Prosociality of Modernist Islamic Volunteers in Responding to The Semeru Volcano Eruption

Recently, there has been growing interest in the study of community responses to disasters in Indonesia at macro and meso-levels analysis while little has been paid attention to this study at the micro one or individual level. To fill the literature gap, this article aims to describe prosocial behaviors performed by volunteers involved in addressing the Semeru volcano eruption victims in Lumajang Indonesia occurred in 2021. It was a result of descriptive quantitative research involving 202 participants who identified themselves as Muhammadiyah’s volunteers involved in the humanitarian activities in addressing the natural disaster. The data collection of pro-sociality utilized a prosocial behaviors scale including five aspects: honesty, helping, cooperating, caring, and donating. The validity test of the items used corrected item-total correlation that resulted in 34 valid items, and it had a good reliability based on Cronbach’s coefficient alpha test which was 0,953. The result shows that the participants had predominantly at the moderate level of prosocial behaviors which was four-fifths of the participants. Only a small proportion placed at the high pro-sociality, likewise those who were at the low level meaning these two categories were not significant. This finding is expected to enrich literature related to the role of civil society in responding to disasters, especially at the individual level. However, some relevant topics such as relating prosocial acts to other variables need to get attention for future research to result in comprehensive empirical evidence on this issue.

Typology of 21st Century Islamic Boarding School Education (Pesantren) in Indonesia

This research examines the dynamics of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia with a focus on typology and development. Through a qualitative descriptive approach and library research, this research identified three developing typologies of Islamic boarding schools: Salaf Islamic Boarding Schools, Modern Islamic Boarding Schools, and Radical Islamic Boarding Schools. Salaf Islamic boarding schools, which are traditional Islamic boarding schools, maintain the teaching of classical Islamic books without adding to the general curriculum. The case study of the Tarbiyatun Nasyi'in Islamic Boarding School in Jombang provides an illustration of the sustainability of the Salafist model which still exists today. Modern Islamic boarding schools, represented by Pondok Modern Gontor, show transformation by incorporating a general curriculum, emphasizing Arabic and English language teaching, and managing Islamic boarding school management neatly. This phenomenon illustrates the adaptation of Islamic boarding schools to the demands of the times and general education. Radical Islamic boarding schools reflect a conservative and scriptural Islamic ideology, often involving fundamentalist views and radicalism. Case studies of Islamic boarding schools in Lamongan and Ngruki highlight the negative impact of radical thinking in the students' thinking patterns and the involvement of some alumni in acts of terrorism. This research describes the variations in educational approaches and religious views in Islamic boarding schools, reflecting the dynamics of Islam in Indonesia. With a deeper understanding of Islamic boarding school typology, this research contributes to detailing the development and role of Islamic boarding schools in shaping Islamic society in Indonesia

The Relevance of the Dars-e-Nizami Curriculum to the Development of Modern Islamic Religious Education in Pakistan

ABSTRACT
 Traditional education in Pakistan has deep and varied roots, primarily due to the cultural and ethnic diversity that exists in the country. The unstoppable flow of globalization threatens to shift cultural heritage including traditional education in Pakistan. Thus, efforts are needed so that traditional education is not abandoned and remains relevant to current developments. The aim of this research is to determine the relevance of the Dars-e-Nizami curriculum for the development of modern Islamic religious education in Pakistan. This research is field research combined with literature study. The data collection instrument used was semi-structured interviews. This research was conducted in 15 school institutions, both formal and informal, in 5 big cities in Pakistan. The results of this research found that the Dars-e-Nizami curriculum has several limitations in terms of relevance to modern needs. Islamic educational institutions retain Dars-e-Nizami for the reason that they see it as a way to preserve and inherit the classical Islamic intellectual tradition as well as to maintain a strong understanding of the Islamic religion among students. Education based on the Dars-e-Nizami curriculum still has an important place in the highly conservative and traditional Muslim community. The implications of this research are that schools in Pakistan do not abandon traditional education or curriculum, but continue to preserve it by making adjustments that are relevant to current developments
