Determinants of Learning Achievement in Islamic Education: The Roles of Students’ Perceptions, Attitudes, and Classroom Management
Full text linkGlobally, learning achievement in higher education is increasingly understood as the product of both academic and non-academic factors, especially within faith-based institutions where pedagogical practices intersect with religious values. This study examines how students’ perceptions of assessment systems, istiqomah (consistency) attitudes, and classroom management shape learning achievement in Islamic higher education contexts. The research aims to identify which factors most strongly predict academic performance and how Islamic character formation interacts with instructional processes. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected from 190 students enrolled in the Evaluation of Learning course at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten, Indonesia, and Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Malaysia. Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis was applied to test the structural model. The results show that students’ positive perceptions of fair and transparent assessment practices and effective classroom management significantly enhance learning achievement. However, istiqomah attitudes do not directly influence academic outcomes, indicating that spiritual consistency requires pedagogical mediation to translate into academic engagement. The study concludes that improving learning quality in Islamic higher education depends on integrating equitable assessment and supportive classroom climates. Implications include strengthening instructional management and aligning assessment practices with Islamic educational values to foster more holistic student development
Interpersonal Competence and Professional Growth in Islamic Education Teachers
Full text linkInterpersonal competencies, such as communication, empathy, and collaboration, are fundamental to teacher professionalism in Islamic Religious Education (IRE). However, there is limited understanding of how these skills vary across Indonesia’s diverse contexts This study investigates regional variations in the interpersonal competencies of IRE teachers and their socio-demographic predictors. A quantitative survey was conducted with 12,002 teachers selected through stratified random sampling across multiple provinces. Furthermore, data collection involved a Likert-scale online questionnaire, complemented by offline methods in regions with limited internet connectivity. To examine regional disparities and socio-demographic factors, descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and regression analyses were conducted, and spatial variations were illustrated using GIS mapping. The findings of this study reveal significant disparities, with urban teachers reporting higher levels of interpersonal competence compared to their rural counterparts, as well as notable differences across Indonesia’s major islands. These results underscore the critical role of socio-cultural and infrastructural factors in shaping teacher professionalism. By providing empirical evidence of regional inequalities, this study enriches the discourse on Islamic education and highlights the importance of context-sensitive professional development initiatives that aim to enhance interpersonal competencies and promote greater educational equity in Indonesia
Multicultural Islamic Education Through Learning Experiences of Diverse Students in Pesantren
Full text linkPesantren, the oldest Islamic educational institution in Indonesia, has increasingly become a learning space for students from varied ethnic, cultural, and social backgrounds, creating new opportunities for multicultural Islamic education. This study explores how Islamic multicultural values are understood and implemented at Pesantren Ihyaul Qur’an in Central Bengkulu. Employing a qualitative field research design, data were gathered through observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that Pesantren Ihyaul Qur’an has transformed into a modern Islamic boarding school with a diverse student community drawn from different regions, while upholding equal treatment for all students as long as institutional rules are observed. Multicultural Islamic values are embedded in both formal academic activities and traditional pesantren learning, supported by a combination of theoretical instruction and practical application. These values are strengthened through extracurricular activities, the use of Arabic and English, and programs such as Muhadhoroh (public speaking) and Muhimmah Ta’awuniah (collaborative tasks), which promote collaboration and mutual understanding. The study concludes that the pesantren’s innovative practices, including its art-stage initiatives, effectively nurture tolerance, cooperation, and intergroup harmony. This approach provides a meaningful model for enhancing multicultural Islamic education in pesantren and other Islamic educational institutions
The Role of the Kyai in Shaping Community Preferences: Mediating the Impact of Service Quality and Teacher Commitment
Full text linkIslamic boarding schools in Indonesia are growing rapidly, yet many still struggle to maintain competitiveness and community trust. This study examines the influence of service quality and work commitment on preferences in choosing pesantren, with patronage figures (kyai) as mediating variables. Using a quantitative explanatory causal design, data were collected from 380 respondents, consisting of students and guardians at Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School, East Java. The data were analyzed with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling. The results reveal that service quality significantly affects both patronage figures (β = 0.502, p < 0.001) and preferences (β = 0.243, p < 0.01), whereas work commitment significantly influences patronage figures (β = 0.354, p < 0.001) but has no direct effect on preferences (β = 0.096, p = 0.212). Patronage figures have the strongest impact on preferences (β = 0.539, p < 0.001) and mediate the effects of both service quality (β = 0.475, p < 0.001) and work commitment (β = 0.233, p < 0.001). These findings confirm that technical factors such as service quality and teacher commitment shape community preferences only when reinforced by the authority and legitimacy of kyai leadership. The study advances the SERVQUAL and Social Exchange frameworks in faith-based education and suggests that pesantren should integrate service improvements with stronger leadership visibility to sustain community loyalty and institutional competitiveness. The research implies that to effectively increase community preference for Islamic boarding school institutions (pesantren), institutions must not only focus on tangible improvements in service quality but also strategically emphasize the selection and visibility of a respected patronage figure (kyai) who possesses strong legitimacy in the eyes of the community
Exploring The Influence of The KoPI Lokal Islami Learning Model and Gender on 21st-Century Skills in Islamic Elementary Schools
Full text linkThis study aimed to determine the influence of the KoPI Lokal Islami (KLI) learning model, gender, and their interaction on 21st-century skills. This study used an experimental method through a factorial design. The study involved 174 students from Islamic elementary schools, divided into three treatment groups: 58 students in the KLI model, 58 in the cooperative learning (CL) model, and 58 in the direct instruction (DI) model. Among the participants, 88 were male, and 86 were female. Data were collected through tests, observation sheets, and questionnaires, all of which were validated by experts. Data analysis was conducted using a two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey HSD and LSD tests, after normality and homogeneity tests were performed. The results showed that the KLI model significantly improved 21st-century skills (p=0.000) by creating a more contextual and meaningful learning experience. Significant differences were also found between male and female learners (p=0.039), with females, in general, being more focused on developing 21st-century skills at primary school age. The interaction between model and gender is not significant (p=0.799), indicating that these two factors influence 21st-century skills independently. This research makes an essential contribution to the design of learning models that are more relevant to current demands and can serve as a basis for educational policy recommendations in Islamic primary schools
Critical Thinking Development in Physics Education Through The Implementation of the BW-ExPort Model at Madrasah Aliyah
Full text linkPhysics practicum activities in Madrasah Aliyah (MA) require learning models that not only strengthen students’ cognitive skills but also integrate character values aligned with Islamic education. This study aims to develop and evaluate the BW-ExPort (Based–Writing–Experimental Report) learning model to improve students’ critical thinking skills during physics practicum activities in MA. Using a Research and Development (R&D) design, the study proceeded through three stages: preliminary study, model development, and field testing. The participants consisted of 82 eleventh-grade students from two MA in North Maluku. Data were gathered through expert validation, classroom observation, and critical thinking assessments, and analyzed using the Rasch model with stacking and racking techniques. Stacking analysis via the Wright Map revealed a clear increase in student ability, shifting from pre-test logits (–3 to 0) to post-test logits (0 to +3), with one student reaching +4. Interpretation and explanation items became easier after the intervention, while evaluation and inference items remained comparatively difficult, indicating the need for additional scaffolding. Racking analysis further confirmed increased item ease, suggesting improved mastery. The BW-ExPort model is valid, practical, and effective in strengthening students’ critical thinking during physics practicum activities. By integrating Islamic scientific ethics such as honesty and responsibility, BW-ExPort offers a culturally grounded and impactful model for digital-based science learning that supports both cognitive growth and character development in Islamic educational settings

This study develops a comprehensive framework that integrates the Sustainable Hospitality Education (SHE) Teacher Competency Scale with UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) competencies and the Islamic educational principles of tarbiyah (holistic nurturing), ta’dib (ethical formation), and ta’lim (knowledge cultivation). Employing a mixed-method design, qualitative data were gathered from semi-structured interviews with 20 academic experts, and quantitative data were collected from 304 undergraduate hospitality students. Thematic analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) identified five key competency dimensions: Motivation and Values, Knowledge and Expertise, Pedagogical Competence, Sustainability Integration, and Collaborative Growth. The final 20-item scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity. The results highlight the significance of fostering educators’ ethical commitment, sustainability literacy, and collaborative engagement with industry stakeholders. For Islamic higher education institutions, the study provides a validated and context-sensitive framework for curriculum enhancement, professional development, and policy formulation. By aligning sustainability competencies with Islamic values of stewardship (khilafah) and social cooperation (ta’awun), the framework contributes to producing educators and graduates capable of leading transformative change toward a just and sustainable society
Improving Narrative Writing Skills of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Students Through a Group Inquiry Learning Model Based on Religious Character Values
Full text linkThis research analyzes the effectiveness of the group inquiry learning model based on religious character values in enhancing narrative writing skills, specifically in the form of diaries. The objective is to evaluate how this model integrates Islamic religious education with literacy culture while fostering religious character values in the learning process. Employing a quasi-experimental method with a matching-only pretest-posttest control group design, the study was conducted with 76 eighth-grade students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri in Magelang City, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and tests assessing narrative writing that incorporated religious character values such as siddiq, amanah, tabligh, and fathanah. The results revealed that the experimental group, which used the group inquiry model, showed significant improvements in writing skills (t-count = 3.081, sig. = 0.018). The N-Gain for the experimental group was 22.33, compared to 0.52 for the control group, demonstrating the model’s effectiveness. This research underscores the importance of integrating group inquiry learning with religious character values, as it significantly improves narrative writing skills, enhances student engagement, and instills core Islamic values, thereby contributing to the development of both literacy and character education in Islamic schools
Progressive Islamic Educational Management and Human Resource Sustainability in Islamic Schools
Full text linkSustainable human resource development has become a critical issue in Islamic educational institutions as they respond to changing educational demands while preserving Islamic values. This scrutinizes how progressive Islamic Educational Management (IEM) practices contribute to the sustainability of human resources in two Indonesian Islamic schools. Employing a qualitative-dominant mixed-method design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, structured observations, document analysis, and a brief descriptive survey involving 32 educators and administrative staff. The findings reveal that both institutions implement progressive management strategies that emphasize adaptation, innovation, and continuous professional development grounded in Islamic principles. The Islamic elementary school demonstrates a strong integration of spiritual development and managerial professionalism, while Islamic Junior high school highlights institutional adaptability and active community engagement. Furthermore, the study shows that visionary leadership, human-centered policies, and reflective evaluation mechanisms play a central role in sustaining the quality and commitment of educational personnel. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of IEM as a framework for sustainable leadership and organizational development within Islamic schools. This study implies that Islamic educational institutions can strengthen long-term human resource sustainability by harmonizing Islamic values, progressive management practices, and professional well-being
