Dzikr Relaxation to Decrease College Student's Anxiety and Increase Happiness

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of dhikr relaxation in reducing anxiety and increasing happiness in college students. The subjects were 16 students of UIN Sunan Kalijaga aged 19-23 years. There were 2 hypotheses in this research. This research method was conducted by using quasi-experimental with a pretest and posttest control group design. Data collection tools were the HARS scale (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale), the OHQ scale (The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire), and Nexus Biofeedback. The data analysis used the Mann-Whitney U Test. The results of the first study showed that there was a difference in the anxiety score between the control group and the experimental group that took part in dhikr relaxation therapy, where the experimental group's score was greater than the control group's score as evidenced by the sig. of 0.005 (p<0.05). The results of the second study showed that there was no difference in the happiness score between the control group and the experimental group that took part in dhikr relaxation therapy, where the experimental group's score was greater than the control group's score as evidenced by the sig value. of 0.161 (p>0.05). The results of the analysis using the Nexus Biofeedback tool showed the sig. 0.028 (p<0.05). It can be concluded that dhikr relaxation was effective in reducing anxiety as indicated by a decrease in respiration frequency using the Nexus Biofeedback tool. However, dhikr relaxation has not been effective in increasing students’ happiness.

School Learning Practice Program in Improving Pedagogical Competence of Preservice Teachers

This study examines the evaluation of the learning practice program at school, specifically the practical field experience program organized by the Education Laboratory of the Tarbiyah and Teacher Training Faculty, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. This program seeks to develop the pedagogical ability of preservice teachers through hands-on experience in the field. This research employed a mixed method, also known as evaluation research. The researchers employed the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) evaluation model to assess the program's effectiveness. The findings reveal that the practical field experience program improves preservice teachers' pedagogical competence. However, it still requires improvement and development in various areas, including choosing preferred schools/madrasas, implementation time, and the number of teaching practices.

In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the practical field experience program at the FITK UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta helps develop the pedagogical competence of preservice teachers. However, it requires further improvement and development to improve program quality.

INTEGRASI KEILMUAN ISLAM HOLISTIK-INTEGRATIF PERGURUAN TINGGI DI INDONESIA

There are various ways of integrating holistic-integrative Islamic scholarship in the era of postmodernism such as in Indonesia today. This qualitative descriptive writing with a literature study aims to discuss the holistic-integrative integration of Islamic knowledge in higher education in Indonesia. The data analysis technique uses content analysis by sorting data according to the research objectives and problems. This research found the following two things. First, in essence, the integration of Islamic scholarship from holistic-integrative postmodernism-era thinkers is a criticism of the normative-theological Islamic scientific paradigm of the traditionalism era as well as a criticism of the empirical-sociological Islamic paradigm of the modernism era. Second, the essence of the integration of Islamic science in the postmodern era of religious universities in Indonesia is to end the dichotomy of science and religious science for scientific construction in the future. Several Islamic universities in Indonesia have carried out scientific integration, including UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta with the concept of Reintegration of Sciences in Islam, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta with the concept of Integration-Interconnection using the Spider Web metaphor, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang with the concept of Integration of Science in Islam with the Tree of Knowledge metaphor, UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung with the concept of Wahyu Guiding Knowledge with the wheel metaphor, UIN Alauddin Makasar with the concept of Integration and Interconnection of Science and Religious Knowledge with the metaphor of the Tree of Science Cells, and others.

The Values of Akidah Akhlak Education in the Harmonization of Sunan Kalijaga's Cultural Da'wah (Axiological Analysis of Islam and Javanese Culture)

The problem of this research is the da'wah of Sunan Kalijaga, which was based on local culture in the midst of Javanese society, which still embraced Hinduism and Buddhism at that time. The spread of Islam in Java faced theological, religious, and moral challenges because it was a new teaching. The research method used is a qualitative-library study using literature in the form of books and scientific research. The data was analyzed through descriptive analysis focusing on Sunan Kalijaga's cultural da'wah axiology. The results showed that Sunan Kalijaga's cultural da'wah involved the acculturation of Javanese culture and Islamic values, with the principles of upholding the cultural values of the Palace, enriching Islamic literature, considering social, cultural, and political stability, and being protected by the government. This da'wah's creedal and moral values include religious moderation, increasing religious harmony, and faith in Allah, the Prophet, and the Qur'an.

The Implementation of Digital Humanities in the State Islamic University Libraries in Indonesia

State Islamic University libraries are striving to become research libraries. Since humanities are the core discipline in most State Islamic Universities, a new service concept—digital humanities—has been introduced to support research activities. This study explores the implementation of digital humanities in three State Islamic University libraries: UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, and UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This research employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that while the libraries have sufficient librarians, their involvement in research activities is not extensive or proactive. Additionally, the facilities and infrastructure necessary to support digital humanities are inadequate. Although policies supporting digital humanities exist, there is a lack of strategic programs to explore and fully enhance library use and involvement in research. Furthermore, internal cooperation between institutions has been established but remains limited, indicating a need for libraries to adopt a more proactive role. These insights underscore the challenges and opportunities in implementing digital humanities within State Islamic University libraries, providing a foundation for future strategic initiatives to enhance their research support capabilities.

Active learning with research based on three principles of higher education

This study aims to determine how using an active learning model based on the three higher education principles can improve students' active learning. Qualitative research methods were applied in this study, with data collection through interviews, literature study, and observation. The results showed that active learning based on the three higher education principles was included in the "good" or "acceptable" category. The application of this model can make this campus a place with a positive academic atmosphere that enhances and supports collaboration, discussion, and positive and critical thinking. The novelty of this research lies in the use of active learning with mini-research projects, which are developed based on university principles and embody it. The hope is that this can help solve problems in the student learning process at the State Islamic University Sunan Kalijaga, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The expected implication is that the university's policy supports applying the model to resolve learning problems and build real scientists for students.

Paradigma Dakwah Kultural: Infiltrasi Nilai Ketahuidan melalui Kontruksi Karakter Puntadewa

Spreading Islam in the early Walisongo period amidst the strong establishment of the Hindu monarchy - Majapahit - was certainly not an easy thing. Adaptation and persuasion efforts were needed so that Islamic values did not encounter resistance from Javanese society at that time. One of the things that Walisongo - especially Sunan Kalijaga - did was infiltrate it through arts and culture. One of the things he did was construct a wayang character, namely Puntadewa, which incidentally was very popular with the people of his time.Using qualitative research with library research specifications, the author tries to explore how the value of monotheism is infiltrated into society through the construction of Puntadewa's character. The results of this research can be concluded that Puntadewa's position as the eldest of the Pandavas was used as an initial benchmark in infiltrating the value of monotheism into Javanese society at that time. The protagonist's typical character traits, which from the start are filled with attributes of perfection, make this step quite smooth. A series of storylines attempted in such a way as to reduce the previous values attached to the Mahabharata epic - and some of which were contrary to Islam - were actually quite successful and even without physical resistance in society at that time.

Life and Wisdom in Tembang Lir ilir and Kidung Rumekso ing Wengi: A Philosophical Analysis

The traditional Javanese songs created by Sunan Kalijaga, especially Lir ilir and Kidung Rumekso ing Wengi, have tremendous philosophical depth when associated with Javanese culture. Therefore, this research aims to explore and analyze the philosophical meaning contained in the two previous songs and find out how the spiritual messages in these songs are still relevant to the state of society in the modern era. This research uses Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic analysis to find out the deeper meaning of the text, not forgetting to also use the cultural context approach, to minimize irrelevant interpretations. For data validation, this research uses the triangulation method, where the data comes from interviews, historical records, and direct observation. In practice, the point is to explore the messages contained in the two songs, which are all sourced from the lyrics of these songs and the opinions of experts. The results show that both songs contain philosophical teachings on how to achieve wisdom and peace in every episode of human life. They also teach about the importance of establishing a good relationship with God. In addition, this study also revealed that the spiritual messages in these two songs are still relevant as a reflection of the spiritual journey of everyone in the modern era.

Disabilities Student’s Perspective in a Hybrid Learning During Covid-19 Pandemic at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta

Indonesia's education world is experiencing significant changes due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This change can be seen from the enactment of online teaching and learning activities. In the even semester of the 2021/2021 Academic Year, the COVID-19 pandemic subsided a little. This also impacts the policy of implementing learning activities, especially in the higher education environment. Responding to the Indonesian government's decision regarding the Implementation of Face-to-Face Learning for the 2021/2022 Academic Year, UIN Sunan Kalijaga also organizes lecture activities in which each lecturer can hold offline lectures together with online lectures (in the network). Learning with online and offline models at UIN SUKA is adapted to existing conditions in the field, especially for students with disabilities. This research uses structural functional theory (AGIL). The results of this study explain that students with disabilities can attend hybrid lectures even with all the limitations they have. It takes help and assistance from related parties to help run Hybrid Learning, especially for students with disabilities.

Disability and Islamic Law in Indonesia: Beyond the Rukhṣah

In the past decade, Indonesia has witnessed a surge in interest in exploring the intersection of Islam and disabilities. This trend began with a seminar at UIN Sunan Kalijaga in 2011, leading to numerous research initiatives and publications, culminating in the publication of separate Fikih Difabel by three prominent Islamic institutions. However, these works often treat disabilities as exceptions, relying heavily on exceptions (rukhṣah) rather than developing comprehensive solutions that integrate people with disabilities as full and equal members of the community. This article examines the approaches and limitations of those three Fikih Difabel and proposes a more inclusive Fikih Difabel. It advocates adoption a holistic paradigm encompassing approach, definitions, methods, and accessibility, emphasizing the need to move beyond the rukhṣah. Employing a contextual discussion on ṭahārah to illustrate my proposed approach, this article aims to encourage a more practical and comprehensive framework for addressing disabilities within fiqh in Indonesia.

Evaluating the Impact of Professional Development on STEAM Education Competency in the Industrial Revolution 5.0 Era

This research evaluates the impact of the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) program for Kindergarten educators on their understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education in the context of the Industrial Revolution 5.0 and Society 5.0. Utilizing a quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest design, the study involved fifty kindergarten teachers from the PPG Daljab (In-Service Teacher Professional Education) at FITK, UIN Sunan Kalijaga. The assessment of participants, conducted through validated instruments, focused on measuring the enhancement of pedagogical competencies in STEAM before and after the program. Results indicated a notable improvement in the teachers' competencies post-intervention. The statistical analysis, including a paired t-test, showed a significant increase in test scores from the pretest to the post-test with a t-statistic of -53.58 and a p-value of 8.54 x 10^-44, highlighting a highly significant difference and validating the effectiveness of the PPG program in bolstering STEAM educational skills. Further tests for normality and homoscedasticity confirmed the reliability and validity of the data. Despite these positive outcomes, variations in test item reliability suggest the need for ongoing evaluation and refinement of assessment tools. The study underscores the potential of structured professional development programs in enhancing teacher capabilities, particularly in adapting to the demands of modern technological and interdisciplinary educational environments. It recommends further research to explore the long-term effects of such interventions on teacher competencies and to fine-tune the assessment methodologies used. This study contributes to the understanding of effective professional development in preparing educators to integrate and excel in STEAM disciplines, aligning with the educational imperatives of contemporary technological revolutions.

VISUALISASI LIRIK LAGU “LIR ILIR” UNTUK ANAK-ANAK BERBASIS METODE DOUBLE DIAMOND

“Lir Ilir”, a folk song composed by Sunan Kalijaga, contains righteous meaning that teaches life lessons to human beings. The development of technology and information at the present time has triggered Indonesian children to be closer to and familiar with foreign cultures which may bring about negative impact on the preservation of Indonesian culture. Indonesian children become more familiar with foreign language songs rather than with Indonesian folk songs. Accordingly, the values of local culture may diminish over time when children tend to appreciate other cultures than their own one. The current study aims to create a visualization design of the lyrics of “Lir Ilir” as a complementary media of recognizing folk song to appeal mainly to children. The study employs Double Diamond design method approach. At the development phase, the cost-benefit matrix is used as a validation tool. The study results in four illustration posters employing the illustration styles of realistic, cute childlike, and spread illustrations in accordance with parts of stanzas in “Lir Ilir” lyrics. The visualization design of “Lir Ilir” may help Indonesian children to recognize, understand, and interpret the values of local cultures in Indonesia. Lyrics of Lir Ilir is one of the examples providing this purpose.

Storytelling as a Strategy to Attract Tourists Visiting the Sunan Kalijaga’s Penjamasan Pusaka Tourist Attraction

The Sunan Kalijaga’s penjamasan pusaka tourist attraction has been included in the calendar of events of Demak Tourism Service since 1976. However, tourists visiting to this tourist attraction of penjamasan pusaka have not increased significantly. This research aims to analyze the causes of the minimal number of tourists coming to this penjamasan pusaka tourist attraction. This research method uses a phenomenological approach which is used to explore detailed data on informants. The results of the research show that the dissemination of information related to Sunan Kalijaga’s penjamasan pusaka tourism attraction only relies on posters and banners so this is not effective in attracting tourist interest. Therefore, it needs an alternative step by using storytelling about the religious meaning of penjamasan pusaka. Finally, it is hoped that this storytelling will increase tourist visits so that it not only preserves this tourist attraction, but also the prosperity of the people in the destination.
