<p>Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran peran pendidikan Islam terhadap perubahan social yang terjadi dalam struktur dan fungsi masyarakat. Pendekatan dalam peneltian ini adalah penelitian  kepustakaan.   Pendidikan merupakan sistem  dan cara meningkatkan  kualitas hidup manusia dalam segala aspek kehidupan manusia. Bagaimana agar pendidikan itu tidak hanya hanyut oleh dinamika perubahan, tetapi ia mampu memerankan dirinya sebagai agen perubahan itu sendiri. Islam sebagai agama rahmat bagi seluruh alam, tentu sangat memperhatikan keadaan masyarakat. Hal ini terlihat dari bukti sejarah, bagaimana Nabi Muhammad SAW membangun  masyarakat Arab. Kemudian terus berkembang hingga Islam tersebar ke seluruh penjuru dunia. Hasil dari kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa Islam membangun masyarakat melalui pendidikan, karena proses pendidikan merupakan salah satu cara yang efektif dalam membangun umat. Dalam pendidikan Islam selalu memperhatikan dua sudut pandang dalam segala aspek, seperti aspek lahiriyah dan bathiniyah, aspek individual dan sosial, duniawi dan ukhrowi, yaitu terbentuknya  insan kamil.</p><p>Kata kunci: peran, pendidikan Islam, perubahan sosial.</p><p><em>THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION TOWARDS SOCIAL CHANGE. This study aims to find out the role of Islamic education towards social change that occurred in the structure and function of the community. This study uses library research. Education  is a system and way to improve the quality of human life in all aspects of human life. Education  as an aspect of life that cannot be separated from the community. How to make the education that not only strewn by the dynamics  change, but it was able to portray as an agent of change itself. Islam as a religion of mercy for all of nature certainly pays more attention to the circumstances of the community. This  is apparent from the evidence of history, how the Prophet Muhammad  built the Arabic community. Then continue to evolve until Islam spreads into all over the world. The result oh this articel show that Islam built the community  through education, because the process of education is one of the effective ways in building people. In Islamic education always pays attention to two viewpoints in all aspects, such as lahiriyah and bathiniyah aspects, individual  and social aspects, worldly and hereafter, i.e. the formation of ‘insan kamil’ or perfect human.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: role, Islamic education, social change.</em></p>

Purpose The health information management (HIM) profession lacks clarity around leadership and leadership development. To date, little empirical research exists on this topic, and it is unclear if broader approaches for healthcare leadership are suitable. This paper aims to explore which the leadership styles are relevant to the HIM profession. The findings were also used to inform a discussion on how HIM professionals could develop these leadership styles. Design/methodology/approach Through a systematic scoping literature review, deductive thematic analysis was undertaken to extrapolate common themes around this style of leadership based on transversal competency domains that reflect twenty-first century skills (i.e. critical thinking and innovation, interpersonal, intrapersonal and global citizenship) (Bernard, Watch and Ryan, 2016; UNESCO, 2015). This approach enabled the findings to be discussed from a leadership development perspective. Findings Analysis of the literature revealed that a relational leadership style through a team-based approach is required. Literature studies on how to develop leadership competencies were not found. Research limitations/implications Future policy and research implications include the need for research on transversal competencies to determine if they can shape HIM leadership development. Practical implications This leadership style and competencies proposed are relevant across many occupations and may have broader applications for leadership research, education and development. Originality/value This paper defines the style of leadership required in the HIM profession and identifies a succinct set of contemporary competencies to inform the development of this type of leadership.

AbstractThe founding and development of two commissions of the IAU that played a unique role in IAU history are traced. Commission 38 for the Exchange of astronomers was founded in 1946 with Frederick Stratton as first president, and it expended funds (initially granted by UNESCO) for astronomers to travel on exchange visits. Commission 46 for the Teaching of astronomy was founded in 1964 with Evry Schatzmann as first president. This was a time of rapidly growing interest in the IAU for teaching astronomy and in due course for promoting astronomy in developing countries. For a while, both commissions operated under the wing of the Executive Committee. Their role was unique as they were the only IAU commissions to have their own budget, as well as aspiring to bring about social change in the astronomical community. By 2000 both commissions merged into C46 (Astronomy education and development) and by that time various programmes such as the International School for Young Astronomers (ISYA), the working group World-wide Development of Astronomy (WWDA) and the working group Teaching Astronomy for Development (TAD), which grew out of the Visiting Lecturers’ Program (VLP), were all run by C46. When the IAU established the Office of Astronomy for Development in 2011, many of these functions were removed from the commission and in any case C46 ceased to exist in 2015 when all the old commissions were disestablished. In 2015 the Office for Young Astronomers took over the running of the ISYA. The history of C38 and C46 represents a time of active change in the way the IAU was engaging with people. It was more than just a union for scientific research, but in the world of scientific unions, it was remarkable for taking an active hands-on role in implementing social change. In the history of these two commissions, the Swiss astronomer Edith Müller played a leading dynamic role. She served as president of C46 (1967-73), of C38 (1985-88) as well as IAU General Secretary (1976-79).
