Siswa Indonesia Darurat Kompetensi dan Karakter, Pemerintah Ciptakan Profil Pelajar Pancasila Sebagai Solusi

Recently, there are different types of problems that occur in school environments, ranging from the increasingly declining grades and morals of the student, the student's ability to adapt to technological progress, or the student who is less skilled at solving the problems that arise around him. So, the ministry provides Pancasila Student's Profiles as a form of hope, purpose, and reference to national education and as a reference by the educator in building student’s competence and character. By implementing the Pancasila Student's Profiles at school, students are expected to become lifelong learning who are competent, have character, and behave according to Pancasila values. This study aims to observe whether the Pancasila Student's Profiles has an impact on increased competence and character building in UPT SDN 060886 Titi Rantai, using a qualitative approach so that the situation or phenomena that occurr in school can be described clearly and deeply, and the meaning of the phenomenon can be well analyzed. Studies indicate that the Pancasila Student's Profiles has not been able to overcome the problems of student’s competence and character.

A Linguistically-Informed Assessment Model for Multidimensional Competence Building in Romanian School Writing

In education, student involvement in writing activities is crucial for enhancing their learning experience and developing multiple competences. The development of any national curriculum within Europe is based on the indispensable competences required for lifelong learning as outlined in the European Parliament’s Reference Framework. In response to the changing landscape of education, the Romanian national curriculum has undergone revisions that currently prioritise a competence-based approach to teaching writing. This approach aims to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively communicate through writing, enabling them to express their ideas and thoughts clearly and concisely. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that there has been a lack of research conducted to assess the efficacy of the didactic resources and materials developed to facilitate these educational goals. This study uses corpus linguistics methodologies to examine the correlation between the content of textbooks used for writing tasks in primary education, secondary education, and high schools and the pedagogical skills they aim to develop. For this purpose, we have constructed a preliminary textbook corpus called ROTEX, which consists of online materials, specifically Romanian language and communication textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education. The corpus includes three datasets, one for each educational level (4th grade, 8th grade, and 12th grade). Our analysis uses writing tasks to identify linguistic and thematic complexity patterns. This approach allows us to determine the competences that are effectively enhanced at each educational level. Our conclusions are backed up by quantitative linguistic evidence, which provides valuable insights into the dominant competences fostered within the educational framework.

Blurred lines: Ethical challenges related to autonomy in home-based care.

Home-based care workers mainly work alone in the patient's home. They encounter a diverse patient population with complex health issues. This inevitably leads to several ethical challenges. The aim is to gain insight into ethical challenges related to patient autonomy in home-based care and how home-based care staff handle such challenges. The study is based on a 9-month fieldwork, including participant observation and interviews in home-based care. Data were analysed with a thematic analysis approach. The study took place within home-based care in three municipalities in Eastern Norway, with six staff members as key informants. The Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research evaluated the study. All participants were competent to consent and signed an informed consent form. A main challenge was that staff found it difficult to respect the patient's autonomy while at the same time practicing appropriate care. We found two main themes: Autonomy and risk in tension; and strategies to balance autonomy and risk. These were explicated in four sub-themes: Refusing and resisting care; when choosing to live at home becomes risky; sweet-talking and coaxing; and building trust over time. Staff's threshold for considering the use of coercion appeared to be high. Arguably, home-based care staff need improved knowledge of coercion and the legislation regulating it. There is also a need for arenas for ethics reflection and building of competence in balancing ethical values in recurrent ethical problems.

So the optimizing of public services from this application had not fully achieved.

Membangun Karakter Kristen: Peran Kompetensi Profesional Guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen

Successful education is not limited to providing knowledge or information alone, but is able to bridge behavioral transformations in each individual. The success of education lies in its ability to shape a person's character, attitudes, and morals. More than just knowledge transfer, quality education provides a strong foundation for positive personality development. A teacher who is classified as a professional is a role model for his students, but if we look at the reality, there are still many unprofessional teachers who maintain bad behavior. This study aims to explore the relationship between teacher professional competence and Christian character building in the context of Christian religious education. The research approach applied is qualitative through a literature review method. The results showed that a teacher needs to master all the basic competencies of the teacher, including spiritual competence to be an example for students in forming Christian character. The implication is the teacher's contribution to Christian education that is relevant to the demands of the times. This research provides a deeper understanding of the essential relationship between teachers' professional competence and Christian character building, enriching the context of Christian religious education.

Preparing students for the future: multidisciplinary perspectives on pedagogical activities and their spatial embeddedness

ABSTRACTTo implement educational transformations that prepare young people for the future society, it is valuable to deepen scientific understanding of socio-cultural, psychic, and physical aspects of learning environments. Towards that end, in this case study we examined educators’ and construction specialists’ perceptions of pedagogical activities and how design of physical learning environments intends to reciprocally support those activities in the context of constructing a new school building during the national renewal of general upper secondary schools in Finland. The study relied on multidisciplinary interviews (n = 22), observations and outcomes of participatory workshops, teachers’ free-form notes on benchmarking visits to recently occupied learning environments, and the operational requirements and goals that architects had prepared for the new building. Our analysis resulted in a framework comprising spatio-pedagogically interrelated themes of collaboration and community building, teaching and learning transversal competencies, supporting students’ wellbeing and inclusion, and digital instruments and technologies in support of teaching and learning. The results appear to indicate that pedagogical activities and their spatial embeddedness would have interrelations when constructing new learning environments that aim at collaborative knowledge creation, creative problem-solving, and teaching practices that build on the learners’ knowledge and active roles in learning.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs of Medical Students Toward Transgender Healthcare: A Community-Driven Initiative.

Introduction Transgender patients face substantial systemic healthcare barriers and inadequate care from providers who often demonstrate clinical gaps in the medical needs of the transgender community. Providing interventions in which affirming transgender healthcare is explored, is crucial to delivering competent transgender-patient care and building compassionate physician-patient relationships. The Northeast Pennsylvania (NEPA) Trans Health Conference was established to address the growing need for an educational forum where transgender people could voice their narratives. In this educational intervention study, changes in the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about the psychosocial and medical needs of the transgender community in first-year undergraduate medical students were examined pre- and post-trans health conference attendance. Materials and methods In the late spring of both 2018 and 2019, first-year medical students attended the NEPA Trans Health Conference, hosted by the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine (GCSOM). Student knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs, regarding the healthcare needs of the transgender community were evaluated prior to and directly after the conference (intervention). Though the surveys shared thematic similarities, the 2018 and 2019 surveys were different and thus were not used comparatively. Results In 2018, 35.24% of first-year medical students (37/105 participants) completed both the pre- and post-survey. Overall, 62.5% (5/8) of survey items yielded significant differences. In 2019, 25.5%, of first-year medical students (28/110 participants) completed both the pre- and post-surveyand 47.6% (9/21) of survey items yielded significant results. Overall, although the majority of first-year medical students displayed positive attitudes towardtrans people pre-intervention, the students also demonstrated increased knowledge, empathy, and understanding of the transgender healthcare narrative post-intervention. Conclusion Providing medical students with a humanistic intervention within the medical curriculum that is focused on the transgender person, in addition to their past and present healthcare experiences, offers a bridge between academic content and providing inclusive gender-affirming healthcare to all patients.

This approach aimed to evaluate and compare the progress in digital capabilities among the Baltic States. Additionally, an analysis of strategic documents was conducted to gain insight into each country's perspective on cyber security and to identify opportunities for the development of this field in consideration of available resources. Results The findings emphasize the Baltic states' dedication to bolstering their cyber resilience, primarily motivated by the perceived threat from Russia. The study underscores the intricate relationship between socioeconomic factors and a nation's cyber capabilities. Conclusions The conclusion drawn is that their endeavours to establish and enhance cyber capabilities constitute a pivotal component of their cybersecurity strategy, thus contributing to regional stability and NATO's collective defence.

Growing Novice Nurses to Perianesthesia Care: Formation of a Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) Fellowship

PurposeTo provide a proof of concept of a structured, replicable perianesthesia fellowship program for nurses with less than 2 years of experience and new graduate nurses. DesignAn immersive learning experience was implemented as a pilot quality improvement project using the Plan-Do-Study-Act method. MethodsThis 24-week fellowship program used blended learning approaches and the Tiered Skill Acquisition Model (TSAM) to develop foundational Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) skills. Nurse Fellows (4) acquired knowledge in stages, with each week in the program reinforcing and building upon the prior week's learnings. Settings included an initial 10 weeks in the ambulatory PACU, then the acute care PACU (weeks 11-20), and the final 4 weeks were spent in the primary unit where the Fellow would transition into a PACU Staff RN. Through each phase, the Professional Practice Department’s Clinical Mentor Nurse promoted preceptor development, facilitated learning experiences and provided bimonthly evaluations of the Nurse Fellow’s progress via our institution's clinical rounding tool. We used the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence Associated with Clinical Decision Making (NASC-CDM) scale to assess novice nurses’ anxiety and self-confidence associated with making clinical decisions at designated intervals. FindingsAll Nurse Fellows completed the program and remained in PACU positions 2 years post-fellowship. They reported discomfort and increased stress transitioning to different PACUs; however, they later indicated reduced anxiety and greater confidence in clinical decision-making, as noted in subsequent evaluations of the NASC-CDM scale. ConclusionsPerianesthesia fellowship programs incorporating blended learning, skill reinforcement, and formal mentoring on a primary PACU unit build confidence and competence in the novice nurse, making this once-excluded population of nurses a viable option for recruitment directly into the PACU environment.

An ASSESSMENT of the DISASTER PREPAREDNESS of the BARANGAY (VILLAGE) DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES of the TAGOLOAN RIVER BASIN COMMUNITIES in SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES

Climate-related hazards pose significant threats to communities worldwide, necessitating all governments to be at all times on high alert. Local governments, as required by law, should implement measures that would mitigate risk exposure to their constituents. This study utilized three research-made data gathering tools. Results revealed that the tasks of the Barangay (Village) Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committees (BDRRMCs) in the river basin communities on disaster preparedness were at the low level. As a whole, the performance of the BDRRMCs is poor (2.45). This is broken down into building of competencies (poor = 2.72) and acquisition of hardware and supply (poor = 2.18). The results indicate that the BDRRMC leadership of the Tagoloan River Basin (TRB) communities has very limited capability with respect to its level of BDRRM Committee performance in the context of Building of Competencies as a component of disaster preparedness. The data also imply that the tools/facilities/materials, as sub-indicators of BDRRMC according to disaster preparedness, are not fully in existence and not available to many of the TRB barangays. There is a cogent need for all government offices handling the DRRM functions to provide appropriate attention at the community level for the proper implementation of the DRRM Plan.

Immersive simulations to teach infodemic management: WHO global infodemic manager trainings

Abstract Background When teaching infodemic management (IM) to health professionals and emergency response staff, teaching only technical skills is not sufficient because infodemics affect health workers both professionally and personally. Infodemic response also requires lateral thinking to problem-solve and thus requires experiential learning to teach IM competencies. WHO has developed, delivered and continuously improved a simulation-based training approach to teach IM to health workers and public health practitioners. Objectives To deliver an effective immersive IM simulation the following components must be considered: Designing the simulation world; Designing the tasks in the simulation world; Introducing humor and causing infodemic experience; Teaching cultural humility and ensuring psychological safety; Providing support to trainees; Considerations for virtual vs in-person delivery; Preparing and assembling the delivery team; Delivering the performance and simulation experience. Results WHO has designed delivered and evaluated teaching immersive simulations in in-person, online and hybrid formats, in English and French, with over 1400 trainees in 4 online and 4 offline trainings. Building and delivering an immersive world requires a team of people with different skills but a common vision and training philosophy. The facilitator team must build rapport between trainees quickly and offer multiple ways how trainees can ask for help, and encourage experience sharing and encourage further diffusion of materials, concepts and training approaches within the trainee community. Conclusions WHO immersive teaching simulations for infodemic management competence building have used human-centered design and flipped classroom approaches in design and delivery of the learning and teaching programmes. Simulations have been adapted to other languages, topics, and adapted to regional cultural contexts. Key messages • Simulation teaches trainees how information overload and infodemics impact both health workers and communities they serve. • Immersive teaching simulations providing a wrap-around experience that is fun and safe for experimenting and learning by participants.

Optimal investment decision for industry 4.0 under uncertainties of capability and competence building for managing supply chain risks

This study analyses a risk-averse firm’s decision to invest in Industry 4.0 (I4.0) in the presence of supply chain risks (SCR). Literature suggests that I4.0 assists the firm in mitigating SCRs by enhancing its capability and competence. However, due to SCRs associated with I4.0, building only capability and competence does not necessarily help the firm to improve its resilience from any uncertain fluctuations in ex-post net profit from the long-term return. Therefore, it is essential to investigate how a risk-averse firm makes an optimal investment decision in implementing I4.0 when SCRs impair capability and competence, where we determine a firm’s optimal investment decision in terms of utility defined over the expected value and variance of its ultimate random profit from investing in I4.0. This study employs a mean-variance decision-theoretic model to examine I4.0 investment risk-return trade-offs under uncertainties stemming from two types of SCRs, namely system and operational risks, influencing the firm’s capability and competence achievements, respectively. The model demonstrates that under certain sufficiency conditions on the relative risk-return trade-offs, higher variation in capability or competence, or greater congruency between the SCRs, may lead to a lower optimal investment decision in I4.0. However, the optimal investment may increase with higher expected capability or competence for a given level of these SCRs. Finally, we conduct a simulation of the theoretical model, using vignette-based experimental data as the benchmark parameter values, to quantify the predictive ability and analytical merits of our model by identifying risk-return trade-offs.

Sense-making of Digital Game Technologies (DGT): Positive Instances of Children-led Engagement with Chess

The Game of Chess, a drosophila of reasoning, is a unique opportunity for nurturing children into systemic thinking approaches that naturally embrace the higher-order thinking skills required for STEM aspiration.
 In this paper, we conceptualise chess from a digital game technology perspective to nurture a rich system thinking experience and illustrate the various attempts to introduce a digitally immersive classroom experience for children using a generation of digital chess infrastructure. We continue to illustrate a few positive hands-on experiences of deploying generations of digital chess infrastructure for group learning in the classroom environment for nurturing both the learning and the social imagination of children working together to expand their quest for chess. We examined what brought the attention, advocacy, and achievement to build an agency for chess. With no prior value claim existing for the advocacy of technology deployment with chess in classrooms, the present framework shows how the attention to chess is progressively enriched.
 Further, the positive instances of children-led engagements demonstrate the goal of steadily integrating digitally immersive chess experiences into classroom learning environments. We make sense of the social imagination of classrooms and make in-vivo observations on children-led empowerment, shared aspiration, competency building, and the evolution of contemporary practices in chess leading to the agency for chess. We conclude that a transformative opportunity exists through deploying a digitally immersive chess environment within the classroom for nurturing systemic thinking in children with chess.

Enhancing English Learning: Self-Determination in Indonesia Digital Classrooms

This study explored the experiences of students with technology-integrated English language instruction at two Indonesian universities, Universitas Borneo Tarakan (UBT) and Universitas Sawerigading Makassar (UNSA). The primary aim was to understand the influence of perceived autonomy, competence, relatedness, and motivation levels on English language learning outcomes. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combined survey data and thematic analysis of interviews, we found that students generally reported high levels of these factors. Minor differences were observed between UBT and UNSA in terms of perceived autonomy and competence-relatedness. Positive correlations were identified between these factors and improved performance in English language learning; for example, autonomy positively correlated with English learning outcomes (r = 0.60*), as did competence (r = 0.65*), relatedness (r = 0.62*), and motivation levels (r = 0.70*). These findings highlight the importance of fostering learners' sense of autonomy, competence building, and relatedness in technology-enhanced instruction settings to promote intrinsic motivation according to Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Further research is recommended to explore other potential influencing factors such as individual attitudes towards technology or external factors like teaching quality or course design.

Informal Game Play in the Classroom: Utilisation and Integration of the Metalanguage of Games

This paper discusses a case study of a 28 children in a middle years (11-15 year old) classroom and the use of the "third space" between the classroom and the home as an area of play for consolidation of both the learning at school and the informal learning of the games played at home. The research aims to look at whether the third space could be a vehicle to enable participants who have identified themselves as competent in the gaming world to link those learning strategies to classroom learning and therefore transfer that success to the classroom. The research took place at an International Baccalaureate school in Perth, Western Australia and utilises the third space as a gaming server and Discord chatrooms. Data was collected from the servers, questionnaires, researcher observations, game walkthrough videos and through interviews with the participants. Being an International Baccalaureate school the children take part in a “cognitive curriculum” which is part of the metacognitive learning of the International Baccalaureate. The participants were applying these strategies to their reflections on their action within the server and these reflections then informed their further participation within the “informal” game. In this way it could be theorised that children who were skilled “shapeshifters” could be at an advantage both communicating within the collaborative group work and moving between the informal and formal spaces. The analysis of the data focuses on the ways in which the students unpacked, utilised and discussed the formal classroom learning whilst participating in the Java Minecraft server game space. The metalanguage of learning and building competence in digital games informally through play outside of the school appears to link well to the metalanguage of the International Baccalaureate curriculum. The paper investigates whether linking children’s understanding and use of the gaming metalanguage to the International Baccalaureate metalanguage enables children to traverse the metalanguage of the classroom more successfully. The analysis of the data is utilised threefold in this presentation to: Identify that there is a linkage between gaming language and International Baccalaureate curriculum elements make these links apparent and show how they would apply in the classroom.
