The journal's objective is to foster and encourage pertinent discussions occurring in various regions of the world. These discussions should encompass the conceptualisation, interpretation, and synthesis of scholarly work and literature in the broadly pertinent fields of education, mysticism<em> (tasawwuf)</em>, sociology, history, and philosophy about Islamic studies. SCIS does not publish original empirical research; all analyses must be incorporated into a broader integrative review. SCIS occasionally publishes commissioned, meticulously peer-reviewed analytical evaluations on specialised topics, particularly those from less-researched disciplines.</p>https://letiges.or.id/index.php/scis/article/view/55Uncovering the Low Motivation of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students:2025-02-19T11:05:12+07:00Amatullah Taqiya Zahraamazahee90@gmail.com<p><em>This research aims to identify the nature of students and their motivation in the learning process at MI Nashrus Sunnah, Madiun City. This research uses the qualitative method, field research, which involves direct observation of students as well as interviews with teachers and students to collect data related to learning motivation. The observation results show that students' learning motivation is still relatively low, which is caused by several factors, including unsupervised use of cellphones, incomplete family background, lack of reading and writing skills, as well as the influence of the environment and learning atmosphere that is not conducive, such as the presence of noisy study partners. In addition, students also experience difficulties in understanding the subject matter, which impacts their interest and enthusiasm for learning. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of understanding the factors that influence students' learning motivation in order to design effective interventions to improve their learning outcomes. Therefore, collaborative efforts between teachers, parents and the school environment are needed to create a more supportive learning atmosphere so that students can be motivated to learn and optimize their potential to achieve educational goals.</em></p>2025-04-28T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Amatullah Taqiya Zahrahttps://letiges.or.id/index.php/scis/article/view/26Optimizing Islamic Education Supervision to Improve the Quality of Learning and Character Development of Students2025-02-19T11:02:40+07:00Nurisma Salsabila Zahrasalsabilarisma601@gmail.comMohamad Hardyman Barawihardymanbarawi@gmail.com<p><em>This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic education supervision in improving the quality of education in Islamic-based institutions. The method used in this study is qualitative research, which explores data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The location of the study was carried out at the Modern Pondok Ar-Rifa'ie, which aims to explore the dynamics of Islamic education. The results of the study indicate that Islamic education supervision can significantly improve student learning outcomes, teacher effectiveness, and better communication between educators, students, and families. In addition, good supervision also contributes to the development of students' morals and spirituality, which are important aspects of Islamic education. This study found that the application of principles such as justice, wisdom, and exemplary behaviour in supervision can create a harmonious and productive educational atmosphere. However, Islamic education supervision also faces a number of challenges, such as lack of supervisor competence, inadequate facilities, resistance from educators, and frequent policy changes. Therefore, to overcome these challenges, continuous training for supervisors, the development of relevant curricula, and the integration of Islamic values into modern educational practices are needed. The conclusion of this study confirms that increasing the effectiveness of Islamic education supervision is an urgent need to support the progress of Islamic education in this modern era.</em></p>2025-04-29T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 Nurisma Salsabila Zahra, Mohamad Hardyman Barawi
