https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/9655 <p><em>Background:</em> Teacher innovation and the implementation of humanistic learning in inclusive schools are important to ensure the creation of learning that respects diversity and meets the individual needs of all learners. <em>Aim: </em>This study aims to analyze PAI teachers' innovations in implementing inclusive education based on humanistic learning to improve the quality of inclusive and learner-centered learning. <em>Method: </em>This study used descriptive qualitative research with data collection techniques in the form of interviews. <em>Results and Dıscussion:</em> The results of this study indicated that PAI teachers' innovation is running well (89.78%) in inclusive education because PAI teachers are able to design and implement innovative learning strategies, including curriculum adaptation, use of relevant learning media, and approaches that pay attention to the special needs of inclusive learners, while humanistic-based learning is running very well (91.36%) in inclusive education because PAI teachers have successfully implemented humanistic learning principles, such as humanizing learners. This is illustrated in the learning process when conducting direct observation in the classroom and in the school environment that every teacher pays attention to every learner's needs. This successful implementation reflects the commitment of PAI teachers in encouraging the creation of a learning atmosphere that is full of empathy, respect for diversity, and supports the holistic development of learners, both in academic and non-academic aspects. These results are evidence that innovation and humanistic approaches are very relevant to support quality inclusive education.</p> Lilis Rahmawati Hamdanah Hamdanah Surawan Surawan Copyright (c) 2025 Lilis Rahmawati, Hamdanah, Surawan http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-11 2025-06-11 10 2 99 106 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9655 Development of Student Worksheets (LKPD) on Plane Figures Using Indonesian Traditional Houses for Grade IV Elementary/Islamic Elementary School Students https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/10027 <p><em>Background:</em> This study was motivated by the importance of developing valid and practical student worksheets (LKPD) that are student-centered to foster students' interest in learning mathematics. <em>Aim:</em> The study aims to examine the development process of student worksheets (LKPD) on plane figures using Indonesian traditional houses for Grade IV students.

Islamic education, as a value-based spiritual education system, holds significant potential in shaping inclusive and tolerant communities. However, challenges arise when exclusive interpretations of religious teachings hinder the development of a pluralistic educational approach. <em>Aim:</em> This study aims to examine the relationship between Islamic education and multicultural education management in efforts to develop an education system that is responsive to diversity. <em>Method:</em> The research employed a literature study approach by reviewing 50 scientific articles, from which 15 were selected based on their relevance to the theme, methodological approach, and contribution to the discourse. The selection process was carried out in three stages to identify articles that specifically addressed the values of pluralism, strategies of education management, and the challenges of implementation in the context of Islamic education. <em>Results:</em> The analysis revealed that pluralism, from the perspective of Islam, is an authentic value reflected in the teachings of the Qur’an, which emphasizes the importance of mutual understanding and respect for differences. Islamic education was found to be highly relevant to multicultural education management, as both prioritize justice, equality, and tolerance. Strategies identified include the integration of multicultural content into the curriculum, teacher training, inclusive classroom management, and anti-discrimination policies. <em>Discussion:</em> The study highlights key challenges, including limited teacher understanding of multicultural concepts, societal resistance to pluralism, and underdeveloped educational policies supporting diversity. To address these challenges, solutions such as curriculum reform, capacity-building for educators, and the creation of safe and inclusive learning environments are proposed. These strategies aim to strengthen the capacity of Islamic educational institutions to manage diversity effectively. <em>Conclusion:</em> This study concludes that Islamic education can serve as a strategic force in developing a multicultural education system. It contributes significantly to the creation of a peaceful, just, and respectful society by embedding the values of pluralism within educational management practices.</p> Rahmat Fauzi Khairil Anwar Copyright (c) 2025 Rahmat Fauzi, Khairil Anwar http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-19 2025-06-19 10 2 120 127 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9631 Utilization of Booklet Media in Providing Information Services for Students' Understanding of Career Choice https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/10029 <p>This study is an experimental research using the "One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design." The population of the study consisted of all 35 students in class XII MIPA 4 at MAN Kota Palangka Raya. The study used a sample selected through purposive sampling, a non-random sampling technique based on specific criteria or objectives. In this case, the targeted objective was students who were categorized as having low understanding of career decision-making. According to Arikunto (2017), if the subject number is fewer than 100, the entire population can be used as the sample. Therefore, the researcher used the entire population as the sample, since it was fewer than 100 students. The main data collection technique used by the researcher was a questionnaire distributed to assess the improvement in students’ understanding of career choices after being given informational services. Data analysis was conducted using parametric statistics through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, with the help of the SPSS version 25 statistical software, since the data was normally distributed. The researcher drew conclusions based on statistical results. The research findings showed that the result of the t-test using the Paired Sample t-Test was sig. 0.000 &lt; 0.05, and the calculated t-value (tcount) was greater than the table value (ttable), namely 10.822 &gt; 2.052. Thus, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of booklet media can assist students in understanding career choices in class XII MIPA 4 at MAN Kota Palangka Raya.</p> Mimi Suriatie Ramadhanti Rizka Oktamia Karuniaty Sangalang Copyright (c) 2025 Mimi Suriatie, Ramadhanti Rizka, Oktamia Karuniaty Sangalang http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-23 2025-06-23 10 2 128 134 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.10029 Learning Methods for Children with Dyslexia https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/9884 <p><em>Background:</em> Reading is an ability that every human being must possess. We will always encounter writings that require reading and comprehension skills. Still, dyslexic children have difficulty in Reading, which causes dyslexic children to experience a decline in academics and can potentially experience unpleasant behavioral problems from their environment, where children can be ignored by their friends, even to the point of becoming victims of bullying so that several methods need to be applied to help them. This study aimed to determine the various methods that can be applied to help dyslexic children. The research method used is a literature study that presents a complete survey by summarizing, describing, and combining relevant research, packaged using a narrative review. Four methods can be identified based on the journals collected: the Orton-Gilingham method, Treatment of spelling, Reading and writing skills, Learning to read without spelling (BMTM), and the Reading aloud method. The results of this study are expected to help teachers provide learning methods to dyslexic children.</p> Istiqamah Hafid Copyright (c) 2025 Istiqamah Hafid http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-23 2025-06-23 10 2 135 138 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9884 Implementation of Individualized Curriculum for Children with Special Needs in Inclusive Elementary Schools: A Systematic Literature Review in the Context of Palangka Raya https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/10123 <p><em>The Individualized Curriculum or Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a learning approach designed to accommodate the unique needs of Children with Special Needs (CSN) within inclusive education systems. This study analyzed 24 peer-reviewed articles using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with VOSviewer visualization to identify factors influencing IEP implementation in inclusive elementary schools, particularly within the Palangka Raya context. The review covered literature published between 2015 and 2024 and focused on the planning, execution, and evaluation of IEPs. Findings suggest that IEP success depends significantly on teacher competencies, supportive school policies, parental involvement, and access to adequate resources. While certain schools in Palangka Raya have initiated IEP practices, challenges remain in terms of structural, technical, and cultural barriers. VOSviewer-based visualizations highlight key focus areas in the literature such as "child," "special," and "elementary school," demonstrating an increased scholarly emphasis on inclusive practices. The study recommends enhancing teacher training, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and formulating locally tailored IEP guidelines.</em></p> Siti Juhairiah Qanaiya Yosheila Kinasih Doddy Teguh Yuwono Desy Selawaty Copyright (c) 2025 Siti Juhairiah, Qanaiya Yosheila Kinasih, Doddy Teguh Yuwono, Desy Selawaty http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 10 2 139 146 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.10123 Building A Moderate Muslim Generation: Strategic Analysis Of KMA 450/2024 In Preventing Radicalism In Madrasah Ibtidaiyah https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/9864 <p><em>Background:</em> This research examines the strategic role of KMA 450/2024 (Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs Number 450 of 2024) in building a moderate Muslim generation and preventing radicalism through madrasah ibtidaiyah education in Indonesia. With the largest Muslim population globally, Indonesia faces challenges from religious radicalism, particularly among youth aged 15-30 years who are vulnerable to radical ideologies spreading through digital platforms. <em>Method: </em>Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on document analysis, this research examines how radicalism prevention strategies are integrated into KMA 450/2024, what strategies are developed to build a moderate Muslim generation, and the implications for madrasah ibtidaiyah education. The findings reveal that KMA 450/2024 integrates radicalism prevention and religious moderation through three main dimensions: the integration of P5RA (Profile of Pancasila Students and Rahmatan lil Alamin) that develops wasathiyyah values, a flexible and contextual curriculum structure, and a focus on developing moderate Islamic character. In building a generation of moderate Muslims, the policy develops three key strategies: implementation of P5RA Projects based on Islam Rahmatan lil Alamin values, development of integrated thematic learning incorporating religious moderation values, and building a balance between religious and citizenship values to foster mutual respect in diversity. The implementation of KMA 450/2024 has significant implications: strengthening a systemic approach to address exclusivism at the root of radicalism, increasing the need for educator capacity in teaching religious moderation values, and reinforcing an educational ecosystem that supports inclusive character formation. <em>Conclusion: </em>The research concludes that KMA 450/2024 represents a strategic step in preventing radicalism through the internalization of religious moderation in madrasah ibtidaiyah education. Optimizing implementation requires developing contextual P5RA operational guidelines, enhancing educator capacity, and conducting evaluative research to continuously improve radicalism prevention efforts in Indonesia's madrasah ibtidaiyah education environment.</p> Dedy Irawan Khairil Anwar Copyright (c) 2025 dedyirawan Dedy http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 10 2 147 152 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9864 The Integration of the Curriculum of Love and Environmental Theology Concepts in Islamic Education at the Primary School Level https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/9780 <p><em>Background:</em> The integration of the Curriculum of Love and Environmental Theology in Islamic Education at the Primary School Level addresses the urgent need for a holistic educational framework that fosters intellectual development, moral character, and environmental consciousness among students. <em>Aim:</em> This study aims to (1) determine the urgency of integrating education based on the Curriculum of Love and Environmental Theology, (2) identify conceptual models for such integration, and (3) explore the challenges and opportunities in implementing this integration within Islamic education at the primary level. <em>Method:</em> Using a qualitative descriptive approach with library research methods, the study analyzes various literature sources, including scholarly books, journals, and articles related to love-based education, environmental theology, and Islamic education practices. Thematic analysis was employed to extract key themes and insights. The findings reveal that integrating love and environmental theology into the curriculum is crucial for shaping students who are not only academically competent but also compassionate, socially responsible, and ecologically aware. The conceptual integration model proposed includes an interdisciplinary approach, character education emphasizing compassion and stewardship, experiential learning such as outdoor and community-based activities, and incorporation of local wisdom and Islamic values. However, implementation faces significant challenges, including limited resources and infrastructure, resistance to curriculum changes, lack of teacher training, and societal attitudes inclined toward consumerism. Despite these barriers, notable opportunities exist to advance this integration through collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, parents, and communities. Innovative teaching methods, curriculum redesign, and the contextualization of Islamic teachings offer pathways to embed love and environmental values meaningfully into primary education. <em>Conclusion:</em> integrating the Curriculum of Love and Environmental Theology within Islamic Education at the Primary School Level is both necessary and feasible, offering transformative potential to produce a generation of students who are intellectually skilled, morally grounded, and environmentally conscious, ready to contribute positively to society and address global challenges.</p> Ummi Qudsiyah Khairil Anwar Fimeir Liadi Copyright (c) 2025 Ummi Qudsiyah, Khairil Anwar http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 10 2 153 163 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9780 The Interconnection of Huma Betang Values with the Philosophy of Pancasila in the Framework of Islamic Education at the Primary School Level at the Primary School Level https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/9840 <p><em>Backround:</em> Islamic education at the primary school level in Indonesia faces the challenge of integrating local cultural values with national ideology to build students’ character and social awareness. <em>Aim: </em>This study aimed to analyze the interconnection between Huma Betang values, rooted in Dayak culture, and the philosophy of Pancasila, and to explore how these values converge in the Islamic education curriculum to foster a generation with strong character and moderation. <em>Method: </em>Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research adopted an exploratory design with a systematic literature review. Relevant literature, including academic books, journal articles, and policy documents, was identified, selected based on defined criteria, and categorized into thematic groups. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis, enabling the identification, coding, and interpretation of recurring themes related to the integration of Huma Betang and Pancasila values in education. The findings revealed a significant convergence between Huma Betang principles—such as mutual cooperation, respect for diversity, and communal harmony—and the core values of Pancasila, including unity, humanity, and social justice. These values were embedded in the Islamic education curriculum through teaching materials, pedagogical strategies, and school activities like discussions, storytelling, and community-based learning. The integration of these values enriched the learning experience, cultivated social responsibility, and promoted tolerance among students, ultimately shaping individuals who are both academically competent and socially conscious. Despite the positive impacts, challenges remain, including limited resources, the need for teacher training, and translating philosophical concepts into practical curriculum implementation. Nonetheless, this integration holds considerable potential for strengthening national identity, preventing radicalization, and fostering an inclusive and harmonious society. <em>Conclusion:</em> the study underscores the importance of systematically incorporating both local and national values into Islamic education curricula at the primary school level to produce graduates with strong moral character and the capacity for social cohesion in a diverse society.</p> Harmini Harmini Khairil Anwar Copyright (c) 2025 Harmini Harmini, Khairil Anwar http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 10 2 164 170 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9840 Contextual Islamic Religious Education at the Primary School Level: Integrating the Banjar Life Philosophy into the IRE Curriculum https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/9802 <p><em>Background:</em> Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at the Primary School Level in multicultural societies such as Indonesia must evolve to remain relevant and impactful. One way to achieve this is by contextualizing IRE at the Primary School Level by integrating local cultural values. This study explores how the philosophical values of the Banjar ethnic group—such as baiman (faith), batakwa (piety), and basusila (morality)—can be effectively integrated into the IRE at the Primary School Level curriculum to enhance students' moral and character development. <em>Aim:</em> The objective is to identify and analyze strategies for embedding these local values into religious education while evaluating their influence on learners' moral behavior. <em>Method:</em> A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing thematic analysis and library research as the primary methods. Data were collected through document analysis, literature review, and secondary reports involving educational institutions in South Kalimantan. <em>Result and Discussions:</em> The findings show that integrating Banjar cultural values—such as cooperation (gotong-royong) and mutual respect—into IRE at the Primary School Level not only enhances the contextual relevance of the curriculum but also reinforces students' religious identity and social awareness. Results indicate that 75% of students better understood Islamic values when taught through culturally familiar practices. In comparison, 80% of respondents acknowledged a positive transformation in their character and discipline through contextual religious instruction. Discussion revealed that such integration supports a holistic educational approach, linking cultural identity with moral development. It also addresses gaps in conventional curricula by offering inclusive, place-based learning models. In conclusion, this study affirms the significant role of local wisdom in shaping ethical and religious values in education. It recommends systematic curriculum development, teacher training, and community collaboration to sustain culturally responsive IRE at the Primary School Level. Integrating Banjar values into religious instruction fosters academic understanding, stronger moral integrity, and cultural rootedness among students.</p> Moh.

Eco-Sufism, which blends spiritual values rooted in Sufism with ecological consciousness, offers a holistic framework to enhance Islamic education by fostering character development and environmental responsibility. This research aims to analyze how Sufi values—categorized into ethical, practical, and philosophical dimensions can be effectively incorporated into elementary-level Islamic education to shape students who are spiritually grounded and ecologically aware. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using thematic analysis, supported by library research. Literature on Islamic education, eco-Sufism, and relevant Qur'anic concepts such as ulul albab was reviewed and interpreted to develop an integrative educational model. The results indicate that Sufi-based education significantly contributes to students' moral and spiritual growth while promoting sustainable environmental behavior. Values such as zuhud (asceticism), tawakkul (trust in God), and muhasabah (self-reflection) are shown to enhance students' ecological sensitivity and encourage practices aligned with environmental stewardship. Furthermore, eco-pesantren practices, curriculum reforms, and Sufi-inspired pedagogical approaches support a paradigm shift toward integrative, value-based education. However, the study also identifies limitations in previous research, particularly the lack of empirical frameworks to assess the practical implementation of eco-Sufism in schools. This study proposes a contextually relevant model that combines Islamic identity reinforcement with environmental education, aiming to produce an intellectually capable, spiritually mature, and ecologically responsible generation.</p> Achmad Junaidi Khairil Anwar Copyright (c) 2025 Achmad Junaidi, Khairil Anwar http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 10 2 178 183 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9813 Integrating the Huma Betang Philosophy into Progressive Islamic Education in Elementary Schools: A Study on Curriculum Development https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/9899 <p>This study examines integrating the <em>Huma Betang</em> philosophy a way of life rooted in the Dayak community of Central Borneo into the curriculum of progressive Islamic education. The core values of <em>Huma Betang</em>, such as solidarity, collaboration, tolerance, and respect for diversity, align closely with the principles of Islamic education, which emphasize character formation and moral development. This research is motivated by the need to respond to the challenges faced by modern Islamic education, including those related to globalization, pluralism, and technological advancement. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, using a literature review approach through thematic analysis of relevant sources. The findings reveal that integrating <em>Huma Betang</em> values can enhance students' character development, increase social awareness, and foster an inclusive and contextual Islamic identity. Moreover, a curriculum incorporating local values has proven to be more relevant to the socio-cultural realities of the community, thereby improving the effectiveness of education. However, several challenges were identified, such as educators' low awareness of the importance of local wisdom, limited teacher training, and the rigidity of national curriculum regulations. This study recommends strategies such as local value-based teacher training, developing contextual pedagogy, and formulating a flexible curriculum that adapts to local culture. In conclusion, integrating the <em>Huma Betang</em> philosophy into Islamic education in elementary schools enriches the curriculum substantively and significantly contributes to producing graduates who are ethical, socially responsible, and ready to face global challenges without losing their cultural and spiritual roots.</p> Salasiah Salasiah Khairil Anwar Copyright (c) 2025 Salasiah Salasiah, Khairil Anwar http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-06-30 2025-06-30 10 2 184 190 10.33084/tunas.v10i2.9899 Fostering Ecological Awareness from an Early Age: Integrating Environmental Education Based on the Qur’an and Hadith into Primary School Learning https://journal.umpr.ac.id/index.php/tunas/article/view/10117 <div> <p class="Abstract"><em><span lang="TR">This study explores the integration of ecological messages from the Qur’an and Hadith into primary school education as a means to foster ecological awareness and character in young learners. Amidst the global environmental crisis, early education plays a pivotal role in shaping values and behaviors that support sustainability. While environmental themes are present in Indonesia’s primary curriculum, they often lack spiritual grounding. Islam offers rich theological and ethical foundations for environmental care, such as the prohibition of corruption (fas</span></em><em><span lang="TR">ā</span></em><em><span lang="TR">d), the role of humans as stewards (khalifah), the importance of balance (m</span></em><em><span lang="TR">ī</span></em><em><span lang="TR">z</span></em><em><span lang="TR">ā</span></em><em><span lang="TR">n), and commands for cleanliness. This qualitative research utilizes document analysis and content analysis to examine how these values can be contextualized in classroom practices. The findings reveal that the Qur’an and Hadith provide not only cognitive knowledge but also spiritual and moral imperatives that can be internalized through thematic learning, project-based activities, and character education. The Merdeka Curriculum and the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) enable cross-subject integration of Islamic ecological values in subjects like Islamic Education, Science, Social Studies, and Bahasa Indonesia.
