Abstract

Scholarship on Muhammad Abduh commonly treats theological, educational, and political reform as separate domains. Consequently, the administrative dimension of his thought—how public authority should be constrained, organized, supervised, and oriented toward public welfare—remains insufficiently developed. This article reconstructs a conception of bureaucratic reform from Abduh's thought as a response to colonialism, authoritarian rule, elite domination, and institutional stagnation in nineteenth-century Egypt. It employs a qualitative-historical design combining conceptual analysis and contextual hermeneutics of Abduh's primary writings, al-Urwah al-Wuthqa, and scholarship on Islamic reform and public administration. The findings show that, although Abduh did not employ the contemporary term bureaucratic reform, his work contains an ethical-institutional architecture comprising six principles: law-bound civil authority, constitutional constraint, consultation and public accountability, differentiated yet coordinated state functions, administrative decentralization, professionalization through education and ijtihad, and legal adaptation to social change. The article proposes an Abduhian model of bureaucratic reform that links epistemic reform to institutional capacity and justice-oriented public service. Its theoretical contribution lies in connecting modern Islamic political thought with the literature on quality of government, while demonstrating that reform in Muslim-majority settings requires an integrated transformation of rules, competence, and administrative ethics.

Abstract

The Indonesian constitutional system adopts a presidential model that has undergone significant transformation following the amendments to the 1945 Constitution. While the constitutional reforms strengthened democratic institutions and the separation of powers, various governance challenges remain, including political oligarchy, weak public accountability, transactional politics, and declining public trust in political institutions. This study aims to analyze the relevance of the principles of syūrā, justice, and accountability in siyāsah syar‘iyyah to the implementation of Indonesia’s presidential system. This research employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, historical, and comparative approaches. The findings reveal that Indonesia's presidential system substantively reflects several principles of siyāsah syar‘iyyah, particularly deliberation, public participation, constitutional governance, and public welfare. However, practical implementation still encounters significant challenges in realizing justice, accountability, and public participation. This study proposes a reconstruction of democratic governance based on the integration of constitutional democracy and the values of siyāsah syar‘iyyah through strengthening public accountability, participatory governance, and ethical leadership. The integration of these principles contributes to the development of a democratic governance model that is both constitutionally legitimate and ethically grounded

Abstract

he transformation of learning through the Deep Learning approach requires Islamic Religious Education (IRE) to move beyond content mastery toward fostering students' religious moderation. This study aims to analyze and develop a conceptual model of adaptive Islamic Religious Education learning orchestration through a Deep Learning approach grounded in religious moderation in madrasahs. A descriptive qualitative design was employed. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. Data trustworthiness was ensured through source and method triangulation, member checking, and prolonged engagement. The findings reveal that adaptive IRE learning orchestration is constructed through four interrelated components: adaptive instructional planning, meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning interactions, the internalization of religious moderation through authentic learning experiences, and continuous adaptive assessment. The synthesis of these components resulted in an Adaptive Islamic Religious Education Learning Orchestration Model, positioning teachers as learning orchestrators who integrate instructional design, learning experiences, character development, and assessment into a coherent learning system. This model extends the Deep Learning perspective by embedding religious moderation as the core principle of adaptive and contextually relevant Islamic Religious Education in madrasahs.

Abstract

Corruption remains one of the most serious challenges to law enforcement and good governance in Indonesia, requiring effective institutional mechanisms to prevent and eradicate corrupt practices. This study aims to analyze the duties and functions of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi/KPK), examine the strategies employed by the KPK in handling corruption cases, and identify the obstacles encountered in carrying out its mandate. The research employs a normative juridical approach using statutory, conceptual, and literature review methods to analyze legal regulations and relevant legal doctrines concerning the KPK's authority. The findings indicate that the KPK plays a strategic role through preventive measures, investigation, inquiry, prosecution, coordination, supervision, and public education in combating corruption. However, the effectiveness of these functions is constrained by several factors, including political intervention, overlapping institutional authority, regulatory challenges, and resistance from parties with vested interests. These obstacles may reduce the effectiveness of corruption law enforcement despite the KPK's independent status. The study concludes that strengthening the KPK's institutional independence, enhancing coordination with other law enforcement agencies, and improving the legal framework are essential to ensuring more effective and sustainable corruption eradication efforts in Indonesia

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology into English language teaching has provided new means for interactive learning, but has also raised concerns about safeguarding learners' cultural identity and promoting all-round development. This research aims to investigate the impact of neo-humanistic teachings and local cultural values to the digital English language learning of primary school students. This research was conducted through a qualitative case study approach in public and private primary schools in Bali. The data were collected by semi-structured interviews, classroom observation and document study. The study revealed five main themes: (1) incorporating local culture into English education through traditional ceremonies, folklore, arts, and environmental contexts; (2) incorporating neo-humanistic values such as empathy, cooperation, respect, responsibility, and environmental awareness into classroom activities; (3) effective use of digital technologies; (4) students' holistic development to enhance language confidence, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and cultural identity; and (5) implementation challenges related to digital infrastructure, culturally relevant teaching resources, and teacher readiness. This research shows that the integration of neo-humanistic principles and local knowledge turns digital English language teaching into a full learning experience beyond the simple mastery of the language. The results have practical implications for educators, curriculum developers and policy makers interested in designing culturally responsive and technology-enhanced English language teaching in elementary education.

Abstract

Cyberchondria refers to excessive and repetitive online health information seeking that paradoxically amplifies concern about one’s own health. Mainstream literature positions health anxiety as its strongest predictor, yet evidence from non-Western digital native populations remains limited. This study examined the relationship of health anxiety and social media use intensity with cyberchondria among Generation Z. A quantitative correlational design was applied to 358 participants aged 15–28 years in an Indonesian metropolitan area, recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected using an adapted Cyberchondria Severity Scale, the Short Health Anxiety Inventory, and a social media use intensity scale based on Ellison’s aspects, with reliability coefficients of .923, .924, and .969 respectively. Data were analysed using Spearman’s rho correlation. Results showed that health anxiety was not significantly related to cyberchondria (rs = –.008; p = .880), whereas social media use intensity showed a significant positive relationship of moderate to strong magnitude (rs = .582; p < .001). Comparison of the two coefficients reveals the dominance of the external factor over the internal one. These findings indicate a shift in the entry point of the cyberchondria cycle among digital natives, from internal psychological vulnerability toward digital environmental exposure.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of multicultural communication implemented by the General Election Commission (KPU) of Tangerang Regency in the 2024 General Election socialization, identify community responses to its effectiveness, and map the obstacles encountered in a region with high ethnic and cultural diversity. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this research examines how adaptive communication strategies are employed to reach a heterogeneous society amidst challenges such as political literacy and potential polarization. The findings reveal that KPU implemented communication patterns capable of bridging differences in voters' cultural backgrounds through convergence strategies such as local language adjustments, interpersonal approaches, and segmenting communication media to increase public participation and maintain social stability during the democratic process, while utilizing divergence selectively for administrative clarity. Practically, this study serves as an evaluation for election organizers in designing more inclusive socialization models based on local wisdom in the future.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on Indonesia's tourism sector, which has long been one of the country's major sources of foreign exchange earnings. Restrictions on public mobility led to a substantial decline in tourist arrivals, hotel occupancy rates, and the overall activities of tourism-related businesses. In the post-pandemic era, the Indonesian government, together with various stakeholders, has undertaken efforts to revitalize the tourism sector by promoting high-quality and sustainable tourism development. One strategy considered to have considerable potential is the collaboration between the tourism sector and the creative industry. This article aims to analyze the role of the creative industry in supporting the recovery of Indonesia's tourism sector through a conceptual study approach. The research employs a literature review methodology by analyzing a wide range of scholarly publications, government documents, and statistical data related to the development of tourism and the creative economy in Indonesia. The findings indicate that the creative industry enhances the competitiveness of tourism destinations through product innovation, the adoption of digital technologies, strengthened destination branding, and the effective use of social media as a promotional platform. Furthermore, changes in tourist behavior following the pandemic have accelerated the emergence of experience-based tourism, hidden gem destinations, staycations, workcations, and sustainable tourism, further reinforcing the interconnection between the tourism sector and the creative economy. Therefore, cross-sector collaboration has become a key strategy for developing an adaptive, innovative, and sustainable tourism industry in Indonesia.

Abstract

Academic stress is almost always faced by students, both in Indonesia and globally, with impacts ranging from sleep pattern disruptions to decreased learning achievement. Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) is a widely used approach to deal with this condition, departing from the view that emotional disorders are not caused directly by events, but by individual beliefs in interpreting them. Comprehensive studies that link the basic concepts of REBT, the mechanism of ABCDE and empirical evidence  of irrational beliefs in students are still rare. This study analyzes the concept of REBT in explaining the formation of academic stress, identifies development opportunities and the relevance of its application in higher education and examines its intervention mechanisms. The research uses conceptual analysis with a literature method. The literature is searched from reputable scientific databases such as Google scholar, Frontiers, Elsevier etc. with the keywords Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and academic stress. The synthesis shows that the main source of academic stress itself, but also in students' irrational beliefs in the form of demandingness, awfulizing, low frustration tolerance, and self downing. The disputing process in the ABCDE method is a key mechanism for transforming beliefs into rational and adaptive, with stronger effectiveness when applied systematically by trained practitioners. REBT has great potential as a counseling guidance service in Indonesian universities to overcome academic stress from its cognitive roots, although empirical verification in Indonesian students is still needed.

Abstract

Members of the Tani Mandiri Farmers’ Group (Gapoktan) in LautTador Subdistrict, Batu Bara Regency, have received training and mentoring to maintain their Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification; however, several internal audit findings still indicate gaps in the implementation of best practices in the field. This study aims to examine the relationship between training and mentoring and farmers’ compliance scores with RSPO-based best practices in oil palm plantations, both individually and in combination. The research design was an explanatory survey of 79 farmers selected using proportionate stratified random sampling from among 377 certified members across five farmer groups. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The initial model yielded the equation Y = 4.545 + 0.936X1 + 0.270X2, with training (Beta = 0.573) and mentoring (Beta = 0.241) both showing positive and significant relationships with compliance scores (p < 0.01), and explaining 47.7% of the variance (F = 34.641; p < 0.001). Since the classical Glejser test indicated heteroscedasticity, these coefficients still need to be further confirmed using robust standard errors. These preliminary findings suggest that strengthening technical training and providing more regular on-site mentoring have the potential to support consistent compliance, although the cross-sectional design of this study cannot yet establish a causal relationship.
