Kompetensi guru PAI perspektif K. H. Hasyim Asy'ari dalam kitab Adabul 'Alim wal Muta'allim
No full textPenelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh pentingnya peran guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dalam menanamkan nilai-nilai agama, meningkatkan moral serta membentuk karakter peserta didik. Oleh karena itu perlu didalami kembali kriteria atau kompetensi yang harus dimiliki oleh guru PAI untuk mampu memenuhi tugasnya secara maksimal. Sebagai sarjana Muslim, ada baiknya untuk menjadikan para tokoh Muslim serta pemikiran mereka sebagai rujukan dan acuan. Terdapat satu tokoh Muslim yang menarik perhatian penulis karena salah satu karangannya membahas seputar pendidikan. Tokoh tersebut adalah K. H. Hasyim Asy’ari dengan karyanya kitab Adabul ‘Alim wal Muta’allim.
Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kompetensi guru menurut Ilmu Pendidikan Islam, mengetahui gambaran isi kitab Adabul ‘Alim wal Muta’allim dan mengetahui juga mengeksplorasi kompetensi guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) perspektif K.H. Hasyim Asy'ari dalam kitab Adabul 'Alim wal Muta'allim serta relevansinya dengan kompetensi guru PAI menurut aturan pemerintah dan Ilmu Pendidikan Islam.
Penelitian ini didasarkan pada pemikiran bahwa seorang guru diharuskan memiliki kompetensi. Kompetensi disini dimaknai sebagai seperangkat kemampuan baik pengetahuan, keterampilan atau perilaku yang dibutuhkan dan harus dikuasai guru untuk menyelesaikan tugasnya secara profesional.
Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode konten analisis (content analysis). Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik penelitian kepustakaan atau library research yang bersifat deskriptif analitis di mana data diperoleh melalui sumber literasi seperti buku, dokumen, artikel dan sebagainya.
Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kompetensi guru perspektif Ilmu Pendidikan Islam dapat disimpulkan meliputi; dewasa, sehat lahir dan batin, ahli (menguasai bidang ilmu dan pengajaran), profesional dalam mengajar, mampu memahami siswa dan menyayanginya, berkepribadian Muslim dan berakhlak terpuji. Kitab Adabul ‘Alim wal Muta’allim tersusun dari delapan bab, secara keseluruhan membahas etika seputar pembelajaran bagi guru dan murid. Tiga bab diantaranya fokus pada pembahasan etika guru. Kompetensi guru perspektif K. H. Hasyim Asy’ari dalam kitab Adabul ‘Alim wal Muta’allim secara umum terbagi kedalam tiga kompetensi yaitu kompetensi pribadi guru, kompetensi mengajar guru dan kompetensi interaksi dengan peserta didik. Setelah dianalisis, kompetensi guru PAI secara khusus dapat dikelompokkan kedalam enam kompetensi, yaitu kompetensi pedagogik dengan penekanan pada kemampuan guru dalam menyukseskan peserta didik, kompetensi kepribadian yang lebih menekankan pada pendekatan keagamaan (sufistik), kompetensi sosial dengan berperan aktif dalam masyarakat, kompetensi profesional yang menekankan kapabilitas seorang guru dibidangnya, kompetensi spiritual dengan konsep ikhlasnya dan kompetensi kepemimpinan dengan menjadi teladan demi melestarikan budaya Islami
Determination of K shell XRF parameters and K to L shell vacancy transfer probabilities of ferromagnetic 3d transition metals
No full textIn this study, K shell X-ray fluorescence cross-sections (sigma K alpha, sK beta and sigma K), K shell fluorescence yields (omega K) and K to L shell vacancy transfer probabilities (eta KL) of ferromagnetic 3d transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni) were investigated to understand how the relationship between ferromagnetism and these values changes with atomic number by using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique. The all obtained experimental and theoretical results were comparatively given as a function of the atomic number. It was clearly observed that all of the investigated parameters depend on the atomic number and the ferromagnetism state of the atom
Order parameter allows classification of planar graphs based on balanced fixed points in the Kuramoto model
No full textPhase balanced states are a highly underexplored class of solutions of the Kuramoto model and other coupled oscillator models on networks. So far, coupled oscillator research focused on phase synchronized solutions. Yet, global constraints on oscillators may forbid synchronized state, rendering phase balanced states as the relevant stable state. If, for example, oscillators are driving the contractions of a fluid filled volume, conservation of fluid volume constrains oscillators to balanced states as characterized by a vanishing Kuramoto order parameter. It has previously been shown that stable, balanced patterns in the Kuramoto model exist on circulant graphs. However, which noncirculant graphs first of all allow for balanced states and what characterizes the balanced states is unknown. Here, we derive rules of how to build noncirculant, planar graphs allowing for balanced states from the simple cycle graph by adding loops or edges to it. We thereby identify different classes of small planar networks allowing for balanced states. Investigating the balanced states’ characteristics, we find that the variance in basin stability scales linearly with the size of the graph for these networks. We introduce the balancing ratio as an order parameter based on the basin stability approach to classify balanced states on networks and evaluate it analytically for a subset of the network classes. Our results offer an analytical description of noncirculant graphs supporting stable, balanced states and may thereby help to understand the topological requirements on oscillator networks under global constraints
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Network topology enables efficient response to environment in Physarum polycephalum
No full textThe network-shaped body plan distinguishes the unicellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum in body architecture from other unicellular organisms. Yet, network-shaped body plans dominate branches of multi-cellular life such as in fungi. What survival advantage does a network structure provide when facing a dynamic environment with adverse conditions? Here, we probe how network topology impacts P. polycephalum's avoidance response to an adverse blue light. We stimulate either an elongated, I-shaped amoeboid or a Y-shaped networked specimen and subsequently quantify the evacuation process of the light-exposed body part. The result shows that Y-shaped specimen complete the avoidance retraction in a comparable time frame, even slightly faster than I-shaped organisms, yet, at a lower almost negligible increase in migration velocity. Contraction amplitude driving mass motion is further only locally increased in Y-shaped specimen compared to I-shaped-providing further evidence that Y-shaped's avoidance reaction is energetically more efficient than in I-shaped amoeboid organisms. The difference in the retraction behaviour suggests that the complexity of network topology provides a key advantage when encountering adverse environments. Our findings could lead to a better understanding of the transition from unicellular to multicellularity
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Expanding “Communities and Collections” in the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) to benefit the K-State Community and Beyond
No full textKansas State University has used its institutional repository, the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx), to store and share its first year experience program, K-State First, and notably its common reading program, K-State First Book. We have done so with the aim that the accessibility and preservation of these documents ensures program stability, promotes engagement with first year programming, and provides the ability to foster growth,educational opportunities, and community building outside of K-State. Moving away from research concentrated repositories and taking a more holistic approach to scholarship, especially when realizing the pedagogical significance of collaborative campus programming, institutions can showcase, discover, preserve, and grow programs that shape campus communities and engagement.
This session will provide an overview of K-REx and spotlight the digital archive of the university’s first year experience program and common reading program, K-State First Book. We will discuss the benefits and challenges to expanding the purview of your repositories. We talkthrough the types of materials we decide to host in our repository and why we share what we do. We will also provide recommendations on new ways to evaluate what belongs in institutional repositories and how this diversity can benefit your program, your institution, the community, and others
