This research aims to measure the influence of dependence on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) applications on the learning effectiveness of Islamic Education Management students. Using quantitative research methods, data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 150 students at several universities. Data analysis was carried out using a simple linear regression test to determine the correlation between the dependency variable on AI applications (X) and learning effectiveness (Y). The research results show that 78% of respondents use AI applications in their daily learning activities, with 65% of them feeling more efficient in accessing information. However, there are 40% of students who show decreased motivation for independent learning due to dependence on AI applications. The results of the regression test show that there is a significant positive correlation between the use of AI applications and learning effectiveness with a correlation coefficient of 0.52 and a significance of p < 0.05. These findings indicate that the use of AI plays an important role in increasing learning effectiveness, but also has the potential to reduce motivation for independent learning. It is hoped that the use of AI will be accompanied by learning strategies that support student independence and critical thinking.

This research aims to determine the professional competence of teachers on student learning achievement at Al-Ulum Terpadu Islamic Middle School, Medan. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive method using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The population in this study was 32 teachers, so the sample size in this study was 32 teachers, because the population was less than 100, based on Suharsimi Arikunto's opinion, the entire population was used (population study). The main data collection technique uses a 5 Likert scale answer choice form. Data is analyzed using simple linear regression to test the research hypothesis. Based on the data processing carried out, statistical testing resulted in Ho being rejected and Ha being accepted, which explains that there is an influence of teacher professional competence on student learning achievement. This is obtained from the results of the F test which shows Fcount is 19.072 and Ftable = (k-1; nk) namely (2-1; 32-2) = (1;30) = 4.17, so the value of Fcount > Ftable is 19.072 > 4.17 with a sig value. 0.001 < 0.05 which means there is an influence of teacher professional competence on student learning achievement in the F statistical significance test. Apart from that, a simple linear regression test was carried out to obtain the regression equation Y' = 105.683 – 1.44 1.44. However, if the teacher's professional competency value is 105.683 when X is 0, then student learning achievement will decrease by 0.144 for every one unit increase in %. Meanwhile, the remaining 61.1% is explained by other variables not studied.

Education is an activity that helps people talk about what they already know in order to broaden their understanding of life's fundamentals. The foundations or principles that guide one's life, particularly those derived from religious ideals, are crucial for governing and enhancing the system of life. Based on observations made by the author at Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School, it is stated that there is a lack of student focus in learning and students' abilities vary in receiving learning. However, this does not rule out the possibility that students can stimulate learning more quickly. This can be done by training students' thinking through the rote method because the more the brain gets used to it, the more it will be trained and of course it will increase students' intelligence. The level of cognitive intelligence is divided into 3, namely: level of memory and understanding, level of application, level of analysis, evaluation and creativity. By using the rote method so that the level of cognitive development is observed in memory and understanding.Based on the findings of the author's research, the following conclusions can be drawn: 1) The memorization method for teaching PAI at Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School is in the good category, the level of cognitive intelligence of Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School students is known to be in the good category and level Student memorization based on memorization scores in PAI learning subjects is in the very good category. 2) hypothesis testing based on the t value, the predetermined value of tcount > ttable, namely 2.867 > 1.69389, while based on the significance value of 0.008 < 0.05, it is concluded that the rote method variable (X) has an effect on the cognitive intelligence variable (Y). simple linear regression (11.151 + 0.363 determination is 0.215, which means it has a positive influence of 21.5% and 78.5% is influenced by other factors that are not yet known by researchers. 3) Supporting factors in the memorization method for students' cognitive intelligence at Takhassus Al-Qur'an Middle School, namely using Mr. Abdurrahman al Asy'ari's method which is practiced in the tahfidz class using a special Al-Qur'an, level of perseverance, consistency in training, environment learning, and student concentration during the learning process.

The problem in this study is the importance of understanding the nature of the object of education from the perspective of Islamic education. In general, the object of education is often understood as just a human who needs learning. But in Islamic education, the object of education is not just individual humans, but more than that.
