Abstract

ABSTRACT: Organizational effectiveness is a concept of how effective an organization is in achieving the outcomes the organizations intends to produce. Every organization regardless of industry or country seeks to be more effective and achieve superior results. Academic organizations are not less different. The public at large has become more conscious of its institutions of higher education. And universities, as a part of its main objective, conduct several studies for the societal benefits. However, there are a very few studies conducted on these institutions themselves, even though a part of the national budget is set aside for the development of societal reforming organizations like schools and universities. In other words, though a widely used and researched area, there still exists a lack of clarity with regard to the general understanding of organizational effectiveness and this goes true for academic institutions as well. The system of education needs to conduct its own research into the identification of the variables and factors associated with effectiveness. However, the meaning of the effectiveness of an educational institution is defined as its successful operation in terms of awareness of the organizational missions by the administrator, faculty members, and the support staff. This paper attempts to understand the basis of attaining effectiveness in academic institutions and also attempts to reflect on the ways in which effectiveness can be enhanced. Finally, no single model accurately describes the conditions in an institution, instead multiple models provide a richer understanding of organizational outcomes.KEY WORDS: Organizational effectiveness, academic organizations, organized anarchy, students, faculty members, administrators, and universities.===About the Authors: Namitha Elizabeth Jacob is a Research Scholar at the Department of Psychology, University of Calicut, Kerala, India; and Dr. Baby Shari is a Reader at the same Department, University of Calicut, Kerala, India.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the module development model for “tafaqquh” at the mosque. The “tafaqquh” programme has been systematically conducted jointly by Malaysia Islamic Development Department, the State Islamic Affairs Department and mosques’ management committees. The programme has been made successful and effective by the contribution and cooperation of “takmir” teachers who  have been  appointed and trained intensively. These “takmir” teachers play very significant roles in the realisation of the aspiration and the scheme in developing knowledgeable society through the involvement of the mosque. To get the holistic view of the theme and subject of the study, focus is made on several key elements: the history of the development of Islamic studies module in the societies of the Muslim civilization; Islamic education theory which correlates to the National Philosophy of Islamic Education; “fiqh” learning method from the current methodology and pedagogy; and finally the presentation of the current “tafaqquh” module of alternative Islam in Malaysia. The learning of “fiqh” must be viewed from a broad context and it should be able to have an influence on the life of human beings from all living aspects.The philosophy of Islamic education, which is based on Al-Qur’an and Al-Sunnah, should be able to be implemented realistically. The modification and upgrade of  the “fiqh” learning syllabus in mosques require a drastic approach, besides practical module construction. Through these, it is hoped that the learning of “fiqh” through the “tafaqquh” program in mosques will progress on par with modernisation and current “’urf” awareness in the society.KEY WORDS: “Tafaqquh” programme, “fiqh” learning, Islamic education, national philosophy, Muslim society, and mosques in Malaysia.About the Author: Dr. Alias Azhar is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Law, College of Law, Government, and International Studies UUM (University of Utara Malaysia), 06010 Sintok, Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Education is power.  It is empowerment. The dictums such as Aristotle’s “Education is the best provision for old age”; Francis Bacon’s “Knowledge is power”; Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s “Pen is mightier than sword”; and many others are well known. They unveil the fact that education is a tool by which we can change our life as well as the life of others. Better the education in the society, more developed the society will be. In fact, education of a country in general and higher education in particular is very important for the growth and development of the society. India is now considered to be one of the most promising economies of the world. It is evident by the fact that India’s Higher Education system is third largest in the world after China and United States of America (USA).Only quantity is not enough, quality is also very important; there are some issues and impediments which need immediate attention, like shortage of teachers, poor access to higher education. This paper is an attempt to discuss the issues in the higher education system of India, and also suggest some ways to cope up with these issues. We concluded that higher education system in India is not heading towards right direction; rather, it is heading towards wrong direction. If it wants to head towards right direction, then, the problems and issues should be taken seriously and solved on priority basis and then only our India’s higher education system can come on the right track and consequently can compete with the world’s best higher education system.KEY WORDS: Education, higher education, relevance, right direction, publication or multiplication, plagiarism, quality and quantity, and India’s nation-state.  About the Authors: Dr. Mohammad Parvez is an Associate Professor at the Department of Education AMU (Aligarh Muslim University), Aligarh 202002, UP (Uttar Pradesh), India; and Mohd Shakir is a Research Scholar at the Department of Education AMU, Aligarh, 202002, UP, India.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: International-level migration among young people is an effective way for students to be exposed to cultural diversity in order to develop global awareness, personal competence, intercultural skills, and prospective careers for the future. In addition, an individual with intercultural skills has an advantage in effective teamwork or collaboration with others in a multi-cultural workplace. The purpose of this article is to determine differences in level of four learning outcomes on the impacts of socio-cultural adaptation in Japan from the Malaysian international students’ perspectives (N=245). Using the statistical method of Friedman test, analysis revealed significant differences in level of learning outcomes [χ2 (3, N = 245) = 480.173, p < .05] with mean ranks of personal competence (2.27); intercultural competence (3.99); global competence (2.07); and skills competence (1.67). In addition, qualitative analysis through narrative method demonstrated that the struggles of adaptation issue significantly influence impacts on students’ learning and development: independence, self-confidence, expanding world-view, psychological adjustment, understanding of cultural differences, self-cultural awareness, objectivity in making decision, and problem-solving skills. Individuals living abroad deal with various challenges and difficulties situations, such as new physical environment, difference in customary practices, difference in way of thinking, language barrier, cultural shock, lack of emotional support, and difficulty in maintaining own values and beliefs. The researchers believe that for a successful socio-cultural adaptation, individuals need to express their willingness to learn and accept other cultures through psychological, behaviour, and cognitive changes.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This research was intended to explore how students make meaning whenever they read a literary text. It employed a qualitative method to find out how students responded to literary text in meaning making, type of responses produced by students after reading a literary text, and condition where students produced those responses. It was a case study involving seven students who were taking a course of Prose and their teacher. Classroom observation, questionnaire, and interview served as the data collection method. The result of this research indicated that students responded to literary text in making meaning through multiple reading with different purposes ranging from reading for gaining general idea, reading for learning from the text to reading for searching information. In addition, the way students read a literary text was through the continuum from aesthetic reading to efferent reading. The process of making meaning was demonstrated by most students through questioning about text itself and bringing the text to their lives. Students posed questions dealing with the element of story. Responses that students produced after reading a literary text was different, vary from restatement, associative, figurative, and emotional responses. Based on these findings, it is recommended for teachers that they should be explicit in stating their expectation on what students should achieve. Meanwhile, although students themselves who provide and choose literary text, they should select literary text based on their reading skills, in case of choosing the easy ones.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Kashmir is an intractable conflict between the two South Asian countries: India and Pakistan. It had affected people of tiny nation badly. Every individual suffered here in this vale of paradise which was known as the beautiful region across the globe. But its irony that due to unrest, turmoil, and cycle of violence, people lost their kiths and kens; and because of all that, State of Jammu and Kashmir suffered a lot. This valley has seen plenty of untold stories of massive violations of human rights committed by Indian army, police, and by some of the militant groups. Since 1989, the people of Kashmir were killed, tortured, humiliated, and injured. Thousands of the people were killed due to cycle of violence prevalent in Jammu and Kashmir. Thousands of the people got injuries and they became disabled to work. Many are those who lost their beloved children’s, daughters, sisters, mothers, and some women have lost their beloved husbands, who were only the source to care for them. Due to turmoil situations, thousands of the houses and shops were burnt. This study will describe how fundamental rights of the people were encroached and curtailed. It will also highlight how the people of this region were suppressed due to misuse of the armed forces. It is pertinent to mention here that no democracy can be successful where draconian and inhuman laws are prevailing. Democracy can only survive when the dignity of every individual will be respected and safeguarded. Here are tears in every mother’s eyes that lost their beloved children. Everybody here hates violence and is ready to see peaceful Kashmir without any conflict and human rights violations, may this dream of so many become reality.  KEY WORDS: Untold stories, violations, fake encounters, draconian laws, psychological disorder and suicides, disappearances in Kashmir, and human rights.    About the Authors: Dr. Hilal Ahmad Wani is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies UoI (University of Ilorin) in Ilorin, Nigeria; Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Social Studies Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung; and Dr. Joseph Fayeye is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies UoI in Ilorin, Nigeria.
