Membangun Self-Regulated Learning melalui Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta dan Pembelajaran Digital pada Peserta Didik Madrasah Ibtidaiyah
Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is an important skill that needs to be developed so that students can manage their learning process independently and responsibly. In practice, strengthening SRL has not been systematically developed in learning, especially when the curriculum and the use of learning media are not integrated. This article examines the growth of SRL through the use of a Love-Based Curriculum (LBC) supported by digital learning media. This study uses a library research method. Data sources consist of books, policy documents, and journal articles relevant to SRL, LBC, and digital learning. The results of the study indicate that integrating LBC and digital learning media fosters a humanistic, emotionally safe learning climate, strengthens values of empathy, responsibility, and self-awareness, and provides flexible, reflective learning spaces. The values of LBC serve as an affective and moral foundation that supports the self-regulation process. In contrast, digital learning media serve as tools that facilitate learning planning, process monitoring, and student reflection. In conclusion, the integration of LBC and the use of digital learning media holistically strengthen SRL in elementary school students and have practical implications for the design of more humanistic, adaptive, and sustainable madrasah learning.

Beyond Terminology: A Qur’an and Hadith Reconstruction of Tarbiyah, Ta’līm, and Ta’dīb
This study addresses persistent terminological ambiguity in Islamic education by reconstructing the concepts of tarbiyah, ta’līm, and ta’dīb based on Qur’anic and Hadith sources. While previous studies have examined these terms philosophically or semantically, they often fail to clarify their distinct educational functions and practical implications. This article argues that these concepts represent complementary dimensions of a unified Islamic educational paradigm rather than interchangeable terms. The study employs qualitative text-based religious research using tafsīr tarbawī and ḥadīth maudū‘ī approaches. Qur’anic verses and Prophetic traditions relevant to the three concepts were systematically identified, classified, and analyzed through authoritative classical and contemporary exegesis. Conceptual reconstruction was further guided by Izutsu’s Qur’anic semantic framework to uncover their epistemological, ontological, and axiological orientations. The findings demonstrate that tarbiyah functions as a process-oriented framework emphasizing holistic, gradual human development; ta’līm represents authoritative, ethically grounded knowledge transmission; and ta’dīb serves as the axiological goal of education, centered on the formation of adab. Together, they form an integrated educational paradigm, with pesantren illustrating their organic implementation. As a normative-conceptual study, findings are not empirically generalizable. However, they provide a foundational framework for curriculum design and institutional analysis in Islamic education. This study offers a Qur’an-Hadith-based reconstruction that bridges conceptual debates and educational praxis, contributing a coherent framework for Islamic educational reform.

Integrating Local and Spiritual Values in Affective Assessment: Strategies of Islamic Religious Education Teachers
Affective assessment in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) plays a strategic role in shaping students’ character holistically and contextually. However, little is known about how IRE teachers integrate local and spiritual values into assessment practices at the junior high school level. This study uses a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study involving four IRE teachers at a public junior high school in Bandung. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Findings show that affective assessment was implemented through adaptive strategies grounded in local cultural values such as someah (hospitality and respect) and silih asih (mutual care and compassion). These practices were reinforced by reflective and collaborative approaches, revealing contextual and sustainable dimensions of affective assessment. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how local and spiritual values enrich affective assessment in IRE and offers a novel perspective on contextualized character education. Practical implications include the need for standardized affective assessment instruments, continuous professional development for teachers, and integration of affective assessment into curriculum policy as a transformative pedagogical tool.

Strategi Manajemen Pendidikan Islam dalam Meningkatkan Mutu Hafalan Santri di Ma’had Tahfiz Vokasional
This study examines the strategy of Islamic education management in improving the quality of students' Quran memorization at Ma'had Tahfiz Vokasional. The research focuses on analyzing the implementation of an integrated education model that combines Quran memorization with vocational education. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that improvements in students' memorization quality are achieved through an integrated curriculum management strategy with balanced proportions of tahfiz, vocational training, and character development. This strategy is strengthened by professional human resource management through selective recruitment and continuous capacity building for tahfiz instructors. The learning process is systematically managed by integrating classical and modern methods within a comprehensive, tiered system. A conducive learning environment is created through the implementation of Arabic language immersion (bi'ah lughowiyah) and the utilization of educational technology. A continuous evaluation system and a strategic partnership with parents support the entire process. The research findings indicate that integrating vocational education enhances memorization quality through intellectual refreshment mechanisms and by building students' self-confidence. This management model offers a new paradigm in tahfiz education that successfully balances spiritual excellence with contemporary social relevance.

Challenges and Opportunities in Strengthening Religious Moderation: A Psychological Study of Muslim Adolescents' Attitudes
Religious moderation needs to be understood and implemented in national and state life. Problems in implementing religious moderation still occur in society. Efforts to strengthen religious moderation have been made, but preventive efforts, such as identifying individual attitudes, have not been studied. This paper aims to uncover adolescents' attitudes toward interfaith diversity using a descriptive, quantitative approach and an eight-question survey administered to 27 adolescents at a madrasah school. The results show that the majority of respondents exhibited inhibiting attitudes, including a tendency to worship excessively, a lack of friends or activities with people of different religions, a lack of opportunities to visit places of worship of other religions, and a tendency to avoid conflict without a solution. The majority of respondents also showed openness to making friends with people of different religions, to cross-checking information for fairness, and to understanding Islam that respects traditions as long as they do not conflict with Islamic law. This identification broadens the theoretical perspective on religious moderation, understanding it not only as cognitive learning but also as a socio-psychological process. These findings provide a mapping and recommendations for developing a tolerance-strengthening program to build a broad and sustainable ecosystem of religious moderation.

The Relevance of Islamic Teaching in Madrasah Diniyah within Semi-Urban Communities
Society today stands at a crossroads between tradition and modernity. People are vulnerable to shifts in values due to massive developments, such as deviant behavior, the erosion of traditions, and a lack of religious understanding. Therefore, there is a need for spiritual education that integrates spirituality and morality, as in Madrasah Diniyah. The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of Islamic teaching at Madrasah Diniyah in response to shifting values in semi-urban areas. This study uses a qualitative, case-study approach. The results show that Madrasah Diniyah has succeeded in instilling good character values in students through consistent teaching of faith, morals, and worship practices, thereby increasing their spiritual and moral sensitivity. Student participation in local traditions strengthens their understanding and appreciation of culture with noble values rooted in society. Affordability, flexibility in learning time, and regional content in the curriculum are responses to community needs. The findings show that Islamic teaching in Madrasah Diniyah is relevant to the conditions of semi-urban communities, thereby helping build children’s spirituality and morals, increasing understanding of community traditions, and providing easy access to needs. This study is limited to narrative analysis, a specific regional context, and a limited number of informants. Further studies are recommended to analyze the broader community’s perception of Islamic teaching at Madrasah Diniyah through a quantitative approach.

Religious Moderation Strengthening Strategies through the Formulation of Anti-violence Culture at Pesantren
This research aims to analyze the institute's policy for strengthening a culture of religious moderation against violence. The research focuses on the process of formulating policies and implementing anti-violent religious moderation values. This study uses a qualitative case study approach. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with pesantren leaders, two ustadhs, and Islamic students (santri), as well as document data. The results of the study show that policy formulation to strengthen religious moderation is carried out in a participatory manner through deliberation led by the kiai as the holder of the highest authority. The value of anti-violence is the primary foundation in the formulation of institutional policies. Policy implementation is carried out through the example of Kiai, the study of classical texts focused on manners and character development that reject physical punishment, and santri's social activities that strengthen harmonious interactions with the community. This study concludes that transformative and contextual kiai leadership is the main factor in the success of internalizing the value of anti-violent religious moderation in pesantren. This finding contributes to the understanding that pesantren, as socio-religious entities, play an active role in building a peaceful religious life.

Peran Strategis Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Memperkuat Kecerdasan Spiritual Siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas
Strengthening spiritual intelligence often faces challenges. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) teachers in enhancing the spiritual intelligence of high school students. This qualitative research employed a case study design. Data collection was conducted using interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that IRE teachers have fulfilled their educational role by transferring contextual religious knowledge, exemplifying exemplary attitudes, habituating worship, and providing moral guidance that influences student behavior. As facilitators, IRE teachers play a role in delivering reflective learning spaces, encouraging religious discussions, and applying religious activities. However, obstacles remain, including low family support, declining student motivation to learn, and limited innovation in learning methods and media. This study concludes that strengthening students' spiritual intelligence requires the role of IRE teachers who are innovative, reflective, and collaborative. Synergistic efforts among teachers, schools, and parents are crucial to creating an environment conducive to students' spiritual growth, so that IRE can serve as a vehicle for knowledge transfer, character transformation, and spiritual growth.

Aligning Students' Competencies with Global Workforce Standards: A Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM) Perspective
This study examines UIN Syekh Wasil Kediri undergraduates' work-related competencies through the Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM) lens. Recognizing that modern bachelor‐level programs are increasingly geared toward employability, this evaluative field research employs Provus' DEM framework alongside a convergent mixed‐methods design. Qualitative insights were gathered via interviews, observations, and document analyses, while quantitative data were obtained through a structured questionnaire. A total of 386 students from the PBA, IAT, and PAI programs participated. We adopted Spencer and Spencer's five‐factor competency model to establish performance standards, motives, traits, self‐concept, knowledge, and skills. The questionnaire, developed in collaboration with the Insight Yogyakarta Institute, set a benchmark of 87 points as the minimum acceptable score. The process phase measured student performance, revealing that 51.3% (n = 198) met or exceeded this threshold. Notable gaps emerged in motives (mean = 15.87) and skills (mean = 18.16), attributable to intense labor‐market competition and a curriculum that insufficiently nurtures interpersonal and technical proficiencies. This study contributes to developing recommendations in the form of targeted interventions to improve students' work competencies, namely through motivational seminars and skill development workshops for students and pedagogical development programs for lecturers. This article has implications for enriching work competency theory, curriculum development strategies, and institutional evaluation design.

Insan Kamil at the Crossroads of Time: Transformative Islamic Education Model to Face Global Challenges
The concept of insan kamil represents the ideal of the perfect human in Islam, reflecting spiritual, intellectual, and moral excellence. In the context of a rapidly changing global landscape shaped by social, technological, and value-based transformations, Islamic education is required to respond through a transformative approach that is both relevant and sustainable. This study aims to systematically examine how the concept of insan kamil is formulated and implemented within a transformative Islamic education model to address contemporary demands. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, the research analyzed twelve scholarly articles published within the past five years focusing on insan kamil, Islamic education, and educational transformation. The review identified four central themes: the theoretical conceptualization of insan kamil, the dynamics of transformative change in Islamic education, the educational responses to global challenges, and the integration of spiritual values with global competencies in educational design. The findings reveal that insan kamil serves not only as a normative ideal but also as an implementable framework for curriculum reform, learning strategies, and character development. The main contribution of this article lies in its conceptual synthesis, which bridges Sufi thought with contemporary educational practice, providing an epistemological foundation for the development of holistic, contextual, and transformative Islamic education policies in the global era.

Pendidikan Humanis melalui Internalisasi Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri
This study aims to analyze the internalization of aspects of the Love-Based Curriculum (KBC) in Indonesian, English, and Arabic subjects. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through document analysis in the form of Lesson Plans (RPP) and Work Reference Framework (KAK) prepared by language teachers at MAN Insan Cendekia OKI. The results show that the internalization of the value of love is carried out through learning content and instructional strategies, for example, the selection of poetry texts, argumentative texts, and themes of everyday life. Of the six aspects of love formulated in the KBC, most have been integrated into the learning design, although implementation is still partial and requires strengthening in the aspects of love for the environment and the nation. These findings confirm that the KBC has relevance in developing humanist education in madrasas, but its success is highly dependent on teacher consistency and madrasa policy support.

Implementasi Model Desain Bela H. Banathy dalam Meningkatkan Partisipasi Mahasiswa pada Mata Kuliah Akidah Akhlak
Teaching of Aqidah Akhlak tends to be theoretically oriented, lacking integration of the internalization of values and the actualization of morals into the realities of life. Bela H. Banathy’s design model presents an alternative systemic approach that emphasizes improving student learning performance by integrating all learning elements dynamically and comprehensively. Therefore, this study aims to examine the aspects of the Banathy design model applied in Aqidah Akhlak learning, as well as its supporting and inhibiting factors. This study uses a qualitative case study research method. Based on the analysis results, the Banathy design model has been implemented in the Aqidah Akhlak learning. Banathy’s systemic and holistic approach is evident in the lecturers’ efforts to prepare structured lesson plans (RPS), use participatory methods, and orient towards strengthening character. The successful implementation is due to innovative lecturers, active student participation, and the alignment of the institution’s vision that upholds Islamic values. The inhibiting factors include limited facilities, inadequate lecturer training, and the absence of institutional-level policies.

Optimalisasi Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Budi Pekerti melalui Pendekatan Konstruktivistik di Sekolah Menengah Pertama
This study explores implementing a constructivist approach in optimizing the learning process of Islamic religious education and character education at SMP Negeri 1 Narmada. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data analysis through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. Extended observation techniques were used to ensure data validity. The study results indicate that implementing a constructivist approach can create a more interactive and participatory learning process. Methods such as small group discussions, mind mapping, and demonstrations can encourage active student involvement and cooperation. They not only passively receive material but also actively build understanding, connect knowledge with everyday experiences, and internalize moral and spiritual values. This study also found supporting factors, such as the role of teachers as facilitators, active student participation, and the availability of adequate facilities and learning resources. There are also inhibiting factors, such as peers and social media. Overall, the constructivist approach has been proven to increase deeper understanding, develop critical thinking skills, and shape positive attitudes in students in learning Islamic religious education and character education.

Intensitas Bermain Game Online, Minat, dan Prestasi Belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan
This study aims to determine the relationship between the intensity of online game playing, learning interest, and Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning achievement in Vocational High School (SMK) students. This study is based on increasing online game use among adolescents and the lack of empirical studies specifically highlighting its influence on interest and learning achievement in religious subjects. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. A sample of 82 grade X students of SMK PGRI 2 Kediri was randomly selected. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire on the intensity of online game playing, a questionnaire on PAI learning interest, and documentation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) report card grades. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that learning interest had a significant positive effect on Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning achievement (p < 0.05). In contrast, the intensity of online game playing did not show a significant effect. However, high intensity of online game playing has the potential to take up students' study time and does not provide tangible benefits to improving their learning achievement. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.248 indicates that the two variables explain 24.8% of the variation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning achievement. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening learning interest as a primary strategy in improving learning outcomes and the need for wise time management in digital activities such as online games.

Portfolio Assessment Strategies to Improve Prospective Teacher Competency in Islamic Religious Education Learning
One of the most critical competencies a teacher must possess is effectively assessing learning. To achieve this, prospective teachers need to develop the skill of crafting high-quality questions that meet three essential criteria: alignment with learning objectives, the capacity to measure higher-order cognitive skills, and the use of precise and clear question narratives. This study focuses on implementing portfolio assessment in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning evaluation course, which aims to improve students' ability to make questions as a tool in learning evaluation. The research adopts a qualitative approach, specifically Classroom Action Research (CAR), to explore the impact of this intervention. The findings of this study reveal significant improvements in students' ability to formulate questions, as measured by three key indicators. First, students demonstrated a marked progression in their ability to create questions that align with learning objectives, advancing from the "poor" category to the "very good" category. Second, there was a notable shift in the cognitive level of the questions produced, with students moving from constructing questions that targeted lower-order thinking skills (levels 1-2) to those that engaged medium-level cognitive processes (levels 3-4). Third, students exhibited a substantial enhancement in their ability to compose question narratives that are both precise and clear, transitioning from an initial "poor" categorization to a "very good" level of proficiency. Therefore, the study concludes that integrating portfolio assignments into the curriculum is an effective strategy for developing question design skills among prospective PAI teachers.

Resiliensi Pesantren melalui Integrasi Nilai-nilai Islam dalam Manajemen Modern di Pondok Pesantren
Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) not only focus on religious studies but also on social and economic empowerment. This study explores human resource management (HRM) strategies at Pondok Pesantren An Nur using a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the pesantren has a well-organized organizational structure, systematic work programs, and efforts to enhance the competence of ustadz through training and missionary assignments (dakwah). The management of santri is conducted through practice-based education, spiritual discipline, and skill development in the fields of dakwah and organization. Additionally, the pesantren’s relationships with the community and external institutions play a role in strengthening its social impact and program sustainability. However, challenges such as suboptimal coordination and limited resources remain. The study implies that integrating Islamic values with modern management approaches can create a more adaptive and competitive pesantren. The indicators of success include the effectiveness of work programs, improvement in the quality of ustadz and santri, and the strengthening of external networks. This research contributes by providing insights for pesantren administrators in developing innovative HRM strategies and for academics in understanding the dynamics of pesantren as educational and community empowerment institutions.
Underware Rules Terintegrasi Akhlak Islam sebagai Pencegahan Child Abuse di Sekolah Dasar Negeri
In recent times, sex education has become an urgent matter to be conveyed, considering the many cases of sexual violence targeting children, especially in educational institutions. This community service was conducted at two State Elementary Schools in Tanjunganom Nganjuk. The CBR method has four stages: laying the foundation, planning, information gathering and analysis and acting on findings. This community service shows the results that sex education at Tanjunganom Elementary School is carried out through three strategic steps; the first is collaboration, which is carried out together with KKG PAI Tanjunganom. Second is material construction, namely determining the material adopted through underware rules, which is then integrated with Islamic education. Third, stimulus provision, namely in the form of a competition with the theme My Body is My Own and Good Secret and Bad Secret. In the implementation of sex education, it can significantly increase students' knowledge. The implementation of sex education cannot be separated from the provision of material about Islamic morals. In addition, sex education at the Elementary School level, which is carried out through various methods, must also be balanced with discussions and lectures as an actualization of the construction of material in children's memories. This form of education is an effective preventive step in reducing the number of cases of sexual violence.

Integrasi Konsep Ta’dib dengan Program 5S dalam Pembentukan Karakter Sosial dan Cinta Damai Siswa
This study aims to integrate the concept of ta'dib, which emphasizes the formation of manners, morals, and ethics as proposed by Syed Naquib al-Attas, with the 5S program (Smile, Greeting, Greeting, Polite, Courteous) in the context of character education at SMK ICB Cinta Niaga. A qualitative approach with a case study design was used to explore the implementation of this program and its impact on student character building. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using NVivo12 software. The results show that ta'dib values in the 5S program can enhance various aspects of students' character development, particularly in improving students' social interactions (such as mutual respect and cooperation among peers), fostering harmonious teacher-student relationships (through enhanced communication and mutual appreciation), and strengthening the habituation of positive behaviors (such as discipline, responsibility, and empathy). Ta'dib values are reflected in simple yet meaningful habits that support holistic character building in accordance with Islamic values. This finding confirms the relevance of ta'dib in modern education to answer the challenges of globalization. However, this study has limitations in the limited scope of the school, so the generalization of the results of this study is a challenge. Further research is recommended to expand the scope of locations and use a mixed-method approach to deepen the analysis and produce more comprehensive findings.

Intelligence Components, Learning Agility Quotient, and Work Readiness of Indonesian Islamic Education Graduates in Industry 4.0
Integrating Islamic education with Industry 4.0 (IR4.0) presents significant challenges for graduates preparing to enter the workforce. This study aims to analyze the relationships between intelligence components (technology literacy, professional knowledge, critical thinking, problem-solving skills), learning agility quotient, and work readiness of Indonesian Islamic education graduates in the IR4.0 environment and to examine the mediating role of learning agility in these relationships. Using a quantitative cross-sectional approach, data were collected from 182 final-year Islamic education program students (96.2% aged 22-25 years; 73.1% female) and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that technology literacy (β=0.438, p<0.001) and problem-solving skills (β=0.345, p<0.001) positively influence learning agility, while critical thinking demonstrates an unexpected negative relationship (β=-0.229, p<0.001). Learning agility positively influences work readiness (β=0.258, p<0.001) and significantly mediates the relationships between technology literacy, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and work readiness. These findings highlight the importance of developing learning agility as a linking mechanism between cognitive capabilities and work readiness and imply that Islamic education institutions should strengthen technology literacy and problem-solving skills while developing approaches that balance traditional values with adaptive learning capabilities to prepare graduates for the complex demands of the IR4.0 era.
Nilai-nilai Pendidikan Islam dalam Tradisi Kelahiran Anak di Sumatra Selatan
This study aims to reveal the values ​​of Islamic education contained in the tradition of childbirth. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method in Sidomukti village, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The study subjects included parents who had just given birth, community leaders, and religious leaders selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The study had three main findings. First, birth traditions such as aqiqah and naming reflect the values ​​of Islamic education, gratitude to Allah, and a commitment to instilling spiritual values ​​from an early age. Second, the involvement of religious leaders in naming emphasizes the importance of religious guidance in children's education, which is seen as the beginning of the formation of Islamic character. Third, the Thanksgiving event after the aqiqah is a forum for strengthening social ties, delivering religious advice to parents, and strengthening community support in children's education. In conclusion, the birth tradition in Sidomukti is not only a social ritual but also a medium for character and spiritual education based on Islamic values. This study recommends integrating these values ​​into formal and non-formal education curricula to support forming a generation with Islamic character and high spiritual awareness

Implementasi Cerita Islami dalam Menanamkan Nilai-nilai Keagamaan pada Santri Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an
The phenomenon of moral degradation and the weakening of religious character in children during the digital era has become an increasingly concerning issue. Many children are more familiar with gadgets and digital content than with religious values, a crucial foundation in character formation. This study examines the implementation of Islamic stories as an effective method for shaping children's religious character. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research results reveal three main findings: first, the process of implementing Islamic stories; second, the religious values instilled; and third, the challenges faced. Islamic stories have become a routine part of the learning process, conducted monthly during the third week and inserted outside the main learning time. The religious values instilled include monotheism (tauhid), worship (ibadah), and morality (akhlak). Challenges in implementing Islamic stories include limited story sources, difficulty selecting appropriate stories, and limited learning time. The implications of this study indicate that the structured implementation of Islamic stories, adapted to children's age, is proven to be effective in instilling religious values and serves as an educational alternative amidst the increasingly complex challenges of the times.
