This paper depicts how a conceptual framework for teacher clinical experience and induction was formulated in a five-year research programme funded by the Malaysian Ministry of Education. The framework is an outcome of research idea conceptualization, which is meant for the development of a teacher clinical experience and induction model. It depicts specific analytical propositions that shape the key concepts associated to teacher education, which in turn illustrates how these concepts relate to each other and forms the conceptual framework. This paper also demonstrates how relevant middle range theories support the personal, professional and contextual dimensions of clinical experience in teacher education. The theorysupported framework was enriched by five evidence-based guiding principles, leading to the creation of a provisional model that can direct the administration and supervision of trainee teachers when they undertake clinical experience and induction in actual schools..

Beberapa orang ilmuwan Islam termasuk Mohd Kamal Hassan (selepas ini disebut Kamal Hassan) telah melaungkan konsep wasatiyyah bagi menerangkan yang Islam tidak begitu. Penyelidikan ini bercorak kualitatif dan menggunakan kaedah deskriptif, analisis dan sintesis. Konsep wasatiyyah adalah satu ajaran Islam yang sangat kukuh. Konsep in berasal daripada al-Qur’an dan pemahaman mengenainya disokong oleh Hadith Nabi SAW, pentafsir al-Qur’an seperti Sheikh Abdullah Basmeih, Ibnu Kathir, Muhammad Asad, Sayyed Qutb, Wahbah Az-Zuhaili dan Yusuf al-Qardhawi.
