Abstract

This study investigates multicultural attitudes among 168 ECE teacher candidates from four state Islamic universities in Indonesia, using a quantitative descriptive design and the Multicultural Attitudes Survey for Teachers. Results indicate a high average multicultural attitude score of 74.12, with candidates demonstrating confidence in managing multicultural classrooms and promoting cultural pride among children. However, their attitudes are primarily based on personal interactions rather than formal coursework. Interviews with 27 respondents further explore multicultural education practices during teaching practicum, revealing a need for improved collaboration with parents and greater emphasis on multicultural education in both teacher education and ECE curricula. Practical implications include integrating multicultural education into teacher education programs, fostering experiential learning for attitude development, and expanding multicultural education coverage in ECE curricula to enhance children's multicultural awareness.

Abstract

The Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs has emphasized the integration of science and religion within madrasah education to improve graduate quality. MAN Insan Cendekia has been at the forefront of this initiative, aiming to enhance student literacy and methodological rigor through academic writing programs. This study aims to evaluate the implementation and impact of the academic writing program at MAN IC Tanah Laut, focusing on how it integrates science and religion through a multidisciplinary approach. Employing a case study approach, the research involved data collection from the madrasah headmaster, deputy academic, academic writing program coordinators, and supervising teachers. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The academic writing program at MAN IC Tanah Laut began in 2016 as an extracurricular activity, requiring all students to participate and be guided by teachers in researching contemporary issues from various disciplinary perspectives. By 2018, it had become a co-curricular flagship initiative and was integrated into the core curriculum as a graduation requirement for grade XII by 2021. The program's evolution contributed significantly to the school’s achievements, including securing a second runner-up position in the MYRES competition in 2021 and winning a championship in the field of religion with a scientific emphasis in 2022. These outcomes demonstrate the program's success in effectively blending scientific and religious education. The research underscores the necessity of designing holistic curricula that foster interdisciplinary learning. It highlights the importance of enhancing methodological quality in academic writing programs, investing in teacher development, implementing authentic assessment models, and engaging the community. These findings offer valuable insights for other madrasahs and religious institutions aiming to integrate science and religion in their educational frameworks.

Abstract

This article discusses the challenges of European Islam at the intersection of Islamic traditions and modern liberal democratic values and the urgency of bridging the two. European Islam is looking for a common ground that can combine reason and faith in harmony, integrate the values of modernity with the spiritual view of Islam, and identify the challenges and opportunities faced by European Islam in the context of Western liberal society. Bidar, in his contribution to the concept of European Islam, argues that religion is not only about rituals but also about profound spiritual experiences. He proposed the concept of Self Islam, which emphasizes individual freedom, personal responsibility, and spiritual connection with Allah. According to Bidar, individual freedom is the key to spiritual life. In addition, everyone can choose how to practice religion according to his spiritual needs. Bidar proposed Islamic reform, oriented towards the unification of religions and modernity, by prioritizing humanist values and human rights and reforming Islam in the light of modernity. According to him, humans become God's autonomous vicegerent on earth and have the right to manage it freely but responsibly. In addition, in harmony with Kantian, Bidar believes that human immortality can be achieved through piety and good deeds.

Abstract

Active student participation and engagement in diverse practice exercises are essential for mastering all four language skills. Due to the lack of active participation, students' proficiency in Arabic language learning, particularly in speaking skills (maharah kalam), falls below the required educational benchmarks. This research uses a quasi-experimental approach to assess the effectiveness of two different learning media: Plotagon for Tenth-grade students of IPS 1 and digital comics for Tenth-grade students of IPS 2 in improving Arabic speaking skills. The research findings indicate that students who used Plotagon as a learning tool to enhance their speaking skills achieved significantly better learning outcomes on average compared to students who used digital comics for the same purpose. Additionally, this study found that students who utilized Plotagon for learning exhibited higher engagement levels than those who used digital comics. These findings highlight the significance of active engagement in learning Arabic and indicate that Plotagon animation can be a valuable tool for enhancing learning outcomes and student engagement.
