Abstract

Mosques have strategic potential as centers for empowering the community economically, but in practice, this function has not been fully optimized. This research aims to analyze the role of mosques as centers of Islamic education and entrepreneurial incubation in Ternate City, as well as to identify supporting factors, obstacles, and their impact on the well-being of the congregation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, conducted at several mosques in Ternate City that have implemented economic empowerment programs. Data was collected thru in-depth interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and document studies, and then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The research findings indicate that mosques in Ternate City have begun to play a role in Islamic entrepreneurship education and micro-business mentoring for congregants, particularly thru strengthening Islamic business ethics values, utilizing religious social funds, and establishing mosque-based social networks. However, its implementation is still limited, unstructured, and faces constraints in terms of human resources, governance, and institutional collaboration. This research concludes that optimizing the role of mosques as centers of Islamic education and entrepreneurial incubation requires an integrated, professional, and contextual approach to sustainably improve the well-being of the congregation.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze education policy as a participatory space by examining community involvement outside of formal approaches. The research uses a qualitative approach with a policy study design. Data was collected thru field observations, in-depth interviews with education actors and community members, and a review of relevant policy documents. The research results indicate that community participation in formal education policies is still dominated by procedural and administrative mechanisms, thus not providing adequate space for substantive involvement in decision-making. The relationship between schools and society tends to be hierarchical, which limits the bargaining power of society in determining the direction of education policy. On the other hand, more meaningful community participation is actually developing outside of formal approaches thru contextual and responsive community-based education initiatives that address local needs. This finding confirms that education policy needs to be understood as a social process that demands recognition and integration of community-based educational practices in order to create democratic and sustainable education policies.
