Near the end of the winter semester of the school year 2018/2019 the attitudes of students of graduate studies at Faculty of Science (PMF), educational studies at Faculty of Science, Department of Physics (PMF-F) and Faculty of Education (UF), Čakovec Department (N=151) were analysed, regarding the core values of the National Curriculum Framework (NOK) and education system. „The questionnaire of attitudes towards values as fundamental components of the National Curriculum Framework“ and „Questionnaire of students’ attitudes towards education system“. The aim of the study was to determine if there were any differences among students of UF and PMF-F regarding their attitudes towards the core values of NOK and regarding attitudes towards education system. A significant difference in attitudes was established, regarding identity, solidarity, responsability and pupil teacher partnership (students of UF and female students in general appreciate these values more) whereas there were no differences regarding acquired knowledge, teaching process and atmosphere. More than 90% of students of UF expressed their wish to pursue a career in school education, while less than 50% of students of PMF-F agreed with them. The results call for further research of students’ attitudes and of reasons for decreased interest of students of education studies of PMF-F to participate in school education processes.

Literature circles create an opportunity for students to make reading a fun-filled activity and at the same time develop their fluency skills. This action research examined the efficacy of creating literature circles in the classroom as an intervention program to address students’ problems in reading fluency specifically in terms of phrasing and accuracy. Furthermore, it also investigated the attitudes of students’ toward reading before and after they became members of a literature circle.  The study was conducted among 30 grade 7 students from the same section who belong to the frustration level during the oral reading assessment done at the beginning of the school year. Results of the study revealed that there was an improvement in the students phrasing in reading after the 10-week intervention period but not significantly enough to improve their fluency. On the other hand, a significant difference was observed on the students’ reading rate after the intervention period. Furthermore, the students’ attitudes toward reading have also positively changed after they became members of the literature circles. The study concluded that the creation of literature circles in the classroom could improve students’ reading fluency.

The Core

The Principles of Islam requirehuman to maintain  and improve their moral values BuT in fact, many  Moslems  face problems of moral deteriora tion, crisis of beliefs, and moral decadence that happenin all aspects of life. This moral deterioration is often associated by  the  experts  of  education  with the failure of educat ion. The failure of education relates to the education system that has various components that affect each other. The elements needed in the education system are the goal of education , educators, students, tool s,  and  natural  surroundings. The results of this study indicate that the essence of  spiritual  learning obligations according to Syaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilaniy is araising the total of  truth towards  Allah SWT's path.  The aims of the learning areto implement knowledge and clean  the heart (tazkiyyah al-nafs) from worldly characters and the lust of dirtiness to ma'rifatullah. Spiritual educators are  those who  practice  the law of Allah, clean the heart and  guide  students to the  safety of life  in the Hereafter . Learners constantly face Allah and obey Him, do not meet the call besides Allah, listen  to  the  call  of  Allah  and implement everything stated in the Qur ·an  and  the  Prophet tradition. Teaching method used is the method of mau'izhah, sima',  ahwal ,   and   muhasabah  fial-nafs (introspection). Educational materials are  based  on  the  basics  of  spiritual education in the Qur'an, the Prothet tradition. and the opinion of Muslim religious leaders who have noble characters and integrate science.  Moral education  is  the core of Islamic education. The implications of the spiritual educational thought of Syaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilaniy toward the reality of Islamic education in Indonesia is the emphasis of moral education that leads to a balance relationship  between  the  exoteric  and esoteric aspects of the learning process.
