This is none other than to prevent disputes between family members related to the inheritance of family members who have died. In essence, the position of the child is not only a blessing but also a mandate from Allah SWT. In the view of Islam, child protection has a fundamental meaning, namely as the basis of values ​​and paradigms for changing the fate of children. In civil law, marriage is the basis for the realization of family ties and this gives birth to rights and obligations among those who are included in the family environment. Children born from legal marriages and automatically have a civil relationship with their father, this is stated in Article 250 of the Civil Code (hereinafter referred to as the Civil Code) which states that every child born or raised during marriage, obtains the husband as his father. The position of children in inheritance rights is also explained in the Civil Code in Article 852 which states that "children or all their descendants may be born from other marriages, even if they inherit from both parents, grandfather, grandmother or all their blood relatives, then in straight line up with no difference between male and female and no difference based on first birth.</p> Nurfitryani Siregar Nur Hakima Akhirani Nasution Copyright (c) 2023 Nurfitryani Siregar, Nur Hakima Akhirani Nasution https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-07-25 2023-07-25 2 2 139 144 10.55299/ijere.v2i2.461 Development of Lift the Flap Book Learning Media on the Theme of Care About Living Things in Class IV SD https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/454 <p>This study aims to develop learning media lift the flap book on the theme of caring for living things and to determine the feasibility of the media.

With this learning process students gain knowledge and skills, all of which students can acquire through the learning process, especially religious learning which has an important role in developing students' attitudes and spirituality. Basically a teacher should be able to implement a learning in which active interaction can be created between the teacher and students, fellow students and students with their environment. With learning like this it is hoped that students' understanding of religion can be better. On the other hand, a sense of belonging, loving the environment can also be embedded. Outdoor learning or learning outside the classroom indirectly reminds students that learning is not always done in the classroom. With learning like this it gives students room to add more memorization and provide the best quality for good Al Qur'an memorization. Because learning outside the classroom can create interactions between teachers and students, students and students as well as students and their environment. By trying to keep students happy to learn and memorize, of course, it will have an impact on students' understanding of murojaah memorizing the Koran, so that what is called competence in the quality of memorizing the Koran will be achieved. A teacher should be able to implement a learning in which an active and pleasant interaction is created between the teacher and students.</p> Syovinatus Sholicha Imam Syaifudin Azuan Syahiri Arifatul Ma’ani Eka Ismaya Indra Purnamanita Bopel Wasianto Eva Andriani Copyright (c) 2023 Syovinatus Sholicha, Imam Syaifudin, Azuan Syahiri, Arifatul Ma’ani, Eka Ismaya Indra Purnamanita, Bopel Wasianto, Eva Andriani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-08-09 2023-08-09 2 2 275 282 10.55299/ijere.v2i2.511 The Value of Religious Moderation in the Learning of Islamic Religious Education and Characteristics of Class XI Students at SMK Negeri 1 Lumajang Indonesia https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/510 <p>The number of cases of intolerance that have occurred in Indonesia, especially in educational institutions, shows that there is a lack of tolerance in them. This should be immediately addressed by educational institutions to create conducive school conditions. In the world of education, students are a group that is very prone to being swept up by the currents of religious radicalism. The age is still very young and still unstable with a fiery enthusiasm, as well as the longing to practice religion more thoroughly, making young people the target of radical groups who preach religious understanding and attitudes that are rigid and tend to be shallow. On the other hand, at the same time, religious liberalism has also begun to infiltrate some young people, namely high school students. Because of that, the world of education has a role to fortify students so that they can always be in the middle, not taking sides to the left and right, guiding students to be fair, the middle position makes a person visible to anyone from different angles.</p> Arifatul Ma’ani Imam Syaifudin Nur Avita Khoirunnisa Bopel Wasianto Syovinatus Sholicha Eka Ismaya Indra Purnamanita Eva Andriani Copyright (c) 2023 Arifatul Ma’ani, Imam Syaifudin, Nur Avita Khoirunnisa, Bopel Wasianto, Syovinatus Sholicha, Eka Ismaya Indra Purnamanita, Eva Andriani https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-08-09 2023-08-09 2 2 283 288 10.55299/ijere.v2i2.510 Development Student’s Writing Skill Through Blended Learning Model https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/459 <p>This research aims (1) To develop student’s writing skill through blended learning (2) To find out whether blended learning can develop student’s writing skills through blended learning.

In addition, research also occupies the most important position with regard to science, which means that this step is aimed at developing and continuing research in the future so that it does not become extinct. In qualitative research, there are many methods used to collect data as research sources, both from text and non-text. The results of qualitative research are generally in the form of a research design based on the findings of previous researchers and are not in the form of statistical figures. Qualitative research is explanatory in nature and leads to an analytical approach that emphasizes facts on the problems studied and is also known as a method that proceeds from a specific discussion to a general focus. This process is then highlighted in qualitative research to thoroughly explain the series and results of the research so that it is easy for researchers and academics to understand.</p> Muhammad Adriansyah Siregar Muhammad Amin Niswatul Azizah Nasution Rahma Winanda Syfa Nailul Husnah Nur Hasanah Andriyadi Marta Putri Syahri Copyright (c) 2023 Muhammad Adriansyah Siregar, Muhammad Amin, Niswatul Azizah Nasution, Rahma Winanda, Syfa Nailul Husnah, Nur Hasanah, Andriyadi Marta, Putri Syahri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-09-30 2023-09-30 2 2 390 394 10.55299/ijere.v2i2.554 A Review of Translanguaging as a New Way of Redefining Bi/Multilingualism in South African Classrooms https://ejournal.ipinternasional.com/index.php/ijere/article/view/494 <p>South Africa is a multilingual and multicultural country, and the Language in Education Policy (1997) permits any of the 12 official languages to be used as the language of teaching and learning. The purpose of this paper is to examine secondary data about the use of translanguaging in South African multilingual classrooms for a better understanding of course content. Translanguaging is simply a pedagogical term used to describe the natural ways bilingual/multilingual individuals use their languages in their everyday lives. This paper is discussed qualitatively using a systematic literature review examining several studies that are relevant to the topic. Both international and national articles and books relating to the topic were identified and analysed. The result from this review shows that translanguaging goes beyond theory to critical pedagogical practice. Also, it shows that the language in education policy (additive bilingualism) has not been able to cater for multilingualism in South African classrooms. Therefore, there is a need to employ translanguaging strategy in the classroom to center the marginalised languages in South African classroom space. The implication of this review is that it offers a blueprint for teachers, education actors, and policymakers to re-imagine South Africa’s bi/multilingualism classrooms through the lens of translanguaging.</p> Quinta Kemende Wunseh Copyright (c) 2023 Quinta Kemende Wunseh https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-09-30 2023-09-30 2 2 395 400 10.55299/ijere.v2i2.494
