Abstract This study aims to analyze the level of digital literacy among students of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) study program at State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) and its implications for the quality of their understanding of fiqh al-ibadah. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques comprising comprehensive literature study and analysis of student digital behavior trends, this research identifies two poles interacting dynamically: on one hand, the expansion of access to religious content through digital platforms has opened unprecedented opportunities for democratizing Islamic jurisprudence knowledge; on the other, the tendency toward instant content consumption potentially reduces depth of understanding of ijtihad methodology and classical fiqh epistemology. Findings indicate that PAI students generally possess adequate technical digital skills, yet remain weak in the critical literacy dimension namely the ability to evaluate the validity, authority, and religious context of digital sources. This phenomenon produces a literacy paradox: students who appear "digitally literate" operationally are paradoxically vulnerable to fragmented and superficial fiqh understanding. This study recommends integrating critical digital literacy education into the PAI curriculum at PTKIN  not as an elective add-on, but as a core competency embedded inseparably within the broader process of fiqh learning. Only through this approach can PAI students leverage digital platforms optimally as tools that strengthen, rather than replace, the structured and methodological tradition of Islamic scholarship

This community service activity aims to improve the competency of Regional Apparatus Work Unit (SKPD) personnel in preparing monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual financial statements in accordance with Government Accounting Standards (SAP). This activity uses a participatory approach through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving 95 participants consisting of Financial Administration Officers and expenditure treasurers from various SKPDs in the Semarang City Government. The evaluation indicators included participant participation, improvement of understanding, identification of reporting problems, and formulation of follow-up actions. The finding, based on the results of the post-test, an average of 80% of participants showed improvement, particularly in account classification, transaction recording, and periodic report preparation. The FGD identified four major issues: limited mastery of financial information systems, data input errors, insufficient competent human resources, and weak inter-unit coordination causing delays in report submission. As post-FGD outcomes, participants agreed on the need for continuous technical training, standardized operating procedures, optimization of information system integration, and the establishment of a reporting coordination forum. These results provide evidence that FGD was effective not only in evaluating participants’ competencies but also in generating practical solutions to enhance transparent and accountable regional financial governance.

This activity was carried out in the form of a training program for the development of paripurna mosque imams across Pekanbaru City, focusing on improving the competencies of imams in both religious practices and the understanding of Islamic economics. The background of this activity is based on the existing gaps in imam quality, the lack of integrated training programs, and the increasing demands placed on the role of imams in society. The methods used in this program included observation, interviews, and the implementation of direct training sessions in mosques. The results of the activity indicate an improvement in participants’ understanding of the strategic role of imams as well as their literacy in Islamic economics. In addition, this program also strengthened the role of mosques as centers of worship, education, social engagement, and community-based economic development.This activity is expected to serve as an initial step toward developing professional, ethical, and competent mosque imams who are capable of addressing the challenges of modern society.

Islamic education in this era of disruption faces a double challenge: the demand for complex professional competencies and the moral degradation of students. Law No. 14 of 2005 has established four pillars of teacher competency, but this framework is often interpreted administratively and has not touched on the deeper ethical-spiritual foundations. This study aims to revitalize the concept of teacher competency by synthesizing the values of adab mu'allim from the book At-Tibyan by Imam An-Nawawi into modern teacher competency standards. This study uses a qualitative method with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected through documentation of classical texts and indexed journal articles (2015-2025), then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show a strong overlap between the values of At-Tibyan and the Teacher and Lecturer Law. Personal Competence is strengthened by sincerity and muraqabah; Social Competence is deepened by rifq (gentleness); and Professional Competence is perfected by the concepts of itqan (validation of the chain of transmission of knowledge) and hirshu (fighting spirit). This integration offers a “Complete Teacher” paradigm who is not only technically professional but also has spiritual authority in shaping students' character in the digital age.

Telemedicine is a technology-based healthcare innovation that can improve access and efficiency. The quality of service provided by human resources (HR) plays a crucial role in determining patient satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the influence of HR service quality on patient satisfaction among telemedicine users. The method used was a literature review using a qualitative descriptive approach through analysis of scientific articles from various databases published between 2020 and 2025. The results indicate that HR service quality significantly influences patient satisfaction, particularly through aspects of reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, and effective communication. Patient satisfaction is also influenced by ease of access, time efficiency, and trust in the services provided. However, limitations such as the lack of in-person physical examinations remain a challenge in the implementation of telemedicine. Therefore, improving HR competency, particularly in digital communication and technology utilization, is essential to improving the quality of telemedicine services. Therefore, HR service quality is a key factor in increasing patient satisfaction and the successful development of digital healthcare services.

Digitalization in the healthcare sector is a strategic step to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and service quality.

Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). Findings: The results indicate that nurse competence, social influence, and usability significantly affect the actual use of EMR. Additionally, perceived ease of use mediates these relationships, enhancing the adoption and utilization of EMR systems. Implications: The managerial implications of this study include the need to enhance nurse competency training, strengthen social support in the workplace, and improve the usability of the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system to encourage more optimal use. This study also contributes to the development of literature on health information technology implementation by integrating human, social, and technical factors into the analytical model.

Abstract: The digital era demands that every individual possess visual literacy competencies, but in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), access to technology is often limited to maintain focus on worship. The main problem at the Salafiyah Al-Furqon Islamic Boarding School in Sawangan, Magelang Regency, is the digital skills gap among 12th-grade students. This is caused by the boarding school's policy of only allowing mobile phone use during semester breaks, leaving students lacking practical multimedia skills prior to graduation. This community service activity aims to provide a solution through basic photography and videography training as a soft skill for alumni independence. The method used is a workshop that combines theoretical explanations and direct practice (experiential learning). The results of this activity show a significant increase in students' technical competency; participants are able to operate smartphone cameras with stable shooting techniques, understand the principles of visual composition (such as the rule of thirds and leading lines), and are able to perform basic video editing using mobile-based software applications. Through this training, Islamic boarding school graduates are expected to become individuals who are adaptive to technological developments and able to utilize visual media as a means of creative economics and digital da'wah after graduation.

Human resource management (HRM) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of da’wah programs in mosques. This study aims to analyze the implementation of HRM in managing da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar, as well as to identify obstacles and solutions to improve the effectiveness of da’wah activities. The research used a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Informants consisted of mosque administrators, preachers (da’i), and active congregants. The results showed that HRM in the da’wah programs already has a fairly clear organizational structure, but several aspects still need improvement. The recruitment of preachers is still conducted informally without clear competency standards, and there are no specialized training programs for preachers. Congregational participation also remains fluctuating. Another weakness is the minimal use of technology in disseminating da’wah information, as promotion is still carried out conventionally without optimizing digital platforms. In addition, limited funding and the lack of professional management personnel are major challenges. Solutions that can be implemented include improving preacher recruitment and training systems, utilizing technology in da’wah dissemination, and optimizing financial management through effective fundraising strategies. With better HRM implementation, da’wah programs at Masjid Raya Pematang Siantar are expected to operate more professionally and provide broader positive impacts on society

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is a relevant instructional approach in vocational education because it emphasizes authentic learning experiences and competency development aligned with industry needs. However, its implementation is often limited to pedagogical practices and has not been systematically integrated with educational management functions. This study aims to analyze the optimization of PjBL in improving vocational students’ competencies through an educational management perspective. The research employed a qualitative literature review approach by examining national and international journal articles, academic books, and educational policy documents related to project-based learning, vocational education, and educational management. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis through categorization, interpretation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings reveal that the successful implementation of PjBL is influenced by competency-based planning, effective organization of learning resources, authentic project implementation, and continuous evaluation through authentic assessment. Institutional readiness, teacher competence, digital technology, and industrial partnerships also contribute significantly to the sustainability of PjBL implementation in vocational education.

In the education system, learning evaluation plays a fundamental role in measuring students' academic competency achievement. This study was designed to comprehensively examine the importance of high-quality learning instruments and the strategic role of assessment frameworks in ensuring the instrument's alignment with the formulated learning objectives. A qualitative, descriptive approach based on a literature review was used. The study's findings indicate that assessment frameworks serve as a framework or blueprint capable of validly and reliably mapping competencies, material coverage, and assessment weighting. Systematic implementation of assessment frameworks has been proven to increase the transparency and accountability of evaluations, while also supporting educators in integrating Islamic values ​​into the context of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). However, its implementation still faces obstacles, including limited teacher competency in developing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based questions, as well as constraints related to time and resource availability.

Employee competency is a strategic factor in improving organizational performance. Rapid changes in the business environment, technological advancements, and increasing demands for professionalism require organizations to ensure that their human resources possess adequate knowledge, skills, abilities, and work attitudes. This study aims to analyze the influence of employee competency on performance using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. Relevant research articles were identified through a systematic process consisting of identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion according to predetermined criteria. The selected studies were then synthesized to evaluate the relationship between competency and employee performance across various organizational contexts. The findings consistently indicate that employee competency has a positive and significant influence on performance improvement. Competency, which encompasses knowledge, technical and interpersonal skills, professional attitudes, and individual characteristics, contributes to enhancing work effectiveness, productivity, service quality, innovation, and the achievement of organizational objectives. Furthermore, organizations that continuously invest in competency development through education, training, and continuous learning programs tend to achieve higher employee performance and stronger organizational competitiveness. This study provides comprehensive evidence that competency development is a fundamental strategy for improving organizational performance and offers practical implications for managers and policymakers in designing sustainable human resource development programs.

The aim of this research is to examine the implementation of the PAI curriculum which includes aspects of planning, implementation and evaluation of learning. The research uses a qualitative approach with the type of library research through reviewing various relevant scientific literature. The research results show that the implementation of the PAI curriculum has been carried out, but has not run optimally, especially in the implementation of learning which is still conventional and evaluations which focus more on cognitive aspects. The research conclusions show that the success of curriculum implementation is influenced by teacher competency, innovation in learning, and the development of a more comprehensive evaluation system.

This article examines needs analysis and curriculum analysis as the foundational bases for developing effective teaching materials. Using a library research method, this study reviews various scientific journal articles, reference books, and relevant official documents. Needs analysis is a systematic process conducted to identify the gap between students' current conditions and the competencies they are expected to achieve, serving as the most critical stage in determining the direction of teaching material development. Meanwhile, curriculum analysis is carried out to ensure that the teaching materials developed remain aligned with competency standards, learning outcomes, content structure, and applicable educational policies. The integration of both analyses produces teaching materials that are not only contextually relevant to students' real conditions but also consistent with curriculum demands. Systematic steps in this integration including learner characteristic analysis, curriculum document review, material priority mapping, and authentic assessment design significantly contribute to improving the quality, effectiveness, and meaningfulness of learning. This article concludes that needs analysis and curriculum analysis are inseparable and must be conducted systematically before the development of teaching materials begins.

This research explores the translation of imported teaching theories into practice by secondary school teachers in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The focus of the problem is the disconnect between global teaching theories and practices in East Africa. Despite ongoing promotion of learner-centered, competency-based and constructivist pedagogies by governments and international entities, teaching practices have not changed or have only changed partially. This research aims to unravel the meanings, interpretations, resistance and transformations teachers make to imported teaching theories in their sociocultural and institutional contexts. This study used a qualitative comparative study design, with 72 teachers in 24 secondary schools. Semi-structured interviews, classroom observations and documents were analysed. The study shows that teachers engage in pedagogical translation in the following four ways: selective incorporation, syncretic blending, instrumental appropriation and transformative adaptation. These modes involve factors including examination, language policy, material resources and teacher experience. The research finds pedagogical translation is not an "implementation failure" but a process of adaptation and innovation. It suggests that education policies should be mindful of teacher agency, assessment practices to support pedagogical practices, and context-sensitive pedagogies.

Background: The Quran is a guide for Muslims, so the ability to read the Quran correctly according to the rules of tajweed (tahsin) is a crucial basic competency. At the Ar Royyan Pacitan Quranic Education Center (TPQ), several students still have weaknesses in the pronunciation of the letters and the accuracy of the length of the recitation (mad). Objective: This community service activity aims to educate and improve the students' mastery of tahsin in order to achieve a quality Quran recitation that meets the standards of tajweed.
