Reimagining Qur’anic Pedagogy:Nadlariyah Maudu’iyah as a Methodological Innovation in Tafsir Tarbawi with Application to Child Education Themes
Abstract The surging scholarly interest in tafsīr mawḍūʿī (thematic exegesis) for educational (tarbawī) understanding of the Qur’an, particularly in Indonesia, currently lacks a robust methodological foundation. This study addresses this critical gap by introducing and critically establishing nadhariyyah mawḍūʿiyah (thematic theoretical framework) as a systematic hermeneutical approach tailored for educational interpretation. The research investigates its epistemological significance, proposes a definitive procedural model, and demonstrates its application to the Qur’anic theme of “Mauqifu al-Awlād wa Ṭarīqatu al-Ḥiwār Ma‘ahum” (The Qur’anic Stance Toward Children and the Method of Dialogue with Them). Employing a qualitative library-based methodology enriched by historical contextualization, Hegelian dialectics, and Popperian falsification, the study yields two primary findings. Firstly, nadhariyyah mawḍūʿiyah enables a holistic, context-sensitive interpretation that significantly enhances pedagogical relevance. Secondly, a five-stage procedural model is proposed: (i) theme identification, (ii) verse compilation, (iii) semantic validation, (iv) conceptual modeling, and (v) systematic synthesis. Applied to child education, the analysis uncovers the Qur’an’s dual portrayal of children as spiritual tests and opportunities for growth, advocating for a dialogic pedagogy grounded in affection, epistemic respect, and spiritual nurturing, which fosters moral development and emotional intimacy. This research establishes a novel methodological framework for Qur’anic hermeneutics and Islamic educational theory, offering significant implications for curriculum design, parenting discourse, and the overall rigor of tafsīr tarbawī scholarship. Keywords: Nadzariyyah Maudhu’iyah, Qur’anic hermeneutics, child education, Islamic pedagogy, dialogic parenting, Hegelian dialectics, Popperian falsification

Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Islamic Religious Education: Toward a Model for Ethical and Values-Based Technology Adoption in Faith-Based Schools
This study investigates the perceptions, challenges, and opportunities of integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA IT Mentari Ilmu Karawang, a faith-based secondary school. While grounded in this specific institutional context, the findings are framed to provide transferable insights for similar Islamic-oriented institutions, serving as both a localized case and a reference for broader models of ethical and values-based AI adoption. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with PAI teachers, the vice principal, and the school principal. The results indicate that AI is appreciated for supporting personalized, inclusive, and efficient learning, yet it cannot replace the teacher’s role in moral and spiritual formation. Challenges include ethical concerns, limited infrastructure, and the absence of Islamic contextualized regulations, while opportunities involve curriculum innovation, workload reduction, and adaptive instruction. Theoretically, this study advances the conceptualization of AI in values-based education within the discourse of Islamic Religious Education. Practically, it proposes a transferable framework for ethical and transformative AI adoption, guiding schools, teachers, and policymakers to align technology use with Islamic ethical principles. Future research directions include developing an Islamic AI curriculum, piloting an integrative AI Adab model, and conducting comparative studies across faith-based institutions to identify scalable best practices.

Islamic Education, Javanese Culture, and the Basic Needs of Migrant Workers' Children: A Critique of Abraham Maslow's Theory
This study aims to critique Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs theory, which continues to serve as a primary reference for assessing human needs from childhood through adulthood. Using a qualitative field research approach, data were collected through interviews and direct observations in the field. The study reveals that Maslow's hierarchy, which positions self-actualization at the peak of needs, requires adaptation to the Javanese cultural context, which influences the Islamic education of migrant workers' children in Seketip Village, Kediri, East Java. The ambiguity surrounding the adequacy of physiological needs, such as food and sleep, can lead to subjective interpretations that may foster egotism, thereby obscuring the objectives of Islamic education. Conversely, Javanese traditions and Islamic teachings provide clear moral guidelines for shaping wise individuals. The study concludes that Islamic education and Javanese culture can serve as supplementary parameters to Maslow's theory, addressing the shortcomings in measuring the satisfaction of unquantifiable needs. With morality as a concrete benchmark, this education can shape children’s character, enabling them to meet basic needs while also providing a strong foundation for life. This need is termed as Fundamental Preconditions, encompassing spiritual and visionary needs, and must be fulfilled from conception through to after birth.

Transformation Of The University Curriculum: An Evaluation Study Of The Islamic Religious Education Curriculum With The Provus Discrepancies Model
This study evaluates the curriculum of the Islamic Education (PAI) Program at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta using the Provus Discrepancy Model to identify gaps between curriculum design and implementation. The evaluation focuses on three components: needs analysis, curriculum design, and implementation. Data were collected through document analysis, observations, and in-depth interviews with stakeholders, and analyzed qualitatively. Findings reveal significant discrepancies. While the graduate profile includes prospective Islamic education teachers, researchers, and counselors, tracer studies show that 86% of graduates become teachers, with limited outcomes in the other roles. Curriculum revision is irregular and not aligned with the standard five-year cycle, leading to misalignment with job market demands. Excessive learning outcomes (CPLs) complicate assessment, and credit loads often exceed regulatory limits. In implementation, teaching remains predominantly teacher-centered, with limited use of Student-Centered Learning (SCL) and minimal emphasis on project-based or socio-emotional assessment. The study recommends regular, stakeholder-driven curriculum updates, reinforcement of research and counseling competencies, adoption of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), and greater integration of technology. A balanced application of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor assessments through SCL methods is essential to achieve a holistic graduate profile.

Strengthening Religious Character In Madrasah: Integrating Pesantren Values As An Educational Strategy
This study explores the strengthening of religious character in madrasah through the integration of pesantren value systems. This approach aims to help students understand, care about, and practice religious values in their daily lives. The study employs a qualitative method conducted in four Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah in Kudus. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed in depth. The findings indicate that understanding religious values can be reinforced through pesantren literacy, which is rich in religious values. The formation of religious character is carried out through religious traditions, role modeling, and the internalization of values, ultimately leading to moral action. These actions are classified into three aspects of spiritual strength: faith (iman), Islam, and excellence (ihsan). A strong religious character will naturally develop when a religious culture is established in the madrasah environment, making religious values an integral part of students' lives Keywords: Strengthening Religious Character, Pesantren Values, Madrasah, and Religious Culture

Enhancing Family Resilience for Religious Moderation: Preventing Radicalism through Digital Religious Literacy
This article discusses the importance of the family's role in preventing religious radicalism and promoting religious moderation through digital religious literacy. The research aims to explore the level of family digital literacy among Muslims in Cirebon and its role in strengthening family resilience as a key element in addressing potential radical challenges. Using a mixed-methods approach with questionnaire surveys and interviews, the study reveals that religious conflicts in Indonesia, particularly in Cirebon, stem from factors like low religious literacy among millennials, driven by a lack of interest in reading and a limited understanding of religious teachings. Technology and social media exacerbate these conflicts, involving violations of religious freedom, intolerance, and blasphemy, persisting despite regulations and threatening multicultural harmony. Family resilience, encompassing economic, psychosocial, and socio-cultural aspects, plays a crucial role in countering religious radicalism. As the smallest social institution, the family transmits values, with economic resilience preventing the infiltration of radical ideas. Empowering families as moderation agents is vital, and strategies for enhancing family digital literacy, including education and awareness campaigns, monitoring online activities, promoting quality information sources, developing critical thinking skills, and using content filters, contribute to building resilience against radical influences. The study's results are expected to enrich academic literature by applying the concept of family resilience, specifically in preventing radicalism and promoting religious moderation. The findings strive for a direct impact on practical efforts to prevent radicalism, contributing to the formation of an inclusive and moderate society.

This research is based on the reality that character education in Islamic education textbooks remains inadequate, even though character education is crucial in shaping students with noble character and the ability to face moral challenges in the modern era. Character, as part of affective competence, must be taught clearly and consistently, just as cognitive and psychomotor competencies, to achieve balance in forming a complete and ideal personality. This study was conducted on Islamic Education textbooks for 11th grade used in schools across Indonesia, published by the Ministry of Education, Erlangga, Grafindo, and Tiga Serangkai. Using a qualitative approach, these textbooks were analyzed through content analysis to identify the extent to which character education values are integrated into them. The results show that all textbooks used as subjects in this study have not fully integrated character education optimally. Character education must be implemented by considering appropriate objectives, materials, methods, media, and evaluation. Keywords: Character Education, Affective Domain, Learning Components.

Strengthening the Religious Moderation Literacy Model in the Implementation of the Independent Curriculum (IKM)
Strengthening religious moderation literacy is one of the important efforts in strengthening the spirit of diversity and tolerance in Indonesia. The ability to access, understand, and utilize information is an important foundation in a balanced moderation attitude. Along with strengthening religious moderation literacy in education units and the implementation of the independent curriculum, the synergy between the two is becoming increasingly important. Each educational unit has its own unique curriculum and characteristics. This research is carried out through a descriptive qualitative approach by tracing religious literacy and local wisdom in the community that has a part in strengthening religious moderation. In this case, the researcher will further examine religious moderation literacy in the independent learning curriculum at SMK ITSI Surakarta. In the context of 21st century learning, learning that applies religious moderation literacy continues to be developed to achieve the Pancasila student profile. Concrete actions to overcome obstacles in strengthening the religious literacy model in the implementation of the independent curriculum at SMK ITSI Surakarta include strengthening human resources, self-training/IHT, proposing fees to the Foundation, prohibiting students from bringing cellphones in schools/dormitories, and strengthening moderate and tolerant religious literacy. Keywords: Literacy, Moderation, Implementation of the Independent Curriculum (IKM)

Improving The Ability To Read Kitab Kuning Through The Manhaji Method At Darun Nuhat Islamic Boarding School, Petiyin, Solokuro, Lamongan
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the Manhaji Method in improving the ability to read Kitab Kuning (classical Islamic texts) at Darun Nuhat Islamic Boarding School, Petiyin-Solokuro, Lamongan. Kitab Kuning serves as the primary literature in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) but often poses challenges for students due to limited understanding of Nahwu (Arabic grammar) and Sharaf (morphology). The Manhaji Method, systematically designed, offers a practical approach to studying Kitab Kuning through structured, tiered learning from basic to advanced levels. This research employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, document studies, and reading ability tests. Data were collected from various sources such as pesantren leaders, teachers, and students through interviews and direct observation of the learning process. The study's results show that the implementation of the Manhaji Method significantly enhances students' understanding of Kitab Kuning, particularly in the aspects of Nahwu and Sharaf. Students demonstrated improved abilities in recognizing sentence structures, understanding word transformations, and applying grammatical rules effectively. This success is supported by competent teachers employing simple and systematic approaches, a well-structured, tiered curriculum from basic to advanced levels, and a conducive learning environment. The pesantren atmosphere, adequate facilities, and the collective enthusiasm of students created an optimal learning ecosystem. The efficiency of the Manhaji Method also increased students’ motivation through a structured and practical tiered learning process. This study recommends that the Manhaji Method be more widely adopted in other pesantren while considering local contexts. A broader application of this method is expected to support sustainable pesantren education, improve the quality of Kitab Kuning instruction, and strengthen the Islamic scholarly tradition in various educational institutions. Keywords: Manhaji Method; Kitab Kuning; Pesantren; Nahwu; Sharaf.

Gender, Age, and Teaching Experience Factors in Creative Teaching Practices Among Islamic Education Lecturers
This study aims to evaluate creative teaching practices among Islamic Education lecturers at Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon and analyze the differences and relationships between these practices and demographic variables such as gender, age, and teaching experience. This research employs a quantitative approach with a survey method, using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire distributed online to 75 lecturers selected through simple random sampling. The instrument used consists of 24 items with high reliability (α = 0,941). Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 28.0, including normality tests, descriptive analysis, and inferential analysis. The normality test results indicate that the data is normally distributed. Descriptive analysis shows that the lecturers' creative teaching practices are at a high level (mean = 3.99, SD = 0.471), with the item "Connecting issues with everyday life" having the highest average score (mean = 4.42, SD = 0.701). An independent t-test revealed no significant differences in creative teaching practices based on gender (t = -0.120, p = 0.905). Pearson correlation analysis also showed no significant relationship between gender, age, and teaching experience with creative teaching practices. These findings indicate that these demographic variables do not influence the level of creative teaching practices among Islamic Education lecturers. The implication is that creative teaching practices among Islamic education lecturers are consistently high, regardless of gender, age, or teaching experience, indicating the limited influence of these demographic factors. Keywords: Creative Teaching Practices, Islamic Education Lecturers, Descriptive Analysis, Inferential Analysis, Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon.

Dialectics Of Islam With Javanese And Sunda Wiwitan Culture (Phenomenological Study In The Jalawastu Traditional Community In Brebes Regency And Bonokeling In Banyumas Regency)
This study examines the dialectic between Islam and Kejawen and Sunda Wiwitan culture, which is reflected in the lives of the Jalawastu indigenous people in Brebes and Bonokeling in Banyumas. Using a phenomenological approach, this study seeks to understand how the interaction and integration of Islamic values with local traditions shape the cultural identity of the community. This study uses a phenomenological approach. The results of the study indicate that this dialectic process involves adaptation, acculturation, and negotiation of values that occur dynamically. In the context of Jalawastu and Bonokeling, Kejawen and Sunda Wiwitan cultures are not completely replaced by Islamic teachings, but instead form a complementary harmony. Traditional rituals, religious symbols, and social structures of society become the main spaces where Islam and local cultures interact with each other. This study emphasizes the importance of respecting cultural diversity in Islam and the role of religion as a medium of reconciliation that strengthens social cohesion in indigenous communities. This study also contributes to cross-cultural and religious understanding, which is relevant in the context of Indonesia as a multicultural country. Keywords: Islam, Kejawen, Sundanese Wiwitan, Jalawastu, Bonokeling, dialectics, phenomenology.
