Curriculum Reform and Value-Based Education: A Comparative Study of Social Studies and Islamic Studies Integration in Nigerian Schools
The growing moral, political, and social concerns confronting contemporary Nigerian society have fueled proposals for curriculum reform focused on value-based education. Although Social Studies and Islamic Studies are both intended to enhance ethical consciousness, citizenship, and moral responsibility, they are administered concurrently rather than in a coordinated manner. This study critically investigates the philosophical, pedagogical, and structural aspects of combining Social Studies and Islamic Studies in Nigerian schools to improve coherent value formation. The research uses a qualitative comparative design to analyze national curriculum papers, engage teachers and curriculum planners in semi-structured interviews, and observe classroom practices in chosen secondary schools. The study, based on curricular integration theory and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah-informed ethical frameworks, suggests that integration can increase moral internalization, civic involvement, and social cohesiveness while maintaining disciplinary integrity. The findings show strong overlaps in value targets, fragmented educational delivery, and institutional hurdles that prevent synergy. The study presents an integrative curriculum framework built on common value domains, collaborative pedagogy, and outcome-based evaluation. It concludes that systematic integration is a strategic avenue for developing holistic education and sustained national development in pluralistic societies.

Internalisasi Karakter Melalui Pembelajaran Baca Tulis Al-Qur’an: Metode dan Dampaknya terhadap Anak
The purpose of this study is to analyze various BTA learning methods and examine their impact on children's character development, particularly in aspects of reinforcing monotheism, ethics, and religious moderation. This study uses a qualitative approach through library research methods. Data were obtained from scientific books and reputable journals published between 2020 and 2026, then analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify conceptual patterns, pedagogical relevance, and characterological implications of the BTA methods studied. The research results show that the talaqqi method combined with the approach of understanding meaning (tadabbur) has proven effective in integrating the values of monotheism into children’s consciousness more deeply. This integration contributes to enhanced mental resilience, the development of inner peace (thuma’ninah), as well as fostering tolerant, inclusive attitudes that are oriented toward the values of religious moderation. BTA learning based on the internalization of meaning also strengthens the connection between cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects in the Islamic education process. The novelty of this research lies in the conceptual formulation that integrates Qur'an literacy with the reinforcement of mental health and the development of a moderate character as a unified pedagogical approach. The policy implications of these findings emphasize the need to reorient the BTA local content curriculum so that it not only focuses on technical reading fluency but also prioritizes the internalization of values, the development of good manners, as well as strengthening the psychosocial and spiritual dimensions of children within the framework of holistic Islamic education.

The Use of the Write It Arabic Application in Developing the Writing Skill of Beginner Arabic Leaners: A Descriptive Study
Effective mastery of Arabic script remains a fundamental challenge for non-native beginners, necessitating the evaluation of digital learning tools. This study aims to describe the Write It Arabic application and explain how it is used to develop writing skills for beginner learners of the Arabic language. The researcher employed a descriptive method by collecting information related to the application’s features, its method of presenting Arabic letters, and the training mechanisms provided to users. The findings indicate that the application offers an appropriate learning environment for beginners, as it presents the form and pronunciation of each letter, followed by a visual demonstration of the steps for writing it, before guiding learners to a practical training stage that relies on direct recognition of handwriting. The results also show that the program provides several useful features, including short lessons, immediate feedback, and the ability to repeat exercises, in addition to assessment tools that help evaluate learners’ proficiency levels. However, the study also identifies several limitations, such as the application’s focus on letters only without progressing to word-level writing, the presence of advertisements in certain versions, and the limited availability of free content. The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on the mechanical-kinesthetic features of handwriting recognition in Arabic MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning). The study concludes that the Write It Arabic application can serve as an effective tool to support the teaching and learning of basic writing skills, both in classroom settings and self-directed learning contexts, provided that further development is undertaken to include higher levels of writing skills.

Modeling Lamastum Parameter–Variable Systems Using Lagrange Deep Learning Methodologies for Education and Life Sciences
The significant progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly within Deep Learning paradigms, has enabled the exploration of new frameworks for representing language as symbolic and semantic systems. Contemporary AI is no longer confined to numerical computation but increasingly addresses the complexity of meaning embedded in linguistic structures..One of the main challenges in educational AI is how to model non-numerical parameters and variables—such as language, conceptual meaning, and ethical values—within mathematical systems that remain computationally optimizable. This study proposes modeling the word “Lamastum” as a system of semantic parameters and variables using a Lagrange Deep Learning approach. The Lagrange method is employed to link learning objective functions with constraints related to values, ethics, and life contexts through constrained optimization formulations . The Lagrangian approach enables simultaneous integration of learning objectives and humanistic. The results indicate that this approach can represent interactions among linguistic meaning, educational goals, and real-life contexts in a more structured and adaptive manner. The proposed model has the potential to serve as a new conceptual framework for the development of humanistic AI oriented toward sustainable education and character formation Originally developed for constrained mathematical optimization, the Lagrangian approach has been increasingly adopted in contemporary AI research to integrate human-centered constraints into machine learning systems.

Pesantren di Tengah Arus Modernisasi Pendidikan: Analisis Kritis terhadap Misi Pencetakan Ulama
This study aims to critically examine how educational modernization affects the sustainability of pesantren’s mission in producing ulama in contemporary Indonesia. Employing a qualitative analytical approach based on library research, the study analyzes educational policy documents, official statistical data from the past five years (2020–2024), and relevant previous studies. Data are examined through critical content analysis and policy discourse analysis to uncover underlying structural and ideological dynamics. The findings reveal that the modernization of pesantren education produces ambivalent consequences. On the one hand, modernization enhances institutional legitimacy, expands access to state funding, and improves graduates’ social mobility. On the other hand, the dominance of the national curriculum and vocational orientation tends to reduce the intensity of classical Islamic learning, thereby weakening pesantren’s traditional function as institutions for the systematic production of ulama grounded in scholarly transmission (sanad). Within this context, the study identifies the emergence of a new typology of “hybrid ulama,” reflecting a negotiated synthesis between pesantren’s classical scholarly tradition and contemporary competency demands. The novelty of this study lies in its application of a critical education policy perspective to reveal power relations among the state, pesantren, and the market in the post–Pesantren Law era. Practically, the findings underscore the need for more affirmative and flexible education policies that recognize the distinctive character of pesantren, ensuring that modernization strengthens rather than dilutes their foundational mission in producing Islamic scholars who remain relevant to contemporary challenges without losing their classical intellectual roots.

Dari Politik Simbolik ke Politik Substansial dalam Kebijakan Pendidikan Islam Kontemporer
Islamic education policies in Indonesia over the past two decades have increasingly employed Islamic symbols within regulations and educational programs; however, these symbolic representations are not always accompanied by substantive transformations in epistemological orientation, curriculum design, and educational outcomes. This condition highlights the urgency of examining the relationship between symbolic politics and substantive politics in contemporary Islamic education policy. This study aims to analyze the patterns of symbolic politics in Islamic education policies, assess the degree of policy substantiveness, and propose a transition model toward more substantive policy frameworks. Employing a qualitative approach, this research utilizes library research and document analysis of Islamic education policies issued between 2014 and 2026. The analysis integrates Murray Edelman’s theory of symbolic politics with the maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah framework. The findings reveal that Islamic education policies remain predominantly symbolic, emphasizing normative legitimacy and administrative compliance, while substantively transformative policies remain limited and unevenly implemented. This article contributes a novel integrative analytical framework combining symbolic politics and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, along with a substantive policy transformation model. The findings imply that Islamic education policymaking must shift toward substantively oriented strategies that prioritize educational quality, institutional governance, and measurable learning outcomes.

Waste-to-Energy Modeling via Digital Algorithms Based on Faith-Based Cleanliness and Educati
This research examines the integration of Islamic cleanliness principles into digital algorithm modeling as a conceptual foundation for ethical system design. In Islamic thought, cleanliness encompasses not only physical purity but also moral intention, cognitive clarity, and structural order, as articulated by Al-Ghazali. The objective of this study is to formulate a value-based digital algorithm framework grounded in these principles. The research employs a qualitative conceptual methodology through critical literature review of classical Islamic scholarship and contemporary digital modeling and algorithm studies published within the last decade. The results demonstrate that Islamic cleanliness principles can be systematically translated into algorithmic stages, including purified input selection, integrity-driven processing, and accountable output validation. The discussion indicates that this approach introduces an ethical and spiritual dimension absent from most conventional algorithmic models. The novelty of this study lies in its interdisciplinary synthesis of Islamic ethical philosophy and formal digital system modeling. The findings have important policy implications for ethical artificial intelligence, digital governance, and education systems, particularly in culturally and religiously contextualized environments. This research is significant as it provides an original conceptual contribution to the development of responsible and value-oriented digital transformation.

Konsep Etika Dalam Perspektif Ta’dib Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
The moral crisis and value disorientation plaguing modern education is one of the fundamental issues of the contemporary era. This study discusses the concept of ethics from the perspective of ta'dīb as formulated by Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas as the basic framework of Islamic education. This study uses a qualitative design. The approach used is descriptive-analytical and the method employed is library research, as all data were obtained from written sources, including al-Attas's original works and secondary studies discussing his ideas. Based on the research findings, the concept of ta'dīb is not merely an effort to impart knowledge but also a process of forming adab, which involves placing things in their proper places, culminating in the recognition and acknowledgment of divine truth. Ethics in ta'dīb is not separate from knowledge and morality but is an integral integration of all three. This study also examines Al-Attas' critique of the modern Western educational paradigm, which is deemed secular, dualistic, and incapable of addressing contemporary moral crises. Through a qualitative-philosophical approach and literature review, this paper asserts that ta'dīb serves as an ethical alternative in education deeply rooted in the Islamic worldview.

Ayat-Ayat Pendidikan Inklusif: Model Pendidikan PAI Ramah ABK Berdasarkan Perspektif Tematik Qur’ani
Education for Children with Special Needs (CSN) in Indonesia continues to face various challenges, particularly in accessing inclusive and adaptive Islamic Religious Education (IRE). The integration of Qur’anic values through a thematic exegesis approach has not yet been fully optimized to support CSN learning. This study aims to formulate an inclusive IRE curriculum model based on relevant Qur’anic values. Using a qualitative method and thematic interpretation, the research analyzes selected Qur’anic verses alongside classical and contemporary exegeses. The findings reveal inclusive values—such as compassion, accessibility, respect for human dignity, and adaptability to limitations—reflected in QS ‘Abasa [80], al-Nūr [24], al-Ḥujurāt [49], al-Isrā’ [17], and al-Nisā’ [4]. The study proposes a model for an inclusive IRE curriculum and lesson plans (RPP) that are responsive to the needs of CSN. This research contributes to the academic discourse on inclusive Islamic education and provides practical insights for policy development at madrasahs and general education institutions. This study offers a novel integration of thematic Qur’anic exegesis into Islamic inclusive education design, with strategic implications for curriculum development and policy in religious and public education systems.

Digitalisasi Pembelajaran Kitab Kuning Untuk Keberlanjutan Nilai Turats
The traditional way of learning kitab kuning has started to face challenges, such as limited access, reduced student interest in classical texts, and the lack of optimal use of technology in learning activities. This study aims to find a new way to keep kitab kuning learning going with the help of digital tools, without losing important values like sanad (chain of knowledge), adab (ethics), and the central role of the teacher. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review, direct observation, and interviews with several ustadz (teachers), santri (students), and Islamic education experts. The results show that a suitable digital learning model is a mobile-based application that includes teacher voice readings, automatic translations, discussion forums, and offline accessibility. Learning methods such as sorogan and bandongan can still be applied online to preserve the pesantren atmosphere. The innovation in this study is the proposed design of digital learning that is not only modern but still rooted in pesantren traditions. In addition, the findings may support pesantren leaders and related parties in developing teacher training, learning facilities, and digital systems that fit the needs on the ground. With a careful and gradual approach, digitalizing kitab kuning can help preserve Islamic scholarly heritage while adapting to the times.
