Afghanistan has a long history of Islamic education while Western type of education (maktab) is of more recent date. The latter type of education has expanded rapidly recently. However, girls’ enrolment remains low, around 35 per cent. The present study examines children’s, particularly girls’, participation in the two educational systems. Throughout history three conflicting issues are apparent in Afghan education: state control over Islamic education, the role of Islam in education, and girls’ participation. A case study approach has been adopted providing an analysis of how history and the present globalisation processes affect current education, and how students, parents and teachers in two villages perceive the changes. The focus has been on capturing the meaning attached to education. The findings indicate high expectations on education as a vehicle to peace, enhanced morals and living standards. The traditional madrasas have declined, other forms of Islamic education have emerged. The Mosque schools are neglected by education authorities but highly esteemed by villagers. Concerns are expressed with the amount of time in maktab and with the quality of learning. The Islamic concept of farz (obligation, responsibility) puts both types of education in high demand. Dilemmas are associated with choosing between Islamic and Western type of education, applying farz to girls’ education and the encounter between Islam and globalisation. Two folk theories, one on globalisation and another on farz in education, were formulated as a basis for the further analysis. Worries are articulated about preserving Islamic values and ethics. Although ‘globalisation’ is a never heard of concept, villagers know some of its features, e.g. secularisation, individualism and consumerism, and fear these may lead to a weakened Islamic identity. Girls’ education is generally accepted. Albeit some consider a few years enough, most consider girls’ right to education to be identical to boys’, on certain conditions. Besides security, a female teacher is the most important. However, findings from the village with a long established girl school with female teachers indicate that this is not the crucial factor. In Islamic education, girls will continuously be excluded from advanced Islamic studies since female mullahs do not exist. Apparently, the real obstacles for girls’ education are the strictly segregated gender roles in Afghan society. Therefore, a new interpretation of farz is emerging, a ‘glocalised’ version. This is likely to be a decisive factor for giving girls equal access to education in both educational systems.

This thesis studies Wahid Hasyim's contribution to the development of the traditional educational institution (pesantren) and his involvement in political affairs during the colonial era and following independence. Although he grew up in traditionalist circles, his experience studying at this institution and in Arabia, in conjunction with his wide reading on various subjects, gave him an open attitude to innovation, particularly in the field of education. The backwardness of pesantren graduates in mastering secular sciences, compared to those who graduated from the Dutch schools, inspired him to modernize the pesantren system. The introduction of the madrasah into the pesantren system, an institution designed to offer courses in the secular sciences as well as on Islam, was evidence of his progressive aim to enhance the quality of Muslim education, and the traditionalist version in particular. In the political arena, he played a significant role in the struggle for independence and the development of modern Indonesia. Known as a prominent leader who had a close contacts with kyais through the pesantren network, he was able to mobilize Indonesian Muslims against colonial rule. His moderate attitude, which colored his political behavior, was vital to efforts at achieving compromise and at bridging the differences between traditionalists on the one hand and modernists as well as secular nationalists on the other.

This thesis is an attempt to study Ibn Jama'ah's approach to educational reform as illustrated in his Tadhkirat al-Sami' wa al-Mutakallim fi Adab al-'Alim wa al Muta'allim. Ibn Jama'ah (639-733 A.H. / 1241-1333 A.D.) was a distinguished Shafi'i Chief Judge and prominent scholar of Islamic studies during the Bahri Mamluk's Sultanate in Egypt and Syria. Ibn Jama'ah's theory of education reflects an emphasis on the Qur'an and hadith as primary sources of knowledge. Specifically, his suggestions for curriculum composition are designed to facilitate the evolution of a pious, religiously oriented generation of scholars. Ibn Jama'ah emphasizes the need for the teacher to foster motivation among his student body. Furthermore, he recommends that the teacher carefully gauge his students' abilities and limits. Another critical component of Ibn Jama'ah's educational program is the need for the teacher to realize the influence he has on his students; consequently, he must carry himself in a respectable and pious manner. He also addresses the various duties needed for a student to excell in his studies. In his evaluation of the teacher and student relationship, one can detect his affiliation with the Sufi khanqah tradition.

This study aims at investigating similarities and differences in the curriculum development processes in two selected pesantrens in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The research explores the involvement of key stakeholders in the curriculum development processes and the curriculum itself. The study is a qualitative approach, which, in collecting the data, employs in-depth interviews with the kyais (leaders), ustadzs (teachers), and santris (students); observation on the pesantrens’ daily life and classroom activities; and relevant documentation. The findings suggest that there are similarities and differences in both pesantrens in the curriculum development processes. Both pesantrens can be classified as Site-Based Managed Schools in which all interactions of the members are permeated with some values. However, Pesantren A has a rather collaborative and goal-oriented curriculum development process, while Pesantren B tended to conduct a single-handed and content-oriented one. The curriculum of Pesantren A is a subject-based curriculum accommodating both religious and non-religious disciplines in relatively the same proportion, whereas that of Pesantren B is a kitab (book)-based curriculum accommodating largely religious disciplines. Overall, it was found that both pesantrens need to conduct more collaborative and systematic curriculum processes. To do so, since ustadzs have a significant influence on the curriculum, there is a need for well-directed and organised professional development programs focusing on pedagogical issues. There is also a need to set some indicators for curriculum evaluation based on the context of Islamic education and immediate societal demands.

Cover title: The role of Dr A. Abdurahman in the modernisation of Islam-oriented schools. / Bibliography: pages 471-494. / This dissertation concerns the modernisation of Islam-oriented schooling in Cape Town and environs whereby Muslim Mission Primary Schools emerge as a socio-cultural compromise between community needs and State school provision policy. It proceeds from the recognition of the cultural diversity that has since the pioneering days characterised the social order of the Mother City. Two religious and cultural traditions have coexisted here in a superordinate and subordinate relationship; one developed a school system for domestication and cultural assimilation, and the other a covert instructional programme for an alternative religious system and behaviour code. The thrust of the argument is that the Islamic community, developed on the periphery of society that excluded non-Christians, were in the main concerned with cultural transmission, first in the homes of Free Blacks during the Dutch regime, and later in the mosques that arose when religious freedom was obtained.

イスラーム教育がタイ深南部におけるマレームスリムの統合に対して果たすメカニズムを、現地におけるイスラーム改革派の動向に着目して考察した。イスラームに基づく改革を志向する人々（イスラーム改革派）と伝統文化を重視する人々（伝統派）の間の対立はイスラーム教育の現場においても顕在化している。イスラーム改革派の動きに注目すると、伝統的なイスラームという共通の「敵」という観点からはタイ政府と協働関係が存在すること、タイへのマレームスリムの統合を促進するかのような役割を果たしていることが明らかとなった。 / Thailand, as a Buddhist majority country, has been trying to accommodate its Muslim population in the southernmost provinces in the course of the history over 100 years. Along with the surge in nationalist-separatist discourse, there has been a lack of attention given to the study of Islamic reform and revival in Thailand. This paper shows more diverse and complicated situation based on the existing research through a historical analysis of Thailand's national policies and in-depth interviews conducted in one of the most conservative areas in the southernmost provinces. / 博士(グローバル社会研究) / Doctor of Philosophy in Global Society Studies / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University

Notre objectif dans cette thèse est de suivre l’évolution du paradigme éducatif et du modèle de citoyenneté véhiculé par l’école tunisienne entre 1958 et 2002 selon les différentes approches adoptées en matière d’éducation civique et islamique à travers les réformes qu’a connu le système éducatif. Des réformes qui ont pris une actualité aiguë premièrement avec la Réforme de 1958 puis après les inévitables examens de conscience provoqués d’abord par la montée de la mouvance islamiste et la crise politique de la fin des années quatre-vingt (Réforme de 1991) et ensuite par rapport aux nouveaux défis liés à la mondialisation et les exigences du vivre ensemble mondial (Réforme de 2002). Dans ce travail, nous analyserons un parcours de plus d’un demi-siècle concernant l’éducation civique et islamique à l’école publique tunisienne. Un parcours qui remet en situation les choix qui ont été faits et les manières dont les principes et les valeurs étaient traduits en contenu éducatif. Il s’agit d’une réflexion sur ce contenu, en adoptant une approche comparative entre continuité et opposition. Notre approche se base sur l’analyse d’un corpus constitué de manuels scolaires et de programmes officiels d’éducation civique et islamique destinés à l’école publique tunisienne. / In this thesis is to follow the evolution of the educational paradigm and model of citizenship conveyed by Tunisian schools between 1958 and 2002 for different approaches in the field of civic and islamic education and through the reforms experienced by the education system. Reforms that have taken a first acute events with the 1958 reform and after the inevitable self-examination caused primarily by the rise of the Islamist movement and the political crisis of the late eighties (Reform 1991) and then compared to the new challenges of globalization and the demands of living together world (Reform 2002). We analyze a course of more than half a century for civic and Islamic education in public school in Tunisia. A course that challenges the status choices was made and the ways in which principles and values were translated into educational content. This is a reflection on the content, adopting a comparative approach between continuity and opposition. Our approach is based on the analysis of a corpus consists of textbooks and official programs of civic and Islamic education in public tunisian school.
