Learning Islamic Cultural History (SKI) at Madrasah Aliyah presents unique challenges, particularly in increasing students' interest and learning outcomes. Conventional methods such as lectures and memorization often result in low student engagement, leading to suboptimal understanding and poor learning outcomes. To address this issue, this study implements project-based learning (PjBL) as an alternative approach to enhance student learning outcomes. This study examines the effectiveness of project-based learning in improving student achievement in SKI subjects at Madrasah Aliyah 1 Kampar, specifically in class XI Science. Using the Kemmis and McTaggart classroom action research (CAR) model, the research was conducted in two cycles, involving planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observation sheets, interviews, and student and teacher questionnaires. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of this method. The findings indicate that implementing project-based learning positively impacts student learning outcomes. The average student score increased significantly from the first to the second cycle. Moreover, student engagement in learning activities improved, as seen in their active participation in discussions, material exploration, and teamwork on assigned projects. Additionally, this method helped students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills essential in modern education. The study confirms that project-based learning is an effective strategy for enhancing SKI education in Madrasah Aliyah.

This study explores the impact of AI-generated writing prompts on students' creativity, autonomy, and writing skills in online language learning environments. Writer's block is a common issue in online education, affecting students’ ability to produce coherent and engaging written work. AI-generated prompts, such as those provided by GPT-4, are proposed as a tool to stimulate creativity and support autonomous learning. The study employs a quasi-experimental design involving [insert number] students, using pre- and post-test writing samples, surveys, and classroom observations to measure improvements in creativity, participation, and writing quality. The main findings show that students who used AI-generated prompts demonstrated significant improvements in writing quality, creativity, and engagement compared to those using traditional writing methods. The study concludes that AI prompts offer an effective method for enhancing students’ writing skills and fostering creativity in online language learning, but a balanced integration with traditional teaching methods is essential. Recommendations for educators include incorporating AI tools into writing instruction to promote creativity and support student autonomy. Future research should focus on the long-term effects of AI prompts and their application in diverse educational contexts.

The rapid growth of online English learning platforms has introduced new opportunities for language acquisition, yet maintaining student engagement and motivation remains a persistent challenge. Many learners experience reduced participation and limited knowledge retention in digital settings compared to traditional classroom environments. Addressing this issue, the present study investigates the effectiveness of gamified quizzes as a pedagogical strategy to enhance engagement, motivation, and retention among online English learners. A quasi-experimental design was employed with two groups: a control group that used a standard online platform and a treatment group that engaged with gamified quizzes incorporating points, badges, and leaderboards. Data on engagement were collected through participation frequency and time spent, while motivation was measured using pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, and retention was assessed through follow-up tests. Statistical analyses using independent-sample t-tests and ANOVA revealed significant differences between the two groups. The treatment group demonstrated higher engagement, stronger motivation, and improved retention outcomes compared to the control group. These results, supported by both tabular and graphical representations, highlight the pedagogical value of gamification in addressing motivational challenges and fostering meaningful learning. The study concludes that gamified quizzes serve not only as motivational tools but also as effective mechanisms to strengthen long-term knowledge retention in online English education. Implications for practice suggest that educators and digital learning designers should integrate gamification elements as a central feature of online platforms to optimize learner outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the school supervision program and the competence of supervisors in an effort to improve the quality of educators.

This study emphasizes the importance of sustainable and planned supervision by referring to the results of previous supervision and prevailing education policies. The findings show that the implementation of an effective supervision program supported by the competence of qualified supervisors can improve the quality of the learning process and the performance of educators in the assisted schools. Thus, strategic supervision is a key factor in creating a quality education system.

This study explores the unique characteristics of Marine Engineering English, a specialized form of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) used in ship machinery operations. Focusing on technical terminology, idiomatic expressions, and their functional roles, the research aims to identify how Marine Engineering English facilitates clear and efficient communication in marine engineering contexts. Data were collected from marine engineering textbooks, international journals, and authentic communication transcripts, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that Marine Engineering English is characterized by its technical precision, standardized terminology, and use of idioms rooted in maritime traditions. Phrases like "main engine overhaul" and idioms such as "running like a well-oiled machine" are essential for operational safety and teamwork. Compared to General English, Marine Engineering English is highly specialized, with a focus on operational efficiency and cultural identity. The study concludes that integrating technical vocabulary and idiomatic expressions into maritime education can enhance learners' communicative competence. Practical recommendations are provided for learners, educators, and industry professionals to improve the teaching and application of Marine Engineering English.

  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.
