Understanding Islamic Education Management in Digital Era: What Experts Say

Since technology changed the world, all business activities have changed completely, especially in developed countries significantly. As a result, state leaders adopted a policy that had never happened, namely the application of technology in all fields so that almost all activities in the world used technology to continue activities even though they were not fully ready. Likewise, by incorporating technology into education, which is now increasingly digital, the education industry can continue to be sustainable, more affordable, and achieve maximum goals. In particular, this study wants to understand the application of technology in Islamic education governance. For this reason, our data search efforts are carried out with electronic assistance, Google Scholar, in other applications. Our analysis then involves coding the system, evaluating, and interpreting the data in depth to produce valid and reliable findings. We conducted this study in a qualitative data review design on publications published from 2010 to 2021 to find the most recent data. Based on the discussion of the findings data, it can be concluded that these findings have answered several questions, including that the management of Islamic education institutions appreciates and appreciates the use of digital technology or websites in graduate preparation programs that have the same knowledge and upskills balance between the interests of the world and the preparation for the hereafter.

On a Continuum: Examining NCORE’s Influence in the Development of Multicultural Competence in Student Affairs Educators

Multiculturally competent student affairs educators are required to effectively meet the needs of today’s diverse student population. However, little is known about how educators acquire these skills. This study examined the multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills gained by student affairs educators through their participation in NCORE, an experiential conference exploring race and ethnicity. Results of the study have implications for graduate preparation programs and professional development opportunities for student affairs educators.

Teaching Trans*: Strategies and Tensions of Teaching Gender in Student Affairs Preparation Programs

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this article is to outline a pedagogical framework we as trans* educators utilize to center trans* identities and epistemologies in classrooms alongside graduate students. Background: Little has been written about the experiences of trans* educators in classroom spaces, in particular how gender mediates pedagogical approaches. Methodology : This article is conceptual in nature, and as such, does not draw on any particular methodology. Instead, we draw from our ongoing experiences as trans* educators in the classroom. Contribution: Due to the lack of theorizing or empirical work about trans* educators in classroom spaces, this article serves as an entry point into thinking what we as authors describe as ‘teaching trans*.” Findings: This article is broken into three theoretical components: teaching as trans*, teaching about trans*, and teaching with trans* epistemologies. Recommendations for Practitioners: Through this article, we as authors encourage practitioners to be aware of how gender is always already present in all spaces, including in classrooms. Thus, it becomes incumbent upon practitioners to use expansive notions of gender through pedagogical strategies, materials, and praxis. Recommendation for Researchers: This article promotes a deeper understanding of how one’s gender identity, expression, and/or embodiment mediates and can enhance classroom teaching. While this article starts to address an under-theorized and under-researched area of study, more should be done to address how gender influences pedagogy. Impact on Society: Due to the omnipresence of gender binary thinking, this article has implications not just for classroom spaces, but for student affairs graduate preparation programs, as well as society writ large. Future Research: This article opens the door for further research into student resistance to trans* and gender nonconforming educators’ pedagogy.
