2024-10-17T08:01:15+00:00

Saudi Vision 2030, conveived by His Royal Highness Prince Muhammad bin Salman (MBS), represents a transformative initiative to foster openness and shift away from Wahhabism to establish a more moderate Islam. As part of this vision, the reform of the Islamic education curriculum plays a crucial role. This study examines the curriculum reform processes and strategies, focusing on Dirasat Islamiyah textbooks addressing inter-religious and intrareligious relations. Employing a qualitative approach and text analysis, the research applies Michel Foucault's theory of power-knowledge relations to analyze the state's role in shaping educational content. The findings reveal that the reformed curriculum seeks to construct and internalize ideologies that align the younger Saudi generation with the moderate Islam agenda of MBS's government, supporting Saudi Vision 2030. This study contributes to the theoretical discourse on power-knowledge dynamics by showcasing education's role in advancing state-driven ideological shifts during significant socio-political reforms.

Tsirwah pesantren digital apps: as a da'wah platform in efforts to digitalize pesantren values

2024-10-17T08:08:58+00:00

This study aims to describe the values of pesantren in the contemporary era through the Tsirwah Pesantren Digital Application, using descriptive qualitative methods. Data was collected through a Google Form questionnaire distributed to the community and application users and observing the application in terms of presentation features, content, and user assessment. The results show that this application offers online mondok features, digital libraries, articles, and dhikr and worship features. The advantages of this application are that users can learn Islam with a clear scientific sanad in a flexible and interactive way without coming to the boarding school, but there are disadvantages such as features that are not yet optimal, yellow books that are not fully updated, and many paid features. The digitalization of pesantren values in the application includes digital yellow books, online studies, and recitation classes. The implications of the research show that the features in this application have been adapted to pesantren in the real world and are very helpful for users who want to learn without coming directly to the pesantren, with a positive response from the community who feel the benefits.

Reimplementation of madrasah ramah anak in building discipline character of students

2024-11-13T02:05:04+00:00

This study aims to discuss the implementation and impact of the Madrasah Ramah Anak (MRA) concept on the disciplinary character of students. This study uses a qualitative approach of field research type. This research took place at MAN 1 Sleman. Data collection was conducted through interviews and purposive sampling techniques. The results showed that the MRA program has been implemented following Sekolah Ramah Anak's (SRA) component. They are child-friendly school policy, educators and education personnel trained in children's rights and SRA, child-friendly learning process, child-friendly facilities and infrastructure, and child participation. MRA provides significant changes by shifting rewards and punishments towards a more humanist approach. The implementation of MRA, which is based on Albert Bandura's modeling theory, allows students to imitate the behavior of educators and peers. This modeling involves all madrasah stakeholders. The positive impact is the application of the principle of justice and increased networking with external parties such as BKKBN and Puskesmas. Then, the negative impact is the weakening of students' disciplinary attitude because they seem to feel safe from punishment. The solutions include involving students in competitions and formulating rules-related class agreements. This research is expected to make a scientific contribution to the formation of disciplinary character, especially through the concept of MRA.
