Abstract

The research is based on the problem of understanding role models in Islamic education which is often treated in a homogeneous and value-neutral manner. This article aims to integrate the concept of prophetic exemplary with social cognitive theory to explain how the observational learning process and modeling of kiai shapes the santri's vision of life. Using a qualitative-conceptual approach with a theoretical-reflective analysis method through a review of literature sources. Conceptually, the kiai’s exemplary grounded in prophetic ethics and actualized in daily interactions, emerges as a transformative model of living that shapes santri’s worldview and conduct, reinforced by the pesantren environment that supports the continuous internalization of values. This modelling directly influences the santri's future orientation in three aspects: spirituality, social responsibility, and life planning. The study concludes that the prophetic exemplary played by the kiai within the pesantren subculture is a form of character development and future orientation formation that is relevant to the needs of contemporary Islamic education. Theoretically, this study extends Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory by contextualizing it within Islamic culture and pesantren subculture. Practically, it suggests the development of character education and collaborative policies to strengthen the formative role of pesantren.

Abstract

Adolescents from divorced or conflict-affected families in Indonesia often experience academic anxiety rooted in emotional instability and limited family support. This challenge is especially pronounced in Javanese cultural settings, where harmony, acceptance, and spiritual balance are central to well-being. However, research on school counselling in Indonesia remain largely generic, often neglecting these cultural and spiritual dimensions that shape students’ emotional resilience. To address this gap, the present study explores the Junggringan Kawruh Jiwo (JKJ) counselling method, a culturally grounded approach that integrates Islamic spirituality and Javanese indigenous values to support students from broken families in managing academic anxiety. JKJ combines Ki Ageng Suryomentaram’s concept of kawruh jiwa (self-awareness and emotional responsibility), Islamic spiritual practices (dhikr, prayer, and reflection on Qur’anic verses), and Javanese principles (nrimo, ngalah, sabar) into a holistic therapeutic framework. Six students (aged 16-18) from divorced or conflict-affected families and three experienced school counsellors, purposively recruited through school administrations based on their prior work with such students, participated from three vocational schools in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of reflective journals (February-April 2025). Credibility was enhanced through triangulation across data sources and validation via member checking and expert consultation in Javanese cultural and counselling traditions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and reflective journal analysis between February and April 2025. Credibility was enhanced through triangulation of data sources and verification of interpretations via member checking and expert consultation in Javanese culture and counselling practice. The findings reveal that JKJ counselling enabled students to recognise and regulate anxiety through reflective dialogue, spiritual practices, and culturally resonant exercises promoting acceptance and self-awareness. Counsellors’ empathetic engagement fostered emotional safety and trust. Collectively, these results indicate that JKJ represents a culturally responsive counselling framework with potential to enhance the psychological support available to adolescents from broken families in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines the shift in the meaning of religious texts that transform from exclusive to inclusive in the book Abyan al-Hawāij by K.H. Ahmad Rifa’i. This reinterpretation of the text is given that the conflicts that occurred between the Rifa’iyah group and non-Rifa’iyah residents were mostly caused by the Rifa’iyah group’s textual reading of religious texts that were exclusive. This article reviews exclusive religious texts by showing their historicity (historical function), meaning development (meaning function), and implicative function (implicative function) in order to show a more proportional new meaning. The approach used in this study is hermeneutics of Gracia, critical discourse analysis of Fairclough, and intertextual of Kristeva. The analysis is focused on looking back at the structure of the text (textual analysis), the discourse built by the author (discursive analysis), and the socio-cultural practices surrounding the text. Hermeneutically, the text is then seen in terms of its historical function, the function of developing its meaning, and the function of its implications within the framework of the cultural function of the text. The results of the research show that the exclusive religious text in Abyan al-Hawāij is an oppositional and confrontational text built by the author as a response to the Dutch colonial socio-cultural and political realities in the archipelago at that time. Therefore, reading these texts must also see the discourse of the text. These texts actually have many meanings (multi-vocality). In principle, these meanings are equally acceptable in line with their respective discourses. Reading the exclusive text in Abyan al-Hawāij in the current era of religious tolerance and harmony requires understanding the historicity of the text so as not to get stuck in an exclusive understanding of religion.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the rejection of formal education by the Sedulur Sikep community. This study uses James Scott's theory of resistance to describe the forms and characteristics of resistance to formal education in Sedulur Sikep Kudus. This study employed qualitative research methods with an ethnographic approach to obtain data on community resistance to formal education. The data collection was carried out using interviews, observation, and documentation. The results revealed that the forms of resistance carried out by the Sedulur Sikep Kudus community were closed forms of resistance. It can be interpreted as a conscious rejection of formal education through less systematic procedures. They consistently refuse to engage in formal education due to their commitment to upholding their ancestral traditions and teachings. Also, they harbor doubts about work-oriented formal education. Furthermore, the educational values taught by the Sedulur Sikep community align with Islamic educational values. This study limits its focus on the portrait of the Sedulur Sikep community's rejection of formal education and the relevance of Islamic educational values to the educational values of Sedulur Sikep Kudus. Consequently, further research is needed to complete this study.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the internalization of tolerance values through religious learning at the Al-Hikmah Lasem Islamic Boarding School. The type of research used is field research, namely research that requires researchers to travel to the field to observe phenomena in a scientific context. The subjects in this study were Kiai, Ustaz, head of the boarding school, administrators, and students of Al-Hikmah Lasem. The criteria for students involved by researchers to determine research subjects were those who had lived in Islamic boarding schools for a range of two to four years. The results of this study revealed that the internalization of tolerance values at the Al-Hikmah Lasem Islamic boarding school was achieved through habituation strategies and exemplary strategies. The internalization process was carried out through religious learning both textually through book studies and contextually through examples and procedures for socializing and tolerance with the community. Supporting factors for achieving the internalization of the tolerance value included the motivation frequently given by caregivers, Ustaz, and administrators to the students of the Al-Hikmah Lasem Islamic Boarding School; the condition or environment of the Al-Hikmah Lasem Islamic Boarding School; the existence of supporting facilities at the Al-Hikmah Lasem Islamic Boarding School. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors comprised the different backgrounds of students and the lack of interaction between students and the Chinatown community.

Abstract

Spiritual strengthening of Islamic Higher Education students through learning activities is not only enough rely on teaching materials, but also need a new instructional communication model. This study aims to investigate the implementation of Holistic Instructional Communication (HIC) for nurturing students’ spirituality of the Sufism and Psychotherapy Study Program. This paper reports a qualitative and quantitative study about the implementation of HIC for students of Indonesian Islamic higher education in Kudus and Semarang, Indonesia. This study was derived from interviews with Islamic education lecturers about instructional communication patterns at the universities. It also included observations of instructional communication implementation in the classroom. Data were garnered through a qualitative and quantitative approach to enable substantial descriptive data collection about how students’ spirituality can be nurtured by implementation of holistic instructional communication. The results showed that the holistic instructional communication (HIC) model that had been implemented was a message-oriented circular communication model, so that spiritual strengthening was not optimal. Therefore, HIC model was implemented based on the holistic education paradigm by adapting Barnlund's transactional communication model which is oriented towards the construction and negotiation of meaning for student spiritual strengthening. The HIC model has met the valid criteria, is considered practical and effective for strengthening student spirituality based on the validation result 89.02% and 85.75% of students’ activities. The conclusion of the effectiveness of the model is based on the increase in the spiritual dimension of students after participating in learning with the HIC model, with an average percentage gain score is 59% and an average normalized gain score (N-gain) is 0.6 with a fairly effective category. This confirms that efforts to strengthen student spirituality can be done by implementing the HIC model.
