Abstract

Afghanistan has struggled poorly regarding women’s education since modern education was brought to the country. Over the last 26 years, women have experienced ups and downs in their access to education in Afghanistan. This study explores women’s access to education in Afghanistan across three different regimes. It was found that women across all three rules have had limited access to education given the diverse culture of the country; cultural restrictions, insecurity, lack of adequate school equipment, and distant school locations were identified as the leading causes behind women’s reduced access to education. Recently, the country experienced another overthrowing of an established government that had helped get 40 percent of women into learning spheres between 2001 and 2021. Now, Afghan women face immense uncertainty about their education in the future, even though the new Taliban regime promised to provide equal access to education. In this research, alongside other barriers to women’s entry to schooling, social and cultural ideologies were also uncovered, which have mainly hindered women’s access to education across the country.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of mathematics modules based on problem-based learning to improve the reasoning ability of eighth grade students at Junior High School (SMPN) 2 Jumapolo. Reasoning ability is one of the goals of mathematics education, the problem is that the reasoning ability of eighth grade students in Indonesia, including at SMPN 2 Jumapolo, is still relatively low. The development of mathematics modules based on problem-based learning is expected to be a solution to overcome these problems. In this study, the mathematics module based on problem-based learning was tested on thirty eighth grade students at SMPN 2 Jumapolo. This research is quasi-experimental research with One Group Pretest Posttest Design. Samples were taken by cluster random sampling. Students are given a pretest to determine the students’ initial reasoning ability. The students were given treatment in the form of learning by using a mathematics module based on problem-based learning. After that, students were given a post-test to measure the students’ final reasoning ability. The data collection technique used in this study was a test of reasoning ability. The data analysis technique used was the paired t-test. Based on the results of the paired t-test, it was found that the students’ final reasoning ability was better than students’ initial reasoning ability. The students’ reasoning ability increased by 52.80 percent. This shows that the mathematics module based on problem-based learning was effective in improving the reasoning ability of grade eight students.

Abstract

Academic procrastination is generally associated with insufficient self-regulated learning. However, through a qualitative cased study, this research looks at another perspective which explores the academic procrastination experienced and the role of self-regulated learning strategies in motivational and behavioral aspects as coping mechanisms during the COVID-19 pandemic. Six research participants, postgraduate students at the National University of Malaysia, were selected through purposive sampling and follow-up interviews. This research discovered that postgraduate students demonstrate academic procrastination behaviors such as delaying starting and completing the task, deferring doing the assignment, having a time gap between planning and actual work, being more easily distracted, yet, having the self-assurance of being able to complete the assignment in time, and exhibiting a perfectionist personality trait. At the same time, academic procrastination was dominantly caused by the ambience of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of social support. This study also discovered that the postgraduate students applied self-regulated learning motivational strategies such as mastery of self-talk, the relevant reinforcement strategy, the self-consequential strategy and the environment-forming strategy in rebuilding and maintaining motivation. Meanwhile, an effort regulation strategy and pursuing social support are carried out in the behavioral aspect of self-regulated learning strategies to reduce indulgence on academic procrastination. Concisely, self-regulated learning strategies have played a significant role in coping with academic procrastination during online learning throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

The juvenile prison system in Indonesia has an educational program that aims to give the inmates rights as human beings. The juveniles are registered as students and follow various school levels such as junior high school, senior high school, and Pendidikan Kesetaraan (Paket A, Paket B, Paket C). During the educational program, they face some problematic issues and challenges. Therefore, the students need other aspects to strengthen their engagement during learning. Spiritual well-being and self-efficacy are assumed to affect and enhance engagement. Therefore, this study focuses on examining these variables. The data collection occurred on 6 January 2022. The sampling method used was a total sampling of Muslim juveniles in the Central Lombok Juvenile Prison. Respondents in this study amounted to 37 juveniles. The inclusion criteria include adolescents aged 12–18 years old who have committed various crimes, are serving time in juvenile prison, are Muslim, and follow the educational program in prison. Results are divided into two main objectives. First, students’ engagement level in attending education in prisons is high. Second, spiritual well-being and self-efficacy affect the level of student engagement. Those who have high spiritual well-being and self-efficacy scores have flourishing engagement. The findings of this study will impact various elements, such as the Directorate General of Corrections in the regulation of juvenile education, as well as teachers and educational staff in organizing schools for adolescents within the criminal justice system.

Abstract

A low level of scientific literacy and application leads students to believe in conspiracy theories (CTs). The purpose of this study was to analyze the accuracy of biology education students’ responses to CTs about COVID-19 and its association with their academic level. The population of this survey research was 134 students at the Department of Biology Education, from a private university located in East Java, Indonesia. The research sample included twenty students with the highest GPA (high academic group) and twenty students with the lowest GPA (low academic group). A CT questionnaire about COVID-19 was used as a data collection instrument. Less than half of the students correctly answered five of the eight CT questions asked. Only four CT items had a response accuracy above 50 percent. Spearman’s rho test revealed that there was no significant correlation between GPA and students’ distrust of CTs. Based on the results of the Kruskal-Wallis H test analysis, the GPA of high and low academic students was significantly different. However, Chi-Square analysis showed that students’ distrust of all CTs asked was not significantly associated with students’ academic level. Concerning the findings of this study, it is necessary for suggesting to reformulate the curriculum for science and biology education to improve the scientific literacy and information literacy of prospective teachers.

Abstract

Patriarchal culture in Indonesia affects vast aspects of social life, including in schools where students acquire an understanding of gender. One of the prominent gender issues in social encounters within a patriarchal culture is the uniquely female experiences of objectification at school. This article draws on data from a qualitative study on Muslim female students in an Indonesian Islamic Middle School to understand female students’ experience of objectification by applying a psychosocial feminist objectification theory (Fredrickson and Robert, 1997). The study finds that non-sexual objectifying treatment from male peers is manifested in male gazes and comments on women’s general physical appearance, and specifically on Islamic apparel—the veil and modest Muslim style clothing. More direct sexual objectification occurs in the form of male gazes and sexual comments on certain body parts, such as the chest and hips. These experiences are understood by female students’ male-centered understanding of the Islamic feminine ideal which contributes to their withdrawal from physical activities at school as in Physical Education and art performance courses. This research argues for separate PE classes as a temporary alternative for the sake of female students’ participation.

Abstract

Islam holds an important position in various human development processes in Indonesia, one of them is in the education sector. The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Religious Affairs established madrasas and Islamic Higher Education as an Islamic-based formal educational institution. Through logic and science, education is the way for humans to develop equally regardless of their gender. Herein lies the role of Islamic-based education to uphold this anti-discrimination principle. This research has the aim of conducting a composite index, namely the Islamic Education Development Index (IEDI) to describe the condition of Islamic education development at the provincial level in Indonesia. In addition, statistical modeling is carried out to see the influence of Islamic education on the Gender Development Index (GDI). The IEDI is a composite index consisting of five indicators including infrastructure accessibility, teaching competence, institutional ranking, outcomes, and quality of the learning process. Based on the research results, the average IEDI score of provinces in Indonesia is 45.13 for the period 2019. The best IEDI score by province is Yogyakarta, reaching a score of 55.00, and the lowest is North Kalimantan, which is only 35.90. Based on modeling results, it was also found that the IEDI has a significant effect on increasing the GDI at the confidence interval (CI) up to 95 percent. Governments can begin to pay more attention to Islamic-based education to optimize this influence.

Abstract

Peace education holds a crucial position within UNESCO’s four pillars of education. Promoting peace was identified as primary focus in the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD). Peace serves as the ultimate objective of education, the agenda set forth by the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD), and is the core principal taught by religious teachings. Despite its significance, achieving complete peace remains elusive within the realms of schools, communities, and world at large. To date, no study has been conducted to investigate the understanding of peace among Muslim students in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to explore the concept of peace, the characteristics of peaceful people, and non-peaceful experiences in schools encountered by students. This study employed a qualitative research approach, utilizing phenomenological method. A total of 28 students, (13 males and 15 females) were selected from Madrasah Aliyah as participants of this study. The data in this study was collected through structured interviews and analyzed qualitatively, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings of this study revealed that students' understanding of peace included elements of self-acceptance, maintaining harmonious relationships with others, and experiencing tranquility. Muslim students acknowledge that maintaining peace requires the individuals to practice the art of patience and composure, self-acceptance and understanding, and the ability to control their emotions. Non-peaceful experiences emerged as a result of various factors, such as favouritism and punitive actions towards students by teachers, including conflicts among students, and as well as instances of bullying, racism, and exclusion. According to the findings, it is evident that there is a need for further improvement in implementing a peaceful environment within schools. Teachers play a vital role in fostering the culture of peace in the classrooms. They can achieve this by creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for students, encouraging their active participation, and facilitating social engagement among students from diverse backgrounds to promote a peaceful school environment.

Abstract

Moral education continues to be a subject of extensive debate within the field of education due to the challenges it poses in both pedagogical implementation and philosophical foundations. This study aims to provide a comprehensive critical review of Indonesia's moral education system by examining its teaching practices in schools and exploring its sociological and structural function within society. This study focuses specifically on Islamic and Pancasila education in Indonesia. To achieve this objective, a semi-systematic literature review approach is employed, incorporating peer-reviewed articles to gather relevant information. This study also employed Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), which enables an analysis of power dynamics and discursive relationships within the realm of moral education in Indonesia. By incorporating the theoretical frameworks proposed by Durkheim's Moral Education and Bourdieu's social capital theory, this study identifies key themes that provide valuable insights into the development and implementation of moral education. This research explores moral education as a means of fostering social integration and social capital that serves to maintain the existing status quo. By examining these aspects, this research offers valuable insights into the role of education as a sociological function that operates within the power structure, and critically assesses the extent of the state’s involvement in the implementation of moral education.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has announced that their latest policy on limited face-to-face learning will be implemented in January 2022. This policy will be applied equally to all educational levels – from early childhood to tertiary institutions. The latest policy will be unlike the previous ones and will require all students to attend the face-to-face learning. The new changes triggered different opinions among parents who are considered to be one of the key stakeholders in decision making process. During the Covid-19 pandemic, parents had the right to decide to whether or not to send their children back to school. This qualitative study aims to explore parents' viewpoints on the limited face-to-face learning policy that will be implemented in 2022. The data was collected from 20 parents in Jabodetabek (Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi) area using Google Form. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with five parents. The data gathered from the questionnaire showed that most parents agreed to send their children back to school. Health protocols, learning loss, and mental health or well-being were the three themes that emerged as the reasons why parents supported the government’s policy to reopen the schools next year.
