Hybrid Learning Design to Minimize Academic Stress of Digital Natives’ Generation in Accounting Course

The digital natives generation (DNG) tends to experience relatively high academic stress if the learning design does not pay attention to its characteristics and culture. This study aims to develop a prototype of a hybrid learning model to minimise such stress amongst prospective accounting teachers. This hybrid learning design combines face to face and online learning using the Design-Based Research (DBR) method with stages of problem analysis when learning, and the development of solutions based on principles and theory. Questionnaires, interviews, FGDs and literature studies were used to collect data which were analysed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. The study found that the DNG experiences relatively high academic stress in the accounting context, so it is necessary to develop a prototype of a flipped classroom-type hybrid learning model by considering its learning style and academic culture and based on the sociocultural revolution theory. This hybrid learning design remains to be tested in further research for its feasibility and effectiveness in minimising DNG academic stress

Semakin meningkatnya pengguna sistem komunikasi wireless dengan mobilitas yang sangat tinggi, maka pengaturan spektrum frekuensi juga semakin sulit. Perlu diketahui bahwa mobilitas dapat menyebabkan terjadinya overlapping dalam penggunaan band frekuensi, sehingga parameter yang utama yang berpengaruh terhadap performance sebuah sistem komunikasi harus diperhatikan. Pada paper ini telah dilakukan investigasi melalui pengukuran level daya terima dari sebuah pemancar menggunakan spectrum analyzer dengan antenna omnidirectional pada frekuensi 700 MHz - 1GHz, tetapi analisa ditekankan pada frekuensi CDMA. Untuk pengambilan sample daerah pengukuran dibagi dalam 3 katagori yaitu daerah urban, sub-urban dan rural. Parameter pengukuran meliputi perubahan jarak, lokasi dan ketinggian antenna penerima. Sedangkan skenario pengukuran menggunakan model Okumura-Hata. Data hasil pengukuran digunakan untuk menghitung pathloss, kemudian grafik pathloss digunakan untuk menentukan coverage area. Dari hasil penelitian telah diperoleh sebuah database yang dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui kepadatan frekuensi. Disamping itu telah dilakukan perhitungan pathloss yang digunakan untuk menentukan coverage area dari BTS CDMA yaitu didaerah urban sebesar 1,994km, Sub-urban 2,780km dan Rural 2,960km. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa coverage area sebuah BTS sangat tergantung pada kondisi lingkungan disekitarnya. Informasi tersebut diwujudkan pada sistem informasi geografi dan ditampilkan pada sebuah peta elektronik

Leveling entrepreneurial skills of vocational secondary school students in Indonesia: impact of demographic characteristics

Context: This article aims to determine the entrepreneurial skills of Vocational Secondary School students after the implementation of a new curriculum that promotes entrepreneurship courses in Indonesia. The authors believe that after taking such courses, students will be able to generate entrepreneurial skills. This study also explores the effect of demographic characteristics on students\u27 entrepreneurship skills level, especially with respect to gender, school, and family. Approach: This study used a quantitative approach, with data collected through a questionnaire with five variables, that is, leadership, reflective communication, risk-taking, creatively innovative, and future orientation. Data were collected from 463 students who had taken entrepreneurship subjects that were chosen randomly. Data were analyzed using linear regression. Findings: 52.22% of our respondents had a moderate score for entrepreneurial skills, this is not in accordance with the expected learning outcomes, there are students who have entrepreneurial skills at a high level. With respect to creative innovation, in particular, a majority (53.15%) had a low score and 4.1% had a very low score. Moreover, family had a significant and positive effect on all dependent variables (leadership scores, reflective communication scores, risk-taking scores, creatively innovative scores, future orientation scores, and overall entrepreneurial skills scores). School demographic characteristics had a significant positive effect on the value of future orientation. These results indicate that private schools tend to strengthen the level of reflective communicative scores. Conclusion: The entrepreneurial skills of most vocational students are middling. This indicates that entrepreneurship subjects at Vocational Secondary schools have not been able to achieve their expected learning outcomes or help students develop entrepreneurial skills at a high level. Thus, further research is needed to determine the causes behind the problem. Schools are expected to be able to establish harmonious relationships by involving families to support the improvement of an informal learning environment that supports the mastery of entrepreneurial skills of vocational students.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji dampak sertifikasi guru terhadap peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran. Secara lebih rinci tujuan tersebut diuraikan sebagai berikut : 1) mengkaji kondisi akademik guru yang telah mendapatkan sertifikat pendidik, khususnya implementasi kompetensi pedagogik dan profesi mereka dalam kaitannya dengan proses pembelajaran, 2) upaya guru untuk mempertahankan sertifikat pendidik yang telah dimiliki, khususnya dalam meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik dan profesional, dan 3) dampak sertifikasi guru terhadap peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran di kelas. Penelitian yang mengambil lokasi di eks Karesidenan Surakarta ini menggunakan pendekatan mixed method dengan memanfaatkan hasil penelitian kualitatif untuk mendisain pendekatan kuantitatifnya. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah simple random sampling untuk pendekatan kuantitatif, sedangkan criterion-based selection digunakan pada saat melakukan penelitian kualitatif. Informan dan sampel yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini adalah 96 orang guru bersertifikasi, 74 guru yang belum bersertifikasi dan 17 kepala sekolah serta 424 siswa. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah wawancara mendalam (in-depth interview), observasi, dokumentasi dan kuesioner. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis interaktif dan statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan: 1) hanya 37% dari guru bersertifikasi yang dapat menyampaikan materi dengan jelas, kemampuan pemanfaatan media dan teknologi pembelajaran, kemampuan mengikuti perkembangan iptek dan inovasi pembelajaran serta pengembangan keprofesian berkelanjutan masih perlu ditingkatkan; 2) diskusi antar sejawat yang mengampu mata pelajaran sama merupakan upaya yang paling diminati untuk mempertahankan profesionalitasnya; 3) guru bersertifikasi belum menunjukkan peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran di kelas secara signifikan. Hal ini antara lain diindikasikan oleh kemampuan menjelaskan materi yang masih kurang, masih kurangnya kemampuan memanfaatkan teknologi pembelajaran (sekitar 25% dinyatakan kurang sampai cukup) dan 20% guru berindikasi kurang memperhatikan keadaan siswa secara individual. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi kepada pemerintah daerah dalam mengembangkan keprofesian berkelanjutan (continuing professional development), bagi para guru pasca sertifikasi dan bahan pertimbangan bagi pemerintah pusat dalam mengembangkan kebijakan yang terkait dengan kesejahteraan guru Indonesia
