Learning assessment in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) has tended to focus on cognitive or academic aspects, while strengthening students' character has received less attention. In fact, character education is very important to shape children's personalities from an early age. This study aims to develop a learning assessment model that not only assesses aspects of knowledge, but also measures the development of students' character, such as honesty, responsibility, cooperation, and discipline. The method used is research and development with stages of needs analysis, instrument design, trials, and revisions. The results of the study show that character-based assessments can be integrated into teaching and learning activities effectively, and receive positive responses from teachers and students. The development of this assessment is expected to be a solution to support the overall goal of character education in MI.

This study examines the strengthening of students' character through the integration of local wisdom in education in Indonesia. In facing the challenges of globalization, education must not only focus on improving academic quality, but also on character building. The purpose of this study is to analyze the application of methods that integrate local wisdom in the learning process and its impact on student learning outcomes. The proposed methods include identification of local wisdom, curriculum development, implementation of active learning, and assessment and evaluation. The results showed that the application of this method increased the average student grade from 70 to 85 and the graduation percentage from 60% to 90%. These findings indicate that the integration of local wisdom not only increases learning motivation but also contributes to the development of students' character and identity. Thus, this study concludes that strengthening character through local wisdom is an effective strategy to improve the quality of education in Indonesia, as well as encourage the younger generation to love their culture and identity more.

In the modern era, approaches to understanding hadith have undergone significant transformations, necessitating more systematic and contextualized methodologies. Thematic hadith studies (maw??‘?) have emerged as a methodological solution capable of integrating the Prophet’s teachings with contemporary realities in a more comprehensive manner. This research aims to examine the concept, history, and development of the thematic methodology in hadith studies. The primary focus is to explore the epistemology of this approach and its implications within modern Islamic academic discourse. This study employs a qualitative method using a library research approach. Data were collected through the analysis of primary and secondary literature, then analyzed using descriptive-analytical and historical-critical methods. The findings indicate that while the thematic method has existed since the classical era, its conceptual maturity has advanced significantly in the contemporary period. This approach has proven effective in addressing the issue of ikhtil?f al-?ad?th, clarifying inter-narration relationships, and expanding the scope of hadith understanding according to the needs of the time. However, its main challenges include potential subjectivity in interpretation and the need for stricter methodologies in validating both sanad and matn. Therefore, thematic hadith studies serve as a bridge between classical understanding and modern academic demands. Its implications extend beyond the development of hadith science to the continued relevance of Islamic teachings in addressing contemporary intellectual and social challenges.

This study aims to examine how the tradition of manaqib contributes to the actualization of the values of Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah (Aswaja) within the society of Majalengka. As a cultural-religious heritage of Islam Nusantara, manaqib is not merely seen as a spiritual ritual, but also as a vital medium for instilling Islamic values that emphasize moderation (tawassuth), tolerance (tasamuh), balance (tawazun), and justice (i’tidal).

The analysis of this article demonstrates that patience in seeking knowledge is a prerequisite for attaining true knowledge, functioning as an inner strength to overcome obstacles, maintain consistency in learning, and shape the character of a genuine learner who is not only intellectually intelligent but also spiritually mature. These findings are relevant to the integration of manners, ethics, and spirituality in contemporary Islamic education.

This study examines the beauty of the language of the Qur'an through the balaghah device, especially in the aspect of muhassinat lafziyyah with a focus on the iqtibas technique in QS. Al-Baqarah verse 269. Muhassinat lafziyyah is a form of embellishment of words that beautify the sound, rhythm, and structure of language, while strengthening the message conveyed. One of the important elements in it is iqtibas, which is the citation of the words of the Qur'an or Hadith in another sentence structure without explicitly mentioning the source. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method that refers to primary sources such as books on balaghah science, as well as secondary sources in the form of scientific articles and journals. Based on the results of the analysis, QS. Al-Baqarah verse 269 is categorized as a form of Iqtibas Kulli, where the quotation is done in full without changing the words. This verse emphasizes that wisdom is a special gift from Allah that includes depth of knowledge, accuracy of thinking, and the wise practice of knowledge in life. Thus, this study confirms that the beauty of the wording of the Qur'an is not only aesthetically valuable, but also strengthens the content of deep meaning, showing the synergy between the beauty of language and the depth of content in conveying divine messages.

Abstract This study aims to investigate the implementation of the Project to Strengthen the Profile of Pancasila Students and Rahmatan lil Alamin Students (P5PPRA) within the Merdeka Curriculum for Grade 4 students at MI Ziyadatul Iman, Jambi City. The focus is on how the program is carried out and the factors that influence its success. A descriptive qualitative method was used, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis involved data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the implementation of P5PPRA consists of three key stages. First, the planning stage involves forming a facilitator team, assessing the school’s readiness, choosing project themes and dimensions, and preparing modules and schedules. Second, the implementation phase includes five steps: introduction, contextualization, action, reflection, and follow-up. Third, evaluation is conducted by teachers through performance assessments, evaluation of student products, and assessment of attitudes and skills, using both written tools and observation. Supporting factors include cooperation from school stakeholders, sufficient facilities, and available funding. Meanwhile, obstacles include a lack of teacher training on the Merdeka Curriculum and limited understanding of P5PPRA. By identifying these factors, schools can strengthen support and find solutions to challenges, helping ensure the program runs effectively.
