This study discusses the process of internalizing Islamic characters in students applied in the Kuttab Al-Fatih Jombang non-formal educational institution. The character education that has been proclaimed by the government since 2003 through the National Education System has not shown encouraging results. This was shown by the rampant immorality of the ordinary people to the elite of this nation. With the intervention approach and the micro habituation, Kuttab Al-Fatih Jombang seeks to instill Islamic characters in their students. This research method is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were extracted by means of observation, interviews and documentation, then validated and analyzed by interactive analysis models of Miles and Huberman. The results of the study indicate that Kuttab Al-Fatih Jombang focuses on cultivating Islamic characters to their students. This is shown in the material given, only Qur’an learning and thematic faith. The safeguarding of Islamic characters is not only the same as the provision of material theoretically, but practically carried out by all those involved in micro habiation including school policies and rules, leaders, teachers, staff, students and parents. Therefore, the process of cultivating student character is done with two patterns, namely the pattern of formation and habituation patterns so that Islamic characters are internalized naturally to students. تناقش هذه الدراسة عملية استيعاب الشخصيات الإسلامية في الطلاب المتقدمين في مؤسسة غير رسمية "كتاب الفاتح "جومبانج. إن تعليم الشخصية الذي أعلنته الحكومة منذ عام 2003 من خلال نظام التعليم الوطني لم يظهر نتائج فخور بها. وذلك يظهر من خلال الفجور المتفشي للناس العامة حتى صفوة هذه الأمة. مع نهج التعويد على التعليم الجزئ ، يسعى مؤسسة "كتاب الفاتح "جومبانج إلى غرس الشخصيات الإسلامية فى نفوس طلابها. يستخدم هذا البحث الطريقة البحثية النوعية مع نهج دراسة الحالة. تم استكشاف البيانات من خلال الملاحظة والمقابلات والوثائق ، ثم تم التحقق منها وتحليلها من خلال نموذج التحليل التفاعلي لميلز وهوبرمان ، وقد أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن كتاب الفاتح جومبانج ركز على زراعة الشخصيات الإسلامية للطلاب. يظهر هذا في المواد التعليمية التى تعطى هى تعليم القرآن والإيمان موضوعيىا فقط. وإن الحفظ على الشخصيات الإسلامية لا يقتصر على توفير المواد نظريا فحسب ، بل ينفذ عمليا من قبل جميع المشاركين في التعليم االجزئ ، بما في ذلك السياسات والقوانين الخاصة بالمدارس والقادة والمعلمين والموظفين والطلاب ووالديهم. لذلك تتم عملية زراعة الشخصيات الإسلامية للطلاب بنمطين ، هما نمط التكوين ونمط التعويد حتى يتم استيعاب الشخصيات الإسلامية بشكل طبيعي في فى نفوس الطلاب. Penelitian ini membahas tentang proses internalisasi karakter- karakter islami pada peserta didik yang diterapkan di lembaga pendidikan non-formal Kuttab Al-Fatih Jombang. Pendidikan karakter yang telah dicanangkan pemerintah sejak 2003 melalu Sisdiknas belum menunjukkan hasil yang membanggakan. Hal itu ditunjukan dengan maraknya perbuatan amoral dari masyarakat awam sampai elit bangsa ini. Dengan pendekatan intervensi dan baituasi mikro pendidikan, Kuttab Al-Fatih Jombang berusaha menanamkan karakter-karakter islami kepada peserta didiknya. Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data digali dengan cara observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi, kemudian divalidasi dan dianalisis dengan model analisis interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kuttab Al-Fatih Jombang fokus pada penanaman karakter-karakter islami kepada peserta didiknya. Hal itu ditunjukan pada meteri yang diberikan hanya pada pembelajaran al- Quran dan iman secara tematik. Penamanan karakter-karakter Islami tersebut tidak hanya sekerdar pemberian materi secara teoretis, tetapi secara praktis dilaksanakan oleh semua yang terlibat dalam mikro pendidikan yang meliputi, kebijakan dan aturan sekolah, pimpinan, guru, staf, siswa dan orang tua. Jadi proses penanaman karakter siswa dilakukan dengan dua pola, yaitu pola pembentukan dan pola pembiasaan sehingga karakter-karakter islami terinternalisasikan secara alami pada peserta didik.

The Impact

Purpose – This paper aims to to explore power and legitimacy in the entrepreneurship education classroom by using Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological and educational theories. It highlights the pedagogic authority invested in educators and how this may be influenced by their assumptions about the nature of entrepreneurship. It questions the role of educators as disinterested experts, exploring how power and gendered legitimacy “play out” in staff–student relationships and female students’ responses to this. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple-method, qualitative case study approach is taken, concentrating on a depth of focus in one UK’s higher education institution (HEI) and on the experiences, attitudes and classroom practices of staff and students in that institution. The interviews, with an educator and two students, represent a self-contained story within the more complex story of the case study. Findings – The interviewees’ conceptualization of entrepreneurship is underpinned by acceptance of gendered norms, and both students and staff misrecognize the masculinization of entrepreneurship discourses that they encounter as natural and unquestionable. This increases our understanding of symbolic violence as a theoretical construct that can have real-world consequences. Originality/value – The paper makes a number of theoretical and empirical contributions. It addresses an important gap in the literature, as educators and the impact of their attitudes and perceptions on teaching and learning are rarely subjects of inquiry. It also addresses gaps and silences in understandings of the gendered implications of HE entrepreneurship education more generally and how students respond to the institutional arbitration of wider cultural norms surrounding entrepreneurship. In doing so, it challenges assertions that Bourdieu’s theories are too abstract to have any empirical value, by bridging the gap between symbolic violence as a theory and its manifestation in teaching and learning practices.

Head Of Department

Leadership training for educational leaders in the academia has been considered paramount to empower them both for leadership and management skills, knowledge and experience necessary to bring about quality in teaching and learning. Majority of the academic leaders are appointed without any preparation for the role and tend to struggle on the role in order to be effective. Most studies carried out on academic leaders in Africa focus mainly on challenges, roles and theories of leadership. This study explores the journeys involved in the preparations of academics who become Head of Departments in a selected university in Ghana in order to enable them play their roles effectively. The case study approach was used to study the journeys involved in the preparations of 16 academic HoDs in a selected university in Ghana, focusing on how they accessed their roles, their understanding about the roles, preparations they have had on the roles and the preparations they would have wished for the roles. It sought to describe, understand and interpret the learning journeys of academic HoDs regarding how they became HoDs and preparations they received to be effective in their roles. Interviews and documentary evidence were employed. Semi structured interviews were conducted with sixteen university head of departments. Using thematic analysis, the study revealed among others that most newly appointed academic HoDs were not given formal training before they began to play their roles, Again, the findings revealed different degrees of preparations which were mainly informal and were not directly linked to the roles of the HoDs, which were consistent with the literature that majority of academic HoDs did not receive preparations for their roles and tended to use their experiences to play their roles. Based on these findings, recommendations are that there should be a formal training on the HoD’s duties and their implementations for all newly appointed HoDs to enrich them with the necessary skills and knowledge to make them effective and efficient. There is the need to conduct needs assessment from the HoDs to inform their preparation or training and development of HoDs manual to serve as a reference guide to the HoDs. It is hoped that the findings will contribute to effective preparations of the academic HoDs. The research may also lead to the production of HoD’s manuals. More importantly, it may inform policies to identify areas for effective preparations of the academic HoDs.

This study examines the practice, outcomes and challenges of a “triple-blend” approach which combines the components of classroom instruction, online facilitation and external exposure. Examining this pedagogical approach provides guidance for improving the delivery of teaching and learning. The study takes a multiple case study approach, employing action research methodology. The authors are practicing lecturers and the five cases, drawn from a private institution of higher education in Penang, Malaysia, have an average of 13.8 students, comprise undergraduate and postgraduate classes, and cover business, social science and humanities disciplines. Quantitative and qualitative comparisons are made between student cohorts. Students’ behavior and performance are tracked using an online learning management system. The findings reveal that the deployment of the triple-blend approach on aggregate produces positive outcomes in terms of student engagement and performance. However, there are instances of negative outcomes, suggesting that other factors are at play apart from the choice of pedagogical approach. Discussion of the challenges in deploying this approach shows that the process is far from homogenous. Nonetheless, the overall perspective indicates a positive relationship between the triple-blend approach and positive teaching and learning outcomes. This study provides guidance for teachers on deployment challenges and best practices.
