Over the last decade and a half, classrooms have become swamped with a range of electronic devices. Technology will continue to be more efficient, more versatile and indeed more abundant in schools and in classrooms. This study explores the views of students and teachers on the effectiveness of ICT in science teaching in terms of (i) levels of enjoyment derived by students, and (ii) usefulness of ICTs to teachers for their teaching. A questionnaire was used to elicit the views of students and teachers in respect of a range of ICT-based classroom activities. Qualitative and quantitative data collected through the questionnaires from 12 teachers and 100 students involved in science teaching and learning at a selected secondary school in Trinidad were analyzed. The results show that students enjoy ICT interventions in their lessons and teachers rank it high in many respects but, both students and teachers agree that ICT loses its appeal when its use is arbitrary and ill-planned.

abstract Indonesian factory labours deal numerous problems affecting their daily lifes, related to their individual and social needs. Economical chalenge in the global world made them to work as professionals, more over, as a machine. A labour has to concentrate and focus on the producing tools, alienating him self from his social evironment. The communication between a person and a tool is more often taken a place than communication between persons. As the result, their perpectives on other people tend to changes and this could trigger social problems. Social problems are much more complex than individual problems. It is much harder to identify a social problem than an individual roblem. A social problem exists because many people behave, individually, in a social unacceptable way. The resolution of social problems by traditional methods such as by motivating people or forcing them to behave more rationally is a frustating thing. It is the job of our education system and everyone involves. We have to create a better way of teaching, changing the paradigm on how we behave as a labour, for labours are not machine, they are human beings. Era renaisance, kira-kira tujuh abad yang lalu, membuka suasana kehidupan yang benar-benar berbeda dibandingkan dengan kehidupan sebelumnya,terutama di Eropa. Rasionalitas kembali menempati kedudukan yang luhur setelah lama tersingkirkan dan digantikan dengan " iman ". Ketika akal kembali dihargai, kemajuan peradaban di Eropa berjalan dengan cepat. Hal-hal baru ditemukan, terutama dalam bidang ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi. Melalui akal, bangsa Eropa seolah-olah menemukan kehidupan yang baru, kehidupan yang bebas, baik dalam berekspresi maupun bertindak. Dunia tidak lagi dipandang sebagai sebuah hambatan, justru dunia dipandang sebagai sarana pemenuhan kebutuhan manusia. Dunia yang dimaksud di sini bukan sekedar bumi, melainkan alam semesta beserta isinya, termasuk (terutama) manusia.

Abstrak Edukasi merupakan proses bisnis yang selama berabad telah menjadi pilar pe-merintahan dalam membangun bangsa. Proses pelaksanaan edukasi secara global masih belum ada perubahan yang mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Berbagai problem yang dihadapi saat ini oleh pelaksana penyedia jasa edukasi, dalam hal ini sebut saja per-masalahan autentikasi dan verifikasi sertifikat yang merupakan luaran mikro maupun makro dari sebuah proses pembelajaran. Adanya mercusuar tentang Blockchain, dise-but orang orang sebagai solusi dari masalah polemik pendidikan selama ini. Perpaduan ilmu antara bidang edukasi dan teknologi blockchain akan menciptakan revolusi baru dari industri pendidikan yang dirasa mandek dan tidak sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman saat ini. Terdapat berbagai pencerahan dari solusi ini, namun dirasa belum cukup untuk secara detail menjelaskan ontologi dari edukasi menggunakan blockchain, yang secara keseluruhan membahas tentang keberadaan blockchain pada pendidikan berdasarkan kajian ilmu. Ontologi untuk pendidikan ini akan berguna sebagai platform literatur bagi peneliti yang akan memulai penelitian dasar dan terapan yang menjurus ke arah blockchain for education. Disamping itu, adanya kelemahan dan inefisiensi dari blockchain yaitu dari segi biaya, ruang penyimpanan, dan kecepatan akan diusulkan solusinya melalui in-chain dan off-chain protocol dalam bentuk framework. Alhasil, penelitian ini juga bisa menjadi landasan platform baru sebagai solusi bagi pemerintah dalam meluncurkan edukasi berbasis blockchain, yang menjadi cikal bakal untuk menciptakan pemerintahan berbasis blockchain.

Bahasa daerah merupakan suatu kebudayaan yang sepatutnya kita jaga dan kita lestarikan agar tidak punah. Pada era globalisasi ini penggunaan bahasa daerah mulai berkurang. Sekolah merupakan salah satu tempat yang memungkinkan terjadinya keberagaman adat istiadat, suku, ras, agama, maupun bahasa. Untuk itu mata pelajaran bahasa daerah di sekolah haruslah diwajibkan. Melalui pendidikan multikultural upaya penggunaan bahasa daerah dapat lebih meningkat dan akan tetap lestari.

Pendidikan adalah sebuah upaya untuk mengembangkan potensi diri seseorang. Tercapainya self realization (kesadaran diri) yang utuh adalah tujuan umum dalam pendidikan yang prosesnya melalui berbagai aspek lingkungan baik seperti pendidikan formal, informal, ataupun nonformal 1. Hal ini selaras dengan pemikira Al-Ghozali. Beliau memandang konsep pendidikan adalah insan kamil. Insan kamil merupakan mendekatkan diri kepada dunia dan akhirat (taqorrub fid din wal akhirot). Hidup di dunia merupakan sebuah sarana untuk mempersiapkan kehidupan akhirat. Oleh karena itu betapa pentingnya pendidikan bukan hanya untuk menjamin kehidupan di dunia seperti karir dan pekerjaan melainkan juga untuk menjembatani seseorang menghadapi kehidupan di akhirat kelak. Pentingnya pendidikan dalam sistem pendidikan di masa sekarang juga diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 bahwa dalam rangka melaksanakan ketentuan Pasal 34 ayat (4) tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional perlu menetapkan Peraturan Pemerintah tentang Wajib Belajar selama 12 tahun. Hal ini merupakan sebuah upaya memberikan hak pendidikan bagi setiap warga agar mendapatkan kesempatan belajar yang sama untuk melanjutkan ke jenjang berikutnya dan menjadi dasar penunjang karir di masa depan. Tujuan pendidikan Nasional yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 pasal 3 adalah untuk mengembangkan potensi peserta didik agar menjadi manusia yang beriman dan bertakwa kepada

The goal of the current study is to examine the impact of students’ social economic status, ethnicity, and discipline infractions on their standardized test scores in Indiana, the USA. Data from this study extracted from Indiana Department of Education. ISTEP is a criterion-referenced standardized test. It consists of items that assess a student’s performance with respect to particular criteria that was established by the Indiana State Board of Education. Criterion-referenced test scores help us to understand where a student stands in relation to the cut scores based Indiana Academic Standards in English/Language Arts and Mathematics. In fact, the application of ISTEP might be helpful for schools to identify their students’ strengths and weaknesses in these content areas. By doing so, they take necessary steps to plan appropriate instruction for students’ academic development. However, the Indiana Department of Education’s statistical data show that there was a statistically significant achievement gap between students. Accordingly, the current study findings point out that the effects of SES and Race varied among groups. Specifically, African-American students with low SES status had lower scores on ISTEP than their white peers did. In addition, a chi-square analysis showed that disproportionality among African American students appeared to be striking. Findings and educational implications are discussed.

The purpose of the research was to determine the styles of coping with stress among the students studying at the schools which admit the students with a special talent exam. The scope of the research involved the schools which admit the students with a special talent exam, the sample group included total 413 students; 226 males, 187 females, having education at the Faculty of Sport Sciences (SBF), the Dilek Sabancı Conservatory (DSK) and the Faculty of Fine Arts (GSF) in Selçuk University. Firstly, a personal information form and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) developed by Folkman and Lazarus (1980) and created as a short form by Şahin and Durak (1995) were used. By testing the homogenity and variance of data, the Independent Sample t-test for the gender factor, the One Way Anova for multiple comparisons,  the Tukey test for the resources of differences were applied. The Cronbach alpha value was determined to be 0,76 for the Coping Questionnaire. Depending on the gender factor; statistically significant differences were observed in all of sub-dimensions to cope with stress among the SBF, DSK and GSF students (P<0.05). Given the school types, there was a lower point in the SBF student averages concerning the desperation dimension rather than the other two schools as there was a higher average in the Conservatory students’ optimism dimension rather than the other two schools, a lower average in their social support points, these differences were regarded to be statistically significant (P<0.05). In accordance with the school type, differences between active and passive coping strategies did not have stable changes and any specific situation was not observed in the school type. This situation can result from the specific exam criteria and the ability and measurement techniques of the schools which admit the students with a special talent exam.

I must say that illiteracy and poverty are the biggest crimes on earth. And their eradication is the most challenging task. Today what we need is political will. The judiciary can awake and
strengthen this political will by directing the executive to fulfill the constitutional obligation. It is incumbent on the state and it must be urged to do it. Nothing is more necessary for self-esteem than an educated nation. If we are strong in will, it is not too late to seek a newer world.

A qualified education is an education which is able to develop nation character as well as civilization. Therefore, the values of faith, obedience, piousness, virtuous acts, healthiness, knowledge, competence, creativity, self-reliance, democracy and responsibility should be strengthened within educational institutions including students and stakeholders. Nowadays, most schools superficially develop some of the educational aspects, such as, cognitive dimension that is taught through memorizing and psychomotor dimension which is merely a mechanistic process. Meanwhile, other dimensions, such as relational dimension, are not handled properly. Ideally, a qualified school should be able to develop cognitive dimension, not only as a memorization but also as knowledge mastery suitable to students’ capacity as well as their endowment. From this phenomenon, I tried to offer a concept of implementation and development of Islamic education within strategic management framework related to teac...

English language learning is considered as a language that must be learned as it is needed in everyday life in local and global context. In response to students need to learn English, it is obvious that modern technology, i.e. modern environment is ‘ the ’ environment suitable for students’ prosperity nowadays. However, the longer and more complex things are to learn, the more the need to emphasise the importance of evolution in teaching English. This is because our society may be characterised by its diversity, complexity and interconnectedness. The educational systems must embrace this fact and adjust the 21 st century societal needs by using all teaching tools. Young Adults (YA) nowadays are keen on speaking and understanding English, which is spontaneously connected with reading and writing, such as texting, using social media, but when it comes to book/novel reading, there is a believe that they do not prefer real, hard copy books. Of course, they substitute books with technolo...

Abstrak-Keadaan sistem pendidikan di Indonesia yang masih belum merata menjadikan kualitas generasi penerus kurang bagus dalam bersaing dengan penerus generasi lain, seperti pendidikan di pelosok yang jauh dari kota, seperti sistem pendidikan yang kurang baik dalam fasilitas, biaya, tenaga pendidik dan lain sebagainya.

Pendidikan seni sebagai sebuah disiplin ilmu,
meniscayakan posisinya dalam peta ilmu pengetahuan
sebagai bidang yang dapat dikaji dari aspek ontologis,
epistemolgis, dan aksiologis. Sebagai ilmu pengetahuan yang
berada pada rumpun ilmu-ilmu humaniora, secara ontologis,
pendidikan seni mempersoalkan hakikat keberadaan seni
sebagai media pendidikan dengan tujuan untuk membentuk
segi-segi manusia dan kemanusiaan yang memiliki kepekaan
estetik dan kemampuan artistik melalui kegiatan kreatif,
ekspresif, dan apresiatif. Dalam perspektif epistemologis,
pendidikan seni memerlukan suatu strategi dan/atau metode
yang bersifat paradigmatis untuk mewujudkan tujuan tersebut.
Sementara itu, secara aksiologis, tak dapat dinafikan bahwa
melalui pendidikan seni, dapat diperoleh manfaat berupa
nilai-nilai yang berorientasi pada upaya memanusiakan
manusia seutuhnya sebagai mahluk yang memiliki kapasitas
kreatif dan kesadaran budaya. Dengan demikian, pendidikan
seni sebagai ilmu pengetahuan, bukanlah sekadar urusan yang
hanya mengusung hal-hal teknis pembelajaran di kelas semata,
tetapi ia perlu dilihat dan dipahami secara holistik pada ranah
filosofis-ideologis, paradigmatis, dan aksiologisnya.
Dalam kerangka itulah, saya melihat dan memahami
buku yang berjudul “Diskursus Pendidikan Seni Hari Ini” yang
ditulis oleh para mahasiswa Program Doktor Pendidikan Seni
Pascasarjana Universitas Negeri Semarang angkatan tahun
2019. Tulisan dalam buku ini sesungguhnya hasil kreativitas
akademik mahasiswa yang bersumber dari tugas pembuatan
makalah dalam “Mata Kuliah Isu dan Paradigma dalam
Pendidikan Seni”. Judul dan uraian yang dipaparkan oleh
setiap penulis dalam buku ini, sekurang-kurangnya berisi
gagasan-gagasan yang berorientasi pada isu-isu yang bersifat
filosofis-ideologis, paradigmatis, dan aksiologis tentang
pendidikan seni. Hal ini, tentu, relevan dengan kapasitasnya
sebagai mahasiswa calon doktor pendidikan seni.

The concept of education according to Said Nursi's view is an integration of three main elements or subjects which combine religious sciences (al-ulum al-diniyah), science of universe and modern technology (al-ulum al-kauniyah al-haditha) and the values of sufism doctrine. Nursi stated that religious knowledge is the light for heart and modern science is the light of the mind, a combination of both will guide to the truth and minimize the fanaticism and intellectual confusion. The main curriculum of learning that used is the study of the main topics contained in the Risale-i Nur. This concept will combine three holistic manners: spirituality from the religious schools (medrese), science and technology from the secular schools (mekteb) and morality from the sufistic schools (tekke).

SEORANG guru ditanya, hal apakah yang paling menyenangkan dirinya? Guru menjawab bukan uang banyak karena sudah tersertifikasi. Juga bukan dari applaus panjang dari siswanya. Juga bukan saat dipuji, disanjung, digemari, atau saat ditakuti siswanya. Dia sangat bangga kalau muridnya paham dengan apa yang ia ajarkan. Ia sangat puas manakala muridnya berhasil meraih cita-citanya. Ia juga bangga kalau mampu menjelaskan hal yang sulit menjadi mudah. Ia akan bangga kalu mampu memberi pelayanan terbaik bagi muridnya, dan seluruh nasihatnya selalu didengarkan dan diikuti seluruh siswanya.

Ini alasan mengapa pendidikan karakter itu penting untuk anak-anak " Karakter adalah seperti pohon dan reputasi seperti bayangannya. Bayangan itu adalah apa yang kita pikirkan itu; pohon adalah hal yang nyata. "-Abraham Lincoln Presiden Lincoln adalah salah satu pahlawan sepanjang masa yang menghormati karakter manusia dan prinsip-prinsipnya.Menurut pengamatan Lincoln sendiri, karakter adalah hal-hal yang nyata adalah esensi dari siapa kita. metafora tentang pohon mengingatkan kita bahwa membentuk karakter anak-anak pada prinsipnya bahwa dapat menjadi manusia yang manusiawi disuatu waktu yang mana dihormati dan dapat membantu mereka tetap membumi untuk berkembang hingga mengakar sehingga mereka dapat berdiri tegak dan hidup dengan integritas ketika ada dalam tantangan.Selain itu juga dapat menawarkan buah kebaikan,tanggungjawab,dan rasa hormat kepada orang lain.Karakter merupakan agregat dari semua sifat kita dan mencakup semua pikiran,perasaan,kata-kata,dan tindakan. karakter anak-anak kita dibentuk sesuai dengan keadaan saat ini dan mempengaruhi setiap aspek kehidupan mereka saat ini dan masa depan.Sebagai orang tua dan guru,harus bertanggung jawab untuk membesarkan mereka, dan memainkan peran penting dalam membantu anak-anak mengembangkan potensi-potensinya.Banyak pesan bervariasi bahwa anak-anak dapat belajar dari media dan sesuai asosiasi mereka,tetapi itu tidak sesuai dengan yang diharapkan karena mereka hanya mengamati dan mengadopsi karakter yang kurang membuat mereka berkembang.Sebab sebuah ajaran yang konsisten dan menyeluruh dari perilaku etis sangat penting untuk membentuk karakter.Berikut adalah beberapa alasan mengapa pendidikan karakter sangat penting bagi anak-anak: 1.pengembangan karakter adalah dasar untuk pertumbuhan pribadi. Anak-anak harus berlatih untuk terampil yang membantu pengembangan karakter mereka yang mana mereka membangun reservoir kekuatan yang menarik sepanjang hidup mereka. Harga diri, kepercayaan diri,keberanian,ketahanan,integritas,dan pengampunan adalah contoh dari sifat-sifat yang dapat mempertahankan anak-anak di rumah,di sekolah,dan di masyarakat. 2.pengembangan karakter adalah dasar untuk belajar sepanjang hayat.

This study seeks to investigate the relationship between digital citizenship levels of pre-service primary school teachers and their democratic values. The research was designed in descriptive survey model. The research was conducted with the participation of 346 pre-service primary school teachers (juniors and seniors) from Adnan Menderes University and Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University. “Digital Citizenship Scale” developed by İşman and Güngören (2014) and “Democratic Values Scale” developed by Çermik (2013) were used as the data collection tools. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and t-test while the unrelated samples were analyzed through one-way analysis of variance. Also, the relationship between the variables was analyzed by using correlation analysis. The results of the analyses reveal that there is a statistically insignificant difference among the pre-service primary school teachers’ digital citizenship scores in terms of the variables of gender and class. As for the democratic values scores, it is observed that there is a statistically significant difference among the pre-service primary school teachers’ scores in terms of gender, having access to the Internet connection, the duration of the Internet use experience, and the duration of daily Internet use.  There is also a statistically significant difference among the digital citizenship scores in terms of having the Internet connection, the duration of the Internet use experience, the duration of daily Internet use, and perceived level of the Internet using skills. Democratic values scores differ significantly in terms of class and perceived level of the Internet using skills. When the scores taken from the digital citizenship and democratic values scales are analyzed, it is observed that there is a weak positive correlation between these two variables.

Pancasila merupakan pribadi bangsa yang seharusnya tercermin dalam mental dan perilaku anak bangsa maupun pemimpin dan negarawan Indonesia, namun pengamalan nilai-nilai luhur Pancasila di dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat dan bernegara masih jauh dari harapan. Korupsi yang merajalela, meningkatnya kasus narkoba dan banyaknya tindakan asusila merupakan bukti bahwa nafas dan gerak manusia Indonesia belum sejalan dengan norma fundamental bangsa Indonesia yaitu Pancasila

The use of conventional instructional strategy has failed to address negative attitude to listening comprehension. This study, therefore, determined the effects of listening strategies’ instruction on senior secondary school students’ attitude to listening comprehension. This research adopted a pretest, treatment and posttest quasi- experimental factorial design. A total sample of one hundred and twenty participants were randomly selected and assigned to three treatment groups of listening strategies, discourse markers instructions and the control which was not exposed to instruction. The instruments used were: The Listening Attitude Questionnaire, Teachers’ Instructional Guide on listening strategies’ instructions; Teachers Instructional Guide on Modified Conventional Strategy and Evaluation sheet for Assessing Teachers’ Performance on the use of the Strategies (ESAT). Data were analyzed using ANCOVA at 0.05 level of significance. There was a significant difference in the attitude to listening [F(1, 117) = 94.64, p < 0.05]. Those exposed to listening strategies instruction had a better attitude to listening and a better listening comprehension than those exposed to other instructions.

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."-Frederick Douglass Setiap dari kita tentunya setuju, bahwa pendidikan adalah salah satu hal terpenting dalam kehidupan ini. Di dalam era yang penuh kompetisi ini, semua orang berlomba-lomba untuk mendapatkan pendidikan yang terbaik. Siswa-siswi rela meluangkan waktunya untuk belajar atau mengikuti berbagai les agar dapat meraih nilai yang baik atau agar diterima di sekolah/perguruan tinggi yang baik. Dalam hal ini, orang tua juga rela mengeluarkan dana dalam jumlah yang cukup besar untuk mendukung anaknya unggul dalam pendidikan. Bapak Peni Suparto, mantan Walikota Malang mengatakan: "Sekarang ini kita saksikan persaingan kualitas yang luar biasa ketatnya, tidak hanya lintas regional, nasional tetapi bahkan persaingan kualitas generasi tingkat dunia." 2 Sayangnya, pendidikan di Indonesia ini belum merata. Pendidikan di Indonesia masih hanya terpusat di kota-kota besar saja. 3 Memang benar bahwa pemerintah telah mencanangkan dan juga melaksanakan program sekolah gratis di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia.
