PRACTICE-BASED FIQH LEARNING TO ENHANCE STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING: A CASE STUDY AT MTS AL-MAHRUSIYAH KEDIRI, INDONESIA

Muhammad Fiqih Alwafah — 2025-11-30

This study investigates the implementation of practice-based fiqh learning in improving students’ understanding at MTs Al-Mahrusiyah Kediri, Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The results indicate that the learning planning was systematically arranged through the preparation of lesson plans (RPP), which included learning objectives, mastery of materials, learning methods, instructional media, and evaluation instruments. The implementation of practice-based fiqh learning was carried out in three main stages: the opening stage (greeting and attendance checking), the core stage (material explanation followed by direct student practice), and the closing stage (reflection and prayer). Evaluation was conducted using written tests, oral assessments, and direct performance assessments. These findings imply that practice-based fiqh learning effectively enhances students’ conceptual and practical understanding and can be applied as an alternative instructional model for Islamic education teachers in madrasah settings.

Rofatayatun — 2025-11-30

Character education is a central issue in the modern era, where the family plays a fundamental role in forming akhlak al-karimah (noble character) as the primary goal of tarbiyah (Background). This study aims to examine the role of the family in children's character formation according to Abdurrahman An-Nahlawi and Ki Hajar Dewantara, and to find the point of convergence (synthesis) between Islamic and national education perspectives (Objective). The method used is qualitative (qualitative method) and library research with comparative analysis (comparative analysis) of the original works of both figures (Method). The main findings indicate that An-Nahlawi emphasizes the family as the main fortress with the roles of Religious Builder and Protector, while Dewantara places the family as the center of Budi Pekerti (moral character) through the roles of Guide/Teacher and Role Model (Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha). Both figures converge on Modeling (Keteladanan) as the core of success. In Conclusion, their thoughts are synergistic, where the Budi Pekerti framework can be filled with An-Nahlawi's spiritual substance. This success depends on warm interaction, parental modeling, and active partnership between the family and the school.
