Theories of Learning

This course is a concentration core subject in a doctorate program in the Faculty of Education of UIII. The course provides a broad overview of some of the influential learning theories and the implications of these theories for educational practice.

Each of us carries assumptions about how, why, and where people learn and what constitutes adequate learning or understanding in various situations. These assumptions come from our cultural backgrounds and upbringing, from our own “apprenticeship of observation”(Lortie, 1975) as learners who have engaged in different endeavors, perhaps from our work as educators of children and adults, and from other pursuits such as being a researcher or an expert in some arena. One major goal of this course will be for each of us to make our assumptions about the processes and products of learning as explicit as possible. Becoming aware of our theories of learning assists us with the second major goal of this course—gaining a deeper understanding of the significant theories of learning and development that have influenced our educational systems.


Qualitative Data Analysis

This course aims to provide students with an orientation to the discipline and practice of qualitative research, especially qualitative data analysis as part of research methodology-related courses.  Topics include: the discipline and practice of qualitative research, qualitative research design, qualitative research characteristics, and objectives. The course will also offer the students with practice of choosing a qualitative research approach, formulating a good qualitative research question, collecting, analyzing, interpreting qualitative data, drawing a conclusion, and appraising a qualitative research report. A high proportion of course will be devoted to practices of analyzing and discussing qualitative data, especially those from observations, interviews, and documents.  Over the course scaffolding will be provided under the apprenticeship.


Quantitative Analysis and Advanced Statistics

This course aims to provide an overview of quantitative research methods and the advance statistics that often encounter within educational study. This course gives opportunity for students to understand and use more sophisticated statistical techniques to formulate and test research hypotheses, conduct rigorous data analysis up to interpret and disseminate the findings as well as evaluate the existing quantitative research.


Graduate Seminar in Educational Research

This course is designed as a foundation for postgraduate students to beginning their PhD in Education at UIII. The aim of this course is to provide students with the concepts and approaches in formulating educational research, including identifying research interests, research questions, and selecting appropriate research methods (quantitative and qualitative) through oral and written modes of communication. The course will also discuss various research issues in educational settings. Numerous careers are designed within this course, such as researcher, educator, and policy analyst.


Wasathiyatul Islam in the Globalizing World

In this course, students learn various concepts and practices of wasatiyya as introduced by scholars and practiced within Indonesian societies. Students are trained to become familiar with wasatiyya conceptually from the Qur’an, Hadis and contemporary Islamic thinkers, as well as from experiences in Indonesia as exposed and managed by civil society exponents and the state. At the end of the lecture, students are expected to have in-depth knowledge of various concepts and practices of wasatiyya in contemporary Indonesia. The teaching method used includes lecture, presentations, discussions, and assignments (paper writing), all of which are summarized in class seminar activities.


Advanced Islamic Education

The course aims to introduce students to critically explore diverse interpretations of ‘Islamic Education’ and examine historical, theological and
philosophical aspects of classical and modern Muslim educational thought, practice and institutions. Students will be introduced to the concept of ‘critical, contextual, plural and transformative Islamic Education’ through discussing diverse perceptions and scholarly approaches to define the subject. Students will have the opportunity of engaging critically with the Muslim educational/pedagogical legacy and explore how it shaped the formation of classical Islamic scientific and scholarly traditions. The course provides a reflective insight into the sources and origins of Islamic educational thought with special reference to perceptions of education in the Qur’an, prophetic traditions and the wider Muslim intellectual heritage. The role of knowledge(ilm) and knowledge bearers (ulama) in expressing Islamic civility within ethnically, culturally plural and gendered social spaces.

The course will specifically examine the traditions of Islamic Education, their historical formation and contemporary articulations within the
context of majority/minority Muslim societies in Global Southeast Asia. Students will assess existing national Islamic Education policies (
construction of curriculum, textbooks, pedagogy and teacher education systems) regarding mainstream as well as Islamic higher education
institutions. They will further discuss the educational challenges facing global Muslim communities with a special reference to understanding the process of educational change and its relationship with the wider sociopolitical reform initiatives. The course will critically examine how best to develop appropriate Islamic educational strategies to tackle religious extremism and address issues concerning the faith development of Muslim young people in the modern world.

The emphasis will be on the importance of contemporary educational research into Islamic Education, especially research springing from the
Social Sciences and Humanities directed towards philosophy, pedagogy, curriculum and policy related developments in contemporary Islamic
Education. Students will explore empirical and conceptual interdisciplinary research agenda of the field and develop their own specific areas of
research interest in Islamic Education. They will be encouraged to develop their own philosophies of Islamic Education.
