2024-08-29T13:38:56+00:00

Cultural and religious values are integral to the life of the Minangkabau people. However, many studies have not considered integrated counseling with Minangkabau values and culture. For this reason, this research aims to analyze articles related to integrated counseling studies of Islamic values and Minangkabau culture. This study uses a literature review approach and internet search engines such as Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and Academia.edu to find articles related to the study theme. This research is the first literature review research to examine integrated counseling with Islamic values and Minangkabau culture. The research results show that studies related to integrated counseling with Islamic values and Minangkabau culture are still minimal. The results of this study have resulted in the discovery of eleven articles related to the theme studied. Nine articles have the theme of counseling and Minangkabau culture, and only two discuss counseling, Islam, and Minangkabau culture. The results of this research can be used as a reference for future researchers. They can also be a reference for the government to pay attention to local wisdom values in solving community problems in West Sumatera.

Challenges in Implementing the Scientific Paradigm at UIN Imam Bonjol Padang: A Case Study of the Constitutional Law Study Program

2024-09-19T08:53:36+00:00

This study examines the challenges in implementing the scientific paradigm of Universitas Islam Negeri Imam Bonjol Padang (UIN IB Padang) in the Constitutional Law Study Program (Siyāsah Shar’iyyah). A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation for data collection. The findings reveal that UIN IB Padang adopts an interaction-dialogical paradigm, which has been implemented in the Constitutional Law Study Program (Siyāsah Shar’iyyah), as reflected in the curriculum structure. However, this implementation remains formalistic, as lecturers have not fully applied the paradigm in teaching. This is due to the lecturers' lack of updated knowledge regarding the interaction-dialogical paradigm and the absence of specific teaching guidelines provided by UIN IB Padang. Additionally, the development of the Constitutional Law Study Program (Siyāsah Shar’iyyah) faces challenges within the context of Indonesian Constitutional Law. This study recommends that UIN IB Padang develop a guideline for implementing the interaction-dialogical paradigm and establish a dedicated institution to support its application and development.

Cultural Interaction of Bengkulu City Communities with Muhammadiyah Education in History Context

2024-08-14T05:06:32+00:00

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the interaction between the culture of the people of Bengkulu City and Muhammadiyah education from a historical perspective, especially related to the controversy over the acceptance of religious purification teachings and the contribution of Muhammadiyah education to traditions that have long existed in society. This research was carried out using a historical approach through information from the figures involved and knowing the history of the development of Muhammadiyah education in Bengkulu City and several other primary and secondary sources. The study results found that Muhammadiyah education in Bengkulu City began with a debate between Muhammadiyah figures and kaum tuo (the old generation). Muhammadiyah's teachings focus on the purification of Islamic teachings in the culture of the Bengkulu City community, which contained many mystical and polytheistic (shirk) elements. Finally, the approach of Muhammadiyah figures led to cultural interaction with Islamic teachings as long as they did not conflict with Islamic teachings in religious activities, death, marriage, art, music, and curriculum in Muhammadiyah educational institutions through local cultural content. This research has implications for developing a curriculum based on local cultural values so that it can improve character and identity among students.

Abstrak

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis interaksi antara budaya masyarakat Kota Bengkulu dengan pendidikan Muhammadiyah dalam perspektif sejarah, khususnya terkait dengan kontroversi penerimaan ajaran pemurnian agama dan kontibusi pendidikan Muhammadiyah terhadap tradisi yang telah lama ada di masyarakat. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah melalui informasi dari tokoh-tokoh yang terlibat dan mengetahui sejarah perkembangan pendidikan Muhammadiyah di Kota Bengkulu dan beberapa sumber primer dan sekunder lainnya. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa awal masuknya pendidikan muhammadiyah di Kota Bengkulu menjadi perdebatan antara tokoh muhammmadiyah dan kaum tuo (generasi tua) karena ajaran Muhammadiyah menginginkan adanya pemurnian ajaran Islam pada budaya masyarakat Kota Bengkulu yang banyak mengandung unsur mistik dan kesyirikan, dengan pendekatan tokoh Muhammadiyah akhirnya terjadi interaksi budaya dengan ajaran Islam sepanjang tidak bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam dalam aktivitas keagamaan, kematian, perkawinan seni, musik dan kurikulum di lembaga pendidikan muhammadiyah melalui muatan budaya lokal. Penelitian ini berimplikasi pada pengembangan kurikulum yang berbasis nilai budaya lokal agar mampu meningkatkan karakter dan identitas di kalangan siswa.

Reconstruction of Theological Narrative: Integration of Local Wisdom into Religious Practices for Social Cohesion in Multicultural Societies of Southeast Asia

2024-11-15T04:07:15+00:00

This paper addresses the integration of local wisdom into theological narratives to enhance social cohesion in multicultural societies. The main question focuses on how religious teachings can adapt to local cultural values, making them more relevant and inclusive. Despite previous studies highlighting the benefits of this integration, a comprehensive analysis of its practical implications remains limited. This research contributes a novel perspective by systematically reviewing existing literature to establish patterns and themes that support social harmony through contextual theology. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, the study identifies strategies, challenges, and outcomes of incorporating local traditions into religious practices. The findings of the study suggest that the adaptation of theological narratives to local cultures has the potential to improve social harmony and reduce tensions between groups. This integration also enriches religious practices, making them more inclusive and contextual according to the cultural characteristics of the local community. The conclusion of this study offers new insights into contextual theology in plural societies, where local wisdom plays a vital role in creating peace and social harmony.
