Abstract

The digital transformation of Indonesian education faces severe geographical and infrastructural hurdles, particularly within the Papua region, where a persistent digital divide complicates the implementation of modern educational standards. This phenomenological study explores how 26 Papuan pre-service teachers navigate the demands of the digital age alongside the mandates of the Kurikulum Merdeka (Independent Curriculum). Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research analyzes data collected from students across various districts in Biak to reveal the lived experiences of future educators in underdeveloped areas. The findings highlight a sharp contrast between professional idealism and structural reality; while these pre-service teachers demonstrate high levels of resilience by prioritizing "offline-first" pedagogy and the integration of local wisdom, their readiness is severely constrained by a lack of stable internet access, electricity, and essential digital devices. Furthermore, professional development is significantly hindered by limited access to training and workshops in these remote locations. This study concludes that the readiness of pre-service teachers is structurally limited rather than a result of personal capability. Consequently, the findings contribute to the field by emphasizing that policy interventions must shift from mere curriculum updates to prioritizing foundational infrastructure and localized training. Such targeted efforts are essential to ensure equitable educational progress and to bridge the gap between national digital expectations and the reality of rural Papuan classrooms.

Abstract

Research examining the psychological condition of congregants during the practice of dhikr and its impact on inner peace remains relatively limited. Objective: This article aims to explain the process through which inner peace is formed among members of the Annisa Dhikr Assembly (Majelis zikir Annisa) in Matesih, Karanganyar, Central Java, Indonesia. Method: This study employs a qualitative approach using a phenomenological method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation and were analyzed to capture the congregants’ subjective experiences while engaging in dhikr practices. Results: The findings indicate that congregants’ experiences of inner peace are dynamic and shaped by several key dimensions, including physiological, psychological, spiritual, and social support aspects. The interaction among these dimensions contributes significantly to the emergence of feelings of calmness and inner tranquility. In addition, inner peace is influenced by contextual factors such as the presence of the dhikr leader, the leader’s vocal intonation during the dhikr recitation, the style of delivery, and the congregants’ level of understanding of the meaning and practice of dhikr. Conclusion: These findings suggest that dhikr functions not merely as a religious ritual, but also as a psychospiritual experience that plays an important role in fostering inner peace among congregants.

Abstract

Maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah is the philosophical foundation of Islamic law that aims to realize welfare and prevent harm in human life. However, the classical formulation of maqāṣid al-Syarī’ah, which focuses on protecting the five basic needs (al-Dharūriyyāt al-Khams), faces serious challenges in responding to the complexities of contemporary society. Objective: This article aims to analyze the paradigm shift of maqāṣid al-Syarī’ah from a protection and preservation approach to a development and rights-based approach. Method: Using qualitative-descriptive methods through a literature review, this study examines the contributions of Ibn ‘Asyur and Jasser Auda’s thought in reconstructing the maqāṣid al-Syarī’ah as an adaptive and systemic framework for Islamic legal philosophy. Results: The results show that contemporary maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah is no longer limited to individual interests but extends to universal values ​​such as social justice, human rights, religious freedom, and collective well-being. Conclusion: This article asserts that contextualizing the maqāṣid al-Syarī‘ah is a methodological necessity to maintain the relevance of Islamic law in addressing social, legal, and humanitarian challenges in the modern era.

Abstract

The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) in the 21st century has significantly transformed the landscape of Islamic education. Objective: This study explores the process of forming children’s religiosity through a combination of manual and digital learning (blended learning) at Al-Azhar Cairo Islamic Elementary School, Banda Aceh. Method: Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, this research investigates how blended learning serves as a pedagogical model to harmonize digital flexibility with spiritual depth. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation from teachers and students actively engaged in religious instruction. Results: The study finds that integrating manual learning—which emphasizes direct interaction, modeling, and moral habituation—with digital media such as Qur’an learning applications, interactive videos, and online platforms, fosters a balanced development of students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor religious dimensions. Teachers play multidimensional roles as murobbi (spiritual educator), mu’allim (knowledge transmitter), murshid (spiritual guide), and uswah hasanah (moral exemplar). Conclusion: The study concludes that digital learning, when positioned as enrichment rather than substitution, can strengthen children’s religiosity and promote an adaptive Islamic education model aligned with the digital era while preserving spiritual authenticity

Abstract

Pronunciation is a fundamental component of English language learning that directly affects learners’ intelligibility and communicative competence. Among EFL learners, particularly those from Indonesian backgrounds, the pronunciation of the English phonemes /l/ and /r/ poses a persistent challenge due to first language interference, limited phonological awareness, and insufficient exposure to native-like input. Objective: This study aims to review and synthesize existing literature on students’ ability to practice English pronunciation, specifically the /l/ and /r/ sounds, through the use of songs as a learning medium. Method: Employing a qualitative literature review approach, this study analyzes findings from peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and relevant academic sources related to pronunciation instruction, phonological difficulties, and song-based language learning. Results: The review reveals that songs provide repetitive, rhythmic, and authentic phonological input that supports pronunciation development while fostering a low-anxiety and motivating learning environment. Although previous studies highlight the positive impact of songs on learners’ engagement and pronunciation accuracy, research focusing explicitly on /l/ and /r/ pronunciation remains limited. Conclusion: Therefore, further empirical investigation is recommended to strengthen instructional practices in EFL pronunciation teaching.

Abstract

This study examines the application of the Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS) model in principal supervision and its contribution to staff and teacher performance as well as school administration transparency. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research draws on a structured literature review, limited observations, and contextual analysis of school administrative practices in Indonesia. The findings indicate that the integration of the BARS model into school supervision enhances administrative objectivity by anchoring performance evaluations to observable behaviors, thereby reducing subjectivity and performance deviations. The study further reveals that the presence of a School Performance Operator as an administrative liaison strengthens communication, accountability, and trust between school leadership, staff, and teachers. Additionally, BARS-based supervision supports transparent decision-making processes and fosters a participatory administrative culture within schools. These results suggest that the BARS model serves not only as an evaluative tool but also as a developmental framework that promotes performance stability and institutional transparency. The study contributes to the discourse on educational administration by highlighting the importance of structured, behavior-based supervision models in improving governance and accountability in school settings.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine how students manage personal finances within a digitally driven culture and to analyze the extent to which financial literacy and social media exposure influence consumptive behavior and impulsive buying tendencies. Method: The research employs a qualitative-analytical approach through a critical review of recent empirical literature, interpreted using contemporary frameworks of digital consumer behavior that integrate economic, psychological, social, and digital perspectives. Result: The analysis shows that students’ consumptive behavior is shaped not only by limited financial literacy but also by algorithm-driven digital environments, social media pressures, weak self-control, and the internalization of digital lifestyle values. The accessibility of online transactions and pay-later services further blurs the boundary between needs and wants, intensifying consumption beyond students’ financial capacity. Conclusion: The study proposes a contextualized financial literacy framework for Gen Z that integrates cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions. Strengthening financial education through holistic and digitally responsive approaches is essential for universities and educational institutions to promote healthier, more sustainable financial habits among students in the contemporary digital ecosystem.

Abstract

This study examines the role of website-based digital history writing in advancing the decolonization of history education within the Primary Teacher Education Program (PGSD). Grounded in a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved 40 second-year PGSD students participating in a semester-long digital history project that emphasized local historical inquiry, archival research, and digital storytelling. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of student-produced website content and reflective journals. The findings indicate that digital history projects facilitate the validation of local knowledge by enabling students to critically juxtapose colonial archives with oral and community-based sources. This process contributed to a significant transformation in students’ historical consciousness, shifting from traditional and exemplary orientations toward critical and genetic levels. Moreover, the integration of website media fostered digital literacy, ethical awareness, and reflective historical thinking, positioning students as active producers rather than passive consumers of historical narratives. Despite challenges related to digital inequality and ethical representation, the study demonstrates that digitalization, when aligned with decolonial pedagogy, offers a powerful framework for developing inclusive and contextually grounded history education. The findings underscore the potential of digital platforms to support epistemic justice and to prepare future elementary teachers to implement decolonized history learning in schools.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital business has significantly transformed tourism promotion and development, particularly in regional destinations. Objective: This study examines the role of digital business in promoting and developing tourism in North Tapanuli, Indonesia, focusing on how digital platforms are utilized by tourism stakeholders and local communities. Method: Employing a qualitative approach with a netnographic method, the research analyzes online interactions, digital content, and promotional practices across social media platforms and online travel services. Result: The findings reveal that digital business practices in North Tapanuli are predominantly community-driven and rely heavily on visual storytelling through platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and online travel agencies. These practices contribute to increased destination visibility, enhanced tourist engagement, and the formation of digital reputation through user-generated content and online reviews. Conclusion: The effectiveness of digital tourism promotion remains constrained by uneven digital literacy, limited infrastructure, and fragmented stakeholder coordination. The study highlights that while digital business creates significant opportunities for tourism development, its sustainability depends on integrated digital strategies, capacity-building initiatives, and stronger institutional support. This research contributes to the literature on digital tourism by providing empirical insights from a regional context and emphasizing the importance of inclusive digital ecosystems in tourism development.

Abstract

Objective: The rapid expansion of digital technologies has intensified adolescents’ exposure to online gambling, raising concerns about its social, educational, and psychological consequences. This study aims to examine patterns of online gambling among adolescents, associated behavioral changes, and the implications for education within the local context of Cilegon City, Indonesia. Method: Using a qualitative document-based research design, the study analyzes secondary data drawn from local statistical reports, policy documents, academic studies, and school- and community-based intervention records related to online gambling. Result: The findings indicate that adolescent engagement in online gambling is facilitated by high digital accessibility, peer influence, and the normalization of gambling elements in online gaming environments. Behavioral changes observed include increased impulsivity, emotional instability, social withdrawal, and distorted perceptions of risk and reward. These behavioral shifts are closely linked to educational consequences such as declining academic engagement, reduced learning motivation, and weakened school attachment. Family and school contexts emerge as critical factors, functioning both as sources of risk and as potential protective environments, depending on the quality of supervision, communication, and institutional support. The study highlights significant gaps in preventive efforts, particularly the lack of structured school-based programs and coordinated home–school interventions. Conclusion: The findings underscore the need for integrated, education-centered prevention strategies and context-sensitive policies to address adolescent online gambling as a multidimensional social and educational issue.
