Exploring Behavioral Dimensions of Hybrid English Learning with Eco-Context in Higher Education
The rapid expansion of digital technology has transformed English language education and increased the adoption of hybrid learning in higher education. At the same time, universities are expected to integrate sustainability and global citizenship into their curricula. This study examines students’ attitudes and learning behaviours toward hybrid English learning that incorporates environmental and sustainability issues. Using a quantitative descriptive survey design, data were collected in 2024 from 109 undergraduate students at a university in Jakarta, Indonesia. An online questionnaire measured three constructs: attitudes toward hybrid English learning, hybrid learning behaviours, and learning behaviours in environmentally integrated English instruction. Data were analyzed using Cronbach’s alpha, Percent of Maximum Possible (POMP) scores, descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation coefficients. The findings revealed very high attitudes toward hybrid English learning (M = 82.55), high levels of hybrid learning behaviour (M = 79.78), and high engagement in English learning integrated with environmental issues (M = 81.03). The study demonstrates that the integration of sustainability themes strengthens student engagement, technological literacy, critical awareness, and ecological responsibility. These findings suggest that hybrid English learning can serve as an interdisciplinary pedagogical model that connects language development with sustainability literacy and global citizenship in higher education.

Enhancing ESP Students’ Reading Comprehension and Critical Thinking through Research Articles: Students’ Perspective
The increasing availability of digital knowledge resources has not been matched by the ability of students to engage effectively with academic texts in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts. This study investigated how the use of research articles as core learning materials supported knowledge construction, enhanced critical thinking, fosters student independence, and examined the role of lecturer feedback as pedagogical scaffolding. Using a qualitative case study design, the research involved 34 second-semester students in a Sharia Economic Law program, with data collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with seven purposively selected participants. Data were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The findings indicated that engagement with English-language research articles facilitates progressive knowledge construction through collaborative and independent learning processes. Group work enhanced idea exchange and comprehension, while individual tasks promoted deeper reflection and autonomy. Lecturer feedback played a crucial role in guiding analytical thinking and improving students’ evaluation of academic texts. This study highlighted the importance of integrating authentic materials, structured feedback, and balanced learning approaches to strengthen ESP students’ academic literacy and higher-order thinking skills.

Transforming Fiqh Education for the Twenty-First Century: The Role of Problem-Based and Project-Based Learning
This study examines how Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) contribute to the transformation of Fiqh Education in Islamic Higher Education. Although twenty-first-century competencies have become central to contemporary educational transformation, their integration into Islamic legal education remains relatively underexplored, particularly in relation to contextual and competency-oriented pedagogical practices. This study aims to analyze how PBL and PjBL foster the development of collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity (4Cs) while reshaping the learning dynamics of Fiqh education. The study employed a mixed-methods approach using a Sequential Explanatory Design involving 38 students in the Primary Madrasah Teacher Education Program at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Data were collected through competency assessment rubrics, classroom observations, and in-depth interviews and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative techniques. The findings indicate that PBL and PjBL positively contributed to the development of students’ twenty-first-century competencies, particularly collaboration, communication, and creativity, while critical thinking developed more gradually. The study also reveals that these active pedagogical approaches transformed Fiqh learning from a predominantly normative and lecturer-centered model into a more dialogic, contextual, collaborative, and student-centered educational process. These findings contribute to the growing discourse on competency-oriented pedagogy and demonstrate that the transformation of Fiqh Education is both feasible and necessary for responding to contemporary educational demands without diminishing its intellectual and spiritual foundations.

Negotiating Indonesian and English as Media of Instruction: Students’ Preferences and Identity in Indonesian EFL Classrooms
Bilingual instruction integrating Indonesian and English has become increasingly prominent in multilingual higher education contexts; however, students’ preferences regarding instructional language use remain underexplored. This study investigated the preferences of Indonesian university students for using Indonesian, English, or both as the medium of instruction in English language classrooms and examined the factors influencing these preferences. Employing a mixed-method sequential explanatory design, data were collected through questionnaires administered to 23 English education students (N = 23), followed by semi-structured interviews with six participants (N = 6). The findings indicated that the students generally preferred bilingual instruction over monolingual approaches. Indonesian was perceived to support comprehension, attention, emotional comfort and classroom participation, while English was associated with academic competitiveness, professional opportunities, and global communication. The study further revealed that students’ preferences were shaped by four interconnected dimensions: self-assurance, identity, glamour, and attentiveness. These findings demonstrated that the students negotiated Indonesian and English as complementary rather than competing linguistic resources within multilingual classroom interaction. The study highlights the importance of more inclusive, learner-centered, and context-sensitive bilingual instructional practices in multilingual higher education settings.

Padlet-Based Collaborative Writing and Digital Competence in EFL Academic Writing: Evidence from Indonesian Higher Education
This study addresses a limitation in digital collaborative writing research by positioning digital competence as a moderating mechanism shaping students’ participation in Padlet-based collaborative academic writing, rather than treating it as a background learner characteristic. Previous studies have mainly examined learning outcomes or engagement when using collaborative platforms, with limited attention to how differences in digital competence influence collaborative interaction processes in technology-mediated writing environments. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, this study involved 30 undergraduate students in an Academic Writing course at a private Indonesian university. Data were collected through a digital competence questionnaire, pre- and post-writing tests, and semi-structured interviews. The findings show that Padlet supported improvements in idea organization, peer interaction, and higher-order writing performance, while digital competence shaped students’ interaction strategies and participation patterns. This study contributes by demonstrating that digital competence is a key mechanism influencing collaborative writing participation in higher education digital learning environments.

The Aceh Party Across Two Decades of Elections: Political Resilience and Institutional Adaptation
Over two decades after the Helsinki peace agreement, the Aceh Party has remained a central actor under Aceh's autonomy-based political system; however, its declining electoral performance and limited gender inclusion raise important questions regarding the organizational resilience of post-conflict local parties. This study examined how internal organizational dynamics and external regulatory pressures shaped the party’s adaptation and long-term viability, with particular attention to women’s political representation. Employing a qualitative case study design, the study utilized semi-structured interviews with key political actors and analysts, complemented by documentary analysis of electoral data and regulatory frameworks. The findings indicated that elite fragmentation, limited cadre regeneration, concentration of leadership authority, and regulatory constraints undermined organizational cohesion, while the absence of structured gender-inclusive mechanisms restricted broader societal engagement. The study contended that in post-conflict autonomy settings, the durability of local parties was shaped less by their historical legitimacy and more by regularized institutional renewal, their ability to adapt, and the use of inclusive organizational practices. By integrating organizational, structural, and gender dimensions within a single analytical framework, this study offered a more comprehensive understanding of party durability and provided a basis for future comparative research in post-conflict and autonomy regions. It also highlighted the importance of aligning institutional reform with evolving societal expectations to sustain democratic legitimacy over time.

The Feasibility of Deferred Prosecution Agreements for Individual Corruption Offenders in Indonesia
Indonesia’s anti-corruption enforcement remains predominantly conviction-oriented, and the recovery of state financial losses has not been maximized. Article 4 of the Anti-Corruption Law requires prosecution to continue even after full restitution has been made, which limits prosecutorial flexibility and often results in enforcement costs that exceed the value of the losses in low-value corruption cases. This study examines the feasibility of applying Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPA) to individual corruption offenders in Indonesia. Using normative juridical research with statutory and comparative approaches, the study analyzes Indonesian legal provisions alongside DPA practices in the United Kingdom and the United States. The findings reveal that Indonesia’s current legal framework lacks a mechanism for the conditional termination of prosecution following restitution, although the prosecutorial role as dominus litis offers an institutional basis for such reform. Comparative analysis shows that a DPA combines restitution, cooperation, judicial oversight, and prosecutorial discretion within a structured legal mechanism. Consequently, this study proposes a normative-operational DPA model for individual offenders involving state financial losses below IDR 200,000,000, subject to full restitution, administrative sanctions, judicial approval, and compliance monitoring. Ultimately, this study contributes a legally feasible framework for reorienting anti-corruption prosecution away from incarceration-centered punishment toward more efficient and accountable state asset recovery.

Market-Based and Accounting-Based Financial Reporting Quality and Investor Decision-Making: Evidence from Indonesian Manufacturing Firms
The rapid growth of investors in emerging capital markets is not always accompanied by improvements in financial reporting quality, raising concerns about the role of financial information in investor decision-making. This study examined the influence of market-based and accounting-based financial reporting quality on investor decision-making in manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using a quantitative explanatory design, the study analyzed panel data from 132 firms during 2018–2023, resulting in 792 firm-year observations. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that the quality of both market-based and accounting-based financial reporting positively and significantly influence investor decision-making. However, market-based quality exerted a greater impact, suggesting that investors relied more on information conveyed by market mechanisms than on internal accounting characteristics. The study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that financial reporting quality operates as a multidimensional construct with complementary, yet asymmetrical effects on investor behavior. The findings emphasize the importance of improving not only accounting quality but also the timeliness and market relevance of financial information in emerging capital markets.

Donation Intention and Behavior in Indonesian Digital Crowdfunding: Integrating Social Presence and Interpersonal Behavior Theories
The rapid digitalization of Islamic social finance has transformed philanthropic practices, particularly through digital crowdfunding platforms that mediate zakah, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf donations. Despite technological advancement, donor participation in digital channels remains uneven, indicating a persistent gap between intention and actual donation behavior. This study examines the determinants of donation intention and behavior on Indonesian digital crowdfunding platforms by integrating the Theory of Interpersonal Behavior (TIB) and Social Presence Theory (SPT). Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey of 440 active donors across four major Indonesian cities and analyzing the data with SEM-PLS, the study investigates the roles of motivational, relational, and contextual factors. The findings show that attitude, affection, social factors, and religiosity significantly influence donation intention, while intention and trust are the primary drivers of actual donation behavior. Social presence, facilitating conditions, and habits do not exert direct effects on behavior; however, facilitating conditions significantly strengthen the intention–behavior relationship. These results highlight that digital donation behavior is shaped not only by technological access but also by emotional engagement, social embeddedness, and institutional trust. By clarifying the moderating role of facilitating conditions, this study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of digital philanthropy and offers insights for developing sustainable, trustworthy, and context-sensitive crowdfunding platforms in Muslim-majority societies.

Conceptualizing Patience in Islamic Literature and Positive Psychology
The development of Islamic psychology in Indonesia increasingly demands integrative frameworks that bridge local cultural heritage and contemporary psychological theory. This study aimed to comparatively examine the concept of patience as articulated in Gurindam Dua Belas by Raja Ali Haji, rooted in Islamic moral values, and the framework of Sarah Schnitker within Western positive psychology. Employing a qualitative comparative design based on library research, this study analyzed classical literary texts and key psychological works using content analysis to identify convergences and divergences in conceptualizing patience. The findings revealed three core dimensions of patience—self-awareness, social interaction, and beneficial values—which correspond respectively to interpersonal patience, life hardship patience, and daily hassles patience in Schnitker’s model. While Raja Ali Haji emphasized patience as obedience to God and moral self-restraint, Schnitker highlighted human agency, emotional regulation, and adaptive coping in facing life challenges. Despite these epistemological differences, both perspectives converged in viewing patience as a multidimensional form of self-regulation essential for personal resilience and social harmony. This study contributes theoretically by integrating Islamic literary psychology with positive psychology and offers practical implications for culturally grounded counseling, character education, and mental health interventions within the Indonesian context.

Aligning Prosecutorial Responsibility and Authority: Strengthening the Dominus Litis Principle in Indonesia
Despite the formal recognition of the dominus litis principle, weak prosecutorial control over investigations continues to undermine legal certainty in Indonesia’s criminal justice system. Existing studies largely focus on prosecutorial discretion and restorative justice, leaving the relationship between prosecutorial responsibility, authority, and investigative accountability underexplored. This study examines the juridical implications of limited supplementary investigation authority and its consequences for the effective implementation of the dominus litis principle. Employing a normative juridical approach, the study analyzes statutory regulations, legal doctrines, judicial interpretations, and relevant scholarly literature concerning prosecutorial authority and criminal justice governance. The findings indicate that the ineffective implementation of dominus litis originates from a structural misalignment between prosecutorial responsibility and authority, reinforced by normative weaknesses in Articles 109 and 110 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP). By advancing a responsibility–authority alignment perspective, this study reframes supplementary investigation authority as an institutional mechanism for strengthening accountability, legal certainty, and effective criminal justice governance.

Cultural Genealogy of Sufism in the Rejang Muslim Community: An Anthropological-Historical Study
The persistence of Sufism within local Muslim communities presents an important challenge to institutional-centered perspectives that often reduce Islamic spirituality to formal ṭarīqa structures and doctrinal practices. In the Indonesian context, limited attention has been paid to how Sufi values survive and reproduce themselves through culturally embedded mechanisms within indigenous societies. This study sought to explore the genealogy of Sufism within the Rejang Muslim community in Bengkulu and analyze how Sufi values are transmitted, localized, and maintained through cultural practices and communal life. It employed a qualitative descriptive–exploratory approach using interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving religious leaders, traditional leaders, and community members in Rejang Lebong Regency. Data were analyzed thematically through a genealogical and cultural approach. The findings revealed that Sufism in the Rejang community operated not primarily through formal institutional structures, but through oral traditions, communal rituals, language, and everyday social interaction. Sufi values such as humility, patience, sincerity, and social harmony were continuously reproduced through culturally embedded practices that reinforce collective identity and communal cohesion. This study contributes to broader discussions on cultural Sufism, lived Islam, and the localization of religious traditions within indigenous Muslim societies.

From Ethnocentrism to Cosmopolitanism: Exploring Tourist Motivationthrough Cultural Intelligence and Global Literacy
International travel motivation is often explained through binary cultural orientations, with ethnocentrism viewed as a barrier and cosmopolitanism as a facilitator of global mobility. This study aims to reassess this assumption by examining international travel motivation through an integrated framework that combines cultural orientations and global competence perspectives. Adopting a quantitative approach, this study uses survey data collected from Chinese tourists and analyzes the data through moderated regression analysis to examine the direct effects of ethnocentrism and cosmopolitanism on international travel motivation, as well as the moderating roles of global literacy and cultural intelligence. The findings reveal that both ethnocentrism and cosmopolitanism positively influence international travel motivation. Global literacy significantly strengthens these relationships, indicating its role as a key cognitive mechanism enabling culturally rooted individuals to engage in global mobility. In contrast, cultural intelligence does not show a significant moderating effect, suggesting that its relevance lies primarily in post-travel adaptation rather than in the formation of travel intentions. This study contributes by reconceptualizing tourist ethnocentrism as a conditional motivational resource and by clarifying the distinct roles of global literacy and cultural intelligence within global competence research, with implications for tourism policy and international mobility in globalizing societies.

Collaborative Pentahelix Governance and Environmental Literacy Development in Mangrove Ecotourism
Despite the ecological value of mangrove ecotourism, environmental degradation due to waste accumulation and intense anthropogenic pressures remains a critical challenge in Karangsong Beach, Indonesia. While the Pentahelix model is recognized for destination management, its potential as a pedagogical tool for behavioral change remains underexplored. This study investigates how the Pentahelix synergy fosters comprehensive environmental literacy. Employing a qualitative case study through interviews, observations, and document analysis, the findings reveal that synergy enhances awareness through functional roles: academics provide scientific validation, the private sector provides vital funding and infrastructure, the government ensures regulation, the community leads operations, and the media amplifies educational narratives. Crucially, this study reconceptualizes collaboration as a structured “pedagogical mechanism” that transforms abstract ecological knowledge into practical conservation behavior. This research presents the “Karangsong Model” as a scalable governance framework for the Global South, demonstrating that long-term, sustainable conservation requires a hybrid architecture that seamlessly integrates economic incentives and educational responsibilities.

Cultural Convergence: The Impact of the Korean Waveon Indonesian Sociocultural Landscapes
The Korean Wave (Hallyu) has emerged as a powerful global cultural phenomenon, yet its localized sociocultural implications in non-Western societies remain underexplored. This study investigated how Korean cultural products were received and adapted within Indonesian society through the lens of remote acculturation. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, secondary data were collected via the Publish or Perish (PoP) application and were visualized using VOSviewer for thematic mapping. The findings identified four major sociocultural outcomes: Korean language trends, halal-certified Korean cuisine, K-hijab (a fusion of Korean fashion and Islamic modesty), and the K-beauty phenomenon. These outcomes revealed a dominant pattern of sociocultural competence in mainstream culture, highlighting how Indonesian consumers, particularly Muslim youth, selectively adapted foreign cultural elements to fit religious and cultural norms. The study contributes to theoretical understandings of mediated cultural flows by emphasizing the outcome-oriented nature of remote acculturation and its role in shaping identity, lifestyle, and consumer behavior in multicultural contexts. It also offers practical implications for cross-cultural communication, soft power strategies, and culturally sensitive product adaptation in global markets.

From Internalization to Social Norms: An Integrative Model of Religious Moderation in Rural Indonesia
Religious moderation is critical to fostering social cohesion in rural Indonesian communities, where differences in beliefs and practices can occasionally cause conflict. This study develops and evaluates a model for internalizing religious moderation that incorporates four critical societal elements: family, school, community, and government. The approach supports the fundamental ideals of justice, tolerance, patriotism, and reconciliation. To investigate how these values are nurtured in rural settings, data were collected using a qualitative case study technique, including observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that religious moderation is internalized in three stages: value transformation, in which individuals are introduced to moderation principles; value transaction, in which these principles are practiced and exchanged within social environments; and value trans-internalization, in which moderation becomes a deeply ingrained part of communal life. Furthermore, three essential approaches (understanding, habituation, and role modelling) help establish these values and promote a culture of moderation. By supporting these ideas, societies experience fewer religious conflicts and increased social cohesion, resulting in long-term stability and harmony.

Formation of Socially Caring Character and Humble Behavior Through Arabic Language Learning in Islamic High Schools
The growing disconnect between academic achievement and students’ moral-social development has become a major challenge in contemporary Islamic education, particularly as character formation often remains detached from everyday classroom practice. Although Arabic language learning contains ethical, spiritual, and social dimensions rooted in Islamic traditions, it is still predominantly positioned as a technical-linguistic subject emphasizing grammar and language proficiency. This study aims to examine how Arabic language learning functions as a pedagogical medium for fostering social awareness and humble behavior among students in Islamic secondary schools. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this study involved 45 informants consisting of school leaders, Arabic language teachers, and students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, and then analyzed using the interactive model of Huberman and Saldaña. The findings reveal that social awareness and humility are cultivated through value-oriented classroom interaction, reflective dialogue, collaborative learning, teachers’ role modeling, and school-based social activities integrated into Arabic language instruction. Ultimately, this study reconceptualizes Arabic language learning as a morally mediated social practice and positions Arabic teachers as moral agents shaping students’ ethical dispositions within Islamic educational contexts.

Building Digital Pedagogical Expertise in Online and Flipped Learning: Insights from a Visiting Scholar Experience
The increasing adoption of online and flipped learning in higher education has focused primarily on student outcomes, leaving limited understanding of how educators develop digital pedagogical expertise through direct engagement with these instructional models. This study examined how a visiting scholar engaged in online and flipped learning practices, the dimensions of digital pedagogical expertise that emerged, and the contextual factors shaping this development. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, the study explored the experiences of a visiting lecturer at an Australian public university over one academic semester, complemented by learner perspectives from a postgraduate student. Data were collected through artifact analysis, non-participant observations, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that professional learning occurred through guided participation in integrated online–flipped instructional ecosystems, leading to the development of key competencies, including instructional transparency, guided autonomy, and multimodal feedback practices. The study also highlighted the significant role of institutional infrastructure, cultural expectations, and learning environments in mediating this process. This study concluded that digital pedagogical expertise was developed through structured experiential participation within authentic teaching contexts, rather than through technical training alone, offering important implications for faculty development and the design of digital pedagogy in higher education.

Linking Goal Orientation and Resilience to Academic Integrity through Behavioral Learning
Academic integrity remains a persistent challenge in higher education, particularly within learning environments characterized by performance pressure and diverse socio-cultural contexts. This study examines how goal orientation and academic resilience shape academic integrity through the mediating role of behavioral learning among university students in Malaysia and the Philippines. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 326 undergraduate students across three universities and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). The findings demonstrate that both goal orientation and academic resilience exert significant positive effects on behavioral learning and academic integrity. Behavioral learning was confirmed as a key mediating mechanism through which psychological dispositions are translated into ethical academic conduct. Cross-national analysis further reveals contextual variation: in Malaysia, structured learning systems and strong institutional regulation amplify the role of behavioral learning, whereas in the Philippines, academic resilience plays a more prominent role in sustaining academic integrity. These results contribute to a process-oriented understanding of academic integrity and underscore the importance of context-sensitive, learning-centered strategies in promoting ethical academic behavior in higher education.

Campus Artistic Atmosphere and Student Learning Performance: Evidence from Guangxi Universities
This study examines the relationship between campus artistic atmosphere and student learning performance in universities in Guangxi, China. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 420 undergraduate students through stratified random sampling across academic disciplines and year levels. The study measured campus artistic atmosphere through three dimensions: artistic environment, participation in artistic activities, and artistic perception and resonance. Learning performance was evaluated based on learning motivation, behavior, cognitive ability, and learning outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stratified linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that campus artistic atmosphere significantly predicts student learning performance (β=.779, p<0.001), explaining 60.7% of the variance in learning outcomes. Although students generally reported positive perceptions of campus artistic atmosphere, actual participation in artistic activities and intrinsic learning motivation remained relatively limited. The study argues that an artistic atmosphere becomes educationally meaningful not merely through aesthetic exposure but through emotional engagement and participatory interaction. The findings highlight the importance of culturally responsive and emotionally supportive educational environments in strengthening student engagement and holistic learning development, particularly in multicultural and resource-constrained higher education contexts.

Platform-Driven Misrepresentation of Muslim Women on Instagram: Religious Commodification in Indonesia’s Beauty Industry
Instagram has become a major platform shaping the visibility of Muslim women in Indonesia’s beauty industry, where aesthetic appeal, religious symbolism, and commercial promotion are closely connected. Existing studies have discussed Muslim women’s identity performance, modest fashion, and influencer culture, but limited attention has been given to how misrepresentation is systematically produced through visual and discursive practices. This study aims to analyse how Muslim women are represented through the intersection of objectification and religious commodification within Instagram’s influencer economy. Using qualitative Critical Discourse Analysis, this study examines Instagram posts from five Indonesian Muslim women influencers, including images, captions, and audience interactions. The analysis reveals that physical appearance and religious identity function simultaneously as marketable resources, positioning Muslim women as aesthetic objects and symbolic carriers of religiosity in promotional practices. Beauty, modest fashion, luxury consumption, and domestic roles dominate representation, while intellectual and socio-cultural contributions receive limited visibility. This pattern indicates that misrepresentation is driven by platform visibility regimes, algorithmic selection, and commercial imperatives that transform religiosity into digital labour and reinforce gender inequality in digital environments.

Becoming a Christian Minangkabau in Indonesia: The Struggle Between Identity and Religious in the Land of Migration
This study aimed to explore the experiences of Minangkabau individuals who converted to Christianity and to analyze how they negotiate ethnic identity, social belonging, and family relationships after religious conversion. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight Minangkabau converts residing in Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Medan, Ambon, and Makassar and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that conversion occurred through diverse pathways, including interfaith marriage, emotional attachment, personal conviction, and prolonged interaction within religiously diverse environments. Despite experiencing varying levels of family resistance and social exclusion, participants continued to maintain kinship ties, cultural attachments, and a strong sense of belonging to the Minangkabau community. The study demonstrated that religious conversion did not necessarily diminish ethnic identity but instead generated an ongoing process of identity negotiation and social adaptation. These findings contribute to the anthropology of religion and identity studies by showing that cultural belonging can persist despite significant religious transformation, giving rise to what this study conceptualizes as a “New Minangkabau” identity in increasingly plural social contexts.

Beyond Classroom Learning: Institutionalizing Mental Revolution Values in Indonesian State Islamic Senior High Schools
State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri/MAN) play a strategic role in strengthening students’ character and ethical development in Indonesia. This study investigates the strategies used to internalize mental revolution values in learning at four MAN in Indonesia: MAN 3 Jakarta, MAN 1 Kulon Progo Yogyakarta, MAN 1 Banda Aceh, and MAN 4 Aceh Besar. Employing a qualitative approach within a postpositivist paradigm, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving four principals and twenty teachers. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, coding, data display, and interpretation. The findings reveal six interrelated strategies for implementing mental revolution values: integrating values into classroom learning, developing a conducive madrasah culture, applying student-centered learning, using cooperative learning models, strengthening teacher exemplarity, and organizing self-development activities. The implementation focused on three core values—integrity, work ethic, and mutual cooperation—which contributed to strengthening students’ discipline, responsibility, creativity, optimism, and social solidarity. This study offers a multidimensional framework for institutionalizing national values within Islamic education and provides a relevant model for global discussions on value-based education and moral citizenship.

Educational Hybridity and Ideological Negotiation in Integrated Islamic Kindergartens in Indonesia
The rapid expansion of Integrated Islamic Kindergartens (TK IT) in Indonesia reflects broader transformations in the relationship between religion, education, and state governance in contemporary Muslim societies. However, existing studies on Sekolah Islam Terpadu (SIT) have largely focused on curriculum implementation and educational management, with limited attention to how these institutions negotiate hybridity between Islamic ideology and formal state education systems. This study aimed to examine the forms and practices of hybridity within TK IT in Padang City, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving six TK IT affiliated with JSIT, ASESI, and non-affiliated institutions. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis based on the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings revealed three dominant forms of hybridity: integrative hybridity in TK IT JSIT, selective-defensive hybridity in TK IT ASESI, and adaptive-pragmatic hybridity in non-affiliated TK IT. These forms of hybridity were reflected in curriculum integration, institutional governance, pedagogical practices, and moral regulation. This study contributes to hybridity scholarship by demonstrating that hybridity within Islamic education involves ideological negotiation, identity construction, and epistemological reconstruction. The findings also provide broader insights into contemporary debates on faith-based education, Islamic educational modernity, and state-religion relations in Muslim societies.

Modeling Systemic Policy Priorities in Community-Based Non-Formal Education: A Hybrid Delphi–ISM–ANP Approach in Indonesia
Community-Based Non-Formal Education (CB-NFE) in Indonesia continues to face structural challenges related to fragmented governance, policy inconsistency, and unstable operational funding, limiting its contribution to inclusive lifelong learning and community empowerment. This study aimed to identify critical development factors and determine strategic policy priorities to improve the sustainability of CB-NFE. The research employed a sequential hybrid approach integrating Delphi, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), MICMAC, and Analytic Network Process (ANP). Data were collected through expert judgment involving 12 participants from academia, government institutions, and non-formal education practitioners. The findings revealed that policy synchronization and operational funding support functioned as the primary structural drivers of CB-NFE development, while tutor certification and professional development emerged as the most influential strategic leverage for improving broader systemic outcomes. These findings suggested that strengthening human capital can generate a greater systemic impact than isolated regulatory interventions. The study contributes to network-based policy analysis in non-formal education and offers strategic implications for strengthening community-based lifelong learning systems in decentralized governance contexts.

Assessing Students’ Computational Thinking AbilityBased on Mathematical Reasoning
Despite the growing emphasis on twenty-first-century competencies, assessment practices in mathematics education have not sufficiently captured theintegration of computational thinking and mathematical reasoning. This study aims to develop and validate the SMART-CT instrument as a multidimensional assessment framework for evaluating computational thinking within mathematical reasoning contexts among senior high school students. The instrument was developed using the ADDIE model and validated through expert judgment, second-order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), reliability analysis, and Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) based on data collected from 1,218 students. The results demonstrate that the instrument exhibits strong psychometric qualities, including satisfactory model fit, high internal consistency (α = 0.861), and adequate measurement precision within the ability range of θ = −0.5 to +1.0, although reduced sensitivity was observed at higher ability levels. By conceptualizing computational thinking as an integral component of mathematical reasoning and operationalizing it within a multidimensional measurement framework, this study contributes to the advancement of more authentic and process-oriented assessment practices in mathematics education.

Developing an Ethno-Ecotourism Environmental Education Model for Sustainable Coastal Tourism in Aceh Indonesia
Tourism expansion in environmentally sensitive coastal areas continues to intensify ecological pressures, while conventional environmental education often remains disconnected from indigenous socio-cultural realities. Although customary institutions have long contributed to environmental stewardship, limited research has transformed indigenous governance into a structured educational framework for sustainable tourism. This study aimed to develop and validate an Ethno-ecotourism-based Environmental Education Model that operationalizes Acehnese customary institutions as pedagogical mechanisms for sustainability education. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach through the Four-D framework and a sequential explanatory mixed-method design, data were collected through interviews and observations involving 15 key informants, expert validation by seven specialists, and practicality testing with 30 tourism practitioners. Qualitative data were analyzed using the interactive model of Huberman and Saldaña, while quantitative data were examined using descriptive statistics. The findings indicated that the model was both valid and practical, with the social system emerging as its strongest component. The study demonstrated that indigenous governance could serve as an educational infrastructure that strengthened environmental responsibility, community-based conservation, and sustainable tourism. By integrating customary law into a validated pedagogical framework, this research contributes to the theory of environmental education and provides a culturally responsive pathway to sustainability in indigenous and coastal communities.

Cultivating Early-Age Independence in Indonesian Islamic Boarding Schools: A Case Study from Pesantren Mambaul Hisan
The development of independence among early-age Santri in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools presents a unique educational challenge due to their young age and reliance on adult supervision. This study investigated how structured pedagogical strategies—modeling, mentoring, and motivation—were employed to cultivate independence among 5- to 6-year-old students at Pesantren Mambaul Hisan (Mamhis). Using a qualitative case study design with interviews and field observations, the research revealed a systematic transition to self-reliance facilitated by three core strategies: direct exemplification, guided assistance, and motivational reinforcement. The novelty of this study resided in its exploration of these strategies within the context of residential Islamic education, a domain that was infrequently examined in early childhood research. The findings showed that age-based admission policies, combined with consistent scaffolding, gradually empower Santri to manage daily responsibilities while aligning with religious and cultural values. Theoretically, the study extends ecological systems and self-determination perspectives into pesantren education. Practically, it offers information to policy makers and educators in designing caretaker training and integrating independence building into character education. Despite its limited scope, this study highlights pesantren as a culturally grounded model for fostering early independence and calls for comparative and longitudinal research to broaden understanding.

Code-Mixing as an Epistemological Strategy in Arabic Semantic Learning: An Ethnopedagogical Study in Indonesian Higher Education
The growing emphasis on culturally responsive pedagogy has highlighted the need to integrate indigenous knowledge into language education; however, limited attention has been given to how local cultural values can function as epistemological resources in Arabic semantic learning. This study examines how code-mixing serves as an epistemological strategy for connecting Arabic semantic concepts with the indigenous values of Gorontalo, Indonesia, namely tulodu (exemplary conduct), lo lipu (social affection), and momuliyo (dignified patience). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis involving Arabic language lecturers and undergraduate students at an Islamic higher education institution. The data were analyzed using an integrated framework combining Muysken’s code-mixing typology, contextual semantics, and ethnopedagogical principles. The findings reveal that code-mixing functions not merely as a linguistic practice but as a pedagogical and epistemological mechanism that contextualizes meaning, facilitates semantic comprehension, and promotes moral and cultural internalization. By linking abstract Arabic concepts with culturally familiar references, learners develop deeper cognitive, affective, and reflective engagement with language. The study contributes to the advancement of multilingual education and ethnopedagogical scholarship by demonstrating how indigenous knowledge can enrich semantic learning and offers a culturally grounded model for language education in multicultural and religiously diverse contexts.

Teacher Performance in State Madrasah Aliyah: Classroom Management, Work Motivation, and Assessment Competence
Teacher performance has become a central issue in improving the quality of Islamic secondary education, particularly within the Madrasah Aliyah state that faces increasing demands for educational accountability, instructional effectiveness, and professional teacher competency. This study examined the influence of classroom management ability, work motivation, and cognitive assessment competence on teacher performance in urban-based state Madrasah Aliyah in Banten Province, Indonesia. Using an explanatory quantitative design with a cross-sectional survey approach, data were collected from 313 teachers selected through simple random sampling from a population of 529 teachers. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that classroom management ability, work motivation, and cognitive assessment competence had positive and significant effects on teacher performance, both partially and simultaneously. Among these variables, cognitive assessment competence emerged as the strongest predictor of teacher performance. The study further demonstrated that teacher performance in faith-based education systems should be understood as a multidimensional construct shaped by the interaction among pedagogical competence, professional motivation, and assessment literacy. This research contributes to the development of competency-based teacher evaluation models within Islamic secondary education and strengthens the global discourse on teacher professionalism in faith-based education systems.
