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.

(2025) Agus Sulthoni Imami; Zaenol Fajri; Siti Ainun Rhomadona
Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify and analyze the use of operant conditioning to improve student discipline. It is based on Islamic religious education and aims to investigate how teachers or homeroom teachers use operant conditioning in student interactions and how it affects discipline and character development. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study research design, which seeks to comprehend the case's dynamics and context while generating a more in-depth understanding of the phenomenon under investigation—specifically, the use of operant conditioning by teachers to students at elementary school Purnama 1. Main Findings: In this study, the form, procedure, and outcomes of using operant conditioning in schools, which is extremely important in establishing student discipline, will be revealed. When teachers or homeroom teachers consistently give rewards and punishments, children are likelier to be disciplined, which benefits the classroom learning process. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study highlights the integration of operant conditioning within the context of Islamic religious education, emphasizing the teacher's dual role as a mentor and moral role model. It explores how this approach not only influences student discipline but also contributes to the moral and behavioral development of students, potentially improving both the quality of teaching and the formation of a better generation

(2025) Zaenol Fajri; Alviantika Alviantika
Purpose of the study: Learning motivation is crucial to the process's effectiveness, particularly regarding Fiqh, a subject that requires a thorough comprehension of Islamic ideas. However, the lack of active engagement and attention to learning in class VI at Elementary Madrasahs actually indicates low learning desire among the pupils. Using the Talking Stick approach, this study seeks to increase students' motivation to learn the topic of Fiqh. Methodology: The planning, execution, observation, and reflection phases make up each of the two cycles of this Classroom Action Research (CAR) project. Fifteen seventh-grade students from Elementary Madrasahs were the study's subjects. Main Findings: The study's findings demonstrated that using the Talking Stick technique can increase students' learning enthusiasm. The average percentage of students' learning motivation in cycle I was 81.71% (good category); in cycle II, it rose to 92.65% (outstanding category). Meanwhile, the learning outcomes increased as expected, averaging 81.80 in cycle I and 86,20 in cycle 2. According to the study's findings, using the Talking Stick method can effectively increase students' motivation to learn Fiqh. Novelty/Originality of this study: According to the study, educators can use this technique as a substitute for engaging and interactive instruction while continuing to create new active learning strategies to raise the standard of instruction in the classroom.
Investigating Islamic Religious Education Learning Through Technology-Based Interactive Quizzes: Study of Grade 6 Students' Experiences at SDN Rondokuning
(2025) Zaenol Fajri; Safitri Oktavia
Purpose of the study: This study looks at how students' motivation, engagement, and comprehension of religious concepts are affected when technology-based interactive tests are used. The study analysed the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning experiences of sixth-grade pupils using interactive Wordwall-based tests as a cutting-edge teaching method. The problem of low student engagement and excitement for PAI learning was addressed with this strategy. Methodology: The study, which was carried out at SDN Rondokuning, Probolinggo, used an exploratory qualitative design. Data were gathered through direct classroom observations, in-depth interviews with educators and learners, and recording educational activities and test results. Thematic analysis was employed to find essential trends in the students' experiences. Triangulation procedures were used to guarantee the data's validity and reliability. Main Findings: The findings demonstrated that interactive tests considerably raised student interest, comprehension of religious content, and involvement. Average quiz scores rose by 15%, learner satisfaction improved, and participation rates rose from 60% to 90%. Students also showed improved social interaction, teamwork, and the incorporation of Islamic principles into their everyday lives. Effective school management can reduce technical limitations like erratic internet connectivity. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is distinctive because it used an exploratory qualitative methodology to examine Islamic Religious Education (PAI) instruction at the elementary school level, accounting for cognitive development and emotional, social, and spiritual factors.
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.
The Religious Habits Program's Implementation as an Attempt to Mould Students' Islamic Character
(2025) Zaenol Fajri; Samsul Hadi
Purpose of the study: Developing students' Islamic character is one of the primary objectives of religious-based education, yet religious habituation programs frequently struggle with implementation and consistency. This study examines the implementation of the religious habituation program at Nurul Hikmah Islamic Junior High School and its function in fostering students' Islamic character. Methodology: The principal, homeroom teachers, Islamic education teachers, and a few chosen students served as informants in this descriptive qualitative study. Miles and Huberman's interactive approach, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, was used to examine the data gathered through documentation, in-depth interviews, and observation. Triangulation of sources and methods was used to guarantee the veracity of the data. Main Findings: The results demonstrate that organised practices, such as communal Dhuha prayer, Qur'anic recitation, group prayers, and disciplinary training, are used to practice religious habituation. These activities effectively uphold religious principles and aid in developing students' character. Limited facilities, the' lack of discipline among confident pupils, and differing parental support are among the difficulties. The school's institutional dedication, an intense religious atmosphere, and faculty involvement are all supporting aspects. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study concludes that Islamic character is effectively shaped by religious habituation. It is innovative in that it maps the characteristics that facilitate and hinder the boarding school setting and provides a contextual approach to enhancing religious culture in Islamic secondary schools.
Using Religious Character Education to Help Students Develop Exceptional and Moral Character
(2025) Zaenol Fajri; Luluk Kamilah
Purpose of the study: This study's backdrop stems from the growing emphasis on religious character in recent years. This study aims to explain how Islamic character education is used at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Nurul Jadid to help students develop outstanding and honest characters. Methodology: Interviews, observations, and documentation were used to gather data for a case study approach using a qualitative method. Main Findings: The study's findings show that incorporating Islamic values into the curriculum, establishing religious practices like congregational prayer, tadarus Al-Qur'an, and daily prayers, and having teachers set an example regarding their attitudes and behavior are all ways to implement religious character education. A structured educational system, teacher collaboration, a positive school climate, and sufficient infrastructure support this implementation's success. In the meantime, challenges include a lack of parental support, scheduling constraints, and various student backgrounds. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study concludes that while religious character education helps students develop high, disciplined, and responsible morals, it still needs close collaboration between families and schools to produce the best results.
