learning Arabic language is urgent for Muslim, and children is most potential age to study foreign Ianguage. Learning process needed appropriate method, strategy and teaching art. There are some strategies which can be selected (or blend each other): play, speaking, demonstration, project, and tell a story strategy. In order mastering language and speak fluently, customization also important element. 'The art of teaching' on learning Arab Ianguage is teacher activity which must be conducted with knowledge, skill and individual style to prepare the pupil at best condition to learn aesthetic and effective Arab Ianguage.

Numerous efforts have been made to reform education to address globalization both in developed and developing countries. The integration of technology in education has been one vital reform effort in developing countries to prepare graduates for 21st century workplaces, which are digitally robust. Web 2.0 technologies are becoming prominent educational and workplace tools. This literature review of Indonesian government policies, NGO initiative reports, and contemporary research explores the integration of Web 2.0 in Indonesian education using an ecological perspective by introducing the Indonesian national educational policy and laws, describing national and non-government organizations’ initiatives focused on Web 2.0 integration, identifying salient national and local challenges preventing Web 2.0 integration, and proposing strategies for future planning and research. Challenges identified include lack of technological facilities, an absence of technology standards in education, a standardized testing culture, lack of coordination between government levels (national to local), lack of professional development, and a need for strong school technology leadership. The authors recommend Indonesia engage in comprehensive, visionary planning for Web 2.0 integration with strategies to meet local needs, invest in professional development and technology specialist positions, and advance mobile Web 2.0 computing and BYOT/D initiatives. Future research could examine how ecological factors at the national, provincial, and local levels coordinate to best establish Web 2.0 integration in education at the school level.

It is urgent that education scholars explore how Islamic values shape (and are shaped by) Muslim school leader beliefs, given the heightened anti-Muslim sentiment present in western contexts. Yet, there is a lack of scholarship on non-western approaches to leading schools. To address this gap, we drew from extant Islamic and educational leadership literature to develop a conceptual framework for Islamic school leadership. The framework is grounded in Islamic values and beliefs that cross socio-religious and contextual boundaries. Outside the framework are Islamic leader values. Inside the framework are four inner domains that influence the encircling values. Some beliefs will hold more sway that others, which will provide new insight into how Muslim leaders perceive their work and how this may influence their practice. Our expectation is that this framework will be tested, refined, and interrogated through empirical inquiry, thereby furthering scholarship in non-western contexts.

Purpose-The purpose of this study was to investigate how socio-religious dynamics influence (and are influenced by) principals in Islamic schools. Design/methodology/approach-This qualitative case study took place in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with school leaders along with school site observations. To frame the study, we drew from both Indonesian and international scholarship to understand extant perspectives on the context and on the ways that principals influence socio-religious thinking and practices in schools. Findings-Findings suggested that principals' personal experiences and beliefs are central to the ways that socio-religious thinking and practices are manifest in their school. Principals practice more progressive or conservative leadership by influencing the degree to which the school is (a) an open or closed system, (b) inclusive or exclusive in their practices and (c) plural or unitary in their teaching. In making decisions along each of these continua, principals in Islamic schools "curate" a socio-religious educational environment. Originality/value-This paper contributes to the literature on principals and socio-religious dynamics in schools by discovering specific continua of practice that collectively suggest a more conservative or progressive interpretation of Islam. As this area is understudied in educational leadership, the study makes a foundational empirical contribution, suggests theoretical constructs heretofore unexplored, and advances the notion of principal as curator of educational practice.

Artikel ini mencoba menelusuri bahwa intuisi (spiritualitas) mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Melalui pendekatan psikologi (transpersonalisme), persoalan-persoalan yang abstrak dan transenden (spiritual experience) dibahas secara ilmiah. Pada dasarnya, setiap manusia mempunyai potensi spiritualitas. Namun sangat disayangkan, potensi ini tidak dikembangkan sedemikian rupa. Hal ini dapat dimaklumi sebab psikologi modern tidak memberikan perhatian yang serius terhadap masalah ini. Padahal bila kemampuan alami ini kembangkan secara maksimal maka hasilnya akan luar biasa. Dan tentunya juga akan berdampak positif juga pada kehidupan manusia. Satu hal yang juga sangat penting adalah penulis ingin meneguhkan kembali agama sebagai salah satu sumber ilmu pengetahuan yang valid dan kompatibel dengan dunia modern. Kata Kunci: transpersonalisme, psikologi, spiritual, intuisi, pendidikan Islam.
