The phenomenon of same-sex attraction in the Islamic boarding school environment is a complex issue that cannot be understood solely in the framework of moral deviation. This research aims to examine in depth the role of Islamic boarding schools in dealing with the tendency of homosexual behavior among students, by viewing it as a form of social maladjustment triggered by the limitations of opposite-sex interaction, lack of affection, and psychosocial pressure. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with the case study method, data is obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation in several Islamic boarding schools that strictly implement gender segregation. Research results show that homosexual behavior in Islamic boarding schools is often situational and develops as a form of emotional escape from the environment that curbs the psychological needs of students. Same-sex relationships are rooted in the need for affection, security, and acceptance that are not available in the family system or Islamic boarding school institutions. The dominant response of Islamic boarding schools in the form of sanctions has not touched the root of the problem, so a new approach that is more holistic and empathetic is needed. This finding emphasizes the importance of integrating sexuality education based on Islamic values, psychosocial assistance, and reformulating the role of Islamic boarding school caregivers as emotional mentors. This research recommends the transformation of the coaching system in Islamic boarding schools to be more adaptive to the psychosocial dynamics of teenagers, so that Islamic boarding schools are not only a moral fortress, but also a spiritually and emotionally healthy growth space.

Mariya Ulfah, A Fatikhul Amin Abdullah — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 15:08:36 +0700

Factors This study examines the views of the Poteran Village community toward women pursuing higher education, with an emphasis on the social and cultural aspects that influence these views. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study aimed to understand the meanings and experiences of women facing social pressures arising from their desire to pursue higher education. The research methods employed were in-depth interviews and participant observation. Interviews were conducted with 10 key informants, including community leaders, religious leaders, highly educated women, and parents. Observations were conducted to examine social and cultural interactions relevant to the research issue. The results of this study indicate a negative stigma against women who choose to pursue higher education, driven by patriarchal culture, traditional values, and economic circumstances. Women are often perceived as more suited to domestic roles, making higher education less important. However, there has been a shift in community perceptions driven by modernization, the success of educated women, and support from family and community leaders. Although this change is not yet widespread, awareness of the importance of higher education for women is growing as part of efforts to achieve gender equality and social progress.
