    Susanto Susanto, Apri Wardana Ritonga, Ayu Desrani, Yohan Rubiyantoro, M. Darwis Hude
    Jurnal Ilmiah Peuradeun, 2025
    Pesantren plays a significant role in developing students’ self-regulated learning (SRL) skills, which are reflected in their ability to set learning goals and manage their cognition, motivation, and behavior. However, previous studies did not explore SRL skills among students in pesantren, particularly in those with three secondary education units: MA (Madrasah Aliyah), SMA (Senior High School), and SMK (Vocational School). This study aimed to reveal the average SRL skills of students and their indicators in supporting survival skills (SS) in pesantren. Using a positivistic paradigm and a quantitative approach through survey methods, this research was conducted at Pesantren As-Syifa Al-Khoeriyyah Subang, West Java, Indonesia, involving 99 students from MA, SMA, and SMK levels as samples. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 30 questions and analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that the average SRL skill scores for MA students were 55.48, for SMA students 60.12, and for SMK students 57.72, with an overall average score of 57.77. The ANOVA significance test value of 0.012 (< 0.05) indicates a significant difference between groups. This study also highlighted that students’ SRL skills, such as social independence, values, and behavior, were shaped through various programs implemented in the pesantren.

    Susanto Susanto, Apri Wardana Ritonga, Ayu Desrani
    Munaddhomah, 2023
    In Era Society 5.0, Indonesia is faced with the swift currents of globalization, a process of order owned by the global community that knows no boundaries. This is also happening in the field of education in Indonesia which is the cause of the nation's downturn on the grounds that our education does not produce good human resources. National character is something that is important to advance a nation. To overcome this, changes are needed in the learning of the Islamic boarding school program for students' religious learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the application of character education in religious learning through a short Islamic boarding school program. The method used is descriptive qualitative by collecting data through observation and interviews. These observations and interviews were conducted with teachers and students at MAN 3 Palembang.

The results of this study were: 1) At MAN 3 Palembang, they implemented religious learning through several activities, namely book study, speech, al-Barzani, reciting al-Qur’an, reading Yasin, evening tutoring, and performing arts; 2) The characters that can be produced from these activities are religious, responsible, disciplined, confident, creative, communicative, curious, polite, courteous, patient, sincere, humble, independent, honest, respectful, creative, and innovative. The findings of this study are that the flash Islamic boarding school program implemented at MAN 3 Palembang can build student' character to become better individuals.

  • Learning by doing: A teaching paradigm for active learning in Islamic high school
    Susanto, Ayu Desrani, Apri Wardana Ritonga, Ramli, Maesaroh Lubis, et al.
    Journal of Education and E Learning Research, 2023
    This research aims to explore the paradigm of applying learning by doing to create active learning in Islamic education. A combination of both quantitative and qualitative methods was used in this study. Data collection begins with qualitative data and continues with quantitative data. This flow is also known as exploratory sequential design. The study's findings indicate that the use of learning by doing in Islamic education creates a supportive and adaptable learning environment where students can develop their critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills through firsthand experience and other people's teachings. Second, learning by doing has a positive influence on students in Islamic education. The findings of the quantitative data analysis in the test (paired sample t-test) demonstrate a substantial difference between the results before and after implementing learning by doing performance-based learning. The degrees of freedom (dk), the magnitude of which is N-1 as well as 40-1 = 39 are the basis for determining the value of the t-table. The value of degrees of freedom 39 at a significant level of 5% is obtained by t-table 1.684. The results can be obtained with a count greater than the t-table namely 16,701 > 1,684 and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 < 0.05 based on the results of the analysis of the t-test (paired sample t-test). So, it can be concluded that learning by doing can improve the ability to think creatively, logically, systematically and critically.

    International Journal of Learning Teaching and Educational Research, 2022
    This study aimed to investigate the use of technology in enhancing the quality of Islamic higher education in Indonesia. A mixed-method approach, with a sequential explanatory design, was applied in this research. The participants in the quantitative research were 608 students from 10 provinces in Indonesia, while those in the qualitative approach were 23 students.

The quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, while the qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which included collecting, reducing and displaying the data, and drawing conclusions. The findings showed that students’ perceptions of the use of technology in improving the quality of Islamic higher education were categorized into three parts. First, the technology used in enhancing the quality of delivering materials includes LMS (38%), Zoom meetings (30%), Google Meet (18%), and Google Classroom (14%). Second, the technology used in improving the quality of monitoring or learning direction includes WhatsApp (55%), Telegram (25%), Line (9%), and Google Classroom (11%). Third, the technology used to improve the quality of learning evaluation includes Kahoot (9%), Quizizz (10%), Google form (48%), Turnitin (28%), and computer-based tests (5%). In addition, the respondents gave a positive response to the use of technology in learning in Islamic higher education. The use of technology in Islamic higher education shows an increase. It eases the lecturers, students, and other stakeholders to provide a more outstanding quality of Islamic education.
  • The Perception of Millennial Generation on Religious Moderation through Social Media in the Digital Era
    Suci Ramadhanti Febriani, Apri Wardana Ritonga
    Millah Journal of Religious Studies, 2022
    The phenomenon of learning religion through social media is rife among the millennial generation. This is an opportunity for the internalization of religious moderation in the millennial environment. This study aims to reveal the millennial generation's perception of religious moderation through social media. This study uses a qualitative research design with case study methods, while data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation integrally with data analysis techniques through the theory of Milles and Huberman. This study shows that the millennial generation's perception of the implementation of religious moderation can be internalized through social media intermediaries with video, reading articles, and intensive persuasion strategies from social media content owners. The research findings illustrate that the phenomenon of the implementation of religious moderation in the millennial generation can be improved through the distribution of religious materials that are relevant to modern issues without reducing the essence of religious education. This study recommends further research to examine the effectiveness of understanding religious moderation in the younger generation in dealing with pluralism in Indonesia.
