Pembelajaran Tafsir Al-Quran Berbasis Taksonomi Bloom: Ditinjau dari Pemahaman Literal ke Kontekstual

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir) instruction in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia faces challenges in fostering deep and applicable understanding of Qur’anic verses. Most instructional practices remain focused on lower-level cognitive aspects, such as memorization and literal comprehension, without sufficiently encouraging the critical and contextual analytical skills required to address contemporary issues. This article examines the importance of applying Bloom’s Taxonomy in tafsir instruction to enhance learners’ contextual understanding and to bridge the gap between the Qur’anic text and present-day contexts. Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an effective framework for designing learning processes that progress from basic understanding toward deeper and more applicative comprehension. By implementing a Bloom’s Taxonomy–based approach, tafsir instruction is expected to produce a generation of learners who not only memorize the text but also understand and apply Qur’anic values in their daily lives.

This study aims to analyze strategies for managing a safe and effective learning environment for early childhood through a literature review approach. The learning environment plays an important role in supporting children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral development; therefore, its management needs to be optimized. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review design, drawing from 15 relevant national and international journal articles published within the last ten years. Data collection was conducted through documentation and literature searching from various scientific databases, while data analysis employed content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that effective learning environment management strategies include organizing a child-friendly physical environment, strengthening a positive social-emotional climate, implementing play-based learning, ensuring the safety of outdoor environments, and developing an inclusive and sustainable learning environment. Teachers play a central role in creating a safe, comfortable, and participatory learning atmosphere for early childhood learners. This study contributes to the development of early childhood education, particularly in managing learning environments oriented toward safety, comfort, and learning effectiveness.

This study aims to evaluate learning as a strategy for strengthening students’ character (santri) in modern and traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). Employing a qualitative approach with a comparative case study method, the research analyzes the implementation of holistic learning in shaping students’ character, not only in terms of academic excellence but also encompassing spiritual, emotional, and social maturity. The focus of the study is not limited to the implementation of learning activities; rather, it specifically examines the learning evaluation systems applied by pesantren to measure students’ development in an integrated manner across the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The findings indicate that both types of pesantren possess distinct strengths in implementing holistic learning. Traditional pesantren tend to emphasize spiritual reinforcement and religious moral values, while modern pesantren integrate the development of 21st-century skills with pesantren values. Comprehensive learning evaluation has been proven effective in shaping students’ character in a balanced manner, integrating intellectuality, spirituality, and morality. These findings underscore the importance of holistic and contextual learning evaluation systems as strategic instruments in character education for students in pesantren.

This study aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) for selecting the best outstanding students by applying the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. This method was chosen because it has a strong mathematical concept, where the selected alternative not only has the shortest distance from the positive ideal solution, but also the farthest distance from the negative ideal solution.In this study, there are 7 assessment criteria used: knowledge score, skills score, number of awards/achievements obtained, number of absences, discipline score, ethics or morals score, and leadership score. Each criterion is then assigned a weight according to its level of importance so that the assessment process can be carried out more measurably and the results can reflect the actual conditions in accordance with the intended objectives. Based on tests conducted on 145 alternative 9th-grade student data at Al Fityan Private Junior High School Medan, the highest preference value of 0.822425 was obtained by Syifana Carissa Putri. Thus, the test results show that the TOPSIS method is able to perform ranking computations with high accuracy and produce objective recommendations for the best students. The conclusion of this study indicates that a DSS using the TOPSIS method is feasible and effective as a decision-making tool for school management.

Parental Support pada Anak Usia Dini dalam Menghafal Al-Qur’an: Integrasi Islamic Parenting dan Neuroparenting

Heni Handayani, Lukman Sarwana — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to explore the dimensions of parental support in assisting early childhood children in memorizing the Qur'an through the lens of House’s social support theory, while integrating it with the perspectives of Islamic Parenting and Neuroscience. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving eight parents who have children memorizing the Qur'an at an early age. The findings indicate that parental support manifests in four dimensions of House’s social support, namely: emotional support, which includes spiritual motivation, physical affection, and space for discussion; appraisal support, which includes verbal/physical appreciation and material rewards; instrumental support, which includes the utilization of media, time management and collaboration, as well as access to course facilities; and informational support, which includes information on Qur'anic content and role modeling. A unique finding of this study reveals the presence of a neuro-spiritual convergence, wherein parents, consciously or intuitively, apply brain-friendly (neuroscience-based) parenting patterns, such as maintaining emotional regulation to optimize hippocampal performance, as a form of implementing the methods of attention and advice (ma’idzah) within Islamic Parenting.
