Preventing Bullying Through Islamic Religious Education in Indonesian Elementary Schools
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study examines how Islamic Religious Education ( ) is implemented to prevent bullying in elementary schools. It focuses on value integration in instruction, Islamic habituation, and the role of teachers as moral mediators. Methodology: A qualitative multi-site case study was conducted in three elementary schools in Tulungagung Regency representing urban, semi-urban, and rural contexts. Data were collected from 3 principals, 6 teachers, and 15 Grade IV–VI students through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña was used for analysis. Main Findings: Three findings emerged. First, the integration of ukhuwah, tawadhu', and rahmah values into instruction built students' anti-violence awareness. Second, Islamic habituation programmes reduced verbal aggression consistently. Third, teachers' competency served as the key determinant of programme success. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces a three-layer implementative model curricular integration, institutional habituation, and teacher mediation that extends the whole-school approach with a spiritual- teacher dimension. It also identifies Islamic-based restorative dialogue as a distinctive mediation technique not previously documented in -based bullying prevention literature.

Ideological Prophetic Leadership in Transnational Islamic Educational Organizations
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine how transnational Islamic ideology shapes leadership construction, governance structures, and authority legitimacy within educational institutions, and to formulate an integrative conceptual model explaining the relationship between ideological foundations and educational leadership practices. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative multiple-case design using in-depth semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, supported by thematic coding procedures. Institutional statutes, policy documents, and scholarly literature were reviewed to strengthen triangulation and analytical validity. Main Findings: The findings show that leadership in transnational Islamic educational institutions is constructed upon theological legitimacy, ideological alignment, structured consultation, and moral-exemplary authority. Governance mechanisms integrate doctrinal commitment with formal administrative systems, forming hybrid models that balance transnational ideological orientation with national educational regulations. Leadership functions as a strategic instrument for ideological reproduction and institutional identity consolidation. Novelty/Originality of this study: The findings show that leadership in transnational Islamic educational institutions is constructed upon theological legitimacy, ideological alignment, structured consultation, and moral-exemplary authority. Governance mechanisms integrate doctrinal commitment with formal administrative systems, forming hybrid models that balance transnational ideological orientation with national educational regulations. Leadership functions as a strategic instrument for ideological reproduction and institutional identity consolidation.

Digital Media Intensity and Adolescent Religiosity: Integrating Social Media as Educational Da’wah in Islamic Secondary Education
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the influence of digital media intensity on adolescent religiosity and to analyze how social media can be integrated as an educational da’wah instrument within Islamic secondary education to strengthen students’ multidimensional religiosity. Methodology: This study employed a mixed-method sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire measuring religiosity and digital media intensity, distributed to 175 students. Data were analyzed using SPSS through descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. Qualitative data were obtained through interviews. Main Findings: The results indicate that students’ overall religiosity is categorized as moderate high, while digital media intensity is high. Pearson correlation analysis shows a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.436, p < 0.05). Regression analysis reveals that digital media intensity significantly predicts religiosity, explaining 19% of its variance, while 81% is influenced by other factors. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study reframes digital media from a perceived moral risk into a strategic educational da’wah instrument within Islamic schools. By integrating multidimensional religiosity theory, digital engagement intensity, and school-based pedagogical intervention through a mixed-method design, it provides a new integrative framework for understanding adolescent religiosity in the digital era.

Investigating Students’ Perspectives on the Role of Arabic as AaFoundation for Understanding Islamic Religious Education in the Digital Era
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to explore students’ perspectives on the importance of Arabic as a foundation for understanding Islamic Religious Education in the digital era, focusing on how Arabic supports students’ comprehension of Islamic texts, learning experiences, and engagement with Islamic Religious Education content. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through written open-ended interviews administered via Google Forms to 17 students from three study programs at an Islamic higher education institution. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s framework. Main Findings: The findings indicate that students perceive Arabic as a fundamental foundation for understanding Islamic Religious Education, particularly in comprehending Qur’anic verses, religious terminology, and course materials. Arabic is viewed as a functional tool rather than the ultimate learning goal. Digital technology is utilized to support Arabic learning, especially for vocabulary and terminology, although it does not replace lecturers’ guidance. Students also face linguistic challenges, such as difficulties in nahwu (syntax), sarf (morphology), and limited vocabulary, as well as non-linguistic challenges related to motivation and the learning environment. Novelty/Originality of this study: While previous studies have predominantly examined the urgency of Arabic mastery, its curricular effectiveness, or the technical integration of digital media in Arabic and Islamic Religious Education learning, limited attention has been given to how students themselves interpret and negotiate Arabic as an epistemic foundation within digitally mediated learning environments. This study advances the literature by synthesizing students’ perspectives across four interrelated dimensions epistemic positioning, interpretive mediation, digitally mediated engagement, and multidimensional challenges thereby offering a more com…

Repositioning Aswaja Sufism: A Normative-Critical Analysis of adicalism, Materialism, and Secularism in Modern Society
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to critically reconstruct Aswaja Sufism as a normative-ethical response to three contemporary challenges radicalism, materialism, and secularism within modern society. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative normative-philosophical approach using library research, contextual hermeneutic interpretation, thematic coding, and comparative synthesis. Primary sources included classical Sufi texts, particularly works of Al-Ghazali and Al-Qushayri, supported by contemporary social theory literature. Data were analyzed through conceptual reconstruction without statistical software. (56 words) Main Findings: The study finds that tawassuth functions as ethical reflexivity against absolutism, zuhd operates as moral regulation within consumer capitalism, and ihsan strengthens inward accountability in plural public life. These principles collectively serve as complementary normative resources that reinforce moral integrity without replacing structural political or economic reforms in modern society. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study advances existing scholarship by systematically reconstructing Aswaja Sufism beyond devotional-historical analysis into a normative-critical framework integrated with modern social theory. It introduces an ethical reconstruction matrix translating classical Sufi principles into contemporary educational, civic, and institutional applications, thereby bridging spiritual moral psychology with structural modern challenges.

Teachers’ Perceptions and Practices of Reward and Punishment in Islamic Religious Education
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: The main objective of this study is to describe how teachers of Islamic Religious Education perceive the concepts of reward and punishment, how they understand their educational functions, and how they implement these strategies effectively in Islamic Religious Education learning processes at vocational high schools that are integrated with Islamic boarding schools and their moral values. Methodology: This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a field study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with teachers and key informants, classroom observations, and document analysis. The analytical framework was based on Skinner’s operant conditioning theory, including positive and negative reinforcement and punishment types I and II, to interpret teachers’ perceptions and educational practices within Islamic learning contexts. Main Findings: The findings indicate that teachers of Islamic Religious Education generally hold positive perceptions of reward and punishment in the learning process. Reward is considered an effective positive reinforcement to enhance students’ motivation, participation, and discipline, while punishment is implemented as an educational, proportional measure aligned with school regulations and Islamic boarding school culture. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers novelty by examining teachers’ perceptions and the implementation of reward and punishment within Islamic Religious Education learning at vocational high schools integrated with Islamic boarding schools, using an operant conditioning framework. The findings contribute to Islamic educational psychology by emphasizing humanistic and contextually grounded reinforcement and punishment practices that foster moral development, character building, and value-based learning

The Challenges of Islamic Literacy of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students From the Perspective of the Study of Islamic Education Philosophy
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the challenges of Islamic literacy among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) students from the perspective of Islamic educational philosophy, emphasizing the interrelation between basic literacy skills, learning processes, and the support provided by family and school environments. Methodology: Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, the quantitative phase involved administering Islamic literacy tests and questionnaires to 127 students in grades 5 and 6, followed by qualitative data collection through interviews, observations, and documentation to deepen the analysis. Main Findings: The findings indicate that students’ Islamic literacy levels fall within the moderate category, with particularly low performance in reading hijaiyah letters and understanding the meanings of Islamic texts. Additional inhibiting factors include the predominance of lecture-based teaching, limited use of varied learning media, low student reading interest, and insufficient literacy facilities both at home and in the madrasah. Parental support was also found to be limited, resulting in inconsistent literacy habits. From the standpoint of Islamic educational philosophy, these conditions reflect a significant gap between the ideal goal of forming the insan kamil and the actual literacy competencies of students, which have not yet been integrated across cognitive, spiritual, and moral dimensions. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study underscores the need to strengthen a comprehensive Islamic literacy ecosystem by enhancing pedagogical strategies, improving literacy facilities, and fostering family–school collaboration to support the formation of Islamic character from an early age.

The Transformation of Islamic Educational Institutions and Curricula in the Indonesian Archipelago During the Dutch and Japanese Colonial Periods: An Islamic Ethnopedagogical Perspective
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the transformation of the Islamic curriculum in the Indonesian archipelago during the Dutch and Japanese colonial periods. The study focuses on the influence of colonial policies on the direction, structure, and content of the curriculum in Islamic boarding schools, prayer rooms, and madrasas, as well as the role of Islamic ethnopedagogy in preserving the character of Islamic education based on tradition and local wisdom. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative-historical approach with heuristic, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography stages. Data were obtained from colonial archives, education regulations, curriculum documents, textbooks, and national and international scientific journals. All sources were described in a historical-critical and ethnopedagogical manner to identify changes in the objectives, structure, content, and value orientation of the Islamic education curriculum in the colonial socio-cultural context. Main Findings: The results show that Dutch colonial policy was repressive and restricted Islamic educational institutions and curricula, while Japan was more cooperative, albeit oriented towards the interests of the war. These differences in policy led to significant changes in institutional structure and curriculum content.

Islamic Education Reform in Western Contexts: Challenges and Opportunities for Teacher Professionalism
type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze how Islamic education reform in Western developing contexts influences the redefinition of teacher professionalism within Islamic moral and epistemological frameworks. It seeks to explore the dialectic between faith-based values and secular educational structures through an interpretive conceptual review. Methodology: The research employs a qualitative literature review using the Critical Interpretive Synthesis (CIS) approach. A total of 35 academic sources from 2010–2024 were selected from Scopus, SpringerLink, and Taylor & Francis databases. The synthesis critically integrates theoretical and empirical literature on Islamic education reform, teacher professionalism, and pedagogical renewal in developing Western societies. Main Findings: The synthesis reveals that reform in Islamic education functions as an epistemological reconstruction that redefines professionalism from a moral-spiritual foundation. Teachers in Western developing contexts act as mediators between Islamic ethics and plural educational demands. Reform initiatives emphasize ta’dib (ethical discipline), ihsan (excellence), and intercultural competence as the core of teacher professionalism, transforming education into a moral and spiritual enterprise. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes a conceptual framework of integrative professionalism, merging Islamic epistemology with global education theory. It offers a new understanding of how Islamic reform can serve as an ethical corrective to modern professionalism, positioning teachers as agents of spiritual renewal and social transformation in plural learning environments.

type: item
description: Purpose of the study: This research aims to understand how Muslimah students at the Faculty of Art and Design Education UPI interpret feminism in three main dimensions: humanization in peer relations, liberation: impact on the self, and transcendence: influence on religious understanding. Methodology: A qualitative phenomenological technique was used in this investigation. In-depth interviews with Muslimah students at FPSD UPI were used to gather data, which were bolstered by document analysis and observation.
