Findings indicate that effective IQACs function not merely as compliance bodies but as catalysts of academic excellence by aligning curriculum with industry needs, fostering continuous faculty development, and promoting technology-enhanced learning and learning analytics. Moreover, phased OBE implementation—comprising capacity building, curriculum redesign, instructional support, and continuous evaluation—significantly strengthens learning outcomes and cultivates reflective academic culture. The proposed framework underscores the interconnected role of curriculum, pedagogy, and faculty capabilities as foundations for institutional excellence. Ultimately, the study affirms that IQACs’ strategic leadership in embedding OBE, leveraging educational technologies, and empowering faculty positions them as pivotal agents in driving sustainable educational transformation.

The implications of progressivism in learning serve as an essential foundation for building an educational process that fosters active, creative, adaptive, and innovative students in accordance with 21st-century competency demands. The progressive approach positions students at the center of the learning process through direct experience, deep exploration, collaboration, dialogue, experimentation, and problem-solving relevant to real-life contexts, ensuring that learning is not only focused on content mastery but also on the development of potential, character, independence, and higher-order thinking skills. This study employs a literature review method by examining primary and secondary sources on the principles of progressivism, active learning strategies, and their relation to the Merdeka Curriculum as a foundation for national educational transformation. The findings indicate that progressivism plays a significant role in shaping critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, digital literacy, and initiative through the implementation of learning by doing, project-based learning, simulations, scientific experiments, reflective discussions, and technology integration that strengthens learner autonomy. This experience-based approach effectively supports students in constructing knowledge independently while enhancing confidence, responsibility, social awareness, and cooperative skills. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as passive learning culture, limited teacher competence in active methods, insufficient facilities, overloaded curriculum, psychosocial barriers, academic anxiety, and students’ low confidence in expressing opinions. These findings affirm that progressivism is highly relevant to educational reform in Indonesia; therefore, improving teacher competence, strengthening facilities, reinforcing policies, providing continuous support, and creating safe, democratic, inclusive, and supportive learning environments are essential to help students develop optimally as independent, creative, and innovative learners.

Education is a fundamental right that must be fought for by every child in the nation, and throughout its development, it continues to undergo innovations and evaluations toward better quality. One educational model that is growing in Indonesia is the boarding school system, which has its own characteristics, advantages, and challenges. This study aims to describe the social studies (IPS) teachers’ strategies in boarding school–based learning, the implementation of IPS learning within the boarding school environment, and the obstacles faced by IPS teachers at MTs Darul Hikmah. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. The study was conducted at Pondok Modern Darul Hikmah Tulungagung, with seventh-grade students as research subjects. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show several factors that influence the low effectiveness of IPS learning in boarding schools, including the dense institutional activity schedule that reduces students’ learning focus, teachers’ limited mastery of the subject matter and classroom management, and the dual curriculum implemented simultaneously within the institution. Efforts to improve IPS learning effectiveness include enhancing teacher discipline when entering and leaving the classroom, utilizing audio-visual learning media, and connecting learning materials with current issues to make the lessons more relevant and engaging. Furthermore, the study reveals several advantages of boarding school–based education, such as fostering students’ independence, developing social awareness, providing deeper religious instruction, and integrating both general and religious education. Thus, IPS learning in boarding schools has the potential to develop more optimally with the support of appropriate learning strategies and more structured institutional management.

This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of curriculum development and teaching methods in Islamic education in Indonesia and Egypt. Both countries have a long tradition in the development of Islamic sciences, but they demonstrate different approaches in accordance with their respective social, cultural, and educational policy contexts. This study uses a literature review method with a descriptive qualitative approach through a review of journals, books, and Islamic education policy documents. The results of the analysis show that the Islamic education system in Indonesia emphasizes the integration of religious and general knowledge in its curriculum, in line with the spirit of religious moderation and the demands of modern society. Meanwhile, Islamic education in Egypt, especially through Al-Azhar University, emphasizes a traditional approach based on tafaqquh fi al-din with a focus on mastery of classical Islamic sciences. In terms of teaching methods, Indonesia is more adaptive to active and technology-based learning models, while Egypt maintains the talaqqi and memorization methods, but has begun to adopt modern pedagogical innovations. Overall, both education systems have their own strengths; Indonesia excels in contextualizing the curriculum, while Egypt sets an example in maintaining the authority and continuity of Islamic scholarship. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of a balanced Islamic education that integrates values and modernity.

This research examines the comparison of Islamic education innovations in Japan and Singapore with a focus on technological approaches and local cultural integration. Japan and Singapore are two developed countries in Asia that have developed Islamic education systems with unique characteristics despite not being Muslim-majority countries.

Learning evaluation is an important element in the educational process because it allows us to determine the extent to which students have achieved their competencies and helps improve the quality of learning. Objective tests are considered relevant because they can measure students' thinking abilities efficiently and systematically. However, in PAI learning, there are challenges because what is assessed is not only knowledge, but also understanding, attitudes, and actions in religion. This study aims to analyze the application of objective test instruments in evaluating PAI learning at SMA Negeri 1 Jetis Bantul, including how teachers create questions, the difficulties they encounter, and the impact on students. This study uses a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation techniques, then content analysis is used to analyze the results. The findings indicate that teachers have applied HOTS-based questions in accordance with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. However, students still have difficulty understanding long narrative questions, and objective instruments are not appropriate for assessing affective aspects. In general, students respond positively, but their learning style tends to be instant, relying solely on question outlines. To achieve holistic educational goals in line with the Pancasila Student Profile, continuous innovation is needed in the development of objective testing instruments that are capable of comprehensively measuring cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects.
