Abstract

ABSTRACT: The industrial based project has become a compulsory assessment for those who enrol in the TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training). The attributes in TVET require a student to be competent in the field to ensure it is comply with the industry’s demands of skilled workforce. During the industrial based project development, an effective supervision that involves the both student and supervisor are greatly needed. Thus, this paper will discuss the implementation of industrial based project in Malaysian TVET and explains the importance of effective supervision in project completion. The content is based on the literature review of previous researches from several sources, including documents, papers, and journals, which aimed to explore the best concept of effective supervision. The main concern is regarding the implementation of industrial based project in Malaysian TVET system, as well as clarifying the importance of effective supervision in students’ industrial based project completion. An EFA (Exploratory Factor Analysis) was conducted over 360 respondents to discover the factors in SIS (Supervisory Input Support). Then, CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) was conducted to determine the AVE (Average Variance Extracted) and GoF (Goodness of Fit) model. The data regarding supervisory input is also discussed. It is hoped to provide a holistic view of effective supervision in developing skilled workforce. The ability to develop effective supervision in TVET should be catered in many ways which reflect the needs of students, for example by providing training to new supervisors. KEY WORDS: Industrial Based Project; Technical and Vocational Education and Training; Student; Skilled Workforce; Effective Supervision.    About the Authors: Dr. Affero Ismail is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Technical and Vocational Education UTHM (Malaysia University of Tun Hussein Onn) in Johor, Malaysia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The desire for freedom and justice, the political fallouts from the structural adjustment programmes, and the entrenched autocratic and repressive political institutions dominant in the most of the parts of Africa. Since 1980s, Africa has been in the process of establishing the principles of good governance for making African institutions and authorities accountable enough to run their own state affairs. Research shows that the continent has made some progress in this area, but more still needs to be achieved.  In this paper, we will examine the recent developments in the field of good governance and consider what is still needed in order to achieve a prosperous and progressive Africa. The research data has been taken from UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), AU (African Union), UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development), WB (World Bank), UNESCO (United Nations on Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization), and AfDB (African Development Bank) research reports. We have tried to highlight the positive aspects of recent developments, and also the transitional aspect of good governance in the African continent. We have also tried to avoid negative dimensions on the basis research data, which definitely shows over the last two decades Africa has made real progress and is still moving towards sustainable development, effective governance, and stable growth. And it is also predicted, at some time in the near future, Africa will have achieved significant growth and economic progress, and will have effective political institutions and better leaders.  KEY WORDS: Good governance, changing dynamics, African continent, sustainable development, stable growth in economic, and better political prospect.  About the Authors: Dr. Hilal Ahmad Wani is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Political Science and Strategic Studies, College of Law and Governance MU (Mekelle University) in Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia; and Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of History Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: The history of education in West Java, Indonesia has been so long. If it is begun with informal education in family life, then its history can be started since people have been familiar with family life, a period of time that has never ended its beginning (time of immemorial) and its ending. Meanwhile, non-formal education is acquired from social interaction between an individual and another, between an individual and his community, and between a community and its surrounding community. The true formal education was gained since Sundanese people in West Java interacted with the great tradition, from the religion and civilization of Hinduism-Buddhist, Islam and Western. These three waves of civilization had influenced our national life, from old times up to recent times, included education sector. This paper, however, tried to discuss the history of education in West Java, its growth and development which had been existed since its earliest time – as long as the existing sources were possible – until the latest education development. Therefore, this paper tried to study the history of education in West Java, starting from Hinduism-Buddhist, Islam, Dutch and Japanese colonial, national independence and up to this recent development period.KEY WORDS: history of education, West Java, Sundanese people and three waves of civilization in Indonesia.About the Author: Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Lecturer at the Department of History Education of UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung and Chairperson of ASPENSI (Association of Indonesian Scholars of History Education).

Accordingly, discussing critically educational philosophy and aim in a nation-state is very important and should always be sought for in order to realize the critical society, especially related to the question of how this nation-state will be built. Every nation-state has contextual education philosophy and aim, which is particular in its own historical and social context. Indonesia, as a nation-state, has unique educational philosophy and aim, and it is the next generation’s job to revitalize and implement it in the real educational praxis. This paper tries to discuss the position and role of LPTK (Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan or Teacher Training Institutions) as one of higher educational institutions that is responsible to educate the professional teachers in Indonesia. It is imperative to reformulate and revitalize the educational philosophy and aim of LPTK, especially related to preparing the candidate of such institution participants – who will be the teachers and educators in the future – in order that educational development in Indonesia can educate the people in one side, and can strengthen self identity in other side as civilized, advanced, modern, prosperous, and social justice nation. KEY WORDS: National philosophy, educational aim, teacher training institutions, and reformulate the position and role of institution.   About the Authors: Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Social Studies Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, West Java; and Joko Purwanto, M.Pd. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Jalan Raya Dukuh Waluh, Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Kashmir is an intractable conflict between the two South Asian countries: India and Pakistan. It had affected people of tiny nation badly. Every individual suffered here in this vale of paradise which was known as the beautiful region across the globe. But its irony that due to unrest, turmoil, and cycle of violence, people lost their kiths and kens; and because of all that, State of Jammu and Kashmir suffered a lot. This valley has seen plenty of untold stories of massive violations of human rights committed by Indian army, police, and by some of the militant groups. Since 1989, the people of Kashmir were killed, tortured, humiliated, and injured. Thousands of the people were killed due to cycle of violence prevalent in Jammu and Kashmir. Thousands of the people got injuries and they became disabled to work. Many are those who lost their beloved children’s, daughters, sisters, mothers, and some women have lost their beloved husbands, who were only the source to care for them. Due to turmoil situations, thousands of the houses and shops were burnt. This study will describe how fundamental rights of the people were encroached and curtailed. It will also highlight how the people of this region were suppressed due to misuse of the armed forces. It is pertinent to mention here that no democracy can be successful where draconian and inhuman laws are prevailing. Democracy can only survive when the dignity of every individual will be respected and safeguarded. Here are tears in every mother’s eyes that lost their beloved children. Everybody here hates violence and is ready to see peaceful Kashmir without any conflict and human rights violations, may this dream of so many become reality.  KEY WORDS: Untold stories, violations, fake encounters, draconian laws, psychological disorder and suicides, disappearances in Kashmir, and human rights.    About the Authors: Dr. Hilal Ahmad Wani is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies UoI (University of Ilorin) in Ilorin, Nigeria; Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Social Studies Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung; and Dr. Joseph Fayeye is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies UoI in Ilorin, Nigeria.
