This study began with an assumption that multicultural education model is practiced in schools in a very limited scope. Therefore, through the subject of PPKN (Civics Education) in schools, multicultural education can be developed. In addition, the school as a laboratory of diversity at the scope of educational institutions is an important medium in the discourse of multicultural education. As a conceptual formulation that was built through the 2013curriculum, the instructional model of Civics education-based on multiculturalism was found to be able to stimulate students’ character building in a more effective, quick and strategic manner. The school, in addition to being an important laboratory of diversity, should also provide multicultural instruction in Civics education with the materials that aid the vision of Civics education instruction with a content of multicultural education in a productive, creative, innovative, and affective way as well as having an effect on the students so as to contribute to the social, civic life and more importantly to the process of building the character and attitude of tolerance among students in schools. Through multicultural education in schools, students learn to accept and understand the cultural differences that affect the differences in usage (how people behave); folkways (habits in the community), mores (code of conduct in the community), and customs (tradition of a community). With multicultural education, learners will be able to accept differences, criticism, and have a sense of empathy, tolerance for others regardless of class, status, gender, ehnic, religion and academic skills.

Implementation of multicultural education in madrasas is a very interesting topic to present in this paper, considering the characteristics of learners which can be said to be more homogeneous than the secular schools. In general, the multicultural education has become necessary to be applied in educational institutions with heterogeneous learners, especially in terms of their beliefs. Multicultural values taught in school will be more easily practiced in the social life among such heterogeneous students. But this is not the case with homogenous madrasas. The development of multicultural values in madrasahs will call for its own concepts and strategies.Using a qualitative research approach with in-depth interviews as the main data collection instrument, this paper tries to formulate multicultural education conducted by the Madrasah Pembangunan, Ciputat, Tangerang, by seeing how the context, concept, and its implementation in educational systems are organized. The findings include, among others, the facts that multicultural education in madrasah is nothing new because multicultural values have been taught in many subjects there. These multicultural values are developed and introduced and required by the students in Madrasah Pembangunan to deal with heterogeneous members of society such as the values of tolerance, empathy, cooperation; and four main properties of Muhammad Rasululllah (Genuine, Trustworthy, Authentic, Intelligent). Other values include confi dence, quality work and competitive.

AbstrakBanyaknya konflik maupun ungkapan-ungkapan rasis yang sering terjadi di Indonesia merupakan bukti bahwa dalam lingkaran sosial bangsa Indonesia masih kokoh semangat narsistik-egosentrisnya dan betapa rapuhnya konstruksi kebangsaan berbasis multikulturalisme di Indonesia. Sehingga tidak heran kalau belakangan ini rasa kebersamaan sudah tidak nampak lagi dan nilai-nilai kebudayaan yang dibangun menjadi terberangus.Maka, untuk mengatasi problematika tersebut diperlukan strategi khusus untuk memecahkan persoalan tersebut melalui berbagai bidang; sosial, ekonomi, budaya, dan pendidikan. Berkaitan dengan hal ini, maka pendidikan multikultural menawarkan satu alternatif melalui penerapan strategi dan konsep pendidikan yang berbasis pada pemanfaatan keragaman yang ada di masyarakat, khususnya yang ada pada siswa.Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kepemimpinan yang tepat dan mampu menanamkan nilai-nilai inti dari pendidikan multikultural dalam lembaga pendidikan. Pada gilirannya, out-put yang dihasilkan dari sekolah tidak hanya cakap sesuai dengan disiplin ilmu yang ditekuninya, tetapi juga mampu menerapkan nilai-nilai keberagamaan dalam memahami dan menghargai keberadaan para pemeluk agama dan kepercayaan lain.Kata kunci:  Multikultural; Kepemimpinan Pendidikan Islam. AbstractThe many conflicts and racist expressions that often occur in Indonesia are evidence that in the social circle of the Indonesian nation there is still a narcissistic-egocentric spirit and how fragile multiculturalism-based national construction in Indonesia is. So it is not surprising that lately a sense of togetherness is no longer visible and cultural values are being blazed.So, to overcome these problems a special strategy is needed to solve these problems through various fields; social, economic, cultural and educational. In this regard, multicultural education offers an alternative through the application of educational strategies and concepts based on the use of diversity in society, especially those of students.Therefore, appropriate leadership is needed and is able to instill the core values of multicultural education in educational institutions. In turn, outputs generated from schools are not only competent in accordance with the discipline they occupy, but are also able to apply religious values in understanding and valuing the existence of followers of other religions and beliefsKeywords:  Multicultural, Islamic Education Leadership.

This research aims to reveal the role of Sunni-Shia Islamic educational institutions in building multiculturalism in a pluralistic society. So far, the Sunni-Shia relationship has been depicted in a conflictual scheme. The research method was qualitative from the sociology of education perspective. Through in-depth interviews, participatory observation and documentation techniques, this study showed that the atmosphere of peace between Sunni-Shia in Banjaran is reflected in the social works of humanity, organizations and Islamic educational institutions. Multicultural education cannot be separated from the role of formal and non-formal Islamic education institutions such as TPQ Al-Husainiah (Shia), TPQ Ma'arif 17 KH. Muhammad Arif (Sunni) and MI Mabadil Huda (Sunni). The kinship also has a contribution to maintaining Sunni-Shia harmony in Banjaran. Theoretically, this research contributes to the development of multicultural Islamic education models in rural. Practically, it is beneficial for Islamic education institutions in building awareness of multiculturalism and tolerance between religious sects.

At the time when a child is given birth to, its process of rooting in the social world begins and through the two specific phenomena, i.e. socialisation and upbringing, such child becomes a representative of a society. However, there are two institutions inseparable from this process, i.e. kindergarten and school. Nonetheless, a family is the fist and natural upbringing environment for children, teaching them appropriate behavior, providing with code of conduct and values. Intergenerational transmission of values is the mechanisms allowing generational continuity, as it focuses on passing on values crucial for the parents, manifested through a specific contact with their children. On the other hand, kindergarten and school as institutions reflect the period when a child becomes a part of a structured social group, where all pupils are subject to the same rules, by which members of such group build up their knowledge on society and culture, constructing their individual and unique image of own self and the world around. Last but not least, it is also the time of preparing them to undertake autonomous and efficient activities. Such institutions conduct their upbringing activities in intentional and organised manner, in accordance with the curricula, taking into consideration socially established, upbringing objectives involving assistance of pedagogical staf and appropriately adjusted equipment. Therefore, cooperation and engagement of these three institutions allows to establish a coherent image of own self and own position in a society.

Abstract Entrepreneurial spirit plays an increasingly important role in the economic sphere, and universities are meant to play a central role in this process, where the main objective is the continuous development and mediation of the knowledge increasingly geared to the applications through innovation and patenting a secure platform for employment and well-being growth. The Universities have to take a position in if/and how they want to grow into a so-called “University of Entrepreneurship” which is characterized by a high degree of openness to the surrounding society and here we are talking, especially, about, the business sector in Romania. This evolution of expectations for the social role of universities has resulted from increased and recent interest in entrepreneurship and innovation of areas as research and theory of the business environment. The experience gained as teachers indicates that education and entrepreneurship education should include different theories and methodology than those applied in the usual way. The theory of traditional management and microeconomic models could even be a barrier to new thinking and change and, therefore, to the implementation of modern entrepreneurial actions. We want this article to be a source of inspiration for educational institutions and to have a positive contribution to research in business education and to be applicable in business decision-making.

The focus of this study concerns a deep analysis on the innovative educational method utilized by Jane Addams (1860-1935) at Hull House. She was a philosopher, but first of all we can consider this woman as a sociologist, because of her careful survey on society, Addams’s activities also implied a new educational project based on the social care of poor workers and their families. She chose for her extraordinary experience one of the most slummy suburbs in Chicago, where with her friend Ellen Gates Starr founded in 1889 this settlement. The main intention of the sociologist was to give immigrants lots of opportunities to understand Chicago’s social and political context. It was important to create a place where immigrant families could socialize, learning more about their rights and possibilities. For this reason Addams suggested that it needed to start from education, taking a particular care of children who lived in that area. It was necessary to promote a reform on the different culture learning to support immigrants in their integration, people who came there hoping to find a job into factories. In 1889 when the settlement was founded, there were about four hundred social houses around the States. Addams’ s important social and political idea was to develop a democratic society, where each person could recognize himself/herself as a part of it, avoiding marginalization and segregation. The sociologist was a central figure at Hull House for about twenty years.

An analysis of the social pedagogical work with difficult children is presented, outlining characteristics, specifics and approaches for prevention and social accompaniment. In order to highlight the specifics of this group of children, a comparison is made with two other groups of children in a situation of life difficulty - "socially disadvantaged children" and "children at risk". The analysis refers to the understanding that difficult children are children with impaired emotional development, difficulty in communicating with others and disrupted behavioral control, all of which can lead to consequences both on a personal and behavioral level. It is emphasized that difficult children turn into such in situations where adults cannot find an adequate approach to them, and most often these adults are members of the family, parents, or teachers. An overview of scientific positions on difficult children by English, American, Russian and Bulgarian researchers is offered. This is the basis for outlining the main spheres which affect children negatively and categorize them as "difficult children" - emotional-personal; learning-cognitive; behavioral; somatic. The reasons for children’s difficult behavior are examined, including: the family and the flaws in it; the lack of spiritual connection between parents and children; the asocial environment; participation in criminal groups; errors in the work of educational institutions; economic difficulties that have influenced all spheres of public life. The characteristics of problem children are presented that account for the formulation of the principles of social pedagogical work with them. It is emphasized that one of the important approaches in the work is the development of skills for social inclusion, social expression and self-assertion. The model for social pedagogical work with difficult children is developed in two aspects: preventive work and social accompaniment. Preventive work consists in constantly informing all stakeholders - teachers, educators, non-pedagogical staff in educational institutions and the family on the opportunities for preventing "difficult children" on the one hand, and ensuring interaction between the participants in the preventive activities as well as striving to attract more organizations and institutions, on the other. The social accompaniment as a social pedagogical work includes: identification of children with difficult behavior at the earliest stage of the disadaptation process, diagnosis of the factors of the difficult behavior and the reasons for the disadvantage, preparation of an individual road map for working with the child, implementation of the individual program for accompanying the child, measuring and analyzing the results of the child's work and his / her close circle.

в статье обосновывается объективная необходимость изменения системы управления военным образованием в рамках проведения военной реформы второй половины XIX века. Проводимые мероприятия опирались на достижения русской педагогической мысли и военной педагогики. Комплекс управленческих решений был теоретически обоснованным, проводился последовательно и поступательно, до достижения необходимого положительного результата. Решить масштабные и сложные задачи оптимизации процесса военного образования было бы невозможно без усиления внимания к социально-гуманитарным дисциплинам, преподаваемых в военно-учебных заведениях. Накопленный исторический опыт реализации принятых управленческих решений актуален и востребован в настоящее время. the article substantiates the objective need to change the management system of military education in the framework of military reform in the second half of the XIX century. The events were based on the achievements of Russian pedagogical thought and military pedagogy. It is emphasized that the complex of management decisions was theoretically justified, carried out consistently and progressively, until the necessary positive result was achieved. It would be impossible to solve these large–scale and complex tasks of optimizing the process of military education without increasing attention to the social and humanitarian disciplines taught in military educational institutions. The accumulated historical experience of implementing management decisions is relevant and may be in demand at the present time.

Abstract The virtually immediate information propagation has reduced the gap of knowledge once existing between MNEs and customers (i.e. Rana Plaza collapse, 2013). Consumers begin playing an important role in supporting workers. Their growing social awareness has clear economic consequences. MNEs have tried to react to the loss of social reputation, mainly adopting (and imposing to their suppliers) codes of conduct and ethics providing a minimum standard for decent work standards. This article aims to analyze the social reputation and social sustainability that have recently attracted stakeholders’ interest, from different points of view (MNEs, consumers, government and non-government organizations, unions). Those “new” forms of social initiatives (code of conduct, social ranking, consumers campaign, boycotting) are informative and could help to spread ILO labour standards. Clearly, they can represent only an additional support for workers who are struggling in the typical conflict between Work and Capital. The tendency to use a single parameter for assessing the social sensitivity of the MNEs, valid both for the countries “in development” and for those “already developed” risks to lead to a “race to the bottom” trend.
