Towards a Sustainable Local Development of Instructional Material: An Impact Assessment of Locally Produced Videos on EFL Learners' Skills and Individual Difference Factors.

The purpose of this paper is to conceptualize the sustainability of local videos development, their integration in the EFL classroom, and their impact on students’ learning outcomes. The research aims as well to assess the impact of the videos on learners’ English language skills achievement and individual difference factors. We recruited a random sample of 100 and 76 students learning different levels of English in our English institute through an online survey. A cross-sectional study of perceived English language skill achievement and individual difference factors such as motivation, attitude, and cultural awareness was carried out. A combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches was used for data collection and analysis. Our conceptual framework showed that the sustainability of the local video production and its integration in the EFL classroom depends on the university’s funding policy, which is subjected to the positive impact of the videos on students’ learning outcomes. Also, the obtained results revealed that the videos fostered learners’ English language skills as well as their motivation to learn the language, positive attitudes toward its integration, and local cultural awareness.

Reducing Unnecessary Testing in Uncomplicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: A Quality Improvement Approach.

Skin and soft tissue infections are common pediatric diagnoses with substantial costs. Recent studies suggest blood cultures are not useful in management of uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections (uSSTIs). Complete blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein are also of questionable value. We aimed to decrease these tests by 25% for patients with uSSTIs admitted to the pediatric hospital medicine service within 3 months. An interdisciplinary team led a quality improvement (QI) project. Baseline assessment included review of the literature and 12 months of medical records. Key stakeholders identified drivers that informed the creation of an electronic order set and development of a pediatric hospital medicine-emergency department collaborative QI project. The primary outcome measure was mean number of tests per patient encounter. Balancing measures included unplanned readmissions and missed diagnoses. Our baseline-year rate was 3.4 tests per patient encounter (573 tests and 169 patient encounters). During the intervention year, the rate decreased by 35% to 2.2 tests per patient encounter (286 tests and 130 patient encounters) and was sustained for 14 months postintervention. There were no unplanned readmissions or missed diagnoses for the study period. Order set adherence was 80% (83 out of 104) during the intervention period and sustained at 87% postintervention. Our interdisciplinary team achieved our aim, reducing unnecessary laboratory testing in patients with an uSSTI without patient harm. Awareness of local culture, creation of an order set, defining appropriate patient selection and testing indications, and implementation of a collaborative QI project helped us achieve our aim.

Utilizing Digital Media for Embedding Local Cultural Values: Vocational High Schools Context

Culture and language are truly inseparable. This study explored how teachers of Vocational High Schools (VHS) embedded local cultural values in their language learning by utilizing digital media. This was a small scale exploratory case study involving six participants comprising of three Indonesian language teachers, and three English teachers of Vocational High Schools in three different regencies of Central Java, Indonesia.

본 연구는 2007년, 2013년과 2017년의 3개년에 걸쳐 동일한 설문지를 기반으로 수집된 자료를 기반으로 지역문화에 대한 청소년의 의식변화 추이를 조사하고 이를 심층 비교ㆍ분석한 결과이다. 각 시점 간의 의식변화 양상과 정도를 현 시점에서 진단하여 지역문화에 기반한 인문적 가치를 인식하고 생활 속에서 지역문화의 소중함을 일깨우기 위한 인문체험 콘텐츠 방향을 모색하기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다.BR 지역문화는 지역민이 주체이고, 지역문화의 미래적 가치는 지역 내부의 자발적인 원동력에 의해 이루어진다는 관점에서 볼 때, 지역사회에서 청소년이 가지고 있는 ‘지역에 대한 관심과 태도’ 등은 지역의 미래를 결정하고 있다고 할 수 있으며, 지역문화에 기반한 청소년의 의식과 가치관이 개성 있고 건강할 때 지역의 건강한 성장을 이끌 수 있다.BR 지역문화 교육은 끝없는 아이디어 싸움으로 다양한 지역문화 자료를 수집하여 이를 가공하거나 포장하여 지역민에게 올바로, 그리고 뜻있고 다양한 방법으로 가치를 창출하는 행위이다. 즉, 지역에 기반한 인문적 가치를 인식하고 생활 속에서 지역문화의 소중함을 일깨우는 과정으로의 인문체험이 필요하다.BR 이를 위해 첫째, 인문체험을 위한 생태계 구축이 필요하다. 지역사회는 다양한 인문콘텐츠 자원이 상호 교류될 수 있는 플랫폼을 구축해야 한다. 둘째, 수요자 맞춤의 재미있는 인문체험 프로그램을 확충해야 한다. 학생들의 관심을 보다 적극적으로 돌릴 수 있는 재미요소를 부각한 킬러콘텐츠의 확보가 필요하다. 셋째, 전문기획운영 인력을 확보하는 것이다. 이를 기반으로 지역학교 교사와 문화단체, 공공기관과 연계하는 매개자의 역할을 수행해야 한다.BR 최근 지역문화 교육은 양적 성장보다 질적 성장으로 변화되고 체험과 참여라는 새로운 차원으로 전환되고 있다. 가치 측면에서도 전통지향에서 현재ㆍ미래적 관점의 문화향유에서 가치창출로 변화되고 있다. 이에 최신 트랜드에 부합되는 새로운 인식과 다양한 현실접목 방법을 통해 지역문화를 지역민의 삶의 일부로 이끌어내는 단계로 도약할 수 있을 것이다.

An Empirical Study of Enhancing Students' Local Cultural Awareness

An Empirical Study of Enhancing Students' Local Cultural Awareness

Islam, Local Culture, and Japan-Indonesian Relations

Local culture is undoubtedly a very important aspect to every nation. Having an awareness of local culture, especially among the youth, plays a great role in shaping a society and a state. For one to have an appreciation of another country’s culture, however, can be an important starting point in breaking down barriers of misperceptions or misunderstandings, and in helping to build global relationships. In support of this idea, the Japanese Embassy in Jakarta this year offered a special program called the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youth (JENESYS) to strengthen the awareness of Japanese local culture among Muslim youth in Indonesia. In early 2014, the Japanese government, working in cooperation with PPIM (Center for the Study of Islam and Society) at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah in Jakarta, invited a number of university students to visit Japan.DOI: 10.15408/sdi.v21i2.1044

Start-Up Library: My Experience at NYU Abu Dhabi

NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), as a relatively new campus of New York University, embodies the vision of the Global Network University (GNU). In my three years as instruction and public services librarian at NYUAD, I have experienced many of the challenges and rewards that creating a new library in the Middle East and within the GNU can provide. Above all, I have learned that collaboration, innovation, and awareness of local culture are critical skills necessary for start-up libraries in new environments. It is my hope that staff members in branch campus libraries, libraries with small user populations, new libraries, and international libraries can identify with and learn from my experiences as an original staff member of the NYUAD Library.

Theology and disaster studies: The need for dialogue

In hazard analysis the conventional wisdom holds that disasters are features of either human vulnerability and/or de-moralised nature. The notion of the ‘Act of God’ has been almost completely replaced. Using examples of volcanic eruptions and Christian theology, it is argued that many actual and potential victims of hazards continue to explain losses in theistic terms; even in societies where individuals are aware of alternative scientific and social explanations. In Christianity attempts to reconcile God's love, justice and omnipotence on the one hand and human suffering on the other, is termed theodicy, and it is proposed that recent developments allow more fruitful dialogue to take place between hazard analysts and theologians than has been the case hitherto. During the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (1990–2000) a consensus emerged that, if responses to disaster are to be successfully managed, then an awareness of local culture is vitally important. This consensus has continued, as research agendas are currently being formulated for the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. In many disaster prone regions, religion is an essential element of culture and must be carefully considered in the planning process, and not simply dismissed as a symptom of ignorance, superstition and backwardness.
