Abstract

ABSTRACT: Accountability, transparency, and participation are the central themes of good governance. Good governance can mean different things to different countries. Since each country or region has a different context of governance,which it faces unique governance challenges. Therefore, it is important that the concept of “good governance” is understood in the context of each country and region to find indigenous and pragmatic solutions to problems of governance. The application of the concept of good governance to developing countries that are at different development stages have unintended and serious consequences for the citizens, especially for poor. The issue of transferability of the notion of good governance to developing countries is not being adequately attended to, while formulating a reform agenda mostly backed by international donors, especially in the case of heavily indebted countries. Developing countries are being asked to do everything which works in developed countries and, consequently, the good governance agenda in the developing world has grown long over the years. South Asia is a region rich in culture and tradition and poor in governance and human development. This paper is an attempt to examine the possibility of South Asian model(s) of governance to capture and address the complexities and challenges of governance in this particular region.KEY WORDS: Good governance, constraints and possibilities, democracy and prosperity, and South Asian countries.  About the Authors: Peerzada Tufail Ahmad, M.Phil. is a Ph.D. Student at the Department of International Relations KU (Kirikkale University) in Turkey; and Dr. Hilal Ahmad Wani is a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies UOI (University of Ilorin) in Nigeria.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not the programs and activities employed by the Kadtabanga Foundation for Peace and Development Incorporated (KFPDAI) is a peace-building exemplar. The study may provide valuable information to the Philippine Government and the United Nations Development Program on the specific programs and projects that have been implemented in the conflict affected communities so as to realize one of the provisions of the 1996 GRP-MNLF (Government of the Republic of Philippines – Moro National Liberation Front) Final Peace Agreement which is on the “extensive peace and development efforts in Southern Philippines”. The study may make them aware that the processes and means of Non-Governmental Organizations are rigid and they could assure success. Furthermore, there is still a dearth of materials regarding interventions for the purpose of rebuilding communities affected by armed conflict, especially in the Philippines. This study is hoped to contribute something. Whereas based on the major findings, the researcher concluded that the KFPDAI is a peace-building exemplar. However, there are still challenges, but challenge does not mean they have failed to be a model. When the challenges are known, that is where enhancement begins.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: A questionnaire was formulated to collect data on euthanasia procedures and routines in farmed mink. The principle aim was to clarify the extent and functionality of the main killing methods, i.e. filtered exhaust and cylinder CO (carbon monoxide) and cylinder CO2 (carbon dioxide). The questionnaire was sent to 397 mink farms in Finland and to 143 in the Netherlands. The final response rates were 34.3% for Finland and 24.5% for the Netherlands. The farms in the Netherlands were typically larger than those in Finland. The preferred method of euthanasia in the Netherlands is cylinder CO, which has been shown to work well in that countrys farming system. In Finland, the filtered exhaust CO killing method has a long history, and farmers have grown accustomed to using this special method. The results were as follows: 20.0% of farmers listened outside the killing box, and when there was no sound, they presumed the animals were dead; 20.0% of farmers checked the state of the animals through the inspection window of the box before opening it; 80.0% of farmers waited for 5 minutes or more after the last mink was put into the box before emptying it; 45.7% farmers inspected each individual mink when emptying the box, checking for breathing and movement; and 14.3%  of farmers inspected the mink at the cooling site, checking for breathing and movement. The replies to our questionnaire study suggest that farmers consider that all three euthanasia methods, cylinder CO, cylinder CO2 and filtered exhaust CO are effective and useful ways of killing mink in farming practice.KEY WORDS: Mustela vison, killing methods, social welfare, gas euthanasia, fur farming, and Finland and Netherlands’ farmers. About the Authors: Hannu T.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to identify and analyse the elements contained in the objectives of academic curriculum and co-curricular content in terms of differences, relationships, influences, and understanding of learning skills, thinking skills as a mediator to the confidence to apply the elements of patriotism among students of Post-Graduate Teaching Course for Primary School (PGTC PS) and Bachelor of Teaching for Primary Schools (BT PS) in Institute of Teachers Education (ITE) in Malaysia. This survey study used questionnaires on 289 PGTC PS and BT PS students of the North Zone and East Zone ITE in Peninsular Malaysia. The t-test results showed that there was a significant difference between PGTC PS and BT PS students in terms of understanding on learning skills and thinking skills, but do not have any significant difference in terms of confidence to implement the elements of patriotism. Pearson correlation analysis shows that there was a moderate relationship between the variables of learning skills, thinking skills, academic curriculum, co-curriculum, and the confidence to apply the elements of patriotism among PGTC PS and BT PS students. These findings serve as evidence to the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Malaysia to make recommendations to the ITE to serve as a guide in improving the confidence of trainee students in applying the elements of patriotism.KEY WORDS: Teaching the patriotism, learning skills, thinking skills, mediator, students, and Institute of Teachers Education in Malaysia.   About the Authors: Dr. Ramli Ismail is a Lecturer at the Social Studies Department, Institute of Teachers Training, Sultan Mizan Campus, Besut, Terengganu, Malaysia; and Norwaliza Abdul Wahab is a Counsellor at the SMK (State Senior High School) Seri Pagi, Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Entering the 21st century, there was a new phenomenon in higher education world in Indonesia, especially for institution of education and teacher training. In 2000, for example, ten IKIPs (Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan or Institute of Education and Teacher Training) in Indonesia changed their names into university. 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: Quality education becomes a major issue in higher education. The numbers of graduate students to pursue their higher education keep increasing by years. In the meantime, the institutions of higher learning are striving to attract more students, especially at the graduate level by making every effort to provide quality education. Graduate students contribute to the development of research outcome. Some scholars proposed that the strategic success of a service organization depends on its ability to consistently meet or exceed customer service expectations. A constant effort should be made to ensure the customer satisfaction. This paper provides the relevant input for effective resource development in institutional of higher education. The approach would address the needs of students further along the process with an emphasis on data gathering, management and analysis, compiling a thesis or dissertation, assessment, and the publishing of research results. Another approach would relate to generic aspects of graduate growth, development, and progress. Conceptual evidence is presented which combination of resource needs to focus. It is hoped to contribute a proper insight of effective resource in developing distinguished human capital.KEY WORDS: Higher education, quality education, graduate students, resource development, and student development.    About the Authors: Assoc.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The paper examines the assertion of reservation of seats to economically weaker section (EWS) children in unaided-private schools at state level in consequence of an agreement between a land granting authority and unaided private educational institutions. It involved considerable amount of negotiation and initiative of several stakeholders such as non-governmental organization (NGO), judiciary, and government with the private educational institutions to secure reservation. The author, as a special invitee to the state level committee which was appointed to look into modalities of EWS reservation, has recorded the deliberations which highlight the view points of the representatives of private schools and NGO. Further, interviews with the few parents of EWS children provide information on some of the ground realities. With the inclusion of 25 per cent reservation for EWS children under Right to Education Act 2009 at national level, the issues raised by the stakeholders at state level carry significance in implementation. It is concluded that in addition to effective measures for implementation of reservation for EWS children, it is necessary to improve the functioning of government schools to check excessive exodus of children to unaided-private schools.KEY WORDS: Unaided private schools, economically weaker section, elementary education, equity in education, and social inclusion.About the Author: Dr. Sreekanth Yagnamurthy is an Associate Professor  at the National University of Educational Planning and Administration, 17-B, Sri Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi 110016, India.
