This research is motivated by the persistent gap between the ideals of Islamic education and their implementation in practice, which has not yet fully reflected humanitarian values. This condition indicates that the educational process still requires renewal in order to achieve the objectives of Islamic education more optimally. The study aims to examine the concept and implementation of humanism in the philosophy of Islamic education. The method employed is library research, involving the review of various scholarly sources, including books and journal articles relevant to the topic. The findings reveal that Islamic education fundamentally possesses a strong humanistic foundation in developing individuals holistically through the integration of intellectual, moral, and spiritual dimensions. However, current educational practices continue to face several challenges, such as teacher-centered learning, the tendency toward pragmatic educational orientations, and the suboptimal integration of moral and spiritual values. Therefore, more adaptive and human-oriented educational reforms are needed to enable Islamic education to respond effectively to contemporary challenges.

Usability evaluation plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of digital systems, particularly in terms of comfort, effectiveness, and ease of use. Instruments such as the System Usability Scale (SUS), User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), and Heuristic Evaluation (HE) are widely used in modern usability studies. This research conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify patterns and trends in the use of these instruments. A total of 27 initial studies were collected, and 16 were selected through the PRISMA screening procedure. The findings show that UEQ is the most frequently used instrument, especially in Learning Management Systems (LMS) and academic platforms, while SUS is commonly applied to mobile applications and digital libraries for rapid usability assessment. HE is effective in revealing fundamental interface issues such as non-intuitive navigation and layout inconsistencies. Overall, digital systems perform well in Efficiency and Perspicuity, but consistently show low scores in Novelty. This study provides an integrative knowledge map that highlights cross-instrument insights and supports the development of more intuitive, innovative, and user-centered digital systems

Abstract. This study aims to describe students’ motivation toward online learning at Universitas Negeri Medan and to identify the underlying reasons for such motivation. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design, utilizing the ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) motivational model and Expectancy-Value Theory as the theoretical frameworks. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 34 English Education students and semi-structured interviews with 5 purposively selected participants. The results indicated that all four components of the ARCS model were in the moderate category, with mean scores of 3.16 for Attention, 3.29 for Relevance, 3.20 for Confidence and 3.20 for Satisfaction. While students appreciated the flexibility and accessibility of online materials (high utility value), they frequently experienced boredom and mental fatigue due to limited social interaction and the "artificial" nature of screen based learning (high cost and low intrinsic value). The study concludes that students remain motivated primarily due to professional aspirations rather than engaging instructional designs. These findings suggest that educators should implement more interactive strategies to enhance student engagement in digital environments.

These findings highlight the importance of consistent stimulation, collaborative care, and structured therapeutic programs in improving expressive language skills in institutionalized children with speech delay.

This study aims to analyze the history of Islamic education management in Indonesia during the Dutch colonial period, identify colonial policies that restricted Islamic education development, and describe the adaptive and resistant responses of Muslim scholars and educational institutions. The study also aims to explain the roles of pesantren and madrasah as institutions that not only survived but underwent significant transformation due to colonial pressures, and to reveal the historical contribution of colonial-era Islamic education management as a foundation for post-independence Islamic education. Using a qualitative literature review method with sources primarily published between 2021 and 2026, this study finds that colonial pressures through the Teacher Ordinance and Wild Schools Ordinance paradoxically spurred innovations in the form of modern madrasahs integrating religious and general knowledge. Organizations such as Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama strengthened this educational transformation, making Islamic education not merely a vehicle for religious learning but an instrument of cultural resistance, national consciousness-building, and evidence of Muslim resilience in facing historical challenges.

Arabic language instruction in various educational institutions today is still dominated by the structuralist paradigm, which emphasizes the mechanical memorization of patterns and repetition without addressing aspects of linguistic creativity. This study aims to explore the essence of Generative-Transformational Linguistic Theory proposed by Noam Chomsky and to formulate innovative ways to implement it in Arabic language learning. The approach taken in this study is qualitative, specifically a literature review (library research). Data were collected through primary and secondary literature, which were then examined using content analysis methods through the steps of simplification., categorization, and interpretation. The research findings indicate that Generative-Transformative Theory shifts the focus of learning from imitation to creation through the use of the Language Acquisition Device (LAD). Through the dichotomy of deep structure and surface structure, students are guided to perform various transformational operations such as substitution (al-ibdal), expansion (al-ittisa’), elision (al-hadzf), and addition (al-ziyadah). This principle is also found to align with the classical linguist Ibn Jinni’s thoughts on the concepts of Asl and Furu’. This research suggests that teachers of grammar and word structure should change how they teach strategies into a cognitive-creative process that enables students to independently and authentically generate an unlimited number of new utterances.
