Abstract

This study examines the role of traditional rulers in peacebuilding efforts in Northeast Nigeria, focusing on the states of Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, and Gombe using a qualitative case study approach. The case study design allows for an in-depth exploration of real-life interactions, contextual factors, and lived experiences within conflict-affected communities. The study's population includes representatives from local and international NGOs, traditional rulers (e.g., emirs, district heads, village chiefs), and community leaders involved in peace and reconciliation processes. A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants with relevant expertise and experience in peacebuilding efforts. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and key informant interviews (KIIs), providing rich qualitative insights into the roles and contributions of key stakeholders. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data, identifying recurrent themes and patterns related to peacebuilding and collaboration. The findings reveal the critical role of traditional rulers in conflict mediation and the positive impact of NGO-traditional ruler partnerships. Challenges such as resource limitations, security concerns, and the erosion of authority among younger generations were identified. The study highlights the importance of strengthening these collaborations to enhance peacebuilding outcomes in the region.

Abstract

This study examines one of the foundational pillars of Islam—faith and creed (ʿaqīdah and īmān)—with particular emphasis on the theological contributions of the Ashʿarī school. It explores the core principles, key issues, and interpretative frameworks developed by Ashʿarī theologians, aiming to render the Ashʿarite creed more accessible to contemporary audiences while elucidating its foundations, objectives, and role as a representative Sunni doctrine marked by moderation and balance. Central to the study is the question of the primary theological underpinnings of Ashʿarism and how these differ from other doctrinal traditions. Through a dual methodology—descriptive, in presenting the views of prominent Ashʿarī scholars, and comparative-analytical, in examining their arguments and theological constructs—the research offers a structured analysis of Ashʿarī positions within the broader landscape of Islamic theology. The findings affirm that Ashʿarism constitutes a distinct Sunni theological paradigm grounded in rational moderation, rejecting both extremism and rigid literalism. Its synthesis of revealed texts with rational deliberation serves as a safeguard against intellectual and doctrinal deviation, thereby reinforcing its enduring relevance in guiding Islamic thought and preserving theological integrity.

Abstract

Recurrent ethnic conflicts in Southern Taraba Senatorial District have significantly affected socio-economic stability, prompting this study titled Ethnic Conflict and Trading Activities in Southern Taraba Senatorial District, Taraba State. The research investigates the impact of ethnic conflict on trading and marketing activities, with specific objectives to identify the underlying causes of conflict, assess its effects on trade, and propose strategies for sustainable peace. Grounded in the Frustration–Aggression Theory, the study explains how prolonged deprivation, inequality, and perceived injustice serve as catalysts for violent inter-ethnic confrontations. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted, involving 400 respondents selected from a population of 1,520,700 across Wukari, Donga, Ibi, Takum, and Ussa Local Government Areas, using the Taro Yamane formula. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews with key informants, including religious and traditional leaders. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative responses underwent thematic interpretation. The findings indicate that ethnic rivalry, political marginalization, resource competition, and poverty are primary drivers of conflict in the region. Ethnic violence has significantly disrupted commercial activities through market destruction, loss of merchandise, trader displacement, and inflation in commodity prices. The study concludes that ethnic conflict poses a major threat to economic sustainability in Southern Taraba. It recommends a shift from reactive conflict resolution to proactive prevention by promoting inclusive governance, institutionalized dialogue, and peace education. Additionally, rehabilitating damaged market infrastructure and providing financial support to displaced traders are essential for economic recovery and long-term peacebuilding in the region.

Abstract

Cette recherche revêt une grande importance car elle explore les divers obstacles auxquels les étudiants sont confrontés dans la compréhension des textes académiques, en particulier dans les études de hadith, dans les pays non arabophones. L’objectif principal de cette étude est d’identifier les facteurs qui contribuent aux faiblesses des étudiants dans la maîtrise de la matière, tels que des compétences linguistiques faibles, un manque d'application pratique et un accès limité aux sources originales. L'un des problèmes clés est la dépendance des étudiants à la mémorisation, ce qui entraîne un manque de compréhension approfondie. L'étude adopte une approche qualitative, en s'appuyant sur l'expérience personnelle du chercheur au Maroc, aux Émirats arabes unis et au Qatar, ainsi que sur des observations des étudiants à l'Université Islamique Sultan Sharif Ali. Les résultats indiquent qu'un manque d'éducation solide en langue arabe, combiné à un manque d'accent sur les compétences orales et de discussion, a contribué aux difficultés de compréhension des sciences du hadith. Par conséquent, l'étude suggère une répartition plus équilibrée du programme sur toutes les années académiques, une utilisation accrue des sources primaires dans l'enseignement, et des exercices pratiques supplémentaires dans les études de hadith. De plus, il est recommandé d'augmenter les heures de crédit attribuées aux sciences du hadith et au Takhreej pour garantir une meilleure compréhension.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of principals’ conflict management, interpersonal communication, and work climate on teacher performance in public elementary schools in the Tabongo sub-district. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational design, the research involved a population of all elementary school teachers in the Tabongo sub-district, with the sample selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and analyzed using multiple linear regression to examine the direct effects of each independent variable on the dependent variable. The results show that (1) principals’ conflict management has a direct positive and significant influence on teacher performance; (2) interpersonal communication has a direct positive and significant influence on teacher performance; (3) work climate has a direct positive and significant influence on teacher performance; (4) principals’ conflict management has a direct positive and significant influence on work climate; and (5) interpersonal communication has a direct positive and significant influence on work climate. These findings indicate that strengthening principals’ capacity in conflict management, enhancing interpersonal communication, and fostering a positive work climate are critical for optimizing teacher performance. The study contributes empirical evidence to the literature on educational management and underscores the importance of school leadership and organizational conditions in improving teacher performance in elementary education settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Storyline Approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction, with a focus on teacher practices and student responses at SMP Negeri 2 Gorontalo. It aims to explore how the Storyline Approach is operationalized in classroom instruction and to examine its impact on students’ writing development and perceptions. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with the English teacher, and document analysis of lesson plans, complemented by analysis of students’ writing scores from pre-tests and post-tests. The findings reveal that the teacher implemented the Storyline Approach systematically through clearly defined stages, including context creation, character and setting development, plot construction, language focus, and reflection, thereby creating a meaningful and contextualized learning environment that actively engaged students in the writing process. Quantitative evidence from students’ writing scores indicates consistent improvement across multiple themes, particularly in grammar, text organization, content development, and coherence. In addition, students demonstrated positive responses toward storyline-based instruction, reflected in increased motivation, participation, and confidence in writing. The study concludes that the Storyline Approach constitutes an effective and sustainable instructional strategy for enhancing EFL writing skills at the junior secondary school level and contributes to the growing body of research on contextual and student-centered approaches in EFL writing instruction in Indonesian educational settings.
