The Transformation of Surau Functions and the Distortion of Educational Values in Minangkabau

Metsra Wirman — 2026-04-04

“Surau” in Minangkabau should be a place to educate the community. The objectives of this study were to determine the factors causing changes in the function of surau and how it impacts to the understanding and practice of educational values in Minangkabau society. This study was conducted in Surau Gadang Syekh Burhanuddin, Ulakan, Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra. This study was a qualitative by a case study approach, data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained were reduced, presented, conclusion, and verification. The results of this study indicate that the factors that influence changes in the function of surau were internal and external factors. The internal factors come from the community itself, i.e., the distortion of community understanding of surau, the decline in the role of ulama and tuanku, and the decline in the quality of community faith. External factors include the influence of the modernism which causes traditional values to fade and be replaced by renewal values. Surau no longer functions as a social institution in society, because there are other institutions and social institutions that are considered more relevant by the community. The impact of changes in the function of the surau on the understanding and practice of educational values of the Surau Gadang Syekh Burhanuddin community includes a shift in the educational paradigm, changes in the understanding of customary and social values, and the loss of media for preserving art and culture which will threaten the sustainability of Minangkabau identity and traditions. These results are expected to provide recommendations for stakeholder to restore the surau function to its original historical.

Developing an Interactive Instructional Strategy Based on Arabic Vlog Media to Enhance Speaking Skills

Latifatul Baroroh — 2025-11-21

The mastery of Arabic speaking skills (Mahārah al-Kalām) is a critical competency in higher education, yet it is frequently hindered by passive, teacher-centered instructional methods and the resulting high levels of foreign language anxiety among students. While existing digital interventions like animated videos improve receptive skills, they often fail to stimulate productive communicative practice. This study aimed to develop, validate, and evaluate an interactive instructional strategy based on Arabic Video Blog (Vlog) media to actively engage students as content creators. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design based on the ADDIE model, the study was conducted with fourth-semester students at Kiai Haji Abdul Wahab Hasbullah University. Data were gathered through expert validations, speaking tests, and student questionnaires. The results indicated that the vlog-based strategy achieved a "Very Feasible" validity score of 91.24% from experts and practitioners. Inferential analysis using a paired samples t-test revealed a highly significant improvement in speaking proficiency (p < 0.001), with mean scores rising from 54.33 to 82.47. Furthermore, student acceptability reached 85.92%, highlighting a significant reduction in speaking anxiety and increased motivation. In conclusion, the vlog-based instructional strategy effectively transforms Arabic learners from passive consumers to active, confident communicators, offering a highly relevant pedagogical framework for 21st-century language education.

The Endhog-Endhogan Tradition in the Perspective of Islamic Education: A Study of Local Wisdom in the Banyuwangi Community

Icha Mutiara Safa — 2026-04-04

The Endhog-Endhogan tradition is one form of local wisdom practiced by the Muslim community in the Banyuwangi region of East Java to commemorate the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. This tradition is not only an integral part of the local community’s culture, but it also holds religious significance and embodies the values of Islamic education. This study aims to examine the meaning and values of Islamic education embedded within the Endhog-Endhogan tradition as a form of local wisdom among the Banyuwangi community. Endhog-Endhogan is a tradition practiced by the Muslim community in Banyuwangi to commemorate the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (Maulid Nabi Muhammad SAW). Through a qualitative approach employing field study and descriptive analysis methods, this research reveals that the tradition not only serves social and cultural functions but also contains Islamic educational values such as exemplary conduct, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), gratitude, and expressions of love for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). These values align with the principles of Islamic education, which emphasize the cultivation of noble character, the strengthening of faith, and the development of socio-religious character among learners. Hence, Endhog-Endhogan can be understood as a tradition that integrates Islamic teachings with local culture. The results of this study also aim to describe the sequence of the Endhog-Endhogan ritual and to explore the process of Islamization within this tradition as it has developed among the people of Banyuwangi.

Transforming Arabic Academic Writing Competence through ADDIE-Based Instructional Design: A Developmental Study

Aidha Zalidar Mirza — 2025-12-15

Despite mastering foundational grammar, non-native Arabic learners in higher education frequently encounter severe cognitive and structural paralysis when attempting to produce peer-reviewed academic research articles. This study aims to develop, validate, and evaluate the empirical effectiveness of specialized ADDIE-based instructional materials tailored for Arabic academic writing. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design, the study involved an exhaustive sample of 37 sixth-semester students at KH. Abdul Wahab Hasbullah University. The developmental phase produced a comprehensive seven-chapter module focusing on the anatomical structure of scientific papers, pre-writing operations, and academic metadiscourse. Instructional efficacy was measured using a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. Inferential statistical analysis revealed a highly significant improvement in students’ academic writing competencies (p < 0.001), with mean scores surging from a baseline of 37.84 to 86.43 following the intervention. Furthermore, the Normalized Gain (N-Gain) analysis yielded a score of 0.77 (76.99%), definitively classifying the module’s pedagogical impact as “High.” In conclusion, the systematic scaffolding provided by the ADDIE framework successfully dismantles students’ writing apprehension, bridging the critical gap between mechanical language acquisition and rigorous academic knowledge production.

Transforming Arabic Writing Skills through Qur’anic Expression Pattern-Based Insha’ Materials: A Developmental Study

Qintan Emilia Sholihah — 2025-11-18

The scarcity of specialized textbooks in Arabic writing instruction often leads to creative stagnation and a heavy reliance on passive translation methods at the secondary school level. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of composition instructional materials adapted from Dr. Nasaruddin Idris Jauhar’s methodology of Qur’anic expression patterns to enhance students’ writing proficiency. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the study involved 70 eleventh-grade students at SMA Al-Ishlah Ngasem Kediri. Expert validation results categorized the product as “Very Feasible” with a mean score of 83.84%. Inferential analysis using an independent samples t-test demonstrated a significant improvement in writing skills; the experimental group achieved a post-test mean of 86.76, substantially outperforming the control group’s mean of 80.00 (p < 0.001). In conclusion, utilizing authentic Qur’anic expression patterns as a cognitive framework is effective in transforming writing abilities from mere word reproduction to creative text production. This research offers a theoretical contribution to reconstructing core content based on authoritative text authenticity and a practical contribution by providing an innovative module to overcome Arabic literacy barriers in schools.
