Practice of Cross-Departmental Competition Using AI Autonomous Driving Technology Education Teaching Material

It is important to further improve autonomous driving technology from the viewpoint of not only reducing vehicle accidents, but also reducing the burden on drivers, improving public transportation, and solving the labor shortage at logistics sites. Therefore, there is an urgent need to train engineers who understand autonomous driving technology and learn how to use it. Engineers involved in autonomous driving are required to have not only vehicle dynamics and control, but also expertise in information systems, as well as knowledge and experience in autonomous driving using AI. The authors have developed educational materials for AI autonomous driving technology, and practiced using the teaching materials according to classroom lectures on vehicle motion and AI. We aimed to develop human resources that contribute to the new development of the industry by holding competitions that compete for comprehensive performance of vehicle motion, control, AI, etc. using these AI-equipped vehicle learning materials. Information system department and mechanical system department participated in this trial of new utilization. This paper describes the practice of an AI automated driving competition with the participation of students from multiple departments as a cross-disciplinary competition and its effects.

Islam and Sex Education in The Netherlands: Reflection on an Example of Teaching Material for Islamic Primary Schools

This contribution is situated in the discussion on sex education in the Netherlands, in relation to “Islamic Pedagogy,” in particular “Islam and Pedagogy,” on the one side, and (religious) identity development on the other side. Islamic Pedagogy seems to be the theoretical framework of an example of developed teaching materials for sex education designed for Islamic primary schools in the Netherlands. Sex education is a compulsory yet sensitive subject in Dutch primary schools, usually included in the subject of Citizenship Education; in Islamic primary schools, it is included in the subject of Islamic Religious Education. After a short introduction to the Dutch education system, including the compulsory nature of sex education as a subject, this contribution offers a description of an example of developed teaching material, followed by a reflection from the point of view of pupils’ (religious) identity development as future citizens of Dutch pluralist society. For future teachers who are responsible for sex education, reflection is recommended—on their cognitive and affective relational positioning regarding Islam and concerning sex education. It is expected that deep reflection will stimulate the development of normative professionalism of sex educators in Dutch Islamic primary education.

Redesigning What is National: The Politics of Education and the New Moral Education Initiative in Globalizing Japan

ABSTRACT In December 2006, the Japanese Diet passed a revision of the Fundamental Law of Education (FLE), which aimed at teaching a sense of community and patriotic feelings among school children. This move is a clear departure from the long-standing norm in Japan’s post-war education policy in which democratic control and egalitarianism were the two primary principles. As the new FLE emphasizes the importance of love of country, how could the principle be potentially embodied in the contents of teaching materials for moral education? This exploratory study questions how such principles might be embedded in the contents of teaching materials for moral education. There are two analytical foci of this study. First, through the analysis of a supplementary moral reader, Watashitachi no Dōtoku (Our Morals), directly written, commissioned, and distributed by the Ministry of Education (2014–2017/2018), this study reveals how the three underlying themes of the Revised FLE, including patriotism, public spirit, and international cooperation, are projected on the contents and narratives of Our Morals. Second, this intended image of Japan in Our Morals (concretized by the Ministry of Education) is also scrutinized against the backdrop of Japan’s contemporary multicultural challenges. This study attempts to encapsulate the manifestation of the government’s intentions observable in Our Morals and the findings of this study thus highlight the political (rather than educational/pedagogical) significance of Our Morals.

Desain Model Bahan Ajar Berbasis Elektronik dan Minat Belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam Siswa Sekolah Dasar Negeri (SDN) Kelas Bawah di Indonesia

Abstract 
 Religious learning in the era of information technology development, especially in formal education institutions, faces serious challenges, if the teaching materials used are the majority of printed teaching materials and teacher teaching strategies are more dominant in applying a teacher-centered approach. Thus, in this millennial era, teachers are required to be more creative and innovative in developing and designing teaching materials, media, and student-centered learning strategies to increase motivation and interest in learning. This study aims to design an electronic-based Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teaching material model to increase student interest in elementary school (SDN) in Indonesia. Theories related to this design are the characteristics of the content and teaching materials of Islamic Religious Education, constructivist learning theory, technological and humanistic curricula as well as the characteristics of lower grade Public Elementary School (SDN) students. The type of research used is research and development with data collection techniques, interviews, and observations. The research findings show that the results of limited trials and extensive trials of the design of the electronic-based teaching material model of the development results indicate a significant increase in the learning interest of low-grade Public Elementary School (SDN) students in the subject of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) after the treatment.

MERIA – Conflict Lines: Experience with Two Innovative Teaching Materials

The design of inquiry-based tasks and problem situations for daily mathematics teaching is still a challenge. In this article, we study the implementation of two tasks as part of didactic scenarios for inquiry-based mathematics teaching, examining teachers’ classroom orchestration supported by these scenarios. The context of the study is the Erasmus+ project MERIA – Mathematics Education: Relevant, Interesting and Applicable, which aims to encourage learning activities that are meaningful and inspiring for students by promoting the reinvention of target mathematical concepts. As innovative teaching materials for mathematics education in secondary schools, MERIA scenarios cover specific curriculum topics and were created based on two well-founded theories in mathematics education: realistic mathematics education and the theory of didactical situations. With the common name Conflict Lines (Conflict Lines – Introduction and Conflict Set – Parabola), the scenarios aim to support students’ inquiry about sets in the plane that are equidistant from given geometrical figures: a perpendicular bisector as a line equidistant from two points, and a parabola as a curve equidistant from a point and a line. We examine the results from field trials in the classroom regarding students’ formulation and validation of the new knowledge, and we describe the rich situations teachers may face that encourage them to proceed by building on students’ work. This is a crucial and creative moment for the teacher, creating opportunities and moving between students’ discoveries and the intended target knowledge.

The theology of non-violenct Islamic education based on Al-Sira Al-Nabawiyya

Al-Sira Al-Nabawiyya is often used as a reference to violence in Islam, mainly because war narration is so dominantly displayed. The tendency of using Al-Sira Al-Nabawiyya as the basis of violence conception in Islam drives Islamic teaching practices to become violence-oriented. This article presents a re-reading of Al-Sira Al-Nabawiyya by Wakhiduddin Khan, Tariq Ramadan and Satha-Anand, with a mimetic anthropology framework. The reading on Al-Sira resulted in three conclusions. Firstly, there are many non-violence stories at all stages in the life of Prophet Muhammad, since the pre-prophetic era until his death. Secondly, the Prophet Muhammad was a teacher who based his activities on the principles of tawhîd, patience, love, forgiveness and appreciation for humanity. Thirdly, educational activities are Muhammad’s exemplary activities which are full of non-violent values. The findings of this article can be used as the basis for the reformulation of Al-Sira Al-Nabawiyya teaching materials in Islamic Education as well as the basis of teaching activities for Islamic teachers.Contribution: This article contributes to a paradigm shift in teaching the History of the Prophet Muhammad in a peaceful Islamic education system. The peaceful paradigm in this article can also divert the tendency of Islamic extremism to become an Islam that provides peace and prosperity to the universe (rahmatan lil ‘alamin).

Deradicalization in Textbooks of Islamic Religious Education Material with Radicalism in Schools

This article is limited to a literature study dealing with radicalization in educational institutions. More specifically, the authors want to add as much information as possible, so that this paper strengthens the study of literature and data that can strengthen further research. The preliminary results are as follows: radicalism enters through textbooks, by changing the religious understanding of teachers and students, the books used are official books published by the government and private institutions through worksheets. Based on the above problems, the author has indeed tried to look back at some of the teaching materials for Islamic religious education which are mixed with radical ideas as revised by the government and by the community to improve textbooks so that radical understanding can be lost. So it is necessary to reorientate the handling of radicalization which has been done and understood by great people. Efforts to stem radicalism, which have so far been more focused on terrorists or warfighters, have not been carried out much as an understood precaution and radical action.

On the Teachability of Moral

From the perspective of moral connotation and moral conditions, moral is essentially a tendency of human nature to be good, which embodies the practical wisdom of human beings.

The teaching of royalist-nationalist civic education and history in Thai schools: Education for the production of ‘docile subjects’

As a response to the protracted political conflict that has plagued Thailand for over a decade, Thai royalist-nationalists have stated that the problem of Thai political development derives from a lack of ‘citizenship’ characteristics in Thais. In their view, the best solution is to educate the masses and to cultivate civic education by teaching both it and normative Thai ‘core values’, together with royalist-nationalist history, as subjects to students. As a result, students are destined to become patriotic ‘saviours’. They are expected to be strong citizens who can solve the political development ‘problem’ of democracy under the ‘Democratic Regime of the Government with the King as Head of State’. This article seeks to understand how the two topics of civic education and history have been taught in Thai schools for twelve years, covering both primary and secondary schools. What type of Thai citizen does this curriculum desire to produce? The author rigorously analysed a corpus of civic education and history teaching material, and argues that the contents of these topics are designed to transform students into ‘docile subjects’. They are ideally ‘objects’ that are to be ordered and imposed upon by the state ideology, shaping them into ultra-royalists and ultra-nationalists.
