Abstract

Objective: Analyze the strategic role of teachers in the implementation of multicultural education in vocational schools with a focus on SMKN 1 Talamau. The study highlights the role of teachers in the formation of the inclusive character and social competence of students. The results are directed at the formulation of contextual recommendations for the role of teachers. Theoretical framework: This research is based on the concept of multicultural education that emphasizes the management of diversity in learning. Teachers are positioned as strategic actors in building critical cultural awareness. Multicultural education is understood as part of the formation of character and work readiness of vocational school students. Literature review: The study of multicultural education is still dominated by the context of general and urban education. Studies on the role of teachers in vocational schools and regional schools are still limited. In addition, the role of teachers is generally studied descriptively and not yet strategically. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach with an analytical descriptive design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies at SMKN 1 Talamau. Data analysis is carried out thematically by ensuring validity through triangulation. Results: The results of the study show that the role of teachers as role models, facilitators, innovators, mediators, and reflective evaluators is the main pillar of multicultural education. Effective implementation occurs when multicultural values are integrated into the curriculum, learning, and school culture. This role contributes to strengthening students' inclusive character and social competence. Implications: The development of multicultural education in vocational schools requires the support of school policies, teacher competency improvement, and government regulations. The sustainability of implementation depends on cross-stakeholder collaboration. The sustainability of implementation depends on cross-stakeholder collaboration. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the analysis of the strategic and multidimensional role of teachers in the context of regional vocational schools. This study integrates multicultural education with vocational education as well as the needs of the world of work through contextual and adaptive conceptual models.

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze the concept of multicultural equality and justice in education, particularly from the perspective of Islamic education, as well as explain its implications for the formation of character education in a multicultural society. Theoretical framework: This research is based on the theory of multicultural education (Banks and Nieto), the theory of social and distributive justice, and the value of Islamic education that emphasizes al-'adl (justice) and al-musāwah (equality). Literature review: The literature review examines studies on multicultural education, social justice, and Islamic education, and shows that there is still limited research that integrates multicultural equality and justice within the framework of Islamic education. Methods: The research uses a qualitative approach through a literature study of books, journal articles, and education policy documents, with content analysis and conceptual synthesis. Results: The results of the study show that equality in Islamic education is interpreted as recognition of equal human dignity, while justice is understood as the provision of rights and opportunities for learning proportionally. The integration of these two principles in multicultural education contributes significantly to the formation of the character of students who are tolerant, fair, and responsible. Implications: Theoretically, this study enriches the study of Islamic-based multicultural education; practically, it becomes the basis for the development of an equity- and justice-oriented curriculum, learning, and school culture. Novelty: The novelty of the research lies in the systematic integration of the concept of multicultural equality and justice with character education from the perspective of Islamic education.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to critically examine how the representation of sexual violence against women is constructed in the film Woman from the Rote Island through the analysis of denotative, connotative, and mythological meanings. The main focus is to reveal the social messages, ideologies, and positions of women in patriarchal power relations represented by cinema. Thus, the research is directed to assess the role of film as a medium of social criticism and shaping public awareness. Theoretical framework: This study uses Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, which emphasizes the meaning of denotation, connotation, and myth. This framework is used to read signs and symbols in movies. With this approach, patriarchal ideology can be critically analyzed. Literature review: A literature review discusses research on women's representation and sexual violence in film media. Previous studies have shown that movies can reinforce or challenge patriarchal values. This literature became the basis for placing film as part of social discourse. Methods: The method used is qualitative descriptive with semiotic analysis. Data is obtained from scenes, dialogue, and visual symbols in the film. The analysis was carried out by relating the findings to three levels of Barthes' meaning. Results: The results of the study show that films represent women as victims of physical, psychological, and social violence, as well as subjects who have courage and moral strength. On a connotative and mythological level, the film deconstructs the myth of women's honor shaped by patriarchy. The film's narrative emphasizes that sexual violence is a violation of humanity, not a disgrace to the victim. Implications: This study shows that film can be a medium of education and social criticism. These findings encourage the use of cinema to increase empathy and awareness about women's rights. Another implication is the strengthening of the discourse on gender equality in the public space. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the use of Barthes' semiotics to read the issue of sexual violence in Indonesian films. The study emphasizes women not only as victims, but also as agents of symbolic resistance. Thus, film is understood as a tool for cultural change.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the guarantee of women's rights in Islam with a focus on education and gender equality. This study distinguishes Islamic normative teachings from social practices influenced by patriarchal culture. The goal is to build a contextual understanding that is gender-correct. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework rests on the principles of justice ('adl) and benefit (maṣlaḥah) in Islam. Gender equality is understood as equality of dignity and responsibility, not absolute equal roles. Education is positioned as an instrument of social justice. Literature review:  women's studies in Islam are dominated by normative-theological approaches and patriarchal critiques. However, the integration of Islamic education and gender equality is still limited. This research fills the gap integratively and contextually. Methods: The research uses qualitative methods with descriptive-analytical and normative-conceptual approaches. Data was obtained through literature studies from the Qur'an, Hadith, tafsir, and scientific articles. The analysis was carried out thematically. Results: The results of the study affirm that Islam guarantees women's rights, including education and social roles, without discrimination. The inequality that occurs stems from biased interpretations and patriarchal culture. Gender equality is based on justice and benefits. Implications: The findings underscore the urgency of Islamic education from a gender justice perspective. Practically, these results are relevant for the development of an inclusive Islamic curriculum and discourse. Theoretically, this study enriches the study of Islam and gender. Novelty: The novelty of research lies in the contextual integration of women's rights, education, and gender equality. This study affirms Islamic normativity while criticizing distorted social practices. This framework offers an applicable understanding.

Abstract

Objective: The principle of "Lā ikrāha fī al-dīn" as the constitutional basis of religious freedom of minorities in Muslim-majority countries. The study is directed at the alignment of Islamic normative values with modern constitutionalism. This formulation is aimed at strengthening the guarantee of equal and non-discriminatory religious freedom. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of the research integrates normative Islamic theology, maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, human rights theory, and modern constitutionalism. The principle of "Lā ikrāha fī al-dīn" is positioned as the basic norm of religious freedom. This framework is a tool for analyzing the relationship between Islamic values and constitutional law. Literature review: Previous studies of religious freedom in Islam have generally been theological and historical. Constitutional studies emphasize the perspective of universal human rights and are rarely associated with Qur'anic principles. The dominance of classical fiqh heritage still limits the recognition of citizenship equality. Methods: This study uses a qualitative method with normative and conceptual legal approaches. The techniques used include thematic interpretation of the Qur'an, philosophical-legal analysis, and comparative constitutional studies. The data was analyzed interpretively and argumentatively. Results: The analysis shows that the principle of "Lā ikrāha fī al-dīn" is in line with international standards of religious freedom. This principle has the potential to become a constitutional norm limiting the coercive power of the state. The main obstacle is the interpretation of classical jurisprudence and the ambivalent formulation of the constitution. Implications: Theoretically, this article strengthens the development of equality-based constitutional Islamic law. In practical terms, these findings are relevant for the formulation of inclusive constitutional policies and clauses. The principle of non-coercion can increase the protection of the rights of religious minorities. Novelty: The novelty of the research lies in the placement of "Lā ikrāha fī al-dīn" as an operational constitutional norm. This article integrates Islamic theology, maqāṣid al-sharī'ah, and modern constitutionalism. This approach goes beyond tolerance towards the recognition of citizenship equality.

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze the concept of gender consciousness from an Islamic perspective and its relevance in contemporary society. This study focuses on the principles of justice, spiritual equality, and complementary gender roles. The ultimate goal is to formulate a moderate, contextual, and applicable framework for Islamic gender consciousness. Theoretical framework: This research uses the framework of Islamic justice and spiritual equality. The analysis is supported by maqashid al shariah and the thought of contemporary scholars. This framework emphasizes the balance of gender rights and responsibilities. Literature review: Previous studies have shown diverse views on Islam and gender. Gender inequality is often associated with patriarchal culture and interpretations. However, contextual synthesis studies are still limited. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies. Data are obtained from the Quran, Hadith, and the latest academic literature. The analysis is carried out through content and thematic analysis. Results: The results of the study show that Islamic gender awareness is based on proportional justice, not absolute equality. Gender inequality in social practice is more influenced by cultural factors and ahistorical interpretations. Moderate Islamic gender awareness has proven to be relevant for maintaining social balance and harmony in society. Implications: These findings have implications for strengthening education and gender-fair policies. Islamic gender awareness can prevent discrimination and extremism. This approach supports social harmony. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in the synthesis of Islamic values and modern gender issues. This article offers a moderate Islamic gender awareness concept. This approach is both applicable and contextual.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the meaning and implications of multicultural education in Indonesia and to formulate context-based development strategies that are compatible with the nation’s unique socio-cultural, religious, and ideological characteristics. Indonesia’s extreme diversity, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and religious, makes multicultural education not merely an option but a structural necessity for sustaining social cohesion and national integrity. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research integrates modern multicultural education theory, particularly James A. Banks’ five dimensions of multicultural education, with Islamic normative values such as ta‘āruf (mutual recognition), tasāmuḥ (tolerance), ‘adl (justice), and ukhuwah insāniyyah (human fraternity). This integrative framework positions Islam as a source of inclusive social ethics rather than an exclusive identity. Literature review: The literature review reveals that existing studies largely treat multicultural education either from a secular pedagogical perspective or from a normative religious approach, often without sufficient contextual adaptation to Indonesia’s plural yet Muslim-majority setting. This study addresses that gap by synthesizing multicultural theory, Islamic theology, and Indonesian socio-political realities. Methods: The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical design based on library research, analyzing academic literature, policy documents, national regulations, empirical reports, and Islamic primary sources. Data were examined using interactive analysis involving data reduction, thematic categorization, interpretation, and triangulation of sources and theories. Results: The findings demonstrate that multicultural education in Indonesia must be understood as a transformative educational process rather than mere tolerance instruction. Effective implementation requires integration across curricular, pedagogical, institutional, and digital dimensions. The study proposes context-based development models, including localized curricula, multicultural teacher training, inclusive school cultures, and digital literacy strategies to counter identity-based intolerance. Implications: The implications of this research are both theoretical and practical. Theoretically, it enriches Islamic education scholarship by demonstrating that multiculturalism is deeply rooted in Islamic theology. Practically, it offers policy-relevant recommendations for curriculum design, teacher education, and institutional governance. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its integrative and contextualized model that bridges universal multicultural values, Islamic ethical principles, and Indonesia’s national ideology, positioning multicultural education as a strategic instrument for social justice, national unity, and sustainable peace.

Abstract

Objective: Human Rights (HAM) is a fundamental issue in the global discourse that is closely related to respect for human dignity. In the Islamic tradition, the concept of human rights is not a new idea, but has been rooted theologically and philosophically in the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah. This research aims to analyze the concept of human rights in Islam, examine its epistemological differences with secular human rights paradigms, and evaluate its relevance and application in the context of contemporary society characterized by democracy, pluralism, and the demand for socio-economic justice. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this research rests on the principles of monotheism, justice ('adl), and amanah as the foundation of Islamic human rights ethics, which is analyzed through the approach of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah as a contextual interpretive instrument. Literature review: A literature review shows that Islamic human rights studies have tended to be normative-textual or limited to comparison with Western human rights, thus emphasizing less emphasis on the applicative and transformational dimensions in modern life. Methods: This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach, by analyzing Islamic normative sources, contemporary Islamic thought, and modern human rights discourse critically and thematically. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically to find conceptual patterns and the practical relevance of Islamic human rights. Results: The results of the study show that human rights in Islam are theocentric, placing Allah as the source of legitimacy of rights, while at the same time emphasizing the balance between human rights and obligations. Implications: The application of Islamic human rights in contemporary society requires the reinterpretation of religious texts based on maqāṣid al-syarī'ah to be in line with the values of justice, religious freedom, gender equality, socio-economic rights, and environmental protection. Novelty: this research lies in the affirmation of Islamic human rights as an adaptive and comprehensive ethical-religious framework, not just an alternative to Western human rights. The implications of this research are theoretical and practical, namely, strengthening Islam's position in the global human rights discourse and providing a normative foundation for the development of public policies, education, and social practices oriented towards contextually respecting human dignity.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the role of duʾāʾ maʾthūr as a spiritual instrument that contributes to economic stability and social well-being through the perspective of ḥadīth and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah al-Syāṭibī theory to understand the normative meaning and purpose of sharia in prayer. Literature review: A literature review examines the concept of duʾāʾ maʾthūr, al-Syāṭibī's thought, and Islamic economic ethics that emphasize character formation and social responsibility. Methods: This research is qualitative with the library research method, using secondary data that are analyzed descriptively and deductively. Results: The results of the study show that duʾāʾ maʾthūr has strategic significance in building holistic economic stability. From the perspective of the ḥadīth, the prayer emphasizes the interconnectedness of the spiritual, moral, psychological, and social dimensions, including the plea for protection from poverty, deprivation, and humiliation. From the perspective of al-Syāṭibī, the prayer functions as a normative wasāʾil that harmonizes human efforts with tawakkul, directs the search for sustenance to the halal aspect, and strengthens individual responsibility in the management of wealth. Thus, prayer plays a role as a preventive instrument against economic damage and social dependence. Implications: Prayer is understood as a preventive and transformative instrument in building an ethical, stable, and sustainable economy. Novelty: The novelty of the research lies in the integration of CDA and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah in positioning prayer as an economic normative instrument, rather than simply a spiritual practice.
