MENINGKATKAN KREATIVITAS GURU BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING DI JAWA BARAT MELALUI MODEL PELATIHAN CLEAR IDEAS

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Clear Ideas Training Model has increased the creativity of guidance and counseling teachers. Using a mixed-method with a concurrent embedded strategy over three unior High School Guidance and Counseling teachers who served in West Bandung Regency. The research stage consists of preliminary studies and exploring the profile of creative teachers through guided group discussions, development of implicit theories of creativity, exploration of teachers' creative growth mindset, exploration of creative motivation, and trials of implementing the Clear Ideas Training Model. In the preliminary study and trial of the training model, a single case study method with ABA design was used. Research findings show that the Clear Ideas Training Model is effective for enhancing participants' creativity. This is evidenced by creative ideas’ emergence at the 'erupt' stage and the successful implementation of creative ideas in the form of innovative guidance and counseling services at the Clear stage. At the align for delivery stage, a creative product for Guidance and Counseling teachers was launched through Instagram social media under the name "Guidance and Counseling Teacher Creativity Room" as an effort to diffuse innovation to students as users as well as to get feedback manifested as followers, likes and comments as parameters for the acceptance of creative products. Recommendations are addressed to the Guidance and Counseling Teacher Deliberation in order to consider the Clear Ideas Training Model as an alternative strategy for increasing teacher creativity.

PELAKSANAAN PERJANJIAN BAGI HASIL PERUMAHAN TITAN ARUM HOUSE ANTARA PEMILIK TANAH DENGAN PELAKSANA PEMBANGUNAN PT. RUBEK MEUPAYONG (Studi Penelitian di Kabupaten Aceh Barat Daya)

This study is intended to determine the implementation of the rights and obligations of the parties to the production-sharing contract and the obstacles and efforts to resolve defaults carried out by the executor of the Titan Arum House housing development. The problem of this study is the implementation of the rights and obligations of the parties in the profit-sharing agreement and obstacles as well as efforts to resolve defaults carried out by the executor of the housing development Titan Arum House. The study method is empirical juridical, with descriptive analysis, namely providing an overview and disclosure of the implementation of profit-sharing agreements for housing development in Southwest Aceh District. The agreement was caused by the agreement of the parties with the principle of freedom of contract. The agreement made by the parties is carried out by putting it in the form of a written agreement made before an authorized notary. The parties agreed to build 25 housing units on the land of the first party for 8 months. The second party carried out the construction for 11 months, so it was considered a default not in accordance with the specified time. The default was due to obstacles in the form of inaccuracy in analyzing time and Budget Details (RAB). The settlement efforts taken by both parties are by way of deliberation in order to obtain a mutually beneficial agreement. The two sides again made an addendum containing an additional three months of construction time.

Community Based Conservation on Lubuk Larangan and Conservation Corridor in North Sumatra

Lubuk-larangan or prohibited river is a traditional local wisdom practiced by the community in West and North Sumatra in preserving natural areas particularly fish habitat and river ecosystem. The practice is based on customary and communal deliberation in order to help the villages maintain their communal resources in a sustainable way. The protection brings a positive impact to the ecosystem as well as various wildlife and aquatic biota. By managing the existence of lubuk-larangan, they also will guard the natural ecosystem as well as the dwindling natural habitat. This paper presents a hypothesis that the prohibition of the area may potentially function as a conservation-corridor in facilitating the home range of natural habitats and wildlife accommodation within the conservation area. There are 25 conservation areas in North Sumatra with a total area of approximately 1 million ha. Some areas potentially could become a natural corridor for wildlife. Through this study we put a spot of potential corridor using GIS, by mapping the areas from 0 m of the protected areas such as national park, to up to 5000m to the position of lubuk-larangan. However by obtaining this map can provide legitimacy for communities at the surrounding conservation areas such as Batang Gadis National Park to participate indirectly in taking care of the national park by supporting their own lubuk-larangan. In practice, the community implements an opening ritual that is only held once a year, and fines are imposed for anyone who violates the rules that have been set and agreed upon. The regional government also supports the existence of lubuk-larangan in utilizing natural resources such as local fish in a sustainable manner. Based on our findings, there are 153 lubuk-larangan located at 64 rivers in 5 districts in North Sumatra that can be used as a link between natural life and conservation areas.

Analisis Perencanaan dan Rekrutmen Guru pada Dinas Pendidikan Kabupaten Lombok Tengah

This study uses a naturalistic qualitative approach to describe the management of human resources for educators at the Education Office of Central Lombok Regency in a complete, natural and in-depth manner. The Education Office of Central Lombok Regency in planning and recruiting educators by evaluating and analyzing the needs of teacher shortages in each school based on the teacher needs proposed by the school principals. Then coordinate in the form of meetings, meetings and joint deliberation in order to propose planning for educators proposed by the school. Planning for the needs of educators (teachers) at the Education Office of Central Lombok Regency, includes two things: (1) the planning process for teacher needs aims to ensure the fulfillment of needs in organizational units, planning is carried out by analyzing internal and external factors, such as resource and teacher needs . After the planning is done, it is known that the required manpower with a certain level of ability or skill is known; (2) analysis of teacher needs. The planning starts from the analysis of currently available teacher resources. The analysis includes two things, namely; job descriptions and job specifications. A job description describes the tasks or work performed, while a job specification includes the skills and abilities needed to carry out the task. In terms of recruitment of educators, the Education Office of Central Lombok Regency is based on the needs of educators by using academic, administrative, health and qualification selections that have been determined, in its implementation it still depends on the provisions of the Education and Training Personnel Agency (BKPP) of Central Lombok Regency. its nature is only to plan human resources and propose employees who have been previously planned, while the recruitment process is carried out by the regional personnel agency. Thus the Education Office of Central Lombok Regency as one of the organizations or institutions implementing regional autonomy authority in the field of education, has a very strategic function in managing the implementation of the education system.

Biased Processing and Opinion Polarisation: Experimental Refinement of Argument Communication Theory in the Context of the Energy Debate

We combine empirical experimental research on biased argument processing with a computational theory of group deliberation in order to clarify the role of biased processing in debates around energy. The experiment reveals a strong tendency to consider arguments aligned with the current attitude more persuasive and to downgrade those speaking against it. This is integrated into the framework of argument communication theory in which agents exchange arguments about a certain topic and adapt opinions accordingly. We derive a mathematical model that allows to relate the strength of biased processing to expected attitude changes given the specific experimental conditions and find a clear signature of moderate biased processing. We further show that this model fits significantly better to the experimentally observed attitude changes than the neutral argument processing assumption made in previous models. Our approach provides new insight into the relationship between biased processing and opinion polarisation. At the individual level our analysis reveals a sharp qualitative transition from attitude moderation to polarisation. At the collective level we find (i.) that weak biased processing significantly accelerates group decision processes whereas (ii.) strong biased processing leads to a persistent conflictual state of subgroup polarisation. While this shows that biased processing alone is sufficient for polarisation, we also demonstrate that homophily may lead to intra-group conflict at significantly lower rates of biased processing.

Towards Equitable AI Interventions for People Who Use Drugs: Key Areas That Require Ethical Investment.

There has been growing investment in artificial intelligence (AI) interventions to combat the opioid-driven overdose epidemic plaguing North America. Although the evidence for the use of technology and AI in medicine is mounting, there are a number of ethical, social, and political implications that need to be considered when designing AI interventions. In this commentary, we describe 2 key areas that will require ethical deliberation in order to ensure that AI is being applied ethically with socially vulnerable populations such as people who use drugs: (1) perpetuation of biases in data and (2) consent. We offer ways forward to guide and provide opportunities for interventionists to develop substance use-related AI technologies that account for the inherent biases embedded within conventional data systems. This includes a discussion of how other data generation techniques (eg, qualitative and community-based approaches) can be integrated within AI intervention development efforts to mitigate the limitations of relying on electronic health record data. Finally, we emphasize the need to involve people who use drugs as stakeholders in all phases of AI intervention development.

The Process of Electoral Reform in Canada: Democratic and Constitutional Constraints

This Article considers the process by which electoral reform ought to take place, focusing in particular on the democratic and constitutional constraints that bear on electoral reform. It outlines a number of possible process options — including a citizens’ assembly, a commission, a referendum, and a parliamentary committee — and it argues that although no single mechanism is mandated, the process must visibly follow the norms of political neutrality, consultation, and deliberation in order for the proposed reform to be democratically legitimate.This Article also addresses the question of whether a constitutional amendment involving provincial consent is required for electoral reform. The Supreme Court has recognized in many of its cases that the electoral system is political in nature but nonetheless subject to certain constitutional limits. The Court has also stated in its prior cases that the choice of the electoral model falls within the domain of Parliament. The remaining question, however, is whether the Senate Reference has changed the legal landscape such that Parliament would now be required to obtain provincial consent in order to usher in electoral change. This Article argues that given the salient differences between Senate reform and electoral reform, the Court could distinguish the Senate Reference and find that its earlier precedents on the electoral system remain valid. The Article concludes that electoral reform can likely proceed without a constitutional amendment involving provincial consent, provided that the reform is consistent with certain constitutional requirements.

Ethical and Regulatory Considerations on Biobanking in the Republic of Korea

Korean biobanks are now adapting to integrate the new paradigm of precision medicine into their fundamental role of promoting health technology. Since the enactment of Bioethics and Safety Act in 2004, the Republic of Korea has developed a regulatory framework that reflects ethical principles. However, the existing regulation of biobanks has recently proven to be limited in responding to newer ethical and legal issues that have arisen. First, as there is an emerging trend for human biospecimens to be stored, managed and distributed as digitalized data, the current role of the Distributive Review Committee may become less important compared to the Data Access Committee. Second, even if public health data is anonymized, the risk of identifiability is growing. This makes a third point relevant, informed consent is crucial to respect the autonomy of patients and research subjects, but current consent rules need to change to reflect the interactive and dynamic communication process, in which information and communication technology (ICT) plays an increasingly prominent role. Fourth, even though data sharing for research is expected to be altruistic and the sale of human biospecimens and genome data remains prohibited, data sharing practices have become more complicated and are closer to commercial use and commercialization. Given these challenges, there is a pressing need for continuing and deeper deliberation in order to develop a more comprehensive and responsive governance framework.

Political liberalism, linguistic diversity and equal treatment

ABSTRACTThis article explores the implications of John Rawls’ political liberalism for linguistic diversity and language policy, by focusing on the following question: what kind(s) of equality between speakers of different languages and with different linguistic identities should the state guarantee under political liberalism? The article makes three claims. First, language policy under political liberalism should guarantee the equal basic rights and liberties of all citizens, regardless of language(s) spoken. This may require positive forms of state intervention, such as the provision of interpreters and translators in courts of law or hospitals. Second, while permissible under political liberalism, symbolic recognition by the state of all languages is not required, because the notion of self-respect does not involve the ability to identify with the institutions of one’s own political community. Finally, while neither the protection of citizens’ basic rights and liberties, nor the guarantee of their self-respect, demands multilingual policies, the latter may be required under political liberalism by the principle of fair equality of opportunity. This last step involves recourse to democratic deliberation in order to ascertain people’s linguistic identities, the costs they associate with the enjoyment of available opportunities and their resulting demands with regard to language policy.

Deliberation for Reconciliation in Divided Societies

Engaging with the literature on deliberative democracy, this article contends that in the context of ethnic group hostilities, deliberative processes where participants have a genuine opportunity to communicate and ‘hear the other side’ can be a way for inter-group dialogue and reconciliation. Separating the deliberative process into three distinct moments, it offers a framework for understanding how unequal and conflicting parties may be brought together to deliberate, how to grasp the micro-politics of deliberation, and to understand the diffusion mechanisms that bring society back in. The approach we propose aims to bridge the normative-macro and the experimental-micro accounts of deliberation in order to focus on non-ideal real-life contexts and to offer ‘deliberative lenses’ to study the (rare) cases of deliberative inter-ethnic reconciliation. The approach and the three moments are illustrated by the deliberative turn taken to resolve a conflict between the Innu communities, the Quebec government and the local non-Innu in Saguenay-Lac-Saint Jean.

Reframing climate risk to build public support for radical emission reductions: the role of deliberative democracy

Some commentators have responded to the diminishing possibility of limiting warming to a global average of 2°C by stressing the need for immediate and radical cuts in emissions. Other commentators have responded by asking whether we should abandon the 2°C target altogether. This paper intervenes in this emerging debate by asking who should be involved in deciding what is to be done. It is argued that deciding the future of the 2°C target should be conducted through democratic deliberation in order to build awareness of the climate risks that radical emission cuts are seeking to avoid. Allowing subordinate perspectives into the newly emergent 2°C policy space will allow for a co-production of knowledge about humanity’s options at this historic moment. This process is intended to build positive public engagement with the radical emissions reduction plan and widen the palette of socially acceptable policy options.

Equal Pay, Litigation and Reflexive Regulation: The Case of the UK Local Authority Sector

Abstract This article contributes to the debate over reflexive regulation in relation to equality by focusing on attempts in the UK local authority sector to bring about equal pay through the implementation of the 1997 Single Status Agreement. This was a national agreement between local government employers and public sector unions that was to be implemented at local level following a local level job evaluation and grading process. Examined through the lens of reflexive regulation, the agreement can be understood as an attempt by the actors to engage in reflexive deliberation in order to give effect to the values of equal pay enshrined in legislation. The implementation process, however, was challenged by significant levels of litigation. In drawing on interview data with actors involved in the implementation of single status and litigation, the paper highlights both the potential of reflexive regulation and some of its limitation. Three issues in particular emerge for the theory of reflexive regulation: the tension between collective solutions and hard law; the extent to which existing power relations can be challenged through deliberation; and the bridging institutions that might be needed for reflexive regulation to function effectively.

Binary Deliberation: The Role of Social Learning in Divided Societies

The aim of this paper is to outline a new framework based on an extension and of the current theories of deliberative democracy. The framework, which I call “Binary Deliberation” emanates from an analysis of the social learning phase of deliberative activity. Deliberation, in the theories of deliberative democracy, is usually treated as a decision-making procedure. However, this approach falls short to appreciate the full benefits of the deliberative process. Binary deliberation argues for an analytical separation between social learning and decision-making phases of deliberation in order to allocate a distinct sphere to those specific moments of deliberation oriented to interpretation of differences rather than making decisions. The paper will also discuss the findings of two case studies from Turkey analysing the interaction between Islamic and secular discourses in the Turkish public sphere. The findings reveal a significant convergence between Liberal Left and Islamic groups in their attitude towards democratic values. This convergence indicates a new tendency in Turkish politics, yet its benefits cannot be fully realised until these groups deal with each other within the spheres of social learning.

La maggiore etŕ dell'analisi della deliberazione pubblica (online). Una rassegna di ricerche empiriche sulla deliberazione pubblica

The emergence of new, textual ways of publicly accessible discussions among citizens has sparked increased interest among researchers who aspire to measure, via content analysis, different normative criteria of public deliberation in order to evaluate discussion. There seems to be an emerging consensus among researchers on what will be called here (online) deliberation - a specific content analysis employed as a tool for evaluation of public deliberation. (Online) Deliberation Analysis is characterised by a specific selection of unit(s) of analysis, selection of cases, and most of all analysis of specific variables: normative ideals of public deliberation. The aim of this article is threefold: first, to present the normative requirements of deliberation as presented in theoretical thought on the public; second, to provide a review of empirical research aimed to analyse these requirements and finally, to propose some possible improvements for future research.

DEMOCRACY ON THE WEB

This paper addresses a fundamental empirical question using data collected in a northeastern US city: does deliberation occur in online forums? While face-to-face deliberation is well documented, there are few empirical studies that address its online counterpart. Deliberation is supposed to foster an educative, rational, open and inclusive dialogue that leads to legitimate policy outcomes. In this paper, the authors develop and operationalize a measure of deliberation in order to investigate the extent to which it is manifested online. In particular, the authors study five regionally defined web forums hosted by the primary newspaper of a mid-sized northeastern US city. Drawing a two-week sample of posts from these forums, the authors then examine them for indicators of deliberation. Firstly, this paper addresses research about if and how the internet affects social life, including traditional notions of deliberation. Next, the authors argue that sociological studies of democratic participation require conceptualization of lived deliberation, and outline a Symbolic Interactionist approach to studying online, deliberative interaction in order to do so. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of this work for future theory and empirical investigation.

Local attitudes on protected areas: Evidence from three Natura 2000 wetland sites in Greece

Environmental policies aimed at the conservation of protected areas are significantly influenced by social factors revealing the importance of investigating local knowledge and perceptions during their planning and implementation. The present article aims to explore perceptions and awareness of citizens in three protected areas of Greece: The National Park of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, the Wetland of Kalloni, and Lake Tavropou. The survey explores perceptions of individuals on environmental issues and alternative management scenarios referring to management actors, funding sources, and management schemes for the conservation of biodiversity. Differences between the three research areas are also explored. According to the results of the study, citizens are in general supportive of protected areas and present relatively high levels of knowledge of environmental issues. However, environmental awareness is not accompanied by active participation for the resolution of environmental problems. By exploring differences between the three research areas, it is revealed that the provision of information significantly influences individuals’ perceptions on relevant issues. Also, a significant finding of the study is that citizens are supportive of some forms of participatory management. It is essential, to encourage public participation and deliberation in order to promote their sustainable management.

Shall We Be Resolute?

Can we change our rational mode of deliberation in order to benefit from cooperation? Two philosophers believe we can. Indeed, David Gauthier and Ned McClennen argue that it is rational to replace the standard form of rationality as described in game theory with a constrained form of rationality. Such a change of rationality is possible because it enables agents to gain from mutual advantage and to avoid the costs of enforcement systems. If these philosophers are right, the consequences of their argument would be groundbreaking in social contract theories. Unfortunately, in this article, I want to argue that the change of rationality they claim possible is not only rationally inferior to the standard form of rationality but is also non-viable as a stand-alone rational concept.
