Abstract

This study aims to examine how Pondok Pesantren Manbaul Ulum in Indonesia implements management innovation strategies to develop its Vocational Secondary School (VSS) while preserving its core Islamic values in an increasingly competitive vocational education landscape. Employing a qualitative single-case study design, the research collected data through semi-structured interviews with 10 purposively selected informants, representing leaders, curriculum developers, teachers, and students, supplemented by participatory observation and document analysis. Methodological triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing ensured data validity, and analysis followed Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model. The findings demonstrate that the pesantren’s success is anchored in a deliberate model of institutional hybridity operationalised through a structured dual-curriculum, a disciplinary system that converts piety into a strategic VRIN resource, and a market positioning strategy centred on producing morally grounded graduates. These mechanisms create a synergistic fusion of religious and vocational logics that strengthens organisational resilience and competitive advantage. The study's limitations include its reliance on a single case in one geographical context, which restricts generalizability, suggesting that future research should examine diverse pesantren models or employ mixed methods. This study offers originality by providing a process-based explanation of how faith-based institutions can transform religious values into strategic resources, contributing to institutional theory and offering practical guidance for religious educational organisations navigating modernisation.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of religious moderation policies in Pontianak, Indonesia, in relation to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4, SDG 5, and SDG 10. This research is important for understanding the contribution of religious moderation in fostering an inclusive and peaceful society. A qualitative approach was employed through a case study in Pontianak, using in-depth interviews and field observations. Data were collected from religious figures, community leaders, and members of society from various religious and ethnic backgrounds, and were analysed thematically. The findings indicate that the main challenges include the politicisation of policies and conservative groups that view religious moderation merely as passive tolerance. Opportunities are driven by high acceptance among youth and academics, which strengthens social capital. A significant impact is found in the field of education, where initiatives for integrating religious moderation have reinforced tolerance and inclusivity. Public acceptance varies, showing critical interpretational gaps. This study is limited to Pontianak and may not fully represent the situation across Indonesia. The limitations of data and observation time also affected the depth of analysis. This research provides an important contribution to the development of more inclusive and contextual religious moderation policies in Indonesia, with opportunities for further research in other regions with different social conditions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the internalisation of religious moderation at Al-Istiqamah Modern Islamic Boarding School through Islamic classical texts (kitab kuning) instruction amid religious polarisation and contemporary educational demands. The research addresses a gap in previous studies by presenting the integration of traditional and modern methods, a tiered curriculum, and social interaction within the pesantren as contributing factors in shaping moderate attitudes, including freedom in choosing a mazhab, tolerance, and openness. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. This study collected data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analysed them through data reduction, data presentation, and verification stages. The findings reveal that kitab kuning learning in this institution is conducted formally in the classroom by modifying traditional methods into modern approaches based on the Tarbiyatul Muallimin al-Islamiyah curriculum. The materials include classical kitab and miniature kitab kuning covering fiqh, usul fiqh, hadith, tafsir, Arabic language, and other Islamic sciences. This process significantly contributes to fostering students' moderate attitudes, as reflected in their freedom to choose a school of thought, tolerance toward differing opinions, decisiveness in religious choices, and openness to interacting with various Islamic organisations. The study offers originality by demonstrating that moderation is shaped not only through curricular content but also through social interaction, teacher role modelling, and students’ autonomy in choosing a school of thought. It also opens pathways for future research, including comparative studies among Islamic boarding schools or investigations into the sustainability of moderation values among alums.

Abstract

The increasing phenomenon of intolerance in educational environments threatens social harmony in Indonesia's multicultural society. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role in instilling the values ​​of humanity, tolerance, and peace among people. This study aims to develop and analyse a tolerance-based PAI learning model as a strategy to strengthen the moderate character of students at Madrasah Hurrasul Aqidah, Tarakan. The researcher used a qualitative approach with a case study type. The primary data sources of the study consisted of PAI teachers, the principal, and students. Meanwhile, secondary data sources were obtained from syllabus documents, school archives, and scientific literature related to PAI learning and tolerance education. Data collection techniques included participant observation and semi-structured interviews to explore respondents' perceptions and experiences more flexibly. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. Data validity was tested using source and technique triangulation by comparing the results of observations, interviews, and documentation to ensure data validity and reliability. The model for developing Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning based on culture and tolerance involves creating a syllabus that integrates four main pillars of values: peace, inclusivity, wisdom, and pluralism. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of a culture- and tolerance-based syllabus has a positive impact on increasing students' empathy and openness in interacting with friends of different religions. Furthermore, learning strategies involving discussions, simulations, case studies, and contextual learning have proven effective in fostering social empathy, respect for differences, and student discipline and responsibility. The limitation of this study is its limited scope in one location, so the results cannot be generalised widely. Nevertheless, these findings provide an important contribution to strengthening the paradigm of humanistic and multicultural religious education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the concept of adab in Islamic learning by developing a structured conceptual model grounded in Kitāb al-ʿIlm of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī. While existing scholarship has widely discussed adab within Islamic education, its components are often presented in a fragmented and normative manner, resulting in limited conceptual organisation for contemporary Islamic Education. Addressing this gap, the article conceptualises adab as an integrative moral–epistemic framework that connects classical Islamic sources with modern educational theory. Methodologically, the study employs a qualitative conceptual design using an integrative literature review combined with directed content analysis. The data consist of selected ḥadīth from Kitāb al-ʿIlm of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī as the primary textual source, supplemented by authoritative classical commentaries. Data were collected through systematic identification and thematic extraction of adab-related materials and analysed by organising concepts into predefined analytical categories while allowing relevant themes to emerge. Analytical rigour was ensured through transparent source selection, consistent transliteration, and triangulation with classical interpretations. The analysis identifies three core dimensions of adab in learning: ethical relations between teachers and learners, the order and norms governing learning settings, and the ethics of inquiry, listening, referencing, and knowledge transmission. These dimensions operate alongside enabling conditions, namely intention, teacher exemplarity, and institutional culture, which together shape educational outcomes such as learner engagement, the quality of scholarly discourse, and the formation of a stable ethical disposition rooted in adab. The article further proposes four theory-driven propositions to guide future empirical research. As a text-based conceptual study, the model invites empirical testing across diverse educational contexts and contributes a transferable analytical framework for Islamic education research.

Abstract

This study seeks to establish a zero-tolerance environment for sexual violence at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya by enhancing internal processes based on Islamic campus principles. It addresses ongoing concerns of sexual violence and the lack of effective preventive and response procedures, highlighting the significance of gender awareness and justice for victims. This study employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, grounded in the social-ecological model, comprising four stages: planning, action, observation, and evaluation. Stakeholders across the institution contributed to policy development, education, awareness campaigns, and the formation of a Sexual Violence Prevention and Handling Task Force (Satuan Tugas Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan Seksual/Satgas PPKS). Continuous evaluation enabled improvements at each phase. The findings show that campus members' awareness of sexual violence remains low, with misunderstandings regarding its forms and consequences. The study yielded significant results through participatory action, including the formation of a gender-responsive task force, policy proposals, gender education initiatives, and a "Zero Tolerance Sexual Violence" declaration. These actions increased the institution's commitment to a safe and inclusive campus. This study was limited to a single institution and relied on leadership support and readily available infrastructure. However, its structure provides a paradigm for different Islamic higher education situations. This work presents an innovative synthesis of Islamic ethics and gender justice, utilising participatory and ecological methodologies, which results in a reproducible paradigm for reducing sexual violence in higher education.

Abstract

This study examines Islamic Educational Approaches to the Resilience of Former Terrorism Convicts through an analysis of the Social Reconstruction Curriculum developed and implemented by the Lingkar Perdamaian Foundation (Yayasan Lingkar Perdamaian/YLP) in Lamongan, East Java. The study aims to explain how Islamic education contributes to building resilience among former terrorism convicts, particularly in fostering ideological transformation, psychosocial recovery, and sustainable social reintegration. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach and collected data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving former terrorism convicts, programme facilitators, and institutional administrators. The researchers conducted data analysis using thematic analysis, drawing on social reconstruction curriculum theory and social-ecological resilience theory. The findings indicate that YLP's Social Reconstruction Curriculum integrates religious moderation education, Sufi-based spiritual approaches and the Living Qur'an method, skills training and economic empowerment, peace campaigns, and structured family and community reintegration. This holistic and dialogical Islamic educational approach has proven effective in strengthening psychosocial resilience, reconstructing religious and social identities, and facilitating disengagement from violent extremist ideologies. The study underscores that deradicalisation grounded in Islamic education constitutes a long-term, humanistic, and contextual process of social reconstruction, and it offers an alternative curriculum model to strengthen deradicalisation programs and post-conflict peacebuilding initiatives in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to test and establish the construct validity of the Qur'an memorization motivation scale based on a literature review using the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) method. Specifically, this study also aims to test the extent to which the statistical model of Qur'an memorization motivation that has been built by various previous studies, both quantitative and qualitative—which divides the motivation to memorize the Qur'an into two latent variables (intrinsic and extrinsic) with a number of manifest variables—can fit the empirical data. This study uses a quantitative research design to build a Qur'an memorization motivation scale through exploratory factor analysis involving 154 students of the Institute of Qur'anic Sciences (IIQ) Jakarta as respondents. Descriptive analysis was conducted before the factor test, and this instrument will be revalidated in subsequent studies using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results of the study showed that EFA successfully identified six motivational factors with adequate psychometric characteristics: external recognition (7.576/30.305%), internal spirituality (2.874/11.495%), external environment (1.746/6.984%), family support (1.289/5.157%), teacher and peer support (1.240/4.959%), and hope for reward in the afterlife (1.103/4.413%). Initial construct validity was supported by a KMO value of 0.840, a significant Bartlett test (χ² = 1743.881; p < 0.001), and a total explained variance of 63.31%. These findings confirm that the motivation to memorize the Qur'an is a multidimensional construct that includes intrinsic and extrinsic aspects. In addition, EFA proved effective as an initial psychometric approach in building the validity structure of the instrument, which will be the basis for the further validation process through CFA.

Abstract

Every child, including those with disabilities, possesses spiritual and intellectual potential that can be nurtured through spirituality-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) aligned with their individual dispositions. This study examines an integrative multidisciplinary approach to PAI for students with disabilities by connecting Islamic educational theology, inclusive education principles, and adaptive spiritual pedagogy. Employing a qualitative case study design at SLB Kemala Bhayangkari Trenggalek, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analysed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that spirituality-based PAI learning, as perceived by teachers, extends beyond formal worship instruction to include the cultivation of character values such as honesty, responsibility, and tolerance, adjusted to students’ abilities and types of disabilities. Spiritual elements were systematically integrated into lesson plans (RPP) and Individual Learning Programs (PPI), while instructional materials were linked to values such as patience and gratitude. Teaching methods and media were adapted using lectures, visual materials, videos, and experiential activities to accommodate diverse learning needs. Teachers also reported challenges related to students’ varying emotional conditions, which were addressed through flexible and creative instructional strategies. This study contributes an integrative conceptual framework that positions spirituality as a mediating pedagogical construct linking Islamic theology, inclusive education, and adaptive multisensory practices, offering both theoretical and practical implications for the development of more humanistic and inclusive PAI learning models for students with disabilities.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the increasing demands for accountability, transparency, and effectiveness of higher education governance, particularly at State Islamic Religious Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN), which are faced with the need to integrate sound governance principles with Islamic values. Despite the widespread implementation of good governance, institutions still struggle to operationalise Islamic values concretely in personnel management practices. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the implementation of Islamic-based sound governance principles, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, assess their impact on employee performance, and formulate optimisation strategies at the State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Curup as a non-metropolitan PTKIN. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, which are analysed using reflective thematic analysis. The results show that the institution has integrated the implementation of sound governance with Islamic values such as amanah, syura, ihsan, and ‘adl, thereby forming a holistic governance model based on spiritual values. This integration has a positive impact on motivation, loyalty, professionalism, and organisational performance, although it still faces structural and cultural obstacles and limited digital capacity. Optimisation strategies include strengthening Islamic leadership, developing human resource capacity, values-based digitalisation, and strengthening organisational culture. This research is limited by its single-case focus and qualitative approach, resulting in limited generalizability. The implications of this research enrich the development of good governance and Islamic work ethics theory with a hybrid governance model based on Islamic values, and provide practical recommendations for PTKIN management. The novelty of this research lies in the operationalisation of Islamic values ​​in personnel governance practices in an integrative and contextual manner.
