This study aims to conduct an in-depth study of various effective classroom management strategies at the elementary school level. Classroom management plays a crucial role in supporting the smooth running of the teaching and learning process, as a successful learning process is greatly influenced by a conducive, orderly, and enjoyable classroom environment. Teachers serve not only as transmitters of material but also as classroom managers tasked with creating a learning climate that supports active student engagement. Good classroom management is believed to minimize disruptions, improve discipline, and foster student motivation. The research method used is library research, reviewing various academic sources such as books, scientific articles, research journals, and relevant previous studies. This approach was chosen to obtain a comprehensive overview of classroom management strategies that have been proven effective in educational practice in elementary schools. The results of the study indicate that effective classroom management strategies encompass several key aspects. First, the development of clear and mutually agreed-upon classroom rules so that students understand the boundaries of expected behavior. Second, the use of varied learning methods to accommodate different student learning styles. Third, the provision of positive reinforcement as a form of appreciation for student behavior and achievement. Fourth, establish good communication between teachers and students to build mutual trust and increase active participation. Implementing these strategies has been proven to improve discipline, reduce learning barriers, and create a classroom environment conducive to the optimal development of children's potential. These findings are expected to serve as a practical reference for teachers, schools, and related parties in designing more effective, innovative, and sustainable classroom management.

The study aims to analyze the relationship between learning discipline and students' critical thinking abilities in math learning. A quantitative approach with correlational survey methods is used in this study. Sample of 44 junior high school students selected through simple random sampling technique. Instruments used as lamps to measure learning discipline and tests to measure critical thinking ability. Data analysis was performed through Liliefors normality testing, Pearson correlation testing, and simple linear regression. The normality test results show that discipline learning data is normally distributed (Lo = 0.0995 < Ltable = 0.133), whereas critical thinking data is not normally distributed (Lo = 0.2266 > Ltable = 0.133). The correlation test results show the value of r = 0.211 and thitung = 1.423 < ttable = 1.683, meaning there is no significant relationship between learning discipline and critical thinking ability. The regression results also show the value of Fhitung = 2.15 < Ftabel = 4.08, which means there is no significant influence between learning discipline on critical thinking ability. Thus, that learning discipline does not affect significantly on students' critical thinking ability in math learning. This results in a more comprehensive learning approach to develop critical thinking skills.

This study aims to examine in depth the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping the character and ethics of students at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Hikmah, Ciruas, Serang, Banten. Amidst the challenges of globalization and modernization that bring changes in values and behavior, PAI plays a strategic role in instilling moral, spiritual, and social values in students. Religious education not only teaches religious knowledge but also shapes attitudes, behaviors, and mindsets in accordance with Islamic teachings, enabling students to cope with diverse environmental influences. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Research informants consisted of PAI teachers, students, the principal, and homeroom teachers, thus obtaining a comprehensive picture of the implementation of PAI at the madrasah. The results show that PAI makes a significant contribution to the formation of student character, particularly in aspects of religiosity, discipline, responsibility, honesty, tolerance, and courtesy. Learning strategies used include habituating worship, teacher role models, enforcing school rules, and integrating Islamic values into all subjects. Additionally, extracurricular activities such as religious study groups, Islamic holiday commemorations, and Quran memorization programs are also effective tools for strengthening students' character. However, this study also identified several challenges, including low parental involvement in children's character development, negative environmental influences, and limited variety of learning methods. Therefore, synergy between madrasahs, families, and the community is needed to create an educational ecosystem that supports comprehensive and sustainable character development. Through this collaboration, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is expected to provide a strong foundation for creating a generation with noble character and competitiveness in the modern era.

Education is a conscious and structured effort aimed at creating an environment and process that actively facilitates learners in developing their full potential. This includes nurturing their spiritual and moral values, self-control, intelligence, strong character, and essential life skills required for personal development and meaningful contributions to society, the nation, and the global community. At its core, education serves to empower students to realize and utilize their capabilities for future life challenges. It acts as a foundational medium through which younger generations acquire essential life skills, enabling them to integrate effectively into society. Moreover, education plays a pivotal role not only in the personal growth of individuals but also in the advancement of a nation. High-quality education is defined by its capacity to equip students with the competence to confront and resolve real-world problems. This notion becomes increasingly critical as learners transition from academic settings to the workforce and community life, where they are expected to apply their knowledge and skills practically. However, the success or failure of educational outcomes is largely determined by the curriculum. A well-designed curriculum should cultivate critical awareness and empower students to navigate complex social and professional environments. It should also promote creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, which are essential skills in today’s rapidly changing world. Furthermore, education should not be viewed merely as a means to acquire knowledge but as a holistic process that fosters emotional intelligence and social responsibility. By integrating various disciplines and encouraging interdisciplinary learning, education can help students develop a broader perspective on global issues, such as climate change, social justice, and economic inequality. In addition, the role of educators is crucial in this process.

This study aims to describe the strengthening of Muslim personality values through thematic learning at Bahrul Maghfiroh Kindergarten, Malang City. The background of this research departs from the importance of character education from an early age, especially in shaping Muslim personalities that reflect Islamic values. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of the study include principals, classroom teachers, and students. The results of the study show that strengthening Muslim personality values is carried out through three main strategies: (1) the integration of Islamic values such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and care in the thematic Learning Implementation Plan (RPP); (2) the habit of daily worship such as dhuha prayers, recitals of the Qur'an, and joint prayers; and (3) the implementation of collaborative learning that emphasizes cooperation and empathy between students. Quantitative data showed that 85% of students experienced an increase in discipline, 78% an increase in honesty, and an 82% increase in social awareness. Supporting factors for the success of strengthening these values include the commitment of teachers in implementing Islamic values and religious culture that have been embedded in the school environment. The obstacles faced include limited learning time and lack of teacher training in the development of value-based thematic methods. This study concludes that thematic learning is effective in shaping early childhood Muslim personality holistically and contextually.

This study investigates the implementation of the discovery learning model to enhance the learning independence of Grade V students in the IPAS subject at MIS Nurul Yaqin. The problem arises from limited learning facilities, which reduce opportunities for activities that stimulate creativity, as well as students’ limited ability to recognize and describe shapes and colors in detail. This Classroom Action Research applied the Kemmis and McTaggart model with Grade V students as the research subjects. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed descriptively in both quantitative and qualitative forms. The results show that Discovery Learning effectively improved students’ independence in learning. Through its exploratory approach, students actively engaged in questioning, observing, experimenting, and drawing conclusions in meaningful activities. Improvements were noted in self-confidence, task discipline, initiative in managing learning, motivation to understand material, and responsibility for outcomes. Active participation at each stage—from problem formulation to reflection—enhanced mastery of the properties of light and their applications, while also fostering critical, creative, and responsible learning behavior. Furthermore, the study found that the implementation of Discovery Learning encouraged collaborative interaction among students, allowing them to share ideas, test hypotheses, and provide peer feedback. This created a more student-centered learning atmosphere, shifting the focus from teacher instruction to student exploration. Quantitative results showed that student independence increased significantly, with success rates rising from 47.80% in Cycle I, when learning was still teacher-centered, to 84.76% in Cycle II, as students became more actively engaged both physically and mentally. These findings highlight the importance of using student-centered approaches such as Discovery Learning to develop independence, critical thinking, and motivation. The model not only supported better academic outcomes but also prepared students with essential lifelong learning skills that can be applied across subjects and in real-life problem solving.

Reflection : Islamic Education Journal 2025 Asosiasi Riset Ilmu Pendidikan Agama dan Filsafat Indonesia

The phenomenon of bullying that occurs in the pesantren environment is not only a social problem, but also reflects a crisis in the internalization of Islamic educational values. This study aims to examine the dynamics of bullying in Islamic boarding schools from a psychosocial perspective and Islamic educational values. With a literature study approach and qualitative content analysis, this study explores various theories, empirical findings, and expert views obtained from relevant journals, books, and scientific works. The results of the study show that the practice of bullying in pesantren often stems from power relations that are institutionalized through the hierarchy structure of seniority, as well as weak supervision of the process of internalizing Islamic values among students. The values of Islamic ukhuwah, justice, and compassion that should be the spirit of Islamic education are often eroded by a culture of silence, neglect, or even the wrong perception that bullying is part of discipline. In fact, the concept of Islamic education not only emphasizes the mastery of the knowledge of tools (tsaqafah), but also the formation of intellect ('aqliyah), soul (nafsiyah), and Islamic personality (syakhsiyah Islamiyah) based on a strong aqidah. Bullying prevention requires deeper Islamic character education, strengthening social control, and psychosocial approaches to maintain mental and spiritual balance of students. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of a holistic and civilized pesantren management strategy, by fostering an anti-bullying culture, creating a safe, harmonious, and harmonious learning environment that is in line with the main goals of Islamic education. Thus, pesantren are expected to be able to form students who are not only intellectually intelligent, but also have noble morals, high social spirit, empathy, and have a strong Islamic personality and full of integrity.
