PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS PRAKTIKUM PADA KONSEP INVERTEBRATA UNTUK MENGEMBANGKAN KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS DAN SIKAP ILMIAH SISWA
Konsep Invertebrata masih menjadi materi yang sulit untuk dipahami siswa, karena pembelajaran yang selama ini diterapkan guru masih menggunakan metode ceramah, sehingga kurang melatih kemampuan berpikir kritis dan menanamkan sikap ilmiah siswa. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan sikap ilmiah siswa dalam pembelajaran berbasis praktikum pada konsep Invertebrata. Penelitian menggunakan metode quasi eksperimen dengan Nonequivalent Control-Group Design yang melibatkan 64 siswa SMA kelas X semester II, yang terdiri atas 32 siswa kelas eksperimen dan 32 siswa kelas kontrol pada salah satu SMA swasta di kota Cimahi Bandung. Data penelitian dijaring dengan menggunakan instrument tes kemampuan berpikir kritis berbentuk pilihan ganda beralasan dan tes sikap ilmiah berbentuk skala Likert. Selain itu, untuk memperoleh data tambahan digunakan angket tanggapan siswa, lembar observasi, dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berpikir kritis (KBK) dan sikap ilmiah siswa yang menggunakan pembelajaran berbasis praktikum berbeda signifikan dengan siswa yang belajar secara konvensional. Hasil tersebut dibuktikan dengan N-gain KBK kelas eksperimen 0,61 (kategori tinggi), sedangkan N-gain KBK kelas kontrol 0,34 (kategori rendah). Begitu juga dengan N-gain sikap ilmiah siswa kelas eksperimen 0,33 (kategori rendah), sedangkan N-gain sikap ilmiah siswa kelas kontrol 0,13 (kategori sangat rendah). Berdasarkan angket tanggapan siswa disimpulkan bahwa siswa menyukai pembelajaran berbasis praktikum, karena dapat mempermudah dalam memahami materi pelajaran, mengajak siswa untuk belajar aktif, menerapkan sikap ilmiah, membangun kerjasama antar siswa dan melatih kemampuan berpikir kritis. Hasil analisis lembar observasi menunjukkan aktifitas dan sikap siswa yang positif terhadap kegiatan praktikum. Hasil wawancara dengan guru juga menunjukkan tanggapan positif terhadap pembelajaran berbasis praktikum. Dengan demikian pembelajaran berbasis praktikum berdampak positif dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan sikap ilmiah siswa
Modern Arabic literary biography : a study of character portrayal in the works of Egyptian biographers of the first half of the twentieth century, with special reference to literary biography
In Chapter one, I presented a comparative definition of the meaning of Sirah (PI.Siyar), Tarjamah (Pl. Tarajim), Manaqib, Tabaqat and Maghazi as they were understood in antiquity. I also showed how the meaning of Sirah in modern times has only narrowly developed. Although the method of biographical writing continuously developed in Europe, it hardly progressed in Modem Arabic Literature. The only exception was seen in the writings by the pioneers of enlightenment in Egypt at the beginning of the twentieth century. This change of direction relied on borrowing European methodology in biographical writing.
In chapter two, I reviewed the early attempts at writing biographies in the nineteenth century by Abd al Rahman al- Jabarti and Ali Mubarak. Although both were the first
pioneers in this respect, yet they followed the footpath of classical approach above all that of al-Maqarizi from whom -Ali Mubarak derived inspiration in his book Al-Khitat al-Tawfiqiyyah.
In chapter three, I studied the twentieth century, starting with traditional biography writers who could not employ European methodologies and whose writings oscillated between biographical notes and biographical sketches; or whose texts were more of a literary study than a biography proper.
In chapters four to nine, I selected the most renowned, productive writers who best represented methodologies of biography writing. Perhaps certain writers have not
been mentioned in this period of study. This is not out of negligence but simply because their texts were totally out of reach, or their writings did not exhibit the
required literary criteria.
All methodologies representing the theory of biography writing in Egypt have been analysed in these chapters. All, in fact, form a digestion or assimilation of French,English and German schools. In Egypt, Taha Husayn is considered the chairman of the French school, al-Mazini and al-Aqqad of the English/German schools, al-Nuwaihi of the psychoanalytical/anatomical school and Sidqi who employed both. By contrast, al Iryan was the trailblazer of the distinguished biographical novel.
In these chapters, I tried to lay out the general outlines these writers have produced in the production of biographical texts, and how these attempts were a successful step on the road of presenting literary biographies characterized by high world standards.
Chapter ten may well seem traditional, but it is important to give a comparative outlook on the views of biography writers themselves when they study and analyse
the same character.
Among the characters studied ,I selected Bashsliar, Abu Nuwas, Ibn al-Run-i, al-Mutanabbi and al-Maarri. These are outstanding landmarks in the history of Arab verse and the subject of a multitude of studies as well. Modern biographers took these figures as a test field for the deployment and employment of biographical methodologies. I selected these examples to provide comparisons and explain how far these biographies were successful in producing a biography or a profile of those classical poets.
The conclusion and the bibliographical list arrived at the end of research.
I wish, however, to clarify one important point here. It seems that I could not fix the year 1950 as the temporal parameter of my research but took some textswhich were
published shortly beyond that point. The reason for this obvious extension was either to give additional useful details or simply because chapters of such texts had already
been published prior to that year and were known to the readership.
At times I would satisfy myself with analysing the part rather than the whole. This again was meant to eschew repetition or was due to the fact that the book in question
was not available
Correcting and stylistic researching of the mystical treatise "Wesal Ahmadi" or "Awakher Hayat Mujaddid Alf Sani"
The treatise "Wesal Ahmadi" or "Awakher Hayat Mujaddid Alf Sani" is actually a supplement to a treatise called "Zubdat al-Maqamat" or "Barakat al-Ahmadiyya Baqiyeh", which is about the life, works, spirits, and facts of Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi, nicknamed Imam Rabbani and Mujaddid Alf Sani and some of his caliphs and descendants were written. The author of this treatise is Badr al-Din Sirhindi, a famous Sufi and biographer of the Naqshbandi sect in the 11th century. Badr al-Din wrote this short and concise treatise following the completion of the book "Zubdat al-Maqamat" by Khwaja Muhammad Hashim Keshmi who did not succeed in finishing this book and convey the events and incidents of the last days of Sheikh Ahmad's life. The treatise "Wesal Ahmadi" contains reliable, irreplaceable, and valuable information from the last days the life of Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi, which is narrated directly and immediately and is necessary for a more detailed understanding of his life, his spirits, and his faith. Despite its fame within the Naqshbandi sect and its importance for research, this treatise has remained rare, hidden, and neglected. In this article, in addition to correcting, suspending, and updating the version and adding textual explanations, an attempt has been made to introduce, analyze, and explain its place and author in the Naqshbandiyeh tradition of the Mujaddidiyeh. The research method in this article is descriptive and analytical, and library sources have been used
Can instructor-provided notes enhance learning in medical students?
Munad-Ar-Rehman Mohammad, Muhammad Yousuf Hayat, Abdirahman Osman Faculty of Medicine, St George’s Hospital Medical School, London, UKWe read with great interest the article by Gharravi1 on the use of instructor-provided notes during lectures. We would like to add our reflections as medical students. The study highlighted the benefits of a guided note-taking approach, improved quality of notes, greater student satisfaction, and better exam results. This approach can provide a standardized platform for education and ensures the learning of correct content for examinations.2 It can be a more active way to engage millennial learners. But the question remains, to which extent should this approach be implemented in the medical curriculum? Author's reply Anneh Mohammad GharraviSchool of Medicine, Shahroud University of Medical Sciences, Shahroud, Iran This letter is in response to the letter by Munad-Ar-Rehman Mohammad et al, which argued that in my paper (Gharrai, 2018)1 the question remains, to which extent should instructor provided notes be implemented in the medical curriculum? Because anatomy education is stressful and time-consuming for both teachers and students, results of my article recommended instructor-provided notes for anatomy teaching and learning.2 View the original paper by Gharravi.

Analisis Bahasa Gender dalam Fatwa tentang “Musawat Al Mar’ah bi Al Rajul” Oleh: Ahmad Al-Shurbasy dalam Kitab “Yas’alunak fi al-Din wa al-Hayat”
Gender issues are now in the great spotlight in the eyes of the wider community. Gender is generally identified as the difference between men and women from a socio-cultural perspective. Gender in general can be defined as a cultural concept that distinguishes between men and women from a socio-cultural perspective that can change according to changing times. Apart from that, gender issues regarding the roles between men and women in society are based on socio-cultural constructions and the history of society, not solely because of biological, anatomical or sexual aspects. Departing from this problem the author considers it necessary to express thoughts about Gender Language in the Fatwa about the text "Musawat Al Mar'ah bi Al Rajul". By using the library research method, which is then processed using an inductive or deductive approach, it is expected to be able to conclude the Fatwa on Musawat Al Mar'ah bi Al Rajul by Ahmad Al-Shurbasy written in the book Yas'alunak fi al-Din wa al-Hayat, consists of six paragraphs. Each paragraph contains the author's thoughts on the similarities between men and women, as well as the differences between the two (gender) from the perspective of Islam. In this study, it was also found that in expressing his thoughts on gender, he conveyed it using clear, straightforward, and firm language. This kind of language pattern is indeed appropriate to display thoughts about a problem that is problematic. By using such language, it will be able to provide an understanding of gender proportionally
Ebu Hayyan et-Tevhidi'nin Hayat Felsefesi
Ali ibn Muhammad Abu Hayyârı al-Tawhidi (320-414/932-1023) was an Arabic litterateur and philosopher, and author of numerous books which reflect all the main themes of debate and reflection in the cultivated circles of his time. His basic themes are God, Man, Intellect, Soul and Nature. He also has a strong interest in moral questions on both the individual and social level. He was a ‘Farabian School’ and ‘Sicistanian School’s student. Tawhidi inquired “the problem of life” in his essay which is named “Risâletü’l Hayât” (The Treatise on the Life) and his other Works. I studied and analyzed the “Tawhidi’s Philosophy of Life” according his thoughts in this article. He writes and classifies “the life” in his treatise as ten types. The eight types are about the man. The one of them is about the angels and the other is about Go
Mada'in Salih, a Nabataean town in north west Arabia: analysis and interpretation of the excavation 1986-1990
This research concerns Mada'in Salih, an archaeological site in north-west Saudi Arabia. Historically, it was part of the Nabataean kingdom which flourished in northwest Arabia (Jordan, parts of Syria, Palestine and some parts of Saudi Arabia), with Petra in Jordan as its capital. The Nabataeans were famous for their trading role, as they transported frankincense and myrrh and exported balsam and bitumen. They built monumental tombs in Petra and Mada'in Salih as well as other public buildings such as temples theatres and baths. They were also famous for their skills in hydraulic engineering and the production of very thin, distinctively painted pottery. Mada'in Salih was an important station on the trade route which linked south Arabia with Mediterranean countries. The main feature of the site is the monumental tombs, which are about eighty in number, some of them dated and bearing inscriptions. Those inscriptions are in Aramaic and usually contain information about the owner name, legal rights, and occasionally the mason's name. Little was known about the site's history and other aspects such as the economy, culture, society and religions prior to the excavation. Various questions were raised which the thesis attempts to address. The archaeological work conducted on the site included a survey, several trenches around the town wall and in front of some of the tombs as well as an excavation in the settlement area. The excavation revealed a private house which furnished us with information regarding house planning, building techniques and materials. A large amount of pottery, small finds and coins were recovered, studied and classified. The results added some information to what was already known about the Nabataeans in general and Mada'in Salih in particular. The site had witnessed its peak during the first century A.D. As most previous archaeological work had been carried out in the northern parts of the Nabataean kingdom, the results of this excavation are important for comparative studies between this, the largest Nabataean settlement centre in the south, to the centres of the north. The trade which had been an important factor in the establishment of the site declined when the trade route was shifted from land to sea by the Romans during the last half of the first century A.D
