Impact of Web technologies on student-lecturer expert power relationship
Full text linkExpert power is “the power that comes from having knowledge and expertise in a particular area” (Nazarko, 2004). In the history of the development of higher education, the relationship between the lecturer and the students has changed because of many different factors. Before the internet and web revolution, the lecturer used to be the main information source for his/her students. The web as a modern source of knowledge is now used universally and this spreading trend might affect the relationship between the lecturer and his students. Understanding the impact of this change appears to be important as it would be employed in improving teaching techniques. In this area, many studies have focused on the impact of using the internet and web applications on students and lecturers. These studies have widely investigated this impact on student’s achievements, attitude and also have shown how the role and performance of the faculty have changed. This paper aims to investigate the impact of using web resources as a source of knowledge on the student-lecturer relationship from students’ perspectives. The investigation focuses on how students’ knowledge gained from using websites has impacted on the relationship with their lecturer as a knowledgeable person which theoretically means Expert power. 1661 students from 30 universities/ educational institutions participated in this research
Hermeneutika Al-Qur’an Kontekstual: Metode Menafsirkan Al-Qur’an Abdullah Saeed
Full text linkQuranic exegesis has a special place in the development of Islamic intellectual tradition and civilization at large. As the main source of Islamic teaching, for centuries Muslims have attempted to understand the various meanings of the Qur’an in order to be in line with the current needs of the society through the process of contextualization. In this article, the author presents and explains the way in which Abdullah Saeed, a professor in Islamic studies from the the University of Melbourne, Australia, contextualize the meaning of the Quran. In particular, this article analyzes some methodological aspects proposed by Saeed in the qontextualization of the Qur’an: 1) identifying the world of the text; 2) analyzing text critically; 3) connecting the text to the early Islamic community as the first receivers; and 4) relating the text to the current needs of society. Keywords: Quranic exegesis, Abdullah Saeed, tafsir methodology, contextualization
Bunga bank konvensional menurut pandangan Abdullah Saeed
Full text linkBunga adalah salah satu pendapatan yang dihasilkan oleh perbankan konvensinal. Dalam praktiknya, yang menggunakan sistem bunga ini bukan hanya di bank saja, tetapi di lembaga keuangan non bank pun juga ada yang menggunakan sistem bunga sebagai sumber pendapatan bisnisnya. Untuk menjelaskan mengenai bunga bank pada penelitian ini, penulis merujuk pada pemikiran Abdullah Saeed. Saeed berpandangan bahwa bunga bank konvensional tidaklah haram, karena tidak mengandung unsur-unsur yang merupakan tujuan utama pelarangan riba.
Rumusan Masalah: Pertama, Bagaimana bunga bank menurut Abdullah Saeed? Kedua, Bgaimana relevansinya dalam dunia perbankan di Indonesia? Jenis penilitian yang digunakan adalah kepustakaan (library research) yaitu mengumpulkan data atau karya ilmiah yang bertujuan dengan objek penelitian atau pengumpulan data yang bersifat kepustakaan, baik berupa buku, catatan, maupun laporan hasil penelitian dari penelitian terdahulu.
Hasil penelitian ini: pertama, Abdullah Saeed memandang bahwa pinjaman dengan sistem bunga tidak menyebabkan ketidakadilan, maka pinjaman tersebut dibolehkan. Saeed melihat bahwa riba di zaman jahiliyah berbeda dengan mekanisme sistem bunga dalam perbankan konvensional saat ini, apalagi sampai pada terjadinya penindasan dan penganiyaan yang dilakukan oleh kreditur kepada debitur. Kedua, Dilihat dari relevansi sosial ekonomi, budaya ekonomi dan ekonomi serta politik ekonomi mengenai bunga bank jika dihubungkan dengan pemikiran Abdullah Saeed di Indonesia saat ini yaitu sangatlah berkaitan. Karena bunga bank memiliki dampak positif bagi bank konvensional maupun para nasabah yang sudah menanamkan modalnya. Dari sistem bunga ini, tidak hanya salah satu pihak saja yang diuntungkan, tetapi kedua belah pihak. Selain itu, transaksi pinjam meminjam dalam sistem perbankan juga dilakukan secara jelas, terbuka dan dilindungi oleh undang-undang. Jadi, kegiatan perbankan di Indonesia sekarang ini sangatlah berkaitan sekali dengan pemikiran Abdullah Saeed tersebut, dan tidak ada pihak yang dirugikan dari sistem bunga bank ini.
ABSTRACT
Interest is one of the incomes that generated by conventional bank. In practice, those who use this interest system are not only banks, but also non-bank financial that use the interest system as a source of their business income. In this study, the author refers to the thoughts of Abdullah Saeed. Saeed thinks that conventional bank interest is not unlawful, because it does not contain elements which are the main purpose of prohibiting usury.
The problem of this study: first, What is the bank's interest according to Abdullah Saeed? Second, What the relevant among the interest and Indonesian banking? The type of research used is library research which is collecting data or scientific work aimed at the object of research or collection of library-based data, both in the form of books, notes and research reports from previous research.
The results of this study: first, Abdullah Saeed views that loans with an interest system do not cause inequity, it is permitted. Saeed sees that usury in the jahiliyah era was different from the current system of conventional banking's interest, moreover it leads to the persecution and abuse by creditors to the debtor. Second, Seeing from the relevance of socio-economic, cultural-economic and political-economic regarding to bank interest if it linked to Abdullah Saeed's thinking in Indonesia today, it is very relevant. Because bank interest has a positive impact on conventional banks its elf and the customers who have invested their capital. From this system, both parties get the benefits. In addition, lending and borrowing transactions in banking system are also carried out clearly, openly and protected by law. So, Indonesian banking activities are very closely related to Abdullah Saeed's thinking and no party is harmed from this bank's interest system
THE CONCEPTS OF CONTEXTUAL INTERPRETATION OF THE QUR’AN ABDULLAH SAEED
Full text linkAlong with the demands of modern and contemporary times, Muslim thinkers and scientists are starting to try, to respond, and find solutions to the crisis of how religious traditions are still able to relate to modernity and changing times in general. This article discusses one of the approaches used by contemporary scholars in understanding the Qur’an, one of whom is Abdullah Saeed, a professor of Islamic studies in Australia, who initiated the method of contextualizing the Qur’an. In particular, the author tries to explain methodological aspects from Abdullah Saeed’s point of view in contextualizing the Qur'an. To be able to find answers to these problems, the author tries to collect data from various sources, both primary sources, namely from Abdullah Saeed’s writings, and secondary sources, namely writings related to the main focus. To conclude, the writer tries to analyze the data that has been collected using the theory of character studies by analyzing the environment around the characters and the arguments that are built. The author concludes that the contextual interpretation initiated by Abdullah Saeed is a method of interpreting the text of the verses of the Qur’an which is related to the context of life and conditions society to answer various problems experienced by contemporary society today. Apart from that, in his thinking, Abdullah Saeed has the advantage of the double movement method initiated by Fazlur Rahman, namely he can provide systematic and operational steps in contextualizing the Qur’an.Seiring dengan adanya tuntutan zaman modern dan kontemporer saat ini, para pemikir dan ilmuan Muslim mulai berusaha memberikan respon dan mencari solusi terhadap krisis bagaimana tradisi-tradisi agama tetap mampu berhubungan dengan modernitas dan perubahan zaman secara umum. Artikel ini membahas tentang salah satu pendekatan yang digunakan beberapa ulama kontemporer dalam memahami Al-Qur’an, salah satunya adalah Abdullah Saeed seorang guru besar bidang studi Islam di Australia, yang menggagas metode kontekstualisasi Al-Qur’an. Secara khusus penulis berusaha memaparkan aspek-aspek metodologis dari pandangan Abdullah Saeed dalam melakukan kontekstualisasi Al-Qur’an. Untuk dapat menemukan jawaban dari permasalahan tersebut, penulis berusaha megumpulkan data-data dari berbagai sumber, baik dari sumber primer yakni dari tulisan-tulisan Abdullah Saeed maupun dari sumber sekunder yakni tulisan-tulisan yang berkaitan dengan fokus utama. Guna mendapat kesimpulan, penulis berusaha menganalisis data-data yang telah terkumpul menggunakan teori studi tokoh dengan menganalisa lingkungan sekitar tokoh serta argumentasi-argumentasi yang dibangun. Penulis berkesimpulan bahwa penafsiran kontekstual yang digagas Abdullah Saeed merupakan metode interpretasi teks ayat Al-Quran yang dikaitakan dengan konteks kehidupan dan kondisi masyarakat guna menjawab berbagai persoalan yang dialami masyarakat kontemporer saat ini. Selain itu, dalam pemikirannya Abdullah Saeed memiliki keunggulan dari metode double movement yang digagas oleh Fazlur Rahman, yakni ia mampu memberi sistematika dan langkah-langkah operasional dalam melakukan kontektualisasi Al-Qur’an
PARADIGMA HUKUM ISLAM TEOANTROPOSENTRIS: TELAAH PARADIGMATIS PEMIKIRAN FAZLUR RAHMAN DAN ABDULLAH SAEED
Full text linkPenelitian ini ingin melihat bagaimana paradigma dan teori penafsiran hukum Fazlur Rahman dan Abdullah Saeed. Teori penafsiran Rahman (double movement) dan Saeed (teori kontekstual), penulis hipotesakan mempunyai sandaran paradigmatis yang mapan. Dalam konteks inilah, tulisan ini juga ingin menelisik bagaimana relasi paradigma dan teori penafsiran hukum mereka berdua. Hal ini penting karena telah terjadi krisis paradigmatis dalam studi hukum Islam, yakni terpisahnya wacana teologi sebagai basis paradigmatis hukum dengan wacana hukum Islam itu sendiri. Tulisan ini berbentuk kajian pustaka terhadap pemikiran Rahman dan Saeed. Sebagai alat analisis, penulis memakai teori paradigma sebagaimana digagas oleh Thomas Kuhn dan yang dikembangkan oleh pemikir lain semisal Kuntowijoyo dan Hans Kung. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan, pertama, paradigma Rahman dan Saeed berporos pada visi teologis yang telah bergeser dari teosentris atau antroposentris ke teoantroposentris. Pergeseran visi teologis tersebut adalah dari keimanan tauhidi yang abstrak ke yang fungsional, dari keadilan formal ke keadilan yang substantif, dari peran akal sebagai the logic of justivication and repetition ke the logic of discovery, dari keterbelengguan manusia (fatalisme) ke kebebasan (freedom). Kedua, konsisten dengan paradigma di atas, Rahman dan Saeed merumuskan teori double movement (gerakan ganda) dan teori kontekstual. Teori kontekstual Saeed adalah pengembangan lebih lanjut dari teori gerakan ganda Rahman. Saeed memperjelas bentuk teori gerakan ganda dan merumuskan hirarki nilai. karena itu penulis mensintesakan teori keduanya sebagai penalaran reflektif hukum berbasis nilai maqa>s}id. [This study wants to see how the paradigm and the theory of law interpretation of Fazlur Rahman and Abdullah Saeed. The theory of Rahman (double movement) and Saeed's interpretation (contextual theory), the hypothesis writer has an established paradigmatic backrest. In this context, this paper also wants to explore how the relations of paradigms and the theory of legal interpretation both of them. This is important because there has been a paradigmatic crisis in the study of Islamic law, namely the separation of theological discourse as a paradigmatic basis of law with the discourse of Islamic law it self. This paper takes the form of a literature study of the thoughts of Rahman and Saeed. As an analysis tool, the author uses paradigm theory as initiated by Thomas Kuhn and developed by other thinkers such as Kuntowijoyo and Hans Kung. This paper concludes, first, that the paradigm of Rahman and Saeed pivots on the theological vision that has shifted from theocentric or anthropocentric to theoanthropocentric. The theological vision shift is from the tauhidi faith which is abstract to the functional, from formal justice to substantive justice, from the role of reason as the logic of justification and repetition to the logic of discovery, from human reluctance (fatalism) to freedom. Second, consistent with the paradigm above, Rahman and Saeed formulated the theory of double movement and contextual theory. Saeed's contextual theory is a further development of Rahman's double movement theory. Saeed clarified the form of double movement theory and formulated a value hierarchy. Therefore the author synthesizes the second theory as a value-based legal reflective reasoning]

KONSEP HIERARKI NILAI DI DALAM AL-QUR’AN MENURUT ABDULLAH SAEED (SEBUAH KAJIAN HERMENEUTIKA FILOSOFIS HANS-GEORG GADAMER)
Full text linkThe concept of the Hierarchy of Values is said to be one of the original findings of
Abdullah Saeed, who is a thinker in the field of Al-Qur'an exegesis who continues
the thoughts of contextual interpretation initiated by his predecessors, such as Nasr
Hamid Abu Zayd, Fazlur Rahman and other figures. Thus, although the concept of
the Hierarchy of Values is considered as an original finding of Abdullah Saeed, the
author considers that there is a contribution to the thoughts of his predecessors in
building this idea. To see this in detail, the author tries to research it using the
Philosophical Hermeneutics theory initiated by Hans-Georg Gadamer, which in
this case the author uses the theory of Historically Effected Consciousness and
Fusion of Horizons theory (assimilation/merging of horizons), specifically to see
the influence of history and knowledge horizon and text horizon in shaping the idea
of this Hierarchy of Values concept. The concept of the Hierarchy of Values itself
is an important part of Abdullah Saeed's exchange idea which he calls the
Contextual Approach in Al-Qur'an Interpretation. In this concept Abdullah Saeed
compiled five levels of ethico-legal verses which are considered important, and to
see which verses are universal and which are bound to context. The five levels of
Valuess are: (1) Obligatory Values, (2) Fundamental Values, (3) Protectional
Values, (4) Implementational Values, (5) Instructional Valuess. The initial three
levels in this Values level are considered by Saeed to be universal levels of the
verses, while the last two levels are closely related to context. So that the last two
Values are the most possible to be interpreted contextually and differently from the
previous period. In the analysis of Philosophical Hermeneutics that the author uses,
at least the context of Saeed's life, which is mostly spent in Australia, is an important
part of shaping his thinking. Then, in building this idea, Abdullah Saeed himself
said that at least he used 3 things in concocting the concept of the Hierarchy of
Values: First, the 'proto-contextualist' which is in the exegesis of 'Umar bin
Khattab; Second, the thoughts of the initiators of the maqashid syari'ah concept;
Third, the Values-based approach to interpretation initiated by Fazlur Rahman.
These three things are combined with the concept of 'right action' in the Qur'an
which Saeed considers the essence of the verses of ethico-legal. From that meeting,
the concept of the Hierarchy of Values finally emerged

Application of the chi(2) principle and unbiased predictive risk estimator for determining the regularization parameter in 3-D focusing gravity inversion
Full text linkabstract: The χ[superscript 2] principle and the unbiased predictive risk estimator are used to determine optimal regularization parameters in the context of 3-D focusing gravity inversion with the minimum support stabilizer. At each iteration of the focusing inversion the minimum support stabilizer is determined and then the fidelity term is updated using the standard form transformation. Solution of the resulting Tikhonov functional is found efficiently using the singular value decomposition of the transformed model matrix, which also provides for efficient determination of the updated regularization parameter each step. Experimental 3-D simulations using synthetic data of a dipping dike and a cube anomaly demonstrate that both parameter estimation techniques outperform the Morozov discrepancy principle for determining the regularization parameter. Smaller relative errors of the reconstructed models are obtained with fewer iterations. Data acquired over the Gotvand dam site in the south-west of Iran are used to validate use of the methods for inversion of practical data and provide good estimates of anomalous structures within the subsurface.This is a pre-copy-editing, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in GEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL following peer review.

KEBEBASAN PINDAH AGAMA DALAM HAM DAN HUKUM ISLAM: STUDI PEMIKIRAN ABDULLAH SAEED (RELEVANSI BAGI PEMBAHARUAN HUKUM PERDATA DI INDONESIA)
Full text linkApostasy which is part of freedom of religion is still quite controversial in
the perspective of Islamic law and Indonesian legislation. However, there is an
opinion from Abdullah Saeed who is trying to make compatibility between
Islamic law and human rights regarding the status of apostasy. From this
background, this research will question two things: namely how Abdullah Saeed
thinks about the compatibility between human rights and Islamic law regarding
freedom of religious conversion and the relevance of Abdullah Saeed's thoughts
about freedom of changing religion for legislation in Indonesia.
This type of research is library research using a qualitative-normative
approach. The used method of analyzing data is a descriptive analytic one. In the
method of data collection, the author uses the method of observation, literature
study, and documentation.
The results of this study show that Abdullah Saeed points out that the
principles raised by human rights and Islamic law have a thread that is truly
compatible, namely the right to freedom of choice of one's beliefs based on one's
conscience and the right to life. No one can impose the will of others, including
the state. Likewise, in Islamic law, there should be no compulsion in embracing
religion, so that the perpetrators of changing religions should not get sanctions in
the world. That is why it is important that the relevance of Abdullah Saeed's
thoughts is to improve several private laws and regulations in Indonesia that seem
discriminatory against people who change their religions
