A qualitative research design was utilised, encompassing document analysis and focus group talks. The document analysis examined literature and educational resources pertaining to both Game-Based Learning (GBL) and Islamic education, while focus group conversations with educators from Islamic schools offered insights into their experiences and perceptions of GBL. The results demonstrate that GBL is congruent with various Islamic educational principles, including self-reflection and feedback, individualised learning, incremental learning, and cooperative learning. Educators indicated that game-based learning substantially boosts student enthusiasm and enhances academic performance. Nonetheless, problems including resource limitations, curriculum alignment, and the necessity for professional development were recognised. Recommendations for successful integration encompass the creation of game-based learning materials specifically designed for the Islamic setting, offering training for educators, and tackling resource constraints. This study emphasises that the incorporation of Game-Based Learning (GBL) into Islamic education presents a viable method for improving educational experiences, contingent upon the resolution of implementation challenges and adherence to Islamic standards.</p> Murni Zulkefli, Asyraf Isyraqi bin Jamil (Author) Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Islamic Educational Research https://sare.um.edu.my/index.php/JIER/article/view/55154 Fri, 13 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0800 40 Tahun Pelaksanaan Program Khas Bahasa Arab (PKBA) Sarawak di Universiti Malaya: Satu Analisis Retrospektif https://sare.um.edu.my/index.php/JIER/article/view/55515 <p>Program Khas Bahasa Arab (PKBA) Sarawak merupakan satu aspirasi yang lahir atas semangat membangunkan anak watan dengan ilmu agama yang mampan. Majlis Islam Sarawak (MIS), Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi (KPT), kerajaan pusat dan Akademi Islam Universiti Malaya (kini dikenali sebagai Akademi Pengajian Islam Universiti Malaya) merupakan antara entiti penting yang membawa kepada tertubuhnya program ini. Umumnya, penubuhan PKBA Sarawak adalah berfokus kepada partisipasi anak watan Sarawak dalam mempelajari Bahasa Arab secara khusus selama setahun atau dua semester. Kemudian, pelajar lepasan program ini akan menyambung pengajian agama di peringkat Asasi sehingga ke peringkat Sarjana Muda. Alumni keluaran program ini akan kembali semula ke tanah air mereka untuk menyebar luas kefahaman Islam kepada masyarakat mengikut bidang dan kepakaran masing-masing. Justeru, dengan mengambil kira faktor usia program yang telah mencecah 40 tahun pelaksanaannya, maka objektif artikel ini adalah untuk menyorot faktor penubuhan dan pelaksanaan PKBA Sarawak di Universiti Malaya dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis retrospektif. Pengaplikasian pendekatan ini membantu dalam meninjau semula perjalanan dan faktor penubuhan PKBA Sarawak dengan menganalisis dokumen-dokumen rasmi yang berkaitan. Hasil artikel ini menunjukkan 40 tahun pelaksanaan PKBA Sarawak di Universiti Malaya telah melakar kejayaan menerusi alumninya yang sedang berkhidmat di Sarawak dalam pelbagai bidang agama.</p> Hafeezur Rahman Howell, Abd.

Kajian lepas menunjukkan bahawa pengaplikasian e-pembelajaran bagi menggantikan sesi pembelajaran bersemuka secara fizikal di dalam kelas memberikan beberapa implikasi kepada perkembangan sahsiah murid. Ketiadaan garis panduan e-pembelajaran yang khusus dari aspek pembinaan sahsiah murid menyebabkan guru kurang bersedia dan kurang berpuas hati dengan perkembangan sahsiah murid semasa proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran dilaksanakan melalui medium e-pembelajaran. Garis panduan e-pembelajaran yang sedia ada kebanyakannya lebih tertumpu kepada pelajar di peringkat institusi pengajian tinggi. Namun begitu, walaupun garis panduan e-pembelajaran sedia ada telah dikeluarkan namun, didapati pelajar-pelajar masih gagal untuk mengikuti garis panduan tersebut sebagai warga digital yang betul. Ini menunjukkan masih terdapat kelompangan dari segi garis panduan e-pembelajaran sedia ada dalam menjadikan pelajar sebagai warga digital yang berhemah. Oleh itu, dengan menggunakan perisian Nvivo versi 1.7, kajian ini dijalankan terhadap Guru Pendidikan Islam sekolah rendah untuk mengkaji sejauh mana garis panduan e-pembelajaran sedia ada membantu mereka dalam melaksanakan tanggungjawab membina sahsiah murid melalui pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam sekolah rendah secara dalam talian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa terdapat keperluan dalam membuat penambahbaikan garis panduan sedia ada bagi tujuan pembinaan sahsiah murid melalui e-pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam berdasarkan permasalahan dan isu-isu yang dihadapi oleh guru semasa pelaksanaan e-pembelajaran. Oleh itu, diharapkan cadangan garis panduan pembinaan sahsiah murid sekolah rendah dalam pengaplikasian e-pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam dapat memberi informasi terbaharu kepada guru Pendidikan Islam khususnya yang bertanggungjawab dalam membentuk sahsiah murid.</p> Nur Eliza Mohd Noor, Tengku Sarina Aini Tengku Kasim, Yusmini Md.

Melalui pendekatan kuantitatif dengan reka bentuk tinjauan keratan rentas, seramai 300 orang guru Pendidikan Islam di sekolah menengah harian Sabah telah terlibat dalam kajian ini. Data telah dikumpul melalui soal selidik PTPK dan amalan kreativiti pengajaran, seterusnya dianalisis dengan pemodelan persamaan berstruktur melalui SEM-AMOS versi 26.0. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan PTPK memberi pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap amalan kreativiti pengajaran (β = 0.386, p &lt; 0.001), namun pengalaman mengajar tidak menampilkan kesan moderasi yang signifikan terhadap hubungan tersebut (Δχ²= 7.67, p = 0.906). Dapatan ini mendapati bahawa keberkesanan PTPK bersifat universal merentas semua peringkat pengalaman, sekali gus menyumbang kepada pengembangan teori PTPK dalam konteks pendidikan Islam serta memberi implikasi penting terhadap pembangunan profesional guru dan transformasi pedagogi pengajaran Sirah dan Tamadun Islam ke arah yang lebih progresif dan inovatif dalam era digital.</p> Jahidih Saili, Muhamad Suhaimi Taat, Nurul Hamimi Awang Japilan (Author) Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Islamic Educational Research https://sare.um.edu.my/index.php/JIER/article/view/57219 Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0800 Exploring the Practice of Creative Teaching among Islamic Education Teachers in Nigeria: A Survey Study https://sare.um.edu.my/index.php/JIER/article/view/47350 <p>Creative teaching makes learning more enjoyable, meaningful, and engaging. It helps students learn beyond memorisation by improving their thinking skills, which allows them to think creatively, make decisions, and justify their decisions to solve problems independently. Thus, practising creative teaching became more significant since the call for shifting the teaching and learning paradigm from traditional to effective and interactive learning to meet the 21st-century educational goals, which aim to prepare competent individuals for the challenges of the information age. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate teachers’ perception of creative teaching, how they implement it in their classrooms, and examine the relationship between their perception and practice of creative teaching in Islamic education. The study employed a survey design with 120 Islamic education teachers participating. The findings revealed high perception and creative teaching practices among Islamic education teachers and showed a significant relationship between teachers’ perceptions and creative teaching practices. These findings support existing studies that emphasise the importance of teachers’ perceptions in shaping their teaching practices. It also highlights understanding, belief, and attitude as crucial factors that can enhance the implementation of creative teaching methods in their classrooms.</p> Abdulkareem Idris Aiyetoro, Auwwal Kabara Halabi, Momnsur Olawale Zakariyah (Author) Copyright (c) 2024 Journal of Islamic Educational Research https://sare.um.edu.my/index.php/JIER/article/view/47350 Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0800 The Role of Contemporary Teacher Education Institutions in Preparing Future Religious Teachers https://sare.um.edu.my/index.php/JIER/article/view/56726 <p>Malaysia is well-known for its diversity of ethnicity, cultures and religions, with Islam as the official religion at the federal level. In the context of Malaysia <em>MADANI</em>, education plays a crucial role, especially in maintaining the harmony of the country’s pluralistic society. Therefore, education continues to be empowered through modern teacher education institutes that train those in the teaching profession to produce individuals as agents to further the educational process. Educational institutions have existed for a long time and have developed through various institutions. Therefore, this writing aims to highlight the role played by the Academy of Islamic Studies, Universiti Malaya (APIUM) as a contemporary teacher education institution preparing prospective religious teachers who will lead education in this country. This study uses the literature review method involving content analysis of written materials such as academic journals, theses, books and so on. The results of the study prove that APIUM plays a significant role in providing quality future religious teachers and helping shape them as civic educators who will spread devotion and realize the aspirations of Malaysia <em>MADANI.</em></p> Nurhasfirah Rosin, Abd.
