The urgency of this research stems from the knowledge gap regarding contextual factors contributing to the underuse of learning media in rural elementary schools, which has not been adequately addressed in previous research, which has tended to focus on urban contexts. This study aims to examine teachers' perceptions at Sugayang Public Elementary School regarding the underuse of learning media in the learning process, as well as the factors that contribute to it. The method used was a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing in-depth interviews as a data collection technique. The data were then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques according to Miles and Huberman. The results showed that teachers experienced difficulties in using technology, difficulties in creating learning media, and the perception that using media was time-consuming. This reveals an important pattern that the underuse of learning media is a systematic problem rooted in the TPACK gap that is not supported by practical time management solutions. These findings imply that changes in learning practices will not occur simply through the provision of generic technology tools or training; rather, bottom-up and contextual solutions are needed. The novelty of this research lies in the in-depth qualitative approach applied to the under-researched context of rural elementary schools, which has not been studied before. This research contributes through recommendations for the implementation of a peer-mentoring program and the development of a ready-to-use digital learning media bank, thus offering valuable insights for future research with relevant stakeholders.

This study aims to investigate students' perceptions of Qur'an learning (Tahsin and Tajwid) in improving their Qur'an recitation skills at Madrasah Diniyah Nurul Huda Bangodua, Cirebon. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. The research participants consisted of 10 fourth-grade students and one teacher responsible for Qur'an learning. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students have positive perceptions of Tahsin and Tajwid learning. The learning process helps students improve the pronunciation (makhraj) of Arabic letters, understand the rules of Tajwid, enhance the fluency of Qur'an recitation, and develop greater confidence in reading the Qur'an. Supporting factors contributing to the success of the learning process include the talaqqi method, direct guidance from the teacher, and a conducive learning environment. The challenges faced by students include limited instructional time, difficulty distinguishing certain Tajwid rules, and insufficient practice in reading the Qur'an at home. Overall, Tahsin and Tajwid instruction plays a significant role in improving students' Qur'an recitation skills at Madrasah Diniyah Nurul Huda Bangodua, Cirebon.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis praktik pembelajaran tafsir Al-Qur'an menggunakan bahasa Bali sebagai media instruksional di Desa Pegayaman, Buleleng. Di tengah arus globalisasi yang mengancam eksistensi bahasa daerah, masyarakat Pegayaman menunjukkan resiliensi budaya melalui integrasi nilai-nilai Islam dengan kearifan lokal Bali. Melalui studi kasus pada kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di Masjid Safinatussalam pada 04 April 2026, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana Ustadz Zihni Hasan mentransformasikan pemahaman Surah Al-Baqarah kepada jamaah remaja putri dan ibu-ibu melalui medium bahasa Bali. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan etnopedagogi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan bahasa daerah bukan sekadar alat komunikasi, melainkan strategi "pribumisasi" Islam yang memperkuat identitas "Nyama Selam"( penduduk islam yang telah lama menetap dan mengadopsi budaya bali dalam kehidupan sehari-hari). Penggunaan bahasa ibu terbukti efektif menurunkan hambatan kognitif dan emosional dalam memahami teks suci, sekaligus berfungsi sebagai sarana konservasi bahasa daerah. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya pendidikan agama Islam berbasis budaya sebagai model moderasi beragama di Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze in-depth cognitive learning theory and its implications for improving the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching at the elementary school level. The adopted methodological approach is qualitative through library research, with the application of content analysis and theoretical synthesis techniques. Primary data sources were obtained from academic literature including textbooks, scientific journals, and the latest empirical research relevant within the last decade. The results of the analysis indicate that cognitive learning theory positions cognitive processes as the core of learning activities, allowing students to function as active agents in constructing knowledge through understanding, analysis, memory representation, and integration with pre-existing cognitive schemas. In the context of PAI, this approach enables meaningful learning through interactive pedagogical strategies such as collaborative discussions, problem-solving, case studies, and metacognitive reflection, which are empirically adapted to the stages of students' cognitive development. The implementation of cognitive theory significantly contributes to strengthening conceptual understanding, increasing learning engagement, developing critical thinking skills, transferring knowledge, and internalizing Islamic values. Thus, cognitive learning theory makes a substantial contribution to optimizing the effectiveness of PAI teaching in elementary schools through an interactive, systematic, and understanding-oriented approach.
