Educating teacher for muallaf: the tawhidic base

The main aim of this paper is to discuss the role of tawhid in developing teacher education system for the muallaf. Basically, every teacher should have good akhlak, since they are generally regarded as the role models or exemplars for their students especially for the muallaf students. These teachers are the persons who directly educate the muallaf about Islam and guide them closely how live as good Muslim. Therefore, in Islam, tawhid is not limited to divine or metaphysical aspects, but it also should be regarded as the universal principle or rule that will guide all human activities in order to confirm to the will of Allah. This primary concept is related to the human being’s temporal duty in this universe as khalīfatullāh, and with his or her permanent duty as ‘abdullāh. As a result, education in Islam cannot be separated from the concept of tawhid. Thus, this concept of tawhid should be correctly understood by the teachers particularly in educating our new Muslim brothers and sisters

Latar belakang guru tahfiz dan amalan kaedah pengajaran tahfiz al-Quran di Malaysia

The aim of this study is to explore the teaching method of Quran memorization (tahfiz) at Darul Quran JAKIM and State Maahad Tahfiz Quran (MTQN). This study involved 103 teachers in 11 institutions of tahfiz and maahad who are teaching the JAKIM Diploma programme at the Tahfiz Darul Quran. The questionnaires were developed by the researcher and the contents were validated by an expert panel. The reliability score of alpha Cronbach for all parts of the questionnaires was found to be high (> 0.9). The quantitative data of the questionnaires were analyzed using the statistical descriptive method such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviations. They were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). This study found that the level of practices effectiveness for teaching methods in tahfiz was moderately high. The result of the inferential studies showed that there was no significant difference between the methods of tahfiz teaching and the teachers’ background (i.e. the gender, types of maahad tahfiz, professional qualification and teachers’ experiences). This result also described that the weak teaching process was not influenced by the teachers’ backgrounds. The implications of this study indicated that the practices of Quran tahfiz teaching should be in line with the development of the educational technology. Staff training programs should be developed to ensure that the teachers have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills in teaching and learning so that the tahfiz education will always be updated with the current educational mainstream

BULLYING BEHAVIOR TOWARDS STUDENTS IN ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: IMPLEMENTATION OF PROBLEM SOLUTIONS

This study aims to find out how to implement problem solutions to bullying behavior that tends to occur in Islamic educational institutions. Islamic educational institutions, which in their curriculum are ensured to have a lot of character education content, are considered not optimal in giving strict sanctions to students who are perpetrators of bullying and all other dishonorable acts. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. To obtain research data, researchers used open interview techniques with informants. The participants in this study were students from 4 Integrated Islamic Middle Schools in Medan City, totaling 4 students. Data triangulation techniques were also used in this study by checking records from interviews, field notes, surveys and also documentation records from various data obtained. The results of the study show that bullying that occurs in several Integrated Islamic schools does not receive serious attention, teachers and schools often ignore this behavior by not providing consequences or punishments so that bullies feel rewarded or empowered for their actions. The school should not tolerate the slightest bit of disgraceful actions committed by students so that it becomes a deterrent effect for other students and parents are also required to be responsible for providing good ethical education in the family. teachers and schools often ignore this behavior by not giving consequences or punishments so that bullies feel rewarded or empowered for their actions.

Such are; i) lower self-competency to use computer, ii) lack of computer facilities provided in shool, iii) lack of computer training for the teachers, and iv) lack of time in designing computer-based learning due to over-task issue in the school

Pelaksanaan amalan talaqqi dan mushafahah dalam kalangan pensyarah Tahfiz al-Quran di Malaysia

Tahfiz al-Quran adalah satu mata pelajaran tradisi yang menjadi kebanggaan umat Islam sepanjang zaman. Kelebihan mempelajari bidang ini telah disebut dalam kebanyakan kitab muktabar karangan ulama silam. Di Malaysia, ia menjadi mata pelajaran teras dan wajib diikuti oleh semua pelajar dalam program tahfiz al-Quran termasuklah Diploma Tahfiz al-Quran wa al-Qiraat di bawah kelolaan Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia. Tonggak penting dalam pengajaran bidang ini adalah pensyarah atau tenaga pengajar yang melaksanakan pengajaran. Artikel ini adalah hasil analisa dapatan kajian berkaitan pelaksanaan amalan talaqqi dan mushafahah dalam pengajaran tahfiz al-Quran di Malaysia. Tulisan ini adalah hasil kajian kualitatif ini terhadap pelaksanaan amalan talaqqi dan mushafahah yang dilakukan semasa sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran tahfiz al-Quran. Seramai enam orang pensyarah Tahfiz al-Quran dari empat buah Maahad Tahfiz di bawah Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia dipilih sebagai peserta di dalam kajian ini. Data kajian ini telah diperoleh melalui temu bual, pemerhatian pengajaran dan analisis dokumen. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan semua peserta kajian menyatakan bahawa mereka mengamalkan kaedah talaqqi dan mushafahah. Namun berdasarkan pemerhatian didapati kaedah tersebut tidak diamalkan sepenuhnya kerana mereka lebih mengutamakan kaedah tasmi’. Secara keseluruhannya dapatan kajian ini diharap dapat dijadikan panduan untuk meningkatkan lagi kualiti pengajaran dan pembelajaran tahfiz al-Quran melalui kaedah talaqqi dan mushafahah kerana kaedah ini telah dipelopori sejak penerimaan wahyu pertama ke atas Junjungan Besar Nabi Muhammad SAW melalui perantaraan Jibril AS

Hubungan iklim sekolah dengan pelaksanaan pengajaran berpandukan pedagogi produktif guru Pendidikan Islam sekolah menengah kebangsaan di Malaysia

Iklim sekolah yang kondusif merupakan salah satu faktor luaran yang berupaya memberi kesan terhadap kualiti pengajaran guru. Namun, realiti dunia pendidikan kini sedang menghadapi cabaran dalam aspek penyediaan iklim sekolah yang kondusif. Kajian ini dilakukan bagi mengenal pasti tahap iklim sekolah, tahap pelaksanaan pengajaran guru berpandukan pedagogi produktif serta hubungan antara iklim sekolah dengan pelaksanaan pengajaran guru berpandukan pedagogi produktif. Kajian berbentuk kajian tinjauan ini melibatkan seramai 454 orang GPI telah terpilih sebagai sampel kajian menggunakan teknik pensampelan rawak berstrata berkadar. Data kajian dikumpul melalui set borang soal selidik dan dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensi menggunakan perisian Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) versi 26.0. Secara keseluruhannya, tahap iklim sekolah dilaporkan berada pada tahap tinggi (min = 4.05) dengan dimensi rakan sejawat memperoleh skor min yang paling tinggi (min=4.41). Tahap pelaksanaan pengajaran GPI berpandukan pedagogi produktif juga berada pada tahap tinggi (min = 4.25) dengan dimensi pengiktirafan perbezaan memperoleh skor min yang paling tinggi (min=4.38). Keputusan ujian korelasi Pearson mendapati wujudnya hubungan yang signifikan positif antara iklim sekolah dengan pelaksanaan pengajaran GPI berpandukan pedagogi produktif dengan kekuatan sederhana (r=0.480, p < 0.05). Kajian ini memberi implikasi bahawa GPI wajar mempertingkatkan kualiti pengajaran dari masa ke semasa seperti menggunakan pendekatan pedagogi produktif. Kajian ini juga memberi implikasi kepada pentadbir sekolah agar memastikan iklim sekolah kekal kondusif demi keselesaan guru menjalankan tugas pengajaran seperti menyelenggara sumber sekolah secara konsisten. Hal ini adalah bertepatan dengan dasar pendidikan negara Malaysia untuk meningkatkan kecekapan penyediaan infrastruktur asas di semua sekolah
