These include a lack of commitment and motivation, lack of experience and exposure to publishing, and inadequate information,knowledge and skills to access accredited journals. Academics also suffer from work overload, a lack of support from the university to publish, and challenges emanating from journals themselves. It is recommended thatthe university, the Ethiopian Ministry of Science and Higher Education and other relevant stakeholders should collaborate to address this situation.

AbstractIAIN Curup, as an Islamic higher education institution, demands the students to master al-Qur'an. One of the steps towards the mastery of the Qur’an is through the activities of tahsin (reciting) al-Qur'an implemented by Ma'had al-Jamiah (college dormitory) of IAIN Curup. Therefore, this study aimed to see the role of Ma'had al-Jamiah of IAIN Curup in overcoming the students' low mastery of al-Qur'an, by paying attention to the results of Ma'had al-Jamiah programs consisting of the practicum of tahsin al-Qur'an and students’ worship practicum. These activities already ran for three semesters. However, it was still found the students who could not read al-Qur'an well and could not perform the prayers properly. This study employed a qualitative approach. The data were obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation, which were then analyzed by using a qualitative approach. Thus,  the following conclusion was drawn: First, the Ma'had Al-Jami'ah programs were quite representative in improving students’ mastery of al-Qur’an; Second, ma'had activities applied a semi-Islamic boarding school education model in a classical form; Third, Ma'had al-Jamiah’s policies concerning the subjects of Tahsin Al-Qur’an, Worship Practicum I, and Worship Practicum II as the requirements to take part in KPM (Community Service Program), PPL (pre-service teaching program), Internship, comprehensive exams, and Munaqasyah (thesis exams) really stimulated students to master reciting al-Qur'an.AbstrakIAIN Curup sebagai lembaga pendidikan tinggi Islam, dituntut agar mahasiswanya mengusai al- Qur’an. Salah satu langkah menuju kemampuan penguasaaan al-Qur’an tersebut adalah melalui kegiatan tahsin al-Qur’an sebagai mana yang di laksanakan oleh Ma’had al-Jamiah IAIN Curup. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini berusaha melihat peran ma’had al-Jamiah IAIN Curup dalam mengatasi rendahnya penguasaan al-Qur’an mahasiswa IAIN Curup, dengan memperhatikan hasil kegiatan Ma’had yang mencakup praktikum tahsin al-Qur’an dan praktikum  ibadah kemahasiswaan. Kegiatan tersebut sudah berjalan selama tiga semester. Namun masih ditemukan mahasiswa belum bisa membaca al-Qur’an dengan baik dan belum bisa melaksanakan ibadah shalat dengan baik. Penelitian ini menggukanakan pendekatan kualitatif. Data diperoleh dari hari hasil wawancara, pengamatan dan dokumentasi, selanjutnya dianalisis dengan pendekatan kualitatif sehingga diperoleh simpulan: Pertama Program Ma’had Al-Jami’ah cukup representatif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi mahasiswa di bidang al-Qur’an; Kedua kegiatan ma’had menawarkan menerapkan model pendidikan semi pondok pesantren dalam bentuk klasikal; Ketiga Ma’had al- Jamiah IAIN Curup menjadikan ketiga materi (Tahsin al-Qur’an, Praktek Ibadah I dan II sebagai syarat untuk bisa mengikuti KPM, PPL, Magang, Komprehensif dan sidang Munaqasyah) sangat memacu mahasiswa dalam penguasaan bacaan al-Qur’an.

Investigation Methods

Educational system is the most important social institution, which provides the development of a personality and frames his/her worldview and the conception of subjective well-being. Despite the large number of studies on the issue of psychological and pedagogical security of educational environment, the sphere of higher education still remains underexplored. The available empiric material has not received sufficient methodological justification and conceptualization. This article aims to provide the conceptualization of the risk category as applied to the educational environment of a higher education institution, as well as empiric investigation of the risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students.Materials and methods. 213 applicants and 547 students of the Kuban State Technological University took part in the survey. The following investigation methods were used: expert assessment, interview, questioning, content analysis, analysis of means method, cluster analysis and factor analysis.Investigation results. Comparative examination of the manifestation degree of risks within the educational environment as viewed by applicants and students of higher education institution showed significant differences in the assessment of risk by these groups of respondents. From the point of view of applicants, the main risks are connected with social and psychological aspects of the educational environment of a higher education institution, relations within student groups and interaction with teachers, as well as with the issues related to the educational management and leisure arrangement. As viewed by the students, the risks within the educational environment include external and social and psychological risk factors, motivating risks and risks arising from the learning process organization and management and the related issues. Applicants’ notion of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution was mainly influenced by information they received from media and by the opinion of their relatives and age mates.Consideration and conclusions. It was proved that the applicants’ idea of the risks within the educational environment of a higher education institution is determined by the opinion of people they know personally, however it changes during the process of studying in higher education institution and acquiring their own experience of being within the environment. The investigation results allow creating a model of psychological and pedagogical security within the educational environment of a higher education institution. This model makes it possible to forecast main risks of the educational environment, their development, and evolvement and find solution to them.
