The Relationship

The interpretation of the Qur’an as a source of Islamic teachings specifies the character of Islamic thought. The contextual interpretation that acknowledges various socio-cultural realities will generate moderate Islamic thought. This article aims to analyze the relationship between Tafsir al-Azhar by Hamka and Indonesian local wisdom. Tafsir al-Azhar has adopted Indonesian local wisdom as a source of interpretation. The data are derived from the book, Tafsir al-Azhar by Hamka. It describes the forms of local wisdom employed by Hamka as a source of interpretation and maps the implications for moderate Islamic thought in Indonesia. The result of the study shows that the local wisdoms of the archipelago used as a source of interpretation in Tafsir al-Azhar are local community beliefs, community wisdom in dealing with opponents, and community practices on children's education. These local wisdoms are the manifestation of the interpreter’s positive attitude, respecting the noble values of the local community. Respect on the values of local community wisdom is an important finding regarding the contextuality of Qur’an interpretation. The values resulted from the Qur’an interpretation are not coercive but are transferred to society through dialogue, so they reach harmony and peace. Future researches can examine the readers’ response or reception towards Tafsir al-Azhar so that its function to build moderate society can be comprehensively traced. Tafsir al-Qur’an sebagai sumber ajaran Islam menentukan karakter pemikiran Islam. Tafsir al-Qur`an yang kontekstual yang memahami realitas sosial budaya yang beragam akan melahirkan pemikiran Islam yang moderat. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan tafsir al-Azhar karya Hamka dengan kearifan lokal Indonesia. Tafsir al-Azhar telah menggunakan kearifan lokal masyarakat nusantara sebagai sumber penafsiran. Data penelitian bersumber dari tafsir al-Azhar karya Hamka. Tujuan penelitian untuk memaparkan bentuk bentuk kearifan lokal yang digunakan Hamka sebagai sumber penafsiran dan mempetakan implikasinya kepada pemikiran Islam moderat di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa kearifan lokal nusantara yang digunakan sumber penafsiran dalam tafsir al-Azhar meliputi keyakinan masyarakat lokal, kearifan masyarakat menghadapi lawan dan tradisi pendidikan anak. Bentuk-bentuk kearifan lokal tersebut merupakan wujud dari sikap mufassir yang menghargai nilai-nilai luhur masyarakat lokal. Sikap menghargai nilai kearifan masyarakat lokal menjadi temuan penting mengenai kontekstualitas tafsir al-Qur`an. Nilai-nilai yang dihasilkan tafsir al-Qur`an tidak bersifat memaksa tetapi ditransformasikan di masyarakat dengan dialog sehingga tetap terjaga harmoni dan kedamaian. Penelitian ini menyarankan perlunya penelitian resepsi pembaca terhadap tafsir al-Azhar sehingga diketahui secara lebih komprehensi pengaruh moderasi tafsir al-Azhar di masyarakat.

The purpose of this paper is to report some of the findings of a study which investigated the influence of mathematics Braille proficiency on mathematics performance among learners with visual impairment in selected special secondary schools in Kenya. In this study, descriptive design was used with a sample size of 55 respondents comprising of head teachers, mathematics teachers and learners with visual impairment in two special secondary schools. The study respondents were purposively sampled. Findings on the level of mathematics braille proficiency possessed by learners with visual impairment; and the relationship between mathematics Braille skills and mathematics performance are reported. These findings demonstrate a very low level of mathematics Braille skills; and there was a significant positive relationship between mathematics braille proficiency and mathematics performance, particularly among touch readers. These findings confirmed that lack of mathematics braille proficiency contributed to poor mathematics performance. On the basis of these findings, some recommendations are provided. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0781/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The Relationship

The importance of ethical behavior in consumers has never been so evident, and in recent years, researchers have generated a great deal of knowledge about ethical consumption. The search for happiness in consumption has been a recurrent line of research by academics of the management and, mainly, the marketing fields. Our study analyses the relationship between ethical and sustainable behavior in consumption and the achievement of consumer happiness. Employing structural equations, the findings of the study suggest that there is a positive relationship between consumers’ predisposition toward sustainable behavior and happiness. In addition, the findings indicate that, when there are reasons to justify unethical behavior in consumption, the consumer also manages to be happier. Important implications for theory and practice are derived from the results. Emphasizing the benefits of sustainable consumption for enhancing happiness might instigate sustainable consumption, especially in the case of those consumers who do not have a positive attitude toward sustainable consumption.

This study sought to establish the relationship between boards of governors' (BOGs) roles and management of government aided secondary schools in Kyenjojo District. The objectives were to establish the relationship between BOGs' planning role and management of government aided secondary schools, to establish the relationship between BOGs' supervisory role and management of government aided secondary schools, to establish the relationship between BOGs' control role and management of government aided secondary schools; and to determine the major predictor of management of government aided secondary schools out of the three aspects of BOGs' roles. A correlational research design was used. A total of 90 respondents drawn from 108 BOGs and nine head teachers were selected as sample for the study using stratified random sampling and census inquiry respectively. The instruments used were questionnaire and interview guide. Quantitative data was analysed using Pearson product-moment correlation and regression, while thematic analysis was used on qualitative data. The study found a statistically moderate positive and significant relationship between BOGs' planning role and management of government aided secondary schools (r=.626, p=.000); a statistically moderate positive and significant relationship between BOGs' supervisory role and management of government aided secondary schools(r=.591, p=.000); and a statistically weak positive and significant relationship between BOGs' control role and management of government aided secondary schools(r=.280, p=.015). All the three aspects of BOGs roles account for 38.4% of the influence on management of government aided secondary schools in Kyenjojo district (adjusted r2=0.384, p=.000). The researchers recommend that BOGs should be well trained in management of schools in order to be effective in their work. Head teachers should not be dictators but create a conducive climate for planning, supervision and control by the BOGs.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Spatial thinking, comprised of concepts, representations and spatial abilities, is a cognitive activity developed in everyday living, and can be systematized through different school disciplines, mainly Geography. The comprehension of this concept and the investigation of how it can be developed and systematized in schools are critical points, involving different languages that represent the space. Our main objective is to propose theoretical and methodological references for the spatial knowledge of children aged between 4 and 6 years old. The research is based on the following question: Which spatial abilities and concepts can be addressed in activities aimed at developing spatial thinking in children aged 4 to 6 years old? To answer this question and achieve the main objective, the specific objectives were: a) to investigate and analyze the pertinence, possibilities and approaches regarding the spatial notions in children’s education; b) develop teaching situations based on guiding theories about spatial thinking, children’s drawing and the concept construction under a historical and cultural perspective; c) understand the patterns in children’s graphic representations; and d) analyze the children’s dialogues. The analysis of the research data allowed us to conclude that drawing is part of the cartographic initiation, and words are fundamental elements that concretize the way of thinking, in this case, spatial thinking ability. In this research, we reaffirm the direct relationship between Geography and the development of spatial thinking, considering the very nature of this Science, and Cartography as the language used to materialize this way of thinking.</p>
