Abstract

Agama merupakan bagian dari kodrat alami manusia. Agama bisa lahir ditempat tertentu yang disebut agama asli, pribumi atau suku, tetapi agama juga bisa dari tempat lain, yakni agama wahyu atau agama unversal, karena dianut banyak orang dari berbagai penjuru. Kedua agama ini memiliki kesamaan dari sisi intinya, karena keduanya  mengaktualisasikan keyakinan yang sama kepada “Sesuatu” yang paling tinggi. Agama asli menyebutnya Yang Suci, agama wahyu menamainya Allah. Kepada-Nya semua manusia percaya dan menyerahkan hidupnya seutuhnya. Dengan adanya gempuran arus globalisasi, peran agama dipertanyakan. Kaum skeptik ilmiah menuduh, “agama suam-suam kuku, tidak mampu bersaing dengan sains. Bagi manusia modern, peran agama sudah terkubur. Namun agama tetap berperan sebagai penjaga dan pemersatu umat manusia di tengah masyarakat multikultural. Agama yang sempat meredup, bangkit kembali dan masuk ke panggung politik dunia, sebagai “penanda” bahwa akal budi dan peradaban modern tidak mampu memenuhi kebutuhan rohani manusia. Agama tetap menjadi “instruktur” yang mengantar kembali manusia kepada “Yang Suci”, Allah sang Pencipta-Nya.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of the Direct Interaction Strategy on teaching reading comprehension of narrative texts at the tenth grade of SMA Negeri Taekas in the academic year 2024/2025. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental class that received instruction using the Direct Interaction Strategy and a control class that was taught using conventional teaching methods. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' reading comprehension before and after the intervention.The findings reveal a significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of the experimental class compared to the control class. The experimental group showed an increase from an average pre-test score of 43.6% (categorized as "Very Poor") to a post-test score of 89.86% ("Excellent"), marking a 106% improvement. In contrast, the control class, which was taught using conventional methods, showed minimal improvement, with an average score increase from 30% to only 28.26%, still categorized as "Very Poor." These results indicate that the Direct Interaction Strategy effectively enhances students’ comprehension of narrative texts by fostering engagement, encouraging critical thinking, and providing real-time feedback. The study concludes that implementing the Direct Interaction Strategy in teaching reading comprehension significantly benefits students' understanding of narrative texts.

Abstract

In increasingly diverse societies, interfaith dialogue plays a crucial role in fostering social tolerance and mutual understanding among different religious and cultural groups. This study employs a qualitative research approach using literature review and library research methods to explore how interfaith dialogue contributes to social cohesion in multicultural communities. By analyzing various scholarly works, reports, and case studies, this research identifies the key factors that enhance or hinder effective interfaith engagement. The findings suggest that interfaith dialogue serves as a bridge to reduce prejudices, correct misconceptions, and build trust between religious communities. Moreover, it fosters a culture of peace by promoting shared values, empathy, and respect for diversity. The study also highlights challenges such as power imbalances, religious fundamentalism, and political manipulation that can obstruct meaningful dialogue. Successful interfaith initiatives often incorporate inclusive participation, open communication, and institutional support to ensure long-term impact. The implications of this study emphasize the need for governments, religious leaders, and civil society to actively support and institutionalize interfaith dialogue as a strategy for preventing religious conflicts and promoting harmonious coexistence. Future research is encouraged to examine the role of digital platforms and social media in expanding interfaith dialogue efforts. Understanding the dynamics of interfaith interactions provides valuable insights for policymakers and community leaders striving to cultivate tolerant, cohesive, and inclusive societies in the face of growing multicultural challenges.
