Love-based relationships between teachers and students in early childhood education

As a philosophical basis of education, ‘love’ is crucial to early childhood education. For this reason, early childhood education should cultivate young children’s loving attitudes. Hence, by analysing related work, this paper explored how love-based relationships may be developed between preschool teachers and young children in early childhood education. The methods are as follows: (1) fostering love in preschool teachers’ hearts; (2) creating loving relationships between preschool teachers and young children; (3) providing opportunities for young children to practice loving behaviour; (4) giving young children freedom; (5) maintaining an open dialogue; (6) emphasising democratic participation; (7) avoiding indoctrination; (8) respecting young children’s experiences and discoveries; (9) allowing young children to make choices and (10) understanding young children as individuals.

PHYSICS AND RUSSIA

An outline of the development of physics in Russia is given, with an emphasis on Russian specifics. The conflict between “academic” and “university” physics in Stalin's times is presented somewhat differently, in comparison with the available literature. The term “mystical atheism” was introduced to characterize the philosophical basis of physics of the twentieth century. A brief assessment of the state of science and education in Russia after 1991 is presented.

Demographic Transition in Sub-Saharan Africa: From Grassroots to Ivory Towers

The concept of demographic transition has been evident to European, North American and Japanese population since the early 1960’s. It loosely followed natural patterns that were postulated as far back as 1795. However, scientists and policy makers, still erroneously consider demographic transition to be absent in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this chapter is to uncover the hidden truth behind population censa in sub-Sahara African countries using Statistical tools. The chapter analyses philosophical basis of sub-Saharan Africa demographic dividends from 1960 to 2000. It then cautiously highlights how demographic transition is emerging in sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, it endeavours to highlight how different African countries are in different stages of demographic transition. The chapter also contrasts some of the prevalent misconceptions about Africans, especially the delusional idea of Africans as a homogenous population group on genetic basis. Lastly, it offers solution, to the current demographic chaos, and their relationship to future matured demographic transition in sub-Saharan Africa.

Konsep Pendidikan Karakter Anak Perspektif Pendidikan Islam Menurut Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyyah

The main problem that causes character crises in children is not making faith a philosophical basis in education. So that has implications for the euphoria of excessive freedom. The child's success is only seen from the point of view of the child's academic success. Meanwhile, ethical, moral, and character values ​​have received less serious attention. Therefore, although students excel in terms of their intelligence quotient (IQ), but emotionally quotient (EQ) children experience a very worrying character crisis. In this context, the existence of children's character education is considered very important for the next generation of the nation as an integral part of life and life. The purpose of writing this research is to find out and analyze the thoughts of Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah about the concept of character education for children from the perspective of Islamic education. Children's character education is considered important, because in Islam morality or character is the realization of religious values ​​that collect all goodness and is the foundation of all goodness and the key to achieving all goodness. Education has three elements that exist in humans, namely physical (psychomotor) elements which include body development, skills (skills) and sexual education, spiritual (affective) elements which include fostering faith, morals and irada (will), reason (cognitive) elements. which includes the development of intelligence and the provision of knowledge. The process of character education according to Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyyah focuses on four important things, namely: 1. The importance of introducing children to monotheism to Allah, 2. The need to teach children the basics of religious teachings, 3. Teaching and familiarizing children with good ethics and morals, 4. Exemplary, 5. Educational praise and punishment.

Quality / new thinking, reading in philosophical basis

The objective of the research is based on a material problem. It is the literal application of the concept of quality and the work of its mechanics without applying its function. This function is followed by behavior and thought which is renewed by the renewal of work, its type, form and management. Here we can say that the positive thinker is productive in all its conditions, and this can only be achieved through the perpetuation of thought, knowledge and work in the spirit of wisdom, "the search for existence" - the purpose of the surrounding existence (God) - the speaking person is the wise intellect, He gradually develops into the work of meditation, the research tool, the questioning stage, and as a result philosophizes his existing environment. This contributes to the development of his personal skills, including the quality of his thinking, the formulation of his goals and their application, and thus achieving himself. In light of the above, the question arises: How can quality be a new thinking, and what is its philosophical basis? This research is determined by two arguments: The first topic deals with the theoretical references to the research variables. The second topic examines the quality of practical philosophical thinking / foundations in performance and application. Keywords: quality, new thinking, reading, its philosophical foundations.

SCIENTIA SACRA IN SUFISM AS WELTANSCHAUUNG CONTEMPORARY MUSLIM SPIRITUALITY

This study examines the peripheral area of Sufistic reasoning, where modern humans lose their orientation and cause a psychological crisis—through a fundamental philosophical assessment of the weltanschauung as the axis of Sufism spirituality in Islam, focusing on the contemporary perspective of modern society and the construct of Scientia sacra as the weltanschauung of contemporary Muslim spirituality. The study results confirm that the fundamental problem that represents the relationship between spirituality and modern society is the dualism of the ontology-epistemic framework, as a result of the split understanding between Sufism and its pseudo. The Sufis have built the concept of Scientia sacra based on the integration of theosophical reasoning, ascetic praxis, and philosophical nature. This concept is expected to present conceptual-praxis activities described as exclusive mujahadah , trendy, and introvertistic that “catharsis” themselves from the worldly bustle but have communal, philosophical values closely related to the values rahmat al-khalq. The philosophical basis of this movement originated from theosophical reasoning, transformed into praxis asceticism, and developed as philosophical asceticism. These three elements come from the key statement that Sufism is an existential axis for humans, where the crisis of modern humans is the centrifugal motion of that axis. It is what causes the philosophical values in Sufistic teachings to experience turmoil, ending in a cathartic process towards Scientia sacra as the basis of knowledge, metaphysics, and esotericism.
