Abstract

This qualitative study examines the impact of globalization on religiosity, focusing on how religious beliefs and practices evolve, adapt, or resist change in a rapidly shifting global landscape. Employing a cross-cultural approach, the research explores diverse perspectives through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. The findings highlight the dynamic interplay between global influences and local religious traditions, revealing varying responses among individuals and communities. While some embrace globalization, integrating new ideas into their faith, others resist or modify their practices to preserve religious identity.

Abstract

Islamic communication is a comprehensive and ethical framework rooted in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, emphasizing truthfulness, wisdom, respect, and responsibility. It plays a crucial role in Da’wah (Islamic preaching), education, interfaith dialogue, media, and digital discourse. As communication methods evolve, Islamic communication must adapt to modern platforms while maintaining its ethical foundations. This study explores the theoretical foundations, methodologies, contemporary applications, and challenges of Islamic communication. It highlights how traditional approaches, such as sermons and direct interpersonal dialogue, have transitioned into digital spaces, including social media, online learning, and global media platforms. While these developments offer new opportunities for outreach and engagement, they also pose challenges such as misinformation, unethical media practices, Islamophobia, and the commercialization of religious content. The research underscores the importance of media literacy, responsible digital engagement, and scholarly participation in ensuring that Islamic communication remains authentic, impactful, and aligned with Islamic ethical values. Furthermore, it presents future directions for strengthening Islamic communication, including the integration of modern technology, youth engagement, and ethical guidelines for digital Da’wah. By examining both traditional and contemporary dimensions, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of Islamic communication and its role in fostering knowledge, unity, and positive social change in an increasingly interconnected world.

Abstract

This study examines the situation of science education in Bangladesh, analyzing the effects of government changes and concentrating on the difficulties the educational system faces. The study is to shed light on curriculum, teacher preparation, and resource availability to enhance science education in both urban and rural settings. Semi-structured interviews, policy analysis, and a review of the literature were all part of the qualitative research methodology. In addition to interviews with elementary and secondary science teachers throughout Bangladesh, information was obtained from pertinent educational policies, scholarly publications, and reports. Teachers' opinions on the difficulties of teaching science, the availability of resources, and the efficacy of governmental reforms were all examined in the interviews. Recurring themes and patterns were found using thematic analysis. Results show that access to science education has increased, while there are still issues, especially in rural areas. Inadequate teacher preparation, a lack of resources, and an antiquated curriculum that impedes inquiry-based learning are major problems. Regional inequities and gaps in teacher skills persist despite government initiatives to promote digital education and infrastructure. To raise the standard of science education, the report emphasizes the necessity of ongoing investments in infrastructure upgrades, curricular reforms, and teacher development. A small sample size that might not accurately represent all regional contexts and possible bias in self-reported data are among the limitations. With its useful suggestions for resolving the issues and enhancing science instruction in Bangladesh, this study provides insightful information for researchers, educators, and policymakers.

Abstract

Objective: This research aims to explore the integration between strategic leadership, value-based management, and teacher development in improving the quality and sustainability of Islamic education in the digital age. The main focus is to design an educational model that aligns Islamic ethical principles with modern managerial and pedagogical approaches. Theoretical framework: This research is based on a combination of contemporary organizational leadership theory and classical Islamic educational philosophy, specifically the concepts of Tarbiyah (coaching), Ta'lim (teaching), and Ta'dib (formation of adab). This framework aims to connect Islamic ethics with the challenges of globalization, technology, and the demands of 21st-century society. Literature review: The literature review includes modern strategic leadership theories, the principles of traditional Islamic education, and previous research on institutional transformation in Islamic schools. In addition, an analysis of educational policies and managerial practices in Islamic institutions in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Muslim diaspora communities is also highlighted to reinforce contextual relevance. Methods: The research uses a qualitative approach with case studies on successful Islamic schools in various regions, complemented by a literature analysis and policy documents. The goal is to explore best practices in the transformation of Islamic values-based institutions. Results: Results show the importance of building spiritual leadership, integrating Islamic ethical values in institutional governance, digital-based and traditional-based teacher training, and ethical use of technology in Islamic education. Implications: This research provides a new direction for Islamic education reform to be more responsive to the digital age without abandoning spiritual values. These findings are useful for policymakers, educators, and managers of Islamic educational institutions. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in the development of an integrative framework that integrates strategic leadership, Islamic ethics, and digital pedagogy, as well as presenting real-world examples of practice from various global contexts of Islamic education.
