Abstract

This study aims to explore digital habitus and the transformation of social interaction in the use of smartphones among students at MAN 2 Model Mataram. The approach is a mixed method, combining quantitative and qualitative methods through a case study design. Data collection instruments include observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The results show that smartphone usage among students is very high, with 56.5% frequently using them at school and 88.9% accessing non-academic content during class hours. Although most students claim to use smartphones for studying, many also use them for entertainment and social media, affecting their concentration and leading to peer pressure. This repeated usage forms a digital habitus, a new dispositional pattern that replaces direct social interaction with screen-based interaction. As a result, social relationships among students become more individualistic and weaken collective values within the school environment. The main contribution of this research lies in strengthening the concept of digital habitus within the educational context and highlighting the importance of digital literacy as a strategy for character development in the technological era. The study recommends that school policies not only restrict but also guide technology’s ethical and educational use.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how urban families in Mataram City educate their children in faith amid the algorithmic era. The research is based on shifts in family education patterns due to the penetration of digital technology, which has displaced parental authority, created communication fragmentation, and challenged the continuity of religion's role in guiding children's learning. A descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-unit case study design was employed. The research involved five urban families in Mataram City, selected purposively based on their active use of digital devices, parental involvement in children's education, and the application of religious values in daily life, all of which were relevant to the study's focus. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, and were then analyzed thematically and interactively with methodological and source triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that digital education and religious values complement each other in maintaining intergenerational harmony. First, the shift of educational authority from parents to digital sources is addressed through collaboration between moral values and technology at home. Second, the fragmentation of communication caused by gadget dominance is mitigated by creating moments of togetherness and reflective dialogue among family members. Third, religious values serve as a moral compass that guides the ethical and responsible use of technology. The study concludes that educating faith amid algorithms means integrating technology with spiritual and relational values, rather than rejecting digitalization. These findings underscore the importance of fostering family-based humanistic digital literacy that strikes a balance between technical competence and ethical and spiritual awareness.

Abstract

The existence of Wetu Telu in Bayan, North Lombok, reflects the close relationship between religion and local culture in Indonesian society. Wetu Telu is not a religion in itself, but rather a cultural and spiritual system that developed through an acculturation process between Islamic teachings and the local traditions of the Sasak people, passed down through generations. However, modernization and the rapid flow of global culture are slowly influencing the younger generation, leading to a decline in understanding of local cultural values ​​and spiritual traditions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the ritual worship patterns practiced by the Wetu Telu community and understand the cultural and spiritual meanings contained within them. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach and was conducted in Bayan Village, North Lombok Regency. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, involving traditional leaders and the local community. The research results show that Wetu Telu not only represents religious practices but also serves as the cultural identity of the Sasak Bayan people. The "telu" philosophy symbolizes the three phases of human life: Menteluk, Menganak, and Mentiu, while also depicting the balanced relationship between humans, God, nature, and ancestors. Rituals such as ngurisang, ngitanang, village thanks giving, and harvest prayers not only serve as spiritual practices but also strengthen social solidarity and maintain a harmonious relationship between humans and nature. Despite being influenced by modernization, the Wetu Telu tradition remains an important cultural heritage and a symbol of the local identity of the Bayan people
