Program Latihan Penelitian Ilmu-Ilmu Sosial di Banda Aceh (1974)The Social Science Research Training Programme in Banda Aceh (1974)
Digagas 1971; angkatan pertama ditutup 7 Desember 1974Proposed 1971; first cohort closed 7 December 1974
Sejak 1974, Banda Aceh menjadi tempat pelatihan penelitian ilmu sosial bagi peneliti dari seluruh Indonesia, didanai Ford Foundation. Gagasannya berasal dari usulan Clifford Geertz kepada Ford Foundation pada 1971. Program ini menandai awal pemakaian pendekatan ilmu sosial secara sistematis untuk mengamati Aceh, dengan orientasi Weberian dan Parsonian yang menopang stabilitas dan pembangunan Indonesia. Hasil angkatan pertama dibukukan dalam Segi-Segi Sosial Budaya Masyarakat Aceh, disunting Alfian.
From 1974, Banda Aceh hosted a social science research training programme for researchers from across Indonesia, funded by the Ford Foundation. The idea came from a proposal by Clifford Geertz to the Ford Foundation in 1971. The programme marked the beginning of systematic use of social science to observe Aceh, with a Weberian and Parsonian orientation that supported Indonesia's stability and development. The first cohort's results were published as Segi-Segi Sosial Budaya Masyarakat Aceh, edited by Alfian.
Tujuan resminya adalah meningkatkan kemampuan meneliti dan mutu keahlian para peserta terpilih. Peserta didampingi tenaga ahli utama dari Amerika Serikat atau negara lain dan menerima dana penelitian sebesar Rp 75.000. Seminar pembekalan membahas berbagai segi masyarakat Aceh: struktur sosial, adat, pendidikan dan pendidikan agama, perubahan sosial, ekonomi, ulama, pemerintahan lokal, politik, kebudayaan dan sastra, serta pertahanan dan keamanan. Penelitian dijalankan dengan metode grounded research.
Peserta dipilih melalui seleksi ketat dan beberapa di antaranya kemudian menjadi peneliti terkemuka. Angkatan pertama mencakup antara lain T. Bachtiar Effendi Panglima Polem, Baihaqi A.K., Ismail Muhammad Syah (Ismuha), Karimuddin Hasybullah, dan Sulaiman Hanafiah. Angkatan kedua mencakup antara lain Syamsuddin Abdullah, Moeslim Abdurrahman, dan Nur Anas Djamil. Panitianya diketuai Selo Soemardjan, dengan anggota Koentjaraningrat, A. Madjid Ibrahim, W.H. Makaliwe, Soedjatmoko, Harsja W. Bachtiar, Amran Halim, Radinal Muchtar, dan Peter D. Weldon.
Secara historis, program ini membuka jalan bagi kajian sosiologis tentang Aceh, yang sebelumnya belum dilakukan secara sistematis. Secara kritis, ia juga memperlihatkan bagaimana cara pandang Amerika membentuk arah sosiologi di Aceh. Di Aceh sendiri, fakultas atau jurusan yang khusus mengkaji sosiologi dan antropologi baru muncul setelah era 2000-an. Pertanyaan yang tersisa adalah apakah Sosiologi Aceh dapat lahir dari pendidikan ilmu sosial semacam ini, atau justru menuntut jalan lain.
Its official aim was to improve the research ability and expertise of selected participants. Participants were accompanied by senior experts from the United States or elsewhere and received research funding of Rp 75,000. Preparatory seminars covered many aspects of Acehnese society: social structure, adat, general and religious education, social change, the economy, the ulama, local government, politics, culture and literature, and defence and security. Research was carried out with the grounded research method.
Participants were chosen through strict selection, and several later became leading researchers. The first cohort included T. Bachtiar Effendi Panglima Polem, Baihaqi A.K., Ismail Muhammad Syah (Ismuha), Karimuddin Hasybullah and Sulaiman Hanafiah, among others. The second included Syamsuddin Abdullah, Moeslim Abdurrahman and Nur Anas Djamil, among others. The organising committee was chaired by Selo Soemardjan, with Koentjaraningrat, A. Madjid Ibrahim, W.H. Makaliwe, Soedjatmoko, Harsja W. Bachtiar, Amran Halim, Radinal Muchtar and Peter D. Weldon as members.
Historically, the programme opened the way for sociological study of Aceh, which had not previously been undertaken systematically. Critically, it also shows how an American outlook shaped the direction of sociology in Aceh. In Aceh itself, faculties or departments devoted to sociology and anthropology appeared only after the 2000s. The open question is whether an Acehnese sociology can emerge from this kind of social science training or requires another path.
