Active learning strategies are considered one of the most effective approaches in creating meaningful, participatory learning processes that enhance students’ intrinsic motivation. In the context of Fiqh learning, the implementation of active learning strategies plays a crucial role because Fiqh not only requires cognitive understanding but also involves strengthening attitudes and internalizing religious values. Traditional teacher-centered learning methods often lead to passive participation, boredom, and a lack of motivation among students. Therefore, the use of active learning strategies—such as group discussions, simulations, problem-solving activities, and experiential learning—can encourage students to participate more actively, think critically, and develop a stronger motivation to achieve better learning outcomes.This study aims to describe how active learning strategies can improve students’ motivation in Fiqh subjects. The analysis shows that engaging students directly in learning activities increases their attention, interest, and sense of responsibility in understanding the material. Additionally, two-way interactions between teachers and students create a more dynamic and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Thus, active learning strategies serve as a relevant and effective approach to enhancing learning motivation and improving the overall quality of Fiqh education.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the management of educational facilities and infrastructure and its contribution to increasing the effectiveness of learning at SMPI Darul Ulum Sangatta Utara. The research background is based on the importance of the role of facilities and infrastructure in supporting an optimal, effective, and meaningful learning process. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, where data is obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation of school principals, teachers, and education staff. Data analysis is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the management of facilities and infrastructure at SMPI Darul Ulum Sangatta Utara has been carried out through five main stages, namely planning, procurement, utilization, maintenance, and evaluation. The implementation of this management is quite effective because it actively and continuously involves all school residents, especially in routine maintenance activities and the use of learning facilities. The existence of adequate facilities such as classrooms, laboratories, and information technology devices has been proven to increase student learning motivation and encourage the creation of a conducive learning atmosphere. However, some obstacles are still found, such as budget limitations and the need to update props that are no longer suitable for use. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of strategic planning and continuous evaluation in the management of facilities and infrastructure in order to continue to support the improvement of learning effectiveness, especially in the pesantren-based school environment.

Noise in educational environments can affect the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes. This study aims to analyze the impact of traffic noise on teaching and learning activities in Building V of Semarang University, located along the Soekarno-Hatta arterial road. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach by measuring noise levels using a Sound Level Meter on six floors of the building. Measurements were taken during active lecture hours with time intervals of 3 x 30 minutes. The results showed that noise levels on floors 1 to 3 were above the educational environment quality standard of 55 dB according to KepMenLH No. 48 of 1996. Meanwhile, on the 6th floor, the noise level averaged around 55 dB. Excessive noise makes it difficult for students to hear lecturers' explanations, reduces their ability to capture information, and decreases learning material retention. To address these issues, sound insulation installation, spatial planning improvements by designing room layouts farther from noise sources, vegetation planting, and lecture rescheduling to avoid peak traffic times are necessary.

The use of AI is seen as aiding the learning process, and students have used AI for various purposes in their coursework. This article aims to investigate the impact of AI use on their innovation and creativity, as well as the possibility of AI replacing lecturers. A qualitative study was conducted with 53 student respondents. Questions were asked about the definition of AI, the applications of AI they use, whether AI can enhance creativity and innovation, and whether AI will one day replace lecturers. The findings indicate that AI is artificial intelligence that serves as an aid in the student learning process. The majority of students use ChatGPT, and 37 students stated that AI can enhance their innovation and creativity by providing inspiration and initial ideas. AI is also a tool that accelerates the learning process and facilitates creative work, as well as AI as a means of developing skills such as critical reasoning and data analysis. However, the majority also stated that dependence on AI can actually reduce critical thinking and creativity. Regarding the role of lecturers, 41 students stated that AI cannot replace them. The implication of these findings is that AI can be used wisely while still being aware of its limitations and ethical use. The role of lecturers must be further enhanced to ensure that student learning processes address AI's limitations and allow students to further enhance their innovation and creativity, while simultaneously mitigating the associated risks.

Humans are social beings, and thus they need interaction with others. Interacting requires social intelligence which is the ability to understand and express feelings to people around them. However, there are still students who are not able to interact well with the teacher. The students are unable to express their condition when they are not feeling well.The purpose of this study is to understand teachers’ efforts to improve the social intelligence of sixth-grade students at Private Islamic Primary Boarding School or Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Swasta Ma'had Al-Zaytun in the context of learning. Secondly, the study aims to identify the inhibiting and supporting factors of students’ social intelligence enhancement in learning process. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. To collect data, the researcher employs observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The population of this study are the sixth-grade teachers at school. Random sampling teachnique is conducted to find the sample. The samples are homeroom teacher and a subject teacher in class VI B03 and another subject teacher in class VI B07. The obstacle in this process includes lecture-based teaching, which is less interactive.  This obstacle is solved by incorporating question-and-answer sessions to enable more active participation from students. The second obstacle is the use of students inappropriate language which is overcome through teacher’s consistent guidance and correction to foster better communication.

Learning is essentially a process of interaction between students and educators and learning resources in a learning environment, according to Gagne (Kanusta 1977: 19). The purpose of this study was to measure the level of student activeness in the classroom by using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning method. Based on the results of observations that have been made by researchers in history learning activities in class X SMA Swasta Gabriel Wanibesak from 24 students, only 49% of students are active in learning history, this also shows that in cycle I the level of student learning activeness has a classical percentage level of 49% where this is further confirmed based on the formula for calculating student activeness criteria in learning according to Arikunto (2007: 18) If the level of activeness is below 75% then students are less active in participating in the teaching and learning process. In cycle II researchers used the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning method, there was an increase in the level of student activeness where the level of activeness in cycle II classically averaged 83%, this shows the level of enthusiasm of students in participating in the teaching and learning process that occurs in the classroom, in cycle II the teacher also tries to guide students to be more active in the teaching and learning process, such as answering questions given by the teacher, being able to express opinions, students are also active in group discussions, students actively ask the teacher regarding the material that has been conveyed, with the help and guidance of the teacher so that in cycle II the average level of student activeness has increased well.

Curriculum administration is all business processes that have been planned and attempted deliberately and earnestly as well as continuous guidance on teaching and learning activities effectively and efficiently in order to achieve the educational goals that have been set. The importance of curriculum administration in educational institutions, which includes the selection of materials, teaching methods, and assessments that are in accordance with educational goals and student needs. Curriculum administration plays a role in ensuring that the curriculum is well structured and organized through various levels of planning, implementation, and supervision. Curriculum evaluation is also an important part of education management, aiming to collect information about the effectiveness of curriculum implementation and the impact of learning outcomes. In addition, this journal highlights the role of teachers in curriculum administration as implementers, adapters, developers, and researchers. The presence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology presents an opportunity for educators to carry out a learning process that focuses on the needs, interests, and learning styles of students, because the independent curriculum requires educators to carry out differentiated learning as an initiative in facilitating students, especially in Pancasila education, which incidentally is still carried out by conventional models or methods.

In the digital era, technology plays an important role in designing learning that is more interactive, personalised and adaptive. This research examines the role of learning technology in learning design through a qualitative approach based on a literature review. The use of technology, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), shows potential to increase student engagement as well as provide a more flexible learning experience. Blended learning approaches are also proven to increase engagement and provide flexibility in the learning process. In addition, technology supports competency-based learning that enables real-time evaluation of student progress through learning analytics. However, there are challenges in implementing technology, such as the digital divide, teacher readiness, and infrastructure limitations. Therefore, the successful integration of technology in learning design requires support from educational institutions and policies to provide adequate training for teachers and appropriate technology infrastructure. This study concludes that technology integration in learning design provides significant benefits in improving learning quality, but still requires a systematic and adaptive approach.

The purpose of this study is to examine more deeply the role of education management in realizing quality schools. The research method to be used in this study is a literature study approach, in which data and information will be collected from various academic sources, such as books, journals and relevant articles on education management and quality schools. The results of this study show that effective education management plays a key role in creating quality schools through key components such as human resources, facilities and infrastructure, finance and education supervision. Each of these components works synergistically to support optimal learning processes, although they often face challenges such as limited resources, resistance to change and lack of stakeholder support. Through collaborative strategies from various parties, including the government, community and parents, schools can overcome these obstacles. Optimizing education management complemented by educational supervision helps improve the professional quality of teachers, curriculum and school management, and builds a culture of continuous evaluation. This synergy results in schools that are qualified, adaptive and able to respond to the demands of today's education.

This study aims to describe the learning conditions of Indonesian History applied at Madrasah Aliyah Bustanul Muta'allimim Blitar which uses the Problem Based Learning learning model. Problem Based Learning model learning directs the ability of students to play an active role in solving a problem in the process of learning activities, but in reality in learning in class 10 of Madrasah Aliyah Bustanul Muta'allimin there are still some students who still have difficulty in solving problems and there are also some students who are less active when the learning process takes place. The formulation of the problems in this study are: 1) How is the implementation of the Problem Based Learning learning model in grade 10 Indonesian History subjects? 2) How can the implementation of Problem Based Learning improve the quality of 10th grade Indonesian History learning? 3) What are the implications of the implementation of Problem Based Learning on student learning outcomes? The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, as for the data sources used, namely through primary data by digging directly to the research location located at MA Bustanul Muta'allimin Blitar, with data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation and checking data validity through source triangulation. . The results of this study are 1) Implementation of Problem Based Learning model learning in Indonesian History subjects in class 10 A, 10 B and 10 C there are three stages that are applied in the learning process, namely the preparation stage, the core activity stage, and the final stage or evaluation. 2)  Analysis of Whether the Problem Based Learning Method can Improve the Quality of Indonesian History Learning in grade 10. There are differences in the responses of students from the three classes for class 10 A, the response of students is still difficult in solving problems in the learning process and difficulty in presenting material when in front of the class and less active in learning in class, this is different from class 10 B and 10 C, students are easier in solving a problem and can present material and be active in learning activities in class. So from this it can be said that learning in the classroom has improved, but there must be more improvements from the Problem Based Learning model when learning activities take place in class. 3) Classroom student learning outcomes For student learning outcomes are influenced by factors within students, namely about the motivation of these students in participating in learning. Students from the three classes can be said to be class 10 A which is rather low compared to the other classes, because there are only male students, this can happen because in the application of Problem Based Learning model learning, these students do not pay attention to the teacher's direction, and are less serious in learning activities, so they do not understand the material being discussed together, in contrast to classes 10 B and 10 C which tend to be more easily organized by the teacher and pay attention when learning activities take place and are active in the process of ongoing learning activities.  

Schools in Maluku often face social conflicts rooted in religious, ethnic, and historical local tensions, which have the potential to disrupt the learning process and create an unconducive environment. The main issue at hand is how to foster a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere among students in such a situation. This study aims to analyze the role of local cultural values as a foundation for conflict resolution in schools, supporting education and peacebuilding. The study uses a qualitative method with observations and in-depth interviews in several schools in Maluku. The findings show that cultural values such as Pela, Gandong, and Masohi play a crucial role in fostering tolerance and peace among students. Pela and Gandong serve as symbols of inter-religious and inter-regional brotherhood, which are internalized through collaborative activities among students, while Masohi, which emphasizes mutual cooperation, is applied in project-based learning and community activities, promoting collaboration and empathy. These findings highlight the importance of integrating local cultural values as a hidden curriculum in shaping tolerant student characters and creating a school environment that sustainably supports peacebuilding.

A serious problem faced by the Indonesian people is the orientation of the current education system which focuses too much on developing the left brain (cognitive) and pays too little attention to developing the right brain (affective, empathy and feeling). The learning process is passive and rigid, which makes it unpleasant for children. Subjects related to character education (such as character and religion) emphasize the left brain aspect (memorization, or just knowledge) in practice. This can damage children's character and hinder their creativity. In fact, character formation must be carried out systematically and continuously involving aspects of knowledge, feeling, loving and acting. Character formation can be likened to the formation of a person into a body builder (bodybuilder) who requires continuous moral muscle training to become sturdy and strong. Apart from that, the success of character education must also be supported by a good and enjoyable educational environment for children. Character education is needed not only at school, but also at home and in social environments.

. Education generally demands that the learning process should not be directed solely toward textual understanding, but rather encourages contextual learning. In this approach, learning should utilize a variety of learning resources that keep pace with advancements in science and technology, and are also closely tied to up-to-date developments in the surrounding environment and society. By using local environmental issues as a learning resource, it is expected that students will obtain more accurate and reliable information. The aim of this research activity is to identify and explain natural tourist attractions in Semarang Regency as learning resources for social studies in junior high schools. The method used is qualitative. The data sources consist of primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and document/archive analysis, while the validity of the data is ensured through technique triangulation.
