<![CDATA[Cette étude analyse la méthodologie transmissionnelle d’Abū Muḥammad Ibn Ḥazm al-Andalusī (m. 456/1064) comme un cadre critique unifié structurant son approche du ḥadīth, de la narration historique et des Écritures des Gens du Livre. Alors que la recherche contemporaine s’est principalement concentrée sur ses positions juridiques et théologiques, elle a largement négligé l’unité épistémique qui sous-tend son traitement des récits transmis. L’étude vise ainsi à montrer comment l’épistémologie d’Ibn Ḥazm, fondée sur les principes du ḥadīth—notamment la continuité de l’isnād, la probité (ʿadālah) et la précision (ḍabṭ) des transmetteurs—structure non seulement sa critique du ḥadīth, mais également son examen des matériaux historiques et scripturaires, en particulier la Torah. Sur le plan méthodologique, l’analyse repose sur une lecture textuelle approfondie de ses œuvres majeures relatives au ḥadīth, à l’histoire et à la religion comparée, replacées dans le contexte intellectuel andalou et dans la tradition méthodologique des premiers muḥaddithūn, tout en mettant en évidence certaines convergences avec la critique biblique juive et occidentale postérieure. Les résultats montrent qu’Ibn Ḥazm rejette systématiquement tout récit dépourvu de vérification externe rigoureuse ou d’un examen attentif de sa formulation et de ses implications, étendant ainsi les critères classiques du ḥadīth aux récits historiques et aux textes de l’Ancien Testament. Il apparaît dès lors comme l’un des premiers penseurs à élaborer une double critique fondée à la fois sur l’isnād et sur l’analyse textuelle, anticipant des principes que développeront plus tard des figures telles qu’Ibn Khaldūn, Ibn Ezra et Spinoza. L’étude conclut que sa méthode constitue une contribution cohérente et originale à l’histoire de la critique du ḥadīth, de la méthodologie historique et de la critique scripturaire.]]>

<![CDATA[Although the issue of low learning motivation in Physical Education at the elementary school level has received increasing attention in prior studies, research specifically examining the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to enhance students’ motivation in Islamic elementary school contexts remains limited. This study aims to analyze the effect of the PBL model on the learning motivation of elementary school students in Penjas learning. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design involving 40 fifth-grade students at MIS Muhammadiyah Parepare, selected through purposive sampling, with the study conducted in November 2025. Data were collected using a validated learning motivation questionnaire and classroom observation sheets, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The findings indicate a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05), where students taught using the PBL model demonstrated higher motivation scores than those taught through conventional methods. These results contribute to the theoretical development of constructivist learning theory and broaden understanding of student-centered learning implementation in Physical Education at the elementary level, particularly within Islamic school settings. The study concludes that the PBL model plays a crucial role in increasing students’ learning motivation in Physical Education and recommends that teachers adopt PBL as an innovative instructional strategy in Penjas learning. The implications include theoretical contributions to the growing literature on active learning models and practical recommendations for schools and educators to integrate problem-based approaches into Physical Education instruction. Furthermore, the study highlights opportunities for future research on the long-term effects of PBL on students’ affective and psychomotor outcomes in elementary Physical Education.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigates the influence of newspaper discourse on public opinion formation during intra-party elections in Nigeria, with specific focus on the 2022 party primaries. Anchored in Framing Theory, the study examines how selected national newspapers shaped public perceptions of the credibility, transparency, and fairness of the primaries through their patterns of coverage. Library-based desk research and discourse analysis were employed to analyze newspaper content from seven national dailies: The Punch, The Guardian, Vanguard, ThisDay, Daily Trust, The Nation, and Leadership. Particular attention was given to language use, framing devices, and the representation of major political parties, including the APC, PDP, and LP. The findings reveal that the newspapers employed dominant frames such as conflict, power struggle, zoning debate, and internal democracy narratives, which influenced readers’ perceptions of electoral fairness. In some cases, newspaper reports amplified crises and irregularities within certain parties while downplaying similar issues in others. Similarities and differences were also observed in how the newspapers portrayed political parties, with some newspapers offering more critical scrutiny than others. Through the lens of Framing Theory, the study demonstrates how newspaper coverage can shape what the public considers important, credible, and politically significant during sensitive electoral periods such as party primaries. The study concludes that Nigerian newspapers play a significant role in shaping political discourse and public trust during intra-party elections. It recommends improved journalistic training on ethical framing, active media monitoring by regulatory bodies, and stronger collaboration between political parties and the media to foster balanced coverage, strengthen internal party democracy, and support Nigeria’s democratic development.]]>

<![CDATA[Although Civic Education learning has received increasing attention in previous studies, research specifically examining the relationship between students’ perceptions of Civic Education learning and their nationalism attitudes remains limited, particularly among PGSD students in Parepare. This study aims to analyze the relationship between students’ perceptions of Civic Education learning and their nationalism attitudes. A quantitative approach with a survey design was employed, involving 120 respondents selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis. The findings indicate that students’ perceptions of Civic Education learning were in the good category (M = 3.87), while their nationalism attitudes were categorized as high (M = 4.12). The correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between students’ perceptions and nationalism attitudes (r = 0.68, p < .05). These results suggest that positive perceptions of Civic Education learning are associated with stronger nationalism attitudes among students. This study contributes to the theoretical development of civic education and nationalism studies by expanding understanding of how instructional perceptions relate to students’ civic attitudes in higher education contexts. Practically, the findings imply that educators should adopt innovative, contextual, and value-based teaching strategies to strengthen the effectiveness of Civic Education learning and support the development of nationalism attitudes.]]>
