    2018
    Co-Authors: Suryanto
    Abstract:

    This article discusses how Hindu and Buddhist communities of Indonesia response to the national religious education policy enacted in the National Education System Act of 2003. In the Law No.20/2003 of National Education System,  Indonesian government introduced new policies in the religious education. Despite of the good intention for the equality right for getting religious education for all of six formally recognised religious adherents, the government regulation on religious education policy was a largely based on education political interest of majority religious groups. This article discussed how these religious education policies in Indonesia affected the religious education policy formulation of minority religious group in Indonesia especially those of Hinduism and Buddhism. This research employed the qualitative research approach with the content analysis method to study the impact of Indonesian religious education policy in the Law of 20/2003 NESA on the Hinduism and Buddhism institutional religious education policy formulation. Data resources for this research were from legal-formal government regulation documents regarding the legislation on national religious education policy, and both Hinduism and Buddhism institutional religious education policy The finding indicated that the religious education policy formulation in the Law 20/2003 and the Government Regulation 55/2007 of Religious Education and Institutional Religious Education of Hinduism and Buddhism, especially those of formal pasraman of Hindu and dhamasekha of Buddhism education would not be able to be implemented immediately. The main factors were the formulation were considered too idealistic in nature, but it is not relevant with the actual potency and human resources of Hindu and Buddhist education institutions.

  • varieties of openness and religious commitment in india relationships of attitudes toward Hinduism hindu religious reflection and religious schema
    Archive for the Psychology of Religion, 2014
    Co-Authors: Shanmukh V Kamble, P J Watson, Savitri Marigoudar, Zhuo Chen
    Abstract:

    The Religious Openness Hypothesis argues that traditional religions have resources for integrating intellect with faith. In a test of this hypothesis, Hindu graduate students in India (N = 320) responded to Hindu religious reflection, attitudes toward Hinduism, religious schema, religious orientation, and psychological openness scales. Faith and intellect oriented religious reflection correlated positively with each other and with the all three religious schemas, which also correlated directly. Linkages with attitudes toward Hinduism and intrinsic and extrinsic personal religious orientations documented the compatibility of religious reflection and schema with Hindu commitments. Associations with greater openness to experience and need for cognition confirmed their psychological openness as well. Interactions between attitudes toward Hinduism and the intrinsic orientation suggested that Hinduism had more positive influences in those who were more sincerely religious. These data from India most importantly supported the Religious Openness Hypothesis.

    Abstract:

    In a sample of Indian university students, the Attitude towards Hinduism Scale correlated positively with the Intrinsic and Extrinsic Personal Religious Orientations, exhibited an inverse relationship with depression, and predicted greater self-esteem and religious collective self-esteem. Extrinsic Social and Quest Orientations displayed no linkages with Hindu religious commitments and predicted psychological maladjustment. Attitude towards Hinduism displayed incremental validity over religious orientations in explaining variance in self-esteem and religious collective self-esteem and fully mediated Intrinsic and Extrinsic Personal linkages with religious collective self-esteem. Moderation analyses demonstrated that the Attitude towards Hinduism Scale had more robust mental health implications in those who were stronger in their Intrinsic Orientation. These data once again illustrated how the examination of tradition-specific forms of commitment can clarify more general measures of religiousness, and vice...
