Evaluation of curriculum development is one of the main activities in the implementation of education which is carried out periodically, that is, once every four years. This activity is based on the assumption that during this period there have been developments in science and technology as well as various changes in various fields of life: social, economic, cultural, and the needs of the business and industrial world, both at the local, national and global levels. These various changes must be responded to by the world of education, including through the development of its curriculum. In this way, education is always present in overseeing the process of the journey of human existence in life journey. The Islamic Religious Education Study Program at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta is one of the oldest study programs within UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The graduate profile of this study program includes preparing graduates to have competency insights, attitudes, and skills related to teaching assignments in the field of Islamic religion for madrasas and schools. In connection with changes in the qualifications and quality of input competencies (prospective students) in mastering the basics of religious knowledge, as a result of the change in the type of madrasah education from what was originally an educational institution that prepared experts in Islamic religious studies, to become a public school with religious characteristics, resulting in the profile of PAI graduates as mentioned above being difficult to realize. Likewise, the policy of the Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG) in the last four years has resulted in teacher competence or pedagogical competence, as one of the professional teacher competencies which was originally the responsibility of the PAI curriculum, has been taken over by PPG. The change in the nature and type of madrasah and the birth of the PPG necessitated a review of the current PAI curriculum. Writing that uses data from library research (library research), and data from field research, in the form of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, presented in a qualitative descriptive and dialectical analysis concludes, about the need to develop Islamic education curriculum to answer challenges and the problems it faces. These challenges include the existence of the PPG policy which takes part of the PAI curriculum content in the field of the teaching profession; the change of madrasas into public schools with a religious spirit which causes madrasah graduates to lack sufficient mastery of the basics of religious knowledge, as well as challenges of globalization which require the presentation of religious teachings that are more scientific in nature.

Faith-BasedOrganizations (FBO)have become common vehicles for integral human development among religious groups in Africa. The major conundrum is on measuringprograms‟ effectiveness in the light of FBO governance.For a long time, religious institutions have not allowed their governance structures to be exposed to external assessments and evaluations based on the assumption that acts of charity or works of mercyby religious leaders do not need to be subjected to secular scrutiny.This assumption is now challenged by the advent of modern governance practiceswhose focus is on the primacy of accountability and alignment with organizational vision and mission. This study takes a critical look at the relevance of Private and Voluntary Organization‟sregistrationrequirements in relation to the core business of Faith-Based Organizations of promoting integral human development. Thearticle advocates for an evaluation approach that seeks to align the measurement ofFBO governance effectiveness with the overallspirituality of the religious institution.

Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) such as the famous Final Fantasy series usually carry imaginary wonders and magical elements. They show exceptional tales that express an extraordinary journey of their characters. This study aimed to analyze the hero quest of JRPG character named Squall, the main protagonist in Final Fantasy VIII. He is a student in a military academy called Balamb Garden who strives to be a SeeD mercenary. Starting as a lone wolf in his story, Squall’s adventure has him gradually change and open up to people more as he and his found friends get involved in a mission of saving the world from sorceresses. This paper also sought to show that video games like JRPGs has hero stories that follow the narrative framework of the Hero’s Journey.
This research used literary criticism, which applied the monomyth to address the research questions. The data was taken from the scripted narrative content of Final Fantasy VIII. In other words, these were the cutscenes, dialogue and other predetermined narratives that were watched and read rather than played with. I, the researcher, collected the data by identifying and classifying relevant citations from the game. I also analyzed the data by explaining or describing game scenes based on Caserta’s version of the Hero’s Journey.
The conclusion of the study found Squall to be a complex hero. From a teenager who broodily expressed inner angst, he gradually had his persona of aloofness and indifference slowly crumble beneath the burden of problems that piled up on and around him, as well as the personal feelings that started to form within him. The gradual changes had him progress and complete the twelve stages of Caserta’s monomyth model and overcome his obstacles.
To the author’s knowledge this is the only study to explore the Hero’s Journey of Squall in Final Fantasy VIII. The study also implies the potential use of JRPGs like Final Fantasy as objects of study in English and literature classrooms. This invites a discussion and provokes a conversation about the role of video games in educational settings. Also, the findings add to the literature on literary, narrative, and instructional value of video games.

In the recent past there has been dramatic increase in frequency and intensity of floods all over the world, both in developed and developing nations due climate change. Crops, settlements and infrastructure have been destroyed wherever flooding occurs. But Sustainable Land Management Technologies (SLMT) is the cornerstone of formalized action for reducing such natural hazard. The severity of damage as a result of floods has been documented to have a relationship with the land management technologies. Overuse on the Land resource has been increasing and limited capacity to practice SLMT led onto land degradation and enhancing flood risk in Western region Kenya. Similarly due to lack of determining the type and extent of the existing SLMT has affected efforts to design and plan for proper intervention measures. Descriptive design was employed and Data collected using Questionnaires, interview schedules and Focus group discussion guide. Data analyzed using Scientific Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). Descriptive statistics was in the form of percentages and frequencies.

The Nigerian civil war, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War, started in 1967 and lasted till 1970. It was three years of bitter existential experience, and since then, the Nigerian civil war has arguably remained the most written-about topic in Nigeria's literary and scholarly sphere. Although several works have been published on the Nigerian civil war, women's contributions in that war are yet to receive critical attention. This study examined a Nigerian civil war text, Destination Biafra, written by Buchi Emecheta (1994). The text highlighted the roles played by the female protagonist, Debbie; the paper argues that Debbie's role in the text is representative of the roles of women in that war and everyday life. Further, the paper questions the politics of representation, which downplays women's roles and argues the need for women to liberate themselves from all society's limitations to live to their full potential as Debbie didin Destination Biafra.
