Abstract

Graphology, the study of handwriting, has been used to interpret an individual's character and personality. This study examined the application of graphology in assessing the communication and social interaction abilities of deaf people. Deaf individuals face challenges in building social relationships and communicating with others because of their hearing impairment and reliance on nonverbal communication techniques such as sign language. Previous research has explored the potential of graphology in diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and mental retardation as well as in revealing the psychological aspects of historical figures. However, few studies have investigated the application of graphology in assessing the counseling needs of deaf individuals. This study employed a qualitative approach to analyze the handwriting samples of deaf participants using graphological techniques. The findings revealed that intensifying and reducing signs in the handwriting of deaf individuals influenced their communication and social interaction abilities. This study highlights the potential of graphology as an alternative assessment tool for understanding the characteristics and conditions of deaf individuals, without relying on oral communication. These results contribute to the field of counseling by providing insights for assessors, such as psychologists and counselors, to develop appropriate interventions and approaches tailored to the unique needs of deaf individuals. Further research is recommended to explore the effectiveness of graphology-based interventions in enhancing communication and social interaction skills of deaf individuals.

Abstract

Curriculum management is a vital component of education, encompassing the processes of planning, implementation, evaluation, and continuous development. This study aims to explore various stages of curriculum management, focusing on the curriculum's relevance to student needs, technological advancements, and the challenges faced during its implementation. The research employs a literature review method by analyzing various relevant sources to obtain comprehensive insights into curriculum management. The findings indicate that effective curriculum planning must be based on an analysis of student needs, alignment with labor market demands, and the latest technological developments. In its implementation, teachers play a crucial role as facilitators in integrating innovative learning methods, such as project-based learning and the use of technology. Curriculum evaluation is essential to assess the effectiveness of learning and the relevance of teaching materials. The primary challenges in curriculum management include resistance to change, limited resources, and inadequate use of technology in teaching. Therefore, curriculum innovation, including the adoption of technology and project-based approaches, can enhance learning effectiveness and better prepare students for future challenges. Collaboration among educational institutions, industries, and the community is also pivotal in creating a more relevant and adaptive curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the development model of Islamic educational institutions, specifically focusing on MTs Islamiyah YPI Batang Kuis, to understand the stages and strategies utilized in managing institutional growth and curriculum integration. Using a qualitative, phenomenological approach, this research collects data through observation, interviews, and documentation. Findings reveal a four-stage institutional development model: (1) Diagnosis, where the madrasah head identifies and analyzes institutional challenges; (2) Intervention, which involves implementing solutions to address these challenges; (3) Evaluation, through which the outcomes of interventions are assessed; and (4) Maintenance, aiming to sustain and refine the positive results achieved. Furthermore, MTs Islamiyah YPI Batang Kuis operates as a full-day school, utilizing a dual-curriculum model from both the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Religious Affairs, highlighting a structured approach to Islamic education management.
