The Influence of Principals’ Interpersonal Communication on Teacher Performance in Integrated Islamic Elementary Schools
Full text linkEffective leadership in Islamic elementary schools is a crucial issue, as principals’ interpersonal communication plays a central role in shaping teacher professionalism, motivation, and instructional performance. This study examines the influence of principals’ interpersonal communication on teacher performance in Integrated Islamic elementary schools (IIES) in Indonesia. The research employed a quantitative approach using an ex-post facto survey design, with data analyzed through correlation and regression techniques. Questionnaires were administered to 78 teachers selected through random sampling, and the data were processed using SPSS version 25. The results demonstrate that principals’ interpersonal communication has a significant, positive, and very strong effect on teacher performance, accounting for 79.3% of the variance, while the remaining 20.7% is influenced by other factors not explored in this study. The regression analysis produced the equation Y = 16.111 + 1.845X, indicating that improvements in interpersonal communication are associated with substantial increases in teacher performance. The findings also suggest that clear, supportive, and collaborative communication practices foster a more productive and professional teaching environment. These results imply that strengthening principals’ interpersonal communication competencies is a strategic priority for improving teacher performance and enhancing the quality of Islamic education in elementary schools
Integrating Islamic Marketing Education to Building Consumer Literacy and Entrepreneurial Mindset in Pesantren
Full text linkGlobally, Islamic educational institutions face increasing pressure to respond to digital economic transformations while maintaining Islamic ethical and pedagogical foundations. This study aims to examine the role of Islamic Marketing Education (IME), integrated with the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), in enhancing consumer literacy and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset among santri in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 350 santri and analyzed through Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS version 4. The results demonstrate that IME has a positive and significant effect on consumer literacy, entrepreneurial mindset, and core UTAUT constructs, including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions. In addition, entrepreneurial mindset and UTAUT variables significantly predict santri’ intention to use e-commerce, while consumer literacy acts as a moderating factor that supports reflective, value-based decision-making and mitigates uncritical technology adoption. The study concludes that integrating Islamic pedagogical approaches with technology acceptance frameworks effectively strengthens digital readiness without compromising Islamic moral principles. These findings imply that Islamic education, particularly within pesantren contexts, should systematically incorporate ethically grounded digital entrepreneurship and consumer literacy to prepare students for responsible participation in the contemporary digital economy
Reframing Madrasas in Afghanistan: A Historical Analysis of Islamic Education and Societal Change
Full text linkIn global academic and policy discourse, madrasas in Afghanistan are often represented through securitized and reductionist frameworks that conflate Islamic education with extremism, obscuring their historical depth and educational diversity. This article seeks to reframe such narratives by examining the historical development of Afghan madrasas from the pre-modern period to the post-2001 era, situating them within broader trajectories of Islamic education and societal change. Employing a qualitative historical approach through a systematic review of scholarly literature, historical sources, and policy reports, the study analyzes madrasa institutions using an integrated framework that combines the sociology of knowledge, historical institutionalism, and Islamic educational concepts of tarbiyah, taʿlīm, and turāth. The findings show that Afghanistan historically functioned as a significant center of Islamic learning, particularly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, sustained by locally embedded institutions and transnational scholarly networks. While critical junctures, most notably the Soviet invasion of 1979 and subsequent conflicts, reconfigured madrasa functions and politicized religious education, these transformations were contingent on structural disruption, state fragility, and conflict rather than inherent features of madrasa pedagogy. The study concludes that Afghan madrasas are adaptive, context-responsive educational institutions whose continuity and change can only be understood through historically grounded analysis. The findings have broader implications for Islamic education globally, highlighting the importance of historicizing madrasa traditions, resisting securitized interpretations, and recognizing Islamic educational institutions as enduring contributors to moral formation, social resilience, and educational reform in conflict-affected and post-conflict societies
Empathic Professional Competence Through A Deontological and Islamic Values-Based Pedagogical Model
Full text linkThe growing complexity of social interaction, digitalized learning environments, and ethical challenges in contemporary education has intensified the need for teachers who demonstrate not only pedagogical competence but also strong empathic and moral responsibility. This demand is particularly salient in Islamic educational institutions, where teachers are expected to embody ethical conduct, compassion (rahmah), and professional accountability grounded in Islamic values. This study aims to design and qualitatively examine a deontologically grounded pedagogical model for developing empathic professional competence among prospective teachers in Islamic higher education. Adopting a qualitative research design, the study integrates pedagogical modeling with classroom observations and semi-structured reflective interviews involving pre-service teachers and teacher educators in Islamic higher education institutions. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to explore how empathic professional competence was internalized, enacted, and reflected upon within authentic teaching contexts. The findings reveal three interrelated themes: internalization of moral duty as a professional obligation, growth of empathic sensitivity toward students’ cognitive and emotional needs, and enhanced ethical reflection in pedagogical decision-making. These findings indicate that the deontological and Islamic values-based pedagogical model supports the holistic formation of empathic professional competence by fostering ethical awareness, reflective judgment, and morally grounded teaching practices. In conclusion, the study offers a theoretically grounded qualitative framework for strengthening teacher preparation in Islamic education, with practical implications for cultivating ethically responsible, empathetic, and reflective educators in madrasah, pesantren, and Islamic higher education institutions
Habituation of Qur’anic Tadarus as a Spiritual Approach to Student Discipline in Islamic Education
Full text linkStudent discipline remains a critical issue in Islamic educational institutions, particularly as schools seek character-building strategies that move beyond external control toward internalized moral awareness. This study examines the role of Habituation of Qur’anic Tadarus (HQT) as a spiritual approach to fostering student discipline as an alternative to conventional disciplinary methods. Employing a qualitative field research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, including the school principal, the coordinator of religious programs, and student representatives, supported by relevant documents and observations. The findings reveal that student discipline is cultivated through a structured habituation process that begins with the school bell and continues with collective Qur’anic tadarus without the use of reward-based incentives. Disciplinary outcomes are reflected in students’ punctual attendance, sustained attention during learning activities, and timely submission of assignments. The HQT program utilizes Juz 30 across all grade levels and is implemented through talaqqi-based teacher guidance, emphasizing consistency and spiritual engagement. These results indicate that spiritual habituation contributes to students’ intrinsic motivation and personal satisfaction, leading to more sustainable disciplinary behavior. This study suggests that integrating Qur’anic-based spiritual practices can strengthen character education and the development of discipline in Islamic educational contexts
Religious Culture Learning and Islamic Character Formation in Integrated Islamic Schools
Full text linkIn a global educational context marked by rapid social change, digital transformation, and increasing concerns over moral and character formation, schools are challenged to balance academic excellence with the cultivation of ethical and religious values. This study examines how religious culture learning is planned, implemented, and evaluated in an Islamic junior secondary school, and assesses its contribution to shaping students’ religious character. Employing a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with school leaders, teachers, students, and parents. The data were analyzed thematically to capture participants’ lived experiences and institutional practices related to religious culture learning. The findings indicate that the school has systematically integrated religious culture into instructional planning, classroom practices, and evaluation processes. Active learning strategies, the use of diverse learning media, and consistent habituation practices were found to effectively support the development of students’ religious character. Nevertheless, the study also identifies challenges arising from contemporary social dynamics and external influences that may affect character formation. The study concludes that religious culture learning, when supported by collaborative engagement with parents and the community, can function as a meaningful pedagogical strategy for character education. These findings imply that Islamic educational institutions need adaptive, context-sensitive models of religious culture learning to ensure continued relevance and effectiveness in fostering holistic student development
Integrating Nationalist Character and Social Care Education in Islamic Elementary Schools
Full text linkCharacter education is a central concern in Islamic elementary schools as they are expected to cultivate students’ religious values alongside nationalist attitudes and social responsibility in an increasingly complex social context. This study aims to examine the implementation of nationalist character education and social care education, including the strategies employed, challenges encountered, and outcomes achieved in an Islamic Elementary School. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study design and collected data through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that nationalist character education has been systematically integrated into school culture through routine activities such as flag ceremonies, morning assemblies, and the practice of national songs, thereby effectively fostering students’ sense of national identity. In contrast, social care education is implemented mainly through community-based programs, including charitable activities such as distributing rice packages to underprivileged communities. However, the study also reveals persistent challenges in strengthening students’ social sensitivity, particularly regarding environmental cleanliness and empathy toward others. These results highlight an imbalance between the development of nationalist values and social care behaviors. This research implies that Islamic educational institutions need more holistic and consistent strategies to integrate nationalist character education and social care within Islamic education curricula to enhance students’ moral, civic, and social responsibility
