This research focuses on improving the learning outcomes of class VII students in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects, especially in prayer and dhikr material, which often experience obstacles due to ineffective conventional teaching methods. To overcome this problem, research was carried out using the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method involving 30 students, carried out in two cycles with planning, implementation, observation and reflection stages.

Education plays a crucial role in optimally developing and directing students' potential. In the current educational context, learning outcomes are assessed based on students' abilities to solve problems, reason, communicate, and demonstrate knowledge and attitudes. However, preliminary studies at MAN 1 Banjarmasin revealed that only 62.85% of the XI Agama class students met the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) of 75 in Fiqh subjects, while the rest failed. This study aimed to improve learning outcomes in the topic of Mawaris by using an Android-based learning media, the "Kalkulator Waris" application. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted through two cycles following the model proposed by Arikunto, comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. In the first cycle, the average student score was 73.63 with a 62.85% success rate. After refining the learning process, the second cycle showed significant improvement: the average score rose to 88.17, and all students (100%) achieved mastery. The use of the "Kalkulator Waris" application facilitated students’ understanding of complex inheritance calculations, enhanced learning engagement, and fostered a more active, creative, and problem-solving learning environment. The findings suggest that appropriate use of Android-based educational applications can significantly enhance learning outcomes, particularly in complex subjects like Islamic inheritance law.

  The essentialist school of philosophy is a school of philosophy that wants humans to return to their old culture. The emergence of this ideology was a reaction to the absolute and dogmatic symbolism of the Middle Ages. In this way, a systematic and comprehensive concept regarding humans and the universe is formed that is in accordance with the needs of the times. This essentialism assumes that education based on the core belief in flexibility in all its forms can produce views that are easily changed, easily swayed, directionless, and less stable. Therefore, education must be based on values that are stable, proven, long-term, and have values that enable a country's education to remain stable and focused. The aim of the essentialist educational philosophy is to improve the character of society through existing cultural heritage, so that later students can contribute to improving social life in the face of changing times that can damage character values. The purpose of this paper is to examine the philosophy of essentialism from the perspective of Islamic education using library research methods. Based on the research results, it is stated that essentialist schools have a view of the field of education, namely educational goals, educational curriculum, educators, students and the environment. Apart from that, there are several views that can be used as measuring tools and should be taken seriously. These are the ontological view, epistemological view and axiomatic view.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) presents new challenges and opportunities in various fields, including in Christian religious education. This article discusses how Christian Religious Education (PAK) and its curriculum can respond to the dynamics presented by AI technology. This article uses a descriptive qualitative method based on literature and scientific journals. The main sources of this research are taken from various literature and scientific journals that are relevant to the research topic.

This study aims to determine the application of the Education Management Information System (EMIS) in Islamic boarding schools that can be utilized in decision making in the Early Education and Islamic Boarding School Section of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Palangka Raya City. This research is a qualitative research, data collection techniques are done by observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. This research consists of 4 components, namely the human resource component by measuring internal factors consisting of attitude, skills, and knowledge, where the three benchmarks are sufficiently fulfilled. External factors of human resources with the first indicator of work tools (tools) have not been maximized. Second, work support resources include adequate funds and supporting infrastructure, third, coworkers are quite good in implementation. The minimum hardware requirements are PC/laptop, router, printer, and electricity network. The hardware resource component is still found to be not fully supportive and adequate. The software resource component, in terms of processes and computer programs that support EMIS, is quite well implemented. Data resources in the application of EMIS are seen from 3 sub-indicators, namely data categories, timeliness of data collection, and rules in the data collection process where the three elements are quite well done by EMIS operators. Supporting factors that support the implementation of EMIS consist of first, the role of the leadership by coordinating the implementation of EMIS.

This study examines the effectiveness of three integration-interconnection models in Islamic Religious Education (PAI): the Tree of Knowledge Model, the Spider Web Model, and the Twin Towers Model. These models are designed to bridge religious knowledge and general sciences, enriching a holistic approach in Islamic education. The Tree of Knowledge Model positions religious values as the ethical foundation for all disciplines, integrating faith as the basis for understanding general knowledge. The Spider Web Model envisions education as an interconnected, interdisciplinary network, enhancing students' ability to perceive connections across various fields. The Twin Towers Model balances the roles of religious and general sciences, promoting moderation and openness among students. The study findings suggest that these models help reduce the dichotomy between religious and secular sciences and assist students in developing a comprehensive and relevant understanding of both disciplines. The study recommends adopting these models into the PAI curriculum, providing comprehensive teacher training, and developing integrated learning modules to prepare Islamic education students to face contemporary social and scientific challenges with critical thinking and a strong ethical foundation.

Religious pluralism in Indonesia requires every religious community to live side by side with different beliefs. In the midst of this situation, Christian Religious Education (PAK) has a strategic role in strengthening the Christian faith, helping people to face the challenges of pluralism with strong understanding and belief.

Through inclusive learning methods, such as Bible study, interreligious dialogue, and character formation, PAK helps Christians understand their faith identity in depth and foster wise and loving attitudes towards followers of other religions. Therefore, PAK contributes to producing Christians who are firm in their beliefs, compassionate, and able to live in harmony in a religious society.
