THE DETERRITORIALIZATION CULTURE OF ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS: A NETNOGRAPHY STUDY OF LIVE STREAMING USERS OF KULIAH IHYA' TEMATIK AND NGARIKSA ON FACEBOOK

The teaching tradition of Islamic boarding schools has encountered deterritorialization. Islamic boarding schools that used to be distinguished by traditionality have transformed the management, financial, and learning traditions following digital developments. This article aims to examine the substantial shift in Islamic boarding school intellectual traditions from traditional to digital, which will then be called 'online recitation’, through live Facebook streaming content of Kuliah Ihya' Tematik (Ihya' Thematic Lectures) and Ngariksa (Questioning). The data were collected through documentation, surveys, and in-depth interviews involving kyai, production teams, and online santri (student) of two Facebook accounts: Ulil Abshar Abdalla (Ihya' Thematic Lectures) and Oman Fathurahman (Ngariksa). Data was analyzed using netnography through investigation, interaction, immersion, integration, and incarnation stages. The results showed values, rituals, heroes, and symbols in the deterritorialization culture of Islamic boarding schools. Followers of the online recitation get a social experience (becoming more sensitive to social issues) and a ritual experience (calmness in living life) after participating in the Ngaji online through live streaming or recorded playback. Research contributes to the development of Islamic communication science where Islamic boarding schools as the oldest Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia can communicate to the wider community about learning activities in Islamic boarding schools through social media which is of great interest to the public.

Competence-Based Curriculum in Tanzania: District School Quality Assurance Officers’ Understanding and Practices

This study focuses on investigation of district school quality assurance officers’ (DSQAOs) understanding of competence-based curriculum (CBC) and how they conduct CBC quality assurance in secondary schools in Tanzania. The study employed interpretive paradigm, qualitative approach, a case study design, and was guided by Bernstein's theory of the pedagogic device. Forty (40) respondents were purposively and conveniently selected including DSQAOs (n = 12), head of schools (n = 4), and teachers (n = 24). Data generation methods were semi-structured interviews, participant-assisted drawings, and documentary review; while content and thematic analyses were employed. Findings revealed that DSQAOs had varied understandings of CBC. Some understood CBC as a curriculum that supported students’ studies and learning environment. Others understood it as a curriculum that supported students’ acquisition of competences needed in their daily life; while others failed to explain its meaning. Moreover, DSQAOs conducted classroom observations and gave feedbacks for improving teaching and learning activities in schools. However, DSQAOs’ use of harsh language to teachers, limited time during school visit, inadequate report writing, and lack of clear conceptualization of CBC concepts hindered effective support to teachers. The study concludes that in order to conduct effective CBC quality assurance in schools, selection of competent DSQAOs and regular trainings are imperative.
