STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM BAGI ANAK TUNAGRAHITA

Education is the right of all citizens regardless of origin, caste or physical condition of a person, including children with disabilities. As mandated in the Constitution Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System in article 5 paragraphs 1 and 2 it is stated that "Every citizen has the same right to obtain quality education and "Every citizen who has physical, mental, intellectual and or social workers have the right to special education” (UU Sisdiknas 2003). Therefore, Islamic religious education must also be given to children with special needs, one of which is mentally retarded children, of course in the learning process using different learning strategies from the learning strategies applied to formal school students.Keywords: Mental retardation, Learning StrategyAbstrakPendidikan sebagai hak seluruh warga negara tanpa membedakan asal-usul, kasta maupun keadaan fisik seseorang, termasuk anak-anak yang memiliki kecacatan. Sebagaimana di amanatkan dalam UUD Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional pada pasal 5 ayat 1 dan 2 dinyatakan bahwa “Setiap warga negara mempunyai hak yang sama untuk memperoleh pendidikan yang bermutu dan “Setiap warga Negara yang memiliki kelainan fisik, mental, intelektual dan atau sosial berhak memperoleh pendidikan khusus” (UU Sisdiknas 2003). Oleh sebab itulah pendidikan agama Islam juga harus diberikan kepada anak berkebutuhan khusus salah satunya adalah anak Tunagrahita, tentunya dalam proses pembelajarannya menggunakan strategi pembelajaran yang berbeda dengan strategi pembelajaran yang diterapkan pada siswa sekolah formal.Kata kunci: Tunagrahita, Strategi Pembelajaran

Variation, Transmission, and Maintenance of Traditional Ecological Knowledge on Malekula Island, Vanuatu

<p>The traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of local and indigenous people supports the resilience of social-ecological systems and is an important aspect of global biocultural diversity. However, TEK is at risk of erosion amid social and ecological change, and may be threatened by homogenising influences such as formal school systems. Loss of TEK is of particular concern in countries such as Vanuatu, a culturally diverse nation where TEK is a critical component of resource management, medicinal practice, and adaptive capacity. This thesis aims to fill four key literature gaps surrounding the variation, transmission, and maintenance of TEK, and is situated in four rural communities on Malekula Island, Vanuatu. This research employs an interdisciplinary mixed-methods approach across four core chapters. The first uses multi-model inferencing to show that systems of TEK are dynamic and complex, and that change is variable across domains of knowledge and segments of the population. Data in this chapter indicate that ethnomedical knowledge is at risk of erosion in younger age cohorts. The second core chapter shows that the cultural transmission of TEK is predominantly vertical in nature (i.e. passed from parent to child), is initiated during the early teens, and that some skills (such as the carving of ceremonial items) appear to be less salient to younger age cohorts. This chapter also notes a changing developmental niche for TEK transmission, and suggests that changes in both the setting and strategies for knowledge transmission are key mechanisms that drive TEK variation. The third and fourth core chapters discuss aspects of TEK maintenance: first, by examining top-down strategies for TEK revitalisation by eliciting local perceptions of the value of TEK to formal school systems; and second, by identifying the triggers and barriers to bottom-up, in situ TEK maintenance in local organisations known as 'kastom schools'. Both approaches have potential to conserve aspects of TEK, however in situ approaches may be best for encouraging the maintenance of knowledge and practice within an appropriate cultural context. There are, however, significant epistemological barriers to both top-down and bottom-up approaches to TEK maintenance, which may ultimately limit their effectiveness. This research fills several key literature gaps and employs a diverse and novel range of analytical tools. The data presented here highlight the depth, diversity and importance of TEK in Vanuatu, and emphasise the need for careful and considered approaches to its maintenance. However, these findings also show the dynamic and complex nature of cultural change, and suggest that attempts at TEK measurement and maintenance must be cognisant of temporal and spatial variation in the drivers and impact of TEK change. Moreover, this research emphasises that TEK systems are inextricably bound in wider issues of power, heterogeneity, and political ecology, and that TEK maintenance is fundamentally linked to self-determination and the lived value of tradition in contemporary social contexts.</p>

Creative Writing Among Chinese Teachers: An Overview of Phenomenological Psychology

This research is a descriptive study that wants to explore creative writing among Chinese teachers through the perspective of phenomenological psychology. The method used in this research is qualitative. The respondents of this study were 19 teachers who came from formal school teachers and LBB teachers. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of questionnaires, documentation, and interviews. Data analysis technique is done by identification, classification, and reduction. The researcher also carried out data validity so that the data was maintained scientifically. The results of the study show the following. First, most Chinese teachers do not write creatively because they are more concerned with the field of Mandarin. Second, from the aspect of the cause of the lack of creative writing in Chinese teachers who occupy the highest position is the environment because in the opinion of respondents, the environment is very influential because in their daily life they live in an environment.

Herbatian formalism in Bohemia

From a bird’s eye view, the history of 19th century aesthetics can be cast in terms of strife between two mutually opposed philosophical camps. On the one hand, the champions of a content-oriented understanding of beauty as the sensory manifestation of the idea (the followers of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel) and, on the other hand, the formalists (inspired by Johann Friedrich Herbart) who conceived of beauty as a purely relational category devoid of any content. My paper focuses on the robust development of the formal school at Prague University after 1850 exemplified by the theories of Robert Zimmermann (1824-1898), Josef Durdík (1837-1902), and Otakar Hostinský (1847-1910). It concludes with posing the question whether the structuralist aesthetics advanced in mid-1930s by the Prague Linguistic Circle was not, in fact, an echo of the indigenous Herbartian formalism.

Character provides an overview of a nation, as a marker of characterization, as well as differentiating a nation from another. Character is the direction of how the nation will pass through an era and deliver it to a certain degree. A great nation is a nation that has character that is able to build a civilization of Saleh, (2012: 1). Character education which is systematically applied to one of the formal school institutions, namely Elementary School (SD) is a fairly good progress. The students acquire positive behaviors and habits that can increase their self-confidence. Character education applied to formal educational institutions can also be a means of civilizing and humanizing Noviani, (2011: 205-215). Data was collected through interviews, documentation and observation. Analysis of the data in this study with the following steps: Data Reduction, Data Presentation, Conclusion Drawing and Verification From the results of data analysis carried out on the impact of scouting activities in shaping the character of discipline and responsibility, namely rewards and punishments, direct orders and directions, and conditioning for every action. The achievement of 4 indicators of discipline and responsibility in keeping the lesson schedule such as doing the assigned tasks, discipline and responsibility in respecting time, students do not procrastinate on work, especially worship, self-discipline and responsibility focusing on students' independence and discipline and responsibility in maintaining physical condition, namely students are able to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Resilience in Formal School Education in Vanuatu: A Mismatch with National, Regional and International Policies

Analysis of school curricula in Vanuatu, the world’s most disaster-prone nation, shows that in-depth learning about disasters, and climate change does not occur until the end of secondary education, when only 13% of primary level 1 children are still in school. Furthermore, such education in resilience is confined to optional subjects. We demonstrate that this situation does not match the objectives of Vanuatu’s policies on resilience and sustainable development, the Framework for Resilient Development in the Pacific, nor key international policies, and argue for the inclusion of suitable learning materials at earlier curricular levels.

Educational attainment and trajectories of cognitive decline during four decades—The Glostrup 1914 cohort

Background The potential association between level of education and age-related cognitive decline remains an open question, partly because of a lack of studies including large subsamples with low education and follow-up intervals covering a substantial part of the adult lifespan. Objectives To examine cognitive decline assessed by a comprehensive clinical test of intelligence over a 35-year period of follow-up from ages 50 to 85 and to analyze the effect of education on trajectories of cognitive decline, including the effects of selective attrition. Methods A longitudinal cohort study with a 35-year follow-up of community dwelling members of the Glostrup 1914 cohort. The study sample comprised 697 men and women at the 50-year baseline assessment and additional participants recruited at later follow-ups. Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs were assessed using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale at ages 50, 60, 70, 80, and 85. To be able to track cognitive changes between successive WAIS assessments, all IQs were based on the Danish 50-year norms. Information on school education was self-reported. The association between education and cognitive decline over time was examined in growth curve models. Selective attrition was investigated in subsamples of participants who dropped out at early or later follow-ups. Results The trajectories for Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ showed higher initial cognitive performance, but also revealed steeper decline among participants with a formal school exam compared to participants without a formal exam. Verbal IQ showed the largest difference in level between the two educational groups, whereas the interaction between education and age was stronger for Performance IQ than for Verbal IQ. In spite of the difference in trajectories, higher mean IQ was observed among participants with a formal school exam compared to those without across all ages, including the 85-year follow-up. Further analyses revealed that early dropout was associated with steeper decline, but that this effect was unrelated to education. Conclusion Comprehensive cognitive assessment over a 35-year period suggests that higher education is associated with steeper decline in IQ, but also higher mean IQ at all follow-ups. These findings are unlikely to reflect regression towards the mean, other characteristics of the employed test battery or associations between educational level and study dropout.
