Abstract

The dominance of rigid textual and monolithic methodological approaches in religious studies has increasingly limited the scope of critical and contextual inquiry. This article examines the relevance of Paul Feyerabend’s epistemological anarchism as an alternative framework for enriching the methodology of religious sciences, particularly Islamic studies. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, the study analyzes Feyerabend’s major works through conceptual and content analysis, alongside relevant secondary literature in the philosophy of science and religious studies. The findings demonstrate that Feyerabend’s rejection of a single, universal scientific method—articulated through principles such as “anything goes,” counterinduction, theory proliferation, and incommensurability—offers a productive challenge to methodological rigidity in religious scholarship. His emphasis on methodological pluralism opens space for more inclusive, dynamic, and context-sensitive approaches to theological inquiry and Qur’anic interpretation. The study argues that integrating Feyerabend’s epistemological insights enables religious studies to move beyond methodological absolutism by incorporating sociological, historical, and contextual analyses without undermining the normative role of religious texts. In conclusion, Feyerabend’s epistemological anarchism contributes conceptually to the development of a more adaptive and dialogical paradigm in religious sciences, allowing religious knowledge to engage more effectively with contemporary social realities.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an interactive learning media in the form of a 3D animated video using Plotagon Story to enhance student engagement in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education at the junior high school level, particularly in promoting values of tolerance and respect for diversity. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation involving 24 eighth-grade students and three expert validators at SMP Nurul Islami, Semarang City, during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were analysed using a mixed-methods approach combining thematic analysis for qualitative data and a paired t-test for quantitative data. The results indicate that the media is highly valid (88.6%), practical (92% of students found it easy to use), and effective in improving student engagement across affective, cognitive, and behavioral domains. These findings support multimedia learning and student engagement theories, suggesting that narrative animation can serve as an effective tool for internalizing religious values within a socially relevant context.
