Abstract

Although there have been studies on the ways writers argue for the importance of their work in their journal article abstracts, such studies on journal article abstracts in the field of Islamic studies have never been conducted. This is important because authors from different fields use different rhetorical styles and linguistic features in their journal articles, such as in their abstracts. The purpose of this study is to look into the argument strategy used in journal article abstracts that are published in local and refereed journals in the field of Islamic studies. For this study, 60 abstracts (i.e., 20 from Indonesian-based journals, 20 from Indonesian-based refereed journals, and 20 from international refereed journals) in Islamic studies were selected and analyzed. The findings indicate that, in terms of abstract length, the three groups of articles are not significantly different; however, in terms of the appearance of Move 1 (introduction, background, or setting) and article justification argument types, they are different. The articles published in the two groups of reputable journals (Indonesian-based and International Refereed Journals) are similar but different from those in Indonesian-based journals. This implies that local journal authors should modify their rhetorical and argumentative styles in their abstracts to match those found in reputable journals, thereby improving the quality of the abstracts.

Abstract

School dropout remains a persistent challenge that limits young people's educational and employment opportunities. This study examined the implementation of a woodcraft education program as an empowerment strategy for school-dropout youth at PKBM Insan Kreatif, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive case study design, the study involved 15 school-dropout youth aged 15–21 years. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the program manager and tutors, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the program was implemented through collaboration with a local furniture enterprise, providing participants with hands-on training in wood identification, machine operation, cutting, shaping, sanding, varnishing, and painting. The program not only enhanced vocational skills but also fostered self-confidence, discipline, responsibility, and active engagement. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the implementation of a community-based woodcraft education program among school-dropout youth, a population that remains underexplored in vocational education research. The findings highlight the potential of non-formal vocational education to support youth empowerment and social inclusion.
