Abstract

The central issue in this study is how revelation and culture interact dialectically in the formation of Islamic law, particularly when both possess the potential for conflict or convergence within social realities. The objective of this research is to uncover the concept of dialectical interaction between revelation and culture in shaping Islamic legal norms. The method employed is a qualitative phenomenological approach, focusing on the relationship between revelation and culture in the development of Islamic law. The data used in this study consists of relevant secondary literature sources. The findings reveal that the interaction between revelation and culture may take the form of assimilation, accommodation, or penetration, depending on the epistemological strength and the urgency of public interest (maṣlaḥah) involved. The study concludes that Islamic law is not static; rather, it remains open to cultural dynamics as long as they do not contradict the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah. The study recommends strengthening istinbāṭ methodologies that are responsive to local cultural contexts, as well as enhancing Islamic legal literacy that can wisely and sustainably bridge the values of revelation with social realities.

Abstract

The national education system in the current century necessitates teaching and learning processes that emphasise a student-centred approach within classroom settings. However, a proportion of students continue to demonstrate weaknesses in expressing their opinions and responding to questions posed during lessons. Through the application of the Buzz Method in the Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB) subject, the researcher seeks to examine the effectiveness of this strategy in facilitating more active student participation in sharing ideas and enhancing academic achievement. The challenges faced by students in articulating their views and their passive behaviour in responding to questions prompted the researcher to implement this method in classroom practice. The Buzz Method enables students to initiate small-group discussions prior to presenting responses, thereby building their confidence to speak and answer questions. Consequently, the research objectives and research questions were successfully addressed. Findings obtained through interview instruments and pre- and post-tests, analysed thematically and using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, demonstrated positive outcomes, with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05. This indicates a statistically significant difference, confirming that the application of the Buzz Method effectively improves student performance.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of the religious moderation paradigm within Islamic pedagogy in the digital learning ecology of contemporary pesantren. The research is motivated by the growing tension between traditional value-based education and the rapid expansion of digital practices in pesantren, which has altered learning patterns, authority structures, and mechanisms of value transmission. Using a qualitative library research approach, this study analyzes primary and secondary literature related to religious moderation, Islamic pedagogy, digital pesantren transformation, and digital learning ecology. The analysis combines content analysis, comparative analysis, and conceptual synthesis to identify theoretical intersections and gaps. The findings reveal that although the values of religious moderation are inherently compatible with the principles of Islamic pedagogy, their implementation in digital spaces remains fragmented due to the lack of an integrative pedagogical framework. Digitalization offers both opportunities and risks for value internalization, demanding a renewed pedagogical model that aligns moderation values with digital learning dynamics. This study concludes that an integrative conceptual model is essential to strengthen value-based Islamic education in pesantren amid ongoing digital transformation.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effect of the Starfall website on students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts. The study was motivated by the low reading performance of ninth-grade students at elementary school, especially in understanding complex and lengthy passages. Starfall, as a digital learning platform, was implemented to provide interactive and engaging reading input for the students. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test procedures involving an experimental group that used Starfall and a control group that received conventional instruction. The sample was selected through cluster random sampling, and the instrument used was a multiple-choice test based on Brown’s theory, including items on main idea, inference, detail, and vocabulary. The research results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Starfall website had a positive influence on students’ reading comprehension in narrative texts and may serve as an effective alternative learning resource.

Abstract

The implementation of Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum provides broad flexibility for schools to design learning based on students’ needs and contextual characteristics; however, its adoption continues to face challenges related to unequal access, varying levels of teacher readiness, and disparities in school resources. This study aims to formulate a hybrid curriculum model that offers a more adaptive and equitable approach to curriculum development suited to Indonesia’s diverse educational landscape. Employing a library research method with a descriptive–analytical approach, the study systematically reviewed relevant literature published within the last five years, focusing on curriculum development models, Merdeka Curriculum implementation, teacher readiness, and educational access gaps. Data were analyzed through thematic categorization, comparative evaluation, and conceptual synthesis. The findings indicate that no single curriculum model sufficiently addresses Indonesia’s complex educational context, thereby necessitating a hybrid approach that integrates national standards with localized adaptability. The proposed hybrid curriculum consists of three interconnected components core, adaptive, and support elements which collectively ensure both flexibility and consistency in instructional quality. The study’s implications highlight the importance of systemic support, including teacher training, provision of minimum learning resources, and targeted affirmative policies, to enable widespread and sustainable implementation. This research contributes a conceptual framework for curriculum development and provides a foundation for future empirical studies exploring hybrid curriculum practices in diverse school settings

Abstract

Educational developments in the era of globalization and digitalization have driven a paradigm shift in the education system, including Islamic Religious Education (IRE). Education in the 21st century is no longer limited to knowledge transfer but also functions as a means of character formation, skill enhancement, and the cultivation of universal human values aligned with 21st-century competencies. However, the current evaluation system of the IRE curriculum in many institutions remains cognitively oriented and has yet to fully integrate inclusivity and competence-based learning principles. This study aims to formulate a conceptual model for evaluating the IRE curriculum that integrates an inclusive paradigm with a 21st-century competency-based approach. The findings indicate that incorporating inclusivity into the IRE evaluation model aligns with Outcome-Based Education (OBE), which emphasizes contextual and holistic learning outcomes while fostering critical, collaborative, communicative, and creative skills. The proposed model highlights learning outcomes as key indicators, supported by differentiated rubrics and authentic assessments such as project-based and portfolio-based evaluations. It also introduces inclusive indicators such as accessibility, participation, and accommodation for students with special needs. Overall, this inclusivity-oriented model signifies an epistemological shift from content-based to outcomes-based evaluation, creating a humanistic, adaptive, and equitable framework for contemporary Islamic education

Abstract

The increasing rate of divorce in various regions reflects a disruption in marital relationships that contributes to family vulnerability. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of marital disruption and examine the educational communication strategies employed by religious counselors to internalize sakinah family values in Sukowono District, Jember Regency. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with religious counselors, the head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), and couples participating in premarital guidance programs, complemented by field observations and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion verification. The findings indicate that marital disruption in Sukowono is shaped by three main factors: weak interpersonal communication between spouses, limited psychological readiness for marriage, and changing communication patterns influenced by digital technology. To address these challenges, religious counselors apply instructional communication strategies through dialogical interaction, persuasive, value-based religious communication, empathetic counseling, and adaptive communication approaches. This study proposes the concept of instructional communication resilience as a model for strengthening sakinah family development through educational communication within community-based religious institutions.

Abstract

Generative AI (GenAI) has increasingly been incorporated into higher education and language learning because of its potential to provide immediate explanations, examples, and interactive support. In Sociolinguistics, however, limited research has examined how Generative AI supports students’ understanding of language variation concepts, particularly in Indonesian higher education contexts. To address this gap, this study investigated how students used Generative AI in a Sociolinguistics course and the extent to which it enhanced their understanding of language variation concepts at UIN Raden Intan Lampung. This study employed an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. The participants were 32 undergraduate students enrolled in a Sociolinguistics course. The instruments consisted of a language variation concept test, a GenAI use questionnaire, weekly learning logs, and semi-structured interviews. Data were collected over six weeks through pretest and posttest administration, questionnaire distribution, learning-log documentation, and follow-up interviews with selected students. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings showed that students’ posttest scores (M = 69.75, SD = 10.81) were significantly higher than their pretest scores (M = 58.84, SD = 7.24), t(31) = 6.45, p < .001, with a large effect size (Cohen’s dz = 1.14). The qualitative findings revealed that students mainly used Generative AI to simplify difficult concepts, generate contextualized examples, refine their understanding through follow-up prompts, and verify AI-generated responses. Overall, Generative AI functioned as a supportive learning resource in Sociolinguistics, although its effectiveness depended on students’ critical and strategic use.

Abstract

Family films function as a medium of communication, entertainment, and a social mirror that reflects the dynamics and values of family life. One example is Gara Gara Warisan, an Indonesian comedy-drama that raises the issue of inheritance disputes and highlights the importance of communication, justice, and togetherness within the family. This study aims to analyze the representation of inheritance law in the film through Roland Barthes’ semiotic perspective and the Indonesian inheritance system. The research is a descriptive-qualitative study employing a semantic approach and inductive analysis, using secondary data derived from the film Gara Gara Warisan. Dialogues in the film are classified based on semiotic parameters, then analyzed using Roland Barthes’ theory and the Indonesian inheritance system to identify consistent patterns of meaning. The findings indicate that the concept of inheritance in Gara Gara Warisan presents multiple layers of meaning from Roland Barthes’ semiotic perspective and reflects the dynamics of inheritance law in Indonesia. This study implies that the understanding of inheritance law is closely related to concepts perceived by society. Such concepts must embody principles of togetherness, justice, and utility.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of social media on adolescent language use and character development from an Islamic perspective, addressing a critical gap in existing research that often examines digital communication without integrating linguistic analysis and Islamic ethical frameworks. While prior studies have explored the impact of social media on youth behavior, limited attention has been given to how language practices in digital spaces reflect and shape moral values within an Islamic context. This research aims to analyze patterns of language use among adolescents on social media and to examine their implications for character formation in relation to Islamic principles of ethical communication. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving observation of adolescents’ online interactions, documentation of digital discourse, and analysis of relevant scholarly literature. The findings indicate that social media promotes the widespread use of informal language forms, such as slang, abbreviations, and code-mixing, which may influence adolescents’ formal language competence. More importantly, these linguistic practices are closely linked to shifts in communication ethics, including reduced politeness, impulsive expression, and the pursuit of social validation. From an Islamic perspective, such tendencies may contradict core values such as akhlaq (moral conduct), adab (proper manners), and responsibility in speech. This study contributes to both linguistic and Islamic studies by offering an integrated analysis of language behavior and moral development in digital contexts. It emphasizes the need for value-based guidance from families, educational institutions, and society to foster ethical and responsible communication among adolescents in the digital era.
