    Education for multicultural citizens in Indonesia: policies and practices

    Get PDF
    This paper examines how education in Indonesia can help create tolerant and multicultural citizens through the analysis of policies and practices. After the political shift in 1998, Indonesia issued education law No. 20 in 2003 which contains, though vague, a couple of articles that can underpin the development and implementation of multicultural education. This is a ‘spirit’ of multicultural education, which has been interpreted in subsequent regulations and decrees. In this paper, the author explores how these policies and school curricula have been translated into practices. The author conducted a series of ethnographic fieldwork in two provinces, Yogyakarta and Central Kalimantan, visiting six different schools: four religious (three Islamic and one Catholic), one state secular and one state vocational. The findings suggest that there were inconsistencies between policies and practices of multicultural education due to a lack of explicit policies and incapable education decision-makers and teachers

    Creating a culture of religious tolerance in an Indonesian school

    The author describes the importance of school–family relations in es- tablishing a culture of religious tolerance among pupils of a state senior secondary school in the multicultural city of Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan. Palangkaraya is a provincial capital city, and is home to different ethnicities and religions. In 2001, a massive ethnic riot erupted between the local Dayak and emigrant Madurese in Sampit, a district in Central Kalimantan province, and quickly spread to other districts, including Palangkaraya. This conflict was re- garded as a national tragedy and took hundreds of lives. In this post-conflict context, the author examines how several related aspects of school – culture, curriculum and instruction, politics and policies, and school–community rela- tions – contribute to the school’s efforts to nurture religious tolerance among students. The data were derived from the author’s ethnographic fieldwork in 2010 employing participant observation, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers and students. The findings suggest that students have acquired an embodied cultural capital of religious diversity and tolerance from families and community, and that this has equipped them to help create a ‘tolerance culture’ in the school, despite the unsupportive school politics and inconsistent school policies related to religious diversity. On their own initia- tive and, to a lesser extent, inspired by the formal curriculum, religion teachers play a pivotal role in shaping students’ understanding of religious diversity and tolerance through deliberate teaching about some aspects of other religions

    A person's readiness for marriage is seen from physical and non-physical aspects. Bâligh is physical sign. Meanwhile, non-physical aspects are psychological, social, and economic. Besides, Islamic law also provides guidances about the worthiness for marriage in the Qur’an and hadits. No verse clearly explains the the worthiness age for marriage, but the Qur'an hints at this eligibility in several verses. In this research, the author will explore the interpretations of two mufassirs who are famous for their style of fiqh, they are Al-Qurthubî in his work Tafsîr al-Jâmi' li Ahkâm al-Qur'an and Wahbah al�Zuhailî in the book al-Tafsîr al-Munîr. This research uses a comparative method by comparing interpretations of verses in the Qur’an in their books, then analyzing similarities and differences, and then exploring the factors causing the differences. This research is included in library research and will produce qualitative descriptive research. The main verses used in this research are Q.S. Al-Nisâ` verse 6, then another verses Q.S. Al-Nûr verses 32-33 and verse 59, Q.S. Al-An'âm verse 152, Q.S. Al-Hajj verse 5 and Q.S. Yûsuf verse 22. The point of similarity between the interpretations of al-Qurthubî and Wahbah al-Zuhailî is the physical condition, they characterized it by menstruation for women and nocturnal emission for men. Meanwhile, the differences found in the interpretation of these two figures are in non-physical aspects. Al-Qurthubî only discussed a glance of non-physical aspects and not even including to the main aspects. Meanwhile, al-Zuhailî's interpretation includes other aspects, such as psychological maturity, and considers it from the legal and socio-economic aspects that were applied at that time. This condition occurs because the difference in the classical and contemporary eras influenced their interpretation. Al-Zuhaili uses the contextual interpretation when he interprets the verses while al-Qurthubî does not use i

Functionalist approaches consider the adaptive value and underlying mechanisms of behaviour as separate but complementary questions, avoiding the conflation of ultimate and proximate explanations that has long hindered research on teaching and other forms of cooperation.Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC

    PEMANFAATAN MUSIK BUATAN AI MELALUI DEEPFAKE: STUDI HUKUM KOMPARATIF INDONESIA DAN AMERIKA SERIKAT

    The advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has enabled the creation of music through deepfake methods that realistically mimic the voice, style, and characteristics of artists without their involvement or consent. While this innovation brings new possibilities to the music industry, it also raises significant legal issues, particularly regarding the recognition of AI as an author, the legal protection of AI-generated musical works, and the potential infringement of the original creator’s economic and moral rights. This study aims to examine the legal status and protection of musical works produced by AI using deepfake techniques under Indonesian Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright, and to compare it with the legal system of the United States. This research employs a normative juridical method, combining a descriptive-analytical and comparative law approach, with a focus on secondary data derived from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The findings show that neither Indonesia nor the United States currently recognizes AI as a creator. Copyright protection is only granted if there is a significant human contribution to the creation process. However, Indonesia lacks specific regulations addressing AI, deepfake technology, or objective standards to assess originality and the threshold of similarity, which creates legal uncertainty in enforcing copyright law for AI-generated music
