Becoming Human through Stories: Transformative Islamic Narrative Pedagogy and the Reconstruction of Selfhood among Primary School Students in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

2026-08-31T20:40:47+07:00

The thunderous expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings has fundamentally altered how children acquire knowledge, process information, and construct personal identity. Contemporary primary education, increasingly dominated by algorithmic content delivery and competency-based frameworks, risks neglecting the formative dimensions of human selfhood, consciousness, moral imagination, and narrative identity. This study introduces Transformative Islamic Narrative Pedagogy (TINP) as a novel theoretical framework for reconstructing selfhood and moral consciousness among primary school students through Islamic narrative traditions. Drawing on the animated series Pada Zaman Dahulu (PZD) as a primary analytical corpus, this research employs qualitative narrative inquiry combined with multimodal discourse analysis to examine how narrative structures, visual symbols, dialogues, and character archetypes function as transformative pedagogical tools. The study reveals that PZD operates as a rich symbolic narrative space encoding Islamic moral epistemology weaving together consciousness, memory, imagination, and language into coherent narratives of selfhood. The findings demonstrate that TINP offers a culturally grounded, spiritually enriched alternative to AI-centric educational models, fostering not merely cognitive competence but moral consciousness and authentic human becoming. This article argues that narrative remains an irreplaceable pedagogical medium, capable of resisting the anthropological reductionism inherent in AI-driven education while nurturing the full dimensions of Islamic humanistic selfhood.

Integrasi Seni, Budaya, dan Pendidikan Karakter Berbasis Kearifan Lokal di Sekolah Dasar

2026-08-31T20:40:47+07:00

The waves of globalization and digital transformation have driven a shift toward individualism and a diminishing sense of respect among students for local culture. On the other hand, previous studies have tended to examine arts education, character education, and local culture separately, resulting in a scarcity of integrative conceptual frameworks that combine the three based on local wisdom. Furthermore, the barriers to implementation have rarely been systematically examined in relation to curriculum implementation theory, nor have they been mapped based on existing empirical evidence. This study aims to explore the concept, barriers, and effective strategies for integrating arts, culture, and character education based on local wisdom in elementary schools. The method employed was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by the PRISMA protocol, with data sourced from Google Scholar and Crossref, resulting in 12 articles selected from an initial pool of 269 for analysis through content analysis and thematic analysis. The findings show that the integration of the three aspects forms a holistic learning strategy, that the barriers encountered are pedagogical and structural in nature and align with curriculum implementation theory, and that the most effective strategy is strengthening teacher capacity and developing an integrated curriculum, supported by the use of local wisdom, technology, and education-ecosystem collaboration. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative conceptual framework linking the three elements, while also connecting implementation barriers to curriculum implementation theory and mapping strategies based on the strength of supporting evidence, thereby offering a reference for the development of contextual and sustainable character education.

From Implicit Values to Qur’anic Integration: Rethinking Islamic Science a through Elementary IPAS Textbooks

2026-08-31T20:40:47+07:00

The integration of science with Islamic values in science learning is important for developing scientific literacy and spiritual awareness of students in elementary school. This study goals to analyze how Islamic values are integrated into content of natural and social sciences textbooks in elementary schools and to identify the potential for integrating from the Qur'an into science content. Qualitative content analysis approach was used to textbooks for grades III–VI published by the Indonesian government. The analysis was conducted through the stages of unitizing, reading and familiarization, data coding, category development, and data interpretation with the categories of explicit, implicit, and unintegrated integration. The results indicated the integration of Islamic values in IPAS textbooks was nine units containing indirect religious values. Nevertheless, we not found explicit integration in the form of Qur'anic or hadiths. This study concludes that IPAS textbooks have not systematically integrated Islamic values, require the development of a more integrative textbook model through the addition of reflections on verses of kauniyah, the strengthening of the concept of tauhid, and the value of human as khalifah on earth.
