Juwita Indah Permata, Rini Puji Astuti
Abstract: Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran penting dalam perekonomian sehingga memerlukan pengelolaan keuangan yang akuntabel melalui Sistem Informasi Akuntansi (SIA). Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis penerapan… nerapan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi berbasis syariah pada penjualan UMKM Pabrik Tahu di Desa Tegalgusi Kabupaten Jember serta mengidentifikasi potensi dan kendala penerapan prinsip akuntansi syariah dalam mendukung akuntabilitas usaha. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem pencatatan transaksi masih dilakukan secara manual melalui pencatatan pemasukan dan pengeluaran dalam buku harian. Penerapan tersebut telah mencerminkan nilai amanah, kejujuran, transparansi, dan prinsip maqashid syariah, khususnya hifz al-mal (perlindungan harta). Potensi penerapan prinsip syariah terlihat dari adanya pencatatan transaksi yang dapat ditelusuri sehingga mendukung akuntabilitas usaha. Namun, masih terdapat kendala berupa belum tersusunnya laporan keuangan formal, keterbatasan pemahaman akuntansi, serta belum adanya pemisahan keuangan usaha dan pribadi. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi dalam pengembangan Sistem Informasi Akuntansi berbasis syariah pada UMKM sektor pangan. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the national economy and require accountable financial management through an Accounting Information System (AIS). This study aims to analyze the implementation of a Sharia-based Accounting Information System in the sales activities of a tofu manufacturing MSME in Tegalgusi Village, Jember Regency, and to identify the potential and challenges of applying Sharia accounting principles in supporting business accountability. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the accounting information system is still implemented manually through the recording of cash inflows and outflows in a daily bookkeeping system. Despite its simplicity, the system reflects the values of trustworthiness, honesty, transparency, and the maqashid sharia principle, particularly hifz al-mal (protection of wealth). The potential of applying Sharia principles is evident in the existence of traceable transaction records that support business accountability. However, several challenges remain, including the absence of formal financial statements, limited accounting knowledge, and the lack of separation between business and personal finances. This study contributes to the development of Sharia-based Accounting Information Systems for MSMEs in the food industry sector.

Dewi Andrayani, Ariansa Dos Santos, Jupron
Abstract: Perkembangan TI menghasilkan pengaruh yang besar dalam bidang pendidikan, terutama pada pengelolaan data akademik serta sistem penilaian siswa. SMPI Hidayatul Athfal hingga saat ini masih menerapkan sistem penilaian manual… al dan semi-komputerisasi melalui pencatatan nilai pada buku serta pengolahan data memakai Microsoft Excel. Keadaan tersebut memunculkan sejumlah kendala, seperti lambatnya proses pengolahan nilai, kesalahan perhitungan, duplikasi data, serta kesulitan saat pencarian dan penyimpanan data akademik.

Hasil kajian memperlihatkan bahwasannya sistem informasi akademik berbasis web mampu melakukan peningkatan efisiensi pengolahan data, menekan human error, mempercepat penyusunan laporan nilai, serta memperkuat keamanan dan transparansi data akademik siswa di SMPI Hidayatul Athfal. The development of information technology has had a significant impact on the field of education, particularly in the management of academic data and student assessment systems. SMPI Hidayatul Athfal still uses a manual and semi-computerized grading system, where scores are recorded in books and processed using Microsoft Excel. This system creates several challenges, such as delays in grade processing, calculation errors, data duplication, and difficulties in searching and storing academic data. Therefore, a web-based academic information system is needed to support the management of student grades in a more effective, efficient, and integrated manner. The research method used in this study is the prototype method, which includes the stages of requirements gathering, prototype development, evaluation, refinement, and system implementation. The system was developed using Visual Studio Code as the text editor, XAMPP as the local web server, and localhost as the web-based testing environment. The programming languages used include PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and MySQL as the database management system. The results of the study show that the web-based academic information system improves data processing efficiency, reduces human error, accelerates the generation of grade reports, and enhances the security and transparency of students’ academic data at SMPI Hidayatul Athfal.

Pembelajaran Akidah-Akhlak Dengan Pendekatan Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta

Wafiq Azizah, M. Ridwan Nur, Rita Puspita, Abdullah Abdullah
Abstract: Degradasi moral peserta didik di era digital yang ditandai meningkatnya intoleransi, perundungan, krisis empati, serta melemahnya integritas sosial menunjukkan adanya persoalan mendasar dalam praktik pendidikan nilai. Dalam… lam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak, orientasi yang masih dominan pada aspek kognitif dan normatif belum sepenuhnya diimbangi dengan penguatan dimensi afektif dan internalisasi nilai secara sistematis dalam desain kurikulum. Kesenjangan antara penguasaan konsep keagamaan dan manifestasi moral dalam kehidupan nyata menjadi problem epistemologis dan pedagogis yang memerlukan rekonstruksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan kerangka konseptual Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta sebagai paradigma alternatif dalam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan dengan analisis hermeneutik terhadap konsep mahabbah dalam tradisi intelektual Islam, khususnya pemikiran Al-Ghazali, serta dikomparasikan dengan teori pendidikan humanistik modern. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta memiliki legitimasi teologis dan koherensi pedagogis dalam mengintegrasikan dimensi kognitif, afektif, dan spiritual secara utuh. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pemosisian cinta bukan sekadar sebagai nilai moral, melainkan sebagai prinsip epistemologis dan kurikuler yang menstrukturkan tujuan, proses, dan evaluasi pembelajaran secara sistematis dan transformatif. The moral decline of students in the di’Ital era, reflected in rising intolerance, bullying, diminished empathy, and weakened social integrity, indicates a fundamental problem in contemporary value education. In Akidah Akhlak instruction, learning practices remain predominantly cognitive and normative, while affective development and systematic value internalization are insufficiently integrated into curricular design. This gap between conceptual mastery of religious teachings and their moral enactment in lived experience represents an epistemological and pedagogical challenge requiring reconstruction. This study aims to formulate a conceptual framework for a Love-Based Curriculum as an alternative paradigm in Akidah Akhlak education. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, the study applies hermeneutic analysis to the concept of mahabbah within the Islamic intellectual tradition, particularly in the thought of Al-Ghazali, while comparatively engaging modern humanistic educational theory. The findings demonstrate that a Love-Based Curriculum possesses theological legitimacy and pedagogical coherence in integrating cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions of learning. The novelty of this study lies in positioning love not merely as a moral value but as an epistemological and curricular principle that structures the aims, processes, and evaluation of Akidah Akhlak instruction in a systematic and transformative manner.
