Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out how teachers and students felt about online classes in Bangladesh. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the education system in Bangladesh has made a change by delivering classes via online means. Therefore, this study examines teachers' and students' perspectives and concerns about taking online classes, which have become mandatory because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The data were collected by using an online survey method. The sample included 907 teachers and 1451 students from schools, colleges, and universities across Bangladesh's eight divisions. The data show that in the pandemic situation, a total of 80% of students were able to be connected with online education. Among them, 56% of students got no facilities regarding online classes from their educational institutions. To continue their study, 56% of the students wanted offline education. Likewise, it was tracked down that quality and convenient cooperation among students and instructors, specialized help accessibility, organized online class modules, and changes permitting the lead of reasonable exercises are largely fundamental elements in educators' and students’ fulfilment with online classes. The absence of typical classroom socializing, lack of face-to-face engagement with the teacher, and response time were among the major difficulties raised by the students. This study contributes significantly to the studies of the impact of COVID-19 on education particularly within developing countries. It also will have a significant impact on the government of Bangladesh's decision on how to continue online classes in the face of the epidemic and reopen Bangladesh's educational facilities.

Abstract

This article aims to describe how the movement carried out by the Juang Community of Lebak, Indonesia, encouraged and empowered the community to develop honey bee cultivation in Lebak Regency amidst the growing issue of local food innovation and diversification. This study contributes to the studies of the movement of honey bee cultivation, which are so far still understudied. Research on honey bees commonly focuses on collaboration with government or community empowerment. This study, however, tries to look at the social movements aimed at developing honey production in local contexts using a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. The results show that the Juang Community of Lebak was a driving force for the community in Kampung Buana in cultivating honey bees. It attempted various activities such as building collaboration, strengthening and developing resources, and seeking wider networks for a more open market. However, the movement had difficulties in establishing good collaboration from various parties to jointly develop the potential of honey bees in Lebak Regency.

Abstract

Outsiders have often perceived the Wetu Telu community in Lombok as a variant or a splinter of the predominantly Islamic Sasak society's religious system. This article aims to understand the existence of the Wetu Telu community on the island of Lombok from the perspective of both outsiders and insiders with a holistic, interdisciplinary approach. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The research subjects include the Wetu Telu community in and around Lingsar Narmada in West Lombok, the Tanjung area, and several villages in the Bayan district of North Lombok, such as Loloan, Anyar, Akar-Akar, and Mumbul Sari. The required data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature studies. Data analysis involved domain, taxonomic, componential, and thematic analysis. The results show that phenomenologically Wetu Telu is a variant of Islamic Sasak that believes in some Islamic doctrinal values, understands and practices religious rituals that have many similarities with the belief systems before the coming of Islam to Lombok and blends with local Sasak cultural traditions or customs. Wetu Telu was born from the historical transition of the development of local belief systems that dialectically interacted with the arrival and development of major religions on the island of Lombok and were intertwined with the socio-cultural and socio-political dynamics of Sasak society. This study significantly contributes to the study of the relationship between “foreign religion” and local culture with a special reference to the Wetu Telu of Sasak people in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article investigates the effect of personality traits and gender differences on risky behaviours among first-year students of a South African university. A sample of three hundred and twelve (312) first-year students comprising 59.6 per cent females was selected as participants. Data were collected with a questionnaire to measure risky behaviours, personality traits, and demographic information. Collected data were subjected to statistical analysis using the statistical package for social sciences v23. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted. Results showed that the use of alcohol to the extent of being drunk, staying out late at night without parents’ knowledge, taking chances while doing hobbies, reckless driving, and unsafe sexual practices are prominent among the students. Agreeableness (F (1, 308) = 9.863, p <.005), and conscientiousness (F (1, 307) = 20.445, p <.001) personality traits significantly influenced risky behaviours, while there was a significant gender difference (t (310) = 6.13, p <.01) in the rate of risky behaviours among the participants. It is concluded that personality traits significantly contribute to risky behaviours. In addition, males are generally more inclined to engage in risky behaviours than females. Intervention-based research and activities to address the issue of risky behaviours among students are recommended. This study contributes to the study of risky behaviour among young persons with a reference to the context of university life in South Africa by considering gender as an important factor that contributes to risky behaviours among first-year university students.

Abstract

This article examines the dynamics of politics and international relations in South Asia with a reference to the Maldives. The Maldives is a small, fragile nation in South Asia, with 198 of its 1,192 islands inhabited. The peaceful Maldives, at the dawn of democracy, turned volatile when Nasheed started a campaign to impeach a criminal court judge. At that moment, India consciously did not want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Maldives. But in this opportunity, some countries like China, Pakistan, USA wanted to increase their influence in the democracy of Maldives. Some Islamic fundamentalist groups also tried to put a stain on the democracy of Maldives. A weak judiciary, corruption, and nepotism have taken a terrible toll on the country's democracy. In the presidential election of 2008 and 2013 Maldives, India's cooperation was an unprecedented event in this electoral system. However, Maldives has wandered between various ups and downs leading to the establishment of democracy. As a small country in South Asia, the establishment and context of democracy are very important, and Maldivian foreign policy towards India is always influenced by domestic politics. So, this paper focuses on the role of India to establish democracy in Maldives. The content analysis method was used in this study. Hence, this article contributes to studies of politics and international relations among countries in South Asia.
