One of the major determinants of quality education in the Bachelor of Education program is the Teaching Practice component. Globally teaching practice is a mandatory undertaking, at both universities and tertiary teacher training colleges. Various universities adopt different modes of teaching practice especially with regards to its supervision. The exercise of teaching practice supervision is often faced by a number of challenges, for example, inadequate staffing which means that teacher trainees may not be adequately supervised. As such, this study aimed at establishing the implications of academic staff participation in teaching practice on the quality of B.Ed program. Hence, this study sought to answer the research question: how does academic staff participation in teaching practice influence the quality of Bachelor of Education program in public universities in Kenya? The study employed a descriptive survey research design. The scope of the study was the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University. The target population of the study comprised 12,342 respondents, where 30 percent of them (433) were sampled. Moi University was used for piloting, after which instruments were modified to ensure highest validity and reliability. The research instruments used in the study comprised questionnaires, interview guide and document analysis schedule. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS. The study findings were presented by the use of frequency tables. The study established that, other than the normal teaching load, academic staff were also tasked with the duty of supervising students while in teaching practice. The study established that on average each lecturer was to supervise at least 20-25 supervision over a two weeks period. In fact, some supervisors devised their own mechanisms of handling a large number of students in teaching practice, for instance, some of them would assemble students in a common hall, mostly away from their stations of practice. Such mechanisms can only be inappropriate as far as quality of assessment is concerned. The challenges surrounding participation of Bachelor of Education academic staff in teaching practice, such as a large number of students, remoteness of some stations as well as inadequate facilitation of academic staff makes it difficult for them to ensure quality experience is gained by students in teaching practice, and as such, this study concludes that teaching practice has not modeled B.Ed. students as expected by CUE. The study recommends Commission for University Education to come up with standard guidelines, which defines the kind of teaching practice Bachelor of Education students should be subjected into, the qualification of academic staff expected to conduct the preparation and assessment as well as the nature of the schools where students can undertake the teaching practice. In so doing, they will compel all the universities offering the degree to ensure quality standards are adhered to at all times. The study further recommends the university management to incorporate the model of mentor supervisors and regulate their recruitment, incentives and reporting in order to reduce the burden of B.Ed Academic Staff participation in teaching practice.

Between Islamic science and science, according to M. Amin Abdullah, it should not be dichotomous and lack a strong epistemological basis. For this purpose, the work of "integrating" is not enough, because the problem is the difficulty of combining the disciplines of Islam and science, which sometimes do not get along well and in both there is a potential to crush one another. Therefore, according to him, integration efforts must be followed by interconnection efforts of science. This idea from him emerged after he recontextualized M. Abed Al-Jabiri's thoughts, especially those related to the criticism of Arabic reasoning and the rethinking of epistemology. The results were brilliant. The integrative-interconnective paradigm of Islamic studies in Higher Education which he initiated is considered successful in offering a kind of worldview that is more actual, open, and builds a non-dichotomic scientific bridge in higher education. As developed by UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta at this time. This focus is what the author wants to discuss, and for that the author explores mainly all primary literature both written by Abdullah and from the relevant Al-Jabiri, approaches it historically-philosophically and then provides descriptive analysis.

<p>Many previous studies have solely focused on measuring job satisfaction in one category only either among academic or non-academic staff. However, in an educational institution, the two categories of workforce work hard in developing the university. Hence, it is crucial to measure the level of satisfaction in these jobs. Taking this into account, this study intends to identify the factors that contribute to job satisfaction among academic and non-academic staff in public universities. This study adapts the research frameworks from Lacy and Sheehan (1997), and Smerek and Peterson (2006) to measure job satisfaction among academic and non-academic staff, respectively.</p>
