Abstract

Timor-Leste is one of Southeast Asia's youngest nations, currently building its educational system on a rich yet complex cultural foundation. Amid post-independence transition, the family remains the primary arena for cultural transmissionvalues that both support and sometimes conflict with formal educational demands. This study analyzes the dynamics of cultural inheritance within Timorese families and its impact on children's educational engagement, using a sociocultural study approach based on systematic literature review. Data were collected from 42 academic sources and reports from relevant international institutions published between 2000 and 2024. Analysis employed Bourdieu's cultural capital theory and Vygotsky's zone of proximal development as theoretical frameworks. Findings reveal that cultural practices such as tara bandu, lisan, and uma lulik shape a habitus that indirectly influences children's access, motivation, and continuity in education. Tensions between traditional value systems and modern educational curricula remain insufficiently resolved. These findings underscore the need for culturally responsive educational policies in Timor-Leste.

Abstract

This study examines the harmony between religious communities in Tridana Mulia Village, Landono District, South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, which is inhabited by Muslims, Christians, and Hindus. The purpose of the research is to describe the form of Muslim and non-Muslim relations in social life by emphasizing the aspect of harmony that exists in the midst of diversity. The research uses field research methods using phenomenological and sociological approaches. The results of the study show that harmony is built through positive interactions that are divided into daily relationships consisting of relationships between fellow Muslims and relationships with Muslims. Relations with non-Muslims are established in five main aspects: First, Economy, through the practice of buying and selling and business cooperation without religious discrimination; Second, Communication and social, through open dialogue, solidarity, and mutual cooperation; Third, Politics and government, with an inclusive and meritocratic pattern of political participation; Fourth, Education, through the implementation of multicultural education and religious moderation in schools; and Fifth, Culture, through joint celebrations, mutual cooperation, and respect for interfaith traditions. The associative relationship can be seen in the form of productive cooperation in cross-faith farmer groups. These findings confirm that differences in beliefs are not barriers, but rather a force to build social cohesion. The harmony created in Tridana Mulia Village can be a model for other multicultural regions in developing harmony, tolerance, and cooperation between religious communities.
