2025-12-23T10:33:41+00:00

Learning motivation is one of the main factors determining students’ success in learning mathematics. A lack of learning motivation can cause students to be less actively involved and experience difficulties in understanding the material being studied. Therefore, it is necessary to implement learning strategies that can encourage student engagement and enhance their learning motivation. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Practice-Rehearsal Pairs active learning strategy and its effect on students’ motivation in learning mathematics. The research employed a descriptive approach with students of class XE6 as the control group and class XE8 as the experimental group at SMAN 1 Koto XI Tarusan. The experimental class was taught using the Practice-Rehearsal Pairs active learning strategy, while the control class used the conventional teaching method commonly applied by the teacher. Research data were collected through classroom observations during the learning process and the distribution of learning motivation questionnaires to students. The data obtained were then analyzed descriptively to examine differences in learning motivation between the control and experimental classes. The motivation indicators observed included student activeness, interest in participating in learning activities, perseverance in completing assignments, and students’ level of self-confidence in learning mathematics. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the Practice-Rehearsal Pairs active learning strategy has a positive impact on students’ motivation in learning mathematics. Students became more enthusiastic, actively participated in learning activities, showed greater perseverance, and demonstrated increased self-confidence. Thus, the Practice-Rehearsal Pairs active learning strategy can be used as an alternative instructional approach to improve students’ motivation in learning mathematics.

2026-01-07T06:28:11+00:00

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing tardiness and absenteeism of student YN in Grade XII C at Sint Carolus Catholic Senior High School, Penfui, Kupang, during the 2025/2026 academic year. The research employed a qualitative approach using a guidance and counseling case study method. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with the homeroom teacher, subject teachers, and the guidance and counseling teacher, as well as documentation analysis in the form of daily attendance records. Data analysis was conducted through problem identification, diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutic intervention, and the formulation of conclusions and follow-up actions. The findings indicate that the student’s tardiness and absenteeism were caused by a combination of internal and external factors. Internal factors included laziness, low learning motivation, poor time management skills, and a tendency to stay up late due to excessive gaming. External factors comprised negative peer influence, a lack of parental supervision and attention, and the relatively long distance between the student’s home and the school. The impact of these problems was reflected in decreased academic achievement, reduced concentration during learning activities, undisciplined behavior, and less harmonious relationships with teachers and classmates. Intervention was carried out through individual counseling services using a self-management technique, along with educational guidance on time management, self-control, and the selection of positive peer environments. The evaluation results showed initial improvements in the student’s self-awareness and sense of responsibility toward school tasks; however, further development requires continuous assistance and collaboration among the guidance counselor, homeroom teacher, and parents. This study emphasizes that students’ learning discipline is the result of an interaction between personal and environmental factors and therefore requires an integrated approach for effective resolution.

The Dynamics of Ushul Fiqh in the Formulation of Contemporary Islamic Law: An Analysis of Istihsan, Maslahah Mursalah, 'Urf, and Sadd al-Zari'ah

2025-12-26T06:49:24+00:00

This study analyzes the dynamics of ushul fiqh in the formulation of contemporary Islamic law through an in-depth examination of four ijtihad methodologies: istihsan, maslahah mursalah, 'urf, and sadd al-zari'ah. The research employs a library research approach with content analysis methods applied to classical and contemporary ushul fiqh literature. Data is collected from primary sources, including classical ushul fiqh texts, and secondary sources such as relevant journals, books, and scholarly articles. The analysis is conducted descriptively-comparatively to identify the characteristics, applications, and relevance of each methodology in the context of contemporary Islamic law. The findings indicate that all four methods exhibit significant flexibility and applicability in addressing contemporary legal issues. Istihsan provides more just legal solutions through a substantive justice approach, maslahah mursalah allows for the formulation of laws based on public interests not explicitly mentioned in the texts, 'urf accommodates the social and cultural values of society, and sadd al-zari'ah serves as a preventive measure against potential harm. This research reveals that integrating these four methods within the framework of maqasid al-shari'ah can result in responsive, progressive legal rulings that remain rooted in the foundational principles of shari'ah. The study recommends the development of a methodological framework that integrates these four methods as an alternative solution to address the complexities of contemporary Islamic legal issues.
