This study set out with the aim of understanding the teaching of religious moderation from a Sufistic perspective and its implications for increasing student competencies. The participants for the study comprised 100 students and 40 lecturers involved in Al-Quran and Tafsir science at the Ushuluddin Faculty at IAIN Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The research adopted a qualitative approach, with data being collected through observation, interviews, and documentary studies that focused on the research themes of religious moderation, the Sufistic perspective, and student competencies. The findings revealed that according to some Sufistic commentators, religious moderation comprises the moderate values of 1) maintaining brotherly relations with other people, 2) appreciating people's differences, 3) showing tolerance and dismissing fanaticism, and 4) thinking ahead. This has implications for students' competencies, because teaching religious moderation encourages them to gain a better-quality interpretation of the Quran, so they can develop better reasoning, understanding, and professional skills. Students are therefore guided to become superior Muslim scholars who are professional and qualified to respond to the challenges of the times. These findings are expected to reinforce the importance of the Quranic values in moderate Islamic education, especially those related to the role of religious moderation in increasing student competence in terms their morality and religious spirituality. Islamic universities therefore need to consider various studies of interpretative science as a reference for transforming Islamic religious education in an era of technological disruption and radicalism.

Indonesian political thinking is divided in two: political Islam and secular politics. Soekarno and Mohammad Natsir were dominant political figures in Indonesia, with the former being a secular nationalist, and the latter being an Islamist. Both these leaders inherited ideological disparities, and these distinctions separate political Islam from secular nationalism. This presents an academic opportunity, because such a phenomenon can act as material for research to invent and develop new ideas. This study took a qualitative approach and used both primary and secondary data sources, and a collection of publications and documents were examined to inform this research. The primary and secondary data were therefore analyzed qualitatively to construct a theory. Due to the national arguments during the early years of independence, both Islamic and secular nationalist ideologies emerged. Soekarno and Muhammad Yamin's version of Pancasila (the Five Basic Principles) was advocated as the national principle by the nationalist circle. This ideological issue has been debated since the presidential decree legalized the Jakarta Charter, which established an ideal constitutional vision for the country and state. As a result, the Jakarta Charter was implemented in law as part of the 1945 Constitution.

The purpose of the article was to analyze the psychological and pedagogical conditions of word-formation skills for Kazakh-speaking preschool children with speech disorders on the basis of learning theories and contemporary approaches. To achieve the set aim, we have studied psychophysiological peculiarities of preschool children with speech disorder. We have allocated the most significant learning theories and approaches, which promote the assimilation of word-formation. We have come to understand that the indicators of speech development of many modern Kazakh-speaking preschoolers do not correspond to the age norm, which is influenced by word-formation operations. For Kazakh-speaking preschool children with speech disorders it is rather difficult to distinguish elementary forms as the original word, consisting of a stem and a derivative by including diminutive-affectionate suffixes. The driving forces of word-formation development of Kazakh-speaking preschoolers with speech disorders are contradictions that arise in connection with the development of a number of its needs. It should be pointed out that game technology is considered as the most powerful pedagogical condition in the development of Kazakh-speaking preschool children with speech disorders.

A doctoral degree is perceived as a milestone in one's expedition of educational advancement; however, studies show that 40% to 60% of doctoral candidates do not possess the persistence to complete their degree. The purpose of this phenomenological inquiry is to explore the factors that contribute towards increasing the persistence level among doctoral students. Semi-structured in-person interviews of eight participants (four male and four female) selected through snowball sampling were conducted in a university setting. Thematic analysis of data identified certain intrinsic motivational factors including career progression, gaining subject command, and the desire to achieve self-actualization. Autonomy, sense of purpose, self-determination, and problem-solving skills were found to be the most effective factors that promote resiliency in the students to help complete their degrees. These research findings would help the faculty and the administrators in designing an efficient recruitment program to select the candidates with a prospective potential. Further, it would help in devising the mentoring and counseling programs to develop the identified traits in the enrolled doctoral candidates to promote their retention in the doctoral program.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of education given through digital resources on the language didactic potential of students with the views of teachers. 40 primary school teachers who teach 1st-4th-grade students in various provinces of Kazakhstan participated in the research. In the research, case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The research data were collected through a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher in order to get the opinions of the teachers who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. The research data were analysed by the content analysis technique. As a result of the research, it has been determined that teachers are prone to use technology and partially use digital resources in their lessons. However, teachers stated that they are more open to the use of digital resources if the opportunity is given. In addition, although most of the teachers state that the use of digital resources has no effect on increasing the workload of the teacher, some define it as a workload. With regard to the digital resources used in the course, teachers stated that it partially increased teacher success and that it had a positive effect on student success and student motivation. The research findings reveal that teachers need to receive supportive training on the use of digital resources in education.

Today, as many as two million Uighurs (WEE-guhrs)--a predominately Muslim, Turkish ethnic minority group--in China's northwest Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) have been arbitrarily detained in highly-secretive, government-run mass detention centers. After years of conducting intensive surveillance--which included the collecting of biometric data and the seizing of passports--the Chinese government began imprisoning hundreds of thousands under the guise of expelling religious extremism. These detention centers have been likened to the concentration camps of Nazi Germany; and satellite imagery, leaked government documents, and testimony from released Uighur detainees have revealed numerous accounts of torture, starvation, brainwashing, organ harvesting, sexual harassment, and even execution occurring inside the camps. However, while the international community has covered the crisis, it has not been covered in sufficient depth to result in any form of large-scale, cohesive international action to protect the Uighurs. Through an analysis of over 400 news articles obtained from the ProQuest News and Newspapers database, this thesis investigates the potential reasons for why this massive-scale human rights violation has failed to garner substantial international action to put a stop to the Chinese government's systematic repression of the Uighurs. Three theories are presented for this apparent global apathy: (1) Our international human rights organizations are ineffective and lack an enforcement component, (2) China's strict censorship laws, propaganda, and misinformation campaigns have been relatively successful in keeping the issue out of international spotlight, and (3) China is a global economic superpower upon which the rest of the world relies, and we are afraid to question its legitimacy in terms of human rights.

Studying abroad is arguably one of higher education's most effective ways of developing students' global competency and preparing them to enter a global workforce. This study explores the relationship between demographic characteristics, college experiences (personal, social, and academic), and study abroad participation among college students. This study first summarizes previous findings on how college students view and make decisions about study abroad opportunities. Next, data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is used to examine how campus engagement impacts a student's propensity to study abroad. Findings reveal that gender, race, major, and SES are important predictors of participation in study abroad. More important, the results of the study also reveal that academic experiences specific to diversity and societal awareness increased propensity to study abroad.

Women have a strategic role in managing and exploiting environmental potential. However, women particularly in tourism still face many obstacles in terms of capital resources, transformation and information, as well as the knowledge and skills of managing local potential. Through the action research method, this activity attempted to investigate whether digital literacy-based information technology can be used as an empowerment model for women in tourist villages. The study showed that technology may be used by women in tourist villages to expose their culinary products. This action was community based and it was found that it could trigger a group of women to continue learning and adapting with the current trends of marketing. The technology used to increase women's skills in tourist villages was through the introduction and examples of several social media applications that can be used for tourist attraction. It can be concluded that women should be encouraged to be digitally literate and able to access a wide range of learning resources.

This study aims to assess the relationship between crash outcomes and the knowledge of mobile phone hazards, attitude towards mobile phone use, and practices of mobile phone use among urban Nigerian drivers. The study used a quantitative cross-sectional analytical design. A total of 377 completed responses were obtained through a self-administered questionnaire. The outcome measures were self-reported crash involvement, self-reported crash injury, and self-reported mobile phonerelated crash involvement. The main predictor variables were the knowledge of mobile phone hazards while driving, attitude towards mobile phone use while driving, and practices of phone use while driving. Age, sex, marital status, level of education, and driving experience were used as potential confounders. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to compute the unadjusted and adjusted odds of each crash outcome. The results show almost 75% of the study population reported that they had been involved in a crash event and sustained crash injuries in the past. Drivers with poor knowledge of mobile phone hazards while driving had significantly elevated odds of self-reported crash outcomes compared to those with good knowledge of mobile phone hazards while driving. Similarly, poor attitude towards phone use while driving and bad practice of phone use while driving were associated with significantly elevated odds of self-reported crash outcomes. The conclusion calls for a need for greater awareness and intervention aimed at improving knowledge, influencing attitude, and changing the practices around mobile phone use among Nigerian drivers.

The purpose of the study was to explore how contents related to sustainable development were presented in Japanese, Korean, and Singaporean elementary mathematics textbooks. For this purpose, the contents in the textbooks were analyzed at both macro and micro levels through a mixed method research. The results showed that the sustainability-related contents were included from the third or fourth grade in all the textbooks. The related contents were involved to mathematics content domains of Numbers and Operations, Pattern, and Data and Possibilities. The sustainability-related contents were used both to introduce and to apply mathematical concepts or principles. Most of the sustainable development activities led students to solve problems by using the mathematical contents they had learned, while some other activities induced students to consider sustainability as well as to solve problems. This study is expected to give implications for textbook developers and teachers to connect sustainable development meaningfully to elementary mathematics education.

We report a research-based proposal on electromagnetic induction within the theoretical framework of the Model of Educational Reconstruction. The proposal is based on a sequence of inquiry-based experimental activities centered on hands-on materials and &quot;Real-Time&quot; quantitative experiments, through which students explore the phenomenology of electromagnetic induction. The sequence was planned to address Faraday-Neumann-Lenz law analyzing the involved physics quantities and constructing quantitative relationships between them. Our hypothesis was based on the idea that phenomenological explorations performed through online sensors promote a functional understanding of electromagnetic induction and help students to face the conceptual knots highlighted by international literature about these phenomena. The educational sequence was proposed to a sample of 87 high school students with the aim of analyzing the evolution of the educational processes employing a set of inquiry-based tutorials. The qualitative analysis of students' answers demonstrates that students increased their knowledges in the analysis of electromagnetic induction phenomena recognizing the fundamental role of time-variation of the magnetic field flux in the Faraday-Neumann-Lenz law.
