The level of Marzano higher-order thinking skills among polytechnic students

This study aims to identify polytechnic students' level of Marzano Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) based on two dimensions, 'Extension and Refinement of Knowledge' and 'Meaningful Use of Knowledge,' and to analyze the difference in the students' level of Marzano HOTS based on these two dimensions depending on the students' demographic factors. This study design was a survey using quantitative methods. A total of 313 students were randomly selected as the survey sample. A questionnaire in the form of closed-ended questions was used as the research instrument. Data were analyzed using frequency percentage and MANOVA test. The findings showed no significant differences in the eight HOTS in the dimension of 'Extension and Refinement of Knowledge' with the gender and socio-economic status (SES) factors. However, there were significant differences in the eight HOTS with the academic achievement factor. Meanwhile, based on the dimension of 'Meaningful Use of Knowledge,' the findings showed no significant differences in the five HOTS in this dimension with the gender and academic achievement factors. The paper includes implications of the Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) for students to improve their academic performance. In future research, the authors can further identify university students' HOTS levels in the technical area

Taman Wisata Kopeng Di Kabupaten Semarang Dengan Pendekatan Konsep Arsitektur Vernacular

Pariwisata saat ini telah berkembang lebih dari sekedar melakukan perjalanan ke suatu tempat atau lokasi, namun berinteraksi dengan masyarakat sekitar dan adanya kecenderungan pada kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan alam serta keperdulian terhadap lingkungan. Kecenderungan baru dalam bidang pariwisata ditandai dengan semakin banyak wisatawan yang tertarik mengunjungi daerah-daerah terpencil yang jarang dijamah wisatawan masal seperti arung jeram, safari, kemping, mendaki gunung hingga tinggal di pondokan desa terpencil. Belantara tropika di seluruh kepulauan Indonesia merupakan suatu tujuan ekowisata yang memiliki nilai khas budaya yang tinggi serta keunikan alam yang merupakan potensi pengembangan wisata yang harus dikelola dengan baik. Kawasan Wisata Kopeng merupakan salah satu tujuan ekowisata Kecamatan Getasan yang terdiri dari: Penginapan Kartika Wisata, Bumi Perkemahan Umbul Songo, dan pos Pendakian Gunung Merbabu di dusun Tekelan. Pengelolaan obyek yang ada di Kawasan Wisata Kopeng cenderung berdiri sendiri-sendiri dan kurang melibatkan peranserta masyarakat dalam pengelolaan dan pengambilan keputusan yang berkaitan dengan pengembangan pariwisata baik dari segi promosi maupun penyediaan sarana prasarana penunjang sehingga dinilai kurang kompetitif. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya penentuan strategi pengembangan yang dapat memaksimalkan potensi wisata yang ada serta mampu mengenalkan Kawasan Wisata Kopeng pada khalayak yang lebih luas. Potensi Kawasan Wisata Kopeng mencakup kegiatan di sektor pariwisata dan sektor pertanian.

Does Ethico-Moral Coalition Complement to Economic Coalition? A Response in the Periphery of Islamic Economics

Abstract: Purpose – To reason whether the ethical–moral cum economic coalition among the different sets of economy is more efficient with objectives of Islamic Shariah. Design/methodology/approach – This is a theoretical paper based on the modified model of layers of economic coalition which was initially developed by W. Leontief and P.N.

Practical implications – A dynamic cum marginal input–output table can be constructed on the basis of this framework. Originality/value – This research is beneficial to the researchers, policy makers and social scientists for the enhancement of the level of social welfare through this coalition
