There are some notable persons for<br />this field, such as Iqbal, Fazlur Rahman, Afzalur Rahman, Al-Faruqi which to<br />some extent parallel or influence Indonesian thinkers’ such as Mukti Ali, Harun<br />Nasution, Cak Nur, Amin Abdullah, etc. Some are still at the level of speculative<br />thought, while others have applied their ideas in educational institutions, like<br />Amin Abdullah and Imam Suprayoga.<br />Perubahan sosial, perkembangan dan kemajuan kebudayaan umat manusia<br />memengaruhi pendidikan yang merupakan bidang yang tak terpisahkan dari<br />kehidupan manusia itu sendiri.

Islam is very concerned about and highly respects science. Science is very complex to navigate human life, al attas upholds science that will have a positive impact on the development and world civilization. There is a term in the category of religious knowledge and general knowledge which was introduced by al Ghazali. So al attas, in this case, will provide new knowledge and insights of all knowledge that will be affected by changes and developments in world civilization. With the concept of Islamic thought, the science of al Attas is applied in the context of modern Islamic education in Indonesia, from basic education institutions to higher education institutions. Which states the concept of Islamization of science in an integrated manner in the concept of Islamic education from aspects of educational institutions, aspects of the curriculum, aspects of educators, and aspects of students. These four aspects are an attempt to implement the concept of Islamization of science in real human life with the concept of the theory of nature inherent in humans as caliph on earth.

The dynamics of several demographic indicators of Russia - child and teenage cohorts in 1970-2000, life expectancy in 1995-2000, migration flows among federal districts in the period between two censuses of 1989 and 2002 - are considered in the article. The author puts forward the hypothesis about the influence of these indicators on the level of education in narrow and broad senses - in educational institutions and the society as a whole. He estimates the perspectives of regional higher educational institutions under conditions of absence of plan distribution of graduates and the double cyclical fall in the number of high school graduates. The agenda for the development of a two-stage system of higher education corresponding with international integration processes is formulated.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has affected all aspects of human life, with education, not an exception. In an attempt to stop the SARS-CoV-2 spreading like wildfire, the Government of Nepal has implemented nationwide lockdowns since March 24, 2020, that have enforced schools and universities to shut down. As a consequence, more than four hundred thousand students of various levels in higher education institutions (HEIs) are in a dilemma about restoring the situation. Several HEIs, nationwide, have leaped forward from the traditional concept of learning—limited within the boundary of the classroom—to choosing digital platforms as an alternative means of teaching because of the pandemic. For this research, the descriptive and inferential analysis was carried out to investigate the effects and challenges of learning via digital platforms during this pandemic. Data were collected from students and faculty at various levels of higher education and analyzed statistically with different factors using t-test and ANOVA, and variables were found to be approximately normally distributed. The study revealed that 70% of the respondents had access to the Internet, but 36% of the Internet accessed did not continue online classes due to unexpected disturbance in Internet and electrical connectivity. Likewise, 65% of students did not feel comfortable with online classes, and among attendees of online classes, 78% of students want to meet the instructor for a better understanding of course matters. According to the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model, three factors, such as institutional policy, internet access, and poverty, are found to be significant factors affecting the online higher education systems in Nepal. On the brighter side, this outbreak has brought ample opportunities to reform the conventional teaching-learning paradigm in Nepal.

Psychological research centers help indirectly contact professionals from the fields of human life, job environment, family life, and psychological infrastructure for psychiatric patients. This research aims to detect job apathy patterns from the behavior of employee groups in the University of Baghdad and the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This investigation presents an approach using data mining techniques to acquire new knowledge and differs from statistical studies in terms of supporting the researchers’ evolving needs. These techniques manipulate redundant or irrelevant attributes to discover interesting patterns. The principal issue identifies several important and affective questions taken from a questionnaire, and the psychiatric researchers recommend these questions. Useless questions are pruned using the attribute selection method. Moreover, pieces of information gained through these questions are measured according to a specific class and ranked accordingly. Association and a priori algorithms are used to detect the most influential and interrelated questions in the questionnaire. Consequently, the decisive parameters that may lead to job apathy are determined.
