This research is descriptive qualitative in nature with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and observations. By using theories from experts who argue that there are several factors that influence work competence, namely, the educational environment. The level of education and training received by employees can influence their work competence. Apart from that, extensive and varied work experience can help employees in dealing with complex problems or situations. Employee motivation is also needed because they tend to work better and produce better results. The skills possessed by employees can improve the quality and productivity of work, as well as ensure that the tasks given can be completed well and on time. The expertise factor has a very big influence on employee competence. This is because the expertise factor includes the knowledge, skills and work experience possessed by employees. The higher the employee's expertise, the better the employee's competence. A high creativity factor can increase employees' ability to solve problems, generate new ideas, and adapt to environmental changes. Creativity is the ability to produce innovative new ideas, creative solutions to problems, and the ability to adapt to environmental changes

DEVELOPING ISLAMIC CONTENT-BASED MATERIALS IN TEACHING VOCABULARY AT ENGLISH DEPARTMENT OF TARBIYAH AND TEACHER TRAINING FACULTY OF IAIN BATUSANGKAR

Due to the limited sources of Vocabulary teaching materials, the researcher was eager to design a model of vocabulary materials assumed needed by te students for their daily conversation. The design was a Research and Development applying descriptive procedure of three model suggested by Borg and Gall (1983) who propose three ways of developing a model of teaching material, namely: procedural, conceptual, theoretical.” Then, he followed the research procedure by Sugiyono (2007: 298) suggesting ten steps of a research and development: (1) identifying research problem, (2) collecting information, (3) designing the product, (4) validating the design, (5) revising the design, (6) testing the product , (7) revising the product, (8) applying the design, (9) re-revising the product , and (10) publishing the prooduct. In validating the model, he asked some comments from experts. Because of limited time and other reasons of doing the research, he just applied the step 1 up to 4. Based on the validation result, it could be concluded that the model had fulfilled the criteria both content and construct validity

PENGEMBANGAN MODEL MATERI AJAR MATA KULIAH BAHASA INGGRIS II BERBASIS KEBUTUHAN MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI AKUNTANSI SYARIAH STAIN BATUSANGKAR

This research is derived from the problem in which there was no available reading material of “Bahasa Inggris II” for accounting students, especially Economic Department of Syariah Faculty of State College for Islamic Studies (STAIN) Batusangkar. Relizing that problem, the researchers designed a model of reading material to teach those students as a solution in order to solve their problem in grasping a specific idea that could be found at any English reading materials, especially relating with accounting terms. In validating the model, they asked some comments from experts. Based on the result of the validation, it could be concluded that the model had fulfilled the criteria as a valid one: content validity and construct validity

ANALISA KEBOCORAN EXPANSION JOINT NO. 5 PADA HRSG UNIT 3.1 DI PT. PJB UP GRESIK DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE THERMOGRAPHY

Kebocoran gas pada Expansion Joint dapat terdeteksi dengan dilakukannya predictive maintenance yaitu dengan menggunakan metode Thermography. Dalam penelitian ini objek yang digunakan adalah Expansion joint no. 5 pada HRSG unit 3.1 di PT. PJB UP GRESIK., penelitian dimulai dengan observasi data dan studi beberapa literature terkait, dilanjutkan dengan mentoring bersama teknisi predictive maintenance, kemudian dilakukan pengambilan gambar actual serta gambar thermography sesuai dengan SOP (Standard Operational Procedure). Pengambilan gambar inframerah dilakukan dengan menggunakan kamera inframerah FLIR T640. Setelah dilakukan pengambilan gambar maka dilakukan analisa dari gambar thermography yang didapat berdasarkan standart EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute). Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa kebocoran expansion joint diakibatkan oleh adanya 3 hal yaitu expansi thermal yang berlebihan, masuknya exhaust gas dari turbin gas kedalam lapisan dalam hingga ke lapisan terluar expansion joint dan pemakaian yang melebihi lifetime expansion joint. Setelah dilakukan perawatan dengan penggantian expansion joint, temperatur expansion joint pada saat mengalami kebocoran adalah 196.2OC menurun menjadi 72.5OC serta differential temperatur yang sebelumnya critical yaitu 128.5OC turun menjadi temperatur normal yaitu 4.8OC "=============================================================================================" The leakage of the expansion joint can be detected by thermography method of predictive maintenance In this research, the object which used is Expansion joint no. 5 on HRSG 3.1 unit at PT. PJB UP GRESIK. The research started from collecting some data at PT. PJB UP GRESIK, and study some literature, continued by mentoring with the technician of predictive maintenance, and then captured some actual picture with some thermography picture based on the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). The picture was taken by using the FLIR T640 infrared camera. The result from the picture that have been taken will be analyzed based on the standard table of EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute). From the research, leakage of the expansion joint are caused by an over thermal expansion, the exhaust gas from gas turbine enter the inner layer to the outer layer of expansion joint and the used of expansion joint that exceeds its lifetime. After maintenance with replacement of expansion joint, the temperature when the expansion joint leaked is 196.2OC decreased to 72.5OC and the differential temperature when the status was critical is 128.5OC decreased to a normal temperature that is 4.8O

WHATSAPP AS A LEARNING TOOL DURING COVID -19 PANDEMIC: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

This present study explores the advantages and disadvantages of WhatsApp (WA) as a learning tool during Covid-19 pandemic. WA is a messaging application that can be installed on smartphones and has many useful features. Researchers are interested in researching since many students and lecturers choose WA as an application for continuous learning while one knows that many applications are actually intended for learning. The design of this research was a mix method (quantitative and qualitative). This research involved 168 respondents as a sample. The instrument of this research was an open-ended questionnaire. To analyze the questionnaire, the researchers used the data analysis based on Miles, Huberman, & Saldana (2014). Three steps were applied: data condensation, data display, and drawing & verifying conclusion. The study concludes that most of the respondents believed that WA has more advantages than disadvantages. The advantages include it is effective and easy to use; the features are helpful, save internet quota, very light, easy to do communication, easy to observe the students. The disadvantages, however, is easy for the students to cheat, old chats are easily piled up by the new chats, the upload size is limited, and member capacity in the group is limited
