Teaching-learning Methods and Feedback Used in Effective Teaching
Full text linkFeedback has been recognized as a tool to enhance the teaching-learning process. Both teachers and students may benefit from relevant information which highlights strengths and achievements as well as areas for improvement. Constructive feedback should be systematic. Feedback for teaching and learning should be relevant, immediate, factual, helpful, confidential, respectful, tailored and encouraging if it is going to be effectively used to achieve successful teaching and learning. Furthermore, input from instructors themselves, students and peers should be sought in order to provide constructive feedback. A review of related literature reveals that feedback has emerged as a means to facilitate the learning process as well as teaching performance [1,2,3]. Additionally, some argue that “students of teachers who emphasize teaching behaviors such as praise and encouragement tend to learn more than students of teachers who emphasize criticism and punishment” [4] and that teacher who “check students′ progress regularly and adjust instruction accordingly” are using effective teaching strategies. Similarly, it has been reported that teachers are interested in feedback which provides recognition of effective teaching as well as identifies areas of need in order to achieve student success [5]. Consequently, this paper highlighted the faculty development process for effective teaching-learning; Characteristics of effective learning activities; Strength and weakness of commonly used methodologies in class teaching. Moreover, enhance the teaching effectiveness, techniques of evaluation the teaching, and the requirements of good-teaching are discussed and some suggestions are presented

Nationalism in the Muslim World and the Identity Crisis: A Sociological Perspective
Full text linkNationalism is a core phenomenon in the modern political world on which the state is established and functioned, at least most of the stakeholders argued. In the contemporary Muslim world, the sociopolitical concept comes to the Muslim youths as the most influential as well as vague ideological term in the political sphere. Sometime they confused with explaining the idea especially, comparing with Islamic interpretation of nationhood and nationality. This article investigates the prevailing condition of the explanation about the concept in the Muslim world and makes an effort to analyze it with the sociopolitical ground reality in the globally communicated growing young generation. In addition to this it undertakes an effort to clarify ambiguous understanding about the concept in Islam, sometimes which placed to encounter Islam as global sociopolitical phenomena. It is entirely an academic analysis of the concept considering current global perspective of the Muslim community
Growth of Islamic Banking in Bangladesh Recent Trends in the Global Context
Full text linkEvents of the last few years have forcefully shown the Muslim world\u27s resentment of the West\u27s power, influence and encroachment on its way of life. That power is nowhere more evident than in the finance arena, where Western banks and financial markets dominate but contradict strikingly with traditional Islamic beliefs. Over the past 25 years, however, a nonviolent challenge to that dominance has been building. The change has come from a caravan of Islamic financial institutions and Islamic subsidiaries of major international banks that have steadily expanded their operations. Islamic banking has gone from almost nothing to an industry with assets of hundreds of billions of dollars and half of the consumer market and 10% of the assets under management in countries such as Malaysia. Yet, it has not yet emerged as a truly revolutionary force in the financial world. Whether it can make that leap is a crucial question for every Islamic banker. An attempt has therefore been made in this paper to make an overview on the growth of Islamic banking in Bangladesh

Social Justice and Human Development
No full textAs the title suggests, Professor Noor‟s latest book contains some invigorating and exhaustive discussions on selected salient dimensions of Social Justice and Human Development, such as the theoretical underpinnings of societal justice and governance, the process of public administration from an Islamic perspective, the synthesis between education and human development, and the practice and reforms of the local government systems. It sets out some interesting agenda for reforming and reorganizing structure and processes of governance in the two broad and crucial areas of „social justice‟ and „rural development‟. Despite repeated attempts and the growing emphasis, ensuring social justice and good governance has, thus far, proved to be one of the most elusive goals for Bangladesh public administration and society. Professor Noor‟s long pursuit in search of the ways and means of developing an ethical, morally-laden, people-oriented, and just public administration and governance system for the country has produced a series of research articles; and the current volume represents his untiring zeal and commitment for the search

Integration of Knowledge in Theory and Practice: The Contribution of Bediuzzaman Said Nuri
Full text linkIntegration of knowledge in Islam is an intellectual and epistemological challenge. Indeed the first revelation of the Qur‟an is “to read and write”1 and the Prophet Muhammad continued its process until the revelation of the whole Qur‟an was completed. Muslim scholars and thinkers espoused to develop man‟s intellectual efforts in the various ages.2 The integration process of knowledge was revived in the twentieth century by several scholars and thinkers, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1877-1960) being one of them. This approach argues that without integration of knowledge between religious sciences and modern sciences in accordance with the need of time, progress and development in the Muslim world is not possible. Such an approach is particularly compelling because it can eschew the accusation that Western values are being imposed upon Islam. Muslim scholars who proposed the process of integration have faced resistance from traditionalists. The accusation is that they are not loyal to Islam and deny its heritage
