Participatory-Based Character Education: Indonesian School Children’s Experiences
Full text linkCharacter education has been subjected to a top-down approach with a student center system. The values embedded completely come from the teachers or the school. This study explored how the participatory learning model could effectively instill character values in students. Students are given space to be involved and subjected to a series of character education processes. It aims to describe how students’ and teachers’ participation could compile the points of character values, how students apply the learning materials designed together, and how they are involved in providing evaluations for themselves and their friends. The qualitative descriptive method was employed in the current study. It aimed to observe and listen to the stories of students and teachers regarding their involvement in the process of curriculum development. Documentation on the learning modules was made for data collection. The data were taken by considering the representation of students and teachers. They engaged in every pulse of the learning process, which led to cognitive and affective development. The research proposed a cooperative investigation alongside other educational institutions, factoring in both the type and affiliation of these schools, aiming to produce more diverse and well-rounded outcomes
Arabic Learning and Religious Identity among Non-Muslim Students in Indonesia
Full text linkThe Arabic language is often perceived by some individuals as inherently tied to Islamic teachings, creating a misconception that deters non-Muslims from engaging with it academically. This study addressed this issue by exploring how non-Muslim students constructed their religious identity and developed adaptation strategies while learning Arabic at State Islamic Religious Universities in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach, collecting data through in-depth interviews with five Christian students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra in Medan, and analyzing it using the ATLAS.ti application. The findings revealed that students maintained a strong and unaffected sense of religious identity, as they viewed Arabic not as a spiritual language but as a neutral, international means of communication. Participants adopted various adaptation strategies, such as framing Arabic as knowledge rather than belief, engaging in conformity, experiencing minority privilege, employing peer learning, utilizing environmental resources for knowledge, and reinforcing religious practices within the family. These strategies highlight the dynamic interplay between identity, belief, and academic engagement in a religious educational context, offering new insights into inclusive language learning environments in Islamic institutions
Multicultural Counselling to Restore Social Harmony in a Multiethnic Acehnese Community
No full textThis study examines the effectiveness of group-based multicultural counseling integrated with Participatory Action Research (PAR) in restoring social cohesion within a post-conflict multiethnic community in Gampong Wonosari, Aceh. The research aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a counseling model that addresses persistent polarization between Javanese and Gayo communities. A PAR design with two intervention cycles was employed, each consisting of planning, counseling sessions, observation, and collaborative reflection. Fourteen purposively selected participants (8 Javanese and 6 Gayo) were involved, screened using the Multicultural Social Relation Vulnerability Questionnaire (MSRVQ). Data collection combined the Multicultural Social Relation Observation Sheet (MSROS), reflection notes, and thematic analysis using NVivo, while quantitative changes were tested with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and effect size calculation. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in interethnic relations: the overall empowerment score increased from 54.54% in Cycle I to 72.07% in Cycle II, with individual scores rising from 62.50% to 73.89% (Z = –2.94, p < 0.01, r = 0.65). Qualitative findings supported these outcomes, showing enhanced empathy, greater openness, and increased confidence in intercultural interactions. This study contributes theoretically by contextualizing Social Learning Theory and the Contact Hypothesis in rural post-conflict communities and methodologically by integrating PAR with mixed-methods counseling interventions. Practically, it provides a replicable model for policymakers, educators, and civil society organizations to strengthen social cohesion in plural societies beyond Aceh
Navigating Politics: How Non-Elite Women in Eastern Indonesia Counteract Dynastic Power
Full text linkAmid the entrenched grip of dynastic and oligarchic political power, non-elite women politicians are developing innovative strategies to garner public support. This study examines how non-elite women navigate structural and cultural to confront dynastic and oligarchic politics within the Southeast Sulawesi parliament during the 2019 and 2024 elections. The research focuses on three regions—the Kendari City Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), the Konawe DPRD, and the South Konawe DPRD—where non-elite women have secured more electoral victories than their elite counterparts, despite the strong presence of dynastic politics at both executive and legislative levels. Data were collected through interviews with women politicians and their campaign teams, as well as documentation of campaign billboards and campaign shadowing. Using a political anthropology approach, this study reveals that non-elite women politicians strategically identify safer voter bases, build cohesive teams, and cultivate grassroots loyalty. While their overall influence remains limited, they effectively navigate and counter the intrigues of dynastic and oligarchic politics. The study highlights how their electoral success contributes to reducing class disparities and gender gaps, fostering gradual political change at both micro and macro levels

Da’wah as Civilizational Infrastructure: Rethinking the Aceh–Türkiye Knowledge Network in Islamic Education and Scientific Exchange
Full text linkThis article reconceptualizes da’wah as a civilizational infrastructure that integrates spiritual guidance with intellectual and technological advancement within the Aceh–Türkiye transregional network. Using an exploratory qualitative approach, the study draws on archival letters, classical Islamic texts, and ethnographic insights from pesantren, majlis taklīm, and Sufi ṭarīqas to explore how religious devotion historically intersected with knowledge production and social transformation. The research finds that sixteenth-century exchanges between Aceh and the Ottoman Empire included both religious manuscripts and maritime innovations, underpinned by a shared Islamic worldview. Contemporary Acehnese pesantren continue this legacy by combining traditional Islamic education with subjects such as astronomy, mathematics, and governance. The study introduces the concept of “civilizational da’wah” to highlight its function as a dynamic system of intellectual mobility, ethical leadership formation, and social resilience—beyond ritual preaching. This model advances Islamic epistemology by integrating civilizational theory and network methodologies. Practically, it offers a framework for educators, policymakers, and religious leaders to embed spiritual depth and intellectual vitality into Islamic education while shaping future-oriented fields such as Islamic fintech, AI ethics, and global Islamic governance
Pseudo-Maṣlaḥah and Epistemological Failure in Marriage Dispensation at Indonesian Religious Courts
Full text linkThis study looked at how maṣlaḥah (public interest) was used in marriage cases in the Religious Courts of Sumatra, Indonesia, and how it was related to the goals of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah. Based on a qualitative analysis of 48 court decisions and in-depth interviews with six judges, the research revealed that the concept of maṣlaḥah was often employed as a procedural justification to accommodate social pressure, rather than as an evaluative ethical-legal framework. Judges tended to prioritize the protection of religion (ḥifẓ al-dīn)—mainly by preventing adultery—while neglecting essential dimensions such as protection of life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), intellect (ḥifẓ al-’aql), and progeny (ḥifẓ al-nasl). This reductionist approach leaded to the legitimization of underage marriage without proper psychological, biological, or economic assessments. The study found that such practices contributed to systemic harm, including early divorce, reproductive health risks, and intergenerational poverty. By critically examining the misuse of maṣlaḥah, this research offered an epistemological critique and proposes a reconstructive framework grounded in empirical evaluation and child-centered justice. It concluded that the reform of Islamic family law requires not only regulatory improvement but also a transformation of judicial reasoning. This study contributes to broader discussions on Islamic legal reform and child protection in Muslim-majority contexts
Language, Youth, and Cultural Identity: Study on the Inheritance of Javanese Speech Levels among Teenagers in Yogyakarta
Full text linkThis study aims to discover how Javanese speech levels are inherited and learned by teenagers in Kotabaru, Yogyakarta, as well as the role of families and schools in internalizing this cultural heritage. The study also investigates how teenagers in Yogyakarta use Javanese as a marker of their cultural identity. The Javanese language is used in daily interaction and communication by native Javanese speakers in Central Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta. This article used a qualitative method with an ethnography of communication approach. The authors collected data by conducting field observations and interviewing teenagers in Kotabaru as informants. This study found that the role of teachers at school is more dominant in the inheritance and understanding of Javanese speech levels to teenagers compared to the role of parents at home. The knowledge and skills of the Javanese speech level of teenagers in Yogyakarta mostly use “ngoko” Javanese in daily communication with people in the family and neighborhood. Despite experiencing difficulties in learning and using the Javanese speech level, teenagers in Yogyakarta still consider the Javanese speech level as a form of their cultural identity as Javanese. The process of inheritance and internalization of the Javanese language requires the involvement of family and community, in addition to schools, in shaping the significance of the Javanese language as a cultural identity
Power Structures and Religious Legitimacy: The Influence of Dayah Ulama in the Politics of Aceh Analyzed using Powercube Theory
Full text linkThe existence and traces of involvement of dayah ulama in the power dimension have placed them as religious leaders and political actors. Resulting in vertical mobility in policy making. The research subjects were dayah ulama and religious leaders in Aceh. This study aimed to understand the dimensions of the political power of Acehnese ulama working at the level, space, and form. This research used qualitative methods based on interview data, questionnaires, and literature studies. The results showed that the ulama dayah had a lot of capital and power to build power. These dimensions could be classified as follows: 1) the level dimension in the power structure of ulama was very central and able to influence local and even national political constellations; 2) with personal qualities and public belief in the Keuramat (sacred) and temeureuka (damned) owned by the ulama, indicating the legitimacy of power in the form of “visible and invisible power” in the Aceh ulama; 3) through dayah institutions, networks of religious organizations and the Ulema Consultative Assembly had provided ample space for Aceh ulama to build their identity and power as holders of religious and social authority in the public sphere
The Impact of Leadership, Motivation, and Remuneration on Employee and Organizational Performance at PTN-BH in Sumatra
Full text linkIn recent years, Indonesian universities have transitioned to legal entity state universities (PTN-BH). This transition significantly impacts employee performance, requiring adjustments in organizational management, particularly in leadership, motivation, and remuneration. This study investigated how leadership style, motivation, and employee compensation influence civil servant performance and, in turn, the performance of PTN-BH universities in Sumatra. The research focused on Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), Universitas Andalas (UNAND), Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP), and Universitas Syiah Kuala (USK), with a population of 4,382 teaching staff members who have at least five years of service. A sample of 367 individuals was selected using the Slovin formula. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SPSS-AMOS-22 software. Key findings showed that leadership style, motivation, and remuneration directly impact both employee and organizational performance. Specifically, leadership style affected both employee and organizational performance, as do motivation and remuneration. Employee performance served as a partial mediator between leadership style and organizational performance, as well as between motivation and organizational performance. The study highlighted how improving leadership practices, motivating employees effectively, and ensuring fair compensation contribute to the overall success of Legal Entity State Universities in Sumatra
