Perpustakaan Sebagai Learning Resource Center: Konsep dan Implementasi di Pendidikan Modern
The development of information technology has driven the transformation of libraries from conventional systems to Learning Resource Centers (LRCs), which serve as learning resource centers in modern education. This study aims to examine the concept and implementation of libraries as Learning Resource Centers and their impact on educational quality. The method used was descriptive qualitative with a literature study approach, collecting and analyzing data from various relevant scientific journals and books. The study results indicate that modern libraries no longer function solely as information providers but have evolved into learning centers integrated with technologies such as digital libraries and e-learning. Furthermore, the role of librarians has also changed to become learning facilitators, supporting the development of information literacy and critical thinking skills. The implementation of Learning Resource Centers has had a positive impact on increasing access to information, learning independence, and learning quality. However, several challenges remain, such as limited infrastructure, human resource competency, and policy support. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed through technological enhancement, librarian competency enhancement, and institutional support to ensure libraries function optimally as innovative and sustainable learning resource centers. Keywords: library, learning resource center, digital library, e-learning, education

Strategi Guru PAI sebagai Motivator dalam Mengembangkan Bakat Keagamaan Siswa
This study aims to examine the role of Islamic Education (PAI) teachers as motivators in developing students’ religious talents at SMP Ma’arif 4 Pamekasan. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving PAI teachers, school leaders, extracurricular coordinators, and students. The findings reveal that PAI teachers play a strategic role as motivators through personal approaches, persuasive communication, positive reinforcement, and the creation of interactive and enjoyable learning environments. These strategies help increase students’ confidence, motivation, and participation in religious activities. The development of students’ religious talents is further supported through the Yanbu’a extracurricular program, which focuses on improving Qur’anic reading skills based on tajwid and makharijul huruf through structured and continuous learning stages. The program also contributes to the formation of students’ religious character through regular habituation activities integrated into the school culture. In addition, the development of religious talents is supported by religious extracurricular activities, digital learning media, and collaboration between schools, pesantren, and parents. However, the study also identified several challenges, including differences in students’ abilities and learning motivation, limited instructional time, low initial Qur’anic literacy, and the lack of a supportive Arabic language environment. To overcome these challenges, teachers implemented individualized guidance, religious habituation, motivational reinforcement, and continuous collaboration with families and pesantren environments. The study concludes that the role of PAI teachers as motivators significantly contributes to the holistic development of students’ religious talents and religious character

Analisis Penerapan Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta: Antara Harapan dan Kenyataan
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Love-Based Curriculum (LBC), examine the alignment between curriculum policy expectations and classroom realities, and explore seventh-grade students’ perceptions of love-based learning practices at MTs. Darul Lughoh wal Karomah Kraksaan Probolinggo. The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design combined with a literature review. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the principal, teachers, and seventh-grade students, supported by document analysis and relevant academic literature. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through data reduction, coding, and inductive conclusion drawing, with source triangulation applied to ensure data validity.

Hakikat Kebenaran Dan Sumber Pengetahuan Dalam Pendidikan Islam
Knowledge aims to discover scientific truth. In the Islamic perspective, knowledge plays an essential role as a means to achieve well-being in worldly life as well as a path to knowing Allah SWT. This article aims to examine the understanding of the concept of material objects, the nature of knowledge, and the similarities and differences between science, religion, and philosophy. The material objects in Islamic educational management encompass all tangible elements involved in the educational process, such as educational institutions, students, educators, curriculum, facilities and infrastructure, as well as learning activities. Science, religion, and philosophy are three domains that equally guide humans in the search for truth, although each possesses distinct characteristics. This research employs a library research method

Hakikat Ilmu Dalam Filsafat Pendidikan Islam
Studies on the nature of knowledge and the epistemological foundations of science in philosophy have been widely discussed; however, fundamental understanding of knowledge from the perspective of Islamic educational philosophy remains limited. The main issue addressed in this study is how the nature of knowledge is explained epistemologically according to Islamic thought and its implications for Islamic education. This research aims to elaborate on the epistemological foundations of knowledge in Islamic education and to provide a comprehensive understanding of the authentic sources and methods of knowledge according to Islam. The research method used is a qualitative study employing a library research approach through an analysis of various books, journals, and both classical and contemporary sources in Islamic philosophy of education and knowledge. The findings indicate that knowledge in Islamic education possesses a strong epistemological foundation rooted in both revelation (wahy) and reason (‘aql), emphasizing harmony between cognition and spirituality. Thus, Islamic education not only highlights rational and scientific aspects but also integrates spiritual and moral values within the process of acquiring knowledge. This study reinforces the importance of integrating Islamic epistemology in the development of curriculum and learning methods in Islamic education

Epistemologi Pendidikan Agama Islam Dalam Era Digital
The digital era has transformed the epistemic landscape of Islamic Religious Education (PAI), marked by the coexistence of traditional religious authority and an overwhelming flow of unfiltered digital information. This study aims to reconstruct the epistemological framework of PAI to preserve the validity, authenticity, and relevance of Islamic knowledge in the context of technological disruption. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through library research, this study analyzes contemporary literature on the philosophy of science, Islamic epistemology, and digital education. The findings indicate that the epistemology of PAI in the digital era must adopt an integrative–interconnective model that synthesizes the bayani (textual), burhani (rational), and irfani (intuitive) modes of reasoning, reinforced by critical digital literacy. Religious knowledge is no longer positioned as a static and monologic transmission of texts but emerges through a dynamic interaction between sacred sources and data-driven sociocultural realities. The study concludes that strengthening digital source criticism and tabayyun-oriented learning is essential to enhance students’ epistemic resilience against hoaxes, misinformation, and religious radicalism. This epistemological reconstruction is crucial for positioning PAI as a moral compass and intellectual foundation within an increasingly complex digital ecosystem

Strategi Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam Meningkatkan Motivasi Ibadah Siswa Sekolah Dasar melalui Pendekatan Kontekstual dan Spiritual
This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic Religious Education (ISE) teachers' strategies to increase students' motivation for worship at MI Zainul Hasan Genggong through the application of contextual and spiritual approaches in the learning process. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon that some students still perform worship solely due to external motivation, rather than spiritual awareness born from the heart. Therefore, Islamic Religious Education cannot be delivered solely cognitively; it must also address the affective dimension and foster intrinsic motivation for worship. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a library research model, through analysis of scientific journals, Islamic education books, and previous research relevant to the context of MI Zainul Hasan Genggong. The results show that Islamic Religious Education (ISE) teachers implemented contextual strategies by linking worship material to students' concrete experiences, as well as spiritual strategies through role models, persuasive advice, fostering communal worship, and demonstrating worship practices. This approach has been proven to encourage students' internal drive to worship consciously, voluntarily, and with full appreciation. This study concludes that Islamic Religious Education learning that integrates contextual and spiritual approaches not only improves students' cognitive understanding, but also succeeds in forming long-term religious awareness and motivation for worship

Orientasi Pendidikan Islam: Dalam Pemikiran Imam Al Ghozali
This article examines the orientation of Islamic education in the thought of Imam Al-Ghazali, focusing on its philosophical foundations, objectives, and implications for contemporary Islamic education. The study aims to analyze Al-Ghazali’s conception of education as a holistic process that integrates intellectual development, moral refinement, and spiritual purification in order to achieve human perfection (al-insān al-kāmil) and ultimate happiness in both worldly life and the hereafter. Employing a qualitative library research method, this study analyzes Al-Ghazali’s primary works and relevant secondary literature using a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that Al-Ghazali views Islamic education as a transformative process grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah, in which knowledge is not merely transmitted but internalized through ethical conduct and spiritual discipline. He emphasizes the central role of educators as moral exemplars and highlights the importance of a balanced integration of reason, ethics, and spirituality in the educational process. This study further reveals that the limited implementation of Al-Ghazali’s educational philosophy in modern contexts has contributed to an imbalance between intellectual achievement and moral-spiritual development. Therefore, Al-Ghazali’s educational orientation remains highly relevant as a foundational framework for reforming contemporary Islamic education, particularly in promoting harmony between knowledge and character formation, as well as fostering a meaningful teacher–student relationship aimed at attaining comprehensive human development.

Filsafat Pendidikan Islam Dalam Perspektif Muhammad Abduh
This study aims to examine the philosophy of Islamic education from the perspective of Muhammad Abduh, with a particular emphasis on how the concepts of Islamic modernism and rationalism that he advocated shaped a new paradigm for modern Islamic education. A qualitative–descriptive method was used in this research. Abduh’s major works such as Risālat al-Tawḥīd and Tafsīr al-Manār along with several of his reformist writings and commentaries, were analyzed philosophically and historically through hermeneutics and content analysis. The findings indicate that Abduh’s thought on Islamic education highlights the integration of revelation and reason, faith and knowledge, as well as religious education and modern science. His ideas were intended to cultivate individuals who are rational, ethical, and socially productive. He criticized conventional educational methods that emphasized rote memorization without understanding, and instead promoted an approach centered on ijtihād, discussion, and the contextualization of Qur'anic values as the foundation of education. The contribution of this study lies in offering a new interpretation of Abduh’s educational ideas. This interpretation concerns how Abduh’s principles of theological rationalism can be applied to develop an integrative and humanistic curriculum grounded in Islamic social ethics and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah in the modern era.

Filsafat Pendidikan Islam Dalam Perspektif Ibnu Maskawayh
This study examines the Islamic educational thought of Ibn Miskawayh, focusing on the formation of noble character as the core of educational objectives, which aims to achieve true happiness (al-sa‘ādah) through the development of an inner disposition that naturally produces good actions. Ibn Miskawayh’s holistic approach emphasizes the balance between physical, intellectual, and spiritual aspects, integrating both religious and worldly sciences into a curriculum that addresses all dimensions of the human being. Effective education, according to him, requires natural methods that align with the developmental stages of learners, with teachers serving as moral and spiritual guides. This research employs a qualitative method using literature review and descriptive-critical analysis to present a conceptual framework and practical recommendations for the development of modern Islamic education. Furthermore, the study discusses the relevance of classical and modern curricula in addressing contemporary educational challenges, which demand the integration of scientific knowledge and character development to shape a balanced and competent generation in the global context. The findings reinforce the importance of Islamic education rooted in moral and spiritual values while accommodating modern advancements, in order to cultivate insān kāmil individuals who are faithful, morally upright, and globally competitive.

Hakikat Pendidik Dalam Tinjauan Filsafat Pendidikan Islam
The discourse on the essence of educators in Islamic educational philosophy is essential, as educators function not only as instructors but also as learners who continuously develop their intellectual and moral capacities. This study aims to explain the concept of humans as the primary actors in education, identify the ideal typology of educators from an Islamic perspective, and examine the moral, spiritual, and professional responsibilities inherent to the teaching profession. Employing a qualitative method, this research utilizes a literature review that draws on primary and secondary sources, including the Qur’an, Hadith, classical scholarly works, contemporary literature, and academic publications related to Islamic educational philosophy. The findings indicate that humans hold dual roles as educators and learners, both of which interact to create a dynamic, humanistic, and transformative educational process. The ideal educator is characterized by humility, gentleness, exemplary conduct, and the ability to facilitate effective learning. Moreover, educators bear the responsibility of strengthening moral integrity and continuously improving professional competence. These findings highlight the pivotal role of educators as the foundational agents in shaping morally upright and excellent generations in accordance with Islamic values

Integrasi Teknologi Digital Dalam Desain Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam: Teori dan Praktik
The rapid advancement of digital technology requires Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to adapt in order to remain relevant and effective in shaping students’ character, morality, and piety. This study aims to explain the theories used in integrating digital technology into the design of PAI learning and its application in modern educational contexts. The research employs a library research (literature study) method with a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis, focusing on theories, learning models, implementation, and challenges in integrating digital technology within PAI. The findings indicate that learning theories such as behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and humanism serve as essential foundations in developing PAI learning. Each theory has its own strengths in shaping students’ knowledge, attitudes, and behavior; therefore, teachers need to apply them flexibly. The integration of digital technology in PAI strengthens these theories through the use of videos, learning management systems (LMS), interactive quizzes, and other digital media, making the learning process more engaging, contextual, and relevant for digital-native generations. Despite its numerous benefits, the implementation of technology in PAI faces several challenges, including low digital literacy among teachers, limited facilities, and concerns over the potential decline of religious values. Proposed solutions include teacher training, infrastructure support, collaboration between parents and schools, and the cultivation of Islamic-based digital ethics.

Desain Pembelajaran PAI Berbasis Multiliterasi Untuk Mahasiswa Pascasarjana
This study aims to examine the implementation of multiliteracy-based Islamic Education (PAI) learning among postgraduate students at Universitas Negeri Zainul Hasan Genggong. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The study focuses on four domains of multiliteracy: textual, digital, media, and cultural literacy. The findings indicate that multiliteracy practices in PAI learning remain in the initial stage and have not yet been fully integrated into a systematic pedagogical framework. Digital technology is utilized primarily as a tool for delivering material and searching for information, rather than as a collaborative or creative learning medium. Textual literacy tends to be limited to reproduction, digital literacy is oriented toward information consumption, media literacy has not progressed toward the production of religious content, and cultural literacy is largely confined to fostering tolerance. Key challenges include limited digital facilities, low levels of technology-based religious literacy, and insufficient lecturer understanding of multiliteracy pedagogy. Strengthening strategies are therefore needed, including digital literacy training grounded in Islamic values, project-based learning implementation, and the integration of Islamic principles with socio-cultural contexts. These efforts are expected to enhance students’ critical, reflective, and adaptive skills in navigating digital-era challenges.

Hakikat Tujuan Pendidikan Islam dalam Perspektif Ontologi, Epistemologi, dan Aksiologi: Suatu Kajian Kepustakaan
This study aims to explore the essential goals of Islamic education through the philosophical perspectives of ontology, epistemology, and axiology. These three dimensions serve as the foundational pillars that shape the theoretical and practical orientation of Islamic education. Employing a library research method, this study examines and synthesizes relevant scholarly works, including classical and contemporary literature, to construct a comprehensive understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of Islamic educational objectives. The analysis reveals that, ontologically, Islamic education is grounded in the conception of human nature as a holistic being endowed with physical, intellectual, and spiritual potentials. Epistemologically, Islamic education integrates revealed knowledge, rational inquiry, and empirical experience as interconnected sources of truth. Axiologically, Islamic education emphasizes moral and ethical values as the core orientation of the educational process. The study concludes that these three philosophical foundations collectively guide Islamic education toward forming insan kāmil—individuals who are intellectually capable, spiritually grounded, and ethically responsible. This philosophical integration provides a coherent framework for designing and implementing Islamic education that remains relevant to contemporary challenges while maintaining its distinctive Islamic identity

Pengelolaan Wakaf Uang pada PTKIS: Analisis SLR dalam Perspektif Ekonomi Kelembagaan
This study examines the institutional determinants of cash waqf management in Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIS) in Indonesia by integrating insights from New Institutional Economics, the governance framework of Williamson, and Ostrom’s theory of collective action. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 21 articles published in Sinta 1–3 journals between 2021 and 2025, the study identifies dominant patterns, constraints, and institutional dynamics shaping the effectiveness of cash waqf initiatives within PTKIS. The review reveals three prevailing governance configurations internal nazhir institutions, external partnerships, and socio-religious ad hoc practices each associated with distinctive formal–informal rules, monitoring mechanisms, and transaction cost structures. Findings show that institutional complementarities among formal regulations, governance design, and community-based monitoring are crucial for improving accountability and investment decision-making. However, path dependency and limited managerial capacity continue to hinder the transition toward productive and innovative waqf models. This study contributes conceptually by offering an integrated institutional framework and practically by proposing multilayered policy strategies to strengthen governance, reduce uncertainty, and enhance the sustainability of cash waqf management in PTKIS

The Role of English Films in Language Learning: A Theoretical Perspective on Listening Comprehension Development
This study aims to explore the potential of English films as authentic media for developing listening skills among learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). In the EFL context, listening plays a foundational role in the acquisition of other language skills. The research adopts a qualitative approach using library research methods, drawing on relevant literature and previous studies as the basis for analysis. The findings indicate that films provide authentic linguistic input, including features such as intonation, accent, idiomatic expressions, and everyday conversational language. Moreover, the visual components of films such as facial expressions, body language, and social settings enhance listening comprehension more effectively than conventional materials. These observations are supported by theories such as Dual Coding and Multimedia Learning, which emphasize the importance of integrating verbal and visual elements in the learning process. Nevertheless, the implementation of film-based listening instruction presents certain challenges, including speech rate, cultural differences, and the need for contextually appropriate task design. Therefore, the use of films in listening pedagogy must be carefully planned to align with learning objectives and learner needs
