Abstract

Background. Digital competence has become a fundamental requirement for educators navigating 21st-century learning environments. In rural India, where infrastructural limitations and socio-economic disparities persist, equipping teachers with digital skills is critical to reducing educational inequities and fostering inclusive development. Purpose. This study explores initiatives aimed at developing digital competence among educators in rural Indian contexts, focusing on both the opportunities and systemic challenges involved. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of targeted training programs, identify contextual barriers, and evaluate the sustainability of digital integration in teaching practices. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys of 150 rural teachers across three Indian states with in-depth interviews and field observations. Results indicate that while most educators demonstrated enthusiasm for technology adoptionResults. Results indicate that while most educators demonstrated enthusiasm for technology adoption, significant gaps remain in technical proficiency, access to reliable internet, and availability of culturally relevant digital content. Teachers who received structured, context-specific training exhibited improved confidence, pedagogical innovation, and student engagement. Conclusion. The study concludes that sustained progress in rural digital education requires investment in infrastructure, localized content development, and continuous professional development. These findings contribute to the discourse on digital equity and educational transformation in underserved regions.

Abstract

Social media marketing has become a powerful tool for shaping brand image and influencing consumer behavior, particularly in the context of halal products. As the global demand for halal products continues to grow, understanding how social media marketing impacts brand image and purchase intention is critical for businesses targeting Muslim consumers. However, limited research has explored this relationship, especially in emerging markets where halal product consumption is rapidly increasing. This study aims to examine the influence of social media marketing on brand image and purchase intention for halal products, providing insights into how businesses can leverage social media to enhance consumer engagement and drive sales. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing survey data collected from 300 Muslim consumers in Indonesia. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships between social media marketing, brand image, and purchase intention. The findings reveal that social media marketing significantly enhances brand image (? = 0.52, p < 0.001) and purchase intention (? = 0.48, p < 0.001). Brand image also mediates the relationship between social media marketing and purchase intention, indicating its pivotal role in influencing consumer decisions. This study highlights the importance of social media marketing in building a positive brand image and driving purchase intention for halal products. The results suggest that businesses should prioritize engaging and authentic social media strategies to attract and retain Muslim consumers.

Abstract

Islamic inheritance laws, derived from Shariah principles, play a critical role in shaping wealth distribution and economic behavior in Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia. However, the implementation of these laws often faces challenges due to the coexistence of customary (adat) laws and national legal frameworks, leading to disputes and inefficiencies in wealth management. This study examines the legal and financial implications of Islamic inheritance laws in Indonesia, focusing on their impact on wealth distribution, family welfare, and economic development. The research aims to identify gaps in the current legal framework and propose recommendations for harmonizing Islamic inheritance laws with national regulations to enhance their economic effectiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study analyzes legal documents, court rulings, and financial data, complemented by interviews with legal experts, religious scholars, and families affected by inheritance disputes. The findings reveal that while Islamic inheritance laws promote equitable wealth distribution, their implementation is often hindered by legal ambiguities, lack of public awareness, and resistance from customary law practitioners. These challenges result in prolonged disputes, unequal asset distribution, and reduced economic productivity. The study concludes that harmonizing Islamic inheritance laws with national legal frameworks and enhancing public education on inheritance rights are essential for maximizing their economic benefits. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic law and economics by providing insights into the interplay between legal systems, wealth distribution, and economic development in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background. Professional ethics is a critical yet often underexplored dimension in teacher education, particularly in contexts where cultural, institutional, and systemic challenges intersect. In India, where educators regularly face value conflicts in classrooms—ranging from caste discrimination to gender norms and curriculum constraints—there is a growing need to address how ethical dilemmas are experienced and navigated by pre-service teachers. Purpose. This study explores ethical decision-making in teacher education through a narrative inquiry approach, focusing on the lived experiences of student-teachers across four Indian teacher training institutes. Method. A total of 28 participants engaged in reflective journaling and semi-structured interviews, recounting ethical tensions encountered during practicum or coursework. Thematic narrative analysis revealed recurring dilemmas related to authority, bias, institutional silence, and cultural contradiction. Results. Participants often expressed uncertainty, emotional distress, and conflict between personal values and institutional expectations. However, the process of narrating these experiences also served as a reflective tool, enabling critical ethical reasoning and professional growth. Conclusion. The study concludes that narrative reflection can be a transformative pedagogical strategy in teacher education, fostering ethical sensitivity and professional identity development in complex educational environments.

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT in education has the potential to transform teacher training by enhancing pedagogical competencies. Teacher training programs face challenges in preparing educators with the necessary skills to engage students, design effective lessons, and adapt to diverse learning environments. AI tools, particularly language models like ChatGPT, offer opportunities to simulate real-world teaching scenarios, provide personalized feedback, and support teachers in their professional development. This study aims to explore the use of ChatGPT in teacher training programs to improve pedagogical competencies, focusing on areas such as lesson planning, student engagement, and instructional strategies. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative assessments of pedagogical competencies with qualitative feedback from teacher trainees. The study involved 150 teacher trainees who utilized ChatGPT for interactive simulations, lesson design assistance, and reflective practice over a 10-week period. The results indicate that the use of ChatGPT significantly improved the trainees’ lesson planning skills, ability to engage students, and adapt teaching strategies to diverse learners. Trainees also reported increased confidence in applying pedagogical knowledge in real classroom settings. This study concludes that ChatGPT can be an effective tool in teacher training, helping to enhance pedagogical competencies and provide personalized support for educators’ professional growth.
