Fauzan Azima — 2026-05-28

This study aims to analyze the forms of utilization, supporting and inhibiting factors, and the implications of the use of social media as a learning resource for Islamic Religious Education (PAI) for grade XI students of SMKN 1 Rao Selatan, Pasaman Regency. The use of social media in learning is important in the digital era, considering the characteristics of high school students who are very close to technology but do not yet have adequate digital literacy. This study uses a qualitative approach with a field research type. The research subjects included PAI teachers and grade XI students. Data collection techniques used participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis techniques used the Miles and Huberman interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation and data verification. The results of the study indicate that the use of social media in PAI learning is carried out through access to learning videos, religious materials, and group-based learning communication. Supporting factors include ease of access to technology, device ownership, and student interest, while inhibiting factors include limited digital literacy, lack of control over use, and the dominance of social media use for entertainment. The implications of this study indicate that the use of social media can increase student learning engagement if supported by directed learning strategies and strengthening digital literacy.

Genealogy of Islamic Religious Education Institutions in Minangkabau: From Surau to Madrasah in the Context of Socio-Religious Transformation

Herina Yanti — 2025-05-28

This article examines the genealogy of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) institutions in Minangkabau, which underwent a significant transformation from traditional surau-based institutions to the modern madrasah system. The genealogy of Islamic religious education institutions in Minangkabau is examined through the perspective of socio-religious transformation that took place from the 17th century to the early 21st century. Using a historical-descriptive approach and analysis of ulama networks, this study traces the institutional evolution of PAI from the pre-colonial era to the contemporary period of Islamic education reform. The findings indicate that the transformation of PAI institutions in Minangkabau is not merely a structural change, but a reflection of theological negotiations, socio-cultural adaptations, and responses to dynamic modernization. This study traces the institutional continuity and discontinuity from surau as a center of traditional education to madrasah as a modern educational institution. This study finds that the transformation is not linear but dialectical, colored by the tension between tradition and modernity, as well as the influence of global Islamic renewal movements. Structural factors such as Dutch colonialism, the emergence of Kaum Muda, and national education policies play a determinant role in restructuring the Islamic education system in Minangkabau. This article argues that the transformation process reflects the creative adaptation of the Minangkabau Muslim community to broader social changes, while also representing a negotiation of identity between local and universal Islamic values. This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of Islamic education in Southeast Asia, particularly in the context of societies that adhere to a matrilineal system.

Defrinal Defrinal — 2026-05-28

This article discusses the essence of Islamic education reform and Islamic educational institutions in the knowledge era. Islamic education reform is an imperative action in facing the challenges of globalization and the development of science and technology. The method used in this research is the documentation method, namely reviewing literature sources relevant to the topic studied. The results of the study indicate that professional educators in Islam are figures who master various disciplines while being able to transfer knowledge, internalize values, and implement good deeds. Islamic educational institutions including Islamic boarding schools play a strategic role in shaping the character of students with noble morals. Islamic education reform does not mean changing essential values such as monotheism, the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, morals, and worship, but rather updating methods, curriculum, and institutional management to be relevant to the needs of the times. Society's expectations of Islamic educational institutions are very high, namely that their graduates are not only intellectually intelligent but also have noble morals and are able to contribute to the progress of the nation and Islamic civilization.
