Abstract

This research focuses on increasing knowledge, skills, and community participation in the management of bodies in accordance with Islamic sharia through training and mentoring at the Taklim Council. The main objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of community-based training in building individual competencies and strengthening social solidarity within the Muslim community. This study uses a qualitative method with a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which involves the active participation of community members at the Thariqul Falah Taklim Council, Toboleu Village, Ternate City. The data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and focused group discussions, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis technique consisting of three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn/verification. The results of the study showed that the training succeeded in improving the participants' theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and confidence in caring for the body, as well as strengthening the sense of collective responsibility and community solidarity. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of a participatory approach and flexibility in the implementation of community-based training to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of future religious education programs.

Abstract

The rapid transformation of education in the 21st century demands approaches that move beyond traditional, teacher-centered instruction toward models that are more student-centered, experiential, and contextually relevant. In Indonesia, this shift is embodied in the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka), which emphasizes curriculum flexibility, local contextualization, and the active role of teachers in adapting instruction to students’ needs and environments. Within this context, John Dewey’s philosophy of progressive education, which underscores learning through experience, critical reflection, and social engagement, offers an important theoretical foundation for understanding and strengthening contemporary pedagogical practices. This study aims to examine the relevance of Dewey's educational philosophy to the implementation of contextual learning within the Independent Curriculum by employing a qualitative descriptive approach based on library research. Drawing on analyses of Dewey’s seminal works, educational policy documents, scholarly publications, and documented examples of curriculum application in schools such as SMAN 10 Kota Ternate, SDN Tomagoba Tidore, and SLB Sofifi in North Maluku, the study finds that Dewey’s principles—learning by doing, real-life experience, and student-centered engagement—are strongly reflected in current practices of contextual learning. The documented evidence highlights positive outcomes, including increased student motivation, active participation, and improved effectiveness of the learning process. These findings affirm the enduring relevance of Dewey’s educational philosophy in addressing the demands of 21st-century education and underscore the necessity of sustained policy support and continuous professional development for teachers to ensure the successful implementation of the Independent Curriculum.
