<p class="06IsiAbstrak"> </p><p class="06IsiAbstrak">The focus of this paper is the madrasa in Indonesia and its development which is examined from the perspective of Michel Foucault regarding their authority, knowledge and discourse.<strong> </strong>The madrasa’s performance, which is still relatively low and unable to compete with public schools or pesantrens (Islamic Boarding Schools), will be examined from this perspective. This paper departs from the study of literature with a historical-sociological approach. The sources of the data come from the literature related to the history and development of madrasas. From Foucoult's perspective, the performance of the madrasa--which in its development shows a decline trend and is of relatively low quality and less competitive compared with general schools or pesantrens-- is closely related to power, knowledge and discourse factors. My argument is supported by the evidence that there is no an established “blueprint” for the supervision and development of madrasas in Indonesia, in contrast to schools or pesantrens. Likewise, the problem of interplay of madrasa policies in the integration of the national education system has put the madrasa in the midst of domination of schools and pesantrens, especially in the midst of society since the appreciation and level of community participation in the madrasa are not very encouraging. In addition, there is an opinion among the public which perceives the madrasa as the second educational institution after schools or pesantrens. This opinion is, of course, supported by empirical data, such as research from Nur Hamzah (2017) and Sukino (2017) which examined the madrasas in West Kalimantan Province, and revealed the poor quality of some madrasas in this area, which in my opinion is the "top of the iceberg" of the madrasa, especially in the outermost, interior and underdeveloped areas of Indonesia.</p>

<p>The Act No. 20, 2003 of National Education System explains that Madrasah Aliyah as an Islamic educational institution has been equated with other public schools. This equivalence does not change automatically the public of Gorontalo perception toward Madrasah Aliyah as a second choice. Such perception affects the community interest to send their children to Madrasah Aliyah. However, Madrasah Aliyah in Gorontalo still has great prospect in<br />the future. So some very urgent improvement and imaging is performed by Madrasah Aliyah. This improvement is very important because most people see Madrasah Aliyah as second-class school and its graduates do not have brilliant future. In fact, Madrasah Aliyah can create human resources who<br />have intact insight, are divinity insight, social insight and scientific insight. <br /><br /><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p><strong></strong><br />Madrasah Aliyah sebagai sebuah lembaga pendidikan Islam telah disetarakan kedudukannya dengan sekolah umum lainnya berdasarkan UU No. 20 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional RI Tahun 2003.Meski posisinya setara, tidak serta merta merubah persepsi masyarakat Gorontalo terhadap Madrasah Aliyah sebagai pilihan kedua. Persepsi seperti ini mempengaruhi minat<br />masyarakat untuk menyekolahkan anak-anaknya ke Madrasah Aliyah. Meski demikian, Madrasah Aliyah di Gorontalo masih memiliki prospek yang besar di masa depan. Maka beberapa terobosan yang sangat urgen dilaksanakan adalah pembenahan dan pencitraan terhadap Madrasah Aliyah. Ini penting karena<br />sebagian besar masyarakat memandang Madrasah Aliyah sebagai sekolah kelas dua serta lulusan Madrasah Aliyah yang tidak memiliki jaminan masa depan yang cemerlang. Padahal, Madrasah Aliyah dapat menciptakan sumber daya manusia yang memiliki wawasan yang utuh yaitu wawasan ketuhanan, wawasan kemasyarakatan dan wawasan keilmuan.<br /><br /></p>

Today, working in paid employment is the norm for women in France, and many of them are working in associations, which the authors regard as a specific type of civil society organisations. In this chapter, the authors enquire whether working in associations can lead to women’s emancipation. Firstly, they show that associations play an important economic role for women and create a particularly distinctive relationship to work, but they also emphasise the poor quality of the jobs in which women are disproportionately represented. The authors then discuss the effects of women’s employment in associations in terms of emancipation: they suggest that associations tend to maintain gendered norms rather than challenging them even when the organisations are feminist oriented. The risk is then that women may not achieve real recognition for their contribution unless the associations engage in a clear policy in favour of equality between men and women.

Abstract: Along with the change of educational management paradigm from centralized to decentralized system, every school is given a wide range of opportunities to establish and develop its own potential resources to improve the quality of education. As part of the national education system, Madrasah is inevitably demanded to transform itself into a better quality in response to the aforementioned change in order to be able to compete with public schools. Hence, the managers of Madrasah or Islamic schools must be aware that the power-based approach that they have employed is not relevant anymore to cope with the needs of the rapid change in our educational system. For this reason, it is essential to accommodate a myriad of constructive ideas from various parties for the improvement of Madrasah. In accord to this, Madrasah-based or Islamic-based school management is obviously required with regard to the professionalism and contextual-rational paradigm by applying the bottom-up model in deciding the policies. Besides, human resources management should also be adjusted professionally basing on the academic competency standards with the restriction of personal interest. Furthermore, it requires the development of sustainable curriculum so as to adjust the improvement of science and technology.

El sector educativo mexicano ha recibido grandes aportaciones delerario público y ha merecido destacadas menciones en los planes nacionales dedesarrollo elaborados por las administraciones federales en turno. Sus resultados,sin embargo, siguen siendo cuestionados no sólo porque no se ha podido garantizarel derecho de todos los mexicanos a la educación, sino también porque la calidadde los servicios que ofrece ha sido deficiente. Se parte del análisis de lasgrandes inequidades educativas que prevalecen en el país y éstas se contrastan conel alto valor que la población sigue atribuyendo a la educación. Además de presentarla complejidad de la evaluación de la calidad educativa y de reconocer que sonmúltiples los factores asociados a la exclusión, llama la atención que la percepcióngeneral de la población sobre la educación sea tan positiva, aunque se reconozcanalgunas fallas en el funcionamiento del Sistema Educativo Nacional. Ante laproximidad de un cambio de gobierno federal, el texto propone algunas consideracionespara el diseño de nuevas políticas educativas.The Mexican educational sector has received large contributionsfrom the public purse and has earned prominent mentions in national developmentplans drawn up by federal authorities. Its results are nonetheless being contestednot only because it has not been able to guarantee the right of all Mexicans to education,but also because the quality of the services offered is questionable. Thispaper contrasts major educational inequities prevailing in the country with thehigh value that the population still attributes to education. While recognizing thatthere are multiple factors associated to educational exclusion and the quality ofeducation, it is striking that the general perception of the population regardingeducation is positive, even though some faults are acknowledged in the operationof the National Education System. Due to the proximity of a change in the Government,the paper elaborates some considerations for the design of new educationalpolicies.

The National Education System, as a reference for implementing education in Indonesia, has a role as a minimum standardization of educational institutions that are currently developing in Indonesia. National Education System is a basic reference for the education system that has developed in various societies, related to curriculum, educational models, institutional standards, output standards and teacher standards. National Education System is important because without national standards, education in Indonesia will experience extraordinary inequality between urban areas and rural areas or disadvantaged areas. National Education System must be understood as a generally accepted minimum standard. Related to that, the government through the National Accreditation Board tries to control the quality of outputs and performance of educational institutions in various regions by using minimum standards that can be applied in the regions. Every educational institution needs a useful assessment to evaluate the performance of an educational institution. In general, the assessment aims to find out the deficiencies that exist in order to be repaired or developed in the future. This article seeks to discuss the role of the National Accreditation Board in improving the quality of education in Indonesia.

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) was one of the initiatives of the Malaysia Ministry of Education to ensure the standard of our national education system was at par with the global education trends. This initiative was documented in Malaysian Education Blueprint 2015 -2025 (Higher Education, Shift No.9: Globalised Online Learning). Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) was among the public universities in Malaysia that were seriously involved in MOOC development. Starting with one MOOC in 2014, four MOOCs in 2015, 16 MOOCs in 2016, UiTM embarked into developing 450 new MOOCs in 2017. To ensure UiTM MOOC had achieved the required standard and quality of Malaysian MOOC, an internal guideline for UiTM MOOC Development (i-Learn Centre, 2016) was constructed. The construction of the guideline was based on the standard provided by the Guidelines of Development and Delivery of Malaysian MOOC (KPT, 2017). Some additional elements required by the administrator of UiTM MOOC were also added. The study was interested to determine whether the MOOCs developed by UiTM lecturers complied with the standard of UiTM MOOC and ultimately the Malaysian MOOC. It was also interested to determine the readiness of UiTM MOOC for credit transfer. To do that, a UiTM MOOC Evaluation Checklist was introduced. The checklist consisted of 45 questions which were constructed based on the guideline on UiTM MOOC Development (i-Learn Centre, 2016) and the Guidelines for Credit Transfer for MOOC (MQA, 2016). The study evaluated two active UiTM MOOCs in terms of adherence to the standard of UiTM MOOC. The findings of the study highlighted areas to be improved and provided suggestions to increase readiness for MOOC credit transfer.

AbstractThe National Education System has grown so rapidly over time. A variety of efforts have been made to build every prosperous, dignified Indonesian human being, so that the quality of Indonesian thinking is progressing. The ASEAN Economic Community which has been launched since 2015 has resulted in free competition, both in trade, employment, and there is free competition for educators in ASEAN countries. Besides that, Indonesian education is faced with challenges and developments in the times, where the culture between ASEAN countries has no limits, this is the challenge faced when implementing the Asean Economic Comunity (ASEAN Economic Community) MEA. Indonesia as a country in the ASEAN region must prepare domestic educators to have professionalism and character so that they can compete with the AEC. Educators must be aware of the essence of the existence of their profession, continue to struggle to make changes in order to realize professionalism with noble character. Efforts made in preparing professional educators to face the challenges of the AEC must touch the most fundamental aspects of changing their competencies, namely the mindset. A student must be more advanced and innovative in developing his learning so that he can change the mindset of students to do agent of change. Through this mindset educators will become professional and characterized so that they can compete and compete in the MEA era. Keywords: MEA, Changes in Mindset, Professional Educators
