The relationship between Islam and democracy has been a complex and often debated topic, particularly in Muslim-majority countries. This research aims to explore the compatibility between Islamic principles and democratic values using Indonesia as a case study. As one of the largest Muslim countries in the world, Indonesia offers a unique context in integrating religious teachings with the modern democratic system. Through qualitative methods that included a Google Form-based survey and a literature review of academic articles and journals, this research found that the majority of respondents (70%) believe that democratic values are in line with Islamic teachings, such as justice, deliberation and equality. However, the research also identified a number of challenges that Indonesia faces in harmonizing the two concepts. The main challenges include differences in the interpretation of Islamic law, difficulties in balancing sharia law with secular law, and the issue of political pluralism. In addition, factors such as intolerance, radicalism and identity politics often become obstacles in creating harmony between religious and democratic values. Despite these obstacles, Indonesia has made significant progress through moderation, strengthening civil society, and successfully managing religious and cultural diversity. Local traditions such as deliberation, gotong royong and pluralism provide a strong foundation for building an inclusive democratic system. This approach is not only relevant for the Indonesian context, but can also serve as a model for other Muslim-majority countries seeking to integrate religion and democracy. This research offers a new contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of the relationship between Islam and democracy, and highlights the importance of civil society strengthening, pluralism education, and the adaptation of religious values in the context of modern democracy. With the results obtained, this research is expected to be a reference for other Muslim countries in creating harmonious and sustainable political governance.

STEM-based teaching can be challenging as it requires the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in one lesson. Selecting an engaging topic involving students’ experiences with current issues can be helpful in this regard. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a relevant and impactful topic that may facilitate students’ communication skills. This research aimed to evaluate the Reform Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) using a STEM approach to address SDGs and to improve students’ communication skills. This research employed quantitative approach to measure an instrument for teaching STEM through the lens of SDG-related issues in the science learning. The process included creating the items, reviewing the RTOP, and testing these items with participants who are the representatives of the intended users. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to measure the structural correlations among items and topics and assess their internal reliability. The results identified five factors in the RTOP evaluation: developing scientific topics (8 items), skills in conveying specific examples (5 items), use of scientific language terms (2 items), representative forms of scientific evidence (2 items), and involving the STEM approach (2 items). The reliability of the RTOP, as indicated by Cronbach’s Alpha, was 0.818. Based on these findings, the research concludes that the RTOP is both valid and reliable, and can be implemented in the classroom to teach STEM and SDGs, thereby improving students’ communication skills.

Employee engagement is a crucial factor in organizational success, particularly in the dynamic and competitive technology sector. Traditional approaches, such as financial incentives, often fail to create sustainable intrinsic motivation, necessitating innovative solutions such as gamification. This study aims to analyze the role of gamification in enhancing employee engagement through the implementation of digital platforms in medium-sized technology companies. The research employs a case study methodology with a qualitative approach, involving in-depth interviews with 15 informants, including employees and managers, as well as user activity data analysis from the gamification platform. The findings indicate that gamification significantly improved employee engagement, with the proportion of employees exhibiting "High" engagement levels increasing from 25% to 60%, and "Very High" levels rising from 10% to 35%. Conversely, the "Very Low" category decreased from 15% to 5%. These results suggest that gamification elements such as rewards, challenges, and team collaboration fulfill employees’ psychological needs and create a more dynamic and productive work environment. This study contributes to the literature by providing insights into the effectiveness of gamification in the technology sector and offering practical recommendations for organizations to design relevant and sustainable gamification platforms. In conclusion, gamification is a promising strategy for enhancing employee engagement, provided that its elements are tailored to individual preferences and the technological readiness of the organization
