ChatGPT in Learning: The Case Study of Motives and Implications for Islamic School Educators in Indonesia
No full textThe development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has seen significant progress and has become an attractive platform for improving the quality of education. In recent years, interest in AI-based applications has been very high among academics, including Islamic school educators in Indonesia. This paper aims to highlight the motives and implications of Islamic school educators in using ChatGPT in learning. This article uses qualitative research with a field research design. Primary data sources are derived from interviews, where the main data were obtained through interviews with Islamic school educators at the Madrasah Aliyah (MA) and Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) levels in Indonesia. Secondary data were obtained from scientific articles (journals), books, websites, and other relevant literature related to the research object. Data collection techniques included interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques were based on Miles et al., namely data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that ChatGPT offers numerous benefits for educators, including enhancing and facilitating access to information, searching for teaching materials, and accessing learning resources. However, despite its many advantages, the use of ChatGPT in education also presents several challenges, such as dependence on technology, potential ethical violations, and privacy concerns. These negative impacts, if not addressed, could have adverse effects on educators in schools

Kinesthetic-Audio Methods in Teaching Islamic Education to Visually Impaired Students at Nagan Raya Special School, Aceh
No full textThe study aims to describe the use of kinesthetic and audio methods in Islamic education learning for blind children. Another objective is to determine the combination of the role of teachers as motivators, facilitators and evaluators in implementing these methods. The research approach used was qualitative with a case study method. Determination of sources was conducted using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data credibility testing was conducted using source triangulation, theoretical validity, independent analysis, and member checking. Data analysis was carried out by organizing the data, creating categories, determining themes and patterns, and seeking alternative explanations of the data. The results of the study indicate that the application of kinesthetic and audio methods uses five techniques, namely direct approach, repetition, practice breaks, turn rotation and memorization reinforcement. These techniques are applied adaptively depending on the psychological condition of students. The completeness of learning tools for children with special needs supports the application of kinesthetic-audio methods. Islamic education teachers play a role as motivators, facilitators and evaluators systematically and deliberatively. These three roles are combined to minimize learning barriers for blind children. Evaluation using the kinesthetic-audio method does not make students a single object in a repressive manner, but rather as a diagnostic process for aspects of teacher competence, method accuracy, and implementation of learning procedures

Primary data sources were obtained from historical books, including Ahmad Barjie entitled “Dr. K.H. Idham Chalid Ulama Politisi Banjar di Kancah Nasional,” Arief Mudatsir Mandan with the title “Napak Tilas Pengabdian Idham Chalid: Tanggung Jawab Politik NU dalam Sejarah,” and Abdul Rahman Jaferi Rahmadi and Ahmad with the title “Elite Muslim Banjar di Tingkat Nasional.” Secondary data was obtained from scientific articles, books, and other relevant literature related to the research topic. The data analysis techniques used were data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study found that the role and struggle of KH Idham Chalid during the New Order era can be categorised into two categories. First, he fought within the New Order government. President Soeharto trusted KH Idham Chalid to hold strategic positions. One of them was to succeed the Family Planning (KB) programme. Second, he fought outside the New Order government through the education sector by establishing Darul Ma’arif in Cipete, South Jakarta, and Darul Qur’an in Cisarua, Bogor. KH Idham Chalid also frequently held religious study sessions that were widely attended by the public and played a role in the establishment of the Nahdlatul Ulama University (UNNU) in Bandung, which later evolved into the Nusantara Islamic University (UNINUS). Exploring the history of the educational institutions established by KH Idham Chalid could serve as a valuable subject for further research
Exploring the Influence of Internet Usage on Religious Moderation: A Phenomenological Study Among Gen Z
No full textThe rapid advancement of the internet has significantly influenced how Generation Z engages with religious knowledge and practices, raising concerns about its impact on their perspectives, attitudes, and behaviors regarding religious moderation. This study aims to examine this influence, focusing on actively enrolled students who demonstrate internet addiction and rely heavily on online platforms for religious activities. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews and observations to capture the lived experiences of these students.

However, the study highlights the need for supervision and guidance to foster critical thinking and discernment, emphasizing the importance of digital literacy in promoting balanced and thoughtful religious perspectives among Generation Z in the digital er
Religious Moderation of Formal and Informal: Its Implementation and Relevance in Countering Radicalism in Indonesia
No full textThis article offers a strategy to instill the values of religious moderation in students through Islamic education as a formal application of religious moderation. On the other hand, in the practice of social life, many local wisdoms are owned by communities in various regions of Indonesia, which have similarities and can support indicators of religious moderation. Implementation in this form is said to be a form of informal application of religious moderation. This article aims to highlight the application of religious moderation in Indonesia formally through Islamic education and informally through local wisdom that is part of the customs and culture of Indonesian society. This article is a literature research study using the grounded theory approach method. The data used is qualitative and analyzed using Miles et al.’s qualitative data analysis techniques, namely data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study found that to give birth to a moderate generation, it is necessary to develop Islamic education by using religious moderation as a paradigm of religious moderation formally. In addition to formal forms, the application of religious moderation must also be supported by local wisdom embodied in the culture and customs of the people in each region in Indonesia as a form of informal application of religious moderation. This research contributes to stemming the radicalization of religion (Islam) that occurs in schools (educational institutions) while disseminating the value of religious moderation following the character of Indonesian Islam to students. In addition, it also contributes to preventing tension and conflict in the community, so a cultural approach is needed through local wisdom that has messages from local ancestors about peace
The Problem of Religious Guidance among Indian Muslims: A Forward-Thinking Proposal
No full textThe Indian Muslim community faces a paradox, marked by the presence of religious leaders without a clear path forward. The article identifies a lack of guidance, particularly in matters of faith, as numerous Ulema offer conflicting fatwas, stemming from a flawed Ifta methodology. Tracing the historical evolution of fatwa issuance, the 19th-century shift in India, influenced by the East India Company's trade-focused policies, led to an abundance of independent Ulema. This article explores the historical evolution of Ifta in Islam, with a focus on India. It reviews the transition to formal fatwa institutions, compares practices across regions, and proposes centralizing fatwa authority through a high central council in India, offering recommendations for reform. The absence of a centralized authority for fatwa issuance in India results in a chaotic scenario.To address this, the author proposes a structured solution: establishing a high central council of diverse Ulema and intellectuals. This council would delegate responsibilities for religious and social issues to ensure uniformity in fatwa decisions nationally. However, the article underscores that councils alone are ineffective without legal enforcement authority. This article will show: 1) Abundance of Guidance and Contradictory Fatwas; 2) Evolution of Fatwa Issuance in Islamic History; 3) Current State of Fatwa Issuance and Recommendations for Reform. Additionally, it advocates reevaluating the concepts of 'Dar al-Islam' and 'Dar al-Harb' in the context of India's identity. The author suggests a Parliament-recognized Council to issue fatwas, aligning with democratic principles and reflecting shared ownership among India's diverse Muslim population
