Abstract

This study aims to critically examine the ecological reputation crisis following a landslide disaster and land-clearing activities, focusing on the failure of defensive reputation management, power asymmetries, and the development of an alternative reputation management model. This study employed a critical qualitative case study design, with data collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that defensive corporate reputation strategies were ineffective in restoring legitimacy due to regulatory violations, polarized digital discourse, and distorted communication practices. Furthermore, instrumental communication that disregarded the four validity claims of communicative action theory intensified public distrust and widened the gap between corporate interests and community expectations. In response, the study formulates an Open Sustainable Tourism-Based Reputation Management Model that integrates discourse ethics, inclusive deliberation, regulatory compliance, and ecological accountability. The model implies that sustainable reputation management requires organizations to move beyond defensive communication toward transparent, participatory, and ethically grounded engagement. These findings contribute to crisis communication and sustainable tourism management by providing an alternative framework for reconciling tourism investment, corporate legitimacy, public trust, and ecological sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of isti’arah (metaphor) in Surah Al-Taubah through a comparative analysis of Tafsir Al-Kasyaf by Al-Zamakhsyari and Tafsir Al-Munir by Wahbah Al-Zuhaili. The study focuses on identifying the types of isti’arah, examining their semantic implications, and comparing the interpretive approaches employed by both mufassir. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive-analytic design using library research. Data were collected from the two tafsir works as primary sources and supported by classical and contemporary literature on Arabic rhetoric balaghah. Data were analyzed through content analysis and comparative analysis. The findings reveal 19 verses containing isti’arah in Surah Al-Taubah, classified into three types: tasrihiyyah, taba’iyyah, and lathaiful isti’arah. The analysis of QS. Al-Taubah: 5 and 32 indicates that Al-Zamakhsyari emphasizes historical-linguistic interpretation and lexical comparison, whereas Al-Zuhaili provides a more systematic explanation with greater attention to contemporary relevance. The findings imply that integrating both approaches strengthens comparative Qur'anic interpretation and provides a more comprehensive understanding of the Qur'an's linguistic and rhetorical dimensions.

Abstract

Educational inequality persists despite digital transformation, where access, capacity, and technological readiness remain uneven. Educational Technology offers opportunities to expand participation, personalize learning, and support inclusive education within Smart Society 5.0. This study aims to develop a framework explaining how Educational Technology can reduce educational inequality. A descriptive qualitative design using an Analytical Literature Review was employed. Literature from eight databases published between 2021 and 2026 was screened, evaluated, thematically coded, and synthesized. The findings show that Educational Technology expands access and learning flexibility across geographical and socioeconomic barriers. Artificial intelligence and adaptive systems support personalized learning pathways. Learning analytics and assistive technologies strengthen monitoring, accessibility, and learner autonomy. However, infrastructure gaps, digital literacy disparities, limited teacher competence, and fragmented policies constrain equitable implementation. The study identifies teachers as facilitators of technology-enhanced inclusion. Its novelty is a framework integrating equitable digital infrastructure, continuous digital literacy, future-oriented curriculum innovation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The framework advances theory by positioning educational equity as the core outcome of digital transformation. Practically, it guides policymakers and institutions in designing sustainable, inclusive, resilient technology-enabled education systems.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of the university within Islamic educational thought and its relationship to the aims of Islamic education. It aims to reformulate the orientation of the Islamic university through the concepts of adab, taʾdīb, and the unity of knowledge within a coherent tawḥīdic worldview. This qualitative library research employs a historical-philosophical approach combined with critical-hermeneutic analysis of foundational works and recent scholarly articles. Data were analyzed through the reconstruction of the genealogy of Islamic educational institutions, epistemological interpretation of knowledge and adab, and critical evaluation of the modern university. The findings indicate that mosques, kuttāb, madrasahs, and major centers of Islamic learning historically developed within an integrated conception of knowledge that connected intellectual learning, ethical formation, and devotion to Allah. In contrast, the crisis of the modern university involves not only disciplinary fragmentation but also the loss of adab, reflected in confusion regarding the proper hierarchy of knowledge, human beings, and reality. The study implies that Islamic universities should function as institutions of taʾdīb that cultivate professionally competent, morally responsible, civilization-oriented graduates and produce knowledge grounded in a tawḥīdic worldview.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a conceptual understanding of strategies for strengthening the financial performance of educational institutions through the integration of financial management, good governance, internal control, human resource competencies, technology utilization, revenue diversification, and financial sustainability. The study employed a literature review approach by synthesizing relevant scholarly literature on educational financial management, governance, accountability, internal control, efficiency, digitalization, revenue diversification, asset optimization, and financial sustainability. The findings indicate that strengthening financial performance requires an integrated managerial process. Leadership capacity, good governance, human resource competence, technology, and organizational culture serve as foundational factors influencing financial planning, budgeting, control, revenue diversification, asset optimization, and evaluation. Their integration contributes to improved efficiency, transparency, accountability, financial health, and institutional resilience. The study proposes an Input–Process–Output–Outcome conceptual framework that positions financial performance as an integral component of institutional sustainability rather than merely a financial objective. This framework provides a basis for educational leaders and policymakers to develop more accountable, efficient, adaptive, and sustainable financial management strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges and opportunities in implementing differentiated learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah during the era of disruption and to identify technological innovations that can support personalized learning. This study employed a qualitative research design using a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 teachers, classroom observations, and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns related to the implementation of differentiated learning, challenges encountered by teachers, and opportunities for technological integration. The findings reveal several major challenges, including limited teacher competencies, inadequate technological infrastructure, time constraints, and large class sizes. Despite these challenges, significant opportunities exist through digital transformation, the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, and the use of collaborative digital learning platforms. These developments can facilitate more flexible, personalized, and student-centered learning practices. The study implies that successful implementation of differentiated learning requires strengthening teacher competencies, improving digital infrastructure, providing adequate institutional support, and integrating technology strategically. Policy support and continuous professional development are essential for creating sustainable conditions for student-centered education in diverse classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze consumerism in contemporary popular culture and critically examine consumption practices through Qur’anic ethical principles, particularly wasatiyyah, and the prohibition of isrāf and tabżīr. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design using field and library approaches. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with religious leaders and Muslim consumers, observations of contemporary consumption practices, and documentation of Qur’anic texts, interpretations, and relevant scholarly literature. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and verification to identify recurring patterns of consumption and their relationship with Qur’anic ethical values. The findings show that popular culture contributes to normalizing excessive consumption by encouraging pleasure-oriented consumption, social recognition, lifestyle presentation, and material-based self-image. Consumption practices were frequently associated with identity construction and social validation rather than functional needs. These patterns indicate tensions between contemporary consumer culture and Qur’anic principles of moderation, self-control, and responsible consumption. The study highlights the importance of reactivating Qur’anic ethical values in religious education, public discourse, and digital spaces to promote more balanced, conscious, and socially responsible consumption practices.

Abstract

The digital transformation of education requires teachers to possess adequate digital literacy competencies to adapt to technological changes in the learning process. Low digital literacy competence can hinder teachers' readiness to implement various digital-based educational innovations. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital literacy competence on teachers' readiness to adapt to the digital transformation of education. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The sample consisted of 50 teachers from Elementary School X, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected via a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The results indicate that teachers' digital literacy competence falls into the high category (mean score: 30.50), as does their readiness to adapt to the digital transformation of education (mean score: 31.08). Regression analysis reveals that digital literacy competence has a positive and significant effect on teacher readiness (β = 0.875; t = 12.516; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.765 indicates that digital literacy competence contributes 76.5% to teachers' readiness to adapt to the digital transformation of education. These findings confirm that strengthening digital literacy competence is a crucial strategy for enhancing teacher readiness and supporting the successful implementation of digital transformation in schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine disparities in educational quality across different types of educational services, including public schools, madrasas, religious education, equivalency education, and special schools, using comparable indicators across educational levels. The study employed a qualitative descriptive-comparative approach based on secondary data from the 2025 Indonesian Education Report. Data were analyzed across fifteen educational service types at elementary, junior secondary, and senior secondary/vocational levels using four core indicators: literacy, numeracy, student character, and learning quality. The analysis involved data condensation, comparative data display, identification of achievement patterns, and verification of recurring disparities across service types and educational levels. The findings reveal persistent disparities in literacy and numeracy, particularly among equivalency education services, which frequently fall into the lower achievement categories. Several madrasas also demonstrate lower achievement, whereas religious education services show substantial variation across educational levels. Student character achievement is comparatively more homogeneous, while learning quality shows a predominantly declining trend across several service types. The findings demonstrate that educational inequality is multidimensional and cannot be adequately explained by a public–non-public dichotomy. Education quality policies should therefore adopt differentiated interventions based on educational pathways, service types, and specific quality indicators.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of smartphone usage on students’ learning concentration and identify its implications for educational practice. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The study involved 124 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire measuring smartphone usage and learning concentration. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with SPSS version 25, preceded by normality and linearity tests. The findings show that smartphone usage had a mean score of 38.42, while learning concentration had a mean score of 39.16. Regression analysis revealed a significant negative effect of smartphone usage on learning concentration (β = −0.562; t = −7.507; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.316) indicates that smartphone usage explains 31.6% of the variation in learning concentration. The study concludes that excessive or poorly regulated smartphone usage is associated with reduced concentration. The findings imply that schools, teachers, students, and parents should promote purposeful smartphone use, strengthen self-regulation, and establish appropriate digital-use guidelines.
