Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Indonesia plays an important role in shaping the character and identity of the younger generation. However, along with the rapid development of globalization, technological advances, and social diversity, the current PAI curriculum is considered unable to answer these challenges effectively. Therefore, an adaptive and inclusive PAI curriculum reformulation is needed to meet the needs of education that is relevant to the times. This study aims to explore and analyze how the reformulation of the PAI curriculum that is responsive to changes in the times and the diversity of students can improve the quality of religious education in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and literature study method, this study explores the concepts and principles of curriculum reformulation that focus on the integration of the values of moderation, tolerance, and character in Islamic religious education. The results of the study indicate that the reformulation of the PAI curriculum needs to involve a more inclusive approach, pay attention to different learning styles, and utilize technology to make learning more interactive and interesting. In addition, the PAI curriculum must prioritize character education that not only teaches religious teachings, but also instils positive attitudes and behaviours in everyday life. This reformulation must also involve active participation from various parties, such as educators, parents, and the community, to produce a more comprehensive curriculum that is in accordance with students' needs. Thus, an adaptive and inclusive Islamic Religious Education curriculum is expected to be able to create a young generation that is not only academically intelligent, but also has good morals, has relevant life skills, and is able to face global challenges with a moderate, tolerant attitude, and respects diversity.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an innovative Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum model to improve religious understanding in schools. The research method used is a literature review by analyzing various literatures, scholarly articles, books, and documents related to the PAI curriculum and learning innovations.

This model also emphasizes the importance of integrating Islamic values with 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving. The research results indicate that the implementation of an innovative curriculum has the potential to enhance students' understanding of Islamic teachings and their application in daily life. Thus, this study provides a theoretical foundation for developing an PAI curriculum that is relevant to the needs of learners and the challenges of the times. This model is expected to serve as a reference for educators and policymakers to improve the quality of PAI learning in schools

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in fostering religious tolerance in multicultural school environments. This study aims to analyze the role of the PAI curriculum in instilling tolerance values and exploring the methods and approaches used in teaching. A qualitative approach with a case study design was applied in a secondary school with religious diversity. The findings indicate that the PAI curriculum supports the development of tolerance attitudes through the integration of universal values, such as respect for differences, empathy, and cooperation, into the teaching materials. Dialogical approaches and interaction-based experiential learning proved effective in enhancing students' understanding of diversity. However, challenges such as insufficient teacher training in managing tolerance-based curricula and resistance from some students toward interfaith discussions remain. The PAI curriculum can effectively build religious tolerance in schools if supported by adequate teacher training, relevant teaching modules, and synergy among teachers, students, and parents. Recommendations include developing intensive training programs and enhancing the curriculum with a focus on tolerance values.

Abstract

The development of children's character is a fundamental aspect in shaping a morally upright and high-quality generation. The family, particularly the role of housewives, serves as the primary and most influential environment in instilling character values from an early age. This study aims to explore the role of housewives in nurturing children's character values in the community of Suka Makmur Village, Binjai. It also seeks to identify the types of values taught, the methods applied, and the challenges faced by these mothers. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving local housewives. The findings indicate that mothers play a significant role in cultivating values such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and politeness through role modeling, daily habituation, and emotional communication. Mothers' consistent behaviors, such as being honest and responsible in daily life, provide a practical example for children. Establishing structured routines contributes to the formation of discipline, while affectionate and respectful communication fosters politeness. These findings align with several educational theories including Bandura’s social learning theory, Vygotsky’s constructivism, and Lickona’s character education. In conclusion, housewives act not only as caregivers but also as primary educators in shaping children’s personalities. Therefore, collaborative support is necessary to strengthen the role of mothers in family-based character education.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of dance studios (sanggar tari) in preserving traditional arts amid the challenges of modernization. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that traditional arts possess aesthetic value, spirituality, and play a significant social role in shaping cultural identity. However, modernization presents major challenges such as shifting values, identity crises among the younger generation, and the dominance of popular culture. In this context, dance studios serve as non-formal educational institutions that not only teach technical skills but also instill values of character, tolerance, and social responsibility. The studios act as cultural preservation centers by fostering youth, organizing performances, collaborating with the government, and innovating learning methods. Measures such as integrating traditional dance into local curricula, utilizing digital media, and government support are key factors in the successful preservation of traditional arts. Dance studios also provide inclusive spaces that promote intercultural social interaction while strengthening community bonds. Thus, dance studios hold great potential as agents of traditional art preservation and character building in the era of globalization. This study recommends increased and integrated support to ensure the sustainability of studios as guardians of local culture amidst the currents of modernization.

Abstract

Parenting style plays a crucial role in shaping a child's personality and selfconfidence from an early age. Self-confidence is a key psychological aspect needed for successful social interaction, especially for university students who are increasingly exposed to broader social environments. Students in Rambung Dalam, Binjai Selatan, come from diverse family backgrounds, which results in varied parenting styles and levels of self-confidence. This study aims to analyze how parenting styles influence students' self-confidence in their social interactions within the community. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation involving students residing in Rambung Dalam who have experienced different forms of parental upbringing. The participants were selected purposively based on specific criteria, such as living with their parents or having a clear history of parental involvement. The findings reveal that students raised in a democratic parenting environment tend to have higher self-confidence. They communicate effectively, participate actively in social activities, and are not afraid to express their opinions. In contrast, students who were raised with an authoritarian parenting style often exhibit passive behavior, self-doubt, and social withdrawal. Meanwhile, those who experienced permissive parenting tend to have unstable self-confidence, especially when faced with social pressures or responsibilities. The study concludes that parenting style significantly affects the development of students’ self-confidence. A supportive, communicative, and balanced parenting style is essential in fostering confident individuals who can engage in healthy social interactions within the community. These findings highlight the importance of proper parenting in shaping young adults who are self-assured, socially adaptable, and capable of contributing positively to society.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to explore and describe in depth the role of housewives in supporting their children’s education within this community, including the forms of support they provide, the obstacles they face, and the strategies they employ to overcome those challenges. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected purposively, specifically housewives who are actively involved in their children’s education, both at home and in the surrounding environment. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that housewives make significant contributions to their children’s education, both academically such as assisting with studying, helping with school assignments, and maintaining communication with teachers and non-academically, such as providing emotional support and shaping moral character. Values such as honesty, responsibility, and discipline are instilled through role modeling and intensive communication. Despite facing challenges such as limited time, knowledge, and learning facilities, these mothers actively seek solutions through discussions with teachers, parenting workshops, and peer support groups. In conclusion, housewives play a strategic role in holistically supporting their children’s education. Therefore, it is essential to enhance their capacity and awareness in fulfilling this role to foster a synergistic educational environment between home and school.
