EFFORTS TO INCREASE OF LEARNING SUBJECTS PRACTICE ASSEMBLING USING MODULE PERSONAL COMPUTER ASSEMBLING STUDENT CLASS X TKJ 1 AND 2 SMK BATIK PERBAIK PURWOREJO LESSONS YEAR 2011/2012

This study has the objective 1). Knowing Practice Improvement Learning Outcomes Through Use of Computer Assembling Assembling Module Personal Computer Student Class X TKJ 1 and 2 vocational Batik TKJ Perbaik Purworejo Academic Year 2011/2012 2).Students know the response to the Use of Learning Media Module Personal Computer Assembling TKJ Students in Grades 1 and X 2 TKJ Batik Perbaik Purworejo SMK School Year 2011/2012. This study uses a Class Action Research (PTK) with the implementation phase includes the Planning, Implementation Measures, Observation / Evaluation, and Reflection. Data collection methods used in this study were participant observation and questionnaire (questionnaire). For the instrument in this study is the module assembly of personal computers and questionnaires. Data analysis methods used are qualitative analysis. Qualitative methods carried out by Data Reduction, Data Display and Conclusion. Based on the research results can be concluded that 1). Computer Assembling Practice Learning Outcomes Students in general have increased in cycles I and II, namely it happen increase in the number of students who exceed the KMM than 25 students in cycle I to 33 students in Cycle II to class 1 and X TKJ students exceed the number of 23 students KKM in Cycle I to 31 students in Cycle II, or in other words all class X 1 and X TKJ TKJ 2 KKM has met the minimum grades of at least 75. 2). There is a positive response by 90% and a negative response by 10% of students TKJ X 1 and X 2 of the application module TKJ Practice Personal Computer Assembly on learning basic competencies or Installing Computer Peripherals Connecting Physical and peripherals using the Software Settings. Negative response arises because there are several factors: the lack of preparation of students in learning the material practices that sometimes have difficulty in following instructions, the application of constraints in the assembly sequence of steps that inhibit the activity a little practice, the lack of independence of the student in learning the material and the condition of students in participating practical activities for some students. Overall the students are better able to understand the material and improve their skills in personal computer assembly activity, thereby increasing Student Result

The Indonesian digital library network is born to struggle with the digital divide

IndonesiaDLN –The Indonesian Digital Library Network– is a distributed collection of digital library networks, digital library servers, full local contents, metadata, and people for the development of the Indonesian knowledge-based society. Beside the general issues of digital library such as publishing, quality control, authentication, networking, and information retrieval, we also face other issue –namely digital divide– in designing and implementing the Network. This paper describes basic design of the Network that able to handle the typical problems in developing digital library network in Indonesia as a developing country, such as internet accessibility, bandwidth capacity, and network delays. We also will describe our experiences in implementing the Network that currently has 14 successfully connected partners and more than 15 partners are in progress of developing their digital library servers

The Effectiveness of Private Versus Public Schools in Indonesia: Comment

I reestimate Bedi and Garg estimation of differential earnings of public-private junior secondary school in Indonesia. I replicate Bedi and Garg method by using Bedi and Garg’s sample data and creating a new sample data base on the original updated IFLS1 data (Indonesia Family Life Survey 1 codename IFLS1-RR). I use the same methodology as Bedi and Garg with the latest Stata command to confirm Bedi and Garg’s major conclusion. Using selmlog and decompose Stata techniques, I find the evidence that contradictive with Bedi and Garg’s conclusion as the public schools graduated earn higher than other graduates from private schools.School effectiveness, earnings, Indonesia

School Choice and Earnings: A Case of Indonesia

Public schools in Indonesia are widely perceived have better inputs and to be superior to private schools. Public schools also benefit advantages of high-scoring peer effect as entry to some junior secondary public schools in urban area is based on national score test in elementary school. In this paper, I attempt to confirm the perception of superiority of public school in Indonesia by comparing the yearly earnings of four types of schools group; Public, Private Secular, Private Islam, and Private Christian. I use a large-scale longitudinal observation of individual and household level on socioeconomic and health survey, Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2000 to estimate the effectiveness junior secondary education in Indonesia. To correct for sample selection bias, I use the two-step method proposed by Bourguignon et al. As a result of insignificant all selectivity bias coefficients, I use the OLS estimation to calculate the earnings decompositions. The insignificant selection bias coefficients suggest that the OLS estimation is unbiased. I use the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition with Reimers’ decomposition technique to estimate earning differential between public and three types of private school graduates. The results of earnings decomposition from OLS estimation, suggest that earning of people who graduate from public school are 25 per cent and 35.2 per cent higher than their counterparts from private nonreligious and private Islam. On the other hand, student who schooled at private Christian school enjoys 0.28 per cents higher earnings that public.Parent choice, Education, School effectiveness, earnings, Indonesia
