Pengembangan Teori Pembelajaran Humanisme menurut Jurgen Habermas serta Relevansinya Dalam Pendidikan Islam

Teori pembelajaran humanisme meyakini bahwa proses pendidikan tidak diarahkan untuk membentuk kompetensi peserta didik, tetapi sebaliknya dimaksudkan untuk mengembangkan potensi yang melekat dalam diri peserta didik itu sendiri, sebagai pribadi yang unggul dan istimewa. Sehingga sudut pandang yang digunakan ialah sudut pandang dari peserta didik sebagai individu pembelajar, sementara peran pendidik (guru) sebatas pada upaya dan usaha untuk memfasilitasi kebutuhan perkembangan diri dari peserta didik tersebut. Dalam proses pengembangannya menurut Jurgen Habermas, teori pembelajaran humanisme dapat dilaksanakan melalui tiga tahapan belajar, yaitu: belajar teknis (technical learning), belajar praktis (practical learning), dan belajar emansipatoris (emancipator learning). Melalui tiga tahapan belajar tersebut, peserta didik diharapkan dapat mencapai kesadaran yang utuh mengenai dirinya dan lingkungan sosialnya, hal inilah yang sekaligus menjadikan teori pembelajaran humanisme yang dikembangkan oleh Jurgen Habermas selaras dengan tujuan pendidikan Islam, sebab pada akhinya output dari teori pembelajaran humanisme ialah mencapai kearifan dan bijaksanaan hidup, sehingga seorang peserta didik dapat mengenali siapa dirinya, berikut peran sosial yang harus dilakukannya ditengah-tengah lingkungannya, sehingga pada akhirnya peserta didik dapat mengembangkan potensi dirinya dengan semaksimal mungkin, tanpa tercerabut dari lingkungan kulturalnya.

Does Accounting and Finance Courses Enable Soft Skill Learning? A Mediation Study

Accounting and finance courses are critical to any management programs as they are relevant to other vocational courses. Does these courses help in improving soft skills also? This is a question which is not much probed in literature and is the focus of the study. The objective of the research is to analyze the effect of two independent variables (interest of students and their educational/professional background) on the soft skill learning in accounting and finance courses under the mediating effect of readiness for the course and the technical learnings from the course. The research is based on a survey of respondents from three stakeholders (students, faculty and professionals) and uses regressions to analyze single variable and multi variable mediations. The study found a suppression effect of interest of students on soft skill learning in the presence of technical learning. Also, soft skill learning was found to be positively affected by educational/professional background of students, readiness of students to take the course and technical learning, taken together. The findings of the study would enable business schools to prepare a better curriculum for enhanced learning in accounting and finance courses, which ultimately affects the three stakeholders.

Is Ghana’s Law Against Human Trafficking a Success?

This article assessed the success or otherwise of the Ghana Human Trafficking Act (GHTA), 2005, in curbing human trafficking. On the basis of interviews and secondary information, the assessment was done along the program, process, and politics dimensions. The evidence showed that GHTA achieved fairly its program objectives. However, failures occurred in all the phases of the Act’s enactment process. In particular, agenda setting suffered from definitional ambiguity surrounding human trafficking and implementation was mired by resource constraints and financial impropriety. The findings also revealed that an integrated model of human trafficking has greater explanatory power than a single one, but there is inattention to this in extant literature. The article concludes that lessons should be drawn from the specific type as well as the overall program, process, and political failures of the Act. As in this case, an exclusive focus on technical learning to the neglect of potential process and political failures has increased rather than decreased the chances of policy failure. Moreover, the accent on legislative bans to the neglect of other interventions is futile.
