GENDER EQUALITY IN THE HOUSEHOLD (THE STUDY OF BISRI MUSTOFA’S THOUGHT IN AL-IBRIZ LI MA'RIFAH TAFSIR AL-QUR'AN AL-'AZIZ)
The issue of gender equality has recently become a topic that is often discussed in Islamic studies. The Qur'an has also touched on human equality regardless of gender since thousands of years ago. Interpretations of these gender verses also vary, depending on the social construct in which the interpreter exists. This article aims to explore Bisri Mustofa's thoughts in Tafsir al-Ibriz li Ma'rifah Tafsir al-Qur'an al-'Aziz about verses with the theme of gender and the role of women, especially in the realm of marriage. This study examines how the efforts of a Javanese mufasir in interpreting verses about gender equality, especially regarding leadership in the household, so that the interpretation can be easily accepted by the Javanese people who at that time were very famous for their patriarchal culture. This article uses a descriptive-qualitative method. This article found that Bisri Mustofa's interpretation tends to be gender-biased, especially on the issue of leadership in the household. This tendency is due to the Javanese culture that surrounds it. However, Bisri provides an alternative that does not harm women, namely the issue of inheritance distribution. By doing a cultural engineering, she wants to provide a more moderate understanding of women's verses without having to abandon the views that have been firmly rooted in society. The accountability of al-Ibriz's interpretation of women's status and role shows that in his time, this interpretation could change the mindset and progressively influence the attitude of the people around him towards gender equality. In fact, until now, this book is still studied as teaching material in the salaf Islamic boarding school.
ANALYSIS OF ARABIC LEARNING STYLES OF CHOLERIC AND PHLEGMATIC CHARACTER STUDENTS IN THE 6TH SEMESTER OF THE ARABIC EDUCATION PROGRAM AT UIN MATARAM : ANALISIS GAYA BELAJAR BAHASA ARAB KARAKTER KOLERIS DAN PLEGMATIS MAHASISWA SEMESTER 6 PBA UIN MATARAM
This study aims to analyze the Arabic language learning styles of students with choleric and phlegmatic personality types in the Arabic Language Education Program (PBA) at UIN Mataram. The research employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative data from a Google Form questionnaire and qualitative data from observations and interviews. The findings indicate that choleric students tend to have an active, competitive, and practice-oriented learning style, favoring activities such as discussions, presentations, and exercises, and showing a preference for speaking skills (maharah kalam). In contrast, phlegmatic students tend to prefer a calm, structured, and reflective learning style, with a tendency toward listening (maharah istima’) and reading (maharah qira’ah) skills. These findings suggest that personality significantly influences students’ learning styles, although environmental factors and learning experiences also play a role. This research is expected to serve as a reference in developing adaptive Arabic language teaching strategies that align with students’ individual characteristics.

ANALYSIS OF SOCIAL MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES IN DA’WAH ECOLOGICAL FIQH
It is undeniable that all humans share a responsibility to address the climate crisis and environmental issues. In this context, Islam introduces the concept of ecological fiqh, known as “Fiqh Al-Bi'ah” in Arabic. However, many Indonesians, the majority of whom are Muslim, are either unfamiliar with or do not practice ecological fiqhi their daily lives. This research aims to explore ways to disseminate the study of ecological fiqh among the Indonesian population. Using a qualitative approach and a library research method, the author collects and classifies various reliable and relevant studies and articles on ecological fiqh and the role of social media as a tool for da’wah. The study concludes that social media offers a significant opportunity to promote ecological fiqh due to its five key characteristics: Reach, Accessibility, Usability, Immediacy, and Permanence. Additionally, the author identifies three challenges that preachers may face when disseminating ecological fiqh through social media: (1) Preachers must possess a high level of creativity to ensure the concept of ecological fiqh is relatable to all segments of Indonesian society. (2) Preachers need to select their language carefully, simplifying complex ideas and clearly outlining key points; otherwise, the study of ecological fiqh may be difficult for people to understand. (3) Preachers must serve as role models by demonstrating real actions in the community. Without this, the public may be less inclined to engage with or take action on ecological fiqh
PRELIMINARY STUDY: ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS FOR FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Primary school level, the physical education (PE) curriculum emphasizes the importance of fundamental movement skills (FMS) for monitoring and identifying students' abilities, making appropriate assessment essential. The availability of various assessment options for evaluating FMS allows schools to determine their own assessment methods. This article aims to conduct a preliminary qualitative descriptive study on the FMS assessment instruments that have been implemented in PE learning at primary schools. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews and documentation from PE Teachers. This preliminary study involved three primary schools in Tulungagung Regency as the sample. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings of this preliminary study highlight that the assessed FMS include locomotor skills such as running and jumping, while manipulative skills are assessed through volleyball service and underhand passing tests, evaluated by measuring quantity, time speed, and rubrics through practical tests, which are converted into a 100-point scale at the end of each semester. Additional findings revealed obstacles in the assessment process, including time constraints, limited sports facilities, and the lack of full authority for PE teachers to assign final grades. The conclusion of this preliminary study emphasizes the need for standardized, valid, reliable, and practical assessments of FMS. Implementing appropriate assessments enables schools to comprehensively monitor students' physical and motor development.
VISUAL LEARNING ANALYTICS IN PEER INSTRUCTION: MAPPING STUDENTS’ CONCEPTUAL TRANSITIONS IN KINEMATICS
Peer Instruction (PI) is widely known and most popular methods in physics. PI is an effective method for promoting student interaction and improving conceptual understanding in physics. However, instructors often lack real-time insights into students' thinking processes during PI. Guiding discussions effectively and addressing misconceptions became more challenging. This study examines how PI affects students' conceptual understanding and response transitions in kinematics, focusing on the visualization of response patterns using the Interactive Stratified Attribute Tracking (iSAT). The study involved 40 preservice science teachers and implemented eight conceptually rich multiple-choice questions (ConcepTests) adapted from Mazur's PI framework. Pre and post discussion responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normalized gain (N-Gain), paired sample t-test, and iSAT-based visualization. Results showed a significant increase in students' conceptual understanding after peer discussion (), with a moderate mean N-Gain of 0.30 and a large effect size (Cohen's ). Visual analysis using iSAT revealed important transition patterns such as correctly aligned and starburst on high gain questions, especially on non-graphic kinematics concepts. In contrast, questions involving motion graphs showed sliding and misaligned patterns, indicating persistent misconceptions and peer-driven response shifts toward incorrect choices. These findings suggest that while PI supports conceptual growth, it may inadvertently reinforce misconceptions in complex representational tasks. The integration of iSAT adds a valuable dimension to peer learning research by mapping students' transitions across discussion phases. Future research should explore instructional supports to reduce negative peer influence and strengthen understanding of graphical representations in physics.
THE ROLE OF EMPIRICISM PHILOSOPHY IN SOCIAL SCIENCE EDUCATION
The empirical approach, which emphasizes direct experience as the foundation of the learning process, plays a crucial role in Social Science Education (SSE). This approach aims to integrate students' real-life experiences with learning, enabling them to understand theories and apply them in everyday contexts. This study aims to explore the application of empiricist philosophy in enhancing students' understanding and critical thinking skills regarding social issues. The method used is library research with a content analysis approach, where data is collected from relevant literature, such as books, journals, and scientific articles. The findings indicate that the empirical approach, particularly through experiential learning and inquiry-based methods, enhances students’ active engagement in learning and hones their analytical and critical thinking skills in understanding various social phenomena. This approach allows students to actively participate in the learning process through observation, discussion, and experiments related to current social issues. However, implementing the empirical approach also faces challenges, such as limited resources, the need for teacher training, and the importance of balancing theory and direct experience. Nevertheless, empiricist philosophy remains essential in SSE, especially in fostering more meaningful, contextual, and responsive learning experiences that align with students' social realities. Thus, this approach not only provides a deeper understanding of social phenomena but also prepares students to become critical and socially aware individuals.
ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF FOREIGN TOURIST VISIT ON TOURISM ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NUSA TENGGARA
Tourism plays an important role in driving regional economic growth by increasing the consumption of goods and services, creating jobs, and encouraging local investment. This study aims to determine the extent of influence of foreign tourist visits on the economic growth of the tourism sector in the Nusa Tenggara region, which includes the provinces of Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). This study uses a quantitative approach with a panel data regression method (Ordinary Least Squares) that combines time series data (2015–2024) and cross-section data from three provinces. The variables used include the number of foreign tourist visits (X) and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) as an indicator of economic growth (Y). The results of the study show that foreign tourist visits have a positive and significant influence on regional economic growth, especially in Bali Province which has a more developed tourism infrastructure and strong international promotion. Meanwhile, the contribution of the tourism sector in NTB and NTT is still limited due to accessibility constraints and limited supporting facilities. This finding is in line with Solow's economic growth theory which states that capital, labor, and technology are important factors in economic growth. Foreign tourists are seen as a source of consumer capital inflows that drive productive activities in related sectors. Therefore, targeted tourism development needs to be continuously improved to strengthen regional economic growth in the Nusa Tenggara region.

In elementary schools, implementing differentiated learning is important because each student has different potentials, interests, and learning styles. This study aims to describe the role of teachers in designing and implementing differentiated learning to meet students' learning needs based on their learning styles. This type of research is a literature study analyzing various research results and theories related to differentiated learning in elementary schools. Data collection methods include identifying keywords, searching for articles and literature in online databases, and selecting literature. Data analysis uses content analysis by identifying themes, grouping data, and synthesizing. Data validity is carried out by triangulating sources cross-checking between literature, peer review, and audit trail. The study results indicate that teachers have a strategic role in differentiated learning as facilitators, motivators, planners, and evaluators. Teachers face challenges in differentiated learning, such as time constraints, uneven understanding of concepts, and minimal institutional support. The alternative solution is professional training, flexible material development, and collaboration between teachers, students, parents, and the school community. Differentiated learning has been proven to create inclusive and meaningful learning experiences and equal opportunities for all students to develop academically and personally. Therefore, strengthening teacher capacity is the main key to the success of implementing differentiated learning in elementary schools.
THE ROLE OF SCHOOL LEADERS IN CREATING A MOTIVATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR TEACHERS: THE CASE OF UPPER BASIC SCHOOLS IN THE GAMBIA
Students' academic success and failure are often attributed solely to the shoulders of their teachers. This perspective neglects school leaders' critical role in creating an environment that fosters teacher motivation and self-efficacy. Teachers and students operate directly under the guidance of principals, highlighting their significant role in ensuring both teachers and students have access to an environment conducive to effective teaching and learning. This study explores the strategies principals in upper-basic schools in the Gambia employ to foster a motivational environment for their teachers. Employing a qualitative research approach and a case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with school principals and analyzed thematically. Guided by Deci and Ryan’s SelfDetermination Theory, findings reveal that principals cultivate a motivational environment by maintaining an open-door policy, facilitating professional development, and implementing rewards and awards programs. These strategies portray school leaders' significant role in enhancing teachers’ intrinsic, professional growth, and job satisfaction. From these findings, the researcher concludes that fostering such an environment improves teaching quality and has broader implications for other professions with similar structures. These results provide insights into leadership and motivation, contributing to both practical and theoretical understanding for educational administrators and policy-makers in developing effective practices that promote teacher motivation, effective leadership, and performance tailored to local contexts.
IMPLEMENTING PERSONALIZED GAMIFICATION IN E-LEARNING TO INCREASE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Digital transformation in higher education has driven the widespread use of e-learning. However, although e-learning offers flexibility in time and place, the main challenge still faced is the low level of student engagement. Many students feel that e-learning is passive and unable to maintain focus and motivation to learn in the long term in one semester of lectures. This low engagement has an impact on low active participation, learning outcomes, and mastery and understanding of certain materials. The main problem raised is whether personalization of gamification elements can significantly increase student engagement compared to conventional e-learning approaches without personalization. To answer this question, this study uses a quasi-experimental method with a posttest design on one group, namely the experimental group using the gamification system. The instruments used include a three-dimensional student engagement questionnaire including behavioral, emotional, cognitive. With the gamification learning approach, it is able to adjust the level of challenge, type of reward, and learning path based on individual preferences and performance, which has a positive impact on student motivation and active participation. The conclusion of this study shows that as much as 83.13% of the use of gamification-based learning systems not only increases active participation, but also strengthens the emotional aspects and learning strategies of students positively. With a personalized gamification approach, it can be an innovative solution to improve the online learning experience that is more adaptive and interesting, especially for new students.

Furthermore, this paper explores the impact of globalization on gender equality in education and how initiatives such as Education for All and the Sustainable Development Goals contribute to reducing gender disparities worldwide. This study emphasizes the need for policy transformation, equitable teaching methods, and gender-responsive curricula in creating an education system that is truly inclusive and empowering for all.
DETERMINANT ANALYSIS OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX IN WEST NUSA TENGGARA
This study analyzes the determinants of the Human Development Index (HDI) in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) during the period 2010-2024 using the Vector AutoRegression (VAR) model. The results of the variance decomposition of HDI and its components, namely Healthy Life Expectancy (UHH), Average Years of Schooling (RLS), and Real Expenditure per CapitaL , indicate short-term stability characterized by the dominance of own-shocks in the initial variability of each indicator. However, in the long run, the interactions between development dimensions become more complex, with the contribution of UHH and RLS to the variance of HDI increasing significantly, highlighting the crucial role of health (SDG 3) and quality human capital (SDG 4) in development. Although the contribution of GRDP per capita is relatively moderate, its positive trend still underscores the importance of a decent standard of living (SDGs 1 and 8). Overall, this study concludes that human development in NTB is a multidimensional process that requires a holistic approach through policy integration in the health, education, and economic sectors, with the main focus on increasing UHH and RLS as well as efforts to create inclusive economic growth and reduce inequality to achieve sustainable and inclusive human development.

IMPLEMENTATION OF DEEP LEARNING IN THE PESANTREN CURRICULUM: A LITERATURE STUDY
This study aims to examine the implementation of the deep learning approach in the pesantren curriculum through a literature study. The deep learning approach in the context of learning refers to a learning process that emphasises conceptual understanding, deep reflection, and the interconnectedness of meaning between concepts. Pesantren as traditional Islamic educational institutions have distinctive learning characteristics, such as sorogan, bandongan, and halaqah methods, which basically have the potential to be developed towards deeper learning. Through literature analysis, it was found that the principles of deep learning are in line with pesantren educational values such as tafakkur, tadabbur, and deliberation. However, the implementation of this approach faces challenges, including a one-way learning culture and the limitations of innovative pedagogy. This study recommends the development of an integrative curriculum and training for educators so that learning in pesantren can take place in a more critical, reflective, and meaningful manner.
FRENCH DOMINANCE AND ARABIC MARGINALIZATION: LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, AND POWER IN POSTCOLONIAL MOROCCAN EDUCATION
Since gaining independence from French colonial rule in 1956, Morocco has officially recognized Arabic and Amazigh as national languages. Nonetheless, French continues to hold a dominant position in the country’s educational system and public administration, particularly in science, technology, and higher education. This study investigates the enduring influence of French from a postcolonial perspective, analyzing how language operates as a mechanism of power, identity construction, and social mobility. Drawing on Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism, this study argues that the persistence of French reflects more than colonial residue—it embodies epistemological hierarchies established during colonial rule. These hierarchies elevate Western knowledge systems and languages while framing Arabic, despite its status as both national and religious language, as traditional and less capable of supporting modern scientific discourse. This perception undermines Arabic’s historical role as a language of Islamic scholarship and scientific advancement during the Islamic Golden Age. This study also applies Faron’s theory of linguistic capital to demonstrate the dominance of French perpetuates social inequality, granting disproportionate advantages to French speaking elites while limiting opportunities for Arabic-educated populations. This dynamic exposes tensions between Morocco’s Islamic cultural foundations and the continued privileging of a colonial language. Through qualitative case studies and library research, this study highlights the implications of Morocco’s linguistic hierarchy on national identity, educational access, and the broader struggle for postcolonial sovereignty. The findings suggest that the linguistic preference for French undermines the potential for a decolonized, culturally rooted education system that aligns with Morocco’s Islamic heritage and aspirations for independent knowledge production.
AN ANALYSIS OF GEN Z'S SPEAKING DIFFICULTIES AND THE UTILIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLANGES
The objective of this study is to examine the challenges encountered by students in speaking classes. The ability to articulate ideas verbally is an essential skill for students pursuing a major in English, particularly in achieving academic and professional success. The factors influencing this speaking ability encompass linguistic elements, including vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and fluency, as well as non-linguistic factors such as fear, anxiety, and lack of motivation. The research method employed was a descriptive qualitative approach, with data obtained through the administration of questionnaires and interviews. The results indicated that the predominant challenges encountered by students were in the domains of grammar, vocabulary, and the apprehension of making errors and facing criticism. A variety of strategies have been employed by students to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. These include independent practice, the utilization of social media, learning through music and movies, and participation in a course program. The present study offers insights that may be of use to students in the process of self-reflection, as well as to lecturers in the evaluation of teaching methods. Furthermore, educational institutions may find it useful in the development of more effective curricula.
THE URGENCY OF LEARNING FUSHAH AND 'AMMIYAH ARABIC
Arabic is categorized into two forms such as 'fusha' (basic of Arabic) and 'ammiyah,' (Arabic that uses local dialects). The purpose of this study is to determine the difference between Arabic for Fusha and Arabic for 'ammiyah. Additionally, it is to know more about the urgency of learning them. This study uses a qualitative approach, with the type of library research focusing on collecting data related to the literature through reading and taking notes to process research materials. The results of this study find that Arabic learners need to learn fusha Arabic and 'ammiyah Arabic because there are differences in the use of both, fusha is used in official forums such as in schools, campuses, and seminars. However, 'ammiyah is used in everyday communication such as in markets, homes, public places, hajj and umrah. Therefore, fusha Arabic pays close attention to the rules of nahwu and sharf in its use while 'ammiyah Arabic does not.
THE PROFILE OF STUDENTS' SELF-EFFICACY IN CHEMISTRY LEARNING DURING THE TRANSFORMATION OF GENERATIVE AI USAGE
The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) in chemistry education offers an innovative shift in teaching abstract concepts and high cognitive demands. This study aims to investigate the self-efficacy profile of students related to the application of GAI in chemistry learning. Using a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey design, this study involved 44 students of the Chemistry Education Study Program at the Islamic University of Indonesia, Yogyakarta, who completed a validated self-efficacy questionnaire. This instrument measures three dimensions of self-efficacy, namely level, generality, and strengthData analysis shows that most respondents (38.64%) have self-efficacy in the medium category with an average score of 67.68, while 29.55% are in the low category (63.94). As many as 20.45% of respondents have high self-efficacy with an average score of 72.76. The dimension of optimism towards AI-assisted task completion showed the highest score (70.55), reflecting students' positive perception towards AI as a learning partner. However, the predominance of moderate and low self-efficacy levels indicates challenges related to digital literacy, technology anxiety, and suboptimal pedagogical integration of GAI. These findings indicate that the effectiveness of GAI in enhancing academic confidence and self-directed learning is contingent upon adequate instructional support, effective faculty facilitation, and institutional preparedness. Thus, GAI implementation in education must prioritize the development of a pedagogical framework that considers students' psychological readiness and digital competencies
ETHNOSCIENCE AS A LEARNING APPROACH IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: RAISING CULTURAL AWARENESS THROUGH SCIENCE
