Building Peace through Social Capital: Preventing Religious Intolerance in Manggarai, Indonesia
Get PDFThis article examines how social capital prevents and manages religious intolerance and conflicts in Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Departing from the limited attention paid to local community practices compared to previous studies emphasizing state regulation or religious leadership, this study focuses on how bonding, bridging, and linking social capital are operationalized in everyday life. Drawing on Putnam's social capital framework and a qualitative approach, the research employed 20 in-depth interviews, four focus group discussions (FGDs), and document analysis in Ruteng (urban) and Reo (rural), with data triangulation and cross-case comparison to enhance validity. The findings show that symptoms of intolerance are relatively rare. Conflicts such as youth disputes triggered by hoaxes or contestations over places of worship are resolved peacefully through collaborative mechanisms involving religious leaders, traditional leaders, the Interreligious Harmony Forum (FKUB), youth forums, and local government. Cultural norms of kinship, inclusivity, and unity strengthen bonding capital, cross-group dialogues serve as bridging capital, while FKUB's institutional role and government–community partnerships provide linking capital. Theoretically, the study contributes by demonstrating a hybrid model of social capital in Manggarai, where cultural traditions and institutional structures reinforce one another in sustaining interfaith harmony while exposing vulnerabilities such as minority exclusion and dependence on proactive leadership. These findings enrich scholarly debates on social capital and tolerance in plural societies and offer practical recommendations for strengthening interfaith youth engagement, embedding cultural wisdom into institutional forums, and ensuring inclusive representation within FKUB to support broader national efforts
Cultural Resonance and the Diffusion of Ngaji Lagu as Qur’anic Da‘wah Practice: Socio-Cultural Transformation in South Sumatra
Get PDFThis study examines the diffusion of Ngaji Lagu (nagham), a locally rooted Qur’anic recitation practice employing melodic patterns, and its cultural resonance within the Muslim community of Ogan Ilir, South Sumatra. Cultural resonance in this study is defined as the capacity of a religious–cultural practice to be meaningfully received, reproduced, and institutionalized across social groups, thereby shaping cultural continuity and transformation. Grounded in diffusion of innovation theory and cultural anthropology, the research aims to analyze the diffusion process of Ngaji Lagu, identify its supporting and inhibiting factors, and examine its socio-cultural and religious impacts. The study adopts a qualitative ethnographic approach conducted through prolonged fieldwork in Ogan Ilir. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Interviews involved 28 purposively selected informants, chosen based on their knowledge, mastery, understanding, and active involvement in the practice, transmission, and development of Ngaji Lagu within the Ogan Ilir community. The informants comprised Ngaji Lagu practitioners, religious scholars, educators, MTQ organizers, and community figures who play key roles in the diffusion process. Data analysis followed an interactive model of data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and verification, with trustworthiness ensured through triangulation, prolonged engagement, thick description, reflexive analysis, and peer debriefing. The findings reveal that the diffusion of Ngaji Lagu unfolded through three phases—initiation, early dissemination, and development—facilitated by pilgrimage networks (haji nahun), cultural amalgamation, and educational–competitive arenas. Diffusion occurred through informal, formal, non-formal, media, and MTQ channels, generating innovations in melodic patterns, functional orientation, and pedagogical methods. Supporting factors include the cultural authority of key diffusors, institutional support, media expansion, and strong community demand, while inhibiting factors involve uneven distribution of MTQ-standardized teachers, limited curricular integration, and declining youth engagement. Synthesizing these findings, the study proposes the Cultural Resonance Theory of Nagham (CReToN) as an analytical framework that emphasizes resonance as a mediating mechanism between religious innovation and socio-cultural transformation
Contested Moral and Political Authority on Instagram: Religious and State Actors’ Framing of Palestinian Humanitarian Narratives
Get PDFThis study examines the growing competition between religious and state actors in framing Palestinian humanitarian issues on Instagram. Previous studies on Palestinian digital activism on Instagram have generally emphasized emotional solidarity and content amplification but have failed to account for how religious and state actors directly compete for moral and political authority within the same platform space. Addressing this gap, this study aims to identify how these actors construct and contest narrative frames and how users negotiate meaning through their engagement patterns. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through analysis of high-engagement posts, semi-structured interviews with religious and institutional content producers, and documentation of digital footprints, which were analyzed through pattern matching within the frameworks of digital authority and moral legitimacy. Findings indicate that religious actors construct humanitarian narratives based on moral-emotional appeals and religious obligation, while state actors emphasize diplomacy, legality, and political stability. Public responses demonstrate selective alignment and open competition, which reinforce non-state narratives through heightened emotional engagement. This study enhances the comprehension of religion-state relations in digital environments by illustrating that legitimacy is not exclusively generated by formal institutions but is actively negotiated through narrative interactions, public sentiments, and platform visibility. In doing so, this research goes beyond previous studies of digital activism by positioning Instagram as an arena for contested moral and political authority, rather than simply a medium for mobilizing human solidarity
Cultural Politics and Communication Strategies in Pesantren Adaptation to Modernity: A Case Study of Pesantren Tebuireng
Get PDFThis study analyzes how Pesantren Tebuireng adapts to the demands of modernity through cultural politics and communication strategies, two concepts that have not been fully explained in the context of traditional Islamic educational institutions. Despite numerous studies on pesantren and their role in Islamic education, a research gap remains in understanding how pesantren maintain their authority amidst globalization and changing state policies. To fill this gap, this study aims to explain how pesantren, specifically Pesantren Tebuireng, can survive and adapt to the times through cultural politics and communication strategies. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed it using triangulation techniques to ensure credibility. The theoretical framework used is cultural politics and communication strategies, which are operationalized by examining how pesantren maintain tradition while responding to external regulations and managing their image in society. The main findings indicate that Pesantren Tebuireng successfully maintains its religious identity through selective adaptation to modernity, utilizing cultural politics to maintain institutional autonomy, and implementing communication strategies to build public trust. This research contributes to the discourse on pesantren adaptation by emphasizing how communication strategies and cultural politics can serve as tools for maintaining identity and power in the face of modernity. These findings enrich existing debates on the relationship between tradition, power, and communication in the context of religious institutions and open up further research directions that deepen the interaction between pesantren and broader socio-political dynamics

The study concludes that P5 effectively functions as a hidden curriculum, developing Pancasila Student Profile characteristics through meaningful experiential learning that transcends conventional approaches, warranting continued policy support
Redesigning Heat Transfer Learning for Diverse Jakarta Elementary Students: A Cognitive Load–Optimized Virtual Lab (CLOVL)
Get PDFElementary schools in Jakarta face gaps in science learning resources, resulting in uneven and often theoretical practical experiences for students. Virtual laboratories offer a pathway toward equity, yet poorly structured designs can trigger cognitive overload and undermine learning. This study examines how a virtual lab optimized with cognitive load theory—the Cognitive Load–Optimized Virtual Lab (CLOVL)—influences fifth graders’ conceptual understanding of heat transfer in six elementary schools (three central and three suburban) in Jakarta. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, we involved 120 students and 12 science teachers. The experimental group used CLOVL, which incorporated five-minute segments, pre-training of key vocabulary, narrative–visual modalities, and personalization through culturally Indonesian avatars. The control group used a conventional virtual lab. Quantitative data consisted of pre- and post-tests, an adapted cognitive load scale, and eye-tracking for a sub-sample (n = 40). Qualitative data were gathered from teacher interviews, classroom observations, and student focus groups. Results indicated higher conceptual understanding in the CLOVL group (normalized gain ⟨g⟩ = 0.52) compared to the control group (⟨g⟩ = 0.23), with a large standardized effect size (Hedges’ g ≈ 1.20), particularly in suburban schools, where gains were approximately 45% greater than in central schools. Integrative analyses showed shorter fixation durations and a higher proportion of gaze directed toward relevant areas. These findings support the application of cognitive load principles and underscore the role of cultural relevance in virtual lab design for urban Indonesian settings, while highlighting the theoretical, practical, and policy implications for further research
Teachers’ Roles in AI-Integrated Gamified Learning Environments to Enhance Creativity and Students’ Critical Thinking
Get PDFThis study examines the role of teachers in designing and implementing AI-integrated gamified learning environments to enhance teacher creativity and students’ critical thinking skills at the senior high school level. Grounded in the demands of 21st-century education, this research responds to persistent challenges in classroom practice, including low student motivation, limited literacy skills, and passive learning engagement. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 30 teachers, supported by analysis of student learning instruments. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns related to teachers’ pedagogical creativity, instructional decision-making, and classroom interactions. The findings suggest that teachers play a crucial role in transforming gamification from a technical tool into a meaningful pedagogical strategy by creatively integrating AI-supported features, such as personalized feedback, adaptive learning pathways, and smart tutoring assistance. Teachers reported that this approach increased students’ learning motivation, engagement, and ability to critically analyze and understand concepts. However, the study also reveals challenges faced by teachers, including variations in student readiness, low literacy levels, and students’ overreliance on technological support without deep reflection. The study concludes that the effectiveness of gamified learning environments depends largely on teachers’ creative and reflective pedagogical practices, particularly when supported by AI-driven personalization. These findings underscore the strategic role of teachers as key agents of innovation and contribute to the development of teacher-centered, technology-enhanced learning models that aim to strengthen creativity and critical thinking skills in Indonesian secondary education
