The study sought to determine the role that the National Archives of Namibia plays in the management of audio visuals in an attempt to curtail the deterioration of audio-visual archives which are kept in various organisations, some of which are unknown to the National Archives of Namibia. A qualitative method was applied in the study. The case study used the interpretive paradigm which enabled the researcher to triangulate the data collection instruments. Interviews, questionnaires and observation checklists were used to collect data. Content analysis was carried out to analyse data from interviews, document review and the observations. While Excel software provided descriptive statistics on graphs. The results indicated that AV materials were created and stored by various organisations, including the National Archives of Namibia, which oversees the management of all records. The Archives Act (Act 12 of 1992), section 4(1), gives a mandate to the National Archives of Namibia for control over records and archives of all formats in government offices, offices of local authorities and statutory institutions. Nonetheless, there are instances where AV materials are not deposited or stored in appropriate conditions. It is also apparent that different cataloguing and classification systems are used by different organisations. It is clear that most of the organisations manage AV materials in the same way as paper formats records. There is also an inadequately skilled workforce who were given a responsibility to manage AV materials. The study was limited to the Khomas region. Since there are 14 regions in Namibia, the findings cannot be generalized to other regions. Future studies should cover other regions. The results point to the need for the National Archives of Namibia to adopt an integrated approach to the management of AV records. This will require the NAN to work in cooperation with public sector institutions and empower them to preserve AV materials while, at the same time, they continue to deposit copies with the National Archives of Namibia. Unlike previous studies on management of audio visual archives in Namibia, this study included other organisations. The results give a clear picture of the role the National Archives plays in the management of audio visual records and archives.

AbstractEducation in pesantren is generally carried out in a dormitory that lives and stays for 24 hours, under the main guidance of the Kiai or the head of the pesantren. It is necessary to understand the parenting patterns of children in the pesantren so that the conditions and affective development of children are created as expected by parents who submit their children to study at the pesantren. This study aims to understand the parenting style of pesantren education on children's affective development. This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data collection technique is done by interview, observation, and document review. The results showed that the boarding school's education parenting towards children's affective development was manifested through the cultivation of santri discipline, cultivation of independence, cultivation of an awareness of the importance of society, habituation of conducting book studies, developing talents and interests, and giving sanctions to students who violate the discipline. This finding reinforces the opinion that pesantren have played a role in educating people's lives. It is suggested that this parenting style be studied more widely and deeply so that it can then be applied to other pesantren. AbstrakPendidikan di pesantren umumnya dilaksanakan dalam suatu asrama yang hidup dan tinggal selama 24 jam, di bawah bimbingan utama kiai atau pimpinan pondok pesantren. Diperlukan pemahaman pola pengasuhan anak di pesantren sehingga tercipta kondisi dan perkembangan afektif anak sesuai yang diharapkan oleh orang tua yang menyerahkan anaknya belajar di pesantren. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami pola asuh pendidikan pesantren terhadap perkembangam afektif anak. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Teknik pemgumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara, observasi dan telaah dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola asuh pendidikan pesantren terhadap perkembangan afektif anak terwujud melalui penanaman disiplin santri, penanaman kemandirian, penanaman  sikap sadar akan pentingnya bermasyarakat, pembiasaan melakukan kajian kitab, pengembangan bakat dan minat, serta  pemberian  sangsi terhadap santri yang melanggar tata tertib. Temuan ini menguatkan pendapat bahwa pesantren telah berperan dalam mencerdaskan kehidupan masyarakat. Oleh karena itu disarankan agar pola asuh tersebut dikaji lebih luas dan mendalam untuk kemudian dapat diterapkan pada pesantren lainnya.
