Kurikulum Pendidikan Islam: Landasan Dan Implementasi
This study aims to determine the development and implementation of the Islamic education curriculum in Indonesia and to understand the challenges faced in its implementation. The method used in this study is a qualitative study with a descriptive analytical approach through a literature review of various curriculum documents, Islamic education literature, and government policies related to Islamic education. The results of the study indicate that the Islamic education curriculum in Indonesia has undergone several stages of development, starting from the traditional period in Islamic boarding schools to the integration of the national curriculum in the modern era. The current curriculum emphasizes character building, religious moderation, and integration between religious knowledge and general knowledge. However, the implementation of the curriculum still faces obstacles such as the quality of human resources, differences between regions, and limited educational facilities. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen policies, improve teacher competence, and evaluate the curriculum on an ongoing basis so that Islamic education in Indonesia can run effectively and relevantly to the times.

Kedisiplinan Sebagai Faktor Penunjang Karakter Siswa Kelas XI MAS Aisyiyah Di Sekolah Menengah Atas
Discipline is one of the fundamental factors in supporting the development of students' character, especially at the eleventh-grade level of Senior High School (SMA), where students are in a crucial phase of emotional and social development. This article aims to explore in depth the role of discipline in shaping students' character using a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving students and teachers at a selected high school. The research findings indicate that discipline plays a significant role in fostering positive values such as responsibility, honesty, maturity, and self-control. However, the success of implementing discipline is highly influenced by external factors such as the active involvement of teachers, parental support, and a school culture that reinforces positive behavior. Consistency in rule enforcement, exemplary conduct by educators, and a humane approach are key elements in strengthening students' character comprehensively and sustainably within the formal education environment.

Penggunaan Metode Problem Based Learning Untuk Meningkatkan Minat Belajar Siswa Pada Pelajaran Fiqih
Students' interest in learning jurisprudence in class XI is often still low, resulting in a less optimal learning process and understanding of the material. This problem is caused by learning methods that are less interesting and less actively involving students. To overcome this, this research examines the use of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method as an alternative learning strategy that solves problems collaboratively. The Poblem Based Learning method is applied by giving students real problems that must be solved and solved in groups, thus creating an active and participatory learning atmosphere. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation during the learning process. Data analysis is done descriptively to understand changes in students' interest in learning in depth. The results of the research show that the application of Poblem Based Learning can significantly increase students' interest in learning, as evidenced by the high participation, enthusiasm, and positive response of students during jurisprudence learning. This finding confirms that the Problem Based Learning method is effective in motivating and increasing student engagement, as well as enriching the learning experience in jurisprudence subjects.

Persepsi Siswa Kelas XII SMA Istiqlal Deli Tua Mengenai Peran Keluarga Dalam Pembentukan Karakter
This study aims to describe the perception of grade XII students of SMA Istiqlal Deli Tua regarding the role of family in character formation. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research subjects consisted of three students who were selected purposively based on the representation of family backgrounds and involvement in character activities in the school. The data collection technique was carried out through semi-structured interviews and documentation, while the data analysis followed the stages of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that students view family as the main factor in character formation, especially in the aspects of discipline, responsibility, empathy, and respect. Parental examples, open communication, habituation of positive values, and emotional support at home are the dominant factors that shape students' character. In contrast, students who come from families with permissive parenting tend to have difficulty maintaining character values at school. This perception confirms that the success of character education in schools is highly dependent on alignment with the values instilled in the family. Therefore, intensive cooperation between schools and families is needed to create an environment conducive to strengthening students' character.

Upaya Peningkatan Minat Belajar Bahasa Arab Peserta Didik Melalui Penggunaan Media Wordwall Di Kelas Xii Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Nurul Azmi Medan
This research is motivated by the low learning interest of students in the Arabic language subject at Grade XII of Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Nurul Azmi Medan. Based on the results of observations and interviews with several teachers and students, it was found that the learning methods used were still conventional and monotonous, causing students to be less enthusiastic and easily bored. The purpose of this study is to examine the improvement of students’ learning interest through the application of the Wordwall learning media. This media was chosen because it is visual, creative, and encourages active student engagement in creating learning materials. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using Kurt Lewin’s model, which consists of two cycles. Each cycle included the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. The pre-cycle observation of 19 students indicated that learning interest was still relatively low, with an average achievement of 49% based on four interest indicators. This was evident from the improvement in students’ participation, attention, and enthusiasm during the learning process. The percentage of learning interest increased from 49% in the pre-cycle to 84% in Cycle I. Furthermore, it increased to 87% in Cycle II. These findings demonstrate that the use of Wordwall as a learning medium is able to create a more interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere, while also providing opportunities for students to express their ideas creatively. Therefore, Wordwall can be considered an effective alternative learning medium to enhance students’ learning interest, particularly in theoretical subjects such as Arabic.

Adab Murid Terhadap Guru Dalam Perspektif Pendidikan Islam Studi Kasus Di Sekolah Al-Ittihadiyah Medan
This article examines the importance of students' manners toward teachers from the perspective of Islamic education, which has recently been seen as declining. The purpose of this research is to provide students with an understanding that manners are more important than knowledge. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach in the form of a literature study, examining books, classical texts, and the contents of the Quran related to this discussion. The results found that manners encompass not only external respect but also reflect internal attitudes that influence the formation of students' character, spirituality, and intellect. Based on an analysis of Surah Al-Kahf (verses 65-70), several important principles are explained, such as respect, patience, asking permission from the teacher, acknowledging the teacher's knowledge, being serious in learning, and avoiding negative prejudice. These principles are relevant in modern education to create harmonious relationships between students and teachers, thus supporting an effective and meaningful learning process. This research highlights that manners toward teachers serve not only as a form of etiquette but also as a way to maintain noble values ​​in facing the challenges of the times.

Strategi Pembentukan Karakter Religius Siswa melalui Program Keagamaan Rutin di SMA Islam Al-Ulum Terpadu Medan
This study aims to analyze strategies for developing students’ religious character through routine religious programs at SMA Islam Al-Ulum Terpadu Medan. The research is grounded in the urgency of religious character education amid challenges of moral degradation, popular culture, and the penetration of digital technology. A qualitative case study design was employed. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which includes data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation of sources to ensure validity.

This research aims to describe the implementation of active learning methods in improving students' understanding of Moral Aqeedah in class XII Madrasah Aliyah Tahfizil Qur'an Medan Yayasan Islamic Center. Based on research results, the application of active learning methods through the stages of material preparation, selection of methods, media, and strategies, implementation (teacher as facilitator, discussion activities, presentations, and case studies), as well as evaluation (tests, attitude observations, projects, and authentic assessments) can increase student engagement. Students become more active in asking, arguing, and working together, as well as having a deeper understanding of the concept of Aqidah Akhlak. They can also connect the material with everyday life, so that Islamic moral values ​​can be internalized more effectively. Factors supporting the application of this method include the support of the madrasah environment, the availability of infrastructure, and the readiness of teachers. Meanwhile, the obstacles faced are time constraints, variation in students' abilities, and the habit of lecture methods that are still attached. Overall, active learning proved to be effective not only in improving students' cognitive understanding, but also in strengthening their Islamic attitudes and behaviors in accordance with the educational goals of Aqidah Akhlak.

Kurangnya Fasilitas Sekolah dan Dampaknya terhadap Proses Belajar Mengajar di SMA Muhammadiyah 18 Sunggal
This study aims to analyze the lack of school facilities and its impact on the teaching and learning process at Muhammadiyah 18 Sunggal High School. The background of this study is based on the importance of educational facilities as a support for effective learning.

Penerapan Metode Hafalan Dan Qiro’ah Pada Pelajaran Bahasa Arab Di MAS Hidayah Bandar Khalifah
Learning Arabic plays an important role in a Madrasah because it greatly facilitates the understanding of Islamic sources. However, in reality, many students still face difficulties in mastering vocabulary, comprehending texts, and developing reading skills. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the memorization method (tahfīẓ) and qirā’ah in improving the Arabic language proficiency of grade XI students at MAS Hidayah Bandar Khalifah. The research method used is descriptive qualitative through semi-structured online interviews and literature review. The results of the study show that the main obstacles faced by students include the absence of textbooks, limited mastery of nahwu and shorof rules, low retention of vocabulary, and the monotony of the lecture method applied by teachers. The implementation of the memorization method proved to help students recall vocabulary and strengthen memory, while the qirā’ah method enhanced reading skills and comprehension of Arabic texts. Furthermore, students’ responses to both methods were generally positive, as they were considered more engaging and enjoyable compared to previous methods. Thus, the combination of memorization and qirā’ah methods is effective in improving students’ Arabic proficiency and can serve as an alternative teaching strategy in Madrasah Aliyah.

Initial observations indicated that many students remained passive, reluctant to voice their opinions, and showed limited involvement during lessons. To overcome this challenge, the role-playing method was employed as an alternative learning strategy that offers greater interaction and enjoyment. The research applied a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design carried out over two cycles with 27 students of grade XI-IPA in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were obtained through achievement tests, observation sheets of student activity, field notes, and documentation. The findings revealed that the use of the role-playing method significantly enhanced student participation in PAI learning. This increased participation also contributed to better learning mastery, self-confidence, and discipline. Therefore, the role-playing approach is recommended to foster a more active, meaningful, and engaging classroom environment.
