Transforming Caste Traditions: Intracultural Communication and Structural Changes Among the Kei People in Southeast Maluku
Full text linkThis study investigated the persistence and transformation of caste-based social stratification in Kei society, Southeast Maluku, amid processes of modernization and local democratization. While everyday social interactions increasingly reflected more fluid relations, traditional caste distinctions between Mel-mel, Ren-ren, and Iri-ri remained embedded in customary institutions, religious practices, and local political structures. This research aimed to examine how caste relationships were reproduced, negotiated, and contested through intracultural communication. Adopting a qualitative ethnographic design, data were collected through prolonged field observation, in-depth interviews with community members in caste groups, and analysis of customary practices, ritual roles, and local political participation. The findings showed that caste domination persisted through the sacralization of tradition, symbolic hierarchies, and patterns of economic dependence that normalized unequal social positions. At the same time, expanded access to education and participation in postreform local democratic processes enabled members of the Iri-ri group to renegotiate social identities and challenged inherited stigmas, particularly in political and bureaucratic arenas. This study demonstrated that caste in Kei society operated as a dynamic communicative process that simultaneously sustained social order and opened spaces for gradual transformation. The findings contribute to broader discussions on power, culture, and social inequality in post-traditional and indigenous societies
Amanah-Based Public Relations and Digital Trust in Islamic Private Universities
Full text linkPublic trust has emerged as a critical challenge for Private Islamic Universities (PTIS) in the digital era, particularly regarding the translation of Islamic ethical values from symbolic claims into concrete institutional practices. This study examines how the value of Amanah (trust) is internalized within Public Relations (PR) practices at PTIS in Jambi, positioning trust as both a religious-ethical principle and a professional standard that guides governance, communication, and digital engagement. Using a qualitative multi-site case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with institutional leaders, PR personnel, academic staff, administrative officers, and students, complemented by observation of institutional digital platforms. Data were analysed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that Amanah functions as an internal governing logic, shaping leadership integrity, policy transparency, participatory communication, and digital accountability. Trust is further strengthened through inclusive leadership, open communication channels, transparent academic and administrative policies, and responsible digital governance. However, the study also identifies persistent challenges, including inconsistent leadership modelling, weak oversight mechanisms, limited digital literacy, and concerns regarding academic data security. These results indicate that ethical values alone are insufficient to sustain digital trust without structural reinforcement and accountable digital systems. Ultimately, this study contributes to the field by conceptualizing Amanah as an operational PR principle that integrates Islamic ethics with contemporary digital trust governance in higher education
Integrating Computational Thinking and Spirituality in Developing Students’ Critical Thinking: A Comparative Study of Indonesia and Malaysia
Full text linkGlobal educational challenges demand the development of critical thinking through approaches that integrate cognitive and ethical dimensions. This study examines how computational thinking and spirituality contribute to the development of students’ critical thinking skills in Indonesia and Malaysia. Using a quantitative design, data were collected from university students in both countries and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The analysis reveals that computational thinking plays a more influential role in shaping students’ critical thinking in Malaysia, reflecting the strong emphasis on analytical and digital reasoning in instructional practices. In contrast, spirituality makes a stronger contribution in the Indonesian context, underscoring the importance of moral and spiritual values in supporting reflective and ethical reasoning. These differences highlight the role of cultural and pedagogical contexts in shaping cognitive development. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that integrating computational thinking and spirituality provides a holistic framework for strengthening students’ critical thinking, offering relevant implications for curriculum design and educational policy in higher education
Repositioning Oligarchy and Democratic Governance: Institutional Reform in Indonesia
Full text linkGood governance remains a central ideal in democratic systems; however, its substantive realization in Indonesia continues to be constrained by the persistent dominance of oligarchic power, which existing studies largely frame as a pathological threat to democracy rather than an institutionally governed phenomenon. Addressing this gap, this study examines how oligarchic power can be repositioned within a framework of democratic governance through a neo-institutionalist perspective that treats oligarchy as an institutionally conditioned form of power. Using qualitative policy analysis, this research analyzes political financing, public policy formulation, and institutional reform through document analysis, regulatory review, and comparative policy evaluation. The findings show that oligarchic dominance is reproduced through weak institutional constraints, fragmented accountability mechanisms, and limited public oversight, yet can be systematically constrained through strengthened regulatory frameworks, credible law enforcement, and expanded participatory governance. By proposing the concept of repositioning oligarchy as an institutional strategy, this study contributes to governance studies, both theoretically and practically, by offering policy-relevant insights for improving democratic governance in Indonesia and other emerging democracies facing similar political–economic challenges
Social Entrepreneurship Education and Students’ Social Entrepreneurial Intentions: The Mediating Role of Self-Efficacy in Mongolia
Full text linkSocial entrepreneurship education has increasingly been promoted as a strategic approach to addressing social and economic challenges, particularly in developing-country contexts. However, empirical evidence explaining how such education translates into students’ intentions to engage in social entrepreneurship remains limited in the Global South. This study examined the relationship between social entrepreneurship education and social entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial self-efficacy serving as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 397 undergraduate students enrolled in five national universities in Mongolia. The data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) to test the proposed relationships. The results indicated that social entrepreneurship education had a positive but relatively modest direct effect on social entrepreneurial intention, while entrepreneurial self-efficacy showed a strong and significant influence on intention. Moreover, entrepreneurial self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between social entrepreneurship education and social entrepreneurial intention, suggesting that education primarily shaped intention by strengthening students’ confidence in their entrepreneurial capabilities. These findings highlighted the importance of psychological empowerment in transforming educational exposure into entrepreneurial motivation. This study contributes to the social entrepreneurship literature by providing empirical evidence from an underexplored Global South context and offers practical implications for higher education institutions seeking to design more effective social entrepreneurship education programs
Preserving Language, Resolving Conflict: Insights from Aceh and Patani
Full text linkThe preservation of local languages is critical in conflict-affected regions. Yet, a significant gap exists in comparative analysis exploring how divergent political settlements—post-conflict settlement versus ongoing conflict—shape language preservation strategies and outcomes. This study investigates how the de-securitization of language in Aceh, Indonesia, versus the ongoing language securitization in Patani, Thailand, produces fundamentally different strategies and challenges for revitalization. Employing a comparative case study methodology, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 stakeholders across both regions, performed non-participatory observation, and analyzed policy documents. Our findings reveal that Aceh’s formal recognition is undermined by implementation gaps, leading to institutional decay, while Patani’s grassroots efforts are constrained by state suspicion, fostering a model of community resilience. The study concludes that the state’s political decision to (de)securitize a minority language is the pivotal factor determining whether preservation efforts can achieve sustainable, institutionalized vitality beyond mere survival. This research offers a nuanced model for understanding the state’s central role in peacebuilding (SDG 16) through linguistic diversity, providing vital insights for language preservation strategies in other multilingual, conflict-affected regions
Transforming Fiqh Instruction Through the Cyber Scientific Approach: Enhancing Critical Thinking in Islamic Education
Full text linkFiqh learning in Indonesia has traditionally relied on lecture-based instruction rooted in pesantren pedagogy, which often prioritizes knowledge transmission over analytical engagement. This approach, while culturally embedded, poses challenges for cultivating critical thinking skills in 21st-century education. This study introduces the Cyber Scientific Approach (CSA), an instructional model that integrates the scientific method with guided cyber exploration to promote inquiry-based, student-centered learning in Fiqh classrooms. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research involved 60 senior secondary students across three grade levels, combining qualitative data from classroom observations and interviews with quantitative analysis of pre-test and post-test assessments using FRISCO indicators. CSA was implemented through a seven-stage process encompassing Observation, Questioning, Cyber Exploration, Association, Experimentation, Communication, and Conclusion. The findings demonstrate moderate but consistent improvements in students’ critical thinking skills across all grades, evidenced by statistical gains and enhanced classroom engagement. This study offers a structured pedagogical framework that aligns the normative foundations of Islamic jurisprudence with contemporary cognitive and digital competencies. It contributes to advancing Islamic education by providing an empirically grounded model for integrating critical thinking and technology in value-laden curricula
Affective Assessment within Madrasa Teachers: An Analysis of Iterative Thematic Inquiry
Full text linkEffective assessment of students’ attitudes, behaviors, and values is a key component of value-based education reforms, yet its implementation often remains uneven at the classroom level. This study examines how affective assessment policies are enacted in madrasa education under the KDJPI framework in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Using a qualitative research design grounded in Iterative Thematic Inquiry, the study analyzes data from questionnaires administered to 224 madrasa teachers, semi-structured interviews with six teachers (E1–E6), and relevant instructional documents. The findings show that the persistent gap between affective assessment policy and practice cannot be sufficiently explained by teachers’ lack of commitment or competence. Although teachers generally demonstrate positive orientations toward affective assessment instruments such as reflective journaling and checklists, their implementation remains inconsistent due to structural constraints, including limited instructional time, large class sizes, administrative demands, and insufficient institutional support. In response, teachers adopt adaptive strategies that reflect professional agency but also reveal the limits of individual effort in the absence of coherent governance arrangements. By conceptualizing affective assessment as a negotiated and structurally constrained practice, this study contributes to debates on policy enactment and non-cognitive assessment in value-based education systems, with implications extending beyond the specific socio-religious context of Aceh
Beyond the Motive: Lessons Learned from Work Commitment Based on Pesantren
Full text linkEducators’ performance in Pesantren is often measured by the salaries they receive. The salaries of educators and administrative staff at Pesantren are often below the minimum wage. Thus, work motivation arises not from the fulfilment of biological needs, but from the operation of higher values of life’s meaning. This research aimed to understand the forms of pesantren-based work motivation and the factors that shape it. The research employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the forms of motivation rooted in Pesantren values that influence the commitment to work of teaching and educational staff. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis in traditional Pesantrens in East Java. Data analysis was carried out using MAXQDA. The research results showed that the forms of Pesantren-based work motivation consisted of ruhul jihad, sincerity of intention, management of responsibility, self-control, and spirit of service. The research results also showed that the factors that form Pesantren-based work motivation consisted of qasd al-Amal (intention to work), vertical and horizontal balance, tabarrukan, career sustainability and job security, and interpersonal connectedness. These values, deeply embedded in the Pesantren environment, contribute to a strong work commitment that is intrinsic and enduring
Cultural Traditions of Hajj and Umrah: A Comparative Study of Madurese Communities in Indonesia and Malaysia
Full text linkLocal traditions surrounding the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages among Madurese communities have received limited scholarly attention, particularly within comparative transnational contexts. While existing studies documented the cultural significance of pilgrimage in Madura, less is known about how these traditions are reconfigured when Madurese communities migrate and inhabit different socio-political environments. This study examined how Hajj and Umrah practices are organized, experienced, and transformed among Madurese communities in Indonesia and among Madurese migrants in Malaysia. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving community members, religious leaders, and academics. The findings revealed a clear contrast between the two contexts: in Madura, pilgrimage traditions remained highly visible and communally celebrated, reinforcing social cohesion and moral recognition, while in Malaysia these practices tended to be simplified and selectively expressed as adaptive responses to minority positioning, sociopolitical regulation, and norms of public visibility. The study demonstrated that Hajj and Umrah function not only as acts of worship but also as culturally embedded performances through which identity, belonging, and social legitimacy are negotiated within transnational social fields. By foregrounding the interplay between ritual, culture, and mobility, this research contributes to broader discussions on lived Islam, migration, and the dynamic transformation of religious practices across national boundaries
