Using a quasi-experimental design and quantitative approach, 40 students were divided into experimental and control groups. Data was collected through tests measuring Tajweed comprehension as well as observations of students' active participation and engagement. The results of the analysis showed that the strategy significantly improved student learning outcomes, with a mean difference of 1,800 points and a p-value of 0.001, supporting the effectiveness of the method. In addition to improving understanding of the material, the strategy also encourages active participation, collaboration, as well as the development of soft skills such as self- confidence and leadership. The findings confirm that innovation in participatory and interactive learning methods can overcome the challenges of traditional learning, particularly in religious education, and create a more engaging and meaningful learning atmosphere. The results recommend the application of this method to improve the quality of learning in religious and general education institutions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Lutfina aribah, Ainun Amalia, Saiful Anwar Copyright (c) 2025 Lutfina aribah Lutfina aribah, Ainun Amalia, Saiful Anwar https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14466 Sun, 17 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800 Analisis Program Subuh Berkah untuk Membentuk Karakter Religius Mahasiswa Universitas Merdeka Malang https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14565 <p>The phenomenon of moral degradation is increasingly prevalent among university students. This is evident in the rise of promiscuity, alcohol parties, illicit sexual behavior, and a general lack of tolerance both within and across religious boundaries. Universitas Merdeka Malang stands out as one of the few, if not the only, higher education institutions that is actively and systematically striving to foster students’ religious character through the <em>Subuh Berkah</em> (Blessed Dawn) Program.</p> <p>This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the <em>Subuh Berkah</em> Program in developing the religious character of students at Universitas Merdeka Malang. The research employed a qualitative approach. Data were collected through participant observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used was descriptive analysis, consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The validity of the data was ensured through triangulation.</p> <p>The findings of the study reveal: (1) The <em>Subuh Berkah</em> Program has succeeded in shaping students’ religious character, particularly in the aspects of piety, sincerity, tolerance, non-violence, and discipline. Although the outcomes have not yet fully aligned with the religious character indicators outlined by the Ministry of National Education, the program is considered effective in fostering tolerant attitudes among students. (2) The implementation of the <em>Subuh Berkah</em> Program involves habitual practices such as congregational dawn prayers, collective remembrance (dzikir), religious study sessions (<em>kajian subuh</em>), group <em>isyraq</em> prayers, <em>istighosah</em> (supplicatory prayers), and communal breakfast. The program has received positive responses and strong support, especially from students’ parents. It has contributed to a more comprehensive understanding of Islam among students and has helped optimize the teaching and learning of Islamic Religious Education.</p> Moch.

The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of adolescents, parents, and PAI teachers. The study was conducted in Pegandan Village, Margorejo District, Pati Regency, on April 8–30, 2025. Pati Regency was chosen because it is one of the areas with the highest divorce rates in Central Java. The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively to describe the dynamics of post-divorce parenting patterns and the influence of parent-teacher collaboration on the success of adolescent religious education. The results of the study show that the success of adolescent Islamic Religious Education is not only influenced by parental parenting patterns, but also by the level of effective collaboration between parents and PAI teachers. Collaboration that is established in the form of intensive communication, agreement in instilling religious values, and emotional and academic support has been shown to strengthen the achievement of adolescent Islamic Religious Education, even in separated family conditions. This finding confirms the importance of synergy between the family and school environments in fostering adolescent spiritual resilience amidst the challenges of the Society 5.0 era.</p> Indah Ayu Mayasari, Muhammad Miftah Copyright (c) 2025 Indah Ayu Mayasari, Miftah https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14634 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800 Pendekatan Penilaian Autentik dalam Evaluasi Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14679 <p>Assessment plays an important role in evaluating student learning progress. The change in the learning paradigm in the Merdeka Curriculum encourages the implementation of assessments that are not only oriented to the final results, but also to the process and character of students. In the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI), authentic assessment offers a more comprehensive method for assessing students' ability to apply religious teachings in real-life situations. The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of the authentic assessment approach on the effectiveness of Islamic Education learning, especially in assessing aspects of students' spiritual and social attitudes, and conceptual understanding comprehensively. This research uses the library research method, to obtain a theoretical basis and draw relevant conclusions, so as to facilitate the completion of this research by referring to related sources. The results showed that authentic assessment promotes active learning and allows for a more thorough evaluation of students' abilities. The study also found that this approach improved students' understanding and application of Islamic values in their daily lives, while encouraging positive changes in their spiritual and social competencies. In conclusion, the authentic assessment approach is able to provide a more holistic and relevant evaluation picture in PAI learning and support the achievement of educational goals as a whole.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> sal shakhiba albira nanda hanafi, Andis Suha Fadhila, Abdul Bashith Copyright (c) 2025 sal shakhiba albira nanda hanafi sal shakhiba albira nanda hanafi https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14679 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800 Afirmasi Positif Guru Dalam Meningkatkan Kecintaan Siswa Terhadap Al-Qur’an Pada Mata Pelajaran Tadabbur Ayat Di SMP Binar Sumenep https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14720 <p>The low enthusiasm of students in learning the Qur'an, especially in the subject of Tadabbur Ayat, is an important background in this study.

With this approach, students are given space to develop their potential optimally. Thus, the role of teachers becomes increasingly crucial in adjusting learning strategies to meet the needs of each individual&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;class. When conducting research observations, data is obtained in the form of a phenomenon showing that students there have different learning comprehension abilities. For that reason, teachers in that context, especially Islamic Religious Education teachers, innovate in learning by implementing differentiation strategies in Islamic Religious Education subjects. It is hoped that the learning process can provide experiences that align with the individual needs of each student, enabling them to develop their potential&nbsp;optimally. This study aims to determine the implementation and results of differentiated instruction learning to overcome differences in student abilities in Islamic Religious Education at SMA Ma'arif NU Mambaul Ulum Pucuk. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the research data show that the implementation of this differentiated learning has a positive effect on students because they can learn based on their learning styles or preferences, and they create projects such as mind mapping or slide shows as a result of their learning. They also dare to present their work to build their confidence&nbsp;and&nbsp;skills.</p> Emilia Refianti, Siti Suwaibatul Aslamiyah , Nurul Azizah Copyright (c) 2025 emilia refianti, Siti Suwaibatul Aslamiyah https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14782 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800 Strategi Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Menanamkan Nilai-nilai Etika Islam pada Siswa Studi Kasus Pada SMP Al Wathoniyah 9 https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14860 <p>This study explores the strategies used by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers to instill Islamic ethical values in students at SMP Al Wathoniyah 9.

The value of Islamic education is the nature or things inherent in Islamic education that humans use to achieve the goal of human life, namely serving Allah. The Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad <em>shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam</em>, which includes everything related to the Prophet, whether his words, actions, decrees, characteristics, morals or history, is the source of these values. In this research, the values of Islamic education will be explained in the hadith la yuqimu ar-rajulu ar-rajula. The results of the research found that matters related to Islamic educational values are summarized in 3 educational values, namely i'tiqodiyyah values, khuluqiyyah values, and amaliyyah values. Meanwhile, there are 3 things related to learning material, namely 1) the right to a seat for those who occupy it for the first time, 2) making room for those who have just arrived, and 3) Islam as a very perfect and complete guide to life.</p> Maryono Maryono, Zaki Ulien Nuha Copyright (c) 2025 Maryono, Zaki Ulien Nuha https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14876 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800 Upaya Guru Tahfidz dalam Meningkatkan Hafalan Al-Qur’an Siswa di Pondok Pesantren Putri Al-Muslimun Magetan https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14910 <p>Islamic boarding schools remain a primary reference in Islamic education, as they are deeply rooted in cultural traditions and supported by a growing public awareness of the importance of religious learning. The increasing demand for Qur’anic memorization, especially in today’s dynamic and challenging social environment, has encouraged many Muslim parents to entrust their children’s education to formal institutions offering structured and intensive tahfidz al-Qur’an programs. These programs aim not only to produce students who can accurately memorize the Qur’an but also to nurture individuals who uphold Islamic values and possess commendable character. Al-Muslimun Islamic Boarding School for Girls in Magetan is one such institution, offering a pesantren-based tahfidz program targeting the memorization of all 30 juz of the Qur’an bil ghaib. This study aims to explore the optimization of tahfidz teachers’ efforts in enhancing students’ Qur’anic memorization, analyze the learning outcomes, and identify the key challenges encountered in the process. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, validated by source triangulation. The findings reveal that: (1) Teachers’ efforts include strengthening memorization targets, tasmi’ al-Qur’an, stage-based testing, as well as appreciation and rewards. (2) The results show achievement of memorization targets, fluency, and memorization quality. (3) Challenges include school branding, public trust, and national event participation.</p> <p> </p> Aisyah Istikomah; Nurul Iman; Azid Syukroni Copyright (c) 2025 Aisyah Istikomah, Azid Syukroni https://ejournal.unida.gontor.ac.id/index.php/educan/article/view/14910 Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0800
