Kebebasan Beragama sebagai Hak Asasi Manusia dalam Perspektif Hukum Islam terhadap Negara Mayoritas Muslim dalam Menyikapi Murtad

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This paper examines the concept of religious freedom as a fundamental human right from the perspective of Islamic law, with a specific focus on Muslim-majority countries such as Indonesia. The background of this study stems from the societal reality that, although religious freedom is constitutionally guaranteed and supported by Islamic principles, its implementation remains contentious, especially regarding the issue of apostasy. Employing a qualitative approach through interviews and literature review, this research explores the perceptions of religious leaders, scholars, and the general public regarding the concept of religious freedom and the challenges associated with it.

The findings indicate that Islam, in its essence, upholds religious freedom as a divine gift and a reflection of human dignity. The Qur’anic verse “There is no compulsion in religion” (Q.S. Al-Baqarah: 256) illustrates this principle. However, when dealing with apostasy, interpretations vary significantly. Traditional views tend to regard apostasy as a grave offense deserving severe punishment, whereas contemporary interpretations emphasize tolerance, human rights, and individual autonomy in matters of faith. This paper advocates for a more inclusive and context-based understanding of religious freedom, one that aligns with both Islamic ethical values and international human rights standards. It calls for constructive dialogue, religious literacy, and legal protections to foster peaceful coexistence in diverse and multicultural societies.

This research discusses the crucial need for an effective learning resource center in the digital era, by evaluating the role of the Learning Resource Center (PSB) as a strategic facility to support efficient, directed, and student-centered learning. Using a qualitative descriptive design through a literature study, this study analyzed purposively selected literature published between 2010 and 2024, using thematic reduction methods as well as inductive and deductive inference. The results of the study show that PSB is able to improve independent learning, information literacy, and collaboration through access to print and digital materials, as well as supporting innovative pedagogical models such as blended learning and flipped classrooms. However, the effectiveness of PSBs is still limited by inadequate infrastructure, lack of trained human resources, and lack of policy support. Although limited to secondary data without primary field data collection, these findings provide practical implications for educational institutions and policymakers: PSB development needs to be carried out in an integrated manner through facility improvement, human capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and digital transformation in order to be maximized. The originality of this research lies in the multidimensional synthesis of pedagogical, technological, and organizational aspects of PSB into an integrated framework for 21st century education. The results confirm that PSB is an innovative and adaptive learning center that is important for producing active, critical, and collaborative learners who are ready to face future challenges.

These discrepancies have led to suboptimal developmental stimulation for children and increased workload stress for educators. This study recommends the need for evaluation and adjustment of policies to make them more contextual, flexible, and responsive to the real needs of early childhood and the realities on the ground

Revitalisasi Pendidikan Agama sebagai Pilar Moralitas di Era Pendidikan Modern

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to evaluate the role of religious education in shaping students' morality in the era of modern education. Advances in technology and globalization have brought new challenges to the world of education, especially in maintaining moral values amidst rapid social change. Therefore, revitalization of religious education is needed so that it remains relevant in shaping students' character based on ethical and spiritual values. The research method used in this study is library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through analysis of various literature sources, including books, academic journals, national education policies, and previous research results related to religious education and morality. Data analysis was carried out using content analysis techniques, namely examining the contents of various relevant references to find patterns, relationships, and strategies that can be used in revitalizing religious education. The results of the study show that religious education still has a crucial role in building students' morality. However, the main challenges faced include the lack of innovation in teaching methods, limited use of technology in learning, and the gap between religious education theory and practice in everyday life. Therefore, religious education needs to be revitalized through a technology-based learning approach, integration of religious values with science, and strengthening the role of teachers as moral figures for students. Revitalization of religious education can be done by developing a more contextual curriculum, implementing technology-based learning methods, and increasing cooperation between educational institutions and religious communities in strengthening character education. With these steps, religious education can continue to play a role as a main pillar in building strong morality that is relevant to the challenges of the times.

Pengaruh Media Audio Visual terhadap Peningkatan Daya Ingat Anak Usia Dini dalam Menganal Huruf Alfabet di RA Al-Fatah Langkaplancar

widayanti — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to examine the effect of audio-visual media on improving early childhood memory in recognizing the alphabet at RA Al-Fatah Langkaplancar. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the pretest–posttest control group type, involving 30 children aged 5–6 years who were divided into an experimental group (using audio-visual media or “sound-enabled posters”) and a control group (using conventional methods). Data were collected through tests, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using the Independent Samples t-Test with SPSS 26.0. The findings revealed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores in the experimental group (p < 0.05), with the average score increasing from 52.47 to 76.20 (? 45.26%). This improvement was mainly attributed to the use of audio-visual media, while approximately 54.74% was estimated to be influenced by external factors, namely parental support (? 15%), a conducive learning environment (? 14%), individual child characteristics (? 13%), and the duration and consistency of media use (? 12.74%). The study’s limitations include the small sample size, being conducted in a single institution, and the absence of full randomization. These findings provide practical implications for early childhood educators to integrate audio-visual media into learning and encourage further research with stronger variable control. The novelty of this study lies in the use of “sound-enabled posters” as a simple and affordable audio-visual medium that effectively improves early childhood alphabet memory and offers contextual estimates of external factor contributions.

In today's digital era, gadgets have become an inseparable part of children's lives, even from an early age. The convenience of accessing information and entertainment through touchscreens has transformed the way children interact with their surroundings. However, behind these benefits, uncontrolled gadget use can hinder the social and emotional development of children who are at a critical stage of growth. This study aims to explore in depth the role of parents in guiding gadget use, the emotional impacts on children, and the various challenges parents face in maintaining a balance between technology and the developmental needs of their children. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with several parents and teachers at PAUDQU Miftahul Huda Pejaten. Thematic analysis was conducted to extract experiences, perceptions, and the dynamics that unfold in their daily lives. The findings indicate that although some parents have implemented rules and time restrictions for gadget usage, children still exhibit signs of dependency, such as irritability, tantrums, and a lack of interest in interacting with peers. Gadgets often become a means of escape or an “instant pacifier” when parents face limitations in time or energy for parenting. Meanwhile, the school seeks to educate parents and provide non digital activities to support the development of children's social and emotional intelligence. This study highlights the importance of close collaboration between parents, teachers, and educational institutions in forming a nurturing and adaptive parenting ecosystem in the face of technology. These findings offer significant contributions to strengthening family digital literacy and serve as an initial foundation for formulating more humane and contextually relevant early childhood education policies. To broaden the scope, further studies are recommended to involve quantitative or mixed-method approaches and include more diverse sociocultural backgrounds to gain a more comprehensive understanding

Sandri Dayani, Aang Andi Kuswandi — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The ability to recognize letters is one of the language aspects that must be developed in kindergarten children to prepare them for the next level of education. However, at RA Al Hidayah 2 Kongkur, this ability is still relatively low, as 60% of children aged 4–5 years are categorized as Not Yet Developed (NYD). This condition occurred because the previous learning process had not utilized appropriate media, one of which is the flip chart.

This study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through interviews, observations, discussions, and documentation studies. The results revealed a significant improvement in letter recognition skills. Children began to group letters based on pictures and write them according to themes independently. The percentage of children previously categorized as NYD decreased, while 67% of the children reached the category of Very Well Developed (VWD). These findings emphasize that the use of flip charts is highly effective in stimulating children’s interest, attention, and early literacy skills.

Overall, this research provides evidence that flip charts not only improve children’s letter recognition skills but also create a more enjoyable, active, and meaningful learning atmosphere. Thus, flip charts can serve as a relevant alternative learning medium for teachers to enhance children’s readiness for the next stage of education
