Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the writer calls into question the yet to be resolved epistemological issues about the way researchers make value claims in support of the authenticity of their research discoveries. The writer offers recognition to existing paradigmatic duality as a necessity for the third wave expressed by proponents of triangulation. Such dichotomy offers room for continuous divergence of opinions on the ways researchers perceive the empirical social world. The paper supports on-going argument that any discussion of the criteria for judging social and educational research findings must confront the issue of relativism. This position resonates through the writer’s encounter and experience with qualitative validity during a classroom study. The conclusion drawn through this encounter is that a research design is not made valid or reliable by the user’s ability to apply many verbose or exoteric terms. Instead such claim is made by the meanings, which the designs and the final report make to those for whom the study is conducted in terms of policy and practice.      KEY WORDS: epistemology, quantitative methods, qualitative research, validity, reliability, and generalisability.About the Author: Dr. Chinedu I.O.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: It is used to discuss multiculturalism comes from liberal philosophy since the latest improvement of the multiculturalism ideas occur in liberalism society like American and European. To understand the meaning of multiculturalism, however, culture is viewed as a dynamic process of human adaptation toward their historical journey as the way to defense their life through a sympathetic involvement in understanding and responding the world. The connection of multiculturalism to liberalism ideas shows that multiculturalism is a further improvement of political philosophy of liberalism, or it may be also inferred that multiculturalism is an antithesis toward liberal political theory itself. However, the ideas of multiculturalism also develop in Islamic tradition. The basic multiculturalism concept in Islam can be traced in daily life of plural society during the Medina government under the Prophet Muhammad SAW (peace be upon him)’s authority and furthermore continued by the next generation. The distinctions of multiculturalism concepts between liberal and Islamic perspectives can be an interesting topic to discuss as an effort to enrich multiculturalism understanding that now becomes a real challenging idea in this globalization era.KEY WORDS: multiculturalism, tolerance, equality, cultural diversity, and liberalism and Islamic perspectives.About the Author: Dr. Isnarmi Moeis is a Lecturer at the Department of Civic Education, Faculty of Social Sciences UNP (State University of Padang), Jalan Prof. Dr. Hamka Kampus UNP Air Tawar, Padang 25131, West Sumatera, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Malay folk literature in early childhood education served as an important agent in child development that involved emotional, thinking and language aspects. Up to this moment not much research has been carried out in Malaysia particularly in the teaching and learning aspects nor has there been an effort to publish “big books”. Hence, this article will discuss the stance taken by university undergraduates, teachers and parents in evaluating Malay folk literature in early childhood education to be used as big books. The data collated and analyzed were taken from 941 respondents comprising 347 graduates, 299 teachers and 295 parents. Results of the study indicated that Malay folk literature can be absorbed into teaching and learning for early childhood with a mean of 4.12 while it can be big books with mean of 4.02. Meanwhile the highest mean value required for placing Malay folk literature genre as big books in early childhood education rests on exemplary stories and animal fables with mean values of 4.22 and 4.19 respectively. The lowest mean value of 3.45 is given to lipurlara stories. The one-way ANOVA analysis has been concluded and has revealed a significant relationship between the graduates, teachers and parents with all the items for the teaching and learning of Malay folk literature or the items for the contents of the big book in early childhood education.KEY WORDS:  Malay folk literature, early childhood education, narrative and non-narrative stories, and big book in Malaysia.  About the Authors: Dr. Chew Fong Peng and Zahari Ishak, M.A. are Lecturers at the Faculty of Education UM (University of Malaya) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The dissemination of the Iqro’ method textbook through Qur’anic kindergartens and Qur’anic schools in Indonesia has encouraged the public’s interest in reconsidering teaching methods and the skill of reading and reciting the Qur’an. Moreover, it has provided a chance to reconsider pre-school education for Muslims in Indonesia from the grass-roots level. In Malaysia, both the elementary schools under the Ministry of Education and private schools are also recommended to use Iqro’ method. However, there are several private organizations in Malaysia that have attempted to maintain their originality by using alternatives to Iqro’, such as Qira’ati and Al-Barqy from Indonesia, and by trying to develop original educational services. This paper tries to explore the dissemination of the Iqro’ method textbook in which it has been revitalized and enriched educational services for Muslims in both Indonesia and Malaysia, by both the government sector and grass-roots efforts across the border.KEY WORDS: the Iqro’ method textbook, Qur’anic kindergartens and Qur’anic schools, and Muslims in both Indonesia and Malaysia.About the Author: Dr. Yuki Nakata is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Law TU (Toyo University), 5-28-20, Hakusan, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 112-8606, Japan.
