<p>The study is intended to describe and analyze the learning method in reading and writing the Qur’an in the perspective of multiple intelligences theory. The study uses qualitative approach and is conducted through library research. Analysis process of the study follows the main steps such as: 1) collecting the references related to the learning method of reading and writing the Qur’an and multiple intelligences theory 2) reviewing the variety of the learning method in reading and writing the Qur’an 3) analyzing the learning method of reading and writing the Qur’an in the perspective of multiple intelligences 4) inferring the conclusion. The study gained some findings as follows: 1) the implementation of learning the Qur’an in the perspective of multiple intelligences proved that intelligence is already internalized into each variety of learning the Qur’an such as linguistic, mathematics, interpersonal, musical, spatial, kinesthetic, and intrapersonal intelligences 2) the study investigates three methods of learning the Qur’an such as Baghdadiyah, Qiroati, and Al-Barqy methods; and it can be inferred that Baghdadiyah method already implements the learning method of the Qur’an in line with the learning system and method of the Qur’an based on multiple intelligence, except naturalist intelligence. Al-Barqy method doesn't accommodate two aspects of intelligence: kinesthetic and naturalist intelligences. Whereas, Qiroati method only implements four aspects of intelligence such as linguistic, mathematics, spatial, and musical intelligences.</p>

This paper discusses the application of the methodologies of Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) and Tabular Task Analysis (TTA), incorporating Human Error Analysis during the detailed design phase of a new reactor. The MAPLE-X10 reactor, currently being developed by AECL Research, is a dedicated isotope production facility, scheduled for commissioning at Chalk River Laboratories, Ontario in 1994. The task analysis process developed for MAPLE-X10 consists of the representation and analysis of task data. The aim is to ensure compatibility between the design of MAPLE-X10 and the characteristics and capabilities of the diverse users of the system. Compatibility will lead to enhanced safety, operability and maintainability. Each stage of the task analysis process is described and discussed, emphasizing the practical application of Hierarchical Task Analysis for task representation, and Tabular Task Analysis for detailed analysis of tasks during which human error may have safety or production related consequences. The benefits of applying the methods of Hierarchical Task Analysis and Tabular Task Analysis to the MAPLE-X10 project are highlighted. These include clear representation of the organization of tasks and interactions between systems in the HTA, continuous feedback to design and operations personnel regarding identified mismatches between existing procedures and the design intent, and cost effectiveness. The multiple uses of the information elicited during the task analysis process are also discussed in this paper. These include design verification, the identification of training requirements and the development / verification of operating procedures. In addition the task analyses provide a framework for other assessments to be completed for the project, such as Human Reliability Analysis, Workload Assessment, Communications Analysis and Training Needs Analysis for Mature Operations.

In this chapter, the authors describe their positions as social justice educators and provide concrete examples for engaging educators in reflection, discussion, and praxis in a required course for preservice teachers in literacy. They describe concrete steps they have taken to incorporate and model a culturally rich pedagogical practice. They both believe that a course that requires reading, writing, and thinking provides a rich backdrop for engaging with preservice teachers about cultural and linguistic diversity and for moving into spaces of working towards equity and justice in society by engaging in action. Given that they each require students to apply what they are learning in the creation of learning centers and final projects, the authors believe their models of practice and praxis along with conversations about the necessity of a social justice stance will manifest in quality work as students design reading and writing assignments of their own.
