Abstract

Background: Islamic education in Gorontalo Regency operates within a rich multilingual context, yet it remains insufficiently responsive to local linguistic resources, particularly the Gorontalo language. Although the local language holds significant potential to enhance students’ understanding of Islamic values and engagement, its integration into school management is hindered by a lack of formal policies, academic stigma, and limited supporting resources. Purpose: This study aims to examine how Islamic education management responds to local linguistic contexts and formulate an integrative management model that harmonizes Islamic values with local language practices. Method: Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach with a constructivist design, the research was conducted in Gorontalo Regency through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were collected from 20 informants, including madrasah principals, teachers, Ministry of Religious Affairs officials, and customary leaders. Results and Discussion: Findings reveal that 92% of respondents recognize the importance of the Gorontalo language, only 46% of institutions have implemented it in formal policies, and only 27% of teachers have received relevant training. The local language proves effective in teaching moral character (76%) and religious communication (82%), yet faces structural barriers such as the absence of regulatory support, academic marginalization of local languages, and a scarcity of bilingual teaching materials. Support from customary and religious leaders significantly strengthens cultural legitimacy. Moreover, using the local language demonstrably enhances student participation, comprehension of Islamic values, and religious behavior. Conclusions and Implications: Synthesizing empirical findings with theoretical frameworks—Funds of Knowledge, sociolinguistics, Contextual Teaching and Learning, and Fazlur Rahman’s thought—this study proposes a conceptual model: “Locally Linguistically Responsive Islamic Education Management.” The model comprises four pillars: institutional policy, contextual learning management, culturally grounded teacher capacity building, and socio-religious collaboration. It bridges the universality of Islamic values with local cultural specificity, contributing to both the preservation of indigenous languages and the contextual strengthening of Islamic identity. The study recommends that Islamic education adopt inclusive, context-sensitive management approaches to foster meaningful and sustainable learning.

Abstract

Background: Islamic education in madrasahs is often disconnected from local cultural contexts, rendering Islamic values emotionally and culturally irrelevant to students. In Gorontalo, oral literary forms such as tuja’i, taleningo, and tinilo embody Islamic values aligned with the principle of rahmatan lil-‘alamin (mercy for all creation); however, their integration into language teaching practices remains sporadic and unsystematic. Purpose: This study aims to (1) identify Gorontalo oral literary forms relevant to language instruction in madrasahs, (2) analyse strategies for their transformation into classroom practices, and (3) formulate a localised, wisdom-based language teaching management model. Method: The study employs an exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-site case study design across three regencies in Gorontalo. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving 12 teachers, 6 madrasah principals, 8 local cultural leaders, and 24 students. Data analysis followed the model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2020), guided by grounded theory principles. Results and Discussion: indicate that tuja’i, taleningo, and tinilo hold the greatest potential as authentic instructional materials due to their embedded values of tauhid (monotheism), moral character (akhlak), and social responsibility. Effective classroom strategies include performative learning approaches—such as declamation, tanggomo-based dialogues, and collaborative projects—which significantly enhanced students’ speaking fluency, linguistic politeness, and cultural pride (reported by 83% of students). Nevertheless, major barriers are managerial in nature: a complete lack of teacher training (reported by 100% of respondents), absence of written teaching modules, the dominance of the national curriculum, and insufficient digital documentation. The integration of oral literature extends the theoretical frameworks of Communicative Language Teaching and Funds of Knowledge into the context of localised Islamic education. Conclusions and Implications: Gorontalo oral literature constitutes a strategic pedagogical resource that strengthens linguistic competence, Islamic character, and cultural identity. This research recommends enhancing teacher professional development, developing oral-literature-based teaching modules, and implementing policies supporting localised curriculum autonomy through structured partnerships between madrasahs and customary institutions to revitalise the Gorontalo language and foster sustainable Islamic education.
