Abstract

The debate on pluralism and religious freedom remains a hot topic of discussion today. There are pros and cons to both schools of thought. Abdulkarim Soroush, a reformer who actively advocates pluralism and religious freedom, aims to understand Soroush's thoughts on pluralism and religious freedom. This study uses a descriptive qualitative methodology with a historical-critical approach. The results of this study are Soroush's thoughts on the dynamics of religious knowledge that lead to the concepts of pluralism and religious freedom. According to Soroush, plurality is the norm in this world. There is nothing wrong with recognizing the same plurality (species) in the world of religions. Religious freedom has been taught by the prophets (including the Prophet Muhammad), namely never forcing individuals to believe, spreading goodness and truth. Therefore, Islam in particular cannot prevent its followers from choosing a religion freely and consciously, ignoring the dynamism of religious freedom.

Abstract

This study examines the significant role of Tafsir Tarbawi in the development of Islamic education in Indonesia. Tafsir Tarbawi not only serves as a source of values but also as an epistemological and theological foundation for building Islamic education concepts and theories. Despite the significant role of Tafsir Tarbawi, there are still fundamental questions regarding its nature, validity, and acceptance within the academic community. The objectives of this study are to understand the definition and relevant verses of Tafsir Tarbawi, identify key Tafsir Tarbawi scholars in Indonesia, and comprehend the characteristics and approaches of Tafsir Tarbawi. The research method used is a qualitative study with a descriptive-analytical approach through literature review, referring to books, articles, and journal entries related to Tafsir Tarbawi. The results of the study indicate that Tafsir Tarbawi is a systematic study of Qur'anic exegesis that investigates the concepts of Islamic education, including definitions, objectives, methods, media, evaluation, and management. Key Tafsir Tarbawi scholars in Indonesia include Prof. Dr. H. Abuddin Nata, MA., among others. The characteristics of Tafsir Tarbawi are evident in the exegesis approach that views tafsir from an educational perspective. This study is expected to enhance understanding of the role of Tafsir Tarbawi in Islamic education and address the challenges and opportunities that may arise in the future.

Abstract

Education in the current digital era presents a new challenge for parents, students, and the community. Although technology brings many benefits, it also presents serious problems due to educators' unpreparedness, students' unequal use of technology, and the need to integrate educational psychology with modern technology. This study aims to identify the main challenges in digital era education and explain the role of educational psychology in addressing them. The research method uses a qualitative approach through a literature review, analyzing literature related to the industrial revolution 1.0 to the disruptive era 5.0, as well as the role of technology in education. The results show that the main challenges include the lack of educator competence in technology, students' dependence on social media and games, and minimal infrastructure support. Educational psychology plays a crucial role in guiding educators and students to adapt to technology productively, creating an inclusive, innovative, and sustainable education.
