Abstract

The formation of cultural communication messages, the meanings and symbols ingrained in the Dabus culture, the rituals used to transmit cultural messages, and the parallels and discrepancies between Ternate and Tidore are all examined in this study. The study investigates the subjective experiences of Dabus performers and participants using a qualitative phenomenological approach, emphasizing processes, motives, and messages. Purposive sampling was used to choose informants based on their involvement, competence, and experience. Observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis were used to gather data, which was then inductively evaluated to find new meaning patterns. The results demonstrate how ritual symbols, social contact, and group involvement are used in the Dabus tradition to generate cultural communication messages that reflect religious, social, and historical significance. Through ceremonial phases and group activities, the tradition serves as a vehicle for the symbolic communication of religious ideals, bravery, social unity, and collective identity. While the ritual's role as a symbolic medium for communicating religious beliefs and social unity is comparable in all locations, the focus on meaning and symbolic orientation is different.

Abstract

The phenomenon of increasing individualism among the younger generation, lack of moral education and empathy, negative media influence, social pressure, and lack of prosocial role models are factors that contribute to the weakening of social behavior among today's youth. However, a different situation is seen among young people who are active in the Islamic cultural arts of Syarafal Anam in Bengkulu, who exhibit more positive social behavior patterns. This study aims to understand the dynamics of prosocial attitudes among adolescents and local cultural values in the practice of Syarafal Anam's integrative Da’wah. The study uses a qualitative approach with an interpretive paradigm. Data were collected through literature studies, surveys, observations, and in-depth interviews. The results show that Syarafal Anam revives the principle of dakẖwah bil ḥal, which is preaching through concrete actions that foster ukhuwah (brotherhood) and social solidarity. This activity has been proven to have a positive influence on increasing prosocial behavior among adolescents and strengthening the social and religious life of the community. Syarafal Anam also functions as a means of social learning that instills the values of mutual cooperation, shared responsibility, and character building for the younger generation. Thus, the integrative Da’wah strategy through Syarafal Anam contributes significantly to optimizing the formation of prosocial behavior among adolescents in Bengkulu.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the emotional experiences, social adjustment, and coping strategies of domestic migrant students in Bengkulu who experience homesickness and insecurity during their adaptation process in higher education. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews and observations involving undergraduate students from semesters 2 to 6. The findings indicate that domestic migrant students commonly experience emotional challenges in the early stages of adaptation, including loneliness, anxiety, reduced self-confidence, and feelings of social isolation. These challenges are primarily influenced by environmental transitions, cultural and linguistic differences, and the demands of independent living in a new social context. Despite these difficulties, students gradually develop adaptive coping strategies through peer interaction, social support systems, and both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping mechanisms. The results further show that self-efficacy plays a supportive role in helping students regulate psychological stress, although it is not the sole determining factor in overcoming homesickness. Strong social support networks and effective coping strategies are found to be more dominant in facilitating successful adaptation. Overall, the study highlights the importance of strengthening social support systems and psychological resilience to improve the well-being and adjustment of domestic migrant students in higher education settings.

Abstract

The rise of AI has significantly transformed the political landscape and process, presenting a dichotomy that can facilitate and jeopardize the electoral process. This study qualitatively explored the emergence of AI in political campaigns during the Indonesian Presidential Election 2024. Using digital ethnography, including interviews with social media users and partisans of diverse profiles, as well as offline and online content analysis observations of GenAI campaign material, this article discusses the Indonesian political landscape, AI use in campaigns to construct new identities, and reflections on digital democracy in Indonesia. AI use by presidential candidates has shaped identities and led to different public responses between text-based and image-based GenAI. Support and rejection are forms of public participation facilitated by digital media. Digital activism #TolakGambarAI (#RejectAIImage) encourages specific regulations for AI use in election campaigns. Advancements in AI and digital media present future democratic challenges to realize a healthy and fair democratic culture.

Abstract

The Mandalika Special Economic Zone is a new development area for the tourism sector, facing complex challenges in the form of social transformation between technocratic and hegemonic interests, and the agency of the Sasak indigenous community amidst resistance. The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamics of communicative interactions between actors and their impact on the quality of participation. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study, conducting in-depth interviews with 12 key informants. The findings demonstrate how the linear communication model implemented in Mandalika has largely failed. This study demonstrates the existence of "reactive participation," a high level of citizen involvement that appears to be a form of countermeasure against information injustice and economic exclusion. The practice of "post-fact information" has been shown to trigger a crisis of social legitimacy, resulting in citizen participation being associated with unfavorable perceptions of development success. This article contributes to theory by developing the Dialectical Communication Justice Model, which urges a redistribution of communicative power. Concrete recommendations include recognizing local cultural capital, such as sangkep beleq, in more formal decision-making systems. This research suggests that solutions exist; and the transformation towards a deliberative-transformative model is an inevitable prerequisite for global investment to be responsive to local community sovereignty, thus ensuring sustainable tourism.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of participatory da'wah (Islamic outreach) based on the majelis taklim (Islamic study groups) as a catalyst for social transformation of Muslim families in Mandailing Natal Regency. The study used a qualitative approach with a multiple case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies at several active majelis taklim (Islamic study groups). Data were then analyzed using thematic and cross-case analysis. The results show that the majelis taklim developed a participatory da'wah model through da'wah bil-lisan (oral da'wah), da'wah bil-hal (oral da'wah), family economic empowerment programs, and the use of digital media. Active member participation was a key factor in the program's success. The resulting social transformation encompassed religious dimensions, family education, and family economics. A total of 91.2% of respondents experienced an increase in the quality of family worship, 78.6% experienced changes in parenting patterns to be more Islamic, and 64.3% experienced economic improvements through skills and entrepreneurship programs. This success was supported by strong social capital, support from religious and traditional leaders, and the cultural values ​​of Dalihan Na Tolu. This research produces the concept of Community-Based Participatory Da'wah (DPBK) as a da'wah model that integrates Islamic values, community empowerment, social capital, and local wisdom in encouraging social transformation of Muslim families.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the concept of sakinah family in the perspective of hablum minallah and hablum minannas. Sakinah family is a family that is able to create a peaceful, dynamic, and active atmosphere, with harmonious and loving relationships among family members. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with secondary data sources from international journal articles, online media, and books. The results show that hablum minallah and hablum minannas play an important role in building a sakinah family. Hablum minallah can be done by strengthening the foundation of faith and piety, performing worship regularly, and increasing prayers. Meanwhile, hablum minannas can be achieved by maintaining good relationships with spouses, parents, siblings, and relatives, as well as treating family members with love and respect. The integration of hablum minallah and hablum minannas can enhance family harmony and shape positive values among family members. The implications of this research show that applying the principle of hablum minallah through strengthening faith, regular worship, and prayer can be the main foundation for married couples to build a harmonious sakinah family. In addition, integration with hablum minannas through loving and respectful relationships between family members can create sustainable positive values, so it can be recommended as a practical guide in marriage counseling and family education in Muslim communities. This paper offers an integrative approach that emphasizes the balance between the spiritual dimension (hablum minallah) and the social dimension (hablum minannas) as the primary foundation for building a harmonious family. Its novelty lies in a conceptual synthesis that links personal religious practices with the ethics of family relationships in a practical way within the context of modern life.

Abstract

Vocational high schools are expected to supply work-ready graduates, yet many programmes still struggle to translate technical competence into workplace performance, especially in communication-intensive tasks such as customer needs analysis, teamwork coordination, reporting, and quality-related documentation. Teaching Factory (TeFa) has been promoted in Indonesia as a production-based learning approach that simulates or delivers real industry orders within a school environment. However, TeFa initiatives frequently prioritise output volume and technical procedures, while employability skills are treated as implicit by-products rather than explicit learning targets that are taught, practiced, and assessed. This article proposes an Integrative Teaching Factory-Industry Model (iTeFIM) that embeds structured communication and employability competencies into the end-to-end TeFa production/service cycle, supported by governance, industry partnership mechanisms, and competency-based assessment. Using an integrative literature review, policy analysis, and design-synthesis methods, we develop a logic model, implementation roadmap, and assessment toolkit aligning (i) work-based learning principles, (ii) employability competency rubrics, and (iii) Indonesian vocational governance and TeFa policy directions. The model positions communication as a core operational capability across six learning-production stages: order intake, planning, execution, quality assurance, delivery, and after-sales reflection. We discuss design implications for school-industry collaboration, teacher and instructor roles, learning analytics, and continuous improvement using CIPP-informed monitoring. The article contributes a practical, assessment-ready framework that can be adapted across vocational programmes to strengthen graduates’ readiness for employment and career mobility

Abstract

This article aims to formulate a pragmatism-based curriculum reorientation model for Islamic education that integrates Islamic values with relevance to the world of work. The study is motivated by the challenge faced by Islamic education in preserving its normative-spiritual foundation while responding to socio-economic change, technological development, and the competency demands of the twenty-first century. This research employs library research with a conceptual study design. The data sources consist of Sinta 1-2 journal articles, Scopus-indexed articles from the last six years, primary books, and government policy documents relevant to education, curriculum, and employment. The data were analyzed through conceptual content analysis involving concept identification, thematic categorization, relational analysis, and constructive synthesis. The findings indicate that pragmatism can be positioned as a pedagogical-curricular approach in Islamic education, rather than as a theological foundation. Islamic values such as tawhid, amanah, ihsan, adab, akhlaq, justice, and maslahah function as the normative foundation that directs learning experiences, competency development, and relevance to the world of work. This article proposes a Pragmatic-Islamic Curriculum Reorientation Model structured around Islamic values, learning experiences, competencies, relevance to the world of work, and social welfare. The model affirms that the world of work is not the ultimate aim of Islamic education, but rather a space for actualizing values, professional ethos, integrity, and social contribution. The article contributes to the development of Islamic educational philosophy and to the design of curricula that are contextual, applicable, and relevant to contemporary needs without reducing Islamic education to an instrument of the labor market. Keywords: Islamic Education; Pragmatism; Curriculum Reorientation; Relevance to the World of Work.

Abstract

International labour migration may improve household economies while simultaneously intensifying emotional distance, role reconfiguration, and marital vulnerability within migrant worker families. Although studies on transnational families have documented these pressures, less attention has been paid to how village-based initiatives mediate family resilience in migrant-sending communities. This article examines the Gembok Katresnan Program in Bringinan Village, Ponorogo, Indonesia, as a community-based initiative that supports family resilience among Indonesian migrant worker families. The study employs a qualitative case study design drawing on in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. Guided by the Family Resilience Framework and informed by perspectives on transnational care and community support, the study explores how commitment, communication, caregiving, and social support are negotiated across borders. The findings suggest that the program operates through three interrelated processes: the public reinforcement of marital commitment, the continuity of care and communication across distance, and village-based support across the migration cycle. Read through an Islamic psychology lens, resilience is further illuminated through meanings of amanah, sabr, ikhtiar, and relational responsibility. The article argues that family resilience in transnational migrant households is not produced solely within the private sphere of the family but is co-constructed through locally embedded support systems that organize care across borders.
