Winckelmann's Dynamic Harmony Between Nature and Reason
Get PDFFor Winckelmann, harmony is one of the most important characteristics of the essence of beauty, which is manifested in the unity of form and natural transition. On the part of the viewer, harmony triggers a pleasant emotional response as an external manifestation of the harmonious presentation of order. Although the flaws and exaggerations of human nature hinder harmony, it is precisely because of these that a higher level of harmony is achieved. This paper attempts to show how a dynamic process can be realised in a static description of harmony, so that the viewer can achieve a deeper aesthetic experience, based on an analysis of the dynamic harmony implied in the text. Therefore, this paper considers in depth the connection between harmony and emotion, and explores how the beauty of harmony is deeply integrated with emotional experience in a dynamic sense. Finally, through the perspective of the evolution of the synergy and beauty between nature and reason, it is discussed in what sense Winckelmann's interpretation of ancient Greek art expresses dynamic harmony

Integrating Ethnomathematics in Learning to Reduce Students' Cognitive Load
Get PDFThis study aims to describe the implementation of ethnomathematics-based learning in reducing students' cognitive load on the topic of similarity and congruence. Conducted through classroom action research involving ninth-grade students in a junior high school in Yogyakarta, the study consisted of two cycles. Each cycle included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The learning integrated cultural elements from local heritage sites—Ratu Boko Temple for similarity and Vredeburg Fort Museum for congruence—to provide meaningful and contextual learning experiences. Data were collected through observations, tests, and cognitive load questionnaires. The results showed a significant decrease in students’ cognitive load, from an average score of 7.5 (difficult) in the pre-cycle to 6.0 (moderate) in the first cycle and 2.6 (easy) in the second cycle. These findings indicate that learning based on ethnomathematics not only helps in reducing cognitive load but also enhances student engagement and conceptual understanding. The approach aligns with Cognitive Load Theory by minimizing extraneous load and promoting germane load, making mathematical learning more accessible and relevant to students’ cultural backgrounds

The Concept of Civil Religion in Textbooks Pancasila and Civic Education at High School Level
Get PDFCivil religion is a concept that originally emerged in the 17th century and was coined by a French scientist named Jean Jaques Rousseau in his book entitled the social contract. This is what inspired Robert N. Bellah to write the concept of civil religion, and then the concepts put forward by Bellah became the main reference for sociologists of religion to describe the concept of civil religion in their respective countries. In Indonesia itself, Pancasila is considered a civil religion in Indonesia. This comes from the writings of Yudi Latif who declared Pancasila to be a civil religion. So that Pancasila becomes an umbrella for the diversity of religions that exist in Indonesia. Before implementing the values of Pancasila as a civil religion, it is very important that the contents of this civil religion be taught to students at the formal school level, especially at the high school level. This article will look for the contents of the concept of civil religion in the Pancasila and citizenship education textbooks at the high school level. The method used in this research is content analysis by borrowing a concept from Robert N Bellah. The results of this research are that the concept of civil religion is most often found in class 11 students' textbooks, out of 7 chapters, there is only 1 chapter where the concept of civil religion is not found
The Paradigm of Art Education and Assumptions About the Application of Thomas Aquinas' Aesthetic Theory in Indonesia
Get PDFThe general public's view or paradigm of arts education as a means to achieve commercialism and produce profit-oriented artists is not entirely wrong. However, in reality, arts education, in both formal and informal learning processes, greatly helps students to not only develop their skills but also cultivate their senses. The formation and cultivation of skills and sensibilities in arts education should also be supported by a clear concept of what materials are important and of high quality to be provided to students. The application of Thomas Aquinas' aesthetic theory, which includes: 1) wholeness or perfection, 2) balance or harmony, and 3) brilliance or clarity, is expected to change how art education should shape quality human beings and artists, and then help change the negative paradigm of the general public about art education in Indonesia

Management of At-Tartil Training of Trainers for Qur’an Tutors: A Case Study at BMQ At-Tartil, Sidoarjo
Get PDFThis article examines the management of the At-Tartil Training of Trainers (ToT) program at the Qur’an Literacy Foundation (BMQ At-Tartil) in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, with particular attention to its contribution in enhancing the professional competence of Qur’an tutors. Qur’an education plays a pivotal role in preserving the intellectual and spiritual foundations of Islamic civilization; however, the quality and distribution of Qur’an tutors remain uneven. The At-Tartil method, rooted in the Qur’anic injunction of tartīl (Qur’an, Surah al-Muzzammil: 4), emphasizes accurate recitation, pedagogical discipline, and spiritual engagement, making it a corrective alternative to contemporary pragmatic teaching models. This study employs a qualitative case study approach, drawing on interviews, observations, and institutional documents. Findings reveal that the management of ToT at BMQ At-Tartil comprises systematic stages of planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up, with sustainability ensured through mentoring and supervision. The research highlights the novelty of the 9T framework—Tartīl, Tafaqquh, Tafkīr, Tadallul, Tadalluj, Tadbīr, Tashjīr, Tawarruq, and Tanẓīm—which integrates technical, managerial, and spiritual dimensions of tutor professionalism. The study contributes a holistic model for Qur’an tutor development, offering both theoretical insights and practical implications for Islamic education institutions seeking to strengthen Qur’an pedagogy and professional standards
Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills Through Instructional Strategies: A Systematic Review
Get PDFThe integration of critical thinking skills in instructional strategies often presents numerous challenges. Nevertheless, instructional methods are among the most effective ways to teach students how to think critically. However, due to limited literature on the subject, this topic has not been explored extensively. This research paper takes a closer look at prior studies on the integration of instructional methods that improve students' critical thinking skills. It also examines the potential outcomes of the analysed instructional methods and their future applications. This is a systematic literature review-based research, adopting the PICO framework to analyse relevant studies from 2013 to 2023. The results indicate that questioning, Socratic questioning, debate, and collaborative learning have all been utilized to improve students' critical thinking skills. Nonetheless, students encounter difficulties following the lesson due to their lack of language proficiency and instruction that is based on lower-order thinking skills. It is therefore crucial to consider students' backgrounds and learning preferences when exploring and implementing appropriate critical thinking-based instructional methods. The recommendations are not exclusive to themselves, but rather, can be applicable to each other
