Interrelasi Pengetahuan, Sikap dan Penglibatan Pelajar IPT terhadap Pembelajaran Jawi: Suatu Tinjauan Konseptual Berasaskan Model KAP
Kedatangan Islam telah membawa perubahan besar bukan sahaja dalam aspek akidah dan sosio-budaya, malah turut memperkenalkan Jawi yang kemudiannya menjadi asas penting dalam pembentukan tradisi persuratan Melayu. Namun begitu, kajian yang mengintegrasikan hubungan antara pengetahuan, sikap dan penglibatan pelajar institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT) terhadap Jawi tidak begitu meluas, apatah lagi yang berteraskan teori KAP. Justeru, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kajian terdahulu berkaitan tahap pengetahuan, sikap, dan penglibatan pelajar IPT terhadap Jawi dengan berpandukan teori KAP (Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice). Artikel ini merupakan literature-based conceptual review yang menggunakan pendakatan kualitatif melalui analisis dokumen. Hasil kajian mendapati penguasaan pengetahuan pelajar IPT terhadap Jawi masih berada pada tahap yang sederhana. Walau bagaimanapun, dapatan terhadap sikap menunjukkan respon yang positif mengenai kepentingan Jawi sebagai identiti budaya dan warisan keilmuan Islam. Sikap ini telah mendorong penglibatan aktif dalam aktiviti luar kelas seperti penyertaan kelab Jawi. Kajian ini membuktikan bahawa wujud hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan, sikap dan penglibatan pelajar terhadap Jawi sebagaimana yang dirumuskan dalam kerangka KAP. Oleh itu, kajian mencadangkan agar kursus Jawi ditawarkan secara meluas dan berstruktur di peringkat IPT serta diperkuatkan melalui aktiviti ko-kurikulum.

The Transformation of Islamic Education in Malabar: From Othupalli to Primary Madrasa
This study investigates the transformation of primary Islamic education in Malabar, focusing on the evolution from the informal Othupalli system to the structured Primary Madrasa system during the twentieth century. This transformation was driven by socio-cultural shifts, political influences during colonial and postcolonial periods, and active community participation, which collectively ensured the preservation and modernization of Islamic education amid the rise of secular schooling. The continued use of Arabi-Malayalam highlights cultural adaptability in sustaining religious knowledge transmission. This study contributes a historically grounded, localized perspective to global scholarship on Islamic educational reform, emphasizing the interplay of linguistic innovation, community agency, and institutional modernization. It underscores the resilience of Malabar’s Muslim community in negotiating educational preservation and reform. The findings call for ongoing reforms that integrate holistic Islamic values with contemporary pedagogical approaches to address current challenges and ensure the madrasa system’s future relevance.

The Development and Implementation of Game-based learning for Tasawwur Islam Subject: Insights from Teachers and Classroom Integration
This study explores the integration of game-based learning to enhance the teaching and learning of Tasawwur Islam, focusing on student engagement, motivation, and retention of complex Islamic concepts. Using a qualitative approach, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted with nine Tasawwur Islam teachers, complemented by classroom case studies in six schools. FGDs provided insights into teachers' perspectives on the challenges of teaching abstract concepts, while case studies assessed the practical impact of gamification on student learning outcomes. The findings revealed that mobile-based games significantly improved student engagement, particularly among underperforming students (GALUS) who typically struggle with traditional teaching methods. These students, often kinesthetic learners, benefited from the interactive and movement-oriented nature of gamified tools. Furthermore, tools like Tarsia Istilah and Quizizz enhanced memory retention of Islamic terminologies. Gamified tools also provided real-time feedback, enabling teachers to adapt their instructional strategies continuously. However, while game-based learning offer many benefits, balancing these with traditional teaching methods is essential to ensure deeper conceptual understanding. This study contributes to the growing body of research on Islamic education by demonstrating the potential of game-based learning to create more interactive, engaging, and effective learning experiences.
Peranan Guru Pendidikan Islam sebagai Pendakwah Kontemporari: Analisis Konseptual terhadap Pendekatan dan Cabaran Dakwah Semasa
Perkembangan teknologi dan perubahan sosial yang pesat menuntut guru Pendidikan Islam (GPI) menyesuaikan peranan mereka bukan sekadar sebagai seorang pengajar, tetapi juga sebagai seorang pendakwah yang berupaya membentuk nilai serta sahsiah murid mengikut tuntutan semasa. Walaupun beberapa kajian terdahulu membincangkan peranan dakwah GPI secara berasingan, peranan ini masih belum dikaji secara menyeluruh dari perspektif pendekatan kontemporari yang merangkumi ruang formal dan tidak formal. Artikel ini membincangkan secara konseptual peranan GPI sebagai pendakwah kontemporari dengan meneliti pendekatan yang boleh dilaksanakan dan cabaran yang dihadapi dalam konteks sekolah masa kini. Perbincangan ini turut menekankan bagaimana pendekatan dakwah melalui didikan dan bimbingan boleh dilaksanakan dengan cara yang lebih kreatif dan interaktif, seiring dengan keperluan pembelajaran abad ke-21. Antara cabaran yang dikenal pasti termasuklah beban tugas, kekangan masa, kemahiran digital yang terhad serta pengaruh budaya digital terhadap murid. Artikel ini mencadangkan pengukuhan kemahiran komunikasi, literasi digital dan kecekapan pedagogi sebagai asas memperkasa peranan dakwah kontemporari GPI di sekolah. Kesimpulannya, keberkesanan dakwah GPI bergantung kepada keupayaan mereka menggabungkan ilmu, hikmah dan teknologi secara seimbang agar mesej Islam terus segar dan bermakna dalam dunia pendidikan masa kini.
Psikologi Remaja Muslim Kontemporari: Cabaran dan Strategi Penyesuaian Berasaskan Islam
Artikel ini membincangkan psikologi remaja Muslim masa kini dengan meneliti perkembangan remaja, cabaran identiti, dan strategi penyesuaian diri berasaskan nilai Islam. Remaja Muslim kini berdepan tekanan sosial, pengaruh rakan sebaya yang buruk, kesunyian, buli, serta konflik nilai akibat pengaruh globalisasi. Cabaran ini menjejaskan kesejahteraan mental dan boleh membawa kepada kemurungan jika tidak ditangani dengan baik. Berdasarkan sorotan literatur, didapati bahawa strategi pengukuhan berasaskan agama seperti solat, doa, dan zikir mampu mengurangkan tekanan serta meningkatkan ketenangan rohani. Selain itu, komunikasi keluarga yang positif dan sokongan sosial daripada rakan serta guru turut memperkukuh daya tahan remaja dalam menghadapi tekanan hidup. Secara keseluruhan, pendekatan berasaskan spiritual dan sokongan sosial yang kukuh menjadi asas penting dalam membina kesejahteraan remaja Muslim di era moden ini.
Kerjasama antara Keluarga dan Pendidik dalam Membangunkan Kurikulum Madrasah Aliyah di Aceh
Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kerjasama antara keluarga dan pendidik dalam pembangunan kurikulum di Madrasah Aliyah (MA) di Aceh. Kajian ini membincangkan keperluan untuk memperkukuhkan kerjasama antara pihak berkepentingan sekolah dan keluarga dalam membangunkan kurikulum Islam yang adaptif, inovatif, dan relevan dengan kearifan tempatan Aceh. Pendekatan kajian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan analisis tematik. Data dikumpulkan melalui temu bual mendalam dengan pengetua, penolong pengetua kurikulum, guru, dan keluarga pelajar di empat MA di Aceh yang dipilih melalui persampelan bertujuan dan bola salji. Analisis data melibatkan pengenalpastian, pengekodan, pengkategorian, dan refleksi tentang penglibatan keluarga dan pendidik. Analisis tematik mengenal pasti dua tema utama: (1) penglibatan keluarga dalam pembangunan kurikulum inovatif, termasuk menghadiri mesyuarat, melengkapkan soal selidik, perbincangan, menyertai forum keibubapaan, dan memberikan input berkaitan pengukuhan kearifan tempatan, agama, dan sahsiah; (2) penglibatan guru dalam memudahkan forum kurikulum, pembangunan modul, penilaian berterusan, dan mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai Islam-tempatan ke dalam pembelajaran. Kerjasama ini memberi impak positif terhadap semangat, keyakinan diri, disiplin, komunikasi, dan minat pelajar terhadap seni berasaskan budaya tempatan. (3) Strategi kolaboratif, seperti perbezaan persepsi dan jurang dalam penyertaan keluarga, ditangani melalui dialog, komunikasi yang dipergiatkan, dan mewujudkan persekitaran pembelajaran di rumah. Kajian ini menekankan kepentingan melembagakan kerjasama antara keluarga dan pendidik melalui forum keluarga-guru, penglibatan literasi kurikulum, dan pendigitalan komunikasi sekolah-keluarga. Secara praktikal, kajian ini dapat memperkukuh pembangunan kurikulum Islam berasaskan budaya Aceh yang holistik dan responsif terhadap cabaran globalisasi dan perubahan sosial.
Syura dan Muhasabah dalam Kepimpinan Distributif oleh Guru Pendidikan Islam: Memperkukuh Komuniti Pembelajaran Profesional
Artikel ini membincangkan secara konseptual pengintegrasian nilai-nilai Islam, khususnya syura (musyawarah) dan muhasabah (refleksi kendiri), dalam memperkukuh pelaksanaan Komuniti Pembelajaran Profesional (KPP) melalui pendekatan kepimpinan distributif oleh Guru Pendidikan Islam yang memegang peranan kepimpinan pertengahan. Walaupun KPP diiktiraf sebagai strategi utama pembangunan profesional guru secara kolaboratif, pelaksanaannya di Malaysia masih terhalang oleh budaya hierarki, kekangan masa, dan amalan refleksi yang bersifat mekanikal serta kurang bermakna. Artikel ini berhujah bahawa nilai-nilai Islam yang berteraskan al-Qur’an serta pemikiran sarjana seperti al-Ghazali dan al-Mawardi merupakan asas penting dalam membentuk budaya kerja profesional yang berintegriti, berpaksikan spiritualiti Islam dan lestari. Berteraskan prinsip syura dan muhasabah, satu kerangka konseptual diketengahkan untuk memandu pelaksanaan KPP menerusi pendekatan kepimpinan distributif oleh guru yang berperanan sebagai pemimpin pertengahan termasuk penolong kanan, guru kanan mata pelajaran, ketua panitia, guru cemerlang serta jurulatih atau fasilitator bidang. Model KPP oleh Hord (1997, 2004) dan Teori Kepimpinan Distributif oleh Gronn (2002) disusun semula agar selari dengan nilai-nilai Islam, demi menjamin pembangunan profesional guru yang berpaksikan etika, spiritualiti dan tanggungjawab kolektif. Pendekatan ini diyakini mampu memacu transformasi ekosistem pembelajaran profesional yang lebih reflektif, inklusif dan berpaksikan nilai. Implikasi terhadap pembangunan latihan guru, penambahbaikan dasar pendidikan, serta pembudayaan kolaborasi profesional yang bermaruah turut dihuraikan.

Cybercrime in Contemporary Society: An Islamic Worldview on Its Framework, Motivations, and Consequences
This article examines cybercrime through a threefold lens: its conceptual framework, underlying motivations, and consequences, with an added emphasis on the Islamic worldview. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the study explores how cybercrime encompassing acts like hacking, data theft, and online fraud is driven by diverse motivations, including economic, psychological, social, technological, political, and sexual factors. Beyond conventional analysis, the study incorporates Islamic reflections on these motivations, highlighting ethical and spiritual dimensions often overlooked in secular discourse. The impacts of cybercrime are categorized into six domains: economic, psychological, social, legal, security, and moral-spiritual consequences. From an Islamic perspective, cybercrime erodes moral consciousness (taqwa), promotes unethical behavior, and disrupts societal harmony. The study stresses the need for comprehensive strategies that integrate legal, technological, and ethical measures, including faith-based digital ethics. This approach contributes to a more holistic understanding of cybercrime in contemporary society.

The Role of Virtual Classrooms on Developing Reflective Thinking in Islamic Education Among Students from Teachers’ Perceptions in UAE
The research aimed to identify the role of virtual classrooms on developing reflective thinking in Islamic education among students from teachers’ perceptions in UAE. To achieve that, a quantitative design (descriptive-analytical approach) was used, and a questionnaire consisting of 30 items, distributed equally into two domains: the importance of employing virtual classrooms and the role of virtual classrooms in developing reflective thinking in Islamic education, was applied to a random sample of 467 Islamic education teachers. The results showed that the degree of importance of employing virtual classrooms in teaching Islamic education was (high), and the level of the role of virtual classrooms in developing reflective thinking in Islamic education among students was (high). The results also showed no significant difference in the degree of importance of employing virtual classrooms in teaching Islamic education due to (gender, educational stage, academic qualification, and years of experience) variables. Moreover, the results showed a significant difference in the role of virtual classrooms in developing reflective thinking in Islamic education among students due to the academic qualifications variable in favor of PhD and MSc, and experience variable in favor of less than 10 years’ experience, while no differences appeared due to (gender and educational stage) variables. According to these finding, the researchers recommend the necessity of continuing to employ virtual classrooms in teaching, even in normal circumstances, because of their prominent role in developing reflective thinking.
Ilorin Emirate Scholars of Nupe Origin’s Role in The Educational Curriculum of The Emirate
Education is the basis of uprightness, morality, credible and reliable technology, and security, which are essential for life sustenance. The foundation of standard education lies in a sound curriculum. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the University of Timbuktu in the defunct Songhai Empire of West Africa competed successfully with European Universities in all spheres of knowledge. However, in the twenty-first century, none of the West African universities possessed the quality attained by their counterparts in the industrialized countries. This indicates that many things went wrong in our universities' evolutionary trends and development. This study examined the historical contributions of Nupe scholars alongside other ethnic groups (Hausa, Yoruba, and Fulani) of Ilorin Emirate origin to the educational development of the geographical entity, to enable the reform of our educational system for positive growth. The paper adopted a historical research method, which involved a case study approach, using archival materials, oral interviews, text content analysis, comparative analysis, and internet materials to assess the causes and courses of the dysfunctional educational system in the Ilorin Emirate. The study concluded that the scholars of Nupe extractions from the Ilorin Emirate contributed immensely to the enrichment of the academic curriculum of the Emirate. Although this was sustained, there was a slow pace in its further development, which adversely impacted the educational development of the Ilorin Emirate.
Dimensi Pengalaman Mengajar dan Pengetahuan Pedagogi Kandungan dalam Pengajaran Tilawah Al- Quran: Sebuah Analisis Korelasi
Pengajaran Tilawah al-Quran dalam sistem pendidikan Malaysia telah mengalami transformasi signifikan melalui penstrukturan kurikulum Pendidikan Islam khususnya dalam pengintegrasian pengetahuan pedagogi kandungan yang digariskan dalam Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, kajian-kajian empirikal terdahulu mendapati guru Pendidikan Islam masih mencatatkan tahap pengetahuan pedagogi kandungan (PPK) yang sederhana, serta cenderung mengamalkan kaedah pengajaran tradisional yang berpusatkan guru. Berlandaskan integrasi teori efikasi kendiri dan model PPK, kajian ini menentukan hubungan antara pengalaman mengajar dan PPK dalam kalangan guru Pendidikan Islam. Kajian kuantitatif berbentuk tinjauan ini melibatkan 149 guru Pendidikan Islam di sekolah menengah harian Zon Barat Sabah dengan menggunakan soal selidik berstruktur 12 item dengan nilai kebolehpercayaan tinggi (>.90). Dapatan menunjukkan tahap pengalaman mengajar (M=3.99, SP=0.56) dan PPK (M=4.00, SP=0.70) berada pada tahap sederhana tinggi, dengan hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara keyakinan mengajar dengan PPK (r=-.175, p<.05). Penemuan ini memberi implikasi penting terhadap transformasi program Pembangunan profesional guru yang perlu mengimbangi antara pengalaman praktikal dengan inovasi pedagogi kontemporari.

Impak Moderasi Pengalaman Mengajar terhadap Pengaruh PTPK dalam Pembentukan Amalan Kreativiti Pengajaran Sirah dan Tamadun Islam
Kajian ini menentukan kesan moderasi pengalaman mengajar terhadap pengaruh pengetahuan teknologi pedagogi kandungan (PTPK) dalam pembentukan amalan kreativiti pengajaran Sirah dan Tamadun Islam pada era Revolusi Industri 4.0. Melalui pendekatan kuantitatif dengan reka bentuk tinjauan keratan rentas, seramai 300 orang guru Pendidikan Islam di sekolah menengah harian Sabah telah terlibat dalam kajian ini. Data telah dikumpul melalui soal selidik PTPK dan amalan kreativiti pengajaran, seterusnya dianalisis dengan pemodelan persamaan berstruktur melalui SEM-AMOS versi 26.0. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan PTPK memberi pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap amalan kreativiti pengajaran (β = 0.386, p < 0.001), namun pengalaman mengajar tidak menampilkan kesan moderasi yang signifikan terhadap hubungan tersebut (Δχ²= 7.67, p = 0.906). Dapatan ini mendapati bahawa keberkesanan PTPK bersifat universal merentas semua peringkat pengalaman, sekali gus menyumbang kepada pengembangan teori PTPK dalam konteks pendidikan Islam serta memberi implikasi penting terhadap pembangunan profesional guru dan transformasi pedagogi pengajaran Sirah dan Tamadun Islam ke arah yang lebih progresif dan inovatif dalam era digital.
Cadangan Pembinaan Garis Panduan Pembinaan Sahsiah Murid Melalui E-Pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam Sekolah Rendah
E-pembelajaran atau konsep pembelajaran secara dalam talian merupakan pendekatan baharu dalam pengendalian proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran di institusi pendidikan di Malaysia. Kajian lepas menunjukkan bahawa pengaplikasian e-pembelajaran bagi menggantikan sesi pembelajaran bersemuka secara fizikal di dalam kelas memberikan beberapa implikasi kepada perkembangan sahsiah murid. Ketiadaan garis panduan e-pembelajaran yang khusus dari aspek pembinaan sahsiah murid menyebabkan guru kurang bersedia dan kurang berpuas hati dengan perkembangan sahsiah murid semasa proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dilaksanakan melalui medium e-pembelajaran. Garis panduan e-pembelajaran yang sedia ada kebanyakannya lebih tertumpu kepada pelajar di peringkat institusi pengajian tinggi. Namun begitu, walaupun garis panduan e-pembelajaran sedia ada telah dikeluarkan namun, didapati pelajar-pelajar masih gagal untuk mengikuti garis panduan tersebut sebagai warga digital yang betul. Ini menunjukkan masih terdapat kelompangan dari segi garis panduan e-pembelajaran sedia ada dalam menjadikan pelajar sebagai warga digital yang berhemah. Oleh itu, dengan menggunakan perisian Nvivo versi 1.7, kajian ini dijalankan terhadap Guru Pendidikan Islam sekolah rendah untuk mengkaji sejauh mana garis panduan e-pembelajaran sedia ada membantu mereka dalam melaksanakan tanggungjawab membina sahsiah murid melalui pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam sekolah rendah secara dalam talian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat keperluan dalam membuat penambahbaikan garis panduan sedia ada bagi tujuan pembinaan sahsiah murid melalui e-pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam berdasarkan permasalahan dan isu-isu yang dihadapi oleh guru semasa pelaksanaan e-pembelajaran. Oleh itu, diharapkan cadangan garis panduan pembinaan sahsiah murid sekolah rendah dalam pengaplikasian e-pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam dapat memberi informasi terbaharu kepada guru Pendidikan Islam khususnya yang bertanggungjawab dalam membentuk sahsiah murid.
The Role of Contemporary Teacher Education Institutions in Preparing Future Religious Teachers
Malaysia is well-known for its diversity of ethnicity, cultures and religions, with Islam as the official religion at the federal level. In the context of Malaysia MADANI, education plays a crucial role, especially in maintaining the harmony of the country’s pluralistic society. Therefore, education continues to be empowered through modern teacher education institutes that train those in the teaching profession to produce individuals as agents to further the educational process. Educational institutions have existed for a long time and have developed through various institutions. Therefore, this writing aims to highlight the role played by the Academy of Islamic Studies, Universiti Malaya (APIUM) as a contemporary teacher education institution preparing prospective religious teachers who will lead education in this country. This study uses the literature review method involving content analysis of written materials such as academic journals, theses, books and so on. The results of the study prove that APIUM plays a significant role in providing quality future religious teachers and helping shape them as civic educators who will spread devotion and realize the aspirations of Malaysia MADANI.
Psikoterapi Tasawuf dan Peranannya dalam Pengurusan Emosi Pelajar
Psikoterapi tasawuf merupakan pendekatan spiritual yang berasaskan prinsip-prinsip Islam, seperti tawakal, muhasabah dan tazkiyah al-nafs yang bertujuan membantu individu mengawal emosi dan mencapai kesejahteraan dalaman. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peranan psikoterapi tasawuf dalam mengawal emosi pelajar melalui sorotan literatur sedia ada. Tekanan emosi yang dihadapi pelajar seperti tekanan akademik, sosial dan peribadi sering memberi kesan negatif terhadap kesejahteraan mental dan prestasi mereka. Pendekatan tasawuf menawarkan alternatif yang unik dengan menekankan elemen spiritual untuk membantu pelajar mengurus emosi secara holistik. Melalui kajian literatur, didapati bahawa elemen seperti sabar, syukur dan tawakal dapat membantu menenangkan minda, meningkatkan ketahanan diri dan mengurangkan stres. Pendekatan ini juga berpotensi diterapkan dalam program pendidikan dan kaunseling untuk memperkasa pelajar dari sudut emosi dan spiritual. Di samping itu, proses tazkiyah al-nafs turut memainkan peranan penting dalam pengaplikasian psikoterapi tasawuf ini. Berdasarkan sorotan literatur, psikoterapi tasawuf telah terbukti berpotensi sebagai satu intervensi yang efektif dalam membantu pelajar mengawal emosi mereka. Keberkesanannya turut memberikan implikasi positif terhadap kesejahteraan dan prestasi akademik pelajar, seperti yang dibincangkan dalam kajian ini. Namun, penyelidikan lanjut diperlukan untuk mengukuhkan keberkesanan pendekatan ini melalui kajian empirikal.
Advancing Islamic Education with Game-Based Learning: Principles, Effects, And Implementation Obstacles
This study examines the incorporation of game-based learning (GBL) within Islamic educational contexts, focussing on the alignment of GBL with Islamic pedagogical principles and its effects on student engagement and learning results. A qualitative research design was utilised, encompassing document analysis and focus group talks. The document analysis examined literature and educational resources pertaining to both Game-Based Learning (GBL) and Islamic education, while focus group conversations with educators from Islamic schools offered insights into their experiences and perceptions of GBL. The results demonstrate that GBL is congruent with various Islamic educational principles, including self-reflection and feedback, individualised learning, incremental learning, and cooperative learning. Educators indicated that game-based learning substantially boosts student enthusiasm and enhances academic performance. Nonetheless, problems including resource limitations, curriculum alignment, and the necessity for professional development were recognised. Recommendations for successful integration encompass the creation of game-based learning materials specifically designed for the Islamic setting, offering training for educators, and tackling resource constraints. This study emphasises that the incorporation of Game-Based Learning (GBL) into Islamic education presents a viable method for improving educational experiences, contingent upon the resolution of implementation challenges and adherence to Islamic standards.
