This article examines the requirements for quality learning, that is based exclusively on the perspective of Burhān al-Dīn al-Nu’mān ibn Ibrōhīm al-Zarnūjī in his treatise entitled “Ta’līm al-Muta’allim Ṭorīq al-Ta’allum”. It reveals that quality learning has six things dependency: ingenious acumen, fervent desire, resilience, sufficent sustenance, guidance of a teacher, and length of time. The way to test of any educational factors, of course, develop instruments to measure quantitatively. The development of instruments is yet to do.

Understanding Comprehensive Learning Requirements in the Light of al-Zarnūjī’sTa‘līm al-Muta‘allim

et al. 2016

This article examines the requirements for quality learning in Islam from the perspective of al-Zarnūjī and according to his book, Ta'līm al-Muta'allim. This book has been a source of reference for both students and teachers in many educational institutions in Muslim countries, particularly, the Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. The article attempts to understand the students' learning requirements proposed by al-Zarnūjī in the above treatise. It is, therefore, a library-based research. The research tackles many issues. It addresses the need for a broad-based learning process and analyzes the requirements in the light of the modern day learning circumstances. It was found that al-Zarnūjī's theory of quality learning is conditional on six main principles which are, indeed, determinants of quality student outcomes. These are intelligence or high learning ability; high motivation for learning; patience, emotional stability, and commitment to the learning process; availability of financial support; inspiration of the teachers; and disposition to time management in the learning process. The notion of quality education is fundamental to the classical perspective of learning in Islam.

Performance Funding: Exam Results, Stakes, and Washback in Danish Schools

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

High-stakes testing is meant to create a positive washback effect on student learning. Performance funding can raise stakes. However, it is not often used, and its washback is uncertain. The purpose of this paper is to examine performance-funding programs based on students’ exam results. We study principals’ perceptions and interpretations of how this influenced stakes and washback effects of the exit exams. For that purpose, we selected four schools based on theoretical sampling criteria. The empirical data comprise semi-structured interviews with management over the 2-year program and documents describing the performance-funding program. The findings indicate that implementing performance funding increases stakes and has washback effects, but that stakes depend partly on the principal’s choices. Although the consequences were unintended, the program and its effects were mostly perceived as positive. The paper shows how unintended consequences call for careful consideration of the pros and cons of accountability systems when high-stakes test-based funding mechanisms are introduced.
