Geographic Information System for Schools Mapping in Tugumulyo District, Musi Rawas Regency

School is institution that provide educational services to the community formed by the government in the form of organizational means to educate the nation's life. To guarantee the implementation of good education and in accordance with regulations set by the government, each school or school educational institution must follow accreditation. The spread of school locations certainly makes it difficult to access for assessors when they are going to do an accreditation assessment. In addition, other constraints experienced by the unavailability of school location information can be used as a reference for assessors in the accreditation assessment process. Under these conditions, it will certainly cause problems or obstacles in the accreditation process such as (1) the accreditation assessment process is not on schedule, (2) inaccurate assessment of the schedule, and (3) the quality of the accreditation assessment itself. Based on these conditions, in this study the development of a school mapping geographic information system can be used as a means of information for assessors in conducting accreditation assessments. the results of research that has been done show that geographic information systems can provide information on the distribution of schools both middle and upper levels. The information system can also function properly based on test results

Sistem E-Document dan E-Meeting Sebagai Manajemen Pengetahuan untuk Menuju Tata Kelola Yang Baik Pada Universitas Pembangunan Jaya

The Knowledge in a study program or faculty at Higher Education is an asset that must be utilized by universities. Explicit knowledge can be in the form of meeting attendance, meeting schedules, minutes of meetings, teaching materials, documentation of the final session, letters (SK, ST, contract letters, etc.), certificates, reports, guidelines, manuals , memos, strategic plans, curriculum and so on. However, knowledge cannot be easily accessed by cross study programs or cross faculties at the college. Some study programs have done documentation so well that it has an impact on satisfying accreditation assessments. Study programs that have satisfactory accreditation can be an example for other study programs. A knowledge management system is needed to bridge the distance between study programs that have good governance and others. The results of the knowledge management system testing allow for the exchange of knowledge to become a means of improving the quality of governance both at the study program level and at the faculty level.

Evaluation and Countermeasures of the Implementation of Forensic Clinical Identification Standards Based on the Perspective of Accreditation.

The new Standardization Law, implemented in 2018, has added a standard post-implementation evaluation system, aiming to continuously improve the quality of standards through post-implementation evaluation. Standards in the forensic science field are closely related to accreditation activities. Forensic science standards are not only the criteria on which accreditation activities are carried out, but also one of the key contents of the inspection of forensic science institutions in accreditation activities. Since 2018, the certification and accreditation policies in the forensic science field have also been changed, which has brought impacts on the construction of a standard system based on accreditation.This paper analyzes the standard data from China National Accreditation Center from Conformity Assessment on forensic clinical identification accreditation assessment. It points out that the current coverage of laboratory accreditation activities is limited, the development in different provinces is unbalanced, and there is overlap and crossover in the standards in use. It is emphasized that the construction of the national forensic science standardization technical committee, the improvement of the forensic science standard system, the establishment of the standard implementation evaluation index system, and promotion of the coordination of standards, and the certifications and accreditations should be accelerated, in order to continue to promote the standardization and accreditation activities in the field of forensic science.

Strengthening Governmental Effectiveness Through Improved Public Administration Education And Training: The United Nations/ IASIA Task Force And The Creation Of The International Commission On Public Administration Education And Training (ICAPA)

The aim of this article is to identify and outline the relationship between governmental effectiveness and public administration education and training. The recognition of some very basic realities of the worldwide political and governmental context within which public administrators of necessity must work is highly significant for this relationship. These basic realities are revealed and discussed. The new challenges place new demands upon the institutions preparing people to manage the governments and require a renewed attention to the manner in which the next generation of public administrators will be educated and the quality of education and training provided for them. The efforts to enhance the quality of the education and training led to the establishment of the International Commission on Accreditation of Public Administration Education and Training Programs (ICAPA) by the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration (IASIA). The article deals with the developed eight Standards of Excellence which, on the one hand, serve as the basis for IASIA accreditation assessments and, on the other, serve to provide critically needed guidance for encouraging greater excellence in education and training activities. In this way, building of more effective government is a consequence of promoting excellence in public administration education and training.

The Capstone ePortfolio in an Undergraduate Public Health Program: Accreditation, Assessment, and Audience.

The Bachelor of Science in Public Health (BSPH) degree program at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte) was launched in 2007, and was initially accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health in 2009. We admit approximately 40–45 students each fall to the upper division major, through a competitive admissions process. During the junior and senior years, BSPH majors complete a core set of required courses including internship; 18 credit hours of restricted electives; and any minor offered by the university (except public health). During 2014–2015, the Department of Public Health Sciences was one of five campus units supported by UNC General Administration to pilot the use of ePortfolios as a tool to help students integrate learning across the courses that make up the major. The pilot program continued for 2 additional years, to promote enduring faculty efforts. We subsequently outline the development and implementation of ePortfolio pedagogy in the BSPH program at UNC Charlotte, including preliminary assessment of outcomes the past 3 years. The adoption of ePortfolios has been instrumental in students' educational experiences for over 2 decades. The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) has advocated that “ePortfolios allow faculty and other educational professionals to help students organize their learning; preserve the variety of forms in which their learning occurs; and reflect upon their learning.” We have learned that effective student ePortfolios do not arise in a vacuum. In collaboration with like-minded campus colleagues including those associated with the university's Communication Across the Curriculum program, we have encountered contributing forces related to the process of “collection, selection, and reflection” including intentional assignments that yield effective student artifacts; and authentic feedback to students through adoption and modification of the AAC&U VALUE rubrics. We conclude that internal and external forces drive the development of ePortfolio content; students embrace opportunities to document learning when those opportunities are structured; the development of the ePortfolio is relational—consistent with student attributes; and ePortfolios enable evidence-based approaches to meet accreditation demands, assessment needs, and workforce expectations.

Aplikasi Prediksi Kelulusan Mahasiswa Berbasis K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN)

Students are important assets for an educational institution and for this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to the student's graduation rate on time. Presentation of the ups and downs of students' ability to complete their studies on time is one of the elements of campus accreditation assessment. Based on data from the Study Program Section in the last 3 years the student graduation presentation is only 25% of the total students who can complete their studies on time. In this study using the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm which aims to be able to identify student graduation in new cases by adapting solutions from previous cases that have closeness to new cases. This algorithm has the role to get the value of the closeness of the new case to the old case, which in turn the most population in area K with the closest value obtained by the student is predicted whether to pass on time or not on time. This study uses Roger S. Pressman's waterfalll method, namely Communication, Planning, Modeling, and Construction. Based on the tests carried out using K-Fold Cross Validation, the highest accuracy in the third model was 80% when folded 4th and 61% when the K value = 1. While testing using the Confusion Matrix obtained the highest accuracy of 98% at K = 1 for classification "Timely", and 98% at K = 2 for classification "Not Timely"

 School accreditation is public accountability carried out objectively, fairly, transparently and comprehensively. The instruments used in the school accreditation assessment process refer to the National Education Standards which have eight Standard Points. Since there are many standards and criteria that must be met, the school will difficult to fulfill and measure its performance. This study aims to assist schools in carrying out the performance evaluation process, to meet the standards and criteria that refer to the National Education Standards. In this study a system was developed that can help prepare school accreditation, by providing forms that must be filled in by the school and the system will automatically measure school performance, so that the school can find out its weaknesses to be improved immediately. In its development, the Laravel framework was used with PHP, HTML, and JavaScript as a programming language. The development method used was the waterfall method. System testing in this study uses three testing methods, namely unit testing, black box and MOS (Mean Opinion Score).
 
 

CREATING A STANDARDIZED ASSESSMENT FOR COURT ACCREDITATION

The improvement of court’s quality has been done through various efforts, one of them is an accreditation program. Before the implementation of internal accreditation policies, the courts under the Supreme Court had used ISO standards to maintain the service quality. Along with the development of judiciary innovations especially the dream toward the great judiciary, the Supreme Court has developed special accreditation standards for each judicial environment. General Court (Badilum) has implemented the Quality Assurance Accreditation (APM) programme in 7 assessment areas. Afterward, the Religious Courts (Badilag) in addition to 7 APM areas as in Badilum also applied 9 other assessment standards. Furthermore, the Military and Administration Agency (Badilmiltun) has 7 different accreditation assessment areas with Badilum and Badilag. The problem that will be examined is how to determine the ideal criteria for assessing court accreditation. Given that the ideal accreditation standard is not only improving the quality of court services but also being able to meet the needs and expectations of justice seekers, as indicated by the community satisfaction index. The court accreditation standard used today is the adoption of the International Framework of Court excellent (IFCE) and is adapted to the area of Bureaucratic Reform and the oversight function of the Supreme Court. The method of determining accreditation criteria is done by comparing court accreditation standards that have been used with the SERVQUAL model. The SERVQUAL model is an initial model that appears to measure service quality. The results of the study found that a number of court accreditation assessment standards has been represented the dimensions of service quality at SERVQUAL.

Real-Time Temperature Mapping in Ultra-Low Freezers as a Standard Quality Assessment.

Adequate preservation of biospecimens has been proven to be critical to obtain reliable and reproducible results in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and many other assays. Most biological assays can be performed on specimens preserved in -80°C ultra-low freezers, but their quality can be influenced by temperature variability within storage units. Thus, regulatory standards such as those from the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, and standards from the Food and Drug Administration require temperature mapping, a standard quality assessment for accreditation when using ultra-low freezers for long-term biospecimen storage. The current mapping methods, providing annual/periodic data, may not be adequate indicators of temperature stability within the different zones of the freezers. In addition, they frequently require manual handling of biospecimens periodically, as they require freezers to be emptied or rearranged temporarily for the installation of temperature probes, risking the integrity of biospecimen quality. In this article, we describe a novel monitoring methodology based on real-time temperature reading of multiple zones by permanently installing thermocouples. An online cloud-based application records temperature variations within 1 minute intervals, and its 24/7 alert system triggers text alarm messages to a predefined set of users when temperature values increase above preset defaults. This provides an opportunity to take remedial action and to obtain a better-quality assessment. Our results indicate that real-time temperature monitoring at multiple zones of a freezer with a 1 minute resolution is a stable and sustainable methodology and, most importantly, lowers the risk of compromising the quality of the biospecimen. The design and use of the real-time monitoring system for ultra-low freezers is one of the acceptable methods by CAP to ensure the stability of biospecimen quality during long-term storage.
