Abstract

This study examines the tradition of pitih balanjo, in which a prospective groom provides a monetary gift to his prospective bride during the courtship period in Minangkabau society, and evaluates its compliance with Islamic law. This tradition has long been an integral part of the social system and is regarded as a symbol of a man’s sincerity in proposing marriage. The value of pitih balanjo is determined not by the amount given but by the giver’s sincerity. The study employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, including interviews, participant observation, and documentation, to gain an in-depth understanding of the practice and its socially constructed meanings. Findings indicate that the community views pitih balanjo as a symbolic bond between prospective partners, preventing others from proposing to the woman after the gift is given. However, the traditional sanction requiring the gift to be returned double in case of a canceled engagement contradicts the Islamic principle of voluntary gifts (hibah), which cannot be withdrawn except in specific contexts, such as by a father to his child. The study concludes that the giving of pitih balanjo is permissible as long as it complies with Sharia, while the traditional sanction mechanism warrants reconsideration.

Abstract

The genduri funeral tradition represents a form of cultural heritage preservation aimed at offering prayers for deceased individuals through a series of rituals performed on specific days following death. This study seeks to identify the factors that sustain the continuity of this tradition and to analyze it from the perspective of maqashid al-sharia. The research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the practices and cultural meanings underlying the genduri funeral tradition. The findings indicate that the tradition continues to be preserved because it is regarded as a hereditary custom and is supported by the belief that prayers offered by family members and the community benefit the deceased. From the perspective of maqashid al-sharia, the genduri tradition is permissible as long as it does not contain elements of shirk and embodies positive values such as strengthening social solidarity, enhancing spiritual awareness, and fostering interpersonal relationships. These findings suggest that local cultural practices can align with the objectives of Islamic law as long as they are carried out in accordance with the principles of aqidah and provide broad social benefits to the community.

Abstract

The debate on the neutrality of scientific knowledge whether science is value-free or value-laden has been a central discussion in the philosophy of science from the era of logical positivism to the present. The positivist tradition of Carnap and Reichenbach, along with Popper’s falsificationism, argues that the process of scientific justification must be separated from non-epistemic values in order to secure objectivity. However, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in contemporary scientific research presents empirical evidence that challenges this ideal of value-free science. This study critically examines how the use of AI in science supports the value-laden position advocated by Thomas Kuhn, Helen Longino, and feminist epistemology. Employing a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, the study is analyzed through a philosophical analytical framework. The findings identify three major positions: neopositivism, which defends the value-free ideal; the Kuhnian position, which acknowledges the role of epistemic values; and the radical value-laden position. The discussion demonstrates that artificial intelligence substantiates the value-laden view through four dimensions: algorithmic bias as a manifestation of social values, value-laden design choices in artificial intelligence systems, the incommensurability of artificial intelligence paradigms, and situated objectivity, which requires explicit recognition of embedded values. The study concludes that artificial intelligence not only confirms but reinforces the argument that the value-free ideal is a philosophical illusion, and that responsible science requires critical reflexivity toward the values embedded within scientific practice.

Abstract

Cognitive evaluation instruments are essential tools for systematically and objectively measuring students’ thinking abilities. This study analyzes two primary types of cognitive assessment instruments objective tests and essay tests by evaluating their quality based on established indicators of validity and reliability. The purpose of this research is to examine how effectively these instruments measure cognitive performance across different levels of thinking skills. This study employs a qualitative research method with a content analysis approach, which involves reviewing, selecting, and analyzing scholarly literature, including textbooks, empirical studies, and theoretical documents related to test construction, validity, and reliability. The content analysis reveals that the cognitive domain encompasses mental processes such as problem-solving, reasoning, and the integration of conceptual knowledge. Written cognitive test instruments generally consist of essay tests (restricted and extended response) and objective tests (true–false, multiple-choice, matching, and completion). The findings demonstrate that the overall quality of cognitive evaluation instruments is largely determined by their validity and reliability, which serve as critical benchmarks for ensuring the accuracy and consistency of cognitive measurement.

Abstract

This study analyzes the conceptual and practical tensions between government formal policies and the informal character of pesantren in the transformation of Islamic education in Indonesia. Although Law No. 18 of 2019 provides formal legitimacy for pesantren, the relationship between the government and pesantren does not operate linearly. Formalization through standardized curricula, accreditation, competency certification, and administrative obligations has created new dynamics within pesantren, which were previously based on non-bureaucratic traditions such as sorogan, bandongan, and halaqah. Many pesantren respond to these policies through adaptive strategies: accepting certain aspects of formalization to gain legitimacy and funding, while maintaining informal structures as the core of their identity. This research employs a qualitative approach, including document analysis, in-depth interviews, and participatory observation in both salafiyah and khalafiyah pesantren. The findings indicate that the formalization-informalization dilemma is a dialectical process involving adaptation, resistance, and compromise. The study underscores that the sustainability of pesantren depends on their ability to develop a hybrid education model that accommodates the demands of modernity without compromising foundational traditions.

Abstract

Cognitive Learning Theory emphasizes mental processes as the foundation of how individuals acquire, organize, and process knowledge. Rather than viewing learning solely as a response to external stimuli, this theory highlights the role of cognitive structures, perception, memory, attention, and higher-order thinking. This study aims to examine the core concepts of Cognitive Learning Theory and analyze their relevance from an Islamic perspective. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, this study reviews key sources in educational psychology, peer-reviewed journals, and Islamic literature, including Quranic verses and the perspectives of Muslim scholars. The findings indicate that fundamental cognitive concepts such as reason, understanding, reflective thinking, and internal reinforcement are strongly aligned with Islamic educational principles. The Quran emphasizes the use of reason through concepts such as tadabbur, tafakkur, and ta‘aqqul, which correspond to cognitive processes highlighted in modern learning theory. This study argues that integrating Cognitive Learning Theory with Islamic educational values contributes to the development of learning strategies that are both cognitively effective and ethically grounded.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the ways knowledge is produced, disseminated, and validated, resulting in significant paradigm shifts across educational, religious, and social domains. This study aims to examine how Islamic scholars construct and negotiate ethical frameworks and knowledge paradigms in response to the digital revolution, particularly in relation to ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of knowledge. Employing a qualitative approach with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this study applies content analysis to examine classical and contemporary Islamic scholarly texts, academic publications, and authoritative digital discourses on technology and ethics. The findings reveal that Islamic scholars perceive the digital revolution as both a challenge and an opportunity: while digitalization disrupts traditional modes of authority and knowledge transmission, it also enables the emergence of more adaptive, inclusive, and context-sensitive models of Islamic scholarship and education. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates an increasing emphasis on integrating spiritual and moral values with technological innovation to ensure ethical accountability and social benefit. This study implies that the formulation of technology ethics in the digital age requires a holistic integration of Islamic ethical principles with contemporary technological realities, offering a normative framework that promotes human well-being, social responsibility, and the public good.

Abstract

The integration of content and language learning has increasingly been recognized as an effective pedagogical approach to enhance both subject comprehension and foreign language proficiency. This study examines the effectiveness of using English as a medium of instruction in teaching basic economics within an Islamic higher education context to improve students’ understanding of economic concepts and their English language skills. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved students enrolled in a basic economics course delivered in English. Data were collected through classroom observations, analysis of students’ learning tasks, and questionnaires, and were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that English-medium instruction fosters active student engagement, enriches discipline-specific economic vocabulary, and strengthens comprehension of fundamental economic concepts. Despite initial challenges related to limited English proficiency, sustained exposure and supportive instructional strategies were found to mitigate these difficulties. The study highlights the potential of English-medium instruction as an effective approach to strengthening the quality and global orientation of economics education in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

Quranic memorization programs serve as an important instrument in fostering students’ character and behavioral development. This study aims to examine the influence of Quranic memorization program management on character formation and behavioral development among elementary school students. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. The sample consisted of 120 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL 8.80. The results indicate that the management of the Quranic memorization program has a positive and significant effect on students’ character (t-value = 6.72) and behavioral development (t-value = 5.94). The SEM model demonstrates a good fit, as indicated by χ² = 142.18, RMSEA = 0.045, CFI = 0.97, and GFI = 0.93. These findings confirm that well-structured management of Quranic memorization programs contributes substantially to enhancing students’ religiosity, discipline, responsibility, and social behavior.

Abstract

This study analyzes the transformation of Indonesia’s political structure from a federal system to a unitary state during the 1950s, with particular attention to center–periphery relations, the emergence of the PRRI and Permesta movements, and their political implications for the configuration of national power. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in historical research, the study utilizes document analysis of state archives, legal and regulatory texts, political speeches, and relevant academic literature. The data are examined through qualitative content analysis and historical interpretation to identify patterns of power centralization, elite fragmentation, and fiscal–political tensions between the central government and regional authorities. The findings indicate that the transition to a unitary state was shaped by a complex interaction of parliamentary political dynamics, unequal resource distribution, and post-election institutional instability. PRRI and Permesta emerged as expressions of regional dissatisfaction with increasing centralization rather than as explicitly separatist movements; however, the escalation of these conflicts contributed to the weakening of parliamentary democracy. The study further demonstrates that the dissolution of the Masyumi Party and the Indonesian Socialist Party (PSI) reflected state-led efforts to consolidate political authority within the framework of Guided Democracy. This research contributes to historical scholarship on center–region relations and the processes of political centralization in postcolonial state formation.
