ABSTRACT: Entering the 21st century, there was a new phenomenon in higher education world in Indonesia, especially for institution of education and teacher training. In 2000, for example, ten IKIPs (Institut Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan or Institute of Education and Teacher Training) in Indonesia changed their names into university. Accordingly, discussing critically educational philosophy and aim in a nation-state is very important and should always be sought for in order to realize the critical society, especially related to the question of how this nation-state will be built. Every nation-state has contextual education philosophy and aim, which is particular in its own historical and social context. Indonesia, as a nation-state, has unique educational philosophy and aim, and it is the next generation’s job to revitalize and implement it in the real educational praxis. This paper tries to discuss the position and role of LPTK (Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan or Teacher Training Institutions) as one of higher educational institutions that is responsible to educate the professional teachers in Indonesia. It is imperative to reformulate and revitalize the educational philosophy and aim of LPTK, especially related to preparing the candidate of such institution participants – who will be the teachers and educators in the future – in order that educational development in Indonesia can educate the people in one side, and can strengthen self identity in other side as civilized, advanced, modern, prosperous, and social justice nation. KEY WORDS: National philosophy, educational aim, teacher training institutions, and reformulate the position and role of institution.   About the Authors: Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Social Studies Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, West Java; and Joko Purwanto, M.Pd. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMP (Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto), Jalan Raya Dukuh Waluh, Purwokerto, Central Java, Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: The process of globalization is now entering almost all aspects of human life. The process of globalization is due to the acceleration of innovation and its application in science and technology. All phenomena of globalization have had the implications in the field of education, including the education system in Indonesia. In the context of the teaching-learning process, for example, it seems to have been and will being changing, in pertaining with the development of science and information technology, that is emergencing of an e-learning phenomenon (learning through electronic media) and the application of multi-media technology in the learning process. Therefore, education in Indonesia must be ready to welcome the phenomena of globalization with all its challenges and responses. Indeed, the education sector in Indonesia is still a "cinderella" (step child) in the process of nation building. Institute for R & D (Research and Development) is also still being accessories and not yet functioning optimally. It is appropriate if the Indonesia government and society to change the paradigm and to reorient about the critical role of education as a vehicle, not only to educate and advance the nation-state but also to improve the quality of the HR (Human Resources) that are creative and innovative, have a work ethic and high morale, and able to stand up right in order parallel to the other nation-states in the world.KEY WORD: Globalization, science and technology, education, economic development, human resources, creative and innovative, and work ethic. RESUME: “Globalisasi dan Implikasinya bagi Dunia Pendidikan di Indonesia: Antara Tantangan dan Jawaban”. Proses globalisasi saat ini sudah memasuki hampir seluruh aspek kehidupan manusia. Proses globalisasi ini terjadi akibat akselerasi inovasi dan penerapannya di bidang sains dan teknologi. Semua fenomena globalisasi itu berimplikasi dalam bidang pendidikan, termasuk sistem pendidikan di Indonesia. Dalam konteks proses belajar-mengajar, misalnya, nampaknya telah dan akan mengalami perubahan, sekaitan dengan perkembangan sains dan teknologi informasi, yaitu munculnya fenomema e-learning (belajar melalui media elektronik) dan aplikasi teknologi multi media dalam proses belajar. Karenanya, dunia pendidikan di Indonesia harus siap menyambut fenomena globalisasi ini dengan segala tantangan dan jawabannya. Memang, sektor pendidikan di Indonesia masih menjadi “cinderella” (anak tiri) dalam proses pembangunan bangsa. Lembaga LITBANG (Penelitian dan Pengembangan) pula masih bersifat asesoris dan belum berfungsi secara optimal. Sudah selayaknya jika pemerintah dan masyarakat Indonesia mengubah paradigma dan melakukan reorientasi tentang sentralnya peran pendidikan sebagai wahana, selain untuk mencerdaskan dan memajukan bangsa juga untuk meningkatkan kualitas SDM (Sumber Daya Manusia) yang kreatif dan inovatif, punya etos kerja dan semangat juang yang tinggi, serta mampu tegak berdiri, sejajar dengan bangsa-bangsa lain di dunia.KATA KUNCI: Globalisasi, sains dan teknologi, pendidikan, pembangunan ekonomi, sumber daya manusia, kreatif dan inovatif, serta etos kerja.  About the Authors: Dr. M.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Kashmir is an intractable conflict between the two South Asian countries: India and Pakistan. It had affected people of tiny nation badly. Every individual suffered here in this vale of paradise which was known as the beautiful region across the globe. But its irony that due to unrest, turmoil, and cycle of violence, people lost their kiths and kens; and because of all that, State of Jammu and Kashmir suffered a lot. This valley has seen plenty of untold stories of massive violations of human rights committed by Indian army, police, and by some of the militant groups. Since 1989, the people of Kashmir were killed, tortured, humiliated, and injured. Thousands of the people were killed due to cycle of violence prevalent in Jammu and Kashmir. Thousands of the people got injuries and they became disabled to work. Many are those who lost their beloved children’s, daughters, sisters, mothers, and some women have lost their beloved husbands, who were only the source to care for them. Due to turmoil situations, thousands of the houses and shops were burnt. This study will describe how fundamental rights of the people were encroached and curtailed. It will also highlight how the people of this region were suppressed due to misuse of the armed forces. It is pertinent to mention here that no democracy can be successful where draconian and inhuman laws are prevailing. Democracy can only survive when the dignity of every individual will be respected and safeguarded. Here are tears in every mother’s eyes that lost their beloved children. Everybody here hates violence and is ready to see peaceful Kashmir without any conflict and human rights violations, may this dream of so many become reality.  KEY WORDS: Untold stories, violations, fake encounters, draconian laws, psychological disorder and suicides, disappearances in Kashmir, and human rights.    About the Authors: Dr. Hilal Ahmad Wani is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies UoI (University of Ilorin) in Ilorin, Nigeria; Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Social Studies Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung; and Dr. Joseph Fayeye is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies UoI in Ilorin, Nigeria.

Abstract

IKHTISAR: Karakter bangsa bagi negara-negara kebangsaan adalah hasil dari proses pencarian dan penemuan identitas dan jati diri bangsa tersebut. Karena tiap bangsa di dunia memiliki perjalanan sejarahnya sendiri-sendiri, maka tidaklah mengherankan kalau terjadi perbedaan karakter bangsa. Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang masalah karakter bangsa dan figur kepemimpinan di Indonesia. Dengan menganalisis enam figur Presiden Indonesia, tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa ada kaitan yang erat antara pembangunan karakter bangsa dengan keteladanan dari seorang pemimpin bangsa. Hal ini karena seorang pemimpin, terutama Presiden Indonesia, adalah figur panutan dan contoh teladan bagi rakyat Indonesia yang berjumlah lebih dari 250 juta jiwa pada tahun 2015 nanti. Krisis kepemimpinan dan tiadanya keteladanan dari seorang pemimpin, dalam corak masyarakat Indonesia yang masih paternalistik, jelas akan mengakibatkan juga proses reduksi terhadap karakter bangsa secara keseluruhan.KATA KUNCI: Karakter bangsa, negara-bangsa Indonesia, figure pemimpin, Presiden Indonesia, dan model kepemimpinan.

By analyzing six figures of Indonesian President, this article indicates that there is closely relationship between development of national character and role model of a national leader.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Human beings engage in conflict, aggression, warfare, and violence seemingly equate with the human condition. Equally, humans have sought, as long as there has been conflict, to handle conflict effectively by containing or reducing its negative consequences. This paper is an effort to understand some of the major theoretical perspectives of conflict resolution and conflict transformation. Since both the concepts are very important for giving us kind of understanding that how can we minimize the level and structures of conflicts and to create new avenues of cooperation and compatibility. This study tried to highlight the basic dichotomy between the two concepts. Any conflict can be resolved and transformed if the structure and relationship of the two conflicting parties are fully taken into consideration. Both theories diagnoses causes and sources of conflict and both can be used as methods for resolving and transforming different conflicts. Finally, this paper is the scholarly work for understanding the major differences as well as simillarities between conflict resolution and conflict transformation. KEY WORD: Conflict resolution, conflict transformation, causes of conflict, and conditions for peaceful resolution of conflict.IKHTISAR: Makalah ini berjudul “Resolusi Konflik dan Transformasi Konflik: Beberapa Refleksi”. Manusia terlibat dalam konflik, agresi, perang, dan kekerasan yang nampaknya berjalan seiring dengan kondisi manusia. Pada saat yang sama, manusia juga telah berusaha, sepanjang konflik itu ada, untuk menangani konflik secara efektif dengan mengisi atau mengurangi konsekuensi negatifnya. Makalah ini merupakan upaya untuk memahami beberapa perspektif teoritis utama tentang resolusi konflik dan transformasi konflik. Kedua konsep itu sangat penting untuk memberikan kita semacam pemahaman tentang bagaimana kita bisa meminimalkan tingkat dan struktur konflik serta menciptakan jalan baru bagi kerjasama dan kesesuaian. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk menyoroti dikotomi dasar antara dua konsep tersebut. Setiap konflik dapat diselesaikan dan diubah jika struktur dan hubungan kedua pihak yang berkonflik sepenuhnya dipertimbangkan. Kedua teori mendiagnosa penyebab dan sumber konflik dan keduanya dapat digunakan sebagai metode untuk menyelesaikan dan mengubah konflik yang berbeda. Akhirnya, makalah ini adalah karya ilmiah untuk memahami perbedaan dan kesamaan utama antara resolusi konflik dan transformasi konflik.KATA KUNCI: Resolusi konflik, transformasi konflik, penyebab konflik, dan kondisi untuk penyelesaian konflik secara damai.    About the Authors: Dr. Hilal Ahmad Wani is a Post Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for Peace & Strategic Studies UOI (University of Ilorin) in Nigeria; Andi Suwitra, M.Hum. is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of History Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung; and Dr. Joseph Fayeye is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Peace & Strategic Studies UOI in Ilorin, Nigeria.

Abstract

ABSTRAK: Kajian tentang peristiwa Konfrontasi Indonesia-Malaysia tahun 1963-1966 sudah banyak dilakukan, baik dalam perspektif politik dan ekonomi maupun pertahanan dan hubungan internasional. Kajian-kajian yang bersifat akademik tersebut berusaha untuk memahami segi-segi objektif yang menjadi penyebab, latar belakang peristiwa, jalannya peristiwa, pengaruhnya, serta akhir dari peristiwa penting yang dihadapi oleh dua negara-bangsa yang serumpun pada tahun 1960-an. Penelitian ini ingin memberikan perspektif yang agak lain dan bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pemahaman komprehensif dan objektif tentang bagaimana negara-bangsa Indonesia dan Malaysia memberikan tafsir resmi (official history) terhadap peristiwa penting yang melibatkan kepentingan politik dua negara-bangsa tersebut. Tafsir resmi tersebut, salah satunya, nampak dalam penggunaan dan penyajian buku-buku teks sejarah di sekolah. Dengan menganalisis buku-buku teks sejarah, penelitian ini memberikan perspektif baru tentang dua negara-bangsa dalam membangun wacana sejarah (historical discourse) untuk kepentingan tujuan pendidikan nasionalnya masing-masing. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa buku-buku teks sejarah di Malaysia banyak memberikan penjelasan yang meyakinkan daripada buku-buku teks sejarah di Indonesia dalam memaknai peristiwa konfrontasi Indonesia-Malaysia pada tahun 1963-1966.  Kata-kata kunci: Peristiwa konfrontasi Indonesia-Malaysia, studi komparatif, analisis buku-buku teks sejarah, dan tafsir resmi sejarah.About the Author: Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. adalah Dosen Jurusan Pendidikan Sejarah FPIPS Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

IKHTISAR: Pendidikan IPS (Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial), khususnya pendidikan Geografi, harus memberikan kesadaran tentang kondisi ruang dengan segala dimensi dan problematikanya. Sejak di lingkungan sekolah dan keluarga, peserta didik dibiasakan untuk menata, memanfaatkan, dan mencintai ruang di lingkungannya. Namun seiring dengan kemajuan zaman, yang ditandai oleh perkembangan IPTEK (Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi), sikap manusia terhadap alam dan lingkungannya juga mengalami perubahan. Justru itu, inilah tugas pendidikan IPS, khususnya pendidikan Geografi, untuk membekali dan memberikan kesadaran tentang keruangan dalam konteks kehidupan budaya global. Dalam waktu yang sama, pendidikan IPS, khususnya pendidikan Geografi, juga tetap memberikan bekal dan kesadaran tentang keruangan dalam konteks budaya nasional dan bahkan lokal. Dengan begini maka peserta didik tetap dapat berpikir dan berwawasan global, bersikap nasional, dan bertindak dalam konteks lokal dalam kehidupan sehari-hari mereka. Dengan demikian, fenomena globalisasi bukanlah sesuatu yang perlu ditakuti dan dihindari, namun harus disambut, diapresiasi, dan diaktualisasikan dalam konteks kehidupan budaya nasional dan lokal di Indonesia.KATA KUNCI: Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial, pendidikan Geografi, dimensi ruang, peserta didik, serta wawasan lokal, nasional, dan global.ABSTRACT: “Geography and Social Studies Education in the Global Perspective: Its Roles and Challenges in the Indonesian Context”. Social Studies education, Geography education in particular, must give awareness about the condition of the space with all its dimensions and problems. Since in the school and family environments, learners accustomed to organize, harness, and loved the space in the environment. But along with the progress of time, which is characterized by the development of Science and Technology, human attitudes toward nature and the environment is also changing. Exactly, this is the task of Social Studies education, Geography education in particular, to equip and provide spatial awareness in the context of global cultural life. At the same time, Social Studies education, particularly Geography education, also continued to provide supplies and spatial awareness in the context of national and even local culture. In this way, students can still thinking in global perspective, national attitude, and act in a local context in their daily lives. Thus, the phenomenon of globalization is not something to be feared and avoided, but should be welcomed, appreciated, and actualized in the context of national and local cultural life in Indonesia.KEY WORD: Social Studies education, Geography education, dimensions of the space, students, and insight into local, national, and global.  About the Authors: Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. adalah Dosen Senior di Departemen Pendidikan Sejarah, Fakultas Pendidikan Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial UPI (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia) di Bandung; dan Sri Redjeki Rosdianti, M.M.Pd. adalah Guru IPS (Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial) di SMP (Sekolah Menengah Pertama) Labschool UPI Kampus Cibiru, Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: It seemed relevant to discuss the role and figure of strong, tough and faithful woman in accompanying his husband’s struggle to realize his social aspiration. Such a woman figure was Inggit Garnasih, Soekarno’s wife since the period of national movement in Indonesia (1923-1943). In this context, it seemed relevant talking about the services of Inggit Garnasih not based on herself but according to other’s acknowledgement closely related with her. The other whom I meant was Soekarno, as her husband, as had been stated in his autobiography and other reviewer of Soeakrno’s biography, especially when it was related to his relationship with Inggit Garnasih. However, Inggit Garnasih did not only encourage her husband to complete his study in THS Bandung but she was also faithful to accompany her husband – in happiness and sorrow – in national movement struggle. Finally, one of statements for reflecting here is that the Republic of Indonesia’s government should give fair honor to Inggit Garnasih for her services in the age of motion in Indonesia with Soekarno’s idependence struggle. KEY WORDS: Inggit Garnasih’s roles, Soekarno’s struggle, the age of motion, and Indonesia’s independent.About the Author: Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. is a Lecturer at the Department of History Education, Faculty of Social Studies Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education) in Bandung; and Editor-in-Chief of EDUCARE: International Journal for Educational Studies in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

Abstract

IKHTISAR: Proses genesis dan perkembangan nasionalisme di Indonesia memiliki sejarah yang panjang dan dinamis. Pengenalan sistem pendidikan modern pada awal abad ke-20 telah melahirkan golongan elite terdidik dan cendekiawan yang tercerahkan. Sekat-sekat etnisitas mulai mencair dan gambaran imajiner tentang negara-bangsa yang bernama “Indonesia” mulai diwacanakan dan diperjuangkan agar menjadi kenyataan. Proses modernisasi dan pembangunan pasca kemerdekaan melahirkan banyak harapan agar Indonesia merupakan “proyek bersama” bagi semua anak bangsa. Namun gejala ketidakpuasan terhadap proses dan hasil pembangunan juga muncul yang ditopang oleh akar-akar etnisitas yang kembali menguat. Masalah etnisitas, nasionalitas, dan integrasi nasional di Indonesia memiliki konteks historis yang khas. Akhirnya, diperlukan kearifan sejarah untuk bisa mewujudkan Indonesia menjadi negara-bangsa yang maju, sejahtera, dan merdeka bagi semua anak bangsa di masa depan.KATA KUNCI: Etnisitas, nasionalitas, golongan cendekiawan, negara-bangsa Indonesia, dan integrasi nasional.ABSTRACT: The genesis process and nationalism development in Indonesia has its long journey and dynamic history. The introduction of modern education in the early 20th century has emerged the educated elite group and enlightened intellectuals. Ethnicity gaps have melted and an imagined community, i.e. “Indonesia”, has begun to be discussed and struggled in order to be realized. Modernization process and post-independence development have resulted in wishes to make Indonesia become “collective project” for all people of nation-state. However, the symptom of dissatisfaction on the development process and result appeared which were supported by ethnicity roots that were stronger. The problems of ethnicity, nationality, and national integration in Indonesia have particular historical context. Finally, it needs historical wisdom to realize Indonesia become progress, prosperous, and independent nation-state for all sons of nation in the future.KEY WORDS: Ethnicity, nationality, intellectual group, Indonesia nation-state, and national integration.  About the Authors: Andi Suwirta, M.Hum. adalah Dosen Senior di Jurusan Pendidikan Sejarah UPI (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia) di Bandung; dan Dr. Arlin Adam adalah Dosen Senior di Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan UVRI (Universitas Veteran Republik Indonesia) di Makassar.
