Religiosity and Spirituality Development: An Accelerated Longitudinal Design.

The central aim of the present study was to model developmental trends in communal and independent religious practices, spirituality, positive and negative religious/spiritual coping, as well as their confluence, across ages 45-80. Participants derived from the Notre Dame Study of Health & Well-being (NDHWB), a longitudinal study spanning 10 years in an age-heterogeneous sample. Using 2-level multilevel models, we estimated no change, linear change, quadratic change, and cubic change functions across ages 45-80 in each construct. Cohort differences were also tested. Communal and independent practices, spirituality, negative religious/spiritual coping, as well as composite religiosity/spirituality, followed cubic trajectories across mid- to later life. Communal religious practices peaked twice: once at 45 and again around age 70. Independent practices, in contrast, peaked at age 45 and then declined in a stage-like manner until age 80. Spirituality reached its nadir around age 50 and peaked in the early 70s; the reverse was true for negative religious/spiritual coping. The change trajectory in composite religiosity/spirituality most resembled that of independent religious practices. Finally, positive religious/spiritual coping followed a linear trajectory, but a cohort difference precluded its interpretation as developmental change. Individuals appear to engage with their faith in different ways as they age, meaning extant conclusions about age-related differences and change in global religiosity/spirituality may be distorted.

The theoretical foundations of a personality-oriented model of education are outlined: the value of the student’s personality; education of a person of culture as the goal of personality-oriented education; subjective experience of the individual as its content. It is proposed to consider a personality-oriented model of education as a theoretical construct formed by cognitive, axiological, activity-creative and personal modules, including knowledge, values, methods of activity and creativity, personal characteristics, respectively. The content of the activity-creative module is supplemented with such a component as a way of mastering the world in morality.

The role of moral consciousness in a person’s spiritual and practical mastery of the world in morality is revealed, providing a search for the value-normative meaning of people’s actions and relationships, on the basis of which the relationships between people are assessed. It is substantiated that students’ spiritual and practical mastery of the world in morality is possible within the framework of a personality-oriented model of education.

Enhancing Parent-Teacher Collaboration in Tahfidzul Qur'an Learning: Roles, Challenges, and Strategies

The memorization of the Quran, holds significant importance in Islamic education, fostering spiritual, cognitive, and moral development. This research aims to identify the profile of early-age children Qur'an memorizers, discover the learning methods used for young children, and examine the roles of family and teachers in supporting young children in memorizing the Qur'an. Early-age children lack strategies in the memorization process; therefore, the responsibility of parents and teachers is to accompany them in devising strategies for memorizing the Qur'an. The method used was a qualitative research method with a field research type. The research findings conclude that: 1) Qur'an memorizers among early-age children come from diverse family backgrounds in terms of economic, social, and educational status. However, these differences do not affect the enthusiasm and diligence of early-age children in participating in Qur'an memorization. 2) The method used in teaching early-age Qur'an memorization is the ‘talaqy’ method, involving direct teaching between teachers and students with three processes: ‘talqin’ (the teacher dictates the Qur'an verses in front of the child), ‘tasmi’ (the child imitates the teacher's recitation), and ‘murajaa’h’ (the child repeats the memorization in front of the teacher). 3) The role of the family includes motivation, guidance, setting an example, and discipline. The role of the teacher encompasses being a facilitator, guide, evaluator, and manager. Recommendations are provided for fostering holistic Tahfidzul Quran education, promoting synergy between home and school environments, and empowering stakeholders in cultivating Quranic literacy among the younger generation.
