    Exploring the role of integrated Islamic school network (JSIT) in inculcating its ideological values
    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Andi Ibrahim Ali; Lukman Nul Hakim; Alpha Amirrachman
    This study investigates the role of the Integrated Islamic School Network (JSIT) in the inculcation of its ideological values through education. It examines the historical context of Islamic education in Indonesia, the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) on JSIT, and the strategies employed by JSIT to inculcate its Islamic values. This research also sees the interplay between JSIT’s quality assurance and the National Standard of Education in creating good graduates or alumni for the nation. The theoretical framework of curriculum, total quality management, and inculcation values are applied to the three research questions, namely to explore how JSIT’s ideology develops throughout the curriculum, how is JSIT’s role in inculcating its ideological value within the school under its umbrella and lastly to study the implementation inculcation of the ideology process within the school unit. This study employs a qualitative approach. The data were collected through interviews, observations, and documents at three JSIT schools in Bekasi involving two teachers and two principals from Islamic-integrated Schools. The data was analyzed using Quirkos, a qualitative data analysis software to carry out thematic analysis. The findings demonstrate that the ideology is developed into the curriculum via subject, humanistic, and social reconstructionist approaches, aligning with the goal of enhancing the Islamic ethos of the students. The function of JSIT itself lies in ensuring the quality of the schools within its purview. JSIT's quality assurance matches Indonesia's national education standards; however, it incorporates the Quran, Sunnah, and Hadiths into these standards, along with an additional criterion focusing on student development. JSIT places a strong emphasis on the importance of teacher professionalism, advocating for continuous professional development to enhance teaching quality and effectiveness. It upholds the principles of total quality management theory to ensure educational excellence in the affiliated schools, with a particular emphasis on moral imperatives over others. The methods used to inculcate the ideology encompass various approaches such as content delivery, curriculum design, extracurricular activities, and community involvement initiatives. Additionally, JSIT recognizes the vital role of parental engagement in education, promoting active participation and collaboration between parents and educational institutions to nurture students' holistic growth. In other words, the ideology of JSIT which fuses smoothly in the national curriculum will strengthen and enhance the graduates or alumni due to its well-planned, well-managed, and well-measured. The ideology could shape the socio-religious values of the graduates with potential implications for the socio-landscape of Indonesia. Further research is recommended in order to measure the further impacts of the JSIT’s ideology.

    Investigating learning processes in modern pesantren : an understanding the process of learning through psychology of education
    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2024) Tazkia Aulia Rahmah; Tati Lathipatud Durriyah; Alpha Amirrachman
    This study explores the integration of educational psychology principles— behaviourism, cognitivism, and constructivism—within the traditional learning environment of pesantren. While pesantren has adopted elements of modern curricula, traditional methods, such as memorization-based teaching and kitab kuning, remain prevalent. These methods may potentially limit students’ critical thinking abilities. A significant gap exists between the learning paradigms in pesantren and the principles of educational psychology, which emphasize students as active participants in their learning process, considering their developmental stages, motivation, and individual learning style. The research aimed to investigate whether the integration of religious education and traditional methods in pesantren can incorporate modern learning values that address students’ mental and personal development, cognitive aspects, learning motivation, and individual differences. A qualitative case study was conducted at a modern boarding school in West Java, involving four students, four teachers, and a Kyai to gather insights into the learning process in pesantren. Data collection methods included interview and observation, with validity and reliability ensured trough triangulation and member checking. Manual thematic analysis was used to analysed the data. The study concluded that behaviourism, cognitivism, and constructivism are present in the learning processes in pesantren, both in classroom settings—such as in religious studies; Fiqh, Hadith, and kitab kuning—and in daily life. The research also identified several challenges in the learning process, which included internal and external challenges. As for the internal such as boredom, homesick, feeling backwards. As for external challenges such as economics backgrounds, overburdened, and grouping based on grades. The implications of this research suggest a need for pesantren to integrate more modern educational psychology principles into their teaching methods, to better support students’ holistic development. This includes fostering critical thinking, accommodating diverse learning style, and addressing the emotional and motivational needs of students to enhance their overall educational experience.

    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2023) Wiwin Windiana; Didin Syafruddin; Alpha Amirrachman
    This thesis explores the self-actualization of student activists with disabilities within college organizations, addressing the gap in educational participation between disabled and non-disabled students, which becomes more pronounced at higher levels of education. The research highlights the presence of resilient student activists with physical disabilities who actively enrich the university environment by defying societal stigmas and participating in various campus organizations as activists. The research aims to explore how they self-actualize within college. organizations, filling a crucial research gap by examining the connection between self-actualization and students with disabilities in higher education. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The participants are eight students with physical disabilities active in campus organizations, department heads and student association heads from two state Islamic universities. One university was known for its disability-friendly facilities, while the other had room for improvement. Data collection involved two primary methods: observation and interviews. The thesis reveals several key findings regarding student activists with disabilities in college organizations. First, it highlights the determination of these student activists to use their struggles as motivation to assist others with disabilities, as they demonstrate a commitment to addressing the needs of their peers and providing accessible resources. Second, it emphasizes the strength and belief in their abilities displayed by student activists with disabilities, who actively utilize their strengths to support others and challenge preconceptions about their limitations. Active participation in college organizations enhances their communication, socialization, and public speaking skills, contributing to their personal and intellectual growth. The insights shared by participants emphasize the importance of self-actualization to challenge societal stigmas and achieve personal growth. The findings offer valuable insights for future research in the field of disability, self-actualization, and student activism, laying a foundation for exploring the intersectionality of disability with other aspects of identity. Furthermore, the research holds potential to motivate other disabled students by demonstrating that disability does not limit one's potential for personal growth and meaningful contributions to society, thereby offering hope and inspiration for those facing barriers to higher education.

    The single national curriculum : a path to centralized educational reforms in Pakistan
    (Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia, 2023) Numan, Muhammad; Bambang Sumintono; Alpha Amirrachman
    The study employs a qualitative approach, guided by the need to explore and understand the complex interplay of factors that shape the experiences of individuals affected by implementing the SNC. The research design is a qualitative case study, an empirical investigation exploring a current phenomenon in its actual setting. The case study design is helpful for collecting comprehensive, in-depth insights into complicated phenomena where context is crucial. The intellectual foundation of this study is the constructivist paradigm, which is frequently associated with qualitative research. The study reveals a wide range of viewpoints among local stakeholders and the community, representing the complexity and multidimensionality of this essential educational reform. Despite anticipation that the SNC will promote social equality, findings also point to serious concerns about the accessibility of high-quality education, particularly for pupils learning in their native tongues. The study suggests that future research should analyze the SNC's capacity to accept linguistic variety and explore ways to ensure that students from various linguistic backgrounds can benefit equally from the curriculum. Further investigation should also concentrate on the effectiveness of teacher preparation programs created per the SNC. This research hopes to advance the conversation about educational reform in Pakistan, particularly in light of the SNC, and guide future policy choices for efficient and effective implementation of the SNC.
