Creativity in Philosophy: A Multifaceted Approach to Education with Mulla Sadra's Thinking

Solving today's problems and preparing for future uncertainties requires creativity. Creativity has been placed as one of the main axes of educational reforms in many advanced educational systems of the world. The current research, which is of a fundamental type and descriptive-analytical method, seeks to explain the solid philosophical foundations for the multifaceted theory of educational creativity presented by the author of this article based on Mulla Sadra. Mulla Sadra is one of the great Muslim philosophers. According to the findings of the present research, the theory of multifaceted educational creativity, which has environmental-social, emotional-cognitive, intellectual, educational-teaching and physical dimensions for creativity, can be based on the anthropological philosophy of Mulla Sadra, which attributes "becoming" to human nature. In this article, several practical suggestions for teachers based on the theory of multifaceted educational creativity have been presented so that teachers can take more effective steps to foster students' creativity. Also, suggestions for future researches have been provided.

Tantangan dan Reformasi Sistem Pendidikan Agama Islam di Indonesia Kontemporer

This article examines the challenges and reforms of the Islamic religious education system in contemporary Indonesia. This system has experienced ups and downs related to the social situation, culture, politics, economy and even Islamic orthodoxy. The challenges of conservatism, post-nationalism and terrorism in this article are inseparable from the crisis of professional and moderate Islamic Religious Education teachers in Indonesia. Responding to ideological challenges (conservatism, post-nationalism and terrorism) like this, school principals in public education institutions have an important position and role in making improvements through the performance of PAI teachers. The reform of PAI learning in public schools, especially the high school level, needs to do three things, namely renewal in the sector of philosophical understanding, a psychological approach and cultural development. PAI teachers need to continue to encourage their students to have the character of Pancasila students. Thus, they will believe in inclusiveness, global diversity, the ability to work together. social and creative responsibility. The mainstreaming of Islamic religious education with the perspective of religious moderation in counteracting the growth of terrorist teachings driven by eschatological imagination can continue to be fought for through the arguments above.Keywords : Conservatism, Post-Nationalism, Terrorism, PAI Reform?

School health and wellbeing and national education system reform: A qualitative study

AbstractThe education systems of the four UK nations are diverging, and the education system in Wales is undergoing major reform with substantially increased emphasis on health and wellbeing. Understanding the implementation of major policy and system reforms requires an understanding of system histories and starting points. This study aimed to explore the perceived roles of schools in contemporary society, and how this role has evolved over time; the aims of the reforms, with a particular focus on health and wellbeing; and perceived barriers and facilitators for implementation. Interviews were held with senior stakeholders in the Welsh education system who held a strategic role in shaping the reforms. These included senior members of government and schools with a remit in either design of the curriculum or educationalists’ professional learning, Wales's school regulatory body, and those with a multidisciplinary remit in health and education. Interviews were subjected to thematic analysis, which produced a number of themes related to each objective, including ‘a changing society and increasing expectations on schools’, ‘the perceived role of schools in supporting health and wellbeing’, ‘the aims of the reform’, ‘what will success look like?’, ‘national level barriers and facilitators’ and ‘community and school level barriers and facilitators’. Findings suggest that education system reform requires change at multiple levels of the education system. Consideration of each level, and the interactions between them, is necessary for achieving change.

Danish University Governance and Reforms Since the Millennium:

Global and European political shifts are having an impact on the present and future of Nordic universities, including ideals of institutional autonomy. The aim of this paper is to explore the status of governance, and central policy ideas that have shaped reforms and institutional change at Danish universities since the millennium. On the one hand the article explores how powerful policy ideas have shaped the development of Danish higher education policy, and on the other hand, how such ideas are received in very different ways by the sector and the institutions. The article unravels the history of the reform of the Danish higher education system of the past two decades, as two parallel ideational streams in policy development. The first ideational stream revolves around the relation between state and institutions, and the second centres on the relation between the national and the global. Focusing on recent developments, the article demonstrates that the range of possible sector and university responses towards centrally initiated reforms and initiatives varies significantly. The article suggest that these variations must be seen in the light of the universities struggling to come to terms with their position as self- governing institutions, including defining and exploiting their space for agency.

Implementing reform in the teacher education system: Concerns of teacher educators

This study seeks insight in the concerns which exist in different groups who share responsibility for teacher education when implementing changes in teacher education. Against the backdrop of the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM), we used cluster analysis to identify different profiles of engagement based on a dataset of N = 1378 teacher educators in Germany. We found that level of education, role in the system, professional experiences, and gender have an impact on how members of the system engage with changes. Further analysis showed that communication in the educational system predicts engagement for change. Implications for change policy are discussed.

Changing teachers’ beliefs and practices towards learner-centred education: experiences and lessons from Vietnam’s education system reforms

ABSTRACT This study traces back nearly five decades of Vietnam’s reform policies of pursuing the learner-centred education (LCE) approach, and it gives insights into the latest attempts, the 2013 Fundamental and Comprehensive Education reform (FCER) and its central policy, the Curriculum 2018. Prompted by Schweisfurth’s four continua framework on defining LCE, the study found evidence of teachers and principals generally accepting the intent of the reform policies, and teachers were using a greater variety of classroom techniques than previously. However, the findings suggest that teachers still control the content, pace of learning and classroom activities; there is a continuing tradition of relying on extrinsic motivation rather than developing students’ intrinsic motivation to learn; and there is a lack of opportunities for students’ rich and genuine reflections and expressions and the development of deeper understanding of complex problems. The paper argues that it is unrealistic to expect a radical transition without adequate teacher preparation, and that a scaffolded approach to developing teachers’ understanding and skills is called for via professional development.

Dentists’ attitudes toward patient-centered care and its predictors: a cross-sectional study in South Korea

BackgroundPatient-centered care (PCC) has been one of medical practice’s most frequently discussed principles. However, attitudes toward PCC among dentists remain underexplored. This study focuses on examining dentists’ patient-centered attitudes and investigating their predictors.MethodsThe Patient–Practitioner Orientation Scale which consists of Sharing and Caring subscales was used to assess patient-centered attitudes. The statistical analysis included 217 dentists from South Korea. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was performed to examine the predictors such as sociodemographic aspects, academic factors, work-related factors, and empathy.ResultsA patient-centered attitude of Caring subscale (M = 4.29, SD = 0.56) emerged, but the provider-centered attitude was higher in Sharing subscale (M = 3.40, SD = 0.48). Work year, academic track, and empathy were associated significantly with an overall caring aspect of patient-centered attitude, while the gender effect remained insignificant. Empathy had a critical and significant impact on the patient-centered attitude.ConclusionsEfforts to enhance patient-centeredness in Sharing are needed; post-graduate education and transition to a more patient-centered health system are recommended. Moreover, empathy still matters as it was found to be a significant predictor of patient-centered attitudes. The findings of this study support the need for efforts to enhance patient-centered attitudes among dentists, which will help generate discussion on improving the curriculum of post-graduate education and health system reform.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUES IN THE ALGERIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Values have been included at three levels in the recent reforms of the Algerian education system (2003): the philosophy that is the basis of this reform and its main objectives, the targeted values, as well as the values education strategies. Determining the precise place of values in these reforms, allows a better understanding of the phenomenon of values education in educational institutions, as well as its practices. It can also be a tool for further evaluation and reconstruction of the reform. The targeted values are identity and universal. Values education curricula combined the hidden curriculum with the direct approach. Nevertheless, a set of gaps has been identified, the most important of which is the lack of a clear and progressive value system in the early school years, and the lack of a specific value plan defined by operational schedules. Also, the lack of training of trainers on how to carry out values education and train them on its stages and strategies.

University governance reforms in Portugal

AbstractThis paper is to analyze the 2007 reform of the higher education system in Portugal (RJIES), which ambitioned fundamental changes in the governance of universities, the option given to higher education institutions (HEIs) to be transformed into public foundations being only one element of the reform. Based on desk research, the key elements of the reform, the process of designing and introducing it and an assessment of its impact are presented. We may conclude that the governance reform has led to more effective management of universities regardless of their legal status, but the new, foundation form has not fulfilled the expectations regarding the more autonomous and flexible operation of the transformed HEIs, due, to a large extent, to the financial restrictions brought about by the global crisis.

Do Poverty and Economic Growth Matter for Income Inequality Reduction in Yogyakarta Province?

It has been observed that income inequality is an economic element that may impede a nation's economic development. In general, Indonesia's Gini ratio has remained low for nearly a decade, although one region, Yogyakarta Province, unexpectedly exceeds the national average. The provincial government of Yogyakarta must focus more on reducing income inequality. Therefore, this study employs the Poverty-Growth-Inequality Triangle model approach to investigate the complexity of income inequality in Yogyakarta Province. The data is collected from five cities in Yogyakarta Province from 2010 to 2021. For the quantitative study, a Simultaneous Equation Model analysis with three iterations of least squares is performed. The results indicate that there is no causal relationship between income inequality and economic growth or poverty. According to the model of income inequality, education and the district minimum wage have a significant impact on income inequality. Therefore, local governments are advocated to evaluate policies aimed at reducing income inequality through education system reform, equity in district minimum wage and economic growth, and efficiency in the utilization of income inequality-related funds.

Development of soft skills in higher education: students' opinion

The need to systematize and formalize soft skills in curricula makes the study relevant. This becomes especially important in the context of a fundamental reform of the national education system in Russia. The reliance on the world's best educational practices will allow creating effective training programs in order to increase the demand for university graduates. In the article the research conducted to assess the satisfaction of university students (on the example of MGIMO MFA of Russia) with the development of soft skills during the mastering of academic disciplines is presented. At the first stage of the research, scientific articles in which the authors classify soft skills were selected and analyzed, and a list of the most professionally significant soft skills was compiled and used as a basis for the developed questionnaire. At the second stage, a survey of students was conducted. There were 135 students who participated in the survey. It was found out that a high percentage of the respondents find soft skills important for their future career. However, according to the students, insufficient attention is paid to the development of soft skills in the process of higher education, so young people mostly do not associate their mastery of certain skills with their studies at university. Despite the fact that in recent years researchers have paid attention to the study of soft skills, university curricula do not regulate the improvement of skills. The missing formalization of soft skills in university curricula creates obstacles for their development in the process of studying at the university. This study confirms the relevance of updating the curriculum and educational framework

The Consensus of Global Teaching Evaluation Systems under a Sustainable Development Perspective

As an elemental driving force for promoting teaching reform, teaching evaluation has been receiving extensive attention in the fundamental reform of the overall education system. Using six dimensions including evaluation indicators, evaluation objectives, evaluation methods, interest relations, rights and roles, and accountability models, this article conducts a survey of eighteen teaching evaluation systems in seven countries including the United States, Germany, China, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Chile. After analyzing these evaluation systems, this paper concluded the following major trends: evaluation indicators tend to be more standardized, evaluation objectives are closer to teachers’ professional development, evaluation methods pay more attention to formative evaluation, interest relationships tend to be low-risk, and evaluation plays a diagnostic role in teachers’ growth and the increased autonomy of schools in the accountability system. At last, this paper proposed that the future teaching evaluation system should focus on improving teachers’ skills and profession, designing the evaluation system with the principle of combining practice and theory, and finally changing from high-risk summative results to low-risk formative ones. Through the above revelations, we hope to help educational policymakers systematically consider and solve core problems in the teacher evaluation system.

Parlamentarni izbori u Švedskoj 2022. godine - pozicioniranje levih i desnih partija

This paper examines the socio-political divisions within the Kingdom of Sweden, in order to provide an analytical insight into the positioning of Swedish parties during the campaign for the 2022 parliamentary elections (for the Riksdag). This analysis consequently contributes to the understanding of the election results achieved by major Swedish parties. Therefore, the first objective of the paper involves providing an analysis of party programmess and election results, while the second objective of the research aims to identify dependent and independent variables that contributed to the positioning and the subsequent success/failure of the eight largest Swedish parties in the parliamentary elections held in September 2022. By applying the method of discourse analysis and the method of document/data analysis, different strategies of party positioning are studied, with Lipset and Rokkan's (1967) theory of party alignment being utilised as the theoretical framework; with a special emphasis on their theory of social cleavages. The paper begins with the hypothesis that pre-election campaigns of Swedish parties were mostly influenced by their need to position themselves in relation to two topics; the topic of immigration and the topic of health and educational system reform. The results of the research indicate that Swedish parties are increasingly more ready to change their historically recognisable attitudes and positions in line with current issues, in order to achieve positive election results. This trend is partially responsible for changes in the Swedish party system, which - however - remains partially intact for the time being, as can be seen from the outcome of the election.
