly literature from 2000 to 2024, following the stages of research question formulation, selection criteria establishment, cross-database searching (international and national), article screening, data extraction, and thematic analysis. The synthesis of findings reveals that Sufi values—such as contemplation (tafakkur), soul purification (tazkiyah), and character building—significantly strengthen curriculum design, learning strategies, and student transformation. This integration has been proven to foster the development of spiritual, cognitive, and emotional intelligence as the foundation for cultivating the complete human (insan kamil). The study's implications underscore the necessity of developing more humanistic, adaptive, and holistic-oriented Islamic education models to navigate the complexities of the digital age
Implementation of Andragogical Principles in Developing Life Skills of Santriwati in Islamic Boarding Schools in the Modern Era
Full text linkThe principles of andragogy have not been widely applied in adult learning within Islamic boarding schools, despite their potential to foster learner autonomy and enhance the relevance of instruction. This study aims to describe the implementation of andragogical principles in developing the life skills of santriwati (female students) at Pondok Pesantren Al-Asror. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study involved three santriwati, one ustazah (female teacher), and one administrator as participants. Data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, with data validity ensured through source and technique triangulation. Data analysis consisted of data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the application of andragogical principles is reflected in the santriwati’s development of self-concept toward independence, the use of learning experiences to enhance relevance, the alignment of training with learners’ readiness, and the orientation of learning toward spiritual independence and practical skills. Challenges include technological limitations and hierarchical cultural norms that restrict autonomy. The study implies the need for innovation in learning systems and the use of technology to make the application of andragogical principles in Islamic boarding schools more effective and adaptive to contemporary developments
Character Education for Islamic Boarding School Students through the Living Qur'an Approach Based on Technology Integration
Full text linkIslamic boarding schools in this era of transformation are required to maintain traditional values while adapting to technological developments. This condition encourages the need for educational innovation that not only emphasizes memorization but also the internalization of moral values based on the Qur'an.

This study analyzes the integration of technology in the application of Living Qur'an as a moral education strategy at the Tahfizil Qur'an Islamic Boarding School of the North Sumatra Islamic Center Foundation. The method used is descriptive qualitative through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that the use of digital media such as memorization applications, online platforms, and social media can increase the effectiveness of moral values internalization, strengthen spirituality, and motivate students to practice Qur'anic teachings. The integration of technology creates adaptive and contextual learning without losing the authenticity of the Islamic boarding school. This study recommends the development of policies and teacher training based on Islamic values to optimize the role of technology in moral education through the Living Qur'an approach
