MENGKAJI KEUNGGULAN KURIKULUM IPA FINLANDIA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PENDIDIKAN SAINS DI INDONESIA

<p><em>The issues in education in Indonesia, particularly in the field of Natural Sciences, are very concerning. According to the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) survey by the OECD, Indonesian students' abilities in science rank low globally, with a ranking of 71 out of 77 countries in 2018 and 68 out of 81 countries in 2023. The science scores also declined from 396 to 383, far below the RPJMN target of 402. Data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) shows that Indonesian 4th and 8th-grade students also rank low internationally. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach through a literature study. Data analysis indicates that the content and competency-based science curriculum in Finland provides a good model by integrating theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Science education in Finland, which is interactive and student-centered, can serve as a reference for improving the curriculum in Indonesia. A comprehensive and context-based science learning approach is needed to enhance the quality of science education in Indonesia. The PISA and TIMSS survey results emphasize the need for improvements in science learning in Indonesia. Science, as systematic knowledge and a scientific process, requires a holistic and integrated learning approach. An integrated science approach that connects science to everyday life is crucial for developing scientific processes in students. Science teachers are expected to have interdisciplinary abilities and knowledge integration. However, often the curriculum and the quality of teachers do not support this goal. This study compares the 2013 Curriculum in Indonesia with the Finnish Curriculum to see the similarities, differences, and obstacles in science learning</em>.</p>

Interdisciplinary knowledge integration in public affairs scholarship: An empirical analysis of the contributions of public administration, policy sciences, and nonprofit studies

ABSTRACT The multidisciplinary fields of public administration (PA), public policy sciences (PP), and nonprofit studies (Nonprofit) contribute in different ways to interdisciplinary knowledge integration in public affairs. At the field and topic level, we examine the variety and coherence of the disciplinary knowledge that each field draws upon when conducting research. Our analyses focus on citations from articles published between 2009–2020 in PA, PP, and Nonprofit journals indexed in Web of Science (n = 991,627). The contributions of each field are shaped by their distinct disciplinary origins. PA is more insular than PP and Nonprofit, in part due to its need to adopt new paradigms because of rapid, substantial shifts in public administration practice. Although Nonprofit achieves relatively more interdisciplinary knowledge integration, public affairs is heavily influenced by knowledge integration in PP. We identify variation in interdisciplinary knowledge integration across research topics and discuss possible explanations for the observed patterns.

Application of Interdisciplinary Knowledge Integration in English Blended Education

Blended education in English combines traditional face-to-face teaching methods with online learning components, offering students a dynamic and flexible educational experience. It integrates technology into classroom instruction, providing access to digital resources, interactive learning platforms, and multimedia content. This approach allows for personalized learning experiences tailored to individual student needs while promoting collaboration, critical thinking, and digital literacy skills. Blended education in English fosters a conducive learning environment that combines the benefits of both traditional and online learning, enhancing student engagement and outcomes in English language acquisition and comprehension. This paper explores the potential of Cooperative Optimized Blended Education (COBE) to enhance interdisciplinary knowledge integration within English-blended education settings. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks such as game theory and optimization strategies, alongside empirical analyses and simulation results, the study elucidates the effectiveness of COBE in fostering collaborative learning outcomes. Through the utilization of digital resources, personalized learning paths, collaborative projects, blended assessment methods, and teacher training programs, COBE offers a dynamic and engaging approach to pedagogical innovation. Empirical findings and student performance data underscore the significance of COBE in promoting student engagement, knowledge retention, and interdisciplinary understanding. Furthermore, the paper highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and assessment to support student academic achievement within COBE. OBE resulted in a mean increase of 10% in student engagement, a 15% improvement in knowledge retention, and a 20% enhancement in interdisciplinary understanding. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes continuous monitoring and assessment to support student academic achievement within COBE.

Non-linear thinking strategies in post-non-classical higher art education: A synergistic concept

Relevance. The relevance of the subject is conditioned upon the concept of �non-linearity� as a conceptual idea of the philosophy of education, which implies a new way of thinking in the context of the modern transitive, non-linear transformation of Ukrainian society.Purpose. The purpose of the research is to understand the significance of non-linear thinking strategies in the modern educational context and to make a valuable contribution to the development of science and art.Methodology. To achieve the purposes and implement the conceptual ideas, several research and search methods were chosen: conceptual and terminological analysis, comparative analysis, synthesis, generalisation of scientific perspectives, and extrapolation of theoretical and methodological provisions. The research methods in the research are based on the concepts of nonlinear dynamics and synergetics as interdisciplinary scientific knowledge.Results. The main results of the research are the identification of opportunities for implementing nonlinear thinking strategies in the context of higher art education. The necessity of expanding the forms and methods of art education and their connection with modern production and spheres of public life was substantiated. The research demonstrates that the mechanism for implementing these strategies in the content of higher art education is: the foundation of knowledge, overcoming its dispersion and fragmentation, the introduction of interdisciplinary scientific integration of knowledge, the diversification of forms and methods of art education and their relationship with production, and the connection with the main spheres of public life (dual forms of education, the production of new knowledge through various educational methods of a projective and research nature).Conclusions. The practical significance of the research is that the introduction of non-linear strategies in higher art education contributes to the deep development of art students, helps them adapt to constant changes in the modern world, and promotes the establishment of creative and innovative solutions in the artistic field.

INNOVATIVE ASPECTS OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SMES: EXPERIENCE OF THE EU AND UKRAINE

Innovations and their use in the competitive struggle, both at the level of national economies and at the level of enterprises, are undoubtedly becoming the main driver of development in modern conditions. This goal can only be achieved through a profound technological re-equipment of scientific, technical and productive potential, which requires an intensification of investment activity in the economy. The latter is a necessary condition for ensuring sustainable growth and strengthening the competitive advantages of national economies in global markets through their modernisation and technical reconstruction. That is why, at the present stage, the only way to develop the world economy to meet the global challenges and increase the level of international competitiveness is to create an innovation and investment economy. However, many factors hinder such development in European countries, and certainly in Ukraine. It is particularly difficult to implement innovations in the small and medium-sized business sector. The reasons for this gap include the low interest of the financial sector and large companies in financing small and microenterprises, underdeveloped mechanisms for cross-sectoral capital flows, and weak levers to stimulate the introduction of high-technology, high-cost innovations for small and microenterprises. As a result, innovation does not become a means of enhancing the competitiveness of the economy. The purpose of the article is to summarise theoretical approaches and practical aspects of determining methods and instruments of regulation of economic development of innovations in the sector of small and microbusinesses in Ukraine. The article is also aimed at a comparative analysis of foreign experience of state regulation of modernisation transformations in the economy on an innovative basis and at making proposals for their implementation in Ukraine. This study uses the methodology of interdisciplinary science. The theoretical underpinning is based on the content analysis of research by scholars from different countries, the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and the integration of heterogeneous characteristics into one system. This has allowed certain results to be formulated, substantiated and conclusions to be drawn. In particular, the comparative analysis of the development of innovation in SMEs, the identification of trends in the development of small and microenterprises in Ukraine under martial law, the determination of the role of innovation in the post-war economic recovery of Ukraine, and the consideration of methods of regulating the implementation of innovation in SMEs in the EU. The global paradigm of the European Union's "new innovation perspective" is that by implementing active policies to promote innovation and new knowledge, EU member states are contributing to the fact that regional policy, which used to be redistributive in nature, is increasingly taking on the features of a structural innovation policy. The synergistic effect is achieved by combining the member states' own national innovation strategies and their participation in supranational, pan-European innovation programmes. At the same time, a feature of recent years is that the EU supranational institutions prefer to assist regions not through direct funding, but by motivating the development of their innovation infrastructure as part of the development of innovation policy. The development of innovative activities should become a tool for strengthening cooperation with other countries and Ukraine's entry into the global innovation community. Participation in international innovation programmes, projects and conferences will facilitate the exchange of experience and technologies between countries, as well as attract foreign investors to Ukraine. Cooperation between the state, business and research institutions will be the basis for creating an innovative ecosystem in Ukraine. Efficient use of national resources and potential, attraction of talented professionals and start-ups, which will contribute to economic development and improve living standards, will ensure the creation of a favourable environment for innovation activities of small and microbusinesses.

PLANTdataHUB: a collaborative platform for continuous FAIR data sharing in plant research.

In modern reproducible, hypothesis-driven plant research, scientists are increasingly relying on research data management (RDM) services and infrastructures to streamline the processes of collecting, processing, sharing, and archiving research data. FAIR (i.e., findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) research data play a pivotal role in enabling the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and facilitating the comparison and synthesis of a wide range of analytical findings. The PLANTdataHUB offers a solution that realizes RDM of scientific (meta)data as evolving collections of files in a directory - yielding FAIR digital objects called ARCs - with tools that enable scientists to plan, communicate, collaborate, publish, and reuse data on the same platform while gaining continuous quality control insights. The centralized platform is scalable from personal use to global communities and provides advanced federation capabilities for institutions that prefer to host their own satellite instances. This approach borrows many concepts from software development and adapts them to fit the challenges of the field of modern plant science undergoing digital transformation. The PLANTdataHUB supports researchers in each stage of a scientific project with adaptable continuous quality control insights, from the early planning phase to data publication. The central live instance of PLANTdataHUB is accessible at (https://git.nfdi4plants.org), and it will continue to evolve as a community-driven and dynamic resource that serves the needs of contemporary plant science.

Expert and non-expert at the same time: knowledge integration processes and dynamics in interdisciplinary teamwork

Contemporary sustainability issues require the integration of diverse knowledge to study and address them holistically. How interdisciplinary knowledge integration arises in teamwork is, however, poorly understood. For instance, studies often focus on either individual or team processes, rather than studying their interplay and thereby contributing to understanding knowledge integration in an integral manner. Therefore, in this study we aimed to understand how knowledge integration processes are shaped by interactions in interdisciplinary teamwork. We present insights from an ethnographic case study of interdisciplinary teamwork among eight master’s students. In this student team, we observed two dynamics that impeded knowledge integration: (1) conformative dynamic manifested as avoiding and ignoring differences, and (2) performative dynamic as avoiding and ignoring not-knowing. Based on earlier work, we expected that contributing one’s own and engaging with each other’s knowledge would ensure knowledge integration. However, the dynamics exposed that it did not only depend on whether knowledge was contributed and engaged with, but also which knowledge was exchanged and manipulated in the teamwork. We coin the concept ‘relative expertise’, which emphasizes that interdisciplinary teamwork requires that collaborators act simultaneously as expert—in relation to their own contributory expertise—and non-expert—in relation to others’ contributory expertise. The dynamics hampered acting as a relative expert, and we saw that this was shaped by an interplay of students’ individual epistemic competencies, shared assumptions about teamwork, and social context. The insights may help recognize dynamics and underlying factors that impair knowledge integration, and thereby inform targeted interventions to facilitate knowledge integration.

A REVIEW OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE LINKED OPEN DATA ONTOLOGIES AND MODELS

Abstract. In recent years, there has been a trend towards synergies among cultural heritage institutions, such as GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) collaborations in the field of information resource management. These institutions have been actively promoting the construction of digital humanities projects. Such projects primarily target data resource construction and digital humanities services, which are in line with the service functions of GLAM institutions. With the development of networking and digitisation, museums have been making more prominent contributions to knowledge sharing and dissemination.Digital technology has brought about profound changes in the academic research environment. The expansion of traditional research and the emergence of new questions in the digital environment have promoted novel perspectives, thinking, and methods. With the increase in digitisation of cultural heritage, the scale of data has grown rapidly, and the types of data available have been continuously enriched, from knowledge aggregation to knowledge organization and even knowledge transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the tools of digital humanities, which constitute an important means of knowledge production, and to work with traditional GLAM institutions to promote digital thinking and interdisciplinary knowledge integration methods. At the technical level, methods such as knowledge graphs and ontologies are used to construct a multi-layered and systematic knowledge system. This paper presents a review focused on three cultural heritage models, CIDOC CRM, Europeana and the Sampo Model, and reflects on three aspects of the current models: technical framework construction, digital resources, and service systems.

Vascularized organ bioprinting: From strategy to paradigm

Over the past two decades, 3D bioprinting has become a popular research topic worldwide, as it is the most promising approach for manufacturing vascularized organs in vitro. However, transitioning from bioprinting of simple tissue models to real biomedical applications is still a challenge due to incomplete interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge and imperfect multi-technology integration. This review examines the goals of vasculature manufacturing and proposes new strategic objectives in three stages. We then outline a bidirectional manufacturing strategy consisting of top-down reconstruction (bioprinting) and bottom-up regeneration (cellular behaviour). We also provide an in-depth analysis of the four aspects of design, ink, printing and culture. Furthermore, we present the 'construction-comprehension cycle' research paradigm and the 'math-model-based batch insights generator' research paradigm for the future, which may have the potential to revolutionize the biomedical field.

Designing AI Using a Human-Centered Approach: Explainability and Accuracy Toward Trustworthiness

One of the major criticisms of Artificial Intelligence is its lack of explainability. A claim is made by many critics that without knowing how an AI may derive a result or come to a given conclusion, it is impossible to trust in its outcomes. This problem is especially concerning when AI-based systems and applications fail to perform their tasks successfully. In this Special Issue Editorial, we focus on two main areas, explainable AI (XAI) and accuracy, and how both dimensions are critical to building trustworthy systems. We review prominent XAI design themes, leading to a reframing of the design and development effort that highlights the significance of the human, thereby demonstrating the importance of human-centered AI (HCAI). The HCAI approach advocates for a range of deliberate design-related decisions, such as those pertaining to multi-stakeholder engagement and the dissolving of disciplinary boundaries. This enables the consideration and integration of deep interdisciplinary knowledge, as evidenced in our example of social cognitive approaches to AI design. This Editorial then presents a discussion on ways forward, underscoring the value of a balanced approach to assessing the opportunities, risks and responsibilities associated with AI design. We conclude by presenting papers in the Special Issue and their contribution, pointing to future research endeavors.

Integrating Innovation and Entrepreneurship into Medical Education: A Framework for Reform

This research paper delves into the subject of innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of medical education in China. It reviews relevant literature on education reform on medical innovation and entrepreneurship and identifies the challenges that higher medical education in China needs to address. These challenges include the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge, the need for in-depth integration of professional education with innovation and entrepreneurship education, the sustainable development of innovation and entrepreneurship education, and the lack of an innovation and entrepreneurship education management system. Additionally, the paper explores the current state of innovation and entrepreneurship education in the United States and highlights the importance of a teaching goal in medical innovation and entrepreneurship education. The study suggests that the United States' approach emphasizes participation rather than the result, which China can learn from. Furthermore, the paper analyzes three aspects: the lack of a system, the insufficient combination of professional education with innovation and entrepreneurship education, and the teaching management concept. The study proposes countermeasures to improve the construction of innovation and entrepreneurship integration systems, deepen the reform of medical courses, and innovate medical management mechanisms. The proposed strategies aim to provide references for the innovation and entrepreneurship education in Chinese medical colleges and universities based on the new medical science. Ultimately, this study provides valuable insights and recommendations for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship education in Chinese medical education.
