Author(s):  
R. Alan Bowman

Advisors in a small graduate program needed to be able to help students with a wide variety of needs and preferences in terms of starting term, pace of study, program of study, and mode of course delivery to identify plans of study in a dynamic fashion and enable them to follow those plans. Course sections were limited and needed to serve multiple programs and all types of students in those programs. Last-second schedule changes due to overly large or small registration numbers were problematic. Special arrangements to allow students to graduate on time were frequent and costly and lowered academic quality. Analytical tools were developed to help with the planning and alleviate these issues. The tools and the overall approach should be of interest to educational institutions and programs that need to offer a wide variety of students extensive flexibility and choices within a highly constrained scheduling environment.

Al-Qarawiyyin University's independence in terms of finances had been a significant and influential factor in making it possible for the university to maintain its high quality. Therefore, this paper aims to examine and analyse the financial sources for the development and operation of this university. It reviews and analyses historical data through relevant literature and documents. Waqf played a significant role in providing financial assistance to the university's communities and in strengthening its academic quality. There were four significant types of waqf sources which were the individual fund, the collective waqf fund, the Sultan fund and the alumni fund along with different other types of charities, i.e. sadaqah. This article adds new knowledge by examining the financing experiences of the world's oldest university. It is expected that the instance of Al-Qarawiyyin University may contribute to finding out a solution for the funding crises in contemporary institutions. This review is hoped to constitute a significant contribution to scholarship in general and act as a suggestion for solving the contemporary funding crisis of higher educational institutions.   Keywords: Al-Qarawiyyin University, financing higher education, Morocco, Waqf.   Cite as: Hoque, M.

AbstractThe result of this study aims to determine the patterns of scientific and Islamic integration on the curriculum of study programs applying the Indonesian National Qualification Framework, or commonly called KKNI. This study is conducted by using qualitative approach while utilizing document, field observation, and interview as the data collection techniques of this study. Generally, integrated lesson plans with Islamic and Indonesian values in the curriculum of study programs at the Faculty of Educational Sciences, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University in which based on KKNI is still not well-documented. The suitability among ‘graduate profiles’ as the identity of each graduate program was still not proportional directly to the learning achievements or learning outcomes in which has became the reference of the learning implementation. The vision of integration, developed by the university’s stakeholders, has not been well-implemented, either in written documents or in implementation. Nevertheless, in the implementation of learning, most of the study programs, have already integrated the science, Islamic and Indonesian values, both in scientific contexts—for instance, applied in the learning methods, in teaching materials, in the lecture activities—and in the utilization of the Qur’an as one of the sources of lectures.AbstrakHasil penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola integrasi keilmuan dan keislaman pada kurikulum program studi yang menerapkan Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia, atau yang biasa disebut KKNI. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif sambil memanfaatkan dokumen, observasi lapangan, dan wawancara sebagai teknik pengumpulan data penelitian ini. Secara umum, rencana pembelajaran terpadu dengan nilai-nilai Islam dan Indonesia dalam kurikulum program studi di Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Islam Negeri Syarif Hidayatullah di mana berdasarkan KKNI masih belum terdokumentasi dengan baik. Kesesuaian antara 'profil lulusan' sebagai identitas setiap program pascasarjana masih belum sebanding secara langsung dengan prestasi belajar atau hasil pembelajaran di mana telah menjadi referensi dari pelaksanaan pembelajaran. Visi integrasi, yang dikembangkan oleh para pemangku kepentingan universitas, belum diimplementasikan dengan baik, baik dalam dokumen tertulis atau dalam implementasi. Namun demikian, dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran, sebagian besar program studi, telah mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai sains, Islam dan Indonesia, baik dalam konteks ilmiah - misalnya, diterapkan dalam metode pembelajaran, bahan ajar, dalam kegiatan kuliah - dan dalam pemanfaatan Alquran sebagai salah satu sumber kuliah.  How to Cite : Sofyan, A., Fauzan., Sayuti, W.

AbstractWe relate the success story of an amateur astronomy association based at Constantine, which has spearheaded the efforts of spreading astronomy and scientific culture in Algeria. This association has organised throughout the past decade many activities from large national yearly gatherings to a weekly radio program, through public sighting campaigns. It has been instrumental in the establishment of a pluri-university graduate study program in astrophysics, the so called Ecole Doctorale d'Astrophysique (EDA), the first of its kind in Algeria. We describe in particular how astronomers from various parts of Algeria involved in amateur astronomy have known each other, and banded together to the point of constituting a critical size group able to set up such a national graduate program with plans for the establishment of the first observatory in our country, the Aurès Observatory in Eastern Algeria Aurès mountain range. A strong interest for the project has been shown by the astronomical community, some site testing undertaken, and international collaboration sought. With some dedicated support, its foundation could take place within the year 2009. Could IAY2009 be turned into an annus mirabilis for Algeria and a showcase for the astronomy community worldwide with behind it a textbook case of synergy between amateur astronomy and academic endeavor in the astronomical sciences?
