Abstract

ABSTRACT:  The effect of globalisation on human capital development is decisive. A country that lacks the means to compete in global market is often left behind. Competitiveness is based on a countrys capacity to add value to global economic products, services and processes. A key contributor in this regard is the knowledge and skills of the workforce. The education and skills of the workforce will be the key competitive weapon for the 21st century. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the career satisfaction among vocational teachers in the selected technical secondary schools in Malaysia. The aspects that were studied include the job domain, the work environment and the flow of information within the organisation. A sample of 101 vocational teachers in Technical Secondary Schools in Negeri Sembilan and Melaka was selected. The questionnaire contained three sections: (1) profile of the respondents; (2) job satisfaction; and (3) open-ended questions. Descriptive statistics in the forms of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used for the data analysis. The study found that the environmental and job factors are the aspects which bestow job satisfaction to vocational teachers, while the aspect of flow of information within the organisation was rated low. Therefore, the school administrators need to improve the flow of information in the organisation especially between the administrators and vocational teachers in order to enhance job satisfaction among vocational educators.KEYWORDS: job satisfaction, vocational teachers, human resource development, and Job Descriptive Index in Malaysia.About the Author: Professor Dr. Ramlee Mustapha is the Director of the Centre for Learner Diversity, Faculty of Education UKM (National University of Malaysia) in Bangi, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia.

Abstract

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).

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Power is a phenomenon appearing in the personal, interpersonal and structural behavior. Within the personal behavior, power is a need that has to be realized to get satisfaction. Accordingly, the power that is inherent in an organization is of dynamic character and may be regarded as a driving force to internalize its values so as to enable the organization to increase its adaptability to changes, and its productivity as well, which in their turn will boost its work satisfaction and efficiency. Based on the above statement, we may conclude that power means the ability or force that causes other people to do (or act) according to the desire of the power holder. In short it may be said that the process of building functional power will contribute (highly) to the organizational effectiveness. This paper tries to elaborate, in general overview, the power process in an organization (behavior, structure and process) that has the potential to interfere with the organizations success as a whole, a uniting factor will be much needed. Stated differently, the power process should be viewed as an effort to internalize those values that could make the organization to have the ability to changes, to be more productive, to upgrade the job satisfaction and efficiency. In short it may be said that the functional power process could well contribute to the effectiveness of the organization.KEY WORDS: power, organization, management, leadership, and effectiveness and successful in the organization.About the Author: Dr. Cornelia J.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study is a qualitative research into the implementation of integrated Islamic education in Brunei Darussalam. The Pioneer Schools (Sekolah Rintis) and the Thoughtful School (Sekolah Hatiminda) are solid evidence that Brunei has decided to settle on the integrated Islamic education for its future generations. Some problems surface later which are thought to impede a fully successful implementation of the integrated Islamic education in the country. This work aims to examine the extent of the implementation of the integrated Islamic education system and to evaluate whether there is an evident need to revise the current system. This research has identified, however, the needs to look into the implementation of three main solutions to successfully accomplish the vision of assimilating the integrated Islamic education system in the country in the light of (1) the implementation of the Thoughtful Schooling system; and (2) the Educator’s capability to prepare and practice a good lesson plan, according to the “Eight Steps of the Teaching Learning Process” in the class room.KEY WORDS: integrated Islamic education on teaching and learning, and its hopes and challenges in Brunei Darussalam educational context.  About the Authors: Dr. Maimun Aqsha Lubis is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Educational Methodology and Practices, Faculty of Education UKM (National University of Malaysia); and Ismail Suardi Wekke is a Postgraduate Student for Ford Foundation International Fellowship Program in UKM (National University of Malaysia).

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The mathematical communication is the basic ability which must be possessed by mathematics practitioners and users during teaching-learning process and assessing mathematics. By using Jigsaw technique as a part of cooperative learning, this technique considers students to work interdependently in a group of four to six but at the same time have individual responsibility. Every group is responsible for the mastery of the learning material. The aim of this research, however, was to examine the quality of mathematical communication ability between students who were treated with cooperative learning model and those with conventional model. The population of this study were second grade students of SMUN Banyumas in the academic year 2005/2006. Two classes were taken as sample, each of them had thirty students. Data were collected by means of communication ability test that had satistactory face and content validity and had reliability of 0.5335 (high reliability).

Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the current globalization era, we witness quick changes in all sectors of life, and for the society which is conscious of these changes the mastery of science and technology has become a must. The areas of science and technology chosen are certainly the ones commonly perceived to provide real contribution to the struggle with the changes. With reference to the science of history, the big question which arises is: is the science of history still needed in this globalization era considering most of its objects belong to the past? One of the answers to the question is in order to contextualize the values of history education an alternative in the teaching of history should be generated in the hope that future generation will be aware of the social values for the basis of predicting the future. Hence, learning history means understanding the past for better understanding of the current so that the future can be grabbed much better.KEY WORDS: current globalization, science and technology, science of history, future generation and understanding the past for better understanding of the current.About the Author: Dr. Tanto Sukardi, M.Hum. is a Lecturer at the Department of History Education, Faculty of Education and Teacher Training (FKIP) Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto (UMP) in Central Java, Indonesia.
