This study investigated the effectiveness of an explicit strategy as a means of linking facts, concepts, and problem solving in an unfamiliar domain of learning. Participants were 37 secondary students with learning disabilities. All students were taught health facts and concepts, which they then applied to problem-solving exercises presented through computer-simulation games. Students in the experimental group were taught an explicit strategy for solving the problems; the comparison group was given supportive feedback and encouraged to induce their own strategies. The explicit strategy group performed significantly better on two transfer measures, including videotaped problem-solving exercises.

Between 1842 and 1852, eleven states adopted new constitutions, simultaneously creating procedures for issuing government debt and for chartering corporations through general incorporation acts. Why simultaneously? Voters wanted geographically specific infrastructure investments but opposed geographically widespread taxation. States resolved the dilemma by developing several innovative public finance schemes. One, “taxless finance,” used borrowed funds and special corporate privileges without raising current taxes. Another scheme, “benefit taxation,” coordinated the incidence of taxes with the geographic benefits of investments through the property tax. After the fiscal crisis of the early 1840s, states changed their constitutions to eliminate taxless finance in the future.

This article examines Ibn Taimiyyah’s thoughts in Islamic Public Finance as contained in several of his books, including the book Majmu’ Fatawa, Al-Siyasah al-Syar’iyyah fi Islah al-Ra’i wa al-Ra’iyyah and the book Al-Hisbah fi al-Islam aw Wazifah al-Hukumah al-Islamiyah. Furthermore, these thoughts are compared with the concept of fiscal policy proposed by John Maynard Keynes in his book The General Theory of Interest and Money. This research is literature study using comparative methods and qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that Ibn Taymiyyah’s thoughts on public finance have the advantage of Islamic values based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, upholding the values of justice, is oriented towards material and spiritual welfare, the existence of a hisbah institution which acts as a supervisor, sources of state revenue paying attention to the aspects of halalness, emphasizing the zakat sector and managing of public ownership. As far the allocation of state expenditures in accordance with the provisions of Islamic law and the benefit of the people. Whereas Keynes fiscal policy is based on man-made regulations, emphasizes state revenue from the tax sector, and is oriented towards material welfare. However, the two concepts have similarities in several state expenditure allocations, including defense and security costs, salaries of state officials, and construction of public facilities. In addition, there are similarities, the role of the state in overcoming unemployment and alleviating poverty.
