Abstract

The shift in the democratization of education has been influenced by the decentralization of education in Indonesia since 2001. The shift in the dominance of education management from centralized to decentralized can also be seen within Islamic educational institutions. Democracy can be seen, among others, by applying the concept of community-based education in a national education administration organized by Islamic institutions. Data were obtained through interviews, participatory observation and document study. Interviews were conducted with key informants: the principal, teachers, parents, students and the user community. The characteristics of democratization in Islamic schools generally begin with a dialogue between democracy and Islamic teachings. The acceptance of democracy in Hj Isriati's institution is understood as a concept that aligns with Islamic teachings (humanistic model). The acceptance of democracy in Al-Azhar school can be classified into integralistic democratization. Democratization in Islamic schools in Semarang city in managerial aspects is generally based on competitive and professional aspects. This is because Islamic schools are private schools whose funding sources are mostly from the stockholder community, which demands high competition and professionalism to exist in the community. Democratization in the aspect of learning in Islamic schools is generally based on Islamic characteristics and becomes the most prominent feature in democratization in the aspect of learning.

Abstract

This study examines differences in social media preferences for early childhood Islamic education among Millennial and Generation Z parents. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through structured interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis involving ten participants—five from each generation—in Batang Regency. Findings reveal that Millennials prefer YouTube and Facebook, focusing on structured access to visual educational content such as animated Islamic videos and songs. In contrast, Gen Z actively uses TikTok, Instagram, and educational games, often creating original content or collaborating with online communities to creatively convey Islamic values. For Millennials, social media is a supportive tool to introduce Islamic teachings in a fun, visual way. At the same time, Gen Z uses it to build communities and teach basics like hijaiyah letters. However, a surprising finding is that Gen Z’s usage tends to be irregular, with high frequency and duration, increasing risks of gadget addiction and exposure to negative content. The study contributes to understanding how generational differences shape modern Islamic education strategies via social media. It offers practical insights for parents, educators, and policymakers to develop age-appropriate approaches and establish guidelines for healthy, effective social media use in early Islamic education, ensuring positive engagement while minimizing digital risks.
