IMPLEMENTASI POIN MAHASISWA

Todays the needs of graduates who have hard skills or soft skills are increasing, Hardskill is obtained from academic processes such as learning during college, while soft skills are obtained from extracurricular or non-curricular activities that can form distinct and clear student characters. To encourage STMIK AKAKOM students to have good soft skills, a Student Achievement Assessment Guideline was issued as a guideline for the student and student sections in calculating the number of extracurricular and non-curricular activities of each student called the Credit Performance Unit (SKP). Each S1 student must collect 110 SKP, D3 students only need 100 SKP during the lecture period that is evenly obtained in each semester so students must start to have activities from the first semester. Every semester the SKP value must be validated by the student affairs department. Ease of validation and time efficiency is absolutely necessary, therefore a computer-based SKP management system was developed. In the system there is a database for storing SKP data, facilities for students to report their SKP, and facilities for student affairs managers

Statistical evaluation of the achievements of professional students by combination of the random forest algorithm and the ANFIS method

This research is of great importance because it applies artificial intelligence methods, more specifically the Random Forest algorithm and the Anfis method to research the key factors that influence the success of students in vocational schools. Identifying these influencing factors is not only useful for improving curriculum and practice but also provides valuable guidance to help students master the material more effectively. The main goal of this research is to penetrate deeply into the core of the factors that influence the success of students in vocational schools, using two different methods. Each of the factors represented as input is mutually independent and does not affect each other, but each of them affects the output variable. The parameters considered as input variables are prior programming knowledge and pretest requirements. Then, by finding one factor that has the greatest influence, the factor of pre-exam obligation was investigated in more detail, using the Anfis method, which was broken down into several input parameters. These results emphasize the importance of the combination of the Random Forest algorithm and the ANFIS method in the statistical evaluation and assessment of student achievement in vocational schools. This study provides useful guidelines for improving education and practice in vocational schools to optimize educational outcomes.

Organization of competence-based training in the teaching of the Nature subject in general education schools

The main aim of the article is to study the organization of the Nature subject in the competence-based teaching at schools. In recent years, the active participation of our Republic in various research programs on the assessment of student achievements has led to positive changes in textbook policy. In such programs (such as TIMSS and PISA), the reading, mathematical, and scientific literacy skills of students are studied and evaluated with specially designed tools. It should be noted that according to the results of the latest TIMSS study, our students were able to demonstrate high mathematical literacy skills. Unfortunately, their scientific literacy scores were lower than the average research score. However, the formation of scientific literacy in the natural sciences is extremely important in training competent young people for the future. In the countries whose students show high results in the TIMSS and PISA research programs (Singapore, China, South Korea, Finland, etc.), the formation of scientific literacy competence in the teaching of Natural Sciences is the main goal of national education. In the article, the way to solve the problem related to the formation of scientific literacy competence in our students at the general secondary education level with the teaching of the integrative "Nature" subject was studied; the importance and necessity of studying this subject were justified. The results of Azerbaijani students in the field of Natural Sciences in comparison with international studies are not satisfactory, the reason for this is that students do not have enough knowledge of scientific concepts and laws in Natural Sciences, and they have difficulty answering real-life situational tasks. Application importance: this theory can be implemented in general education schools.

Edukasi Gizi Seimbang Remaja Untuk Cegah Stunting Dan Penyakit Kronik

Adolescents have a crucial role in preventing stunting. The problems that occur at the Sukoharjo Health Vocational School are (1) the students' low level of knowledge about balanced nutrition and (2) the students' low health independence in adopting a healthy lifestyle. As a result, students experience iron deficiency (anemia), short height, thin or Chronic Energy Deficiency. Female students will be at risk of giving birth to stunted babies. The aim of this activity is to implement promotive and preventive efforts for balanced nutrition to prevent stunting and chronic diseases. The PkM method is promotive in the form of education about balanced nutrition, and preventive in the form of measuring LILA. The results of the activity show that many students now bring food from home so that their nutrition is more guaranteed. In addition, students are more orderly at breakfast so they can be more focused when learning activities take place. This is evident from the increasing assessment of student achievement.

Issues and Challenges: Teaching and Learning of General Studies in Malaysia

The Malaysian Education Development Plan 2015-2025 (Higher Education) (PPPM-PT) is the ministry's aspiration in higher education that includes three aspects, namely the quality of students, the quality of institutions and the quality of the entire system. The Ministry aims to achieve a graduate employability rate of at least 80% by the year 2025. In meeting this challenge, several initiatives need to be introduced and implemented. For example, expanding industry collaboration in designing curriculum and implementing academic programs. Emphasis on experience-based learning and service needs to be emphasized in efforts to develop appropriate skills in the 21st century. The use of technology in education is also necessary to strengthen the learning and teaching system that is adapted to the needs of students (personalized learning). This situation needs to take several things into account, including a holistic student achievement assessment system, as well as balanced with the development of students' soft skills.

Effects of mode and medium in reading comprehension tests on cognitive load

Digital media are becoming increasingly prevalent in the assessment of student achievement. Assessments that use digital media rather than pencil-and-paper (PPT) present the test materials on a screen (computer-based test: CBT) and can apply adaptive testing procedures (computer adaptive test: CAT). Based on cognitive load theory, presentation differences between the screen and paper might impact the cognitive load experienced during a reading comprehension test. In addition, working memory resource depletion might be indicative of an accumulation of cognitive load over the course of a test. Due to their active alignment of item difficulty and person ability, cognitive load might increase more in CATs than in PPTs or CBTs. Research has mostly compared test scores resulting from these different test formats, while systematic differences in the testing experience, such as experienced cognitive load, have received less scholarly attention. This study investigated how the three test formats of PPT, CBT, CAT affect examinees' level of experienced cognitive load in the middle and at the end of a reading comprehension test. In a between- and within-subject design, 212 German fourth graders (age: M = 9.44, SD = 0.59) were randomly assigned to a standardized reading comprehension test administered in one of the three test formats (between-subject: CBT, CAT, or PPT). Linear mixed-effects models revealed no significant mean differences in experienced cognitive load between the three test conditions, but a higher rate of increase in cognitive load in the adaptive test, although the effects were relatively small. Implications for future reading comprehension assessments using digital media are discussed.

Effectiveness of Modular Learning Approach among Secondary School Students during Pandemic in Zambales, Philippines

The world experienced the COVID-19 Pandemic, which severely affected the quality of Education, especially in the Philippines. The option was to change the face-to-face approach to a modular approach. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the modular learning approach to students’ academic performance. The study was conducted in Sta. Cruz District in the province of Zambales, Philippines. A Descriptive Research Design was employed. A total of one hundred fifty-four (154) teacher-respondents were randomly selected. There was a significant difference in the perception towards dimensions on the level of effectiveness in the implementation of modular learning approach as to Technical Support, Subject Content, Construction, Delivery and Retrieval Mechanism, Assessment of Student Achievement, Adherence to IATF Health Observance Protocols, and School and Local Government Unit Support. This modality's modular learning approach has improved and increased students’ academic performance. The students were rated “Satisfactory” in their academic performance. On the other hand, there is a negligible relationship between academic performance and the level of effectiveness in implementing the modular learning approach. The researcher recommends revisiting the learning contents and assessment of student output and providing item analysis to determine the vague or gray areas in the self-learning module for improvement. The School may conduct a time management plan for production, delivery, and retrieval to assure the modules had been delivered on time to the students and considerable time was allotted for assessing and accomplishing student learning outputs.

Using the Technical Teacher Application (Gl 4.0) in the Post Pandemic

The implementation of the e-learning teaching and learning process using commercial media still has limited access and some focuses on the knowledge aspect, so that it becomes an obstacle for teachers in assessing aspects of students' attitudes and character. This article aims to describe the development of a blended learning platform in order to develop students' readiness to use the internet as a learning mode in the era of internet-based technology openness. The research method used in this study is a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Through the object of research teachers and students. Obtaining data by observation, documentation study and focus group discussion were then analyzed by data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that there is user readiness in accessing the LMS platform through optimal use of GL 4.0, the establishment of teachers presenting KBM planning in virtual managerial has been achieved by being shown to be able to prepare and upload learning resources (teaching materials and enrichment materials), assessment of student achievement and interaction. and communication of teachers with students or students with colleagues. GL 4.0 provides a space for teacher creativity so that the learning space is facilitated properly and is fun for students. Teachers in the maturity of mixed learning management between online and offline (blended learning) are the main requirements to be able to carry out these learning activities . The conclusion is that GL 4.0 is the platform of choice for blended learning KBM adaptation in schools because the simplicity of the platform makes it easy for users to complete media attributes or features that facilitate the conditions for blended learning to take place.

Higher Education Management and Student Achievement Assessment Method Based on Clustering Algorithm.

Monitoring and guiding instructional management require student performance evaluation. Traditional evaluation and analysis methods based on absolute scores, on the other hand, have certain flaws and are unable to fully reflect the information contained in student performance, thus limiting the impact of student performance evaluation on teaching and learning management. Data mining is regarded as the backbone technology for future information processing, and it introduces a new concept to the way humans use data. Schools must analyse and evaluate the performance of students in the same grade level and secondary school in a timely and staged manner. Clustering is a type of data mining that uses similarity rules to classify sample data into groups with a high degree of similarity. To address the difficulties caused by the wide variation in course difficulty in student performance evaluation, a method based on the K-means clustering algorithm is proposed. The K-means algorithm and the improved K-means algorithm with student information are investigated. The test results showed that the K-means clustering algorithm, the improved algorithm in this paper, and the fast global mean clustering algorithm all cluster the same randomly generated data set with noisy points, but the clustering time of the algorithm in this paper is only 0.04, which has obvious advantages. As a result, the clustering algorithm-based higher education management and student performance evaluation mechanism provides some insights for future research on student learning patterns. It is hoped that instructional administrators will gain a better understanding of students' learning characteristics so that they can better guide their teaching.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A CLOUD-BASED LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION

Scoring Graphical Responses in TIMSS 2019 Using Artificial Neural Networks.

Automated scoring of free drawings or images as responses has yet to be used in large-scale assessments of student achievement. In this study, we propose artificial neural networks to classify these types of graphical responses from a TIMSS 2019 item. We are comparing classification accuracy of convolutional and feed-forward approaches. Our results show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) outperform feed-forward neural networks in both loss and accuracy. The CNN models classified up to 97.53% of the image responses into the appropriate scoring category, which is comparable to, if not more accurate, than typical human raters. These findings were further strengthened by the observation that the most accurate CNN models correctly classified some image responses that had been incorrectly scored by the human raters. As an additional innovation, we outline a method to select human-rated responses for the training sample based on an application of the expected response function derived from item response theory. This paper argues that CNN-based automated scoring of image responses is a highly accurate procedure that could potentially replace the workload and cost of second human raters for international large-scale assessments (ILSAs), while improving the validity and comparability of scoring complex constructed-response items.

Students’ perception of professional decision-making in the context of an animal science course: Case study

ABSTRACT A designed segment of multidisciplinary co-teaching was used to activate a process of professional decision-making and study undergraduate students’ perception of this skill development. A questionnaire was constructed to analyse students’ perception of the process of decision-making and to reflect on the contribution of designed teaching to development of this competence. Students in our study had difficulties in perceiving, analysing, and monitoring the decision-making process. They had positive reactions, recognised contributions to their personal and professional development and perceived lack of classes for practicing complex competencies, during bachelor studies. To be able to expect some lasting effects, it is necessary for the development of these competencies to become a regular part of the curriculum and teaching practice, but also assessment of student achievement.

Equal Opportunities in Learning in Diverse Groups in Nepal in the Pre-COVID Realm: Socioeconomic Status, Mathematics Learning, and the Diverse Groups

The article discusses the diversity and equity issues behind the learning outcomes of mathematics in the pre-COVID context in Nepal. The article intends to give a baseline for the further studies on the effect of COVID-19 pandemic in the educational realm. Datasets from the national assessment of student achievement in Nepal at grades 3 and 5 and grade 8 are reanalyzed based on socioeconomic status (SES), gender, caste-ethnicity, language, and geographical variables. In Nepal, where the society is customarily highly structured, gender-biased, and poverty-driven, SES influences remarkably in mathematics achievement. The datasets show notable relationships between SES and mathematics achievement (r = 0.35, 0.27 and 0.30 in grade 3, 5 and 8, respectively). In lower grades, the difference between the highest and lowest SES in the achievement of girls is wider than boys and it is reverse in grade 8. Nepali speakers had high scores when they had high SES but, when SES was very low, the non-Nepali speakers performed better in all grades. The advantageous castes tended to always perform higher irrespective of their level of SES. Nevertheless, it is difficult to know with certainty when average and marginalized caste/ethnic groups perform better.
