Evaluation of Digital-based Al-Qur'an Tahfizh Learning in Boarding School
Abstract Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as traditional Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia face challenges in integrating digital technology into their learning processes. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital learning evaluation in the Qur'anic tahfizh program at Insan Mulia Islamic Boarding School (IMBOS) in Pringsewu, Lampung, and assess its impact on educational quality. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation involving 52 tahfizh teachers (muhafizh/muhafizhah) overseeing 104 study groups (halaqah). Findings reveal that IMBOS has adopted two digital evaluation platforms: (1) a web-based system integrated with a mobile application for attendance monitoring, and (2) a spreadsheet application for assessing memorization progress. Data analysis indicates three key benefits of this technological implementation: enhanced evaluation efficiency through real-time monitoring, improved assessment accuracy via data visualization, and early detection of learning difficulties. These findings reinforce the critical role of digital transformation in improving the effectiveness of tahfizh education while providing a practical model for other Islamic boarding schools to adopt educational technology. Abstrak Pesantren sebagai institusi pendidikan Islam tradisional di Indonesia menghadapi tantangan untuk mengintegrasikan teknologi digital dalam proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi evaluasi pembelajaran digital dalam program tahfizh Al-Qur'an di Pondok Pesantren Insan Mulia (IMBOS) Pringsewu, Lampung, serta mengukur dampaknya terhadap kualitas pendidikan. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipatif terhadap 52 guru tahfizh (muhafizh/muhafizhah) yang membina 104 kelompok belajar (halaqah). Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa IMBOS mengadopsi dua platform evaluasi digital: (1) sistem web terintegrasi aplikasi mobile untuk monitoring kehadiran, dan (2) aplikasi spreadsheet untuk penilaian pencapaian hafalan. Analisis data menunjukkan bahwa implementasi teknologi ini menghasilkan tiga manfaat utama: peningkatan efisiensi proses evaluasi (real-time monitoring), akurasi penilaian yang lebih baik melalui visualisasi data, serta kemampuan deteksi dini kesulitan belajar. Temuan ini memperkuat argumentasi tentang peran kritis transformasi digital dalam meningkatkan efektivitas pendidikan tahfizh, sekaligus menawarkan model praktis bagi pesantren lain dalam mengadopsi teknologi pendidikan.

Community-based education: The #lesswaste habit formation by the YukNgaji Club as an Environmental Conservation Effort
Abstract This study explores the YukNgaji community’s #LessWaste campaign as a community-driven Islamic ecotheology model. Amid environmental crises requiring sustainable action, the initiative bridges Islamic stewardship (khalifah) and responsibility (amanah) with ecological awareness. Using qualitative methods—virtual ethnography, community-based education theory, and Living Qur’an-Hadith analysis—data were gathered via observations, interviews, and digital content assessment. Results indicate #LessWaste effectively integrates Islamic ecological values through digital activism and offline practices (e.g., waste donation, reusable items). The campaign functions as both an environmental movement and adaptive educational platform, engaging Muslim youth with modern challenges. It highlights hybrid activism’s role in Islamic education, suggesting applicability across diverse Muslim communities. Future studies should test similar frameworks in varied socio-cultural contexts to evaluate sustained behavioral change. Abstrak Penelitian ini mengkaji kampanye #LessWaste komunitas YukNgaji sebagai model ekoteologi Islam berbasis komunitas. Menghadapi krisis lingkungan yang mendesak kebutuhan aksi berkelanjutan, inisiatif ini menghubungkan prinsip stewardship (khalifah) dan tanggung jawab (amanah) dalam Islam dengan kesadaran ekologis. Dengan metode kualitatif—meliputi etnografi virtual, teori pendidikan berbasis komunitas, dan analisis Living Qur’an-Hadith—data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipan, wawancara dengan anggota kunci, dan analisis konten digital. Hasil menunjukkan #LessWaste berhasil mengintegrasikan nilai ekologis Islam melalui aktivisme digital dan praktik offline seperti donasi sampah serta penggunaan barang reusable. Kampanye ini berfungsi ganda sebagai gerakan lingkungan dan platform pendidikan adaptif yang melibatkan generasi muda Muslim dengan isu kontemporer. Temuan menggarisbawahi peran aktivisme hibrid dalam pendidikan Islam serta potensi replikasinya di komunitas Muslim beragam. Studi lanjutan disarankan untuk menguji model serupa dalam konteks sosiokultural berbeda guna menilai dampak jangka panjang pada perubahan perilaku berkelanjutan. How to Cite: Alanazi, M. S.

Assessing Gaps between Perception and Implementation of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Islamic Higher Education
Abstract High-order thinking skills (HOTS) is one of the key competencies in 21st-century education that requires students to be able to think critically, creatively, and solve complex problems. This study aims to assess lecturers' understanding, perceptions, and practices in implementing HOTS-based learning and evaluation in private Islamic higher education institutions (PTKIS) in the KOPERTAIS region I (DKI Jakarta and Banten). This study employed qualitative method with a case study approach. This research utilized two data collection techniques, namely open-ended questionnaires based on Google Forms and document analysis obtained through Semester Learning Plans (RPS) and learning outcome evaluation instruments. The participants in this study were 13 lecturers from PTKIS in the Kopertais region I that were garnered through snowball sampling. The findings of this study uncovered three main areas: lecturers’ understanding of HOTS concepts, implementation of HOTS in teaching, and the relevance of evaluation instruments to HOTS. Based on these three categories, the findings suggest that some lecturers have a good understanding of HOTS concepts, but there are also some who are unable to effectively apply these concepts in teaching and developing HOTS-based evaluation instruments. This study also signifies the importance of aligning the understanding, implementation, and the development of HOTS-based instruments to create high-quality learning. Abstrak Keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi (Higher Order Thinking Skills/HOTS) merupakan salah satu kompetensi kunci dalam pendidikan abad ke-21 yang menuntut peserta didik untuk mampu berpikir kritis, kreatif, dan memecahkan masalah kompleks. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai pemahaman, persepsi, dan praktik dosen dalam mengimplementasikan pembelajaran dan evaluasi berbasis HOTS di Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Swasta (PTKIS) wilayah KOPERTAIS I (DKI Jakarta dan Banten). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan meliputi kuesioner terbuka berbasis Google Forms dan analisis dokumen yang diperoleh dari Rencana Pembelajaran Semester (RPS) serta instrumen evaluasi hasil belajar. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah 13 dosen PTKIS di wilayah Kopertais I yang dipilih melalui teknik snowball sampling. Temuan penelitian ini mengungkapkan tiga fokus utama: pemahaman dosen terhadap konsep HOTS, implementasi HOTS dalam pengajaran, dan relevansi instrumen evaluasi terhadap HOTS. Berdasarkan ketiga kategori tersebut, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian dosen memiliki pemahaman yang baik tentang konsep HOTS, namun masih ada yang belum mampu menerapkan konsep tersebut secara efektif dalam pengajaran maupun pengembangan instrumen evaluasi berbasis HOTS.

Learning Innovation in Islamic Boarding Schools in East Java: Technology’s Role in Enhancing Teaching Effectiveness
Abstract Despite the increasing adoption of technology in education, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) remain underexplored in terms of sustainable digital integration aligned with Islamic values. This study offers a comprehensive exploration of technology-based learning innovations within pesantren, examining how these innovations enhance pedagogical effectiveness while integrating principles of Islamic education management. Conducted as an in-depth qualitative case study across three pesantren in East Java, data were gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation analysis. The study identified three core innovations: the use of digital learning media, the implementation of e-learning platforms, and the integration of mobile applications. These approaches have positively impacted student motivation, learning flexibility, and teacher-student engagement. However, challenges such as limited infrastructure and inadequate digital literacy among educators persist. Findings underscore the need for systematic teacher training, infrastructure investment, and culturally relevant digital leadership to ensure sustainable transformation. The study contributes to both academic discourse and practical policy development by offering context-specific recommendations for integrating technology in pesantren education without compromising core Islamic values. Abstrak Meskipun adopsi teknologi dalam pendidikan semakin meningkat, pondok pesantren masih relatif kurang dieksplorasi terkait integrasi digital yang berkelanjutan dan selaras dengan nilai-nilai Islam. Studi ini menawarkan eksplorasi komprehensif tentang inovasi pembelajaran berbasis teknologi di lingkungan pesantren, dengan menelaah bagaimana inovasi-inovasi tersebut meningkatkan efektivitas pedagogis sekaligus mengintegrasikan prinsip-prinsip manajemen pendidikan Islam. Penelitian ini dilakukan sebagai studi kasus kualitatif mendalam pada tiga pesantren di Jawa Timur, dengan data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi kelas, dan analisis dokumentasi. Studi ini mengidentifikasi tiga inovasi utama: penggunaan media pembelajaran digital, implementasi platform e-learning, dan integrasi aplikasi berbasis mobile. Pendekatan-pendekatan ini berdampak positif terhadap motivasi peserta didik, fleksibilitas belajar, serta interaksi guru dan siswa. Namun demikian, tantangan seperti keterbatasan infrastruktur dan literasi digital pendidik yang belum memadai masih menjadi hambatan. Temuan penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya pelatihan guru yang sistematis, investasi infrastruktur, dan kepemimpinan digital yang relevan secara kultural untuk memastikan transformasi yang berkelanjutan. Studi ini memberikan kontribusi pada wacana akademik maupun pengembangan kebijakan praktis melalui rekomendasi kontekstual terkait integrasi teknologi dalam pendidikan pesantren tanpa mengorbankan nilai-nilai Islam yang esensial.

The Concept of the Perfect Human (al-Insan al-Kamil) in Islamic Education According to al-Ghazali and Its Implementation in Indonesian Islamic Higher Education
Abstract Human perfection is intrinsically linked to virtues (al-fadhā’il), namely wisdom (al-hikmah), courage (al-syaja‘ah), temperance (al-‘iffah), and justice (al-‘adalah). Through these virtues, individuals attain true happiness, which al-Ghazali in Ma‘arij al-Quds describes as beholding God in the hereafter or attaining divine knowledge (ma‘rifat al-Bāri). This study has three main objectives: first, to explain the concept of the Perfect Human (al-insan al-kamil); second, to analyze al-Ghazali’s perspective on this concept within Islamic education; and third, to examine its implementation at STIT Insan Kamil, Bogor City. The research employs qualitative methods in a descriptive, analytical, implementative, and evaluative approach, drawing on interviews with students, lecturers, and staff, supported by institutional data. For al-Ghazali, the Perfect Human is one who balances morality, intellect, and righteous deeds, achieving harmony in relationships with God, fellow human beings, and the universe. Education should therefore go beyond worldly ambitions and guide individuals toward closeness to God. At STIT Insan Kamil, this concept is applied, although Qur’an memorization targets remain less optimal and require continuous improvement. Abstrak Kesempurnaan manusia erat kaitannya dengan kebajikan (al-fadhā’il), yaitu kebijaksanaan (al-hikmah), keberanian (al-syaja‘ah), kesederhanaan (al-‘iffah), dan keadilan (al-‘adalah). Melalui kebajikan tersebut manusia mencapai kebahagiaan sejati, yang oleh al-Ghazali dalam Ma‘arij al-Quds digambarkan sebagai memandang Allah di akhirat atau mengenal-Nya (ma‘rifat al-Bāri). Penelitian ini memiliki tiga tujuan utama, yaitu menjelaskan konsep insan kamil (al-Insan al-Kamil), menganalisis pandangan al-Ghazali tentang konsep ini dalam pendidikan Islam, serta mengkaji implementasinya di STIT Insan Kamil Kota Bogor. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif, analitis, implementatif, dan evaluatif melalui wawancara dengan mahasiswa, dosen, dan tenaga kependidikan, serta ditunjang oleh telaah data kelembagaan. Bagi al-Ghazali, insan kamil adalah manusia yang mampu menjaga keseimbangan antara akhlak, intelektualitas, dan amal saleh sehingga tercapai keharmonisan hubungan dengan Allah, dengan sesama manusia, dan dengan alam semesta. Pendidikan karena itu tidak hanya berorientasi pada status duniawi atau kekayaan, tetapi bertujuan mendekatkan individu kepada Allah. Di STIT Insan Kamil, konsep ini diterapkan meskipun target hafalan al-Qur’an masih belum optimal dan terus ditingkatkan. How to Cite: Iskandar S., Saepudin, D., Husaini, A., & Syafrin, N. (2025).
