Abstract

Civic Education (PPKn) has a vital role in developing students’ democratic character and civic awareness, especially in the era of the Merdeka Curriculum (2020–2025), which emphasizes active, value-based learning. However, recent findings indicate that most elementary schools in Indonesia still rely on teacher-centered lectures, resulting in low student participation and limited internalization of democratic values. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the role playing strategy as an active learning approach to foster democratic attitudes among elementary school students. Using a systematic literature review method, fifteen scholarly articles published between 2020 and 2025 were examined to identify the effectiveness of role playing in PPKn learning. The analysis shows that role playing significantly enhances students’ participation, communication, empathy, cooperation, and social responsibility. It also provides authentic experiences in deliberation, problem-solving, and joint decision-making that reinforce democratic behavior in daily life. Theoretically, this strategy aligns with Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and Vygotsky’s Social Constructivism, emphasizing that knowledge and values are best acquired through meaningful social experiences. The study concludes that role playing is an effective and contextually relevant approach to strengthening democratic education in elementary schools. Future research is recommended to conduct classroom-based experiments to provide empirical evidence and further develop innovative civic learning models that nurture democratic citizens in the digital era. [Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan (PPKn) memiliki peran penting dalam membentuk karakter dan sikap demokratis siswa, khususnya pada era Kurikulum Merdeka tahun 2020–2025 yang menekankan pembelajaran aktif dan berpusat pada nilai. Namun, berbagai penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran PPKn di sekolah dasar masih didominasi oleh metode ceramah yang bersifat teacher-centered, sehingga siswa kurang berpartisipasi aktif dan belum mampu menginternalisasi nilai-nilai demokrasi secara optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penerapan strategi role playing sebagai pendekatan pembelajaran aktif dalam menumbuhkan sikap demokratis siswa sekolah dasar. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur sistematis terhadap lima belas artikel ilmiah terbitan tahun 2020–2025 yang membahas efektivitas role playing dalam pembelajaran PPKn. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa strategi ini mampu meningkatkan partisipasi siswa, keterampilan komunikasi, empati, kerja sama, dan tanggung jawab sosial. Selain itu, role playing memberikan pengalaman belajar langsung yang melatih kemampuan musyawarah, pemecahan masalah, dan pengambilan keputusan bersama yang mencerminkan perilaku demokratis dalam kehidupan nyata. Secara teoretis, strategi ini sejalan dengan teori Experiential Learning (Kolb) dan Konstruktivisme Sosial (Vygotsky), yang menekankan pentingnya pengalaman sosial bermakna dalam pembentukan nilai dan karakter. Dengan demikian, role playing merupakan strategi yang efektif dan relevan diterapkan dalam pembelajaran PPKn di sekolah dasar. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan melakukan eksperimen lapangan untuk menguji efektivitas empiris dan mengembangkan inovasi pembelajaran kewarganegaraan berbasis nilai demokratis.]

Abstract

Digital transformation in the field of Human Resources, particularly through the implementation of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) or Digital HR, has emerged as a prominent global trend as organizations seek to enhance efficiency and responsiveness in managing human capital. Although HRIS adoption has become increasingly widespread across sectors, systematic empirical evidence explaining how such digitalization affects the operational efficiency of HR management remains limited, especially when viewed across diverse organizational contexts. This gap highlights the need for theoretically grounded studies that not only measure efficiency outcomes but also consider user acceptance as a critical determinant of successful implementation. This study examines the impact of HRIS implementation on HR management efficiency by employing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as its theoretical framework, with particular attention to perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 250 HR professionals from various industry sectors who had been using HRIS for a minimum of one year. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares to assess the relationships among key variables. The results indicate that both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness significantly shape attitudes toward HRIS utilization, which in turn exert a positive and significant influence on HR management efficiency. The efficiency gains are most evident in administrative processes, recruitment activities, employee data management, and reporting functions. Overall, the findings demonstrate that successful HRIS implementation, supported by strong user acceptance, can substantially enhance the operational efficiency of HR departments. This study not only reinforces the continued relevance of TAM in the context of HR technology adoption but also offers practical insights for organizations seeking to optimize the returns on their digital HR investments.

Abstract

The childfree phenomenon has emerged as a complex social issue within modern societies, including Indonesia, where this choice often conflicts with social and religious norms that emphasize the importance of progeny. This study examines the childfree phenomenon through three theoretical perspectives: classical liberalism, human rights, and Islamic law. Employing a normative legal approach, this research aims to analyze the concept of childfree through conceptual and comparative approaches. From the perspective of classical liberalism, childfree is viewed as a manifestation of individual freedom and bodily autonomy that is philosophically protected, insofar as it does not cause harm to others. Meanwhile, the human rights perspective asserts that childfree constitutes a reproductive right and a right to privacy guaranteed by both national and international legal instruments; therefore, this choice must be respected without external interference. In contrast, Islamic law rejects the concept of childfree on the grounds that it contradicts the maq??id al-syar?‘ah, particularly the principle of ?if? al-nasl as a fundamental objective of marriage, except in certain medical emergency conditions. These differing perspectives illustrate contrasting ways of understanding freedom and its limitations in reproductive issues. [ Fenomena childfree telah muncul sebagai persoalan sosial yang kompleks dalam masyarakat modern, termasuk di Indonesia, di mana pilihan ini kerap berbenturan dengan norma sosial dan keagamaan yang menekankan pentingnya keberlanjutan keturunan. Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena childfree melalui tiga perspektif teoretis, yaitu liberalisme klasik, hak asasi manusia, dan hukum Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan hukum normatif dengan metode konseptual dan komparatif untuk menganalisis konsep childfree. Dalam perspektif liberalisme klasik, childfree dipandang sebagai manifestasi kebebasan individu dan otonomi tubuh yang secara filosofis dilindungi sepanjang tidak menimbulkan kerugian bagi pihak lain. Sementara itu, perspektif hak asasi manusia menegaskan bahwa childfree merupakan bagian dari hak reproduksi dan hak atas privasi yang dijamin oleh instrumen hukum nasional maupun internasional, sehingga pilihan tersebut harus dihormati tanpa adanya intervensi eksternal. Sebaliknya, hukum Islam menolak konsep childfree karena dinilai bertentangan dengan maq??id al-syar?‘ah, khususnya prinsip ?if? al-nasl sebagai tujuan fundamental dalam perkawinan, kecuali dalam kondisi darurat medis tertentu. Perbedaan pandangan ini menunjukkan adanya kontras dalam memahami kebebasan serta batasannya dalam isu-isu reproduksi.]

Abstract

This article discusses the urgency of using the sharia label on Sharia Financial Institution (LKS) products, then what are the consequences of the sharia label being removed, and what are the implications of using the sharia label on the regulation and politics of Muslims in Indonesia. This article aims to question the implications of the “sharia label” on the regulation and politics of Muslims in Indonesia by looking at the narratives of Faculty of Economics and Islamic Business (FEBI) students. This article uses qualitative research methods. Primary data sources come from interviews with several FEBI students from various departments. While secondary data sources are library records including relevant books, scientific articles published in journals and other library materials. Data collection techniques are interviews and documentation. While the data analysis technique used is data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings show that the use of halal labels has implications for the overall operation and also the products of Sharia Financial Institutions (LKS) have their own attraction in the mechanism of LKS development. Therefore, through the Sharia Banking Law, the position of the substance of the DSN-MUI fatwa must be stated in the form of Bank Indonesia Regulation (PBI) so that it has binding legal force. Because PBI is one part of the legislation in the National legal system. Therefore, if you look at the understanding of students of the FEBI who are young academics towards the various applications of sharia principles contained in the DSN-MUI Fatwa, it requires a legitimisation process.

Abstract

The low learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Pulau Banyak constitute the main research problem of this study. This condition is influenced by teacher-centered learning practices, limited student engagement, and the lack of contextual and problem-oriented learning models. This study aims to improve students’ learning outcomes and the quality of the learning process in Islamic Religious Education through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Pulau Banyak. Data were collected through learning achievement tests, classroom observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the implementation of the Problem Based Learning model significantly improved students’ learning outcomes, as indicated by an increase in mastery learning from 40% in the pre-cycle to 60% in cycle I, and further to 87% in cycle II. In addition, problem-based learning enhanced students’ active participation, engagement, and deeper contextual understanding of Islamic Religious Education materials. The novelty of this study lies in the application of the Problem Based Learning model in Islamic Religious Education at the senior high school level, emphasizing not only cognitive achievement but also the development of critical thinking and religious problem-solving skills relevant to students’ daily lives. This study recommends the sustainable use of the PBL model as an effective and innovative instructional approach in Islamic Religious Education. [Rendahnya hasil belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) pada peserta didik kelas X SMA Negeri 1 Pulau Banyak menjadi permasalahan utama dalam penelitian ini. Kondisi tersebut dipengaruhi oleh proses pembelajaran yang masih berpusat pada guru, minimnya keterlibatan aktif peserta didik, serta kurangnya penggunaan model pembelajaran yang kontekstual dan menantang daya berpikir kritis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar dan kualitas proses pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam melalui penerapan model Problem Based Learning (PBL). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus, dengan setiap siklus meliputi tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah peserta didik kelas X SMA Negeri 1 Pulau Banyak. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes hasil belajar, observasi aktivitas peserta didik, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model Problem Based Learning mampu meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik secara signifikan, ditandai dengan peningkatan ketuntasan belajar dari 40% pada pra siklus menjadi 60% pada siklus I, dan meningkat kembali menjadi 87% pada siklus II. Selain itu, pembelajaran berbasis masalah terbukti meningkatkan keaktifan, partisipasi, serta kemampuan peserta didik dalam memahami materi PAI secara lebih mendalam dan kontekstual. Novelty penelitian ini terletak pada integrasi model Problem Based Learning dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam di tingkat Sekolah Menengah Atas yang tidak hanya berorientasi pada peningkatan hasil belajar, tetapi juga pada penguatan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah keagamaan yang relevan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penerapan model PBL secara berkelanjutan sebagai alternatif pembelajaran inovatif dalam mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam.]

Abstract

Divorce is a social and legal phenomenon that reflects the failure of marital harmony and the inability to achieve the Islamic ideal of a sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah family. In Indonesia, particularly in urban areas such as Makassar, divorce rates continue to increase and raise serious concerns regarding the protection of women’s and children’s rights after marital dissolution. This study is situated within the context of the high number of divorce cases in Makassar, South Sulawesi, where mediation mechanisms mandated by law have not significantly reduced divorce rates. The objective of this research is to evaluate the implementation of Islamic family law in divorce cases by examining the effectiveness of court-annexed mediation, judicial considerations, and the preventive role of the Marriage Advisory Board (BP4), as well as exploring Islamic legal alternatives such as tahkim (arbitration). This research employs a qualitative socio-legal approach, combining normative legal analysis of Islamic law, statutory regulations, and court decisions with empirical data obtained from divorce statistics, mediation records, and field observations in Makassar, particularly in Kelurahan Pannampu. The findings reveal that despite the mandatory application of mediation under Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2016, the success rate of mediation in the Religious Court of Makassar remains very low. Divorce cases, especially wife-initiated divorces, continue to dominate court proceedings. Furthermore, preventive efforts through BP4 counseling programs have been implemented but face limitations in terms of resources, coordination, and effectiveness. This study concludes that there is a significant gap between the normative ideals of Islamic family law and its practical implementation, highlighting the need to strengthen alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as tahkim and to enhance institutional synergy in order to better protect family integrity and post-divorce rights.

Abstract

Women's leadership in Islamic judicial institutions is a contemporary issue that requires in-depth study from the perspective of Islamic law and social reality. This study examines three fundamental aspects: Islamic law's view of women's leadership in religious courts, perceptions of the legitimacy of female judges' leadership, and gender challenges faced in judicial practice in the South Sulawesi Religious Court. The method used is normative legal research (library research) with a conceptual and case approach, analyzing primary legal sources such as the Qur'an, hadith, and religious court regulations, as well as secondary sources such as academic literature and previous research results. The results of the study show that Islamic law does not absolutely prohibit female leadership in the judiciary, with contextual interpretations of Sharia arguments that consider Sharia objectives and maslahah. However, the perception of the legitimacy of female judges is still influenced by patriarchal gender constructs rooted in conservative interpretations of religious texts. The main challenges include the theological dimension of resistance based on hadith prohibiting female leadership, the structural dimension of gender bias in the promotion and assignment system, and the socio-cultural dimension of the double burden of domestic and public roles. This study contributes to the development of a progressive Islamic legal discourse that supports gender equality in religious court institutions in Indonesia.
