Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka Belajar Berwawasan Moderasi Beragama di Sumenep

The emergence of intolerant understanding is due to the belief that only one's religious understanding is the most correct, while other beliefs are wrong. This phenomenon causes some people to feel "deserved" to give strict warnings, and not a few feel entitled to punish others who disagree. Therefore, intolerant understanding cannot only be resolved through seminars or workshops, but needs to be carried out massively in learning activities. The content of learning materials that have nuances of violence in religion must be balanced with an understanding to respect and care for each other. This community service activity seeks to instill the spirit of religious moderation in the learning process in the classroom which begins with compiling learning modules with nuances of moderation. Religious teachers who have been familiar with religious studies are trained and equipped with the values and character of moderation in order that they can implement independent curriculum learning based on moderation. The impacts of this community service include the preparation of Document 1 of the Independent Curriculum, the Draft Module for Religious Learning for Independent Curriculum based on Religious Moderation, and mapping of several discussions in religious materials that have the potential to give rise to extreme thoughts, including jihad, stories of war, prohibition of befriending non-Muslims, and leadership selection in Islam.

ANALISIS INTEGRASI MATERI SEJARAH DAN KEBERAGAMAAN DALAM PRAKTIK PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA

This research is motivated by Indonesia's long history based on diversity of cultures, languages, religions, ethnicities, races, and customs. The integration of historical and religious materials in educational practices in Indonesia aims to understand the learning content that will shape the character of students as grassroots individuals with a nationalist spirit and religious moral values. In this study, the author employs a qualitative literature approach by collecting various relevant data sources. The theory of multicultural education, consisting of five elements: content integration, understanding the construction process of knowledge, reducing prejudice, equity pedagogy, and strengthening school culture as well as social structure by James A. Banks, serves as the analytical foundation for this research. The results indicate that historical materials also contain teachings on being tolerant and open to various differences in race, ethnicity, tribe, and culture. History learning that incorporates religious practices will create a harmonious environment by applying the principles of mutual respect, equality, and togetherness.

Reformation and Modernity: Catholic Printing in Kerala in the Nineteenth Century

In examining the religious implications of printing, there is a scholarly consensus that Protestant Christianity, rather than Catholicism, played a central role in popularising print technology by disseminating religious materials in vernacular languages. This article builds upon this widely accepted hypothesis and seeks to explore the religious aspects of print modernity in Kerala, a southern state in India. The focus of this study is on the Catholic Church’s engagement with printing and the development of Catholic print capitalism in Kerala, with a special emphasis on the nineteenth century until the 1870s. This paper investigates how the Catholic Church interacted with and mediated with the printing press as an agent of modernity, particularly in response to the flourishing Protestant missionary engagements in the region.

Cloned Buddhas: mapping out the DNA of Buddhist heritage preservation

ABSTRACT This article considers how technological innovation transforms the value of religious materiality in Buddhist heritage reproduction projects in Japan. To illustrate the religiously and politically charged landscape of heritage care, I focus on the reproduction technologies developed by the Tokyo University of Arts researchers to create highly precise replicas of Buddhist heritage. One such ‘super clone’ replica of Japan’s National Treasure homed at Hōryūji temple in Nara – a 1400-year-old ‘Shaka Triad’ sculpture of Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha – was put on display at the Nagano Prefectural Art Museum in Japan in April 2021. The ‘cloned’ statue is a highly precise copy that goes beyond the practices of exact duplication. With the use of 3D measurement, digital modelling technologies, and advanced casting techniques, this cloned religious heritage object transports the viewer back in time to the aesthetic moment of creation and allows them to experience anew the object’s affective presence as crafted centuries ago. In drawing on this example and its potential to intervene in other religious heritage reproduction projects globally, I argue that technology transforms religious heritage to generate alternative socio-economic afterlives of Buddhist objects. By analysing the scientific narratives and processes of heritage care, I show how the religious heritage reproduction is where the aesthetic, political, and economic dimensions of Buddhist material futures are imagined and realized. It is also a space of contestation between devotion, science, and memory-oriented practices of care in transnational heritage preservation.

Retrieved Altar Cross of the Luther Church Helsinki

The topic of this article is religious materiality in a Finnish, Lutheran setting. Reflecting on the altar cross of the Luther Church Helsinki – and more specifically the elevated role the cross played in the re-opening of the church in 2016 – the article supports the argument of recent scholars that Protestant engagement with materiality is not unambiguously negative but rather ambivalent. Using James Bielo’s concept of “legitimizing frames” – i.e. boundaries or landmarks within which Protestants feel safe enough to deal with things and objects – the article suggests a so-called heritagization frame. Objects or things used within such a frame induce in people a sense of past events and experiences – preferably events in which God has made himself known in this world. This, in turn, enables people’s engagement with the objects.

The Influence of The Critical Thinking Approach on The Doomsday Faith Material on the Attitude of Hubblullah (Love of God) For Grade IX Students of SMP Pustek Serpong Kota Tangsel In 2023

Indoctrinative learning approaches are still widely used by PAI teachers. According to Aceng Kosasih, PAI material is static-dogmatic in nature, especially material related to faith, so that learning that is oriented towards critical thinking is irrelevant. The material on faith until the day it ends, for example, is the lecture method that dominates it. This is very impressive considering that religious material should not only express beliefs without a true rationale. On the other hand, the learning approach can function as a tool to understand the material without changing the principles of the faith. The aim of this research is to try to develop a learning approach based on critical thinking in fostering understanding of the material on faith until the Day of Judgment and testing its effectiveness in improving the hubbullah attitude of class IX junior high school students. This type of research is a pre-experimental model with data collection techniques such as interviews, observation, documentation and tests. The data analysis technique used for qualitative data is the Miles and Huberman model, while for quantitative data the Paired Sample T Test is used which is equipped with an N-Gain calculation to see the level of increase in hubbullah's attitude. The results of the application can be taught very well and are representative in increasing understanding and fostering students' hubbullah attitudes. This can be seen from the PAI teacher assessment showing a percentage of 100%. The influence of the critical thinking approach can be observed from the results of the Paired Sample T test with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 with a comparison value of 7.754 > 2.042 ttab which means H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Regarding the increase in hubbullah's attitude, it can be seen from the calculation of N-Gain = 0.35 with the improvement category being "medium"

The religious materiality of the world in the novel The Land of Decoration by Grace McCleen

The article discusses the novel The Land of Decoration by Grace McCleen’s applying elements of selected posthumanist theories, mainly object-oriented ontology (G. Harman, T. Morton) and new materialism (J. Bennett).
