Depictions of God in the Drawings of German-Muslim Children

This empirical inquiry aimed to examine the qualitative differences of the ‘God’ concept of Turkish-German Sunni Muslim children living in Germany. In this study, non-anthropomorphic drawings did not increase gradually with age. Anthromoporphic God depictions seem to be ontologically moving away from people with age. In the present study, indirect God depictions occurred six times more than the direct God depictions. ‘Religious-cultural drawings’ were the most common in the sample. The girls drew more aesthetic drawings that expressed an emotional bond with God. Boys depicted God more rationally and pragmatically in regard to human life and the world.

THE STRUGGLE OF ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN BOLAANG MONGONDOW, NORTH SULAWESI (1905-1942)

This study was conducted due to the scholars’ lack of attention in revealing the conditions of education in Bolaang Mongondow in the early twentieth century. Using historical methods, as well as sociological, religious, and political approaches, this study finds that in the early twentieth century, indigenous people received education through the Sarekat Islam's Islamic Education and Teaching Center and the Zending educational institution founded by Christian missionaries. Zending education for indigenous Muslim communities was a form of knowledge discrimination because education was only specifically for Christian children, European descent, and aristocrats, while indigenous Muslim children were not allowed. In contrast, Islamic educational institutions were established to accommodate all Muslim children. As a result, although Islamic education institutions existed long after the Zending educational institutions, their educational institutions can compete. Zending's education ended with the fall of Dutch rule, while Islamic educational institutions continue to exist to date. The differences between the two religions in managing educational institutions lead this paper to the conclusion that religion is important not only in responding to and positioning oneself in power relations but also in empowering individuals and groups.

KUTTAB DALAM LINTASAN SEJARAH : DARI MASA PEMBINAAN HINGGA KEJAYAAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM (570 M-1258 M)

Kuttab is an Islamic educational institution that appeared at the beginning of Islamic civilization. Actually, its existence has been known since pre-Islamic time, but its development it has not gone well. In order to describe the kuttab in some time, in this article data were collected from various works of literature such as scientific articles, historical books, and research results. The data analysis used data analysis by Miles and Hubberman. In conclusion, this article shows that kuttab in the trajectory of Islamic history has undergone several reforms, both in terms of management, financing, and curriculum. From the curriculum content, there are several striking updates that we can observe in each period. Starting from the simplest teaching about reading and writing to Muslim children to the middle and high levels there are lessons on balaghah, nahwu, sharaf, mantiq, tafsir, fiqih, ushul fiqh, medicine, chemistry, zoology, and others. Regarding financing, some are voluntary, from land taxes and officially taken from the state budget

COMPATIBILITY OF THE JAPANESE EDUCATION PATTERN “KYOIKU MAMA” WITH ISLAMIC EDUCATION

<p>Japan as a developed country is certainly born from a superior education pattern so that it can outperform other countries. The "kyoiku mama" education pattern used by Japanese people has a major impact on the progress of the Japanese State. Mother as a child educator leads Japan to advances in science and technology. Not only Japan, Islamic education is also a mother as an early educator for Muslim children. This research is discussed using the literature study method that uses a variety of references in achieving the objectives of this study. The purpose of this study was to find a common thread between the "kyoiku mama" education pattern and the Islamic education pattern. The results obtained are three common threads, namely a) the degree of the mother is equally exalted, b) the mother is used as an example for her children, and c) the mother becomes a generation-producing agent that will change the environment, society and the country towards something better.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0790/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Exploring Flemish Muslim children’s experiences and negotiation of offline and online group privacy

In privacy research, much attention has been devoted to the online privacy practices of adolescents and college youth. Less is known about the privacy management of children and Muslim children in particular. In this study, we gave a voice to Muslim children in the northern Dutch-speaking region of Belgium, and how they negotiate information about their Muslim culture and identity using focus groups and interviews. The empirical studies clarify how different privacy management strategies are used to manage and hide Islam-related information. Overall, our results illustrate how besides managing boundaries around the self, Muslim children take into account the minority group they belong to as well as the representation of that particular group when sharing information. Building further on Petronio’s communication privacy management theory and Cohen’s perspective on privacy as critical and playful subjectivity, we argue to move beyond individual-centric conceptualizations to understand privacy of minority groups.

Implementasi Media Tajwid Putar dalam Pembelajaran Ilmu Tajwid

Studying Tajwid (science of reciting the Koran) is the fardlu kifāyah, but practicing it in reciting the Koran is fardlu ‘ain, so Tajwid has been taught to Muslim children since they learned to recite the Koran. However, it has been considered to be very demanding and problematic. The conventional methods used tend to be uninteresting and boring. For that reason, a learning media that makes teachers and students is in an interactive, effective and joyful learning process is needed. One of them is Tajwid Putar, a media created by Jeni Agustina Suyanto, a teacher of MAN 1 Lubuklinggau, South Sumatra. According to her, TPQ Ar-Risalah is the only educational institution in East Java that used Tajwid Putar. The objectives of this study were to describe the Tajwid learning process by implementing Tajwid Putar, the students’ interest in learning in Tajwid using Tajwid Putar, and the learning achievement in Tajwid using Tajwid Putar. This study used a qualitative approach. The data was collected by interview, observation and documents, which were then analyzed by using an interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The result suggested that the learning process of Tajwid which employed the Tajwid Putar has been effectively made students to be more active, interactive and festive, so that they quickly understood Tajwid and was able to recite the Koran well. Students’ enthusiasm was increased in learning Tajwid compared to the use of conventional methods. The students' learning achievement was also shown to be increased, which could be measured by the score of the test contained within the student report book
