Strengthening Work Culture to Enhance Student Competence in Vocational High Schools: A Comparative Case Study
No full textThis study examines the management of strengthening work culture to enhance student competence in vocational high schools amid technological and industrial advancements. Teachers must continually upgrade their skills for innovative learning, supported by work culture features such as attitudes, skills, knowledge, methods, media, modules, programs, resources, facilities, and budgets—preparing students for business/industry. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data from interviews, observations, and documentation of implementing schools reveal that effective strategies—planning, organization, implementation, and evaluation—boost competence. Mentoring, periodic reviews, and roles of teachers (role models), principals (strategic managers), staff (operational support), students (active participants), and industry partners (internship sites) amplify impacts. Strengthening work culture offers a strategic solution for industry-ready graduates. Recommendations include school and government policies to promote these programs
Parental Perceptions of Islamic Religious Education in Boarding Schools and Children\u27s Religious Character Development: A Case Study Approach
No full textThis study aims to analyze parents\u27 perceptions of Islamic religious education in Islamic boarding schools in developing their children\u27s religious character, using a case study of the Asy Syafi\u27iyah Islamic Boarding School in Garut. The research method used was a qualitative case study, with data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving parents of students, the boarding school leadership, and teaching staff. The results indicate that the majority of parents have a very positive perception of the Islamic religious education system in Islamic boarding schools, particularly in terms of fostering worship, strengthening morals, and integrating religious and general education. Parents consider the religious, disciplined, and exemplary environment of Islamic boarding schools to be very effective in shaping their children\u27s religious character. The findings also indicate that active parental involvement and intensive communication with the boarding school are important factors in maintaining the continuity of children\u27s character development, both within the boarding school and within the family. However, maintaining the consistency of Islamic boarding school values when children return home poses challenges. This study concludes that positive parental perceptions and support for Islamic religious education in Islamic boarding schools significantly contribute to the successful formation of children\u27s religious character. The results are expected to serve as a reference for developing synergy between Islamic boarding schools and families in children\u27s character education
Optimizing the Function of Mosque Tarbiyah: Fostering the Morals of the Young Generation in the Digital Era
No full textMosques, as centers of Islamic civilization, play a crucial role in shaping the character of the younger generation, especially in the challenging digital era. This study aims to examine the optimization of the mosque\u27s tarbiyah function in fostering the morals of the younger generation, with a case study at the Al-Ikhlas Mosque in Cibiru, Bandung City. The research method used was qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the Al-Ikhlas Mosque has fulfilled its tarbiyah function through the Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah (MDT) program, which serves children from early childhood to adolescence. In addition to the Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah, the Al-Ikhlas Mosque also implements a moral development program integrated into worship activities, religious studies, and social activities. These programs are designed to instill Islamic values, improve religious understanding, and shape behavior in accordance with Islamic teachings. Optimisation of the mosque\u27s tarbiyah function is carried out through improving the competence of teachers and administrators, using innovative and participatory learning methods, as well as utilising information technology in the learning process and disseminating positive and inspiring content
A Conceptual Paradigm of Al-Nafs in the Tafsirs of Al-Ṭabarī and Al-Rāzī: Tracing Epistemological Shifts in the Classical Exegetical Tradition
No full textThis article examines the concept of al-nafs in classical exegesis through a comparative approach to two great exegetes, namely al-Ṭabarī and Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī. By focusing on three key verses, namely QS Yūsuf [12]:53, al-Qiyāmah [75]:2, and al-Fajr [89]:27–30, this study changes the epistemological shift in the construction of the meaning of the human soul from the traditional bayānī approach to a philosophical and psychological approach. Through the methods of text analysis and philosophical hermeneutics, it is found that al-Ṭabarī\u27s exegesis emphasizes the authority of riwāyah and normative meaning, while al-Rāzī integrates rational, spiritual, and Sufi elements in his interpretation. These findings not only demonstrate the rich intellectual heritage of classical exegesis but also open up opportunities for actualizing the concept of al-nafs in the context of Islamic psychology, character education, and modern spirituality. Within a contemporary hermeneutical framework, this article proposes a rereading of exegesis as a space for historical and existential dialogue relevant to the challenges faced by today\u27s Muslim community
Reconstructing Indonesian Family Law through Local Wisdom-Mediated Dispute Resolution: Advancing Restorative Justice in Household Conflicts
No full textDomestic conflict resolution in Indonesia relies heavily on formal litigation, often leading to divorce and fractured social bonds—contradicting Pancasila\u27s emphasis on deliberation, family harmony, and societal peace. This study analyzes local wisdom\u27s role in developing restorative justice-oriented mediation models and reconstructing family law to better align with Indonesia\u27s socio-cultural context. Employing a juridical-sociological approach, it qualitatively examines Supreme Court Regulation No. 1/2016 on court mediation and regional customary practices. Findings reveal local wisdom-based mediation\u27s potential to foster reconciliation, restore relationships, and achieve moral equilibrium. Thus, family law reconstruction is essential: legally recognize customary mediation, integrate traditional leaders into pretrial processes, and enact culturally adaptive regulations—advancing progressive law rooted in national values
Work Environment, Motivation, and Tutor Performance: Job Satisfaction as Mediator in Language Course Institutions
Full text linkThis quantitative investigation examines the impact of workplace conditions and motivation on tutor performance, incorporating job satisfaction as a mediating factor. Data was gathered via questionnaires distributed to tutors across 10 Training and Course Institutions (LKP) in Kampung Inggris, Pare, Kediri, Indonesia. From a total population of 185 tutors, 165 completed surveys were returned and analyzed. Researchers employed a non-probability sampling strategy, specifically judgmental purposive sampling. Analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate statistically significant positive effects: both the work environment and work motivation directly enhance tutor performance and also have a positive influence on job satisfaction. Furthermore, job satisfaction itself exerts a significant positive effect on performance. Crucially, mediation analysis confirms that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between the work environment and work motivation, and both of these factors influence tutor performance. These findings offer valuable insights for institutional enhancement strategies
Internalizing Pluralism in Islamic Education: Boosting Religious Character at SMPN 46 and SMPN 2 Cileunyi, Bandung
Full text linkModern society lives in an environment characterized by increasingly complex cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity due to the influence of globalization. This condition demands that the education system, especially Islamic Religious Education (PAI), adapt so that it does not only emphasize ritual and dogmatic aspects, but also fosters mutual respect, empathy, and tolerance between religious communities. Without a pluralism-based approach, PAI learning has the potential to become rigid and less relevant to the social reality of students. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate pluralistic values, such as respect for differences, compassion, and cooperation, into the learning process from an early age. This principle aligns with QS. Al-Hujurat verse 13 which emphasizes the importance of recognizing and respecting diversity. Teachers play a role as facilitators in creating an inclusive, reflective, and dialogical learning environment, so that the values of pluralism can be internalized naturally in students. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilising case studies at SMPN 46 Bandung and SMPN 2 Cileunyi. The research results show that the internalization of pluralistic values in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning occurs systematically, contextually, and effectively through experience-based learning activities, teacher role models, and a supportive school culture. This process successfully shapes students\u27 religious character to be tolerant, inclusive, and virtuous. Therefore, pluralistic character education in PAI is a crucial strategy in preparing a religious generation capable of living harmoniously in a diverse and dynamic society
The Relevance of Buddhayana Principles to Religious Moderation in Indonesia
Full text linkIn order to preserve national integrity, religious moderation is essential. Buddhist teachings, like those of all other religions in Indonesia, support religious moderation. Buddhayana is one of the scholastic schools of Buddhism in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of Buddhayana ideas to Indonesian religious moderation. This study\u27s methodology is a review of the literature. The study\u27s findings suggest that certain Buddhist teachings align with the markers of religious moderation. The Kutadanta Sutta contains Buddhist teachings about national commitment. The Buddha exemplifies tolerance in the Upali Sutta by counselling devotees like Upali to carefully consider new views before changing, always showing respect for their prior affiliations. According to the Buddha, every human being develops non-violence based on their brahmavihara, which includes metta, karuna, mudita, and upekkha. The Buddha teaches accommodation of local culture in the Sigalovada Sutta, which says that proper understanding is the foundation for both openness and the preservation of local culture. The tenets of Buddhayana, which include a non-sectarian, inclusive, pluralistic, universal mindset and faith in Sanghayang Adi Buddha, are consistent with the practice of religious moderation
The Best Interest of the Child in Islamic Family Law: Declarative and Enforceable Custody Protection in Indonesia and Malaysia
Full text linkThe principle of the best interest of the child constitutes a central normative foundation for post-divorce child custody protection within Islamic family law. Although this principle is widely recognised in statutory regulations and judicial practice, its application and juridical consequences vary considerably across legal systems. This study examines the regulation and application of the best interest of the child principle in Islamic family law in Indonesia and Malaysia, with particular attention to the legal implications arising from differences in their normative and procedural designs. Employing a normative legal research method with comparative and doctrinal approaches, the study analyses legislation, the Compilation of Islamic Law, judicial decisions, and relevant scholarly literature on Islamic family law and child protection in both jurisdictions. The analytical framework draws upon the concepts of ḥaḍānah and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah to assess the relationship between custody determination and the execution of court decisions. The findings demonstrate that both Indonesia and Malaysia formally recognise the best interest of the child as the guiding principle in determining child custody under Islamic family law. However, divergent normative and procedural configurations produce distinct juridical outcomes. In Indonesia, child custody protection predominantly operates as custody protection as declarative justice, where judicial decisions establish legal entitlements without being supported by effective enforcement mechanisms. In contrast, Malaysia’s Islamic family law system reflects a model of custody protection as enforceable justice, integrating custody determinations with enforcement measures and legal sanctions for non-compliance. These findings underscore that child protection in Islamic family law is shaped not merely by normative recognition, but by the extent to which legal systems connect custody determinations with enforceable institutional mechanisms
Orientalist and Nonbeliever Criticism of the Qirā\u27āt of the Qur\u27an: Analysis and Response in the Book Al-Qirā\u27āt fī Naẓari al-Mustashriqīn wa al-Mulḥidīn
No full textThis article offers a novel analytical examination of ʿAbd al-Fattāḥ al-Qāḍī’s methodological response to orientalist and nonbeliever critiques of Qur’anic qirāʾāt, an area that previous studies have addressed only descriptively without engaging the epistemological structure underlying classical Muslim scholarship. Addressing this research gap, the study analyses al-Qāḍī’s triadic criteria of qirāʾāt authenticity conformity to the ʿUthmānic rasm, linguistic coherence, and continuous transmission and demonstrates how these principles systematically counter key claims advanced by Goldziher, Jeffery, Nöldeke, Ibn Warraq, and Luxenberg. The findings reveal that orientalist critiques rest on manuscript-centric assumptions derived from Biblical textual criticism, whereas nonbeliever critiques rely on a priori skepticism toward oral transmission. By showing that canonical qirāʾāt constitute a disciplined form of linguistic plurality rooted in prophetic instruction rather than textual instability, this study offers a clear methodological model for assessing modern critiques of Qur’anic textuality. The article contributes to contemporary Qur’anic studies by bridging sanad-based epistemology with current debates in manuscript research and by clarifying the conceptual categories often conflated in Western scholarship
