Aceh Government Policy in Preventing Radicalism Through the Existence of Dayah Islamic Education

2024-05-02T14:50:03+00:00

This research aims to describe the Aceh government's policy in preventing radicalism through the existence of Dayah Islamic education. The pluralism of the Indonesian nation, including Aceh, the westernmost province of Indonesia, is one of the factors causing radicalism to quickly enter through global progress and the massive spread of Wahhabism, which can penetrate the gaps in Islamic education. Therefore, for prevention, the Aceh government implemented three essential policies. The results of field data from several key informants consisting of Aceh border Dayah leaders and the Aceh Dayah Education Service, which is strengthened by the results of field observations, lead to the conclusion that the success of the three Aceh government policies cannot be separated from the results of the peace negotiations between GAM (Free Aceh Movement) and Indonesia in 2005, which led to the issuance of the "Aceh Government Law" (UUPA), serving as the basis for the implementation of formal Dayah education in Aceh.

Investigating Respect in Learning as Character Education: A Review of al-Zarnūjī’s Ta‘līm al-Muta‘allim

2024-05-14T14:52:19+00:00

Respect has been shown to provide psychological, social, and academic advantages; nevertheless, most academics have not given it enough credit in terms of encouraging students’ character development. Al-Zarnūjī’s idea, a classical Muslim scholar, as a point of reference for his esteemed work on the concept of Ta‘līm al-Muta‘allim has been one of the references in learning and teaching guidelines among pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) in Indonesia. This article aims to critically explore respect as a moral concept and explain how respect can contribute to current discussions in developing character education from the perspective of al-Zarnūjī’s Ta‘līm al-Muta‘allim. A critical analysis of books and journals that were cited was done concerning the contributions made in the field of character education. The study’s findings have led to three major disputes. The first is deference to knowledge as a source of illumination. Secondly, it is deference to the instructor as the foremost exemplar and facilitator of information exchange; and thirdly, it is honoring the colleague as a fellow participant in the educational journey. Respect in all of its dimensions should thus guide the process of teaching and learning.

Challenges and Opportunities in Early Childhood Religious and Moral Education: A Perspective from the Evaluation of Logical Models

2024-05-15T14:52:32+00:00

This study is an evaluation that aims to analyze the development of religious and moral values aspects of early childhood. The method used is a qualitative method, where data are collected through in-depth discussions with a logical model evaluation analysis in early childhood religious and moral values (NAM) development programs. The results of the study found three important things, namely first, so far value-based learning for early childhood is done through understanding religious symbols, daily routine worship practices, and daily prayers, while moral strengthening is done through fairy tales containing good values. Understanding and strengthening religious moral values in early childhood is implemented variably according to the needs of each school. This study also identified some weaknesses in the cultivation of religious and moral values in early childhood, namely routine activities that can obscure children's understanding and children's lack of enthusiasm due to mistakes in approaches that are not adapted to psychological development. Variations in teaching methods that are not appropriate for children's psychology can cause a distorted understanding of religious and moral values to become shallow. A holistic and diverse approach that takes into account the needs and characteristics of each child is needed to ensure that the cultivation of religious and moral values is effective and sustainable.

2024-06-06T14:57:47+00:00

Stress has an impact on uncontrolled negative emotions, which can cause individuals to engage in counterproductive behaviors such as self-harm. Self-harm is someone's act of hurting or even injuring themselves. Self-harm is a self-destructive behavior that individuals engage in to cope with emotional pain. Teenagers experience this condition more often than anyone else. Female students often encounter adolescents with similar conditions. This paper aims to determine the forms of self-harm behavior among teenage female students at boarding schools in Central Java. This study employs a qualitative research methodology with a phenomenological approach. The main subjects were three female students aged 18–21 who had engaged in self-harm behavior for at least five days or more and had been doing so for several years, as well as three supporting subjects. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation, and documentation. According to the research results, all subjects tend to self-harm when they feel pressure or have problems. Other significant research further confirms this. Adolescent female students who commit self-harm find comfort in themselves. External relationships do not provide such comfort. In research subjects, the symptoms of self-harm behavior are described as physical symptoms, psychological symptoms, and social phenomena. Meanwhile, factors that influence teenage female students to commit self-harm include genetic factors, biological factors, environmental factors, and psychological factors.
