Efforts to Increase Students' Understanding of Islamic Teachings Through Extracurricular Tahfidz Activities in Schools Based on Islamic Boarding Schools
(2025) Niken Septantiningtyas; Zaenol Fajri; Saadatud Daraini
Purpose of the study: Islamic religious teachings have long been thoroughly studied in Islamic boarding schools. Nevertheless, issues that arise as the times change lead to less than ideal-Islamic religious instruction in Islamic boarding schools. One of the issues is boring instruction, namely the lecture style that is constantly used, which makes pupils disinterested and less able to comprehend Islamic religious doctrine. Innovation in Islamic religious education must continuously be enhanced because many students are drowsy during class, particularly in Islamic boarding schools. Other educational institutions also assist in teaching Islam. Methodology: This study seeks to increase students' understanding of Islamic religious doctrines through extracurricular activities in Islamic boarding schools. Because this study examines a single case and gathers data via observations, interviews, and document analysis, it employs a descriptive qualitative technique with a case study design. Main Findings: The study's findings demonstrate that Islamic boarding schools can use extracurricular activities to teach Islam. Following the completion of learning activities, student learning outcome reports show the study's results when it is implemented methodically and taught in a way that meets the needs of the students. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study concludes that extracurricular activities at Islamic boarding schools are a good way to increase students' understanding of Islamic beliefs. The novelty of this approach and the focus of this study enrich the literature on Islamic education and inspire educational policymakers to design religious programs that have a real impact.
The Impact of the Question and Answer Method on Students' Comprehension of the Akidah Akhlak Lessons at MI Miftahul Ulum
(2025) Niken Septantiningtyas; Zulfa Umi Zakiyah; Zaenol Fajri
Purpose of the study: This study aims to compare how well the lecture approach and question and answer format improve student understanding. Methodology: This study uses a quasi-experimental design and a quantitative methodology. Thirty students make up the sample, which is split into two groups: 15 students in the experimental group, which employs the question-and-answer format, and 15 students in the control group, which operates the lecture format. Pretests and posttests were used to gather data, and paired and independent t-tests were used for analysis. Main Findings: The statistical analysis is validated by the findings of the homogeneity test, which indicate that the variance of the two groups is equal (p = 0.17). According to the results, students' comprehension is improved more by the question-and-answer format than by the lecture format. With a statistically significant difference (p = 2.1 × 10⁻⁶), the experimental group's posttest score (86.53) was higher than the control group's (68.8). Constructivist philosophy, which emphasises the value of interaction in creating knowledge, is consistent with these findings. Novelty/Originality of this study: According to the study, using a question-and-answer format greatly improves pupil comprehension. According to the practical implications, teachers should implement this approach to boost student involvement in Akidah Akhlak learning. Future studies can examine integrating the question-and-answer method with other instructional techniques for the best results.
