Representasi Islam di Media Sosial dan Implikasinya terhadap Pendidikan Agama Islam

Maulid Agustin — 2025-12-26

The development of social media has transformed the way Islamic teachings are disseminated and represented, presenting both opportunities and challenges for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching. Diverse representations of Islam in the digital space have the potential to strengthen moderate understanding, but also give rise to radical content that can lead to misconceptions among students. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of Islamic representation in social media and its implications for developing an PAI curriculum responsive to the digital era. The research was conducted using qualitative methods through a literature review and content analysis of various literature, social media content, and relevant documents. The results indicate that social media has a significant influence in shaping students' religious perceptions and opening up opportunities for creative da'wah (Islamic outreach), but it has also become a medium for the spread of intolerance and radicalism. Therefore, strengthening digital literacy, critical thinking skills, and the value of religious moderation is essential through an updated PAI curriculum. The integration of social media literacy materials into PAI can equip students to be more selective, tolerant, and adaptive in dealing with the flow of religious information in the digital era. This study emphasizes the strategic role of religious education in shaping a generation of Muslims who are both religious and and digitally literate.

Analisis Dokumen Supervisi Akademik Islami terhadap Peningkatan Kinerja Guru di SMP Al-Hikmah Way Kanan

Ardi Antoro — 2025-12-26

Teacher performance remains a critical issue in Islamic-based schools, particularly in ensuring instructional quality alongside the internalization of religious values. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of Islamic-oriented academic supervision documents and explain their relationship to improving teacher performance at SMP Al-Hikmah Way Kanan, Lampung. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through document analysis of supervision programs and instruments, limited observations of supervision implementation, and in-depth interviews with one principal and 4 supervised teachers. The findings indicate that Islamic academic supervision documents at SMP Al-Hikmah are systematically structured and integrated with Islamic values, encompassing supervision planning, classroom observation instruments, teacher performance evaluation formats, and follow-up action plans. The implementation of Islamic academic supervision is carried out through a humanistic participatory coaching pattern, in which the principal acts as both a moral-spiritual mentor and a technical supervisor. The study reveals that Islamic academic supervision positively influences teacher performance, as reflected in improved lesson planning, increased variation in teaching methods, strengthened professional attitudes, and the development of teachers’ awareness of teaching as a religious responsibility. Thus, Islamic academic supervision can be positioned as a strategic managerial instrument for improving teacher performance and learning quality in Islamic schools.

Hak-Hak Peserta Didik Perspektif Hasan Langgulung: Kajian Kritis dalam Konteks Pendidikan Islam

Isnaeni Isnaeni — 2025-12-26

This article examines the concept of student rights in Islamic education from the perspective of Hasan Langgulung's thinking. Using a qualitative descriptive analysis method through literature study, the study in this article aims to analyze Hasan Langgulung's contribution in formulating fundamental rights for students that integrate the principles of educational psychology with Islamic values. The results of the study formulate the fundamental rights of students according to Hasan Langgulung: (1) the right to obtain holistic education, (2) the right to be treated according to individual characteristics, (3) the right to obtain a conducive educational environment, (4) the right to obtain an integrated curriculum, and (5) the right to participate in the learning process. These concepts are relevant to the development of contemporary Islamic education, despite facing implementation challenges including the dichotomy of education, the quality of educators, limited infrastructure, and evaluation systems. This study contributes to the development of a humanistic and holistic Islamic education theory that respects student rights comprehensively.

Efektifitas Metode Ilman Wa Ruuhan Pada Pembelajaran Aqidah Akhlak di SDIT Bintangku Probolinggo

Mardiana Mardiana — 2025-12-26

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Ilman wa Ruuhan method in Aqidah and Akhlak learning at SDIT Bintangku Probolinggo. The method is an integrated approach that combines cognitive (ilman) and spiritual (ruuhan) aspects to holistically shape students’ Islamic character. The focus of this research goes beyond technical skills in reading and memorizing the Qur’an, emphasizing the internalization of faith, moral values, and daily Islamic manners. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the Ilman wa Ruuhan method is implemented gradually through socialization, teacher training, classroom practice, and regular evaluations based on students’ behavioral changes. Although various methods for teaching Aqidah and Akhlak have been implemented in elementary schools, many of them have not been able to consistently instill Islamic values and develop noble character in students. In addition, studies on the effectiveness of the Ilman wa Ruuhan method at the SDIT level are still limited and have not been extensively explored, thereby creating a gap that needs to be addressed. Based on this gap, the present study emphasizes that the Ilman wa Ruuhan method has been proven to improve students’ understanding of Islamic values, discipline, and behaviors that reflect noble character. Support from teachers, students, and parents serves as an important factor contributing to its successful implementation. Thus, the Ilman wa Ruuhan method is effective for teaching Aqidah and Akhlak and has the potential to become a model for Islamic character education at the elementary school level.

Penerapan Teori Humanistik Dalam Mengoptimalkan Gaya Belajar Siswa Di Kelas 8B MTSN 1 Sinjai

Suriyati Suriyati — 2025-12-26

This study aims to describe the application of humanistic theory in optimizing student learning styles at MTsN 1 Sinjai. The method used in this study is descriptive, with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews and documentation of teachers and students. The results of this study indicate that the application of a humanistic theory approach can optimize learning motivation, self-confidence, active participation, and the effectiveness of diverse student learning styles, such as visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Teachers act as facilitators who understand students' emotional needs and learning styles. Problem-based learning strategies and hands-on practices such as public speaking have been proven to create a comfortable and supportive learning atmosphere. However, challenges such as gadget misuse are obstacles that need to be managed through collaboration between teachers and parents. A supportive learning environment, freedom of self-expression, and recognition of diverse learning styles are key factors in the successful implementation of this approach. Therefore, the application of humanistic theory is recommended as an alternative approach in creating humanistic, adaptive, and meaningful learning in the school environment.

Penguatan Integritas Akademik Mahasiswa melalui Literasi Digital dan Etika

Alhamuddin Alhamuddin — 2025-12-26

The message of digitalization in various sectors, including education, makes the learning process feel easy. The ease of access to learning today does not lead to actions that violate academic ethics. These violations are committed massively and generally rely on artificial intelligence. This is a highly ironic phenomenon amidst the rapid development of technology, which should be applied to positive activities, but instead has the opposite effect. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the strengthening of academic integrity through digital literacy and ethics. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis methods, it was conducted at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Bandung Islamic University. The research sources were 35 students of the Islamic Religious Education Study Program. Data collection techniques used were interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used were reduction, interpretation, summarization, and conclusions. The results revealed that upholding the academic integrity of Unisba PAI students emphasizes the wise use of AI, accompanied by digital literacy and ethics that maintain reasoning power, honesty, and academic etiquette based on Islamic values. A commitment to transparency in AI use, source verification, and media ethics are the foundation for creating an academic ecosystem with integrity and benefits.

Anggun Putri Melati — 2025-12-26

This study analyzes the implementation of character education based on religious values at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Sunan Pandanaran (MISPA) Yogyakarta, where character formation is cultivated as a living school culture. Grounded in pesantren tradition, MISPA integrates religious practices such as DDAH (prayer, dhuha, and Asmaul Husna), daily Qur’an memorization, congregational prayers, and thematic initiatives including the Anti-Bullying Declaration as structured habituation strategies that shape students’ everyday behavior. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that character education at MISPA is collaboratively planned, consistently implemented by teachers as role models, and continuously evaluated through behavioral observation and reflective practices. Character education emphasizes not only moral knowledge but also habitual action and the cultivation of religious awareness, aligning with the theoretical perspectives of Lickona, Bronfenbrenner, and Al-Ghazali. Despite challenges such as teachers’ workload, diverse levels of students’ awareness, and the influence of digital media, MISPA has successfully developed an educational ecosystem that fosters religiosity, discipline, and integrity

Prinsip Al-'Adl dan Musyawarah Dalam Supervisi Akademik: Analisis di Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor

Riswandha Ipnu Nawawi — 2025-12-26

Effective academic supervision focuses not only on the technical-pedagogical aspects, but also on the values and ethics of the process. This study aims to analyze the practice of academic supervision at the Darussalam Gontor Modern Islamic Boarding School through the lens of two fundamental Islamic principles: Al-'Adl and Musyawarah. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with supervisors and supervised teachers, and documentation studies. The research findings indicate that the Al-'Adl principle is manifested in the form of: (1) objectivity in assessment based on clear and transparent criteria; (2) equal treatment regardless of teacher background; and (3) providing proportional and balanced feedback between strengths and areas of improvement. Meanwhile, the Musyawarah principle is implemented through: (1) a dialogic supervision process, where teachers are given space to express their opinions and difficulties; (2) collective discussion of teaching improvement solutions; and (3) final decision-making that takes into account input from the teachers concerned. This study concludes that the integration of Al-'Adl and Musyawarah values in academic supervision creates an environment that emphasizes not only control, but also development (tarbiyah), empowerment, and trust.

Relevansi Konsep Pendidikan Anak Menurut Abdullah Nashih Ulwan terhadap Pendidikan Karakter Islam Modern

Khairul Abdillah Harahap — 2025-12-26

The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of Abdullah Nashih Ulwan’s concept of child education in Tarbiyat al-Aulad fi al-Islam to the development of modern Islamic character education. Ulwan emphasizes the importance of balanced development encompassing faith, morality, intellect, social awareness, and physical growth as the foundation for forming a holistic Islamic personality (syakhshiyyah islamiyyah). Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature analysis, this study explores Ulwan’s five educational methods: exemplary behavior, advice and guidance, habituation, supervision, and educational punishment. The findings indicate that Ulwan’s educational principles remain relevant to contemporary character education models, such as those proposed by Thomas Lickona, which integrate cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. In the digital era, Ulwan’s educational values can be implemented through the ethical use of digital media, strengthening the moral roles of teachers and parents, and designing curricula that integrate spiritual and social dimensions. This study contributes to the academic discourse on Islamic moral education and provides a theoretical foundation for future research on the application of Ulwan’s ideas in technology-based learning environments

R Nurhayati — 2025-12-26

Teachers as the spearhead of the educational process, play a strategic role in creating and maintaining a conducive learning climate. This study aims to describe the strategies of Fiqh teachers in creating a conducive classroom climate at MIN 1 Sinjai and the obstacles faced in its implementation. The study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, and data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation.

The main challenges include the variety of student characters and abilities, plus less obedient students, so patience and a flexible teaching approach are needed to maintain a conducive classroom climate. This strategy has proven crucial in creating a safe, orderly, and optimal classroom atmosphere for successful Fiqh learning. The implications of this research for Islamic jurisprudence teachers are the need for teacher training in inclusive classroom strategies, the development of an interaction-based curriculum for Islamic education, and continuous evaluation to overcome obstacles to student character, in order to create productive and adequate learning.

Tinjauan Implementatif Manajemen Seleksi Kepala Madrasah terhadap PMA No. 24 Tahun 2018

Iis Fauziah — 2025-12-26

This study aims to analyze the concept of Islamic educational institution management in the selection of madrasah principals based on the implementation of Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation (PMA) Number 24 of 2018. This study uses a qualitative approach with an integrative literature review method, analyzing regulatory documents, scientific articles, books, and reports related to Islamic education management, leadership, merit-based selection, and policy implementation. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that, normatively, PMA No. 24 of 2018 reflects a merit-based selection system that emphasizes managerial competence and professionalism. However, its implementation has not been optimal due to several obstacles, including political intervention after regional leadership changes, limited qualified human resources, and the influence of non-procedural communities. These conditions weaken the effectiveness of regulations in ensuring the integrity and quality of madrasah leadership. In conclusion, strengthening supervision, refining integrity-based selection criteria, and ensuring consistent implementation across all regions are essential to improving the effectiveness of madrasah principal selection in accordance with Islamic management principles.

Religious Coping (Rcope) dalam Mengatasi Burnout Akademik Mahasiswa Generasi Z

Nisrina Farida Ramadhanti — 2025-12-26

This study aims to analyze the role of Religious Coping (RCOPE), particularly its positive form, in helping Generation Z university students deal with academic burnout in the post-pandemic era. Academic burnout among students has intensified, marked by emotional exhaustion, cynicism toward learning, and reduced academic achievement, influenced by academic, personal, social, and physical factors. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores students’ in-depth experiences in responding to academic pressures. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with students experiencing burnout and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and patterns. The findings reveal that positive RCOPE such as prayer, worship, Qur’anic recitation, and spiritual meaningmaking serves as the most effective strategy, providing emotional calmness, enhancing self-regulation, and restoring learning motivation. Non-religious coping strategies offer only short-term relief, while negative RCOPE risks worsening psychological conditions. Overall, the study demonstrates that positive RCOPE functions as an adaptive mechanism and a resilience foundation that enables students to respond more constructively to academic stress. These results highlight the importance of integrating spiritual-based guidance into higher education support systems to strengthen students’ well-being and academic persistence.
