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

The Influence of Practice Method on Volleyball Normal Smash Ability Viewed From Leg Muscle Power

Background, students sport achievement in volleyball achievement development activity is not maximum nowadays. This can be proved from volleyball competition result that had been followed by them have not shown satisfying result.This research means to (1) Examine the difference of the influence of part whole part and whole part whole practice method on volleyball achievement development student, (2) Examine the difference of leg muscle on normal smash of volleyball achievement development student, (3) Examine the influence of interaction between practice method and leg muscle power to normal smash ability of volleyball achievement development student. This research is experimental research that means to compare two different treatments to research subject. The research used experimental method with 2x2 factorial design. The sample are 32 using probability sampling technique. Independent variable is part whole part and whole part whole practice method. Attributive variable is high leg muscle power and low leg muscle power. Dependent variable is volleyball smash ability. Data collection techniques in this research are pretest and posttest. Data analysis technique used is Varians analysis (ANAVA). Population in this research is student in volleyball achievement development activity Sebelas Maret University. The Result of this research that student group is given whole part whole practice method have better result compared with student group that is given part whole part practice one (104,37 ˃ 81,75) toward volleyball smash result. In student group having high leg muscle power has better result compared with student group having low leg muscle (112.31>70.87) toward volleyball smash result.

Dampak Sertifikasi Guru terhadap Peningkatan Kualitas Pembelajaran Peserta Didik

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

Comprehensibility of Newly Introduced Water-sport Prohibitive Signs in Korea by Koreans and Westerners

Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the comprehensibility of the newly introduced water-sport prohibitive signs by the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE, later merged into the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy) among Koreans and westerners, and to check whether the comprehensibility is affected by cultural differences. Background: The Ministry of Knowledge Economy had newly introduced fourteen water-sport prohibitive signs at the end of 2011 to alert people to potentially dangerous situations. However, no studies had been found so far to review or assess their comprehensibility. Method: Comprehensibility tests of fourteen water-sport prohibitive signs were conducted with forty Koreans and forty Westerners in two sequential sessions. In session I, participants were asked to guess the meaning of each sign verbally in an open-ended test. In session II, participants were encouraged to provide feedback for each sign after its intended meaning was given. Results: Only two out of fourteen signs satisfied the comprehension rate (67%) recommended by ISO standard for both groups (Koreans and Westerners). Cultural difference between Koreans and westerners significantly affect the comprehension rates of the investigated signs, and Westerners exhibit better overall comprehension than Koreans. Five poorly comprehended signs for both Korean and Western groups were identified. Conclusion: The recently introduced water-sport prohibitive warning signs by MKE still need a lot of improvements in order to be implemented nationally or internationally. There were significant differences in the signs' comprehensibility between Koreans and westerners. Application: The findings may serve as a useful input for researchers and watersport sign designers in creating easy-to-comprehend safety signs.clos

Students’ mathematical literacy skill in term of gender differences: A comparative study

The emergence of the 21st century requires the younger generation to be able to face increasingly fierce global competition. One of the skills needed by the younger generation in this century is mathematical literacy. This ability needs to be improved in learning at school. One important factor that must be considered in learning mathematics literacy is gender differences. Therefore, this study aims to identify students' literacy abilities and find out the differences between male and female students at Madiun State Middle School. This research uses a quantitative approach in the form of a comparative study. The research sample of 336 students was analyzed using descriptive analysis and the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the study concluded that the ability of female students’ mathematical literacy was much higher than that of male students. Female students excel in terms of representation, modeling, mathematical communication, and problem posing and solving skills. Meanwhile, male students excel in terms of using math symbols and mathematical thinking and reasoning
