La Zubair — 2026-08-30

Social challenges that emerge in today's multicultural society include increasing intolerance, strengthening identity-based exclusivity, and weakening of mutual trust between groups. In responding to this, Islamic education occupies a strategic position in instilling the values of social harmony to form human beings with noble character and social concern. This research aims to analyze the role of Islamic education in strengthening social harmony in the midst of the diversity of multicultural societies. The research uses a qualitative research type with a literature study approach. The results of the study show that Islamic education has a strategic role in internalizing the values of tolerance, religious moderation, humanitarian brotherhood, justice and balance. These values are the foundation for forming an inclusive, humanist, and peace-oriented religious character. The implementation of contextual and moderate Islamic education has proven to be relevant in preventing social conflicts and strengthening the integration of pluralistic societies. The practical implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening a curriculum based on religious moderation, improving teacher competence, and developing an inclusive and dialogical educational culture.

Dampak Kecanduan Gadget Terhadap Interaksi Sosial Generasi Muda: Studi Literatur tentang Mekanisme Dampak dan Strategi Mitigasi

Dwi Syahrah — 2026-08-30

This study aims to analyze the impact of gadget addiction on the social interactions of the younger generation, as well as to identify influencing factors and mitigation strategies. A qualitative method employing a literature review approach was used. Data were obtained by searching for and selecting scholarly articles relevant to themes such as gadget usage, gadget addiction, social media, and youth social interaction. Literature selection was based on topical alignment, relevance to the research focus, and the availability of information supporting the analysis. Data were analyzed using a descriptive-qualitative approach involving identification, thematic grouping of findings, comparison of research results, and synthesis to uncover patterns of relationships between gadget usage and changes in social interaction. The study results indicate that gadget addiction is linked not only to high usage intensity but also to a shift of time and attention from face-to-face interactions toward digital activities. This situation has the potential to diminish the quality of direct communication, social awareness, community engagement, and socialization skills. Conversely, the impact of gadgets is influenced by usage patterns and supervision factors. The literature synthesis reveals that parental supervision, usage restrictions, digital literacy, character education, and self-control are crucial factors in mitigating the negative impacts of gadget usage. The study concludes that the impact of gadget addiction on social interaction is a process involving excessive usage, shifts in interaction patterns, and changes in the quality of social relationships.

Nurul Shafarina — 2026-10-30

Microteaching is one of the courses that plays an important role in preparing prospective Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers to possess competencies that meet the demands of the teaching profession. This study aims to examine the urgency of microteaching in preparing professional PAI teachers through the development of pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies. The study employs a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained from various literature sources, including books, scientific journals, research articles, and academic documents relevant to microteaching and teacher professionalism. Data collection was conducted through documentation studies, while data analysis employed content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that microteaching serves as a means of bridging theory and teaching practice, training basic teaching skills, developing self-reflection abilities, and enhancing students' readiness to face field practice and the professional world. Furthermore, microteaching makes a significant contribution to the development of pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies among prospective PAI teachers. Its successful implementation is supported by lecturer guidance, the availability of learning facilities, and student motivation, although challenges remain, including limited time, nervousness, and differences between simulated situations and actual classroom conditions. Therefore, optimizing microteaching through the use of innovative methods, educational technology, constructive feedback, and continuous practice is necessary to produce professional, competent PAI teachers who are prepared to face the challenges of education in the modern era.

Shoviyyatuz Zahro — 2026-10-30

The validity of assessment instruments is a crucial aspect in ensuring the quality of learning evaluations in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). However, there are still evaluation instruments that are developed without considering the alignment of indicators, constructs, and measurement objectives, which may result in inaccurate data. This study aims to examine the concepts, types, testing procedures, and methods for determining the validity of assessment instruments through a literature review. The method used is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained from various books, scientific journals, and relevant documents, and then analyzed descriptively. The results of the study indicate that the validity of an instrument encompasses logical validity and empirical validity, which complement each other in ensuring the accuracy of measurements. Validity testing was conducted systematically through construct definition, development of a test blueprint, expert validation, instrument pilot testing, and statistical analysis. A valid instrument is capable of producing data that is accurate, credible, and supports sound educational decision-making.

Analisis Perbandingan Tipe Kepemimpinan Otoriter dan Demokratis dalam Meningkatkan Kedisiplinan Siswa di Sekolah

Mohamad Erihadiana — 2026-10-30

This research aims to analyze and compare the effectiveness of authoritarian and democratic leadership styles in improving student discipline in schools. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using content analysis of ten reputable scientific articles published within the last decade. The results demonstrate that authoritarian leadership tends to produce only instant and fragile compliance based on fear of punishment. Conversely, democratic leadership is proven to be significantly more effective in fostering sustainable discipline by building students' intrinsic awareness through persuasive communication, dialogue, and role modeling. This democratic-transformative pattern successfully cultivates independent, responsible, and emotionally mature student characters. Therefore, democratic leadership is recommended as the primary paradigm in modern educational management to create a conducive school ecosystem.

Strategi Penyuluh Agama Islam dalam Menangkal Paham Radikalisme di Masyarakat Multikultural Desa Mukti Jaya Kecamatan Rantau Pulung

Dewi Novitasari — 2026-10-30

Religious radicalism is a social issue that threatens the harmony of multicultural communities in Indonesia. The spread of radical ideology occurs not only through social environments but also via digital media that is easily accessible to the public. This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by Islamic religious extension officers to counter radicalism within the multicultural community of Mukti Jaya Village, Rantau Pulung District. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, and documentation. The study's informants included Islamic religious extension officers, community leaders, and administrators of majlis taklim (religious study groups). The findings indicate that radicalism prevention strategies are implemented through three primary approaches: education, community outreach (dakwah), and social modeling. Islamic religious extension officers instill values of religious moderation, tolerance, and noble character through children's Quranic education (TPA), majlis taklim activities, and broader community engagement. Supporting factors include the backing of the village government, religious leaders, and the community, while a hindering factor is the tendency of a small segment of the population to limit social interaction with their immediate surroundings. The study demonstrates that Islamic religious extension officers play a crucial role as agents of religious moderation in maintaining multicultural community harmony and preventing the spread of radical ideology.
