DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is a concrete solution to the challenges in developing higher education inIndonesia. The proposed perspectives and ideas are ideal to be developed by teachers and lecturers in their own classroom. The two best parts of this book are (1) how the educators, especially in universities, should form critical thinking habit in their classroom through respectful and scholarly discussion; and (2) how universities should become the centre of ‘teaching for learning’. Those are vital as educating today’s students is our best investment to develop their willingness of life-long learning and the ability of critical thinking. In the future, these students will determine the fate of Indonesia. Therefore, let’s empower higher education in Indonesia by applying the constructive suggestions proposed in this book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAcademic freedom rests on a shared belief that the production of knowledge advances the common good. In an era of education budget cuts, wealthy donors intervening in university decisions, and right-wing groups threatening dissenters, scholars cannot expect that those in power will value their work. Can academic freedom survive in this environment—and must we rearticulate what academic freedom is in order to defend it? This book presents a series of essays by the renowned historian Joan Wallach Scott that explore the history and theory of free inquiry and its value today. Scott considers the contradictions in the concept of academic freedom. She examines the relationship between state power and higher education; the differences between the First Amendment right of free speech and the guarantee of academic freedom; and, in response to recent campus controversies, the politics of civility. The book concludes with an interview conducted by Bill Moyers in which Scott discusses the personal experiences that have informed her views. Academic freedom is an aspiration, Scott holds: its implementation always falls short of its promise, but it is essential as an ideal of ethical practice. Knowledge, Power, and Academic Freedom is both a nuanced reflection on the tensions within a cherished concept and a strong defense of the importance of critical scholarship to safeguard democracy against the anti-intellectualism of figures from Joseph McCarthy to Donald Trump.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn these seventeen essays, distinguished senior scholars discuss the conceptual issues surrounding the idea of freedom of inquiry and scrutinize a variety of obstacles to such inquiry that they have encountered in their personal and professional experience. Their discussion of threats to freedom traverses a wide disciplinary and institutional, political and economic range covering specific restrictions linked to speech codes, the interests of donors, institutional review board licensing, political pressure groups, and government policy, as well as phenomena of high generality, such as intellectual orthodoxy, in which coercion is barely visible and often self-imposed. As the editors say in their introduction: "No freedom can be taken for granted, even in the most well-functioning of formal democracies. Exposing the tendencies that undermine freedom of inquiry and their hidden sources and widespread implications is in itself an exercise in and for democracy."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere is a fast development of references about teaching method. However, very little academic literature on teaching method derived from the basic tenets of Islamic Intellectual tradition. As a result, some of Islamic tenets cannot be exhorted deeply which leads unsatisfactory accomplishment of intellectual development in Islam. This book focuses of the Ijtihad concept in relation to the teaching approach in Islamic education. The problems that have been occurring is Islamic education, particularly regarding the teaching and learning approach, may arise because these aspects are not in line with the Ijtihad concept that has been practiced by the Ulemas and taught in Islamic Education. This book is respected for students, lecturers and education practitioners who concern about the development of thinking pattern. It can be a valuable reference for teaching learning strategic, and enrich the intellectual properties, particularly for Islamic education institutions. This book is completed with brief questionnaire that might be able to help readers to see clearer picture of practicing Ijtihad in some Islamic education institutions in Indonesia.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAcademic freedom and institutional autonomy are essential for universities to produce the research and teaching necessary to improve society and the human condition. Academic freedom and institutional autonomy are increasingly important components of the development of democracy. At the same time, these fundamental democratic values are subject to pressure in many countries. The relationship between academic freedom, institutional autonomy and democracy is fundamental: it is barely conceivable that they could exist in a society not based on democratic principles, and democracy is enriched when higher education institutions operate on this basis. Higher education institutions need to be imbued with democratic culture and that, in turn, helps to promote democratic values in the wider society. None of these issues are simple and the lines between legitimacy and illegitimacy are sometimes hard to discern, as is illustrated by perspectives from Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and the Mediterranean region.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDefending Legal Freedoms in Indonesia provides fresh insights into how cause lawyers navigate political and institutional change, by presenting and analysing the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI), the oldest and most influential legal and human rights organisation in Indonesia. Based on rich ethnographic research, this book charts the developments of the organisation since its founding in 1970, its contribution to the ending of the authoritarian, military-backed New Order (1966-1998), its relative decline in the years following Indonesia’s democratisation and its revival in recent years as Indonesian democracy and human rights come under threat. The author examines the tactics the organisation has used, including show trials and working alongside grassroots communities, organising them and educating them about their rights. It highlights how this organisation flourished more under an authoritarian regime than under democracy and how its present, prominent, adversarial-political version of cause lawyering is playing a leading role in civil society resisting further erosion of democracy and human rights. The book addresses recent democratic erosion under President Joko Widodo, and documents pivotal moments in Indonesia’s contemporary history, such as the ‘Reform Corrupted’ mass demonstrations in 2019, illuminating how democracy shrinks, and how lawyers push back. The first book on Indonesia’s crucially important cause lawyering, activist lawyers’ group, this book will be of interest to researchers in Asian Law, Indonesian Studies. It is also an essential point of reference for future research in public lawyering in Asia.
