The Islamization of Suku Anak Dalam in Jambi and Animism Claims: From Aqidah to Fiqh al-Salah Consolidation

This paper discusses the Islamization of Suku Anak Dalam (Jambi’s people of the jungle/the SAD) in Jambi as well as proves that the Islamization has moved from the realm of aqidah to the deepening of fiqh, especially fiqh al-ṣalāh, unlike previous researchers’ accusations who generalized that animism is still attached to the the SAD who have converted to Islam. This paper applies field study principles combining qualitative and quantitative research methods by applying sociocultural anthropology theory, with a research object being the SAD residing in Pelempang Village, Muaro Jambi. This paper concludes that SAD’s Islamization has succeeded in removing animist teachings that are not in line with Islamic values. However, SAD’s understanding of fiqh al-ṣalāh is still relatively low. This is due to a low level of education, inability to read and write, remote geographical locations, barriers between the SAD and other residents, and the absence of teachers of fiqh al-ṣalāh who teach actively and consistently in the area.

Education and learning about research methodology: Views of LIS authors in Pakistan

Research is vital for generating knowledge and methodology is a core component for the execution of research ideas. Research methodology education is considered to be a core area of the degree in LIS education programs of almost every school worldwide. The aim of the study is to explore the status of methodology education in the LIS field in Pakistan. In depth interviews were used to explore empirical data. The recorded interviews were transcribed, translated, and thematic analysis was conducted. Patronage and instruction by faculty, effective education on quantitative methodology and tools and openness of students were major strengths of library schools. Over reliance on theoretical education, absence of PhD teachers, lack of coordination and discussion, less focus on qualitative methodology and lower interests of students were major flaws in the education of methodology at library schools. Private library schools were ranked lower because students pursue education for sake of the degree and teachers’ focus was on exposure and earning. Reading, writing and publishing, enrolment in research degree programs, peer learning, advice from experts and participation in workshops were major strategies of learning used by Pakistani authors. The respondents proposed an effective role of library schools, revision of course contents, development of collaboration and promotion of reading culture for enhancing the of methodology. Research methodology is always in a state of rapid change, so the understanding of challenges related to education and learning of methodology may contribute to enhance the quality of research methodology education and its competence.

With the outbreak of covid-19, teaching switched over from face-to-face to online one for the first time. Often, in online teaching linguistic barriers occur, since the teacher is not physically present in the classroom to clarify certain situations. This paper attempts to find out various linguistic barriers that occurred in online teaching at the undergraduate level at the University of Malakand. The researchers selected 380 respondents as participants from the total population through a random purposive sampling technique. Besides, a questionnaire was used for data collection.

Child abuse: A social evil in Indian perspective.

Child abuse is a social evil which has existed in our society since a long time. The awareness regarding the same has been minimal in developing countries. Many a times, punitive measures taken by parents to discipline their children turn out to be painful scars in their childhood resulting in stunting of their mental and social growth. Doctors and other health care workers have a very important role in identifying and reporting such issues. Law has also evolved over the recent past in safeguarding the future of our children. However, awareness regarding this issue has remained to be the same as before. During the current era of COVID, parents and children have been restricted to their homes.

Hence in this article we intend to provide good clarity about this social evil, and the rights of our children. We also wish to stress upon the duties of parents, doctors, teachers in molding these tender minds so as to get the best out of them.

Simultaneously, the school has a great opportunity to help the child’s father to be involved in early childhood education. The objective of this study is to analyze the role of the child’s father in early childhood education, its correlation to the school’s programs and its strategies in involving the child’s father in early childhood education in the PAUD of Griya Ceria, and then to find out the constraints experienced by the school in involving the father in early childhood education in this school.

Indigenous intercultural education and teacher training

Este trabalho apresenta uma síntese dos principais resultados obtidos através do Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso intitulado “‘A gente tá apenas em construção, construindo nossa forma, tentando achar a forma ideal pra fazer uma educação diferenciada, e que nós queremos’: a Licenciatura Intercultural Indígena da UFSC e as políticas linguísticas”, o qual apresentou uma análise das políticas linguísticas acadêmicas relacionadas ao curso de Licenciatura Intercultural Indígena do Sul da Mata Atlântica e que, consequentemente, afetam e refletem nas políticas linguísticas das/nas escolas das aldeias e das próprias comunidades. Os dados da pesquisa foram levantados no “I Seminário de Língua Indígenas do Sul da Mata Atlântica: Guarani, Kaingang e Xokleng” e a análise foi realizada por meio das falas das alunas e alunos e das professoras e professores da Licenciatura Intercultural Indígena. Em relação aos resultados, constatou-se que apesar de regulamentadas algumas políticas que tencionam a valorização e o uso das línguas indígenas, na prática elas não são bem concebidas e, ainda, demonstram a falta de autonomia dos professores indígenas em sala de aula, tanto no ensino básico quanto no ensino superior. Com o presente trabalho pretende-se contribuir com a visibilidade das populações indígenas, principalmente no tocante às suas vozes.
