Abstract

This study aims to produce wasatiyah (religious moderation) measurement instruments that are valid, reliable, and meet the criteria for the goodness of fit statistics based on theoretical constructs to formulate dimensions, aspects, and indicators. Wasatiyah is measured by 4 (four) dimensions, including the nationality dimension, Islamic dimension, tolerance dimension, and anti-violence dimension. Each dimension consists of 2 (two) aspects, thus there are 8 (eight) aspects and a total of 25 (twenty-five) indicators. The research subjects were 286 (two hundred and eighty-six) people for instrument 1 and 250 (two hundred and fifty) people for instrument 2. They were educators and education staff of Islamic integrated schools that are members of the Indonesian Islamic Integrated School Network (Jaringan Sekolah Islam Terpadu, JSIT). This research uses mixed methods, namely qualitative methods with a literature study approach and quantitative methods through field trials with measurement methods. In its analysis, the research used LISREL 8.8 application through reflective construction based on confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Based on the confirmatory factor analysis, the wasatiyah construct is valid, reliable, and fit as a model. Each dimension, aspect, and indicator can reflect and shape the wasatiyah construct both on instrument 1 and instrument 2. Therefore, the measurement model of the wasatiyah theoretical construct can be accepted according to empirical data obtained from field tests. As the Ministry of Religion's program to develop moderate Islamic understanding in the nation needs to be supported by clear measurement tools, the wasatiyah measurement instruments are expected to avoid political prejudice. Wasatiyah must be defined honestly, not based on momentary political interests. It is hoped that the wasatiyah measurement instruments can be used by any institution, especially formal educational institutions, to assess the wasatiyah level of their employees, teachers, or staff. In addition, it can also be used by other Muslim communities such as youth of mosques, hijrah communities, and so on.

Abstract

Objective: The fundamental purpose of education is to cultivate learners’ capacity to think critically as an essential component of human development. Critical thinking aligns with higher-order cognitive processes in Bloom’s taxonomy, particularly analyzing, evaluating, and creating, which are central to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 4 on quality and inclusive education. This study aims to examine the effect of Model-Based Learning, operationalized through Problem-Based Learning (PBL), on students’ critical thinking skills in Islamic Studies at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Kartasura. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework integrates constructivist learning theory, Bloom’s cognitive taxonomy, and the SDGs-oriented education paradigm, emphasizing learner-centered instruction and cognitive empowerment. Literature review: Prior studies highlight the effectiveness of PBL in promoting critical reasoning; however, empirical evidence within Islamic education contexts linked explicitly to SDGs remains limited. Methods: This research employed an experimental method using a pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 53 ninth-grade students, with 18 students assigned to the experimental group and 35 students to the control group. Data were collected through structured pre-tests and post-tests designed to measure critical thinking indicators within the cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy. Results: The findings reveal a statistically significant effect of PBL on students’ critical thinking skills in Islamic Studies. The Mann–Whitney test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001, indicating a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. These results demonstrate that Model-Based Learning contributes meaningfully to developing students’ higher-order thinking skills while supporting the goals of sustainable and quality education. Implications: The implications of this study suggest that integrating SDGs-oriented PBL into Islamic education can enhance cognitive competence, foster critical awareness, and prepare students for complex social challenges. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its empirical linkage between Model-Based Learning, Islamic Studies, and SDGs within a junior high school context, offering a replicable framework for sustainable educational practices.

Abstract

Objective: This study explores the implementation of entrepreneurial models in three pesantren: Islamic Boarding School ‘A’ in Ngawi, Islamic Boarding School ‘B’ in Sukoharjo, and Islamic Boarding School ‘C’ in Surakarta. Each pesantren employs distinct approaches—namely, the in-house business model, the ‘maklon’ (outsourced production) partnership model, and the contract-based partnership model. Pesantren, as traditional Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, have long served as centers for character-building and moral education. With the advent of global economic challenges, these institutions are tasked with bridging religious teachings and modern economic competencies, particularly through entrepreneurship education. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research integrates Islamic educational philosophy and sustainable development goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth). Literature Review: A literature review reveals that entrepreneurial education contributes significantly to students' readiness for real-world challenges, fostering economic self-reliance while maintaining ethical integrity. Methods: Using a qualitative approach, this study combines case study analysis, interviews, and field observations. Results: The findings indicate that the ‘maklon’ partnership model has the most significant impact, increasing pesantren revenue and equipping Santri with practical skills in business management, marketing, and finance. Additionally, all three models emphasize ethical entrepreneurship rooted in Islamic principles, contributing to SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production). Implications: The implications of this study are profound, suggesting that pesantren can serve as hubs for sustainable economic education that aligns with religious values. By adopting entrepreneurial models, these institutions not only enhance the economic resilience of their students but also contribute to broader societal development. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its exploration of how pesantren-based entrepreneurship education can simultaneously advance religious and economic goals while addressing SDGs. It provides a replicable framework for integrating ethics and entrepreneurship in similar educational contexts.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the synergy between the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and Muhammadiyah in promoting religious moderation to contribute to Indonesia’s achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The primary objective is to explore how these three key actors collaborate in fostering moderation and how their efforts align with SDG targets, particularly those focused on peace, justice, and strong institutions (Goal 16). Theoretical Framework: Theoretical frameworks of religious moderation and functionalism guide the study, emphasizing the importance of balanced religious practices in a pluralistic society. Literature Review: The literature review highlights the roles of NU and Muhammadiyah in religious moderation, noting their unique contributions: NU’s inclusive Islam Nusantara approach and Muhammadiyah’s emphasis on Wasathiyah Islam. These frameworks underscore the importance of tolerance, justice, and harmony in national life, aligning with Indonesia’s commitment to promoting peace and reducing social fragmentation. However, studies also point to challenges, such as ideological differences between the two organizations and their relationship with the government, which complicate cross-sector collaboration. Methods: A qualitative research methodology was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, and document studies to gather data from key informants within the Ministry of Religious Affairs, NU, and Muhammadiyah. Thematic and constant comparative analysis were applied to identify key patterns and themes, including the interplay between religious moderation, government policy, and SDG implementation. Results: The research findings reveal that while progress has been made in promoting religious moderation, the lack of effective collaboration between the government and religious organizations remains a significant barrier. NU’s close ideological ties with the government contrast with Muhammadiyah’s critical yet supportive stance, leading to fragmented efforts. This fragmentation hampers the full realization of shared goals, including the achievement of SDGs in Indonesia. Implications: The study’s implications suggest that strengthening cross-sectoral collaboration and aligning organizational efforts are essential for achieving religious harmony and advancing SDG targets. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the intersection of religious moderation and SDGs, offering insights into how religious actors can contribute to sustainable development.

Abstract

The 21st century's digital disruption, intensified mobility, and the resurgence of identity-based polarization have reconfigured the aims of education beyond cognitive achievement toward ethical agency, intercultural competence, and socially responsible citizenship. This article examines how Indonesian pesantren-Islamic boarding schools with a long tradition of moral formation-cultivate multicultural character and what lessons their value-based ecology offers for global educational development. Using library research, the study conducts a philosophical and conceptual content analysis of peer-reviewed scholarship, pesantren-related policy and curricular documents, and global education frameworks, especially Global Citizenship Education and Education for Sustainable Development. The synthesis indicates that pesantren operationalize multicultural character through (1) ethical-theological foundations such as rahmatan lil 'alamin and ukhuwah insaniyah, (2) communal pedagogies emphasizing exemplary leadership (uswah), habituation, and community learning, and (3) adaptive innovations that integrate digital literacy with moral restraint. These practices foster moderation, empathy, inclusivity, and civic responsibility-capabilities aligned with 21st-century learning agendas. The article proposes a Pesantren-Based Multicultural Character Education Model (PBMCEM) as a transferable conceptual framework. Implications are discussed for curriculum design, teacher formation, and policy, highlighting how localized religious-moral traditions can inform internationally relevant strategies for multicultural character education.

Abstract

The phenomenon of low literacy quality in Indonesia is a very urgent problem to be overcome, considering that literacy is a basic skill that is very important for every individual, especially students. Literacy not only includes the ability to read and write, but also includes the skills of critical thinking, analyzing, and understanding information. With low literacy skills among students, this hinders their ability to access the more complex knowledge needed in later education. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that affect the low quality of literacy in Indonesia and explore the development of innovative literacy teaching models that can be implemented in primary schools. In addition, this study also aims to provide recommendations for the development of education policies related to literacy. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data was collected from relevant scientific literature, including journal articles, reference books, and conference articles. The main focus of this study is the text-based and technology-based literacy teaching model, as well as its relationship with students' critical thinking skills. The analysis technique used is thematic analysis to identify patterns and trends related to the research topic. Based on the research that was found, the low quality of literacy in Indonesia is caused by several factors, including lack of access to quality teaching materials, limited resources, and lack of teachers' skills in using technology in teaching literacy. The use of digital technologies such as e-books and gamification-based learning platforms can increase students' reading interest and improve their literacy skills. Literacy teaching models that integrate project-based and text-based approaches have proven effective in improving students' understanding and skills in literacy. This study concludes that to improve the quality of literacy in Indonesia, there needs to be reforms in teacher training, with a focus on integrating technology in literacy teaching. Teaching models that combine technology and text-based methods can be an effective solution to address literacy challenges in Indonesia. This research contributes to the development of literacy-based education policies that are more relevant and applicable at the elementary school level.
