PERAN SEJARAH KEBUDAYAAN ISLAM SKI DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER KEPEMIMPINAN PADA SISWA KELAS VIII MTS AL HIDAYAH WAJAK
Developing leadership character is a crucial aspect of Islamic education, as students are expected to possess not only academic competence but also qualities such as honesty, discipline, responsibility, courage, and the ability to collaborate. The subject of Islamic Cultural History (SKI) holds strategic potential for shaping this character, as its curriculum includes exemplary stories of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his companions, the caliphs, religious scholars, and other Islamic figures who embody leadership values. This study aims to describe the lesson planning, instructional implementation, and impact of SKI lessons on the leadership character development of eighth-grade students at MTs Al Hidayah Wajak. A qualitative, descriptive research approach was employed. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and document analysis, involving the SKI teacher, eighth-grade students, the madrasa principal, and the deputy principal for curriculum affairs. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model—comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing—while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the SKI teacher integrated leadership values into lesson objectives, content, methods, activities, and evaluation. Implementation involved group discussions, presentations, question-and-answer sessions, assignments, storytelling based on Islamic history, and the teacher serving as a role model. The instruction positively influenced students' character development, particularly regarding honesty, discipline, responsibility, cooperation, self-confidence, and the ability to lead groups. Thus, SKI instruction serves not merely as a means of transferring knowledge about Islamic history but also as a vehicle for fostering leadership character among students.

STRATEGI SANTRIWATI MENJAGA HAFALAN AL-QUR'AN DI TENGAH AKTIVITAS BELAJAR KEPESANTRENAN DI SMP AL-MAAHIRA INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL MALANG
Memorizing the Qur'an (tahfidz) in a modern Islamic boarding school demands a balance between achieving new memorization targets (ziyadah) and maintaining previously memorized verses (muraja'ah). In practice, early-adolescent female students (santriwati) often experience cognitive and physical fatigue due to a dense daily schedule combining national/international academic and pesantren curricula from dawn until night. The main problem addressed is the lack of consistent strategies among santriwati for retaining Qur'an memorization amid this demanding routine. This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, and supporting-inhibiting factors of santriwati in maintaining Qur'an memorization at SMP Al-Maahira International Islamic Boarding School Malang. A qualitative case-study approach was employed, with the researcher as the main instrument in a non-intervening, participatory role. Data were collected through descriptive observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Results show that santriwati plan their retention strategy through structured daily/weekly targets, effective time selection, and spiritual readiness; implement it through routine muraja'ah, the takrir repetition method, peer review, formal deposits (setoran), and tasmi' sessions; and are supported by internal motivation, teacher guidance, a conducive environment, and peer support, while being hindered by dense schedules, physical-mental fatigue, boredom, and low self-confidence during deposits.
PERAN METODE INTERAKTIF DALAM MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN MATA PEMBELAJARAN FIQIH SISWA KELAS X DI MA AL-MA'ARIF SINGOSARI
Fiqh learning in Madrasah Aliyah often relies on one-way lectures, leading to superficial rote memorization. At MA Al-Ma'arif Singosari, Grade X students experience academic burnout due to dual school-pesantren schedules, despite having strong sociological capital from pesantren discussion traditions. This qualitative case study examines the teacher's orchestration of interactive methods by leveraging students' sociological capital. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative reduction and triangulation. The results show that the Fiqh teacher implemented interactive learning via the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) model, incorporating small-group discussions, presentations, and quizzes. The teacher fulfilled six main roles: educator (murobbi), motivator, learning resource, facilitator, mentor, and evaluator. Interactive methods successfully enhanced student understanding from memorization to substantive comprehension (translating, interpreting, extrapolating) and boosted public speaking confidence. However, its efficacy depends on the teacher's awareness of students' daily physical and mental readiness.

A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving the principal, Islamic education teachers, religious activity coordinators, and students. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, while credibility was ensured through source, technique, and time triangulation. The findings reveal that religious activities are systematically planned through coordination meetings and implemented consistently through congregational Dhuha prayer, Yasin and Tahlil recitation, short surah recitation, religious speeches (kultum), and memorization evaluations. These activities positively contribute to strengthening students' religious character, as reflected in improved worship discipline, Qur'an literacy, politeness, responsibility, social awareness, and self-confidence, ultimately creating a sustainable religious culture within the madrasah.
STRATEGI KEPEMIMPINAN KEPALA SEKOLAH DALAM PENGEMBANGAN BUDAYA RELIGIUS DI SMKN 8 MALANG
The development of religious culture is an important effort in shaping students’ character through the continuous internalization of religious values within the school environment. The success of religious culture development is closely related to the principal’s leadership in designing policies, directing school members, and creating an environment that supports the implementation of religious values. This study aims to analyze the principal’s leadership strategies, the implementation of these strategies, and their outcomes in developing religious culture at SMKN 8 Malang. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design.

These strategies were realized through religious programs such as prayers before and after learning activities, Qur’an recitation, congregational prayers, and the 5S culture (smile, greeting, salutation, politeness, and respect). These programs positively influenced students’ religiosity, discipline, responsibility, and active participation in creating a religious school environment.
IMPLEMENTASI EKOTEOLOGI DALAM KURIKULUM PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DI MTsN 3 MALANG
The increasingly alarming environmental crisis demands that Islamic educational institutions cultivate students' ecological awareness through an ecotheological approach. MTsN 3 Malang has developed the implementation of ecotheology within the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Curriculum through the Hubbul Bi'ah (love of the environment) approach as part of strengthening Islamic values. This study aims to describe and analyze the planning, implementation, and outcomes of ecotheology implementation in the PAI curriculum at the madrasah. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with validity tested through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results show that ecotheological planning has been integrated since the preparation of the Madrasah Operational Curriculum (KOM) through the concept of rahmatan lil 'alamin, the Hubbul Bi'ah dimension of the Love-Based Curriculum (KBC), and the Sustainable Living theme in P5RA, which PAI teachers subsequently translate into the mapping of teaching materials and Learning Implementation Plans (RPP). Implementation takes place through intracurricular learning in Akidah Akhlak, co-curricular P5RA activities on the theme of Sustainable Living with the sub-theme of waste management, and habituation and role-modeling programs such as Clean Friday and the Healthy Madrasah Movement. The results of implementation are reflected in changes in students' understanding and behavior, including habits of caring for plants, maintaining cleanliness, and sorting waste, which are also carried into the home environment, although the sustainability of habituation still faces constraints related to limited assessment time and large student numbers. This study concludes that the implementation of ecotheology in the PAI curriculum at MTsN 3 Malang takes place as one integrated curriculum cycle, from planning and implementation to outcome evaluation, guided by the Hubbul Bi'ah approach rooted in the madrasah's institutional wisdom.

The method improved students' discipline, learning order, responsibility, and memorization control. The improvement appeared in fluency, tajwid accuracy, memorization stability, and consistency of murajaah. Supporting factors included fixed schedules, teacher guidance, class grouping, daily targets, additional murajaah, and peer learning. Inhibiting factors included limited time, fatigue, different memorization abilities, boredom, and weak independent murajaah. The study concludes that the classical method is effective when collective learning is combined with individual evaluation and continuous murajaah.

INTERNALISASI NILAI PENDIDIKAN MULTIKULTURAL DALAM FILM ANIMASI UPIN DAN IPIN: RAMADHAN RAYA DAN RELEVANSINYA DENGAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM
Indonesian pluralistic society demands early instillation of multicultural educational values to build tolerance. Popular media, particularly animated films for children, serve as crucial hidden curricula. This study examines the animated series Upin and Ipin, focusing on the Ramadhan Raya episode, which features religious narratives and diverse social interactions. The research explores the representation of multicultural value internalization, the convergence and divergence between these values and core Islamic Religious Education principles, and its relevance as an inclusive learning resource. Utilizing a qualitative approach with audiovisual content analysis, primary data was collected through active viewing, time logging, and screenshotting, supported by secondary literature. Data analysis followed the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that multicultural value internalization occurs continuously through moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. The comparative analysis identifies a convergence between multiculturalism and education in social domains manifesting as active tolerance, social justice, and collaboration. Conversely, a strict divergence exists in ritual domains strictly maintaining worship exclusivity against syncretism. Ultimately, this animation provides highly relevant material for contextual instruction, effectively concretizing abstract theological concepts and preventing religious superiority attitudes since their early childhood.

BUDAYA PESANTREN DAN TUUDHAN FEODALISME: ANALISIS PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM TERHADAP RELASI KYAI DAN SANTRI DI PONDOK PESANTREN PENDIDIKAN PERGURUAN AGAMA ISLAM DARUN NAJAH SALAF MALANG
This study aims to examine the form and meaning of the relationship between kyai and santri at the PPAI Darun Najah Salaf Islamic Boarding School in Malang to test the validity of the "feudalism" accusations often addressed by the public. This research employs a qualitative approach with phenomenological and symbolic interaction designs. Data were collected through deep interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The results indicate that the relationship built in this pesantren does not reflect an oppressive or purely hierarchical feudal pattern. On the contrary, the relationship is based on a strong spiritual-paternalistic bond, where the kiai positions himself as a second parent who guides santri with love (welas asih). The obedient, respectful attitude (ta'dzim), and devotion (khidmah) shown by santri are born consciously and voluntarily as part of Islamic knowledge manners (adab) to obtain blessings (barokah), not because of structural coercion or fear. Facing the modern era, this pesantren successfully maintains a dynamic balance between the preservation of traditional Islamic classic values and egalitarian principles through proportional differentiation of ethical space and structured participatory mechanisms. This study contributes theoretically to confirming that the respect tradition in pesantren is an embodiment of Islamic epistemic manners, as well as an antithesis to the political system of authoritarian feudalism.

INTERNALISASI METODE UMMI PADA PEMBELAJARAN TURJUMAN AL-QUR’AN DI KELAS VII SMP MUSLIM CENDEKIA KOTA BATU
Qur’anic learning aims not only to improve students’ recitation skills but also to foster their understanding of the meanings of the Qur’an and the application of its values in daily life. The Turjuman Al-Qur’an program, developed through the Ummi Method, represents an instructional innovation that integrates students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral development. This study aimed to describe the process of internalizing the Ummi Method in Turjuman Al-Qur’an learning and to examine its outcomes among seventh-grade students at SMP Muslim Cendekia Batu during the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a qualitative field research approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which consisted of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the internalization of the Ummi Method was implemented through the stages of value transformation, value transaction, and transinternalization, supported by the application of the direct method, repetition, and affection. This process enhanced students’ understanding of the meanings of the Qur’an (knowing), their ability to apply Qur’anic values in everyday life (doing), and the development of religious character, discipline, responsibility, politeness, and social awareness (being). These findings indicate that the Ummi Method in Turjuman Al-Qur’an learning is effective not only in improving students’ understanding of the Qur’an but also in strengthening character education through the internalization of Qur’anic values, thereby contributing to the advancement of value-based Islamic education.
PENGARUH MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS POWERPOINT TERHADAP MINAT BELAJAR SISWA
This study examines the effect of PowerPoint-based instructional media on students' interest in learning Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam/PAI) among eighth-grade students at SMPQ Ar-Roudloh Singosari. The study was prompted by the fact that many students still experience boredom in PAI lessons delivered through monotonous, lecture-based teaching, a problem made worse by the constant distraction of digital entertainment, even though prior studies suggest that well-designed PowerPoint media can make learning more engaging and easier to understand. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students at SMPQ Ar-Roudloh Singosari, and a sample of 60 students was selected through purposive sampling: class VIII A (30 students) as the experimental group, taught using PowerPoint-based media, and class VIII B (30 students) as the control group, taught with conventional methods. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert-scale learning-interest questionnaire that had passed validity and reliability testing, and were analyzed through normality tests, a homogeneity test, and an Independent Sample t-Test using SPSS version 25. The results show that after treatment, 47% of students in the experimental group scored in the high-interest category and 53% scored in the very-high category. The Independent Sample t-Test produced a t-value of -11.587 with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), so the alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis rejected. These findings indicate that PowerPoint-based instructional media has a significant effect on improving students' interest in learning PAI.
