“…The methodological complexities facing researchers from the global north engaging in research in the global south have been long realized and commented upon (Asimeng-Boahene, 2012, Cook, 1998Hett & Hett, 2013;Merryfield & Muyanda-Mutebi, 1991;Sriam, et al, (2009); Stake & Jegatheesan (2008), Vulliamy, et al, 1990).…”

“…I kept thinking about this particular participant's discussion and behaviour for a long time and it created uncertainty in my mind. Although in the Middle East signing makes people fearful (Hett and Hett 2013), I was convinced that she was not scared to sign but the problem was that her oral culture attached a different meaning to signing her name. For her, and indeed the community, signing meant accepting guilt.…”

Despite changes in how disability is viewed, ethical requirements for disability research have hardly changed. Some ethical clearance procedures, processes and practices still consider persons with disabilities as not able, creating unease among researchers and research participants with disabilities themselves. This paper considers five ethical contestations arising from research in the area of disability in an African context: positionality, vulnerability, signed consent, anonymity, and research committee composition. We argue that ethical requirements in practice are still largely based on a medical model of disability and propose that culturally sensitive social and human rights models should influence disability research ethics.

Higher-Order Thinking Skills in Primary School: Teachers’ Perceptions of Islamic Education

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

One curriculum policy in countries, including Indonesia, is to provide students with higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and success in doing so is closely related to the competence of teachers in integrating HOTS in the learning process. This study investigated HOTS implementation in Islamic Education (PAI) in primary schools in Indonesia. This study employed a case study design involving 58 PAI teachers in primary schools from several West Java, Indonesia regencies. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires with short answers followed by semi-structured interviews of 10 participants. Inductive and thematic data analysis was carried out to identify, evaluate, and create themes expressed by participants with the assistance of NVivo 12. Triangulation and expert review methods were used for instrument and data validation. This study explored five findings: teacher understanding, teaching resource support, instructional strategies, and student knowledge levels. This research contributes to improving the quality of PAI learning in HOTS-oriented primary schools, and policymakers can use its findings in determining the direction of the HOTS-based PAI curriculum. Policymakers should stress the importance of increasing teacher competence in mastering the HOTS concept comprehensively in planning, implementation, and evaluation. Support from various parties in optimizing HOTS-oriented PAI learning is a necessity for teachers.
