The purpose of this study was to investigate the leadership practices of Indonesian Islamic boarding school ( pesantren ) leaders, school principals, and teachers in responding to the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure the continuation of boarding school education in the “new normal” period. Generated using a moderated focus group discussion with principals and teachers, the findings suggest that principals' and teachers' leadership practices are acceptable in the policy, social support, and financial dimensions but still lack structural and teaching aspects about conducting blended learning. Based on this study's findings, pesantren leaders ( kyai ) and school principals should pay attention to training programs for implementing blended learning for teachers. The government is encouraged to assist in providing technical facilities pesantren can implement blended learning more effectively.

<span>This study aimed to develop and investigate the impact of the implementation of the Mobile-Learning Management System, which we call elektronik Bimbingan Baca al-Qur’an (e-BBQ, a word in the Indonesian Language), in fostering student’s worship. This research was conducted at Universitas Negeri Malang in the odd semester of the 2018-2019 academic year with ADDIE research design. The implementation stage was carried out with a one-group pretest-posttest design. As a result, the e-BBQ developed was in the form of applications and websites with some menus including Al-Qur'an learning, worship, training, and log in instructor. The evaluation by experts, as well as students and instructors showed that the products developed were suitable for use. e-BBQ has a positive effect; the quality of student’s worship increased significantly after participating in learning by utilizing e-BBQ. e-BBQ is considered to be an interesting medium for learning Islamic religion, able to make learning more enjoyable, and raise the student’s learning motivation</span>

The implementation of Al-Qur'an Reading Guidance (Belajar Baca Qur'an/BBQa word in the Indonesian language) program using traditional methods is considered not effective in terms of management, and lagging behind in terms of technology utilization. This has led to the development of a Learning Management System (LMS), specifically for Al-Qur'an learning, namely-BBQ. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of e-BBQ in improving the ability to read the Qur'an and the extent of e-BBQ acceptance by students and instructors in the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) 3. This study used a nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design by comparing two groups with and without e-BBQ, accompanied by interviews at the end of the study. The results showed that even though Al-Qur'an reading ability in both groups increased significantly, the increase in the e-BBQ group was higher than the group without e-BBQ. Student's and instructor's perceptions of e-BBQ showed that e-BBQ was considered easy and useful. In conclusion, e-BBQ is capable of enhancing students' Al-Qur'an reading ability. The usefulness and ease of use perceived by students became the main factors in this LMS acceptance, and helped them to improve their Al-Qur'an reading ability.

The ability to read Qurán of students with hearing impairments supported by special education is still not as expected due to the limited access to technology. The progress of technology such as a smartphone has led many people to adopt a view that the technology of application is very appropriate to be developed for their learning. In this study, we have developed an application called QUR'ANI to teach reading the Qur'an fluently and appropriately for students with hearing impairments. The method used was single subject research with the AB model. The effectiveness of this application in teaching the Qur’an for students with hearing impairments has been tested with positive effect. Besides, the teacher's subjective point of view in this application has also been consulted. This research found that there was a strong correlation between the components of reading fluency.

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1139 Muslims in Indonesia. Attitudes and practices were assessed using a questionnaire developed by researchers referring to the main points of the MUI fatwa. Of the 1139 participants, 73.5% were academics, and 63.8% held bachelor's degrees and higher, while gender and age-group comparisons were balanced. The average score of attitudes and practices about was 60.57 out of 70 and 5.35 out of 7. In general, the results of this study indicate that Indonesian Muslims have positive perceptions and submissive attitudes towards the MUI fatwa.

This paper reports on a qualitative study into developing a spiritualitybased Islamic education framework for university students. In Indonesia, developing a spirituality-based Islamic education framework in the schooling sector has been extensively carried out. However, such a notion seems sparse in the Indonesian higher education levels. This has prompted the university to start focusing on developing students' spirituality and their roles. This framework's development was derived from interviews with Islamic education lecturers about learning patterns at the universities. It also includes observations of core and supporting learning activities. Data were garnered through a qualitative approach to enable substantial descriptive data collection to the foundation for the framework's design. The findings are reported based on the designed framework. Recommendations for holistic religious education for the young generation at the Indonesian university level are discussed.

A student's perception of teacher effective communication influences the learning atmosphere. The measurement of perception indicates how students view the quality of learning. As few studies have explored the development of an appropriate measurement tool of students' perception of learning to read the Qur'an, this study aims to develop such a tool. Conceptual analysis and a survey using open-ended questions resulted in dimensions and items. Six experts and three instructors evaluated the content validity. The questionnaire was then administered to 421 participants -201 for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and 220 for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results successfully identified four dimensions that explained 64.6% of the variation. The instrument consisted of 13 items with satisfactory reliability and validity. The dimension with the highest coefficient path was 'understanding and friendliness' (UF), while the dimension of 'learning media' (LM) was the lowest. There was a significant influence of gender on the dimension of UF, as well as verbal (V) and non-verbal (NV) communication, while there were no differences in the dimension of LM. The questionnaire can be effectively used as a measurement device of dimensions related to students' perception of teacher effective communication in Qur'an learning.

<p>Todays health researchs prove that the breast milk contains a lot of content that is not found in milk formula, especially immunologic substances. Breast milk contains anti-infective agents that are clean and free of contamination. Immune substances that exist in immunoglobulins, secretory, and lactoferrin as well as the presence of factors that can stimulate Lactobacillus bifidus to protect baby’s digestive tract. Lately also known that breast milk can increase children’s intelligence. It could be due to nutritional milk, methods, or durations of breastfeeding. Research shows that a Taurine, Decosahexanoic acid (DHA) and Arachidonic acid (AA) exist in breast milk is very useful in the formation of the baby’s brain cells and accelerate the stimulus from the receptor organ to the brain, so that the response can be given in a fast time. Yet long before the WHO, researchers and human rights activists has been intensifying exclusive breastfeeding, the Koran was first called to breastfeed <em>h</em><em>}</em><em>awlayn kâmilayn</em> two full years. The Relevances between the activity of breastfeeding for two full years and the brain development of baby will be discussed in this paper.<strong></strong></p>
