Student learning activeness is an important component in achieving effective learning outcomes. However, many classroom learning processes still tend to be teacher-centered, resulting in low student participation. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Family 100 Quiz Game in improving students' learning activeness in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning among eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Tambakboyo. This research used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with the Kemmis and McTaggart model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research was conducted in two cycles involving 38 students. Data were collected through observation sheets, field notes, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques by calculating the percentage of student learning activeness. The results showed that the implementation of the Family 100 Quiz Game was able to increase student learning activeness. The average percentage of learning activeness increased from 65% in cycle I to 86% in cycle II. The findings indicate that game-based learning strategies can create a more interactive, collaborative, and enjoyable learning environment. Therefore, the Family 100 Quiz Game can be used as an innovative learning strategy to improve student participation in Islamic Religious Education learning.

Curriculum management is a strategic component of Islamic education because it plays an important role in achieving educational objectives and internalizing Islamic values within the learning process. Nevertheless, in practice, many schools continue to face managerial challenges in implementing the curriculum effectively. This study aims to evaluate curriculum management at MTs Persis 23 Cirengit based on the core functions of Islamic Educational Management, namely Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling (POAC). The research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis, and were analyzed using an interactive analysis model. The findings reveal that the POAC functions have been formally applied but have not yet operated as an integrated managerial cycle oriented toward continuous quality improvement. Curriculum planning remains largely procedural, organizing is not sufficiently participatory, implementation depends heavily on individual teacher capacity, and supervision is mostly administrative with limited follow-up actions.

This study aims to describe the implementation of an active learning model based on collaboration to improve students’ conceptual understanding in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). The background of this research stems from the low level of student engagement in the learning process, which has resulted in less optimal understanding of religious concepts. The research employed a qualitative approach with a classroom action research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles. The subjects were eleventh-grade students at a senior high school in City X. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and conceptual understanding tests. The findings revealed that the implementation of the collaborative active learning model increased students’ participation in learning activities, fostered critical thinking skills, and enhanced their conceptual understanding of Islamic Education materials. Through group discussions, problem-solving activities, and reflection sessions, students became more cognitively and affectively engaged in the learning process. Therefore, the collaborative active learning model can serve as an effective alternative strategy to improve both the process and outcomes of Islamic Religious Education learning.

Learning outcomes refer to the abilities that students possess after undergoing learning experiences, including their understanding and knowledge. This study examines the improvement of learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) by implementing differentiated instruction on the topic of Faith in the Messengers of Allah in Grade IV of SD Negeri 8 Limboto Barat, Gorontalo Regency. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR). Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation using research instruments such as teacher activity observation sheets, student activity observation sheets, tests, and student learning outcome sheets. The data analysis technique followed the procedures of classroom action research, employing both descriptive and quantitative analysis. The results of this study show that the implementation of differentiated instruction improved students' learning outcomes in the PAI subject on the topic of Faith in the Messengers of Allah. This improvement can be seen in the increase in teacher activity, which rose from 69% in Cycle I to 100% in Cycle II. Similarly, student learning activity increased from 56% in Cycle I to 83% in Cycle II. Student learning outcomes in PAI also improved significantly.

This increased to 14 students (70%) in Cycle I with an average mastery score of 78.00, and further improved in Cycle II, with 19 students (95%) achieving mastery and an average score of 85.00.

Quality culture in educational institutions has become a strategic issue to improve learning service quality and school accountability. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as limited human resources, resistance to change, and weak sustainable quality management strategies. This study aims to answer the question: how are the implementation strategies and supporting factors in strengthening quality culture within educational institutions based on previous research findings? This study employs a Literature Review (LR) method by collecting scientific articles from Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) using the keyword “budaya mutu” (quality culture) with a publication range from 2020 to 2025. From a total of 30 identified articles, a screening and eligibility process was conducted, resulting in 5 main articles analyzed thematically. The synthesis reveals three key themes: (1) the role of leadership and Total Quality Management (TQM) in reinforcing quality culture, (2) the application of the PPEPP/MBBS cycle for sustainable educational quality, and (3) supporting factors and challenges in developing a culture of quality. In conclusion, strengthening quality culture requires effective leadership, systematic management strategies, and cross-sector collaboration; future research is encouraged to develop field-based intervention models to test the effectiveness of quality culture strategies.
