AI-Based Adaptive Learning Platform: a Solution to Personalized Education in High Schools with Limited Infrastructure

Ian Harum Prasasti — 2026-02-12

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) educational technology presents new opportunities to improve the quality of learning, including in junior high schools with limited infrastructure. The main challenges for schools with limited infrastructure are limited accessibility to learning resources, a lack of teaching resources capable of providing personalized services, and limited adaptation of learning to individual student needs. Research focuses on the development of an AI-based learning platform capable of delivering a more personalized, efficient, and inclusive learning process. The planned platform aims to adapt content, learning methods, and learning pace to suit student profiles and needs. This study applies the Research and Development (R&D) method by adapting from Plomp which includes preliminary research, prototyping and assessment. Data collection techniques used interviews and observations in junior high schools in Lampung Province involving 28 students and 4 teachers as the main respondents. The results of this study using an AI-based algorithm, this system is designed to provide AI-based material recommendations to identify student weaknesses in teaching materials, synchronization features to update materials and questions when the platform is online, a student progress dashboard, and a collection of questions. Initial data shows the potential for increasing motivation and student engagement despite the limitations of school infrastructure conditions. This research provides added value to the development of inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable educational technology solutions, especially in the context of high schools with limited resources.

Religious Habitus and Social Solidarity of Islamic Boarding School Students: A Sociological Analysis of Islamic Education from the Perspective of Ibn Khaldun's Thought

RIFKA HAIDA RAHMA — 2026-03-05

The phenomenon of declining social solidarity among modern santri (Islamic boarding school students) reflects a shifting value orientation within the pesantren environment. This condition raises an academic question about how pesantren, as traditional Islamic educational institutions, can maintain their religious habitus and social cohesion amid the growing forces of modernization and individualism. The gap between the ideality of Islamic education—emphasizing the formation of religious-communal character—and the increasingly fragmented social reality necessitates a profound sociological investigation. This study aims to analyze the religious habitus and social solidarity of santri within the framework of Islamic educational sociology based on Ibn Khaldun’s thought. The research employs a qualitative library-based method with an integrative approach that combines modern sociological theories (Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus and Émile Durkheim’s solidarity) with Islamic paradigms (the Qur’an, Hadith, and Ibn Khaldun’s Muqaddimah). Data were obtained through critical analysis of relevant classical and contemporary literature and examined using content analysis techniques to identify conceptual patterns and theoretical synthesis. The findings indicate that pesantren function not only as institutions for transmitting religious knowledge but also as arenas for value reproduction that shape the identity of santri. Religious habitus is formed through worship routines, moral discipline, and teacher–student relationships, while social solidarity grows through collective practices such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), ta’awun, and ukhuwah. Ibn Khaldun’s concept of ‘ashabiyyah provides a strong theoretical foundation for understanding santri solidarity as a social force sustaining the existence of pesantren. This study affirms that Islamic education should be understood as a social process that develops both religious individuals and empowered communities, while contributing theoretically to the development of Qur’an- and Hadith-based Islamic education studies within an interdisciplinary perspective.

Students' Engagement and Perception towards Learning Arabic Vocabulary through the Total Physical Response Method (TPR)

Dimas Fikal Cahya Hakiki — 2026-03-07

Vocabulary learning is a fundamental component in Arabic language acquisition and requires a teaching approach capable of helping students understand and retain vocabulary effectively. This research aimed to describe the engagement and perceptions of students regarding the use of the Total Physical Response (TPR) method in Arabic vocabulary learning in the seventh grade of Al-Muqoddasah Junior High School (SMP). The research used a qualitative approach with a case study research type that involved 32 students as participants. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's model. The research results indicated that the majority of students stated that the TPR method helped them understand and remember vocabulary more easily. Students appeared active in following instructions, showed high focus, and responded to movements with enthusiasm. The interviews revealed that students viewed movement-based learning as more enjoyable, less boring, and as enhancing their learning motivation. Although there were technical constraints such as limited classroom space, these obstacles did not affect the students' positive perceptions of the TPR method. This research concluded that using the TPR method was capable of increasing student engagement and building positive perceptions in Arabic vocabulary learning, and provides recommendations for integrating this method more systematically into learning at the junior high school level.
