Teori Kompetensi: Ulasan dari Perspektif Kemahiran Digital

This study discusses the theory of competency which focusing on the aspects of the digital skills in learning. Competency is associated with the measurement of performance shown in a given task. The main issue identified emphasizes the lack of a competency standard for digital skills assessment. Thus, a more in-depth study has been conducted to identify the theories that can be used to assess competency. This qualitative research applied the document content analysis approach to identify the three theories competency that is commonly used by researchers: (i) Theory of Boyatzis (1982-2008), (ii) Cheetam and Chivers (1996) and (iii) Theory of Spencer and Spencer (1993). The comparisons of these three theories were conducted to reveal similar elements according to the importance of the study. Furthermore, it was discovered that the competency elements can be classified into (i) Personal Competence, (ii) Skill Competence and (iii) Knowledge Competence. It is hoped that these threeelements of competency can serve as the basis for developing a research instrument for digital skillsfor future studies.

Using practitioners’ voices in developing a business rescue practitioner expert profile

The study explored how business rescue (BR) practices can inform the development of an occupation profile needed to lay a foundation for developing business rescue practitioners’ occupation-specific qualifications. There are 11 professional organisations whose members qualify to serve as business rescue experts. The relevant occupation cannot have more than one occupation expert profile. The study employed qualitative approaches that entailed semi-structured interviews with 20 informants (12 business rescue practitioners, four short skills development programme (SSDP) managers, and 4 SSDP facilitators) and qualitative document content analysis of 30 court cases settled on the BR. The 12 business rescue practitioners (BRP) were randomly selected. However, other informants were accessed through a purposeful sample selection process. The field findings show that the BRP occupation in South Africa is a regulated practice area without an occupation expert profile. The BR practices have not been incorporated in a qualification framework registered on the Qualification Framework (NQF) governed by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA). Development of pipeline talent is limited, and the monitoring of SSDPs encounters limitations without an occupation expert profile and an occupation-specific qualification. The BR practices can be categorised into 11 tasks linked to practitioner training disciplines. The existing SSDPs provide an important mechanism for continuing professional development. However, the contents should be linked to BR practices and an occupation profile embracing the BRP role as an interim managing director in a business rescue process. The uniqueness of this article resides in its documentation of BR practices generated from multiple data sources that should be used to develop an occupation expert profile that reflects BRP’s capability. The setting of the BR process requires experts to operate in the capability realm.

Knowledge sharing between subsidiary and headquarters: A framework proposal

The pharmaceutical industry (PI) is recognized as a knowledge-intensive industry. Based on the perspective of managers in the subsidiary, this research proposes actions to facilitate knowledge sharing in the relationship between subsidiary and headquarters in a multinational pharmaceutical company. An exploratory case study was conducted. Data were collected from documental content analysis and fourteen interviews with managers from various areas and departments. The benefits include the possibility of participating in global projects and the resultant positive exposure accrued by the subsidiary. While the predominant knowledge flow is from the headquarters to the subsidiary, there is an opportunity to expand the flow in the opposite direction. Based on this study, actions designed to mitigate this point of disruption can be undertaken. This research offers a framework that encompasses the flow of knowledge, the main facilitators and barriers to knowledge sharing between geographically dispersed multinational units, as well as the knowledge sharing mechanisms.

Who is to blame? Stories of European Union migration governance in Italian, Maltese, and Spanish newspapers

AbstractWhile scholars have investigated how media frame human mobility and securitize irregular border crossings, little research has been dedicated to how European Union (EU) actors are portrayed in media coverage of migration across the Mediterranean. By integrating framing into narrative analysis through the Narrative Policy Framework, our article fills this gap. Specifically, we provide a content analysis of Italian, Maltese, and Spanish newspapers and identify the key narratives underlying the portrayal of specific EU actors. We show that, overall, lack of EU solidarity is the prevalent issue in Italian, Maltese, and Spanish newspapers alike, followed by the alleged inefficiency of EU actors. Accordingly, the EU and its key actors are regularly narrated as either villains, responsible for the crisis and deserting member states in need of solidarity, or as weaklings unable to take effective action. These narratives appear remarkably consistent across countries, over time, and newspapers with different ideological orientation.

Shifting perceptions or shifting attention? The local press, Venezuelan migration, and hostile perceptions in Colombia

Social protests were crucial to the election of Colombia's progressive government in 2022. However, it's role in the violence against Venezuelan migrants that preceded it is still unclear. This paper examines racial bias in media responses to Venezuelan migrants during Colombia's 2019-2021 social protests. Theorists suggest that structural changes like migration can normalize hostility against vulnerable groups when specific conditions increase hostile perceptions. Colombia's press has not been scrutinized for misanthropic and hostile views, focusing on xenophobic urban riots that occurred alongside social protests in November 2019. We conducted a content analysis of Colombian newspapers, linking migration, violence, and protests, along with public migration data from Venezuela. Our findings reveal that social movements in Colombia intersect with contemporary Venezuelan migration, highlighting the ambivalence of social protests. While protests may have shifted attention away from racist attributions toward Venezuelan migrants, they do not signify a new perception of vulnerable populations.

THE LEGAL CONSTRUCTION OF MANGROVE PROTECTION IN CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION: LEGAL STUDY ON THE SOUTH SULAWESI SCALE

Mangroves are coastal ecosystems that play a vital role in protecting the environment and the economy, as well as aiding climate change mitigation. The mangrove rehabilitation program in South Sulawesi is a strategic step by the government to ensure the sustainability of coastal environments. The success of these efforts depends on the participation of all stakeholders. The aim of this research is to identify the impacts and implications of constitutional legal protection on the conservation, restoration, and management of mangrove ecosystems as part of climate change mitigation strategies in South Sulawesi. This research utilizes normative legal research methods with a focus on the legal framework related to Mangroves and Climate Change in South Sulawesi, exploring legal sources such as laws, regulations, and relevant legal documents, and applying document content analysis techniques and constitutional legal approaches to identify potential legal improvements in protecting mangroves and addressing climate change in the region. The research findings indicate that legal protection in South Sulawesi plays a crucial role in preserving and restoring the mangrove ecosystem and mitigating climate change. The enforcement of Law No. 32 of 2009 and local regulations provides a strong legal foundation for safeguarding the mangrove ecosystem through land permit restrictions and the establishment of conservation areas. Mangrove preservation policies are also applied at the national level with the support of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Operational Plan. South Sulawesi, through its regional mangrove working group, plays a key role in coordinating mangrove preservation efforts at the regional level. Furthermore, the role of the Indonesian President in the G20 Presidency underscores Indonesia's commitment to climate change mitigation, highlighting the preservation of the mangrove ecosystem as an example for other countries. With collaboration and community awareness, South Sulawesi has the potential to become a successful model in mangrove preservation and climate change mitigation, despite challenges such as economic issues, public awareness, and climate change

The Regulatory Status of Functional Foods in the Economic Integration Organizations of Latin America and the Caribbean

The legal declarations on functional foods of the four main economic integration organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) – Pacific Alliance (PA), Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and Central American Integration System (SICA) - are based on the Codex Alimentarius system and do not regulate functional foods. The use of Codex in food marketing is an insufficient condition for its application in functional foods. Regulation based on scientific and technology results are required to be used in the economic integration organizations of LAC. Objective. The objective is to analyze the theoretical framework of the legal foundations that could govern the commercialization processes of functional foods, whose research advances have currently only been manifested in nutritional health. This article also seeks to address this gap through a systematic analysis of international regulations. Materials and methods. For this, a review of the literature emanating from two databases from 2018-2023 is carried by applying the legal-economic research method of documentary content analysis, applied to three general food marketing regulations: food safety declarations, regulations for inspections, food manufacturing and food labeling. Results. The results reveal the absence of specific legislation for functional foods in LAC economic integration organizations. Conclusions. The legal principle of marketing based on peremptory norm (also called jus cogens) can be facilitated through side letters, included in the contents of international contracts. along with the registration requirements of industrial property rights of the member countries associations.

Kaedah Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah (PBD) dan Kesannya Kepada Murid Tahap Satu: Analisis Subjek Pendidikan Islam/ Classroom Assessment Method (PBD) And Its Impact On Level One Pupils: Analysis Of Islamic Education Subjects

Teachers frequently employ testing techniques as an assessment tool. However, in October 2018, the Minister of Education stopped the evaluation using this testing technique. When parents questioned the impartiality of instructors in evaluating their children’s accomplishments, the outcomes of the removing the examination caused negative response. Additionally, they lack clarity and comprehension of the teacher’s methodologies and procedures for evaluation. This article produced to understand the Classroom Assessment Method (PBD) and how it affects level one students studying Islamic Education. The philosophy behind this study is interpretive, while the study strategy is case studies. The study also adapted qualitative design with data collection methods using a combination of document content analysis techniques and semi-structured question interviews. The content analysis approach was used in the data analysis. Thematic methods are used in this study to categorise the results. There are three methods used by teachers in assessing level one students – 1) observation 2) writing and 3) oral methods. However, the assessment using these three methods in determining the level of mastery (TP) of the pupils is very subjective. Thus, two effectswas identified on the application of PBD, namely, the reduced burden of teachers’ duties related to the examination and the occurrence of teacher injustices in the PBD process. In this context, the report recommends that the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) PBD system undergo revisions to ensure that level one students get assessed equitably. Teachers should also employ the scoring rubric while implementing the three established PBD assessment techniques. After further research on other topics, it is also appropriate to revaluate the PBD approach. In addition, the scoring rubric should be used by teachers in the implementation of PBD assessment using three predefined methods.

Image Creation about Africa Within the State-Owned Media Space: A Content Analysis of the Ghanaian Times Newspaper

This study attempted to find out the various images or themes that the Ghanaian Times as a State-owned Print Media in Ghana portrays about Africa through its reportage. Utilizing the gatekeeping, cultural imperialist, and framing theories, the study looked at the selection of stories by the editors and the final images that were portrayed about Africa per the stories selected for publication for five (5) years. Through content analysis, the study sampled 225 stories from the Ghanaian Times newspaper. The study hypothesized that the newspaper would frame Africa positively but the findings did not support that hypothesis. The study further delved into the sources of the African news as it was hypothesized that the Ghanaian state-owned newspaper would also pick the majority of its stories from indigenous African news agencies. The results again caused the claim to be rejected as the newspaper indeed relied more on Western media particularly the British Broadcasting Corporation for news on Africa. While there is the need to periodically research to find out about the state of Africa’s image in the media, it was recommended that the African media must reduce its dependence on foreign news agencies for stories on Africa as the tone of such stories is largely negative. The study contributes to the existing literature regarding Africa’s image in the media especially how Ghanaian media frames Africa. Keywords – Africa, Image, Media Framing, News Sources

Solving Problems – Models, Strategies and Potential Implementation in Mathematics Education of 9 – 10-Year-Old Students

The recent reforms in the educational system in Bulgaria aimed to provide the development of transversal skills and competences established in the state educational standards and curricula in all academic disciplines at primary school. Mathematics is the discipline that develops abstract-logical connections and makes sense of the world in a symbolic way, while building up the ability of students to cope with tasks in unfamiliar situations, in other words – to solve problems. The present paper attempts to investigate the theory of solving problems in mathematics at primary school age searching for its potential implementation. Methods of the study include theoretical research in the field of problem solving, covering its levels, models and strategies for its application, as well as content analysis of educational documentation for the 3rd grade. As a result of the study, relevant models and strategies are presented that have the potential to develop students’ problem-solving skills, revealing the need for increasing the number of tasks in the textbooks, which provide opportunities for problematization.

Occupational health and safety activities undertaken by physiotherapy students: A retrospective review of industry placement reports.

The University of South Australia's Bachelor of Physiotherapy course, 'Work Health and Safety (WHS) Practice', provides students with introductory practical WHS experience. Students undertake 80-hour effort WHS projects for industry, culminating in a report for hosts. To establish the types of industry that host WHS undergraduate physiotherapy placements and the nature of activities that students conduct. Reports were retrospectively, systematically classified using a descriptive, document content analysis approach. Demographic data were collected: report and student numbers, placement locations and industry types. Selected reports were used as a subset for further analysis with definitions created to classify the nature of placement activities. Most reports were written by a pair of students (88%, n = 269), with placements based in metropolitan Adelaide (91%, n = 284). Various industries hosted students, including healthcare and social assistance (40%, n = 117) and manufacturing (30%, n = 89). Reports primarily included risk management activities as required by WHS legislation (97%, n = 229). Physiotherapy student WHS activities maintain close links with industry, involving stakeholders (workforce, students, University of South Australia and academics). At an entry-level standard, the student WHS activities align well with some criteria set as key competencies for Australian Occupational Health physiotherapy practitioners.

Políticas en salud laboral en personas trabajadoras mayores: análisis comparativo entre España y Chile

ObjectiveTo analyze and compare the current Spanish and Chilean regulations regarding occupational risk prevention, regarding the existence of specific indications that protect the occupational health and safety of people over 55 years of age. MethodQualitative study in which a documentary content analysis was carried out using ATLAS/ti. The sample was 88 regulatory documents on occupational risk prevention for Spain and Chile. The guidance of the European Agency for Safety at Work (EU-OSHA) regarding age-critical risks was followed. ResultsIn global terms, 21.9% of the total Spanish documents analyzed show the explicit presence of considerations on aging, while for Chile this occurs in 9%. Both countries mention indications regarding ergonomic risks and noise. Shift work and psychosocial risks are considered only in Spain, while extreme temperatures, vibrations and geographical altitude appear exclusively in Chilean regulations. Neither country refers to issues inherent to working women (care responsibilities, menopause). ConclusionsThe Spanish regulations present a greater presence of indications on aging compared to the Chilean one. However, development in this area is insufficient in both countries. Chile and Spain have guides of recommendations, which are not mandatory, and their application is voluntary. This suggests that the prevention of occupational risks has a great pending challenge with people over 55 years of age.

The Impact of Cl4STEM Online Community of Practice on Science and Mathematics Teachers’ Knowledge and Professional Development in Nigeria

Connected Learning for STEM (CL4STEM) is an innovative teacher capacity-building project piloted in Nigeria. It aimed at science, technology, engineering, and mathematics teachers’ capacity building to foster higher-order thinking with inclusion and equity (HOTIE) in their classroom practices. It adopted a model of mobile-based communities of practice (CoP) as one of the strategies for CL4STEM teacher professional development. Hence, this study investigated the impact of the CL4STEM project online CoP on science and mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and professional practice for achieving HOTIE in their classrooms. The study adopted a survey research design involving documentary content analysis and a one-group pre-test-posttest design to collect qualitative and quantitative data to achieve the objectives of the research. The population of the study was all science; biology, chemistry, and physics teachers in senior secondary schools in selected states in Northern Nigeria. Purposive sampling was used to select one newly qualified biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics teacher per subject area from twenty sample schools in the population, thus a target sample size of 80 science and mathematics teachers, 20 each per subject. Content analysis of the module reports and evaluation of lesson plans were used to obtain qualitative data on the science and mathematics teachers’ CoP practices and professional learning. The Pre-test and post-test on the teachers’ subject matter knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge were the instruments for quantitative data collection. The instruments were validated by the project consultant and science and mathematics education experts. Four research objectives and four corresponding research questions guided the study. Descriptive statistics, descriptive content analysis, and descriptive narrative were used to analyze the data. The study revealed that online CoP has remarkably impacted teachers’ subject matter and pedagogical content knowledge and professional development.

Characterization and analysis of the proposals submitted to the PET-Health Interprofessionality in Brazil: advancements and future directions

ABSTRACT The Program of Education through Work for Health (PET-Health), with a focus on interprofessionality, is one of the actions of the Plan for the Strengthening of Interprofessional Education in Brazil. This research aimed to systematically analyze the characteristics of the proposals submitted to the public notice of the PET-Health Interprofessionality specifically in relation to the theoretical-conceptual and methodological alignment of interprofessional education (IPE). The study is a qualitative document content analysis. We analyzed one hundred and twenty projects submitted to the selection process from institutions participating in the PET-Health Interprofessionality. Content analysis followed three steps: pre-analysis, exploration of the material, and treatment and interpretation of results. Seven categories were identified: a) alignment with the theoretical-conceptual frameworks of IPE, b) curriculum changes, c) faculty development with a focus on IPE, d) articulation among objectives, actions, and results expected related to IPE, e) strategies for monitoring and evaluation, f) involvement of users/families and community, and g) development of collaborative competencies. We conclude that while some advancements have been made, there remains a need for more in-depth discussion in Brazil to ensure the development of competencies capable of assuring more integral, resolute, and safer healthcare services, with capacity to (re)signify user-centered care in the planning and delivery of healthcare.

Business Anthropology and Education: Approaches, Methodologies, and Implications

The contribution of anthropological contents and methods in different aspects of the study of education is significant. The business functions of education in terms of leadership and management of humans, materials and financial resources for optimal outcomes mandates anthropological insights and underpinnings in educational systems. The early works of Hewett, Boas and Montessori paved the way for the application of anthropological contents and methods to the study and practices of educative processes and systems for better understanding and improvement of learning. Anthropological concepts and principles are integral to the domains of foundations of education, curriculum development, culture studies, classroom interactions, multicultural education, business education, policy implementations, educational research and educational administration. In this study, efforts have been made to show the contributions of both anthropologists and educators in the rise of a new field of anthropology of education since the early decades of the twentieth century. The study, thus, examines the confluence of business anthropology and education resulting in the field of anthropology of education. It highlights the historical development of the convergence of anthropology and education, implications of anthropological concepts, contents and methods in educational studies, and the anthropological approaches in the areas of educational research. Ethnographic methods such as grounded theory, documentary content analysis, and action research have greatly contributed to the knowledge of complex educational issues and challenges. They are integral to the study of educational issues through the techniques of purposive sampling, interview, observation, constant comparison, triangulations, key incident, narration, interpretive stance, and other tools of data gathering, interpretation and analysis. The present study emphasises on the significance of anthropological methods in the study of life in classrooms in term of interactions, and the impacts of the classroom environment on learning as school settings and classroom life provide the requisite environment for anthropological inquiries. It also addresses the current practices in the applications of anthropology of education in the areas of teacher education, curriculum development, multicultural education and educational research.

Journalistic Role Performance in Times of COVID

ABSTRACT This paper examines journalistic role performance in coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic, based on a content analysis of newspaper, television, radio and online news in 37 countries. We test a set of hypotheses derived from two perspectives on the role of journalism in health crises. Mediatization theories assume that news media tend to sensationalize or to politicize health crises. A contrasting perspective holds that journalists shift toward more deferential and cooperative stances toward health and political authorities in a health crisis, attempting to mobilize the public to act according to the best science. Hypotheses derived from these perspectives are tested using the standard measures of journalistic roles developed by the Journalistic Role Performance Project. Results show that the deference/cooperation/consensus perspective is better supported, with media moving away from the Watchdog and Infotainment, and toward performance of the Service and Civic roles. We also explore differences in the pattern by country.
