Abstract

This article explores the strategic contributions of two Islamic-based youth organizations. Ansor Youth Movement and Muhammadiyah Youth are working to actualize the values of national defense and strengthen civic engagement amid contemporary socio-political challenges in Indonesia. The background of this study is rooted in the urgent need to revitalize the concept of national defense, which is no longer limited to militaristic dimensions but also involves the role of citizens in maintaining social integration, interfaith tolerance, and national unity. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, conducted in Tangerang Regency, Banten Province. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using data reduction, thematic categorization, and interpretive meaning analysis. The findings reveal that the actualization of national defense by both organizations is implemented through cadre education, leadership training, and public advocacy grounded in national and religious values. Their involvement in cross-identity social actions, collaboration with the government, and efforts to counter intolerance serve as tangible forms of active citizenship. Furthermore, the development of social capital through solidarity, norms of reciprocity, and trust networks has proven crucial in strengthening civic resilience and national security. This article recommends the enhancement of harmony between youth organizations, government institutions, and educational entities in constructing an inclusive, critical, and value-based model of citizenship.

Abstract

In the global digital era, digital literacy has emerged as a critical educational concern, extending beyond merely technical competence to encompass ethical awareness, social integration, and responsible participation in increasingly polarized digital environments. This study, therefore, examines the effectiveness of the MPIS application in enhancing digital literacy among students in Madrasah Aliyah. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group was employed, involving 64 Madrasah Aliyah students selected through cluster random sampling from a population of 150 students across twelve classes. Data were collected using a validated digital literacy assessment consisting of 20 multiple-choice items, which were then analyzed using normalized gain (N-gain) analysis and independent samples t-tests. The results show that students who used the MPIS application demonstrated higher post-test digital literacy scores; specifically, their mean scores increased from 35 to 85, with an N-gain of 0.75. In contrast, the control group receiving conventional instruction showed an N-gain of 0.45. These findings, therefore, indicate that web-based learning interventions can effectively support the development of students’ digital literacy in Madrasah contexts. Moreover, the study suggests that integrating digital learning tools into Islamic education has the potential to support character-oriented learning, encourage ethical and responsible technology use, and ultimately contribute to more inclusive and constructive digital engagement.
