Abstract

Purpose: Traditional history teaching methods in the social sciences often overlook constructivist and inquiry-based approaches, meaning that trainee history teachers are under-exposed to such approaches. This study aims to evaluate how trainee history teachers understand and apply inquiry-based methods when local history is integrated into teaching materials, as well as to assess the pedagogical effectiveness of local history in enhancing teacher education. Methods: This study employed an exploratory qualitative approach involving history teacher trainees enrolled in a teacher training programme at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Data were collected through focus group discussions, interviews, and classroom-based inquiry activities. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in participants’ understanding and perceptions of inquiry-based learning utilising local history. Findings: The findings indicate that integrating local history into the curriculum significantly enhances participants’ engagement and interest. Students demonstrated a deeper understanding of inquiry-based learning, particularly in formulating questions, analysing sources, and drawing evidence-based conclusions. Participants also reported increased confidence in applying inquiry-oriented teaching methods, although concerns regarding classroom implementation remain. Research implications: This study is limited to specific groups and contexts, which may affect generalisability. However, it highlights the pedagogical value of contextual and inquiry-based approaches in teacher education. Challenges such as time constraints and institutional readiness need to be considered for wider implementation. Originality: This research contributes by demonstrating the effectiveness of local history as a pedagogical medium to support inquiry-based learning. It offers a contextual approach to bridging theory and practice in teacher education and suggests directions for future longitudinal research on sustained pedagogical impacts.

Abstract

This article examines changes in Sufi practices in the lives of urban Muslims through three religious spaces in Jakarta: the Habib’s religious study circles in the Bukit Duri–Tebet area, the Habib Kwitang Assembly, and the Al-Hawi Assembly in Condet, East Jakarta. Building on the concept of the commodification of tranquillity, the research examines how Sufi values and practices interact with the rhythm of metropolitan life, consumer culture, and the urban population’s need for spiritual spaces. The research employs a sociological approach to religion using qualitative methods, including observation of majelis activities, interviews with congregants and organisers, and an analysis of da’wah materials and social practices developing around the study circles. The research findings indicate that urban Sufism does not develop by distancing congregants from modern life. The practices of zikr, selawat, religious study sessions, and veneration of the figure of the habib coexist alongside work, mobility, consumption, and the digital lives of Jakarta’s residents. The need for tranquillity also brings spiritual experiences into contact with elements of lifestyle and economic activity, as evidenced using digital media, the appearance of congregants, religious products, and commercial activities around the majelis. Nevertheless, commodification does not automatically eliminate the religious function of these gatherings. These three spaces continue to serve as places where congregants can take a break from the pressures of city life, forge social bonds, and navigate the relationship between piety and worldly life. This research demonstrates that urban Sufism thrives through its ability to adapt spiritual tranquillity is not sought by abandoning metropolitan life, but rather by bringing religious experiences into the midst of everyday urban life.
