This study aims to explore Generation Z's adaptation to traditional values, particularly the Balinese language sor singgih in Catur Wangsa, amid social changes driven by globalization and technological advancements, from the perspective of interpersonal communication. The phenomenological approach in qualitative research is the research method used, with three data collection techniques: participant observation, unstructured interviews, and documentation. This study also uses source and technique triangulation as a data validity technique. The research informants are members of Generation Z from the five castes in Bali: Brahmana, Ksatria, Weisya, and Sudra. Research conducted across eight districts and cities in Bali indicates that Generation Z is beginning to shift its interpersonal communication patterns. Although they still uphold traditional values of politeness and social norms, Generation Z emphasizes equality and openness in their daily interactions. The generation Z that continues to use the Balinese language is segmented by social context, emotional closeness, and communication situations, rather than solely by caste differences. Furthermore, this study's findings show that the caste system is seen more as a cultural identity than a social boundary. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of preserving the values of Balinese local wisdom in the form of adaptive, egalitarian communication that is relevant to the development of the younger generation in the digital age.

English is an international language that plays an important role for students in the era of globalization; however, speaking anxiety or fear of speaking remains a major obstacle in academic practice within higher education institutions. This anxiety emerges as a complex psychological phenomenon involving cognitive, affective, and social aspects, rather than merely an issue of language proficiency. This study examines the problems faced by students, particularly those majoring in non English disciplines, in overcoming speaking anxiety in English academic settings. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews involving students of PASIM National University who exhibited varying levels of speaking anxiety. The data were analyzed using qualitative analysis techniques to identify emerging patterns and themes.The findings indicate that speaking anxiety is caused by fear of making pronunciation and grammatical errors, concern about receiving negative evaluations, limited vocabulary, and a lack of experience in communicating in English. These conditions are further exacerbated by limited opportunities for speaking practice, non-interactive learning methods, and insufficient support from teachers and peers. Students developed adaptive strategies such as relaxation techniques, thorough preparation, positive self-talk, and consistent language practice. To create a safe learning environment in which students can speak English effectively, this study proposes learning strategies that are more inclusive, supportive, and grounded in psychological principles.

This research is framed in the topic of the application of the Yanbu'a Method in Islamic Boarding Schools. The world of education is currently faced with various changes in aspects of life in society. This is due to the rapid advancement of knowledge and technology, as well as the impact of globalization that is occurring in the world. This has an impact on religious education, especially in the teaching of the Qur'an. Not a few Qur'an teachers teach how to read the Qur'an not in accordance with the tajwid or makhorijul huruf that has been taught by the Prophet Muhammad. In addition, there is one of the most prominent obstacles in the implementation of Qur'an reading education, namely in terms of the use of Qur'an teaching methods. This is very urgent to be studied because the application of inappropriate Qur'an teaching methods can result in fatal errors in the way of reading the Qur'an. research, guided by Max Weber's qualitative approach to Verstehen theory, concluded that the obstacles encountered in implementing the Yanbu'a Method were a lack of coordination between teachers, significant differences in student abilities, low student discipline in muroja'ah (religious study), and students' busy schedules outside of Quranic study hours. Optimization of the Yanbu'a Method at Tanwirul Qulub Islamic Boarding School includes teacher training and education, grouping students based on ability, strengthening evaluation and monitoring, providing learning facilities and media, consistent lesson scheduling, and increasing student motivation.

In the era of information and globalization, critical thinking skills have become an essential competence for children, including students in Islamic boarding schools. These skills include the ability to ask questions, seek and evaluate evidence, compare alternatives, and solve problems logically. Islamic boarding schools inherently provide a disciplined environment grounded in religious values that supports the development of critical thinking. However, observations at Raudlatul Hanan Islamic Boarding School reveal several challenges, such as low social sensitivity, limited constructive conflict resolution, and the absence of consistent critical thinking habits. These conditions have the potential to hinder students’ adaptability and problem-solving abilities in the future. To address these issues, a program entitled “Optimizing Children’s Critical Thinking Character through the Internalization of Socio-Environmental Sensitivity Values” was implemented using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. This approach actively involved students, ustadz/ustadzah, and Islamic boarding school administrators from problem identification through planning, implementation, and reflection. The activities included character education seminars, critical discussions, group competitions, and interviews aimed at fostering social sensitivity, reducing exclusive attitudes, and strengthening critical thinking skills from an early age. The results indicate high and enthusiastic student participation throughout all activities, leading both students and administrators to hope that the program will be implemented sustainably on an annual basis.

Leadership is a strategic factor in improving the quality of Islamic educational institutions. The challenges of social change and globalization demand leadership models that are not only managerially effective but also grounded in Islamic values. This study aims to analyze models of Islamic educational leadership and their implications for institutional quality. The research method employed is a literature review, examining books and national and international journal articles indexed in Scopus and SINTA over the last five years. The findings indicate that transformational, visionary, democratic, and prophetic leadership play a significant role in enhancing educator performance, building an Islamic organizational culture, and strengthening the governance of Islamic educational institutions. The integration of Islamic values with modern leadership principles emerges as a strategic approach to developing the quality of Islamic education.

The era of globalization and the rapid advancement of information technology have transformed the landscape of dakwah (Islamic propagation), shifting from conventional pulpits to virtual communication platforms (social media, podcasts, streaming). This transition, in line with the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, enables Islamic messages to reach a broad audience without geographical boundaries. Digital dakwah is highly relevant and urgent to research given the dominant use of social media by Muslim Youth, a group that seeks attention but also possesses a tendency toward critical thinking. This research has a dual aim: (1) to analyze the Interpretation of Muslim Youth towards virtual dakwah studies, and (2) to analyze the Effectiveness of Implementing Dakwah Studies through social media platforms. The accessibility of fragmented and competitive content makes the interpretation process active and crucial, where youth are no longer passive recipients but choose sources based on algorithms and their own interests. This study uses the Constructivism Paradigm to understand a dynamic and complex social reality, employing a Descriptive Qualitative Approach and the Online Ethnography Method. Data is collected through Observation, Interviews, and Documentation, with Data Triangulation (source, technique, and time) to ensure the validity of the findings. Social media holds great potential as an effective and inclusive dakwah tool. However, the effectiveness of its expansion must be balanced with the quality of the content and the capacity of Muslim Youth to perform critical, contextual, and responsible interpretation.

The Frankfurt School represents one of the most influential traditions of critical thought in the development of twentieth-century social theory and philosophy. This article aims to examine the impact of Frankfurt School thought particularly the ideas of key figures such as Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, and Jürgen Habermas and to analyze the relevance of their ideas within contemporary social contexts. Using a qualitative approach through an extensive literature review, this study examines key concepts such as critical theory, instrumental rationality, and the culture industry, as well as their implications for power relations, advanced capitalism, mass media, and modern democracy. The findings demonstrate that the Frankfurt School’s critique of instrumental rationality and cultural commodification remains highly relevant for understanding contemporary social problems, including digital media dominance, consumerism, and the crisis of the public sphere. This article argues that Frankfurt School thought continues to provide an essential analytical framework for critically engaging with the contradictions of modern and postmodern societies in the era of globalization and digital technology.

This study identificates the importance of singing national songs as an effort to foster a sense of patriotism among elementary school students in the era of globalization and the 4.0 industrial revolution. The weakening of nationalism among the younger generation today implies that strategies for strengthening nationalism in schools must be changed. The focus of this investigation is to examine the influence of national songs in shaping the spirit of nationalism among students. Using a descriptive qualitative method at SD Negeri 3 Menganti in Jepara Regency, data was collected through direct observation and interviews with teachers and students. The findings of the study revealed that the routine of singing the Indonesian national anthem and the Jepara march every morning succeeded in fostering discipline, pride in the homeland, and increased self-confidence among students. Although there were some obstacles in the form of a lack of mastery of the lyrics by some students, the school responded with intensive guidance and facility support. Overall, this study concluded that the consistent combination of national and local songs is a character-building and strategic educational tool in the early absorption of national values.

Honesty (ṣidq) is a fundamental moral value in Islam that serves as the foundation for personal integrity and social ethics. In the current era of globalization and growing materialistic culture, this value faces serious challenges as societal orientation shifts from moral virtue to economic achievement and social image. This study employs a narrative review method, analyzing recent literature on moral education, Islamic ethics, and contemporary social dynamics. The findings reveal that honesty functions not only as a personal virtue but also as a social force that strengthens public trust and national stability. However, the global wave of materialism has weakened the internalization of ṣidq, especially among younger generations. Restoring honesty as the moral identity of the nation requires synergy among character-based education, spiritual reinforcement, and public policies that promote transparency and integrity. The recontextualization of honesty through Islamic spiritual principles and Rokeach’s value theory offers a path toward moral recovery for Indonesian society amid the global challenges of the 21st century.

The rapid development of globalization and the acceleration of digital transformation have encouraged organizations to adopt more adaptive and collaborative work practices. In this context, collaborative culture has become a strategic element that plays a crucial role in enhancing organizational effectiveness and competitiveness. This study aims to comprehensively examine the concept, characteristics, forming factors, and theoretical foundations of collaborative culture in modern organizations. The research employs a qualitative approach through a literature review, analyzing reputable national and international journal articles, textbooks, and relevant institutional reports. Data analysis is conducted using a descriptive-analytical technique by synthesizing findings from previous studies. The results indicate that collaborative culture significantly contributes to improved communication quality, work coordination, adaptability, and both individual and organizational performance. Collaborative culture is shaped through the integration of shared vision, open communication, trust, willingness to share resources, collaborative leadership, flexible organizational structures, and the support of collaborative technologies. This study also highlights that the success of digital transformation largely depends on the strength of an effectively internalized collaborative culture. The findings are expected to provide a theoretical reference for organizations and researchers in developing sustainable collaborative culture strategies.

Global social inequality remains one of the fundamental challenges in the contemporary world economic system. The dominance of capitalist economic structures, which emphasize growth and capital accumulation, has proven effective in stimulating economic progress; however, it has simultaneously widened the gap between wealthy and disadvantaged groups at both national and global levels. Meanwhile, socialist economic systems that prioritize income equalization continue to face limitations related to efficiency and innovation. This article aims to examine the role of Islamic economics as an alternative economic framework capable of addressing the challenge of global social inequality. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review of classical and contemporary sources related to global economic systems. The findings indicate that Islamic economics offers a more balanced paradigm by integrating principles of distributive justice, ethical values, and social responsibility within economic activities. Instruments such as zakat, infaq, sadaqah, waqf, along with the prohibition of riba and other exploitative economic practices, serve as essential mechanisms for reducing social inequality. Therefore, Islamic economics holds significant potential as both a normative and practical solution for promoting sustainable global economic justice.

The development of national character is a strategic agenda in addressing moral, social, and cultural challenges in the era of globalization. Strengthening fundamental values derived from Islamic teachings is considered an important solution, particularly the values of obedience to Allah SWT, the spirit of competing in goodness (fastabiqul khairat), and work ethic. These three values play a crucial role in shaping individuals who are faithful, possess noble character, are responsible, and have high competitiveness. However, the reinforcement of these values in the practice of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at the elementary, junior high, and senior high school levels has not yet been optimally and systematically integrated. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the concepts, urgency, and strategies for integrating the values of obedience, competition in goodness, and work ethic into PAI learning. The research method employed is a literature study using a qualitative-descriptive approach through the analysis of scientific literature, curriculum documents, and relevant concepts of Islamic education. The findings indicate that the value of obedience serves as a spiritual and moral foundation for students, the value of fastabiqul khairat encourages active, collaborative attitudes oriented toward positive contributions, while work ethic strengthens discipline, responsibility, and productivity. The integration of these three values can be implemented through the development of teaching materials, the application of contextual learning methods, educators’ role modeling, and the cultivation of a religious school culture. The implications of this study affirm that integrating these values into PAI significantly contributes to the formation of a young generation with integrity and readiness to build a dignified nation.

The development of the modern world, characterized by advances in digital technology, globalization, and complex social dynamics, has created new challenges in child-rearing practices, particularly for Muslim families. Children require not only the fulfillment of physical needs and formal education, but also balanced emotional, social, and spiritual support. This study aims to examine the concept of child-rearing based on love and compassion from the perspective of Islamic psychology, identify the core principles of Islamic parenting, and explain its implications for children’s psychological development. This research employed a qualitative approach using a literature review method with a systematic literature review design. Data sources were obtained from academic books as well as nationally accredited journals and reputable international journals published between 2020 and 2024. The data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis to identify patterns, key concepts, and relationships among variables. The findings indicate that parenting grounded in love and compassion (rahmah), combined with role modeling, justice, and wisdom in discipline, contributes positively to children’s emotional, social, moral, and spiritual development. Warm and responsive Islamic parenting supports the development of effective emotional regulation, prosocial behavior, and the internalization of faith-based and moral values in children. The results also demonstrate a strong alignment between Islamic parenting concepts and the compassionate parenting approach in modern psychology, with Islamic psychology offering a distinctive strength in its spiritual dimension. This study contributes to the reinforcement of the theoretical framework of Islamic psychology and provides practical recommendations for parents and educators in implementing balanced parenting that integrates compassion, discipline, and Islamic values in the modern era.
