Abstract

In light of current pedagogical and technical problems, this study tackles the growing demand for effective teacher professional development (PD) models in Islamic education. Even while teachers have a crucial role as murabbi in influencing students' intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth, many professional development programs in Islamic institutions are still content-focused and lack a solid theoretical foundation. By analyzing the applicability and efficacy of Vygotsky's social constructivist theory as a framework for teacher professional development in Islamic education, this research aims to close this gap. The study aims to evaluate how Islamic educators' pedagogical competence and reflective practice can be enhanced through Vygotsky-based professional development models, specifically focusing on the concepts of the Zone of Proximal Development, scaffolding, and social interaction. The study employs a qualitative and conceptual research approach, including thematic analysis of pedagogical practices, as well as document analysis of current professional development programs, relevant literature, and Islamic educational sources. The results show that Vygotsky-based PD models are very compatible with Islamic educational ideas, including dialogic instruction, tarbiyah gradualiyyah, and collaborative learning (halaqah). These models support learner-centered teaching methods, professional collaboration, and enhanced instructional methodologies. The conversation emphasizes how incorporating social constructivist theory into Islamic teacher preparation promotes comprehensive education based on moral and spiritual principles while also enhancing pedagogical efficacy. The study comes to the conclusion that a workable and contextually appropriate framework for improving teacher preparation in Islamic education is provided by Vygotsky-based professional development.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to criticize the historical narrative of the 1947 Partition of India that focuses too much on political and state aspects and ignores women's personal experiences. In addition, the concept of intimate archive was introduced to understand how women build meaning in life after violence. Theoretical framework: Approaches used include Feminist Historiography, Trauma Theory, and Critical Archive Studies to show that archives and testimonies are not objective, but rather the result of constructions influenced by power relations and individual experiences. Literature review: Previous literature has tended to focus on macro aspects such as politics and conflict. Instead, this study highlights the work of Saadat Hasan Manto and Amrita Pritam as well as feminist oral histories that describe women's experiences in a more personal and profound way. Methods: The method used is qualitative through close reading of literary works and oral history analysis to explore hidden meanings in women's experiences. Results: Three forms of intimate archive were found, namely meaning in objects, memories in the body, and the use of silence as a strategy. These findings show that women have an active role in shaping identity and meaning in life. Implications: The findings of the study expand the perspective of archives, not only as official data but also as representations of personal experiences. The concept of an intimate archive can also be applied to other studies that address marginalized experiences. Novelty: Novelty lies in the concept of an intimate archive that views testimony as an active process in building meaning, not just a record of experience.
