Abstract This article aims to discuss the development of Islamic religious education materials available for parents at home. The significance of home-based materials was motivated by the paralysis of the school's function in serving the learning process, including children's religious education, when the COVID-19 outbreak hit the world. This article comes from research and development involving education stakeholders, especially teachers, supervisors, and parents. The activities in focus group discussions were carried out in three places, namely in Bandung, Serpong, and Surabaya. Awareness of the importance of minimal material for parents at home to teach and educate their children about Islam is one of the reasons why this research was conducted. The main question is, what is the minimum content of Islamic religious education that parents should teach at home. After going through a series of discussions at three workshop locations, it was concluded that the material for Islamic religious education at home should be more straightforward and complementary to the subject matter of Islamic religion at school. The materials include the creed of monotheism, aqidah (theology), which discusses Allah SWT; worship (ritual) includes prayer, fasting; muamalat, which includes the introduction of buying and selling and transactions in Islam; and morality.   Abstrak Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendiskusikan pengembangan materi minimal pendidikan agama Islam yang dapat digunakan oleh orang tua dan pendidik di rumah. Ini dilatarbelakangi oleh lumpuhnya fungsi sekolah dalam melayani proses pembelajaran termasuk pembelajaran pendidikan agama anak saat wabah covid-19 melanda dunia. Artikel ini berasal dari riset dan pengembangan yang melibatkan stake-holders pendidikan khususnya guru pendidikan agama Islam, pengawas pendidikan agama Islam, dan orang tua. Kegiatan pengembangan berbentuk fokus grup diskusi dilakukan pada tiga tempat yakni di kota Bandung, kota Serpong dan kota Surabaya. Kesadaran tentang pentingnya materi minimal bagi para orang tua di rumah untuk mengajar dan mendidik anaknya tentang agama Islam menjadi salah satu alasan mengapa riset ini dilakukan. Pertanyaan utamanya adalah, apa konten minimal pendidikan agama Islam yang harus diajarkan oleh orang tua di rumah. Setelah melewati serangkaian diskusi pada tiga lokasi workhop, disimpulkan bahwa materi pendidikan agama Islam di rumah mesti lebih sederhana, dan bersifat komplementer dengan materi pelajaran agama Islam di sekolah. Materi tersebut meliputi: akidah tauhid, aqidah  (teologi) yang membahas tentang Allah SWT; peribadatan (ritual) mencakup Shalat, puasa, doa-doa; muamalat yang meliputi pengenalan jual beli dan transaksi dalam Islam; dan akhlaq.

Methods Of Learning

In Islamic religious education, the Qur'an is a source that is used as the foundation of the Islamic religion. Therefore, the Qur'an has an urgent position in guiding and directing people in their daily lives. However, there is a large gap between the importance of reading the Qur'an with the ability to read the Qur'an in Muslim communities in Indonesia. . The Chancellor of the al-Qur'an Institute of Higher Education (PTIQ) Jakarta, Nazaruddin Umar assessed that people who are illiterate al-Qur'an are still high in Indonesia. therefore it is necessary to apply effective and innovative methods of learning the the al-Qur'an. The supporting factors for the application of the waqa method include: the material taught is not much different from the material that has usually been studied, the TPQ Al-Ikhlash assistants help researchers during the process of applying the "Wafa" method at TPQ Al-Ikhlash, the students are orderly and cooperative during the experimental activities. This is certainly very helpful in carrying out the activities of teaching the Koran with the "Wafa" method. While the inhibiting factors for the application of the "Wafa" method include: Santri in one class are 42 children. This is certainly too much because learning the Qur'an is ideally done in small classes. Learning time becomes insufficient because of the sufficient quantity of students.

Reading Textbooks

This article explores the insights of inclusivism and tolerance in Islamic religious education (PAI) textbooks in Brawijaya University (UB) Malang. This article is the result of research by reading textbooks, interviewing six PAI lecturers and focus group discussions (FGD) at UB Malang in December 2018. In general, there are many material aspects in the textbooks that encourage students to be open, respect for diversity and behave tolerant of different Islamic schools of thought. This is emphasized by the PAI lecturers since UB is a public university belong to the public and because in Islam itself there are many different understandings and schools of thought. The spirit of inclusivism, cosmopolitan and tolerance is seen explicitly in PAI UB’s textbooks and becomes the vision of PAI lecturers. If there is a deviation from the book tends to be a closed ideology, intolerant, and against the Republic of Indonesia, then it can be ascertained because of the “lecturer initiative” personally, and do not represent Lembaga Pusat Pembinaan Agama (the Central Institution of Religious Development).

Student Transitions

Transitions can affect students throughout their time at university. This study aims to show the potential of an additional, non-assessed placement in supporting MA3 Initial Teacher Education (ITE) students with skills thought to benefit transitions. Much of the research around student transitions focuses upon transitions into and out of higher education. In addition, within the MA ITE programme, students perceive challenges in transitioning into Professional Practice during their four year programme. A pilot study was undertaken to support third year MA ITE students in developing skills and attributes associated with the enhancement theme of student transitions in higher education: self-efficacy; reflection; and connectedness. The study involved MA3 students visiting an Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) setting in one local authority, one afternoon a week for eight weeks, the aim of the placement being for them to gain experience in playing and communicating with younger children, prior to their official early years placement. Initial findings from student focus group discussions suggest that students perceived that the study did help to support them in further developing transition skills and attributes.

The condition of families with autistic children raises many views and judgments both from family and society. This ethnographic study aimed to describe the meaning of families and communities towards families with autistic children. Data were collected through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. Key informants come from families who have autistic children and community members recruited by purposive sampling, while the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. This study results generate  two categories of perception of the meaning of having autistic children.  The first category was made by the families which comprises four themes such as 1) A test from God, 2) Destiny of God, 3) Autistic children different with other children, and 4) Children who need intensive helping. The second category was the perception made by the community members which consists of two themes, such as 1) Test for family, and 2) An autistic child as a holy child. This study further shows that  culture is believed to determine how families and the members of the community perceive and interpret the existence of autistic children in the families so that it is very important for health workers to understand the culture that exists in the community.

Method Approach

Adult learners have unique educational needs that require attention from Higher Education Institutions, facilitators and industry. While several theories and policies have been developed to address the bourgeoning educational challenges confronting adult learners in Higher Education Institutions, not much has been achieved in the wake of growing knowledge and skills demands of employers. Using a mixed method approach, a survey (n = 200) and focus group discussions (n = 27) were conducted among adult learners who were also professionals studying engineering programmes in three diverse universities in Ghana. Additionally, interviews were conducted with representatives from industry and from the three engineering departments in the three universities. The study revealed that while the development of separate programmes for adult learners in Higher Education Institutions is not plausible in meeting the educational needs of adult learners, a different pedagogy could be used in addressing the unique knowledge and skills needs of adult learners. We present the implications of our study in relation to theory, practice and further research.

Programme Content

Critical thinking is recognised as an influential attribute to achieve quality learning and teaching in higher education institutions world over. This interpretive research study explored the critical thinking among PGDE students at the University of Botswana. The aim of the study was to identify factors contributing to the application of critical thinking among teacher trainees. Data was collected from Cohort 2015/16 PGDE students, through one on one interview with 59 students and 2 focus group discussions comprising five students in each focus group between April to June 2016. The findings revealed that the teacher trainees had a lower description of critical thinking during interviews, but refined during focus group discussions; however, the students were wide aware of factors influencing their inabilities to think critically during their training. These finding clearly indicated that most students were not applying critical thinking during their training. Through the interviews and focus group discussion, the study also identified strategies to promote the application of critical thinking in areas of programme content, teaching and assessment methods and techniques, programme logistics and personal attributes. The findings are instrumental to various key stakeholders. Specifically, the findings inform education institutions, teacher educators and students on how to promote critical thinking during teacher training. The study was qualitative, as such the findings will not be generalised. As such a similar study is recommended among the PGDE and other students but using quantitative and or mixed methods to allow inferences and generalisations.
