student fatigue

Pesantren-based madrasahs may organize religious and general learning through two configurations, separated and integrated, yet students' experiences under the two configurations are rarely compared sequentially within one institution. Prior studies mostly address the epistemological and curricular dimensions of knowledge integration, while students' experiences under both configurations have not been compared directly. This study compares academic achievement, religious understanding, and student well-being between the cohort of students who studied under the separated system and the cohort who later studied under the integrated system at MA Khozinatul Ulum Blora, as reported by teachers and students. It uses an embedded case study with two units of analysis. Thirteen informants took part: five students from each cohort, one madrasah diniyah teacher, one general subject teacher, and one deputy head for curriculum. Data came from semi-structured interviews for both cohorts, along with observation and document analysis for the currently running integrated system, analyzed thematically with triangulation. Three differences emerged. Separated-system students described more structured learning, whereas integrated-system students described difficulty keeping focus as the scope of material widened. Broader religious understanding across subjects was described by integrated-system students, while separated-system students tied it to religion class hours. Fatigue was reported more often in the integrated group. The study contributes a comparison of two periods of learning systems within one institution.

This study aims to (1) describe the implementation of full day school at SMP IT Nurul Fikri Selong, (2) analyze its role in improving student learning achievement, and (3) identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of its implementation. A qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and students, supported by field observation and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman (1992), covering data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that full day school at SMP IT Nurul Fikri Selong is not merely an extension of school hours but is structured to support academic learning, religious habituation, character formation through teacher exemplary behavior, talent development, and dedicated coaching for high-achieving students. This role is reflected in improved literacy and numeracy outcomes and student achievements in provincial-level science competitions. The main supporting factor is institutional commitment and teacher exemplarity, while the main constraints relate to student fatigue in the afternoon A decline in concentration following participation in various activities, alongside the need for adjustment among new students who were previously unaccustomed to a full-day learning system and the adaptation process for new students. The novelty of this study lies in the finding that the effectiveness of full day school is determined more by the quality of time management and variation in teaching methods than by the duration of instruction alone, thereby reinforcing and extending Time on Task Theory and Carroll's (1963) Model of School Learning within the context of integrated Islamic schools in Indonesia.

هدف این پژوهش عبارت است از: (۱) توصیف اجرای مدرسه‌ی تمام‌وقت در SMP IT Nurul Fikri Selong، (۲) تحلیل نقش آن در بهبود پیشرفت تحصیلی دانش‌آموزان، و (۳) شناسایی عوامل حمایت‌کننده و بازدارنده‌ی اجرای آن. این مطالعه با رویکرد کیفی و به روش مطالعه‌ی موردی انجام شده است. داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه‌های عمیق با مدیر، معلمان و دانش‌آموزان، و با پشتیبانی مشاهده‌ی میدانی و اسناد جمع‌آوری شده و با استفاده از مدل تعاملی Miles و Huberman (۱۹۹۲) شامل کاهش داده، نمایش داده و نتیجه‌گیری تحلیل گردیده‌اند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که مدرسه‌ی تمام‌وقت در SMP IT Nurul Fikri Selong صرفاً افزایش ساعات مدرسه نیست، بلکه به گونه‌ای ساختار یافته است که از یادگیری علمی، عادت‌دهی دینی، شکل‌گیری شخصیت از طریق الگو بودن معلمان، پرورش استعدادها و مربی‌گری ویژه برای دانش‌آموزان ممتاز حمایت می‌کند. این نقش در بهبود نتایج سواد خواندن و ریاضیات و موفقیت دانش‌آموزان در مسابقات علمی استانی منعکس شده است. عامل اصلی حمایت‌کننده، تعهد نهادی و الگو بودن معلمان است و مهم‌ترین محدودیت‌ها به خستگی دانش‌آموزان در ساعات بعدازظهر، کاهش تمرکز پس از شرکت در فعالیت‌های مختلف، و نیاز به سازگاری دانش‌آموزان جدید که پیش‌تر به سیستم یادگیری تمام‌وقت عادت نداشته‌اند و فرایند تطبیق آن‌ها مربوط می‌شود. نوآوری این پژوهش در این است که اثربخشی مدرسه‌ی تمام‌وقت بیش از آنکه به مدت زمان آموزش وابسته باشد، به کیفیت مدیریت زمان و تنوع روش‌های تدریس بستگی دارد و بدین ترتیب نظریه‌ی Time on Task و مدل School Learning کارول (۱۹۶۳) را در زمینه‌ی مدارس اسلامی یکپارچه در اندونزی تقویت و گسترش می‌دهد.
