in Indonesian language books for fifth grade elementary school students based on the book eligibility standards set by the National Education Standards Agency (BSNP). This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a document analysis method on components such as the title page, foreword, table of contents, glossary, index, bibliography, and author profile. The results of the study indicate that in general the book has met the eligibility standards in terms of presentation structure, language, and graphics. However, several weaknesses were still found, such as inconsistencies in spelling, inconsistencies in page numbers in the table of contents, the use of sentences that are too complex for the level of understanding of elementary school students, and the lack of supporting visualizations in the post-content section. In addition, the author profile and bibliography do not show relevant and up-to-date sources. These findings emphasize the importance of attention to the pre-content and post-content sections so that textbooks not only meet the core material aspects but also support the effectiveness of learning in line with the principles of the Independent Curriculum.

Aprilia Anis Santrika — 2025-11-23

This study aims to analyze the influence of innovative teaching methods and reading interest on students' learning outcomes in the Aqidah Akhlak subject at MTs Ma’arif 017 Kalikuning. The background of the research is based on the low student achievement, which is influenced by conventional teaching approaches and a lack of reading interest. This research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory method and an associative correlational design. The sample consists of all eighth-grade students, totaling 60 participants, selected through total sampling. The instruments used include a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure students’ perceptions of teaching methods and reading interest, along with documentation of their academic achievement. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS. The findings reveal that both innovative teaching methods and reading interest have a positive and significant effect on students’ learning outcomes, both partially and simultaneously. Partially, innovative teaching methods have a significant influence with a t-value of 2.491 and a significance level of 0.016, while reading interest shows a stronger effect with a t-value of 5.920 and a significance level of 0.000. The F-test result shows an F-value of 24.353 (sig. 0.000), indicating a significant simultaneous influence. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.479, meaning that the two independent variables explain 47.9% of the variation in learning outcomes. This study highlights the importance of innovative pedagogical approaches and the strengthening of a literacy culture in enhancing the effectiveness of Aqidah Akhlak learning. Teachers are encouraged to continuously develop creative teaching strategies and foster students’ reading interest through a supportive learning environment. Future studies may consider additional variables such as family support or the integration of digital technology.

Islamic Religious Education Teachers' Strategies in Dealing with the Brain Rot Phenomenon in Students

Ryan Prawoko — 2025-11-23

The phenomenon of brainrot as a form of degradation of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor functions due to excessive consumption of instant and superficial digital content has become a serious challenge in the world of education. This study aims to explore the strategies of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in dealing with the phenomenon of brainrot in students of SMK Ma'arif Sudimoro. This study uses a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, which were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana analysis techniques. The results of the study show that Islamic Religious Education teachers apply three main strategies, namely: (1) contextual learning that relates PAI material to digital phenomena that are close to students' daily lives; (2) group discussion strategies that encourage active participation and critical thinking of students; and (3) a reflective-spiritual approach that fosters self-awareness and religious values through contemplation and spiritual experience. Although this strategy is effective in increasing student engagement and instilling religious values, its implementation is faced with a number of challenges, including low student focus, resistance to reflective values, and reliance on instant culture. Teachers respond to these challenges by innovating learning media, sharing roles in discussions, and strengthening digital-based reflection methods. This study concludes that adaptive, relevant, and spiritual value-based learning strategies can be a solution to minimize the impact of brainrot, while strengthening students' religious character in the digital era and is expected to be a contextual and transformative reference.
