Through interviews, observations, and documentation, it was found that the use of animated videos can be done through several steps: selection of suitable videos, preparation of related materials, video playback, discussion and explanation, speaking practice, feedback and evaluation, and repetition and reinforcement. The use of animated videos proved effective in increasing students' interest, motivation, and speaking skills. Animated videos provide a concrete and engaging context, facilitating better understanding and recall of the material. The study also shows that animated videos create an imaginative and interactive learning environment, encourage active participation, and help build competence through the presentation of engaging audio-visual material. The results show that this method is more effective than conventional methods in improving speaking skills. Periodic evaluation and development of high-quality content are essential to ensure learning satisfaction and effectiveness. This research concludes that animated video is a very relevant and useful learning media, especially in Arabic language education.</p> Muhammad Akbar Aulia Mustika Ilmiani Copyright (c) 2025 Al-Afkar: Jurnal Pemikiran Mahasiswa Pendidikan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-12-26 2025-12-26 1 2 74 82 https://jurnal.stiq.assyifa.ac.id/alafkar/article/view/841 <p>This study focuses on examining Madzkur’s perspective on Islamic educational curriculum as articulated in Manhaj at-Tarbiyah fī at-Taṣawwur al-Islāmī. Employing a qualitative library research approach, primary data were derived from Madzkur’s work, supported by secondary sources from relevant books and academic journals. Data were analyzed through reduction, categorization, interpretation, and theoretical synthesis. The findings indicate that Madzkur conceptualizes the curriculum based on taṣawwur Islāmī, comprising four interrelated components: educational objectives, integrative content, exemplary and dialogical methods, and evaluation emphasizing spiritual and moral dimensions. This curriculum framework aims to develop al-insān al-kāmil by harmonizing faith, intellect, and morality. The study recommends that Islamic educational institutions adopt Madzkur’s integrative curriculum principles to foster holistic, transformative, and value-oriented education.</p> Muhammad Arwani Izzuddin Musthafa Isop Syafei Copyright (c) 2025 Al-Afkar: Jurnal Pemikiran Mahasiswa Pendidikan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-12-27 2025-12-27 1 2 83 93
