Pembelajaran PAKBP dengan Metode PJBL Sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Kemandirian Fase C kelas 6 SD Katolik Karya Yosef Pontianak

This study aims to enhance the independence of students in Catholic Religious Education and Character Education (PAKBP) through the implementation of the Project-Based Learning (PJBL) method in the 6th grade of SD Katolik Karya Yosef Pontianak. This research is based on the low level of student independence in completing tasks during lecture-based teaching. This Classroom Action Research was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 30 6th-grade students in Phase C. Data collection instruments included observation, an independence questionnaire, and field notes. The indicators of independence observation covered students' ability to manage study time independently, complete tasks without teacher assistance, make appropriate decisions during the learning process, take initiative in seeking additional information, and take responsibility for assigned tasks. The results showed that the application of the PJBL method significantly increased student independence in PAKBP learning and academic achievement. Improvement was observed in students' ability to manage time, take initiative in completing projects, and make decisions during the learning process. In the first cycle, independence increased from 65% to 80%, while academic achievement in the proficient category rose from 70% to 85%, and in the competent category from 60% to 75%. Therefore, it can be concluded that PJBL, focusing on the independence dimension, can enhance both student independence and learning outcomes. It is recommended that PJBL be considered an effective approach to improving student independence and learning outcomes in PAKBP. The implication of this research is the importance of broader integration of the PJBL method in learning activities to support the development of students' character and abilities.

7870 Exploring The Role Of ChatGPT In Pediatric Endocrinology Education; Exam Preparation And Question Generation

Abstract Disclosure: J. Tarkoff: None. A.G. Martinez Sanchez: None. Large language models (LLMs) hold substantial promise for improving physician knowledge and expertise. Their role in medical education and the generation of diverse diagnoses can be crucial, potentially leading to positive effects on clinical outcomes. The New England Journal of Medicine pediatric case challenges have examined ChatGPT [1]. Yet, its performance in specialized areas like Pediatric Endocrinology remains unexplored. This study assesses the effectiveness of ChatGPT 4 in responding to questions from the Pediatric Endocrine Self-Assessment Program (PESAP). It also examines if the AI is suitable for creating an educational quiz for residents and fellows. Methods: ChatGPT 4 underwent testing with questions from the 2021-2022 version of PESAP, utilizing the prompt: “Can you assist from the perspective of a pediatric endocrinologist with the following patient case”. Responses were evaluated for initial correctness, and performance was analyzed across various competency categories corresponding to the 7 “umbrella sections” of the tool (Adrenal, Bone, Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism/Obesity, Growth, Pituitary, Reproductive System, and Thyroid). Subsequently, we personalized the model by incorporating the questions and detailed responses from the PESAP. This customization resulted in a model that was then utilized to create a 10-question proof-of-concept quiz for four board-certified pediatric endocrinologists. The quiz included a scoring system designed to measure the extent and depth of ChatGPT knowledge. Results: ChatGPT 4 accurately answered 52% of PESAP questions, demonstrating varying performance across specific categories, ranging from 30% (Adrenal) to 78% (Reproductive System). In 16 questions, ChatGPT 4 did not provide an initial answer, requiring a specific request for a response. For questions related to thyroid cancer, explicit prompts were necessary to instruct responses based on the American Thyroid Association 2015 guidelines. In the endocrinologist quiz, the average score was 80%, ranging from 60% to 100%. Discussion: Currently, using ChatGPT 4 as the final diagnostic tool, especially in pediatric endocrinology, should be approached with caution, based on our assessment. However, when incorporating distinct Pediatric Endocrinology case studies, ChatGPT 4 successfully generated valuable educational questions, reinforcing fundamental concepts in the field. We anticipate that as LLMs advance and receive direct medical training, the out-of-the-box diagnostic accuracy will improve, leading to a transformative impact on medical education through this technology.

Digital Competencies and Training Approaches to Enhance the Capacity of Practitioners to Support the Digital Transformation of Public Health: Rapid Review of Current Recommendations.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted gaps in the public health workforce's capacity to deploy digital technologies while upholding ethical, social justice, and health equity principles. Existing public health competency frameworks have not been updated to reflect the prominent role digital technologies play in contemporary public health, and public health training institutions are seeking to integrate digital technologies in their curricula. As a first step in a multiphase study exploring recommendations for updates to public health competency frameworks within the Canadian public health context, we conducted a rapid review of literature aiming to identify recommendations for digital competencies, training approaches, and inter- or transdisciplinary partnerships that can enhance public health practitioners' capacity to support the digital transformation of public health. Following the World Health Organization's (2017) guidelines for rapid reviews, a systematic search was conducted on Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, ERIC (Education Resources Information Center), and Web of Science for peer-reviewed articles. We also searched Google Scholar and various public health agency and public health association websites for gray literature using search terms related to public health, digital health, practice competencies, and training approaches. We included articles with explicit practice competencies and training recommendations related to digital technologies among public health practitioners published between January 2010 and December 2022. We excluded articles describing these concepts in passing or from a solely clinical perspective. Our search returned 2023 titles and abstracts, of which only 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. We found recommendations for new competencies to enable public health practitioners to appropriately use digital technologies that cut across all existing categories of the core competencies for public health framework of the Public Health Agency of Canada. We also identified a new competency category related to data, data systems management, and governance. Training approaches identified include adapted degree-awarding programs like combined public health and informatics or data science degree programs and ongoing professional certifications with integration of practice-based learning in multi- and interdisciplinary training. Disciplines suggested as important to facilitate practice competency and training recommendations included public health, public health informatics, data, information and computer sciences, biostatistics, health communication, and business. Despite the growth of digital technologies in public health, recommendations about practice competencies and training approaches necessary to effectively support the digital transformation of public health remain limited in the literature. Where available, evidence suggests the workforce requires new competencies that cut across and extend existing public health competencies, including new competencies related to the use and protection of new digital data sources, alongside facilitating health communication and promotion functions using digital media. Recommendations also emphasize the need for training approaches that focus on interdisciplinarity through adapted degree-awarding public health training programs and ongoing professional development.

Competencies in interdisciplinary engineering education: constructing perspectives on interdisciplinarity in a Q-sort study

ABSTRACT Interdisciplinary engineering education (IEE) is gaining traction as engineering practices increasingly acknowledge the need to transcend traditional boundaries given the complexities of globalised systems. IEE, however, faces challenges that underscore uncertainties and different perceptions about what interdisciplinarity means for engineering education, what it requires, and how current educational practices should change accordingly. This study addresses these concerns by taking competencies as indicators. Analysing new angles interdisciplinary approaches bring to traditional engineering competencies, we first propose six IEE-related competency categories. We then use the Q-sort methodology to investigate how interdisciplinarity is envisioned within overall engineering educational goals. Findings highlight three distinct perspectives, seeing IEE respectively as social-holistic, technical problem-solving, and reflective pragmatic. Each perspective embodies specific values and conceptions about the role and implications of interdisciplinarity for engineering education. The multifaceted understandings of and approaches to realise IEE suggest the need for nuanced strategies and continuous dialogues in education.

Digital Literacy Profile of Indonesian Educational Technology Students in the Era of Digital Transformation

The development of digital technology has led to fundamental changes in the industrial world, known as the industrial transformation of the digital era. One of the serious challenges in education regarding digital technology resources is the ability to control them through algorithmic systems. This research aims to analyze and map the profile of Educational Technology students, particularly Generation Z, who are now in an increasingly mediated and digitalized learning environment. The research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The sampling method used is total sampling, where the entire population is selected as the research sample. Data collection is conducted using a questionnaire as the instrument. The data analysis techniques include both qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis. The research findings reveal three categories of digital literacy competencies among Indonesian Educational Technology students: communicative power, selective power, and digital-based creation. Communicative power relates to elements such as social networking, transliteracy, identity management, and self-broadcasting. The digital literacy competency related to communicative skills is categorized as very good, as is the ability to select various digital content when accessing internet-based media. However, the digital literacy competency related to creative power is in the good category, tending towards quite good.

Cultural Differences in the Professional Competencies and Their Implications for Systems Engineers

AbstractSince 2018, the International Council on Systems Engineering has promulgated a set of competencies for systems engineers. It is organized in a framework structure that describes the knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors that are important to systems engineering effectiveness. There are five “levels” of competence, that span from awareness to expert. The five categories of competencies are Professional, Core, Technical, SE Management, and Integrating. This paper focuses on culturally‐based characteristics of systems engineers relative to the Professional Competencies. It includes a discussion of culturally‐based research and conclusions regarding their implications for how to use them in selecting systems engineers, forming and developing systems teams, and making design decisions.

Assessing Intercultural Competence in Pakistani Students: An Analysis of O-Level English Language Examination

This paper explores the intercultural competence of Pakistani students who appear in Cambridge O-Level English language examination conducted in Pakistan by British council twice a year. English language is a core subject and is coded with 1123 for Cambridge International Examination (CIE). For this subject, two papers are taken i.e. paper-I was about reading comprehension and paper-II was about writing a composition. To analyze the extent to which intercultural competence assesses alongside linguistic competence amongst students through exam papers, forty-four exam papers (2013-2023) are analyzed by using Byram’s (1993) checklist that constitutes eight categories of intercultural competence. Fairclough’s (2003) model of discourse analysis has been used as a theoretical framework. For analytical framework, topics, themes, and the content of both the papers are thoroughly read and then are put under the eight categories of assessing intercultural competence proposed by Byram (1993). The findings of one-sample t-test indicate that the categories of Byram’s checklist have negative effect on the content of the papers of O-Level. The results clearly display the absence of assessment of intercultural competence of students because less content on local culture was given in the exam papers.

The Role of YouTube-Based Drawing in Early Childhood Social-Emotional Development

The objective of this study is to examine the role of YouTube-based drawing in early childhood social-emotional development. This study employed qualitative research methods to get a comprehensive comprehension and analysis of the subject matter. The chosen research methodology is case study analysis, which involves analysing and interpreting the literature as well as the data acquired via observations, interviews, and documentation. The data in this study were obtained from learners, teachers, children’s artworks, and teacher records such as RPPH and teacher journals. The data in this study were analysed using a child development theory created by CASEL. The study findings indicate that young children who engage in YouTube-based drawing activities actively connect with both their peers and teachers. The act of sketching indirectly contributes to the facilitation of early childhood social-emotional development. The observational data on YouTube-based sketching in early infancy reveals five primary categories of social-emotional competence: self-awareness, self-management, decision-making, interpersonal skills, and social awareness.

Hope action theory: An intervention career development for adolescence

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the development of technological disruption in the current era of globalization have resulted in uncertainty and challenges, especially in the field of workforce recruitment. This condition requires readiness for career selection in the pre-employment age profile. Therefore, effective career guidance is increasingly needed. This study aimed to map the HAI (Hope-Action Inventory) profile of 82 high school students as the basis for career guidance and counseling service programs in high school. The method used in this research was a descriptive study of hope-action competencies assessment. The measurement of HAI competencies was important for effectively managing one's career development. This study found that 13% of students were still in the low expected action competence category. Several dimensions of competence measured showed a range of several dimensions of hope-action competence that were still undetermined, namely the dimensions of self-clarity (mean 2.98. SD 0.23), visioning (mean 3.11. SD 0.16), goal setting and planning (mean 3.06. SD 0.16). Some correlations among these dimensions (r = 0.187 to 0.661) suggest a hierarchy in the competency profile of action expectations that should be considered for developing programs career guidance and counseling service program that integrates the hope action theory. It is expected that programs career guidance and counseling that integrates the hope action theory will be more effective in enhancing career development.

Association between Gross Motor Competence and Physical Fitness in Chilean Children Aged 4 to 6 Years.

The preschool period is considered critical for the development of motor competence, but as far as we know, no studies have investigated the association between motor competence and physical fitness in Chilean children. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between gross motor competence and physical fitness, controlling for possible confounding factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 144 preschool children (56.25% girls) with an average age of 5.3 years (4 to 6 years) from the Araucanía region, Chile. Motor competence was measured using the Children's Movement Assessment Battery, 2nd Edition (MABC-2). Regarding physical fitness, the components of cardiorespiratory fitness, lower body muscle strength and speed/agility were evaluated using the Battery to Assess FITness in PREschool (PREFIT). Partial correlation models and analysis of variance (ANCOVA) were used to assess differences in physical fitness between motor competence categories, controlling for age and body mass index. The mean fitness scores for cardiorespiratory fitness, lower body muscle strength and speed/agility components were significantly higher in children with higher gross motor competence. In terms of effect size, large values were found for the lower body strength component in model 1 for boys and in model 2 for the total samples of girls and boys. The results of this study suggest that good levels of gross motor competence are associated with better physical fitness levels.

The perceived preparedness of prelicensure nursing students to transition to practice

BackgroundThe impact of clinical site limitations on the categories of clinical competencies among prelicensure nursing students (PNSs) is not clear. AimTo describe the perceived clinical preparedness of PNSs who experience alterations in their training. MethodsForty-four PNSs were surveyed using the Clinical Competence Questionnaire (CCQ). CCQ measures four categories of nursing competencies: (a) professional behaviors (PB), (b) general performance (GP), (c) core skills (CS), and (d) advanced skills (ANS). ResultsMost students (89%) reported feeling unprepared to enter practice or reenter clinical settings. The average overall perceived competence score was 169 (SD = 22, 128-212). The averages for PB, GP, CS, and AS were low. Students’ CS and AS scores were significantly and negatively correlated with the number of altered courses (r = −.38, p = .008; r = −.35, p = .018 respectively), and students’ GP scores were significantly, and inversely, associated with the number of missed clinical days (r = −.32, p = .03). ConclusionsStudents who experience alterations feel unprepared to transition to practice. The findings can guide the training needed for PNSs before reentering clinical rotations or upon joining the workforce.

Predicting career success in the hospitality industry of Cyprus: a competency-based approach

ABSTRACT In today’s highly disruptive business environment, the development of a new set of specific key competencies is crucial for career and organizational success.

Suggesting a holistic framework for understanding healthcare services leadership competence – a critical interpretive synthesis

PurposeHealthcare providers are under pressure due to increasing and more complex demands for services. Increased pressure on budgets and human resources adds to an ever-growing problem set. Competent leaders are in demand to ensure effective and well-performing healthcare organisations that deliver balanced results and high-quality services. Researchers have made significant efforts to identify and define determining competencies for healthcare leadership. Broad terms such as competence are, however, inherently at risk of becoming too generic to add analytical value. The purpose of this study is to suggest a holistic framework for understanding healthcare leadership competence, that can be crucial for operationalising important healthcare leadership competencies for researchers, decision-makers as well as practitioners.Design/methodology/approachIn the present study, a critical interpretive synthesis (CIS) was conducted to analyse competency descriptions for healthcare leaders. The descriptions were retrieved from peer reviewed empirical studies published between 2010 and 2022 that aimed to identify healthcare services leadership competencies. Grounded theory was utilised to code the data and inductively develop new categories of healthcare leadership competencies. The categorisation was then analysed to suggest a holistic framework for healthcare leadership competence.FindingsForty-one papers were included in the review. Coding and analysing the competence descriptions resulted in 12 healthcare leadership competence categories: (1) character, (2) interpersonal relations, (3) leadership, (4) professionalism, (5) soft HRM, (6) management, (7) organisational knowledge, (8) technology, (9) knowledge of the healthcare environment, (10) change and innovation, (11) knowledge transformation and (12) boundary spanning. Based on this result, a holistic framework for understanding and analysing healthcare services leadership competencies was suggested. This framework suggests that the 12 categories of healthcare leadership competencies include a range of knowledge, skills and abilities that can be understood across the dimension personal – and technical, and organisational internal and – external competencies.Research limitations/implicationsThis literature review was conducted with the results of searching only two electronic databases. Because of this, there is a chance that there exist empirical studies that could have added to the development of the competence categories or could have contradicted some of the descriptions used in this analysis that were assessed as quite harmonised. A CIS also opens for a broader search, including the grey literature, books, policy documents and so on, but this study was limited to peer-reviewed empirical studies. This limitation could also have affected the result, as complex phenomenon such as competence might have been disclosed in greater details in, for example, books.Practical implicationsThe holistic framework for healthcare leadership competences offers a common understanding of a “fuzzy” concept such as competence and can be used to identify specific competency needs in healthcare organisations, to develop strategic competency plans and educational programmes for healthcare leaders.Originality/valueThis study reveals a lack of consensus regarding the use and understanding of the concept of competence, and that key competencies addressed in the included papers are described vastly different in terms of what knowledge, skills and abilities they entail. This challenges the operationalisation of healthcare services leadership competencies. The proposed framework for healthcare services leadership competencies offers a common understanding of work-related competencies and a possibility to analyse key leadership competencies based on a holistic framework.

Nurse leaders' interpersonal communication competence: A mixed-method systematic review.

To identify and synthesize evidence available on nurse leaders' interpersonal communication competence. Systematic mixed-methods review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis checklist. The data were collected following predefined inclusion criteria. Two authors independently performed the study selection using Covidence software. Three authors assessed the quality using Joanna Briggs' Institute's critical appraisal tool and the mixed-methods appraisal tool. The data-based convergent synthesis design and narrative synthesis were used. CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, Business Source Elite, Academic Search Premier, Communication & Mass Media Complete, PsycInfo, Web of Sciences, Medic and Finna.fi were searched and the screening of citations in relevant articles. The final searches were performed on 17 October 2022. A total of 26 studies-15 quantitative, 9 qualitative and 1 of both mixed-method and multi-method-met the inclusion criteria. The nurse leaders' interpersonal communication competences described in the extant literature were categorized into three themes: message competence, relational competence and task competence. There were considerable differences in the levels of competence, as some competences were considered basic communication skills, while others required more advanced level competences. Furthermore, three competence levels were identified: novice, competent and expert. This study unravels a unique hierarchical description of communication skills across competence categories, supported by the assumption that communication skills are structured hierarchically. The studies reviewed herein had a narrow perception of nurse leaders' interpersonal communication competence and indicated a transmissional understanding of communication. This is the first mixed-methods systematic review that describes and synthesizes the evidence on nurse leaders' communication competencies hierarchically and across competence levels. The study suggests that further research should focus on a broader and more analytical understanding of the cognitive and affective aspects of interpersonal communication competence. CRD42023385058.
