Mufaizah — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the interpretation of Surah At-Tahrim verse 6 and selected hadiths related to family protection as the foundation of preventive family-based Islamic education. The study aims to conceptualize Islamic education as a comprehensive protective system encompassing spiritual, moral, and social dimensions, as well as to analyze the role of parents in strengthening family resilience based on Qur’anic and Prophetic guidance. Employing a qualitative approach, this research utilizes thematic interpretation (tafsir maudhu‘i) and hadith content analysis, drawing on classical exegetical works such as those of Ibn Kathir and Ath-Thabari alongside contemporary scholarly literature. The findings indicate that QS. At-Tahrim: 6 emphasizes collective family responsibility in safeguarding members from moral and spiritual deviation through faith cultivation, exemplary conduct, and continuous educational supervision. Relevant hadiths on family protection, including HR. Abu Dawud No. 494, reinforce this mandate by highlighting early religious habituation and an affection-based preventive educational approach. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative framework that combines thematic Qur’anic exegesis with the concept of preventive family education, offering a holistic model of proactive Islamic education oriented toward safeguarding families from both worldly and ukhrawi threats. The study concludes that Qur’anic and Prophetic values should be systematically embedded within a proactive family-based Islamic education system to ensure comprehensive protection and well-being.

The Relevance of the Philosophy of Science in Constructing the Scientific Basis of Education as a Foundation for Improving the Quality of Learning in Schools

Ma'shumah Syamsir, Welly Ervina Solissa, Muhammad Syukur, M Ridwan Said Ahmad — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Low learning quality in schools, as reflected in national literacy performance, limited higher-order thinking activities, and the dominance of teacher-centered instruction, indicates a fundamental issue within the epistemic structure of education. This study aims to examine the relevance of philosophy of science in constructing the foundational principles of educational science as a basis for improving learning quality in schools. The research employs a qualitative approach with a structured literature study design. Data were obtained through the selection of relevant scholarly sources, including educational policy documents, national performance reports, philosophy of science textbooks, and indexed research articles. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques, involving data reduction, conceptual categorization, synthesis of findings, and the identification of relational patterns between empirical phenomena and the philosophical framework of science. The findings reveal that weak learning quality stems from the lack of integration among three core dimensions of educational science: ontology, epistemology, and axiology. Learners are not yet understood as active learning subjects; knowledge continues to be treated as a final object to be transmitted; and humanistic values have not become the foundation of instructional orientation. This conceptual fragmentation results in educational practices that are mechanistic and misaligned with scientific principles and the demands of the twenty-first century. The integration of philosophy of science provides a robust conceptual framework for reconstructing the foundational principles of educational science, enabling educators to develop learning processes that are more reflective, dialogical, critical, and value-oriented. The study affirms that improving learning quality requires the transformation of educators’ epistemic paradigms rather than mere technical innovation.

Ridha Kartini, Nizwardi Jalinus, Ernawati, Henny Yustisia — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in improving the quality of Vocational and Technological Education (PTK) in Indonesian vocational high schools. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research explores the dynamics of TQM practices through interviews, observations, and document reviews. The findings reveal that quality in vocational education is not driven solely by managerial documentation, but by the consistency of organizational behavior and cultural practices. High-performing schools demonstrate strong instructional leadership, embedded 5S work culture, industry-aligned teacher competencies, and active, sustainable partnerships with industrial stakeholders. In contrast, low-performing schools tend to implement TQM superficially, with incomplete PDCA cycles, inconsistent quality culture, and weak industry engagement. These findings emphasize that the success of TQM implementation relies on four key pillars: visionary leadership, consistent industrial work culture, continuous teacher competence development, and substantive industry collaboration as the primary customer. Therefore, improving vocational education quality requires systemic cultural transformation rather than purely administrative compliance.

Andi Wapa, Denok Andini , Ulya Nurul Laili — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This research aims to improve students' learning outcomes in reading poetry through the application of demonstration methods in class VIII of Muhammadiyah 11 Rogojampi Middle School. The background to this research is the low ability of students to read poetry expressively, caused by conventional learning methods that do not involve students' liveliness. This research uses a Class Action Research (PTK) approach with two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation and reflection stages. The research subjects were 16 students with varying levels of ability. The results of the pre-cycle observations showed that the majority of students were in the category of sufficient and insufficient grades, with an average of 59.37. After the application of the demonstration method, there was a significant increase in cycle I with the average value reaching 73.43. Students experience development in terms of intonation, expression, articulation, and appreciation when reading poetry. In addition to improving technical skills, this method also has a positive impact on students' learning motivation and self-confidence. The results of the study concluded that the demonstration method was effectively used in learning to read poetry because it was able to integrate cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. Therefore, this method is recommended to be applied in the teaching of other literary materials that require the expressive and interpretive involvement of students directly.

Liza Satria, Nurizam Auji, Guido Nainggolan — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Primary education plays a crucial role in shaping critical thinking competencies as one of the key skills of the 21st century. However, the learning practices in elementary schools are still dominated by a teacher-centered approach, so the potential for students' critical thinking has not yet developed optimally. This article aims to critically examine the implementation of student-centered learning in the context of thematic learning within the Merdeka Curriculum. The method used is a critical literature review thru the Critical Book Review (CBR) and Critical Journal Review (CJR) approaches, by examining theoretical literature and recent empirical research. The study results show that student-centered learning aligns with the principles of constructivism, which positions students as active subjects in building knowledge thru experience, interaction, and reflection. The application in thematic learning, especially thru the problem-based learning model, discovery learning, and probing prompting, has proven effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills, such as analysis, evaluation, problem-solving, and creativity. However, the effectiveness of the implementation highly depends on the readiness of the teachers, the quality of HOTS-based lesson planning, and the availability of media and supporting facilities. Some studies also show varying results, ranging from high to moderate categories, which emphasize the need to adapt strategies according to the school context. It is concluded that student-centered learning has both theoretical and practical relevance in enhancing critical thinking among elementary school students, provided it is supported by teacher competence and an adequate education system.

The Difference Between the Essence of Fiqh Lughah and Arabic Linguistics in the Study of Arabic Language Education

Afdhalul Madani, Abdul Rosyid, Rizky Syarif Al Rosyid, Iis Susiawati — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to thoroughly describe and analyze the essence, scope, and essential differences between Fiqih Lughah and Arabic Linguistics. The background reveals that although the Arabic language holds a central role as the foundation of civilization and the language of the Qur'an, the understanding of Arabic linguistic terms often overlaps, potentially affecting learning outcomes. The method employed is Library Research (Studi Pustaka) with a qualitative approach, involving descriptive-analytical data analysis, including the interpretation and comparison of classical and contemporary literature. The findings indicate that some scholars equate Fiqhul-Lughah with ‘Ilmul-Lughah, which is often defined as encompassing synchronic, diachronic, and comparative studies. However, the key distinction lies in the focus: Fiqih Lughah has a broader scope, is historical-comparative, and treats language as an instrument for understanding culture and civilization. Conversely, ‘Ilm al-Lughah is descriptive-structural and studies language as the primary objective. The research concludes that the most accurate term for linguistics is ‘Ilm al-Lughah, while Fiqh al-Lughah is more relevantly equated with philology, the discipline that examines the authenticity and content of classical manuscripts.

Guido Nainggolan, Ribka Sang Putri Zega, Cindy Pratiwi, Daulat Saragi — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to examine the effect of epistemological awareness-based learning interventions on the reading literacy skills of elementary school students. The background of this research is based on the low reading literacy of Indonesian students and the importance of the internal variable of epistemological beliefs in influencing how students understand texts. The research uses a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group pre-test/post-test design. The research subjects consisted of 60 fifth-grade students from PAB 27 Tanjung Mulia Private Elementary School in Medan City, who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The research instruments include a reading literacy test based on the PISA framework and an epistemological awareness questionnaire that have been tested for validity and reliability. The treatment in the form of problem-based reading instruction with multiperspective texts was given to the experimental group for eight weeks, while the control group learned using conventional methods. The results of the ANCOVA analysis showed a significant difference in post-test reading literacy scores between the two groups, F(1,57)=18.74, p<0.001. The increase in the average reading literacy score in the experimental group was higher (16.70 points) compared to the control group (6.60 points). These findings affirm that interventions stimulating epistemological awareness effectively enhance students' reading literacy in depth. The implications of this research encourage teachers to integrate learning strategies that not only focus on literal reading skills but also foster epistemological awareness as a foundation for developing critical literacy.

Didactic Design Understanding the Concept of Building Flat with Concrete Objects

Dian Purnomo, Risnawati, M. Fikri Hamdani — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Understanding the concept of flat building is one of the basic competencies that is very important in learning mathematics in elementary school because it is the foundation for geometry material at the next level, but unfortunately, many students still have difficulty in recognizing, distinguishing, and understanding the properties of various forms of flat building thoroughly. These difficulties are often caused by learning approaches that are too abstract, lack of use of concrete media, and lack of active involvement of students in the meaningful learning process. This research aims to design a didactic design that facilitates the understanding of the concept of flat building through the use of concrete objects. The research method used is didactic design research with a qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of grade IV elementary school students. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of student learning outcomes. The results of the study show that the use of concrete objects such as geometrically shaped pieces of paper, and everyday objects is able to help students understand the characteristics of building flat visually and tactily. The didactic design developed contains three stages, namely the stage of initial didactic situation analysis (prospective analysis), the stage of implementing didactic design in the classroom (metapedagogical), and the stage of retrospective analysis. These findings suggest that concrete object-based learning is effective in improving conceptual understanding and reducing students' misconceptions about flat builds. The implications of this research can be used as a reference for teachers in designing meaningful and contextual mathematics learning.

Efforts to Improve the Spiritual and Social Attitudes of Primary School Students Using Digital Learning Media

Giantomi Muhammad, Basmah Junnatussadiah — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Spiritual and social attitudes are interrelated. The manifestation of obedience to Allah SWT and carrying out His commands is embodied in spiritual attitudes. Meanwhile, mutual respect and appreciation as well as good social interaction are embodied in social attitudes. Similarly, the Islamic principle of amar makruf nahi munkar (enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil) underscores the importance of social and spiritual attitudes. Therefore, efforts are needed to enhance the spiritual and social development of students, one of which is through the use of digital learning media. This study aims to analyse these two attitudes as applied using digital learning media. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed at SD Matla’ul Khoeriyah in Bandung City. Research sources were obtained from the school principal, teachers, and students. Interviews, observations, and documentation were used as methods to collect data. The data was then analysed through collection, reduction, presentation, conclusion, and verification. The results of the study showed that the use of digital learning media effectively improved students' spiritual and social attitudes. In terms of spiritual attitudes, it enhances students' religiosity in school activities. Additionally, students' social attitudes emphasise a sense of camaraderie among peers, responsibility, and the habit of greeting others with a smile, greeting, politeness, and courtesy.

Naswa Nurafandi, Safriandi, Wulanda — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the use of empathetic language in natural disaster reporting in Aceh online media. The background of this research is based on the importance of language as a means of building social empathy and psychological support for disaster victims through reporting. Empathetic language is understood as a form of communication that reflects concern for the feelings and experiences of others, especially in crisis situations. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques involving reading and noting 25 news articles from 13 online media outlets in Aceh, namely Serambi Indonesia, AJNN.net, KBA. ONE, Harian Rakyat Aceh, Aceh Info, Haba Nusantara.net, Waspada Aceh.com, Noa.co.id, Koalisi.co, Aceh.tribunnews.com, Portalsatu.com, Anteroaceh.com, and Acehkini.id published between 2023 and 2024. Data analysis was conducted based on Davis' empathetic theory, which encompasses four aspects: perspective taking, empathic concern, personal distress, and fantasy. The research findings revealed 64 instances of empathetic language, comprising 48 instances of empathic concern, 9 instances of perspective taking, and 7 instances of personal distress. The fantasy aspect was not identified as the news texts were factual and objective in nature. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on linguistically analyzing the use of empathetic language in the context of disaster journalism in the Aceh region, as well as the application of Davis' theory, which has not been widely used in journalistic language studies. This study contributes to the development of empathetic communication in the mass media and encourages more humanistic journalistic practices.

Liza Satria, Nurizam Auji, Daulat Saragi — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of epistemology-based learning in improving the understanding of science concepts among fifth-grade students at PAB 27 Tanjung Mulia Private Elementary School. The research uses a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design involving 52 students, consisting of 26 students in the experimental class and 26 students in the control class. The experimental class received epistemology-based learning involving activities of little scientists such as observing phenomena, formulating questions, constructing hypotheses, conducting experiments, and drawing evidence-based conclusions, while the control class received conventional learning. Data were collected thru written tests, observation of learning activities, and documentation, then analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, independent sample t-tests, and N-Gain calculations. The research results showed that the average Posttest score of the experimental class was higher than that of the control class (81.5 vs 68.7), with an average N-Gain of 0.61 (medium-high) in the experimental class and 0.32 (low-medium) in the control class. Statistical analysis shows a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05).

This research aims to analyze the impact of social media usage on interactions within family relationships between teenagers and parents in South Aceh Regency. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method conducted in Gampong Gunung Ketek, Samadua District. Data were obtained thru in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation from ten informants consisting of five teenagers and five parents. The research results show that the use of social media has an ambivalent effect on family relationships. WhatsApp and YouTube have a positive impact because they can strengthen communication, facilitate the exchange of information, and create moments of family togetherness. On the other hand, TikTok and Instagram tend to reduce the intensity of face-to-face interactions, foster individualism, and widen the communication gap between generations. Facebook, although increasingly less used by teenagers, still serves as a medium for maintaining relationships among parents and extended family. In general, this research emphasizes that the influence of social media on family relationships highly depends on the intensity of use, the purpose of interaction, and the values upheld within the family. Therefore, digital literacy and proportional supervision are necessary so that social media can be utilized as a means to strengthen, not weaken, family harmony in the digital era.

The effectiveness of learning activities in the classroom greatly influences students’ academic achievement. One teaching approach considered to be highly effective is the AL-ETH strategy, which emphasizes active student participation by allowing learners to teach the subject matter to their peers. This research aims to investigate the impact of the AL-ETH method on IPAS learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 08 Koba. The study applied a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental approach. Data collection involved pretests and posttests, with instruments that had previously been validated for reliability and validity. The resulting data were then subjected to normality and homogeneity tests to verify their suitability for statistical analysis. The findings from the normality test showed that the control group had significance values of 0.233 for the pretest and 0.085 for the posttest. Similarly, the experimental group obtained significance values of 0.380 and 0.121 for the pretest and posttest, respectively. Since all values exceeded the 0.05 threshold, the data from both groups were deemed to be normally distributed. In addition, the homogeneity test revealed that both the pretest and posttest data were homogeneous, with significance values of 0.515 and 0.557. Based on these findings, the alternative hypothesis was accepted, suggesting that the “Everyone Is A Teacher Here” (AL-ETH) strategy had a statistically significant positive effect on improving IPAS learning outcomes among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 08 Koba.

In Islamic teachings, wudu is understood as a process of physical and spiritual purification that prepares a Muslim to worship and draw closer to Allah Almighty. Using a thematic exegesis (tafsir maudhu‘i) approach to analyze Qur’anic verses and the Prophet Muhammad’s hadiths, this research reveals that each act in wudu carries symbolic meaning related to self-purification and self-control. Verses such as QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 222 and prophetic traditions on wudu indicate that physical cleanliness reflects inner purity, which fosters spiritual tranquility. The findings show that wudu embodies three essential dimensions: the ritual dimension as an act of obedience to Islamic law, the psychological dimension as a medium for relaxation and emotional calmness, and the spiritual dimension as a means of inner healing that connects humans with their Creator. Psychologically, the practice of wudu has been shown to reduce stress levels, enhance focus, and strengthen emotional balance through stimulation of the body’s nervous system. Theologically, wudu is part of the process of tazkiyah al-nafs (purification of the soul), shaping a Muslim’s character to be pure, peaceful, and spiritually aware. Therefore, wudu is not merely a ritual of physical cleanliness but also a form of spiritual healing that restores harmony between body, mind, and soul.

Technology-Based Learning (Blended Learning Flipped Classroom) Integration of Technology in Learning at MI

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This research was conducted to find out how effective the blended learning learning method is for thematic learning in increasing student learning independence. The results of the observation of learning in pre-cycle students experience difficulties in learning independently due to a lack of motivation from the teacher and confusion in understanding and finding references to subject matter. This research is a classroom action research with blended learning variables to increase learning independence. From the implementation of the actions of cycle II, it is known that there is an increase in learning independence through the Blended Learning approach. It can be seen from (1) the criteria for learning independence, namely the average score of the selfconfidence aspect is 81.43; discipline aspect 81.07 ; initiative aspect 79.64 ; and aspects of responsibility 82.14. The average score for each aspect has reached the minimum completeness criteria, namely 75. (2) where the average student score increases from cycle I (before action) which is 62.14 and in cycle II is 77, 14. (3) Learning completeness also increased from cycle I, namely 42.86% to 85.71% in cycle II. Thus thematic learning with a blended learning approach is said to be successful. As for the advantages and disadvantages of blended learning, the advantages of this approach include that students are more active in learning, learning is more varied and interesting with various learning support platforms, and student learning independence increases. While the weaknesses are such as if the teacher does not master the learning support platform, the learning objectives will not be achieved.

This study aims to analyze the forms of hate speech found in the comment sections of Instagram and TikTok accounts discussing the Governor of Aceh for the 2025–2030 term. The background of this research stems from the growing phenomenon of hate speech on social media, which often targets public figures particularly regional officials potentially influencing public image and trust. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collection techniques including reading, documentation, and note-taking on comments containing hate speech. The data were analyzed based on hate speech categories according to the Indonesian National Police Circular, R. Soesilo (in Permatasari & Subyantoro), the Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), and other relevant theories on hate speech. The results indicate that there are 62 comments containing hate speech, consisting of 45 insults, 11 cases of defamation, 1 blasphemy, 3 instances of provocation, and 2 hoaxes. The most dominant category is insults, followed by defamation. This study concludes that social media has become a vulnerable space for the dissemination of hate speech, particularly in the context of local political issues. These findings are expected to provide input for the public to engage more wisely in online discourse and for authorities to strengthen digital literacy and law enforcement.

From Logical Structure to Critical Reasoning: Philosophical Perspectives on Venn Diagrams as Epistemological Tools

Andi Kamal Ahmad, Nurcholish Aziz, Marjuni, Afifuddin Harisah, Muhammad Amin — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This paper addresses the research gap where the Venn Diagram is narrowly viewed as a technical tool in set theory, overlooking its profound philosophical role in logic. By employing a qualitative literature review that synthesizes classical philosophical texts on logic with contemporary mathematical analysis, the study aims to recontextualize the Venn Diagram as a critical epistemological instrument for valid reasoning. The methodology focuses on integrating foundational principles of philosophy with the diagram's procedural mechanics. The analysis reveals that the systematic notation of the Venn Diagram (shading for null sets and 'x' for existential import) provides a formal, visual procedure for testing the validity of syllogistic arguments. This process effectively transforms abstract logical structures into a tangible "visual logic," enhancing both problem-solving capabilities and the philosophical pursuit of rigor and clarity. In conclusion, this recontextualization successfully demonstrates the Venn Diagram’s function as a crucial bridge between abstract logic and concrete critical thinking, suggesting the need to reinforce the teaching of such visual-logical tools within broader philosophical and educational frameworks to cultivate robust moral and critical reasoning.

Susilawati, Dindin, Meity Suratiningsih — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning model assisted by animated video media on narrative text writing skills of tenth-grade students at SMAN 17 Bandung. The research method employed a quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control group, involving 72 students divided into experimental and control classes. Data collection was conducted through pretest, posttest, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using parametric statistics with SPSS 21.0. Results indicated significant improvement in the experimental class with average scores increasing from 1.67 to 2.5 (normalized gain 0.72), while the control class only improved from 1.55 to 1.93 (normalized gain 0.34). Paired sample t-test yielded significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, confirming meaningful differences between groups. The STAD model assisted by animated video proved effective in facilitating active collaboration and visual stimulation supporting writing creativity. Students demonstrated improvement in character development, characterization, and contemporary language style. This research recommends implementing this learning model as an innovative strategy to enhance narrative text writing skills at the senior high school level.
