Dataset Artificial Intelligence and Multicultural Islamic Education: A Decolonial Systematic Review of Cultural Mediation and Ethical Transformation in Global South Contexts

Title Artificial Intelligence and Multicultural Islamic Education: A Decolonial Systematic Review of Cultural Mediation and Ethical Transformation in Global South Contexts Authors Akmal Nur Alif Hidayatullah¹, Annis Nur Alifatul Kamila²¹²Universitas Islam Malang (UNISMA), Indonesia Description (Abstract) This dataset accompanies a decolonial systematic review examining the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Multicultural Islamic Education (MIE) in Global South contexts. The study analyzes how AI mediates ethical formation, pedagogical authority, cultural representation, and value transmission across 261 peer-reviewed studies (2014-2025) in English, Indonesian, and Arabic. Key Features: Total Studies Analyzed: 261 peer-reviewed publications Geographic Coverage: 45 countries across Southeast Asia (52.9%), Middle East & North Africa (16.1%), Sub-Saharan Africa (10.7%), South Asia (10.0%), Western contexts (16.1%), and global/multi-region studies (10.7%) Methodological Distribution: Qualitative (57.9%), Quantitative (16.5%), Mixed Methods (10.3%), Conceptual/Theoretical (12.6%), Technical AI/CS papers (3.8%) Educational Levels: Higher Education (34.1%), Islamic Boarding Schools/Madrasah/Secondary (41.4%), Basic Education (23.0%) Quality Assessment: 74.0% of studies rated high quality (JBI ≥4/5); mean quality score 4.1/5 Inter-coder Reliability: Mean κ = 0.88 (96.9% of studies achieving "Almost Perfect" agreement) Research Questions: PP1 (AI Integration Pattern): What is the pattern of AI integration in Multicultural Islamic Education in Global South contexts across pedagogical, curricular, institutional, and systemic-cultural realms? PP2 (Ethical Mediation Mechanisms): Through what mechanisms does AI mediate the formation of ethics, pedagogical authority, cultural representation, and value transmission in MIE? PP3 (Decolonial Possibilities): What decolonial practices are being developed by Islamic educational institutions in the Global South in responding to AI challenges? Key Findings: Six Ethical Mediation Mechanisms identified along a spectrum from algorithmic substitution (moral delegation, normative amplification, cultural leveling) to dialogic integration (hybrid deliberative mediation, contextual value re-embedding, dialogic ethical framing) Five Decolonial Possibilities documented: epistemic re-centering, pedagogical sovereignty, cultural counter-flattening, governance innovation, and transnational South-South solidarity Authority Recalibration identified as the most dominant cross-cutting mechanism (52.1% of studies) Governance Gap: 55.9% of studies document innovation-driven AI adoption, but only 18.9% report context-sensitive governance frameworks Theoretical Framework: The study integrates decolonial theory (Quijano, Mignolo), Islamic epistemic resources (khalifah, 'adl, tawasuth, fiqh al-bī'ah, maslahah), and local wisdom traditions (gotong royong, Ubuntu, Dalihan Na Tolu) as analytical lenses.
