Abstract

This study seeks to explore the student perceptions of Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) who are scattered in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Economics and Faculty of Social Sciences regarding their understanding on the concept of gender equality and women’s rights in Islam. The hypothesis offered by the researchers is that the respondent’s understanding of feministic discourse is expected to be able to be increasing the understanding and the behavior with gender awareness in concrete forms. This study involved students who were taking courses in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in 2020-2021. The research sample consisted of students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (80 students), the Faculty of Economics (40 students) and the Faculty of Social Science (30 students). This research uses a survey approach through correlational analysis and cross-sectional study. However, what the researcher will present in this study does not necessarily represent the overall response of the UM students, this is related to the selection of research samples and differences in the backgrounds of students’ religious understanding. This study has an urgency for mapping UM students’ understanding of terms related to feministic discourse in the study of Islamic studies so that the results of this study can be used to formulate advanced policies in the implementation of Islamic religious education in public universities that are more accommodating positive perceptions for the rights of women.
