HOW DO E-WORKSHEET USING WIZER.ME BASED GOOGLE SITE IMPROVE HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS?

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and Communication Skills (CS) must be taught to pre-service physics teacher in the twenty-first century if they are to become future professional physics teacher. Based on the results of the preliminary study it is known that the HOTS and CV categories of physics education students are still lacking with an average score of 25 and 3. In addition, learning time in class is limited to solving problems so lecturers want to take advantage of technology in making teaching materials that facilitate independent practice outside the classroom, easily accessible to pre-service physics teacher (paperless), easy to provide feedback and correction results from worksheets so that learning evaluation is more effective and efficient. One treatment that can be applied to train HOTS and CS is to use teaching materials in the form of electronic-worksheets (e-worksheets) using Wizer.me based Google Site. E-worksheets will be more optimal if applied in learning, namely the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model and the Blended Problem-Based Learning (B-PBL) model. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of e-worksheets in CTL and B-PBL using Wizer.me based Google Site, changes to HOTS and CS and to determine student perceptions of using e-worksheets. The research method is quasi-experimental with a two-treatment counterbalanced design. The population of this study was all statistical physics classes for the 2022/2023 academic year, consisting of 2 classes with a total of 66 students. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, with 33 students in each class. Data collection techniques used the HOTS test, communication skills observation sheets and perception questionnaires about the use of CTL and B-PBL-based e-worksheets. The HOTS test is in the form of a description with a total of 3 questions including analyzing (C4), evaluating (C5) and creating (C4). Communication skills observation sheets include systematics/format, use of language, completeness and sequence of contents. The perception questionnaire consists of 9 questions using the Guttman scale. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that CTL and B-PBL-based e-worksheets are effective in training HOTS and CS with large categories, namely 0.88 and 0.91. The increase in HOTS and CS was in the high category in both classes but the increase in the BPBL-CTL class was better with N-Gain, namely 0.87 and 0.92. The results of the questionnaire analysis stated that physics education students gave a good response with almost all students stating that the use of e-worksheets using Wizer.me based Google Site could increase HOTS and CS and physics education students were more independent in finding solutions to problems. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that e-worksheets in CTL and B-PBL using Wizer.me based Google Site can increase HOTS and CS.

Collaboration between educational institutions, government, and the community is expected to create a more sustainable environment.

Sistem Informasi Administrasi Nasabah di KSPPS Nur Insani Semarang

ABSTRACT- KSPPS Nur Insani is a sharia cooperative that has been established since 2013, almost 10 years running but still uses the old way of doing administration, namely with paper collections and installment books. This cooperative does not yet have an information system, it only has manual data archives. This process triggers fraud or inaccuracy of data in the collection process from both cooperatives and customers. This is also a supporting factor because in the current era many Indonesians like to use cellphones or laptops to keep records compared to using books or paper, because the system can minimize data loss when compared to paper or books. From some of these problems, a solution was provided, namely by creating a Customer Administration Information System at KSPPS Nur Insani Semarang which has 5 stages, namely: Communication, Planning, Modeling, Construction, and Deployment. In making the system using system design which includes: Flowcharts, Context Diagrams, DFD, ERD, Table Relations, DIPO. and use software including: PHP, MySQL, XAMPP, PHP, HTML, and Bootstrap. The results showed that the respondents' validation assessment using the Guttman scale as many as 15 respondents obtained an average result of 94% which was included in the "Very Eligible" criteria used. Then the results of the expert validation assessment using the Likert scale obtained an average result of 88.3% which was included in the "Very Eligible" criteria was used.

청소년의 다문화 수용에서 주체적 자아(I)의 역할

Cross-cultural acceptability in youth tends to be higher than that in adults. This is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain within the general concept of socialization. It suggests that there is a unique recognition mechanism for cross-cultural acceptability in the experience of youths. This study searched for clues to the mechanism in the self concept proposed by Mead, namely, Me (the social self) and I (the subjective self). The study applied a growth curve model from the second year of middle school to the third year of high school to investigate trends in students’ cross-cultural acceptability and the influence of the subjective self as a developmental factor. Cross-cultural acceptability was analyzed by applying the Guttman scale to items measuring social distances, such as neighbors, friends, close friends, opposite gender friends, and marriage partners. The results show that cross-cultural acceptability increases in a non-linear form from the second year of middle school to the third year of high school. The subjective self significantly increases the level of cross-cultural acceptability in the second year of middle school, but as the grades increase, the influence of the subjective self on cross-cultural acceptability decreases. In cases where the subjective self is high, the function of the subjective self has already been mobilized to increase cross-cultural acceptability in the second year of middle school, and a high level of cross-cultural acceptability has been reached, resulting in its influence decreasing in subsequent grades. The results are evidence that the role of the subjective self, which awakens youths’ spontaneity, initiative, and willingness, is at work in an environment where youth are experiencing the low cross-cultural acceptability of adult society.

Properties of the Household Food Security Survey Module Scale in Young Adults with Diabetes

BackgroundThe Household Food Security Survey Module (HFSSM) was not tailored to people with chronic diseases or young adults (YAs). ObjectivesWe aim to evaluate whether the 18-item HFSSM meets assumptions underlying the scale among YAs with diabetes. MethodsData from 1887 YAs with youth-onset type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes were used from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study, 2016–2019, and on 925 who returned for the SEARCH Food Security Cohort Study, 2018–2021, all of whom had completed the HFSSM. Guttman scaling properties (affirmation of preceding less severe items) and Rasch model properties (probability to answer an item based on difficulty level) were assessed. ResultsItems 3 (balanced meals) and 6 (eating less than one should) were affirmed more frequently than expected (nonmonotonic response pattern). At 1.2%–3.5%, item nonresponse was rare among type 1 diabetes but higher among type 2 diabetes (range: 3.1%–10.6%). Items 9 (not eating the whole day) and 3 did not meet the Guttman scaling properties. Rasch modeling revealed that item 3 had the smallest difficulty parameter. INFIT indices suggested that some responses to item 3 did not match the pattern in the rest of the sample. Classifying household food insecurity (HFI) based on items 1 and 2 compared with other 2-item combinations, including item 3, revealed a substantial undercount of HFI ranging from 5% to 8% points. ConclusionsUse of the HFSSM among YAs with diabetes could potentially result in biased HFI reporting and affect estimates of HFI prevalence in this population.
