National Council Of Teacher Of Mathematics (NCTM) said that learning Mathematics goals develop five basic abilities, namely problem solving, communication, connection, reasoning, and representation. These five abilities are essential to be considered and assured its accomplishment. Thus, developing these five abilities cannot be separated because they contribute to one another. While in fact, these five Mathematics abilities of students are still low. This research aimed to know the development of these five basic Mathematical abilities through structured tasks using the blog and explaining the importance of basic Mathematical skills in math learning and how Mathematics builds basic math skills to students. One of them is to implement a blog-assisted structured task method. This research sample was five classes from 11 class X MAN 1 Aceh Barat and 1st grade from 2nd grade X SMA Unggul Tunas Bangsa, Aceh Barat Daya selected with random sampling. The data collection instrument was a written test of the five basic Mathematical abilities and interviewing few students. The Data was analyzed using T-Test. The results of the analysis showed that not all basic abilities developed. From these five basic mathematical abilities, three basic Mathematical abilities developed, namely problem solving, connections, and communication. In comparison, the other two capabilities did not develop, namely reasoning and representation.

G. I. Gurdjieff (c.1866–1949) was born in Gyumri, Armenia and raised in the Caucasus and eastern Asia Minor. He also traveled extensively throughout Turkey to places of pilgrimage and in search of Sufi teachers. Through the lens of Gurdjieff’s notion of legominism, or the means by which spiritual teachings are transmitted from successive generations, this article explores the continuing significance of spiritual practice and tradition and the ways that these forms remain relevant in shaping contemporary trends in spirituality. Beginning with Gurdjieff’s use of legominism, the article provides reflection on some early findings done in field research in Turkey— through site visits, interviews and participant-observation—conducted in the summers of 2014 and 2015. The aim of the project is both to meet individuals and groups, particularly connected to Sufism, that may have some contact with the influences that Gurdjieff would have been familiar with, and to visit some of the sites that were part of Gurdjieff’s early background and which served to inform his work. Considerations of contemporary practices include the view of spiritual transmission, and practices of pilgrimage, prayer and sohbet, or spiritual conversation, in an ongoing discourse about spiritual transformation.

Introduction. The paper considers the Mari clothing for funeral and memorial rituals, its specific features, and functions. The purpose of the research is to define a role and application that clothes have in ceremonies. Materials and Methods. As the research materials for the article, the author used ethnographic sources published in the XIX and early XX centuries, field journals by Tatyana Kryukova belonged to the Archive of the Russian Museum of Ethnography, as well as the author’s personal field research materials, collected during personal expeditionary activities in the Mari El Republic. The structural-functional and comparatively historical methods were the major methods for the research. The research materials were collected by means of participant observation and semi-structural interview methods. Results and Discussion. The Mari clothing during the funeral and memorial ceremonies marked two core functions, being represented by a costume of the deceased person and as an independent ritual object. Dressing the deceased person entailed a number of taboos whereas some clothes of the deceased were used to fill up the coffin. During the memorial rituals, the clothing of the deceased became a part of the «substitution» ritual when the role of the deceased was taken on by living people who were present at the ceremony. Apart from that, the clothing served as a present for the participants of the ceremony. Conclusion. A change of clothes in the lifecycle rituals marked a transfer of the clothes’ owner from one condition to another. A deceased person was a key figure during the funeral rite, while a change of his clothes facilitated their separation from the living ones. The costume itself was characterized by the inversion of the details and revealed its reference to wedding items. In the context of the memorial ceremonies, the clothing functioned as means of communication between a deceased and living ones, whereas its prolonged use accepted as a gift allowed maintaining the communication.

Muslim minority exists in many part of Indonesia. Some areas that present muslim minority such as Menado in North Sulawesi, great area in Bali, Papua and West Papua at large. Those regions reflect that muslim live which is not similar with other muslim majority. Therefore, this research will explore madrasah in engaging empowering individual capacity in muslim minority. In short, this study will focus on madrasa role in enhancing muslim capacity in West Papua. This study conducted in West Papua Province. There are one city and twelve counties through the territory. Qualitative approach was utilized in multisite case study type. In-depth interview and non-participant observation were employed in collecting data. Field research was carried out on March to June 2013. Interview was performed with teacher, administrator, and educational bureaucracy. Furthermore, observation was presented in many activities, teaching and learning processes, and community development programs. Complementing data collection, focus group discussions were held in universities for series meeting. Another step to comply with triangulation is scholars consultation and peer-reviewed to ensure the research validity. This research shows that there are differentiation between muslim majority and minority in Indonesian society. Started from curriculum enhancement to program development formulate multicultural society. Self empowerment, entrepreneurship and skill improvement of movement were taken to ensure that madrasah establishments contribute to the society. Despite a controversial portrayal that media endorsed, madrasah and pesantren already demonstrate a great contribution during foundation of Indonesia in a nation. Madrasah also engage in civil society discourse, educational progress, promoting cultural awareness, and raising tolerance on religious variety. Through those activities, one of the major concerns is community development. This program was targeted to community educational awareness in madrasah surrounding area. They are running actions in term of basic need of those communities such as fishing, and farm treatment. In line up with those programs, it is to target the workforce problem. Muslim communities face high unskilled workers. Therefore, this program that ruined is one of the problem solving. On the other hand, religious understanding is also another concern. Students still need to attend classes in the morning to afternoon. They participate on those programs on evening and holidays. This progress is only to complement students‟ skill. However, tradition and culture are among problem in implementing those objectives. Communication and discussion effort were constructed to considerate appreciation. Observing the progress of madrasah in muslim minority is appropriate. It shows that there is a significant contribution to enhance muslim current modernity in the region. Moreover, there is respond towards ideas of change in dealing with environment and progress. Finally, madrasah take a part not only in education activities but also society empowerment; culturally based activities are keys in empowering and development.

Preparing high school students for engineering disciplines is crucial for sustainable scientific and technological developments in the USA. This paper discusses a pre-college program, which not only exposes students to various engineering disciplines but also enables them to consider engineering as the profession. The four-week long “Engineering Innovation (EI)” course is offered every year to high school students by the center of outreach, Johns Hopkins University. EI program is designed to develop problem-solving skills through extensive hands-on engineering experiments. A team consisting of an instructor, generally a PhD in Engineering, and a teaching fellow, generally a high school science teacher, closely work with students to pedagogically inculcate basics of core engineering disciplines such as civil, mechanical, electrical, materials, and chemical engineering. EI values independent problem-solving skills and simultaneously promote the team spirit among students. A number of crucial engineering aspects such as professional ethics, communications, technical writing, and understanding of common engineering principles are inculcated among high school students via well-designed individual and group activities. This paper discusses the model of EI program and its impact on students learning and their preparation for the engineering career.
