Evaluating the Influence of Online Learning on the Professionalism of In-Service Teacher Education at Islamic Higher Education Institutions
Full text linkThe growing importance of online learning in teacher education highlights the need to assess its impact on teacher professionalism. This study examines the effects of online learning within the in-service Teacher Professional Education (TPE) program at a State Islamic Higher Education institution in Indonesia. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research investigates online learning practices, curriculum adaptation, instructor preparation, and professionalism development.

Exploring Memorization Patterns in the Tahfidz and Tarjamah Qur\u27an Programs
Full text linkThe memorization and understanding of the Qur\u27an play a vital role in shaping a Qur\u27anic generation. This study aims to explore the memorization patterns in the Tahfidz and Tarjamah Qur\u27an programs at Darul Hufadz Islamic Senior High School. Using a qualitative research approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation from 38 informants, including the principal, five mentor teachers, and 32 students. Data analysis followed a process of reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings indicate that the Tahfidzul Qur\u27an program follows a daily memorization pattern known as "One Day One Verse," where students memorize one verse and its translation each day. The program emphasizes regular recitation, memorization, comprehension, and the practical application of the Qur\u27an\u27s teachings, with parental oversight. Collaborative reading sessions between teachers and students, coupled with repetition—where verses are repeated over 40 times and listened to more than 60 times—reinforce the memorization process. This structured approach effectively cultivates a Qur\u27anic generation, ensuring deep engagement with the Qur\u27an. The study highlights the importance of consistent memorization routines and active teacher involvement in fostering both cognitive and spiritual development among students

Islamic Educational Approaches to Stunting Prevention and Child Protection
Full text linkStunting, characterized by impaired growth and development in children under five years old, represents a significant global nutritional issue, particularly in Indonesia. This study aims to explore stunting prevention and child protection from the perspective of Islamic education.
