Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a crucial role in fostering good morals in students, enabling them to develop Islamic character and face the challenges of the times with strong spiritual values. However, the implementation of PAI teaching in the field often still prioritizes traditional lecture methods, which lead to less student participation, boredom, and less than satisfactory learning outcomes. This small study aims to explore the PAI learning models and strategies implemented by teachers at the Al-Hidayah Foundation, the challenges they face, and their impact on students. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method through in-depth interviews with PAI teachers. The results revealed that teachers have begun to integrate lecture methods with more innovative learning strategies such as contextual, cooperative, and technology-based, although their implementation has not always been consistent. The main challenges faced include limited infrastructure, a lack of professional training for teachers, and low learning motivation among some students. The visible impact is increased student engagement in the learning process when innovative strategies are implemented, although their effectiveness still needs to be strengthened with support from the institution and parents. Therefore, the Islamic Religious Education teachers at the Al-Hidayah Foundation not only function as teachers, but also as motivators and facilitators in the learning process to ensure that the goals of Islamic education can be achieved properly.

The development of information technology is very important in the world of education. Education taught in Islamic boarding schools is no exception. A teacher at an Islamic boarding school also needs to master technology in the field of multimedia in providing learning videos. This is done in order to help teachers deliver material in a more interesting way to their students. Therefore, a workshop on using Filmora as an alternative for making learning videos is needed. The methods used in this service activity are survey activities, preparation stage, implementation stage, and evaluation stage. The results obtained from this workshop activity were an increase in the abilities of the teachers at the Ar-Rayyan Islamic boarding school. Previously only around 30% of teachers were able to make learning videos, after the workshop was held there are now 85% of teachers who can use technology to make learning videos. Apart from that, the results of the questionnaire analysis distributed to the participants also obtained an average score of 4.1 which is in the good category. The participants (teachers) at the Ar-Rayyan Islamic Boarding School were very enthusiastic in taking part in the workshop activities that had been carried out.

This study aims to determine the influence of tourist experience, service quality, and tourist attractions on revisit intention in Pancoh Ecotourism Village. This village is one of the developing ecotourism-based tourist destinations in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and attracts tourists through its unique nature and local culture. The research sample consisted of 100 respondents selected using a non-probability sampling technique with a purposive sampling approach, namely tourists who have visited Pancoh Ecotourism Village. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires, then analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) method with the WarpPLS application version 8.0 to test the relationship between variables. The results showed that the variables of service quality and tourist attractions have a positive and significant effect on revisit intention. This indicates that improving service quality, such as friendliness, accuracy, and comfort, as well as the development of tourist attractions in the form of natural beauty, local culture, and supporting facilities can encourage tourists to revisit. However, the variable of tourist experience did not have a significant effect on revisit intention, which means that individual experience is not yet a major determining factor in influencing tourist decisions. These findings emphasize the importance of a destination management strategy that focuses on improving the quality of services and tourist attractions to strengthen the sustainability of Pancoh Ecotourism Village.
