Constructing the Meaning of Women in Islamic Education: A Discourse Analysis of Kitab Kuning from a Philosophy of Science Perspective
As a faith-based educational institution, the pesantren initially emerged as a center for the cultivation of religious values and the dissemination of Islam. Because its primary character is that of an Islamic educational institution, the pesantren has, over time, systematically developed a distinctive Islamic tradition. One enduring hallmark of this tradition is the continued practice of reading and teaching kitab kuning (classical Islamic texts). Sustained for generations, the study of kitab kuning has become a substantive and authoritative reference within pesantren communities. Moreover, the pesantren’s emphasis on the continuity of sanad, which traces chains of transmission back to the Prophet and earlier scholars, positions kitab kuning not merely as instructional materials but also as a medium for transmitting scholarly authority grounded in recognized lineages of knowledge. However, when classical texts are treated as normative references, their discourse may operate as an epistemic regime that legitimizes particular moral orders and shapes socio-religious identities within educational practice. This article examines how Shaykh Nawawi al-Bantani’s ‘Uqūd al-Lujayn fī Bayān Ḥuqūq al-Zawjayn constructs meanings about women and how these meanings are reproduced as pedagogical “truths” in Islamic education in pesantren. Methodologically, this study employs a library research design by integrating: (1) Michel Foucault’s power/knowledge framework to explain regimes of truth and disciplinary normalization; (2) Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis to map textual strategies and their articulation with discursive and social practices; and (3) Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy to formulate a dialogical reconstruction of learning. The primary data are drawn from the Indonesian translation, Syarh ‘Uqūd al-Lujayn (Etika Berumah Tangga), including its internal citations (Qur’anic verses, hadith reports, and moral narratives). Secondary data consist of recent scholarly studies on gender discourse in pesantren, kitab kuning scholarship, and reputable theoretical works in hermeneutics and philosophy of education. Findings based on the primary text indicate that ‘Uqūd al-Lujayn frames women predominantly within a relational and hierarchical ontology centered on husband and wife relations, elevates obedience and domestic piety as moral ideals, and strengthens its claims through the situated citation of scriptural evidences and appeals to scholarly authority. This argumentative structure generates asymmetric moral standards that may function as a hidden curriculum in pesantren learning. The article contributes to Islamic educational philosophy by offering an epistemological critique of classical-text authority and proposing a pedagogical reconstruction through critical and dialogical reading, contextual hermeneutics, and gender-just interpretive principles.

Lecturer's Strategy In Developing Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) Through The Deep Learning Approach In Macroeconomic Theory Courses
The development of higher education in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era requires students to have higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). However, in practice, HOTS development still faces various challenges in the university environment. Several studies show that students still tend to memorize economic concepts without being able to connect them to real phenomena. Based on this context, this study aims to analyze in-depth lecturers' strategies in developing higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) through a deep learning approach in Macroeconomic Theory courses. This study applies a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with lecturers and students. Data analysis refers to the Miles and Huberman model which includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing supported by the use of Nvivo software. The results of the study show that lecturers apply learning strategies based on macroeconomic case study analysis, policy evaluation, and the creation of academic solutions that encourage students' HOTS. This strategy is combined with deep learning that includes meaningful learning, mindful learning, and joyful learning, thereby increasing cognitive engagement, reflective awareness, and student learning motivation. The conclusion of this study states that the strategy used by Macroeconomic Theory lecturers through a deep learning approach is effective in developing students' higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), particularly in analyzing, evaluating, and creating. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as student readiness, lecturers' pedagogical skills, and limited learning resources and time allocation.

Students’ Perceptions of the Utilization of Artificial Intelligence in the Learning Process
This study aims to explore the perceptions of Economic Education students at Muhammadiyah University of Sampit regarding the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in the learning process. The integration of AI in higher education has become a global phenomenon that is transforming learning paradigms; however, understanding of how students evaluate and interpret this technology remains limited, particularly within the context of Economic Education in Indonesia. This study involved 15 students selected through purposive sampling and employed a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically using NVivo 12 Pro. The findings reveal that students perceive AI as enhancing learning effectiveness, being easy to use, and fostering academic motivation and independence. Four major themes emerged: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward using, and behavioral intention to use. The acceptance of AI was found to encompass not only technological dimensions but also social-emotional aspects. This study reinforces the relevance of TAM within the Indonesian higher education context and provides implications for developing ethical, creative, and adaptive technology-based learning policies aligned with students’ needs in the digital era.

Phonological Interference in the Pronunciation of the Latin Script and Dictation Performance among BIPA Learners with Non-Latin Script Backgrounds (Thailand–Cambodia)
This study aims to describe the forms and causal factors of phonological interference in the pronunciation of the Latin alphabet and to examine their impact on the dictation performance of Indonesian as a Foreign Language (BIPA) learners from non-Latin script backgrounds. The data consist of pronunciation errors and dictation writing errors, specifically problematic phonemic and vowel contrasts. The results show phonological interference in the form of voiced–voiceless consonant substitutions (b–p, g–k, t–d, s–z), affricate confusion (c–j), liquid consonant interchange (r–l), reduction of mid–high vowel contrasts (e–i), and reduction of back vowel contrasts (o–u). This interference is apparent simultaneously in spoken production and in the written form of dictation, indicating a disruption in phonemic perception rather than merely in articulation. The primary causes of this interference lie in the differences between the phonological systems of the learners’ native languages (Thai and Khmer) and Indonesian; the differences in script systems (non-Latin versus Latin); and the phonological transfer from English as an intermediary language and source of Latin letter pronunciation patterns. The proposed pedagogical implication is the need to reinforce the stage of script familiarization as a process of phonological reconstruction through minimal pair exercises, phonemic perception training, articulatory exercises, and the regular use of diagnostic dictation exercises.

Mathematics Learning Using the Traditional Papuan Media Approach “Omtim (Sago Leaf Veins)”
Learning mathematics may seem boring and difficult for some, but for many, it's a knowledge that can provide solutions and significantly assist people in achieving their dreams. For example, becoming proficient in mathematics can help others gradually develop a love for learning mathematics. Mathematics is a highly abstract subject, so it's true that some people are somewhat allergic and fearful of the word, as it seems to them a threat that disrupts their lives, with numbers and formulas that are so difficult to absorb. However, it's important to realize that understanding mathematics is actually quite fascinating, as it can be done through very simple and inexpensive tools. One such tool is "OMTIM," or "Sago Vein Leaf" in Indonesian.Sago Vein Leaf is a naturally occurring plant whose fruit is often used as a staple food by the people of Papua and surrounding areas. Sago fruit can be processed into a traditional Papuan dish called "PAPEDA." Research has shown that using sago leaf veins can help students understand number operations, including addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (÷). The results indicate that using sago leaf veins makes it easier for students to understand and operate based on the rules, functions, and formulas of number operations.

Foregrounding In Expressing Melancholy And Nostalgia In Lana Del Rey’s Song Lyrics
This study discusses foregrounding in expressing melancholy and nostalgia in Lana Del Rey’s song lyrics. Although many studies have analyzed figurative language in song lyrics, few have focused on foregrounding as the main analytical framework. This study aims to identify the forms and functions of foregrounding in the songs The Greatest and Happiness Is a Butterfly. This research applies a descriptive qualitative method based on Geoffrey Leech’s (1969) theory of foregrounding. The findings show that foregrounding is realized through semantic deviation and parallelism. Semantic deviation appears through figurative expressions and is more dominant, functioning to construct melancholy, while parallelism appears through repetition and functions to construct nostalgia. In conclusion, this study shows that foregrounding plays an important role in expressing emotional meanings in song lyrics through non-literal and patterned language. This study contributes to stylistic analysis by explaining how linguistic features construct emotional meaning in contemporary song lyrics.

Needs Analysis Of English For Academic Purposes (Eap) For Public Sector Financial Management Students
This study aims to analyze the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) needs of students in the Public Sector Financial Management Program at the Lombok Business Academy. This study uses a mixed-methods approach with a descriptive design to obtain a comprehensive picture of students’ academic English needs. The research subjects consisted of 54 students selected using total sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, diagnostic tests, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results indicate that students have high needs regarding English language skills, particularly in writing (M = 4.60), reading (M = 4.42), and speaking (M = 4.35). However, students’ actual proficiency remains in the low to moderate categories, with writing (59.8) and speaking (61.2) scores being the lowest, while reading (67.5) and listening (64.3) fall into the moderate category. Additionally, the majority of students are in the low and moderate proficiency categories (86%), while only 14% are in the high proficiency category. Students also face various challenges, such as limited vocabulary (76%), difficulty constructing academic sentences (72%), and low self-confidence in speaking (67%). The gap analysis results indicate a significant gap in writing and speaking skills. Based on these findings, English language instruction in higher education needs to be developed using an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) approach based on student needs. Instruction should be designed contextually, emphasizing academic skills, vocabulary mastery, and the use of interactive, student-centered learning methods. Thus, the development of EAP instruction is expected to optimally improve students’ English proficiency and support their academic success.

Digital Administration Management In Improving Efficiency At Alhidayah Kalisari Islamic Boarding School
This study aims to describe the effectiveness of implementing digital administration through the Smart Hida (Cashless System) at the Alhidayah Kalisari Islamic Boarding School. feature expansion, a qualitative method with a participatory case study approach. Data collection was carried out from April 16 to 24, 2026, through observation and in-depth interviews with the central treasurer and administrative members. The results showed that the digitalization of financial transactions had a significant positive impact. The cashless system effectively minimizes student indiscipline, as the absence of physical cash eliminates their motivation to buy snacks outside the boarding school without permission. For parents, this system provides transparency and daily control over their children's expenses, eliminating the need to physically visit the school to pay fees. From the management side, the manual administrative burden previously done in physical books is replaced by an automatic database and a top-up system. Furthermore, the integration of 30 internal merchants with a mutually agreed maintenance fee system creates a sustainable business ecosystem. However, this implementation faces challenges regarding users' digital literacy, so feature expansion needs to be done gradually.

Variations In Expressive Speech Acts By Age In Buying And Selling Transactions At The Labuapi Traditional Market In West Lombok
This study aims to describe variations in expressive speech acts based on age in buying and selling transactions at Labuapi Market, West Lombok. The approach used is qualitative descriptive, with a focus on pragmatic analysis. The research data consists of utterances between sellers and buyers containing expressive speech acts, collected through observation, recording, transcription, and interviews. The research subjects were grouped into three age categories: youth, adults, and the elderly. The results indicate that various forms of expressive speech acts-such as praise, complaints, expressions of gratitude, apologies, and criticism-are used in buying and selling interactions. The variation in the use of expressive speech acts is influenced by age, as the youth group tends to use language that is more spontaneous, informal, and expressive. The adult age group demonstrated a more balanced use of language between expression and politeness, while the elderly age group placed greater emphasis on politeness and formality in speech. However, age is not the sole determinant, as situational context, communication goals, and social roles also influence the use of expressive speech acts. This study contributes to the field of pragmatics, particularly in understanding language variation within the context of social interaction in traditional markets.

Modernizing Islamic Boarding Schools as a Strategy for Global Transformation: Cultivating Globally-Minded Students in an Era of International Competition
Pesantren, as the oldest Islamic educational institution in Indonesia, faces the challenge of adapting to globalization and modernization in the 21st century. This research aims to analyze pesantren modernization strategies in preparing globally competitive students without abandoning Islamic identity. The method employed is library research with a qualitative descriptive approach, examining various academic sources related to pesantren educational transformation. The study results show that pesantren modernization includes the integration of traditional curricula with national and international curricula, the development of 21st-century competencies (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and digital literacy), strengthening foreign language skills, and the utilization of information technology in learning. Effective transformation strategies include adaptive leadership, the development of international networks, and global alumni empowerment. The research conclusion affirms that moderate integration between tradition and modernization represents an ideal model for producing a generation of Muslims who are moral, critical, digitally literate, and prepared to face global challenges
