This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using an Arabic dictionary in enhancing the vocabulary of students at SMK Tarbiyatus Salafiyah Pesawahan Tiris Probolinggo. The main focus of this research is to identify the factors influencing the use of dictionaries in vocabulary acquisition and the impacts resulting from their use. The research problem formulation includes identifying the supporting and inhibiting factors in dictionary utilization and analyzing the effects of dictionary use on students’ vocabulary mastery. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through direct classroom observation to examine students’ interactions with dictionaries, in-depth interviews with students and educators to explore their experiences and perceptions, and documentation in the form of field notes and student work to analyze vocabulary development. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of dictionary use is influenced by both inhibiting and supporting factors. Inhibiting factors include the limited availability of dictionaries, a lack of understanding regarding their proper use, and restricted access to digital technology. Meanwhile, supporting factors involve teachers’ patience in providing guidance, students’ high enthusiasm and motivation, and their Arabic language proficiency. The positive impact of effective dictionary use is not limited to an increase in vocabulary acquisition but also contributes to students’ confidence in communicating in Arabic, enhances memory and cognitive skills, and improves reading and writing abilities. Thus, this study concludes that using Arabic dictionaries is effective in enriching students’ vocabulary, especially when supported by conducive factors.

Ahlussunnah Wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) is an Islamic doctrine based on the Qur’an, Hadith, and the understanding of the companions and early scholars. This study aims to examine the Qur’anic and Hadith-based evidence that legitimizes Aswaja and its relevance to Islamic education. The research employs a literature review method, analyzing primary sources such as classical and contemporary tafsir books, major Hadith collections (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Tirmidhi), and scholarly works by figures like Imam Ash’ari and Al-Ghazali. The findings indicate that Qur’anic verses, such as Surah Al-An’am (6:153) and Surah Ali Imran (3:103), emphasize the importance of adhering to the straight path, which is a central tenet of Aswaja. Furthermore, the Hadith on the division of the Muslim ummah into 73 sects supports Aswaja’s position as al-firqah an-najiyah (the saved sect). These sources provide textual legitimacy to the doctrine of Aswaja, affirming its central role in preserving Islamic unity. The implications for Islamic education are significant, including the integration of Aswaja values into curricula, the promotion of a moderate and balanced understanding of Islam, and the strengthening of faith based on authentic textual evidence. By incorporating Aswaja principles, educators can foster an environment that prioritizes tolerance, inclusivity, and intellectual engagement within Islamic educational settings. This study contributes to reinforcing a moderate and tolerant Islamic approach, promoting a harmonious balance between tradition and modernity in educational contexts.

Speed reading is an essential skill in modern education, requiring students to quickly and effectively comprehend information. This study aims to examine innovative and effective strategies for developing students' speed reading abilities in the era of modern learning. The research method used is library research, involving an extensive review of books, scholarly journals, and previous studies relevant to speed reading instruction. The findings indicate that the most effective strategies for improving speed reading skills include a combination of skimming and scanning techniques, minimizing subvocalization, and practicing word visualization. Additionally, the integration of digital technologies, such as AI-based learning applications and interactive platforms, has been shown to enhance both reading speed and comprehension. Constructivist and cognitive learning theories also play a crucial role in developing adaptive strategies tailored to students' needs. Despite the proven effectiveness of these strategies, several challenges remain, such as low reading motivation, difficulties in maintaining focus, and limited access to technology in certain educational settings. Therefore, educators must foster a conducive learning environment and incorporate appropriate technological tools to support the development of speed reading skills. This study contributes to the development of more innovative and adaptive speed reading instructional models in the digital era. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for educators in implementing more effective strategies to enhance students' speed reading abilities.

This study aims to examine the role of differentiated instruction strategies in improving the quality of Islamic education. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review, this research analyzes the concept, implementation, and impact of differentiation strategies on the effectiveness of learning in Islamic education. Differentiated instruction allows for the adaptation of teaching methods based on students' needs, learning styles, and individual potential, creating a more inclusive and adaptive learning environment. The findings indicate that implementing differentiation strategies whether in content, process, or product significantly enhances students' understanding of Islamic teachings. Additionally, these strategies increase students' learning motivation, active engagement, and help them develop character aligned with Islamic values. Teachers who apply differentiation strategies can be more flexible in delivering material and more responsive to individual student differences, making the learning process more effective and meaningful. The implications of this research emphasize that differentiation strategies play a crucial role in creating a higher-quality Islamic education system that remains relevant in an evolving era. Therefore, continuous efforts from educators and educational institutions are needed to adopt these strategies in order to produce a generation of Muslims who not only have a strong understanding of Islamic teachings but also possess the adaptability and moral character to face modern life challenges.

As a literary genre with its own appeal, short stories (qishshah qashirah) and poetry (shi'r) offer a unique and beneficial reading experience for students. However, learning to read Arabic literary texts often presents various challenges. This study aims to analyze in depth the reading skills of Arabic literary texts, specifically short stories and poetry, at Madrasah Aliyah. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to observe and describe events, phenomena, attitudes, social activities, perceptions, beliefs, and thoughts of individuals or groups. Data collection is conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique follows the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students' ability to read Arabic literary texts, both short stories and poetry, remains relatively low. Several internal and external factors influence this ability, including limited vocabulary (mufradat), which causes students to struggle in understanding texts, frequently pause, guess word meanings, or even give up entirely. Additionally, weak proficiency in Arabic grammar (nahwu and sharaf) further hinders their comprehension of sentence structures in literary texts. To address these challenges, three strategies can be implemented by educators to enhance students' reading skills: utilizing diverse learning media, selecting engaging and relevant themes, and providing a variety of reading resources.

The results of the Spearman test showed a significant relationship with weak strength (p value 0.000), positive direction, and correlation coefficients of 0.471 and 0.514. Further research with a wider scope and qualitative methods is recommended to understand the factors causing student stress in more depth.

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is often referred to as "the silent killer" because of its asymptomatic nature. Surgical education plays an important role in providing important information and motivational support to hypertensive patients, which has the potential to increase the effectiveness of treatment.
