This is a case study of the consequences of a “sport and society” course for students. Data from a pretest and posttest of one class in sport and society suggest that students changed in “desired” directions. At the conclusion of the course they tend to adopt the sociological perspective, as indicated by a greater probability of criticism rather than the acceptance of societal arrangements, a greater willingness to change social structures, and a greater tendency to consider society rather than individuals as the cause of social problems. Students also became less sexist, and the posttest indicated that the course challenged conventional wisdom and thus demythologized the social reality of sport. Since this study was of one class, the results are tentative. The paper concludes with suggestions for further study.

<em>This study aims to describe the development of self-regulation of children aged 4-5 years at Kindergarten Dhamawanita Persatuan Pucang Jajar. This study is a qualitative case study in children aged 4-5 years. Data analysis techniques use the model proposed by Miles and Huberman which consists of 3 stages: data reduction, data display, and verification. The research were use multi technique to collect the data use the observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the development of self-regulation developed simultaneously with language skills. Language can really play an important role in determining how children regulate their thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Language facilitates the internalization of children's social structures and rules through their interaction in the social world around them. When children interact with others, their understanding of other people's perspectives and expectations is expanded. This perspective shows that language helps children understand their experiences, as well as the experiences of others, and so it is through language that children connect this information with their own behavior.</em>

AbstractThis article examines two realities of life experienced by humans in living. These two realities are subjective and objective, both of which have a high power of study when combined. As the development of phenomena or social problems increasingly complex, the presence of Social Construction theory becomes a bridge to see the social situation in the two sides of the subjective and objective. As the sociologists struggle arguing for subjective and objective dominance, the Social Construction theory takes its position as peacemaker by giving portions on both sides that are equally important. Therefore, it is appropriate that the Social Construction theory is categorized into the critical theory of a set of tools closer to the social reality for observing the social dynamic and social static.Keywords: Subjective, Objective, Social Construction theory, Social Dynamic, Social Static

This chapter examines the complex relationship between ‘punishment’ and ‘welfare.’ It traces the various ways in which penal systems are influenced by, and interact with, broader systems of social welfare and how these linked institutions function as modes of social control and class control. Following a critical review of the historical and comparative literature—and associated questions of data and method—it discusses how penal and welfare policies relate to the social problems they purport to address and to the political and socio-economic structures within which they operate. ‘Penal-welfarist’ and ‘welfarist’ practices are defined and differentiated, some common elements of practices of punishing and assisting are identified, and the fundamentals of ‘the welfare state’ and its recent neoliberal history are explained.

PurposeThis paper aims to explore how an academic graduate from the cross field between the humanities and the social sciences and blue-collar workers learns to scaffold knowing in a small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME).Design/methodology/approachA case study was conducted in an SME that employed the first academic graduate among the company’s blue-collar workers. The paper applies a practice-oriented theoretical framework to study scaffolding knowing among the workers.FindingsAn academic graduate does not necessarily apply subject-specific knowledge from his or her university education in the SME practice. Rather, general academic knowing and academic work practice is applied when scaffolding knowing in the SME. Further, this depends not only on the knowing of the academic graduate but also on his/her ability to apply knowing and the willingness to change in practice.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is a single case study gaining in-depth insights into one particular case. This calls for more research.Practical implicationsThe study points at the importance for managers and academic graduates in SMEs to foster learning activities and to be aware of and develop ways to integrate the general academic knowing.Originality/valueThe case study provides new insights into the concept of scaffolding knowing in practice theory. Further, it gains unique insights into the practical possibility of employing graduates from higher education in SMEs.

Every election from time to time still always leaves problems. The problem to be discussed and analyzed in this study is how the application of Law Number 7 of 2017 Article 372 concerning Voting (PSU) and analyze the social problems that arise in its implementation. The research method used in this study is the normative-empirical legal research method with the live case study research category with the research category that is the legal events that the process is ongoing. As for the source of research in the form of normative legal provisions namely Law Number 7 of 2017 Article 372 as well as technical rules made with respect to these norms. The analysis shows that the implementation of the regulations made resulted in various social problems. PSU raises new problems for voters, election organizers, and election participants. A phenomenon in the form of decreased participation rates, the potential for anxiety pressure within the community because of excessive attention from officials and candidates to the distortion of preference preferences in the implementation of the PSU. The problems that arise are then expected to be considered so that the implemented PSU becomes the most appropriate solution but can still optimally minimize social problems in the community that may arise.

Abstract: The social fiqh K.H Sahal Mahfudh is a thought that was born from pesantren tradition. Social fiqh in fact is projected to redesign the stagnated fiqh in pesantren with the nuances of madzhabi fiqh which are considered less responsive to social problems, and to counter-discourse a "going too far" Islamic law contextuality. This paper will examine the Islamic legal thought of K.H Sahal Mahfudh social fiqh regarding the applied epistemology and style of thought. Thepurposes of this research are to obtain the clarity on the concept of K.H Sahal Mahfudh’s Islamic legal paradigm including its background of thought and epistemology. Supported by library research, the gathered information was analyzed with the hermeneutic approachThis research found that the KH Sahal Mahfudh’s  Islamic legal thought is built from two interrelated epistemological reasoning. Firstly, Bayani reasoning which favors textuality. Secondly, Burhani reasoning as the rationality of two school of thoughts, namely Syafi'iyyah and Maliki. K.H Sahal Mahfudh tried to reconcile the authenticity of the text with social reality by extensifying fiqh, elaborating the traditions of Islamic science (fiqh and ushul fiqh) using maqashid reasoning.Abstrak: Fiqh sosial pemikiran K.H Sahal Mahfudh merupakan pemikiran yang lahir dari khazanah tradisi pesantren. Fiqh sosial nyatanya memiliki proyeksi menggagas ulang kejumudan fiqh di kalangan pesantren dengan nuansa fiqh madzhabi yang dianggap kurang begitu menjawab permasalahan sosial. Sekaligus counter-discourse proyeksi kontekstualisasi hukum Islam yang “kebablasan.” Tulisan ini bertujuan meneliti pemikiran hukum Islam Fiqh Sosial K.H Sahal Mahfudh berkenaan epis­temologi dan corak pemikiran yang digunakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan: mendapat­kan kejelasan konsep paradigma hukum Islam K.H Sahal Mahfudh; mengetahui gagasan konsepsi fiqh sosial K.H Sahal Mahfudh; mengetahui latar belakang pemikiran dan epistemologi K.H Sahal Mahfudh. Metodologi yang digunakan antara lain: pengumpulan data dengan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (library research); analisis data yang digunakan yaitu analisa data kualitatif dengan analisa data deskriptif interpretatif, yang bertumpu pada titik tolak hermeneutik, Sebuah cara pendekatan yang melihat secara tajam latar belakang obyek penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa corak pemikiran hukum Islam K.H Sahal Mahfudh terbangun dari dua nalar epistemologi yang saling berkaitan yakni nalar Bayani yang berpihak pada tekstualitas dan Burhani dengan sisi rasionalitas dari dua kubu pemikiran antara Imam Syafi’i beserta para pengikutnya (Syafi’iyyah) dan Imam As-Syatibi (yang berhaluan Maliki). K.H Sahal Mahfudh mencoba mendamaikan otentisitas teks dengan realitas sosial dengan cara melakukan ekstensifikasi fiqh, yakni mengelaborasikan tradisi ilmu keislaman (fiqh dan ushul fiqh) menggunakan nalar maqashid.

Abstract Religious pedagogy largely agrees that within religious education, interreligious instruction has to be aligned to the living environment of present-day children and youths. Yet in current concepts, this environmental context is normally interpreted in terms of the social proximity of the students, thus neglecting that the concept of religious contextuality has to be broadened as it develops in the interaction of global and local realities. Based on a case-study from the multi-religious context of Berlin, the present contribution discusses the initial conditions of interreligious education which are being changed by globalization. In a first step, the ambivalent presence of remoteness within the religious environment of modern youths is analyzed from an external sociological perspective. This is done in dialogue with selected sociological theories of reference which help to understand the »new contextuality « of the interreligious sphere as regards its basic dynamics of motivation. Subsequently, the essay focuses on inside aspects of this development: It addresses the question of how the spatial melting of the world influences the perception of the self and the other. Finally an approach is presented that substantiates the increasing globalization of religious environments from a youth-sociological perspective and makes it accessible to empirical analysis.

This article is based on field study among different caste and ethnic groups residing in Pokhara sub-metropolitan city of Nepal. It tries to identify the causes of divorce in those groups. Probably, it is the first sociological study on divorce based on empirical fact in Nepal, so it may contribute a little bit to the direction of the sociological study. The tradition of sociological and anthropological research on social institutions and processes is not dominant in Nepal. Sociologists have found that there are different natures of changes on social institutions, economy, culture and political structure. This is a universal phenomenon around the world. However it could be fruitful to analyze causes and consequences of the social events or changes from the sociological perspective in the different social and cultural context. This study focuses on divorce basically the legal separation of the husband and wife. However customary divorce practices are in different communities of the Nepalese society.DOI: 10.3126/dsaj.v1i0.284Dhaulagiri Vol.1 (2005) pp.129-145
