Pedagogi Terbeza Untuk Pengajaran Guru Terhadap Kepelbagaian Murid

Beberapa kajian telah menunjukkan terdapat murid kurang menguasai isi pelajaran disebabkan faktor kepelbagaian murid di dalam bilik darjah. Dalam konteks pendidikan, hal ini tidak akan selesai sehingga wujudnya kaedah pengajaran yang baharu yang dapat membantu guru mempelbagaikan kaedah pengajaran yang sesuai untuk kepelbagaian murid di bilik darjah. Antara faktor yang menyumbang kepada murid tidak menguasai isi pelajaran ialah faktor gaya pengajaran guru yang mengajar dengan gaya “one-size-fits-all” tidak sesuai diguna pakai memandangkan murid yang mempunyai kepelbagaian gaya belajar, tahap penguasaan dan berlainan kecerdasan berada di dalam bilik darjah yang sama. Oleh itu, bagi membantu guru dalam menangani masalah murid yang pelbagai di dalam bilik darjah dan guru dapat mengaplikasikan satu bentuk pengajaran yang dapat melengkapi keperluan murid yang pelbagai, satu pendekatan baharu diperkenalkan iaitu melalui Pedagogi Terbeza (Differentiated Pedagogy). Pedagogi Terbeza (Differentiated Pedagogy) merupakan satu konsep pengajaran di mana guru mengubahsuai kandungan iaitu isi pelajaran yang disampaikan oleh guru, proses iaitu strategi pengajaran dan aktiviti pembelajaran, produk merujuk kepada hasil kemahiran yang murid dapat dan dinilai guru dan persekitaran merujuk kepada suasana persekitaran pembelajaran yang kondusif. Elemen-elemen ini akan diubah suai oleh guru mengikut kepelbagaian murid iaitu kesediaan belajar murid, minat murid terhadap pembelajaran dan profil pembelajaran di mana kecenderungan kecerdasan murid dikesan. Kertas konsep ini membincangkan Pedagogi Terbeza (Differentiated Pedagogy) untuk digunakan dalam membantu pengajaran guru mempelbagaikan kaedah pengajaran yang sesuai dengan kepelbagaian murid

Kerangka Konseptual Penghayatan Ibadah Maliyah Mahasiswa Islam

Artikel ini bertujuan memaparkan sorotan literatur yang dikumpul bagi membentuk kerangka konseptual penghayatan ibadah maliyah. Semua perbuatan, amalan serta kegiatan dalam ibadah Islam itu terbahagi kepada lima bentuk iaitu ibadah qawliyyah, jismiyyah, maliyyah, qawliyyah dan jismiyyah dan qawliyyah, jismiyyah dan maliyyah. Di dalam kajian ini ibadah maliyah merujuk kepada pelaksanaan ibadah yang melibatkan harta yang dikhususkan kepada amalan bersedekah . Teori Tingkah laku Terancang yang diwakili oleh sikap, norma subjektif dan kawalan tingkah laku mendasari kerangka konsep ini. Dimensi penghayatan agama sangat disarankan di dalam banyak literatur untuk melengkapi model ini, justeru pengkaji memilih penguasaan ilmu pengetahuan agama dan hubungan emosi (terhadap) agama dan sosialisasi agama ibu bapa digunakan sebagai asas pembentukan kerangka konseptual ini kerana ia menjelaskan sebab kepada tingkah laku keagamaan. Kekuatan pembentukan kerangka konseptual ini ialah penekanan terhadap horizon Islam. Penguasaan ilmu pengetahuan merujuk kepada pemahaman terhadap isi kandungan Al-Quran, Sunnah dan Sirah Rasulullah, manakala hubungan emosi bermaksud hubungan yang rapat dengan Allah

Nurturing Teacher Leadership: A Principal Strategy to Develop Teacher Leader in Madrasah

This research paper aims to interpret the experience of  Islamic school (Madrasah) principals in nurturing leadership skills of Islamic Teaching (PAI) teachers to lead outside the classroom in three State Madrasah of Central Java, Indonesia. It was qualitative research with a Phenomenology approach, using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data was analyzed using the Miles and Huberman Model of analysis by applying three steps: data reduction, data display, and verification. The result shows that the principals of three  Madrasah in Central Java have nurtured PAI teachers leaders by distributing the leadership roles, modeling persistently to lead the various programs,  applying a democratic style of leadership,  building teachers' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to work, applying learning organization by facilitating teamwork, training and development program. Thus, PAI teacher leaders can be developed well in Madrasah, Central Java. This can lead to improving the Human resources teacher quality at Madrasah so that it can face the challenges in this 21st-century era

Nutrient absorption by oil palm primary roots as affected by empty fruit bunch application

Various parts of the oil palm primary roots were tested to determine the part which absorbs nutrients. An understanding of this aspect of nutrient absorption by the oil palm will explain why the application of empty fruit bunches (EFB) is important. Applying EFB increases the amount of roots, thus increasing the palm’s ability to absorb nutrients and hence, potentially making fertilizer applications more effective. To determine which part of the roots collects and absorbs nutrients, various locations on the primary roots, starting from the root tip, were treated with a solution of KH2PO4 containing 5 μg P ml-1 and 4 μCi of carrier-free 32P. The various locations were identified based on their colour, i.e. creamy white for the root tip, beige for that part of the root just after the creamy white portion, and dark brown for the oldest part of the root. After 24 hr of exposure, the amount of radioactivity emitted from each location was determined. Another experiment was conducted to determine the nutrient distribution pattern in the root after the nutrient was absorbed. In this experiment, the root tip and the part of the root that was dark brown in colour were treated with potassium chloride solution laced with 86Rb for 24 hr. After that time period, about 1 cm of each treated root, starting from the root tip and moving towards the palm base was cut, and their radioactivity determined. Results show that the part of the root that was creamy white (root tip) was significantly more active (P<0.05) in absorbing the nutrient compared to the other parts of the root. The amount of nutrient absorbed at that part of the root increased over time and was significantly higher (p<0.05) at 72 hr compared to absorption at 24 hr. The nutrient distribution pattern in the root from the point of exposure towards the palm base was different when the nutrient was absorbed from the root tip compared to the older part of the root which was dark brown in colour. When the nutrient was absorbed at the root tip, the distribution pattern of the nutrient along the length of the root from the tip to the base of the palm showed a certain pattern. Nutrient concentration was highest at the tip of the root and gradually decreased along the root towards the palm base. However, the nutrient distribution in the treatment of the dark brown part of the root did not follow the same pattern. It is suggested that the nutrient collected within the spaces in the older brown part of the root and flowed towards the root tip before being absorbed. Application of EFB increased the mass of roots. The results imply that for fertilizer application to be more effective, the fertilizers should be applied to those places where most of the roots are formed, i.e. especially under the heaps of EFB

Empty fruit bunch application and oil palm root proliferation.

The benefits derived from the application of empty fruit bunches (EFB) included better yields and improved palm nutrient status. These benefits were the result of better soil conditions after applying EFB. Root proliferation resulting from EFB application was observed to be an important factor that led to the better yields and palm nutrient status. The study was conducted on three-year-old DxP palms. Treatments followed an arrangement for the paired t-test with one side of the palm receiving EFB (treatment) at 100 kg per palm while no EFB was applied to the other side of the same palm (which acted as the control). Root samples were collected at three and six months after EFB application. The root masses from both treatment and control were then analysed as a total of all root orders, and also according to each root order, i.e. primary, secondary and tertiary. Comparison of quaternary roots was made using density/unit tertiary root length. Results showed that there was a proliferation of roots at a depth of 30-45 cm three months after EFB were applied. This proliferation occurred in a soil environment which was significantly improved (p<0.05) in terms of total and exchangeable K and total Ca at 15-45 cm soil depth. Significant (p<0.05) improvements in soil pH, soil moisture and P at 0-15 cm soil depth may also have influenced this proliferation of roots. It is postulated that the increased root mass under improved soil conditions implies an enhanced nutrient uptake process which explains the increased yields and better nutrient status

Islamic elementary schools and islamic value leadership power in Malang Indonesia

Islamic principles practice various leadership styles, ranging from trait to transformational leadership styles. The shifts from one style to another have demonstrated some weaknesses of each style and led to the societal rejection of certain styles in response to environmental changes. This study aimed at introducing an Islamic value leadership power (IVLP) style involves four leaders at four elementary schools Malang. Data were collected using interview, observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using qualitative analyze descriptive. The results show that there is significant difference in AL practices according to understanding, appreciation, and experience. However, there exists significant relationship between IVLP and principal‘s working experience. For the principal‘s leadership practice priority, the research has found that community development is the most commonly practiced IVLP dimension by the principals. It is followed by the demonstration of fairness, sincerity, respect and serving others dimension. The major implication is that experienced principals frequently practiced IVLP compared to less experienced principals. Hence, the selection of principals should be based their achievement, not seniority in the education service
