Themes 1: Student-centered learning “As far as I know, twenty-first century learning is a student-centered learning process through communication, critic... critical and creative thinking as well as application of pure and ethical values.” (I1DU20-24/SC-CRIT-CRE-COM).
“I am using talking chips methods as a technique in my classroom. The students can communicate when they have their chips, if they don't have their chips so they can't talk. These methods can improve their communication and had a good values. It means that they have to be patients if they want to talk (I1DU26-29/SC-COM)
For example I asked my students to think the cause and effect about the bad attitude. One topic about respecting our parents in Islamic education, I had asked my students about the consequences if they don't respect their parents. Then my students will discuss among them the answer (I4DU 33-37)
“For me, teaching and learning twenty-first century learning must focus on students. Students must actively participate in the classroom.” (I3DU29/SC-PAR).

based learning teaching (I1DU40-42/CT-PBL)
CT: Project CT-PRBL “Usually, I will use 'Rally Robin', 'Time-Pair-Share', 'Think-Pair-Share', and acting
based learning techniques in Islamic education classes. I chose these methods because uh... they uh... seem
to fit the subject I want. Most activities in twenty-first century learning are student-centered learning. So, students are trained to be self-reliant in finding information, solving problems, finding ideas with the resources provided. In this way, uh... it can help students improve their creative and critical thinking skills.” (I2DU 45-48)
“I prefer to use the advice and simulation techniques approach as well as storytelling techniques.” (I3DU34). “I always use project-based learning to teach morals.

Later they share the videos and upload them to Google Classroom.” (I3DU 40-43/CT-PRBL)
“These kids love to do projects, so I asked them to do a project for example in prayer practical topic. And then they do that prayer practical project individually and upload it to Google Classroom” (I2DU49-50)
“Since the students have exercise books, so I do it alternately. For example, this week we use the textbook for learning, and then next week we look at YouTube. So there's a time we online and there's a time we offline.” (I4DU42-44)
“I do teach online and offline. For example, on Monday and Thursday, we are online, while Friday we are offline, ha like that. If offline I asked my student to look up the work I uploaded on Google Classroom and do them.” (I3DU45-47)
“I still use the Rally Robin, Time-Pair-Share, and Think-Pair-Share methods but I applied them through online.” (I2DU53-54)

“I am always open to any teaching methods that are appropriate to Islamic Education.” Actually I had create a new methods such as using short stories and students need to ask a question from the short stories.
