The Hardiness Profile of Islamic Boarding School Student in Indonesian

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the hardiness profile of students in Islamic boarding schools and determine whether or not hardiness has a practical impact on students through Islamic boarding schools, with the top indicators being challenge, control, and commitment. Every shift brings with it a new set of challenges, which can be challenging to adjust to. This research employs quantitative methods to demonstrate this. For the 2020/2021 academic year, student boarding school students in Jakarta served as the study's subject population. As a result, 76 participants were chosen at random using a purposive selection method. It is possible to get data using the santri hardiness instrument as the method of gathering information. The hypothetical mean approach is utilized in this study to determine the optimal score, the minimal score, the standard deviation, and the theoretical mean. The score range is obtained in order to determine the category, which will be as follows: X 129.3 indicates a high category, 103.7 129.3 indicates a medium category, and X 103.7 indicates a low category. It is possible to conclude from these estimates that the hardiness profile of boarding school kids falls into the middle category. The result is that most students have attitudes and skills that are not yet optimal for coping with life difficulties in Islamic boarding schools.

Re-Constructing the Tutors-Tutees Relationships for Better Academic Performance in Universities Amidst Covid-19 New Normal

In the past, the success of Supplemental Instruction (Tutorial Sessions) depends on the tutors and tutees' physical and social relationships. However, the assumption exists that when there are no physical connections between the duos may affect their social interrelationships, impeding the success and intention of SI in the University classrooms. This study, therefore, investigates the current relationships amidst new normal towards SI and students performance. The study is underpinned by attachment theory to unravel the extent, importance and shortcomings of the assumed change in the relationship between the understudied. The study is guided by the Transformative Paradigm (TP) and Participatory Research (PR) to identify the possible dichotomies in their relationships. Purposive selection method was used to select five tutors and five tutees in a selected university in South Africa. Online (WhatsApp, email, and telephonic) interview was used to collect data from the participants. The data were subjected to thematic analysis. The result showed that that; struggles with the use and lack of Internet-of-Things and unstructured work-hours were the significant challenges that affected online tutorial sessions. On the other hand, the study also found out that students need ICT training and devices, including motivation for performance. Therefore, we recommend that training of ICT and provision of devices alongside strong motivation should be ensured. Received: 1 February 2021 / Accepted: 3 March 2021 / Published: 7 March 2021

Resource use pattern among poultry enterprises in Abia State, Nigeria

The challenge to increase meat production in Nigeria appears to be more urgent now than ever. This is in view of the rapidly increasing population, the imminent decline in hunting and the low protein intake in rural areas. Poultry meal especially broiler is one of the easiest to produce, hence its purposive selection. Input-Output data were generated from selected poultry farmers in Abia State. The data were analyzed by use of descriptive statistics and econometric estimations. Efficiency in the resource use pattern was examined using Marginal Value Product of each of the examined resources with its unit price. It was identified that there are possibilities of increasing broiler mear supply through higher levels of resource-use pattern under the existing technology.

Lessons from history predicting a possible tax revolt in South Africa

South Africa is experiencing harsh economic circumstances, which negatively affects the economic environment of its citizens. Literature shows that historical tax resistance or tax revolts were mostly sparked by citizens burdened by their economic living conditions. South Africans' disgruntlement has been voiced in many ways, from resistance to E-tolls to increasing numbers of violent service protests. This article explores the economic factors present in three historical tax revolts to assess the possibility of tax resistance and/or a tax revolt in South Africa. The three historical tax revolts were identified through a purposive selection process. A systematic review was then followed to identify the economic factors present in each historical tax revolt. Finally, the economic factors deduced from the historical tax revolts were applied to the current economic situation in South Africa. The findings are that all the economic factors identified from history are currently present in South Africa, indicating the imminent possibility of a tax revolt. Whilst previous research has focused mainly on explaining past events, this article attempts to anticipate and prevent a future event. The contribution of this article is thus to underline possible economic factors that may lead to tax resistance and/or a tax revolt in South Africa. The aftermath of COVID-19 may further worsen the current economic situation, especially with the exacerbation of the already high unemployment rate that may just be a tipping point for a possible tax revolt.

Migrant Workers’ Child Care Style in Cilacap District

The Migrant workers in Cilacap District are dominated by women who are married, so that the care of the children is carried out by the father. This research aims to examine the father's parenting. This research uses a qualitative approach. It uses Purposive selection to find the informants. The Informants include father, wife/ mother, secondary family (grandfather, grandmother, and siblings). Data were collected by interview, observation and documentation. The results of the study were two kinds of care, some were delegated to secondary families. For example grandparents or other relatives and some were cared for by their husbands/ fathers. However, in general the care is delegated to secondary families. The reason is because the husband/ father does not have parenting experience. The parenting pattern applied by secondary families / grandparents applies permissive and democratic parenting. Then for those who are cared for by their husbands / fathers themselves apply a democratic parenting pattern. Where parents are warm and affectionate to children. Parents, especially fathers, explain why children should not do something. For care for adolescents, care is done by the husband/ father himself. The pattern of parenting that is applied uses permissive and democratic patterns. BKKBN recommendation needs to carry out parenting training for fathers, so that female migrant families do not delegate care to secondary familie

Research Synthesis Infrastructures: Shaping Knowledge in Education

Research syntheses provide one means of managing the proliferation of research knowledge by integrating learnings across primary research studies. What it means to appropriately synthesize research, however, remains a matter of debate: Syntheses can assume a variety of forms, each with important implications for the shape knowledge takes and the interests it serves. To help shed light on these differences and their stakes, this chapter provides a critical comparative review of six research synthesis infrastructures, entities that support research syntheses through investments they make in synthesis production and/or publication—enabling (and constraining) the ways knowledge takes shape. Identifying our critical cases through purposive selection, we examined research synthesis infrastructure variations with respect to four different kinds of investments they make: in the genres of synthesis they support, in their promotion of synthesis quality, in sponsoring stakeholder engagement, and in creating the conditions for collective work. We draw on this comparison to suggest some of the potential changes and challenges in store for education researchers in future years.

Attitudes of local people towards community based eco-tourism in the Sundarbans

Tourism especially nature based tourism is increasing throughout the world day by day. The Sundarbans Reserve Forest (SRF) in Bangladesh is a suitable place for developing tourism. The purpose of the study was to find out the attitudes of local people’s towards community based eco-tourism (CBET) in the Sundarbans. The study was carried out by a questionnaire survey with purposive selection based on diversity of occupation and sex in that area. A 5- point rating Likert scale was used to measures the local people’s attitude towards community based eco-tourism. Most of the people of the study are poorly based on income and depends on the forest as well as are fisherman among male and housewife among women. Natural beauty of this area, scope to watch wildlife, tourist security, house or eco-cottage quality, toilet and bathing facilities are favorable as well as communication and infrastructure facilities are an obstacle for developing CBET here. CBET will increase alternative job opportunities and income as well as it will reduce disturbance of forest and illegal harvesting according to the respondents. Forest Department is cooperative and tourists are more conscious now than before. People are now satisfied with CBET and keen to involve with this. This research is important for tourism policymakers in Bangladesh for their decisions.

Efficiency of Microfinance Banks’ Lending to Agriculture in Imo State, Nigeria

The study analysed the efficiency of microfinance banks’ lending to agriculture in Imo state, Nigeria. It analysed the cost of loan recovery in relation to the total loan recovered. Purposive sampling technique was used in the study. A list of microfinance banks was collected from the Owerri office of central bank of Nigeria which had 43 microfinance banks in the state. This formed the sampling frame from which 26 microfinance banks were purposively selected. The purposive selection was based on the microfinance banks that had the highest number of agricultural loan beneficiaries. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and efficiency of loan recovery model. The result revealed that the efficiency index of the microfinance banks ranged from 0 to 0.5 and a loan and a mean of 0.06. The result further showed that 96.1% of the banks were within the index of 0 and 0.2. This implies that for every one thousand naira recovered from beneficiaries of microfinance banks, they spent sixty naira from their interest in recovering the loan. The results further revealed that 61.54% of the banks use additional guarantors to recover their loans while unconventional methods of recovery such as the use of the police accounted for 38.46% of the recovery technique. It was therefore recommended and concluded that since these microfinance banks are efficient in their loan recovery, they should make micro loans available to potential borrowers who want to invest in agriculture.
