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>

A web-based recitation program has been developed to improve students’ conceptual understanding of some fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics. The program consists of multiple-choices conceptual questions followed by immediate feedback for each option. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the program and whether the program can be used by students without any assistance of instructor. If it is the case, the program could be used by instructor to serve recitation program outside the classroom. To address the objectives, this study employed a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design involving three groups of students. The first group (E-1) used the program accompanied by teaching assistant, the second group (E-2) used the program by his/herself without assistance, and the third group (C) learned by his/herself without the program. The study involved 73 students enrolling the introductory physics course in physics education department, State University of Malang, as the subject. The effectiveness of the program was analyzed by comparing N-gain scores of the three groups and the responses of the E-1 and E-2 students to the program. Pretest was administered after the three groups of students have learned fluid mechanics through regular lecture sessions, and the posttest was administered after the E-1 and E-2 groups have finished learning with the help of the program. The results showed that the N-gain of group E-1, E-2, and C was 0.51 (upper medium), 0.58 (upper medium), and 0.12 (low), respectively. The ANOVA test showed that the three N-gain values were statistically different (p = 0,000). The LSD post hoc test showed that the N-gain of group C was significantly different from that of group E-1 and E-2 (p=0.000), whereas the N-gain between group E-1 and E-2 was not significantly different (p=0.244). It can be concluded that the web-based recitation program was effective to improve the students’ conceptual understanding of fluid mechanics and can be used equally well with or without direct assistance from instructor or teaching assistant. The students that used the program also gave quite positive responses to the program, that the program could help them to reflect on the appropriateness of their understanding, was easy to use, and had attractive features.

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.

Tujuan dari penelitian pengembangan ini adalah untuk menghasilkan produk multimedia interaktif pada mata pelajaran Fisika topik prinsip Archimedes untuk siswa kelas XI. Penggunaan multimedia sangat membantu siswa dalam memaksimalkan belajar mandiri (student centered learning) serta membantu siswa untuk memahami konsep dengan lebih baik. Metode penelitian pengembangan yang digunakan adalah Research and Development (R&D) dengan model ADDIE. Kelayakan multimedia interaktif topik prinsip Archimedes berbasis power point diperoleh dari hasil uji empiris pada 3 mahasiswa dengan hasil rata-rata 5.08 kategori sangat baik. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian kelayakan media yang telah dilaksanakan maka diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa multimedia interaktif topik prinsip Archimedes layak digunakan sebagai alternatif pembelajaran di luar waktu sekolah oleh siswa. Selain itu, dapat menjadi bahan belajar mandiri (student centered learning) yang mampu meningkatkan pemahaman konsep siswaKata kunci: Multimedia interaktif, prinsip archimedes, student centered learning Developing interactive multimedia in Archimedes principles to optimize student centered learning AbstractThe purpose of this development research is to produce interactive multimedia products on Physics subjects on the topic of Archimedes principles for grade XI students. The use of multimedia is very helpful for students in improving independent learning (student-centered learning) and helps students to understand concepts better. The research development method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model. The feasibility of interactive multimedia on the topic of Archimedes principles based on power point was obtained from the results of empirical tests on 3 students with an average result of 5.08 very good categories. Based on the results of a feasibility study on media that has been done it could be concluded about interactive multimedia, the principle of Archimedes used as an alternative worthy of learning outside of school time by students. Also, it can be self-learning materials that can improve student understandingKeywords: Interactive multimedia, Archimedes principles, student centered learning
