Wed, 19 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Aim: This research aims to rectify perspectives that overlook the significant contributions made by three important figures in educational philosophy to the advancement of the Islamic education curriculum. The objective of this research is to explain the implications of the ideas put out by three educational philosophy figures, namely John Locke, Henry Giroux, and John Dewey, in the development of the Islamic education curriculum. Each paradigm represents a distinct philosophical viewpoint: Humanism, Reconstructionism, and Progressivism.
Methodology: The research methodology employed is qualitative, specifically based on a literature review. The research model is to explain the perspectives of three major thinkers.
Findings: The findings of this study indicate that the three educational philosophy figures play distinct roles in the development of the Islamic education curriculum. John Locke advocated for the promotion of reason and ethical principles in the context of Islamic education. Henry Giroux enhances students’ capacity to critically examine material, comprehend social reality through an Islamic lens, and actively participate in meaningful discussions on significant matters. John Dewey enhanced the curriculum by prioritizing the cultivation of moral qualities and
the practical utilization of knowledge in real-life situations. This philosopher introduced educational principles that became influential in the advancement of Islamic education, namely focusing on fostering reasoning and moral development, promoting critical thinking, and advocating for participatory learning.
Implications/Novel Contribution: The implications of this study highlight the need for an Islamic education curriculum that integrates reasoning and ethical reflection, as advocated by John Locke. Henry Giroux’s ideas emphasize the importance of critical thinking and social awareness through an Islamic lens. John Dewey’s philosophy supports participatory and experiential learning to apply knowledge in real-life contexts. Together, these perspectives encourage a holistic, dynamic, and socially responsive Islamic education.

Repatriation and the Future of Indigenous Heritage: Bringing Voice to Silent Witnesses, a Museum Anthropological Analysis

Banita Behera, M.R.Gangadhar — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Aim: This study aims to examine the Andamanese and Gweagal shields’ historical and anthropological significance by following their origins, use, and development from useful objects to museum exhibits. By concentrating on how early anthropologists documented and categorised objects, as well as the ensuing effects on indigenous identity and historical narratives, it explores how colonial collection practices changed indigenous material culture. The study looks at recent debates regarding repatriation and decolonisation as well as case studies of both successful and failed attempts to evaluate moral dilemmas in museum anthropology. Additionally, it examines how museums might represent and conserve indigenous heritage, assesses existing curation techniques, and suggests methods for increasing indigenous participation through co-curation. The study’s final goal is to provide future cultural policy and heritage protection strategies, such as suggestions for sustainable repatriation laws and an examination of digital repatriation as a workable alternative in cases where physical return is not feasible.
Methodology: The study uses the methodology combines historical research, material analysis, indigenous knowledge, comparative studies, and ethical considerations surrounding museum practices and repatriation, all framed within a decolonization perspective.
Findings: The difficulties faced by the Great Andamanese tribes are examined in this study, along with the function of museum anthropologists in conserving their cultural heritage. Additionally, it compares two significant artefacts: the Aboriginal shield housed in the British Museum and the Buamoh, a Great Andamanese musical instrument. The Aboriginal shield, believed to have been used during the 1770 battle between Cook’s expedition and the Gweagals in Australia, has drawn public attention after its display at the National Museum, while the Buamoh, believed to have witnessed the Battle of Aberdeen, is being repatriated because of its changing historical significance. Given Cook’s expedition’s increased prominence in reconciliation politics, the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council called for a reexamination of their relationship with it. These instances demonstrate the global discussion surrounding the restoration of cultural heritage and the vital significance of repatriation in India.
Implications/Novel Contribution: The findings suggest that governments and cultural institutions should adopt policies that better balance development with cultural preservation, ensuring that indigenous rights and heritage are respected in the modern world.

Social Construction of the Reality of MSME Actors in KSBI Jakarta Regarding President Prabowo’s Free Food Program

Made Wilantara, Misnan, Novianty Elizabeth Ayuna, Ajeng Iva Dwi Febriana — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Aim: To analyze how Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) members of the Komunitas Sukses Berjamaah Indonesia (KSBI) Jakarta form their social construction of the free meal program initiated by President Prabowo.
Methodology: Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann, this study describes how the reality of the national program is interpreted, understood, and responded to by MSMEs in the context of the local community economy. Through situational analysis, literature studies, and observations of community narratives.
Findings: It was found that MSMEs view the free meal program not just as a food policy but as an economic opportunity, a symbol of the state’s concern for the common people, and an accessibility challenge. This social construction is formed through three main stages: externalization in the form of a narrative of expectations for participation in procurement; objectivation through the dissemination of opinions and discussions in the KSBI forum, and internalization in the form of a collective attitude towards the potential for empowerment or exclusion. This study concludes that the meaning of the free meal program is greatly influenced by economic experience, closeness to government networks, and the community’s existence as a space for articulating shared meaning.
Implications/Novel Contribution: By understanding this social construction, the government and stakeholders can design a more inclusive approach to involving local MSMEs in national-scale programs.

Attitudinal and Behavioral Loyalty and Impulse Buying: Mediated Moderation of Fan-Co Creation and Satisfaction

Altaf Akbar, Hamid Riaz, Sayed Majad Koorimannil — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Aim: The study investigated IKEA brand customers in Portugal, focusing on attitudinal loyalty, behavioral loyalty on impulse buying, the mediating role of fan co-creation, the moderating role of fan satisfaction, and the social identity theory involved.
Methodology: The data were collected from 320 employees from IKEA customers in Portugal and analyzed through structural equational modeling with Smart-PLS. Employing a cross-sectional approach with attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty has a significant impact on impulse buying.
Findings: Furthermore, the study reveals the mediating effect of fan co-creation between attitudinal loyalty, behavioral loyalty, and impulse buying, in addition to the moderating effect of fan satisfaction on fan co-creation and impulse buying. Integrating social identity theory enriches the theoretical framework, providing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms shaping consumer loyalty and co-creation behaviors. While offering valuable insights, the study acknowledges its limitations and suggests avenues for future research to enhance the generalizability and depth of the findings.
Implications/Novel Contribution: By fusing brand encounters’ sensory, intellectual, emotive, and behavioral elements, IKEA is also a brand connection builder. Anecdotal data also suggests that the IKEA brand has been successful in emotionally connecting with customers over the years through its groundbreaking retail brand experience, technical advancements, and environmental innovations, in addition to its memorable marketing campaigns. Overall, this research contributes to understanding consumer behavior and offers practical implications for businesses aiming to cultivate brand loyalty, encourage co-creation, and capitalize on impulse buying behaviors among their customer base. As such, every hypothesis that was proposed during the investigation was confirmed.
