The growing reliance on digital learning in higher education has exposed a critical challenge: expanding technology use does not necessarily translate into meaningful learner engagement, inclusive participation, or sustainable learning practices. Accordingly, this study examines how digital pedagogy, inclusive digital access, and institutional support interact to shape technology-enabled learning in Islamic higher education. A qualitative instrumental case study involved nineteen institutional leaders, lecturers, and students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and institutional document analysis, and analysed using open, axial, and selective coding. The findings reveal three interconnected dimensions. First, interactive digital pedagogy enhanced learner engagement through collaborative learning, reflective questioning, and continuous feedback. Second, equitable digital access supported inclusive participation through stable internet connectivity, digital literacy, and accessible learning platforms, reducing barriers to discussion, collaboration, and assignment completion. Third, institutional support strengthened digital learning sustainability through standardised Learning Management System (LMS) procedures for course management, learning documentation, assessment, and academic continuity. Overall, meaningful digital transformation depends on the interaction of pedagogical practices, equitable digital access, and institutional governance, not technology adoption alone. The study provides empirical evidence and practical implications for strengthening digital pedagogy, improving accessibility, and developing institutional policies for sustainable digital learning

Bullying is detrimental to students’ mental health, academic achievement, and character development, so Islamic boarding schools need to study it further. This study aims to improve anti-bullying education programs in Islamic boarding schools using Islamic ideals. Qualitative case study data were collected through observation, interviews, and comprehensive recording at Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School.

This research's findings facilitate additional investigation into the factors affecting educational success and promote the development of more comprehensive policies for higher education institutions.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa pada materi larangan mengkonsumsi minuman keras melalui penerapan model Problem Based Learning (PBL). Latar belakang penelitian ini didasarkan pada rendahnya pemahaman siswa kelas XI SMK Madka Iqlima Purwakarta mengenai bahaya minuman keras dari aspek kesehatan, sosial, dan agama. Model PBL dipilih karena menekankan keterlibatan aktif siswa dalam pemecahan masalah nyata yang relevan dengan kehidupan mereka, sehingga diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan partisipasi siswa dalam pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) dengan dua siklus yang melibatkan tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 25 siswa kelas XI. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes hasil belajar, lembar observasi, dan angket, yang dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk melihat peningkatan hasil belajar sebelum dan sesudah penerapan PBL. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan nilai post-test dari 63,6 menjadi 78,4 pada siklus pertama, dan meningkat menjadi 83,6 pada siklus kedua, dengan ketuntasan belajar mencapai 80%. PBL juga meningkatkan partisipasi aktif, keterampilan berpikir kritis, dan kolaborasi siswa. This study aims to improve student learning outcomes on the prohibition of alcohol consumption through the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The background of this study is based on the low understanding of grade XI students of SMK Madka Iqlima Purwakarta regarding the dangers of liquor from health, social, and religious aspects. The PBL model was chosen because it emphasizes students' active involvement in solving real problems that are relevant to their lives, so it is expected to increase students' understanding and participation in learning. This research uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method with two cycles involving planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects consisted of 25 grade 11 students. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observation sheets, and questionnaires, which were analyzed descriptively to see the improvement of learning outcomes before and after the implementation of PBL. The results showed an increase in post-test scores from 63.6 to 78.4 in the first cycle, and increased to 83.6 in the second cycle, with learning completeness reaching 80%. PBL also promotes active participation, critical thinking skills, and student collaboration.

The study aims to identify how anti-bullying policies can build student resilience in dealing with bullying. This resilience functions as a fortress that protects students from the impact of the mistreatment they receive. This research method uses a qualitative approach. This qualitative approach was chosen to obtain broad and in-depth information about building student resilience through anti-bullying risk management—a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type is used to examine subjects such as behavior, motivation, and actions. The study results indicate that student resilience can be built through anti-bullying risk management by identifying bullying risks and receiving support from caregivers, counselors, and teacher support so that students can build resilience well. The implications of this study indicate that by placing bullying risks early on and providing support from caregivers, counselors, and teacher support, students can obtain better emotional protection and build mental strength to face difficult situations. Another aspect is that Islamic boarding schools need to establish a secure, encouraging, and supportive setting for students' growth.

The aim of this research is to analyze more deeply the implementation of the Quality Control concept in Human Resources (HR) management in higher education, as well as its influence on the sustainability of accreditation quality.
